    Great experience! Only had one waiter but he managed the patio well. I mistakenly booked for the wrong date but they were very acommadating. Fast service, I sat on the patio and it wasn’t too loud or too hot. I’d dine here again.

    Food was tasteful, nice presentation. Drinks were subpar and way too expensive for what they are. Martini was (I’m not kidding not exaggerating) 4 total sips. Never have I been served such a small drink EVER.

    Overall experience was OK. The bench we sat on was wet (because it had rained about 2 hrs prior) and the hostess was not helpful about that AT ALL. As if we should be expected to sit on a wet bench. Food was fine, didn’t think it was anything special given the plethora of restaurant option on Las Olas.

    Carla was amazing. Even with all the tables she had,she was still attentive. You can see the staff love there job, everyone was smiling and seem happy to service. The food runners were good with the little time at the table. The food was great although it came out cold at first, Carla fixed it and was able to enjoy. The music was a little distracting we could hardly hear to talk. The over all experience was awesome highly recommend and will be back !!!

    Service was great. Had the angry shrimp and artichoke appetizer it was okay. My wife had the gaucho trout which was mediocre. I had the pork chop which was good. The other couple had the branzino and New York strip which they enjoyed . we had the mango dessert which was excellent.
