Good service, food was fresh, not too expensive for being seafood. I really liked the ceviche. Would definitely eat there again.

The place is small and I liked that I could see the person preparing my food. The waiter was a man, but I didn't get his name. He was courteous and kind. His recommendation was spot-on, too. I am not a seafood fan, but I devoured my meal. It was great!
