Not good

by EatWell

It started well with the tuna tar tar, then we ordered a grilled seafood - what we were hoping was a feast - for two ($62). It was bad, dry, a little smelly, and the only decent thing on the platter was a small piece of grilled tuna. Flavorless calamare, tasteless salmon, rubbery prawn, and disgusting Florida and Maine lobster. A little ambitious and really awful.

It was served with grilled vegetables - great potato and three strips of ok zuchini.

Save your money.

• Pros: Absolutely heavenly tuna tar tar with avocado
• Cons: Worst most expensive awful seafood dinner EVER

Horrible service, adequate food

by scandle

I was just there tonight (Wednesday) with my girlfriend and I can't remember the last time I was so badly serviced in a restaurant. Where to start? The hostess had this pessimistic and serious attitude as if we had sinned because we didn't have reservations (the place was two thirds empty). After she gave us a table, it took a long time before the hostess came to pick up the menus, and no waiter had approached us yet. We told her this and after our patience ran out, the manager came to take our orders. A good 20 minutes passed before the manager himself started waiting on us. What was worse is that other Italian guests were being serviced promptly and a lot more courteously than us (We are young well-dressed college-educated Cuban-Americans, just in case you wonder). I hadn't felt so abandoned in a restaurant before. There was a clear preferential treatment with a couple of tables (all Italians) around us who had arrived after us and received their food and everything else way before us.

The food was not impressive, I can name at least three seafood places that are obviously better than this: Rusty Pelican, Captain's Tavern and Grillfish. The only upside to this day is that they knew how bad a service they had given us and deducted 25% off our bill and crossed out the tip section. This is not nearly enough to make me go back to this sad place.

• Pros: Ambience, location
• Cons: Service, average food

What a view!

by wrharbour

A very romantic place to take a date or someone that has never seen downtown Miami. Go by car or take your boat. Recent improvements to the outdoor eating area has really stepped this place up! There is an excellent assorted grilled seafood dish for two which is a mound of finger licking fish! The staff needs a little better training it took four reminders to get us a bottle of sparkling water to the table. Overlooking that, the entrees were good. Not so sure about the desserts. The tiramisu seemed defrosted.

• Pros: Amazing views at night!
• Cons: Staff needs some work but friendly
