“They don't serve food here. Just drinks. And if you're in the mood for a drink and you like a rum runner, come get Sammie's rum runner. Not any other bartender. Sammie. The best rum runners we have had. Absolutely off the hook good.“

“This is an excellent restaurant that checks all the boxes. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by a pleasant atmosphere and polite staff. The highlights, however, are the dishes—everything we ordered was very delicious. A perfect dining experience!“

“This is an excellent location! We love North Italia, so we were very excited to visit this one in Aventura. It's big and gorgeous and the service was flawless. Our server Chris was exceptional. We had a small women's event for brunch and the team took such great care of us.“

“12/10 experience. Caroline our server was absolutely WONDERFUL!! So knowledgeable, so sweet and took amazing care of us. She recommended our plates and they were hands down the best plates we have had in Miami. Best branzino I’ve had in my life!! Everything from drinks to the branzino and ribs to the most delicious dessert ever our experience was AMAZING. I am 100% coming back and visiting Caroline and their AGM David. What a joy to be served by them and eat the most delicious food!!!“

“I have spent great time with my girls there, Food was amazing, Atmosphare was Awsome, Highly Recomended.“

“What detracts from the experience is the disconnect between the vibe of the bar and looking into the food court on the first floor. The cocktails and food were great though.

Note that the $300 drink minimum for groups of 6 or more is only for drinks and does not include food.“

“Great experience at Conventillo, but the real highlight was Julieta. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the meal.

If you’re lucky enough to get Julieta as your server, you’re going to have a fantastic experience. Her service alone is a reason to come back.“

“The staff is wonderful! the food us 😋😋😋“

“Our new absolute favorite must-have when visiting the Hollywood Broadwalk! AMAZING blueberry margaritas!!!! Excellent food and super friendly service. Cannot recommend them enough! ❤️“

“Chelsea S. Was our waitress and she was friendly and very helpful. We had happy hour beverages and both the Pina Colada and Coconut Cloud Martini were delicious! Shareable were tasty and filling. I would recommend the Street corn Dip and the Ahi Tuna Tacos. We would recommend and will be back!“

“Yes, Best pizza ever!!! I am originally from NY and omg this pizza was amazing!“

“The citadel is such a lovely place for gatherings.“

“So sad to hear Carousel Club is closing because this place was genuinely one of a kind. The vibe was just different. Open air with the racetrack right there. Kid friendly. My son loved it there. It felt fancy and laid back at the same time, which is hard to pull off.

Jessica and Tricia honestly made this place. Every time I came in they made me feel like I was their favorite person there. That kind of energy is rare and it kept us coming back. The whole team is super talented, warm, and just genuinely good at what they do.

Going to miss this spot a lot. Thanks for the memories.“

“sushi best of Broward , consistent fresh ingredients.“

“Ten out of ten. Mother Wolf Miami delivered one of the best Italian meals I’ve had outside of Italy, honestly, I’d imagine this is close to the real thing.

We started with the panzanella salad, which was fresh and perfectly balanced. The lamb chops were cooked beautifully, and the gnocchi were pillowy soft with incredible flavor. We finished with the tiramisu, which was the perfect ending to the meal.

Our server, Ryan, made the night even better , attentive, knowledgeable, and just genuinely great to have at our table.

Can’t recommend this place enough. Already thinking about when we can go back.“

“De los mejores, en sus preparaciones sientes todo el sabor y sazón de la comida peruana. Altamente recomendado!“

“We had the most amazing meal there. The staff were attentive and knew the menu - gave us suggestions of what to order . The bar tender made a wonderful sangria which to me was a plus. The food was prepared to perfection and beautifully plated. I would highly recommend this great find!“

“Tucked into the Oceanside of our favorite Boutique Hotel in NOBE, this place will WOW you with their food, atmosphere and view. The staff is phenomenal, service is excellent. We’ve had most everything on the menu over the years, most recently the Ahi Tartar, Greek Salad, Grape Arugula Salad, Kalypso Burger and pizzas (Margarita and Mushroom), Lamb Shank and Short Rib, everything was perfectly prepared and presented. It’s accessible from the beach walk or Collin’s Ave. you will not be disappointed with a visit to this fine establishment. Achilles and his staff including Kenny and Niko will treat you like family.“

“very nice cozy place. food is good, great drinks.“

“That’s an amazing restaurant, Argentinian meat. Very tasty.“

“Es un lugar de música electrónica muy especial“

“had a great time with lots of laughs and a full belly. the staff is active and can bring the fun organically. Will be back soon! thank you!“

“Great specials for ladies night on drinks. Wings were great. Andrew took great care of us! Give them a try“

“Homeade bloody mary mix, need I say more?“

“Great ambiance and the bartenders were excellent — friendly and attentive.

Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience with the kitchen. We visited on Friday and our dessert never came out. We returned on Saturday for happy hour and ordered sliders. The sliders arrived with ingredients that were not listed on the menu. We requested a replacement, but the second order was also prepared incorrectly.

Overall, the front-of-house experience was strong, but the kitchen execution fell short.“

“Went here for Santigold and then two days later, Rhye. I’m picky about my music venues but I’m really impressed by Zeyzey!
Music system sounds great, great ambiance, love the outside aspect. Staff is really nice (which is rare lol) and they have tasty, strong drinks.
The parking is also not too bad considering it’s Miami“

“Love J&C Oyster. Food is always amazing“

“Great place to brunch and close to our house. Drinks are AMAZING and food is great.“

“We found Elvis Italian Grille while looking for somewhere to eat before a show at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Everything at the hotel was completely booked, so we decided to take a chance on a nearby Italian restaurant with good reviews. I can honestly say this place exceeded every expectation.

The food was absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and tasted like it was made with genuine care. The atmosphere was the perfect blend of upscale and casual—elegant enough to feel like a special night out, yet comfortable and welcoming.

What truly set this place apart, though, was the service. Our waitress was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time. Even more impressive, every single member of the staff greeted us when we arrived and thanked us as we were leaving. That kind of hospitality is rare and made us feel genuinely appreciated.

This was such an unexpected gem and easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in the Hollywood/Dania Beach area. If you’re heading to the Hard Rock for a concert or just looking for incredible Italian food, do yourself a favor and eat here first. We’ll absolutely be back every time we’re in the area!“

“Yet another spectacular surprise on the culinary map! I consider myself incredibly fortunate to experience meals of this caliber, especially while collaborating with such phenomenal clients on exciting new projects.

Architecturally, the venue is a triumph. The design framework is visually arresting and creates an immediate sense of place.

The front-of-house execution was flawless. The staff were radiant, exceptionally attentive, and possessed a deep technical knowledge of the menu. Service pacing was immaculate—anticipatory rather than reactive.

From a menu-engineering standpoint, the balance between land and sea protein is brilliantly executed. It is inclusive enough to satisfy a discerning palate while remaining accessible to more conservative diners.

Engrossed in high-level conversation, we surrendered ordering autonomy to our server and requested a bespoke, multi-course selection. She delivered a masterclass in curation.

While the visuals speak volumes, they only hint at the palate's reality. The flavor profiles and execution were exceptional. Each dish demonstrated meticulous presentation and a level of finesse that beautifully matched the flavors. Portion scaling was precise, allowing a party of six to share comfortably with enough for a second bite.

The standout of the night was undeniably the Chilean sea bass. It was executed to absolute succulent perfection, bound by a savory glaze that masterfully elevated—rather than masked—the pristine, inherent profile of the fish.

On my next visit, I plan to explore the raw bar and precision sushi rolls. A technical note for the finish: do not skip dessert. The donuts are decadently elite.

Kuro delivers on every metric. If you stop by the bar for a high-proof, well-crafted cocktail, say hello to Marcos and let him know Nick sent you.“

“The best vibes, service & food!!!“

“Amazing atmosphere with lots of choices for you to have for a night out. Love the set up and especially the bar open concept with the retractable doors. The wrap around porch with seating is perfect for those who want to have a quiet conversation outside. But with so much energy inside I am certain you will love all areas of this new food hall. I was fortunate to attend friends and family and can’t pick what was my favorite… high on the list is the ramen and boba tea but then again sushi was great, dessert waffle was great, chicken sandwich was great… fried rice was great… ok so all of the food we had was great!“

““ Went in around happy hour for girls night on Thursday, ordered a Mojito. It did not have any mint or enough alcohol. It seemed watered down. The bartender dicey that night seemed upset as we told our waiter we didn’t like the drinks. Felt super uncomfortable. They had a full bar only one person making drinks for the whole restaurant. Happy hour menu was great however, no complaints on the food at all. Flat bread & bang bang shrimp was out of this world. But the service and quality control was easily overlooked, 2 stars.“

“There isn’t a place like this out there… the owner is the kindest, the food is the tastiest, the vibe- the craziest, the experience- unmatched…
Do yourself a favor and come check this place out
..11/10 stars“

“We’ve visited the Guest a number of times, as a couple, with our family and always had a great dinner. Food choices are nicely varied, without being overwhelming. Tastes consistently great and servers are friendly and quick without being intrusive. Definitely worth checking out and enjoy the fun outdoor seating.“

“Excellent place for a business meal or date. Everything was homemade & delicious. The duck ragu will knock your socks off! Nice wine list too.“

“Great food, fun, and atmosphere. Excellent service don't miss a beat! 🩷“

“I had an amazing experience at Hikari! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service made the night even better. Our waiter, Moses, was absolutely incredible—so friendly, attentive, and super helpful with recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. He truly went above and beyond and made our experience so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back and hope to have Moses as our waiter again!“

“Fabulous food and drinks, matched by impeccable service!“

“Tonight we went for a 10 year old Birthday dinner !! From the moment he walked in the door he was greeted and made felm special! The service was great Brandon was very helpful and he went out of his way to make Luke feel special, he made him a fancy fun Limonade !! The food presentation was also amazing 👏 🤩 we have been to Sushi Sake alot we love i but hands down this beats all the other times !! Thank you Brandon and your Team for a wonderful experience our little guy will never forget this 10th birthday dinner!!“

“Ok, so there was a lot going on today cinco de mayo celebration, the girls in the front desk were new, but they kept their cool and not once did they get rude. Juan our waiter zipped around from table to table and again even though he forgot some stuff he kept calm and always served with a smile. I appreciated all of it. even the hostess was really nice too. I share this because I too am a business owner and know things can get hectic. But just like we can complain we also gotta give flowers when they are due. Thank you guys we had a great time. Oh and live bad and music was great too! 🔥“

“Amazing dinner. We wanted to be seated outside, but everything was booked. We will make reservations next time.“

“Stopped in for a drink and Claudia mixed up a great skinny Margarita. Had fun chatting up some regulars playing table games at the bar. Will go back.“

“My husband took me for mother's day. The food was amazing, the drinks were excellent, and the service was outstanding—everything exceeded our expectations! 🙌 The restaurant wasn't crowded during our visit, although our reservation was fairly early at 6:30 PM. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it.
The food quality was exceptional, and the prices were very reasonable for what you receive. The only downside is that valet parking is the only parking option available. Also, be aware that valet rates may increase on holidays and special occasions.“

“PHENOMENAL FOOD & fantastic service. We cannot wait to come back!“

“Amazing experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The atmosphere was welcoming, and everything exceeded my expectations. Our waitress Lady was super friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. She checked on us often and provided excellent service with a smile. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Mexican food!“
