If I could put 10 stars, i would. Franco made our experience one to remember! I was on my bachelorette weekend with my 7 girls, and when we ordered, Franco got our vibe and told us he would curate something special just for us…needless to say, the food looked, smelled, and according to all the ladies tasted INCREDIBLE! He also was able to curate tasty drinks that went perfectly with our meal not on the menu.
We had two allergies at the table- me (dairy, nuts, sesame, and gluten) and another girl with celiac. Franco worked diligently to come up with something creative for us to eat and he really did a phenomenal job. Additionally, he had a list of recommendations for us to go out to after dinner. By the end of the night he was our best friend and took a photo with us for the memory!! If anyone needs a fun, beautiful, and delicious restaurant, PLEASE go here, and ASK FOR FRANCO! 🤍 also could not agree more with the comment below, does this place have a Michelin recommendation, cause if not, lets get that going!!
thank you Franco!! We miss you already!
We had the grand buffet breakfast and found it faultless! Our server, Bunga took the best care of us and made some recommendations as well as bringing a little water for our puppy who was in a carrier. From The oat milk latte, to chia coconut pudding and gluten free muffins and excellent egg white and whole egg omelets. The fruit is fresh and the papaya was the best I've ever had! Brunch includes bottled water and unlimited Bellini and mimosas - the Bellini was perfect! Also excited to find congee and Singapore noodles.
Definitely the best breakfast value in South Beach!
This is by far my favorite restaurant in Miami. The staff is incredibly attentive (I dropped my chopsticks and they came with an extra set before I could even pick them up, they held doors open and were so kind). Besides that the food was so yummy, and they made sure to adhere to the restrictions of my gluten free siblings. The ambience is stunning with outside seating and not too much noise. The manager came by to our table and made sure we were enjoying the dinner. Overall incredible experience.
AK was such an awesome server. We are gluten free and he guided us through the menu beautifully and helped us select items and was not shy to recommend the house favorites. We ordered about 6 different dishes to share between 3 of us and it was beautiful thoughtfully prepared food. Excellent savory experience - in every way. We are so grateful to AK for being such a kind, lovely and attentive server.

The price is comparable to the quality. Everything was absolutely delicious and so well balanced. Above all our server, Matthew D was exceptional and made it one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve had. Very gluten friendly options and fantastic cocktails too.
Incredible experience. Every dish was extremely well done and absolutely delicious. I have a gluten allergy and they were able to make several dishes gluten free. I will 100% be back on my next trip to Miami.
Very pleasant, with great service from everyone, especially Jessy, who recommended which dishes were gluten-free and constantly made sure our stay was enjoyable. The dishes were very tasty, a little lacking in cheese, and the drinks were passable, though very small. The soy sauce was too salty. I would eat there again.
The sushi here is pretty good, and I appreciated the special wrapper for the hand rolls that keeps the seaweed dry. It was unfortunate that my to-go order took nearly 30 minutes to prepare, as I had to stare at this disgusting greasy box that for some reason is right in the front of their restaurant, and looks like it’s been there forever. The place needs a deep clean and facelift. Also would be nice if they labeled menu items gluten free or not - a lot items contain “crunch,” likely tempura.
