    Good service and interesting, varied menu with some flavorful vegetarian options. Mushroom summer roll was delicious, while the pei mussel appetizer was overly spiced, in our table's opinion. Loved the peri peri chicken. Drinks and wine were South Beach pricey, though there now is a nice daily happy hour we'll try next time.

    Traveling from San Francisco…on Christmas Eve…. We didn’t even expect to find a restaurant open let alone serving with joy and enthusiasm! Not sure which shined harder…the food or the service! Both were extraordinarily exceptional! We got the tasting menu for a price we would never had expected in an SF restaurant! It was a steal! But our wonderful server informed us we didn’t pick from each course…we got ALL the plates in each course. We were like: uhm…I know we are two decent sized guys but we are not a small army. She said the plates were small! And that is the only complaint I have. She said the plates were small! She lied! Virtually every plate was an entire meal! Sooooo much food. And all of it so good, we couldn’t stop eating! It was crazy! And it was all for a fraction of the cost of a comparable meal in San Francisco! One of the top 3 restaurants of my life!

    I took my mom for her birthday, It was our first time going and it succeeded all expectations. We were amazed with the quality of the food and the service. Our server was Alberto but all the other staff was amazing as well. They even brought a complementary drink for her birthday and made sure her day was special. I definitely recommend this place and will be going back🤍🤍
