Great staple restaurant in Ocean dr. Good food decently priced. My only issue is their happy hour pricing is only good if you're sitting at the bar. If you're looking for a good happy hour, I would try a couple of the places down the street and then finish with a fantastic dinner here

We sat on the terrace with a great view of ocean Drive. The ambience was awesome with low lighting and room between the tables. Service was outstanding and the seafood was amazing! I highly recommend the tuna Tatar appetizer and the escargot appetizer. The main light lobster tails were cooked perfectly and served with withdrawn butter, which is just the way I like it. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant at reasonable prices for South Beach!
