Pretty relaxed restaurant in a seafood destination zone in Miami. Has good water views and on site market. Prices were on the high side for the quality of food. Overall, worth the visit.When I visited, the Miami Police boat docked right at this place and the officers got out right on off the water directly into their tables, kind of interesting to see.

The place looks cool and it's right next to some very good restaurants but the food is really bad quality. I would never come here again. The fish dip is frothy and yellow, with a fishy flavor but no fish inside. If you look at the pictures, that's a $14 ceviche and $24 fish. See for yourself.

Filthy!I had to ask the server how staffing was because if they were understaffed do to current market conditions I could maybe understand it. Server told me they were fine to which. I said hey not for nothing but the floor is dirty and that table hasn't been cleaned whole time I've been here. I was told it's not his problem.Every single server walked past that table with empty hands and even added to it. Simply lazy. Not what I want to look at when paying over $80 for some stone crab legs.No attention to detail. Management and ownership must have gotten complacent. Plus I was given lemons that either were already used or were so old they looked use.Food was overhyped to spend your money elsewhere.

Wow! Food was great and service was fantastic! We had Marlon (as in Brando) and he was on point! Crab claws were the best on our entire trip! Shrimp bisque was so good! Great experience!

The service was amazing and the place was clean. The food was horrible and I’ll never come again. The grouper was tuff to chew and we had to spit out multiple pieces. Again, the wait staff was very awesome!

Great fresh seafood! We had the fried conch, snapper and grill seafood plater. They were all delicious! The service and ambiance were great. However, the desert was quite disappointing, it is not made at the restaurant, it is more supermarket quality which at this type of restaurants you expect to have a great full experience from beginning to end. Next time we will just go elsewhere for desert after our meal.

La comida rica y variada la atención gentil, el buen servicio y la rapidez, los precios.

Good food served very quickly. Loved the fried oysters the most and our server Valentina was just the best especially explaining all the Cuban coffee choices. We will be back.

So, there was a lot of hype about this restaurant. We gave it a try. We tried the octopus, shrimp and fish. The food was tasty but definitely not worth the cost. Portions were good but service was slow. We waited a long while to get our tab even though we requested it directly from our waiter. What turned me off most was the restaurant itself. The indoor area looks dated and outdoor high chairs were uncomfortable to sit on. The bathrooms, the bathrooms!!!! DIRTY Had I seen them before dinner, I would have left. Doubt I will be back. Sadly, I was looking forward to this experience.

The service is always exceptionally fantastic. Very nice and respectful crowd. Great view of the river. The food and flavor, out of this world.Only restaurant in Miami to give a complimentary fish dip.Best grilled octopus on the river!
