    Food was good/average. First round of drinks were watered down. The second set improved. Service was odd to say the least. Very Miami and not in the best way. The ambiance, live music and general decor was very cute though. It was potential if the food and drinks stepped it up

    This place was amazing, it felt like a hidden gem in plane sight. I got two words "Spicy Rigatoni". The atmosphere the service the food it's all here! The Drinks the patio the water and boats going past. Me and my lady truly enjoyed ourselves. We kept getting more and more impressed by the moment. Once the check came i would have paid it 3 times over! Our server even suggested something that wasn't on the menu and it was delicious.

    Service was terrible. Had to talk to manager to get some cocktails as no one came to offer drinks or go over the menu. Servers were clearly not happy, food was good and place is nice thou. For the price there are just so many better options in Miami.

    El lugar es muy lindo, la decoración es buena, es recomendable para una ocasión especial cómo cumpleaños, aniversario, o una noche romántica. Pero NUNCA vayan en Valentines Day. La organización y atención fue pésima ese día. Teníamos reserva a las 10 y nos sentamos hasta las 11:30, la comida llegó a las 12 y para esa hora, las opiniones del menú ya no estaban disponibles. La comida llegaba tarde, sabor estaba rico pero llegaba fría. Si lo quieren conocer vayan cualquier otro día.

    1. Worst food I ever had. The appetizers were awful, a really bad salad, THE WORST MASHED POTATOES OF THE WORLD, the only good thing in my order was the pistacchio cake. 2. My reservation was for 9:30, they gave me a seat 10:20, and my food came 11:40 to my table.... The waitress didn't even asked if I wanted to order some drinks, he just brought a bottle of water (which by the way cost 10$) 3. I paid 250$ for 2 Valentine's day dinner and the place was full of people waiting for their table to be ready, the food taking a lot of time to be served, and a big etc of bad things.

    Service was horrible, made a reservation for 9:30pm on valentine and didn’t get served the main course until 12:30 midnight. Little to no attention to detail.

    It was too expensive for us to wait almost 2 hours for food and to me out not even fresh and cold, not having enough space for the food and the waiter just keep bringing food and taken it out of our table when where even finish. Not worth the money.
