Luxury on Ocean Drive. The last dinner of a week's fine dining in Florida was a highlight. The tastiest mussels I've ever had and perfectly tender Octopus were our starters, and the Twin Maine Lobster main course was two whole succulent lobsters for $65, ridiculously cheap. The warm summer terrace seats on Ocean Drive let us watch the South Beach fashionistas saunter past ...really quite a night.

The food was spectacular! We tried various appetizers, and each one was better than the last. We also ordered the macadamia crusty snapper with spinach risotto, which was absolutely amazing. We would definitely come back again because the food was incredible. The service wasn’t as great as the food was, but the flavors and quality of the food made up for it.

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 The main light lobster tails were cooked perfectly and served with withdrawn butter, which is just the way I like it.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!
