Wow. Incredible food, wonderful service and beautiful outdoor patio if it's sunny. Had to pass my compliments along to the awesome chefs. Definitely won't be my last time at this amazing little find.

Great little Venezuelan place!Atmosphere - very nice - couple of cozy booths, couple of tables inside and outside. Service - friendly and quick. We had to change tables cause outside was too cold and they were quick to accommodate. Food - very very good! Very generous portions for mains; appetizers were delicious! Fried plantain with cheese inside - simply amazing, and bacon wrapped almond filled date - seems like the best chaise for a drink. Definitely a place worth checking out! Note - no reservations possible. First come first serve.
