AMBIANCE: My friend and I came here on a Sunday afternoon to head a bite to eat. We weren’t trying to do brunch or anything but we should’ve known better because this place was brunch vibes all around. It was pretty loud and obnoxious in there. Again, we weren’t doing an all out brunch but I guess if we were we would’ve been ok with the day-party.

DRINK: We both ordered one mojito because honestly, $14 for a mojito is ridiculous. Although we thought it was overpriced, once they came and we tasted them we knew why. The drinks were pretty strong and large so I guess we got our money’s worth. It was delicious.

FOOD: We ordered a side of yuca fries which was DELICIOUS! They were so addicting and they brought so many! Omg they were so good. I ordered the Campesino roll. I’ve been waiting to try this for years because I’m from FL so we don’t have anything like this back home. I also don’t eat regular sushi so Dominican sushi is right up my alley. I will say that I wish this was a little warm, I know sushi is served cold but since everything is cooked in this roll I would’ve have liked it to be warm. I also could taste a faint fishy taste in my rice. It wasn’t horrible to the point where I couldn’t eat it, but I would appreciate it if my rice didn’t smell like fish when I’m trying to eat my salami y queso.

SERVICE: We had a large party next to us with which we shared our waitress with. Our waitress was very lively with them and would sing the songs with them when they started singing and whatnot. I thought that was fun because she kept that pumped up energy that they were giving off. I did notice at one point she brought the table some drinks and they were not very satisfied with them so they wanted to send them back to the bar. The waitress asked what was wrong and then I saw her point to the glass as if she’s asking to taste it to verify. She sipped some of the drink and proceeded to take them back to the bar. I found this to be unprofessional as you should not openly take a sip of an alcoholic drink from a guest. Also, she is not a bartender, only the bartender should taste their drink to verify if it is correct or not. And even then, they usually take a small sample using the suction of a straw, not drinking from the glass itself. I just didn’t like that.

Overall this place is cool if you’re trying to go out and have a little party with your friends, definitely not a place to just grab a quick bite because it’s always a party in there. I would go again but with a larger group of ppl and maybe at night.
