    We made reservations for 6:30 and glad we did. We wanted to have dinner before a show at the Filmore. The location is perfect for this. The service was excellent. Our waiter explained the menu and made recommendations. The food was great. They have a standard menu plus a long list of specials. The value is also very good. We will go back.

    Best lunch I’ve literally ever had in miami. Jane the hostess seated us as quickly as she could despite quite a wait and did so with the warmest smile. William the manager was so lovely and highly attentive making sure we were taken care of. And of course, the cake goes to Alberto who is really one of the most special people I have ever met. A warm charisma unlike any other! I will never forget his vibrant spirit that made what would have been just a typical weekend lunch into a core memory with my family forever. It really was a special day, the food was great the weather cooperated, the view captivating, but the staff was what really made it exceptional.
