Was looking for a restaurant near our hotel and the breakfast we had was delicious. We got there around 10:30am and while it was very busy, we had no trouble getting a table right away. Our server Michelle was friendly, quick and made sure we were enjoying our meal. Absolutely loved the food and the mimosa!

Very attentive and friendly service, they dont take reservations so arrive early or you could be waiting. I had the Cuban Benedict, which I believe was a daily special and absolutely delicious. They do like many in Miami include gratuity in the bill. As a member of the service industry I dont object.

This place was excellent, we got bottomless mimosas for 25 per person, and instead of having to flag down staff for refills they refilled the drink the second they saw it was empty. Our server Daniela was so sweet and considerate and really added to the experience here. The food itself was very good, getting the crepe and the roasted turkey croissant with poached eggs. The breakfast potatoes are probably the best Ive ever had and the Turkey croissant with the poached eggs and avocado was superb. Overall, if Im in Miami again, this would be the place Id head to.

From the water to the service everything I tried was absolutely delicious at this place. I love the way they serve your water: in this glass bottle. The France cafe was perfect. The crepe absolutely out of this world. And they have a chicken sandwich that is so delicious I wanted to order another even before I was done eating mine. The servers were very busy but at the same time they are checking on you often and are very polite and courteous. I had a wonderful experience from beginning to end. I definitely recommend. If you have to wait to be seated, its worth the wait.
