This restaurant is worth all 25 points of all 5 stars that I am awarding it. The service, covid measures, food quality, decor, music selection, and overall professionalism by the staff was unequivocally excellent.
I ate dinner there with my wife a couple weeks back and we were thoroughly pleased with the whole experience. While I waited for her arrival, the waiter offered to get me something to drink. I accepted a glass of water. While I perused the menu and took a sip of water out of the glass every so often, the waiter noticed. As a result, he came by and refilled my water glass (every time!). I hadn't had this much attention to detail since my last 3 Michelin star experience at Momofuko Ko in NYC, much less in notoriously "poor service Miami".
The zucchini flower appetizer arrived with crispy flowers filled with cheese and delighted our senses. The combination crunchy and soft texture was a perfect balance in the mouth. Previously tasted zucchini flowers by us were not filled and we were quite pleased at this surprise.
The main courses of pappardelle with osobucco and Branzino (a specialty that night) also fared well for our palettes. The portion size was perfect, as was the plate preparation. We ate the delicious dishes with delight.
Never one to turn away looking at the dessert options, I decided that if I was going to order something, it would not be the tiramisu. I love tiramisu, but decided that I wanted to try something else. The triple chocolate seemed a bit too much for our mostly full stomachs, so we opted for the waiter's recommendation of passion fruit topped panacotta. Even better, it arrived topped with sweet raspberries and blackberry, which complemented perfectly. The Sweet, tart, smooth sensualness still lingers on my tongue.
Minor detail, but the Pinot noir that we drank was also well balanced.
Thanks Palat for showing and doing how a food experience should be!
