    Lovely place, fantastic food and exceptional staff. Do I want to pay $22 for a glass of Sancerre, no but it was my choice. Overall, it was a great experience and would gladly visit again.

    Loved the service and the food was 10/10. I would have preferred the live music a little bit lower, but everything was great to be honest.

    Left a lot to desire. I had to constantly remind the waiter about our orders. My margarita was TERRIBLE, worst margarita i have ever had, legit didn’t drink it. The bruschetta’s were literally tomato on a crispy thin bread… The bolognese and spicy rigatoni were also not very good. They brought us dessert (ice cream) and forgot the spoons and by the time we reminded them and they brought it over, it was basically melted. The restaurant was beautiful but places should focus on food and service just as much as the aesthetic as that is what keeps customers coming back

    We went for brunch on a Saturday and loved our experience. The drinks were great the food was amazing, and the service was on point. Beautiful space next to the water with great views.

    Pretty atmosphere. Service was Miami average but well below what you would expect for a $$$ restaurant. Dishes were nothing special. They were out of several items. Complimentary bread was not fresh. Was celebrating a birthday and they made no attempt to make it special at all. Will not be returning. Too many other great options in Miami.

    The food was delicious and of great quality for the price. Our server, Alan, was very friendly. The ambiance was relaxing, and the view of the boats made it an amazing experience. I will definitely come back again.
