Food was amazing! service was seriously the best I’ve had in any resteraunt from Kate, who recommended the corn and flatbread and it was my favourite dish on the menu. I’m sorry I didn’t get the other servers name we had (tall blonde) but the service from them both was above and beyond. Drinks, food, atmosphere, everything. Will definitely be returning! ”

The drink menu looks great, hoping they add a few more cocktails from the countries. The staff is very friendly and would help with suggestions for drinks and food if you have an challenge selecting. The over food experience was okay, the ambiance of the place was great as well. ”
“ Came here for drinks on the weekend before Halloween. They had really good drink specials for Halloween. Adam was our waiter and he was really good. It was our anniversary and he went above and beyond to make are stay fun. ”
“ Food was excellent! Made the mistake of coming here when I couldn't eat meat so we ordered the meatless dishes and everything we ate was delicious! The cheese empanada is a must! Service was amazing! Will definitely be back when we can try everything. ”
“ Awesome spot. We couldn’t quite peg if we felt more Hawaiian or Caribbean, but it’s a delight to find either in Canada. More vintage Cuban speakeasy than tiki bar. The drinks were creative and delicious, food wise we just had the popcorn. Bartender and server were fantastic! Small inside but wonderful open air patio. ”
“ Hidden gem. Great cocktails. Bartender Sam is the best. Over the top Christmas decorations, will make you feel festive in a jiffy. They also have an advent with promotions changing daily. Go check it out! ”
“ We went to Ricardo's for drinks before dinner, but wish we would have stayed for the food too, because it looks great. The drinks were amazing. Well balanced and unique. Sam the bar manager is very skilled and fun to talk to about drinks and the craft. Allie is a very good waitress and gave top notch recommendations. We are looking forward to visiting again in the future. ”
“ So much fun! Stopped by for the first time during their Halloween pop up and the vibes were on point. We didn’t try any food but the Halloween drinks were so fun. My only recommendation is to book a reservation! The space is smaller so be prepared for that. ”
