Took my mom here during happy hour. Was my first time visiting. The decor and atmosphere are really beautiful. Great service and every dish and drink we had was amazing and carefully crafted, it was overall a great experience and I highly recommend dining here.

We came in during happy hour to celebrate my birthday and overall were happy with our experience. The restaurant itself is really pretty inside and has lots of seating inside as well as some seating outside. The Carribean Sticky Wings are amazing and were easily the best part of the meal. Food is pretty good, but things are on the pricey side and does not always feel worth the price depending on what you order. Happy Hour drinks were good and fair priced, but I don’t know if I would pay full price for them. Service was okay, not the best or the worst I’ve experienced. Would come back for the sticky wings and happy hour for sure!

If the website says they have no reservations – please call them to check! You want to experience this restaurant. The server was very fun & kind and the food was spectacular. They do an excellent job of making every item delivered to the table an experience. Order the caipirinha! They make a delightful one.

The food was nothing special and the portions were small for the price. The atmosphere is intriguing but it was so cold my partner and I had to grab jackets from the car. I love the murals and what they are trying to do, but the food needs to be priority.

Food was amazing!! Waitress was very sweet. Loved the outdoor seating. A little loud due to traffic but nice. We’re in town from out of state and decided to check it out. Cuban was very good as well as the margaritas. Would definitely come back if in Kalamazoo again.

We both loved our dinner and the drinks are top notch! Three bars in the restaurant. Great vibe! Island Hot Chicken Sandwich and Tampa Cuban Sandwich with roasted beets and carrots ❤️ Every drink made at the bar looked fantastic!

Highly recommend reservations for this location! The staff and atmosphere were great! They offer up stairs and down stairs dining. We were seated up stairs and it was perfect! Our reservations were at 7:15 on a Saturday and being upstairs it was much quieter even with two large groups joining after we arrived. The staff was nice enough to move us to a different table before the large parties arrived to ensure we could enjoy our dinner without having to yell at each other with the likelihood they would get loud. We really respected and appreciated this as most places would have just kept packing people in for the money. We had the 3 bar staff upstairs all taking care of us and they were all very tentative and polite! We were quite impressed with the amount of fake plants and they were actually clean – most restaurant decor similar to the plants are always very dirty. The food and drinks were awesome! The price was pretty on point for the type and style of restaurant! Two of our drinks were about $15 each but they were also huge so very worth it. We enjoyed the CROQUETAS DE JAMON and CUBAN SANDWICH for dinner along with the PAINKILLER, PUKA PUNCH, and the BLACK MANHATTAN for beverages! Definitely a new date night favorite!

We had a great night out with delicious food and cocktails. The staff is so friendly and we even got to chat with the chef. The Ahi Tuna was amazing and this appetizer was fire! Highly recommend stopping in for cool atmosphere and good food.

Delicious food and nice atmosphere. Lomo saltado for dinner, JungleBird cocktail, churros and chocolate empanadas with coffee for dessert! I recommend some Spaulding coffee liqueur for the coffee otherwise it’s a little bland, diner-like coffee. Waitress was attentive. We hit the sweet spot between brunch and dinner at 4pm on Saturday. No wait for walk-ins at that time.
