Either way, it tasted yummy.

The decor is lovely, with plenty of room between tables. My waiter, Philipe B., couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming. I had a spinach and cheese wrap and a detox juice, both delish. I wish I lived nearby because I'd be a regular. As it is, I will stop whenever I am driving by. Highly recommend.

However my meal was served way before the rest of the table and it was cold. I sent it back and was told it wasn't cold. I argued the point not to mention it wasn't what I had ordered. I asked for it to redone so that it was hot and served with the rest of my table. They took it back replaced the part that was incorrect but heated my original cold eggs and reserved it. Poor form. It was one egg and a pancake. The rest of the food was fine but we won't be back. Cold food and arrogant chef.... If someone asks for the food to be hot and served together with their table it shouldn't be an argument it should be done that way to start with. The place it self is fine as far as decor.

The interior and exterior are so cool, and it all looks like real stone with medieval style decor with some modern touches. The ambiance is on point, and since it was night time in October, we didn't even experience the cool waterside patio. Anyway, all the food and drinks were excellent (I'm always down for a margarita flight with friends), and our host and server was incredibly kind, helpful, and diligent. Business was slow that night (a Tuesday), maybe because who is expecting something so cool in so strange a location? I really want more people to go here and support this great place. We'll be talking about it for a long time.

3/5 Stars Great…read morefood, but the service has really fallen off. I've been a longtime customer, and I want to start by saying the food here is consistently delicious. Easily 4+ stars in that department. The owner has always provided excellent service, and that's a big part of why I've continued coming back over the years. Unfortunately, the service lately has been disappointing. The young lady working the counter seems more interested in FaceTiming with her friends than attending to customers. She's frequently on her phone, barely paying attention while taking orders, and even pauses interactions with customers to address whoever she's talking to. As a longtime customer, it's frustrating to see a business with such good food and an owner who clearly cares about customer service being let down by something so easily corrected. The food deserves better than the service it's currently receiving. I'd rate the food over 4 stars, but the recent service is closer to 2. That's why I'm giving 3 stars overall. I genuinely hope the owner addresses this because I'd much rather leave a 5-star review for a place I've enjoyed for years.

I am not blaming the restaurant because the world post-covid has gone absolutely insane from an inflation standpoint. With beef as their 'go to' and chicken no longer being a 'loss leader's (now costing what steak did two years ago, it's not the restaurant's fault. However, I nearly fell out of my chair when I learned the All You Can eat lunch price was nearly $50! For this type of 'cafeteria', a total shocker. The other (better) option is the pay per pound. $17 for salad bar and meat and $20 for just meat. I did the salad bar ... you'd be surprised how much two plantains and a slice of tomato weigh! Salad bar: The rice was very good. The plantains were perfect. The French fries were surprisingly good. They had all kinds of fresh vegetables, mayonaise-covered salads and a huge variety of items. I suppose it would be worth it to get this alone ... however this is where the heavy items that add weight to the price are. Meat station: The guy serving was nice enough but spoke maybe two words of English. I speak English, Spanish and French but no Portuguese ... so we had a difficult time when it came to relating how big a slice I wanted, or how many pieces. My guess is that he is hired more for his expertise running the grill than for serving. And he did a great job as the meat was cooked perfectly. Bacon wrapped chicken ... The only disappointment of the meal. The chicken (and bacon) was dry. It really didn't taste like bacon and the only reason I finished my piece was because I had paid for it. Flank steak ... So good! The outside had a nice char with a salty, almost crunchy texture while the inside was juicy and flavorful. This was my favourite item and I actually went back to get a second plate, despite how filling it is. Garlic steak ... Incredibly salty. A little goes a long way. I didn't get any garlic taste ... it was mostly just salt. I liked it but would choose the flank steak (which is also salty) over this as the marinade made it a little drier. Pork sausage ... Very nice. I didn't notice a huge difference between the spicy and non-spicy but it was cooked really well and it was flavorful. Pineapple ... Okay, this is a must get! This was oddly my favorite part of the meal. I have never had pineapple this good. It is done on the grill with the entire pineapple and they slice pieces off. It is covered in a brown butter sauce that is so flavourful, it is certainly one of the best pineapple dishes I've ever eaten. Because there was a line and the pieces of paper with the meat choices are mostly in Portuguese, I didn't get to try all I'd have liked to ask ordering felt rushed with the line waiting behind me. The all-you-can eat will likely give you the opportunity to try a little of everything. Overall, the better value seems doing the pay by weight and going back for seconds if you are hungry. My first plate was some salad bar stuff (tomato slice, cucumber, plantains, yellow rice and a few french fries) plus a strip of flank steak, bacon wrapped chicken and a pork sausage. That was $17 and I could have stopped there. My second plate was two strips of flank steak, a strip of garlic steak, a piece of pineapple and two plantains from the salad bar. This one was $12. My total with a $2.25 lemon aid (terrible and flavorless from a jug) and a tip was around $35. Expensive for lunch ... but I probably didn't need as much steak on round 2 as I left feeling stuffed. Everything was tasty and while the atmosphere feels more like a cafeteria in a Caribbean country ... and the seating arrangement makes you snake through tables to get to the salad bar or meat station, everything seemed spotlessly clean. I will certainly return again, despite a fairly high lunch price. If there is one tip I can give you ... don't skip the pineapple from the meat station.

The place is huge, on point cultural music (albeit loud- I'm old I like quieter) and the queer o meter is a perfect 10. Most excellent. The complimentary chips n salad were delicious. Thin, warm and lightly salted with just enough heat to the salsa and nice flavor. The rest is pretty straightforward- a chicken quesadilla that was jammed with cheese. It oozed out of the sides. And a steak fajita - both were very very good. The fajita had a great flavor, hot and piled high with peppers and onions. The steak slices were tender and delicious too - I will put out there that might be the only "con" it, in my opinion, could've done with 3 or 4 more slices of steak. However there is an epic amount of the peppers and onion which I 100% appreciate. Our waitress was so friendly and top notch. Accommodating and available without hovering. Food was delicious, service wonderful and atmosphere comfortable (sans loud music ha ha) The prices seem to be higher than other Mexican places - ie. The fajita was $21 and usually I'd venture to say that's the shrimp or combo cost, not steak or chicken. So overall they are about $3 higher. In the end I was fine with that bc it's really good and I would go back! Thank you El Patron Corona!! Cheers!
