The service at this restaurant was impeccable. I didn't have a reservation at peak dinner time and they squeezed me in! My girlfriend got the pumpkin bisque, which she really liked. The chimichurri steak was also delicious, and so were their salmon.

Highly recommend this place to eat. Always good service and great atmosphere. Side note, I had the best Tacos (Swordfish) last night. They were amazing, all the flavors went so well together. I just had to post about the Tacos!! So if you're looking for good food I'd definitely go here!!

I was very impressed because when I got to the restaurant part of the menu was Puerto Rican!! The food was spectacular, the service was very excellent. I wanted to meet the chef but there were many diners in the place.

Exceptional dinner. Julie’s mojitos were lights out. We got jumbo garlic shrimp and arroz con pollo. Homemade key lime pie to finish the job. Awesome on a quiet summer Sunday night in Woodstock. Thanks

The cuisine was unreal. I got the pork shank and it fell off of the bone it was so tender. The steak my husband got was cooked to perfection and so well seasoned. The tres leche cake was also sublime. We originally dined here because it was the only well-rated place that was open on a Monday night but next time we visit Woodstock we’ll seek it out regardless of what else is open because we were so impressed by the quality of flavors and the service!

Amazing atmosphere and food, and friendly staff. I was with a couple of friends and we all ordered different plates - vegetable paella, swordfish with ravioli, and pork shank - and they were all delicious. We also ordered the coconut cake for dessert (also delicious!). The restaurant was busy and we arrived a bit late, but our waitress was always very friendly and we never felt pressured to order/leave. I'd definitely recommend it if you're going to Woodstock

The food and staff were wonderful! We had the veggie paella and garlic shrimp. Fresh and yummy! The bartender was super attentive (we were at a high top) and knowledgeable. The only not so great thing is not a reflection on the restaurant but instead on an extremely rude party of 12. They were overly demanding, mean to both the host and their server and I pray they at least tipped well. What started out as a peaceful and calm meal became chaotic and we hurried to pay and leave. A shame, as it was my husband’s birthday and we were having a lovely time. I cannot wait to return and try the desserts!

Love this restaurant! Every time we visit this town we try to stop in. This is Latin fusion at its best. The food is always so flavorful and good. Today we started with the corn and chorizo chowder and it was so good. The chorizo gave the chowder a smoky taste, it was delicious. For our entrees I had the Cuban sandwich and my girlfriend had the jerk chicken. Both meals were excellent. I love a good Cuban sandwich and this one hit all the right spots. The rotary pork was delicious. My girlfriend loved the jerk chicken it was really good. To end or meal we had the flan which was ridiculously good. Great job, we will come back for sure.
