This place was really great. Its in the heart of Chinatown. Its busy, its loud and the drinks are great. It gets my highest score for atmosphere. The minute you walk in you can feel the excitement. The music is latin and high energy. The thing I enjoyed the most was the drinks and appetizers. The drinks are made fresh. All the popular drinks are available including several Mojitos, Caipirinha, Margarita, Sake,and Sangria. My favorite drink was the Kimono Kiss (Grey Goose orange / Fuki Sake / kumquats / ginger $11). The food is great and reasonably priced. Got to try this one.

My new favorite neighborhood pizza place. It's laid back and casual.I've had consistently great pizzas and salads here. My kids like the little mac and cheese which is served piping hot, homemade and a little crunchy on top. Pizzas have great crust. Wine selection is good. Really nice on a warm night sitting out on their little patio. I've also had pleasant lunches here with friends.

Review: The atmosphere is great. Its cozy and alive. We sat at the bar area and ordered tapas and drinks. We ordered a variety of tapas and they were all excellent. Plenty of food and well worth the price. The drink menu went along with the spanish theme. We had Sangria. There were many varieties of Sangria. The most popular was the house traditional Sangria, it was delicious. Definitely going back for dinner with friends.
