Very good value for some very well prepared steak frites. The room is not much to look at, and it’s pretty loud in there, but the food was delicious, the servers friendly, and the pricing is very fair. What’s not to love?

Love this place for a fun night out. Charli Duri on Friday nights is amazing. His energy his singing and the percussionist that play with him make the evening super fun. The food is all really good and they have great drinks. My favorite is the ceviche and the yuca Frita but there’s lots to choose from.
