    Food was excellent- dropped one star for cold fries. But they were replaced quickly with fresh ones. Great location, good service. Reasonable price (for Miami!)

    Wine bottle took too long to arrive at the table. Dinner order was very late, and arrived lukewarm. Not great.

    This place is like if everything was for free. Super packed of people and not many servers, therefore very poor service at the table: no one served us water more than once… the food took like 40 minutes to get to the table because I also think the kitchen didn’t have enough personnel for all the people at the restaurant… like at 8pm they turned most of lights off, setting like a romantic ambiance but we couldn’t see much but with some lamps at the table… the noise of people talking was similar to the crowd of a concert, the food wasn’t amazing: it was just fine.

    The food was ok. Not great. Our waiter although very good and sweet - was a bit too busy and at times lagged behind… I don’t want to blame him. I blame the establishment. It’s a decent place to catch some spectacular views but the food is just ok. Go there once for sure… but stay away after that. 😎

    My favorite restaurant that I go to when I come to Miami. It’s been a couple years. I was disappointed to notice that this first class restaurant is badly out dated. The tables, chairs and booths badly need to be updated and upscaled.
