    For a tourist friendly huge restaurant we were pleasantly surprised. The view of Miami and the bay is beautiful. But the food was excellent. Wonderful Chilean sea bass, excellent salads, very accomplished service from Omar. We will return with friend and family in tow.

    We’ve been going here for years. It has the best view of the Miami Skyline especially at sunset and the lights start to come on. Food was okay, but the selection in the past was better. Menu now is limited and we are not sure why they added Sushi, I think most would prefer a better selection of more local seafood especially since they are right on the water. If you want Sushi go to one of the Sushi places nearby. Price is similar to other restaurants in the area so nothing too shocking. Nice wine selection and good choice of specialty cocktails but those are pushing the $17 and up range so be ready.

    This place is a Miami landmark. If you are looking for a nice view of the bay and downtown Miami this is the place. Food is good not amazing. My only complaints were the food temperature and the dress code. The food came out cold for my liking. This is due to the fact that the waiter is the one who has to bring out the food. They need to have floaters, runners, busboys as support for the waiters. My other issue is that it looks like they do not have or enforce a dress code. Here you have people dressed up celebrating special occasions and next to them individuals wearing t shirts and flip flops.
