LOVE!!! What a wonderful experience!! Drinks were great and food was just amazing. Service was excellent. Definitely recommend & will be returning. See you again
Most ordered items are that for a reason! The oxtail samosa was an immediate stunner - the pastry was delicious and paired with perfectly cooked and seasoned oxtail. The pork belly with the toronto dumplings was perfectly cooked. The short rib dish was perfect. As were the sides and drinks. Top notch service, food, and ambiance. Will be coming back to try more!
The best dining experience Ive had in sooo long! Everything from the drinks, the food to the service is 5 stars. The food was incredibly flavorful and beautifully created. Darlin was our server and she was so sweet and informative. The Manager Carolina will light up your night with her incredibly welcoming energy and amazing personality! So in love with everything this restaurant had to offer, can’t wait to come back! Thank you all for making my birthday dinner so so special!
First time here and I should say it was a great experience. The food was amazing as well as the drinks. The appetizer was to die for, truly enjoyed it. Darlyn our server, she was fantastic, informative and sweet, really enjoyed having her assisting us through our dinner. Will come back soon!!
Carla was sooo amazing, she made my entire experience worth while. Ive been wanting to visit for some time and the food and ambiance did NOT disappoint!! Literal food orgasms -the menu was so well crafted. I’ve traveled many countries and to think that a place in my own hometown -the Bronx- would hit the way it did I’m just at a lost for words. New favorite place!!!! I’m trying everything because the chef did not disappoint.
Carla was amazing and provided spectacular service throughout our dinner. We were celebrating my father in law’s birthday and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The food and drinks were tasty, delicious and better than we could have expected. The octopus was soft and succulent, the red snapper was crispy and moist, short rib was tender and spiced perfectly. Everything was a la orden y perfecto!
I have been to countless restaurants, but this one compelled me to write a review. A big shoutout to Pablo for the amazing service! In addition to Pablo, the overall staff, food, and atmosphere were top-notch. It almost felt like I was in downtown Manhattan instead of the Bronx! Please come and spend your money here—you will not regret it! I give it 10 stars and I will definitely be returning.
The food and service was good. Elizabeth was very nice and attentive. The food was good but I wish they were bigger portions. I liked that the food had a blend of Asian and Dominican. The Samoas were amazing. The music and environment were great. The place is very picturesque and social media worthy.
