★★★★☆ 4.0 Federico Gallego · Feb 2026

Overall, we had a really pleasant experience. The customer service was great , the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome the entire time. The food was good overall. The fried calamari was slightly chewy, and the picanha had nice flavor and seasoning, though the slices were a bit thin. Nothing bad, just small details. The crème brûlée was very good and a great way to finish the meal. The best part, honestly, was the price point. For the quality, service, and atmosphere, it offers great value. Definitely a solid spot if you’re looking for a nice meal without overspending. We’d come back.

The places isn't bad! Had the Assado Shish Kebab and was cooked well (even the small steak whichI wasnt a fan of it). I did wish it offered more of the meat and rice but still good nonetheless. Desert was great

We had a family dinner here with about 30 people. They put us in the private dining room closet to the front door. It was perfect. The table placement was great and we had plenty of room. The portion sizes were huge. All appetizers were large and easily shareable as well. We ordered multiple desserts to share across the table and everything tasted delicious. Would definitely return.

Cute restaurant for an odd location. I wasn't expecting much from a byob strip mall restaurant (liquor store few doors down). The main room is open and bright. We sat in a cozier room that can be used for private dining. Not busy for Friday night, but our waiter Fernando was amazing and upbeat, very attentive and personable, making us feel right at home. The menu looked great with lots of fish and meat options, a couple pastas but not much in vegetarian options. For starters, we had about 4 baskets of delicious dinner rolls and butter (yes they kept refilling our basket 😋) and shared the grilled portobello with mozzarella and balsamic glaze, & the shrimp in garlic sauce. Both were wonderful. Portobello was large enough for 2 ppl to have a couple bites. Entrees! I had the Paella Valenciana

Nice cozy space. Two rooms can be used for parties. The food was existent. I went with a party of 8 and everyone loved their food. I'm looking forward to going back. I had the Chicken Estoril and my husband had the Lamb porterhouse with balsamic glaze. Both are pictured and amazing. I took the picture halfway through eating. Others at the table had stuffed shrimp, t-bone steak, surf and turf, seafood over linguine, and salmon. I'm looking forward to going again. It's definitely a contender for a future event.
