| - I'm hoping that my poor experience was a one-off. My boyfriend and I decided on this place based on the numerous good (and great) reviews. However, things did not go as expected.
First impressions were pretty good - it is a cute spot in Baldwin village. It's cozy, unique atmosphere reminded me of some of the restaurants I've been in overseas, and I enjoyed this about it. The staff were also very nice, very willing to be of service, though unorganized it seemed. My boyfriends appetizer was wrong, and his steak was cooked to rare when he'd requested medium.
We each had the Sangrita, which was nice. The appetizers and mains were quite underwhelming, especially after what I'd read. I had the duck, which what little meat was on the bone was mostly too hard to chew. The sauce was a citrus, but far too sweet and unsuited to the side dishes, in my opinion. My boyfriends steak was mostly uneaten - there seemed an imbalance in the marinade used.
Cute little spot, and the staff was friendly and seemed keen on providing a good service. However, our experience was unfortunately not what we'd hoped for.
