Secret Sichuan Wings and Other Miami Restaurant Openings This Month | Eater Miami

"Across from the Deering Estate, the former neighborhood ‘Cheers’ known as Snowdon’s has been revitalized as Old Cutler Inn, now serving wood-fired American fusion classics—think wahoo fish dip, Korean barbecue short rib, and flatiron steak frites—alongside craft cocktails and the friendly spirit locals loved." - Laine Doss

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here last night. We had the pasta, conch fritters, Cobb salad, and Mac and cheese. All the food was great and service was prompt. Love the patio and bar area. Cocktails were also good as was the wine selection. We will be visiting again and hope they consider adding a weekend brunch.

We had high expectations for Old Cutler Inn. The place is charming, small but cozy inside. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t match our expectations. The food was just average, not bad but nothing memorable. The real issue was the extremely slow service. It took over 40 minutes to receive a simple bowl during a Sunday lunch at noon, and the restaurant wasn’t even full. I shared my disappointment with the waiter and the manager applied a discount, which was appreciated, but never came to the table to apologize or acknowledge the delay. They definitely need to improve their systems and service. Overall, there wasn’t anything compelling enough, food or service, to make us want to return. The discount was a nice gesture, but we weren’t there for a bargain; we were hoping for a pleasant Sunday lunch.

Old Cutler Inn is a fresh addition to the Cutler Bay area, giving locals something they’ve been craving: craft drinks and inventive cocktails. Since it’s a new spot, I’m willing to give it another shot as they’re probably still finding their rhythm. We couldn’t snag a reservation but got lucky with bar seating. Our bartender was fantastic, and the cocktails were on point. You can tell the owners poured a lot of heart into the place, and aesthetically, it’s very pleasant. That said, the food and overall service could use some improvement. Most of our dishes arrived at room temperature. We were excited about the bread section, but the rolls needed more butter to truly shine. The French onion soup, however, was excellent! Oysters were slightly shelly but still enjoyable. We ordered the steak and frites medium rare, but it came out extremely rare. I had to send it back—my first time doing so—and was surprised when they recooked the same steak, leaving the fries cold. We also had a minor hiccup with clearing our plates, which felt a bit awkward. Desserts were just okay, and the espresso martini didn’t hit the mark (I don’t think they used real coffee), but the White Pearl cocktail was phenomenal. Overall, I’d give Old Cutler Inn a second chance. If you’re considering visiting, give them a little time to iron out the kinks. For cocktails and small bites, I’m definitely coming back.

We didn’t have a reservation, but the host was able to seat us quickly, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the service went downhill from there. It took about 10 minutes for our waiter to greet us, and another 10 minutes just to get water and place our drink order. The kitchen seemed to be experiencing delays or issues—our food took a long time to arrive, and when it did, it was underwhelming. The Korean BBQ short rib was a generous portion, but it was very dry. The pork schnitzel, on the other hand, was decent. The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy, and it looked like they had a full staff, yet the service was incredibly slow. Throughout the meal, no one checked on us for additional drinks or water, which made the experience even more frustrating. Even had to wait a long time to get the check and pay when there were only a handful of tables left. Would definitely not recommend…

Absolutely AMAZING! Staff was super friendly and welcoming, the waiter was very well educated on the menus and drinks. Food came out quickly and the taste was amazing. Food presentation matched the vibe and quality of the restaurant. Literally dreaming of going back soon for another passion fruit ceviche. The restaurant is beautifully designed and a great spot for the entire family! We did not have a reservation and the hostess was able to accommodate us. My husband and I are looking forward to another date night at Old Cutler Inn!

Kevin was our server and he was super friendly. The bartenders made some fantastic cocktails, my favorite was the guava margarita. All the food came out delicious, between my friends and I we tried 8 different plates and nothing disappointed. I’m so excited this place opened up down the street from my house.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while. I’ve had three friends who visited and none of them liked it. Not a good sign, but I like to try things for myself. I came here with my daughter on a Monday evening at 6pm. They were already booked. The dining room is very small. The restaurant looks bigger from the outside than it is inside. There were two seats at the bar though, so we sat there. The bartender was very nice and friendly. We shared a White Pearl drink. It was very good. It usually comes with truffle in it, but the bartender asked if we wanted to add it and we decided to try the drink without it. It was pretty strong so kudos to the bartender. For dinner we shared the 6 oysters. I ordered the BBQ wings. It comes with 6 wings to an order. My daughter ordered the spicy vodka Lumanche. The oysters were great! My wings were delicious! The pasta however was not good. It was VERY bland. They really need to adjust their sauce. It tasted like nothing (but a little spicy). There was no salt and no acidity to it. We asked the bartender for some salt and added it, but it really didn’t make any difference. It was a pretty good size order and my daughter took home her leftovers. We ran into a friend there and went to say hi. She said, “This place sucks!” I really want this place to succeed, but they HAVE to get the food together! People don’t want to pay $30 for pasta that doesn’t have any flavor, after paying $10 to park there. Our bill was $100 after tip. They need to either lower their prices or make the food worth the cost. Otherwise they will never have any return business. Once everyone has tried it, they’ll be the last time they come. Fire your chef and get the food where it needs to be if you don’t want to go out of business.

My family and I dined at the Old Cutler Inn recently and we had a wonderful experience. The food was amazing, service was great, and atmosphere was very relaxing. We shared several appetizers, all of which were amazing, but my favorites were the Korean barbecue short rib and salmon. I ordered the fillet, which was full of flavor and very tender. I’m definitely going back to try other dishes!

Amazing new spot with great cocktails, food, and service. Matthew the manager even remembered me when I came back! Love this place. Still thinking about my Cobb salad!

The restaurant is quite nice, especially the patio area where we dined. The wait staff was very professional and helpful. The food was good, although the menu is very limited, and expensive. (We were aware of this going in as we had viewed the menu online). However to our shock, and utter dismay, when the bill came, which exceeded $150 for two, we noticed an added charge of $1.50 for a few extra packets of saltines we requested with our fish dip (we heard also that there is additional charge for extra butter with your bread). We will not go back to, or recommend to anyone., a restaurant that "nickel and dimes" its customers.

This is such a well-located restaurant for us, but the truth is, we are just not sure about this place. We ordered the Korean short rib, which we had seen in prior reviews was massive and we'd been told it was big enough to feed two people. And for $65, that made sense. But ours was an average sized restaurant portion. The size definitely much smaller than the picture we saw from prior patrons. And mostly bone and fat. For me, it was big enough to split (I only ever eat half of my dish anyway), but my husband came home and ate more. And it was good but definitely not $65-good. I would definitely not recommend that. $8 for bread rolls? Come on, guys. Just... no. No kids menu, so our kids got a plain flat bread, no toppings. This is definitely not a kid-friendly place which is crazy considering it's in a family neighborhood. I hope they work on this. I will say all the cocktails I've tried have been great, but my husband was disappointed with the beer selection. The chocolate cake was not good. The skillet cookie was amazing. In short, we'd like to give this place another shot but we are not in a rush to rerun. I hope they can improve. We really do want to love this place.

I've been excited for this restaurant to open, and just went for the first time. It did not disappoint! We arrived right on time for our reservation and we were seated right away, even though it was otherwise packed. I loved the decor and ambiance. The food was great! We started with the fish dip which was smoky and fresh. I had the flatiron steak frites which was perfectly cooked, and had a yummy sauce. Hubby got the schnitzel which was humongous and tasted great. My FIL loved his French onion soup and prime rib French dip. Kiddo got the smashie burger, but with all the fixings on the side and devoured it. We finished the meal off with the chocolate cake... So good, there wasn't a crumb left! Oh and my passion fruit cocktail was delicious, too. One thing to note is that the parking lot is small. The valet had us do a quick loop around the lot to see if there were any free spots. There weren't, so we ended up valeting. You can request your car electronically, which we did when paying the bill, so our car was waiting for us when we walked out. Very convenient. Will definitely be back!

We walked in with a 7pm reservation, we arrived a little early so we were seated on time. However, come 7:35 we still don't have anyone come to the table to greet us or even offer us water. We went for my brother's birthday and around 7:45 he went in to speak to the hostess, some minutes later the server arrived. He took our drink order and appetizers. My sparkling water and my dad's beer took forever to come out and then the server finally took our food order. Around 20 minutes after the food order was placed, he comes out to let me know that they don't have my order, the Spicy Vodka pasta at the moment. At this time, I'm upset because I am notified when everyone else is close to receiving their food. He tells me that the manager will come out to speak with me. The manager comes out some minutes later, and he does not apologize for the delay any of us have gone through and just asks me what I want instead. I'm a vegetarian and the options are extremely limited, by this point I'm not even hungry anymore but I order the flatbread anyways in case I'm hungry when it comes out. When the entrees for everyone else come out, they're cold. I ordered the chili crunch broccolini and as you can see by the picture there was no chili crunch only sea salt on them, and super cold, definitely not worth the $8 price tag as they had no flavor. The lasagna (both orders) were super cold, my brother said that it was okay. My sister in law stated that the steak wasn't that great and it was also cold. The flatbread was comped which was nice, but after waiting that long, no apologies and getting all the entrees cold, I would have expected a little more. The best part of the meal was the bread rolls, which you also have to pay for. After looking forward to this restaurant opening, it was extremely disappointing from the food to the service from the server AND the manager. I was expecting a lot more.

Tried this new restaurant and it was amazing! Although it was pretty busy when we went, our service was still really good and our server was helpful with recommendations. The French onion soup was so delicious, probably my new favorite! I also got their spicy vodka pasta and it was delicious but definitely spicy! To finish off we tried their Key lime pie and it was so good! Much thicker than a traditional key lime but wow it was amazing and I loved the crust! Will definitely come back!!!

We visited Old Cutler Inn for a Friday night date around 7:45 PM. The waitlist was packed (apparently 150 ahead of us), so we left our name and were told we'd receive a text when a table became available. Thankfully while we went to order a drink at the bar 5 minutes later, we spotted an open table outside in front of the bar - which was first-come, first-serve - and grabbed it. I'm glad we did because our text for a table didn't arrive until 3 hours later when we were already home. We started off with the ceviche, bread rolls, and fish dip and all delicious but the ceviche and bread rolls were the real standouts. My husband enjoyed smoked Old Fashion while I sipped on the Versailles cocktail which was sweet, yet fantastic. For the mains we both went with smash burgers. They were juicy, flavorful, and paired with a great sauce (similar to Big Mac sauce). The only drawback was the burger bread because it was too thick and dry. A brioche bun would have been a much better fit. Service from the bar was excellent. I didn't catch our bartender's name, but she was attentive, kind, and anticipated our needs throughout the evening. Although we really enjoyed a Old Cutler Inn, it has its downsides. We found the menu to be on the pricey side. With burgers, apps, and drinks, our tab came to $250, which feels steep. Also worth noting is that there's no kids menu. While families can order flatbreads or burgers for little ones, dedicated kid-friendly options aren't available. Overall, Old Cutler Inn delivered a fun date night with some yummy bites and drinks, but it's definitely more of a splurge spot than a casual dinner go-to. We would absolutely go back but next time, we'll definitely be making a reservation.

Service and food was under par. Didn't see a waiter for over 10 mins after sitting down. With their pricing they appear to be act like a med-high scale restaurant but are anything but. They won't go out of business because they are the only game in town. If they were in South Miami or Gables they would have had to shut their doors already. It appears at teenagers are running the place. So disappointing

This new restaurant is exactly what the area needs. Service was awesome, aesthetic was cute, and the drinks were really really good!! The menu was limited when it came to entrees -- a BUNCH of yummy looking salad options and appetizers compared to a normal $$$ restaurant though. Not an everyday family restaurant, but also not a super super fancy place where you can't wear jeans.

Went to Old Cutler Inn last night and had such a great experience! We had a 7:45 reservation and were seated right away. The space is beautiful--indoor seating is cozy, and the outdoor area is huge. Even in the Miami heat, the fans made it super comfortable. Service was excellent. Our server Anthony was fantastic--super professional, friendly, and gave us spot-on recommendations. I tried the Fresh Breeze cocktail (so refreshing!) and the Rosé Hugo Spritz--loved them both. We started with the Tuna Tartare and Salmon Crudo, both fresh and flavorful. For mains, Anthony suggested the Korean BBQ Short Rib and the Lasagna. The rib was massive and fall-apart tender, with kimchi and rice that tied it all together. The lasagna was rich and delicious, with lamb in the sauce and served over truffle sauce--completely devoured! Overall, amazing food, great drinks, and top-notch service. Huge thanks to Anthony for making the night even better. We'll definitely be back!

We have been waiting a long time for this place to open and we were not disappointed! I was happy that they were busy for a Wednesday night, people seemed to enjoy that this is nicer than the typical Palmetto Bay "dive bar" type of place. We sat outside on a humid evening but there was coverage and plenty of fans so it wasn't bad at all. Reservations are helpful. The location itself is small with limited parking so valet is required, FYI. Was convenient and smooth operations but it is $10. The service was great, and the waitress made a great wine recommendation. American foods mostly with some south Florida twists. We were happy with our guava wings, burgers, and chicken. Topped it off with delicious key lime pie and some cocktails. Will be going back!

This is my second review after giving it three stars. We really want this place to succeed and the potential is there, but this time they went downhill. Our server Anthony was friendly, but disorganized. My wife and I ordered drinks and the kids ordered sodas, and it took a long time to get. Anthony stopped by once to see if we got our drinks, we said no. He said he was going to check with the bar. We didn't see him for a while after until I spotted him at the POS entering orders, but we could see the drinks at the bar for about five minutes. Had to stop him as he passed to ask about them. Kids still didn't get their sodas. Finally got our drinks and ordered appetizers. We ordered the ceviche and shallot butter bread. This bread was sooo good last time. Not this time. Overcooked, crunchy, and only drizzled in butter. The ceviche was horrible. Chewy and fishy. Then saw something moving in it. It was a fruit fly that had landed in it, and there were a few buzzing around the restaurant. We had to send it back. The owner came to the table and we gave her the feedback. She said she would tell her husband. My wife and I split the steak frites and a side of broccolini. The steak was actually very good, but the fries were completely soggy and limp. One of my sons ordered the swordfish and it was exceptionally good as before. Probably the best swordfish I've ever had. My other son just ordered a Cesar salad, but his plate didn't arrive for a few minutes after we all got our food. It came with anchovies. I know that's the standard for a Cesar salad, but I don't know a 16 year old that wants anchovies on their salad. His girlfriend ordered the pork schnitzel. It looked good, but was completely flavorless. It seemed that there was no salt in the batter at all. For dessert, kids wanted to order the sundae, but we were told they couldn't make it. Then asked for ice cream sampler, couldn't do that either. They sent ice cream in a jar which they enjoyed. I hope they read these- it's such a nice space and good menu, but it doesn't seem to be getting better.

Most of my review history is not critical and gives rave reviews... but not this place. I even gave it two tries. Clearly the 5 star reviews are friends & family trying to help. My family has been there twice now since it is down the block. Food not good for the price whatsoever and service mediocre at best. This is in a family neighborhood with many kids at the restaraunt yet they charged us $28 for the kids small bowl of boiled pasta with cheese. We waited for server many times with many delays on both visits. The French Dip sandwich tasted like 1 week old meat, little meat and the Ah Jus sauce tasted like brown water with zero flavor. The Cobb salad had old yellowing lettuce and the mushroom side dish was awful. The short rib was good but 90% of what we ordered was downright terrible and cold.

My overall rating of Old Cutler Inn is a solid 3/5. This is taking into account that the restaurant recently opened up so I'm sure they are working things out. The service was great but the food was a little pricey. We started with wine and an Espresso Martini which came quickly and tasted great. We had the bread and calamari to start and that too was great. Where we were disappointed was the Korean BBQ Shortrib and the Pork Schnitzel. They both tasted extremely bland and lacked flavor. They were cooked well but it just needed more seasoning. The key lime pie was great but the chocolate case was underwhelming. Overall I would recommend trying this place out since it's new but go in with managed expectations.

Been hearing a lot of this place. Usually don't pay much attention to reviews until I've been there to review it myself, I couldn't agree more with what others thought. Parking is awful with a $10 valet option(no parking spots). Drinks were great, we had the Summer Breeze and Espresso Martini. The food is alright they don't have a big menu and they were "out of a few things" we started with the Garlic Rolls which were good, they recommended the Tuna Tartare which lacked flavor not impressed. We also had the flatbread(highlight of the night) and the smash burger which was fine, overall I would go back for Drinks and Flatbread.

Ariana, the host greeted me at the door, walking me to the bar. Where I had The swordfish couldn't finish. Had to save room for the chocolate cake. The staff was very friendly. My bartender was professional. I think there was 2 of them. also, there was also a guy in training They all treated me real nice. The manager came over and introduced himself to me. It's a little far from my home, but I'll come back for a special occasion.

Mediocre food and overpriced. Will not be going back. The outside patio tabletops are a substance that sounds like scratching fingernails on a chalkboard when the ceramic plates are dragged across them. They need to lower the prices and hire a new chef to stay in business.

So sorry Old Cutler Inn. I really wanted to love you as our new favorite restaurant. Sadly we will not be returning. You need: Valet parking! There is no place to park. Neighbors must be going crazy with cars on their lawns. Larger drinks! My White Pearl was gone in a few sips. Better acoustics: It was impossible to hear inside. Too many voices and music drowned out everything. Better food: The lasagne was dry and mostly lamb. Where was the pasta? Lower prices: yikes! That's all I can say. The view: I was looking at the Mobile Station and the Shell Station. At least lower the shades. Bugs! We were seated outside. I was bitten by tiny itching bugs all over my feet and legs. Add screens? If you go, don't wear a dress and sandals like I did. Please do better for all those who live in your area.

Limited parking, small, crowded and noisy indoor seating. Slow service. My lasagna was terrible.. dry, almost no pasta. Unrecognizable as lasagna. Outdoor seating was ok but noisy traffic and no views. Won't be coming back, unfortunately.

Everything about our experience was fantastic!! Yummy food and drinks, comfortable seating. We sat outside under a covered terrace and the fans were going so it felt totally fine even in the Miami summer.

First, the presentation is seriously lacking. Dishes are served on plain white plates with no garnish or effort to make them look appealing. For example, the fish dip was just a clump on a plate with three packets of saltine crackers--it looked more like something from a diner than a nice restaurant. I ordered a French dip for my son, and it had maybe two ounces of meat with little to no flavor. Again, it was served plain, without any garnish or side dish. The drinks were good, and the dessert was just okay. This restaurant has potential, but it needs better food presentation, a refreshed menu, and more reasonable pricing. The biggest disappointment was our server, who told us we should order our meals quickly because the restaurant was busy--yet half the tables were empty. Her comment came across as rude and unnecessary.

Worst experience, came to visit for the first time. Restaurant is absolutely beautiful but the service is not as nice. We ordered a burger and they were out, we also ordered a ceviche and the Blackened Shrimp Cobb salad and it never arrived. We waited nearly an hour and asked for our check And the manager didn't bother to talk to us or help expedite our order. We paid for our check and went home. Never coming back

We have now had dinner there three times since they opened a month ago and we are having dinner there again this week. I won't go into the details of every single meal we have enjoyed but suffice it to say, we love everything about Old Cutler Inn from ambiance, to food preparation and presentation, to their wines and cocktails. I'll start with the greeters. They warmly welcome you and you are seated almost immediately. A word of caution, with an open kitchen and happy patrons the noise level can sometimes be a little high. The veranda seating is wonderful. Their wait staff is attentive and service is spot on. The wine list, though relatively small, covers all the important varietals and our experience with wines we were unfamiliar with has been wonderful. Their selection of wines is excellent. Their roasted chicken is well seasoned and succulent, their swordfish is on a bed of sautéed vegetable, it's thick, juicy and absolutely delicious. Their flat bread crust is more pizza like but Pep and Honey, the flatbread with a pepperoni and honey topping, is unique and maybe one of the best things I have ever eaten. There is a raw bar, pasta, something for everyone. Finally, the price points are terrific, there is a dish that meets you comfort level. You can spend $20 or less or $50 or more on your entree and every other price in between. We highly recommend it and make your reservations at least a couple of weeks in advance, it's growing in popularity weekly. APerez

I hope this place sees the reviews and makes the adjustments. I can tell you they have to be drastic. After all the $ spent on the building you better get the rest right. From the food quality to the disarray of who's doing what. I am golf cart distance away and was hopping the opening would be out of this world but not the case. Good luck.

We're excited to see a new restaurant open in the area. Even though the place was clearly overbooked due to the opening buzz, our waiter remained attentive throughout the meal. The menu is reasonably priced and offers an "okay" selection, while the bar is definitely a highlight. Parking is limited, but valet is available for a fee. Overall, a promising start--we'll be trying it again.

We arrived with reservations and were told that the website was not working. Thank goodness I kept the email with my reservation. They wanted to sit us down in a high table next to everyone waiting for a table. We agreed to sit down outside. Our server was excellent and attentive. The food was tasty but not worth the price. It was great to get out, but one and done is fine.

New restaurant - not at all like the original Old Cutler Inn. Good location - no other restaurants in the area other than the very good Alain's across the street. Very noisy inside. Service was very good. The menu is varied but not extensive. The food was good. Will definitely try again.

Honestly I had high hopes for this place. The atmosphere was nice and the service was good, but when it came down to the food.. for the price they were asking for, it was just not worth it. The food in my opinion was mediocre and the cocktail I ordered was terrible and barely had any alcohol. I mean 18 dollars for a drink and I didn't even feel buzzed. Just really disappointing on the whole experience. Also if you plan to park, try on the side of the road because the place is small and they ask for 10 dollars for valet. So all in all, I don't recommend to spend your money here.

We came down from MD to visit our friends for a week. One of the places that they suggested was the Old Cutler Inn. My friend & I tried the SchnitzelPork Chop. Our waiter said it was a thin piece of pork. We assumed wrongly that it would be tender, east to cut. We 1st tried with a butter knife & could not cut it easily. We asked for steak knives which was a little better, but still tough. There was too much breading on the meat. My friends wife had the Lemache, which was a pasta. The sauce had no taste to it. It needed some spices in the sauce, in other words very bland. The only thing that was half way decent was my wife's order, which was a Prime Rib Au Jus. The wine list was very expensive & the menu choices were very little. The best thing we can say is our waiter was excellent.

We had dinner here on Wednesday evening and after a slight hiccup about our table because we wanted to sit inside and they'd placed us outside, we had a great evening! The GM was very gracious and did what he could to get us a table inside. Our waitress was very nice and efficient. The ambience is very enjoyable. And last, but not least of course, the food was delicious! We had wings which were delicious and the fish dip also yummy and a very nicely sized shrimp cocktail! Oh, and the rolls!!! Our main courses were the schnitzel which was abundant and delicious, the short rib was also very tasty, steak frites was cooked perfectly, and the Spicy Vodka pasta was a big hit! For dessert we shared a piece of chocolate cake which was decadent to say the least! So the staff was very kind, the ambience is fun and the food was delicious. Everything about our evening was great. And we will definitely be back!

I would give this restaurant 5 stars for service, drinks, and ambience, and 4.5 stars for food. I ordered the fresh breeze cocktail, and it was delicious. For appetizers, my husband and I ordered the tuna tartar and the ceviche. Between the two, I liked the tuna tartar better bc it is a very interesting twist on your typical tuna tartar, and it is served with tostones. For our entree, we ordered the Sworfish, and it was delicious. It is served with a lemon butter sauce on top, and sautéed spinach and carrots with a garlic flavor. I would highly recommend this dish.

They're trying hard but they have work to do. The Tuna tartare was good. My lasagna was served cold - sent it back. The hanger steak my wife had was ok - not great. The server was a nice guy but lacks experience. The vibe is cold and nothing like the original OCI.

They are doing their best as they are just starting out-the wait staff is very nice lots of young people. 2 things. #1 They need to put on the website that it's basically reservations only. That's not advertised anywhere. #2 As a previous review said: They need a new Chef For those prices, aesthetic and that area the food has no taste or culinary creativity. They need to fix this fast or they may not make it. A dive bar has better tasting food! I'll come back in the new year! Best of luck to them.

The food was great. We had the Parker House rolls, oysters to start. The swordfish was amazing. Pork schnitzel was good as well. The desserts were so good with key lime pie and blondie skillet. Our server Delilah was so sweet. Everything is great but very limited parking.

Wanted to try this restaurant because the atmosphere outside looked so inviting. The food service was quite slow incoming and the actual service from waitress was great! The food was good. Would recommend to let others try it. Just not sure I'd be back again.

A fantastic place located in Palmetto Bay. Finally a great restaurant in my neighborhood. Excellent service, delicious food and gorgeous tasty drinks! Highly recommended!

Visited this wonderful, local restaurant for dinner. We ordered the oysters and fish dip as appetizers and they were terrific. My entree was the swordfish. It was the absolute best! Highly recommend a visit. Only bit of advice is to plan extra time if coming south on Old Cutler as the traffic is heavy.

Love the ambiance. I really enjoyed the love letter cocktail and then they made me a great Cosmo that's off menu (full bar so they're able to do a lot). I really enjoyed the Parker rolls and the Salmon Crudo. I ordered the pork schnitzel and it was HUGE. My friend has the Caesar and it was tasty too. Will definitely be revisiting to try the desserts!!!!

Our server was great. Drinks and appetizers were very good. Undoubtably should've stopped there. Medium steak was extremely overcooked and flavorless. Other members of our party ordered the spicy vodka lumanche; the amount of chicken was embarrassing and the dish itself so spicy it was inedible (and we like spice). Could've had an infinitely better meal across the street for the same cost or less. Have some drinks and try the flatbreads. Beyond that, don't waste your time.
