The food was amazing! We all loved the flan for dessert, it was divine and the portion was generous. We can't wait to come back soon. Plenty of gluten-free options for those with dietary restrictions, and they were all delicious!

The food at this restaurant is fantastic! There are plenty of gluten-free options that are all delicious. The music was a little too loud, which may be suitable for busy weekends but made it difficult to have a conversation on a Tuesday. The waitress was extremely helpful. This restaurant is very accommodating for those with celiac disease.

The restaurant offers incredible vegan and vegetarian options along with delicious cocktails. We particularly enjoyed the coffee/lime/rum shot and the outstanding service. I highly recommend sitting at the bar outside or near the open window. Don't forget to try the vegetarian options - you can substitute tofu for many of the meat choices to make them vegan or vegetarian.

I was visiting Cincinnati a while ago and I came to this place... All I can say is 100% worthy. I'm Venezuelan and I wanted to try something from my country and this place surprised me in a very good way. The food has its own vibe, it's not as any Venezuelan restaurant you can try, this is a palace where they put their magic in it and give an extra flavor to the food that adds something unique. If you're looking for authentic Venezuelan food, maybe this is not the place but trust me you will be having a very tasty food.I had: Tequeños 10/10, cachapas 10/10, shot of rum with ground coffee (diplomático or 1796, I don't remember but it was premium) 10/10, Arepas 10/0Thank you guys! I'll definitely will come back when I visit Cincinnati again m!

Didn’t eat. Left because we waited 20 mins to be sat at a table that was vacant for those 20 minutes. After being seated, we waited another 25 minutes for then the hostess to take our drink order because the server was too busy with another table. We didn’t even order and politely asked to pay for our drinks and left.Service: 1/5
