    This place is bigger than i throught it would be. Really cool interior. Ceviche was decent, cocktails were pretty good but the rice pudding was disgusting. Do NOT get the rice pudding.

    Love the bar. But it took 20 minutes to get someone to take our order and the place isn't 1/2 full. Plan on a loooong wait for a drink.

    My drink was good for my first time. Bad part is it took 9 mins for someone to acknowledge me while I was sitting at the bar.(no welcomes, how are you, hello,nothing) bad hospitality
