Absolutely fantastic dinner. The service and the food are always high quality. From the moment we walked in everyone was amazing. The greeter, bar tender and our server, Austin, were excellent. We went for my son’s birthday for the best Cuban sandwich in Orlando by far. We had a wonderful night dining on the patio.

Excellent service, and the food was fabulous. The fillet I ordered was quite flavorful and exceptionally tender, though slightly over cooked. Well worth a second visit the next time I'm flying in or out of Orlando.
