"Overall, the Ritz Carlton and this restaurant seem like a shadow of their former selves, giving off the impression that they are trying too hard to be something they are not. The service was painfully slow; we waited nearly 30 minutes for our drinks and after 50 minutes, our appetizers still hadn't arrived. The server provided reasons and excuses but didn’t offer any apologies, and things didn’t improve even after we raised our concerns. I ordered the Cobia from the Miami Spice menu, which is supposed to be a regional prix fixe option, but the portion was quite small. My brother ordered the Sea Bass from the regular menu and received a serving that was easily four times the size, despite Sea Bass being a pricey item. This leads me to suspect that the prix fixe meals are intentionally smaller, as evidenced by the tiny sliver of Key Lime Tart that was included as the dessert. My wife had the prix fixe pasta, which was a decent size, but that’s to be expected with pasta. And let's talk about the prices: cocktails start at $17 and a glass of wine is $14! On top of that, they automatically added an 18% gratuity to our bill without mentioning it, even though we were just a party of three. The total for dinner, with two of us opting for the prix fixe menu, and sharing three cocktails and one glass of wine came to a staggering $270! What a disappointment!"

"As I opened the first window, a woman from a nearby table came over and aggressively closed it without saying a word. I assumed she wanted to minimize the noise from the bar, so I moved to another window and checked with that table. They agreed to let me open it, but the same woman got up and shut it again, this time giving me an unpleasant glare. When I reopened it, I explained that the guests at the table were fine with it. At this point, it was evident that this woman was either heavily intoxicated or under the influence of something because she was struggling to stand and her eyes were barely open. To my shock, she revealed that she was the owner and forbade me from opening the windows. I told her that if she wouldn't turn on the air conditioning or allow the windows to be opened, I wouldn’t be paying my bill, as her behavior was completely unprofessional. Her husband, who also claimed to be an owner, approached and said he’d cover my bill, but his demeanor was far from polite. I later learned he also instructed the bartender not to serve us anymore, which was absurd since we had only had two drinks and were clearly not impaired. The bartender, sympathetic to our situation, chose to disregard the owner's directive. When I asked for my bill at the end of the night, hoping to leave a good tip for the bartender, I was shocked to see a charge of $150. I called the bartender over and reminded him that the owner had promised to cover my bill. He explained that although he took some drinks off, I was still expected to pay. Unfortunately, by that time, the owners had left, leaving no one to address the issue. Not wanting to create a scene or give the bartender a hard time, I paid it, but I will never return. This is not the kind of establishment I can support. They don’t care about their customers and exhibit classless, rude behavior."
