Guests rave about the "amazing food," "outstanding service," and "beautiful atmosphere." The vibrant decor reminiscent of "South of France or Tuscany" enhances the overall dining experience. The Miami Spice menu is a highlight, offering generous portions and "great value." While there might be occasional service hiccups, the "consistently excellent" food and ambiance make it a must-visit destination.

Service has improved as well. Some of their dishes are over priced (i.e Branzino - which is simply a filet with nothing else. You can get whole sale baked Branzino with vegetables and potatoes at many restaurants), but the food is good.

Likely just a busy week before the holidays. After the few mishaps, the attentive manager/sommelier Adam, was quick to notice we were unhappy. He was polite and understanding and quickly resolved the situation. He went over the top with his kindness and we are deeply appreciative of his hospitality and taking the time to turn the evening around in a positive way. The food and drinks, as always, were excellent. We will definitely return and grateful we had a nice meal.

We have had much better experiences at this restaurant in the past.
