The menu online looked amazing, so I decided to give this place a try. Here’s my honest opinion.First off, the food tastes incredible, no doubt they have a talented cook. We arrived shortly after opening (around 5:20 p.m.) and were the second table there. We sat inside, but unfortunately, we all ended up getting bitten by mosquitoes, which was a bit uncomfortable.We ordered a few appetizers and were excited to try them. While they tasted great, the portion sizes were very small, especially considering the price. For a group of four, they weren’t really shareable. The olives, for example, would pair perfectly with some bread on the side.As the place started to fill up, we noticed other tables getting their food before us, even though we had arrived earlier. Our mains took quite a while to arrive, and the same happened with dessert. When we finished, it also took a long time to get the check, it felt like we had been forgotten at times. Service was okay, but inconsistent, as we had different servers each time.Overall, the food was excellent, but the portion sizes, wait times, and service could use improvement. - Jasangelis Medina
