Description
The kitchen turns out fresh, made-to-order fish, conch, and sweet plantains, alongside Sunday brunch specials known for generous portions. Daily, the dining room transitions into a late-night lounge fueled by DJ sets. While the space is a comfortable size for dancing, the music gets loud enough to limit casual conversation, making it a better fit for high-energy socializing than quiet catch-ups. Attentive staff keep tables stocked with drinks like mojitos and fresh strawberry lemonade.
