Love this place, excellent food - excellent service. The ceviche is so good. I like the fact that they have an open kitchen and you can see the team prepare your dishesThe space has a rooftop garden that falls into the space itself and it's pretty neat being able to see the moon at night while having dinnerWill be backXxParking: Parking lot in the back of the building
I've been to places that are "overly expensive" especially in Miami Beach where you'd expect it. However, I wasnt really impressed.1. They removed the amazing Sakura/Cherry Blossom Tree, which was a major part of the atmosphere. Kind of a letdown.2. The food/setting didn't "justify" the price whatsoever. $600+ for two people for the quality was not great. The highlight of the meal was supposed to be some Australian Cooked Wagyu Sirloin and it was arguably one of the most disappointing steaks I've ever had. It was sliced great, but overcooked, surprisingly dry, and (although they provide course salt on the plate) unflavorful.3. If you order one of the small plate coursed meals, everyone is forced to order the exact same coursed selection. Again, for the price..I should have the option.On the upside, both times I've been here it was easy to find parking right in front, but that might be because I got reservation closer to opening hours.Our server checked on us often, management acknowledges you often, and the bussing staff comes to clean up very frequently. They definitely keep an eye out for anything out of place.The shishito peppers and the yellowtail sashimi were very flavorful.In my opinion, this place was nicer about 3-4 years ago. I enjoyed the food a bit more back then. I probably won't be back. It's a hassle to drive through Miami traffic to get here and not be blown away by the food for the price.Dietary restrictions: If you have allergies to peanuts or shellfish, the coursed selections might not be for you. They can make some adjustments, but you might be better off getting the entrees instead.Parking: In my experience, if you get here within an hour or two after opening (which is 5pm), you should be able to find roadside parking.Wheelchair accessibility: There were no stairs or obstacles restricting wheelchair access.

The food is amazing and very flavorful. The service is on point. Music and ambiance? very pleasant. But a party of two with 2 drinks in happy hour ($42-21=21), ended up paying $200 per person. Almost $100 for tip and tax!? Do I recommend this place? Yes!

Mixture of restaurant and club, too loud to hear the nice waiter, but hip music and cool ambience. Tasting menu overpriced and a shame for all fans of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine.2 courses of chicken, 1. dry and overly breaded, 2. fatty..., the other courses, well , ceviche great, but mini portion.

We came for dinner on a Friday evening and were seated at a great corner table in a booth. We were served by William and he did an amazing job. So attentive and friendly and he made sure to almost run to us when we waved him down. He was great and we will be back just for him ! Food and drinks were good too !
CHOTTO MATTE was a wonderful experience right from the moment you walk through the unassuming, hidden-ish entryway in an alley off of an otherwise touristy area. The hosts were great and welcoming and ambiance was instantly exciting. We were greeted at our table with welcome Pisco Sours, a great treat!We got the first tasting menu with a slight modification as we were a mostly pescatarian table. Every course was delicious and flavorful, and we were all delighted and stuffed. It was a ton of food, but it was a rainy day so we ate it all as we had no where else to be. The dessert was an amazing spread and a great way to cap off the meal.Dietary restrictions: Pescatarian

Im not sure who’s rating this restaurant, but it has to be one of the worst food experiences. The staff here are top notch and the service is outstanding! Each dish had great ideas, but the execution was completely missed. The only thing that was enjoyed was the vegan roll. We had such high hopes since the Toronto restaurant was good. This was just Blah! I can’t even say a positive note about anything. From too sour sauces to doughy churros…it was a lot of money spent for 5 people to agree this was NOT the play. Now we are from Toronto, so maybe this is Miami flavour? So disappointing! I have to add that we each at a lot of high end restaurants; so This is not about not having a refined palette.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options!
