“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.“

“I visit Miami at least once a year. My friend suggested Toku, so on Thursday night I made a visit. The bartender was outstanding...she was polite and engaged. Dinner service was excellent too. I went off of his suggestions and he delivered outstanding advice.
I will visit again this winter.“

“Everything was absolutely delicious! We ordered the burrata, beef carpaccio, and two grilled branzinos, and thoroughly enjoyed every dish. The carpaccio initially had a little too much sauce for our taste, but the staff replaced it with a sauce-free version immediately and without any hesitation. The service was wonderful, the menu was excellent, and we left extremely happy.“

“Such an interesting and unique bar in Miami! The cocktail menu is really creative, with some unexpected ingredient combinations that actually work so well together. We tried several drinks, and every single one was delicious! My favorite was the Yeti, such an interesting mix of flavors.

They also serve a welcome drink, which was a nice touch. During our visit, they had a Korean chicken pop-up menu, and the food was surprisingly good! I’m not sure if it’s a regular thing, but definitely worth trying if it’s available.

Overall, a really fun experience with creative cocktails and a unique concept and service was top notch! Definitely worth visiting!“

“One of South Florida's most unique outdoor hangouts, Carousel Club at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach is absolutely worth a visit. Built around a stunning antique carousel-inspired bar overlooking the thoroughbred racetrack, this open-air venue perfectly blends laid-back daytime vibes with an energetic nightlife atmosphere.

One of the best things about Carousel Club is its constantly rotating lineup of pop-up food vendors, giving you plenty of delicious options every time you visit. Whether you're grabbing tacos, artisan pizza, burgers, or another featured concept, there's something for everyone. Pair your meal with one of their handcrafted cocktails, frozen drinks, or local beers, and you're all set for an afternoon or evening of fun.

The atmosphere is what truly makes this place stand out. With spacious outdoor seating, lawn games, live music, DJs, and unbeatable views of the horse races, there's always something happening. It's the kind of venue where you can relax with friends during the day, enjoy the excitement of live racing, and then stay into the evening as the energy picks up with entertainment and a lively crowd.

Whether you're planning a casual afternoon, a date night, or celebrating with a group, Carousel Club delivers a memorable experience that's unlike anywhere else in South Florida. The unique setting, great drinks, fun entertainment, and ever-changing food options make every visit feel different. It's easy to spend a few hours here enjoying the atmosphere while watching the horses race just a few feet away.“

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

“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!“

“Es un lugar de música electrónica muy especial“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“It was an amazing experience! Aray was a great waitress, very friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The service was excellent, and she made the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend this place, and I’ll be coming back again!“

“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.“

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

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

“The best vibes, service & food!!!“

““ 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.“

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

“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!“

“Little Haiti's best-kept secret for live music: the Zaku Stage sits outdoors under a sprawling banyan while the indoor Tima Disco keeps the DJ sets going. Sound is excellent without being punishing, the crowd is genuinely fun, and Tacos Maria plus craft cocktails keep the night fed. Every night is programmed differently, so check the calendar and expect a backyard party with professional grade production.“

“This place is amazing! The food and service are spectacular. Everyone went above and beyond to make our girls night special. Laura and Michela at the front were very accommodating. Our sever Andy was very attentive and informative. He knows what he's doing. Even the chefs accomadated us well. Chef Jin and the sushi chefs made amazing specials. The fish was sp fresh and everything was absolutely delicious. Chef Jason and Justin sent out amazing dishes cooked to perfection. Even the manager Luigi stopped by to chat with us and check on our experience. He was so great to talk to. The server assistant chris had a great attitude and was constantly checking on us. The Food runners described everydish down to the tea. AMAZING STAFF AND AMAZING FOOD.“

“I’ve been going to the Bistro for many years and weather it’s a night in the barroom or having a delicious full course meal in the dining room 😎 Every time it’s been an Outstanding experience with Great service and the Most Delicious Food of many different kinds !!! 😁🫶 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸“

“I really enjoyed my time at Puya Cantina.

Buy one get one free cocktails for Happy Hour! SAY LESS!

I also really enjoyed the food here. I was able to snag a picture of the loaded nachos we ordered, but I was not able to snag a picture of the delicious yuka fries, and the carne asada fajitas.

Everything was so delicious and came out pretty quick!

The overall cost for almost two entres, a side, and 3 drinks was about $108 including tip. We split it three ways which is definitely not bad for a Josh restaurant!

This is definitely going to be a new date-night spot for me!

Also I would like to mention the free parking and the service. The service is a little slow even though the food does come out quick, it just seems a little disorganized,but we were a table of 11 so I won't count a star off for it.

Still giving Puya 5 stars!“

“Highly recommended when you want to take advantage of a beautiful day. Mike was hands down the most attentive and kind bartender.“

“The service was wonderful. Our server came was very helpful when we were selecting from the menu she was very informative. I’ve been to some restaurants where the waitress will just tell you everything is great not knowing what’s really on the menu. She did not she was very honest she told us what was the best option. What was the most popular and what she liked and she recommended the short rib rigatoni for myself, which was delicious
My wife had the ribeye steak with a side of rigatoni with vodka sauce, and that vodka sauce was incredible The restaurant was beautiful The atmosphere was nice. It was very welcoming. I highly recommend this for anybody looking for a date night or anybody looking to have a family dinner. Great choice for any occasion.“

“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.“

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

“Highly recommend Hikari! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The waiters were fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. We really enjoyed everything and had such a great experience. Definitely a place I would recommend and come back to again!“

“Because of Lisette we had an amazing experience! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. She had such a positive attitude, checked on us often, and made the whole dining experience enjoyable. Great customer service like hers is hard to find. Please hold on to her for as long as you possibly can. Thank you for making our visit so pleasant—I would definitely come back because of the excellent service;Ask for her when you come!“

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