    18% gratuity at a restaurant in coral gables is crazy and rare. The food was very salty and the seafood I had with my order “the catch of the day” was extremely over cooked. The service was very good and the waiter was very nice. The $30 bottle of still water was something I’ve never seen in coral gables. I will not be returning.

    As an Ecuadorian and loving away, the food made me feel like home. That feeling that warms your heart and puts a smile in your face. Excellent service, the ambiance and the music were perfect! For sure I’m coming back to try other dishes. This time I had the Locro, Chopsue and ceviche, everything so tasty.

    Experiencing the Ecuadorian cuisine was part of my perfect day because I took my parents with me which loved and enjoyed the place, we had a chopsue and the traditional cazuela, we also had the ecuadorian platter, everything we had was amazing, I can’t wait to come back and tasted a different plate from their menu.
