Great food, but they seem to be still working on their timing. They brought out one of our hot meals before our appetizer. Then they got our dessert wrong, and we had to wait extra time to receive the correct one. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The appetizer, ironically, was the best thing. We will go back and give them another chance.

We were visiting our daughter at UMiami and took her here for brunch. It is a short drive from campus. We sat outside and had a delicious meal in the outdoor space. Service was excellent. The coffee is especially good.
