The 46 best spots for Cuban sandwiches in Miami

​Well, I finally got to visit this restaurant. I was in town for work and this place was highly recommended by multiple people. I wanted to have the entire sit down experience, but the place was packed! The ambiance was good and it felt like you were at a family reunion. I ended up ordering a Cuban Sandwich from the takeout window, since the wait time was going to be a bit long and I was in a hurry. 5 Minutes later, I got my sandwich, handed over by the owner. I told her it was my first day at her establishment. She welcomed me and hoped I liked the food and to come back when in town. She was super nice and humble. No wonder she is like a legend in the area. The sub was delicious. It had the perfect balance of ingredients and the bread was super fresh and crispy. I will definitely go back when in town. I was told the pan con bistec was fantastic and the ropa vieja was outstanding. Heck, I might try both!

As always Enriquetas does not disappoint. Good service, and thankfully we found a seat in the breakfast bar area. Quick service. We had a shot of espresso and for breakfast an egg sandwhich and turkey sandwhich. I had totally forgotten how big they are. Highly recommend you arrive before 11am as the pricing changes.

Amazing diner that offers one of the best Cuban sandwiches you can find in their Double Cuban! Stacked high with a chopped pulled pork. It is very big and can easily be shared if you do not have a large appetite. It is so delicious, that it is crave worthy. Staff is very nice, attentive, and the atmosphere is casual. Would definitely recommend and visit every time in Miami!

The best Cuban sandwich ever!! Get the Cubano Doble sandwich. The owner and staff were lovely.

Simple, no nonsense and tasty food. Something that’s quite frankly in short supply these days. Better than 99% of all the “Chef tables” you’ll find in this city. And much much cheaper.

Cuban soul food for the soul is on the menu at the family restaurant que tienen el sabor. The breakfast special is completo, the Bistec a Caballo (eggs on horseback - palomilla steak with onions, grilled ham and lime) with fries is fantastic! Sandwiches are a can't miss, including one of Miami's best Pan con bistec (steak sandwiches) and the Pan Enriqueta, una tortilla encebollado (an onion omelette) con queso suizo, jamón, tomate y bacon (Swiss cheese, ham, tomato and bacon) which is a VERY filling option. Lunch specials are can't miss classic prepared Cuban lunch-dinner items. Only open Monday. Thru Sat. for breakfast and lunch, so don't try to brunch this spot.

If you're looking for a true taste of Cuba, this restaurant is an absolute gem. The flavors are rich, the portions are generous, and every dish feels like a homemade meal straight from Havana. From the perfectly seasoned ropa vieja to the crispy, golden tostones, everything is prepared with love and attention to detail. What makes this place even more special is the owner Enriqueta an incredibly kind and welcoming woman who treats every guest like family. Her warmth and hospitality make the dining experience feel even more authentic. Whether you're a Cuban food enthusiast or trying it for the first time, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Been here Twice so far for Bruch and there sandwiches don't miss. The Media Noche and the Calle Ocho hit every time. The café Cubano is on point. Juices are fresh. Chill atmosphere with the locals. Prices were right on.

I can only say spectacular, the best Cuban food I’ve ever had at an amazing price. If you have the chance, try it. The coffee is out of this world

As always the food was delicious! Service was very fast! Looks a little old and worn but somehow it’s part of the charm. We had bistec empanisado, media noche and croqueta preparada. The Cuban coffee is always a must! I highly recommend visiting.

La Carreta Miami is a true gem! The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The food was absolutely delicious—comforting, flavorful, and exactly what we needed after a long day out in the sun and water. They offer a wide variety of dishes and sides, and everything tasted like it was made with care and love. A must-visit for anyone craving authentic, satisfying Cuban food!

Staff is very friendly and nice, they will give you great recommendations. The food was okay, nothing extraordinary, except for the lamb that was excellent according to my husband. Service is a bit slow, but nothing crazy. My children got the chicken breast and said they liked it. We had a good time.

I’ve been coming to La Carreta since I was a kid with my parents, and now I get to bring my own kids here. The food is always amazing and authentic, and the service is top-notch every single time. This place truly captures the authentic Cuban experience. I absolutely love it here!

La Carreta in Little Havana 🇨🇺 is a must-visit! The Cuban sandwich 🥪 is perfectly pressed, the black beans & rice 🍚 are full of flavor, & the flank steak 🥩 is tender & seasoned just right. Authentic taste, great vibes, & fast service—highly recommend! 🌟

We loved Las Olas Cafe! Authentic Cuban food, amazing prices, and super friendly service. We ate here two days in a row and were more than happy both times. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. They also have this spicy sauce—kind of like a salsa—that's absolutely delicious! Definitely a must-visit if you're in the area.

I got the breakfast combo. Which I read as you get salad with Sandwich of a choice of Turkey or Veg, but my sandwich has nothing but butter. And lil bits of Turkey seemed mixed in over cooked eggs. And filled with chips. This really wasn't what I expected for a Turkey sandwich with eggs.

A great Cuban sandwich. A really great place. Super convenient location blocks away from center south beach. It’s a nice convenient place. Interior is a bit dirty. But it has some charm. I’ll definitely comeback. A very tasty Cuban sandwich.

The service was good, the fresh juice was good, the empanadas were delicious.... their sandwiches (especially the Cuban one) was only okay. They also cut it lengthwise, which made it kind of hard to eat that way.

I cannot say enough about Las Olas Cafe. They have the best chicken sandwich in the entire world. No, for real. We stayed in South Beach for 8 days and I ate 10 sandwiches. Literally ordered two sometimes. Got off the plane, into an Uber, dropped luggage 2 blocks away, LAS OLAS O'CLOCK. They're THAT good. They grill the chicken + onions to order, so expect to wait ~10 minutes for sammies, but you can't rush perfection. Lettuce, tomato, mayo, potato sticks... I'm drooling writing this. Get a chicken or steak sandwich and prepare for greatness. Sit inside, outside, or take it to go and picnic at South Pointe or Ocean Drive. I hope they are open forever and ever!!!

Great neighborhood Cuban cafe for the locals! Of course had to venture out just a little bit to visit and the food had that taste from home. Packed w/ locals and a few tourists, the breakfast combo I ordered was generous with fluffy eggs. I ordered ham and paid $2.60 extra to add veggies (tomato, onion, and green pepper). Initially it was a bit confusing why this is extra, but it made sense when thinking about Cuban food which generally doesn’t have this kind of veggies. And it comes with coffee by which they mean espresso, but I changed it to Cortadito because I love me some Smokey bold Cuban Cortadito! It was strong in the best way, and fragrant. Add un poco de azúcar and you’re off to the races! Wife commented her croissant was much better than more expensive bakery we went to the prior day, and iced coffee wasn’t too watered down (ask for little ice and sugar) like most iced coffees we’ve had in Latino cafes so far. Outside seating was pleasant though you may have local uncles smoking a pack at the next table but wasn’t bad w/ the breeze & shade. Don’t waste your money going to $20/meal cafes closer to ocean drive… just walk a block to here and enjoy better food at better price + mingle w/ locals.

Small casual place. Not only they sell Cuban food but also different types of Latin traditional food i.e. Argentinian, Colombian, Puerto Rican, etc. We ordered a Venezuelan combo and it was GOOD, fully recommended! They a have a great Venezuelan pabellon. The maracuya or passion fruit juice was bomb. The tres leches cake was perfect. We spent $65 tip included, a good price for South beach.

The Cubano sandwich was really good, especially paired with a cafecito, and the croquetas were tasty too. This is more of an in-and-out spot—it’s very small and gets super crowded, so ordering to go is probably the best option. Prices are on the higher side, and I was a little disappointed they didn’t have pan con bistec since I was dying to try it. Staff were friendly and quick.

Easily the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had in my life! Media Noche was my favorite. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Proportion of fillings was perfect and flavorful. Mamey shake was also delicious. Flan cake was a great dessert. Service was friendly, and prices were reasonable. I'll definitely be back!

If you want to try a cuban sandwich in Miami, THIS is the place to go. We tried the original cubano and the croquetta preparada for lunch - we liked this croquetta preparada so much, we got another one for dinner. This shop is small, but constantly busy. Try to come in before the lunch rush around 11 am if you plan to sit and dine in the restaurant. They also have a location in Bayside marketplace, which is even smaller. Their side sauce is a garlicky sauce which was tasty. They have batidos (milkshakes) with unique flavors. The timba flavor is a guava and cheese shake that encompasses the flavor of a typical guava and cheese empanada/roll. The trigo is a cereal-milk type milkshake that has the taste of the UK cereal Weetabix - it is slightly nutty and oaty and not too sweet. We got the milkshakes to go for a car ride, and it was a good car snack.

We went on a weekday around 12pm for lunch, the small restaurant soon became so packed after we sat down. Food wise we got the famous Cuban sandwich ($15 ish), we were not impressed at all, it just tasted like a normal ham and cheese sandwich with pickles and mustard really, so we didn’t understand what the hype was about. A plus is the toilet was really spacious and clean.

I had a cubano and the fries. My husband got the pan con lichon. Both sandwiches were so yummy!! It's a small cozy spot with clean restrooms. It was non stop busy, but the wait wasn't long at all.

I would say the hype is real, but I wouldn’t agree that it’s worth it. We waited outside for over 30 minutes in a huge line, and while I still thought the food was great, it didn’t fully live up to the buzz. Their Cuban milkshakes were (batido de mango y batido de mamey) amazing, the ham croquetas were good, and their sandwiches were also great. However, among all the Miami sandwich spots with Michelin Bib Gourmand awards, this is one of them, but IMHO I think Tinta y Cafe has the edge when it comes to the best sandwich.

A good sandwich with a nice crunch. The flavors were on point. I guess I was probably just expecting something different than a traditional Cuban.I’ve been to other restaurants and had their Cuban sandwiches. Sometimes it’s hit or miss. For the most part. It’s a hit at around $10 from the two other restaurants I’ve been at. I understand the process This restaurant goes through with their meats, condiments & seasoning. I’m happy with the sandwich & would like to try the media noche next

Without a doubt, Tinta Y Cafe has some of the best sandwiches and coffee in all of Miami. If not the best, they are easily in the top three for sure. Their ham croquetas are made in-house and have a unique flavor unlike any others. The El Madurito sandwich was incredible. I've never tasted anything like it before. What an amazing sandwich! Whenever we're in Miami, this place is now our go-to spot and a must-visit. There's a reason they have earned and maintained a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and you can taste why with every bite. Simply amazing.

This Michelin-starred restaurant is a must-visit for foodies and coffee enthusiasts alike! The food and coffee were simply exceptional. I was delighted to have chosen this place for my coffee tour, and the staff went above and beyond to make my experience even more enjoyable. They were not only friendly but also provided valuable recommendations for other coffee spots in the area. If you’re ever in Coral Gables, be sure to make a stop at this gem!

Food is consistent and delicious. I’m not a fan of the plantain chips. The wait for about 15 minutes. The service is 11/10 they make sure you are always good and keep water in your cup. Small spaces to sit and eat uncomfortable for a big guy like me. They hardly ever have pasteles made they only had cheese left but they were delicious as usual just a lil cold.

My fiancé and I recently went here, and we LOVED IT!!! We thought the vibes were amazing and tbh the prices were pretty good too. We moved to Miami from LA about a year ago, and LA has a big cozy coffee shop culture where you can sit down and work for hours at a cafe. We’ve been struggling to find places like that in Miami. And even though I don’t think you can pull hours of work at Tinta y Cafe, it definitely feels as cozy as the ones we used to go to in LA.

Nothing here is Cuban. It's more geared towards American Coffee. Everyone was nice and place is very small don't expect to bring the family, there isn't much room for more then a Family of 4 maybe 5. O

Stopped here on my last day in town and wish it had been the first. The coffee was great, the food was great, and whoever decided to give you water while you wait…. We thank you. Got the Nutella croissant, and the Cuban they were 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I got here about 7 minutes before it was open. I stood at the window where there was an employee drinking coffee and chatting with another employee a third employee would come in and out. I stood there and waited my turn there was a sign that said they closed the windows sometimes to conserve air conditioner so I figured that they were conserving air conditioner. I continued waiting and thought it was odd that on occasion they would grind stuff and see me so they knew I was there but they wouldn't acknowledge me in any other way. I continued waiting and other customers started arriving. At that point I realized something was wrong. I knocked on the window and gestures the universal raised shoulders and palms facing up" what's going on?" The other customer started mouthing at what time do you open are you closed? It was only then that we got a hand sign telling us they would open in 7 minutes. When they did open I mentioned it would have been nice for them to let me know they were closed. Play ignored that took my order and went on to the next customer who was addressed multiple times as "bro". So yes customer service is awful. As far as the coffee goes, I could tell it was high quality beans but sadly it was burned as it was brewed and served excessively hot. Gourmet or even cheap coffee should never be burned. Coffee should never be brewed over 205 ° and for drinking over 150° will burn your tongue. The place could be very successful with just a little bit of attention to polite customer service and lowering the temperature of that water for your americanos.

Food was amazing. Great combination flavouring. Service by Liz was top notch. Most importantly, atmosphere was superb. Not too many movement and calm with great music.

The food was delicious and full of flavor, and the place has such a cool vibe — lively music, great atmosphere, and nice decor. The staff were friendly and service was quick even though it was busy. It’s a great spot to enjoy good food and people-watch right on Ocean Drive. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Miami Beach!

All I can say is wow!! I was blown away by the place . Starting with the amazing customer service from Lulu. Lulu was so friendly and made the stay even extra special. My phone battery was dead, as I dined and enjoyed the amazing music Lulu found a charger for me to charge my phone while I dined. The music was amazing!! All of my favorite songs. It took me back to old Havana. I only planned to stay for a few songs but decided to stay the entire show. It starts at 8pm, I suggest getting there 7-7:30 to feet good seats. The band was fire!! Beautiful vocals and accompanying sound. It’s a chill vibe, classy and great atmosphere.

Lulú was a par with service and attentiveness. The appetizer, empanadas were delicious as were our main course meals. Cocktails were fabulous!

Great food. I had the Cuban and a mojito. Both were wonderful. Everyone at the table loved their food. Our waitress was wonderful. She explained everything including how they marinated the meat.

Food and atmosphere were amazing! Got the chicken soup and Ropa Vieja, very tasteful and good flavor. Patricia was our server and she was very attentive and sweet. Would recommend this place and I would come back!

Our server, Kate, was terrific! The mojitos were excellent and the food was delicious…the portions are extremely generous too. A fun atmosphere and a beautiful view from the patio.

Off Site Kitchen is a gem! The wings were absolutely delicious, crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I also tried the Guava Waves beer and it was just as amazing, refreshing and full of flavor. From the moment I walked in I felt so welcome. Talking with Theo, the owner, made the experience even better. He is genuinely warm and passionate about what he does. I will definitely be back!

OFF SITE Brewery is a gem in Little River. The food hits the spot and the craft brews are top-notch—fresh, flavorful, and balanced. Cool vibe, friendly staff, and a great place to unwind with a good beer and friends.

The consensus on table was that the beers were delicious. The burger was presented very plain, but it was delicious. The hot dog was alright, it was a bit burnt. the seasoning and mustard combo was a little odd. When we came to this place it was quiet.

Came down from GA and heard all the hype about No Seasons — had to check it out. The Guava Waves was amazing and paired perfectly with the food. The fried chicken sandwich was juicy and delicious, and the wings with the in-house sweet & sticky BBQ and homemade blue cheese were next-level. Even tried the corn dog — what a fun surprise! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and it really lives up to their motto: People and Beer. We felt genuinely welcomed. Some places are just special, and this is one of them.

Great food, great beer, great scene, and amazing people! We absolutely love this place! Honestly even if the people sucked and the vibe was so-so we would still show up for the food and booze. We’ve tried everything on the menu but the Cuban sandwich which apparently is their #1 so we can only imagine how good it is. Once we try we will update this review and add more pics but this review was long overdue so we had to drop it now. ——————- Addition: Food drops just keep on delivering the yum. STL Style Ribs + Club Sandwich = :)

Great nano brewery. I tried a beer (Coco Sanchez) they had that was clear but with high alcohol - 10% it was my favorite and every one who tries it that loves beer would probably agree. Its dangerously delicious! Such a great brewery and the staff are chill and very nice.

Such a cute little place with super delicious food. There’s public parking in the back (not free) but plenty of spots. The fried chicken sandwich and cheeseburger was my favorite. They also had “zero proof” (non alcoholic) drink options that were refreshing and nice option to have. The seating inside is limited but they do have a bar seating area and picnic style tables outside. The place is super trendy and staff is very nice. Highly recommend for a casual delish lunch!

We just had the best meal here. Jorge was the most excellent server ever. He was very attentive and made thoughtful and helpful suggestions for drink, meal, and dessert options. The stuffed chicken with Moro rice and plantains was fantastic. The vaca frita empanadas were chef’s kiss. It was extremely difficult to pick a dessert with all the delectable options, but the coconut bread pudding with ice cream was amazing. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time at Havana Harry’s. The food was sensational, the portion sizes were huge! The service with Darien was absolutely on point, and he was so helpful and friendly. I heartily recommend Havana Harry’s! Try the guava cheesecake overload!

AMAZING! We were group of 15 and this place was smooth and easy breezy handling big groups!! Lorena was fabulous and so patient with us! Food was fantastic, all of us were very happy with our meal choices and all around same sentiment as we can’t wait to come back. My red snapper and mashed potatoes were eooo good and the guava cheesecake and guava tree leches as well

We drove from Texas to eat here! We used to come eat here when we lived in Fort Lauderdale. We are back for business and barely got into town before we drove down. The food is unmatched. The atmosphere so lovely! The service is perfection!

We ate at Havana Harry's and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was vibrant, the service was fast, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our server, Harry, was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and made our meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place 100%!

We had an amazing meal at Havana Harry’s! The beef Milanese was perfectly cooked and flavorful, served with classic white rice, creamy black beans, and sweet plantains. The spicy mango margarita was the perfect balance of sweet and heat absolutely delicious. To end the right way, the desserts were outstanding! The guava cheesecake was rich and creamy, and the flan tres leches was moist and silky. A must visit for anyone craving authentic Cuban flavors

What a great restaurant where customer service is a top priority. Our waiter Jose P. had many recommendations and my mushroom chicken Milanese was amazing. Portions are large and shareable. I highly recommend you come and don’t be intimidated by the desserts treat yourself!

Good food and good service. I don't recommend the fish soup, it tastes good but has way too much salt. You can get a completa for about $15 or just the main course for $10. They also have Cuban pizza. Outdoor seating only, under a tarp. Informal dining and atmosphere.

What does it feel like to be in a place that doesn’t even feel like the United States? That’s exactly what I experienced during my vacation in South Florida, when I decided to look for some authentic Cuban food in Miami. I plugged the address into the GPS and arrived at this spot... At first glance, the area looked pretty rough — kind of run-down, definitely low-income, and honestly, it felt like I had stepped into a totally different world. And the funny part? Nobody spoke English. Everything was in Spanish — which actually made it feel like I had left the country and landed right in the heart of Havana. But the real surprise came when I stepped inside. The smell hit me right away — in the best way possible. It was incredible. It instantly reminded me of home-cooked meals made with love and tradition. All the food was already prepared and ready to go. I ordered the oxtail, and wow… it was amazing. The flavor, the seasoning, the tenderness — everything was on point. So yeah, maybe from the outside the place doesn’t look like much, but once you’re in, it’s like stepping into a living, breathing piece of Cuba. If you’re looking for real Cuban food, this place will blow your mind

El Palacio de los Jugos on Flagler Street is an absolute must-visit when in Miami. Just minutes from the airport, this landmark location serves up some of the freshest and most authentic Cuban cuisine in the city. The food is incredible — always hot, fresh, and constantly coming out, ensuring there’s always something delicious ready to enjoy. From the perfectly seasoned meats to the vibrant sides and, of course, the fresh juices, everything bursts with flavor and Miami soul. It’s a lively spot full of energy, locals, and travelers alike — the true essence of Cuban hospitality. Whether you’re flying in, flying out, or just hungry for a real Miami experience, El Palacio de los Jugos is the place to be! 🇨🇺🥤🍽️

The best breakfast in town. Just $5. It’s amazing. 3 eggs with ham in any modality, French fries, beacon, a toast with butter, milk with coffee or a “colada”- espresso, or soda or water. Huge amounts, Great quality. I’m really happy and satisfied.

I love this place it's awesome!! it can be busy at times and it can be hard to order if you don't speak Spanish. But the option and the selections of Cuban food you have are endless! I come here every year when I visit Miami and every year I've tried something new. Only reason for 4 and not 5 stars is workers can be rude sometimes other then that 100% recommend!

I had the pan con lechon it was delicious. It was a little bit salty but I ate it anyway I ordered watermelon and passion fruit juice was delicious the selection and variety of food is amazing and it is a value.

Food is always fresh and the staff is nice. Huhe variety of Cuban delicacies, meats, seafood, fruits, juices, desserts, and more.

I stopped in to have lunch with my dad and despite the ugly weather outside, they were very well organized. My server was Joel A very nice man that gave wonderful service had total knowledge of the menu and offered good recommendations. I have eaten here before and been served on by Joel as well and both times I had excellent service. The food came out promptly and everything was delicious. I highly recommend anyone to come here and have a lovely authentic Cuban dish.

Sergio's Restaurant is Miami!! This charming Cuban restaurant has an authentic menu. You can have abuela's food anytime here. The flavors are definitely not a franchise. They even have a skinny menu that tastes delicious. Everything is fresh. Arisleny was out amazing server. She is super sweet, and she knowss the Menu well. Offered to take our pictures and video so we have memories of our dining experience. We last attended during their 50th Anniversary. Menu prices matched back from when they first opened in 1975. The event was celebrated by Patriants alike and city officials. We were inspired to toast with Champagne! On Fridays their soup special is Lentils and they have Crema de Malanga in a daily. This place is rated 5 stars, but I GIVE THEM A 10 OUT 10!!!

we came on the 50th anniversary of Sergio‘s, a lot of people are winning in line and it was very unorganized until I have to admit that maria Maria Hernandez came in and they asked her to sub for the hostess with another girl and she immediately checked all the tables mobilized. Everyone was very courteous and all of a sudden the line went down. I am not saying that the line was ended, but I’m saying she She got things flowing and was very courteous so she ease the tension and she’s very very nice. At the same time there was another girl with her working there her name is. cheimy Super Sweet todo bien mi amor todo bien todo bien jaime Was the hostess and she did her role as well. Super super satisfying.

How many compliments that I can say from this amazing restaurant of 1 to 10 I give 20. Delicious food with an amazing taste and the delicious desserts throughout the drinks. An excellent customer service experience with Juan Carlos very nice attitude and good service. I recommend this restaurant for everyone who is craving for a good cuban food. Thank you for the highly detailed attention and delicious meals !!!!

Friendly staff , clean place , quick service , easy access , All the food in this place is fresh and very delicious 👌 I had the pleasure of talking to the manager and he is a very professional and respectful person. 👍

Rigoberto was fantastic at the bar! Great drinks and perfect food suggestions. Loved my meal here.

Juan Carlos was totally awesome. His service and attention to detail were perfect. Sergio's is always great, with a fantastic vibe and delicious Cuban food. I totally recommend it!

Really cool spot tucked away in Little Havana.. away from the Main Street. Outdoor patio area was a REALLY pleasant surprise to the unsuspecting eye. Awesome vibes, very lush, vibrant.. perfect for enjoying your meal in a chill + fun setting The stand out for us was the Fresh Florida Mahi. Perfectly prepared.. the mahi comes atop a flavorful maduro (to die for) all laden with a rich, creamy coconut ahi cream.. paired with jasmine rice and a bit of a side salad Goat cheese croquetas were good. Was cool to try them with the guava marmalade If you like tuna crispy rice, should suggest trying the Ahi Tuna Poppers. Bit of a Cuban take to this asian treat.. not bad. But nothing to write home about Service was great.. entire team was attentive and welcoming

Wife and I have had this spot on our list since we moved here back in October. The food did not disappoint! I had the ropa vieja. Was one of the best versions of this dish I’ve had in south Florida yet. Wife got the arroz imperial which was also phenomenal. Finished up with cortaditos and a piece of the tres leches cake which were both also delicious. Food, atmosphere all top notch. My one complain was our server was not the most attentive. We had 2 drinks, 2 entres, coffee and desert and were there for like over 2 hours. We saw people with other servers that were seated after us that were leaving before our entree dishes had even been cleared. We each got water that was never refilled (and not even asked if we wanted refills). Our empty cocktail glasses sat there until well after we were done eating. So 5 stars across the board aside from our server. Would still go back though, as the food was amazing.

Incredible food, Cuban approved! All the twists and turns on the traditional dishes from the vaca frita tostones to the masitas de puerco frito en arroz frito. All the flavors were 10/10, so perfectly cooked, we also shared the arroz imperial which was packed with flavor and didn’t even have meat! Definitely coming back on my next visit to see how they’ve evolved the menu!

Food was exceptional! We had ropa vieja, arroz imperial cubano with fried egg, and coconut tres leches for dessert. For drinks we had passion fruit lemonade and a mojito. The food was delicious, and the drinks were refreshing and well made. Service was just okay. Our server was particularly slow - other tables came in, ate, paid, and left in the time it took us to receive our food. Drinks weren’t refilled or offered again; and time between sitting, ordering drinks, ordering food, etc was forever. Seeing other tables though, I don’t think it’s an issue with the restaurant but with the individual server. We weren’t in a rush so it was fine, but not ideal. Overall still recommend because the food was so good. We’ll definitely be back.

Great place to eat after a Marlin’s game. Food and drinks here are really good. Atmosphere is great especially in the back patio. Live music is entertaining and authentic. Music isn’t too loud but I would avoid sitting in the center if you have sensitive ears. This place has high powered ceiling fans outside and the bathrooms are decent.

We spent the day exploring Little Havana and stopped by Doce for lunch. It’s a bit off the Main Street, but we loved their outdoor patio. We started with the croquetas and then had the Little Bird Fried Chicken and the tostones. Yum!

Walking in my party was immediately greeted by our server. They sat us quickly and we had our food ordered and delivered within 30-ish minutes. The severs were attentive without being overbearing. The Pollo A La Plancha was so good I nearly cried. The food is well worth the price in portion size alone. I'm going to DREAM about that chicken. 20/10 would eat here everyday if I was local.

Sometimes the instagram famous places live up to hype. And Chug’s definitely does!!! The big pancake s NOT just a gimmick. It is one of the best pancakes I’ve ever had! We also had the lechon hash, and amazing cafe con leche and cortadito. Will be back! Special thanks to our wonderful hostess Natalie!!

I’ve been wanting to check out Chug’s Diner for a long time, and it definitely did not disappoint! The menu truly has something for everyone, from classic Cuban favorites to creative comfort food. There were so many highlights, but I especially loved their different croquetas (each one packed with flavor) and the frita, which was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. They even offered my dog a bowl of water, which was very thoughtful! There are still so many things on the menu I’m excited to try, especially their famous pancakes, so I’ll definitely be back soon. Chug’s lives up to the hype and then some. Highly recommend!

Chug's Diner is a very popular spot located in Coconut Grove. They offer both indoor and patio dining. They offer a variety chef chef-inspired diner options. They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also stay open late. It's a great place for a visitor to Miami to try to get the feel of a true Miami experience.

This is an amazing diner. The food is excellent and the service staff go out of their way to be helpful. The 2 ladies that served us, Megan and Telly even tried to help us with the car park payment. If you are in the area, this place is a must. The cast iron pancake is seriously delicious but it’s a huge portion so watch out for that!

Chug’s is easily my favorite brunch spot in Miami! Worth the wait, and the team is always working hard to get us seated as soon as possible. I try something new every time, and I am never disappointed. It’s always delicious! Great coffee, fabulous cocktails. Our server Danielle(a?) was so kind and attentive, made us feel at home.

The food here was absolutely amazing 🤩 Came for their pancakes but everything else was just 🧑‍🍳💋 Highly recommend coming here with more people to eat a bite of everything. Wish we had more friends to try more things. Will definitely be back 🫶

Great service from Telee she explained everything on the menu and took her time giving recommendations. Everything was delicious. It was my second time and I finally got to try the pancake cause the first time it was sold out due to popularity. The Cuban American sandwich and duck croquetas were both delicious.

I’ve been coming to proper sausage for years now! Best place to get your meats/ sausages ( thanksgiving turkeys) or just to order a sandwich and stroll around the neighborhood! They also sell local goods like desserts and cheeses from local vendors. They natural wine selection is prime and the staff is very friendly love it here!

Proper Sausages is my go-to spot for American Wagyu and house made sausages!! You simply can't beat the selection and, most importantly, the quality. Oh yeah, they also have a laundry list of tasty sandwiches and daily specials. 😋 A knowledgeable and courteous staff makes Proper Sausages a can't miss destination!!!

Great old school butcher shop with high quality cuts. T, George, and Nick are beyond friendly and welcoming when I make a visit. They hand trim the meat for you, this isn’t a place where you get your meat vacuum sealed. The sandwiches here have become an obsession to me. I’m always thinking of the next time I will stop by.

Wow I really never do reviews but I had to. I was home was hungry so I decided to order a sandwich from these guys, I got the Wagyu beef Reuben. I’m a chef so I’m a little bit biased and picky sometimes, but this sandwich was absolutely spectacular. Probably the best corned beef I’ve ever had in my life.

We’re so lucky to have this neighborhood gem! The quality of the meats is consistently top-notch everything is fresh, well-sourced. It’s clear they take pride in their craft. The breakfast sandwiches are family favorite! My only (small!) complaint is the limited hours. Wish they were open earlier for breakfast and on Sundays!

Unbelievable products … superb quality and always deeeeelicious.. you can’t find a better butcher shop anywhere… worth every penny!!Just try it once !! YOU WILL BE BACK!! Thanks Props to Proper Sausage!

The best meat ever and the most delicious sausages I’ve tried! Their sandwiches are amazing — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Highly recommended!

My father and I had a wonderful Victory dinner the day after the Louisville Cardinals mopped up the Miami Hurricanes! Everything about the dining experience was wonderful from the wait time to the food! The food is perfectly priced! The portions aren't huge, but they're not small either. You may not have leftovers but you will be full. The cafe con Leche was heavenly! The bread pudding was delicious but not after refrigerated. From now on if I'm ever in Miami it is a must to dine here!

We visited Versailles Restaurant after reading so many amazing reviews over 26,000 people have rated this place! As tourists, we decided we couldn’t miss it, even though we had to take an Uber for almost half an hour from our hotel. It was totally worth it! Even though the restaurant was very busy, everything was well-organized and smooth. The place was super clean, the staff were polite and professional, and the food was absolutely delicious the rice was fragrant and tasty, and the meat was tender and full of flavor. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the great quality and generous portions. After our meal, we decided to order dessert and coffee, and the staff kindly guided us to their own bakery, which is located right on the same property. The desserts there were fantastic fresh, flavorful, and high quality, and the coffee was rich and smooth. The dessert we ordered was one of their most famous ones, and it’s meant to be enjoyed with their strong Cuban coffee. Since I ordered black tea instead, it felt a bit too sweet for me but that’s just a pairing thing! We also ordered a few items to go, and even though we ate them later when they were cold, they were still very tasty and kept their quality, so we wouldn’t deduct any points for that. The only thing I didn’t really like was that the area for adding the tip was already highlighted with a pen, as if to remind customers not to forget it. I think that’s unnecessary because most people already leave a tip unless they’re unhappy with the service, which definitely wasn’t the case here. Overall, this restaurant truly deserves 5 out of 5 stars. Everything from the food to the service and desserts was excellent. We really enjoyed our experience, and we’ll definitely come back here next time we visit Miami.

Came from Orlando for my bday dinner. Customer service excellent, our server was friendly and fast. I thought since it was a Sunday in miami there would be a long wait but we got seated as soon as walked in and the food came out within 20 mins. The food is nothing out of this world BUT it was delicious and seasoned well and felt like home cooked meal from a Cuban abuela. I would definitely eat here again the next time i’m in Miami.

Stopped by Versailles Restaurant for a pastelito de guayaba y queso and a café con leche because apparently I’m doing a full Miami pastry tour now. First off, the pastelitos here are the real deal. Softer, flakier, and the cheese tastes like it actually has a passport. 😂 The guava was fresh, the texture was perfect, and it didn’t feel like it had been sitting around waiting for its big break. And the best part? The price was better than at Karla’s. Always a win in Miami where your coffee can cost as much as your car insurance. Now, the café con leche… whew. That thing was STRONG. Like, “I can see sounds now” strong. 💪☕️ I get why people love it. It’s bold and full of flavor. But personally, I prefer the smoother coffee at Karla’s. My heart rate definitely disagreed, though. Still, Versailles never disappoints. Iconic spot, top-tier pastelitos, and coffee that’ll keep you awake through the next hurricane season.

Good experience, solid food, friendly service, dated but charming interior. We enjoyed our visit. It’s nothing to write home about, but it was interesting visiting what they claim is the world’s most famous Cuban restaurant. Ox Thai was excellent, but Paella Versailles was not good though in my view, perhaps, other paellas are better.

Great Experience with a friendly staff and very tasty food. ASSORTED SEAFOOD “ZARZUELA DE MARISCOS” Was excellent, full of flavor with less salt and great textures! Worth the price and more.

Yuck. Food was cold, nothing good about it. I had some shredded beef type stew. Husband got the lamb. It all came out COLD! The waiter was busy so we ate, paid and left. When we got up a table next to us asked how we liked it. I said we didn’t. She said it’s a hit or miss at this place. I feel if you like mediocre food you may rate this as a 4 or 5. But anyone who knows good food will not be impressed.

This shop is so wonderful! Loved our experience the first day, had to go back the second. The people working here were so helpful and kind - even offering suggestions on things to check out while visiting Miami. With quick service, we were able to get our food and drinks within 10 minutes of arriving. Ingredients taste super fresh and each sandwich on the menu offers a new flavor and standout ingredient. The hot honey sandwich was good, but nothing compared to the 'classic'. The guava and cheese sandwich is quite sweet, so it may be a later-in-the-day snack if you prefer a savory breakfast/lunch. The iced coffee is well balanced, but runs slightly sweeter/milkier so if you like strong coffee, you could ask for an extra shot. Lovely food, lovely workers, and lovely experience. (P.S. check out the bathroom for a shrine of Mr. Worldwide himself).

Best Cuban sandwich in south beach. Everywhere else skimps on the fillings or the mustard. This place has the perfect blend of everything, including price. It’ll be my first stop for lunch every time I come back to SoBe

My wife and I were looking for a unique option while in the Miami area and decided to try this place and it did not disappoint. The sandwiches were so good. I got the original and my wife got the hot honey one. We both enjoyed them very much. The staff was very kind as well.

Hands down, the best sandwich I've I've had in my 53 year life! Hot honey heaven!!! Travel to get here, its so worth it! Very cool branded t shirts too!!!

The best iced coffee bombon i’ve tried. Amazing taste. The sandwiches were pretty good too. Try it out.

Excellent. Exactly what you want if you’re looking for a good Cubano sandwich. As soon as we walked in the atmosphere was welcoming and family like. One of the best cubanos we’ve had The lemonade is really good too.

The guava lemonade is enough reason to visit this sandwich shop!! Delicious!! The Cuban is out of this world cheesy, mustardy, the meat so well marinated!! The flavors are so balanced!

Shared a pan con bistec sandwich for dinner and it was yummy! I liked it because it was freshly made - we waited no more than 10 minutes. The steak was cooked perfectly and the bread is yummy. Service was friendly! I was looking at the menu and they have several options. Would eat here again.

What can I say? It's a Miami staple. Open 24 hours, late night, it hits the spot after a couple of drinks, I hear. Anyway, I enjoy this place mainly for the vibes. It feels like Miami, like I'm home. It's not a Michelin-starred place, but the food is decent, and it's a good experience.

It was Ok the steak sandwich was a lot better than the Cuban I would have liked them toasted a little more next time. Not the best in Miami.

This place is great. Open twenty four hours to eat, do laundry, hang out with friends after a night out. The pan con bistec is amazing! The medianoche is even better. Today I’m having a turkey ham and cheese sandwich and it’s also amazing. This is a family owned business. Three generations. Grandfather owns the jewelry store, son owns the coin laundry business, and the granddaughters own the café. The music is great, too. Great vibes all around. The place also attracts a great crowd of people. My friend from high school, Alex, is the one who brought me. I think I’d passed by a couple of times because I recognized the store front but had never stopped for food. It’s also a great place to sit and do work while enjoying a batido de mamey or Honolulu (coconut milk, strawberries, bananas) Smoothie. La Tanga is also v yummy.

Disappointed with the steak sandwich and service. I ordered a steak sandwich that turned out to be hard, stale, and just not tasty at all. I specifically asked for the bread to be toasted, and it wasn’t done. On top of that, when I called to place my order, the woman who answered told me she wasn’t supposed to pick up the phone because she was finishing her shift — and that I was “lucky” she answered. That gave me the wrong vibe from the start. I still went to pick up my food, hoping for the best, and honestly, it was a letdown. At $10 per sandwich, it’s overpriced for what you get. You’re better off going to La Esquina del Pan con Bistec on 12th Ave & Flagler — they do it way better, with better flavor and customer service. The staff at this place need serious improvement in both attitude and food quality. Sandwiches should be made with care — not rushed and dry.

Breakfast, Bistec, and Bumps: A Perfect Morning at Mary’s Woke up in Miami with the sun shining, birds chirping, and the distinct realization that I needed a pan con bistec in my life immediately. So naturally, I pulled the covers off the Classic American lowrider, flipped the switches on the hydraulics, and decided to cruise through the city in style—bouncing through traffic like it was 1997 again. As I rolled down the streets with the car hopping at red lights (because why not), I took in all the chaos and beauty that is Miami: palm trees swaying, people looking like they just stepped off a music video set, the smell of cologne, sunscreen, and bad decisions in the air—and of course, the absolutely reckless drivers who think turn signals are optional. One guy made a left turn from the right lane, looked at me dead in the eyes like I was the problem. Miami, never change. Eventually I made it to Mary’s Coin Laundry & Café, a true local staple that had been hyped to me endlessly by my friends who were born and raised in the 305. I walked in and it felt like stepping into a time capsule—a humble mom-and-pop shop fused with a laundromat, full of character, flavor, and that unmistakable Cuban soul. Now, let’s talk food. I usually avoid bread (my waistline thanks me), but I had to make an exception for the pan con bistec. One bite in and I knew I was about to finish the whole thing. Crispy, tender steak layered with onions, potato sticks, and all kinds of Cuban magic. It wasn’t a sandwich. It was an experience. Then came the guava pastry—chef’s kiss. And this is coming from someone who rides hard for Porto’s in L.A. This one? Ten out of ten. Zero notes. I should’ve ordered six. I also grabbed a couple papas rellenas, and again, flawless victory. Crunchy on the outside, creamy meat-and-potato heaven on the inside. The service was warm, the vibe was nostalgic, and there’s just something wholesome about enjoying bomb Cuban food while people are switching out their dryer loads ten feet away. It’s authentic. It’s Miami. Leaving Mary’s, full and content, I hopped back in the lowrider, hit the switches, and bounced off into the Miami sunshine with steak sandwich grease on my fingers and a smile on my face. A perfect morning. Would I go back? Absolutely. Should you go? Only if you like joy.

I liked these sweet cheese things! Bought 1, then 3 more… 😂 nice place while waiting for your laundry

It’s very cute inside, but yet very small. The service was fine nothing spectacular. The food is excellent. It’s very very good. The only thing is the appetizers are really really small. They used to give you a lot, but not anymore. And I’m not a fan of automatically charging gratuity when there’s only two people Dinning. And it’s quite expensive now. But the food is so good!! Sad on everything else.

Went there for the first time this past Halloween. We only wanted to have some snacks before going back home. We settled for the Stuffed Tostones with Shrimp and Masitas de Puerco. The masitas take the cake, SO GOOD! Small plate though. Maybe two more masitas will be better portion but it is my opinion. As a recommendation from our server, we ordered a Ron Cortadito for that extra kick of energy before walking back to Lincoln Rd and, untimately, driving back home. FANTASTIC! Exactly what was needed. Service was great. We will be back for a proper meal even considering brunch which looks good after reading the menu posted in the entrance.

Everything was amazing! Food tasted very authentic, service was great, and the atmosphere was just perfect sitting outside at the patio. The best part was the mohijoto and the server making it in front of you. So refreshing.

I love this place, am a local and come here for lunch sometimes. Love the Ropa Vieja bowl and the service is great. Shoutout to Giselle, who went the extra mile and got me a little Daiquiri on the house. The maduros are great, too, as well as the passion fruit mojitos.

From the moment we stepped in the restaurant not only was it lively and welcoming, the food AH-mazing and staff superb. The cherry on top was Romel! He made me a customer for life. I will be going back and recommending to everyone just because of him. He answered questions, laughed with us and very attentive. Five stars hand down!

Our server Manuel was amazing. He was very attentive, quick, and knowledgeable about the menu. The drinks were great, and the food was amazing. Everything was delicious and fresh. I had the cocnout mojito, crispy pork belly with Yuca chips, the flank steak empanadas, and the corn tamal. When I visit Miami again, I will definitely come back here. Highly recommended!

We visited from Phoenix, AZ for our 12 yr anniversary and we were just blown away with the amazing flavor of the Pork chunks. So tender and crispy at the same time. Romel was our waiter and we were seated outside. He provided super friendly recommendations and we were glad we listened. The mojitos so refreshing. A bit too small but flavor was great not too sweet. Romel was so kind to take pictures for us. He risked his life for our picture to be standing near the street! Romel had a warm and friendly personality that I felt like I've known him for so long. What a great waiter he is! We will definitely come back, but in the meantime, we're back home now and we're still day dreaming of those pork chunks!

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.

Would definitely recommend. We stopped by a few minutes before open and Petronio sat us immediately. He was attentive, funny, and kind. My 3 year old and 8 year old felt special and myself and my husband were able to enjoy the delicious food and amazing breeze off the ocean. We’ll be back next time we’re in Miami!

Hello, I had brunch at your café this morning and overall the experience was very enjoyable. I want to clarify that the service itself was not unpleasant—on the contrary, the server was attentive and polite. However, I experienced a situation that felt uncomfortable. Around 9 AM, while sitting alone at a table for four, the server asked me twice to move to another table. The first time, I mentioned I would leave in 5 minutes. He returned 3 minutes later to ask again if I was leaving. I understand the need to manage seating, but at that time, there were very few customers and most tables were empty. The repeated follow-up made the situation unpleasant, even though the service itself was fine. I suggest reminding staff that a café is a place where customers come to enjoy a moment of relaxation, and that such follow-ups should be handled with care. Thank you for your attention and understanding.

What is not to love? Great quality, big portions and great service. As a full grown man that is 2 meters tall food was really filling. Came with a toddler and we also received crayons and paper. Great service!

From Texas. Killing time after my cruise. The food and atmosphere here is insanely good! I had Chilaquiles w Birria and honestly this was the best chilaquiles I’ve ever had. They don’t make it like this in TX! Hugo, our server, gave perfect service! He shared wonderful information with us and recommended me a popular cigar lounge to hit next!

Nice cafe located on Ocean Drive, once frequented by the late Gianni Versace. I went for breakfast one morning. I had the mimosa, a black americano and "Lox" & Bagels. It was nice but parts of the smoked salmon were discoloured, gray, and I wasn't sure how safe it was to eat. I only ate a little of the smoked salmon that was not discoloured. I think for what you pay, the smoked salmon could be better quality. Otherwise, I enjoyed my breakfast. Nice atmosphere. Relaxing. Friendly staff and good service.

I had an amazing experience at News Café! The food was absolutely delicious, and the breakfast was just on point — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Our waiter, Hugo, made the experience even better with his great recommendations — everything he suggested was spot on. The service, atmosphere, and food all came together to make it a truly enjoyable visit. Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful breakfast here! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. The service was excellent as well — a special thank you to Hugo, who was friendly, and made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

A very charming diner in Miami Beach. We went there every day for breakfast. The staff is extremely friendly. You always get a glass of water and coffee with every order. The prices are more than fair. The food isn’t anything fancy – more on the classic side – but definitely tasty and filling. The atmosphere is very cool. Definitely a recommendation for any tourist.

Red Sea bass and fries. The best crispy fish I’ve had in a while. If you love fish and in the heart of downtown drop it. Our tour guide recommended it as well saying it’s as authentic as it comes

We’ve been to Puerto Sagua twice – once for breakfast and once for dinner – and both times were amazing! The restaurant serves classic Cuban food, and everything we tried was delicious. We especially recommend the Pollo Asado with arroz, frijoles, and plantains – juicy chicken, perfectly cooked rice and beans, and so much flavor. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. They’re happy if you speak Spanish – it’s a great place to practice – but you can just as easily speak English. The restaurant itself has a charming, old-fashioned look – it’s been around for over 50 years, and that’s exactly what gives it its warm, nostalgic atmosphere. You really feel comfortable there, like the world is still a little simpler and calmer. A truly authentic spot for anyone who loves real Cuban food in a cozy, welcoming setting! 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🙌

This restaurant was recommended to us from a local because we wanted authentic Cuban food. We ordered fried grouper, empanadas, Cuban sandwich, sangria and Cuban coffee. All of that was REALLY good. The grouper came with the option of salad and fries and neither were good. It’s an old school diner atmosphere and seemed clean and well-kept. The service was uninviting and cold. The man who sat us didn’t smile, and didn’t welcome us; he just walked us to our seat and then walked away. Our primary waiter engaged with other patrons but was extremely short and cold with us. I overheard him refer to patrons at another table as his “hermanas” after asking and learning they were from a Latin country. After he visited with them, he looked at our table and walked away. He never came by to check on us. (I needed another napkin during my entire meal.) The only time he seemed half way interested in us being there was when we ordered the coffee before leaving. I’d never go back.

This really was a chill back Cuban spot and we loved it! I got the whole red snapper and she got the Puerto sagua plate. We both loved our food. Mine was the best dish I had so far on this trip. The decaf cortadito and tres leches hit the spot at the end. Definitely coming back again.

Highly recommended resturant on South Beach, we only went for a quick bite, platano omelet and cafecito. Cuban bread. I wish I would have gone later on Because the menu looks amazing for lunch and dinner.

Puerto Sagua is a solid local spot with a great atmosphere and friendly, attentive service. I had the large Cuban sandwich—it was just okay, honestly a bit mediocre compared to others I’ve had. That said, the rest of the menu looked great, and it’s clear this place has a strong reputation for a reason. I’d definitely come back, but I’d try something else next time. Great service all around!

All around a delicious, chill, friendly experience. Every piece that goes into your meal is FRESH and it shows. A minimalist sandwich with undeniable flavor. The price for what you get is 10/10. The atmosphere is welcoming which has a huge impact on your experience in this special window seat sandwich shop. One of my favorite places to go in Miami. Sorry, but I COULD NOT WAIT to dive into this sandwich, so please enjoy the photo of my half eaten piece of heaven on earth 🤌🏽🤌🏽

Without a doubt, La Sandwicherie has the best sandwiches in Miami. But what truly sets this place apart is not only the flavor, but also the outstanding service from Pablo — kind, attentive, and always welcoming. My wife was absolutely thrilled with the new gluten-free bread option. She said it’s literally the best gluten-free bread she has ever tried. Meanwhile, I enjoyed the Italian on baguette, which was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. If you’re looking for authentic taste, great atmosphere, and top-notch service, this is the place. Thank you, Pablo, for making our visit unforgettable!

Whether you need a sandwich while walking around or to bring to the beach, La Sandwicherie is a great place for a quick snack. Be aware that there is very little meat in these sandwiches, however they are tasty and the ingredients are fresh. There aren't many options for an affordable sandwich in Miami Beach so definitely try this place.

I’m a sandwich expert, so I pay a lot of attention to them – even more than to steaks or other dishes. I brought my parents on vacation and took them to try these sandwiches that were highly recommended to me – and they were absolutely perfect! 🥪 The sandwiches are big, incredibly tasty, and very reasonably priced. As an introvert, I really appreciated that I could order everything without having to talk to anyone. I honestly want to come back to Miami just for these sandwiches. Highly recommend!

I was traveling for three days and ended up eating their sandwiches almost every day. The French baguette is wonderfully fragrant—crispy on the outside with a pleasant chew, yet soft inside with a rich wheat aroma. The fillings are loaded with fresh vegetables, and when paired with their French vinaigrette sauce, the freshness is taken to the next level. If you’re looking for a simple yet delicious lunch, this place is a must-visit.

Delicious sandwiches and many options. All very affordable!! Only outdoor bar seating and it was all filled up so we had to take the sandwiches to go, but the staff was very communicative and fast. Would highly recommend ❤️

Awesome little open air sandwich shop with tons of topping options to choose from. It's a popular spot so I'd suggest ordering ahead online for pickup. Sandwich was amazing as was the coffee smoothie. It was also one of the better priced menus in the area. Definitely add to your do not miss list for South Beach.

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.

I made a reservation for 8 at lunchtime as we were on a short break from a conference across the street. We were pleasantly surprised as they had lunch specials that were very affordable and the food was delicious. The dishes were authentic Cuban cuisine. We had several different dishes as shown. The staff was very friendly and accommodating as we had a few more join us. I would highly recommend this place and will return. Thank you!

This place is a gem. Fabulous Cuban restaurant that prioritizes taste! Everything was cooked to perfection and food came out well seasoned. Never once did we reach for the salt and pepper. The restaurant was quaint and quiet which was nice after the overstimulation of the main drag. Our waiter was fabulous and helped us navigate through the menu with helpful suggestions. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

This restaurant is officially one of my top favorites by Ocean drive! The portion size is very generous! The passion fruit mojito was amazing too! I ordered the grilled chicken with two sides. Definitely worth my money! Service was amazing too!

We stopped in for lunch on our last day in South Beach. What a treat! The Cubano Sandwiches were delicious with juicy pork and pressed to make the Swiss cheese melt just right. The sandwich was definitely large enough to share. The avocado salad was the perfect side. The side of black beans was so good, one of my favorite Cuban foods. Service was quick, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was fun with tropical style furniture and decor. Quiet spot for a wonderful lunch or dinner. We will certainly be back to try more of this excellent food!

This place was fantastic. Food was excellent and authentic. The service was amazing. The waiter took time to explain the meals and make sound recommendations. Also, was extremely fast and attentive. The atmosphere was good. Very small restaurant but was set up great. They had a live salsa band playing at the time as well.

Outstanding restaurant. Amazing food, exceptional service. It’s not too big, but big enough. Flavors are rich, balanced and full of character. It’s really worthy to come and try!

We ate at this restaurant 20 years ago and it was the most amazing food and all these years we would still talk about the dishes we had. We had an overnight layover in Miami and purposely got a hotel close to this restaurant so that we could walk to it. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The food was just as great as we remembered, the drinks were delicious, the servers so friendly, and the presentation of the food was wonderful! If you are in Miami - you NEED to go here! So good!

This place was an absolute gem! Make sure to visit whenever you’re in Miami. I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while on a coffee tour. I wasn’t too impressed with the coffee next door, but I’m glad I decided to give this place a try. The food was amazing, and the coffee was excellent! I had a perfectly made Cuban.

Excellent service and food. Eating outside is a must. So relaxing. Had brunch with steak eggs Benedict and it was tasty and filling. Passion fruit drink is tasty!!! Don't hesitate, eat here!

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Our first time stopping here and we can't way to go back . The service was very fast , the waitress did a fantastic job. We absolutely loved it

The traditional breakfast one with fries and one with home fries. What I loved most was the Cuban toast but it was a bit too much for one person. Great experience excellent art work in the building as well. A must visit …

My partner and I stopped at this restaurant for dinner. Its concept is similar to a classic American diner, but with Latin vibes and a Latin-inspired menu, which I really liked. The restaurant has a large indoor space, plus an outdoor terrace with many tables. In addition, there’s an open takeaway window on one side, where people can buy Cuban coffee and other small items. We decided to sit inside. The restaurant was very clean, and all the furniture looked to be in great condition. Two waitresses came to take our order - one didn’t speak much English, so the other translated for her. This was totally fine, as both ladies were extremely nice and sweet. The Spanish-speaking waitress was super attentive for the rest of our stay. She was always around, checked on our food and refills a couple of times, and brought the bill right when we asked for it. Great service! The restaurant menu is large and offers a good variety of food - mostly Cuban dishes. We wanted to try a few things, so we ordered four tapas: Beef Empanada + Ham & Cheese Empanada, Croquettes, Yuca Fries and Shrimp Ceviche. All of the food came out at once and pretty fast; we waited only about 10 minutes. The ham croquettes came in four pieces, served with a sauce that had a sweet flavor, somewhat similar to BBQ sauce. We liked the croquettes, and the sauce paired well with them. I had the ham & cheese empanada, and my partner had the beef empanada. We both agreed that the empanadas were tasty. By the way, I originally wanted the beef empanada too, but I asked if it had olives, and since it did, I skipped it, as I don’t like olives. The yuca fries were very nice, and the portion was big! They came with garlic aioli on the side, which was very tasty. Last but not least, the shrimp ceviche was super delicious! Out of all four tapas, it was definitely my favorite. The ceviche had so much flavor! The shrimp were super fresh! The portion was generous; they definitely didn’t skimp on shrimp. It also came with banana chips on the side, which was a great touch. To drink, I ordered watermelon juice, and it was absolutely fantastic - so fresh, flavorful, and tasty! I felt extremely happy drinking it. Our final bill for everything was $41, which I thought was reasonable. I especially want to highlight the $8.99 shrimp ceviche - an amazing deal for a large portion of fresh shrimp! I highly recommend ordering the shrimp ceviche as a starter; you won’t regret it. Overall, the menu prices were very affordable and reasonable. Another plus of this business is that there are plenty of parking spots around the restaurant. But the only downside for me is the location - it’s quite far from Miami center (where I live). The only way for me to get there is by driving, and from Midtown it’s at least a 15-minute drive. Because of the location, this isn’t a place I would visit regularly. Unfortunately! But I definitely wish to return to this place soon and eat there again. And I 100% recommend everyone visit this restaurant at least once. I’m sure you won’t regret it!

Excellent tacos and the watermelon juice was more than worth it. I was going to get one of the Cuban sandwiches but the tacos caught my eye with the cilantro slaw and seasoned steak and it turned out to be some of the best tacos I’ve tried

Just a walk away from the Hotel, where breakfast is NOT complementary, this is the place to go for your morning meal. The price along should be an eye catcher. Latin Café offers Cuban style breakfast with the options of classic American style.

It was my first time having cuban food and oh boy it will definitely not be my last time!! From the entrance, to the service, to the food, everything was perfect. The cleanliness is on point. I started with a rhum 12 years from panama which smelled like honey, it was okay not the best rhum i’ve had in my life. So as for a starter i got 2 empanadas one of each both of them were perfect I really enjoyed the one with carne molida. Then i got a rabo encendido with arroz morro and patacones and oh boy that was the highlight of the night, the oxtail perfectly juicy, tender and fuill of flavor and spices. The rice was also really flavorful with great spices. The only downside was the patacones, i think they stayed a bit too long in the air so i felt like they were a bit hard to chew, but even if the patacones was not perfect i still enjoyed the full combination. Then i had the tres leches which was very decadent, the meringue was good perfectly smothered in the milk with a great cake with coconut flavor i very enjoyed it. how would you not give them a 5 star. The bathroom was clean. The music is awesome, the vibes are great. And a special mention to the waitress gaby which gave me an amazing service, always smiling and helping me with any of my choices and giving me a prompt and fast service. Highly recommended thank you gaby for the service.

We stopped in for lunch after dominoe park. We were seated outside in the back. The outside seating was beautiful and nice weather made it better than the inside for sure. Of course you have to grab a mojito and cuban sandwich. Everything our party had was absolutely delicious. We will definitely return next time we're in town and recommend to others visiting the area. We absolutely loved this establishment!

There’s something so charming about having all your senses awakened — the sound of live Cuban music, the aroma of delicious food, and the cozy atmosphere of a small family restaurant in Little Havana. The place was alive with birthday celebrations, Saturday date nights, and hungry locals. The restaurant was packed, a true sign it’s loved by the community. It’s been about a year since our last visit, and we noticed they’ve added a roof to the outdoor patio, which made dining outside much more pleasant. Thank goodness we sat near one of the industrial fans because it was steaming hot! We ordered one appetizer, two entrées, and two desserts. To start, we had the Salpicao de Mariscos — a mix of fresh shrimp, octopus, and squid marinated in olive oil, peppers, garlic, and a surprising hint of cider that added a touch of sweetness. It was such a refreshing and flavorful starter — highly recommend! For my entrée, I had the Vaca Frita with sweet plantains and sautéed veggies, which was just okay — not bad, but it didn’t quite have that crispy, garlicky punch I was hoping for after such a strong start. The vegetables were overcooked and way too oily, but the plantains were a hit for both my husband and me. He ordered the Ropa Vieja, which he really enjoyed, especially paired with the yuca fries. The unexpected star of the meal, though, was the dessert. We were planning to order the tres leches and flan, but while I was in the restroom, the manager came by to check on our table and suggested my husband try their Arroz con Leche instead. I can’t tell you how pleasantly surprised I was — the dish was smooth, comforting, and just the right amount of sweet with a touch of cinnamon. The taste and texture completely won me over! For the two of us, dinner came to just under $100 with tip included (18% gratuity is automatically added — common practice in Miami). Service: 4/5 Food: 3.5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Value: 3.5/5

We were recommended to try Old’s Havanna by a local. Everything was incredible. Our waitress Liudmila was very friendly and gave great suggestions. We particularly loved the Vitrola sampler plate and getting to hear great live music. The atmosphere is fun and lively. We will definitely be back the next time we visit the area.

We came to this restaurant and had Liudmila as our server. She gave us recommendations of popular items on the menu that were all very very good. They had live music for a bit which everyone loved. The food (appetizer platter) and drinks (passion fruit mojitos) were amazing. Prices were good. Highly recommend .

When we arrived at Old's Havana Cuban Bar & Cocina, we weren't hungry, but we wanted to sit down and soak up the atmosphere. So we ordered coffee and cocktails. It was truly a great experience. Good drinks, great service, and a fun atmosphere with live music in the background. We'll definitely be back!

This place is by far the BEST Cuban restaurant we have ever been to! It is UNFATHOMABLE just how good the food is, the meat was so incredibly tender and the flavor was out of this world. Do yourself a favor and get the pork shoulder and the lamb, both were 1000/10! And special shoutout to JORGE who was a fantastic server!!! He knew the menu from top to bottom and explained everything with so much detail. He has such a great energy and spirit to him and he made our experience so great!

Excellent choice! I love Byblos. If you know Amal restaurant in Coconut Grove, this is the sister. What I most like was the hummus, falafel, mixed rice and the Brussels. I was a little bit disappointed with the dessert, is too much greasy: fried, sugar, syrup at the same time and it didn’t have a great flavor. Other than that the atmosphere is romantic, elegant and místico. The service from the moment you arrive is excellent! I’ll come back after the renovations they are doing! Summer upper with a fixed menu of $45 per person is incredible amazing.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent ambiance. Stefan provided impeccable service and great menu recommendations. We enjoyed the octopus, hummus royal and the lamb shoulder. Make sure you save room for the chocolate hazelnut mousse. This was the best meal of our trip. Definitely worth it.

First off I used to be a foodie before I felt I was put in jail for my gluten intolerance. To finally be able to eat out and have a full tasting menu, felt like heaven again. Not only was the service amazing with Simona, they were able to accommodate me on my birthday for the most Devine tasting menu… all Gluten Free. We have been to many places around Miami and paid a lot of money for mediocre food, service, and left feeling hungry and broke.But, this experience topped it for us! We ate and tried so many things and did not get sick. We had a couple starters, salad, main entree, and even dessert-5 stars! Will definitely be back and highly suggest anyone traveling to Miami who may have Celiac, GF intolerance, and wants to have an overall nice safe experience to check out Byblos.

Exceptional food, the crispy artichokes and eggplant dumplings were especially superb, but everything was outstanding. Good cocktails. Service was wonderful and ambiance was delightful though the music is a bit loud and the restaurant dark enough other patrons were constantly turning flashlights on their phones on, both a bit distracting, but not enough to override an otherwise great experience, but I'd hope they'd turn the music down a bit and the lights up a bit.

Wow!! 100 out of 100. I can not describe just how amazing Byblos Miami truly is. We threw my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Byblos - April 2024. Bought the entire restaurant out ... coordinated by Gabriella, whose is simply 2nd to NONE ... she amazing at her job and equally lovely as a person. The atmosphere is vintage South Beach. The food and bar are simply top notch. We have a discriminating crowd and people are still talking about it. I've included a few pics, but everything about the party and the restaurant was top tier. Do yourself a favor. Eat there. Throw a party there. It's just that good!

This is our second review after 4 years we came back and loved it again and again - the food and staff are amazing - our server Xavier is so nice kind and very efficient. Here is some of the tasting we did today. Here is my older review 4 years before in 2021: Loved the food, seating are amazing, service is super good (our servers Hasna and Hansel were so nice and sweet). Loved the food so much - ask for a 3 course surprise meal and you will love it

It was not our first time. We tried old favorites and new items and always find the experience unique in presentation, creativity and flavors. Octopus, lamb ribs, kale salad, thrice cooked fries, short rib kabab, sujuk pide and strawberry cheese dessert was our meal items. Very satisfying choices to go back for although we would love to try the numerous other choices. Our server Luchi was attentive, truly friendly and very communicative with his recommendations and sincerity. Dessert was not memorable unfortunately- had too greasy deep fried-heavy aftertaste. Would not recommend if I’m honest. We had chosen to sit outside in front of the entrance which has a lovely patio setting and the evening was a perfect breezy one.

My brother, sister-in-law, and I took my mom to her first drag show at R House on Saturday afternoon. The price for the quality of the food and show are a great value. All the dishes that came out, a total of four served family style were tasty. I LOVED the summer salad. The fried chicken was also very juicy and really enjoyed the avocado tangy sauce served with it. The bottomless mimosas were also a hit. But obviously the drag show is the reason to visit, and boy do they put on a show! It is dynamic and most of all so much fun. We sang, we danced, we clapped and cheered, and we laughed and smiled for two hours straight. The service was also phenomenal. Our waiter Raul was so sweet and attentive. As were all the staff we encountered from arrival time straight through to our exit.

Such a Fun Time—We’ll 1000% Be Back! 💃🎉 Thank you so much to the R House team for such a fun and memorable night! We were in-town from Maryland celebrating my partner’s 25th birthday and everything—from the attention to detail to the energy of the show—was amazing. That afternoon, we got a call from the receptionist letting us know our reservation time might miss the drag show, and they helped us move it earlier so we wouldn’t miss a thing. That gesture alone made our night! We chose the 3-course menu ($45/person), which was great, though the lack of vegetarian options was a bit scary at first. Our server let us know they were out of all veggie dishes, but after checking with the kitchen, they found two mushroom plates for us—thank goodness! Once that was sorted, we enjoyed our appetizers and drinks. My margarita wasn’t spicy at all, but my partner’s espresso martini was delicious. The caramel popcorn was a cute touch! The queens danced the night away! They ate downnnn! 💅 The bussers were super attentive, though it was a little hard to flag our server for water. My partner loved the sparkler on her birthday dessert, it was the perfect ending to a fabulous night. We’ll 1000% be back for brunch!

Such a fabulous time partying it up at R House!! The drag performances were amazinggg! My sister’s wedding party was getting LIT! And overall the food and service was great- hope we can come again soon! Xx

Did not disappoint- and yes this is the best drag brunch in Miami. Perfect place to stop if you’re taking afternoon flight. We were able to hold our bags at R House and get to the airport in 15 minutes.

WHOS IN CHARGE OF THE GWORLS? IM IN CHARGE OF THE GWORLS!! This was a wonderful place that I visited. I came to the drag brunch and I had a fricking BALL. YOU MUST COME HERE!! Fun is literally understatement. The food was amazing. The show was AMAZING. THE STAFF WAS AMAZING!! You need to come here. ASAP. And enjoy their drag brunch. AND BRING SOME ONES!!!

Had a great experience today! S/o to our server Danny. The food was bomb and the drinks EVEN BETTERRRRR!!! Definitely a spot to come back to. The atmosphere was great with everyone happy and dancing.

I had the most amazing experience with Jacob behind the bar. He was incredibly attentive and made sure every detail was perfect throughout my visit. His service was outstanding—truly above and beyond. I would highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a top-tier experience. 10 out of 10!

I was happy to find this little hidden gem for my birthday. It's right on the bay, and the views are gorgeous. The service was a little slow, but besides that, the food was pretty good. I would recommend the Steak & Eggs if you come for brunch. The meat was cooked perfectly and was very good. The breakfast sandwich was a little dry due to the bread. There are a lot of photo opportunities around the hotel with great views for your pictures. I would recommend a brunch or dinner here because I can assume the sunset views are the best. I would suggest valet parking because this part of the island is confusing to find parking that is not for the residents.

The location is absolutely worth it – WOW! 🤩 What a view, and the sunset was just amazing! 🌅 The service was okay, and the food was good as well. We had a burrata, a burger, wine, and water. The price for two people, especially for a burger, is quite steep... But the view is 100% worth it!

​My birthday brunch at the restaurant last week was an amazing experience! The food was incredibly delicious, and the service was exceptional. Our server, Andros, was wonderfully patient and attentive; even though we were busy taking pictures every time he approached, he handled it with grace. At the bar, Sylvia crafted our drinks perfectly—the taste and presentation were top-notch! She even added thoughtful little decorations and came by my table to wish me a happy birthday, which truly made the day memorable. Beautiful place, great team, and the best service ever!

We specifically asked the waiter if we could sit at two separate tables to enjoy the sunset without obstructed views, and he agreed. After about 30 minutes, he came back and tried to move us, claiming he never said that. Instead of owning the miscommunication, he made it seem like we misunderstood him. It felt dismissive and unprofessional, especially since we were respectful and upfront about our request from the beginning. Otherwise the sunset was beautiful

The burger and the views. Depending where you sit the service is better, (sit by the water). Breakfast isn’t great but I had the burger and scallops which were fantastic. Very convenient if you are staying at the hotel.

Came here for sunset drinks and light bites, and the view alone was worth it. The vibe is super chill—right on the water, with a breezy, resort feel that makes you forget you're in the middle of Miami. Cocktails were solid and the food was fresh, though slightly pricey for what you get. Not mind-blowing, but definitely enjoyable. Perfect spot for a relaxed happy hour or a date night with a view.

I’ve been a fan of The Standard for years and always enjoyed the food at Lido Bayside Grill. Unfortunately, my recent visit was disappointing. I was told there are new chefs and they are changing the menu but whatever is happening now was just average and for the cost it really needs to be spectacular as it used to be. The burger on gluten-free bread was dry and missing sauce, and the scallops, which used to be a favorite, just weren’t up to par. The service was great, Catalina is a Great waitress and changed out the original order which was nice. I hope the quality improves because I love this place!

We had a great lunch with our three kids. Every dish was delicious — the meat and the sides were perfect. But what we loved the most was the live Cuban music. We’ll definitely come back!

I visited El Pub Restaurant on Calle Ocho and the food was absolutely delicious! I had the ropa vieja it was sooo good, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. They also had a live band playing great music, which made the atmosphere nice and chill. The only downside is that they don’t allow split checks and don’t mention it upfront, which would’ve been helpful to know ahead of time. Other than that, it was a great experience and I’d definitely come back for the food and vibe!

My visit to El Pub Restaurant in Miami was nothing short of spectacular! The Cuban sandwich was pure perfection—crispy, golden bread, melty cheese, and zesty pickles that hit all the right spots. Paired with their bold, aromatic Cuban coffee, it was a meal to remember. I shared the experience with friends, and we were all swept away by the vibrant, warm atmosphere—lively yet so inviting, like stepping into a beloved family gathering. What sets El Pub apart is its incredible Hollywood connection. Knowing that scenes from Power on Netflix, Ballers, and War Dogs were filmed here made dining feel like a brush with fame! The staff were so friendly, sharing fun tidbits about the restaurant’s storied past, which added such a special layer to our visit. Whether you’re craving authentic Cuban cuisine or want to soak in a place steeped in Miami’s cultural and cinematic history, El Pub is a gem. I’m already counting down to my next visit!

We were early for a cruise and wanted to get brunch, so we got an ride share to Little Havana. Our driver recommended El Pub, so we took him up on it. The food was AMAZING. The coffee alone was worth going! I had the Pollito y Flan, which was unique and so, so delicious. My +1 had the Vaca Frita a Caballo. We ended up sharing meals because we couldn't decide which was better. Totally worth the trip!

If you ever find yourself wandering down Calle Ocho, El Pub Restaurant is an absolute must visit! The food is pure comfort, rich in flavor, perfectly seasoned, and served with that unmistakable Cuban soul. From the first bite of cuban bread to the last sip of café cubano, every dish feels like home. The service? Simply wonderful. Our waitress, Nelly, was the sweetest, attentive, friendly, and full of that Cuban warmth that makes the whole experience unforgettable. You can tell she loves what she does! If you want to experience the real heart of Little Havana, the music, the aromas, the laughter, and the food that tells a story, then this is the place.

This Cuban restaurant on Calle 8 in Little Havana was fantastic! The mojitos were delicious, the 4 leches cake was to die for, and the fish I had was really good. The salad was fresh and crisp, and the service was excellent! Sitting outside made the experience even better, and the atmosphere was super charming, definitely a place to enjoy!

As we weren’t hungry, we didn’t order a lot of food. Only order this seafood bowl to share. But this surprised me, super yummy with fresh seafood! Amazing!! Service was okay, busy or slow I don’t know but you won’t see them often.

Honest review! Parking was a bit of a hassle because its in a small area next to a supermarket. Customer service upon arriving was okay. We went around 1230pm So it was not packed, plenty of open tables we got seated right way. There was two waiters taking orders and at one point they forgot about my table party of two so we waited about 15 for drinks and to place and order. Placing order was simple, food came out after I will say less than 20 mins. We only ordered two things. A fish broth and their loaded minuta sandwich combo, which I choose tostones for a side. They do have a special going on if you buy a sandwich combo you get a free soda. Food review: Soup was tasteless! If you are suffering from high blood pressure and are in a low salt diet then this soup is perfect for you. Keep in mind it's an orange-looking broth with nothing in it but small pieces of doodle pasta.. Like the abc noodles but these are really small. The loaded Minuta fish sandwich Came with a friend lightly battered tail on fillet of fish on a not toasted Cuban bun loaded with tomatoes raw onions and lettuce topped with their house version of tartar sauce! NO FLAVOR!!! I repeat if you suffer from high blood pressure or on a no salt no seasoning diet this place is for you! I could not eat it due to lack of flavor. I honestly went to the bathroom and threw up. The only thing that was good on the plate was th friend Hawaiian plantains that again I had to add salt. I only came to this place because of Mark Weins and Davidsbeenhere But I don't know if they got paid or their food was free because honey that food was tasteless! I can say the fish was fresh it didn't smell so that's the only thing they got right. This is my honest review and sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Was looking for a place to eat on the way to Miami airport on a Sunday evening. Saw this place on the way accidentally. Seafood specials, thought would give it a try. They were in the process of closing but still accommodated us graciously as their last customers of the day. The food was delicious. One of the best seafoods we had. Everything felt fresh. Would love to return here if we are in the area!

We were on vacation in Miami. I make it a point to visit restaurants to see if they live up to the hype. This place exceeded the hype. I got the fish sandwich. It was fried perfectly moist and tender melt in your mouth fresh fish. We also got the rice with chunks of fish in it. That was phenomenal recommend that every time you go!! We had a 20 minute wait, but it was worth it. The food was excellent. The service was good! Our waiter was very informative. The owner came around to make sure everything was good. The place was packed! I will definitely be returning. 100% recommend

We were a group of 9 Indians who were visiting Miami as part of our 5 day tour and happened to stop by on this restaurant by chance on the way back to the airport. Diana was very kind and helped us with the menu and made us feel very comfortable. A big thanks to Diana. The food was the best and we tried Calamari fried rings and fish fillet and a few other starters. We also tried the lobster sandwich for main and the sweet plantain fry. Everything was superb and everyone in our group enjoyed the food and service. In future if I ever visit Miami again, this place will be on top of the list. Highly recommended!!!

Wow! I might have never found this gem without a friends recommendation. So good you shouldn't miss this place. Try the fried shrimp and fried lobster

The food we ordered was fresh and delicious! We ordered the Eladia’s black eyed pea fritters, the la camaronera fried shrimp appetizer, conch fritters, two yellow tail fried snapper combos with black beans, white rice and fries. Everything was exquisite! We’ve visited back in 2012 or before, since we saw it on Guy Fiery’s Diners, Drive-in’s, Dives. We came back for the black eyed pea fritters, wanted to remember how they tasted. I would say they were Great, but my party was also blown away with their specialties as in the seafood. The fried shrimp and conch fritters were fresh and juicy. The fish was fresh, juicy, fall off the bone, cut ready to eat. The fries are thin and crispy. We went on a Sunday almost at 12pm there was about 5 people there, then it started to fill up with people little by little. Just to give an idea, so you can plan your visit. We paid cash, didn’t realize if it’s cash only or not. I was annoyed that they put we were 6 people to get an 18% tip, when we weren’t. Almost excellent service from staff, therefore okay.

Very clean environment, friendly staff, quick service and food was very fresh! We tried the loaded corvina sandwich which came with two sides of you choice it was crispy, well seasoned on Cuban style bun. Was the star of the meal. We also had the fried shrimp which was their specialty it was good,but a coworker recommend we try it grilled next time. Really enjoyed our visit!

I’m so glad I stopped by El Rey de las Fritas! I didn’t catch the names of the staff, but everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, it really made the experience even better. The food was priced very reasonably, and everything I tried was absolutely delicious. You can tell there’s a lot of love and flavor in what they make. Definitely worth the visit!

Second time coming here and the food is just as good. The fritas with fried cheese and plantain is so good. The burger is flavored like no other I have had.

Incredibly authentic little Cuban cafe where my server didn’t speak English, which i loved! I felt like i was in another country and made myself right at home. I had the frita especial con queso and it was delicious. The bread, the meat, the crispy fried potatoes, everything was 👌 I went back later and got coconut flan to go and the coco was very sweet but delicious. I would get the regular flan next time. I’m thinking about going back tomorrow.

Good natural shakes, not too sweet. Sandwich is cool and I'm not trying to change the game but I'm not a fan of crispy chips (would prefer french fries lol). Meat was nice, little spicy. Bun could've been better. I like the ambience

Very delicious Cuban burger! The waitress was very kind and attentive as well. Cortadito and yuca frita were perfect as well. Loved the atmosphere

Cuban diner in americqn style. Try special Fritas! Really worth it. Nice and casual service.

I always love visiting this lovely Cuban restaurant when I pass through Little Havana. From what I know, this restaurant has been in business for many years, but it still looks nice inside - clean, and all the furniture is in very good condition. The overall vibe of the restaurant is really cool, and it makes me want to stay and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff is extremely sweet and friendly. I should mention that most of the workers don’t speak English, except for one guy who’s always there during the day. He’s very helpful and always assists me with translation and communication with his colleagues. There are regular tables for seating, as well as plenty of bar seats. I personally prefer to sit at the bar because service is faster, and I get their attention right away if I need anything. The menu has a wide selection of Cuban food, but this place is especially famous for its La Original Frita Cubana, which is basically a Cuban-style sandwich with extra toppings. There are several variations of this sandwich on the menu, and they’re happy to customize it if you want to add or remove anything. I personally love the Frita a Caballo, which includes a fried egg; plus, I always ask to add Swiss cheese inside. The result is super delicious, and I truly enjoy this sandwich! I’ve also ordered the Chicken Soup, Ham Croquettes, and Yuca Fries, and all of them were tasty. By the way, the ham croquettes come out very quickly because they’re pre-prepared and just heated up. My only small issue was with the chicken soup - it had a lot of dark chicken meat, and I personally prefer only white meat. But otherwise, I really have nothing negative to say about the meals I’ve tried at this restaurant. Also, I have to mention the amazing, very tasty juices they serve. My absolute favorite is the watermelon juice - it’s super flavorful and tastes just like fresh watermelon from Costa Rica. Take my advice - always order their juices with your meal! You won’t regret it. The menu prices are very reasonable. You can easily get two appetizers for around $10 total, or one big main dish for under $10 as well. My bills were usually between $15-20, which is a great value for Miami. This restaurant accepts all major credit cards and Apple Pay, which is a big plus. Another advantage is the free parking, as the restaurant is located inside a long strip mall with plenty of available parking spots. I absolutely recommend visiting this Cuban place if you’re looking for delicious, authentic Cuban food in Miami. And don’t forget to try their La Original Frita Cubana sandwich and a fresh juice!

I really liked the vibe here, the music was good and the place had great energy. I had the Social Smashburger with the spicy ranch wedges and both were excellent. Honestly those wedges were amazing. Drinks came out pretty quick but the food took a while which was a little frustrating. Our server was great though, really attentive and helpful. The one thing that really bothered me was how long it took to get the Inter Miami game on. This is Miami and Messi is playing, so it was kind of crazy that management seemed totally lost about it. Prices are a little on the high side but that’s normal for Miami.

Visited American Social in Miami (Brickell) today for lunch. Special shout out to the bartender, Emely for her amazing recommendation, Southwest Chicken. This is noted as a House Specialty and they aren’t wrong. Absolutely delicious! Staff was incredibly friendly and the atmosphere and water views were fabulous. Can’t wait to come again next time I’m in town!

Came to Miami for a bachelor party and this place was a hit. It’s in a great location in Brickell offering amazing drinks, food, and really good prices. We loved this place so much we had drinks at night and brunch in the morning. We loved seeing yachts cruise by on the Miami River from their patio and how close all the other bars and shops were. Highly recommend this place for any occasion.

Cool location. Sat on the patio. Not a full house, but the service was a little slow. I enjoyed my steak and wedges. Music was a little loud for my taste.

My father and I went to this restaurant while in town to watch the Louisville Cardinals dismantle the Miami hurricanes, LOL! We went to watch Thursday night football and have dinner! The service was great, the bathrooms were very clean, and the atmosphere was like being in a movie. The next time I visit Miami it is definitely on my list of places to go and especially if it is during football or basketball season.

Alyssa was our server. The sweetest and friendliest who provided awesome service and great recommendations. Ahi Tuna !! Truffle steak melt. Yummy!

Highly recommend very nice atmosphere as well as sitting by the water. Service great as well as the food.

Playa Cafe was so good; we visited it twice in our 5-day trip. I can't wait to go back. The pupusas are a must!

I’ve been coming here since 2007! Sigue igual. Rico, fresco, y comida de casa - this is MUST visit when in Miami! Do yourself a favor and pay a visit (and a good review) to this place!

Bartender had great customer service service! Great cocktails! Welcoming in Miami Beach open until 5Am! Highly recommended! We Was able to play our own music at liking! I refer this spot every time you come to Miami! Also they have a pool table and karaoke!

The BEST TAMALES I ever have!! They serve great and authentic Cuban food, it’s amazing! Playa cafe is always our first stop when we are in Miami and is our favorite. There are times that we start our day here and then go back for dinner 🤭. This small cafe is always packed, there is no surprise there because the food will not disappoint. The staff are friendly and accommodating. It is always a good experience dining here. And the portions are huge! Good price, very affordable considering it’s Miami. Not sure about the parking situation in the area. Highly recommended!!!

A Family run Cuban Restaurant having a wide range of flavor experiences to match the taste buds of all types of Customers.

From all the places we ate in Miami, this was easily the best. The food was solid, the staff friendly, and—most importantly—the prices actually reasonable. No frills or fancy décor, but it doesn’t need it. If you’re price-conscious and want to avoid the usual tourist traps, it’s worth a stop. That said, I wasn’t thrilled about the attempt to quietly slip in the 15% service charge while still suggesting a 15–20% tip on top. It’s standard Miami trickery, so I don’t fault them more than the system itself, but it does leave a bad taste after an otherwise good meal.

I been coming to playa cafe for years the food and serves were always nice. But today the “ MANAGER” ( if we can call that)of the restaurant she was extremely rude and bad behavior with such an actitud. I even didn’t wanted to keep eating, I prefer to leave before respond to this lady! because manger I don’t think she deserves that tittle. The way she talk to a customer she think is talking to her husband or kids. Cero education no respect at all. She don’t even deserve work as a waiter the way she treat people, she should stay home. Because. Customers go there to eat enjoy good time, no to listen this unrespectfull person. The owner should be assign as Manager someone humble with nice actitud able to help the customer!

My daughter stayed here with her partner a couple of months ago and loved it so much she booked a visit for my husband and I. We are so happy she did because this place is beautiful. As soon as we stepped in we felt welcomed. The staff were all very helpful especially “Pablo” who assisted us by the pool. What an amazing guy. His smile made us feel welcomed. But his continues concern for making sure if we needed anything or can help in any way was really appreciated. There was also the Hotel manager or Hotel supervisor unfortunately I can’t remember his name but he is originally from Morocco and was also very attentive to the guess. Breakfast was delicious even the fruit salad tasted better than most places.

Cool place, Thanks Racheal on the desk & Eric out at the entry. Real nice people. I'm from a country that doesn't do tips so struggle understand a 18% service charge and then an implied obligation to tip another 18% But it appears it's a Miami thing as other restaurants try the same trick. But back to the Hotel....very cool, loved the vibe. We even had a power cut for maybe 15 hours that made for an eventful stay. It was NOT the hotel's fault but they stepped up and made the best of a bad situation.

Very nice hotel. The rooms are a good size. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated. They have a really nice pool. It’s great that you can order food and drinks pool side. It’s also nice that they have a section of the beach where you can request beach chairs and umbrellas (included in your stay). However the service that you receive at the beach is severely lacking. Not necessarily from the men who set up your chair and umbrella but 100% from the wait staff who take your drinks and food order beach side. Each day that I went to the beach the wait staff was inattentive and dismissive. However, they would easily attend and greet the white guests that were sitting the left and write of me. They would ask the white guests how they’re doing, offer them menus, bring their drinks and food timely. I simply can’t dismiss the overtly racist behavior from the wait staff when I literally witnessed a wait staff walk by every beach chair to greet and offer them a menu but skipped right over mine. I hope the hotel acknowledges the potential racial biases in their wait staff and trains them to do better. Everyone deserves quality customer service regardless of their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, etc.

The National Hotel in Miami Beach was incredible! Katie the manager was so welcoming and made sure everything was perfect from the start. Pablo, our server by the pool, was the best, super attentive and always friendly. Miadora, our pool attendant, was amazing and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. Beautiful hotel, great vibe, and the kind of service that makes you want to come back again and again.

The National Hotel is a true gem in Miami Beach. The Art Deco architecture is gorgeous and gives the whole place a unique, nostalgic vibe. The pool is one of the best in the area—long, elegant, and perfect for lounging. The beach area is just as impressive, with clean sand, clear water, and excellent service. Speaking of service, the staff here are phenomenal. Friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, they made our stay feel truly special. The rooms are beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxed yet upscale, and everything is kept in perfect condition. If you're visiting Miami Beach and want an adult only hotel that combines style, comfort, and top-tier hospitality, The National Hotel should be at the top of your list.

Great location. Stayed here before our cruise left Miami Port. Great good. Fantastic beach access with chairs and umbrella. Loved the bars and the steak delivered to our room was DELICIOUS! We walked across the street for drinks and a snack at a place called taco taco. The breakfast was over the top good and the outdoor seating was so nice. Pool is clean and lovely. Very relaxing. Also tons of seating. Rooms were nice and clean. They are renovating but we were not disturbed at all by it. Also had hammocks outside with an outdoor bar.

My wife and I needed a relaxing, adults only vacation. We are educators and therapists so we needed to refresh our minds and bodies. We were met with amazing service, front-desk, and workers. Elijah F. was a rock star, meeting us with smiles and joy. He did everything he could to make our stay enjoyable. The pool, the food, the beach, the ambiance was incredible. The architecture and music were incredible; THANK YOU ALL. We will be back.

The Golden Hog in Key Biscayne is much more than just a market, it is a true gourmet destination. From the moment you step inside, you can feel that this place has been designed with passion for quality and attention to detail. It’s the kind of spot where every product, every display, and every corner tells a story of excellence. The variety is impressive: from fresh produce and artisanal cheeses to charcuterie, wines, and specialty goods that you don’t easily find elsewhere. Each item seems carefully curated, offering both local treasures and international selections that elevate the shopping experience. For food lovers, it feels like a playground, you come in for one thing and leave with a basket full of discoveries. What makes The Golden Hog stand out even more is the prepared food and deli section. The sandwiches are outstanding, salads are fresh and vibrant, and the hot dishes reflect restaurant-level quality. Everything is made with precision, balance, and premium ingredients. It’s the perfect solution whether you’re grabbing something quick for lunch, planning a beach picnic, or looking for something special to bring home. The service is also top notch, friendly, professional, and always willing to guide you toward the best choices depending on your taste. Combined with the elegant yet relaxed ambiance, it creates a unique balance between market and gourmet bistro. In short, The Golden Hog is a top spot in Key Biscayne: a gourmet market that sets the standard high and delivers every time. An absolute must for locals and visitors alike.

Incredible food! Sandwiches were delicious and and options endless.

Island life is really different. Seems like we got away from urban life. We enjoyed in Golden Hog taking lunch in deli area. Chef cook prepared fresh lamb and burger from the scratch. That was delicious. No pricey. French fries can be different, more thicky. Except that fantastic place. Seafood area is awesome with plenty of choices

A beautiful place with fantastic products. I was able to buy my favorite gourmet foods from other countries that I usually can’t find. Gerson was able to provide wonderful customer experience with his culinary skills in recommending what to eat and preparing the best filets I’ve eaten.

Fantastic boutique grocer / deli / cafe in a simple strip mall. Plenty of parking and a few tables / chairs for those who want to sit outside. Great fruit / vegetable, cheese and wine selection. A lot of imported items that you won’t find elsewhere in Miami. It’s not inexpensive but - small as it is - it’s a premium experience w/ very friendly and helpful service.

VERY EXPENSIVE, DO NOT RECOMMEND. The reason as to why i say this is because one time i remember going to eat pasta and i wemt to check the price and It turned out to be 15 dollars, which IS reasonable but i decided to add ONE meatball, and It rose the price to 27 dollars. A SCAM

The Golden Hog Disappointed about the Spanish omelet!!! It looks great, very thick and well presented, however it does not have enough egg!!! The beauty about it is the right balance between egg and potato!!! So this is an expensive potato cake. The paella is similar since it is rice with very little sea food!!! A small container for $17!!!!!!! Do not recommend it!!!

Very nice the food is really good, the service was very friendly the prices was great I would definitely go back and the. Coffee was the best

Simple and delicious Cuban lunch at Manolo and Rene Grill! The Cuban sandwich was crispy and flavorful, the flan was rich and creamy, and the Cuban iced coffee hit the spot. Great Latin music and friendly service made it even better. A must-visit if you’re in Miami, near Brickel, and looking for Cuban fare.

Absolutely love this place! Served with amazing hospitality and the Cuban sandwich was fresh, light, but super filling. I’ll be sure to come back anytime I’m in Miami.

Was in Miami and was craving a Cuban sandwich; saw this place and ordered a Cuban sandwich and cheese empanada. Sandwich was very good and fresh! Girl at counter was friendly and gave me advice where to relax and eat at nearby park.

Excellent food! We all.ate there 2 days in a row. The cuba sandwich was Excellent. Sorry no pic!!

Food is good. Serve runs smooth. Table seating available. Dining area is also the storage area. 18% on larger orders already added. Parking is difficult.

Really fantastic food and reasonably priced. Easily some of the best Cuban sandwiches in town. However, when I went, the bread on the Cuban sandwich was a bit soggy. Luckily, the flavor made up for it. Also, very kind staff and overall great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Mike at Gramps was hands down amazing! We've had a mediocre experience since arriving in Miami and Mike and the whole crew at Gramps has revived our whole trip! The Gramps mule with fresh ginger was next level amazing...best mule I've ever had! The pizza with handmade dough was *chefs kiss* fabulous! Mike was personable and made me want to refer anyone I knew to drop onto Gramps!!!​

Come here often. Staff is always great. Scott goes above and beyond to make the perfect cocktail. Definitely knows hospitality. Always come back for the pizza wings and drinks. Fun fact, found out they make their own mozzarella in house.

Gramps is a fun, no-frills dive bar in Wynwood with a super friendly staff and great vibes. We caught a drag show here and it was the highlight of the night: energetic, classy and welcoming. The drinks are solid, the crowd is chill, and it feels refreshingly unpretentious in a gentrified neighborhood. Definitely worth checking out.

What a fun place to be it's a bar with indoor outdoors but its so much more than that they have everything form art shows, flea markets, EDM style shows, all types of entertainment actually and fun activities like karaoke and more I love going here and the crowd is an everyone type of vibe.

Having a guy with obvious mental health and anger issues handling tickets and screaming and insulting guests and professional photographers invited to shoot a band , definitely matches some of the negative comments i read here, Definitely had beers at Temple instead as im not patronizing a place like Gramps with the treatment i got. I understand some employees might be saddened and upset about this place closing but that doesn’t entitle you to be rude and to mistreat people.

Went to Gramps in Miami last night for the drag show and had the best time. Super laidback and fun vibe, great courtyard, real dive bar energy with lots of locals. Staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home. Sad to hear they’re closing soon, so glad we got to experience it. Definitely go while you still can!

Excellent service. They had two bars ready to go. Not long of a wait for food. It's going to be sad when they close

Review for Chef Sucre - Coral Gables I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chef Sucre in Coral Gables, and I was thoroughly impressed! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for breakfast or a quick bite. The cleanliness and organization of the café stood out; everything was well-maintained and tidy, which always enhances the dining experience. I ordered a hot chocolate and eggs with jamón serrano, and both were delightful. The hot chocolate was rich and creamy, providing the perfect warmth on a cool morning. The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the addition of jamón serrano added a deliciously savory touch that elevated the dish. It was a satisfying meal that left me feeling content. The service was impressively fast, which is a huge plus for anyone on a tight schedule. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed without being intrusive. Their positive attitude added to the overall enjoyable experience at Chef Sucre. In summary, if you’re in Coral Gables and looking for a great café with delicious food, quick service, and a welcoming atmosphere, Chef Sucre is definitely worth a visit! I’ll be returning soon to try more of their offerings.

Nice coffee shop next to Le Jeune with a good cappuchino and pastries. The service was fast and friendly (although they were quick to remind us that only clients can sit outside when they saw us without food and didn't ask if we had already ordered)..... Other than that the atmosphere was ok.

I order That Breakfast Bagel with a choice of 1 side, either chips and a salad. I chose the salad and everything was quick and fresh ( watched them make it). I had 10 minutes to get to an appointment and made it in time. I appreciate that the utensils came with salt and pepper and the Biodegradable bag.

Beautiful and sweet place! The server was really kind and welcoming and it’s the perfect price if you want to save some money not to mention the food is absolutely delicious as well. The food came in incredibly quick, warm, and delicious! Thank you for having us!

A million times yes !! Everyone here is so so welcoming, always with a smile and so extremely happy to serve you. They really seem grateful you’re there. Not only that, the coffee and food are 10/10. Gone here twice and it’s been delicious and amazing each time. Neither of the sandwiches we ordered have lacked flavor. I certainly recommend, this place is a gem.

Certainly! Here’s a polished version of your review rephrased for a Google Review format: ⸻ The food at this restaurant is consistently outstanding—Chef Sucre is incredibly talented, and the quality is always top-notch. Unfortunately, the front-of-house experience does not reflect the same level of excellence. The woman who handles orders and checkout (who I believe is the chef’s wife and co-owner) provides a consistently poor customer service experience. She comes across as unwelcoming and lacks basic customer service skills, which makes the overall experience uncomfortable. It’s disappointing when such amazing food is overshadowed by unfriendly service at the front. On my last visit, I ordered takeout because I was short on time. While waiting, I asked if I could sit at one of the many empty tables outside to eat quickly before heading to my appointment. I was told no, as she didn’t want other customers getting the idea that it’s allowed. I would understand this if the restaurant was full, but with seven open tables and no wait, it felt unnecessarily rigid and dismissive—especially considering I was a paying customer. Customer service should be about creating a welcoming and accommodating environment. Sadly, that’s not the case here. As much as I love the food, the lack of hospitality has made me decide not to return.

This place is the perfect breakfast / lunch stop to go with excellent coffee. The Cuban Style Colada was outstanding, 3 espresso shots with sugar. Loved it! The ham and cheese croissant was exceptional. Your choice of inside or outside dining. Chef Sucre Café is the perfect brunch spot.

We came here right after our cruise and decided to get a pool day pass, upgrading it to include a cabana. It turned out to be an excellent choice and made the wait for our flight so much more enjoyable. The cabanas are fantastic. They come with unlimited soda, water, and energy drinks, plus cable TV, two lounge chairs, two cushioned lounges, and even a private poolside room with your own hostess. It felt like having our own little VIP setup for the day. The pool area itself is very clean, and the views of Miami are outstanding. There are unlimited towels available along with an outdoor shower, which made it easy to freshen up before heading to the airport. One thing to note is that the floor around the bar area can get slippery when it rains, so it is worth being careful walking in that section. The staff was attentive, and the whole experience was organized and relaxing. Whether you are coming off a cruise like we did or staying the day before your ship leaves, this is a great spot to spend time. It is convenient, comfortable, and the cabana upgrade makes it feel like a mini vacation of its own. Overall, the InterContinental Miami pool day pass is a great way to stretch out your trip. With the cabana amenities, clean pool, and amazing views, it is well worth it if you are looking for a place to relax before or after cruising.
