    Careful for the special the surf and turf was listed on the menu for $86. The waiter told me it was the special of the day and I thought it would be that price less or a little more sure but it came back $250. There was no transparency in price. Other than that everything was great the food was good portions were small don’t expect to get stuffed.

    Beautiful location, probably the best view of the Miami skyline at sunset I’ve ever seen. Food was good, service was friendly. We’d recommend it.

    It was my first time in Miami and I just stumbled upon this in my scooter ride. One of the best experiences and the best seafood I’ve had so far. The server was very nice and very fast. Which is an A+ for me in any setting. I sat outside and the view was incredible.

    We made reservations in advance but when arrived we waited about 15 minutes to be seated. First table offered was too small then they put two tables together near bar, not pleased with location. After that the service was good food honestly was average. Overall, not bad but not great either.
