It was my first time at the Miami location after having dined at the NYC location before it closed. Run, don't walk to this restaurant. Menu items hit every taste, from meat lovers to pescatarians. Delicious food, an outstanding wine list, and great service. If you are in Miami visiting make a reservation before coming into town, if you live here put it on your "must" do list.

I'll start by saying new location with added new reasons to continue to come back to this establishment! We absolutely loved the new location and the upgraded features! Service was top tier as usual. I don't know what type of magic is going on in that kitchen, but we're definitely coming back to try ALL the new items on the menu! On another note, the new addition of a full bar with large flat screen televisions is a for sure reason this place will always be hot and popping on the scene! It's been a long time since I've tasted an original Old Fashioned, and it was fixed to perfection! Great job and love the new look! #BlueCollar P.S. - You just have to try the Jalapeño Cornbread!
