They ran out of the seasonal dessert which was recommended to us by the waitress. Then they ran out of coffee beans for a simple coffee. The steak and tortellini was overhyped and didn’t live up to the vivid menu/waitress description. Tasted more like a mushroom sauce rather than the black truffle sauce. The new salmon sushi was pretty good but the rice wasn’t sticky rice and it fell apart. Overall not bad but could be better.

Finally, a steak house closer south for foodies in Miami! Located in a non-descript area, behind a Starbucks, you walk into this restaurant and get transported to one of the fancy places in Wynwood or Coral Gables. The food is fire!!! Steaks are treated with amazing spice and torched with rosemary at your table. The tuna tartar rocked and the dessert what nothing else but a visual and taste experience! Make a reservation and go as soon as you can, before it gets too hard to get in.
