"Consider the following with the knowledge that the reservation was for Valentines Day and made a week prior to the event. I intended to propose to my girlfriend at this dinner. Here's the issue. When making reservations through open table you don't get to speak with anyone at the actual restaurant. In all cases I’ve always called the restaurant itself to confirm the reservation and get any details that might be helpful. I’ve never had a problem doing this. In the case of L'Edito no one will answer the phone. EVER. I tried many times at different times of the day so I could explain that I intend to as this wonderful woman to marry me and I wanted everything to go just right. I work out of town often and setting this up in Miami was difficult. I made the mistake of trusting that all would be fine. The restaurant is located on the water in Miami Beach but their website does not show that they have an inside area too so I assumed we would be dining outside under the stars. It was a perfect night weather wise and I was excited. When we arrived we were immediately told that if we didn’t specify and outdoor table we would be seated inside. Trust me when I say the inside of this establishment is akin to a truck stop diner. I asked why no one answered the phone and was smugly told they were probably busy seating people outside. My girlfriend, dressed in beautiful red dress and heels, was furious. I don’t care how good their food may be but this type of arrogance is a total dealbreaker. If you’d like to be treated like you don’t belong, have a go at L’Edito. You won’t be disappointed."
