Found this gem one afternoon after shopping at the outlets mall. They’re open late ..must I say very tasteful feels like ur at a party. The seafood amazing.. drinks amazing atmosphere amazing. We had a great time, planning more trips I want to try everything on the menu! The whole restaurant is glamorous to me???? they also have a cute DJ booth

So delicious all of it!!! Quite the selection of cocktails! Had a cantarito and a Mezcal cocktail with egg whites that were both just superb! The octopus was hands down one of the best octopus dishes I have ever had, forget what I said in my other reviews about other octopus dishes, this one wins, lol. The drinks were a little slow to come out but service was great and very friendly. I’m so glad I discovered this place. The decor? Every inch was picture worthy! Such a vibe.

Our first time here celebrating my daughter’s bday. This place is very nice. Presentation on food is on point. The drinks were delicious, sangrona and margarita de tamarindo. The carne asada and vuelve a la vida was tasty as well. The ceviche was lacking taste. The tacos queso birria were just ok. The broth was bland, almost seemed watered down. However, my daughters bday cake was delicious, very moist.
