Decorations good, the piano was good.i didn’t like seating next to strangers when they had plenty of tables open, drinks full off crushed ice so you barely drinking anything , skirt steak wasn’t medium well it was red and cold and the sides were 4-5pieces of sliced potatoes and two broccoli tasted good. The dessert was good. The worse part of all was the steak under cook and cold.I don’t suggest this place I left hungry and thirsty

Delicious Latin gourmet options, and the service was timely and professional. I would definitely go back, in fact, I went back two days later when they had live music.
