Restaurants near Bal Harbour

“Superb. It's a restaurant group from Chicago. And it's one of the best restaurants in Miami and possibly the best Mediterranean restaurant at that. They also know how to make a cocktail. Go and enjoy.”

“The service was outstanding. The chicken paella was great. The lobster was extremely small, although I can't remember the last time I had lobster so maybe it was normal.”

“We were greeted with champagne upon arrival and the concierge took time to find us great dinner reservations. . We are Marriott members and were upgraded to an amazing suite; the room was fantastic, with two great balconies and two bathrooms. The lounge chairs on the balcony were very comfortable. The bathtub was a good size. The curtains blocked out all of the light, no gaps. The only things missing were a steamer and Bluetooth speaker. The room came with 2 butlers, which we never really understood their role. There was nightly turn down service. The pool areas were great, we never had to fight for a spot, but the pricey cocktails seemed to be lacking in alcohol. The breakfast buffet had a lot to offer. The ceviche and some of the other lunch options were very tasty, just overpriced as expected. All of this was fantastic, but the front desk customer service as well as phone service was lackluster.”

“One of my favorite places to eat when visiting Bal Harbour. Everything we ordered was delicious! Try the limoncello spritz. Just like they make it in the amalfi coast.”

“Food was fine, service was fine. Not as spectacular as I had hoped but certainly a solid dining choice. Atmosphere is relaxed but polished. Beautiful water front location. Lovely space to spend time with friends.”

“Delicious Vietnamese cuisine served in an unpretentious atmosphere. I’ve been here 3 times and menu items have changed a few times but mostly for the better. The pork ribs are way better today than the first time we visited. Please bring back the pork belly experience !! It was so much more interesting than the lamb experience. Better yet - serve both to make everyone happy! The grilled okra with the pork belly were so good !!”

“Our favourite bar of the weekend! We were able to get a seat walk-in on Friday night. The speakeasy decor and vibes were definitely there, and we enjoyed the cocktails we ordered.”

“One of the best restaurant experiences and some of the best food I’ve had in Miami anywhere. Servers were super knowledgeable and the food seemed well thought out and intentional. Pasta and appetizers were excellent, but dessert was not as exciting. Would definitely recommend!”

“Boia De is very special. Bold flavor with a delicate execution. The staff are humbly proud of their accomplishments and the Michelin Star is well deserved. The smoked muscles were delicious you need them. Steak tar-tar you must have. The gnocchi will change your life and the lamb could alter they ways of man & possibly change the world. No liquor needed here. Creative mixology with sake & Pilsner will make you happy. Desert a must… buy 2. Or 3.. Love from Mary & Peter”

“I love this place. Food, service, and atmosphere is amazing! Shout out to Sean! Always knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely recommend this spot to locals and tourist alike. Love love love! :)”

“Super delighted with this restaurant, the food has been fabulous, the baklava please delicious, I loved everything we ate. The restaurant is super cozy with decoration thought out in detail. Its owner is super attentive to everyone. And the waiters were very friendly, they gave us good service.”

“My family went for Sunday Brunch. Started with their perfect pretzel, then their appetizer spread which had a beautifully smoked salmon and crispy latkes. Followed by a chicken schnitzel that was a top 3 for us. Lastly we completed the meal with a sweet potato pancake and French onion burger. We paired that all with a German sav blanc. We were really impressed with the quality of the food. So comforting but definitely executed well. Prices are fair and we left absolutely stuffed. Perfect spot for brunch. Decor was cool and service was attentive and friendly. They also had some nice music playing. We left wondering when we’ll return.Kid-friendliness: Staff was nice and with the booths and relaxed atmosphere. Not too stimulating. Also no kid can refuse a chicken schnitzel.”

“We went to The Lion & The Rambler recently for my wife's birthday. I give this restaurant the highest praise possible. Exceeded all expectations. Strongly recommend, but only if you like astonishingly good food and great service. Compliments to Chef Michael!”

“From the moment you enter Café La Trova, you are surrounded by a vibrant atmosphere that promises an exceptional night. The staff welcomes you with a warmth that makes you feel at home. But what really stands out are their mojitos: a perfect mix of quality rum, freshness of mint, sweetness of sugar and just the right touch of lemon. Each sip is a trip to Havana without leaving the city. Without a doubt, Café La Trova is a hidden treasure that offers a sensory experience that will leave you wanting to come back for more.”

“I swear, anyone who complains about this restaurant must be a Mcdonalds fan. There is not one thing bad about this amazing experience other than the cost (which is worth every penny, but it makes our opportunity to visit limited) and the fact that since their opening they removed my favorite dish which was the soft crab bao bun. That was the most amazing thing I have ever tasted. It was soft, crsphy, hot, sweet and tangy all in one bite.We went for our 29th anniversary last night and it did not disappoint. Amazing cocktails and every bite is an adventure. It seems every restaurant has the typical factory food....fried calamari, steamed shrimp and on and on. There is not one thing on this menu that is typical. Each item has supremely high flavor and quality. One dish pictured, was Mimmos Burrata. It was so incredible I will dream about it until the next visit. Oh and the caromon donuts - honestly they take you to heaven.Environment and service could not be better.I am so happy that they reopened. Thank you for serving us in South Florida. We are blessed! Until next time!”

“we fly to Miami several times a year and always stop here to enjoy the food, atmosphere, and amazing service. Mauricio is “the best” every time he serves us !!!!!”

“Great food, music, mojito and dinners. Best Cuban food ever!! Everything about it makes you want to stay and visit all day. Thank you for making my birthday such a wonderful night that I will never forget.”

“This was quite literally one of the best meals I have ever had. The stracciatella with the truffle honey (don’t skip the truffle honey or you have already played yourself) was definitely a highlight. The weekend special (Bianco gnocchi with brown butter sauce) was absolutely divine, I came close to climax with each bite. Obviously the patatte fritte were amazing but I’m sure you know that already. We didn’t make a reservation but got there at 6 and were sat right away, it was outside which seemed like a nicer atmosphere than being inside. Do yourself a favor and get there early and with an appetite, you will absolutely not regret it.”

“O’Neal took great care of us! Greeting and sat down AS SOON AS we turned to walk thru the door. So friendly. Great drinks and food selections. Loved my omelette!Parking: Located directly beside the parking garage.”

“Abbalé Telavivian Kitchen is essential while in South Beach. All staff members are exceptional, they go above and beyond, making you feel like you're family. The atmosphere is gorgeous, they have an excellent wine selection and the food never disappoints!”

“Nice bustling atmosphere in the heart of Miami’s design district. While the sushi bar doesn’t have the aesthetic of an upscale sushi joint, the sushi itself is exceptionally good. A nice, relaxed, vibe, with no pretentiousness. Just quality sushi.”

“The star of the visit was obviously the food. The sandwiches were outstanding. The hype was strong and I was worried that there would be a let down. Worry not, if you enjoy a good cubano or just a sandwich fan, Sanguich is a required stop in Miami. Besides the cubano, the pan con lechon was also outstanding.Cafecito did not disappoint. Service was also great for how busy they were.The only downside to Sanguich is their location. Limited parking in front of the restaurant and the restaurant itself is tiny. Rent would be more, but they really should expand to a bigger location to be able to serve more diners quicker.”

“Service and food were great. Dining room is brightly lit. I guess it's better for the older demographic of diners. Lovely experience, definitely a must in South ”

“Carbone excelled in every aspect. The service was incredible and the staff was on point. The food was amazing and lived up to the hype. I’m already looking forward to my next visit at Carbone. I had this world class experience while I was having an awful night for reasons 100% unrelated to Carbone.”

“Great happy hour every day. Tasteful bites and a great service.Bartender was pleasant and knowledgeable, and recommendations were top-notch. Very vibrant place with a lot of traffic for friendly gathering.Keep it up .Ps. Manager pass by the table .”

“Junior...his service has always been top of the line....it is my second time at the restaurant...and coincidentally Junior treated us with his excellent service and knowledge...well done...and thank you thousand”

“The waitstaff, hostess and manager were very hospitable. Talked me through the menu and made suggestions based on my tastes. The fish and steak tacos were excellent but the corn esquite was outstanding. The traditional margarita was yummy and they only put salt on one side which is nice. I may have to go back a second time before I leave Miami.”
