    Bottom line: fantastic experience in all senses. The food was delicious, mixology crazy on point, and the ambiance is private yet friendly. Recommend. Gluten line: no menu markers (see pics) but chef came to the table and helped us to navigate. However, plate arrived with bread on the side. Chef immediately cut that portion out, but disappointed with the oversight. Long line: recommended by a friend, we arrived in a week night to a full house and live music. The wait wasn't long and we sat at table that was a bit awkwardly placed, given the tight spacing, but we made do. We started with drinks, which are pictured. Delicious! The double fashioned and chocolate fashioned were outstanding, and what you'd encounter at a New York speakeasy for $17 each. The Ftida Khalo was also a hit. The menu was extensive and when we asked about gluten free options, we appreciated that the server immediately called over the chef who was making his way around the restaurant. He discussed options and we ordered. My steak was very well made, medium rare as steak should be, and I overall enjoyed the meal. The risotto dish, the gluten free dish, did unfortunately come with two pieces of bread, and chef apologized and cleared it out and everything it was touching. We also noted a bit of a disorganized winesystem, with random bottles dispersed throughout and sporadic pricing. Overall I'd return for the mixology and food but I wouldn't particularly run back.

    Best risotto ever. I can't recall the name of the plate I think it was "Loki" but oh boy best risotto I ever had, creamy, full of flavor delicacy. The place is very nice and melow, nice choice of music from SOAD to Led Zeppelin and the decor is very artistic. My boyfriend and I visited the restaurant on two different occasions and we just keep talking about it, it's just very very very good, highly recommended.

    Good local place with fresh fish and veggies. Everything we ordered was good from the blackened red…read moresnapper to the salmon and the churrasco. The menus is constantly changing but very delightful and plenty of options. The desserts are specially good. Try the coconut flan or the chocolate cake. The staff is super friendly and happy to help in any way. They greet frequents by name and are always looking to make your experience as comfortable as possible. If the place is small but it's clean and feels like you are eating a home made meal. There is parking at the restaurant and a bar next door. Good place to go when in Aguadilla.

    We had dinner here a few nights ago, and enjoyed our drinks, our dessert and the service most of…read moreall. For drinks we had a watermelon-lime cocktail and a ginger-lime cocktail, and both were great - flavorful and balanced. We also had the jalapeno cheese dip appetizer which was very tasty! For dinner, I had the grouper over mashed potatoes with a side of grilled veggies. The fish was not fresh - my guess is it was frozen, thawed and sauteed, resulting in a mushy/very soft texture and limp appearance. Potatoes were ok, a little bland; grilled veggies were fine, but I would have preferred them even more grilled with char marks. My husband had the breaded pork chop with local rice, and Israeli salad which was cucumbers and tomatoes. The chop had a sweet onion sauce on it that he didn't care for, but everything else was good. We also had desserts - ginger flan and guava cheesecake - both were excellent, and I would visit again just for dessert! Our server was excellent - attentive, friendly, efficient, and when we provided feedback on the meal, she was gracious and let us know in the future we can ask for different sauces to suit our preferences. We easily found parking in the lot just in front of the restaurant, and even though the restaurant was busy upon arrival, we were offered seats at the bar while we waited, and within 5 min we had a table. I included a pic of the menu to show the impressive diversity of entrées. Definitely lots of options, and the most veggie dishes of any restaurant we visited in 5 days in the area. I think this is a good place for a group with diners who have diverse tastes and/or food preferences, as it feels like there's definitely something for everyone.
