    Josephine was the absolute kindest server! We had mojitos which were absolutely fantastic followed by the mahi mahi and penne vodka sauce with shrimp. The meal was very very good and I’m excited to come here again when I’m back!

    Food was decent. Something was up with this place as it was Friday night at 6pm and we were the only people in the place. Walked around old San Juan after dinner and most of the restaurants were packed.

    The New York steak is delicious, came out with a delicious smoked flavor, the cook was perfect for what we ordered. We also had the ceviche and it was delicious. I highly recommend both entrées. It’s a very pretty restaurant and the building is really cool.

    The ambience was the main reason we went there. Really an ancient dwelling in old San Juan. Wood was average. Biggest drawback was it was not air condioned.
