Reviews
The chef is visibly attentive to every detail and monitors each dish as it leaves the open kitchen. The waitstaff is pleasant and knowledgeable. Our server, Carol was lovely!
The menu boasts an extensive array of appetizers and entrees. Their wine list is absolutely perfect and not overwhelming.
My husband and I had the artichokes, the crab cake, the trout, and the lobster ravioli; we finished our dinner with the New York Cheesecake. Each and every dish was painstakingly prepared and did not disappoint. Fortunately, we are locals and plan to be back as soon as possible! We wish Chef Nuno much success in this venture!
I came for the burger, and spoiler alert: it did not disappoint. But before I even got to that, I was greeted with one of my greatest joys in life—a biscuit with butter. And let me tell you, this wasn’t just any biscuit. The butter was so good, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were churning it in a closet somewhere like an old-school dairy artisan. It came served in a tiny, fancy butter dish with a lid, like it was too precious to be exposed to the elements. The biscuit itself? Think Red Lobster biscuit, but make it classier—less greasy, more fresh, and completely addicting.
For my starter, I had the Little Gems Salad, which was hands down the prettiest salad I’ve ever seen. I almost felt bad eating it, but that feeling lasted about five seconds because it was just as delicious as it looked.
Now, for the main event—the burger. Since I take burgers very seriously, there was no way I wasn’t ordering this. This is the kind of fancy place where you don’t even bother telling them how you want it cooked because they already know. They serve it at the chef’s perfect temperature, and you just sit there and trust the process. And trust me—it was everything I hoped for. Juicy, flavorful, and totally worth the hype. I tried to swap out the fries for something else, but this place is way too fancy for substitutions, so it was fries or nothing. I went with nothing, which just meant more room for biscuits, so no complaints.
I also have to give a shout-out to the impeccable service. Not only were they attentive without being overbearing, but they replaced the silverware with every course—a detail that my OCD tendencies and love of cleanliness deeply appreciated. Miami has plenty of overpriced restaurants where you get meh food and even worse service, but this place delivers on both. The food was incredible, the staff was top-tier, and the entire experience was well worth the price.
Highly recommended—just don’t be surprised if you leave dreaming about that butter.
The restaurant is quaint and cozy with just a few tables and the bar. The service is smooth and professional, and the vue of the kitchen, where chefs in “toque blanche” prepare your food, gives you that upscale feeling of eating in a Michelin starred restaurant! In addition, the chef owner, Nuno Grullon, will actually check each plate served and will come by your table to check how you liked the food and your overall experience! Great attention that will complement the delighting food and dishe served! Best quality ingredients with each plate so savoring whether it is a beef tartare or lobster ravioli or even a burger!
So yeah, definitely excited about this found, definitely longing to go back, and also looking forward to trying their other venue, uptown66, for what I have heard, are tacos made in heaven 🙂 Congrats Mr Grullon!!
The desserts are more than decent, but the starters and entrées are definitely the highlights. This spot is ideal for a date or for two couples at most—not suited for large groups. The place is small, and finding a table can be challenging. Two can usually walk in, but it’s best to plan ahead.
