We went to the restaurant and we found a very helpful waiter Umberto. The food is fantastic, the chili pepper sauce and the guacamole are amazing too. I recommend!!!

The fish was some of the freshest and best prepared we have had. The prices are much more reasonable than you will find on 5th Av. The owners also own a fresh fish market on Calle 34 and 35th Ave.
