A must see and eat when visiting Miami. We come through everytime we visit MIA. Food and fish are fresh and tasty with an original presentation of the fried whole fish. You gotta see it and eat it. We also got the branding which was so tasty and light. Lychee martini and their take on the spicy margarita was top notch. I can’t say anything bad about this place and our experience. I tell everyone to come here when they are in town.

I truly enjoy that there is no time limit for how long we can stay in the daybeds. The drink minimum rule is a little outdated, and that’s my only gripe. Gabriel was amazing, loved chitchatting with him and he let us enjoy your time

Good food, drinks and amazing staff but didn’t care for the music. The mimosas that are supposed to be unlimited were refilled very slow and weak in my opinion compared to the last time I came. Otherwise we had a good time.
