We were a group of 12 waiting to check in to our VRBO. We had our luggage with us. They were extremely welcoming and accommodating. Our server, Andres was outstanding. He made us feel so at home. Everyone loved their food. The whole experience was the perfect way to begin our stay in Miami. I highly recommend.

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!

Underrated spot in Brickell, which isn’t the top of the Miami food scene. The grilled meats are excellent. Branzino was fantastic. Nice aesthetic inside
