“ The food was HOT! Like fresh off the stove. Delicious and flavorful but didn’t weigh you down. Gracious with portions. Well seasoned. The servers were attentive but never rushed you. It was my first time but I will be back. The music can be loud at times but added to the essence. The decor was so cute. ”
“ The place brings you back to all Dominican memories. From the old iron to the flip flops. The food presentation makes you just eat to take pictures and not touching it. And the service was also very friendly. Especially Marvin the bartender who ensure that we had a big time. I wish they can be a little more flexible with accommodations some food such as changing green plantain for sweet plantain. ”
“ Truly, it doesn’t not get better than this. The food here is too good to be true. Every bite is a new experience. They do not play with their spices. Their passionfruit juice is so refreshing and tasty. If you have kids, this is a wonderful spot to go to! Or even for a date. It’s really beautiful in here! ”
