Love it!

I had such a good experience here. The decor is trendy, the food is amazing, and the drinks delicious. I loved the yucca rolls they give you to start off. The food here was very flavorful and delicious. I would definitely come back.

Dishes I tried:

I really really liked this appetizer because the fish was refreshing and tasty. Plus they serve it in a cute mini-taco holder.

Scallops

The halibut was good but not stellar. I thought the sauce was bland but the fish was very fresh.

This is a mint mojito with fresh watermelon crushed in it. It’s very yummy!

These guys were pretty good. They’re known for their ceviche, of which I thought the halibut was really spectacular—had a good kick to it and a balance of flavors. Their fire and ice ceviche could have been better, I would definitely branch out on that part of the menu. For mains I ordered the lobster xim xim which was good but also a little rich. We also got a chance to try the crispy skin pork— a little dry, but a great idea. Cocktails were really strong there, as a warning. The setup looks to be great for a group of friends, it’s a little loud for small groups. Service was good, overall a good time!
