This last time we went the servers were not as friendly, which had never been our experience before. They added TVs which really changed the atmosphere. They also changed the menu to make it more basic, adding a burger and burrito bowl. We had the consomé and tlayuda. The tlayuda was very good still but the consomé tasted less like abuelas homemade soup, which we always loved. For entrees we got the enchiladas and puntos de filete. The enchiladas were realllyy unimpressive, just not very good. The puntos were always my favorites, but they just didn't hit lime before. This used to be at the top of our list but sadly it's fallen off big time imo.

Service was excellent except for one glitch, see the end of the review. For appetizers we had the mixed green salad, tomato and burrata, and gambas al ajillo served with house focaccio. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. The main courses included the seared salmon with beluga lentils, chicken tagine, and mushroom risotto. The risotto was the best I've had. The salmon also was perfectly cooked. The chicken deliciously spiced; the couscous was either undercooked or needed to be fluffed. No room for dessert, but who could resist. The tropical paradise with mango mousse was the best. The tahini brownie was delicious, but odd. The desert rose was not at all baklava. It was a nest of kataifi and somehow missed the target. Some of these dishes appear on the restaurants Miami Spice menu - I recommend them all. My only comment was that there were lots of leftovers. We were not able to take away any leftovers. Would this be the case if you were dining with your family? Food waste is such a problem in our country. Perhaps this restaurant is part of a system that donates food to shelters.

The food was excellent, the service was very good, and the cocktails were well-balanced and well prepared. Unfortunately, everything was overshadowed by the music situation. The restaurant has a DJ playing music at an extremely loud, almost unbearable volume that feels completely out of place for an upscale Mediterranean restaurant. Songs by Bad Bunny and Pitbull were blasting at nightclub levels in a restaurant that was not even crowded. The atmosphere became genuinely uncomfortable and made it difficult to enjoy the meal or even have a conversation. Instead of creating an elegant dining experience, the excessive noise made the place feel chaotic and unpleasant. It is disappointing because the food and service deserve praise, but the music alone was enough to negatively affect the entire experience.

For main meals we tried the branzino (2). Also the braised beef short rib was excellent (hearty and moist) and the double cut lamb chop was cooked perfectly.

We later realized the restaurant was actually part of a hotel, which we had no idea about when we stopped. The setting was definitely the star for us. The outdoor area is beautiful and inviting, and we honestly found ourselves more mesmerized by the surroundings than the food. But the service... absolutely everything! Emilio was wonderful! He was welcoming, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, honest about the menu. We really appreciated that he didn't just try to sell us on everything. He listened to what we liked and guided us toward what he thought we would actually enjoy. The food itself was okay. Nothing we tried particularly blew us away, but the menu is pretty varied, and there were definitely other dishes that caught our attention. Would I come back? I actually wouldn't mind! Between the beautiful setting, the atmosphere, and Emilio's excellent service, I'd happily return and explore more of the menu. Sometimes the overall experience is what brings you back, and this place definitely has that going for it.

I ordered a Salt & Sol spritz which was a fun take on an Aperol spritz and has mango juice and peroni- interesting! We also got the aperitivo - which was a fun little tray of snacks, pan con tomate, and the burger. The burger has gotten a lot of hype and I am here to say it's well deserved. Would definitely go back if into vecinos. It seems like the perfect casual spot for post beach day drinks and food, or just a nice bar to catch up with friends.

They then bring your drinks and any food to your table. We sat inside because it had rained a bit before and the patio area was still wet. To eat, I indulged in their burger and it was delicious. It comes with a special sauce and some onions. I tore it up! For cocktails I had their take on an espresso which was very spirit forward. Then I decided to try their twist on the aperol spritz which had a salted mango juice and was topped with Peroni. I will say, I really enjoyed tasting the saltiness with each sip. Parking can be a bit tricky, it's street parking. On Wednesdays they have a nice little happy hour special that you could get a charcuterie board half off with the purchase of a bottle. Definitely gotta come back for that happy hour. Other than that, they have happy hour from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm everyday.
