Food was not good. Burger was a 6/10. Mofongo was a 5/10. Everything was very bland. Staff were nice and attentive. Restaurant and bathrooms are clean.

Dinner was great, food was excellent. Setting is nice. Service was smooth but slower than I feel it should've been due to volume of people but that's my only complaint and to be honest the servers were still patient and attentive. I will be returning with my family. This is a good place to plan events!

Great service, polite staff. Good food, affordable and large portions!

Beautiful twins baby shower celebration. Awesome lovely event . Excellent service & food. Everything made the celebration more special. I will be back soon .

Always love stopping by this place. Great everything. The bartender pays attention and gives great service and attention

It was my first time here.<br>Our server was so patient with my sister. She has a hard time with decision-making and articulating what she wants. He was great! The prices are reasonable. The food was very tasty. This is now my new favorite place in the Bronx!

I ordered chicken parmesan with spaghetti. It was delicious! Should I take in a picture of it? But I didn't. Sorry about that. But I can't tell you that the serving of the chicken, parmesan and pasta is LARGE! The servers are ok, A little slow for my taste. You must try the cheesecake. It is Awesome, creamy and light! The atmosphere is nice. If you're celebrating any type of party, make reservations. They have parking but it's very small. They are located right on the corner, so the traffic is very busy.

Excellent experience - we had a TIME! Celebrated our Sistagirl's birthday and they honored our table change request to accommodate the additions to our party. Few of us chose the 2hr unlimited window for Sangria or Mimosas. The food was ahhhh-mazing, the music on point, the photographer appeared at the best times and sometimes out of no where it seemed; our server, Lisandro, was pleasant, accommodating, and his service team flowing and present. Overall great experience for intimate gatherings and celebrations 🍾

I placed an order of nearly $100 and unfortunately had a disappointing experience due to repeated mistakes and lack of acknowledgment from management. I requested BBQ wings over the phone, the receipt showed “whiskey BBQ,” but I was given what appeared to be Asian-style wings resembling a sweet-and-sour type sauce and they forgot to add my soup. Even the hostess acknowledged they smelled like the Asian sauce. I waited an additional 10–15 minutes for the order to be remade, only to find once again that it was not the BBQ flavor I requested. Unfortunately, when I returned to my car for the second time, I discovered the wings were still not prepared as requested. At that point, what appeared to be the manager or owner came out, confirmed I wanted “just BBQ,” and he explained that whiskey BBQ and the Asian sauce were “nearly the same.” In my opinion, these sauces are completely different, and I was unclear how the order could be confused twice given the distinct flavor differences. At a minimum, confirming the order details before remaking it would have prevented the repeated errors. Considering the size of the order, and the fact that the wings were made incorrectly twice, the forgotten soup, I expected a sincere apology or some gesture of goodwill. While mistakes can happen, what I found disappointing was the lack of acknowledgment of the inconvenience, no apology, or a genuine concern from management. I felt as though the wings could have been compensated due to the avoidable errors. I left feeling that the situation was handled without empathy, which unfortunately overshadowed the rest of the food experience.<br><br>(I’ve attached a photo of what is clearly not BBQ sauce for reference.)

What a great place, food excellent, service excellent, best coffee I have had since Costa Rica. If you are in the area this is a must try.

The restaurant is a good size so seating was no issue. The service was really good, our server was there and ready for whatever we needed. Bottomless coffee!!<br><br>Food was really good, the pancakes were fluffy not dense, hash was delicious and portions were on point maybe a touch too much but that’s what takeout containers are for.

With the music loud, yet nice enough where you can have a conversation, a nice atmosphere of lighting, and delicious food, this place is a great spot. We were a party of nearly 15-20. The drinks were good too! They have frozen drinks (fave), beer and liquor. The pernil was delicious and came WITH THE BONE. Not sure if that is a regular occurrence-we were super grateful! With our party being so large, i can understand why it was confusing for the servers attending to us. They did a decent job of 8/10. If you enjoy eating our regularly, this is a place to go!

In terms of decor, space and setup this is probably one best in the bronx. Even though they have a wide variety of food options I think food is very average level. "DO NOT GET THE DOMINICAN BREAKFAST❗❗ that you see in the menu booklet, its a rip off it looks nothing like that when it comes out, very misleading and disappointing. The salmon crockets are not even salmon taste like tuna or they mix the salmon with something else it was awful too soft on the inside and lacked flavour❗also, the coconut coquito french toast was underwhelming. It didnt taste remotely close to what the menu describe. Everything else just tastes ok, nothing special.

Ambiance was beautiful! But if I had to point out one thing out it’s the stains on the fabric chairs. Waiters were really nice but the host who sat me down could have at least tried to smile. The food was amazing and I loved its presentation. Affordable and good quantity of food. Defiantly worth the visit!
