Other than having to wait in a line to let them know we had arrived on for our reservation (an extremely stressful frustrating and negative customer experience ) once seated everything else was top shelf.

Excellent locale inside a 5 star hotel, The St Regis Bal Harbour FL. The ambiance is chic casual. The service was superb. The all you can eat buffet belongs as a stand by itself five star restaurant menu. The presentation of the food is "instagramable". Highly recommended.

Another wonderful experience. We brough 2 nephews from out of town, and they were blown away by the food, service, attention to detail by the staff, and the show. We ate family style and were given adequate time between courses to enjoy our family. Then we topped off desert with the Bomb! This is a delicate outer shell of merengue, with fresh seasonal fruits and freshly whipped cream. Bravo! This restaurant has quickly become our go to place to eat especially when we have guests in town. Sharing this experience is on the top of our list.
