NevnellFebruary 8, 2014The best city view of Miami downtown.I can recomend new york steak, ocean salmon , shrimp and lobster. The idea of sitting around the fire at outside by the sea its awesome 👏👍
Linds EllisDecember 13, 2017Bottomless mimosas for $18, the best drink special in Miami! Excellent food, went for Sunday brunch. They accommodated me by making traditional eggs Benedict. I didn’t want the extra stuff. Yummmmmmy!
Amit ManochaSeptember 16, 2012Great food, great service. Parking was hard to find but once we got in we were greeted by 4 different people to make sure our experience was great. I will definitely be back and recommend this joint.
G PMay 26, 2022What a beautiful restaurant! Great food, cocktails and views. Be careful with the iguanas if you sit outside. The lobster roll is amazing!
Carlo D.December 16, 2016Food was tasty. Outdoor seating is a must if you want to enjoy the view of Miami skyline
Selah WellsJuly 9, 2018I've only been here once,the cocktail shrimp is really good. Their service is excellent and I suggest being seated outside. There's a wonderful view of the city on the water.
Cesar SorianoMay 23, 2016All perfect just if you come without reservation don't let the Hostess try seat you at the Bar where is great just for a drink.We wait for the table having a drink and didn't take more than 10 min.- MiamiCulinaryTours.comSeptember 20, 2013Happy Hour Mon- Fri from 4pm-7pm. Entrees include the famous Local Sea Bass to Soy-Honey roasted Duck Breast with Three Bean Salad, New Potatoes, Teardrop Tomatoes, Hazelnut Vinaigrette.
Camila TrejosOctober 7, 2018The food quality is so good and so fresh, also the place is really nice and you can enjoy ocean view.
Kelly McEachernJune 11, 2012I'm so in love with the crab cake and the oysters. The views are awesome, especially during sunset. Having a cocktail outside on the patio is must. Just an overall fun night out
W. ChrisMarch 3, 2013Great views of Downtown Miami and an EXCELLENT mojito. Sunday brunch was wonderful! Try the make your own beef tartare.
- Amit ManochaSeptember 16, 2012Try the Miami Caprese, a fresh twist on the traditional Caprese with Raw(slightly sweet) mangoes and a cilantro dressing. Delicious!
Jorge Arias G.March 2, 2014Is one of the nicest restaurants in Miami, a "must go"; excellent service and quality of dishes, if the weather is nice, take a table outside!
LuisJuly 20, 2014Great wine selection, salmon tartar, empanadas, no matter what you order get asparagus and goat cheese mashed potatoes sides. Location is perfect!
garyJune 24, 20151st thing, best thing, this place has incredible views of downtown Miami! Can be romantic, casual, w/e! BUT, the food just really lacks the punch it should have. It's not bad, but too expensive. Sry.
Laura ClaerboutFebruary 16, 2017Great & cozy restaurant with the best view on Miami! Try the lobster risotto.
Rahma AliJanuary 23, 2016Toothfish was from a different world. Very delicious entrées and fast service. Amazing experience with the view and all.
Steve NormanMay 7, 2015The view is the BEST in S. Miami, day or night. Appetizers are great, main courses were disappointing. Come for drinks, snacking and the view.
Romeo QuijanoMay 11, 2015Mother's day was a bomb of flavor! The buffet was soooo delicious and wide different dishes... sea food, meat, dessert, etc.
Janet E.November 11, 2021Salmon and mash potatoes are delicious. I ordered an Old Fashioned and it was mostly bourbon, not an old fashioned. The people were very loud. I had to speak really loud for my bf to hear me.
Katherine ChanDecember 6, 2014Great views. Painkiller cocktail is girly, but delicious. They debone the whole snapper table side which is quite dramatic.
Michael WorleyJuly 4, 2012The food is mediocre for the price, but omg is this place in a great location. Best view of Miami, hands down. Service is wonderful as well. Jason was a great waiter.- Daniel LencioniOctober 4, 2014The crab cake was very good, the grouper and toothfish (seabass) amazing.
Incredible views of Miami. Brunch menu is limited but you get to offer few choices when they're all that good!
Robert CaldwellJanuary 5, 2012Amazing Food, Amazing Service, the Remodel and all of the other upgrades make this a world class restaurant. We will be back soon.
Niamh BreslinAugust 21, 2014A decent brunch - but a little dry. Made up for by the Bottomless Mimosas for $18!
Sherie SwerdlowFebruary 10, 2016Great view of downtown. I like the crab cake and the jumbo grilled asparagus.
Selda Kırkan - RealtorJuly 1, 2014The best views of Miami! Britney is a great host, the place has excellent service!
Diplomatico RumMay 1, 2012Ask for Milos Vujovic and his drink Cinnamatico, amazing cocktail with Reserva Exclusiva, lemon juice, honey, orange slices and cinnamonM
Jessika GomezApril 14, 2012Beautiful view from here! If you want to live in Brickell or Key Biscayne, contact me. I'll help you find a nice place with a great view
Horst MaiwaldJuly 17, 2013The view was great. The food and service good. The host who greeted us should get some training in customer service.
Gabbie ChamorroSeptember 16, 2012Hit or miss on the food. I felt they rushed bringing it out and then rushed taking the plates. Didn't get to enjoy the great view given their rush!
Joseph J HillFebruary 7, 2016Went Friday night - crowded - had scallops that were dry and had no taste but partner had halibut and said it was good. Table service was reasonable but had to ask for bread in order to get some.
Jessica TruyolFebruary 16, 2013Though slightly overpriced, the food combined with the presentation and view more than makes up for the $$$ price tag.
VallyriNovember 20, 2014Beautiful view, friendly staff and the food is great! Take a seat by the Windows
The best view of downtown Miami, but the lunch menu could use some work.
Maya WeintraubDecember 9, 2013Orlando is a good writer. The bill took a while but overall a good experience and great food
Anastasia ParomovaMarch 18, 2016The view is absolutely breathtaking. One of the most romantic places in Miami.
Isabel HernandezDecember 22, 2011New menu new look. I like the interiors but at first I missed the shells, rope and bottles. Oh well, nothings lasts forever. No more warm toasty cheese bread nor creame brule. New desserts are OK.
