   This is the best seafood restaurant in the south beach Miami deco district. We’ve been here several times prior to cruises, and the food and service is consistently excellent. Last night my wife and I both had rhe Shrimp Scampi Provincale. We both thought rhis dish was the best we ever had! We also enjoyed a side of tasty mashed potatoes with leeks. The key lime pie with pecan crust lived up to its award winning reputation. We ate outside which gave it a festive atmosphere.Their talented singer/ guitarist did a combination of oldies and Latin songs that added to our pleasure. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. All in all a top notch experience. We highly recommend!!

   Excellent food. Service was outstanding (both hostess and server were absolutely wonderful.. extremely knowledgeable, attentive but not invasive…) with manager visiting table twice. All very friendly and welcoming. Had the grilled octopus 9/10, mussels (10/10) and the crusted snapper 9/10….. oh and the key lime pie 9/10. Music was great. Very talented! Sat on the terrace. IMO the best seats in the house! By far.

   What a wonderful evening celebrating my wife’s birthday. Our waitress was excellent I wish I could remember her name. She made sure everything was including making sure the guitarist came to our table to serenade my wife with the remaining wait staff. Last but not least, the food was perfect. We will definitely dine here again during our next visit.

   Never acknowledged my wife’s Bday!! I mentioned when I made the reservation and when we arrived at the restaurant. The server tried to rush us through our meal. Too expensive to be treated like that!!!!! Would probably not go back

   Food was terrific! Great setting, right in the heart of Ocean Drive. Wait staff was amazing and live music was terrific! Halibut and red snapper were not to be missed, with Key lime pie to finish!

   Went to celebrate my mom’s birthday. My birthday note with a cake request was ignored. Not fun.
