all of the most amazing meals we’ve had in a long time. The crabcake is highly recommended is a giant lump of blue crab with some Panko breadcrumbs. lobster mac & cheese is amazing with giant chunks of lobster. The 8 ounce fillet was cooked exactly the way it should be as a medium with plenty of flavor and juice in the middle. oysters were nice and tasty. Did not taste old or have a stinky smell to them . ambience was perfect and the staff was extremely attentive. Met the owner, the GM and the AGM all good dudes. Excellent service highly recommend recommend

The food and service were exquisite—probably the best dinner I have ever had. Each bite was a gem-like explosion of unparalleled taste. Jose, our server, was outstanding in his attention to detail, recommendations, and service. Shame on any Miami resident who hasn’t yet visited this singular restaurant. Washington, DC, where my friend and are from, has many wonderful restaurants, but not one like this.
