Enjoyed the breakfast so much, very kind service and good taste.
What an amazing night. I wish I took more pictures. Not only was the food amazing but the service was as fabulous as the food. As I South Beach local resident I would not typically eat on Collins avenue. I'm so glad someone recommended this place because it's definitely not a tourist restaurant. The food was delicious and very classic mediterranean. Also, the family style portions were great. I love that we could share and try everything. I highly recommend this place for any visitor or local south beach resident. The lamb tangine was fabulous and the brussel sprouts were amazing as well. You can tell everything is freshly baked. When you order hummus you get freshly baked pita bread with it. The desserts were freshly baked as well. I feel like you can't go wrong here.
Amazing !!!!! Delicious food, I cannot get over how delectable this actually was. The GM, Jose, was great. This is definitely my new favorite restaurant!!!
The food is amazing! Everything we had was delicious. The cocktails were just as good. Although they are open throughout the day, the full menu isn't available until 6 pm, but it's well worth the wait. We'll definitely be going to the location in Vegas as well.
Absolutely amazing! Our server Audrey was 100% hands down one of the sweetest, most efficient, and spot on servers I've ever had! Exceptional customer service skills, wish I lived here and could be her regular patron all the time! Every staff member was pleasurable and made our dinner Amazing!!!! Despite hurricane Dorian fears, youd never know with this place, they made you feel welcome and comfortable! FOOD WAS A 10!
The Chef sent in 3 flat breads with greek yogurt, hummus & babaganoush. Frankly the freshness of the ingredients made these starters a delightful wait for appetizers and main courses. The Greek salad that followed, was in trend with the quality and find touch offered by the Chef on every dish. We also tried Grilled Octopus and I loved that was firm, along with a lovely bowl of Brussels sprouts. As main courses the Rack of Lamb were as close to perfection as it can get. This dish can only Excel when the quality is ahead of cooking, which was in line with the Filet mignon too. Obviously all women saved room for dessert. The chocolates volcano, apple cake and ice cream followed in line with the high bar set at the time we sat down. The biggest surprise was seem prices lower than the average for South Beach which makes it attractive to come back soon. We ordered drinks from the bar too and the decoration makes this restaurant a pleasant and unique experience.
Had a perfect date night here with wine and delicious food (like the flatbread). Great service and ambience. Would highly recommend.
Food is excellent! The service was incredibly attentive with management stopping by several times to check and make sure we were happy with everything. I came as part of a bachelorette party and the tapas style of the meal worked well for this. One to two dishes per person works very well if you plan to share among everyone. All of my parties drinks were delicious as well. Highly recommend.
