    We had a great dinner. Shared the whole organic chicken with salad and fries. It was great. Service is always A+. I think from the welcome to the check, it is the best service in South Beach. I’ve tried the fish, lamb and steak on menu. All excellent. We sat inside. Not hot, but doors open and not very much AC. Also, it is very loud inside- noise from other tables. I think sitting outdoors is better.
