    While visiting Miami with my husband and daughter, I wanted to show them this building which was once a cool but rundown apartment building known as the Amsterdam in the 1980s, when I lived there - before Gianni Versace bought it and turned it into his home. It took me back in time as the entry and lobby is still very much the same, and the walkway to the dining area, which was approx where the door to apt 106 once was. Being there brought back some great memories. The dining area was once another building which GV knocked down to make room for his patio and pool, behind which stands a beautiful, somewhat ostentatious, mosaic tiled wall which fortunately did not cross the line into gaudiness.

    Had a very good dinner. Restaurant was jammed. Vibe was great. They are in the middle of changing over to an Italian Chop / Steak House. Flavors were great Service was just slow. The Server recognized it and offered to buy us drinks and desert which when that happens is a great gesture. That speaks well of the management and where they are taking this restaurant. The staff was very courteous and professional. Best of luck in the new format. As an aside, we had breakfast here in the Cadillac Hotel as well and breakfasts and staff were outstanding. Would go back for sure.
