    Chicken and pork were completely overcooked. Prices are ridiculously bad. We had two starters, three mains and 7 drinks in total. $413 without tips. Service and setting was the only decent part of the meal If you want your eyes gouged out for less than mediocre food, go here

    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.
