Know before you go

  • Walk-in and seat-yourself — there is no host and service is informal.
  • A mandatory service charge is added to the check, so read the bill before tipping again.
  • Portions are modest for the price, typical of South Beach; the crab dip is heavily garlicked.
  • Champagne and beer only — no full liquor program.
