Sitting high on the attractive terrace overlooking the action on Ocean Drive, we dined on terrific food prepared with care. The homemade pasta of my Bolognese was cooked to perfection-Al dente of course. The meats and sauce were perfectly balanced. Portions were generous. Service is friendly, attentive, and they aim to please. I’ve dined there more than one time. Whatever I ordered as a main course was to be praised.

Seriously yummy and huge portions. Service is amazing, can’t complain anything. Drinks are always good. Final bill automatically included 20% tips. On little pricy side but consider the top notch service and the quality and amount of food, it’s still not bad. We ordered fresh east coast oysters, bruschetta, chicken Parmesan and seafood linguine. Pasta homemade very yummy.

Je vous déconseille cet endroit. La nourriture est juste mangeable mais le service était vraiment terrible. L’attente était si longue. Pourtant d’autres tables arrivés après nous étaient servis avant… c’est vraiment dommage

The manager and hostess were very friendly our server not so much. We came early to enjoy happy hour which the manager seemed please to hear. We sat on the street to enjoy the view and people watching. Our server didn’t seem that thrilled that we wanted to enjoy happy hour and then have dinner.

I celebrated my birthday in 2023 and it was great, so wanted to do the same for 2024. unfortunately, the chef changed, and the menu and its presentation are completely different, not the wow effect we experienced last year. the quality of the food is good but less curated. I made the reservation giving some info about the dinner and I think they didn't read it. Regardless the disappointment of this dinner, at this restaurant you can have a very good meal in you are in Ocean Drive area. Prices are reasonable.
