They offer an assortment of tapas, though the portions are much larger than traditional tapas style. I ordered the Mariscos de Coco and it was absolutely delicious -- super flavorful with a generous amount of seafood throughout.

Another bonus: it was walkable from my hotel, making it an easy downtown dinner spot. Really cute place in the heart of downtown.

I love an inventive twist on almost any dish, but I do not enjoy tartare on a pave as much as I do on a traditional crostini, or even a potato chip. You need something with a harder, crispier texture to balance the softness of raw beef. Flavor and presentation were great, just a personal preference. My dining companions both got pasta. My cousin loves her bolognese, my husband was lukewarm about his pasta as well, due to the sauce being on the thinner side. Again, flavor on point, just a personal texture preference. For the second visit, two of us got dishes featuring their steak. We both ordered medium rare, and the steak was medium well done. It was of excellent quality, just cooked too far. The ambiance is beautiful and the service is always very informative.

Truly this spot would be an easy 5 stars but the service is fairly lacking, if I could rate traits individually it would be 3 stars. It's a small lounge so when you walk in they'll tell you to sit anywhere but that might be your last interaction if you don't kinda catch someone walking by. Getting a glass of water and a drink order in took a good while, and ordering food felt like I was asking the waiter for a heavy favor, it made the experience feel uncomfortable. But the food and drinks really make this place worth it. The frosted water Lily cocktail was delicious, it packed a flavorful punch of coconut with violet and once we did order food the plates came out quick.
