The good: Presentation of dishes is great and the restaurant is well-situated within Long Island City. The space is great for large groups with a few long tables for bigger parties.

The grilled corn causa was the best dish in our opinion—only one we’d get again if we came back.

The cheesecake and plantains were also pretty good, but not so much that we’d try again.

The bad: like other reviews mentioned, the service is lacking. Hard to get anyone’s attention. When we ordered dessert, someone came and cleared our table before placing the cheesecake down. They then left without leaving any utensils. Can’t exaggerate that ten minutes went by before we were able to get the front host to grab spoons for us.

As far as food, the Lomo Saltado with Mushroom smelled like it was doused in soy sauce—an expensive dish that was mostly French fries and onions in sauce.

The Burrata was fairly bland. It looks like a good dish, but not worth ordering. Veggie empanadas also a pass—didn’t taste like much.
Worth the trip to see a rare collection of historical, modern, and race-winning Porsches.
