    Todo el staff muy atento, es la segunda ocasión que visito el restaurante y no decepciona. Tanto los cocteles como la comida están a un nivel de altura. Es cocina puertorriqueña llevada al mas alto nivel y lo mejor de todo es que incluyen productos de cosechas locales. Un agradecimiento a Vivi que hizo de la noche una muy especial.
