    We were seated immediately. We preferred outdoor seating on the River and they were able to accommodate our party of 4. The server was excellent! The Oysters were excellent and the main courses as well. We would come back to enjoy your Dining Experience! Thank you, Beverly Caudill

    We loved our dining experience on 7/8/26 at 6:00pm. The decor, ambiance and setting were delightful and our waitress, Rosemeris, was friendly and helpful! She recommended an appetizer, Barquetas de Malanga, and it was so good we could have made a meal of it! Our drinks were La Yuma and Cabernet Argentina with our entrees of Churrasco and Camarones al Ajillo. Absolutely amazing food, succulent and seasoned perfectly! Can’t wait to visit again in the future!
