    Quintessential South Beach restaurant but not in a noisy, bar packed area. Selected a terrace table and enjoyed live music and people watching during dinner. Meal and service were AMAZING! Enjoyed an espresso martini, crusty Italian bread and olive oil, Caesar salad, sea bass with oyster mushrooms and shrimp dumplings, and for dessert, an incredible apple tart with vanilla gelato swimming in caramel sauce. Server was very attentive but not intrusive and created a wonderful dining experience! Presentation was beautiful and the meal well paced. Would recommend!

    I was told this was a good fresh seafood joint but it wasn’t so fresh on a Sunday evening. Octopus tasted fishy, snapper was fishy. Worst 200$ meal of all time
