Luv, luv, luv the decor in this place! This where Miami meets Jacksonville. Great tapas and cocktails. Brazino is delish. Can't leave without trying the octopus, olives, Brussel sprouts, pork belly and the list goes on and on. Quality service. No complaints at all. Great place to celebrate, take friends, and just enjoy your love's company. I would say prepare for at least $75pp.

5-stars, for sure. Their place is absolutely on Fleek. Valet parking, exquisite decor, and a fire dancing performer all add +++ to the atmosphere. Along with stellar food and attentive staff, they had a great wine selection. We had the bruschetta, a cucumber-tomato salad, Seabass, salmon, and the flambé for dessert. Everything was just perfect. If the prices don't scare you, I would highly recommend, I felt it was totally worth it. *hidden gem*

Absolutely beautiful decor. Art deco meets modern luxe. This is definitely the nicest restaurant in northeast Florida. Mushroom Arancini: A+. Crunchy on the outside and packed with a succulent mushroom flavor on the inside. And the parmesan cream was took the experience to a whole other level. Wild Salmon: A. The salmon was succulent and perfectly cook. The potatoes and spinach were very flavorful. I thought the portion size was perfect. Chicken Roulade: A+.I have to say - this dish was a revelation. The fregola alone was just ridiculously good. And then the chicken blew us away. Service: the waitress was very helpful with the menu.

My first impression is, extraordinary The menu is limited, but still some good options. The sliders were great and the fries, if you like crispy fries you're in the right place. Everybody enjoyed there plates except the pasta w/short ribs. The person who ordered says there was little of the short ribs. The steak was tender and seasoned. Would I go back, no, just not my vibe. Be prepared to turn your wallet inside out at this establishment.
