    English: The restaurant is perfectly located with a breathtaking view of Brickell and the Miami Bay. The outdoor water front ambiance is cozy, with heaters creating a warm atmosphere for a January evening. The food is excellent and generous, particularly the fried snapper. The Key Lime Pie dessert was delicious and succulent—a real treat! Surprisingly, they don’t serve cappuccinos, and the espresso was served cold. Bad side: The waiter was so arrogant that I filed a complaint. Fortunately, he was replaced by a much better server, but management should reconsider their staff training. Français : Le restaurant est idéalement situé avec une vue à couper le souffle en bord de mer sur Brickell et la baie de Miami. L’ambiance extérieure est chaleureuse, avec des chauffrettes qui rendent la soirée de janvier agréable. La nourriture est excellente et généreuse, particulièrement le vivaneau frit. Le dessert, une tarte au citron vert (Key Lime Pie), était succulent. Un vrai délice ! Étonnamment, ils ne servent pas de cappuccino, et l’espresso a été servi refroidi. Point faible: Le serveur était tellement arrogant que j’ai déposé une plainte. Heureusement, il a été remplacé par un serveur bien meilleur, mais la gestion devrait revoir la formation des serveurs.

    Excellent food and ambiance!! Been coming here for years however this time around I had a horrible experience with the service and the staff at the front desk. Not gonna hold this against them these kind of things happen but definitely will rethink about coming back here with guests.

    Very good food, but impossibly LOUD music all through the restaurant, making it difficulty to have a conversation. Wait staff polite but not all that efficient.
