“ We had dinner on a Saturday night. At the start when we got there at 7:00 p.m., we had excellent service and we're enjoying ourselves quite a lot. Our appetizers and entrees were delicious. Unfortunately at a certain point, a large party came in and our waiter was assigned to them. We felt like the service dropped off quite a bit after that. Additionally there was a DJ whose music was nice but the volume made it incredibly difficult to talk across the table. We'll be back, but on a different day of the week or earlier in the evening. ”
“ The Pollo al Carbon is so good we came back two weeks in a row for a dinner date. Servers and bartenders were very friendly and the food was great. ”

“ Great spot! Food was awesome - we had the Cuban and smash burger and both Were flavorful. Asked randomly for a spicy drink and they made me this pineapple jalapeno thing that was to die for. We sat at the bar and the staff was attentive and charming - my husband and I will definitely come back when in NODA. ”
