We had the Canard a la presse and it was an outstanding experience. Everything was impeccable and they paired the duck with a wine specially produced for them to be paired with the dish and made it sublime (a Syrah - garnacha blend). In few words, this place is worth every recommendation and I would always make a stop when visiting Miami

Great service. Whole fried fish at $140 is way too pricey. Not worth the money.

A fantastic place to take a loved one out for dinner. Pleasant music, great ambience, and comforting/welcoming customer service. Nearby PayByPhone parking is handy and the restaurant is located at a park for a lovely outdoor scenery. Did not have the pleasure to try every food item, but so far the chicken black truffle gnocchi and the seared salmon are amazing choices. Definitely recommend!

A wonderful evening with family and friends trying out some place new. We wanted to try so many menu items we decided to share plates. Everything was delicious! Especially enjoyed the lamb chops. Who knew we liked vegetables as much as we did when presented artfully and flavorful. The desserts were sinfully good. The service was attentive and friendly. The chef came by. The hostess was so polite and sweet. Just a fabulous night all around!
