Jass Kitchen Turkish Cuisine

Overall a decent experience. The food was not bad but not special. Mine also came out cold. Our drinks took a lot of time as well. It was not terribly busy either. Now the atmosphere was great. Enjoyed the live jazz and the decor of the restaurant. I had the lamb chops, baklava for desert with a Turkish coffee.

This place made it to become a go to! Food, authentic and delicious. Every bite we tried has its unique flavor. The attention to details, top of the line. The vibe is more traditional from decoration to the serving dishes, the tiny tea cups and fresh brewed tea with that aroma is heavenly. it made my heart happy feeling like I stepped into grandmas home! Not a 5 star service but I understand that it was Sunday brunch and a busy day. It looks more like a family run business and respecting that, will come back for sure. Definitely try the Baklava and Turkish coffee latte.

I had their special of the day, the braised rib. The meat was very moist and tender on one end, but the other end started becoming a bit dry. It may have been from eating the food a bit slowly. Next time, I would like to try the Adana Kebab. The pitas were amazing, especially with the dip that came with it. The restaurant had a quaint vibe with the live jazz music. Recommend making a reservation for this restaurant.

This place was fantastic. My husband and I love Turkish food and the food here was amazing. Their service was a little slow, but not too bad. You enjoyed a kebab and zucchini pancake also, the watermelon salad they have was fantastic. The hummus with the beef on top was so delicious. We tried the baklava, but I can say it wasn't that tasty.

We had a wonderful experience enjoying authentic Turkish cuisine. Each dish was full of flavor, highlighting the rich culinary traditions of Turkey. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, providing the perfect setting for a memorable family gathering. We couldn't have asked for a better time together, and we are already looking forward to our next visit!

This place is very lovely. Great for date nights as well. The food is absolutely fantastic, the ambiance is very classy and cozy, staff members were very friendly & so was the owner! She personally came out to greet my table and ask how our experience was going. They also have beautiful live music.

We stopped specifically for jazz music in the area. Only place that didn't have full reservations and we were so pleased. The service was great from the second we walked through the door. Menue was easy to navigate and our sever Ayoub was personable and knowledgeable, always greeting us with a smile. We had a delightful time.

Most authentic Turkish food in Miami, coming from a Turk. I have never had manti made the way my grandma makes it, and this was the first restaurant to have it anywhere close. All the food was delicious. There was a live musician playing beautiful music - the ambiance was so cozy and comforting. I highly highly recommend!! Especially if you want extremely authentic, homemade Turkish food.

Had a wonderful experience, great food and vibes. I love this place and the staff is really friendly and attentive.

I came here for HH and it did not disappoint! Every single item I tried was 10/10 delicious!! The ambiance was very cozy and cute. It was a small place with a L-shaped bar. The music was good, the service was fantastic, and everyone there just very kind. For Happy Hour they have BOGO drinks and I ordered the Rosé Watermelon Lemonade, delicious! For HH snacks, I got the hummus with ground beef, muhamra, the eggplant, and the garlic shrimp. I'd say my favorite items were the hummus with ground beef and the garlic shrimp. Also if you like spicy, ask for their special spicy spread on the side, so so good!! Can't wait to be back and try their actual menu.

Came here today in the afternoon just before the kitchen was re-opening for dinner service. We were able to kill the wait time for the kitchen to reopen by ordering a Watermelon Lemonade, which was pretty refreshing for the hot day. 20 minutes later, the kitchen was open, and this is where things started to go downhill. We were told for the Hot Mezzes section that Four of the dishes, including two that we had our eyes on, were unavailable. Lunch service must have been crazy packed and the ingredients truck may have been running behind. Given the traffic in Miami today, I wouldn't doubt it. We ordered a Garlic Shrimp platter to start, which was okay given the size of the shrimp and portion to price ratio. The pita they give you though is great for dipping into the garlic sauce. When it came to ordering our main plates, we had to request three different dishes only for our waitress to tell us that the kitchen did not have this dish available. I would like to say a good 3rd of the menu was unavailable, and mind you this is when the kitchen just began to open for dinner service. My significant other was really looking forward to trying the meat platters and all of them were unavailable except for the most expensive one, the skirt steak. What bothered me the most about this is our waitress did not tell us ahead of time which of the main courses were not available like she did with the hot mezzes. And after this experience for the rest of the service, she only came to our table when she thought we would like to order something else. Defeated by this point, We decided to share the Chicken skewers and the block of Feta with Tomato Sauce. For some unknown reason, despite the restaurant only being at half capacity by this point, it took over 45 minutes for these two plates to arrive! The chicken had a nice burnt texture, but all the juices were sucked out of it. The accompanying seasoned rice and broccolini was decent. The feta and tomato we mashed in with more flatbreads. Finally, we had the Baklava with the ice cream. It was good, but the slice of Baklava looked very slim compared to other photos you can find here on Yelp. After my experience here, I wish I had gone back to El Turco instead which is a couple blocks north. That would've saved me from walking into this restaurant at 4:30 and leaving at 7:00 for no good reason...

We randomly found this location while in the area and looking for dinner. Since they are located in a neighborhood, parking was challenging. We ended up parking in the garage and walked over. So I was surprised that we initially could not be seated as they were fully booked at 6pm. No one was seated outside and we were confused. Another young lady approached the hostess table and informed us that we can sit but need to be out by 8:30 when their reservations were due to arrive. Since we went through the hassle of finding parking for 30 minutes we decided to stay. I was shocked to walk into a mostly empty restaurant. We ordered for the table a shared appetizer, entree and cocktails. The chorizo was small circular pieces that did not seem to fit the price point. Both entrees were delicious as were our drinks. Nearing the 8pm mark we found it challenging to locate any server to get the check and be out before the required 8:30. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was well decorated and felt homely. The band and singer were setting up and the place was picking up guests. All in all the food was delicious, however the initial interaction was not pleasant and there are other spaces where I would feel more welcomed.

This place is just sooooo cute! Very small and intimate. My friend and I stayed for 6 hours and just chatted away ! My fav was the beef hummus and the baked feta ! I got the glass off House red and it was delicious. I would skip the clay lamb and opt for the brisket instead.

Amazing food & great service by Valentina. Try the zucchini pancakes & Branzino amazing dish. We had a beautiful experience! Make sure & call to get reservations.

I wanted to get manti but they were out when I went. I liked the clay lamb since you don't see that as commonly in other turkish restaurant in the area. Other dishes were okay. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very cute and spacious. The service was overall good, no complaints.

The food is incredibly delicious, the atmosphere is amazing, and behind it all is a talented and beautiful chef. It's clear that every dish comes from a kitchen where passion, care, and attention to detail are prioritized. I congratulate the chef for both the exquisite dishes and the wonderful ambiance. The combination of rakı and smooth jazz music is a perfect match. You definitely need to try it. Many thanks to the whole team. I will definitely come back.

If I could give this restaurant 10 stars it still wouldn't be enough. We loved our meal from start to finish. We had the artichoke hearts, the beets, and octopus for appetizers. We had the skirt steak, branzino, and chicken shish for dinner. Then finished with baklava and Turkish ice cream for dessert. They were knowledgeable and helpful with gluten free items. There was a saxophone player who played beautifully setting the tone for an intimate evening. I wish we lived closer!! Thank you so much for an amazing night.

Came for Valentine's Day and the food, service and atmosphere were great. A sorely underrated spot that I frankly don't hear enough of. Lamb was fall off the bone and grape leaves were perfect. Will be back soon.

Jass Kitchen is an incredible spot! The food was outstanding, and the live jazz music added a magical touch to the evening. Beril, our host, was so kind and attentive, making us feel right at home. It's the perfect place for a delightful dining experience paired with soulful music. Can't wait to visit again!

I had brunch here last Sunday with some friends, one of whom is Turkish. Coincidentally, the manager or server happened to be from the same area of Ankara that she is from, so we had a great connection! I'll get the negative out of the way first... PARKING! There isn't any, and Jass is on a residential block with residential zoned parking. We were there on Sunday, so there was limited free parking in a lot across the street, but I don't think that's available on weeknights (not sure; YMMV). I actually drove around a bunch and then gave up and parked five blocks away in front of a rental property I own nearby. We had a reservation but it wasn't needed - the restaurant was only about half full. We got great attention and service... friends brought a bottle of bubbly and I don't know what the corkage was, but the restaurant put it in an ice bucket for us and kept the glasses filled. We ordered the scallion pancake, the Turkish breakfast and some simit (Turkish "bagel"). A savory pastry filled with something was also brought to the table, although we didn't order it and weren't charged for it. The verdict on the food: The scallion pancake was "just like in Turkey" - I've never been to Turkey, but I absolutely will take the native's word for it, and it was DELICIOUS! The simit was perfect, warm, crusty on the outside, chewy on the inside. Just delightful; I ate WAY too much of it! The Turkish breakfast was good... we had to ask for the hardboiled eggs, which were seasoned perfectly. It came with a lot of small bites of things, such as feta, apricots in honey, nutella, sweet and savory pastries. It was a good overview; the Turk in our group thought it was average as far as Turkish breakfasts go. I would probably order one dedicated thing next time after previewing the options! The service was attentive although not overly friendly. The interior was lovely; there was plenty of room between tables so it didn't feel crowded. It was a cool and blustery day but the outdoor tables were filled with people enjoying "winter". I am definitely looking forward to coming back for dinner!

Absolutely looooved my friends birthday dinner here. They had live singers and drummer doing covers and really getting the crowd involved. It's an intimate experience, dimly lit but busy and full on a Friday night at 9p. We sat by the window and had a great view of the place, which is one large dining room with a bar area. Our server was dealing with multiple large parties but still didn't write down a single one of our orders, got everything by memory and it was all correct. And we were about 11 people. The food was delicious, we loved the hummus starter with meat, it tasted so authentic and flavorful, the seasonings were out of this world. They had to bring us another basket of pitas we were going innn. I shared the churrasco entree with my friend and it was also yummy, i really liked the appetizers the most though they were so unique. The tabbouleh salad was so light and refreshing. The whole vibe was great and they also offer a free baklava with a Yelp check in! Score. Will definitely be back

I would love to say I tried Jess kitchen but I stopped by on a Friday around 5-6pm and there was barely anyone there. I was told they don't have any tables available while 90% of the restaurant was empty. Not sure if we were turned away because we were with my 1 yr old but it just seemed odd. We live in the neighborhood and were looking for a quick bite to eat but we weren't even offered take out.

Omg! One of my best dining experiences in Miami! Parking is across the street is super convenient, comfortable seating, clean bathroom, super nice staff, cozy environment, the singer was great, the music playing before was good and not too loud.. now let's talk about the food- amazing! I will describe on each of my pictures.. all appetizers were to die for! I don't have a a picture of the pancake but it was delicious. Service was very good. They brought out dessert for my bf birthday and remembered the candle- going back and you should too!

Everyone loved the food, we went for a birthday celebration and it was a perfect choice, the live music mixed with the decor and ambiance was great for the night.

Wonderful service, delicious food and sweet local gem vibes. Probably better and a better value than Mandolin. Will definitely be back!

Perfect place for date night! This is one of the most romantic places I've been to in Miami, it's dark, with candles and jazz music. On top of that service was amazing and food was delicious. My husband and I shared a few appetizers but the best of all was the octopus, so tasty! For desert, i got a free baklava for checking in with yelp! So make sure to check in for some delicious desert if you read this review.

This is a hidden gem! It's intimate, romantic and upscale with live jazz and the food is phenomenal! My date and I started off with the Muhammara (roasted red peppers, walnuts, pomegranate molasses and Turkish spices) and pita bread. Highly recommend it!! I had the skirt steak which was tender and cooked perfectly medium rare, came with baked potato wedges and asparagus. Yummy! My absolute favorite of the night was (of course) my dates Oven Baked Branzino. It was heavenly!! The Branzino melts in your mouth, the seasoning was flavorful but not overpowering...deliciousness The live jazz band, soft lighting, excellent service and amazing food!! Great date night! Definitely will be back!

Food: I tried the hummus with ground beef- it is sooo tasty and great portion to share. Comes with soft crunchy pita - perfect! We also ordered the garlic shrimp 10/10!! Must try! Devoured in seconds hence no photo haha Last thing we tried was clay pot lamb- I would say the bread was delicious, it has eggplant and lamb, quantity was great, I wish the lamb had slightly more flavor. Overall, I would go back and get the apps forsure! Ill be back to try the lamb chops! Live music to top off your cute date night! Service was amazing, loving and very home feel!

Stumbled into a beautiful hidden gem today at Jass kitchen. Somehow ended up right in front of the beautiful live music jazz duo for a front row experience. Inside was very charming. A lot of great care went into curating the unique and warm vibe. They took risks with the real candle light and fresh flowers, and it paid off and was appreciated. I even liked the ceiling style and the hanging artwork. Service was excellent. Everyone was working very hard and supporting each other. Dishes were clearly explained. Water re poured constantly. Food came out at good pacing and never once did I feel rushed. Food was superb. I will be back for the clay lamb pot and then back again for the same. In between, I will probably dream about it. It was incredibly fresh and tender. The brioche bread hit the spot. Fantastic. Great flavoring and quality. The muhammara was very fresh... you could taste the natural red pepper. Likewise on the baklava! To be really honest, the food was outstanding and reminded me of the food quality I got at a nice restaurant in Turkey. That alone is a hard feat to pull off and yet they knocked it out of the park with the ambiance, live music, and service to exceed expectations as well. This was a very easy five star review. I highly recommend and hope to return soon.

Great food, nice decor and site, staff was wonderful, had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, salad and charred eggplant, all delicious. Prompt and pleasant service.

Love this place. Talented chef owner + gorgeous atmosphere + delicious food + high quality Jazz !!

Cozy restaurant with live music and great food. Great for couples, families and friends

A cool restaurant with a live jazz band. Great range of dishes that cater to a range of dietary needs including vegetarian and gluten-free. Dishes were all delicious, made with fresh ingredients and tasted authentic. The service left a lot to be desired though, the staff were really quite slow and inattentive. One critique of the food was that the potatoes served with the main dishes were extremely salty.

So a gf of mine wanted to check this restaurant out for her BD. When she told me it's a Turkish restaurant I said yes!! Turkish is one of my favorite & best restaurants are in Patterson NJ & NYC! Everything is outstanding in this restaurant but I'll be honest the prices our way high. So it will be just a 'special' treat when I go back.

Jasskitchen review Oh wow OMG what an amazing awesome magnificent place! The culinary experience is complete: Each dish is a masterpiece, every flavor is balanced, rich, delicious. Every time we go to Jass Kitchen we are sure that we will have a journey to delightful and unforgettable combination of taste. Additionally to this, main subject of the experience, the service is super kind and joyful. The ambiance and mood were beautifully curated, decoration and music perfectly combined. Thank you Jasmine for sharing your culinary talent with us. Thanks to all of the Jass Kitchen for your kind and sweet service.

We love this place. The food is excellent, the service is always good and friendly. Best of all is the performers. They are so talented and make for a memorable evening. You would expect for the performance to be very loud but it's not. It's just the right volume where you can still talk to your date. We have been there three times and each time we have had an excellent time. The only miss was with the clay lamb dish on our last visit. This time they changed it to lamb shank and it just wasn't as good. Maybe we just got one that just wasn't right.. still love this place and can't wait to go back.

This is one of the most romantic restaurants in Miami We went here for valentines day and they had live music. They played every 30 mins which I thought it was perfect that way you can still have a conversation while dinning. Just a note: there is a $20 per person fee for live music. We gave a big tip not knowing that there was already a fee. However totally worth it. The food at this Turkish restaurant has a wide range of options, offering an amazing culinary experience. However, we felt disappointed as they didn't have eggplant available, a dish we were hoping to try. Our server, Fulia, added a wonderful touch to our dining experience with her friendly and attentive service. Definitely a place I will go back!

Beautiful establishment, with live music and great food! This hidden establishment in buena vista is a lovely place for a date night, for those who love live music, and for a group of friends. The food was good, I wouldn't say is out of this world, but the live music and vibe makes up for it. We really enjoyed alll the dips which flavors were unique and flavorful.

From the moment we walked in, Beril, made sure this was a memorable experience. Overall, this was one of the best meals we have had in 2023! The service, the atmosphere and the food were all phenomenal. Loved the vibe here with live jazz and just a warm welcoming feel. The food was off the charts! We started with the hummus - incredible. Garlic shrimp - wow! The Greek salad with this amazing dressing....The skirt steak which was so incredibly tender and perfectly cooked medium rare. You didn't need it but wow that chimichurri was A+++ DO NOT MISS the Clay Lamb, what an experience! The baklava is a must to finish off this meal. Beril, thank you again for making this such a memorable evening. We will be back!

Great place for dinner. Cozy ambiance, with great music and amazing service. The red sangria and the spreads are on another level.

I adored Jass Kitchen. I am I'm awe that it is still a hidden gem in the Miami food scene. We came on a Saturday and had reservations and I will say almost all the tables inside and outside were full. The food was spectacular and the ambiance matched. When you walk in you're greeted with what feels like a cozy eclectic living room. The mismatched chairs and the exposed brick make it feel comfortable and inviting. Also, the fact that they have live music really elevated the dining experience. While we were there the band did mostly covers of RnB and pop songs. They did a lovely job of setting a vibe. (Well worth the $10 charge for the music added to our bill-per person.) Our waiter, Johnny, was so sweet and gave great recommendations. We ordered the grilled shrimp, salmon, and the lamb clay pot. All were amazing. The shrimp was my favorite it was garlicky and grilled to perfection. The jasmine rice was so buttery and fluffy it just leaves you wanting more. The clay lamb pot was a total experience. Lamb baked in a fluffy pot pie top manner with veggies in like a stew. Everyone in our party was so happy with the experience we were already deciding a date for when we would be back at the end of our dinner; and we had a hard time getting up from the table to go home because we were having so much fun.

Love this place. Quaint and cozy with front row seats to some banging live music. Food was very flavorful, freshly prepared and very filling. We started with the tabouleh salad which was boasting with flavor. We shared this dish as an appetizer and it was plenty. I had the branzino which came out piping hot and opted to add on some sauces because I like spice. They gave me a hot sauce which is likely 100% the trending TRUFF truffle hot sauce. I brought some home to taste side by side because I just had to satisfy my theory - I was right. Pricey night - 3 entrees, 1 salad, 2 glasses of wine, 2 watermelon lemonades came out to $280. I didn't have the chimichurri steak but I was a very small portion and I don't think it was very wowing for the tag. The experience as a whole was enough for me to want to return.

I'm so excited to have this new Turkish place in the neighborhood! The food is excellent and I actually knew our server from another Turkish restaurant with good food (Safron grill on the beach, which seems to have the same soft pita). The decor really sets it apart from most Mediterranean restaurants with live music really taking it to another level. My fiancée swears the Turkish breakfast was on par with her favorite places in Istanbul and I couldn't find a single dish that wasn't bursting with flavor. The street parking is the only negative I can think of and isn't bad compared to trying to park in Brickell or Midtown.

Came for the delicious Turkish food and so enjoyed it. North of the Design district, The beautiful decor, service was five stars! presentation and flavor of most of the dishes were top-notch. Standouts: were the appetizer medley sampler(homemade fresh hummus, crushed beets, and their house made it Taziki sauce with warm fresh pita bread=heaven), clay lamb, inside of a brioche bread that they cut open for you was so savory tender absolutely mouthwatering delicious will be back just for this dish alone! Bc I shared with 6 others! Also, ordered the chicken skewers, subtle flavor, tender. Tasty, with warm jasmine rice was delicious. Also got the zucchini pancake with halloumi and topped with a fresh garlicky soft greek yogurt. Loved the flavors, not overpowering. The highlight was the dessert: it was the pistachio baklava my God filled with ice cream I can't even tell you again I only had a small piece because we had to share amongst seven other people, getting my own next time. Jazz Music was a little jarring, not the romantic ballad that was advertised but all in all it was a great experience. One final note and a little bit of a disappointment was the basque cheesecake (it wasn't terrible, but it felt like it had been in the refrigerator and had just been taken out (it was like a NY style cheesecake, hard and cold not soft and like a mousse that you expect this type of dessert to be, noteworthy: the chocolate sauce on the outside was delicious but the baklava is the outstanding dessert!

Upon entry, Jass Kitchen makes you feel right at home. The host and servers are kind and attentive. The eclectic, charming decor, warm ambiance, and live music make you feel like you're dining in the comfort of your own living room. After lighting a candle for the table, our server went over the menu and shared suggestions. I opted for the lamb and rice pilaf, which was a generous portion packed with flavor. The meat fell right off the bone. To finish we ordered the pistachio rolls and rose tea. Cant wait to return and experience the inviting ambiance!

Love this place! Great food, service and they had music. Beril was amazing! Food was delicious! So fresh and tasty! Definitely would recommend!

Omg, everything was fantastic but the Branzino won my heart! I love the grilled lemon on top, and eggplant and tomato. My friend had the ravioli which I liked a lot but I wish they still had the lamb skewers instead of clay pot. Also the appetizers trio was incredible. Red peppers and beet root were my favs. Baclava and cheesecake great too. The music was incredible!

Probably one of the most underrated spots in Miami. Jass Kitchen, a Turkish inspired restaurant located in design district is an experience you won't want to miss out on. I checked it out for the first time last Thursday and fell in love instantly. If you're a lover of romantic, home-y vibes like I am this is truly a gem you'll love. With live jazz music playing all night love, delicious homemade Turkish bites and a beautiful wine selection, I wish I can give it more than 5 stars. Here's what I ordered: - mante dumplings - lamb chops - Turkish sampler - carrot baklava Everything was spectacular! Mante dumplings are a must! The lamb chops were cooked to perfection and tender and the sampler was filled with flavor and authentic. Don't sleep on this spot, and save it to your must-try list, trust me!

Happy hour is great!! $5 cold mezzes (minus the cheese platter). Buy one get one free drinks. Awesome live music. Cool decor. Service is nice. They were busy so took some time to get extra pita bread lol but it's ok. Would definitely go back.

The food and service is amazing!!! One of the best places to eat breakfast is Miami. No complaints or problems whatsoever.

This is the perfect date night or dinner with the girls kind of place. Service is always great, friendly and timely. The FLAVORS- just WOW. I recommend the hummus with ground beef, the baked Brie, the branzino and the lamb cooked in clay pot. The pistachio baklava was one of the best I've had! I've been there twice, and look forward to my next visit. Oh and the MUSIC! Incredible! Talented artists with beautiful voices, truly sets the tone. You almost forget you're in Miami, in the best way. You have to check it out!

Food was amazing. We had the adani kebab and the lamb and doner sandwiches. Very juicy and delicious. Def recommend.

It's always great seeing an old favorite location come back to life with a new energy, a new vibe! So is the case with the old location of The District, reborn as Jass Kitchen! With its live jazz music on the weekend (a great play on the owner's name) there's a great spot for Turkish and Mediterranean food in the Wynwood / Design District area.. I saw the work on the renovation driving by a few months back, and am glad it finally opened. Coming from the full moon party, I was in casual wear and was still welcomed to eat inside. Jasmine and her staff were very attentive and pleasant. Although I didn't get a response first in calling the restaurant, Jasmine did call back and assured me that even though it was near closing time they would still welcome me. I appreciate that level of dedicated service! They have a variety of warm and cold mezze, which I started with the hummus and stuffed grape leaves. The grape leaves had a delicious citrusy tang, garnished with a lemon and packed with other tasty yums. Similarly, i also enjoyed the hummus with its subtle blend of spices. Medium well as I requested, the skirt steak was a generous portion of juicy and aromatic cuts.Crispy brocoolini spears and a handful of baked potato pieces rounded out the flavor. Although they didn't have moscato, their attentive and friendly bartender helped me to select a perfectly light rose. Coupled with the fluffy crispy peanut butter base Anatolian Pavlova and its filling with cream and fresh fruit, it makes for a great closing.

It's my first time and I found the ambiance to be perfect for a Sunday Breakfast. The restaurant gave it a very homey, welcoming feeling. All my questions were answered regarding ingredients and the new flavors my palette was indulging in. First time I have Turkish coffee and it hit the spot to close the wonderful experience. Thank you for such great and friendly attention.

Wonderful! Food is amazing . Live musician is awesome we came on Sunday . I recommend the Brie cheese !

I went to Jass kitchen to celebrate my partner and mother's birthday. It has great reviews and a good location by the Design District so I made a reservation. The restaurant is really beautiful. Very nice decor everywhere, even the bathrooms. The chandeliers are a nice touch, and ceiling is painted as well. The menu is an array of nice and appetizing Mediterranean dishes. There are no cocktails, only wine and beer. The only beer is Heineken and the wine menu is lacking. They serve Seaglass, Concha y Toro and other inexpensive wines at a very expensive price. We sampled the sangria but it was a bit too sweet so we stuck to just water. We ordered the zucchini pancake and kopoglu to start. The pancake was tasty, a little cold but good flavor. I couldn't really taste the halloumi in it so maybe it diced within the pancake. The kopoglu is potato, eggplant, zucchini, tomato sauce, and garlic yogurt. Unfortunately, it was cold and bland. We kindly sent it back. The server brought a fresh batch a few minutes later as compliments from the chef. Still, there was something lacking. The veggies were a bit soggy and the flavor was lacking but at least it was warm. For the entree I ordered the salmon that came with baked potato and broccolini. I imagined a baked potato for some reason but it was 3 tiny slivers of sliced potato that I guess were baked. The broccolini was really tasty, as was the tiny bit of potato. The salmon had good flavor at first bite, a bit over cooked. I was never asked how I wanted the salmon cooked. I am usually asked in restaurants how I would like the salmon. So overall the flavor of the dish was great until I started biting into salmon pin bones. I found one and kept eating thinking it was just one that was missed but ended up finding 5 pin bones. I didn't feel comfortable eating the salmon at the point. The server asked if everything was okay and we informed her and showed her what happened. I've never had so many pin bones, if any, while ordering filleted salmon at a restaurant. She asked if maybe we wanted the branzino and I said it was okay. A few minutes later she brought garlic shrimp from the chef. I'm not a big shrimp fan but still tried it and it has good flavor. The music started at 7pm and there were two talented musicians, singing and playing guitar. A nice show and refreshing to see in Miami. Overall, the restaurant is beautiful and has a lot of potential. The wine/beer list could use an improvement as could some of the dishes. My mom enjoyed her steak dish, the only complaint was how small the portion was for her, which I felt with my sides for the salmon dish. Staff is mostly nice. I know we had a few mishaps so that never helps with service but our server was mostly kind, she seemed a bit annoyed at times. Again, can't blame her but we also did not enjoy having to send back two dishes. I look forward to the development of the restaurant and appreciate the chef's attempt by sending the dishes to try.

Nice ambiance and jazz ensemble. Everything we ordered was delicious and shareable. There is plenty of metered parking along N.E. 2nd Ave. Service was slow, pack your patience.
