    Food was absolutely superb, nice vibe with live music and we were given a proper table. Incredible flavours, really impressed. Service can improve, staff was confused, came twice with beer already served, same happened for a food plate.

    I really liked the service, my friend has an allergy and we really appreciate the care the staff had to ensure that all her food was not contaminated. We also like how you pay the bill, very quick and simple. Food was delicious too

    The server was amazing at helping identify which dishes I would enjoy and the food was fantastic! I got the plantain tacos and the white bean dip. I really wanted to eat more but was too full. Will definitely be back.
