The waiter remade it at the table so he made it right but funny how it was served in a cactus margarita glass. The bread basket came..extremely dry slices of bread and some saltines. Then we ordered our mains. Waiter said mine would take about 25 min. No problem so we ordered an appetizer to munch on while we enjoyed our drinks. My husband's main dish came right out within two minutes. Wait, what? So we sent it back stating we just ordered appetizers and mine was going to take 25 min... Appy came and we enjoyed it ( crusted cheese wrapped with some type of leaf ). Eventually my salt baked-crusted Pompano arrived. It looked as if they had just piled some fresh kosher salt on top. Didn't look baked. As the waiter removed the pile of salt, he started filleting the fish for serving. It looked mushy, not firm as he was carving..my first inkling of a problem. I took one bite and as it came close to my mouth, I got a faint whiff of something off and should have stopped there but being the food trooper that I am, I took that bite. It was pure nasty rotten fish. I asked my husband to confirm that I wasn't just being a wimp so he smelled it as well and said nope, don't eat it. They took it back and I had the grilled shrimp ( which wasn't exactly on the menu since their version was heavily covered in some type of cream sauce but when they originally brought it to my husband way before our appetizer, he asked to leave the sauce off ). The only saving grace was the family next to us that brought their pet goose for an evening stroll. I would not recommend this place and I have to wonder what chef would let a stinking rotten piece of fish to leave his kitchen!

But the yellowfin tuna tostados were swathed in sweetened soy sauce, the fish soup had little savor, and the casserole with red rice and seafood featured gummy rice and little seafood. The chips that arrived on the table were stale, accompanied by a salsa that was basically Russian dressing. Only the leche de tigres ceviche was good, mainly because the okay seafood was drenched in good spicy lime.

The cocktails were ridiculously creative (including ingredients like soursop juice, eucalyptus, charred pineapple, worm salt, basil, cucumber etc--obviously not all in the same cocktail), and served in dramatic glasses with fun garnishes. In terms of food, we were four people and we shared four starters (yellow-fin ceviche, kampacho and blue fin sashimi (which they call laminadas), and a shrimp "envelope"--each one was remarkable, and served with flavorful sauces that complimented the dish. Our mains were also good, though not as spectacular--they offer Catch of the Day (mahi mahi today) prepared in three different styles. The plain one (pan seared with shallot butter) was nothing special, but the option served over spinach with a cream sauce was incredible. The grilled shrimp main was also excellent as was the chocolaty dessert. Overall a delightful meal with excellent service and cocktails!

Turns out everything we had was really fresh and delicious. Personal favorites were the Camarones al Ajillo, the Pulpo, the Yellowfin ceviche, the Mahi-mahi, and the suckling pig. Which was basically most of what we ordered... Taking off a star because there were a few options on the menu that weren't available, which was a little disappointing. And despite how delicious everything was, it was all fairly simple and traditional, without much wow factor to account for the higher prices. The service was fantastic as well, however, so this is a definite recommend!

The batter was light and I liked the freshness. We had the Camarones asados (shrimp) and this was one of my faves. The shrimps were grilled and had a really nice sauce on top. My favorite was the calimar lolingo which is calamari in a peanut garlic sauce. Sooo good. You use the bread the dunk in the sauce. My family ordered the Gordita and they all like it. For the desert we had the flan and it was a perfect end to the meal. I will be back

Definitely was worth the splurge. The only disappointment was the shrimp dish we had. The shrimp themselves were great, but it just seemed too salty for us. Oh well, maybe we were just spoiled by all the other dishes.
