Mariel - Boston

Loved the experience there. Beautiful decor. Prompt service. Best part they have good vegetarian options and you can also make it vegan on request. Recommend a reservation before going in. Perfect place for gathering with friends/families and even dates. Sophisticated and a happy vibe. Dress-well to get some nice pictures. Would recommend the Avocado Con Mojo and it’s very filling. My husband recommends the Oysters. He was very happy with the preparation and said it was unique and very nicely cooked. Overall food was good with perfect portion sizes. Would go back again soon.Vegetarian options: You do have decent vegetarian options. You can also make it vegan on request. My request was very well taken care of.

This is a gorgeous restaurant with great ambiance and a really nice bar. It is a little pricey and you need to make a reservation if you don't want to wait around. The mojitos are delicious! You can order an assortment of appetizers and create your own tapas.

If you want to celebrate an occasion, this is the place to go for a nice, fancy dinner with your loved ones.The menu is tapas style, so everything is family style which is great so you can taste multiple things on the menu. The yuca cheese puff was delicious, soft, fluffy on the inside but crunchy on the outside. We liked them so much we got a second order. The sofrito hummus was an interesting twist and the veggies that topped it were great. The calamari was cooked to perfection, and the guava sauce that accompanied it was the perfect balance of citrus to add to the calamari. The pork empanadas were packed with flavor! The gnocci was presented and cooked differently where they were grilled and tooped with a pesto-like saice which gave it a different depth of flavor than your typical gnocchi.

Held my friend's birthday dinner here and I don't think I could've chose a better spot! We all had a great time! The food was good, the atmosphere was amazing, and the drinks were strong. The staff were also very accommodating and attentive. I will definitely be back in the future.Only negative experience I had that night was with a bouncer at the end. We were exiting the restaurant and decided to take a few pictures of the birthday girl. We were trying to take some pictures in front of the club's entrance (no one was entering yet) and the bouncer very rudely said no. I guess he thought we were trying to pull a fast one and sneak in but that wasn't the case at all.

The place is beautiful and the server was really good, the food on the other side is not good. Out of the mix appetizers we got only one was ok. The arepas with crab meat were not cooked, the guacamole had no salt or lime.
