This is a must see while visiting to Miami. The pool is so clear and pretty it's from a natural spring. It has a kiddie pool, a sand area and the waterfall rock grotto you can swim inside. Pretty neat. It is deep i would wear a life vest however there were plenty of lifeguards. You have to park in this lot kinda down the street but it wasnt far and its about $20 to get in. I remember it was vending machines but im not sure if you can bring a cooler or outside food.

The Venetian pool is a pretty great experience! The water is a great cool temperature to take a break from the heat of summer! With its beautiful turquoise waters, it is a wonderful spot for family or a nice date doing something out of the usual. I will have to knock it for the parking. Although if you arrive early Enough it shouldn’t be an issue. If you arrive after 11:00 you’ll be circling a few times waiting on a spot.

I absolutely loved this place. I purchased my tickets the night before because I heard this place gets packed. I'm very happy I did because when I got there at noon on a Saturday it had already reached capacity. Parking is a little tricky because of how packed it gets. I had to circle around a few times before I found a spot. Once inside I was taken away by how beautiful and clear the water was. Word of advice: wear the life jacket if you're not a strong swimmer. The pool is super deep in some areas. However there are more than enough lifeguards standing by at all times. The seating areas get taken quickly so try to arrive early. Also the concession area is currently being remodeled so take your own snacks and drinks. This place is totally worth the $17 entrance fee. Lots of greats spots for pictures too. Will be returning soon. But probably on a weekday to avoid the crowds.

This place is absolutely gorgeous. I was working in coral gables for over a year and never stepped in. Last week I had the chance to go for the first time and they just open the place for the season. You can enjoy en relax, also I have to mention they have a good group of lifeguards that keep monitoring the area and the people in the pool. If you love to swim, you will love the 8ft deep side of the pool. Definitely looking to come back.

Was impressed with this place, nice tucked into neighborhood location and felt the pool was bigger and better than I expected. Will return to again to explore the cave area as that had just been shut down for the day, as I was swimming to it. 8ft depth nice to swim long laps in, I wondered why it would be closed for season and now I realize it’s likely the leaves that would be falling into water and too much to maintain.

This place has been here so many years! A private pool located in Coral Gables, but non residents can pay $21 non-refundable no matter rain or shine for the day! There is a waterfall, smaller shallow pool, and underwater cave. Picnic seating and seating under covering. There is a mini beach and a little Cafe to see get food that is reasonably priced. Now note if there is inclement weather they will remove you from the pools and outdoor seating for your safety. They will not refund your money..no matter how long you have been there. So choose wisely. Other than that this was a great place to spend the day. The safe was super nice and knowledgeable about the history of the pool!

Very Cool place. It has a natural spring that feeds into the pool. Historic setting. They're Celebrating 100 Years this year. Congratulations Ventian Pool.

Very well maintained. This place is big so be prepared to walk, there is a little tram that goes around but you need to get there early and get tickets for it. Love the butterfly butterfly enclosure. A big shout out to the young volunteers that release the butterflies and educates you about them!

Worth the stop! So incredibly beautiful, don’t forget your bug spray, you will get devoured! The gift shop is also beautiful. The paths are wide, there’s plenty of roads to go off on to explore. If you’re a plant lover, it’s a must! There’s a beautiful butterfly exhibitions where they release new ones every week (I believe it was 40 new butterfly a week).

Many tourists miss out on some of the most beautiful areas of Miami. Fairchild Tropical gardens is one of those absolutely beautiful gems Miami has. Driving to it you will go thru a canopy of Hugh Banyan trees which is an introduction to what you are about to experience. Once inside you will see some of the most beautiful plants you have ever seen all set in a serene peaceful setting! Don't miss the butterfly conservatory which is amazing. (SECRET TIP) once you finish head to the Wayside Market for a delicious strawberry shake about a 5 minute drive! Enjoy!!

Excellent botanical garden with a wide variety of plants and a very walkable layout. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable. The butterfly garden for international species was very well done. There is a guided tram tour you can take that will show you the highlights. Overall it's an excellent place to spend the day enjoying nature, highly recommended.

Great place for a stroll on a Sunday afternoon after brunch with my parents. The host shop was a nice entrance and the garden seemed very well maintained. We enjoyed the butterfly atrium, a lot of the science halls were open and we were able to see plants in the early/research phases and the bathroom facilities were very clean. All in all great experience…$24.99/adult seemed a bit mich but for a first-timer it was ok…

We had an amazing time. I haven't been back here since elementary school now i get to take my son. Beautiful scenery to take pictures or have a wedding. Lovely place to just walk around and be one with nature. My family and I really enjoyed it. Made a regular Saturday an enjoyable one 🌸🐊🦜🦋 And if you have SNAP, you get discounted tickets 😊

If you're looking to see rare tropical palms and other plants in the ground, this is a great place to visit to get ideas for your own garden. They also hold many special events throughout the year. Well worth the admission.

Nice street with lots of activity, shops, and the city feel.

This cool street has many nice business such as restaurants, shops, stores. It’s kept clean and well maintained.

Plenty of good food, drinks, and atmosphere. There is always something to do. Make sure to hit all the areas.

As a local, this is more of a tourist spot, but they have really modernized it and made it appealing to locals as well. I recommend coming here at least once.

Great place for restaurants and bars. Lots of posh places with very nice people and crowd

Really nice place to go for a walk and have lunch. Restaurants close a bit too early in the evening. There’s just a few spots to have a late-night drink

Nice place to spend time

Beautiful and relaxing place! You can have a picnic, a perfect place for photos, have to pay parking but worth it! Also has a beautiful restaurant! If you plan to go lr stay after 6pm, have a repellent because mosquitos are hungry in that place.

1 At Matheson Hammock park you can enjoy a day in the natural salt water tide pool where there is a restaurant and restrooms. The restaurant is open in the afternoons. Plenty of parking. 2. Boat ramps and plenty of parking. There are also emanates at the marina. 3. People of all ages can come and explore nature here their is plenty of places to fish from the shoreline and in the waterway under the bridge that spans it. This is a safe park. I rate this park to be highly user friendly in all aspects and the staff here AR very courteous and helpful. 4. There is no charge to enter or park at this park. Except for ramp fees.

The venue provides an exceptional atmosphere, convenient parking, and is ideally suited for families seeking water-based recreational activities. The views are breathtaking. The restaurant is also excellent.

I had the chance to photograph a couple here at sunset, and wow, Matheson Hammock Park doesn’t disappoint. It's one of the few places in Miami you can get those golden skies without the bustle of the city skyline. The gem that might not be as well known is just beyond the Coral Rock Shelter, a tree-canopied trails and lush greenery that look straight out of a storybook. If you’re planning a photo session, especially around sunset, I highly recommend arriving early, Old Cutler Rd gets pretty backed up during rush hour. And if you can swing it, aim for a weekday (Monday–Thursday) to avoid the weekend crowds. It’ll make the whole experience more relaxed and way more magical.

Fantastic local park right on the water where you can watch wakeboarders and kiteboarders surf the ocean and do acrobatic tricks. A nice beach surrounding a salt water lagoon with a high end restaurant to eat and drink

I haven't been here in years, but, it's always a nice place to hang, walk, and enjoy Florida.

I love this beach, mangroves,.Matheson Hammock Park is a lovely scenic park with an unusual feature--a man-made atoll pool, which is flushed naturally with the tidal action of nearby Biscayne Bay. Have to pay parking . Ride bike, walk , enjoy the sun and beach.

My sister and I had an extraordinary tour. Our tour guide was amazing, a Panamanian lady, so sorry I forgot your name. Her love for the history of this family and their contributions to Coral Gables made us love it too! The Merrick family is the reason why there is a Coral Gables!! If you love history, it's worth the trip!!

George Merrick was the Founder of Coral Gables, so a visit to the house of George Merrick is pretty incredible. Make sure you call first to get the hours of operation to visit.

This is the childhood home of George E. Merrick, the founder and developer of the City of Coral Gables. This historic landmark originally began as a 1903 frame house, and was added onto in 1910.

Thank you Patricia for the tour! We enjoyed it a lot!

An interesting place to visit and learn about the history of Coral Gables. The tour I went to was on the weekend and started at 1 pm and had a nominal fee. The tours guide, ours as well as the one from the other group who joined us at the conclusion of the first tour, were very eager, knowledgeable, and informative.

Hands down one of the best museums in Miami. One of Coral Gables’ finest landmarks. It’s the best $5 tour I can think of, our guide Laura was amazing.

The Merrick House of Coral Gables is a must in Miami. Everyone should go to get to know why it is such a beautiful community. The tour guides have first hand experience on the history of the community, and the family that had the dream to envision it. I would recommend stopping here first, then walk down to the venetian pool through the beautifully banyan tree-filled streets, and finally to the biltmore Hotel.

I've been to this Italian restaurant before, and it never disappoints! This visit was just as fantastic as the last. We were lucky to have Michell (hope I'm spelling that right!) as our server. Even though she mentioned she recently started working at the restaurant, you'd never know it-her service was phenomenal, and her recommendations were spot on. Big thanks to Michell and the whole team for making it a special night.

Had dinner here with my family this past weekend and I can see why it’s one of my mom’s favorites. Everything was incredible. Highlights for me were the patate fritte, truffle risotto, and pistachio ice cream affogato. The atmosphere was warm and lively, perfect for sharing good food and conversation. Definitely one of my new favorite restaurants.

I had an absolutely outstanding dining experience at Luca Osteria, and I have to give a special thank-you to Anthony, who delivered some of the most attentive, and genuinely warm service. He elevated the entire evening with his knowledge, timing, and hospitality. Truly exceptional. We started with the carne crudo, and it was perfection…follow by truffle pasta special rich, fragrant, and beautifully balanced without ever feeling heavy. One of those dishes you keep thinking about long after the last bite. The halibut was another highlight, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. You can tell the kitchen puts real care into technique and presentation. For drinks, the espresso martini was one of the best I’ve had. And the pistachio dessert was the perfect finale: unforgettable. From the ambiance to the service to the food, Luca Osteria exceeded every expectation. Anthony made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of, and every dish was executed with excellence. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to come back!!!

Parmesan truffle potatoes: an immediate yes. Crispy, soft, salty, perfect. The pastas always taste homemade, comforting in the way only real Italian food can. The panna cotta melts into perfection, and the pistachio dessert… unreal. Everything here feels intentional, warm, and made with so much heart. Luca Osteria is one of those classics I keep coming back to. it just never misses!

This place is now going to be a monthly staple in my life. The food here is incredible. Everything we tasted left us wanting seconds. The appetizers are amazing, so many options that we almost didn’t have room for the main course. The truffle pasta was great not too heavy on the truffle taste but definitely a generous portion. The dessert was pretty good but if you love eating skip dessert and get more appetizers! 😄

The way this Truffle pasta changed my life 💗 for $59, I would 100% order it again and again. Absolutely delicious, I still think about it. We also had the Wagyu tartar, also SO GOOD. I was very pleased and very happy! I recommend and will definitely return.

I unfortunately had to deduct a star. We were charged for two items that we should not have been. Please take time to review your bill to avoid overpaying. Off the charts! 5 stars is the very least I could do! As we were without reservations, we were seated at the bar. What a turn of events and absolute treat this turned out to be! This was quite literally a chef's table experience! The staff here is just so kind, warm and inviting - they most certainly hotel right here. We were literally showered in warm hospitality! Non-alcoholic drinks were made to my imagination and the pasta was so, so comforting and good! As a finer dining sister restaurant to the wonderful Eating House, we should have expected nothing less! Chef, Anna, Danny, Oliver and Alex we can't thank you all enough! We are grateful for this experience and will be back for a repeat!

It’s without a doubt a super creative and delicious restaurant. Both the service and the food are spectacular, with a balanced and delicate fusion of ingredients. The place itself is calm and beautiful—truly a hidden gem in Miami with class and great taste. You definitely need a reservation since it’s a small and popular spot.

If you dine in Miami, you know the difficulties there are when deciding on a place to eat. The many (many) options to choose from. Is it actually good, or is it just overhyped? Are the plates Instagram worthy, but not tastebud worthy? However, once you sift through these questions and the array of restaurants you can reserve a table at, you’ll start to find the gems. The places that do good food, good service, and good vibes. Zitz Sum is one of those places. Not surprising of course, given their bib gourmand status. But it’s another thing to actually try the plates that earned this recognition, which you totally should. To start things off, the ambience in the place was great and our waiter was fantastic. He was super knowledgeable about the menu, filled us in on what dishes are new/seasonal (check out my pic of the menu) and which are mainstays, and gave us his recommendations. Lucky for us, nearly everything we were thinking about ordering was similar to the plates he was ready to suggest. We got the bing bread, steak tartar, wahoo crudo, wonton in brodo, and charred cabbage. The bing bread was served hot and soft and the sweet Florida honey butter it came with was divine. The steak tartar was my favorite dish of the night and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. The beef was tender and seasoned well, and the ramen egg it sat in was perfectly chewy and salty. This is a steak tartar like you’ve never had before. The wahoo crudo was unique and I was hesitant at first about the thin banana slice its topped with (I’m not a fan of bananas), but I trusted the process and chef and all the flavors really came together and paired well with each other. The wonton in brodo was my second favorite dish of the night. The broth was flavorful and cozy, I was literally sipping it after all the wontons were eaten. And the wontons itself? Soft and packed with tasty chicken. Finally, the charred cabbage. Don’t sleep on this dish! It was more fulfilling and flavorful than you ever thought a cabbage could be, and the char on it gave it a nice punch of heat. At the end of our meal, we talked other Miami spots with our waiter, exchanged restaurant recommendations, and learned about Zitz Sums’ sister izakaya restaurant (called Dojo, which we will definitely be trying). Zitz Sum is subtle, yet glamorous. It makes you remember how special dining in Miami can (and should) be.

Truly surprising flavor combinations. A culinary delight. Confusing to find (in the FIFA office building), but otherwise a sanctuary of sumptuous food and courteous service. Thank you, Maynor, for your kindness! Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but do check out the flatbread, which was unexpected and unforgettable.

Our server Gabriel was awesome, and the hostess was super friendly and helpful. We did the tasting menu; very fun experience! The bell pepper cocktail is superrrrrr delicious, I’d go back just to have it. The portions were on the smaller side but still very filling and tasty ♡. Had a great experience for our anniversary, the entire service throughout the night was wonderful.

While each dish was ambitious, none of them came together. The Scallops were taken away from by the other ingredients, the cabbage was hard, one of the chickens was ok, the other way over salted. The dumplings were below average while the sauce was decent, the truffle dumplings were good though way overpriced as was everything, like the $16 breads. The rock shrimp curry rice was not good. The steak tartar was ok. The cucumber dish was ok though tiny. Was excited coming in, left feeling we hit an off night. Every dish needed a serving utensil, had to ask for one to be brought almost every time a dish was dropped off. The restaurant was hard to find. Just under $100 pp. Probably won’t ever come back

I went to Zitz Sum on a date with my girlfriend last night. I believe our waitress’s name was Michelle, and she was so wonderful. Special shout out to all the staff at this restaurant for being really amazing. We had the tasting menu and a lot of the courses were very good. The wontons in particular were amazing. I wish the portions were a bit bigger since the food is so good, but I understand a lot of it is for presentation which is really amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a really quiet and unique dinning experience in Coral Gables. Very good restaurant which is propelled by the excellent staff. Oh and the French Toast was a pretty excellent dessert.

An amazing value. For $75 you will get a tasting dinner starred Michelin level restaurant with wine pairing. Every dish was excellent and presented the tremendous ability of the young chef PABLO ZITZMANN.

We walked there in the evening and had a reservation which we booked about an hour before we arrived. The food and service were excellent, our waiter was very helpful and our drinks arrived quickly. It had a real feel of a french establishment and we started with a couple glasses of Sancerre. The flavor of the french onion soup was extremely well balanced and I highly recommend their pepper steak (au poivre) which is done with filet mignon. The cook on the steak was exactly what I asked for and you can tell the chef is precise and confident with all of the dishes. The atmosphere was pleasantly subdued, dim and had its own flair, you can tell the reason this place has been around so long is because they have a reputation for success. I think either the manager or the owner stopped by our table to check in on us as well, which we appreciated. We ordered their prawn special and my wife was thrilled with how it came out. I want to go back for some escargot and try their other dishes sometime. Truly a terrific experience if you want to go for some authentic french food.

I wanted beef bourguignon and found this restaurant . Even though it was ridiculous price , I insisted on ordering it. I’m not sure what the chef thought but this was NOT beef bourguignon, it was a bland , unseasoned braised beef over a cream sauce without red wine or pearl onions. He needs to watch Julia Child or go to a French Restaurant to get recipes.

The food was great and our server was amazing! We had the mussels and they were delicious. For desert, we had the warm bread pudding and it was the perfect finish to our meal. Everything we got was spectacular. Our server was also amazing at explaining all the dishes to us. Thank you, Gilberto!

Great shrimps 🍤 and tacos 🌮! Kids friendly.

Delicious French Restaurant in Miami. Very gentile owner. The duck confit is wow. Perfectly cooked, not pungent at all and just delicious!! My husband had the steak tartare which was very good as well For dessert we shared the pear tart. Very tasty and decent size to share This is the perfect restaurant if you are looking to have a not too touristy experience but a delicious meal instead.

Great parrilla experience with an authentic Argentine touch. The asador uses Quebracho logs, which give the meats a delicious, smoky flavor. The food is very good, and the detail of serving wine in a traditional pingüino bottle adds charm. Service is attentive and friendly, and while prices are on the higher side, they feel fair for the quality. The only downside is the long wait, food can take over 40 minutes to arrive. If you’re in a hurry, it may not be the best option.

Disaster? I think not! This could have easily been a terrible experience... Nico, Roly, Marcos and Elmer ENSURED that didn't happen. My original table? Didn't like the location.... Marcos fixed that. My table light? Went out twice! Elmer and Roly? Attentive and quick on the draw to fix that. And Nico? The epitome of what the restaurant stands for... Family and friends, welcoming and enjoyable. The quality of service was maintained throughout the evening, and I was there when it was extremely busy (right after 7pm and there were a couple groups of 5+). As a solo dinner party, female and visiting from outsidE the US, I felt like I found my forever Miami spot. I wish I had found this restaurant sooner. The steak was amazing (medium-well bone-in ribeye... Must have with the veggies), the drinks were on point (sambuca for the win... even for a Caribbean gal with a taste for strong drink), the dessert was great (traditional Argentinian cake with coconut and cream... a cross between a cream pie and creme brulee... Yummm) but the service? I felt like family. It was the best part of my experience. I will be back. I highly recommend.

Grazianos is an absolute gem! From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed with that unmistakable Argentinian warmth and hospitality. The atmosphere is lively yet comfortable, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal or simply spend time with good company. The food is outstanding — full of authentic flavors that celebrate Argentina’s rich culinary traditions. Whether it’s the perfectly grilled meats, fresh pastas, or delicious empanadas, every dish feels crafted with care and passion. You can truly taste the pride and heart that go into every plate. But what really sets Grazianos apart is the people. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always eager to make your experience memorable. They go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels welcome, just like family. If you’re looking for genuine Argentinian flavor, a warm atmosphere, and top-quality service, Grazianos is the place to be. Highly recommended!

We were seated in the back of the restaurants next to 3 families. Waited for over an hour and our food never arrived. The other families ate, got dessert and left. When we confronted the waitress she said there was a problem in the kitchen with our dish, never apologized and just kept on saying the food will be coming soon. We then walked out of the restaurant and went to another place. This was my second time here; the first time was 3 years ago. Idk if they changed management but our experience this time was very negative. The servers were walking by us in an empty back room just staring and offering no help; very uncomfortable setting. There are so many restaurants in the gables that would be happy to treat you right. If you are thinking about coming here with your family I would think about it twice.

Great place to grab a nice steak at a reasonable cost in Miami. Awesome selection of wines and appetizers. Super friendly staff and hand picked steaks daily. Highly recommend.

We went late night just to share a steak and we got their lomo with brussel sprouts and fries. The lomo was a little undercooked but still very good and same for the brussel sprouts, they weren’t as crispy as we hoped they would be. The fries were very yummy! Would visit again.

Easily one of our favorite restaurants in Miami. We went there 2 nights in a row. Excellent service and inviting atmosphere. The staff is incredible and so warm. Thank you!

We went just for coffee. I had a cappuccino and hubby had a flat white. Both were delicious. Atmosphere was pretty quiet (we are the only ones in there). Very clean coffee shop.

I had high hopes for this place, but the experience was a letdown from the moment my coffee arrived. It was served in a heavily chipped and damaged enamel mug. I'm not talking about a quaint, rustic charm; I'm talking about jagged edges where the enamel has clearly flaked off. It's not only unappetizing to look at, but it raises serious concerns about hygiene and safety. Are there flakes of enamel in my drink? It's a health hazard waiting to happen. Service was great I have to say, she was as concerned as I and brought me coffee in a different cup.

I was in Miami to do a photo shoot and arrived early so I stopped by Threefold Café for breakfast. The food was fresh and full of flavor, and the coffee was the perfect start to the morning. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. It was the perfect place to recharge before my shoot. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in town.

It took me ten years (!!) to get over to Threefold but so happy I made the trip! The Apple Crumb French Toast is perpetually going to live rent free in my head + heart, quality and meaty bacon, a killer lavender tea concoction, and one one of the most interesting hash browns I've ever had. Perfectly crunchy on the outside and wonderful softness/pure potato flavor inside. Normally I would want my hash browns to be salted more but the mild seasoning actually worked so well with everything else. Also made took me back to enjoying being on the boardwalk in the NE. Cool wind on the face and enjoying some boardwalk fries to boot! So love when food brings you back to lovely memories such as that. And it goes without saying that my server Monica really added that extra bit of awesome to the experience. Super lovely and such a great sense of humour! The only thing that will get a little nitpick from me is the coffee. Got a flat white (which was wonderfully smooth and strong) but would have love to see a little more nuance in the overall coffee flavor profile. Will make a point not to have it be another ten years to get back round to Threefold XD

One of my favorite places in the Gables. Today I decided to change things and not order the Brekkie Sanga, my favorite, and went with the avocado toast Italiano with a poached egg on top and a side of tomatoes. Absolutely delightful. One negative, though, I paid $38 for this breakfast. A bit too much for an avocado toast, isn’t it?

Best spot we patroned while in Miami. Food was excellent, staff was phenomenal, and the vibe was great! Can't recommend enough. Make this a stop on your visit.

I visited this café for brunch and had a great experience. We ordered the Avocado Toast “Piu Italian” and the French Toast with nuts and berries, both dishes were delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The avocado toast had a fresh, vibrant taste, and the French toast was perfectly balanced with sweetness and texture. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy a slow brunch. Overall, a lovely place with great food and a calming vibe. I’d definitely come back!
