Server was terrific. Empanadas were amazing. Cubano sandwich did not disappoint. The band was great, but we were glad we were outside on the terrace because even there, it was loud. If I wanted to go and eat good food and then dance, this is definitely the place I would go! As it was, we were in the best spot to enjoy both.
