    Server was terrific. Empanadas were amazing. Cubano sandwich did not disappoint. The band was great, but we were glad we were outside on the terrace because even there, it was loud. If I wanted to go and eat good food and then dance, this is definitely the place I would go! As it was, we were in the best spot to enjoy both.

    We had a great dinner. Shared the whole organic chicken with salad and fries. It was great. Service is always A+. I think from the welcome to the check, it is the best service in South Beach. I’ve tried the fish, lamb and steak on menu. All excellent. We sat inside. Not hot, but doors open and not very much AC. Also, it is very loud inside- noise from other tables. I think sitting outdoors is better.
