    Finally someplace that lives up to expectations!

    We were a little nervous when we arrived for dinner on a recent Saturday night because front of the room was very busy and we were waiting for them to either make us wait for a long time or forget about us in the rush. Neither happened and we were seated in five minutes. From start to finish we had a simply delicious meal with a very good server. The food is inventive, with great flavors and superb presentation. And best of all, it comes out of the kitchen in good time. I will definitely be back because my only regret was that I didn't have the opportunity to taste more of the menu.

    Poor service

    If you want to wait forever for overpriced food, you'll love this place. The staff I'll tell you your food and drink are on its way. That is code for " be patient; it'll b out in 45 mins".

    Great place!

    I went here last Friday and enjoyed it a lot! The service was excellent and the food was amazing. Great place for a date or dinner with friends.

    Expensive, small portions, and just eh ...

    Went here last week with the girlfriend for dinner... place had a really nice ambiance, and the waiters were attentive and helpful with the decisions. For starters, we had the Siete Potencies ceviche, and the Carica Tejada. The ceviche, while tasty, was a rip off. Tiny martini glass of fish for $16. That dish should have cost $12, max. The Carica Tejada was different... you won't find a dish like this anywhere else... mango type fruit filled with duck confit. Was good, but honestly was expecting it to be better. For the mains we had the sea bass and the paella. The sea bass was really nice... tasty skin and all. The paella was good, but not really anything amazing. For $29, I would have expected more seafood in it. Was about 2 mussels, 2 clams, and 4 little shrimp, and a few pieces of calamri. And oh yeah... advertised as served with head on shrimp. You get one. I thought all of the shrimp were going to be head on, so that was disappointing and misleading. Dessert, we had the pear tres leches. This was really, really good. Different take on your typical tres lehces cake. Total for all of that, plus a pitcher of sangria (which was ok) and another drink (the gin, not so great), plus tax and tip came out to $180. Considering the amount it cost, I felt the place did not deliver in terms of quantity or quality. Both were subpar for what the meal cost.

    One of the best all around meals I've ever had.

    My husband, parents and I went to dinner on a recent Monday (we had reservations), and were seated immediately though we arrived early. Between the four of us, we had 2 salads, a civeche appetizer and 4 different entrees. Each one was amazing. I asked that the scallops not be made with too much salt to accommodate my dietary needs and they were perfect. My mom's sea bass was incredible and the vegetarian crepes were better than I would have imagined. The service was perfect. Not rushed, excellent waiter, new utensils for each course. Oh, and the drinks are dangerously good. The prices are a touch high, but well worth it if you're looking for a special night out.

    Delicious food/Excellent Service

    I had dinner here the other night. Food was outstanding and the service was great. They accommodated my celiac disease (intolerance to wheat, rye, barley) without any issue or fuss. The atmosphere was also very nice. I highly recommend.
