   Butcher cut was so tough it was uneatable. Thankfully they took it off the bill. Hummus is too liquidy. The pita is outstanding. They forgot to put olives in the Greek salad. It’s an ok dinner because it is different. But one thing is for sure they need to change the chairs. They are the most uncomfortable chairs of any restaurant I’ve been to. For that reason we are not running back.

   I have been arranging meetings and dinners for 30 years. I have NEVER come across a restaurant that doesn't answer the phone, even during their busiest times. I booked this reservation through OpenTable, but had a last minute request. I called the restaurant and got a "virtual assistant". No one ever answered the phone. Sent a text, no reply. Sent a message through OpenTable, no reply. I will definitely not be booking here anymore since they don't have the decency to even answer the phone.

   The restaurant is pretty and has a nice ambience. However, the food is an overpriced mess. If you want to spend a fortune to basically eat just bread then this is the place for you. The hummus was so runny it was like soup. The baked feta was extremely salty (I’m aware feta is a very salty cheese but this was beyond). The drinks were 95% ice. The main course or as they call it “plates” are just the meat with nothing else. Not sure how it is a plate. $28 for a tiny piece of salmon that comes with nothing else. We ordered sides with it for an extra fee ($12 - $15 per side) and these came out about 7 - 10 minutes before the fish so imagine eating your sides or else they go cold and when you’re done you get your fish. Its a bit ridiculous but we just chuckled and moved on. Desserts - what a huge disappointment! The baklava was so bad that I was convinced it was store bought. If it wasn’t, then it was baked a week before serving because the layers were like glue and the top was soggy. The pistachio gelato was also terrible. $14 dollars for a serving and it’s got crunchy pieces of ice unlike true gelato. They can’t even blame it on being vegan because if you go to any vegan gelato store in Miami you will get a creamy product. Overall I would not return and would not recommend. We spent $400 for 4 people and basically enjoyed just the bread.

   The food was amazing. The service was extremely slow when it came to receiving the check. We were done eating for over 30 minutes before receiving our check so that we could leave.

    Had a wonderful birthday lunch with family. Our waiter suggested many items to try and they were all delicious. The problem arose when the check was brought, and there was an extra 20% for a service charge that our waiter told us was split among the entire staff. This is some new scam that some restaurants are doing now to their customers and some of the waiters expect an extra tip on top of this service charge. Can turn a $100 meal into $140 in a flash!
