We were a group of 7 women (30’s to 50’s) in town for a work conference and found this mansion by chance. It was amazing. The entire mansion was a work of art, the food was excellent and not overpriced, the drinks were amazing. Despite not wearing Gucci or carrying a Chanel purse like many there, we were given excellent service and were seated center floor in front of the pool - best seat there. Honestly, if you are looking for a great place for dinner and drinks as well as stellar ambiance, this is a must!

It was my first time at the Miami location after having dined at the NYC location before it closed. Run, don't walk to this restaurant. Menu items hit every taste, from meat lovers to pescatarians. Delicious food, an outstanding wine list, and great service. If you are in Miami visiting make a reservation before coming into town, if you live here put it on your "must" do list.

Great spot but it’s not really a very good place to take a date. Very loud music made it impossible to talk for large portions of dinner. Excellent place for cocktails and dancing or to go with friends
