"This place is a small joint, but I think it's just perfect! Come spring, summer, and fall I can see this place being super busy. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Menu isn't too big, but this is a must stop! I had the pargo con crema de coco, which is Dominican style snapper fillet in coconut cream. And all I have to say is wow! I was able to make two meals out of this. The flavor was there and just popped. You can def taste the coconut. The fish was not dry. I had a bite of the El Cubano as well and it was good as well. I highly recommend coming here. The staff is so nice. The food came out at a reasonable time!"

"Worst banana split ever. They didn’t put whipped cream and cherries on it and when we asked we were told “we’re busy so we forgot”. There was only one other group in the store when we ordered. I guess they just take your money and don’t give you what is listed on the menu as ingredients. Extremely rude staff. Our banana split looked like a sad ice cream soup 2 minutes after ordering. Since I wrote this review, I have been harassed on my personal social media accounts. I will take legal action if harassment and stalking continues."

"Our dinner here was incredibly disappointing. Our table for six was clearly meant for only four, as my seat was half on the tile next to the window and not even fully on the carpet. The service was very slow, it took 30min just to get our initial drink orders in, another 20 for appetizers, and a full hour after we sat down to put our main order in and at least get some bread on the table. My husband ordered a manhattan and just got a glass of whiskey on ice, and had to flag someone down after 10 minutes to get it corrected because there was no follow-up from our server. The calamari was rubbery to the point of being difficult to chew. I ordered a medium rare filet and received medium well. We split the check 3 ways, one for each couple, and they were all incorrect with either drinks or appetizers put on another 's bill. This was not at all the fine dining experience we expected, and it certainly wasn 't worth the price tag. EDIT 24JUN2024: I tried emailing the address provided in the response below and received a 550 5.4.1 Recipient address rejected: Access denied. bounce-back."

"Food was good, service was poor- the waiter was not the most attentive and I felt overlooked for my baby face even though we're in our 30's, were well dressed and dont mind spending money on a good experince. Maybe he thought we were going to be cheap because we look so young, which is far from the truth, and still not an excuse for the poor service. We didn't even get drink refills, which I had to get on my own at the bar. The most disappointing part of our visit was the atmosphere. The bar was INCREDIBLY loud and echoed into the restaurant as there is no wall separating them. We were hoping for a quite more romantic spot given the pictures and reviews, but we're extremely disappointed with the overall experience, especially for the price. We would have spent more had we enjoyed ourselves, but as it sits, we would not return."

"Overall a very nice experience; seated promptly with a reservation. Our server was thorough, helpful, and attentive. What struck me was how good everything smelled upon walking in. It made choosing an entree difficult but opted for the New York Strip while my wife chose the Buffalo Shrimp. The steak was cooked perfectly and the shrimp were plump and flavorful. Our sides were excellent. The dining room, though mostly full, wasn’t too loud though I could see it being a bit noisy if you were looking for a quiet place to dine. I would dine here again and would be happy to explore the menu"
