Food itself was excellent. What was extremely disappointing was portion sizes. $120+ per person (including wine) and we all left hungry. We actually went somewhere else afterwards to get more food. Everything was really tasty. But our server said we would have plenty (and even recommended to cut down on one of our appetizers). This was BEFORE we added an additional main. And we were still hungry at the end. Not really a good outcome. There’s a huge mismatch between price/quantity.

Best restaurant in downtown. Deme is an incredible chef.
Yeah of course, this is a good place to visited!
Outstanding culinary experience in a low key locale. My favorite dining experience in Miami
From the first moment you enter this restaurant the waiters give you a great feeling. Very comfortable waiters, it is a friendly restaurant to pass time with buddies or with your date. Great cuisine, talented chef, good pay and generous service. Highly recommended.
I tried this spot once with my friend and I am addicted ever since. I loved the great character and fresh dishes and drinks. Keep up the good work.
NIU Kitchen is currently operating out of their sister restaurant, Arson. The restaurant is on the smaller side with about 10 tables, but they do have outdoor seating. The menu seems to have a large # of options, but when you drill into the plates, they do not have too much variety. We tried asking for recommendations for food, so the server spit out like 10 different dishes he recommended in rapid fire order so we only caught like 3 of them. When we asked about the wine options, they had run out of almost all the red wines by the glass and he couldnt recommend one that they did have available- it just wasnt very helpful and made our ordering experience less pleasant than it could have been.The highlight of our meal was a delicious octopus carpaccio, which came atop what tasted like hummus with some lemon flavoring. The chicken canelloni-type dish (forgot the name) was a cheesy, creamy, shredded chicken served in a skillet. It was a hearty dish with some nice flavors, although I got a few chunks of chicken that took away from the dish a little. Next was the artichoke side, which felt like eating a dip with a spoon (creamy artichoke + pieces of artichoke were in each spoonful)- it sounds nice, but it was anticlimactic. To close out, I ordered the sponge cake upon receiving our last dish, and it still took 20 minutes to come to our table. Once we got to try it, I learned it was not at all like the olive oil cakes i've tried elsewhere- this one was a bit on the drier side, which they seemed to try to mask by drenching it with chocolate sauce. The other 2 dessert options sounded tasty, so maybe we just didnt choose wisely. ??♀️All in all, the food was hit or miss, and the service was not very friendly.
The meals and service were ahead of my expectations. I absolutely loved the environment of this place. Superb restaurant to take the family out for dinner.
I eat here a lot since I work in the area. I love how the customer service is always excellent and they keep the spot clean all the time. Pricing is reasonable and they serve large portions.
