    Not sure what anyone see’s in this place. Other than that it’s in the district, the vibe is loud, stuffy and the lighting is just all wrong ! Food is mediocre at best and the service equally spotty and unremarkable in every way. Sooooo many better choices in Miami and even in the district , just can’t understand why anyone would choose overpriced mediocre food and service .

    The food was outstanding. The squash carpaccio was unique, beautifully presented and delicious. The homemade gluten free pasta was excellent—you wouldn’t know it’s gf. We finished with the Nutella fudge cake which also happened to be gf. It was light and satisfying. We look forward to going back!

    The food was good, but nothing extraordinary. It was my birthday, and while they brought out a cake with a candle, the waiter didn’t seem to care much—there was no singing or celebration, which dampened the mood a little. The basil pasta was unfortunately way too salty, which was disappointing since I was really looking forward to it. On the bright side, the whipped ricotta was absolutely delicious—I’d come back just for that! Overall, the vibes were cute and enjoyable.

    Nothing special unfortunately (we’re from Chicago though, so we’re used to Michelin Star restaurants on every corner lol). Wasn’t “bad” in any way; however, just had sort of boring flavors throughout.
