I celebrated my birthday here. We had an amazing time. The food, service, and atmosphere couldn't have been any better. I had the Sea Bass and my husband had the Branzino. We also had the Key Lime tart for dessert. Our amazing waiter was Ash. We were fortunate enough to come on a cooler day and got to pick our table on the beach.

I am very sorry to have had such a bad experience on my birthday and on my first visit to this place. The location and the atmosphere are very pleasant and beautiful, which is why I imagine they charge for each dish as if it were a five-star restaurant.
My husband and I ordered hummus with pita as an appetizer, then a seafood pasta, and afterward a Greek salad. The hummus and pita were good. However, the pasta did not look like much, and the seafood pieces were so small and rubbery that they were hard to find. On top of that, we found a hair in the pasta, disgusting, especially in such an elegant and beautiful place where more care should be taken with the food and the kitchen.
When we called the waiter, the only thing he offered was to bring us the same dish again. By that point, I already felt disgusted by what had happened, although my husband agreed to it. What surprised me the most was that the manager never came to apologize for what happened.
Another thing that made us uncomfortable was a man walking around the tables supposedly doing magic. I assume that at the end of the show he expects to be paid. When he approached our table, since we were already upset because of the hair in the food, we told him we did not want his magic act. He responded with an attitude, said “better that you don’t want it,” and walked away angrily. My husband mentioned this to the waiter, since apparently the manager was not paying attention to anything, and the waiter said they would speak to him.
In the end, they brought us a dessert we had ordered to celebrate my birthday. We only paid for the salad and the hummus; the rest was not charged. Even so, the prices are exaggerated for the quality of food they serve, which I found disrespectful.
To be clear, this is not the first expensive restaurant we have visited, but we do know when food quality is good and when it is not. I would not recommend this place for dining, maybe only to enjoy the view.

Second time coming here and second time that the bouncers were extremely rude.
I was originally invited to an event that was advertised by this location on their IG to end at 11pm. Bouncers turned everyone around at 9:30pm without any further explanation.
No reply from their socials, management, anything.
Sadly, I will not be returning until (if) the issue is addressed.

I’ve visited this restaurant many times and always enjoyed the food, view, and atmosphere.
However, today one of the server opened an extra tip screen on the payment machine and he asked me to enter a tip myself. This made me uncomfortable. By the way tip is included the bill. !!!
I would appreciate it if management could remind the staff about this. Other than that, everything is great.

For a Saturday night it was empty, my octopus was served 5 min after order was put in, my suspicion is that was pre cooked, also always check your bill before pay

It’s a racket. Not a nice place- Miami offers so much better. It’s one of those places that get you on optics, you leave disappointed and you NEVER come back. I’m a miami Local, skip it!

By far the worst dining experience I have ever had in Miami. 0 stars for the service, if I could. Our server (a Hispanic male) was rude from the get go. I don’t remember his name, but this was November 6th 2025 at 7pm. Someone like that should never work in the service industry let alone for a restaurant, in a tourist heavy area, where people are spending hundreds of dollars on a single meal. We are from Canada and this was my birthday dinner. He visibly rolled his eyes several times throughout the service and huffed and puffed loudly when we asked questions about the menu as if we were bothering him. The food wasn’t bad- it just wasn’t worth the price point. We ordered a couple apps and for our mains steak and the lobster pasta. The steak was good but the lobster pasta was a bowl of pasta with half of a shrimp sized lobster tail. I was shocked to see that this was the only lobster in the pasta- it was absolutely not worth the price nor should it be called a lobster pasta. We didn’t even bother taking pictures of the mains. When the reservation was made, in the notes we had stated that there was a nut allergy and that it was a birthday. When choosing dessert we chose the chocolate mousse (it doesn’t state anything about containing nuts on the menu). Before bringing the dessert our server asked for my name so that they could sing happy birthday. After repeating it a couple times and not saying it correctly, I asked if he would like me to write it down as it’s not a common name. He looked at me matter-of-factly and said “no I got it”. He did not in fact have it…And the dessert was brought with hazelnuts visibly sprinkled on top. When we informed him that there was a nut allergy and that it was stated in the reservation notes, he sighed loudly and said he would bring another without the hazelnuts- which didn’t matter because the dessert has Nutella in it. At this point we just wanted to get the bill and leave. Apparently splitting the bill, to pay for our respectable meals, was a hassle for him as well. He rolled his eyes when he was asked to do this. When paying, I asked him if service/gratuity was included and how much. He said yes 20% is included but it’s split amongst the servers so I can add more for him if I like. (I know what tip pooling is. He is making money off of every table. For the service we were given, I definitely was not giving him anything more.) My bill was $179 I gave him $180 in 20s and he asked me if I needed change. I said no need (it was a rounded number). He had the audacity to come back to the table and say “here is your dollar”. I said “I told you didn’t need change” and he proceeded to put the dollar on the table infront of me. I have worked in the service industry for 16 years and manage a restaurant here in Toronto. He was so self-absorbed that he wasn’t keen enough to even have that thought cross his mind. Had he had read his audience a little better- his service might have followed suit. I have never seen the entitled behaviour that this man has displayed from a server and they still have the job after the fact. This place has so much potential. The location is perfect. Unfortunately, until they set a new standard for their staff, I would not recommend this place. What a horrible experience.
