   Our waiter “Chandler” was great very attentive and picked out some great drinks for my husband and I. The food was extremely delicious. I ordered the lamb chops with Jollof rice my husband ordered the Rasta pasta with shrimp and chicken.

   I was extremely disappointed with this restaurant. The calamari appetizer was dry and tasteless. The drinks took too long and the restaurant wasn’t even at capacity. The Rasta pasta was cold and presented as if it was just warmed up in a microwave. I ordered a bottle of Prosecco but they brought champagne instead. After I declined the champagne, they magically found the Prosecco in the basement. Overall horrible experience. For a restaurant that’s been open for a while, everything was giving amateur hour. Hope they get it together soon.

   The "all you can eat breakfast" wasn't worth it, It's basically tapas and nothing was really good. If you want to save money and go this is an ok option, but I would advise ordering al la carte. the empanada were great.

   The ambiance and staff was great. The chicken masala and chicken wing was salty but the sangria, French toast, coconut shrimp was very tasty.

   The service, the food, and the drinks were excellent. My steak was cooked to perfection. Mashed potatoes and asparagus were so tasty. Everyone enjoyed their food. Salmon, salmon salad, and the Paella were all very good, and the presentation was beautiful. Nice place, very friendly, the drinks were amazing. I had the blackberry whisper, and it was delicious. They did an excellent job with the interior. The decor is beautiful. Highly recommend.

   Excellent restaurant with delicious food! Cocktails were good, not great. The mocktail was too sweet and overpriced. Wine selection was very good, not overwhelming and both red and white offerings paired well with the main courses. Service was good, attentive and friendly wait staff. Overall a good value.
