This was my first time at this restaurant. The food and service were both excellent, steak and an Irailan chicken dish, Scarpielo (?). My drink, a Cismo, was excellent . The atmosphere was surprisingly intimate for a restaurant in the lobby of a hotel . Live piano music playing... Great and relaxing discovery. Will return.

It was my first time in Miami and I just stumbled upon this in my scooter ride. One of the best experiences and the best seafood I’ve had so far. The server was very nice and very fast. Which is an A+ for me in any setting. I sat outside and the view was incredible.
