We had a truly wonderful experience here! The atmosphere is so artful. It feels romantic, inviting, and comforting. Interesting paintings and artifacts adorn the walls and it might be a good idea to just walk around to take in all of the art. The food is spot on! Everything we ordered was incredibly delicious. From the simple pineapple and pumpkin salad to our big chicken and seafood entrees, every dish was a masterpiece. Great flavors, interesting menu, and you also get to catch a glimpse of the chef putting the final touches on your dish. Amazing staff, absolutely brilliant dining experience. Highly recommend!

The food and drinks were excellent overall. Service was pretty good. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. The only small gripe I have is that they forgot to bring our leftovers after dessert and the check. Watch out for that staircase, especially if you are drinking. We saw a few folks take a stumble.

Booked a reservation on their website since they don't answer the phone and they don't work with opentable. I parked at a garage (320 Clinton Street for your GPS) which was $7 for about 2 hours. It was a block away. It is all street parking in the area. The restaurant is nicely decorated but pretty tight. I'd definitely recommend a reservation because a few people came in and left because the restaurant was packed. Food was decent (but a little too rich for me) and service was very good. It was a little pricey but the ingredients were interesting. I had the short ribs and quinoa. I loved the salsa music in the background. Just the right volume!

This place supposedly has a James Beard winner but the service doesn't show it. Show for a 5:30 reservation and the wood oven isn't 'working properly.' That's half of their menu gone. Sorry but if half your menu isn't available DO NOT OPEN. Or if you know your equipment is on the fritz rent equipment for the weekend. This was Friday for f@#k sake. A busy day and you were not ready for service. The pisco sour was okay. The baocadito was food but no revelation. The patatas choreados...was bland. Sorry but I expected better.

Incredible dining experience! Went for Valentines day and had a great time. Wait staff was charming and food was out of this world good.

Amazing food and drinks. Not too crowded on a Sunday which was surprising. One of the best restaurants in the area.

Fun fare from all over Latin America - heavy on the seafood. Had the grilled plantain and patacones. All delicious.

If you're in the neighborhood you absolutely have to try this place. Everything was exceptionally delicious from the small plates to the entrees. Fantastic service and great environment! Highly recommend!
