“ This restaurant has really good food, service and ambiance. It's in a strip mall so there's plenty of parking. There's a nice outdoor area and another smaller area with recliners and couches. The music was good for dancing and the drinks were tasty at the bar, except the dirty martini not so good. I forgot to take pictures of the food, but it was all good the clams, shrimp, calamari with sweet and sour sauce. All tasted fresh and the penne vodka was made really well. People also liked the steak, but I don't eat meat. I would recommend this place for a party, night with friends or even a date night. ”

“ I was told about this place by my brother. Was not far from there shopping for floor tiles and decided to go in for lunch. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Nice ambience for a date night. The service was great, very friendly, attentive and accommodating. The drinks and food was the best part of this experience. For drink we ordered the Honey Fig Martini...it was absolutely delicious and sexy. We started with the Calamari Jalea...the green sauce that comes with it was orgasmic. I even put the green sauce on the crust bread that we got even before we ordered. The spread that came with r bread was good too but the green sauce was just delightful. I had the grilled octopus with salad, it was perfectly cooked, very tender and tasty. My lunch partner had the skirt steak, again perfectly cooked, very tender and tasty. Lunched was topped off with a piece of Tiramisu which was truly amazing, smooth and light. I will definitely recommend and will be returning. I can't wait. ”
“ First let me say this is the BEST brunch I think I've ever had! My girlfriend celebrated her birthday here and I'm glad she did. The decor is light and airy - it's really cute. They had a DJ which gave it a "party" atmosphere. Now I will say the patrons were young, VERY young, even the staff - no one looked old enough to drink lol. She picked the $65 per person package which came with unlimited mimosas and Bellinis and I don't know how many courses. I will try to list them all - hopefully I won't forget any. Started with fruit, then a sweet platter (waffles, crepes, danishes), salad, empanadas (beef and chicken), cheese balls, calamari in a sweet sauce which was absolutely delicious , eggs Benedict, steak with potatoes (that steak was to die for - so well seasoned) and a dessert platter of mango cheesecake, carrot cake and tiramisu. You have no choice but to dance because you're so full from eating. My only wish is that they weren't so far away (it's a bit of a hike for me to get there) because if not I would DEFINITELY celebrate my birthday there. ”
“ Had brunch here a few weeks ago! Definitely a good experience overall. Music is so loud so you can't have a conversation but it's Lava so no talking and dancing is okay with me. All the food was delicious! The one set back was that our party of 7 had to keep asking for the bottomless sangrias to be filled up and asking for water to be replaced on the table. So for the lack of service I gave it 4 stars. Definitely would go back again though. ”
“ Food was delicious! Everything was good! I mean everything...well, except for the coffee. Pasta, steak, rice balls, octopus, calamari, empanadas, dessert! Try everything! The air condition was on high and too cold but this place is fun! Dance and eat to warm up. Music was upbeat. They have valet parking in the back. They have private rooms for large parties. What a fun place! ”
“ Everything was delicious! The service was great; very attentive We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the owner, Mario, could not have been nicer! Highly recommend the lobster ravioli... probably the best I've ever had! Also the atmosphere is really nice. ”
“ What a beautiful restaurant and wonderful service and atmosphere! Food was outstanding!! Definitely recommended. ”
