I went there late at night, around 1 a.m., and was honestly surprised by how good everything was. The food tasted like real Dominican home cooking, full of flavor and very authentic. The staff was extremely welcoming and attentive, which made the experience even better.The place has been renovated recently, so it looks much nicer than in the older photos. Drinks were excellent, and on weekends they also have theme parties, which add a fun vibe.Overall, I definitely recommend trying this spot—it’s worth it. - Maison Florença
