Amazing people, great Latino club …fun to be there on weekends
Didn't went there to dine. It was all about the music and dance for me. All I can say Latin community knows how to enjoy themselves. I didn't know any fancy moves but I had a blast! The dance floors were crowded so if you get there before 11 you will avoid the line up. Also once you find a tile/spot on the dance floor you better hold on it !!
If you ever feel like Latin dancing this is the place to experience. Always so fun. A good mix of music from classics to modern. Time flies by when you're here dancing the night away.
I had a good time everytime. The only suggestion is to limit the number of people on dance floors because it's a small space. Hope to be back.
Great restaurant that turns into a Latin Dance Club. They have instructors that teach some dance moves beforehand so if you don’t know how, then you get the chance to learn a few steps before the dancing starts. On Thursdays they have all three dance floors open. The first room is Kizomba, the second is Salsa and Downstairs it’s Bachata. Very Authentic place. People are polite and there is a good amount of good dancers to dance with. Definitely a place to go to if you want to have some fun along with authentic latin dancing
Great place for a Latin night out, good music and amazing drinks :D
I had a wonderful experience here. Went with a group of friends for a celebration. If you go before 11, there is like no line. It does fill up quick. I haven’t visited for dinner, we went for the nightlife. There are 2 large dance floors. Drinks are good price and service was great. They offer bottle service as well. There is a cover charge of 20 which is usual for Saturday night. Its modern and trendy on the main floor. Highly recommend for latin music.
So much fun and food was good(I ordered the fish fillet- portion size was filling. I found it economical to pay for the full course deal which included appetizer, main course and dessert with a ticket to the dance rooms plus lessons after dining hours.
