It is not only a restaurant, it provides you with a wholistic experience of high quality innovative espectacular food under a genuine energetic young atmosphere of enthusiasm, know-how and care in the hospitality industry. One of the best restaurants in Miami. Joaquin and his business partner are definitely leveraging what they learned at Daniel Boloud school.

From the appetizers through desert, beautiful presentation, service, and palate. I simply love the way this chef seasons his food. Tried a different entre tonight. I had the Wild Mushroom Tagliolini. The use of the black truffle accentuates this dish, but it is not overbearing. One of the best if not best in town.

Overall great experience again. The food is exceptional and I like the coziness of the restaurant. I particularly like that the music is not loud to allow for actual conversation with dinner companions. This is a great neighborhood restaurant and terrific meeting point for me coming from mid-beach and meeting friends coming from Ft Lauderdale.

We stayed at W Miami Beach and decided to try to available options at the hotel. The restaurant was empty when we entered. It felt like I bought the place out for the night. Our server was awesome. I looked at the menu on Open Table and decided I'd get the charcuterie board for starts. When I looked over the menu at the restaurant, it wasn't there. Our server asked the chef and they provided a very nice board. I also hoped for a beer I saw on the Open Table menu, La Fin Du Monde, that also was not available. Ok, I guess I'll have a Lagunita. On to the food, I ordered the slow-cooked short ribs. Slow-cooked short ribs have to be juicy and tender. Well, it was tender but tasted like chalk. They provided what I expected was a sauce for the short ribs. It seemed like straight soy sauce. I thought I needed a high blood pressure pill! Needless to say, I didn't eat the plate. The staff did notice my displeasure and took my plate off the bill. So, that was very nice of them. I'd go back ), but try something different. Thanks to our server again. I forget her name but she helped to salvage the night.

Always a good place for after a movie or sports event or lunch anytime. Knuckle sandwich (lobster roll) best in town (including Joe’s) and should more than seasonal.
