We come to Miami from Maine every year for a trade show and this was our second time in this lovely restaurant. We were early for our reservation and we were received with such a pleasant smile that made us feel even more welcomed! The food is excellent, fresh and so tasty. The waitress was very nice and gave us her option on the food and beer so we followed her instructions and had a wonderful evening! We look forward next year to come back!!! Thank you for a great night! Orminia Santana

I love this place. But a little bit disappointed that i can’t never get a table downstairs. I’ve dinner at this place a quite few times and they never give me a table downstairs even when I asked. I’m not sure it you need a special connection for that.
