- DId will made itNov 11, 20255.0The service and wait staff were amazing. I was able to be seated in less than 5 Mins. Not being from the area. I had the server, recommend the empanadas. And the Key West bowl with pork. It was absolutely delicious and I had a recommend for anybody who wants a quick fast lunch. With excellent service.
- DRDennis ReeseNov 8, 20255.0Stopped by for dinner, plenty of seating inside and on the patio. We started with a few appetizers, the yardbird, marinated grilled chicken tenders, juicy and delicious. Also got the black bean dip served with pita bread, a great starter. Dinner was the cuban sandwich and pork rice bowl. The cuban is fresh and flavorable - just a great sandwich. Rice bowl is excellent, tasty pork, black beans and other topping...plenty of food! We finished by sharing the upsidedown pineapple desert, oh my goodness this was amazing - I wanted to lick the plate lol. Service was great too. Always an amazing place to eat!
- EDErin DOct 25, 20255.0Ordered a burger with avocado and fried egg that has glazed balsamic dressing, with maduros ( sweet plantains) on the side. Food quality was excellent. I just wanted to give praise to the restraint staff and manager as everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy their job and seemed happy. Charlie S. Was knowledgeable and attentive without hovering and helped my husband navigate the menu. My husband had also thoroughly enjoyed his burger with guava BBQ sauce, cheese and potato straws with sweet potatoes on the side with savory seasonings. He got the plantain bread pudding that had whipped cream and caramel sauce. The coleslaw had it's very own delicious unique flavor. The highlight of the whole place was the antique ship decor placed around the restaurant and photos of Hemingway himself. On the way out a staff member informed us that the candles on display were being sold by a local merchant and are refillable. This is now a new favorite restaurant.
