We went to the restaurant today for lunch (pre mother's day) and while the entrance of the…read morerestaurant was nicely decorated, the food did not live up to the expectations and price. Let's start with appetizers, the croquettes were great 10/10 and the plantain chips with cheese and chorizo were also good 7/10, however, from appetizers to actual main course it took about 1 hour for food to arrive. The pasta cooked on the parmesan wheel is the best thing in the menu 8/10, in my opinion. Unfortunately, we only ordered one of those and our party of 7 was more into risotto which was a total disappointment. The risotto with shrimp was a total disaster 0/10, the shrimp looked like the cooked shrimp wheel from Publix, no seasoning, farm raised and boiled on the side of a risotto that was about half a cup of cold rice. We ordered 3 of those and felt totally robbed. The black risotto was a bit better 6/10 but also cold. The seafood risotto was a 6/10 also cold. The dessert that hit the spot was the 3 leches 10/10. The balloons on the chairs flipping to one's head every time the door opened was also a total failure that made the experience not an enjoyable one. Then let's talk about the restaurant ceiling, which we ended up looking at since we had to wait almost 1 hour for our main course to arrive, the vents are nasty, you can see the accumulation of dust on the vents and the wood on the ceiling. Luckily we were seating on the area to the side of where the vents are, if not, it would have been totally disgusting to seat under that area to eat. We spent over $400 for a party of 7, 3 appetizers, 7 main course and 4 desserts. Overall I think the place is heavily overpriced given the mediocre quality of the food and it needs urgent attention to the cleaning of the ceiling.

The place was pretty empty .. only one other table there and the service was slow and inattentive. I ordered the pork belly flatbread, and it literally came out burnt. I'm honestly not sure how they had the nerve to serve it when it was completely black. For a spot that has so much potential and a nice setup, this experience definitely missed the mark , not sure if we came at a bad time an hour before closing or what it was but hopefully this is not their norm

When you step inside you're greeted by a soft, ambient lighting, and great decor. For food and drinks we ordered off the happy hour menu and sat at the bar. The bartender was very nice and offered to help us choose the best drink based on our preferences. The drinks were refreshing. We ordered the short rib croquetas which were delicious. The chicken nuggets and caviar were a fun order, but I think you could skip on this because they seem like regular frozen chicken nuggets, it was still OK. I would definitely order the Korean barbecue skewers, which were my favorite. The tiramisu was huge but a little too sweet. I think this is a great spot for happy hour and would have to come back to try the main conditions.

For food, we ordered the short rib croquetas which were really delicious! My husband got the airline chicken. It was good, but he felt it lacked more flavor. The oxtail, on the other hand, had a great flavor! I ordered the short rib ravioli. I don't know if it's normally like this or if there was a little slip in the kitchen but it was EXTREMELY salty. I'm usually one to add plenty of salt to dishes but this tasted like the cap of the salt shaker fell out while seasoning. Overall, I like this spot for a cute date night. The drinks are really fabulous as well as the vibe and the food is really good.

On the outside it's a little unassuming even though the plaza itself is nice, but the decor inside was elegant. Our server was really friendly. Unfortunately, she di forget to bring into our appetizer. But we even forgot until after we were eating dinner so we didn't say anything (and it turns out it wasn't on the check either). We went at around 8:30 pm on a Friday night and there were only a few other tables, it they're open until 3am so we assume it is more of a late night spot. We both thought the food was incredible though. I had salmon (which was cooked to perfection) and cilantro rice. I ordered vegetables (zucchini, tomatoes, and broccolini) which were also surprisingly tasty. My husband had the mofongo. It was just different from the typical Puerto Rican mofongo in that didn't come with sauce other than some garlic sauce, but the taste was still great. He also liked the chicken that came with it. We will def be returning here in the future!

They had a young girls working as waitress, she only came around when we called her or to bring the food, seemed inexperienced. We told the waitress we were where there to take advantage of GROUPON offer. The owner (must be this Ismael, person) came by to "clarify" the GROUPON details, about there being minimums and stuff, because they have had issues with GROUPONs. I told him, no worries, I was a regular GROUPON user, we would consume MORE than the minimums and all was good. FELT like saying "Dude Be Greatful For GROUPON, if it wasn't for us, this place would be 100% empty.

The chicken soup, which should be a Cuban staple, is surprisingly mediocre, and overall the larger entrées just don't stand out. On the flip side, the people are friendly, the service is good, and they remember your name, giving the place that homie neighborhood feel.

The experience was top-notch. We started with some Spanish croquettes--crispy, creamy, and seasoned just right. Three of us had a lobster bisque-style soup that was on another level: rich, smooth, and packed with flavor. I had a fresh, simple salad, and one of the teens ordered a churrasco that was grilled perfectly. My wife had the Chicken Alfredo, and let me tell you--it was outstanding. Creamy, flavorful, and done to perfection. She's picky when it comes to pasta, and this one got her seal of approval. The bread they brought out was warm and fresh--one of those little details that sets a place apart. We enjoyed a great red wine recommended by our server, and it paired beautifully with the meal. The service overall was very good--polite and attentive--and they even sang Happy Birthday for the guest of honor, which made the night even more special. Desserts? Yes, we went all in. We shared a tiramisu, a crème brûlée, and another dessert with ice cream that I couldn't quite name, but it was ridiculously good. Everything was plated nicely, tasted homemade, and gave the meal a sweet, classy finish. The only real critique was the clearing of plates. They were clearly understaffed, and at times, our used dishes stayed on the table longer than they should have. In one instance, the next course came out before the table was cleared. Not the end of the world, but worth noting. On the way to the restroom, I caught a glimpse of the kitchen--it was spotless and organized. That says a lot. Yes, the prices are on the higher end, but it's absolutely justified. This place is one of those Miami culinary gems that gets it right. We'll definitely be back. Estábamos en Miami desde Orlando para celebrar el cumpleaños de la mejor amiga de mi esposa, y fuimos a cenar a La Giraldilla con ella, su esposo, su bebé que está por cumplir un año, y las dos hijas de mi esposa. La experiencia fue de primera. Comenzamos con unas croquetas españolas crujientes por fuera, cremosas por dentro y con el sazón perfecto. Tres de nosotros pedimos una sopa estilo bisque de langosta que estaba fuera de liga: rica, suave y llena de sabor. Yo pedí una ensalada fresca y sencilla, una de las adolescentes pidió churrasco que llegó al punto exacto, y mi esposa se fue con el Chicken Alfredo--y déjenme decirles, estaba espectacular. Cremoso, sabroso, y perfectamente cocido. Ella es exigente con la pasta, y esta pasó la prueba con creces. El pan que trajeron estaba calientico y fresco--un detalle que marca la diferencia. Acompañamos la comida con un vino tinto excelente, recomendado por nuestro mesero, que complementó perfectamente los sabores. El servicio en general fue muy bueno--amable y atento--y hasta cantaron Feliz Cumpleaños a la homenajeada, lo cual hizo la noche aún más especial. ¿Y los postres? Fuimos con todo. Compartimos un tiramisú, un crème brûlée y otro postre con helado cuyo nombre no recuerdo, pero que estaba buenísimo. Todo bien presentado, con sabor casero, y un final dulce y elegante. La única crítica real fue con la recogida de los platos. Estaban claramente cortos de personal, y a veces los platos usados se quedaban demasiado tiempo en la mesa. En una ocasión, trajeron el siguiente plato sin haber recogido el anterior. No fue grave, pero sí se notó. Cuando fui al baño, eché un vistazo a la cocina--impecable y bien organizada. Eso dice mucho. Sí, los precios son elevados, pero totalmente justificados. Este lugar es una de esas joyas gastronómicas de Miami que sabe lo que hace. Sin duda, volveremos.
