By far one of the best restaurants in Miami. Not only is the place absolutely beautiful, but the food and service match as well. Miami is full of beautiful places but the food tends to lack- not here. Will definitely be back. Our waitress Nikol was such a sweetheart and made the experience even better!

The cream cheese croqueta with chorizo appetizer was excellent. The seafood risotto as well as the regular risotto were very delicious. The filet mignon was good, but it was not as tender as other filet mignons I have had. The service was excellent as was the ambience and decorations.
