Reserved and arrived for pre-theater dinner at 6:30. Chose to sit outside. Pros: Good ambiance, good choices on fixed menu, initially responsive service, and just so nice not to have to park twice for a theater evening. Cons: Menu said "pan seared mahi mahi" so we confirmed with server there was nothing that would give my highly gluten-sensitive friend a problem. When mine arrived I was disappointed to find it was breaded and pan sautéed (and had clearly been sitting for awhile and re-warmed); server had arranged to get my friend a specially prepared plate, but did not offer the same for me. She also forgot the sauce for my friend (I had said I didnt want it). Then server was "sure" that friend could eat the chocolate mousse dessert but we urged her to check with the chef - and she came back saying yes, it had gluten. We then had to finally get up and chase her to give us the bill - got out of there at 7:50. I will go back but I will ask a lot of questions about the menu before ordering, and ask for the bill with dessert.

I tried one hour before the show at the arts. We were told an empty table was for reservations only and they were waiting for the people to show. I understood and went to the bar area to try to get something and the bartender was talking to me to get my order and the manager, I think his man was Sal told him that the kitchen was closing so he couldnt take my order. Then another couple who was sitting he said it was okay to take their order but not mine. We were then referred to walk to Burger King or subway. When I asked the manger, Sal, he said "what do you want me to do" (rudely) the kitchen wants to close! We go to the shows all the time and now know we have to eat prior!

The place was very nice in appearance and the service was good. Our server, Jasmine, was very polite. However, the food was not very satisfying. My husband had the Mahi and it was very dry and over cooked. I had the Churrascho which was good but the side of Brussel SproutS were so salty I could not eat them. I was also brought french fries which I did not order. The meals were a flat price and would have been fine if the quality of the food was good. Needless to say we will not be returning to this establishment.

The manager offered to pick any table, we decided to sit outside, in front of the cafe, were told that a server will be sent over soon. After waiting for service for 10 minutes went inside and tried to get attention of the stuff. They promised to send a server right away again, still nothing happened, no one even brought us menus. Looks like they dont care about their guests. Another place with a typical Miami-style crappy service!

Made reservations for dinner. Called an hour prior to confirm. When we arrived there was a sign on the door saying there was an issue in the kitchen and they were closed. When we asked the host what happen he told us we should go eat at the Hilton down the road. We were never called and notified. No one ever apologized for the inconvenience of traveling all the way there to be turned away. Terrible service.

I was there the other night for happy hour. The food is great. Staff is very friendly. Felt like I was in a neighborhood bar. Drink specials are excellent. Missing a TV to watch sports events. Especially now with Copa America in the USA.

I was excited to see Books and Books after the performance, to only be greater with rudeness for simply asking a question. Shame on you Victor. Still bought the item, but not what I expected at all.

Great lunch menu, superior food, great service and a good value all in one. Previously location was just off Lincoln Rd. Conveniently located on the Western tip of Miami Beach.
