    Best lunch I’ve literally ever had in miami. Jane the hostess seated us as quickly as she could despite quite a wait and did so with the warmest smile. William the manager was so lovely and highly attentive making sure we were taken care of. And of course, the cake goes to Alberto who is really one of the most special people I have ever met. A warm charisma unlike any other! I will never forget his vibrant spirit that made what would have been just a typical weekend lunch into a core memory with my family forever. It really was a special day, the food was great the weather cooperated, the view captivating, but the staff was what really made it exceptional.

    Outstanding culinary experience. Eclectic, “whole-in-the-wall” with Michelin Star, top notch-food. Watching your meal made with front row view and served by both Chef Evan and Osmel adds to the dining delight. Great “pop-up” ambiance and entire staff is in on making your meal highly enjoyable! If you’re in Miami area definitely worth the drive or Uber ride!

    Amanda, our server, has a gift for making you feel special even when she’s balancing ten tables. Natalia at the front desk also deftly juggles groups waiting as well as anyone I’ve ever seen. Both are keepers!
