From the OpenTable editors: "Top Chef" winner Jeremy Ford is racking up awards—including a coveted MICHELIN Star—for this sophisticated spot in South of Fifth. With a glass-encased kitchen, the restaurant’s interiors are as cool as the New American menu, serving standouts like a truffle chicken and a stellar sake and Japanese whisky selection.

    We had a nice night/dinner, food and services are very good but not enough to come back, it is overpriced but ok for a one time experience, a lot of better places nearby.

    Was not very good- for a tasting menu the flavors were too overpowering. There was too much Indian flavor for a restaurant that doesn’t specifically mention the Indian influence on their dishes. Each course left us disappointed and wishing we were at an actually good tasting menu where the chefs balance the flavors to leave you curious and wanting more.

    The menu was wonderful and varied. Really bold flavors and a generous amount of proteins which is sometimes missing in tasting menus. I left full! Wine was also tasty. I didn’t try a cocktail but they looked great. Service was wonderful. Attentive staff and courses were timed well. Only critiques are that the duck gnocchi was a bit overly salty for my taste but it didn’t ruin the dish, and the base menu price is perhaps slightly steep by $25 or so. I would definitely go back and try other seasonal menus!

    Food was excellent, however, the service left a lot to be desired. The noise level for a modern restaurant with open industrial ceilings is just becoming more and more unappealing. For instance, I sat at the bar and the bartender attempted to explain the wine pairings with each course… And it was so loud I couldn’t even hear a word she was saying. Also, this was probably the first time that I ever saw bread as a course in a prefix menu. The pacing of the courses was at times off, sporadic and not consistent.

    Some of the most delicious food I have ever tested. I am a foodie and did the chefs experience. I really enjoyed watching the team in the kitchen window and seeing the chef engage with his team and customers as well. Just exquisite flavors. Best of Miami for sure!!!!
