La comida es exquisita. Me trasladan a mi tierra, sabores que me traen los mejores recuerdos de mi ninez. Excelente servicio.

I loved it the first time I visited, & since then, it has become my go-to place to enjoy live Latin bands. The service is excellent, the ambiance is wonderful, & the restaurant looks chic & stylish. The food is good-not the best I've had, but definitely enjoyable. Overall, it's a great place for a fun evening, especially if you love live Latin music!

First off all, the food was delicious & the portions were enough. Not too big, not too small.

The manager or owner, not sure which, was super friendly & approachable. He made sure our orders were attended to. However he had to supervise the terrace so he went out. The rest of the evening, we weren't really looked after by the rest of the staff.

The big thing is the orders took a long time. About 40mins to an hour. After following up with the kitchen a few times. The place wasn't even full.

If they improve the service & the timeliness of customers receiving their food, this would be a place you'd love to keep coming back to.

Nous sommes allés souper dans ce restaurant un samedi soir vers 19 h avec un groupe de 12 personnes.

L'ambiance était correcte, mais la salle de bain manquait de propreté & aucun groupe ne faisait de musique ce soir-là.

Nous avons commandé de la sangria, qui était très bonne. Par contre, le service nous a déçus. La serveuse nous a apporté un petit verre d'eau en début de soirée, mais aucun refill par la suite. Elle manquait également un peu de tact lorsqu'elle nous a proposé d'autres boissons qui n'étaient finalement pas disponibles.

Le restaurant est également très peu adapté aux jeunes enfants, aucun menu pour enfants, ni petites activités ou dessins pour les occuper. Avec un groupe comprenant de jeunes enfants, ce n'était vraiment pas l'endroit le plus adapté.

Côté nourriture, c'était correct, mais rien d'exceptionnel. J'ai commandé un burger qui était littéralement carbonisé. J'ai demandé qu'on le retire sans le remplacer, puisque nous avions déjà attendu environ 1 h 30 pour être servis & que je ne voulais pas attendre encore une heure pour recevoir un nouveau plat.

Au final, c'est un restaurant correct, mais beaucoup trop cher pour ce qui est offert. Rien de particulièrement exceptionnel qui justifie les prix, & le service ainsi que le temps d'attente n'ont malheureusement pas aidé.

Une expérience plutôt décevante, surtout considérant le prix.

Venezualian food done right! Courteous staff in a modern decor. Wait for the bands for some great music vibes! A must try!

On a pris le brunch Steak & eggs, il était super bon sauf que la quantité était minime pour nous (5 petites patates colombiennes, petite steak & je crois même pas 2 oeufs ) pour un brunch de 40$ je trouve que la quantité ne match pas avec le prix.
