Our server Osiel was truly helpful. From prompt seating to helpful menu suggestions, their attention to detail was commendable. This level of service enhanced the overall enjoyment of the meal, making it a memorable and positive experience.

Great little find as visited for the weekend from Canada. Stayed at a local hotel and found this place quite by accident. Sunday brunch/afternoon is a time for locals to visit. Mostly church goers it seemed. We had dinner plans that night so we only ordered 6 oysters, shrimp with tostadas, and mussels. We washed it all down with a nicely priced bottle of champagne. Server was fast, staff were pleasant and polite and food was awesome (the oysters were organic and too large for my wife but I managed to get them down!). The shrimp was spicy and the garlic butter mussels were to incredible. What a nice find for about $100. Thanks!!

I come here all the time, and it’s my favorite place. Food is great and so are the workers. It’s very affordable if you plan on coming with a lot of family and are on a budget. The inside is decorated nicely and it feels cozy.

What wonderful experience we have every time we come to this location. Rey, a true professional, always makes sure to make us feel at home. The ambiance and presentation of the restaurant is quiet, peaceful, and private. The walls are decorated with fish species, angler trophy pictures, and more. The wine offered on the menu is great and for every budget. When you leave you will realize that you were not at the Florida Keys, but in Kendall. A true gem in Dade.

Being a long haul truck driver, I don’t often get the luxury of dining out. My company has a regular drop in this area. It’s been awhile since I’ve been there. I was looking for something to eat, and I walked a short walk past 4 different food trucks, but really wanted something new. Even though they have two other locations around Miami. Walked up to the carry out, and was greeted with a huge smile, and a friendly lady working the area. I noticed that the menu was not quite the same, as the one from the menu photo, so that means they do things seasonal. The whole area from the large patio, to the sidewalk area and the parking lot was immaculate. All of the staffers that I talked to, were friendly and smiling. The inside was warm airy and inviting. The bathroom was sparkling. I ordered lobster bisque, mind you I only order seafood when I’m in an area that is near the ocean. The soup was fantastic, it was perfectly seasoned, the right amount of thickness, the base obviously had been made from lobster shells, with small bits of lobster, just the way it’s supposed to be made( sorry lobster bisque is not made with chunks of lobster), with a touch of sweetness. There was no grittiness at all. I had taken a large bite and absolutely loved it, after that every bite I took was a small one, so as to savior every bite. The blackened mahi-mahi tacos were excellent, perfectly seasoned, the fish was moist, and the sauce was just enough. Served in flour tortillas, it was not short on ingredients and flavor. The potato chips were cooked perfectly, no greasy spots or flavor at all. I can’t express my delight with the whole experience. I wished that I was eating there tonight, but life on the road doesn’t allow.

Very delicious! 😋 I found the fish spread a little on the salty side, but not fried roe or the whole fried snapper, which was spectacular. Fresh made lemonade was a nice touch, too. Service was excellent, well worth the drive to the 136th Street location.

On a Wednesday night, I ordered the octopus (appetizer) and the paella. The octopus was so great, that I wolfed it without really stopping for breath. I appreciated that the waiter asked me whether I liked paella “soft,” or relatively more cooked. The paella was fantastic! It was extremely rich, and full of delicious sea creatures, chicken, and chorizo. The (2-person) serving size was huge. The greater part of it was boxed up to go. I threw it deep in ice in a marine cooler, and didn’t finish it until Saturday, three days later. And it was just as good on Saturday as it had been on Wednesday. Exceptional restaurant! En serio.
