What a find! The food is amazing as is the service. Love the atmosphere too. The only issue is that they don't have a full bar - Beer and Wine only which is a shame.

Everything was excellent, from the appetizer to the pancakes. Went there for breakfast and has the pork belly and bacon-wrapped dates (special), both were tasty and a perfect intro for our pancakes. Had a regular latte and Knaus Berry Farm pancakes (another special), they were delicious. The restaurant was in top condition and the service was excellent. From our waiter, to the folks bringing the food and the greeters at the door. This is my second time here and will be coming back again!

As a fellow industry worker from West Kendall, it’s refreshing to see a staple in West Kendall that hits every category, service and hospitality on point, Andres was knowledgeable on the menu, and patient. Overall, it’s one of Dade County’s best. Bartender that worked last nights shift was on point, displayed elegance and professionalism as he built his rounds. Host moving around like a swan, and controlling the pace of the floor.
