Despite my skepticism, and very convincing bad reviews on Casablanca's I went to the restaurant expecting to eat my words and have an experience that I could tell my friends about. But just walking in the door the smell was enough to make me want to turn around and walk right back out, it smelled like an old meet market in the middle of Hialeah, anyone who has been to one there would know what I'm talking about. For those of you who don't, it smells like the catch of the day, but more like the catch of yesterday 10 years ago! Not only was the service very sub-par, but the thing about the sneaky charges on that pretty blue bottle of water on the tables that I read about is very true! BEWARE OF THE BLUE BOTTLED WATER!! They wait until you sit there growing roots to tell you there's water on the house if you didn't want the pretty blue bottled water, which honestly is a scam, because it says it's sparkling water, but the water from the spout from my home tastes just the same! Then not only do they charge you for it, but they tried to charge us for 3 which we were positive we didn't drink 3 bottles of that water! The food was disgusting! I had the fish sandwich with the coleslaw and fries...after witnessing the horrible service and remembering the reviews, i thought it was safest to order something inexpensive so if I didn't like it, I didn't feel like I wasted alot of money, and I was right! it had noooooo taste whatsoever, the tartar sauce was the best thing about the sandwhich, the fist had no taste at all! The fish sandwich at Mcdonald's tastes much better! AND the coleslaw tasted ransid. My daughter-in-law had the two lobster tails...she let me taste her dish, it was awful, the taste was terrible...my son had the surf and turf...he ended up trying to give away his food to everyone at the table, but we had already had enough tasting of bad food. But I can tell you, the owner of the restaurant was sitting at the table behind us and their service was great! Just rediculous! don't go there, save your money and go someplace else in Miami, I've had better seafood in little hole in the wall places in Miami! This place sucks! Wished I could have eaten my words instead of their food!
