Came for happy hour and I must say...it wasnt so happy. The atmosphere is great. Really cool. But it pretty much ends there. Service was very poor. We first wanted to sit in the cozy seats at the bar but after 10 minutes we still had yet to be visited by the bartender or waitress. Why have the cozy chairs in the bar if you arent going to serve them. We moved to the bar and were immediately greeted by the bartender. Thats great. Orders drinks and they didnt have one beer that was listed so my husband switched beer choices and I ordered the roja sangria. The sangria was overly sweet. Tasted like cranberry juice. My husband liked his beer. We ordered the chicken antichucho and the cheese and chicken empanadas. Was going to order the guamcomole but shocker they didnt have that either. Or we could order the dinner menu guac for $9. Ugh very annoying.The food was very good. Maybe a tad too salty but that would just be me being picky. Overall, food is decent but bar needs some work

Our experience was truly awesome! We found this restaurant online and decide to make a reservation for us and friends. The decor, atmosphere, staff was superb. Kate and Cheech were friendly, and truly happy to make our first experience a night to remember. We a party of four decided on the tasting menu chefs choice for $45 a person and what an experience! Bring an appetite! The bread was not typical , was authentic South American and the spiced butter was the perfect blend of sweet and savory. The shrimp were perfection , the marinated chicken was done to perfection and the empanadas were gone fast! And did I mention the crab cake? Delicious! Will definitely be back!! Rebecca N.

I went here last night for my birthday. There is a beautiful view of the ocean where ever you sit and there were even fireworks. The staff was very pleasant and the environment was warm. The food however was meh. The mixed fish fry (with no fish) was skimpy and only tasted ok. The sangria was terrible. The Yuka fries were to thick, under cooked and not served with enough sauce. My husbands sea bass was bland. The portions are too small and the food doesnt taste good enough to be so expensive. There were a few things that were tasty and that was the crab cake, quinoa pumpkin stew, the coconut dessert and the cafe con leche. We probably wont go back.

Truthfully, I was looking forward to trying a new restaurant. However, it was my first and last. Outside of the service which was excellent, the food was a major disappointment. We had a variety of beef/pork/poultry and seafood appetizers and main courses. I was expecting the various types of dishes to be a melt in your mouth experience. Needless to say, everything was chewy, not lean, and overly salty. Honestly, my feet started swelling at the table. Everyone tasted everything, but most of the food was left uneaten. Such a disappointment, and we are all missing Fin a great deal.

After absolutely Loving Jose Garcess Amanda Restaurant we wanted to try Olon. We Absolutely Loved it. Love the Tapase style! Many people dont understand the Tapas style of Small Plates. you can try many different dishes. We Love it! Each dish we tried was better than the last! Not a bad item on the menu. The Staff is very attentive and helpful to explain how Small plates work, for anyone not sure. Both the White and Red Sangria were delicious. So very glad Chef Garces wanted to have another restaurant in Atlantic City. Thank you to Olon for the great food and a lovely evening.

Decided to do a quick getaway and try a new restaurant. So Im staying at the Tropicana so it would be easy to trying them out. I have a very bad latex allergy. I proceed to go downstairs to make a reservation and make sure they are a latex free kitchen... oh boy what a mistake that was. The host could not make heads or tails out of herself. Wow if your host cant answer a Life or death question for me then I cant eat here!! Good luck with that host!

First let me say I am not related to the owner. My wife and I chose this place for our anniversary. The food was incredible and beyond compare. The staff was great, friendly and absolutely the best. Anyone that disagrees is just a snob. We will be back again and again. And we live 3 hours away.

Service was top notch. The food is incredible. The fish fry appetizer was delicious. I had the crabcake with lemon aioli. Yummy and mu husband had the 12 ounce skirt steak. Out of this world. The yucca fries are something you just have to experience. Worth every penny!

Seriously I was about to eat at chickie Petes and then I ended up at Olan and only had the most amazing restaurant experience Ive had in years. My waiter Guillermo was excellent and I look forward to eating there as much as possible for the rest of my life!!!

Dinner last night at this restaurant with my husband. I loved the food, all rich, excellent service, and very friendly staff. We love it, weve been traveling from Bronx to Atlantic City for years, it will definitely be my favorite place now.

Not for everyone. Try lunch first before dinner. Small portions big prices. Very pretty decor you pay for the view. Good food weak drinks. Check menu out online before going to make sure its to.your liking and budget.

Im here right now and saying dont waste your time. It had taken thirty minutes to order drinks, the service is pretty horrible. We even got food from another table, Its a circus of you ask me.

The food and staff where absolutely incredible, I suggest the chef tasting, go out on a limb a little, like a party in your mouth! You wont be disappointed
