I Love music, and I love people. I feel that music is and has historically been a way of interpreting and expressing all the diversity in life and our experiences and that our instruments are our tool of expressing, whether it be the drum, guitar, piano, voice, sitar, etc. My inevitable goal here is to help you(student) obtain the technical, theoretical understanding to help you express your own message and story musically and or achieve any musical standard that one connects too and wishes too achieve.
Teaching Philosophy -
My teaching philosophy is really built on well rounded communication and multiple facets of explanation and examples so that a student can truly understand and learn a topic, surrounded in a very humorous, light and supportive environment.
I feel that along with being provided good information a student learns better and feels more motivated to learn when there is a balance of positive support and confidence building accompanied by constructive criticism and examples/information that can help a student assess what ever walls they may be meeting in their musical growth.
I understand that all students/artists have different goals they wish to achieve. So it is very important to me to accommodate each individuals needs and wants and help them grow in the fields they wish too; However, In that I have played music for a long time I understand there are certain things that a student may not have been exposed to yet, it is also important to me to also supply a well rounded education environment along with the fields in which the student wants to focus specifically on.
I truly believe music has an amazing influence on the world and has the ability to change peoples way of thinking. Therefore, I try and keep an open awareness to all music so I can understand all the different musical languages utilized to communicate to people, and don't believe I will ever know them all. I hold it to attention to influence my students somewhat similarly so that they can shape the landscape of how we communicate musically in the future.
I also try and be very patient with my students, empathizing, knowing that when I feel rushed it makes it more difficult to comprehend, remember and allocate a topic or musical piece. I love watching the gears run in my students head so I try and provide information that pushes a student but is within their musical computation abilities.
HUMOR is very important. I like to break people out of their shell by telling a joke and hopefully getting one back so they feel more comfortable and free. One of a musicians worst enemies are nerves I feel that keeping things light-hearted and maybe even a little small talk can be very helpful to a students development and growth in a topic. After all Music is meant to be fun and we should enjoy every moment of it, in fact we should enjoy every moment in life period.
I understand music requires focus and discipline and I have certain expectation of a student to understand that and practice. You can't buy chops you can't buy music theory etc. you can get help but eventually your the one who must understand it and play it.
I am here to help you. Based on what I know and what I have extensively studied I will do all that I can to help you achieve your musical goals. I am here to answer your questions and help you grow. I love teaching because I love sharing knowledge as long as your seek it, it is here for you. Otherwise, I'd still love to hear some jokes.
In short I love teaching and I love seeing my students accomplish things and get what they want. I am here to help that happen and here to help you elevate your skills and perspectives on music.
Education -
I was born touring with the grateful dead and my whole life has been saturated in music. I received my first guitar when I was 11 and it has been my life since. Soloing within a week I started gigging soon after being acclaimed by some as a child prodigy and now have been doing so ever since.
-After studying extensively on my own (self taught) for 2 years or so, after which I received a full scholarship to a performing arts private school in Santa Monica called Garden of Angels where I studied guitar with Bruce Buckingham (Professor at Musicians Institute and nationally acclaimed guitar player) along with many others. While attending this school I also studied in music ensembles, and musical appreciation along with dance, acting, art/painting etc. and various other art forms.
I consider it supremely important to be well rounded and I have a history of achieving in diverse musical environments. I can't wait to meet you all and begin to learn together and help you achieve your musical aspirations.
Much Love,
Azuri Zen M.
*** Lesson Details ***
I'm very disciplined but am also very light hearted. It's important for me to assess things seriously so that one can understand a topic or piece of information; yet, it also important to me for a student to feel comfortable and relaxed when learning and performing so I try and joke and keep things positive.
I generate my lessons based on the individuals needs and therefore draw from various curriculum sources and various other sources and examples such as : MI curriculum for ear training, theory, single string technique, reading, rhythm guitar as well as the real book other artist books(Eric Clapton, etc.) the guitar players hand book, Bach pieces and self developed curriculum relative to the topic at hand and students personally goals amongst many others.
-Beginning students within three months of consistent lessons should have the ability to solo and playing chords to songs that they are interested in and songs provided in the lesson along with a basic understanding of the major scale and its relationship to all of the diatonic music.
-intermediate students should have an elevated understanding of scale and chord patters along with the theory that explains modal relationships and use of these concepts.
-Advanced students should learn all of diatonic scale shapes and modes assuming they don't already know them in which case their specifically situation will be assessed
-Professional students I expect to have specific questions therefore where they grow should be largely subjective.
Overall, in a short amount of time on a scale of 1 - 10 I expect to in three months at-least elevate a students musical abilities one full point if not more.

Poised, energized, and armed with unforgettable performance ability, Michelle G. is a firework in the artistic arena. Her training began at the young age of 3 with the violin, and a few years later received classes for piano and voice. Excelling in all three, Michelle developed a very passionate and dramatic personality that eventually led her to more dramatic genres such as opera and stage acting. Her aptitude to understand human emotions and relationships gives her a wide spectrum to play in as an actress. There is an organic flow to her interpretations both as an actress and musician that leads the audience to feel her emotional current. Her honest characterizations introduce deeper perspectives on what seems like the ordinary roles and storylines. Amongst the many other leads that she has played, her participation in roles like "Susanna" in The Marriage of Figaro, or "Donna Elvira" in Don Giovanni embody much vibrancy and integrity.
Through the development of her voice as a singer and actress, she has crossed over into other media such as voice over commercial work and vocals for pop/main stream music productions. She has recently participated as a vocalist and violinist in the albums of artists such as international jazz pop artist David Longoria, Latin pop singer Erick Bolivar, Grammy-nominated percussionist Souhail Kaspar, and American Idol's Seysha. Over the last few years she has unraveled her musical skills as a songwriter/composer/arranger and has even had some small victories acquiring music placements on TV shows (NCIS, short film "Sumtin' Like Dat", The Dictator) for herself and some of her colleagues. Her inner brilliance is lighting a unique path before her, and she is bravely embracing each step forward in a promising creative career.
Michelle completed her Associates of Arts for Music/Music Education at the age of 18, and got later graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Miami with a Bachelor's of Arts for Musical Theater and Music Business, as well as from Florida International University with a Master's of Music in Vocal Performance.

I tailor my lessons to my student's needs, style, abilities, and goals. Learning is truly a fun and passionate adventure for me, and my enthusiasm has consistently been a contagious quality :) I love to challenge myself & my students to discover how immense their true potential is, and I create a safe and fun environment to explore such facets.
My curriculum is combination of solid tradition (Suzuki method for piano & violin, and Bel Canto technique for singing) interwoven with pop-culture, and modern influences. Within the first 3-6 months, my students will know the basic building blocks of music - which includes scales, arpeggios, triads, intervals, technique, and performance repertoire; and for my singers this will include proper breath technique, tone placement, support, very often increased vocal range (both high and low), and will feel significantly stronger vocally and more confident getting up to sing.

I am a highly organized, outcome-driven and motivated professional musician and educator with solid experience in the classroom. For the past 25 years, I have been employed with Amati music academy and seven years on the faculty of University of St Francis.
I am very comfortable with all aspects of the current music syllabus, including teaching musical concepts (such as duration, pitch, dynamics, tone color, texture and structure) as well as performance, composition. I am fully qualified, with a Bachelor of Education in Music, Double Masters in music performance and education from University of Nottingham.
I am proficient in classical, jazz and Celtic fiddle violin and possess solid skills in piano (grade 8-13) Royal conservatory system.
Throughout my teaching career, I have been driven to help students achieve their very best. I strongly believe that music has the power to change lives – to enhance the social, cultural and spiritual lives of people, and serve as a profound medium of personal expression. Professional perform experience: The Chicago, Natalie Cole, Smokey Robinson, Three tours with Moody Blues, YoYo Ma etc....
The most important thing I look for in a student is communication skills, as well as talent. I like to nurture students and help identify their individual strengths, which is a key factor in shaping a musical persona that will make its mark both on and offstage. I do not advocate a uniform technique for all students. Physical differences and learning styles are always taken into consideration. Potential is as important to me as early achievements and experience. My goal is to help students become self-sufficient, discriminating artists. I discuss practice techniques often and develop individualized scale routines. I encourage initiative and expressive musicality as well as precision. Above all, music needs to bring obvious joy to the student, regardless of the difficulties."

The portfolio that acts like a personal assistant
A far cry from those flimsy, frumpy portfolios that all your stuff falls out of. Ours is moisture- and stain-repellent 100% cotton oil cloth with rugged cowhide leather reinforcements. Inside, storage space abounds with sleeves sized to hold a notebook or iPad®, plus divider pocket for documents. Zippered pocket corrals business cards or loose change, 2 pockets for pens and a flap secured phone pocket. Zips shut to prevent spillage, with a handle you can grab and go.

Best Uses
I attend many meetings via bus. This portfolio is small enough for carrying easily, yet large enough and totally compartmentalized so that I am completely organized with all items safe in their proper places. Best portfolio I have ever had. Thanks.
Really like. Hold phone and tablet, paper, pen and more.
Best Uses
I purchased this because I needed something to carry my folders from work home. Its light, very durable, nice color and material. Just the right amount of pockets and the zipper keeps everything in. This is a great find for someone wanting something simple to carry some office work.
Best Uses
I use different portfolios for different committees and this is great to use for keeping things safe (zipper!) plus it's a good size to fit into totes. The handle is a bonus for carrying it solo. Its weather-resistant material is utilitarian yet looks good no matter what the situation - outdoors or in!
Best Uses
Being retired, I use it to organize and carry-on my travel reservations and other paper-based travel matters. I like that it is slender and light. An outside pocket will hold your tablet and there is an inside pocket that will hold your mobile. Best of all for me, it keeps me from carting around too much needless information when traveling. If you need a lot of different section sleeves and more intense categorization this would not be your best choice

Works great for caring folder from work to home

My MOST favorite!
This is by far my most favorite scent - the "Eucalyptus Hand Lotion". I would describe the scent as fresh and clean AND it can be used on the entire body. I've had people stop me and ask me what type of cologne I was wearing - "no cologne just Thymes Eucalyptus"! I've also purchased it for gifts for friends and they love it too! You just have to try it...
Was this review helpful?

I'm in Heaven with Thymes
A long time ago a friend gave me some lotion from Thymes....I loved it but couldn't remember the name of the product, only that it smelled wonderful like eucalyptus. Recently this friend came into view and reminded me of the lotion which I bought immediately....and love it all over again.
Now my sweetheart of seven years does not like fragrances and prefers I not wear them....however, when I just used this cream around my neck and arms, guess what?....he started complimenting me on how good I smell! How is that for a recommendation?
I'm in heaven with Thymes.
Eucalyptus Hand Lotion!
I simply love the eucalyptus hand lotion!
I use it on my hands and arm mostly, but also use it on my neck, so it gives me the moisture I so need this time of year, and the fragrance stays with me for hours of loviness! Mmmmmmmmmm!
What a Great Gift! Even for Yourself!
The order came just like I would expect it to. In a nice box and looking like something important. You can tell it is not a cheap scent. It smells clean, fresh and the memories are right there. What a great thing to share with friends and loved ones.
If you don't have any memories yet--this is the time to make them. I am a home builder and I am still surprised every time someone asks what that great smell is on me. When I tell them it is Thymes Eucalyptus, they are instantly hooked. I have never seen anything like it. Great stuff!
Eucalyptus Energizing Hand Lotion
I received a little sample of this hand lotion. I had never heard of your company before. As soon as I opened this sample I got online and ordered some right away! I must say every time I put this on and walk around at work everyone says wow that smells so "Good" This is Thymes best product and everyone should try this! The evergreen and Jojoba smell is so luxurious! I makes your hands so smooth and moisturized and energized. I love the packaging the orders come in. It makes ordering from you so exciting! Thank you for the spa quality products at a great price.

In collaboration with the Nassau County Veterans Service Agency, the Village of Westbury and the Westbury-Carle Place Chamber of Commerce, Viana, a recently constructed small luxury hotel featuring a number of green initiatives located at 3998 Brush Hollow Road, will host a complimentary wedding ceremony – and provide accommodations for a honeymoon – to one active duty or retired service member (who has been honorably discharged) living here in Nassau County.
"It's a big event, there's no doubt about it. We're psyched about it," Frank Frisone said, president of the Westbury-Carle Place Chamber of Commerce and store manager at TD Bank on Brush Hollow Road.
Frisone said Viana General Manager Nancy Lupo presented the idea to him over lunch when Frisone, whose bank neighbors the hotel, went to introduce himself after the Viana first opened in October 2011. Since that time, many local organizations and merchants have offered to be a part of the event.
"All the sponsors are giving from their business; the veteran is not really paying at all. We have a bunch of people that want to be involved, but we're still looking for local merchants to donate whatever they can," Frisone said, noting that planners are still looking for an organization willing to donate tuxedos and a wedding cake.
"A lot of people from the chamber are donating their services. Michele [Cacioppo] from Sir Speedy is doing the invitations, CPA services from Brian [Freidman], flowers from Joe [Reider] at San Giorgio and more," Frisone said.
Any honorably discharged Nassau County veteran or active duty service member looking to tie the knot this upcoming Veteran's Day must produce a copy of his or her DD214 if chosen. Applicants must write a description (100 words or less) by Sept. 24 noting why he or she should be chosen. The description should be mailed (postmarked no later than Sept. 24) to the Veterans Service Agency, Building Q, East Meadow, N.Y. 11554, Attention: Joseph N. Pascarella, Acting Director.
"The NCVA is really doing all the legwork. They sent out 1,000 letters to veteran organization and veterans that are back from Iraq over the last 30 days," Frisone said.
Viana is a small luxury hotel and spa that houses green technology and has served the Westbury area since late 2011. The hotel said it would accommodate the chosen veteran with a guest list of up to 50 people, use of 10 overnight rooms, food and house drink choices and more. Local merchants will provide limousines, music and video services, favors, etc.

WASHINGTON - Not every parent can afford to buy their child a gift this holiday season. But the Salvation Army wants to make sure those kids don't go empty-handed.
On Saturday, 150 volunteers participated in the Salvation Army's D.C. Angel Tree Warehouse Community Day. They assembled and organized a mountain of donated toys that will be distributed to 6,000 underprivileged children in the District. More than half of the volunteers were children.
"Their parents can't afford to get them toys so we're helping them out," says 11-year-old Amalia Taylor. "They need toys so they can be happy and help their imagination."
Tashua Parker brought her son to teach him the value of community service.
"I want my son to realize how blessed and fortunate he is to have what he has," Parker says. "And I want him to know that life is about giving and helping others."
The 30,000 square-foot warehouse was filled with gifts like basketballs, bikes, dolls and skateboards.
Ken Forsythe, the communications manager for the Salvation Army National Capital Area Command, says toys were donated by Angel Tree sponsors from Virginia, Maryland, D.C., civic groups and businesses.
"Across the entire National Capital Area, the Salvation Army will be able to put a Merry Christmas smile on 14,000 children's faces because of the generosity of our sponsors," Forsythe says.
The number of volunteers for Saturday's event increased by 15 percent compared to last year. The toys will be distributed to families in mid-December.
The Angel Tree program matches sponsors with needy children. The sponsors choose gifts based on a child's age and gender. To find out more information about how to help, click here.

People are becoming more dependent on the iPad and smartphones for music. There are docks, cables and other ways to connect those portables to your AV setup. However, Marmitek can do the same thing without wires, via the BoomBoom 75 Bluetooth Music receiver.
This newly announced product can stream music from your iPhone, Android device, iPad and other compatible portables, right to your AV system. It works with all audio installations, whether you have a dock or a radio/CD player with aux-in, line-in or an MP3 connection.
Connecting the receiver to your AV system gives it a boost of Bluetooth. With the capability to stream up to eight compatible devices, this option can also provide good sound for tablet PC movies, web radio services like Spotify, or even the option to share portable music at a friends' house.
Now comes the sad news: According to the Marmitek website, the BoomBoom 75 Bluetooth Music receiver is currently only available to the European AV crowd. There's no word on if or when it will start selling in the U.S. The company, however, has it listed for €34.95/31.95GBP (just under $50 U.S.).

If you can measure the success of a brand by the number of fashion industry followers dutifully wearing the label on the day of the runway show, then Kenzo is mega successful. But the thing is this: everybody is wearing it ALL.THE.TIME. In fact, throughout the past four weeks of fashion offerings, we've not spotted anything more than Kenzo's geo prints, tiger jumpers and slogan-emblazoned sweatshirts and caps. And it's not just been fashion ed fans flashing their K-cred about, their wares have become celebrity style-status makers, too. Trusted trend-setter, Rihanna takes the crown for most Kenzo moments. So in just three seasons under the creative prowess of Opening Ceremony founders (and total arbiters of coolness) Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, Kenzo is most defs the popular kid at school.
Kenzo FROW fans M.I.A. and Leigh Lezark
Naturally then, the FROW was Kenzo'd up to the max. A favourite? M.I.A. tacking the duo's liberal texture and print mash-up. In addition to the non-stop brand-spotting we enjoyed, the show experience was a blast, too. Set in a Judo arena waaaay outta central Paris, we battled through the pre-show scrum to find a super-huge screen that burst to life with the most vibrant digital prints, jungle scenes and animals. Trippy, but totally reflective of the wildly brilliant patterns these two were also sending down the runway. As well as the little animal biscuits gifted to each attendee, we liked lots of other things about this spring/summer 2013 show…
Off-the-shoulder safari: The dichotomy of saucy shoulder-exposing dresses or blouse in utility-wear was a new one for us. And well, we always enjoy khaki come summertime.
Super sandals: A little bit sporty in shape, a little tribal with embellished beading and animal stripes, a lot gorgeous.
Cyber-leopard: Just when we thought animalier was so over, out comes a feisty blown-up multi-coloured incarnation from Kenzo. We especially liked it layered up one leopard upon another in the turquoise/orange.
Savage jewellery: Delfina Delettrez has designed jewellery for the brand for the second time and her panther paw torques will be worth getting your claws into.
Tiger update: The tiger sweatshirt gets an update from AW12 with a graphically camouflaged version and some jewel embellishment. We want already!

I have had my 610 for just over a year and couple it with a TB1200 amp. The range of sounds available is amazing as the amp has so many features such as the valve preamp and Vari - Q EQ. The cab can cope with anything the amp throws at it and its light weight is a huge surprise! I play lots of different styles and this cab can deal with them all from fingerstyle, pick and slapping. The lows are deep and full bodied - sometimes you have to back them off a bit as they would register on a seismometer! Mids a plenty and whatever you dial in the response is pretty awesome, change your whole sound with a touch on the mids. The top end is clear and clean and perfect for popping and harmonics. I have been toying with the idea of trading in and getting 2 4x10 Neos but it's a really tough call to make! whatever genre you play this cab will sound fantastic and is a great compromise between a 410 and an 810.

So you want to travel light? You're planning to spend a night here or two there, and maybe move around the island as you please. You need a B&B.
But what does an Irish B&B offer? We asked Louise McGee from B&B Ireland to answer some of the questions on the tip of your tongue...
Q: In which star category can I expect to get an en suite room as a standard?
A: Over 97% of our homes now offer en suite facilities so it would be very unlikely that clients would be offered a standard room; and if that did happen it would usually be in the approved homes and not in the 3, 4 or 5 star homes.
Q: Is a 5* cleaner or newer than a 2*?
A: We would refer to 2* homes as Approved homes, but it does not mean in any way that these homes are not as clean or as new as a 5* home. It just means that the product offering will be of a much higher standard in a 5*.
Q: Does 5* mean luxury and boutique B&B?
A: Two words that are commonly associated with a 5* B&B are luxury and boutique.
In a 5* B&B, you can expect en suite bedrooms to be elegant and stylish, offering a high standard of comfort to all guests. All of these properties have been upgraded to offer all the comforts of home and more spacious luxurious bedrooms, with beautiful furniture with large beds dressed with crisp bed linen. They will have large en suite bathrooms filled with large fluffy towels, bath tubs, power showers and complimentary toiletries.
Q: What are the approximate price differences between the ratings, and what time can you check in?
A: It is usually approx €3-5 (£2.55-4.26) per person difference between each rating. The average price per person is €32-38 (£27.25-32.36) per person sharing, but it depends on the season. Check in time is normally between 3pm - 6pm, unless otherwise agreed with the B&B owner.
Q: What exactly does a property need to do to qualify to be a 'Category B&B'?
A: This is a voluntary scheme and is open to all Tourist Board approved Bed and Breakfasts around the island of Ireland. The criteria for categorisation are based on extensive research into the needs of visitors to Ireland who wish to pursue a particular activity, such as walking or golf. B&B owners are assessed and their homes are inspected by the TSA (Tourism Standards Assessments). If the member wants to become a specialist in a particular category, they need to have the following facilities and be approved following an inspection of their home.
This page provides extensive descriptions of all current Category B&Bs. Get to know your hosts on B&B Ireland's website and you'll be all set for a break away in a home away from home.

A word from La Riviera at Sofitel Miami
Elegance, indulgence, sophistication. Each is a virtue at La Riviera - the signature restaurant at Sofitel Miami - where French cuisine and Mediterranean flavors unite, with just a hint of Latin influence. Stylishly appointed, as a reflection of our chic South Florida address, this exquisite Miami French restaurant provides a treat not only for the palette, but from a visual perspective as well - with breathtaking views of the hotel's vibrant gardens and the sparkling Blue Lagoon beyond. Enjoy an extraordinarily sensory Miami French dining experience, where vivid red glasses and floral centerpieces pose playful counterpoint to a crisp white art-deco design.Continued

- Very SatisfyingPrescottJerDined on 10/25/2014We made an overnight stop nearby and looked for a nice place for drinks and dinner. We found just that at La Riviera! Nice smaller bar just outside the restaurant and a pleasant interior inside the restaurant combined with a great view all made for a wonderful setting. The food and service didn't disappoint. We enjoyed a fine dinner there although fairly expensive. Highly recommended if you don't mind the higher prices.Special Features:
- GreatcookieDined on 10/18/2014the Resturant was beautiful would be nice if they have someone clean the windows but beside that still 5 star food was cooked good I took my boyfriend for his birthday and he enjoyed it but very priceySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 117 reviews are from the La Riviera at Sofitel Miami reviews archive.
- Nice RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/14/2014This was my 5 restaurant that I have choose in the past 5 years to celebrate my Aniversary an I can said that this is the 2nd one that my wife has enjoy., The food was very good the servers were the best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Would try againnicoleDined on 6/10/2014Friends and myself have a Restuarant.com voucher and we used it here. I was told the seafood risotto was AMAZING. I ordered the filet and was greatly disappointed. Not the best and not the worst, but not tender and tasted more like a sirloin then filet mignon. Regular water is $4, so be careful when asking for it. Wasn't prepared for the cost. They do have a great wine list and we enjoyed that. We had children with us and they seemed to enjoy their food and the outside dining. Overall the restaurant is nice and attached to a hotel so you can enjoy the bar inside, if you wanted. The service was confusing, we had several different waiters at one point and they were all SLOW. I would go again, but wouldn't go out of my way.Special Features:
- Great food, great serviceGiovanniCadornaDined on 6/6/2014A great place to have a business lunch, or a relaxed one with friends. Great set up, food and service.Special Features:
- AdrianVIPDined on 6/2/2014Great food and service. I strong recommend this place. Excellent risotto plate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary Dinner well worth itmingoadDined on 5/24/2014When we arrived to the parking lot, we thought it wasn't going to be a good dinner. Lot was empty and entering the restaurant seem like it was closed. There were a few tables taken and we were overdressed. But we still wanted to give it a chance. Daniel, our waitress, was a really nice gentleman who answered all our questions and gave us great suggestions. We had goat cheese for appetizers and it was really good. Seafod paella was huge and full of seafood. The same for the pork plate we ordered. The dessert was on the house since it was our anniversary and they gave it to us. Overall it was a romantic dinner since it felt like the restaurant was reserved only for us. Prices are cheap but the food is really good so it was worth it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/27/2014The Best... we loved...Recommend the paella and pasta.Special Features:

- Great place, great food & serviceKittysqueakyDined on 4/16/2014This is a very nice restaurant at a really nice hotel overlooking a lake. The food was excellent and the service was superb. Would definitely recommend this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Schlechter Service, PlastikfolieFrobDined on 3/22/2014Schlechter Service, Plastikfolie im Essen, schmutzige Tische wurden erst nach Reklamation abgeräumt, Stühle sehr verschmutzt. Foie Gras wurde durch Lachs ersetzt, für ein Sofitel Hotel unmöglich!
- my birthday celebrationOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 3/19/2014this restaurant was amazing, I loved everything about it. the waiter was super nice as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just that the kitchen wasOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 3/15/2014Just that the kitchen was shorhanded and it took an extremely long time between courses, although the head server was extremely nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quiet Night OutOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/8/2014The place gives off a very relaxing vibe. The decorations are all white and gives the diner a feeling of serenity. The food was very good and did not disappoint any of the people in our party. Our server was excellent and was very attentive. I would like to go back for a quite night out.Special Features:
- Best Kept SecretVIPDinerVIPDined on 2/22/2014La Riviera as well as the Sofitel, is a best kept secret. While being an airport hotel restaurant, it is fresh and modern with exciting dishes and good service. And even better for a romantic date night. The only con is not having a really hip and reasonably price wine list. That would set it completely apart from the pack!Special Features:
- Great food, out of this worldOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/14/2014Great food, out of this world ambiance, waitress very polite, food served fast, very romantic, we will be back for sure.Special Features:
- A Valentine's NightLovingcouple1Dined on 2/14/2014On our Valentine date night we have to say the Sofitel Restaurant that we celebrated in was very romantic with the beautiful ambience created by the staff. The presentation of the food and the limited menu was just enough for the chef to prepare excellent meals with what should have been a short wait for the food. There comes the problem with this restaurant is that the service in my area at least was not as good as it could have been if my my waiter didn't have to attend other tables all over the floor.This is the fault of the restaurant manager for not assigning the tables within a simple square grid. Waiting for your wait staff to eventually show up to attend where they left off can take many points away from the entire dining.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Valentine's DayRichCDined on 2/14/2014At first they put us at a table for four. We had a reservation. They finally moved us to a table for two. The food was good to very good. The atmosphere was quiet and romantic. It took about 35 to 40 minutes to get our check after we finished eating.Special Features:
- Delicious but smallTaster69Dined on 2/8/2014The cooking was great as was the presentation. I would have liked more because of the taste and the price. I believe they could double the portions and still make money. On a side note the service was also vey good and the waiters and waitresses were very attentive but allowed you to enjoy your meal and your company.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, great serviceGiovanniCadornaDined on 2/6/2014A great place that exceeded, our expectations, not just the food, but the outstanding service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OkZionpunkVIPDined on 1/15/2014Everything was just ok... Nothing stood out, except the prices
- Great restaurantPLLLLVIPDined on 12/31/2013Went here for New Year's Eve, and boy am I glad I did! A seven course meny for a reasonable price, and it was so much worth it. Service was outstanding, with a very attentive server. Even though there was a set menu, they exchanged one of the courses for me without any fuss. Food was excellent and well balanced, and the bread basket was very good. The restaurant was quiet and sophisticated. Would probably go again if I end up in Miami.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovely (thought not as usual)NanyVIPDined on 12/6/2013We have been going there quite often (be it for breakfast, lunch or dinner). Surprisingly, this last time, something was off: service was lacking, our breakfast was cold...and our waiter disappeared. So don't go for late breakfast...but usually, we LOVE this place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- La RivieraPengPollyDined on 11/10/2013It was very empty when we walked into the dining room. Only 2 tables with guests. Staff was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the dinner menu as well as the wine list. We ordered the Duck Magret which was served in a bowl and impossible to handle properly with a dull knife. I requested they change the bowl for a regular plate and to hand me steakknife. Food was well prepared and garnished. Dessert Creme Brulee was lacking in quantity and consitency. Even though the attendace of the waiting staff was excellent, this is not a place I would go back to for lack of ambience.Special Features:
- Positively wonderful.NanyVIPDined on 11/8/2013This place is just GREAT!!! Breakfast, lunch or dinner (even late dinners) are just great!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Specialspecial2foodDined on 9/14/2013Overall the food was great but my husband order the surf and turf and the lobster was extremly soft. In place of the lobster we got 4-5 shrimps and no discount on the bill. We had to ask for the cocktail menu which had more food selections and drinks but we had already ordered our food. The pictures online showed the pool area with lights but it was very dark outside so we coulnt enjoy the scenic viewSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- not as good as previous experiencesTiToDined on 9/2/2013we have been here a couple of times and never had complaints. we went last labor day, the restaurant was to ourselves, no other party while we were there, and everything was as good as ever EXCEPT the food. i ordered that pork tenderloin and pork belly with malanga (in my opinion it was not malanga but is ok) and potato mash, pork was not bad but can't say it was good (i could not define the flavor of the gravy). my wife ordered lamb rack medium well but came "almost" medium. we ended up switching plates because she couldnt eat it. as i said, not my best experience but since i've had good ones there i'll give it another chance!I would recommend this to a friend.
- light business lunchOliverDined on 8/5/2013I liked the ambience of this restaurant. The service is polite and quite discreet, which is well appreciated. Food quality is very good even if more quantity would be welcome.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Over pricedWoozieVIPDined on 6/14/2013This restaurant is beautiful and the food was good, however, the portions were very small and the price was very high.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice to hear table mates speaking!DrewVIPDined on 5/31/2013The menu, food and service are reliable. What I like and why I go back again and again is because this is a lovely space where you can visit with your guests. Most every restaurant in Miami is raucous noise and shouting. I find loud spaces annoying and off putting. I live in Miami. It's a pleasure to have this fine dining experience a relief from the typical noise and ordinary food choices that underwhelm. By the way, the food here is very good, wonderfully presented, and the service is terrific. I continue to go back here for its modern, upscale and quietly sophisticated ambience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Would Definitely Go BackNYDinerDined on 3/30/2013La Riviera has a clean, modern decor. The restaurant was not very busy when we went, so we were able to converse without having to shout over crowd noise. The menu was excellent; I would not have minded ordering most of the choices available. The food was beautifully presented and was well prepared. Service was really good; our waitress was friendly and checked in with us every so often without being intrusive. Dessert was not as good as the rest of the meal, but I would still recommend La Riviera as a really good French place.Special Features:
- We were staying at a nearfoodieVIPDined on 3/4/2013We were staying at a near by hotel and ate here. It was wonderful. Although it is in a hotel, is was every bit as good as any other high end restaurant. It is located in a business park so there will never be lots of people there, but we were very pleased.Special Features:
- Best lunch option in the area...Manny3Dined on 2/26/2013Food is the best in the area, but not amazing. Menu items are very limited. For a quick lunch, it is a golden spot. Service is outstanding.Special Features:
- We went there because of highOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 2/3/2013We went there because of high reviews but it was certainly overpriced for what they offer. The food wasn't bad but nothing special. We won't be back and I won't recommend it.
