Great vibes! Food was amazing and staff was so nice and accommodating. My husband was hesitant when he saw the menu but he enjoyed his meal so much. He’s very much a salt and pepper guy and he didn’t need to put any! Everything was seasoned well and cooked beautifully. Def will be back when i back in Miami. Thanks for treating this NYer with so much love !
