    The front section of the restaurant was quite busy so we were seated in the back area/garden which we really enjoyed. The food arrived quickly - we ordered appetizers instead of entrees. We are Cuban so we know how big the portions are so we opted for appetizers instead . Food was delicious and authentic. Service for us was great - attentive. We'll be back !

    The food and the service were very good. But the place is tightly packed and extremely noisy. No conversation, even with someone within inches of you, is possible.

    We loved our experience. There were 6 of us and we each ordered something different. We all decided that our own meals were delicious but the pork chops won the best in taste. Diana and Lynette were charming and helpful as our waitstaff. Such a nice evening and a thank you to our hosts. Try it for yourselves.. Mary
