I remember the old restaurant at this location, so when it came to meeting someone for dinner who…read morelives in the area, I could think of no better place. We got there right at eight. Just missing last call, and we're able to get a spot at the bar. As far as I can remember from the venue, it is still top-notch! Disclaimer, the only reason I'm giving it four stars is because we just had a chance to get drinks and appetizers. As the menu is Italian heavy, I definitely want to come back. The bartender was attentive and pleasant, allowing us to enjoy the evening pretty much to the edge of closing time. He was also on point with the recommendation for their Tres leches dessert that was garnished with a Maria cookie (#iykyk) Since I had not eaten, I went ahead and enjoyed their meatball appetizer. These four juicy meatballs were served in a robust marinara sauce along with two pieces of baguette. I like! As far as drinks, I went from my usual a.k.a. anything with rum. Their Mojito is creamy due to the coconut base. My friend enjoyed a spicier vodka cocktail that I also sampled. Since it's located inside Matheson hammock Park, the restaurant is pretty much right on the water. You can definitely enjoy a nice sunset either in the patio or walk around to catch the full moon on the bay. As far as parking, there are metered spaces, which are free after sunset. I would definitely recommend this place and plan to come back!

We came here for our 28th anniversary. We had also come here exactly 12 years ago for our…read moreanniversary. The restaurant has changed a lot in those years. In a good way. The restaurant is very nicely decorated. Upscale, modern, chic, but comfortable. It's in a beautiful location. Perfect place to watch the sunset. We sat inside because we didn't want to deal with the wind. But I think the outdoor seating area might block the wind. Our waiter was wonderful. They brought out warm rolls with honey and butter on the side. I ordered the salmon. My husband ordered the branzino. Both were delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also had a side of the Tartufo fries. We thoroughly enjoyed everything. After our meal they brought us a dish of coconut ice cream on the house as an anniversary gift. I would definitely return. FYI: the prices are not as high in the restaurant as they are online. I think some patrons complained about the prices and they lowered them in house.

Disappointing Miami Spice Experience…read more I was really looking forward to trying this place for Miami Spice, especially since I was meeting friends who live about two hours away. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the start. When we walked in, there was a noticeable moldy/musty smell, which immediately made the atmosphere less enjoyable. Several items that were advertised as part of the Miami Spice lunch deal were actually not being offered for lunch. There was only one waiter on the floor and one bartender, and it showed. We waited over an hour for our food, and unfortunately, when it finally arrived, it was mediocre. It was especially disappointing because my friends had driven about two hours to meet up, and we were hoping to have a great Miami Spice experience. Sadly, the food, service, and overall atmosphere did not live up to expectations.

Not that it matters because the people carving couldn't speak English and didn't know what the sauces were. Meh: -French toast- OK. Cold. Maple syrup is CORN SYRUP, NOT MAPLE SYRUP -Bread pudding- flavorless creme anglaise though. COLD. BAD: -Oysters- dry and room temperature. No signs on sauces -Shrimp- boiled to death- so rubbery they were inedible -mini "lobster"- over cooked, odd texture, no flavor -Pasta- lean cuisine is better -"Paella"- mushy, flavorless, gross. -Miso Salmon- FISHY. NOT OK TO EAT. -Sushi- better at whole foods -Eggs benedict- nicely poached eggs. COLD. Flavorless gelatin "hollandaise", soggy English muffin. Crusty old Canadian bacon -Bacon- tough, flavorless, cold -Breakfast Potatoes- COLD, DRY, Flavorless, wrinkled and shriveled up from sitting under some heat element -Hummus- Flavorless, obviously not made in house. There was no butter or edible rolls, just soft sticks and soft doughy balls. Cheese selection was cubed cheddar etc (think cheap platter from Albertsons for a work event) SERVICE: Waiter was automatically tipped $50 (there were 2 of us). His ONLY job was to bring water, juice and a mimosa or Bellini. - HAD TO GET UP THREE TIMES AND ASK SOMEONE ELSE FOR WATER. THREE TIMES!!!!! -Other people cleared the plates. So he got $50 for pouring 2 glasses of water, one OJ and one mimosa (she asked for a Bellini). This is not only NOT worth the money, it was just a BAD BRUNCH. NOT ONE THING WAS WARM, let alone hot. TERRIBLE.

I think we got 3 drinks each. The apps were perfect sizes Recommend patatas bravas - can't go wrong with that and filling. Pan con tomate- The tomate was delicious and somewhat fruity - great quality with crisp bread underneath. Bacon wrapped dates are my favorite and these were huge. Had to cut in half. Not pictured shrimp croquettes were unique, a bit of a texture curve so one was enough for me. The crispy artichokes had good potential - maybe we were no longer hungry but it was very dry and flavorlesss, tasted like straw. The sauce on the side saved it.

Whew! I am so full! We went out for an early birthday dinner date night and Ossobuco hit the spot…read more Small place right in the heart of Coconut Grove. Parking was easy with a parking garage right across the street. We went on a Wednesday night at 7:30 and although we arrived a little early, we were greeted and seated immediately. It isn't a huge place, but it had a nice buzz going on. Low lighting gave it a very romantic vibe. We aren't drinkers so we stuck to water but they do appear to have a lovely wine selection. I had a purse and the hostess brought over a stand to hang my purse on which was very much appreciated. Our server was attentive and came over right away to go over the menu. Everything is meant for sharing, which was fabulous because we wanted to try a few different things. Join me on a lovely tour of the menu we experienced. We started with an empanada which was good, the cilantro sauce was a bit tangy. Good flavor to the meat. We also had the Osso Bone Marrow to start and wow this was delicious. It was bone marrow topped with Ossobuco marmalade on top and some smoked chimichurri, served with a few slices of toasted baguette. This was excellent, but combined with the empanada it was a heavy start to the evening. Would definitely only do this again if we had more people to share with. Next came the 16 oz skirt steak, street corn, and wild mushrooms. The steak was perfectly cooked, served with a small bowl of salt and a bowl of chimichurri. Nothing too special about it, was exactly what would be expected of a perfectly cooked skirt steak. The street corn is not a huge serving which was excellent. It was a perfect amount for us to share. This was served with queso fresco, bread crumbs, and a chipotle crema. Finally, my favorite dish was the wild mushrooms. This was served with a poached egg, croutons, and micro greens. The mushrooms had the most amazing savory and earthy flavor. This is a plate I would easily want to have every time I would go. There's a dessert menu but we did not even look at it. We were so full, it was a great amount of food and we left truly satisfied. The service was attentive and fast. All in all, we will be back to try the Ossobuco croquetas, ricotta gnocchi, and many other dishes we had our eyes on. Excellent

The burrata on bread with the charred Brussels sprouts was incredible, and the mussels were probably some of the best I've had. The sauce was spicy but also a little sweet and completely different from any mussels I've had before. And the hanger steak was AMAZING. So tender and cooked perfectly. Definitely don't skip dessert either! We had the chocolate cake with whiskey and it was delicious. They also have really good bourbon flights, a great Malbec, and an awesome happy hour with $10 wines and discounted cocktails. But what really made the night was the service. Allyson, our bartender, was fantastic and gave us great recommendations. Julia, our server, was super attentive, and Joel, the Operations Director, came over and took the time to explain some of the menu items to us and was just lovely. We went in to celebrate Sylvia's birthday and ended up having such a fun night. Great food, great drinks, great service and a really nice atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Its the Miami expansion of Flight West, a beloved restaurant and bar out of Rochester, NY known for its serious whiskey collection, curated wine program, and hospitality first vibe. The place feels like an elevated dining and cocktail experience from the moment you walk in with a strong bar identity at its core. Let's talk drinks first, because the Juniper was so good I ordered two .. Orange blossom gin, fresh lemon juice, topped with a blackberry foam .. genuinely delicious, easily my favorite of the night. Now for the food, because we came hungry ... We started with the Wagyu tartare which had aioli, puffed quinoa, watermelon, radish, and grilled bread ,absolutely delicious. Then the charred octopus with smoked hummus, which was really tasty, maybe just slightly over on the char side, but the flavor was there. The half shell scallops were the table favorite, a full dozen and every one of them was so good. For mains we split the Flight West burger which was an 8oz Wagyu beef, brie, applewood bacon, arugula, caramelized onions, brioche, plus a side of truffle fries. Incredible. Dessert was the lava cake and churros .. both great, but the lava cake was prob my favorite. Service ran a little slow, but we ended up in a great conversation with Joel, the manager representative who gave us some awesome insight into the story behind the place. Overall an excellent night and this will not be our last visit. Can't wait to go back...And yes, happy hour runs Tuesday-Friday, 5-7pm, so plan accordingly.
