   The service needs to be more attentive: checking on water and wine on table - asking if anything else needed and generally caring for guests

   Lovely setting with attractive decor and lighting. Attentive service. Gracious welcome. Food is delicious and particularly good for sharing. Kind response to our request to lower music volume.

   GAO is one of South Beach's best restaurants. The appetizers are delicious. Maybe the main courses could be spiced up a bit more to suit my taste. Nice atmosphere and service. /Eric

   The ambience was amazing! There were so many plants, seating was so comfortable and the bathroom was insanely clean. Service was fast and delightful. The food was amazing! The ginger chicken and pad Thai were our favourites. One of the best restaurants we went to in south beach.

   The service was very poor. We were seated for a half hour before they served the bottle of water we ordered. At the end of dinner, our waitress was involved in a conversation with another table and failed to notice my attempts at requesting a check. To top it off, I received a notice from Open Table that I never showed up for the reservation. They failed to log me in. This is an example of what happens when a restaurant automatically charges a 20% service charge. There is little motivation for the staff.

   This is some of the best food I’ve had in Miami Beach. Pan Asian fresh flavors, delicious cocktails and stunning ambience. We got the dumplings, salmon crispy rice, ginger beef and crispy bok choi. Try the bananas flambé for dessert! A must have in SoFi.

    We love the authentic food and the decor! The music is a little loud but that’s Miami! The huge hit for me is the traditional spring rolls and the beef satay but everything was delicious! I love the sting fruit martini too.
