Review content:
I know, I know, it may sound like an exaggeration, but I tell you, (and for your own good you should try to prove me wrong) I felt like I was in a dream (now that I think about it, it might have been that delicious roses cocktail I had :). At first I was a little hesitant to go all the way down there, but once I arrived, I was thoroughly impressed (I suppose its the magic of low expectations and a long cab ride after work). From the way it has been designed (the picture above is only the beginning), to the fantastic service (had friendly, sweet waiters and bartenders), to the food (it left me speechless, the apps the entrees the desserts!!)... I went with a couple of friends, and since, we've all become regulars (and I live in UWS)... The way the tables are set up makes this restaurant perfect for an intimate dinner... Oh! and I almost forgot... The music selection was simply delightful. Definitely added to the experience, as it was the perfect balance between upbeat and lounge music. My boyfriend, who is a connoisseur, couldn't stop raving about the wine list. I will be completely frank, as a Latin woman who considers herself a good cook (and judge of it, shall I add), I dare say, this is the BEST Latin restaurant in the city (and trust me, I've tried them all!!)... But in reciprocity for this informative review ;), please don't go too much, I like my favorite restaurants to not be overcrowded... Oh and if you get a chance, inquire about the big table they have in a BEAUTIFUL little terrace sourrounded by trees (secluded, with a view of the second floor of the restaurant), its adorable! I suppose that if I had to boil it down to one reason this place is great is originality. And in a city of a million and one restaurants, that alone is worth its weight in gold :)
Pros: FOOD, decor, Service, music
Cons: highly addictive, cocktails are too good ;)
