This is the newest of the triad of restaurants run by Marianne - the top notch restauranteur in Florence. If you like the Waterfront Depot and you like a bit more of an Asian flair - and music - then this is the place to go. I ate there recently and ordered the Spice Delight - a variety of Dim... More

Eclectic menu. Not too crowded (yet). Don't let the 'spice' scare you. Most menu items are not too 'spicy' - I'd describe it as 'full of flavor.' Flavors the chef is able to bring out out are comforting and exciting at the same time. Spicy Seafood Pot was over the top, again not too spicy. Salmon cooked perfectly. Desserts are... More

Slow service, seating left no room to move around. What ever showed up on our plates was not what was advertised on the menu... The food was cold when it arrived at the table. However, the bill arrived promptly! People sitting next to us (or rather on top of us) were asked to vacate their table almost before they were... More

Came in when they first opened for the day. Hubby had really great raw oysters & beer. I had white wine and messy baba. Was so yummy I went straight back to Florida to replicate this "waffle fry- lamb- Greek deliciousness" for my family (which I still make today) this place is great!

We've eaten there twice now and the food has not lived up to our expectations given the excellent food at her other locactions (particularly the Waterfront). We found the Seafood Buffet to be an excellent value but the food was only so-so. Perhaps we expected too much. We planned Valentines late and it was the only place we could get... More

Went for the 1st time last Friday after getting a text from a friend concerning the $17.95 buffet and I had to go. Awesome and I was stuffed with great fish, shellfish and pasta/rice. I understand they are geared to a spicy eastern cuisine, but since I didn't try it yet, I'll have to wait to the next time I... More

The menu draws from several Asian countries, all of which I've traveled in. The flavors were generally authentic and the dishes very well prepared, with nice presentation. The portions are too large for my taste, but I think I'm in the minority here. My companion and I shared an appetizer and I was still unable to eat more than half... More

Same owner as 1285 Restobar and Waterfront Depot, so figured it must be good. Well the food is great but they have some presentation hurdles to get over. Even the server seemed to be frustrated with getting the plates on the table. The food was generally "deconstructed" but I'd say too far -- it took too much work to eat!... More

The food was not good. We tried many things from the crab cakes(very lacking crab) to noodles (no flavor) to the sasuges. Everything we ate didn't taste quite right. Like they were trying to live up to the name by putting every spice in every dish. Very overwelling! Will not go back
