   This is my second time here. I really want to like it but the service needs a lot of help. We waited 50 minutes for our food. Once clearing the table no one asked if we wanted desert. I landed up asking the hostess to order for us. It took another 30 minutes for dessert to arrive. The place is trying but they need to train their staff better at communicating with diners.

   Rating: 3/5 Visited: Opening Day (Cinco de Mayo) Establishment: Kosher Restaurant I’ll start by acknowledging the obvious—it was their grand opening and Cinco de Mayo, so the place was absolutely slammed. I totally understand the pressure of a launch night, but some things were just hard to overlook. Let’s talk food first: We started with La Bamba chips—amazing. Fresh, crispy, perfectly salted. But when we ordered a second round (which they charge for), they came out stale. Major downgrade. The wings, though? Total win. Flavorful, well-cooked, and definitely the highlight of the food for us. The elote was another standout—sweet, spicy, creamy, all the right textures. Now for the letdowns: no fish tacos on opening night?! On Cinco de Mayo?! That was a huge miss. We opted for the lamb tacos instead. My wife thought they were a little too gamey for her taste, and honestly, they didn’t wow me either. Drinks? Now we’re talking. The cocktails were solid, and the frozen drinks were actually some of the best we’ve had in South Florida. Rumor has it they were running Monday drink specials, which made things even better. We ended up closing out at the outside bar and bringing our to-go cups with us—loved that flexibility. Service & Vibe: Our waitress was phenomenal—super attentive and warm despite the chaos. The whole table staff really tried their best, and it showed. What didn’t sit right with me was the manager following me outside (while I was on an important call) to ask if we could close out our tab because people were waiting. I get it—it was busy—but that just felt off and pretty unprofessional. The ambience was fun and festive. We loved the energy, the music, and the general aesthetic. There were even free t-shirts (though no XLs left—c’mon, size inclusivity matters even with giveaways!). One odd miss: the big TVs were off. It’s NBA playoffs—turn them on .

   Wonderful kosher option here is SFL. Dirty nachos and beef fajitas were delicious. Atmosphere was fun and staff were friendly. Would definitely go again.

   The owner came and welcomed us. Asked about what type of drinks we like and recommended things. Our server recommended items, too. Very good, authentic and well priced! Seemed like more of a local place—we are on vacation. The only negative is they never circle-back to see if we needed anything. We would have ordered more! Go there is you are in the area!!!
