The 50 best fancy restaurants in Miami

After several visits to Miami, we were finally able to get a reservation at Cote — it’s a popular spot, so I highly recommend booking in advance to secure a table. The restaurant has an elegant atmosphere, but I wouldn’t suggest dressing too formally, as the meat is cooked right at the table and the smoky aroma tends to linger on your clothes. You can already sense that smoky scent as soon as you walk in, with the aroma of grilled meat filling the space from every table. There’s a bar area where guests wait until their table is ready. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and professional — the level of service is truly excellent. The bar offers a wide variety of cocktails, though some are served from cans into a glass, which was a bit unexpected. The food is plentiful, with a generous selection of meats and side dishes. The meat is grilled at the table, enhanced by the wonderful attention and care of the staff. They also have an excellent wine list. Given that it’s a Michelin-starred restaurant, I was expecting a bit more in terms of flavor balance and the overall presentation. Still, it’s a lovely experience for those who enjoy high-quality grilled meats. I do recommend it.

Good service, the restaurant staff constantly came over to check if everything was okay and if we needed anything. The cocktails were surprisingly delicious, and the atmosphere was pleasant and interesting. The food... it's hard to evaluate when the meat is almost all raw and cooked to order, but it was good. We will definitely be back and recommend visiting.

COTE Miami is incredible! The food, service, and atmosphere are all top-tier. The Butcher’s Feast is 100% worth it! every cut of meat was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The staff is super attentive without being overbearing, and the vibe strikes the perfect balance between elegant and lively. Can’t wait to go back!

I went here for my Birthday and COTE Miami delivers a refined dining experience with standout quality. We opted for the Butcher’s Feast every cut was well-marbled, flavorful, and high quality. While the staff typically grills the meats tableside for you, we chose to cook them ourselves. Even so, the team remained attentive, frequently checking in to offer tips and techniques to help us perfect each cut, a thoughtful touch that elevated the experience. Side dishes and soups were equally impressive and well-balanced. However, despite having a reservation and arriving early, we still experienced a notable wait. The bar lacked seating, and the noise level made conversation difficult not ideal for those seeking a more relaxed or intimate setting. Still, the food and service are undeniably strong. A solid 4-star experience and highly recommended for those looking to enjoy elevated Korean steakhouse dining with a modern twist.

Honestly, this place really impressed me! We thought it was just a regular Korean BBQ spot, but it’s actually a higher-end experience. The menu is unique — you can order combos with different types of meats, and the staff cooks everything for you perfectly. They even explain how to enjoy each item for the best flavor and texture, which makes the whole meal feel really special. There’s also a nice little bar at the entrance, so if you have to wait for your table, you can relax and have a drink first. The staff was super warm and welcoming — they even took the time to chat, ask about the occasion, and make sure we were having a great time. Definitely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Miami Beach. Highly recommend!

A next-level dining experience. Attention to detail unmatched. COTE Miami absolutely crushed it. Steak was unbelievable… but the moment that stood out most? Their hospitality. We are in the fruit & vegetable industry, and Bram along with the team picked up on that right away. They surprised us with a custom fruit dessert that showcased what they have in-house. When Bram came by the table, he said “Since you guys have a produce company, we wanted to show you something special.” That level of attention told me everything I need to know about this place. They don’t just serve amazing food. They make every visit feel personal, thoughtful, and elevated. If you want to feel taken care of at the highest level, COTE Miami is the spot. We’ll be back, often.

We had a wonderful dinner that was guided by our awesome server. Drinks were awesome, service was amazing. We will definitely be back. Almost forgot to mention but the butcher’s feast was mouthwatering.

113 years and going as strong as ever. Two hour wait at 7:00pm, so MAKE reservations in advance! Super large bar perfect for a drink before. Bread service included and delicious. Star of the show of course is stone crabs. $134.99 for 3 jumbos and you would have thought they were free based on how many they serve each night. So good. And they still offer the half fried chicken now $8.95, was $7.95. Best and could come here just for this and house made fries. Shrimp cocktail only disappointment, medium sized and lousy presentation. Hash browns are divine as the chopped salad. And you can’t come to Joe’s without ordering key lime pie. Service excellent and wine list decent priced. Overall, one of the top grossing restaurants in the world and still one of the best.

From start to finish, everything about this meal was outstanding. The stone crab was unbelievably fresh and perfectly chilled — sweet, tender, and full of flavor. The fried chicken was golden, crispy, and juicy inside — comfort food taken to the next level. The crab cakes were packed with lump crabmeat and just the right amount of seasoning, no fillers in sight! The sides deserve their own applause: the cream of spinach was rich and velvety, the lobster mac and cheese decadent and cheesy with generous chunks of lobster, and the oysters were fresh, briny, and beautifully presented. Every bite tasted like it came straight from the ocean. And let’s not forget the drinks — creative, balanced, and expertly crafted. Each cocktail complemented the meal perfectly and showed real attention to detail. From the attentive service to the incredible food, this place hits every mark. If you’re looking for a spot that combines top-notch seafood, comfort classics, and impeccable hospitality while in Miami this restaurant is a must-visit. There is a dress code, so call to verify before visiting.

I finally decided to try Joe’s Stone Crab, since it’s such a well-known and talked-about spot. I ordered through DoorDash, and while I understand delivery can sometimes affect food quality, I still expected a bit more consistency from such a popular restaurant. The stone crabs were a bit disappointing — they didn’t taste as fresh as I’d hoped and had a stronger crab smell than expected. Maybe the dine-in experience is better, but I do think takeout customers deserve the same quality. On a brighter note, the fried chicken had a great crust and texture, though it could’ve used more seasoning for flavor. The salad was beautifully presented and fresh, and the soups were solid. The mac & cheese was just okay — I suspect the lobster version might be the better choice next time. It needs to be alittle more creamier. Dessert was satisfying and helped end the meal on a positive note. My biggest issue was with customer service. I called ahead to request extra dressings, and the person on the phone assured me it would be taken care of. Unfortunately, none were included in my order. It’s frustrating when restaurants promise something and don’t follow through, especially when you’re already paying a premium for delivery. Overall, Joe’s Stone Crab is decent but not exceptional. There are definitely some good items on the menu, but between the inconsistency in food quality and the slip in customer service, it didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. Their mustard sauce for the crabs is amazing though

We went on a weekend evening around 6 and got seated immediately. We ordered the seafood tower ($184) and a key lime margarita and some chips and a slice of the key lime pie. We really loved the margarita. The portion for the seafood tower was generous but it’s not worth the price. The service was good though.

Came here based on reputation and reviews alone, and fell in love with the food. The crab bisque and crab cakes were honestly the best we've ever had, even across many fine establishments across the world. The stone crabs did not disappoint either - they were firm, fresh and sweet. Finally, the key lime pie also lived up to its reputation, tart, not overly sweet, with a satisfyingly crumbly base. Loved the old school atmosphere with our wonderful and gentlemanly server. Would 💯 return on every visit to Miami!

Even before arriving in Miami, we knew we had to eat here. We arrived on a Sunday around 7:00 PM without a reservation. We waited over an hour and a half for a table, which they immediately warned us about. Let me just say: it was worth it! Everything was delicious. The Stone Crab Bisque deserves a special mention, as do the Stone Crab Claws themselves. The oysters and lobster tail were excellent. The hamburger was also delicious. The pre-dinner cocktails and wine with dinner were good, and the Key Lime Pie was delicious to end the feast. On top of all that, the service was top-notch, from the maître d'hôtel, to the bartenders, and our waiter. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Miami!

This place is a mecca in Miami...a 'must do...consistently fresh stone crabs that are superior to every other place in Miami. The other seafood like the Salmon is also phenomenal. Plus there Fried green tomatoes are some of the best l've ever had... and hands down the best fried chicken I’ve ever had!! I've been a fan of Joe's Stone Crabs for years, Joe's Take-Away - their wonderful cafe it's perfect if you don't want to wait for the main restaurant... The take away is large with beautiful glass displays Where you can pick many of joe's specialties - especially their perfect stone crab claws, at a terrific price. You can buy wine & champagne by the bottle at retail, then sit at varnished wood tables and enjoy high end seafood - especially the stone crabs at a more affordable, relaxed price and atmosphere. It provides a chance for a quick high quality meal, complete with people to clear the tables. This is where you need to go to get stone crabs in Miami! 100% recommend!

Went here for a special occasion and it was well worth the money. Service was excellent. The vibes were great with great music. The place has a nice high end look with modern look. The presentation for the food was very pretty. Everything tasted great. The drinks were pretty and balanced with alcohol and taste. Will definitely be back. Thanks

Truly an outstanding experience. If you are looking for wonderful views, great service and terrific food, you will find it here. I think I might have had one of the best steaks of my life. Everything was a work of art. The menu has something for everyone.

Thank you so much for hosting my friends birthday the other night. The service was incredible and we really needed a private area to engage. Food was nothing less than amazing!! Our server was incredible I wish I got his name! Thank you to the manager who let us change tables! I appreciate you all so much.

Amazing experience! The guy (Joshua) served us was very lovely, recommended us to get the spicy tofu salad and gosh it was the best tofu I have had ever! Sadly I did not take a picture of the salad, but have added pictures on the outdoor area, which offers amazing views.

Celebrating friends engagement with a delicious dinner at Zuma. We all did the Miami spice menu, also ordered some sashimi and nigiri from the standard menu. The som made a great recommendation and the bottle we ordered paired nicely with our dinner. The food was amazing! The service was also overall great, very attentive to detail and very polite. I would give 5 stars but my partner kept noticing all the tables around us were being served food significantly faster than our table. In my opinion this wasn't such a big deal, impossible to know which tables got their orders in first. Atmosphere amazing; however, AC needs to be turned up a bit considering the open kitchen is hot and ... Open! Haha. We also received some free dishes due to mistakes made by food runners. Not going to complain ab that 😅.

Zuma Miami offers a top-tier contemporary Japanese dining experience. The cuisine is outstanding, offering fresh and innovative dishes. The atmosphere is vibrant and chic, making it a perfect spot for a special night out. The service is always impeccable and attentive.

Omg, everything was just outstanding: the food, the service, and the atmosphere. We went to try the Miami Spice menu and it was beyond delicious. Portions were generous, and honestly, half of the dishes never made it into photos because we couldn’t resist diving right in. Our server, Vasilij, was incredible, attentive, friendly, and genuinely warm. If every restaurant had people like him, dining out would always be a joy. The hostess greeted us with a big smile and gave us a beautiful table right by the window, where we could enjoy stunning views of passing yachts. The atmosphere was elegant yet vibrant, with stylishly dressed guests and a lively but comfortable vibe. We were celebrating our anniversary, and it was so thoughtful that every staff member who interacted with us took a moment to congratulate us, it made the evening feel even more special. And the desserts… wow. As a huge sweet lover, I can say they were absolutely to die for, easily among the best I’ve had in Miami. This place has definitely become my new favorite restaurant. Just a tip: it’s better to take an Uber, as valet parking can take a bit of time.

This place was amazing and the staff was attentive, helpful and friendly. I flew my boyfriend here for his birthday. We stayed one night in Miami, until we left for or cruise the next day. The food was amazing and the location was breathtaking. This restaurant sits on the water. The ambiance and atmosphere were incredibly beautiful. I rate this place 10 out of 10. Will definitely recommend and we’ll be back soon.

Amazing. Fine dining, business casual dress code. One of the best meals I've ever had. I can see why they were so busy. It has a beautiful waterfront view for your dining pleasure. Definitely recommend making a reservation. Service and food was top notch!

Dinner at Il Gabbiano in Miami was a refined experience with great service and a classic Italian menu. We started with flavorful Clams Casino, followed by excellent Pasta with Truffles—rich, aromatic, and perfectly cooked. The Supreme di Pollo al Calvados was well-made but a little heavy for my taste, while the vegetable side was fresh and nicely seasoned. Dessert was a solid Crème Brûlée, and service throughout the night was attentive without being overbearing. The total came to about $250 for two people, including tax and tip—pricey, but fitting for the quality, portions, and waterfront setting.

Really good Italian food. Excellent service! Came here for business lunch, and service is what really stood out for me, you get just enough attention and when you need it. All the dishes we ordered were great, very simple yet flavorful. Restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, and while ambiance is fairly simple, it is right by the water, so you get to enjoy nice relaxing views. It gets quite busy in the evenings, too. But this is not a typical Miami place, it reminded me of NYC fine dining.

An Italian experience in Miami. Food fantastic. Service was superb. Short walk from the Intercontinental Hotel. Clam appetizer was the best. The orange dessert was a special treat.

By far my favorite Italian restaurant in Miami. Il Gabbiano, located right on the One Miami Waterfront, has stunning views, elegant outdoor seating, and a refined dining experience that feels truly special from start to finish. From the complimentary dishes they serve you as a warm welcome, to the main event—the unforgettable Double-Cut Veal Chop with Truffles al Cartoccio—every detail is exceptional. Their specials alone could be an entire menu of their own, and the rest of their offerings never disappoint: Scampi Origanati, Mozzarella di Bufala, Prosciutto e Melone, Carpaccio di Manzo, Carpaccio di Polpo, Gnocchi al Gorgonzola, every risotto, indulgent desserts, and of course their coffee and Limoncello to finish. Il Gabbiano is the definition of fine Italian dining in Miami—consistently impeccable food, service, and atmosphere. A must for anyone who loves true Italian cuisine.

A bit loud inside. Staff is attentive. Food is very good, nice portions. About 4 Benjamins with a bottle of wine and 2 apps for 3 people.

There isn’t much to say. It was very VERY good. Service was amazing (except when leaving, no one said goodbye, a nitpick but it wasn’t detrimental. We had grilled octopus, oyster mushrooms and hummus and it was by far some of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. I love the EVO on the table and overall we instantly agreed at coming back.

Love the ambiance but the food fell a little too short for my liking. The salmon tartare was heavy on dill and lacking a pepper essence and did not have too much flavor or portion wise for the amount of chips that can with it. The turkish sampler was delicious but nothing remarkable or blow your socks off. Everything tasted very clean and fresh. The bread definitely needs work, a little too dense. The sea bass was okay- the deboning was not done properly as we still had to pick out bones after it was initially deboned. This caused us to not really enjoy it to the extent that we could have. The sangria is delicious, but I think it does not need the apples in it, possibly a different fruit as the apples did not add any flavoring to the actual sangria. I would have preferred more citrus included or some kind of melon of some sort. The honey pie was excellent. Highly recommend that.

I had been dying to come here for ages and finally got the opportunity! I would say that it met, but did not exceed, my expectations. Gorgeous atmosphere that feels like a slice of the Mediterranean in Miami. The food was delicious, but it did not blow me away. We had the Turkish sampler, chicken kebab, and swordfish special. Again, all delicious, but nothing truly special. We were very disappointed that they were out of the manti dumplings, which was one of the main dishes we had hoped to try. I thought the service was mediocre: not too fast, not too slow, and our waiter seemed very frazzled (totally valid, it was busy). Overall, we enjoyed the meal, but felt that it was pretty overpriced.

Mandolin Aegean Bistro is always a prioritized stop every time I’m in Miami — and for good reason. The moment you walk in, you’re transported straight to the Aegean coast with its serene, whitewashed setting, charming blue accents, and effortlessly relaxed atmosphere. It’s one of those rare places that manages to feel both upscale and completely unpretentious at the same time. The food is consistently incredible — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully simple. The grilled octopus, lamb chops, and tomato salad are standouts, and the homemade dips with warm bread are the perfect way to start every meal. Cocktails are crisp, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Service is polished but warm, with a staff that knows the menu inside out and treats every guest like they’ve been coming for years. Whether it’s lunch under the sun or dinner under the string lights, Mandolin always delivers. It’s a must-visit — not just one of the best restaurants in Miami, but a true destination in itself. Five stars, every single time.

We made reservations on resy and requested inside seating which they were able to accommodate. It was beautiful, quiet, and delicious. The restaurant was packed and we got our food very quickly. Everything was made with love and extremely authentic. Would come back many times again!

I had the chance to visit Mandoline Argent Bistro in Madrid, and it was truly a delightful experience. The food was absolutely outstanding — I would rate it a perfect 100 out of 100. Every dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly crafted with great attention to detail. The cocktails were another highlight. They’re creative, visually striking, and just as good in taste as they are in presentation — some of the best I’ve had in Madrid. The service, however, could use some improvement. While the staff was kind and professional, the pace and attentiveness didn’t fully match the excellence of the food. I’d rate it around 70 out of 100. I’ve also added a few photos for a better glimpse of the experience: •Table: A warm and cozy setup that makes you feel at home. •Bar: Modern, stylish, and perfect for enjoying the creative cocktails. • Food: Beautifully plated dishes, full of flavor and color. The total came to $163 (without tax), which is quite reasonable compared to many restaurants around the Miami area. Overall, Mandoline Argent Bistro is a spot I’d recommend to anyone seeking top-quality food, unique drinks, and a welcoming vibe in Miami.

We ordered the sea bass, calamari, lamb dumplings, and shrimp — everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The ambiance was cozy and the service was friendly and fast. I’d definitely come back again!

I had such a great experience at LPM! The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was full of flavor, the drink was amazing, and the dessert was the perfect way to end the lunch. What really made it special was the service. Sophi was incredible, super charismatic, fun, and just made the whole lunch even better. And Javi was also super nice and attentive.

The service was truly incredible, and our server’s knowledge about the history behind the food and drinks was very impressive. The food and the ambiance were just as outstanding. I can honestly say these were the best escargots I’ve had in Miami.

It was decent French food. They were missing a lot of French classics. From beef tartar, to pate, to duck breast. The food itself is pretty good but I would not call this a French restaurant. Servers are very friendly but they’re extremely slow and not attentive.

We went to celebrate a friend’s birthday—she’s French—and she had told us about this restaurant. Honestly, the experience was beyond amazing. The place is absolutely spectacular, the atmosphere is stunning, and the service deserves more than five stars—truly excellent, I couldn’t ask for better. And the food… wow! Out of this world, absolutely delicious. The recommendation was spot on. Definitely a highly recommended spot! highly recommend the escargot—it’s truly out of this world, absolutely delicious. The lamb was a big WOW, the langoustines were incredible, and the yellowtail carpaccio was just perfect. Honestly, everything was delicious!! 😊

This has become a classic favorite and a must try restaurant in Brickell. The escargot has to be the best I’ve ever had in my life. Every dish they serve was as good as the next, the black lemonade is a must try. We had the whole Branzino and ribeye steak. Now, the cheesecake is our favorite, we always order more than one.

Been to the bar couple of times and first time dining here, on Miami Spice lunch menu. What an underwhelming experience. Shrimps was literally 2 pieces, bread was not warm, steak was overcooked - I order medium rare and that was so chewy …. It was a cheap cut as well. The mushroom pasta just made me question myself what’s the hype about this restaurant, so mediocre. And btw I waited an hour for my food. Service is so slow I can’t imaging coming here w a big group.

Unforgettable dining experience! Javier took excellent care of us and explained every dish with such thoughtfulness. The sommelier who attended to us was also very knowledgeable and suggested both alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages. Truly fine dining without the pretension. And, most importantly, DELICIOUS food. Highly recommend and plan to go again to try more dishes. The potato gratin was a revelation. Javi is a gem!

Best dining experience I have had in a while. The energy of the restaurant was great. The waiter was attentive. The meals came out quickly and best of all the food was flavourful. Seafood texture was perfect, it melted in my mouth. I would definitely return to dine. Thankfully we did not have to wait to be seated, however, I suggest you make a reservation. Hostess was quite polite

My husband and I went for Valentine's Day. I'm Peruvian and a fan of Gastón Acurio. Once again, another incredible restaurant, perfect in every detail, as always. The location is spectacular. Enjoying the view with delicious Peruvian food is a perfect dinner with your loved one! 100% recommended ✨❤️

What an amazing, beautiful and relaxing experience my partner and I had at La Mar. Beautiful location and views, the food was incredible and the service from Yassa was impeccable. His knowledge of the menu (due to his 11 years there) and each dish was amazing, such a professional, his advice helped us to have such a beautiful gastronomical experience! Five stars to him and the chef!

The Michelin star fine dining! It was a great experience for me and my brother while I’m vacationing in Miami. A little pricey but amazingly delicious food and excellent service! Highly recommended!

La Mar exceeded all expectations. The food was absolutely exceptional—each dish was rich in flavor and beautifully presented. The views were stunning and added the perfect backdrop to the dining experience. The staff provided excellent service throughout the evening, attentive yet never intrusive. A truly memorable experience from start to finish.

Very good high end Peruvian food, with an imagination, by the famous Gaston Acurio. Located in the Mandarin Oriental hotel on Brickell Key. The atmosphere and views are fantastic. A perfect date atmosphere. Unfortunate that the hotel is being demolished and La Mar will have to relocate. Definitely worth a try if you have never been.

We had a great time at La Mar for Sunday Brunch! Our server Elvira was phenomenal & the food was delicious. The entire experience was an end-to-end amazing time with exceptional service, food quality, and flavor. The buffet included a starter, main entree, variety of fare to choose from across the buffet spread, specialty drinks, and dessert. I was happy to add some content on my social media to show support & received a lot of feedback and interest from prospective patrons excited to visit the restaurant soon. Looking forward to returning. Thank you, La Mar!

I’ve been a fan of Jeremy since Top Chef, and Miami Spice was the perfect introduction to dining at Stubborn Seed. We were absolutely blown away! The chicken was the most tender I’ve ever had, the beef cheek was rich with deep, layered flavors, and the lamb ravioli was pure perfection. Dessert was exquisite, full of flavor bombs and unexpected pairings like feta and banana that worked beautifully together. And lets not overlook bread and butter service.. WOW! The service was excellent from start to finish, and the ambiance struck the perfect balance of upscale and inviting. Can’t wait to return and try the full tasting menu one day!

The preparation of the food was exceptional. Top notch plating, well thought out and complex dishes. The pace of the meal was steady and the atmosphere was pleasant. The staff was exemplary and the overall experience was perfection. Ricardo was our server, and we found his knowledge of the menu to be extensive. Overall he made the experience that much better for us. I highly recommend this establishment.

Stubborn Seed exceeded all expectations during my Miami visit. The service here is truly impeccable - among the best I've experienced at any Michelin-starred restaurant in the USA. I opted for the 3-course amuse menu ($85 + tax), and appreciated that unlike many Miami restaurants, they don't automatically add a 20% service charge. The meal began with a delightful soft roll and beautifully shaped butter. The food was excellent overall, though the Seared Berkshire Porkchop (2nd course) had prominent cinnamon that wasn't mentioned on the menu. When I mentioned this, the staff was incredibly responsive - he later apologized and surprised me with a complimentary caviar course. This level of attentiveness was outstanding. As a birthday celebration, they went above and beyond with a gorgeous dessert presentation including "Happy Birthday" carved on the plate with a candle. The desserts were delicious and beautifully plated. Despite being "only" one Michelin star, this is hands-down the best Michelin experience I've had. The combination of exceptional service, excellent food, and reasonable pricing makes it a must-visit. I'll definitely return on my next Miami trip!

What an amazing culinary experience! I ordered from the Miami Spice $60 dinner menu, and the chef changed the main dish to accommodate my pescatarian diet. The food was so delicious in taste and texture, and so beautiful in presentation, and the service from Ida and all the other staff members was impeccable. The drink I ordered was amazing but expensive. So if you are in town during August or September or for any special occasion, I highly recommend this Michelin-starred restaurant.

Stubborn Seed offers a truly elevated dining experience — the six-course tasting menu was creative, beautifully plated, and showcased thoughtful techniques in every dish. The flavors were bold yet balanced, and you can tell each course was crafted with intention. Service overall was friendly and professional, and we were especially impressed by the staff’s knowledge and attention to detail. They described each course with ease, naming every component and ingredient, which really enhanced the experience and helped us appreciate the complexity behind each dish. The pacing of the food itself was on the slower side, but it allowed time to fully enjoy the wine pairings and presentation. The atmosphere is sleek and modern — just a little colder than expected, so bringing a light sweater isn’t a bad idea. There was a noticeable fragrance in the dining room — likely from candles or diffusers — that was pleasant but a bit strong and overpowering the food at times. Overall, the night felt special. Thank you to the team for helping us celebrate both my birthday and our anniversary!

One of the best restaurant experiences in my life. The service was impeccable and truly deserves a Michelin. Our server, Lesia, made the evening unforgettable with her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. Every dish was a masterpiece — beautifully presented, perfectly balanced in flavor, and made with the freshest ingredients. The atmosphere was elegant yet inviting, making the entire evening feel special without being overly formal. I would return in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone who values exceptional dining

Did the 9-course tasting menu and it was amazing! The food provided stunning visual appeal while using taste, texture, temperature and various combinations I can’t begin to describe. Highly highly recommend dining here.

The service and atmosphere was excellent. Love the ambiance and perfectly lit dining experience befitting a romantic evening. The food was top notch and truly worth every bite. Taking one on a delicious journey of Italian flavors. I believe the manager there noticed I stained my shirt eating the papparadelle 😅 and was kind enough to get me a tide pen cleaner without I even asking. Truly an attention to detail and love for the customer that was chef’s kiss. Amazing place and people here. Highly recommend for anyone to dine in and enjoy amazing food and service

The restaurant is a cozy little hidden gem. We went there to celebrate my wife’s birthday and sat at the counter, right in front of the chef — such a cool experience! Service was spot-on, and the dishes they recommended were absolutely perfect for sharing. Everything was delicious, but the baked clams really blew us away. Great wine list too, with solid value for the quality. Overall, an awesome night out — no surprise they’ve got a Michelin star. Can’t wait to go back!

A Unique and Memorable Meal at Boia De Boia De is an experience, but it's one that might not be for everybody. It has its own distinct, charming style that sets it apart from other restaurants in Miami. The first thing you'll notice is the intimate setting. The tables are very close to each other, so much so that you basically have dinner with the table next to you. It's a unique atmosphere that you have to be prepared for. The food, however, is truly extraordinary. Every dish we tried was inventive and delicious. The only caveat is that the portions are on the smaller side, so you may want to order several plates to share. We were there on Thursday, October 9th, to celebrate a friend's birthday. Our reservation was for 9:15 pm, and we found the service to be a bit slow at that time, which was a little disappointing for a special occasion. For me, Boia De is a place you should try at least once for its fantastic food and one-of-a-kind ambiance. While I enjoyed the meal, I think one visit was enough to get the full experience.

I’ve been wanting to try here for so long, the location is a bit out of the way but I must say it’s worth it! The crispy polenta was a pleasant surprise! I was not expecting it to burst with so much flavor! The beef tartar is definitely one of the tops I’ve had! So flavorful and tasty, we devoured every bite! The grilled artichokes also were bursting with flavor! An unexpected pleasant surprise! Lastly, the corn fagottini was out of this world!! What a meal this was on a weekend night, they managed to squeeze us in at the bar. I would prefer a little more space personally but everything was phenomenal here!

This is a VERY small restaurant so you will have an extremely difficult time if not impossible time getting a reservation for more than 2. This is the BEST restaurant in Miami. The food is delicious and the service is phenomenal. Blake was an excellent server this past trip and the food was, as always, second to none. Order and share 4 to 5 small plates and leave with your mind blown. There is not one thing bad on the menu and each time I recommend you try something new to get the full experience.

The hospitality is unmatched and it is clear that the whole team understands its about so much more than the food but the entire experience. The host, the servers, the bartender, and the cooks were all incredibly kind, attentive, and committed. The food, as expected by their reputation, was phenomenal. Well earned Michelin star. Each bite puts you in a world of exploding flavor. Carefully crafted, plated, and presented. Perfect date night and opportunity to share plates and experience many flavors during your meal. Thanks to Resy Global dining Access by Amex for introducing me to this gem of a restaurant. We will most definitely be back. Reservations were made a month in advance.

Food was incredible. Service could be better. We had the steak tartar (superb!), the polenta fries were also amazing. The pappardelle was out of this world. We got there, with very hard and annoying to make reservations for which I repeatedly got reminders for... The host made us feel like if we didn't belong there and told us "your table might be ready whenever". The server was "disapointed at us because we ordered only 3 dishes". Although food was delicious, I doubt we'll make the trip to the laundry mat again. Good to get the experience though.

We had such a super friendly service! The food was really delicious. The bread they bring at the beginning was absolutely amazing – three different kinds, each better than the other. We both had the steak, perfectly grilled to the point. And for dessert, of course, the cheesecake – which was HUGE! Definitely a portion for one person, but we couldn’t even finish it together.

First I’ll say, major shoutout to the incredible hospitality and teamwork of Kevin & Erika. Kevin was extremely helpful and we were assured by his recommendations. The appetizer, main, and dessert were all fantastic. My Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our food and the service. Erika was assisting periodically at our table too and she was so friendly…really made our night by dining here. We heard of the great reviews, tried for ourselves, and can say we too recommend Prime 112. Ask for Kevin or Erika; you will be glad.

Last night I had an amazing dinner at Prime 112. I was greeted by a very welcoming host and decided to sit at the bar to wait for my friend to arrive. At the bar they offered bacon as a bar snack instead of something like peanuts. Which was very tasty. Bacon is always a plus for me. The bartending staff was very attentive. Top notch bartenders took care of my requests promptly. The meal itself along with the service was exceptional. Not once did I feel like I wasn’t taken care of. I highly recommend visiting this establishment. I will return soon to sample other tasty menu items.

Anniversary Dinner!!! Loved. Loved. Loved everything about this dinner. We went on a Tuesday night, so reservations were readily available. Upon our arrival, we were immediately seated. Waiter was there with no delay to inform us of the chef's specials, to take our drinks and appetizer orders. We chose the calamari and lump Crab cake. For our entree, we chose the Fried snapper for 2, with roasted vegetables and a lemon butter sauce. Yeeesss!!!!! The snapper was seasoned and fried too perfection. The vegetables were so good. And that lemon butter sauce was de-li-cious!!! All in all, we really enjoyed our night.

Incredible dinner tonight! Visiting Miami Beach for work and was incredibly blown away with Prime 112. The food was very good, reasonable and seasoned well. The service was the shining star with our waitress providing thoughtful recommendations. It felt every person wanted to make it the best dining experience. I only docked one star on atmosphere due to the close proximity of the tables to each other- otherwise loved the ambiance.

This is my first time visiting prime 112 and what a fun experience I had with my coworker. We walked in sat in the bar area which was not too packed at the time. We were greeted right away by the bartenders. As we sat there looking through the menu, I noticed a cup filled with bacon in it. I kindly asked what was the big and filled cup for and they said it was for the customers to eat. Is the first I've ever seen something like this which was awesome. Continuing on to the appetizers we got crab cakes and calamari. The crabcakes were amazing they were plump and full of crab meat the one with the relish that it came with. Considering on to dinner I ordered a 24 oz T-Bone cook black and blue style and my coworker order 22 oz bone in ribeye. Everything came out perfect and cooked the right way and taste it amazing the steak melted in your mouth. As for the two sides we got mashed potatoes an broccoli. For dessert of course we had to get the banana pudding dessert. Overall what an amazing place to visit and eat at. The experience makes up for everything.

My husband and I went here after falling in love with Prime and Fish on a previous trip to Miami. They were owned by the same owner so we decided to give it a try. Steak was excellent. People go here to be seen going some place nice. The food is quality all the way round. It’s very dark and sometimes loud inside. They have all the tables squished together. All wait staff is there to make you experience amazing and go above and beyond.

After we had dinner, we stopped by Seaspice to enjoy their fabulous bar by the Miami River with a view of the Miami skyline. It was one of those beautiful sunset evenings that we wanted to enjoy the ambiance at this very popular Miami Hotspot. I love all of the elegant nautical decor they have. It makes me want to sign up for a cruise. There are many photo ops for those who love to take pictures. Do dress up as they do have a dress code. I would say that the crowd age is over 30. Everyone seemed to have a good time. They have good music to add to the vibe. We only stopped by for drinks but next time we will have dinner there. Our server was friendly and attentive. A truly beautiful Miami restaurant. Parking is by valet or street parking if you can find it.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday this past Saturday at Seaspice, and it was our first time dining there—an experience we’ll never forget, thanks to our amazing server, Sam (Samantha). From the moment we were seated, she made us feel so welcome and special. Her warm, personable nature and beautiful smile set the tone for a perfect evening. Sam went above and beyond to make the night memorable, paying attention to every detail and making sure my husband felt celebrated throughout the meal. When dessert came out with sparklers, it gave him the biggest smile—it was such a fun and thoughtful touch that truly made the moment magical. It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely enjoys what they do, and it shows in how she treats her guests. Thank you, Sam, for making our first visit to Seaspice so unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back—and hope to see you again!

An iconic Miami destination where fine dining meets dramatic waterfront design(the best time to visit is in the evening > music, lights, and life start ~10 pm), live music fills the open-air terraces, and the river light fades into the glow of the city. The atmosphere is electric yet refined: wood, steel, and glass frame the space beautifully, creating a sense of movement and rhythm that mirrors the energy of the Miami River. Top-notch service, beautifully presented dishes, cocktails that 'kill you softly', and friendly, professional staff complete the experience.

The view and vibe is definitely the season why people visit here. We came for Miami spice brunch. The food was pretty average except the steak was surprisingly tender and juicy. The short rib benedict was okay but nothing special. The dessert was quite disappointing, which was a scoop of sorbet that I see as a sign of laziness. They also charge 20% mandatory tips, which would definitely be the reason why I won't visit again. Overall, nice place for first timers yet.

**4/5 stars** Dined at Seaspice recently and had mixed feelings about the overall experience. The Maine lobster was absolutely exceptional - honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The preparation and quality were outstanding, and the food overall was very good. However, the docking fee is quite steep at $81 for boat parking during dinner. While I understand waterfront restaurants need to charge for docking, this felt expensive compared to other marina restaurants I’ve visited. The restaurant itself has a great waterfront atmosphere and the service was solid. If you’re coming by boat, just be prepared for the additional docking cost on top of the meal. Despite the high docking fee, the quality of the lobster and overall dining experience was good enough that I’d consider returning. Recommended for the food quality, but factor in the docking costs when budgeting for your visit.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​A beautiful spot with a lively vibe, but the service needs to catch up. ​I recently visited Seaspice for the first time on a Sunday afternoon. The setting is absolutely stunning, with a gorgeous view and a great atmosphere enhanced by a live DJ. It's definitely a beautiful place to enjoy a nice weekend. ​We were seated on time for our reservation, but unfortunately, the service was quite slow. It took about 20 minutes for our waiter to even take our order. ​On the bright side, we had a fantastic experience with Gustavo, the sommelier, who was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, helping us choose the perfect wine. Ariana, our busser, was also very helpful and efficient. ​We opted for the Miami Spice menu. While the food was decent, the menu was simple and didn't offer any particularly unique or exciting options. The pace of the meal was also disappointing—the main courses took over 30 minutes to arrive after the appetizers. ​Overall, I'd recommend Seaspice for the ambiance and the music. It’s a great spot for a relaxed Sunday afternoon with a beautiful view, but don’t go if you're in a hurry.

Visited on September 3rd at 1:30 pm. We picked items from the Miami Spice Menu. The food was pretty decent, the service could've been better, our server was difficult to get a hold of, and noticed other customers having the same problem, that's why I only give 4 stars. Very nice place, great music and a canal view. Would not return nor recommend.

Had a great dinner at Ariete. It’s a smaller place with only 6 tables in the main dining area. It’s lively and a bit loud but not overwhelming. The food is great. Great grilled oysters to start and the duck is a must have. The best you will have with the canard presser for the sauce. Service is good. Definitely worth the trip.

Ariete is truly one of Miami’s dining treasures. From the moment we sat down, the service was excellent—attentive without ever being overbearing. The team was always on point, even making sure our wine glasses were never empty. We started with a selection of appetizers: the caviar donuts, grilled oysters, crudo, sweetbreads, and foie gras. Every dish had something special to offer, but the foie gras stood out as the star—an extraordinary preparation that alone is worth the visit. For the entrée, the pork was rich, flavorful, and beautifully executed. We ended with the olive oil cake and ice cream, a dessert that was both elegant and comforting. The cocktails here also deserve a mention—the mezcal and tropical fruit creation was absolutely delicious, perfectly balanced, and easily one of my favorite cocktails anywhere. Between the food, the cocktails, and the outstanding service, Ariete delivers an unforgettable dining experience. A must-visit in Miami.

I’ve been dining at Ariete since 2021, and it has consistently delivered excellence in service, food, and atmosphere. This place is one of Miami’s true hidden gems: underrated yet easily among the best restaurants in the city. The restaurant is run with care and precision, and the team makes each visit memorable. I usually sit at my favorite spot at the bar (near the wall, best view) and rotate through a few go-to entrées that never miss. Special recognition to Ricky and Luiza — they are among the best in the business. Thoughtful, engaging, and the epitome of professionalism. They even created a custom mocktail in my honor: El Alejandro (fresh mango, ginger, lime, and bruised ice), a small gesture that speaks volumes. Other team members who make my experience exceptional: Junior, Jabari, Adrian, Jeff, Nile, and Willy — a phenomenal crew that treats guests like regulars from day one. I always leave Ariete happy and already looking forward to my next visit. Favorites on the menu: > Foie Gras > Oysters > Farmer > Duck > Wagyu > Venison > Pork

The friendly and welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home and lasts through the full visit. The staff is easily what makes Ariete special. The food is absolutely fabulous but the loveliness of the people is what steals your heart. I tried the oysters (fab), the venison tartar, the boniato gnocchi and duck confit, and the corn ice cream with miso caramel. My favorite morsel of the night though wasn't on the menu, it was the amuse bouche. A mini tartlet with flaky tender crust, filled with a spicy calabaza cream and foam. The venison is not something I would normally choose but I was so glad I did. It was absolutely terrific and flavorful. Definitely one my favorite dishes. The gnocchi and duck was succulent and tender, and the perfect portion for anyone wondering about Miami Spice. While the ice cream was superb, I do regret not following the bartender's orders to try the flan. The woman next to me said it was the best flan she'd ever had and would return just for that. Romantic vibes, excellent cocktails, and so easy to love. Highly recommend.

Amazing! Service is on another level. The food was so delicious. We were 6 and did Miami Spice, every dish was phenomenal same with drinks and service.

A Disappointing Second Visit My return to Ariete on Saturday, September 6th, was unfortunately a letdown, falling far short of the standards one would expect from a one Michelin Star eatery. While the quality of the food remains a strong point, the overall dining experience was significantly hindered by a series of service failures and a less-than-ideal atmosphere. The most glaring issue was the consistently slow bar service. I ordered a Martini with my food, but it arrived after I had finished my appetizer - despite a couple of inquiries as to the status of the long-delayed Martini. A second glass of wine, ordered to accompany a main course, only reached the table after the meal was finished. This lack of timing and attention completely undermined the enjoyment of the courses and is unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber. Beyond the service, the restaurant’s interior was uninspiring. The décor is mediocre at best, and the open kitchen concept, while often a nice feature, created an overwhelmingly bright and loud environment with nothing to dampen the noise. It was difficult to have a conversation, which took away from the overall dining experience. To compound the frustration, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to the bill with no option to change it, which felt unwarranted given the poor service. To then be presented with the option of adding an additional 2-7% gratuity felt insulting. A high-end restaurant should not need to resort to such measures when the service provided does not support a high-level tip. While the food was good, it could not compensate for the significant shortcomings in service and atmosphere. Based on this visit, the experience did not align with the reputation or cost associated with a Michelin-starred restaurant. ———————- Reference: Server: Holly N Check: #26 Table: 22 Guest count: 5 Date: 9/6/2025

“Miami Picante” Experience & Birthday Dinner On the evening of my birthday, my partner and I chose Ariete to celebrate — drawn by its Michelin star, its Miami-rooted culinary identity, and the Miami Picante dinner event. The experience was elegant, flavorful, and memorable, with several service highlights and thoughtful touches that made it even more special. 🛎️ Reception & Atmosphere We were warmly welcomed upon arrival. The ambiance is intimate and stylish, with a balance of refined minimalism and Miami vibrancy. We were taken care of by Manon, who was exceptionally attentive, kind, and observant throughout the entire meal. Her service made us feel welcomed and truly celebrated. 🍸 Drinks & Hospitality In addition to Manon, special acknowledgment goes to Jef, who delivered an outstanding wine service, and to Nick, whose attentiveness and professionalism were evident from start to finish. The tamarind wine cocktail I received early in the evening was spectacular — refreshing, creative, and perfectly balanced. These team members elevated the evening with grace and expertise. Amuse-Bouche & Bread Course • The meal began with pumpkin seed tartlets, a vibrant one-bite amuse-bouche that was playful, well-balanced, and a delightful start to the evening. • Soon after, we were served fresh bread with a rich, whipped compound butter — earthy and airy, a subtle standout. However, the plate’s design made it difficult to rest cutlery between bites, a minor inconvenience in an otherwise seamless flow. 🥂 First Course • Beef Tartare: Served with toasted sourdough and a creamy base, the tartare was robust and clean, showing off expert seasoning and restraint. • Beet Salad: Artfully plated with frisée and a herbaceous mousse, this dish was refreshing and colorful, a vegetal contrast to the meat. 🥩 Second Course • Braised Short Rib: Rich, fall-apart tender meat over a silky purée with a glossy reduction and fresh herbs. Hearty and refined. • Pan-Seared White Fish: Perfectly cooked with a golden sear, plated over a vibrant, creole-style sauce and topped with pickled onion. This dish stood out for its tropical flair and balance. 🍰 Third Course & Birthday Dessert The dessert progression was thoughtful, surprising, and memorable: • A small, warmly served birthday treat with a lit candle — a heartfelt touch that made me feel genuinely celebrated. • A creamy bowl dessert (likely pistachio or olive oil ice cream) was velvety and aromatic. • A plated sweet with whipped topping and syrupy sauce added a balanced richness. • And to close, bittersweet chocolate spheres, delicate and smooth — the final punctuation of a well-paced, well-executed meal. Billing Transparency One detail worth noting: gratuity was included automatically in the final bill from the moment it arrived. While common in Miami’s fine dining scene — and especially in group or celebratory settings — it’s something diners should be aware of upfront. In this case, it was clearly indicated, and service fully justified it. ✨ Final Impression Every course was a celebration of balance — bold yet elegant, familiar but reimagined. While minor refinements (like plate ergonomics) could bring it closer to perfection, the staff’s warmth — especially Manon, Nick, and Jef — made this birthday dinner deeply memorable. Ariete earns its star and then some. ⭐ Would I return? Absolutely — for the cuisine, the service, and the feeling of being truly cared for.

Not our first time at this long-standing waterfront restaurant on the Rickenbacker Causeway, but it was definitely one of the most memorable! The stunning views of the Miami skyline made the perfect backdrop for our anniversary celebration, and what truly made the night special was the outstanding service from our server, Matías. He was attentive, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. His warm personality and thoughtful touches elevated the entire experience. Thank you, Matías, for helping us create such a beautiful memory—we’ll definitely be back!

Awesome dinner for our 5th yr anniversary we decided to go here for my 1st time. My fiance had been there before. The service was amazing. The view and sunset was amazing and the service was amazing.

We celebrated my best friend’s birthday at Rusty Pelican and couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding — warm, attentive, and on point all night. If you’re into cocktails with show-stopping presentation, you must try the Tiffany’s. While the flavor wasn’t the most intense, the overall experience was a 10/10 — it’s a drink you’ll definitely remember. The food, as always, did not disappoint — everything was fresh, beautifully plated, and absolutely delicious. And of course, the location is a gem in itself. Nestled right by the sea, the view at sunset is nothing short of breathtaking. Golden skies, ocean breeze, and an unforgettable vibe. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want a night to remember, Rusty Pelican delivers every time.

This place is a true 5 star experience for what it offers. Accommodates everything from weddings to date nights… sophisticated but not stuck up atmosphere. Lala was our server in this occasion, she read the room perfectly, offered us options that really enhanced our experience, and was a great fit for our energy for the night. The food was mind blowing 🤯. The drinks were 10/10. I had a great birthday dinner experience here. This place is a must visit any time we come to Miami!!

My husband took me there for my birthday and it was my first time going to the Rusty Pelican. I was not sure what to expect but everything turned out great! The food was really good and service was excellent. We had a bit of a wait time (~20 mns) which was totally fine as we were walked in and they were transitioning from lunch to dinner. Our server, Lala, was exceptional and made our experience there even better. The kids also enjoyed their food and had no complaint. The food portions were more than expected compared to other upscale restaurants and that was a pleasant surprise. We will definitely be going back! Maybe to try out their Lunch menu next time. 🙂

Both the food and service were excellent—everything we ordered was fresh, high-quality, and full of flavor. We sampled several appetizers (not pictured) and were pleasantly surprised by how good each one was. But the real star of the show is the view—dining with the Miami skyline as your backdrop is unreal. Time your reservation around sunset, and you’re in for a legit experience. Only downside? We sat through two back-to-back proposals at the tables right next to us during our one dinner… so that was a little much 😅 But overall, a great night.

My sister, a local, said the Rusty Pelican is one of the best restaurants in Miami and she was not lying. The location is amazing! It's right on the water with beautiful views of the city. We went for their Sunset hour/happy hour and it did not disappoint. The food was so flavorful and delicious and the happy hour specials were fantastic. Roberto was our waiter, he was super friendly and attentive! I will have to stop by again on my next trip back to Miami.

Dining at Cipriani Miami was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped inside, the ambiance was sophisticated and stylish, with impeccable attention to detail in every corner. The service was outstanding—professional, warm, and attentive without being intrusive. We ordered the signature Bellini and it absolutely lived up to the hype—refreshing and perfectly balanced. The food was exceptional: the carpaccio was delicate and flavorful, the homemade pasta was cooked to perfection, and the vanilla meringue dessert was a heavenly way to end the meal. Cipriani offers more than just a dinner; it’s a luxurious experience that captures the essence of classic Italian hospitality with a modern twist. Highly recommended for a romantic evening or a special celebration in Miami.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cipriani Downtown Miami, and I can confidently say it deserves every one of these five stars! The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the pasta, which is all fresh and imported directly from Italy. My son declared it the best pasta he has ever had, and I couldn't agree more! The flavors were exquisite, and the texture was simply perfect. What impressed us even more was their willingness to accommodate our specific requests. My son wanted just butter and noodles for his pasta, and they prepared it flawlessly. My wife needed a gluten-free option, and they provided a delicious gluten-free pasta that exceeded her expectations. Their custom dish offerings truly cater to everyone’s needs! The portion sizes are more than adequate. To top it all off, we indulged in their freshly made ice cream, which was absolutely wonderful—creamy, rich, and the perfect way to end our meal. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made sure we had everything we needed throughout our dining experience. Plus, the location right next to the Icon Miami/W Miami hotel on the water adds a beautiful ambiance to the whole experience. Overall, Cipriani Downtown Miami is a must-visit for anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine and exceptional service. We can't wait to return!

From New York to Miami, Cipriani never misses a beat. Scoring white truffle season here—paired with silky, house-made tagliolini—was worth every moment. The vibe is stunning, the staff runs the show like pros, and once again it reminded me why this is the Italian spot in town.

We had a delicious meal at Cipriani, the carpaccio and rooster soup were both ok but our main dish was delicious! The atmosphere was elegant, and the service was friendly, though a bit on the slower side. We ended up waiting quite a while between courses, but overall, it was a great dining experience and worth the visit.

Amazing service ! Authentic Italian food very delicious ! Compliments to the chef and the whole team. I recommend the beef carpaccio at 100%, the pasta al pomodoro, the chicken and the puree. Will definitely come back.

Everything was excellent at Cipriani! The food was delicious, especially the liver, the atmosphere was amazing, and the service top-notch. Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our Florists from Miami Flower Delivery team had an incredible dinner at Cipriani Downtown Miami! 🌸 The elegant ambiance, impeccable service, and authentic Italian dishes made the evening truly special. From pasta to dessert — everything was perfectly crafted. A timeless place for fine dining and unforgettable moments! 🍝🍷✨

The food here was exceptionally good—bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The mushroom pasta was absolutely divine. The restaurant offers an extensive and thoughtfully curated wine list, featuring an impressive selection of skin-contact wines. Each glass was vibrant, complex, and wonderfully expressive, making for a perfect pairing with the pasta. The atmosphere is lively, buzzing with energy, yet still relaxed and welcoming. The spacious outdoor terrace is elegantly designed and ideal for enjoying a leisurely meal. A truly beautiful spot with incredible food and wine—highly recommended!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our evening at Macchialina in South Beach was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we settled in at the bar, we were captivated by the vibrant yet effortlessly refined atmosphere. The food was simply exquisite—each dish a testament to thoughtful preparation and authentic Italian flavor. Every bite reflected the kitchen’s dedication to quality and craft. What truly elevated our experience was the impeccable service. Maria, our bartender, was warm, gracious, and exceptionally knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with genuine enthusiasm. Jackie, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our evening was perfect. Her attentiveness and gracious spirit made us feel thoroughly cared for. It is rare to find a place where ambiance, cuisine, and hospitality harmonize so beautifully. We will most certainly return to Macchialina and recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience in Miami Beach. Five stars all around.

We had such a wonderful meal and experience for our anniversary dinner! Our server Matt was so helpful and knowledgeable about all of the plates we were served and he very wisely recommended the chef’s tasting menu and a scrumptious bottle of white wine! Everything was so well done with perfectly balanced flavors that left you wanting more, it was almost impossible to pick our favorite dishes but I highly enjoyed and recommend the mezzaluna pasta, the polenta, panino, and the tiramisu!! Will certainly be back and already raving about it to our friends and family before we’re even out the door!!

First restaurant out of a dozen we’ve visited in Miami that offered complimentary snacks/appetizers, which was a really nice touch. Our waiter was polite and attentive, and the atmosphere was both lively and relaxed

I recently visited from NYC and had the pleasure of trying their tasting menu. They were incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, and I couldn’t stop indulging! The portions were just right, and the service and atmosphere were top-notch. You absolutely must try the Tiramisu! I would highly recommend coming back here again.

Recently visited here for dinner while on vacation and it was delicious! I will say the music is loud inside, but we love that vibe but if loud music during dinner is not your thing, just letting you know in advance. The food was amazing and our waiter was great, and made an excellent wine selection for us. My favorite thing on the menu, funny enough was the bread that came with our charcuterie board. The bread was a cross between a roll and a sweet dough, I could have had ten of them.

Fantástico environment, service and feeling of the place. Regarding the food, the taste, creativity and selection of food and wine have been excellent. It’s not cheap but you feel is worth it. Very good Quality-Price

What’s not to like about this small, quaint restaurant? The service was lovely. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the host and promptly seated for our reservation on a Monday night. There were a couple of tables dining already, but plenty were still open at 6:30. My two friends and I came in for the MIAMI Spice menu. We were pleasantly surprised to find that most of the menu was available for the selection of the appetizer and entrée. However, the desserts were limited to a choice from a selection of three. We also had to order all three courses upfront. We ordered the deviled eggs, the lobster linguine, and the crab cake as our starters and shared them. All of them were delicious in their own way. Truly, I would’ve been content with the lobster linguine as my main course. For my entrée, I ordered the lobster roll with French fries and broccolini. I adored the citrusy flavor of the lobster, as well as the little kick from the broccolini, and was delighted with the quality of the French fries—golden and crispy. For dessert, the Key lime pie was my favorite of the bunch; however, that was a dissenting opinion. (Everyone else agreed that the bread pudding was the standout.) I will say, I was a little confused about parking because it looked like there was a sign indicating parking toward the back, but I didn’t see anything. So, I opted for street parking, and there was plenty available at that time—although it looked a little sketchy. However, once I parked and entered the restaurant, I quickly forgot about that.

fresh oysters amazing service the only thing is it's a bit noisy but not in a bad way we arrived a bit late And the service was great great selection of oysters do not skip on the scallops with polenta and caramelized onions, also try the octopus really good not only well presented but everything delicious. again everyone customer service was superb

You can immediately tell that this is a chef-driven restaurant the moment you walk in — it becomes clear right away. Both the cozy atmosphere and the way they present their seafood dishes are truly impressive. Although I wasn’t a big fan of the Lobster Linguini, the Charred Octopus is an absolute must-try. It was one of the most tender octopus dishes I’ve ever had in my life. It’s definitely a great hidden spot for a date, though I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. If you don’t get a table in the main dining area, the seating in the back section isn’t quite as enjoyable.

This restaurant is a whole vibe. The food is amazing. I had the octopus, the oysters, the lobster roll, and the deviled eggs. 10/10. Don’t even get me started on the dessert. All around amazing. The service provided by Freddy made the whole experience. He recommended dishes, wine and the dessert as well. Very attentive. I loved this place. Freddy deserves a raise!

Mignonette is a favorite neighborhood joint & recently stopped in during Miami Spice. The deal is incredible as you can practically select from the entire menu rather than a restricted menu. For a 3-course meal, the portions were substantial and we both brought leftover sides home. We really enjoyed the lobster linguini & crab cake appetizers! Being from New England, I could skip the lobster roll but the diver scallops were fantastic & favorite veggie side was the braised cabbage! We will be back soon!

I’m not sure how on earth this place got any Michelin recognition - my meal here was the most disgusting I’ve ever had in my life. Publix buffet food would have been better. I urge Michelin Guide to re-evaluate this place. I also urge Miami Spice organizers to exclude them from next year’s restaurant roster because what they provided was absolutely false advertising and a complete rip off. Let’s start with the fact that they falsely advertise on the Miami Spice website that you can choose ANY appetizer or entree from their menu, no exceptions. FALSE! It was only when we sat down that the waiter informed us that any steak or seafood towers were not included and that there would be a $20 upcharge on other items, essentially eliminating half their menu. Now, if like me, you drove half an hour thinking you were going to order steak or something else fancy, you’d be sadly disappointed. First, let’s talk about how it took the waiter 20 minutes to take our order while I was starving, and one full HOUR before any food would arrive at our table. I ended up ordering the scallops for an appetizer and it wasn’t scallops plural, but one tiny smooshed undercooked slimy scallop. See pics. I saw our neighbors order the same thing and they got two scallops because they weren’t doing Miami Spice. So they were definitely penalizing and jipping you for actually doing the Miami Spice menu. Hey Mignonette, if you are too cheap to participate in Miami Spice, then don’t do it at all. Then as my entree, I ordered the Grouper w potatoes and Brussels sprouts. I’ve had lovely grouper before (light and flaky) and this was not grouper. If it was, it was the most cardboard-like, tastless, frozen and reheated piece of garbage I’ve ever tasted. I could barely choke it down as hungry as I was. I didn’t think anyone could mess up fingerling potatoes, but Mignonette managed to - the potatoes were undercooked, rock hard and yet also at the same time drenched in cooking oil which tasted like lighter fluid. The Brussels sprouts were equally heinous! Rock hard, uncooked, yet also soggy in cooking oil that hadn’t been changed out for a week. Not sure how they managed to burn the outside of both the potatoes and sprouts to a crisp, but have it raw on the inside. My mom’s snapper was slightly better and I wish I had ordered that instead. The final slap in the face came with dessert. A carrot cake, the saddest, tiniest sliver of frozen store bought carrot cake I’ve ever been served, lacking any taste, not containing any walnuts. Another piece of cardboard masquerading as dessert. Actually, I should say that I’ve had grocery store carrot cake 10x better. Zero ambiance. Looked like an abandoned storefront from the outside with a shady and unsafe gravel parking lot in back. No proper signage outside, I couldn’t even find the restaurant door. Both dining halls were headache-inducingly loud. The floors were so sticky your shoes would stick. Bathroom was something out of a horror movie - absolutely disgusting, I kid you not. I wish I had taken a picture of the toilet seat, which was discolored yellow and pink from 30 years of stains. A new toilet seat costs $17! The managers/owners of this place should be ashamed of themselves. In a city like Miami, in a neighborhood like Wynwood/Edgewater with so many great restaurants, how can they serve this atrocious food in a filthy establishment and have a Michelin mention?!? It’s mind boggling and they must have paid for the fake reviews. I left hungry, angry, and disappointed. Take it from this Yelp Elite, save your time and money and take a hard pass on this place. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

Wow. Thats the only way to start this review. Food was excellent. Service was top notch thanks to Ivan. If you love seafood, this place is a must. I had the seared scallops, wife had the grouper, both were excellent dishes. We had three appetizers; the spicy lobster bisque was delicious, the clams casino with bacon wow, and the crab cakes with Worcester butter sauce were incredible. But honestly it’s the ending that has blown us away. THE key lime pie is the best you’re ever going to have anywhere in the world. We’ve had it in so many places but nothing comes close to this pie. It’s 2pm the day after visiting the restaurant and all day I’ve been thinking of going there just for a piece pie and a glass of white wine. We look forward to visiting again. We tried several Miami Spice restaurants this year but Mignonette got it right. Pick any appetizer, any entree, any desert for the standard $60 everyone in the city is offering. The fact we got to chose anything we wanted made a huge difference.

I recently visited this authentic Italian restaurant, and while the food was good, the overall experience didn’t quite hit the mark. The menu had a nice selection of traditional dishes, and my meal was tasty — the pasta was fresh, and the flavors were spot on. However, something was missing in the ambiance. It didn’t quite have that cozy, warm Italian vibe I was expecting. The service was friendly, but the atmosphere felt a little off, maybe due to the lighting or music, or just a lack of energy in the room. Overall, I’d still recommend it if you’re craving a classic Italian dish, but it didn’t quite make the vibe I was hoping for. Still, worth checking out if you're in the area!

The food was amazing! The Spicy Vodka Rigatoni worth the hype, is delicious.. but the stat tonight was the white truffle fettuccine… absolutely mind blowing 🤯. The service is excelent, everyone in the restaurant was super kind and helpful, from the front door to the guy in front of the bathroom. José, the guy that made out Caesar salad, was super nice, always with a big smile on his face. It was my first time in Carbone and my experience was 10/10. I will definitely come back.

Great food at this place. We had a late night reservation. Ambiance turns up a little bit after 11pm which we enjoyed. Food was simple but flavorful. They do bring out what they call “snacks” prior to your meal which consist of bread, prosciutto, vinegar flavored cauliflower and some smoked cheese. Be careful not to get too full on these items. We had a Caesar salad to start. I’ve had better at other restaurants. However, the spicy rigatoni is a must. It’s simple yet fantastic in flavor. I highly recommend the Dover sole picatta fish. It was amazing. For dessert, we enjoyed the carrot cake which was also really good. They also provide rainbow cookies on the house. It does get crowded so get your reservations in asap.

Carbone is an upscale Italian-American restaurant featuring a beautiful interior and impeccable, entertaining service. While the quality of the food is great, the overall experience felt somewhat average. The presentation during serving was impressive, but the flavors didn’t quite meet my expectations. The portions are generous, and they serve a nice complementary bread basket with pickled cauliflower and salami, which was a delightful touch. We enjoyed the following dishes: calamari Marco, Caesar alla ZZ, caprese, fennel salad, and double lamb chops. However, both pastas we ordered—the fettuccini con funghi and the spicy rigatoni—were average. Needs reservation.

Dining at Carbone was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The spicy rigatoni was a standout, perfectly al dente with a luxurious balance of creaminess and spice that showcased true culinary precision. The veal Parmesan was equally remarkable—tender, flavorful, and enveloped in a crisp, golden crust with a rich tomato sauce that felt both classic and elevated. The fresh salad offered a bright contrast, while the complementary bread, along with the prosciutto and mozzarella, set an elegant tone for the meal. To conclude, the lemon cheesecake was light yet indulgent, its citrus notes providing a refined finish. Every detail was enhanced by the impeccable service of Kyle B., whose attentiveness, knowledge, and charm made the entire evening unforgettable.

We want to say how much of an amazing experience we had tonight at Carbone. Our server was knowledgeable and patient as he decribed the menu and the specials in its entirety as he guided us for our first time there. Apologies we forgot his name because the food was so MIND BLOWING…from the bread to the salami to the pass around Parmesan the dinner was amazing! Thank you so much to you and your team for sweeping my lady off her feet for her bday. When we go home to Brooklyn we’ll tell everyone that the MIAMI Carbone is the one to come to!

This place is a real 10/10. Amazing ambience and service. So nice inside. The best bread basket I’ve ever had with garlic bread, tomato bread and plain. The cheese too. Don’t eat too much here or you’ll be full. Cesar salad is made table salad but is pretty standard. The spicy rigatoni is a must. Simple but warm and hearty. Get a slice of cake for dessert too. Eating inside is a must if it’s your first time.

This review has no intend to hate on the restaurants, but being a warning to people with similar tastes as mine. I wish I googled what kind of Japanese omakase it would be before I decided to come. I’m not a stranger to delicacy food and kaiseki, but these taste palette left me very confused: huge slug, rice dessert, sea cucumber, etc. The chef approach is very unique and not everybody is ready for it.

As a sushi lover, Naoe is an absolute must-visit! The quality of the fish is outstanding, and each dish is a work of art. The intimate setting and attentive service make for a perfect dining experience. I can't recommend it enough—definitely a gem for sushi enthusiasts!

This is one of my favorite spots for Omakase. The quality and taste of all the varieties of sea food makes it an amazing experience. The chef served us Surf clams, they were delicious, but my favorite was the Camasuri if am spelling it correct lol, it’s sake cured Molet Rome ( fish eggs from the Molet) and the Eel The place is very nice and relaxing, smooth dim light and soft melody's. I recommend this place 100 % if you want good fresh quality food and a a pleasant night

10/10. Traditional omakase with a capital T. Included textures and ingredients not often found outside of Japan, let alone Asia. Very special meal and experience. The strawberries they served were flown in from Fukuoka. Best berries I’ve had in my life. It’s a privilege to come here. Only 4 guests per seating and 2 seatings per night!

My latest visit to Naoe was on my birthday, October 2nd. Chef Kevin and Samantha were the most gracious hosts. I always tell people that they'll never have a better Japanese experience outside of Japan than they will at Naoe.

An evening at NAOE is one you'll never forget. An authentic foodie experience where (during covid times) the restaurant offers a completely private experience where chef Kevin and restaurant manager Wendy will provide you with the utmost attention and level of omotenashi possible. It is absolutely wonderful. Everything is imported directly from Tsukiji Market in Japan and you can taste it in every plate. The presentation, the detail, the kindness and unparalleled hospitality... And most importantly the unique tastes of seafood like you've never experienced it before. Set aside at least 3h for your dinner and enjoy. Thank me later.

Different experience From all restaurants we have been anywhere else in Miami A unique concept of limiting the number of guests to 8 persons per night! That’s mean an excellent and relaxing service with no pushing or rushing. The Japanese super kind chef choose and served us the varieties of food of all kind with full explanation of each dishes content and origin and how it’s made and that was a feast for the eyes, the knowledge and the stomach Some plates were good and only two was little salty and some was served in very small portion Disappointed by the quantity and portions of the food which I believe it should be more since we paid over $800 for two and still little hangry! Anyhow it was our wedding anniversary and my wife and I we enjoyed the dinner and the amazing traditional old sake and the lovely service and the kindness of the chef and the experience of being in almost private dinner with few guests only

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.

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.

Hostesses were not great but otherwise a great meal. Food and drinks were all on point. Waitress was great with recommendations and overall service

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!

This place has become one of our favorite italian restaurants. I personally have tried every dish from the menu, and they’re all great! We went again last night and had a great time, our server Claudio was excellent! Will definitely keep coming back for more.

Without a doubt, this is the perfect place for a date or a special occasion. We went for Sunday brunch, which is a $69 prix fixe menu, and the price is excellent for the amount of food you get. I worked for many years in gastronomy and I can honestly say this restaurant gave me the best service I’ve ever received. The staff is attentive and aware of what you need without being intrusive. I noticed many details that elevate the whole experience: the servers are a 10/10, the presentation of the dishes, the view, the flavor, and the authenticity of the food. This place is an 11/10.

Hands down the best meal I’ve ever had in my life - my fiancé agreed and he is a bigger meat aficionado than I am. I ordered the angus 8oz filet and he ordered the Australian wagyu ribeye. I don’t even have the words to describe the flavor - it was simply perfect. Our server Lucia was just incredible - extremely kind and attentive. Same with the whole wait staff who constantly checked on us and wiped our table. The atmosphere was also lovely. Not too loud with good musical vibes in the background, just enough so you can hear you and your table speak. The experience was worth every minute and I would recommend KLAW to anyone visiting Miami. Just a personal quirk and not a criticism whatsoever, but I love collecting matchboxes which are normally offered as a small souvenir at host stands at high end restaurants. I was a little surprised there weren’t any matchboxes as I would have loved to add to my collection since I loved KLAW so much. Would totally recommend adding this small feature to the experience so folks can remember the memorable experience! Can’t wait to be back

Came here for the first time to try the Miami spice menu. Upgraded to add on the king crab legs. The food and drinks were excellent. Impeccable service. Several people were consistently checking in on us, wiping our table, seeing if we needed anything, all the courses were perfectly timed. We had a lovely and knowledgeable waiter. All the food was great and it was really unique to see the king crabs in the tank and being wheeled out to guests.

This is my first mean not on the rooftop so I could order off of the full menu. The selection of meat is outstanding with some interring sides and specials. They were pit of crabs the night I dined so I could not order my crab legs and steak. Attentive service, good food but a loud atmosphere.

It is always a pleasure to enjoy a delicious dinner in a space steeped in its own history—and such is the case with the building that houses this restaurant. Specializing in seafood for those passionate about the catch, the kitchen turns out dishes that are as flavorful as they are vivid in color and creativity. Service is warm and genuinely friendly. A place I gladly recommend.

My best friend got engaged to his girlfriend at the restaurant. It was a wonderful evening. The entire staff was very attentive to our needs, making the experience unforgettable. Sebastián was always attentive, providing exceptional service. The food, the drinks, the view—everything made the moment a memorable one. Thank you, Klaw Restaurant, for everything.

The atmosphere is very upscale and inviting! The steak selection was amazing and waiter really took time explaining each cut and where it was from. Unfortunately, they were out of their famous Norwegian king crab but they kindly made it know when you confirmed the text reservation so it wasn’t a surprise. Instead they had a lobster menu. Drinks were fantastic, the Omaha filet was very delicious but nothing to come back for. A5 was pricy at $34 or $36 an oz with a minimum of oz, but amazing.

My initial experience at the original Itamae in the Design District was truly eye-opening, with exceptional food, flavors, and service that left me eager to return. However, I am not convinced that this new iteration lives up to its predecessor. While the food was satisfactory, it lacked the "wow" factor that distinguishes a memorable meal. Several dishes at the beginning were unnecessarily spicy, overshadowing their underlying flavors and detracting from the overall dining experience. Although the quality of the ingredients was high, I expected more creativity and flair at this level. We opted for the sake pairing, which featured some intriguing selections. However, the timing of the pours was inconsistent, and the portions were too small to fully savor the experience. It would have been preferable not to have to consider asking for more. On the positive side, the atmosphere and service were commendable. The staff was welcoming and provided clear explanations of each dish and pairing. The chefs and the sommelier were great. The challenge for Itamae AO is the fierce competition in Miami's dynamic dining scene, which sets a high bar. Currently, I don't feel a compelling urge to revisit. Perhaps with some adjustments to the menu, I might be enticed to return in the future.

Really good elevated Peruvian food with Japanese omakase influences. Service was impeccable. The lobster with gnocchi and shrimp broth was beyond incredible and the standout dish. Chef was very accommodating with gluten and dairy allergy which was very much appreciated. Great soundtrack playing too! Elevated cuisine yet not too pretentious.

Truly the best dining experience. Staff was absolutely amazing!! I lost an earring back and everyone was trying to help find it!! Everyone at AO worked like a well oiled machine. My husband mentioned his military service to Kat and she was so nice to give us a discount! If you have the opportunity please go.

Overall a great experience! The staff were super friendly and attentive, an exceptional customer service and they treated us VERY well for our anniversary. A couple of comment worth noting, though not significant enough to give them 4 stars: The first being the choice of music. Though I understand it’s the chefs “personal” preference, which I can respect, it was… interesting and completely different from what I was expecting. Not bad though! Second being the spiciness of the food. Although I personally enjoy spicy food, and none of the food was overly spicy in my opinion, my wife has a “softer” palette and found one of the foods a bit too spicy. No complaints though because I got an extra dish to eat thanks to that! Keep it up Itamae, we’ll be back!

Itamae is a cozy yet bold restaurant, with impeccable service, unique ingredients, and a strong sense of creativity. It was a delightful birthday surprise, especially because every dish brought something new and unexpected. The experience is made even more special by the seating format — a single omakase-style counter with only ten seats — and the fact that you can watch every dish being finished right in front of you adds a unique layer of engagement. However, some of the flavors fell short or were so overpowering that they overshadowed the main ingredients. This was noticeable in the four-dish combo featuring Hon Maguro, Kinmedai, Hotate, and Aori Ika. The seasoning was so intense that it masked the delicate taste of the fish and seafood. The same issue occurred with the Maine Lobster dish: although the sweet potato gnocchi and salmon roe played creatively and harmoniously, the creamy sauce overwhelmed all the other elements in a heavy-handed way. On the positive side, the Kanpachi stood out — the textures and flavors were intriguing and well-balanced. The Lucuma dessert, with its perfect consistency and a mushroom-shaped garnish on top, offered a delicious sweet-and-savory twist. Overall, I had a good experience — full of charm — and watching the dish execution was definitely my favorite part. That said, I’m unlikely to return, mainly because the heavy sauces weighed down the flavor profile of most dishes.

The most incredible dining experience we've ever had. Every detail was flawless, and every bite was unforgettable. A must-visit destination.

I’m SHOCKED!! I’ve followed this chef and his family since design district and this new version of the restaurant is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It’s nestled in midtown (Entrance through sister restaurant Maty’s) and you immediately walk in to an intimate experience with front row counter seating to the chef and his team preparing the food. It’s an 8 course meal with 17 small plates from the cleanser, variation of ceviche tastings, tea intermission and multiple desserts you leave feeling beyond satisfied. The meal was a story by the end we had eaten eel from Maine, the chef’s dad favorite mushrooms, and 42 day aged tuna. The team served in such a welcoming manner you felt like you were eating with friends, plus the touches of hip hop music and modern design made the space feel so relaxed and enjoyable. Definitely coming back!

Secluded in the historical and charming Las Palmas Hotel in the heart of Coral Gables, Shingo is the Japanese experience that pays homage to its hometown culture by bringing the best in art, culinary gastronomy, and colorful flowering arrangements. Their intimate setup serves as the perfect reserved area to host their all-hands warming Japanese service. Impressed by their welcoming spirit (very typical of their Japanese characteristic), the positive vibes and good aura will bless you with the correct mood to enjoy their delightful bites Salmon or Tuna Teka Maki, meticulously cut and seasoned by the acclaimed Michelin Award Chef, Shingo itself. Who will always make sure to sprinkle the right amount of soy sauce on each roll piece. One of the lovely owners and hosts, Kaori, will guide you through the sophisticated drink selections, not limited to their classic Sakes (Junkai Ginjo Kikusul or the well-balanced between bitter and crisp: Shintaro, or the Karakushi Honjozo), but also including the finest Valée (75 Mois de Cave) champagne, or a more Italian Bianco del Maestro Mastropietro White wine. All of them pair very well with their bites, but for me, the top winner is their organic raw matcha, for the first time, I really felt I was drinking the legit one, as it tasted so natural that you could really absorb all of its ingredients and tea flavoring. Their handcrafted art offering is composed of delicate pieces of vases that vary from flower bases, tea servers, or useful bowls; all of them are offered for sale; which makes perfect sense to hold any of the colorful flower arrangments curated by Shingo’s flower girls. ありがとう Shingo and team for taking us to the soul of Japan in the middle of Coral Gables.

The food at Shingo was exceptional—easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Miami. From start to finish, the staff made everything feel seamless and genuinely pleasant. They were incredibly attentive without being overbearing, and every detail was handled with care. Each plate was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The quality and freshness of the fish were simply unmatched. I also appreciated how each course was explained with intention, adding depth to an already outstanding meal. Truly an unforgettable experience. I’ll absolutely be coming back.

Simply delicious! Having been to a number of omakase in Miami, this is one of the best! As many reviews have stated (eg Infatuation), it's no frills, but damn good! There's something special when the chef/owner is cutting the fish and serving you, which is not common these days. Here and Hidden would be my favorite!

Best experience I've ever had. Being there and seeing Shinto making the pieces of art in front of my eyes was extraordinary. The waitress noticed I'm lefty and started to fix all the table to fit my strong hand and it was so special.

The Shingo team presents an extraordinarily well thought-out progression of flavors and themes. Every detail is mindfully curated, and the result is an elevated Omakase experience that somehow feels effortless. I highly recommend the premium pairing selections. My highest compliments to Chef Shingo and his knowledgeable service team.

You will not get better sushi in the United States and I’d go as far to say as the world. Chef Shingo and Chef Yuta are world class and their Michelin star speaks for itself. They are serving the highest quality fish. I’ve had Michelin star omakase in Tokyo and this is just as good if not better. The service is bar none spectacular. This is my 2nd time visiting and it won’t be my last!

The “Omakai Experience” at the $95 price point was very disappointing. There were 17 dishes in total, and the first was a sashimi appetizer with fish that still had tendon attached. I’ve never had an omakase, cheap or expensive, serve fish with tendon. I would expect that from an AYCE sushi place, but never from an upscale omakase restaurant. I’ve had fish from a Japanese supermarket that was better and much cheaper. The oysters were fishy, but at $3 per piece, we knew we were taking a risk. The king salmon’s color looked off and unnaturally bright. It was also fishy. The toro lacked the melt-in-your-mouth texture it’s known for. It’s supposed to be the star of all the fish, but it fell very, very short. The sushi rice was not hand-formed. It clearly came from a sushi machine, and the rice fell apart whenever I dipped my sushi into soy sauce. I came here because of the high rating and large number of reviews. I really wanted to like this place. We’re from LA and recently relocated to Gainesville, where we’ve been deprived of good sushi. It’s unfortunate that we wasted one of our precious Miami meals at Omakai.

This place was so amazing that I came back a second night during my vacation for another dinner. Literally everything was perfect and a culinary experience I want to enjoy again. The drinks (Chinese mule), the dim sum, the tofu dish, orange chicken, and Sichuan chicken were incredible. Even the restaurants decor and ambiance was stunning.

Always love coming here for cantonese dishes and sexy atmosphere with my husband. We always get the dim sum and the hot and sour soup is the only best. We enjoy that fact that you can have Lobster with garlic and ginger prepared how you want it, we enjoy it steamed. I highly recommend it! Thank you Bruno for the great service and the enthusiasm.

So far Hakkasan has been the best restaurant we’ve visited on our trip. Everything we ordered was a blast of flavor, fresh, and let out an audible WOW. Our server Bruno made our dining experience 100/10, very attentive and gave us the best recommendations. I wish every restaurant had a Bruno to serve us!

This is a great Chinese restaurant. The food is very tasty; the duck and dim sum are my favorites. The atmosphere is upscale and the service is attentive. It's a little overpriced, but that's to be expected in Miami.

From the moment you walk in until you’re seated, Hakkasan Miami feels first-class. The interior is stunning and gives off the vibe of a private, exclusive dining room. Our server was very professional and explained the option of choosing the tasting menu or ordering à la carte. We went with à la carte, and it was the right call. • Green Salad – Fresh and vibrant, with the tropical sweetness of mango. Absolute fire. • Lobster Dumpling – Light, delicate, and packed with flavor. A real standout. • Beef Ribs – Probably our least favorite at the table, but still tasty. • French Beans – Perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor. Definitely a must-order if you visit. • Foie Gras Dumpling – Rich, decadent, and simply amazing. My take: This is a must-visit when in South Beach. The food and the ambiance were both outstanding. After a disappointing dinner on our first night in Miami, Hakkasan completely turned things around. I’d absolutely come back again. Cheers, BN

Dinner Review for Daniella at Hakkasan, Fontainebleau Miami 🌟 From the moment we were seated, Daniella made the entire dining experience unforgettable. Her professionalism, warm energy, and deep knowledge of the menu elevated our night beyond just a meal — it felt like a curated experience. She wasn’t just attentive — she was intuitive, anticipating what we needed before we even asked. Every recommendation she gave (especially the [insert dish if you’d like]) hit perfectly, and her timing, grace, and hospitality were 5-star. Hakkasan’s ambiance is already incredible, but Daniella’s service is what truly set the evening apart. She’s a gem and a true example of what luxury dining service should feel like. Thank you, Daniella — I’ll be asking for you every time I return. 🙌

Bruno did a superb job with service. Absolutely perfect and personable. The selection of food was fantastic and the chef creates delicious meals. Dessert and drinks exquisite too!

There are no words to express our appreciation of the amazing experience we had at The Matador. Ely, the chef and the staff went all out from the setting, to the service, to the food. We will never forget the evening. Thank you for everything and for making the evening truly special.

Truly a spectacular experience! We had the entire restaurant to ourselves, VIP seating on the window with exceptional service from Maria and David, whom must of stopped by our table at least a dozen times to check if we were having a great time. The flavors and presentation were fantastic, especially the tuna tartar, and Nutella croissant which is served warmed! Oh la la!

Service was good and the food was quite good. We enjoyed the truffle pizza, filet mignon wingtips and the chicken and rice. Drinks were solid and the bar service was nice. The prices were also reasonable. Something didn’t click all the way, maybe because we went early and was a bit quiet. Regardless, will try again.

Highlight of the place is attentive servers. Have visited the place several times, food is great, and it is attention to detail that comes through in every dish. Even side salad and breakfast potatoes are excellent! Short rib tacos are one of my favorite items on the menu. When ordering guacamole you can ask for a side of veggies which are always fresh and flavorful instead of chips if you want to be on a healthier side. Burger is great, drinks are really yum as well.

Great food and even better atmosphere! Outdoors is phenomenal and very nice. Food was great, the place is by Jean-Georges, so we never doubted the food. We ordered a lot of things - Avocado Pizza (very unique and amazing), Mushroom tacos (to die for), Brussel sprouts were soooo yum (even though I am usually not a big fan). The drinks were expensive but very good. Overall a great experience

Words cannot even express how impressed we are!! We are literally blown away by Chef Noel, Sebastian, Christian and Jean. They are THE BEST!!!! The food, the service, literally out of this world. We cannot WAIT to come back!

Loved the Matador. The food and drinks were excellent, service was attentive and friendly, and the vibes are great. We had a pea guacamole, which was flavorful and fresh. Good combination of flavors and came with a generous portion of tortilla chips. The octopus appetizer was truly exceptional — and my octopus standards are particularly high, if I may say so myself. Full of flavor, soft, and yet cooked through and not slimy at all. Loved that dish. The snapper entree was also fantastic — fresh, very tasty, cooked to perfection, and a good portion. Lastly the coconut tres leches dessert was so great we ordered it again through room service a couple of nights later. Great place!

The place was beautifully decorated, and the service was great. The food was tasty, but the portions were way too small. I also tried their most famous drink, The Swan, and it was just okay. Overall, nice spot but could improve on portion sizes.

Went here with a group of girls and we love a good restaurant with great vibes! It was a Friday night, and the place was gorgeous. Towards the end of the night there was an awesome DJ in the courtyard under the lights and trees! It was definitely a fun experience, especially for a girls night out! Food was great, but service was a little lacking. Our server was great, but we did order drinks that didn’t come for 30 minutes at least. There were a few sides we ordered that didn’t come at all but still charged. We brought it to our servers attention and he took immediate care of it. We had many apps: burrata, Parker house rolls, Brussels sprouts, and crab cake and all were good. I had the rigatoni for dinner it was good and filling- couldn’t even finish! The menu is limited and all sides you order separate from entrees. Would def eat here again!

I have passed by this location several times but haven't got around to trying it out until recently and the results are in. Outstanding! Simply outstanding! The decor from the entrance to the inside, and outdoor seating is all put in a very nice and comfortable setting. Before setting foot to this restaurant, I highly recommend setting up reservations. This is a popping spot and is great for groups and for a date too. I got around to trying the brunch out which I really enjoyed all the dishes but a few things that stood out to me were the service. The service was exceptional from the beginning! I really enjoyed how after every dish was served, our tables were wiped clean in a professional manner. Got to love that attention to detail! Second, the fried chicken dish comes with mac and cheese baked into the waffle which has a cornbread feel and taste to it! You heard that right! It makes this chicken and waffle brunch plate unique! Lastly the cinnamon roll, one of my favorites and so darn good! I would come back just to experience this again! I'm surprised how good this spot turned out to be and it took so long to go ahead and finally check it out. If you need a new spot to try out for brunch and to check out, add Swan to your list.

Average and overpriced food. The menu is small, with a few dishes that sound amazing on paper but fail in execution. The honey-glazed salmon was overcooked and dry, the seared tuna was chewy and tasteless, and the truffle fries were room temperature and definitely not worth $24. The crab cakes and Brussels sprouts were good. Everything tasted like Costco-premade food (nothing wrong with that, just not what you expect from a restaurant like this)—extra points for the presentation. The service was amazing, friendly, and helpful. The restaurant itself is cute, and nicely decorated, but with really loud music.

Came here with some girl friends this past Friday, July 2 for a late lunch at 2:30. We had a reservation but I do think we would’ve been fine without, considering it was a weekday lunch. Although, I do know for a fact they get busy on the weekends and for dinner! But just something to consider, given their reservation cancellation fee is $140 if I remember correctly. And not only that, but you have to cancel a FULL 3 days in advance which is a little outrageous in my opinion. The vibe here is immaculate. Whether you sit inside in their pink cute decorated dining room or enjoy all of the greenery outside on their patio, which has a very good amount of shade. The food was pretty good! I was super pleased to learn that they had a gluten free pasta. I got the gluten free pasta with a butter and cheese on it and it was pretty delicious. I also really appreciated the portions. They were all on the smaller side, but a reasonable size for a meal unlike other places where you have leftovers at the end of the meal or you just eat until you’re overly stuffed. The drinks were delicious and beautiful. It’s not a place I would make one of my regular Miami spots but I do think it’s definitely worth going to at least once because it really is just a beautiful restaurant!

Came here for a Private Gathering of Masterminds with “The Collective” & had the most amazing service. I’m allergic to wheat/gluten & Ignacia was so attentive in ensuring I was aware of every course that I was able to eat or not. She even went the extra mile to ensure I had a gluten free pasta & sorbet desert with pudding. I would highly recommend coming here for group events as they appear to really take pride in service & taking care of their guests. My favorites were the Hamachi Crudo, Buratta with fig, Coconut Crab Cake, & Branzino. The Lychee mocktail was also refreshing!

Beautiful outdoor garden patio and pink interior. We came on a Friday afternoon for brunch and it wasn’t too busy. The hostess was slow but the server was very attentive. We ordered a variety of items to share with the table. The branzino was definitely my favourite! It was cooked perfectly and the fish was nice and juicy. The burrata was also delicious and the tomatoes were super fresh!

I have tasted better cardboard than the tasteless pizza served here. I. Might as well bought a frozen California pizza. My colleague got cacio e pepe which was an improvement. TIP IS INCLUDED BUT NOT SERVICE. There is a lot of staff that has not mastered time on task. If you make a suggestion or comment you are just blankly stared at but what else would they do the tip is included no matter what. The VERY GOOD RESTAURANTS in Miami don’t demand a forced tip. But if you like conveyor belt service then you will enjoy this place. This is definitely not my CASA TUA CUCINA. If you don’t speak Spanish you might want to skip this place. There is a nice “grocery store” here that features Italian fare.

Casa Tua Cucina remains one of our Brickell rituals — elegant yet welcoming, always delivering beautiful food and atmosphere. The menu is beautifully wide yet curated, from fresh pasta and seafood to perfect salads and pastries. Everything tastes authentically Italian, beautifully executed, and consistent. A special praise to manager Davide. We were so happy to see him growing with the brand — he’s always been exceptionally kind, attentive, and professional. Moments like this remind us why Casa Tua feels more than a restaurant — it’s a community of people who truly care about what they do.

The vibe is great, relaxed and welcoming, and the food is absolutely delicious. The service is solid, but what I love most is how easy it is to enjoy a good meal here. It’s never a hassle to get a table because the place is so spacious.

Highly recommend it! Extremely tasty! Friendly and polite service too… I would give 4.5 stars instead of 5, the glasses smelled and that’s the fault of the dishwasher not being serviced or not having the high quality detergent! Anyhow definitely go and anything you order you will be satisfied.

I had a wonderful time, my server Ana was amazing. She was extremely attentive and made my birthday amazing! Food was perfect, service was fast, everything was 10/10.

Always a wonderful meal at this place. Great service and great atmosphere. Our server, Hugo, was excellent and made sure we feel at home.

The food here is delicious, and I usually come for both the atmosphere and the taste. However, the restaurant is always full of people, and it seems that this makes the service very tense. The waiters looked stressed and acted in an unfriendly way, which made us feel uncomfortable. I understand it was a busy Friday night, but still, we were left with a very poor impression of the service.

Our table opted for the premium tasting menu, and it was a lot of food,in the best way. Everything was beautifully timed and served at a perfect pace, so nothing felt rushed or overwhelming. Each course flowed nicely into the next, and every bite was delicious. The atmosphere was incredible!vibrant, stylish, and full of energy! Service was smooth and attentive, making the whole experience feel effortless. Overall, a really fun and memorable night. Definitely worth it if you’re looking for a great dining experience in Miami.

We had the Sekushi 10-course tasting at Sexy Fish Miami and it was amazing! Every dish was delicious and beautifully done — from the sushi and sashimi to the grilled seafood and dessert. The atmosphere was perfect, with a great DJ playlist that set the vibe just right. Our server Antony was super friendly and took great care of us all night. Definitely one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Miami!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had visited other Sexy Fish locations before, so expectations were high — and they were not disappointed! We chose the Sunday Brunch and the experience was simply incredible. The atmosphere is very pleasant, and the food, prepared with fresh, top-quality ingredients, was excellent from starters to dessert. A standout point is the service: we were attended by Sabrina, who greeted us with a smile, answered all our questions, and paid attention to every little detail, ensuring our experience was perfect, even with the place fully packed. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy great ambiance and delicious food — a truly memorable experience!

Phenomenal ambiance, staff, food and drinks. Everything about this place was perfect. Love how attentive the staff was in all aspects. Cleaning the table and maintaining clean silverware after every dish. From front check in staff to back staff, everything was great. I highly recommend dining here. I will be dining here again on my next visit back to Miami.

I had Sexy Fish Miami saved on my list of must-visit places for a long time, and finally visited it today. Sushi is my favorite food, and of course I tried it here it was excellent, definitely a five out of five. I also found out that this place turns into a nightclub where people can dance, but since we came on a Sunday, the club wasn’t open. The atmosphere was pleasant, the interior is beautiful, and even the bathrooms are stunning all the girls love taking photos there. We spent about $200 for two cocktails and four sushi rolls, not including tips.

Fantastic service, highly recommend! Came here to try out their Happy Hour (big fan of small bites for my small appetite) and left impressed ✨! Ordered the Chios which was wonderfully crafted by a kind Venezuelan bartender (forgot his name 😫). The hamachi was high quality and buttery soft, delicious. The chicken yakitori have a hint of heat but were cooked very well, nice char on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. Decor, ambiance and fun themed bathrooms were all gorgeous and pretty to look at. Will definitely be back!

This place was absolutely amazing! The food was 💯🔥—every bite felt like perfection. The grilled octopus was tender and perfectly charred, the mushrooms were cooked just right, and the sushi burst with fresh, vibrant flavor. And that Chocolate Meltdown dessert? Pure magic. The combination of rich chocolate, silky mango purée, and creamy vanilla ice cream was like tasting heaven, earth, and clouds all at once. I never could’ve imagined such a perfect harmony of flavors. The service was on point, the ambiance was stunning, and everything about the experience felt luxurious yet welcoming. Can’t wait to come back!

Dirty French Steakhouse Miami I stumbled upon this restaurant on Instagram and subsequently made a reservation for my friends and me to dine. Upon arrival, we were impressed by the restaurant's decor. The ambiance was modern and trendy, with a captivating atmosphere that transported us to another world. While waiting for our companions at the bar, the receptionist provided exceptional care. The service at this establishment is outstanding. Upon entering, we were struck by the unique decor, which exuded a distinct style. The atmosphere was indeed exceptional. At our dining table, the receptionist was knowledgeable and well-versed in the menu offerings. We ordered numerous dishes, which were satisfactory, although some may have been overly salty. However, it's possible that this was due to our unfamiliarity with the cuisine. Notably, the desserts and ice cream were exceptional, with 18 toppings available. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the service staff for making our dining experience truly memorable. I look forward to returning in the future.

I had the BEST birthday dinner here! The staff is so friendly, that's a huge part of the experience for me. Our server was from Hawaii, and he was one of the best servers I've ever had, and I frequently fine dine around the world. So genuine. Not to mention the food is absolutely delicious, and the decor is absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend the Caesar Salad, and 10 layer chocolate cake for dessert- it's to die for.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dirty French Steakhouse Brickell Spectacular place! The ambiance is elegant yet full of energy, and the music sets the perfect vibe to dine, sip, and enjoy. My waiter, Mark, was absolutely amazing funny, attentive, and knew the menu inside out. His recommendations were spot on! The Snapper was out of this world, the dirty rice and steak were perfectly cooked, and those sauces… Lord, exquisite! A true Brickell gem can’t wait to go back!

It was very good quality of food! Everything tasted awesome. The service is very good and the vibe and interior design of the space is great, very much like speakeasy vibe. The beef carpaccio was one of my favorites and the steak was so tender and perfectly cooked. We also tried the wedge Salad definitely worth trying it. It is a little pricy but worth going at least once

Very beautiful place with a great service. Was taken there to celebrate my belated birthday. Food is okey, but could be better for the price they charge. Ordered a bottle of red wine, oysters , crab cake, snapper, steak , mushrooms and desert. Total bill was $600 (with tax and tips).

Dirty French Steakhouse, located at 1200 Brickell Ave in Miami's Brickell neighborhood, offers a unique blend of French-inspired cuisine and classic steakhouse fare. The restaurant's interior is a throwback to the late '70s and '80s, featuring hot pink neon signs, zebra-striped chairs, and disco-themed rooms, creating a vibrant and nostalgic atmosphere. Sooooo cool! The food was delicious but expensive. There was five in our group and the bill was $1300 😳. Glad I went but that is a one time deal for me with those costs. Overall, Dirty French Steakhouse provides a lively and nostalgic dining experience, making it a notable spot for special occasions in Miami.

It was a fun time with friends. Service was on point. Basement vibes almost like a NY meat packing district restaurant. Overall okay but a bit pricey for the quality of food. I did leave with my belly full and happy 😊

If you’re looking for a club vibe and get a delicious meal this is the place to go. My husband took me here for our anniversary. The waiters themselves were respectful and joyful. We had Franco, he was humorous and extremely informative with the menu. I had a churrasco with rice and a mocktail. The rice itself was a bit too salty for my liking but the overall meal tasted natural. I highly recommend when celebrating a birthday (they sang happy birthday to like 7 people 😂).

Totally enjoyed the food here. Carlos made such great recommendations to me. His service is hospitable and warm. He is the one to look for. The ceviches are great starters. The grilled octopus has such a wonderful charred flavour. And I never know corn can be so sweet. The seafood rice is delicious to round off the meal. Would come again!

the food was beyond great I recommend the ceviches shareables n a side of extra tostones because damn! It’s so good, everything taste fresh and so flavorful. my server was junior and he did a phenomenal job, super attentive, great suggestions if you ask him. definitely comin back

Exquisite food, excellent service. Valet parking right up front. Super fast service. I enjoyed the location’s decor and open kitchen concept. You can see them making your meal. Loved the atmosphere is very chic and the alcoholic beverages were on point.

From the moment we walked into Cvi.Che 105, we were wowed by the vibrant ambiance. The decor strikes a beautiful balance between modern elegance and tropical warmth—lush greenery, bold art, and a lively yet relaxed vibe that instantly sets the tone for a great night out. Our server Franco was phenomenal. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu, he guided us to the perfect dishes to share for our group of three. With his help, we chose El Trio Perfecto Nunca Falla and Pulpito Herradura—both ideal for sharing and absolutely delicious. The staff overall was kind and attentive, but Franco made our evening exceptional. If you’re visiting, ask for him—you’ll be in great hands. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit!

We saw the amazing reviews for this restaurant and knew we had to give it a try — and we’re so glad we did! As people who aren’t too familiar with Peruvian cuisine, we didn’t quite know where to start, but luckily our waiter, Franco, did. Franco guided us through the menu with confidence and enthusiasm, offering recommendations that we happily followed — in fact, we let him curate our entire dining experience. It was an incredible decision. The food was absolutely outstanding, and Franco made the evening truly unforgettable. I travel the world for work and have dined in some of the best restaurants across major cities, and I can honestly say Franco was the best waiter I’ve ever had. The food alone would have made this a fantastic meal, but Franco’s service elevated it to something special. The restaurant’s décor and overall vibe were also excellent — warm, stylish, and perfectly suited to the experience. Highly recommend!!!

An amazing restaurant with a great atmosphere, exceptional food, and outstanding service. We had Luis as our server and he was so attentive! His recommendations were amazing! We had the traditional ceviche and the loma saltado. My wife and I shared the dishes for lunch and it was perfect!

Fantastic experience at Smith & Wollensky in Miami Beach. We were seated inside, which was very comfortable and elegant. The food was excellent, our steaks were perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the service was attentive and professional throughout. (See pic.) They do have beautiful outdoor seating with waterfront views, but it’s first-come, first-served and not available for reservation, so be prepared to wait if you want to sit outside. Highly recommend for great food, excellent service, and a polished dining experience.

Our dinner at Smith & Wollensky – Miami Beach was nothing short of unforgettable. The food was outstanding — perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish we tried was a hit, from the seafood tower(must have) to the steaks and sides. What truly made the night special, though, was the incredible service. Miguel and Marco went above and beyond to make our evening perfect. Their warm hospitality, thoughtful recommendations, and attention to detail elevated the entire experience. Thanks to them, this turned out to be the best night of our trip to Miami. If you're planning a visit, I highly recommend requesting Miguel and Marco as your servers — they’ll make your evening one to remember. We can’t wait to come back!

Food was excellent. I had Crab cake and the New York strip steak, 16 oz, it was amazingly tasty, juicy and good! The grancake had very nice acid sauce on side, that was giving great hit for the dish. I was sitting outside, with beautiful riverside view to rhe city skyline. It was really worth of coming.

I have been procastrinating trying out this place for the longest time and I finally went..we showed up without any reservations and were given a table with an awesome view. It was too hot to seat outside. The attention to detail from every staff member is superb. Wine selection was very good and the food was delicious. After checking this from my bucket list , it is now on my list of places to visit again.

The day of eating at a Top-level steak house has come again. We were very excited this morning because we have been waiting for a week and finally we can eat top-quality steaks again. A steak will cost at least 100 to 200 US dollars, so we dare not take risks and choose randomly. At present, the choice of restaurant must be a national chain or even a famous foreign chain restaurant. Even if the local steakhouse has high reviews, it may be there are too many tourists and there are more opportunities to score, so we have to choose carefully. This one is the designated restaurant for the richest man in the United States, Buffett, to dine with others. The higher the grade of the restaurant, the more luxurious the decoration. Sometimes the lights look dim, and the people sitting inside seem to be upper-class people. They all order a glass of wine. Today's restaurant has indoors that meet our requirements, but the outdoor dining area is more Latin American in style, so we are very cautious. We ordered a medium-rare wet-aged rib-eye steak, and told him that 70% was raw beef. We showed the waiter a steak doneness comparison chart, but he brought the steak that was almost medium. Luckily, we sent it back immediately after cutting it, otherwise it would have been like the steak we had at Morton's that day, which was like a rock. We explained it very clearly when ordering, so they had nothing to say and immediately replaced it with a new one. However, we were a little careless this time. Although the steak he replaced was medium-rare, delicious and oily, it was thinner and smaller in size. In fact, we had taken pictures before, and we should have asked him to give us a full portion then and there. Maybe we are too kind to others in normal times and didn't think of this. When we got home, we didn't feel full, so we realized something was wrong. In the past month, we have eaten at four top-level steak houses, and the portion was more than enough each time, but this time replaced one was a little less./250924

Had the most amazing time at Smith and Wollensky outside bar. Our server/bartender was William and he recommended the Angry Shrimp… OMG they were fantastic!!! We also had their chocolate cake that was amazing! I enjoyed my time there and will definitely go back to see William at the outside bar. He’s GREAT and the vibe at the bar is fun!!

Seriously great food at a seriously wonderful location, facing the beautiful Fisher Island and Downtown Miami. Have a meal outside (especially in the evening) and enjoy the fabulous food alongside the beautiful setting. Sun-set time is especially recommended. Everything we ate was delicious and meticulously prepared.

I visited this place during my vacation in Miami. The food was amazing. One thing that surprised me was that they serve halal steak. We tried their halal steak, and it was perfectly cooked and well presented. I really appreciate them for offering halal meat. The service was excellent. The only issue I have is their 18% service charge, which I believe is too high. The food was a bit pricey, but worth the money. I would go back there again for their halal steak.

What a great way to start the day than having breakfast here. Everything was amazing as far as the food goes but the best part about it was Ashae, she was wonderful and she made our morning even better!! We loved her and are gonna miss our time here. Thank you Ashae!!!

Very good service. Food is phenomenal and has great presentation. The bread they serve at the beginning is some of the best bread service I have ever had. The only downside is that because it's in a hotel that hosts events, the atmosphere may very. For us there was a part on the floor above that was literally shaking the ceiling. The whole four was reverberating from it.

Food was great but service sucked. I went twice and the first time the hostess took my order and said they would relay to the service. 10-15 minutes the server came over and took my order another 15 minutes went by and then i got my food before i even got the water I had ordered twice. 2nd trip was smoother, got service more promptly and then the server forgot about us. Waited 15 minutes to finally flag him down to pay. Food was tasty but expensive as expected. Will venture outside of the hotel next time

I visited after hearing several glowing reviews and wanted to experience it for myself. Unfortunately, my visit on Halloween night was disappointing. The atmosphere itself is beautiful, elegant decor and a lively ambiance which is the only reason I’m giving this place two stars instead of one. The service quality and portion sizes, however, left much to be desired. Upon arrival, I made a polite request to our server regarding a small accommodation from the chef. Without even checking, the server declined my request rather abruptly. I decided to stay despite that initial interaction, hoping the experience would improve. Everyone can have an off-day, after all. I imagine, having to work on a festive holiday is upsetting for the server. If you don’t want to work, then don’t. The food overall was average at best. While the protein was cooked well, the portions were noticeably small for the price point, and the drink presentation was underwhelming. For a restaurant with such strong praise, I expected more warmth, attentiveness, and creativity. Sadly, the experience didn’t live up to the hype.

We arrived without a reservation on a Thursday around 6pm and we were delighted that they were able to seat us quickly as we had a long 10 hour drive that day. Needless to say we were ready to tear it up on good food. We came here as me and my husband have been here before for cocktails and enjoyed our experience and said we would get dinner next time. We brought friends with us as we were all vacationing together to celebrate our anniversary’s. Let’s get into it- We were seated immediately and our server was at our table as we were being seated filling up our glasses with water. It gave us a chance to read over menus and have him explain things on the menu. Our server was fantastic. We ordered a good spread of food, some managed to get photographs taken before we jumped in. Everything with our appetizers was delicious and cooked great. The flavors were extremely satisfying after a day of snacking in the car. The Amarillo ceviche came as a suggestion from our server and it was absolutely delicious. 2 of us ordered the Wagyu, and both were ordered medium and arrived medium. They tasted amazing, so tender and flavorful. I like how they seasoned them and added the butter on top and it really made for an enjoyable meal. I also ordered the potatoes 3 ways and they were great. It had little crispy potatoes flaked on top, little tiny baby potatoes, and mashed potatoes. It was delicious. One of us said it was the best steak they’ve ever had, and for me personally it was in my top 5. I’ve tried lots of Wagyu and it was delicious, but I’ve had better. This is where the lack of 5 stars on food came from for me. I would absolutely come back again as it was a very enjoyable meal and really wasn’t a bad price for a very nice meal. Our server also made the experience enjoyable as we didn’t have to wait on refills, he was amazing at explaining any questions we had, and his suggestions also made for a very enjoyable dinner. The food also came out in a nice timely manner and we weren’t sitting for hours waiting so that was also nice to get dinner wrapped up quickly and into bed for our cruise the next morning.

During our recent stay at the Intercontinental Hotel in Miami, we had the opportunity to dine at Toro Toro on a Saturday night, and it was a pleasant experience. Our evening began in the comfortable lounge area, where we enjoyed a couple of cocktails while watching a college SEC game on a large screen. The combination of sports, bar ambiance, great food, and attentive service made for an enjoyable start. Our server from the lounge also provided excellent service at our dining table. She was knowledgeable about the menu and even brought the head chef to our table for an introduction and to explain some of the dishes. We started our dinner with prawns, octopus, and pork belly, which were all satisfying. However, the highlights were the perfectly cooked filet mignon and the flavorful red snapper, along with a great wine list offering many worldwide options. We ordered a bottle of Medalla Malbec from Argentina, which had a very nice bouquet, medium to full body, dark ruby red color, low tannin, and a slightly dry finish. Our side dishes, including broccolini and lobster mac and cheese (amazing), were also well-prepared and delicious. The dessert options, such as flan, key lime pie, and various cakes, were tempting for those with room for dessert. The overall dining experience at Toro Toro was fantastic, with our high-top dining table and big screen TV adding to the ambiance, especially with the great service and tasty food. We would definitely consider returning on our next trip to Miami.

Probably the best dining experience I have ever had. An absolutely astonishing gastronomic experience. The decor, service and food were on another level. Our waiter Louis was exceptional and helped us come to grips with the concept and the contents of the menu. His passion for the food was infectious and he pointed us toward great choices. You must come to this place with an open mind and palate. Each small plate that came out had us uttering OMG this is amazing!! We had pork, chicken thighs, mushrooms, flank steak, ceviche and black squid paella. The pace of the meal was perfect. No rush at all and if you got too full they wouldn't bring out anymore food, even if your ordered it. What an exceptional experience that won't soon be forgotten! Bravo!

Overall, our experience was good. We liked most of the dishes. Our less favorite perhaps the dragon fruit ceviche… the pork belly bun and the coconut rice were spectacular! Did not take picture of our dessert, but we enjoyed the key lime pie as well🙌🏽 It is easy to tell that José Andrés does a great job bringing Spain to Miami, mixing different flavors and textures in a comfy vibe.

All dishes are absolutely amazing! The typical feeling of “don’t know what it is but so good”. My favorite is churrasco, like how did the chef get the idea of using passion fruit and espresso?! Really a great place for Spanish and creative food lover. Have to note that the paella-style pasta could be “fishy” for some people. Service is amazing! The waiter recommended things well and gave us champagne for honeymoon. We had a well-balanced (hot vs cold, meat vs seafood) dinner with his recommendation. However, please be aware of the bathroom and environment. The bathroom is clean and nice, but FULL of mirrors. My husband said that was his weirdest bathroom experience in his life. The dinning room is nice and elegant, but lots of people pass the restaurant to go to the club inside on Friday night. Seeing many people wearing minimal clothes passing by during dinner is kind of an interesting experience.

Food was unique and delicious. Many dishes we tried were fusion and has some asian influence. The service was great and the ambience and atmosphere was nice. It is a more pricey and higher end restaurant. Would come for special occasions and if you want to try something more unique and different.

Don’t walk, run to this restaurant before it closes!!!! Another brilliant restaurant by Jose Andreas! Great restaurant for a special occasion with tapas style plates. Ordered 10 plates to share with friends and every plate was perfectly dressed, had amazing but unique flavor profiles that.made excited to try the next dish! Pricey but worth every penny!!!! Cocktails were also amazing and the sangria is a must have!

Truly enjoyed the ambiance, the menu has a wonderful tapas style serving., smoked oysters, slow cold chicken, cerviche.....cervical...... and the menu goes on to add Brussels and of course great wine choices. Price point $$$$. Service was very good and good vibes and energy. If your a foodie you must go.

Amazing tapas place.. we liked every single dish. The steak with coffee was my favourite. The service was amazing. They also made us customized cocktails which was great. Definitely on the costly side but definitely worth it.

Great space for a nice air conditioned meal in South Beach. Wonderful selection of salad and other cold items accompanied by the usual array of delicious meats. Visited Mo day, so nice back again on the Wednesday. Went heavy on the steaks but also wide range of chicken, pork, sausages and the like, just about perfect on the timings in terms of appearing with fresh cuts :) Very consistent service from the also despite shift patterns meaning we didn’t see any of the same folk, good testament to them

Meat was wonderful. Service was great, One of servers Flor was super pleasant and wonderful! Salad bar wasn’t as plentiful as Texas de Brazil. The room we sat in was not as nice as other parts of the restaurant. Overall its was good, but lacked aesthetics you expect for the price you pay. Would like to see it nicer inside.

I was in Miami for a work event. The company hosting bought out the restaurant. The food was never ending and delicious. I had the pleasure of meeting 2 Alex’s at the restaurant. Alex the server was amazing and very attentive. Alex the bartender created a drink just for me (we decided to call it Michelle on the beach). The whole experience was amazing and delicious!! A must try if you are in Miami.

Have been to this chain a few times in Miami and across the U.S it’s mostly all you can eat skewered steak with all different cuts and includes some chicken and pork etc. everything tasted so so great. I just love going here. Great food and super friendly team

My family and I just had lunch at Fogo in Miami Beach, Joanna was wonderful. Great customer service and great attitude. I hope to have her again when we come back to the area.

The food is okay. I’ve been to other fogo’s before and many churascarias in Brasil, so maybe I have a high bar. The meat is on the saltier side. The lamb chops were not great. Service is a bit slow. Spent a lot of time sitting and waiting for the meats to come. The salad bar was good but isn’t the reason I came.

My wife and I were visiting Miami on vacation and wanted something more than just a quick bite — we were looking for a proper, dining experience. Fogo de Chão delivered exactly that. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming yet refined. Our waiter, J.C., made the evening exceptional with his attentive, friendly service and expert recommendations. The food was simply outstanding — perfectly cooked cuts of meat, a fresh and vibrant Market Table, and delicious sides that kept coming until we were completely satisfied. The entire experience felt special, from the pacing of the meal to the quality of the service. It was not just dinner; it was an event, and one that we would gladly repeat. Highly recommended if you’re in Miami and looking for an elevated dining experience with top-notch food and service.

The one dish that stuck out was the salad with mangoes and kale. It was a wonderful marriage of greens with delicious ripe mangoes. The tuna tartar was good, the pasta was just ok, the steak was a tad tough and the key lime could easily have been bought. It’s a delightful restaurant with a roof that retracts. The wait staff was excellent.

Pretty solid- it is a beautiful location and i love going to soho bh in general at all the locations. The service was solid but the servers moved a bit more slowly than i would have liked, i enjoyed my breakfast. The ambiance is very nice, beautiful trees. I would not come here again though lol for the breakfast. Possibly i would try the dinner as it was more focused on the actual italian dishes.

While visiting Miami in in the Fall of 2024, we were looking for a restaurant within walking distance of the Fontainebleau Hotel. Cecconi's came highly recommended. The atmosphere is very classy, the staff is very polite and friendly and the menu had a lot of great options. The food came out quickly and everything we ordered exceed our expectations. The Spaghetti Lobster was a little on the fishy side so maybe a dash of lemon would be a good addition to this option. The Buffalo Pizza was excellent and so was the Rigatoni. I must also mention the food presentation was spot on. The beer selection was limited but that is likely to be expected at an upscale Italian restaurant. PROS - Elegant and upscale atmosphere - Large menu - Great food - Polite and friendly staff CONS - Limited beer selection

Love love love. We have made it an adventure to visit all the Cecconis. This is the best one by far! Check my reviews for New York and London. Seated outside in the courtyard under the warm breezy night sky. Fans going, staff were wonderful, friendly and recommended great dishes. Lovely ambience for dates and get together for larger groups. The food here was well seasoned and not salty like other Cecconis. Meatballs were delicious, beet root salad delicious and fruity fresh. Had rose champagne and a negroni.

We come for dinner and we asked waiter to recommend best dishes. We ordered Vitello Tonato and Burrata Salad and Eggplant Parmesan. All were not fresh and seemed like have been in fridge for a while. We ordered fish which came fully burnt and we returned and soggy mushy for the pasta which was not tasty. Not the standard for Cecconi’s unfortunately. We paid the whopping 600 USD for 2 people for a complete waste of money. Highly not recommended

Loved the bologna pasta! great Job to the kitchen staff! And the Pizza was amazing. The pasta Was truly Tasty to whoever is reading this review I really recommend it if you really love pasta. The Salami Pizza with mushroom was delightful and Keep in mind Is not just an outside pizza its made Italian style. The Croquettes were incredible delicious no words. Ending our Night with an Excellent Pastry Tiramisu. Our waiter was Extremely Nice thank you for always keeping the energy you provide to each Customer I hope the restaurant sees you for the great work you do! P’s “Sannia” Thank you!

We had our Christmas Eve dinner here, and it was truly special. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, especially with the outdoor seating surrounded by trees and twinkling lights—it made the evening even more magical. The food was exceptional; we enjoyed the Branzino with spinach, Risotto Scampi, and Crab Tortellini, all of which were perfectly prepared and full of flavor. Highly recommend this place for a memorable dining experience!

Area 31 has some of the best views in Miami—gorgeous skyline and bay vistas from the terrace make it a must-visit, especially around sunset. The vibe is upscale but relaxed, and the service was attentive. Just a heads-up: it can get pretty windy up there, so hold onto your napkins and maybe skip the hats! Overall, a great spot for drinks or dinner with a view.

The girls bit the town for Area 31 Happy Hour and I am SPEECHLESS!!! The most important detail was the vibes in the atmosphere of the outdoor bar. The DJ was incredible, the drinks were not overpriced during happy hour and the little bites (although definitely little) were DIVINE!!! Do not expect to leave full from these bites. Highly recommend and I will be back!

A fine dining rooftop bar & restaurant. Honestly, the food did not really meet my expectations. However, the waitress was super nice, they even treated us with complimentary champagne. The views were absolutely spectacular, especially at night. I had both breakfast and dinner here, it is quite pricy but overall, I'd say it is definitely worth it.

This place was great. I came here my first time in Miami to experience a place that captured the Miami vibe without any of the Miami sin haha. I ordered eggs benedict and they were quite expensive, but delectable nevertheless. The main reason I came here anyways, food aside, was for the view, which I was not disappointed by. I have attached a few pictures so I will let you be the judge of that. Only criticism is that the parking wasn’t so easy, but definitely would do again.

The food surpassed expectations, very delicious! Only constructive criticism is that the food could have been served hotter and the restaurant lighting could be a bit dimmer to create a more romantic evening vibe. But will come again! Compliments to the staff and chef

small selection of food and nothing special on the menu, the food was not impressive. Atmosphere so amazing, very nice music.

at Area 31! I can’t say enough great things about Area 31 at the EPIC Hotel! The food was absolutely amazing — especially breakfast. Breakfast was so good! They serve fresh juice and authentic Cuban coffee that’s the perfect way to start your morning. Enjoying breakfast on the rooftop with views of downtown Brickell made the experience even better. The service was excellent — the waiters were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. The hostess was also really nice and welcoming. I also loved how beautifully decorated both the restaurant and the hotel are — very chic and stylish, yet relaxed at the same time. Happy hour is another highlight! They offer half-off appetizers and drinks, and the cocktails are delicious. The restaurant is conveniently located close to the pool, so you can even enjoy a margarita while lounging poolside. There’s also a great bar area where you can sip a drink, watch sports, or just hang out. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, happy hour, or a night out, Area 31 has it all — amazing food, great service, beautiful views, and a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend! 🌇🍹🥐

This is one of those Miami Beach restaurants that you have to experience at least once. I'm speaking price aside because you can go out to eat anywhere, and it's overpriced, especially in Miami. However, the food was great, and of course, the presentation went above and beyond. It was a little excessive, but I loved it for a birthday dinner. It is also kid-friendly, and they loved the experience too. Overall, would recommend if you're looking for a fun time for a special occasion!!

Barton G in Miami is a Carnival of Dining Fun. Last Saturday night, with a group of new friends from pompano Beach 🏖️ , we took a stretch limousine 🚙 to South Miami Beach 🏝️ for dinner 🍽️ at Barton G restaurant. If you haven’t been, I encourage you to do so. It’s the most fun you can have sitting around a dinner 🥘 table 🍽️! Our journey down to Miami was filled with wine 🍷 , whiskey 🥃, and laughter 😂 as we got the chance to learn more about each other. I had no idea what the evening would have in store for us, but it was an entertaining circus 🎪 experience you can never forget! The way in which they present the specialty foods and drinks 🥤 🍹 is truly remarkable. The popcorn shrimp 🍤 was served to the table in a mini popcorn 🍿 machine. The lobster 🦞 pop tarts were served to the table in a toaster. ( you get the idea 💡. lol). I’m not going to go into describing all the dishes, but look at the pics below if you want to smile 😀 & laugh 😂. One last shout out. I want to thank our new 🆕 friends for coordinating and sponsoring this wonderful dinner. 🍲. Thank you 🙏 so much.

Visited last Thursday for my daughter’s birthday. It’s definitely not a regular dining spot—more about the experience and your pockets. You can’t even order a regular drink like sweet tea or soda—everything is a “performance.” I wasn’t in the mood for a cocktail, so Mike talked me in to getting a strawberry lemonade for $22, served in a martini glass when I just wanted something simple. Mike was our server. The wait for food was long, and another table that came after us got their meals first. Once the food arrived, it did taste good. Prices start at $28, everything is à la carte. Valet parking was $25, and street parking was hard to find. The vibe is similar to a place in Charlotte (Deluxe Fun Dining), but that one was a much better experience. Not sure I’d go back—maybe earlier in the day for hopefully better service.

We did an end of year dinner for work. We had a blast. Everyone was so accommodating even after they closed. They did not rush us out of there. It was definitely a great experience. I definitely would go back

Barton G. was an incredible dining experience! The presentation of the food was absolutely stunning, making every dish feel like a work of art. The flavors were just as impressive delicious and well-balanced. The service was top notch, with attentive and friendly staff who made the evening even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was vibrant and unique, adding to the overall fun and upscale experience. Definitely a must

⭐ 1-Star Review for Barton G. Miami Beach (Visit: May 3rd) I would never, ever return to this restaurant — and I want others to know just how bad the service was. We came on May 3rd with a group of 12 and spent over $3,800 expecting a great experience. The theme and presentation were impressive, but the service was truly awful. After dinner, we ordered several desserts including a cake, which the waiter sliced and served — and three guests found hair in the cake. The waiter witnessed it himself and confirmed it. We asked for a manager, and she didn’t show up for over 35 minutes. When she finally arrived, instead of taking it seriously, she dismissively asked, “Where’s the hair?” — like we’d still be holding onto it. Even with the waiter backing us up, she refused to comp the cake or take any responsibility. A small gesture like that would have meant something, especially considering how much we spent. The way we were treated was rude, careless, and unprofessional. If this is how they handle customer concerns, I strongly suggest you spend your money elsewhere. Barton G. is all show, with no substance when it really matters.

This restaurant is one the best experiences I had in Miami and Miami is my second home . The Food presentation spoke for its self . Every food in the menu has a presentation which I think it’s so amazing . The dining experience was amazing the food was phenomenal 10/10 everything was good . From the appetizers to the meal . The drinks had presentations as ( I included in the pictures) . Everyone that comes to Miami deserves to experience Barton G

Thanksgiving at Truluck’s Brickell = Perfect Decision! I didn’t have to cook. I didn’t have to clean. Just showed up, relaxed, and had a glass (or two) of wine. The Thanksgiving dinner at Truluck’s was absolutely delicious—every bite was thoughtfully prepared, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. The atmosphere was elegant yet cozy, the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality, and best of all… no dishes to wash! 🙌 To all my fellow moms—treat yourself this coming season. Skip the stress and enjoy the holiday for you. I’m so glad I did! Will do it again this Thanksgiving!

Shoutout to Leo our server! He went above and beyond. We celebrated my birthday with family from abroad and couldn’t have chosen a better place to do it. Food was amazing. The ambience is lovely. Carrot cake is out of this world, Leo was right 🤣🙌🏻 I must say, All the staff was super friendly and attentive. We left super happy!

Very old school place, and it is better for it. Food is good but fairly simple. Lobster bisque was absolutely delicious. Ambiance is nice, quite formal, with live flowers on each table as a sweet touch. Oh desert portions are huge! The chocolate cake and carrot cake both really good and very rich. Service is great. Very good option in Brickell

What a great Birthday experience , once an again. Glad to see Jason, the Manager was there just like last year and great. My server Ramon was exceptional. Superb service , knew all the items. , outstanding is an understatement .. the food was magnificent.. the broiled salmon perfect and potatoes. Wow. Now for my bday dessert flawless and the wine. Please keep up the good work. You made my birthday Awesome. ❤️🙏

We had a celebration and decided to try Trulucks and their Miami Spice menu. The menu had a very good selection and the Miami Spice gave a us a great price for the food. Service was great and the food was good. I have to admit the best part was the dessert and the Carrot 🥕cake was delicious and the star 🌟 of the night!

went for Miami spice dinner 3 course meal for $60 very generous and tasty portions including lobster bisque, filet mignon & huge portion of carrot cake. service was so friendly and accommodating. they even validate parking! they also have a great lunch special and happy hour.

The food here was delicious! The cocktails are yummy, the food comes in a timely fashion, and the ambiance is candlelit and romantic. The food was delicious; I love the branzino. Our waiter was very friendly and their recommendations were all spot on!

It's a 3.5-star place. You can sit outside at the deck to see boats coming home. Good environment, good vibe, good dish decorations, good food, and good services. HOWEVER, the meal took too long to be brought out, and they're at room temperature. It's not good to eat seafood at dishes at room temperatures. They also charge you the processing fee for paying with a credit card. The dishes are at premium price, and the owner still imposes the credit card fees on the customers. Someone is very stingy here.

Always wanted to come to Garcia's and tonight turn out to be thr night. Love the place. Market place on thr first floor, restaurant on thr second. Casual but trendy. Super full but was seated within minutes. Super attentive staff. We ate lobster bisque, 2 different kinds of raw oysters and lobster Mac and cheese. My friend had white wine, I had the lychee martini. Was so so good and fresh. I have always known of Garcia's. They were a client of mine when I work for incredible fish. I am so glad I came. I will be back again.

Love Gracias fried jumbo shrimp. They’re juicy and deliciously seasoned. They give you 5 but I can eat a bucket of them. We loved the snapper filet with rice and French fries. The fries are usually stale so it’s best to request fresh. Lychee Martini is a must. Cheesecake is yummy. Servers are sweet and attentive…. Outside can be cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing, but its surrounding areas are nice for a stroll after dinner and fun to watch all the boats sail by and catch the sunset. You can valet or try and find street parking for a fee

Garcia's is a well-known Miami spot with a market vibe downstairs and a restaurant upstairs. I've visited before without being overly impressed but enjoyed the Blackened Dolphin this time, it was well-cooked with good service. Overall, I consider it a decent place for seafood. If you need further analysis or specific details, let me know!

Garcia’s is one of those spots in Miami where the view and the food are both memorable. Sitting right on the river, you get an unbeatable waterfront setting — boats gliding by, a cool breeze, and a laid-back, old-school Miami vibe that’s hard to find these days. The service was genuinely warm and attentive, with staff who clearly know the menu and make you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first time. Everything came out quickly and with a smile, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The seafood is fresh and flavorful — nothing too fussy, just quality ingredients done right. If you’re looking for a relaxed, no-frills place with great service and great views , Garcia’s delivers.

Very good seafood restaurant with a nice view of the miami river's yacht seen. We arrived close to sundown on a Sunday and there was plenty of inside and outside seating. Based on availability, you can choose outside or inside if it's too hot out. At sundown it started getting full, really quick! Food was very good but on the pricier side, still worth it with the views. Menu had a decent variety. Instead of 10$-20$ valet plus tip we did the street parking right across from Garcias at about 2-3$ per hour on app.

We have been to Garcia's many times for lunch. It has always been good food and friendly service. I love that it is a casual place with lots of character in their decor as well as being situated right on the Miami River. We love watching all the boats and yachts sail by. There are 2 floors here. The first floor has their Fish Market, where you can buy fresh seafood and find some seating. The second floor is the dining area and the bathrooms. Also a great view of all the boats on the river. There are stairs to go up and also an elevator. Garcia's is a family owned business and they take pride in selling only the freshest and best seafood. That's why they have been in business for years at this location. We ordered Grilled Jumbo Shrimp, Grilled Salmon, mashed potatoes and veggies (carrots and zucchini), plus the Hot honey cheesecake. Everything tasted so good! We had house water with our food. We relaxed and enjoyed the vibe. We look forward to our next visit here. Service was great. Our server was Loidel and was attentive and friendly. Parking is by valet or street parking.

I planned a quick 3 night getaway in Miami for my husbands birthday weekend celebration, and Mila was one of three restaurants we visited during our stay. Out of the three, Mila was my favorite! I made a reservation several days prior, and when we arrived, we were seated promptly. It was completely packed on a Sunday night, but the service received was on point. Our waiter was very courteous, accommodating and checked in with us quite frequently. The service was good and the food was even better. We sat outside and had front row seats for the entertainment. The aesthetics of this restaurant gives such a peaceful vibe. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone celebrating a special occasion or just wanting to enjoy dinner in a peaceful setting.

Mila has Halal Steaks & a clear gluten free distinction! Able to order something for everyone. Food was rich and flavorful. We had dinner late at night, so the atmosphere was definitely more party/club vibes than nice dinner restaurant. Other than that, the food was great. Alfredo pasta was extremely rich and beef steak tender.

Mallory was amazing! I got a bar seat in front of the service well for a solo dining experience and she steered me in all the right directions with food and a mocktail. 10/10 experience. Would come back just to yap with her!!!!

Our time at MILA was absolutely amazing. The food was fantastic and our server Mike made our experience incredibly phenomenal…his recommendations on the menu as well the cocktails were top notch. Everything we had was 5 star! Our favorite dish was the sea bass, but everything from the decor, to the drinks to the food deserves 100 stars. By far the sexiest restaurant I’ve ever been to. Don’t hesitate, make a reservation and dress accordingly. You won’t regret it!

Joseph was amazing. He was our server ask for him. Dino, the manager was also amazing. He was attentive and checked on our table twice! Both friendly, with great hospitality. The food here is top three restaurants to me in the US. We’ve traveled a lot and this is one of the best places. The food, the service, the ambiance. All of it is incredible. Perfect for special occasions, date night, birthdays, and more!

If you are looking for a fun place to celebrate an occasion, or to have an amazing time, MILA in Miami Beach is an incredible mix of stylish fine dining and entertainment! I have been here twice for dinner and both times were AMAZING. The place is so beautiful, especially in the outside area; the fire show adds so much excitement, and the atmosphere feels unforgettable. The drinks are creative and delicious, and the food is outstanding. I especially loved the mushroom risotto and the truffle pasta which were absolutely perfect. This is one of the best spots in Miami Beach for a memorable night out with amazing food, cocktails, and entertainment all in one place. Totally Recomended.

We chose Mila for our anniversary and loved everything from food to service. We tried caviar potato millefuelle, gyoza, spicy hamachi and spicy tuna. Everything was amazing, especially the sushi!! Highly recommend. Our server Andy was the sweetest, great with suggestions and offered us champaign and ice-cream for our anniversary which was so kind. Definitely will come back to Mila next time we’re in Miami.
