When we went on a lunch weekend last month, food was good but service needs improvement. I think there was only one lady taking care of everyone's orders and so we had to wait a long time to get napkins and other requests. She also got one of our drink orders wrong, but we just went along with it since she was nice anyway and we were trying to be considerate. The drink tasted fine (a mojito). Kind of pricey for the location, including the drinks (Manhattan levels not Roosevelt Ave in Queens). I particularly liked the seafood rice which had boiled corn kernels from Ecuador (called Mote). Overall, not bad. - LDA Rodriguez
