It is no longer that price---the unlimited food is $75 and the free flow drink package to add on is $20. But for the quality of food and the cost of one cocktail that you could knock out with the drink package, this is a solid bottomless brunch option that is sure to please anyone! The inside of the restaurant is beautiful with many wooden finishes and plenty of surrounding windows to let natural light in during the day. We were given a glass of sparkling wine from a table with glasses lined up as soon as we walked in. I wish I had 3 more stomachs to eat multiples of the delicious dishes on the menu. The tostada de atun was fresh, delicately seasoned and so snackable. The ostras y Michelada were so creative but still managed to keep the briny and fleshy taste of the oyster. The tabla de carne was one to write home about: a wooden grilled meat board of a rack of lamb, skirt steak and NY strip that were all tender and perfectly seasoned. I think we liked the strip steak the best but would have ordered 3 more of the boards if we could. The cigalas a la parilla were the prized dish of the brunch. The prawns came head on, grilled to brilliance, ready to be photographed and unshelled for their succulent meat. Gabriella our server was on point! She checked on us often and kept our drinks going, not an easy feat considering how much we all consumed. Her recommendation for a drink that was not too sweet was spot on. Many of their brunch cocktails feature mezcal which is a delight for me, but they are flexible about switching out liquors if you need. You get unlimited wine, sparkling wine and beer in addition to the cocktails in the drink package. There is no shortage to the possibilities of drink and bite combinations you can get in this brunch! Go and see for yourself!

All of the servers and waitstaff were incredibly friendly, as well as the managers who welcomed us when we arrived. Our waiters and waitresses were so informative and helpful throughout the entire experience, especially when it came to explaining the process and helping us select the meats for the Butcher's Feast. We really appreciated all of their suggestions on how to pair and complement the different meats. Everything was absolutely delicious, and each pairing went perfectly together. We had such a great time and are genuinely happy that we came back. We will definitely be returning and look forward to sharing this incredible experience with our friends and family. Thank you so much, Daniel, and your entire team, for making this visit such a memorable one! My husband wanted to make my birthday special, so he made a reservation here for our first visit. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the start. We were seated directly behind the server station, where the staff stood throughout the evening talking among themselves. It wasn't the most enjoyable atmosphere, especially for a birthday dinner. Our waiter, Raphael, was friendly at first, but his attitude noticeably changed after we declined to order alcoholic drinks and the omakase, as we don't drink and preferred the Butcher's Feast instead. Even though the Butcher's Feast is still a very expensive option, it felt like we were treated differently because of our choices. The staff members who cleared our plates were much kinder. One employee noticed that our bone broth had gone cold and explained that it was meant to be enjoyed before the steaks. Unfortunately, Raphael never mentioned this or explained how the meal was intended to be served. My husband also noticed the manager repeatedly pointing toward our table while speaking with the servers. Shortly afterward, multiple staff members kept coming over to ask if we were finished. Each time they said they weren't trying to rush us, but being asked over and over made us feel very rushed. It took away from what was supposed to be a relaxing birthday celebration. The meat itself was just okay, and both my husband and I left with upset stomachs afterward. We've eaten Korean barbecue and Korean food at many other restaurants without any issues, so this experience was unusual. Overall, I'm surprised this restaurant has a Michelin star. Based on our experience, it didn't live up to the level of service or quality we expected. Between the unfriendly service, feeling rushed throughout the meal, and the underwhelming food, I would not recommend this restaurant for a special occasion.

I would say there is a sexy vibe. I wished it was slightly lighter so I could see what I was eating. The amuse busch was a bone broth which was a smooth savory consumed with bone broth flavor. We ordered the oysters with uni which was rich, briny, and succulent. We ordered the butchers thing for the table and the Kim chi paella. The bon chon came in phases which I wished came out all together but every bon chon was very tasty and authentic. Not your typical bon chon but very tasty and a spin on tradition. Service was excellent and drinks were also delicious. The Kim chi paella was really tasty. What I missed is a slight sweet component to the paella. Loved the crunchy rice on the bottom. The dessert was ok. A bit too icy for ice cream. Usually Koreans do fruit or a yogurt probiotic to counteract the spicy. All in all very good and will be back next time we're in Miami!

Perhaps it's because Brickell has grown so much over the last 10 years, but as the night continued, Claudie got more and more provocative. We started the night at a formal French restaurant. We ended the night at a hip, diverse DJ-led hot spot, and we never moved! Dinner was very special, from the experience of someone hand cutting fresh herbs at the table to enjoy with our bread, to the pretty sorbet display for our birthday girl, this was one of our best dining experiences in South Florida over the last several years. My first Branzino Carpaccio experience won me over! Absolutely divine! I also appreciated the Tuna Crudo via the Seafood Tower served on top of a layer of avocado. Details matter. The Branzino entrée was also memorable -- crispy, and accompanied by a capers, tomato and garlic relish. I would also never skip the Fig Cheesecake. Pricey and worth it. Dinner for four was $1,200. A complete 10/10!

Based on that past visit, I confidently reserved a table two weeks in advance for a party of eight to celebrate my birthday. Unfortunately, the evening was an absolute logistical failure from start to finish.The breakdown began with seating. Despite our advanced reservation, the restaurant failed to accommodate us inside the main dining room. Instead, we were relegated to a high-traffic bar area, leaving our guests constantly jostled and bumped by other patrons for the latter half of the evening. The service from our waitress, Coralie, was practically nonexistent. The pacing of the evening was agonizingly slow; we were seated around 8:15 PM and not able to leave until around 11:15 ish.The delays were so severe that I was forced to physically go to the bar myself just to order a beverage. Furthermore, a friend had dropped off a birthday cake prior to the reservation, yet there was a complete lack of internal communication. When we questioned Coralie about the cake, she was entirely unhelpful, dismissive, and seemed completely unaware of its existence. While a manager did eventually step in to waive the cake fee and comp a round of drinks, these minor financial adjustments cannot undo the sour note left by a night of mismanagement. An establishment of this caliber should possess the basic communication and organizational skills to execute a standard group reservation. It is incredibly unfortunate that poor execution completely ruined my birthday celebration. I will not be returning. P.S The one positive was that the salmon was delicious.

I got the smoked coffee old fashioned at dinner which was really fun because of the fun table-side presentation of the smoke-filled lantern. Exceptional service from start to finish. Everyone from the hostess to the bartender to the waitress to the manager was fantastic - a true team effort to make sure you have an amazing experience. The hostess even helped make the evening extra special with a surprise for my wife :) The atmosphere and vibe was upscale and exactly what you'd expect. Great special occasion spot.

I enjoyed the show occasionally as a guilty pleasure, but I'm really not big into the whole reality TV does dining type of thing, however my hubs has had Hell's Kitchen on his must eat list for years. We never made it to the one in Vegas last year, so I thought Id treat him to lunch at this yesterday after a work event he was honored at. After yesterday's experience, I have no problem admitting I was wrong and will wholeheartedly walk that sentiment back. Hell's Kitchen impressed me, which if you've read my reviews isn't always an easy thing to do. The food flavors were all on point, service was exceptional, and the coursing time hit the mark from start to finish. The only reason this is 4 stars and not 5, is hubby's main was not very hot. There were only a handful of tables at the time so that element was a bit disappointing. I opted for Miami Spice, and hubs picked the Express lunch which comes out to a better deal for what he ordered. We never had to look for a server for water, and they were really accommodating in adjusting my order (I have to have sauces on side and low salt right now because of a health issue). On to the main event, the meal! Drinks: Strawberry & Mint Spritz: This N/A bev sounded interesting on paper but neither of us super enjoyed it. It was just a little too syrupy sweet. I love that they're using N/A prosecco and apertivos though and not just putting a bunch of juice and sodas in a cup and calling it a mocktail. If we ever make it back I'd be up for trying a different one on the list or a real deal cocktail. Caesar salad: This was a generous portion with delicate parmesan crisps and large crunchy croutons. The limited amount of dressing I did use was delicious and perfectly balanced. I skipped most of the croutons as they were too salty for me, but probably perfect for the average Joe. Carrot soup: My guy enjoyed this thoroughly, and stopped short of licking the bowl. I tried it, but it wasn't my cup of tea. The presentation was lovely. Crispy Skin Salmon: This was my choice from the Miami Spice menu. It's miso marinated and served with a crispy sushi rice cake, sautéed baby bok choy, and a miso beurre blanc which they put on the side for me. I asked for the fish to be cooked well done, and they nailed that. It was perfection on the tongue and still delicate and moist in spite of being fully cooked. The skin was expertly crisp as well and really tasty. The only negative of this dish was the oil factor. Salmon is oily on its own, but this plate was dripping from the rice cake to the bok choy, and that's omitting the beurre blanc entirely. Speaking of, everything was so flavorful on its own that the dish carried itself without any extra salt or sauce. I did try the beurre blanc with a few bites though and it was nice. Petit Beef Wellington: Aside from not being hot enough, hubby overall enjoyed this. He prefers a lumpy skin on mash, but I thought the mash purée was divine. We just both wish it was hotter when it came out. Cherry Blossom Cheesecake: I haaaate that almond extract taste found in cherry cordials, and this was loaded with it from my one bite. Thankfully I didn't order this. Hubs did, and loved it! Also the plating was beautiful! Sticky Toffee Pudding: Was this the best STP I've ever had? No. Was it enjoyable? Absolutely! In hindsight, I wish hubs had gotten the 2 course express menu and split this dessert with me because it's full size and a massive overload of sugar for one person. I barely ate a quarter and ended up in a sugar coma the rest of the day. Would I still order it again? You bet your sweet ass! To wrap this up, this was a surprisingly enjoyable meal. The check still packed a punch though at $150 for two with one mocktail. Overall I do think it's a great pick for a nicer meal with upscale British and European favorites with a global inspired twist.
