    Gave me my correct bill of $109 then took my card and swiped it on their portable machine. As the server bolted away I got a notification from my credit card that they charged $308. The manager fixed it right away, but the way the server moved so quickly through the screens on the payment system and ran away so quickly after I signed leaves me suspicious.

    Food was excellent. Extremely loud music making it difficult to have conversation. Seemed a bit short on servers. Took a fair amount of time to get drinks / water. Make sure to ask about prices on drinks. Ended up paying $41 for a margarita because I asked for a Grand Marnier floater which I’m convinced was not in the drink (at least not as a floater). I asked the waiter and he insisted it was in there. Live and learn. It’s our first night in Miami. Definitely worth going for the good.
