    My favorite restaurant that I go to when I come to Miami. It’s been a couple years. I was disappointed to notice that this first class restaurant is badly out dated. The tables, chairs and booths badly need to be updated and upscaled.

    The main draw for this place is the view—service leaves a lot to be desired. The food is fine but as the case with much of the restaurant scene in Miami the service is basic (nothing above and beyond).

    Unfortunately, I had the lobster and shrimp risotto. The lobster tail had to be returned three times. It was overcooked and so tough, you couldn’t even cut it. I believe it was left over from the brunch served earlier that day. They couldn’t get it right but they tried. The ambience odd still gorgeous and I will return.
