Service and ambiance were excellent, but it is insultingly overpriced. $60 bottle of wine is $200 Petite Filet Mignon for $80 20% gratuity included so overpriced wine is 20% more. MacAllan 12 for $50

Hands down best restaurant in town. Beautiful room & solicitous service. Food is exceptional, creative & delicious. Small portions always my go choice. Extensive wine list. It is one of most expensive in Fort Lauderdale so forget about happy hour & bar snacks. It ain’t Grill 66 - it’s fine dining. A memorable meal - tried 90% of the menu & will be back soon.

The pasta with lobster had no lobster and its taste was uninteresting.

The drink prices are ridiculous and the pour size is minuscule. The atmosphere is great, nice views etc. Staff got huffy when we asked where is the rest of the drink went... They try to push snacks on you with robery caviar prices. I would try again but hope the get their bar in check.

Matchless world class dining, service and ambiance at without doubt one of "the" newest best restaurants in South Florida. Great for special occasions but definitely expensive at +/- $100-$150 per person on average for main entre, salad or appetizer, alcoholic beverage, coffee and desert. Food is absolutely "out of this world "delicious" and exceptional in every way! We will definitely be back!
