Absolutely amazing experience. Initially, i came here because i had a $50 gift card that i got from the owner at Reunion kitchen in aventura, who mentioned both restaurants had the same ownership and implored us to try his other location, offering us the gift card.
We had plans at 7pm this past Thursday and made a 5:30p reservation at the restaurant, the first time they had available. Making the booking was very easy directly from their Google maps result link.
We arrived and the restaurant offers its own reserved parking in a private lot in back, which makes the entire thing significantly easier as the area is bustling and often low on parking.
We were sat immediately, the ambiance is so peaceful and gorgeous, very classy and well-decorated with lots of windows and foliage to bring privacy to the outdoor seating area. We sat inside by the corner windows, and our server instantly greeted us with bread and oil/parmesan dip.
We ordered spritzes to start, blueberry basil for me and Aperol for my friend. Mine was light and refreshing, fruity and flavorful, the aperol was a little strong for me and almost burns the palate but my friend enjoyed his drink a lot.
We skipped apps as the bread was so filling and went straight to the main courses. We tried the branzino fillet at our servers recommendation, served picturesquely over perfectly cooked asparagus, roasted lemon slices, and basil pesto drizzle. It was so tender and well-cooked and seasoned. And coming as a filet made it easy to eat and with no bones. Soo good.
We also had the fiocchi pera, my personal favorite Italian dish, and possibly the best iteration I've had of it on this side of the Atlantic. So f-ing good!! The pastas were so delicious, the truffle already sauce so perfect, i just i wish there was more of the pasta (less than 10 pieces probably). we got 2 more bread baskets just to avoid wasting any of the delicious creamy sauce.
So good.
In fact, we realized halfway to the restaurant that i forgot the gift card and decided to go anyway, and if we liked it we'd come back and use it next time. Safe to say we're coming back. Thank you!!
