03 Sep, 2024The atmosphere was nice, it was intimate enough but also casual enough as well. The food options were all amazing. We got the seafood stew and that was out of this world.. the paella was a bigger portion and wow was there a lot of seafood in there. I got the stuffed chicken breast to try as well.. and that was quite delicious! The service was especially good, they told us the wait time if we ordered a popular dish to ensure that we were willing to wait! They have free bread refills with this sauce/paste (red) that was amazing!! I highly recommend a date or just to try this restaurant out if you’re in the area!

26 Sep, 2024Sept 2024 This hidden gem was a great find. It was close by our hotel and we wanted a cosy birthday meal to celebrate my partners big day. The service was very welcoming and the atmosphere was lovely. Not too busy and not dead either, the setting matched our evening mood. We shared a starter of plantain chips and guac dip, very tasty and more than enough to share. For mains my partner had the steak which she loved and I equally loved the duck, I've never had duck like this before and I was blown away! *chef's kiss* Huge compliments to the chefs. It was all made to perfection. They didn't have to, but I mentioned it was my partner's birthday and they brought out our dessert with a candle and everyone wished her Happy Birthday, she was very humbled by it. It was also the best Churros we've ever had! Definitely recommend this place as a cute date night or if you're looking for a special meal kind of place. A very big Thank You to the Lovely Ethan who looked after us as did the rest of the team.

27 Oct, 2024Hidden gem. Food was fabulous. One of the best guacamoles I’ve ever had. It was served with baked/fried plantains as well as chips. The olive tapenade made with sun dried tomatoes was outstanding. It was served with toasted bread that was a perfect accompaniment. Chilean Sea Bass and scalloped potatoes were both delicious. Our server was good and personable. Enjoyable evening. Will definitely return on next trip to NYC.

29 May, 2024A great neighbour gem! We really enjoyed our dinner. The service and food were amazing. Elvis and Richard really made us feel welcomed too. We had the Salmon special and Roasted Iberian Pork Osobuco. Both were delicious! Don't miss out on this lovely experience.
