    Food was interesting. Portions incredibly small. Glass of wine smallest I have ever gotten. Overall ok. Was there 2 years ago live 3 blocks from restaurant. May return in 2-3 years. Maybe. Too expensive for what they give you. If charge what they do portions should not be minuscule

    The location is one of my favorites spots in Miami. The food was exceptional. You must try the fried chicken and ice cream sandwich.

    Got sat outside and was blown around with the wind Not one dish jumped out as delicios. The food was meh at best and the experience was equally forgettable. Event decor was extremely cheap and tacky and catered towards only fans influencers. For the cost - at least one thing should be excellent - food, ambiance, experience. None were. Wait staff and team were great. Not their fault that the experience was forgettable.

    Phenomenal Valentine’s Day experience. Thank you to the whole team - from the hosts to the runners, and especially our server Jed and the chef for making this a memorable holiday dining experience. The menu was divine. Plus beautiful florals + live music!
