We chose the seafood pasta from the set menu. The beet carpaccio with goat cheese was our favorite dish of the night. However, the eggplant lasagna was very salty and dry, and the tuna tartare was bland and forgettable. The pasta itself was flavorful and cooked al dente, but the lobster and shrimp were overcooked. We also ordered the chocolate cake for dessert, which was not included in the menu price. Sadly, it was very dry and lacked flavor, with a texture more like pudding than cake. It's a shame because the restaurant has a lot of charm and potential, but the food didn't live up to it. I wouldn't return.

We got a desert it was strawberry something- really delicious but they do change their desert items. HH is Sunday through Thursday - would def recommend.

I have never in my life seen a restaurant add a healthcare fee to the customers check to help pay…read morefor the employees healthcare. While I do appreciate that they say you can ask for the fee to be waived I feel that puts the customer in an extremely uncomfortable position to ask the server (whose healthcare cost you would be helping) to remove. Also, while I think it is nice for the employees and I do support everyone having access to affordable healthcare, we quite literally had three people at our dinner table who didn't have healthcare so the juxtaposition was really strange. I think that this should be an added question to the check on the tablet when you go to pay such as "would you like to add a X% charge to help our employees pay for healthcare" and should absolutely not be an automatic added fee to the check due to the discomfort it puts the customers in. Before I wrote this review I wanted to see if maybe I was alone in thinking this was strange so I texted about ten people and every individual agreed it was. Food wise, they have some great options on the menu! The peaches and burrata was the star of the show it was so delicious. The rodeo Za is definitely pretty fishy so if that isn't up your alley I wouldn't recommend. Also wouldn't recommend the lasagna. The watermelon matcha lemonade was so good!

I was in the area around midday and decided to stop here for lunch. The place is beautiful, and I…read morewas lucky enough to get a table on the balcony. The view is amazing, and the weather couldn't have been better for lunch al fresco--sunny, but not too hot. I tried the Miami Spice menu. Overall, I would say the food was average. The steak tartare was my favorite, it had a nice texture and good seasoning. The lamb chops were tasty and nicely cooked, but they never really felt like a true scottadito to me. The spinach was tasteless, and the carrot purée was a brushstroke on the plate--barely enough to taste it. The fruit tart was ok , but forgettable. The cocktails were expensive, but very good and well made. Service wasn't exactly high-end, but overall it was good. I had to ask for water a couple of times, my first cocktail was forgotten and I had to order it again, and when the bill came, I was charged for two Miami Spice menus even though I was dining alone. There was never a comment about this issues, but My server was very nice and I genuinely enjoyed my time there. For me, it's 3 stars for the food and 4 stars for the ambiance. As far as value goes, the Miami Spice menu is definitely a good deal--no doubt about that. Overall, I really enjoyed my lunch and would come back. This review is specifically based on the Miami Spice lunch menu, so the regular dinner menu may be a completely different experience in terms of food quality. I'm definitely willing to give it another try in the near future.

An opulent failed attempt at fine dining…read more At first glance, the place is impressive -- beautiful cars outside, constant traffic of guests walking in, crisp white tablecloths setting the stage for what appears to be a refined dining experience. Unfortunately, the illusion fades rather quickly. The first sign of trouble arrives with the server sporting a rather impressive lip piercing, followed closely by a colleague whose diamond nose stud could probably be seen from space. Not exactly the ambiance one expects when aiming for "elegant." Despite the abundance of servers floating around the dining room, none seem to notice when your knife dramatically dives off the table and lands on the floor -- where it enjoys a long, lonely stay. Water service is also quite innovative: they simply leave the entire bottle at the table, which seems less about generosity and more about avoiding the inconvenience of returning to refill your glass. The food? Sadly just as uninspired. From the octopus to the $68 Milanese, every dish managed the impressive feat of being completely flavorless. The Milanese arrived with a beautiful crust, which raised hopes... until you realized there was no sauce, no garnish, and nothing to rescue what turned out to be a remarkably bland plate. Meanwhile, the staff appears deeply committed to minimizing effort -- though not shy about judging you directly when the tip doesn't meet their expectations. All in all, this place feels like fine dining in costume. Perhaps a return to the basics of hospitality and service would be a good start... followed by a serious conversation with whoever is currently in the kitchen. Good luck to anyone brave enough to give it a try.
