Definitely give it a try.\n\nWe chanced in at 1 in the morning, and were very pleasantly surprised. We ordered the avocado and roasted red pepper salad, which was served with crisp plantain chips and was delicious, and the cook sent us some complimentary mushroom dip (it had hints of thyme and wasabi, yum!) also served with plantains, very surprising and fresh flavor, we loved it. \n\nMy BF ordered the Paella Valenciana, which was bursting with flavor from the seafood juices and the rice was cooked perfectly (and it was the right type of rice for paella). This is one of the few times I've had paella out and it actually tasted like paella. \n\nI had the island burger, which is made with 3/4 beef and 1/4 pork, marinated and cooked to perfection, and topped with ripe avocados, home-made spicy ketchup, and onion straws. Words can not describe the richness and complexity of flavor. The well-seasoned sweet potato fries that came with it were a nice touch as well. I'm not big on burgers, and under normal circumstances I would have regretted not ordering the paella, but these two very different dishes were so well executed that it was impossible to pick a favorite. \n\nIn a shameful display of gluttony, we couldn't resist finishing off the meal with a their home-made rum cake, which was much lighter and more delicate that I anticipated, sort of like a small bundt with creme anglaise and a hint of rum, delicious. We will have to come back to try their home-made coconut cream pie. \n\nAccording to our server, they hand-make everything, including the mixers for their drinks, so we will have to make it a point to come back and give those a try as well."^^ .
