And that means dishes like arroz con pollo chicken and rice , pernil marinated roasted pork , churrasco a grilled skirt steak with black bean rice and other Latin specialties.

We witnessed birthday celebrations complete with sparkling candles and tables topped with colorful mojitos. Each entree is artistically presented, often with a colorful flower, adding to that tropical feeling.

Plus, at the end of the night, everyone gets a shot of coquito, a coconut-based alcoholic beverage often referred to as Puerto Rican eggnog. Seafood is a major part of the menu. There are gorgeous, oversized seafood towers and paella loaded with lobster, shrimp, clams, mussels, calamari, octopus, chicken, chorizo and saffron rice.

Marion Gaglione of Congers, who was one of diners who had "Dinner with Jeanne," proclaimed the paella a winner, though she was also enamored of the guacamole. She also, for the record, said she's never been a white wine sangria fan but after tasting Don Coqui's on the Hudson, is now a convert.

Tomkins Cove resident Charles Martinelli, a retired New York City schoolteacher who often travels for new food finds, also liked his meal, though he found the restaurant a bit loud and would have preferred that the dining room and bar area were separated.

Paella: One of the restaurant's biggest sellers and it's easy to see why. A huge and we mean huge! Most "Dinner with Jeanne" diners took half home. I preferred the lighter white, which was more citrus, but the classic red is also good. Sexy Island: Mangan said this drink, in a regular or ounce size is one of its most popular and is definitely a conversation piece.

I had fun sharing it among our guests, many of whom were strangers at the start of the night but friends at the end. The Threesome: This mojito, in a rainbow of colors and flavors is so Instagram-worthy, you have to order it. It's three cocktails put together and was a winner at our table.
