“ Good food, great atmosphere, BIG drinks!!! The setting is great. Tables and chairs are very clean, and seating is not on street, so it’s not too disruptive. The music is at a good volume so that you can still enjoy it and have a conversation. Food was perfect and came out quick. We ordered the Cuban sandwich and the Italian sandwich, and it was the perfect amount to start a day at the beach. Now the drinks.... let’s just say they don’t cheap out on quantity or alcohol content. I got a large blue margarita(2 for 1 special). After drinking 30% of one drink, I was the perfect level of tipsy. They were able to give us to-go cups for what I couldn’t finish. The servers are kind and fun, as well. Highly recommend this for a good breakfast before your day at the beach! ”
“ Amazing experience! Great food and excellent service from our server Tatiana, she was very attentive! ”
“ On the first day in Miami, I went for a walk along the beach and this restaurant caught my eye because an employee was outside and very welcoming. I soon find out she was the general manager and her name was Barbara. Barbara then showed us an amazing time that we came back here again and again for the next few days we stayed in Miami. The last day I was there, it rained and Barbara saw me from the distance to run and give me an umbrella. Not only were they so hospitable, the food and drinks here are amazing. All of the drink you can think to get in Miami you can have it the best here. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, they also have amazing performances and live music at night. Good food and good vibes, what more can you ask for when you’re relaxing in Miami Beach? ”
“ Nice food. A bit expensive for what you get, but it's Ocean Drive. The drinks are great. Tons of alcohol and you can get a happy hour discount and you get 2 drinks and pay for one. Cuban sandwich is very tasty. ”
“ First time to Miami and stayed at hotel next door. This place has an amazing Italian menu, drinks, and seafood. Lobster bisque was delicious. Service was quick and friendly all around. My server Mo was very knowledgeable of the area and attentive. Will definitely eat here again before I leave town. ”
