The food and service were exquisite—probably the best dinner I have ever had. Each bite was a gem-like explosion of unparalleled taste. Jose, our server, was outstanding in his attention to detail, recommendations, and service. Shame on any Miami resident who hasn’t yet visited this singular restaurant. Washington, DC, where my friend and are from, has many wonderful restaurants, but not one like this.

We loved everything about this restaurant. Being a native of Cartagena Colombia, we decided to try and see how they showcased this type of cuisine. We went for dinner very early (6 pm!) so it was quiet overall but were very pleasantly surprised. The menu is incredibly creative, and the chef's interpretation is full of great and diverse flavors. It is a twist on traditional dishes, so be prepared to be surprised. We enjoyed it very much. The restaurant is inside the SLS Hotel in South Beach, so it also has a great vibe. There is a lobby bar and an outdoor bar where you can hang out before or after dinner. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely one of the best dinners we have had anywhere! Rafael and the team were professional courteous and warm. We did the caviar as a starter and that set the tone. It was like to other caviar serving we had ever experienced. We did the tasting menu to follow and the first couple of starters were absolutely amazing. - I kept saying wow! WOW!! I’ve had the opportunity to eat at some of the best restaurants in the work; Moscow, Shanghai, Toronto, New York, Hong Kong, London. This restaurant is in that league. It is so different. A couple sitting next to us - visiting from Norway had the same experience. They were raving as much as us. The restaurant has only been open 6 weeks (as of Nov 9th). If you want something exceptional and different - and the budget allows - go now! Before they become so well known you won’t be able to get in!

WOW. I must say, I am thoroughly impressed and grateful for having made this the location for our anniversary dinner! All 16 plates we had were delicious! I know, we're a bit gluttonous, but we love to give the restaurant the opportunity to blow our palates away with variety. This is a higher priced restaurant, but the quality made up for the smaller bites (they're actually prettyyy small). The flavors hit every part of our palates, and the service was superb. Elisa, Fiorella, Chef Job, and another Spanish gentleman (I'm sorry I forgot your name) were attentive and very kind. Now the MUST HAVE plates: Caribbean Sando, corn bunuelo (eating one whole is an orgasmic experience), Mar & Montana fish sticks, Croquetas de ropa vieja, Lulu ceviche, seafood cazuela, Posta negra, salt crusted branzino (what a beautiful presentation). Must have desserts: oblea, coco & Pina, and cholao are BEYOND delicious. It was a bunch of food, but my wife and I didn't leave ANY because it was so good. Our grandmothers would be proud! 😉 Thank you guys for such a magical experience! We'll be back very soon to try the rest of your menu!! 🙏
