First time trying Otto's High Dive and overall we had a really good experience. The ambiance is great and definitely gives the place its own personality. We didn't have a reservation, so we ended up waiting about an hour, but once we were seated, the service was good and everything moved along nicely. The croquetas were incredible and easily one of the highlights. We also tried the ceviche with watermelon -- I actually loved the watermelon in it, but unfortunately the tuna was a little too fishy for my taste. Now the ropa vieja... WOW. That was absolutely to die for. The rice and beans genuinely tasted homemade, and even the salsa they brought with the bread was incredible. Those are the little details that really stood out to me. The drinks were also very good and paired perfectly with the whole atmosphere. Overall, there were a couple of things I liked more than others, but the dishes that hit REALLY hit. I'd definitely come back, especially for the ropa vieja and croquetas.
Decided to finally give Ottos a try, love the vibes of this restaurant reminds me of Miami in all the ways. We got a table close to the bar and the music playing was good ole reggae couldn't get any better. This was our first stop for the magical dining experience I started with the Ceviche it was delicious, all the flavors works so well together only wish that I was bigger lol For my main I did the mojo chicken, it was ok the roasted chicken had a lovely crisp to the meat but flavor was basic. The dessert was to die for lol when I saw plantain bread pudding I was sold! It was definitely a unique twist to bread pudding. All the pairing cocktails were fabulous! I'll definitely be back to sit at the bar and enjoy cocktails with a vibe.
First Magical Dining experience and man, this was a good one. The atmosphere was great, the music was on point, and our server Joy helped us with our choices and was fun to talk to. Started with the smoked fish dip and that was a straight 5 out of 5. For the main I had the Lechon Asado. Great flavor, tender and definitely didn't disappoint. Then finished it off with the Flan Duo for dessert. But let me tell you about the best $30 I spent all night. I upgraded and did the drink pairing with every course. App came with a Cuba Libre, main was paired with the Funky, and dessert came with Coquito. That coquito with the flan??? Lord have mercy. Whoever came up with that pairing knew exactly what it's like in mom's house during the Holidays. Food was great, drinks were even better, and that $30 upgrade was worth every damn penny.
We just visited yesterday with a party of 5. The service was wonderful and both the food and drinks were delicious. We all went with the magical dining options and some of us decided on the pairing of drinks with each course. I got the Mariposa, Pina, and Arturo Fuente. The Mariposa nice and light and a great start to the drinks. The Pina smelled spicy and strong, but was a good balance when you sipped it. The Arturo Fuente was strong and tasted like a cigar and was very tobacco and coffee forward; it was great with the sweet dessert. For food, I went with the ceviche which was nice and fresh. The mustard seed gave it all a little kick. The main was the roja vieja which was nice and tender and shredded just right. For dessert, I got the bread pudding which came with ice cream topped with caramel. The ice cream was creamy, but not overwhelming sweet. All the portions were so generous! If going with someone, I'd recommend sharing the cocktails, but it was a great value at $30 additional. The courses on magical dining were $40, but they had some options for additional pricing.
The interior of the restaurant is super cute, with plants decorated all around and above. I had booked a RSVP for magical dining and I was able to make it to their HH times, though I could not order properly as the timing was off when the server came back, however, he was very understanding and was able to get us certain appetizers for HH price and small glasses coquito to apologize for not coming back in time. The food and drinks though were very delicious. The smoked fish dip was seasoned well and the ceviche had alot of contrasting texture with the melon, tuna, and avocado. The flancocho was very good but also a strong drink; I enjoyed the texture of the foam and the brulee. The Lechon Asado was a well balanced dish in terms of flavor; the pork was tender and the rice contained most of the flavors. The Maduros were made hot and fresh and it was just perfect. The orange tres leches was a bit thicker in cake texture which I wasnt quite expecting since the description of it was a sponge cake, and the cream mixture was too sweet; the maduro bread pudding however was very nice, and I really loved the brightness that came from the guava caramel, though the gelato that accompanied it tasted more like a cool whip cream but was still good when eaten altogether.
We had such a great time here! We were able to enjoy the Magical Dining menu and sit at the bar, and our bartender, Jose, was so attentive, kind, and friendly! He truly made the experience even more fun than we could have imagined. Everything was delicious, from the drinks to the food and especially the desserts! We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back. Huge thank you to Jose for taking such great care of us!
Otto's is a must. A very pleasant experience from start to finish. Ambiance: tropical, lush, evoking Old Florida and Cuba. Absolutely love the tables and chairs, the lighting and the green natural ceiling. Drinks: Phenomenal work by the most talented and friendly mixologist/bartender in Orlando, Jose Luis. Food: we tried the pasteleiros (carne y queso), the ropa vieja (amazing, truly the best one yet, the meat was extremely tender, moist and well seasoned), and the bread service. Everything came out quickly and warm.
Went here for happy hour and it was okay. I will say, the picadillo dish is amazing and a must order! $2 up charge to add flavor to my mojito. I didn't particularly like the tostones because the sauce had a strong vinegar taste to it.
Food is so good I cried. Came for magical dining month which I almost forgot was a thing. What a treat! $40 for an entree, app, and a dessert? Feels like I'm back in the early 2000's! We dug into the Lechon and the Ropa vieja. Two Cuban staples. And we were not disappointed! Cesar salad was ok, I did like the dressing but not a fan of the bitter seasonal greens, lots of people like that though just my preference. The ceviche though with the mustard greens was chefs kiss! Overall the feel of the place is cozy yet vibrant with quick service for drinks that keep you entertained. Parking is an absolute nightmare at peak times but that's the price we pay for milk district vibes! Regardless, I'll be back for more, if I can find parking ;)
Otto High Dive was our next stop on my Magical Dining tour, and wow, what an experience! My sister and brother-in-law were visiting, so we made reservations (definitely recommend). Parking was easy with free spots in the back and additional street parking. We were a little unsure where the entrance was at first, but a staff member outside noticed and guided us right in small detail, big impact. Once inside, we were greeted warmly and seated immediately. The restaurant was lively and busy in the best way. It's an intimate space, but beautifully styled very much giving South Beach energy. Our waiter, Louis, truly elevated the experience. He introduced himself, explained the menu thoroughly, and made great recommendations. We opted for the Magical Dining $40 three-course menu along with the $30 drink pairing, which included a drink for each course such a great value. My meal: * Appetizer: Fresh ceviche with tuna, avocado, and watermelon light, flavorful, and unique * Drink: Floridian Slip refreshing and perfectly balanced * Entrée: Ropa Vieja - rich, tender, and paired perfectly with rice, beans, and Cuban bread * Drink: Funky - fruity with a nice kick * Dessert: Maduro Bread Pudding - sweet, warm, and indulgent * Drink: Coquito - smooth and the perfect ending Every single course was thoughtfully prepared, and the drink pairings complemented each dish beautifully. Overall, everything from service to ambiance to food was amazing. I'm already planning a return visit to try their happy hour menu!
I'm really glad we tried this place, but probably won't be in a rush to come back anytime soon. The parking is a tight shared lot, so you might get lucky and find a spot, or park across the street and walk over like we did. Our reservation was at 7pm and we didn't get seated until almost 7:30pm. The place itself isn't very big, it's cozy, cute and I liked the vibes but when the other couple we were meeting with showed up it did feel a little crowded by the host stand. The host was nice enough to give us a menu to browse while we waited and someone came to ask us what drink we would like to sip on (i really thought they were offering us a free drink for the wait, but later saw we were charged for them, no biggie but would have been nice considering we waited so long) Drinks were all so so good! No complaints there. We started with the smoked fish dip and ceviche which was different than your typical one, but refreshing! I had the skirt steak - it was flavorful but definitely heavy on the salt. I still really enjoyed it as well as the rice & beans. Hubby got the ropa veija which he enjoyed. Our friend got the osso buco which he liked, but said the chicharron was not good at all. We then had some pastelitos for dessert! They added a 18% gratuity to the check, which was fine and I appreciated them telling us as well as circling it. Overall I think it was really good but nothing out of the world, you can find similar food for much less at your other local Cuban spots - what sets the place apart is the drinks and vibes so if you're looking for the whole experience then it's your place.
Justin our server made this meal very memorable. He was knowledgeable and helpful when we ordered. My husband went with the magical dining experience. He had the Caesar salad, ropa vieja and the orange tres leches. I had the squash and burrata salad. That salad?!!! Absolute perfection This is a definite winner and we will be back to enjoy more goodness. It's a smaller place, but very nice ambiance.
It's a classy Cuban restaurant in the milk district. But it gets the job done for a girl who misses her Miami Cuban food. I always admire the space when I enter. And the bar is stunning as well. I highly recommend making a reservation, even on a weekday. You'll be surprised by the amount of people coming through who enjoy a good meal and drinks here! I finally tried their espresso martini and it is on my list of top 5 best espresso martinis in Orlando. They have an espresso machine, so you know it's fresh. I was starving but thankfully the waiter was knowledgeable and told me that ordering the Vaca Frita as an appetizer is more than enough. (I'd say for 1 person but that's just me being big back. Also my friend was there just for the drinks and plantain chips). It's hard to not compare it to the authentic dish I had back in Miami. But I did enjoy their take on it. Wish the meat had more flavor, and was crispier and the whole chunks of garlic.. should have just been diced. We each got one more drink, and not going to lie the drink menu is unique. So shoutout to our waiter again. He asked what liquors/drinks I usually lean towards and suggested Leaf at Dawn. I have no photo but omg it was delightful

We had such a perfect date night at Otto High Dive; the kind you want to relive. Made a reservation two weeks in advance. The energy was just right, and our server, Savannah G, made all the difference. She was warm, sharp, and so in tune with what we wanted before we even said it. We started with the Filet Carpaccio; paper-thin beef with that bold coffee spice rub, horseradish crema, and fried capers that gave it such a great crunch. The Crab Salad was next, and those jumbo lumps with pineapple and lime! So fresh, so bright. We added roasted chicken to the Squash & Burrata; the kabocha was spiced just right, and the burrata made it feel like a treat without being heavy. And the Ropa Vieja; wow. Tender braised short rib, rich sauce, and that Cuban bread on the side! My husband said it was one of the best meals he's had in a while. read more
We visited Otto's to take advantage of their Magic Dining menu! It definitely did not disappoint. The weather was perfect & we got a table in their outside area. They were playing classic Cuban music the entire time. The appetizers were all solid! Loved the Pastelito the most. I knocked this down one star because of my entree - the description noted it came with congri but this is definitely not congri. It was yellow rice with a handful of black beans, so that was disappointing. The flan was 10/10 & so was the Cuba Libre cocktail. We'll definitely be back, just maybe not plan my dinner around my congri craving read more
This was my second time at Otto's. The first time was when they first opened, so that was a while ago. I didn't have the best service the first time, but the food and ambiance was really nice. I decided to give it a second go around to see if service would be better; sadly it was not. It was worst. The only good part of it was how extremely nice the front hostess was. My waitress barely checked in on me and I am pretty sure she forgot to put my main entree order in. I sat there forever. The hostess ended up passing by me and I was able to wave her down since my waitress was no where to be found. The hostess was able to check on my order and finally the waitress came out with it. No apology for the wait. Nothing. With the plethora or restaurants popping up all around Orlando, people have lots of choices on where to spend their money. Although the food is good, it's not a place I would go out of my way to come back to since service is on the mediocre side. read more

This was my first time here and definitely not my last! Service , ambiance and food were all 5 stars for sure. I originally came here to meet a client and ended up staying for food and drinks with another friend who also wanted to try this place. I am a lover of any kind of oyster and these were so fresh , I could have easily ordered another round. I have a lot of special things to celebrate coming up so I do plan to come back with friends and family and have a good time !!! read more

Oh, this place is so cool. I've been wanting to go here for a long time and everyone I know has had the same experience. I did absolutely fantastic. The food was phenomenal and I was able to go on a Friday and catch lunch. I had the burger which is only offered for lunchtime I believe on Friday and Saturdays and it was so good. I also had the Flancocho and it was amazing. I have suggested a cohort meet up for happy hour because it was that great. Can't wait to return. The parking is a nightmare, but it was well worth circling around and stalking people. read more

I am so glad I finally got to try Otto's! The food and drinks are delicious! We got the Vaca Frita which is a Flank Steak, Tostones, Caramelized Onions, Red Sofrito, and Aji Verde. The flavors are perfectly layered! Same goes for the Mojo Chicken - Roasted Chicken, Braised Onion, Chimichurri, White Rice, Black Beans, and Cuban Bread. The chicken was so moist! The service at the bar was great! Kudos to Brandon for making drink suggestions. We first had the espresso martini, then the Key Lime Fizz (adorable mini key lime cheesecake on top) and followed by the Piña Mamecita. The place is a little small, but decorated with a tropical kind of feel to it. Parking is also limited, however I think they are working on that. I'm already looking forward to going back, just wish I lived a little closer! read more
Food - The food was all amazing! For starters we ordered the Arancini and meat pie. For mains we got the pulled beef, and steak. Both were great with large portions. For drinks we got a pitcher of the sangria and I don't recall the flavor but it was very boozy. lol we could barely get through the pitcher. Service - The entire staff, host, server and manager were all very friendly and attentive. Our server made great recommendations food wise and for night life as we were from out of town. Ambiance - Nice decor and table setup. Good amount of space and tables. I liked the styling of the restaurant a lot. They also had blankets for the colder denizens of our table. Highly recommend stopping by Otto's High Dive. I know I'll be back next time we're in Orlando. read more
Otto's is such an awesome place! The drinks are incredible and food even better. It's a cute and small place in a popular area. Our waiter was super attentive and friendly. We started with the tartar which is UNREAL! Seriously the best I've had. Then we ordered the ribeye and thoroughly enjoyed it. The sauce on top along with the chimichurri was so good. We then ended with a flan espresso martinis which was the perfect sweet treat to end the night. The only thing that takes away from the evening is the parking situation. It is super hectic and you are lucky to find a spot in the lot! It took us 10 minutes to snag street parking then walk over. Other than that will be back to try more (will probably just uber)! read more

Just went to Otto's High Dive for the first time for brunch with friends and it was such an awesome experience. Parking is definitely a situation, but we went close to when they opened and were able to find spot. We got the crab cocktail which should not be missed, it's fun it's served with plantain chips. It's cuban twist on some classics that I thought were just super creative and fun. We also got the Waygu Tartare, Pescado Frito, Arroz con Pollo which were good but my husband got the Primo Sandwich was the best thing along with the crab salad. Service was great, Leslie took wonderful care of us and made great recs. The vibes were good, balance of people and music and chatter. Also if you're looking for a nice dessert closing drink, don't skip the "Flancocho", the flan custard foam topping was a dream. read more
I love finding a place that makes me want to come back for more! Unique cocktails, a very kitschy Havana vibe with all the rum drink options and decor and the flavors and preparations of food were excellent. I'd choose a different cracker for the crab dip though, it was just too carby for me. Enjoyed the cucumber slices as an option for the dip! The tobacco bitters drink was unique and I enjoyed the candied orange it came with. The Vaca was flavorful! I would have liked even more of the green sauce! Get the flan! You won't regret it! Actually more dense and ganache than bouncy and jello like. Creamy and delicious! The portions were perfect. I also got the guava gin drink but, it wasn't my favorite. The guava wasn't very forward but, something about the drink wasn't balanced and no specific flavor stood out. I will be back! read more

This was so so yummy! One of the best Tartares I've had in a long time. We came during happy hour which seemed like pretty good deals but we stuck to the normal menu. It started getting busier after we sat so maybe make a reservation just to be safe. The inside was super fun and a vibe , definitely want to come back on a weekend and at a later time to check it out! The food and drinks were so delicious! If you like mezcal definitely try the elote bebe- it wasn't super sweet and you can taste the mezcal! As far as parking goes, it shares a parking lot with sideward brewing and stasios so it's going to be very busy and it's a small lot. I would maybe recommend taking an uber bc we drove around for a while looking for a spot. There is street parking on the next street over but that was also super packed. Overall fabulous meal and atmosphere and will be going back! read more
Went on a Wednesday to celebrate a life event. Got there early but they seated us right away. Our server came over right away and got our drink order. Two very good old fashions. Started with the fish dip and some oysters. Fish dip is actually a pretty bigger portion. Almost as big as the flavors. Very good and they brought some extra bread wedges as we needed them. The oysters were very good. Baked in a chile lime butter sauce. We had the skirt steak (another big portion) and it was very flavorful. Just the right amount of char complimenting the preparation. Black beans, rice and tostones finished off the presentation. The Mariscado was delicious. Plenty of mussels. clams and shrimp. The fish portion was also just about right. I will say the chorizo gets kinda lost in the dish. Good once I discovered the bits in the bottom but really not adding much to the dish. The broth was very good and I took the leftovers home. We finished off the night with an attempt to eat the Toasted Coconut Rum Cake. They had a nice flambe presentation and we couldn't finish it. It was very good the next day as well. Staff was attentive from the server to the expeditor. All made sure we had a memorable experience. read more
Came here for a girls night dinner a couple months ago and forgot to write a review so here it is. Ambiance is a 10/10 and so is the service. The food was quite tasty as well. We wanted to try their espresso martinis and we weren't disappointed. My friend got a regular one while I tried their tiramisu inspired one... wow. Definitely recommend!! read more
OK, it's been too long to write about Ottos, and I've been going for a few years. This update, dated April 2026, summarizes a few thoughts. The ownership group and consistent staff at Otto's High Dive continue to bring a refreshing atmosphere, great customer service, luminous and invigorating cocktails, and a vibe! Now Ottos is a Bar, yes, but they also offer what I would say is above-average food dishes for a dive (Ottos is not a dive, but you get what I mean). In fact, there are times at Ottos that I think the staff is more interested in telling you about the food and what goes into it than in the cocktails they have. (hey, that's ok)! By far my favorite cocktail is the Emerald Dream! If you are reading this in late April 2026, it is sadly no longer available, even if you see it on the menu (which you just might). Go for the drinks and the vibe, but stay for the food and service! Ottos is a great addition to the Milk District. read more

I stopped in for the first time as I've heard great things about Otto's. We didn't have much time so just grabbed a drink outside. We ordered a Mai tai, a mojito and two others I can't remember from the bar cart outside the restaurant. Everything was so yummy- though I would have loved to see some garnish (some mint) for the mojito. The bartender was so nice and got my order in before he closed. I'll have to return earlier to try some food and another specialty cocktail. read more

We came in for their Valentine's Day pre fixe menu and had an incredible experience! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. Service was fantastic! So friendly and attentive! They started us off with a beautiful flute of champagne. I also ordered the chancleta cocktail and it was absolutely delicious with mezcal, watermelon, mint, and salted coconut. My boyfriend loves their ton of bricks cocktail. We had a lovely amuse bouche, which was a classy touch. Our first course was the shrimp bisque. It was so rich and flavorful. Next, was the burrata salad. It was very zesty and the cheese was super creamy. Next, we enjoyed the 6oz filet with patatas bravas and broccoli. This is one of the best steaks I've ever had in a very long time. The meat temperature was perfect. The seasoning was exceptional. The quality was stunning. Everything about this was heaven. To conclude, we enjoyed the rich chocolate cake. It was so rich and sweet in the best way. This was a phenomenal Valentine's Day and we will absolutely be back for another experience! read more
It was our first time at Otto's High Dive as we celebrated our 26th anniversary with our family with some incredible cocktails! What a gorgeous restaurant! Our server was wonderful about explaining the cocktails on the menu. I started off with the delicious Banana Coffee and also really enjoyed the amazing bread service, and the absolutely best Cafe Con Leche. We tried so many beautiful and interesting cocktails that I can't even remember all the names of them unfortunately. We will definitely be back to try brunch and dinner at this hidden gem. read more
A review from an n/a drinker: The coqui mocktail has pandan, granny smith, citrus, coconut, and pineapple. This drink really blew me away on how refreshing, delicious, and wholesome. I do not like to drink so sometimes ordering a mocktail can be disappointing as it could be too sweet and lackluster in flavor. Otto's high dive does an exceptional job on making this drink like a whole experience. You're not just getting a mocktail, you're getting a carefully crafted drink full of flavor that invites you to sit back relax and enjoy a taste bud party. I couldn't say I would go back to any place for a mocktail, but I sure have found it here at Otto's. read more
Otto's is a very unique take on a Cuban restaurant with high-end flare where it matters and keeping things simple where you should. Starting with the smoked fish dip, it was very light and fresh and a good way to wet the palate while we sipped on drinks. Square Grouper was a very fun cocktail both in color and flavor. If you like deep flavors, the Cuba Libre isn't your average cola cocktail and packs a delicious punch. For mains, we went with the classic Ropa Vieja and the roast pork. This is where Otto's shines taking such simple meals and executing them perfectly. Both were so juicy and tender and the rice and beans are not just a side but a memorable addition. The restaurant is very quaint and perfectly on theme without being cheesy. Parking can be a struggle so be sure to arrive with plenty of time before a reservation, which I also highly recommend. Our waitress was very sweet and easily explained some of the more unique cocktail ingredients and their features. She also helped formulate a custom drink for one of my dining partners who was looking for something specific. Otto's comes with high praise from both locals and media and I see why. Everything across the board was very well done and I would return in a heartbeat. read more
We made reservations for Sunday brunch at Otto's High Dive and I'm so glad we did--this place absolutely lived up to the hype. Our group ended up sampling what felt like half the menu, and everything was consistently excellent. The Mojo Pork Sandwich was a standout--packed with flavor and easily big enough to share. The Pan Dolce was just as impressive and the perfect sweet complement to the meal. The drinks were just as memorable. I started with an espresso martini that was perfectly balanced, and we wrapped things up with the Floridita Daiquiri, which was refreshing and done right. Great atmosphere, fantastic food, and a menu that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend grabbing a reservation, especially for brunch! read more

It makes sense why Otto's is recognized as a Bib Gourmand because wow! The food, thr atmosphere and ambience, and the service were all top notch. I could've just stayed there all evening and night ordering food and trying plates because the portions were perfect and the food was SO ridiculously good. A perfect edit between Cuban and Florida food - our lobster croquetas were the star of the show, the tres leches, the bistec con arroz y frijoles were just heavenly. And my husband loved his drink too. We can't wait to come back already! read more

Really enjoyed Otto's! We tried a few of their festive drinks, which were great and looked insta worthy, love they had a specialty holiday menu drinks--i loved their homemade coquito. It was busy, but we got seats at the bar, and the space has a nice vibe to it. We ordered oysters that were very fresh and the crab salad, which was delicious and generously portioned. We'll definitely be back. read more
Last time I came to Otto's I was so impressed by all the food and drinks, I definitely had to come back. My husband and I decided to do a midweek date night and even then the place was packed. We sat at the bar to have a drink while we waited for the table and the bartender was super cool and answered all our drink questions. My husband ordered a Floridita and I got the Todi Bird Cake. My husband really enjoyed his drink and my Todi Bird Cake was spectacular. The flavors were tropical without being overly sweet. Both drinks had good flavoring to them and after one drink you felt a little buzzed but in a good way. For dinner my husband ordered the Ribeye and I ordered the Ropa Vieja. My husband's ribeye was tender and literally melts in your mouth. He ordered congris with his meal but the rice was a little hard so he opted out for regular black beans with white rice, which was a better choice. My ropa vieja was saucy and had quite a bit of meat. It was seasoned well and the black beans with white rice complemented it perfectly. For dessert we ordered some champagne, pistachio coquito, and a guava and cheese pastillito. Champagne was on point and the pistachio coquito was amazing. The pastillito was warm, flakey, and the perfect amount of sweetness. Otto's is definitely a perfect date night spot and the vibes of the restaurant are relaxed and fun. Otto's hands down has some of the best food and drinks in all of Orlando. read more

We decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary at Otto's High Dive on a Friday night, and I'm glad we did! We didn't have reservations, so we put our name down and were told the wait would be about an hour. Luckily, it ended up being closer to 30 minutes, not bad at all! While we waited, we peeked at the menu and decided to go with the Magical Dining menu. We'd been here before with friends for drinks and dessert, but this was our first time actually sitting down for dinner. To start, I got the fish dip and my husband got the ceviche with plantain chips. Both were really good and had us excited for the rest of the meal. For my entrée, I went with the mojo chicken. It had great flavor, but unfortunately it was a little too dry for me, so I probably wouldn't order that one again. My husband definitely won this round with the ropa vieja, it was really good! Of course, we had to make room for dessert. The orange tres leches was delicious and honestly, tres leches is always a good idea in my book. We also tried the maduro bread pudding. It was okay, but a little harder than I expected, so the tres leches was definitely my favorite. The space itself is small, cozy, and super cute, and the service was amazing. Everyone we interacted with was so nice and welcoming. There were a few hits and misses with the food, but overall we had a really nice night and I'd definitely come back. read more
So glad I chose this place for our brunch with the girls! The atmosphere and decor was beautiful and clean. Our server was friendly and gave us awesome recommendations. I wanted some modifications on my drink and entree, and they happily accommodated me! I got the banana coffee without alcohol, not frozen, and added milk/cream. And I subbed the hollandaise sauce with mojo aioli for my benedict. DELICIOUS! They did not skimp on the crab and it was flavored beautifully. The plantain cornbread was subtly sweet and the coddled eggs were super jammy. I had a couple bites of my sister's lechon asado, and it was the best dish we had there! The prices are a little steep in my opinion, but at least the food is actually worthwhile. I would definitely come back here! read more
