Great food and atmosphere! They were very accomadating even after I needed to change my reservation. The drinks were on point! The catfish...chef kiss! read more

First, there are two different ambiance styles inside that represent the characteristics of the two owners/founders. We were seated on the cozy yet trendy sophisticated side. (I believe they seat according to availability, it wasn't like a special request from us) To continue.. visiting back home in S.FL this was my first visit and definitely not my last. Our server was THE Best! Attentive, explain the food options, shared food suggestions and was friendly and approachable. Now the FOOD! It was expectable good and favorable, I love the food options with a twist. We had Oxtail Lasagna, Salmon with Seafood Rice and the miso drizzle, and the Ethiopian Fish dish. Listen, my dish the seafood rice and salmon did not disappoint! Also, was pleasantly surprised to find out that @thehungryblackman that I follow on IG is one the owners/founders of this restaurant. Glad to have such quality food in the area to visit! read more

Came here for a birthday dinner of 9, reservation was for 7:30 and we were greeted, seated, and tended to relatively quickly. The restaurant is nicely lit and the server was very nice and attentive. The manager came by and checked on us a few times also. I ordered the crab cake appetizer and I enjoyed the remoulade and lite salad that was paired with it. The blacker the berry cocktail was perfect, as a bartender I can really appreciate a tasteful drink with cognac or whiskey. The biscuit was a bit dense, but still a good option. I got the seafood pasta (lobster, scallops, mussels) and it was a great portion for the price. My friend got the Turkey wings, which was too much for her, but if you like turkey wings it looks like a good option. There is an automatic service charge...the waitress said it is split amongst the various staff that tends to the table. They played throwback r&b music and I would have preferred a mix of r&b especially on a Saturday night. read more

The service was really good! The Ambiance was impressive. My issue was the bland nature of the main courses. I wasn't impressed. If you're going to charge $47 for oxtail shredded in a lasagna? Make sure the oxtails taste reminiscent of what black folk eat. It was VERY BLAND. I was disappointed. We also tried the snow crab starter. It was actually good. But, again, over priced for one cluster. At other restaurants for $5 you can get shrimp, corn and potatoes in a bag included. I get it. We as black folks are establishing our food and culture in a more "classy" way. But, it's a pass for me. I'm not motivated to go back and try the food again because of the price points and lack of flavor in our dishes. I'd go for the drinks and keep it moving next time. read more

Loved the ambiance of this black-owned establishment! Decided to go during happy hour & try a little bit of each appetizer for a more reasonable price. Everything we ordered was delicious! I was a little bummed that they took the crispy chicken sliders off the menu because the description really caught my attention.. But the shrimppp, my my my. So good! Our waitress also did a really good job explaining the portion sizes. Overall, I was really impressed. The only thing that caught me off guard was the mandatory valet ($5) when parking spaces were available in front.. read more

Everything was good. Literally E V E R Y T H I N G! Celebrated a family members bday at 11am before the crowd & rush. Valet was only $5. Drinks were strong + tasty. There's a biscuit and it's $5, trust me just order it! The fried salmon was delicious & the grits were great. I sampled everyone else's dishes - I've recommended this black owned restaurant to about 8 people since this morning. I'll be back. I really appreciated having a conversation during brunch versus screaming over a DJ, I hope they keep the concept. read more

I would like to say I came here for dinner and it was loud, however that is my liking. Depends when you come to this restaurant as the menu changes.... Now I would start off by saying if you're coming for with a large party please be there on time. If you're coming for dinner it's like a service fee plus the tip. I came for a dinner party and I ordered shrimp for appetizer. There were about 6 and fried and were perfected with a sauce. I salmon which only came with white rice. I thought it was strange especially for a black owned restaurant we love seafood rice or even peas and rice. Also, ordered biscuits which were good, and they cooked the Brussels spots great. Drink I had a strawberry mojito which was good and different taste for me. But likes. read more

This is a new spot owned by former NFL athlete Kayvon Webster. I have wanted to try this spot since they opened 1. Because I love football and respect guys doing things the right way after they retire and 2. It's black a owned business. This restaurant did not let me down! They got it right! The staff was welcoming and nice. They walked around multiple times to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. The food was literally amazing! The flavor popped out on every bite. I have never enjoyed Brussels sprouts so much in my life. The Branzino didn't let me down! It was amazing as well! The atmosphere was really nice and laid back like a lounge. I would highly recommend Smith and Webster to anyone who will listen! It was really that good! 5 stars Kayvon! Great job with this establishment. read more

I needed to provide an update to a to go order that I made on the same day I went for brunch. I asked for a chicken and waffles to go because my other food was so good and they brought it out to me on a plate then had to transfer it to a container which was fine except when I opened it none of the sauces were included and my waffles were burnt. Very disappointing compared to the service I received in house. read more

Enjoyed my experience here. Felt like a soul food experience that pushed the boundaries a bit. We had oxtail lasagna, seafood pasta, fried shrimp, chicken wings, mac & cheese and a biscuit. All were very good. The seafood pasta included shrimp, lobster and salmon and was cooked al dente. The biscuit was served warm with a honey sauce. Would love to return for brunch. read more

Don't walk, run to this spot. Brunch was amazing. We didn't have reservations, but we arrived about 5 minutes after opening and was seated immediately and greeted by Sarah! Everything was great from the food to the service to the atmosphere. Sarah was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave honest feedback. We were in and out but not in a rushed type of way. Grits were creamy, fish was fried to perfection but extremely hot, the French toast was lovely. I have never had French toast like that! read more

So this was my second time coming here and it was for Happy Hour. We got there right at 5 so it wasn't too busy and we were able to be seated. Started off with a drink of course an watermelon martini. The drink didn't really hit like it should it tasted like cheap liquor even though I ordered top shelf. My sisters ordered the oysters to start off with. I'm not an oyster fan but these were pretty good. At the time the fried chicken still wasn't back on the menu so I ordered the smothered turkey wing and added a biscuit and skillet Mac & cheese. The food here never disappoints. The turkey was falling off the bone and the cornbread dressing chef kiss. The Mac and cheese tastes like someone's grandmother back there was whipping it up. And the biscuit. The biscuit. So so good. They have specific hours so check before coming. I will be returning and hopefully the fried chicken is back on the menu. read more

So I went to Smith and Webster for brunch and it was so good. I can back for happy hour, now next up is dinner. For brunch i had the salmon and grits. The smoothest grits I ever had and the salmon cooked to perfection. The ambiance is very nice, as well as the music. I came for happy hour and the food didn't disappoint. They give you smaller portions but it is inexpensive. The wings and Mac & cheese will definitely see me again. Every time i come i make sure i bring somebody knew so they can taste just how good the food is. The only down side for me is the parking. You really have no choice but to valet unless you park across the street. They will definitely see me again! read more

Great Great restaurant, the ambiance was amazingly chic, stylish with a twist of lux. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, our waiter was Woody, he was so pleasant and suggested the salmon and grits; great suggestion by the way!! We were a party of six so it took a while for our food; otherwise the food was amazing. I would also recommend the drinks the litchy martini was excellent and the biscuit with the salmon bits were a hit! Great location for dates, celebrations or solo eating! Enjoy read more

Highly disappointed in the Happy Hour. While the food and drinks were okay the service portions were not. 12 bucks for three oysters not a good deal . 10 -15 bucks for bites that only gives you a few ounces just isn't worth it. Hope they do better with this read more

I brought my husband to SxW for Father's Day and the staff was beyond welcoming! The hostess Lizzi was very warm and guided us to the bar where Lex recommended amazing cocktails and even changed my husband's opinion on tequila and Southbound is now his favorite. The food runner James and the manager Gorilla Kei wished my husband a happy Father's Day while all the rest of the staff (Dai & Jada) were a delight! CHEF ALEXIS EVEN TOOK TIME TO ASK US ABOUT OUR MEAL, which was beyond our expectations. The fried chicken platter was addicting and the oxtail lasagna was so impressive we even took some the oxtail arancini to go. 13/10 would recommend and go back. read more

As a long time follower of Starex "The Hungry Black Man" Smith, I had to support his newest endeavor with NFL veteran, Kayvon Webster. Starex has an unmatched culinary palate so I had high expectations coming in. Upon my entry to the modest, well-decorated North Miami Eatery, I was greeted by a beautiful, welcoming, smiling brown face. The hostess was prompt in seating us and our server, Tiffany had the most pleasant disposition. She recommended The Blacker the Berry cocktail - a Remy based concoction of blackberries and bliss! It was by far one of the best (and most unassumingly potent) cocktails I've had at a restaurant. The menu is a foodie's paradise; bringing the ever-varied flavors of Southern-Miami cuisine. I've never seen such a complete menu. Let's get to the food: I ordered the Bourbon Glazed Short Rib and it was fork tender and JUICY!!! The blistered tomatoes provided the perfect burst of flavor and the creamed corn rounded the meal for the perfect bite. The skillet mac and cheese was flavorful and balanced. Kinda like your youngest auntie borrowed big mama's recipe and made it her own. The sweet potato casserole was excellent. If you've had it at that two named steak house, you'll love this one even better! The saffron seafood rice was a party in my mouth - savory, SEASONED, with just the right balance of crab and perfectly cooked shrimp. All in all, I enjoyed every bite thoroughly. Since it's grand opening in May, I've been about 4 times and have tried almost everything on the menu. The braised oxtail lasagna is a modern take on an italian classic; perfectly executed with tons of meaty flavor. What's typically considered soul food is elevated to a whole different level! The turkey wings are amazing; with just the right amount of sauce. I've had the pork chop and it's thick (like me!) and out of this world (like me, again, LOL). I'm not typically a fan of pork but that pork chop really packs a punch in the flavor department. it's a great alternative to steak if you're craving something filling. If you go during happy hour, just stay for a full dinner but be sure to get the wings. I can't quite put my finger on what sets them aside but they are SEASONED TO PERFECTION! You won't want to share them, I promise, they're just that good. I could go on and on about Smith X Webster but you won't know just how good this place is until you try it yourself! This black-owned restaurant will only get better. It's the perfect place for a birthday dinner, anniversary or a just because date night. If you've been thinking about giving them a try, wait no longer. Make reservations because this is the newest hot spot. The food looks amazing and tastes even better! My advice? Just go! ASAP! read more

I cannot recommend Smith and Webster enough! First of all, truly as the large lit sign states, it's a 'VYBE'. The food truly matches the ambiance. We shared varied dishes to get a taste of all we could. Things I highly recommend 1 the ox tail lasagna (it had me saying wtf in the best way. Like I couldn't believe it was that good) 2 the mac and cheese was creamy and delicious 3 the fried lobster tail overlapping more seafood 4 you can't go wrong with the slider or wings or drinks K, I named about everything we ate. Try it all. read more

10/10 Recommend. I heard great things about this place on tiktok and decided to try it for brunch. It's located in North Miami and can be missed while driving by. They offer valet for only $5 which I love! The vibe was unmatched! Music was on R&B chill music, yesss! The staff and service was amazing, I loved how this is a black owned spot with all black employees dressed all up! Our sever Papa was young but very sweet, attentive and quick! The food. BOMB! I had the lemon catfish and grits and my girlfriend had the chicken and waffles. This came from the brunch menu. Portions are big, and taste was amazing. Drinks were good as well. Strong but tasty! If you are thinking about visiting, stop thinking and go! I can't wait to be back! read more

Smith & Webster is still pretty new, so I'm willing to give it a chance. It's owned by The Hungry Black Man(Facebook) & his partner. He has critiqued the food & the service of Black restaurants, so I expected his to be the opposite of anything negative he had to say about other restaurants. We were a party of 3, who all live in North Broward, so it's a drive for us to get there. That's another reason I had high hopes! I needed it to be worth the drive! We had a 12 pm reservation for brunch & they were going to put us at the high top tables. I asked not to be put there & that seemed to really mess them up. It took at least another 5-6 minutes for them to determine where to have us sit, even though the restaurant wasn't full. We were finally seated at a booth near the bar. For brunch, the menu is limited, especially if you don't eat shellfish or any kind of meat made from a pig. There were no meat substitutes offered like turkey bacon or chicken sausage, instead of bacon. I found that unusual in this day & age. They also don't offer any hot beverages like coffee or hot chocolate. Again, it's brunch, so to me, these are standard items that should be on the menu. We all ordered the French Toast. For sides, 2 of us ordered the cajun potatoes(yummy & well seasoned) & 1 ordered the scrambled eggs(also well seasoned). The French Toast comes with pecans & I asked them to hold the pecans. It took about 40-45 minutes for our meals to arrive & all but my French Toast came. They told me it would be right out. After 15 minutes, I asked the waitress to check on my order & to let the manager know I'd like the situation rectified. About 5 minutes later, The Hungry Black Man, Mr. Smith, brought my food to the table & explained that the French Toast is pre-made with pecans, so since I didn't want pecans, that's what took longer. There was no offer to cancel that charge on our bill or at least cancel the charge for my side order, as other restaurants do. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the French Toast, as did my family! I didn't finish it & took my last piece home. It's not to be wasted! It had bananas & blueberries on it, along with cream cheese & powdered sugar! It was truly scrumptious! I forgot about being annoyed that it took so long to get to me! Their restaurant staff is pleasant. I just think they need more people in the kitchen, so we can get the food faster. As for the ambiance, the lighting was a soft pink lighting, which made it a romantic/lounge feel. Music played in the background & went back & forth between being comfortable to loud. There was a rowdy group on the other side of the restaurant who decided to get up & dance, which is fine, if their group were the only ones over there, but there were other guests trying to enjoy their meal too. Luckily, they left halfway through our meal. Although I don't think it's worth the drive for brunch, I plan on going back to try their dinner! I must try the oxtail lasagna! Overall, I commend the owners! It's nice to have a Black Owned Restaurant to go to! Kudos to them! read more

Smith and Webster - French Toast - Southern Near Me - Miami, Florida

I first heard of this establishment from a link I received of their IG page @smithandwebster I knew this would be a good experience as I called them before hand to see if there were seafood options on the menu and someone answered the phone within two rings. One of my pet peeves calling a restaurant and no one answers the phone but I digress. Not only did someone answer the phone immediately but was super professional and patient with answering my questions. My reservation was set for 8:00pm and we arrived super early. I'm almost certain the Gentleman that greeted us was the same person that answered the phone earlier. Despite arriving early and being busy we were seated immediately and within a minutes a server was at our table taking our drink order. The server immediately returned with our drink and was ready to take our order. The Restaurant decor was very nice and comfortable with a modern classy feel. The restaurant is not really big but a very nice space with an open type floor plan that makes the place feels bigger and airy. We ordered the Red Fish and the Salmon both cone with the Saffron Seafood Rice. We also ordered the biscuits and a side of Brussels Sprouts. Both of the fish were perfectly seasoned, and super moist. The Saffron Seafood rice was honestly seasoned to perfection. The shrimp were tender and rice both handled with care as neither were overcooked. The Brussels had a really nice flavor and balance of sweet and savory. This would be my only negative that the portion size was really small on this item but the fact that it was really good sort of made up for it. The biscuits if I had to say were small for the price, but made up for it with taste. The service overall was excellent our server was on point the entire time and really represented this establishment well. Observing the other servers they were also very attentive and professional. Note: gratuity is added to the bill at 18%. **I had no issue with it as the service and overall experience was great and I will certainly be back to experience it all again. read more

Amazing amazing amazing food! Went here on a Friday and went right back on Saturday. I'm a pescatarian and the Miso Salmon entree cannot be beat. My husband has had the ribs and wings and swears by them. I would highly recommend going around 4 if you prefer a slower vibe but if you are looking to feel swanky, go around 8PM to enjoy the music and vibes. Can't wait to try their new Vegan options coming to the menu. read more

This is a newer location with a lot of Caribbean inspired selections. The flavors are big and tasty. I have gone for both dinner and brunch and you won't be disappointed with either menu. It is best that you make a reservation to ensure that you have a spot during the busy brunch/dinner times, but it is worth the wait. The restaurant also offers the option to host large parties so that is great. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone looking for good food and drinks. read more

I would like to start off by saying that I came here for a birthday dinner. The entrance to the restaurant wasn't really apparent since the doors are all blacked out with no signs, just some flashing lights that would alert you that it may be an entrance. Coming inside they were playing old school R&B music which I loved and assumed it was following a "throwback Thursday" theme that night. The host was very friendly and went ahead to seat our party once majority arrived. We were seated in a private corner that would've separated our party from everyone else using a curtain, but they never actually closed it during our time there. It was set for a party of 14 and there wasn't a cohesive set of chairs used at the tables. It was as if they took whatever chairs they could find within the restaurant to make it to the amount needed. Now to the food. Our orders were taken and it took about 30-40 minutes for it come out. I suppose I appreciate the wait time for freshly cooked food. There weren't any substitutions allowed for what was ordered which was annoying for the fact that the side was served in a separate bowl which could've easily been adjusted. I ordered the Branzino which came with an arugula salad and white rice and my friend ordered the short rib which came with mashed potatoes. I'd definitely say the food was GREAT. Nicely seasoned which could've been taken as salty depending on who was eating it but I was satisfied with my meal. Price wise I feel it's a bit on the higher end of the spectrum. My total including the gratuity and tax was $53 for my entree and my friend was $61 for her meal. Overall I believe this place has great potential to be a 5 star restaurant if it works out some of the small aesthetic kinks. I enjoyed my meal and the ambiance. read more

My wife and I enjoyed our dining experience at Smith and Webster (Miami). We were greeted immediately and our server was polite and attentive the whole time. The food was delicious! We ordered a honey biscuit and spinach dip for appetizers. The biscuit was soft, warm, and delicious. The dip was the one of the best I've had. I have to warn you that they are both very filling so be careful not to order too many. We had the Eula Mae's Chicken and Seafood Pasta. Both were delicious! We could not finish it all due to the large portions. My only complaint is that they did not have the oxtail lasagna. The service, the atmosphere, drinks, and the food were on point! read more

I have no problems with the food or the atmosphere. I went for brunch over the weekend with a large party, and I ordered the brisket omelet with a side of grits. The grits were perfection, and the omelet was pretty good. Here's my issue: The price point isn't appropriate. Example 1: A double Johnny Walker Black shouldn't cost $35.00. If I'm paying less at a hotel bar for this same drink, then that's crazy. Example 2: I think the omelet was about $36.00. Yeah, it's an omelet. I don't think I need to explain the justification of pricing an omelet with brisket when I can get good brisket in a large quantity for $36.00 at a BBQ spot. Example 3: *deep breath* 18% Service Fee... What's up with that? Basically, you're telling your guest that you need to pay an additional 40% for their time at the restaurant. If that's the case, SAY THE GRATUITY ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE SERVICE CHARGE ON THE MENU AND WEBSITE SO THERE'S NO SURPRISES. Please understand that it was a surprise, and I don't like surprises involving my money. In short, complete BS business strategy; crazy prices, crazy service charges, and then surprise! Example 4: Forced Valet... Bruh, I could have walked the ten steps from where y'all parked the car. It's like y'all are trying me. So, 3 stars because the staff was friendly, and the food was good. Everything else was de facto disrespectful... Y'all tried it. I won't be back, personally, but I'm not discouraging you to try out it. Just be aware of the extras. read more

Sunday evening dinner @Smith X Webster. We really enjoyed the intimate setting, our reservation was at 7pm and we were seated as soon as we stepped inside. We started out with a few cocktails, the Oysters Rockefeller and crab cakes, oyster were superb 10/10, crab cakes 6/10. Then for our meal Oxtail lasagna 9/10, seafood pasta 8/10 and salmon with veggies 8/10, the salmon was prepared perfectly it was the cheesy sauce that was on top that I should have requested on the side. We also had the Brussels sprouts that were great, they are prepared with a maple bacon and the side of macaroni and cheese which was also good. And yes we took a lot of food home. Smith X Webster is on the expensive side but the service, ambiance, food and the overall vibe the restaurant had was worth it. We were even asked for feedback from both owners. It's definitely worth a try!! SN: There is a $5 valet parking fee for all cars but the valet guy we had was very on point and professional. read more

Decided to visit this establishment for happy hour. From the valet attendant to the hostess and waitress, everyone was so pleasant. Valet parking was $5 and very convenient. We didn't have a reservation but was seated right away. The waitress came and recommended some cocktails. I decided to go with the raspberry lemon drop. It was sweet and tart and very delicious. For the small bites, I ordered the Mac and cheese, crispy shrimp, wings, crispy chicken sliders. The mac and cheese was my top favorite. Cheesy, flavorful and delicious. The happy hour portion size was sufficient for one but if ordering other items it could be shareable for two. The crispy shrimp had a Thai chili sauce, it was a little spicy, plump and delicious. There were about 4 pieces. The crispy chicken sliders were also a Thai chili base and came with two sliders. It was a little salty for my liking but I still enjoyed the crispy bun, coleslaw. The chicken wings were 4 pieces for the happy hour and were grilled to perfection. We had a great time The ambiance was lounge like, great music. The service was amazing and food exceptional. Can't wait to visit again read more

Black Owned restaurant right in the heart of Miami. The food, the music, the decor and the cocktails definitely make this hidden gem a "VYBE". Most recently I went for happy hour and the Strawberry Mojito was made to perfection. I ended up ordering off the regular menu for food and got the grilled Caesar salad and the Chef Harvey Special fried chicken and OMG !! it's gonna be pretty hard not to get that again the next time -- Super delicious (chicken seasoned well and the salad also had a nice crisp to it). Our waiter was very patient and kind as we didn't know what we wanted to order at first. I'll be back very soon! read more

Smith and Webster is really trying to pass for something that it's not. I only came here because it was a friend's birthday and after looking at the menu the crew wanted to try it. To say I was disappointed and underwhelmed when I arrived is an understatement. First off, the location is dingy and the forced valet for $10 is ridiculous. There is an option to pay $5 but I don't like valets and because the location is suspect I preferred to keep my car up front. But nonetheless, I'm not understanding why the forced valet, the parking spots are located right in front of the restaurant and there were several empty spots when I arrived. Imagine going to Chilis and they tell you that you have to valet. Our reservation was at 8pm. I walked in at 7:58pm and told the greeter who I then found out was the manager that my friends and I arrived. My friends were still getting their cars valet (it was 4 of us in separate cars) plus all the other people who were also coming in, and only 2 valet attendants. With the forced valet, it was understandably taking a while for everyone to have their car valet. The manager told me to give him 2-5 mins to have us seated. We were finally seated at 8:15pm. Once seated, we scanned the menu and the manager quickly came back and told us that the kitchen closed at 8:30pm so we had to put all our orders in asap. At this point, 3 of us are seated and scurrying to figure out what we wanted to order. We had to send the link to our 4th friend who was still outside waiting to get her car valet so we could order for her. It was stressful and not a great way to celebrate our friend's birthday. Once we decided what we wanted the manager finally came back at 8:28pm to grab our order. Not wanting to spoil the moment we quickly ordered 2 salmon entree, Ethiopian branzino, a burger, kale salad, and Mac and cheese. Before we could order drinks he was gone. Finally, our waitress came and my friends all ordered cocktails and I had a glass of Prosecco. As we waited for our drinks and food, I took in the ambiance. It was dark (not romantic or sexy), just dark and blah. A combination of high top and booth seating. The bar was on the smaller side. The colors were a combination of gray and royal blue which was just unattractive. The blue lights made it feel like some late night diner on the side of the road. My friends cocktails arrived in plastic drink ware and they were weak and my Prosecco (in an actual glass flute) was horrible, definitely some cheap stuff. At some point in the night, some of my friends ordered another round because they still could not feel a buzz and I opted out because the Prosecco was awful. The food while well seasoned was salty. But honestly, it didn't taste like anything a professional chef made. Not even something your mom made. More like something your neighbor who has been ranting and raving about her cooking and constantly inviting you over to try her food, cooked it. You could take it or leave it. Nothing special. Our total was over $350 with 18% gratuity that was already added. We didn't mind as we were gonna tip her anyways, even with the subpar experience. But before we could, she stopped us and proceeded to tell us that half of the gratuity went to the establishment and the other half went to the rest of the team and so if we wanted to tip her, it would be extra. Huh? Half went to the establishment? Ummmmm...I'm paying $42 for salty ass salmon and rice that I could have made myself, our cocktails came in plastic cups, I valet 2 steps away from the restaurants entrance, and I have to tip the establishment? Lol. Smith and Webster really tried it. Do better with your employees. My friends should have gone to Gekko like I suggested. Now we are left with an underwhelming experience and have to make it up to my friend because I feel like we ruined her birthday. Oh and when we were leaving the valet attendants just handed us our keys to walk and get our cars. Lol! Never again! read more

Well this was the highlight of my trip besides my sons bday. This establishment was everything and more. The food was insanely good. Like everything I had including the drinks.

Went to the Coral Springs location with my mother and daughter for dinner. We had a wonderful time. Everything we ordered was delicious and the service was incredible! The lamb chops were my favorite. The oxtail lasagna was my least favorite. It was not bad, but we ordered a variety of dishes and this did not shine as much as the others. Although I was throughly stuffed, still went in for the Vegan Banana Bread, which was absolutely amazing!!!! We will definitely be back. read more
