The restaurant is not new but the chef and decor has been totally redone.
The chef is from NY where he has The Lion and the Waverly Inn
The outdoors was the nicest I've seen in Miami. Right up there with the outdoors of Barton G. They have lots of heaters for somewhat cool nights.

But the best ever was the seating. They were amazingly comfortable couches for each table. It was the most relaxing sitting I ever had at a restaurant and it was still easy to eat. And the entire restaurant was right by the pool. It was the best!
The food was great. The salads and tuna tartar was excellent. Amazingly all 4 of us ordered the chicken, which was great, but I cannot report on the other dishes. The menu was not huge but adequate.
Valet parking was $20 and the bill was $145/couple with only 2 drinks and 1 dessert.
It's a keeper!! Especially on a beautiful night.
8.5/10 based mostly on ambience.
