   Great food and drinks, very cozy ambience. Would be an awesome date night spot. Be advised that they only sell appetizers as opposed to full entrees. They’re delicious but you’d have to order a few to get full. Don’t arrive starving like I did.lol

   Don’t let the menu fool you… the food is fye… the drinks fye… the vibes are immaculate. The price is reasonable considering we had 2 drinks and 5 “botanas”. This is great for a first date or catching up with a friend you will not be disappointed at all!!!!!

   The restaurant has such a charming atmosphere with its cute decor and cozy, low lighting. The food was delicious, and the drinks were perfectly crafted. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. I truly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back!

   The drinks are well made. They will make you come back for a second trip. The food compliments the drinks, without stealing the spotlight from them. A welcome addition to Hyde Park.

   Great vibe and drinks! The food could be better, but they are meant for snacks.

   The whole setup needs revamping. I paid a $30 deposit to set a RSVP. I get there to find out most of the food that I wanted was gone. I requested to obtain my deposit back. It was declined. I had to order something to utilize my deposit. Thanks for the experience, but I definitely would not be returning.

    Came on a Friday around 8pm for girls night, we were a group of 6. Our initial seating, greeting, and ordering were fine. Our first hiccup was the food hitting the table before the drinks. The food seemed streamlined and hit our table quickly, our drinks noticeably lagged. 3 of us ordered the same cocktail, and 3 were different. We were chatting and catching up, would’ve been nice for the food to be held and not fired until after the drinks hit the table or for that to somehow have been communicated. Food arrived as it was ready, we pretty much did everything on the menu since we knew it was small plates and tapas style. The tamale was my favorite item, ceviche was a strong second, and the empanadas were delicious! A few of us ordered additional drinks, but never all of us at once and each time the drinks took a long time. The very last one we ordered we ended up cancelling. We did express to our server that we felt the wait for drinks was extensive, we were told the delay was because it’s a craft cocktail bar. Table maintenance or even suggesting drinks as opposed to waiting for us to order them may have made for a more pleasant experience. Considering it’s still new, hopefully drink builds can be simplified and a better service flow can be established.
