The restaurant is really nice and clean the service is good the food was ok but not worth the price my steak was over cooked and small. My wife had the salmon with fried rice she said it was really good. We had two sangria they where not good. Overall 3 ????.

Absolutely phenomenal food, excellent drinks. Very friendly staff. I was eating off of the new menu, seems some of the previous reviews are on the old restaurant. Highly recommend a retry to everyone. Very good!

I’ve seen this place on Ubereats and DoorDash lately and have tried ordering from them 3-4 times between both apps over the past month or so. Each time they’ve canceled on me. I’d give them 0 stars if I could. I will gladly take my money somewhere else where it is wanted and appreciated.

Looks like put all their money into the decore it's a beautiful restaurant. There were 4 people in this place and that included me and my sister in law. Drinks were overpriced. We waited for our drinks and app for over a half an hour! Again there were only 4 of us needless to say we won't go back.

Perfect place when you really want to feel fancy & dress up or even when feel like going out to eat in a nice place . Their food is absolutely the best & fell in love with the place the first time going , it really outshines any other restaurant i’ve been to. It has such a home feeling coming in through the door and recommend it to everyone ! the owner & all the waitresses are nice, friendly & patient with all the customers. Love it

I ordered over the phone! Was on my way there 10 minutes away! Arrived and waited another 20 minutes for an order of 6 empanadas. A beautiful place but a little pricey for street food. Needs to target the community as the Chinese take outs do. The location is pure poverty guidelines for those kind of prices. Thank you for the food but I’ll take my businesses elsewhere. ???? ???? ????

Over priced and barely edible. Extremely dissatisfied having to chew a piece of medium cooked steak for almost a minute to make it swallowable…. Shrimp over cooked and rubbery. Not sure if the food is prepared for pictures or to be edible? Do better. Drinks were okay. Maybe close kitchen and stick to bar.

Drinks were good, food was great with great portions, a tad pricey so expect to spend some money here but the atmosphere was very intimate. They have a side with tables and seats for dining and a side with a long lounge couch and bar stools for the bar. I'm definitely going back.

It is hard living in the suburbs in the Delco area and being Latina because there's no authentic cuisine. We traveled to northeast Philly to experience Dominican food with gourmet flair.
Chef Jose Luis is classically trained but he had kept his heritage by serving dishes with unique stylings.
There are Italian options with latin flairs like brushchetta or Cordon bleu.
With only being open 5 months, the cuisine did not disappoint. We started out with a Long island and margarita even though they plan on offering typical cocktails served in the Dominican. The drinks were strong and very delicious.
We then had the guacamole with fried banana chips which are my favorite.I have not had them since moving from Texas.
My husband ordered the short ribs and i ordered the churrasco, or grilled flank steak. We had many choices as sides but I went with triple mofongo, a blend of plantain, green plantain and yucca, fried and made into an attractive cake. It was accompanied with a chimichurri and a housemade coconut based sauce.
My husband had the moros which is like a jambalaya style rice. It was a delightfully savory rice pilaf mixed with beans and olives.
We finished off with a typical Dominican orange dessert made with orange rinds and sugar. It was definitely a palate cleanser and amazing.
