I made reservations for a birthday brunch. Upon entry I did not feel very welcomed. We considered leaving but nonetheless decided to stay. Overall we did end up enjoying out brunch experience. We liked the waiter Joseph and the food was pretty good. We had brunch around 12:30 at that time the restaurant was relatively quiet.

Food was great. Service was probably the worst I’ve ever had. Waitress never came to our table we went back to hostess and finally ten minutes later she shows up. No mention of specials or menu add ons. Never saw her again except when food dropped off. No refills. No ask for dessert. No ask if ok. After we finished and waited 15 mins, we went up to get our check. She typed our info into the machine and just left us there. We swiped our card, took our receipt and left. Really awful. Worst service ever.

**Terrible Experience** Reserved for my sister's bday, party of 8 on a Sunday inside dining & it was a terrible experience. Tried to force us to sit outside even though I reserved inside. Mgr. finally agrees, the seats were horrible, sink inside you cant get up, we move. Have to bring all our table settings. Finally order, drinks arrive - TERRIBLE completely watered down and tasteless and wrong ordered Mojitos got yucky margaritas. The Sprite tastes like Seltzer. Food was lackluster and they totally forgot 1 dish so we were all waiting for it to arrive and it never did until I got up to find staff. Complained to the mgr so he sent more terrible drinks 'on the house' no discount at all. Over $500 spent for an embarrassing bday event for my sister. The staff was nice but still never truly corrected the concerns but at least they tried. I will never be back. Save your money and do not go there!!!!!!!!

Took my mom here for Dominican Mother's Day. We walked into a nice courtyard, but as soon as we walked in, it was very LOUD. Could barely carry on a conversation. Food was decent; Mom ordered half chicken with mashed potatoes and broccolini with a virgin piña colada, and I ordered the longaniza mofongo with a couple of beers. My mom wanted to go but will be going back, probably not.

Had a wonderful brunch experience. Food was delicious, service was great and the ambiance was beautiful. The music definitely could've been a lil louder you could barely hear it.
