- JJean tMiami - Dade •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWhen booking with OpenTable, we weren't able to get a reservation until 815. We are from Eastern standard time so we're quite hungry. We stopped in at 5:30 to see if we could change our reservation and they were able to change it to 630. So polite and accommodating from the first moment. The service was exquisite, so friendly and happy. I wish I had gotten the waitress's name. And everyone was happily accommodating when my daughter wanted her steak cooked a little bit more. My lobster was fantastic. Perfectly cooked. Just wish it had been bigger. Overall worthy expense and fun to go to old historic restaurant.
