Absolutely wonderful. The ceviche was outstanding as was my skirt steak and my wife's salmon. Highly recommend - right up there with the best in Philly.

Only had drinks there so would be bias if I said it was good or bad. Mojito off the hook

The first visit was great, but the second time was disappointing. We waited for more than half an hour between our appetizer and entree, and our waitress could not be found. My pork entree was overcooked. It had burnt edge, and the skin was not crispy at all, with some part even chewy. The skin and fat of pork suppose to be my favorite, but I left half of them untouched in my plate. Maybe I should have ordered seafood.
