Good service and interesting, varied menu with some flavorful vegetarian options. Mushroom summer roll was delicious, while the pei mussel appetizer was overly spiced, in our table's opinion. Loved the peri peri chicken. Drinks and wine were South Beach pricey, though there now is a nice daily happy hour we'll try next time.

I took my mom for her birthday, It was our first time going and it succeeded all expectations. We were amazed with the quality of the food and the service. Our server was Alberto but all the other staff was amazing as well. They even brought a complementary drink for her birthday and made sure her day was special. I definitely recommend this place and will be going back🤍🤍
