“Last Miami Spice stop before end of month and a good way to end two months a fine dining and indulging in some of the best food in Miami. The restaurant is located at the St Regis which is just a stunning hotel and the entrance lobby is gorgeous. Can’t necessarily say the same for this restaurant because truth be told, it was a little underwhelming as far as the vibes is concerned. It might be too lit as far as the actual lighting is concerned or the mostly white aesthetic but it didn’t work for me, personally. Now as far as service and food, well that’s a different story. Yoel, the server, was most professional, helpful and knowledgeable but especially attentive at all times. So let’s discuss the food and drink options I opted for…ST REGIS GARDENS: wasn’t my favorite; very refreshing but lacking a good punch.APHRODITE: this one was way better, spicy, tasty and packing a good punch. That jalapeño and Tajín on the rim made the difference.GRILLED OCTOPUS: the kalamata olive sauce on the side is fire: octopus cooked to perfection with confit potatoes…spectacularBRANZINO A LA BRIAM: Branzino couldn’t have been cooked any better with golden potatoes on the side. Now the prawn pasta was an option and I looked at some photos on Yelp: portions were small, supposedly. When I tell you my friend showed up later on and her table ordered the pasta and I was mad at how delicious and generous the portion was but when does that happen? Fish was good but pasta was better, way better; I’d go for that instead.LEMON OLIVE CAKE: I’ve only tasted one other olive cake elsewhere and it was a little better. This one was on the drier side but not the worst.Once again, service was superb, food was really good but it wasn’t a memorable dining experience. They validate your valet parking ticket so you only pay $15 for parking plus tip so keep that in mind.“
“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.“
“Elena was amazingggg! Great atmosphere and ambiance right on Ocean Dr. Customer service was great . She assisted in helping with my food selection which was the French toast, side of eggs, and sausage (GREAT BREAKFAST CHOICE). I'd definitely recommend and I will be returning.“
“Last Friday I came to this restaurant and I was beyond impressed with the location and the beautiful ambiance. I want to remark the amazing attention and service from one of the servers , Sofia. She is so joyful and attentive. I recommend her and this place 100%. Definitely I’ll come back ??“
“Some of the best israeli/Mediterranean food I’ve ever had. Beet salad & kebab were amazing. The pita & dips were also incredible and I will definitely be returning. High quality, good service, and beautiful location.Kid-friendliness: Great for family gatheringsWheelchair accessibility: One floor“
“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!“
“I really NEVER write reviews unless it's really bad, or really good. For our first time in Miami and restaurant to eat. All great things to say about this place. Everything from the ambiance, food, and service from Giuseppe, staff, down to the manager Allegra. If you're on the fence, just do it. If your experience will be the same as ours, you won't regret it.“
“Spoiler: I’m Italian, and I was craving some authentic Italian food while in Miami.Corallo definitely scratched the hitch! I got the Bucatini Cacio e Pepe and left the place full and happy. The service is fast and friendly, Francesco took great care of me and Giuseppe made sure I didn’t feel alone while eating alone. Really yummy food and a great vibe!“
“We had a great experience dining here. The staff is extremely nice and helpful, our waiter Heri had great cocktail suggestions for us. The food is exceptionally good for the price, it was an overall great dinner and we're happy to have found this place!Parking: Parking fee at the hotel is $20 for the restaurant, but you can park on the street one corner away for less.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for wheelchairs.“
“One of the greatest experiences I’ve had in Miami! Everything from the staff, to the food, the belly dancer & everything in between was supreme! Would 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful scenic restaurant with amazing food! Will definitely be coming back :)“
“The food was delicious and the service was very good. My only complaint is that the music was very loud. On the other hand, I love dogs but I don't think this restaurant has an adequate space to be pet friendly. The table next to us had a dog that cried all night and the irresponsables parents did nothing. The atmosphere became stressful and we ate fast in order to leave, we were not happy to see the dog's suffering.“
“Amazing spot with beautiful Greek indoors and great service. Must check it out if in coral gables. I am in love with their Turkish flatbread and the babka pudding! Get a reservation because it's tough to get a table when you walk in. You can probably skip the chicken shawarma and try something else - it wasn't that flavorful.“
“Loudest music ever! They had some musicians and a super loud speaker that blasted it so loud it was annoying. Sitting upstairs is untenable. Try to get a quiet table. It's ideal if you don't want to talk with your dining companions. That said, service was great. Food was good we had a salad, zaatar and one of the lamb-stew cooked in pottery with bread. It was awesome. One cocktail was $20.. good but a bit much.“
“I must admit I was not too thrilled about the drive to Miami from palm beach county. The drive was absolutely worth it! I lived in NYC for 30 years, and my friends growing up are Greek. I have been lucky enough to enjoy home cooking from my buddies mother's. I was transported back to my youth eating some of the most delicious creations that came from that great country. Highly recommend it's worth the drive.“
“I LOVE turkish food so I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. The food was amazing, it really made our dinner special, and the service was fantastic. Special thanks to the chef as well! My boyfriend and I enjoyed your delicious meals, so 5 STARS from me. Thank you sooo much!“
“Exceptional dining experience! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The ambiance was cozy yet sophisticated, setting the perfect tone for a memorable meal. Each dish was expertly crafted, bursting with flavors that delighted our taste buds. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring every need was met. Overall, a truly remarkable culinary journey that earns this restaurant a well-deserved five stars!“
“Absolutely the best experience I've had in a long time. Every item was perfect. The Caesar salad was beautiful and delicious. The calamari was fried to perfection. The chicken lasagna was great. And the Tiramisu...there are no words to describe how amazing their homemade dessert was. It was obvious everything is made from scratch. The staff was friendly, venue beautiful and the music sealed the deal. The prices can't be beat either!“
“We were at a wine event in the convention center. This was a quick walk over and we decided to try it. The food was really good. My gnocchi were spot on and the other 3 diners really enjoyed their meals. The interior is super nice with a clean modern take on art deco interior using soft pinks and white; low key ambiance in the best way. Service was great and I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area.“
“This has been one of the best Miami Spice menus around town. Everything was delicious from our two appetizers to the perfectly cooked steak and delicious rice. Our server Chris was also excellent. I highly recommend it you will not be disappointed. The value is excellent. The only complaint I have is that they charge you $3 p/p for tap water. Never experienced that before since water is regularly free. But other than that it’s a fantastic restaurant“
“Lira Beirut is a good Lebanon restaurant with tasty food.The venue was a bit too loud and even-though our waitress was very attentive and helpful , she kept forgetting bringing our drinks.We will definitely visit again but ask for a quiet table this time.“
“One word, BEST! Mint Beirut served my wife, of Lebanese descent, and I the best Lebanese dinner we have ever been served-PERIOD.Please do not be thrown off by the carry out/takeout reference, there are a couple three-top tables and the quality of the food offsets the limited seating.Melissa and Melissa’s mom…THANK YOU for the BEST meal of our trip to Miami!!!Parking: There is a parking lot behind the storefront and a grocery store lot just 2-doors (100 yards) down if you miss the entrance.“
“This is a hidden gem! Had the most amazing authentic Mediterranean meal. I’ve been coming to Miami forever eating and waiting for tables at the big name kosher restaurants but this place was amazing and didn’t have to wait for a table. From the moment I was greeted and seated to chatting with Eden, owner/chef, on the way out this wasn’t just a meal it was an experience.I’ve been following this establishment on social media for the longest and couldn’t wait to visit and try the foods they keep posting and I was not disappointed! The meat hummus was perfectly spiced and delicious, the beef stew with couscous and soup had to be broken down to evaluate so let’s start with the soup, absolutely best soup I’ve ever had and got my would even before I added the couscous for the authentic taste. The couscous itself sifted by hand right before it was served was amazing and the texture was perfect then paired it with the most tender juiciest perfectly sliced beef stew made this dish superb and the wow feeling with each bite. By e meatballs must’ve been simmering for hours giving it that overnight color and flavor paired with the caramelized onions and rice was better then it looked. The Arraya had a perfect blend of spices and meat to pita ratio was delicious. Most authentic deserts of sphinge, Knaffa and hammsa cookie was the perfect way to end this amazing meal. Bottom line is I felt like I was eating in Eden’s home kitchen with the authentic food made with heart and soul.Would be back again and again! Can’t wait to try their full Friday menu for Shabbat take away food.“
“Went for a late dinner. Ordered several plates to share (chicken shawarma, pickled veggies, greek salad, tzatziki) and everything was excellent. Cocktail list had some very good options. Tzatziki with the pita bread was a star of what we ordered. Super fresh and flavorful.“
“Amazing. The cutest place ever; the decor is so pretty we took sooo many photos. The food was really good; I was surprised. I wish I ordered more. Spicy rigatoni, calamari, and mocktails were just perfect. Though it could've been a little less expensive,. I recommend it if you're grabbing a bite in the evening with a few people or a date. Our server was the best; shoutout to you, Abby! Engagement and service were really nice; she described the different foods and helped us decide what we would like. Overall, I loved the place and will be coming back.“
“Superb authentic Mediterranean / middle eastern food, We had the filet mignon kebab, the Habibi shawarma an and the Vibe special falafel sandwich served on just-out-of-the-oven pita bread.The guys at the counter are amazing super attentive to our need, they even brought some freebies to the table. The place is a hidden gem if you like Mediterranean food“
“We stopped here for dinner last night, but didn't have reservations. The hostess offered having a drink at the bar while we waited, and we ended up just ordering food with the bartender. We are so glad we did! She was very attentive, helpful, and friendly. The food was incredible and exactly what we were hoping for. We ordered the mezza platter, a Mediterranean salad with falafel, and the lamb shish kebab. The mezza platter is more than enough for two people and would be great to share as a group. The salad was fresh, crisp, and had a light dressing. The falafel were on point, crispy on the outside, moist on the inside (highly recommend!). The lamb was good, but my husband wished he ordered it medium rare instead of medium. We ended the meal with a few Turkish coffees that were perfect for winding down the meal. If we ever come back to Miami, this will be on the top of our list!Vegetarian options: Get the falafel with the mixed meze platter, you will not regret it.“
“Yalla Motek, located inside Aventura Mall, offers a mouthwatering lamb shawarma that is perfectly done. The tender and flavorful lamb is expertly cooked, creating a delightful blend of spices and textures. The restaurant provides ample seating, making it a great spot to enjoy your meal comfortably. If you're in the mood for a delicious and satisfying shawarma experience, Yalla Motek is the place to go at Aventura Mall.“
“This place rocks grilled meats. If you like authentic Persian food, eat here. We came with Iranian friends who advised this was the real deal and it did not disappoint. If you get a meat platter, the bread underneath, soaked with au jus is mouthwatering. The eggplant, yogurt dishes, and everything here is yummy. Save room for dessert because they share the place with a cake bakery that is unbelievably good.“
“Wonderful experience at the Baia beach club for dinner! Our server was absolutely great, very kind, friendly, and helpful. The atmosphere was beautiful—the view over the water of the skyline was beautiful.I got the burrata salad and truffle fries—so good.Definitely recommend for a special experience and a good meal.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options on the menu“
“For my mother's 49th birthday, we decided to visit a restaurant that had been highly recommended to us. She absolutely loved it! One dish that stood out to us was the flammable lobster - it was cooked to perfection and had a unique flavor that we had never tasted before. The mac and cheese was also quite favorable and left us wanting more. The mushroom escargot was a light and dynamic appetizer that we couldn't resist. And let's not forget about the mash puree - it was so delightful, buttery and had the perfect texture that complemented the main course. Overall, it was an amazing dining experience and we highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable meal.“
“This restaurant is excellent— an incredible experience!! The ambiance and decor are gorgeous — you immediately feel transported to another realm. It is fancy, so dress up! Pros: Our server was attentive, which is rare in Miami these days, and gave us great recommendations. The food and cocktails were delicious and a good value, especially for Miami. The owner came up and greeted us and told us a little bit about the place. The live music was a great addition. We will definitely be back.“
“This is where upscale meets relaxed and comfortable! We happened to be walking by The Drexel and noticed people enjoying their evening on the patio. It was busy and we managed to find a few seats at the bar. As we had dinner already, we ordered drinks and asked the bar tender what might be good for dessert. He recommended the chocolate soufflé. It was the most decadent and delightful dessert! It is plenty for two people to share. Our experience was so rich we decided to reserve a table for dinner the next evening. We hope you enjoy this South Beach treasure!“
“Listen!!!!!!!!!I am Middle Eastern, so I know what I’m talking about ? This is one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants I’ve ever been to. The portions are big, the prices are so low, and the food is amazing. I got the Lebanese delight and the chicken Shawarma bowl. All of this was $25.“
“Visited for Saturday brunch which is extremely busy but the restaurant area was not crowded.Reservations recommended especially if you want to sit outside. There is a fee for access to pool which must be bought in advance. Easy to check in with reservation and we were seated immediately. Staff was outstanding (we had Katty as our server). The menu has Mediterranean cuisine and I had the kebab which I felt was a little dry (I requested additional sauce). And we opted for bottomless Definitely recommend the cinnamon roll which is shareable. Did go to pool party but sitting outside you will see the pool area and hear the music (which was a vibe). Pricing is $$“
“"Exceptional experience at this restaurant! The Kebabs were a culinary delight – perfectly grilled and bursting with authentic flavors. The warm hospitality added an extra layer of charm to our dining, making it a memorable visit. Highly recommended for those seeking an exquisite taste of Mediterranean cuisine!"“
“Es mi tercera vez y me encanta la comida , las croquetas de ham son deliciosas , el arroz Socarrats es mi preferido , Salt and Vinegar Cured Anchovies deliciosas , e probado más cosas y toda me an gustado . El servicio me encanta tienen un buen trato el lugar me fascina , en fin seguiré volviendo , y siempre lo e recomendado. Muchas gracias.“
“I had lunch at aura this morning and it definitely exceeded my expectations, we had Sarah as a server and she provided us with charming and great service. The NY steak is a Must try!!! We had a great time since we sat down till we left the restaurant. Definitely a spot you wanna try on your visit in south beach. Food was delicious and the convenience provided by the location just on the middle of the Lincoln shops is just a 10 out of 10. Thank you and definitely coming back.“
“Big thank you to Brian Barakat for introducing me to TUR Kitchen last weekend. It was an incredible dining experience from start to finish. Impeccable service, great appetizers for sharing, incredible food - a real find! Every thing was delicious. I highly recommend it!“
“My wife and I found this place on Yelp. Took a chance and we were absolutely blown away! Every flavor complimented each other, and in combinations neither of us were used to. Our server Carlos was very knowledgable and helped us pick excellent dishes and drinks. The Tomahawk steak was out of this world, as well as the Tiramisu… smoked along with home-made ice cream. Delicious and the presentation was amazing. Will definitely come back here next time we’re in town!“
“Delicious food, the menu is full of amazing options which made choosing very hard so worth a repeat visit to try more. Our server was welcoming and helpful. We were given plenty of time to browse the menu and offered help if we needed it. Food came in really good time.“
“On vacation in Miami I found this wonderful Spanish food restaurant and that's where I went. As always, without knowing if the food is really like in Spain (where I'm from), and to my pleasant surprise, I ate a seafood paella and tumaca bread on the side, and it was still spectacular. Very good paella! 200% recommended. And the service was wonderful, lovely staff. I recommend to everyone who wants to try real, good Spanish food. If I return to Miami, I will definitely repeat!“
“Ordered pick up for lunch via Ubereats and ordered the Chicken Shashlik. Located in a plaza near the mall so there was plenty of parking. I've heard good things about this place and was excited to try. The inside of the restaurant was gorgeous and the perfect IG worthy spot to go to. I would love to try eating at the restaurant next time and there is also an outdoor area. Even though my order was to go the food was beautifully presented in the to go container. The veggies included in the dish were fresh and tasty. The chicken and hummus was delicious and not too overly salty. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the price point is rather high. My plate was $26 and the portion was pretty small so just be aware if you order from here that most dishes will cost you over $25.“
“One word…Amazing. Visited 5 o’clock on Thursday and there was no one in the restaurant. For such a delicious restaurant it should be packed to the brink. I got a gyro while my friend got a gyro platter. All I can say is delicious. Never had such good Mediterranean food ever in my life. Highly suggest to everyone. At the end they gave us a Hershey kiss. The waiter was so nice she had a conversation with us. Never met such a kind and caring waiter. Highly suggest.“
“Excellent Greek food. Melchor and Ricardo advised us very well with the menu. The lamb and pork gyro are a spectacle. 100% recommended. We arrived at 11:30 p.m. and the best service. Without a doubt an excellent option. They also have a vegan menu and have parking.“
“La comida es excelente los platos de seafood muy recomendables los tragos 5 puntos y los postres estaban secos viejos sin sabor no los recomiendo no tienen helado pero apesar de eso disfrutamos un viernes desde las 7 hasta las 11 en familia con camareros 100% atentos fue un placer“
“Frank was our waiter for the night and his service was exceptional. He gave us great recommendations and we were excited to try all these new dishes. Food came out in a timely fashion and everything was delicious. Franks service was incredible through the night.“
“Alex our server was absolutely phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable about the food he served & passionate about it. My boyfriend and I shared an experience together while at this restaurant because of him, not just a meal. Not only was the service impeccable but the food was incomparable to anything we’ve ever had. I don’t think anything will ever top the food. Delicious!“
“We went for my boyfriends bday and food was amazing. He is Azeri and loved the food, he said the hummus was like at home. When we made the reservation we checked the bday box under occasion. However, he didn’t get a complimentary dessert for his bday as it is common in multiple restaurants in Miami, and he wasn’t greeted by the staff. We don’t understand why they gave us the option to mention the occasion. In terms of food it was 10/10 and drinks were strong and tasty.Kid-friendliness: Staff was friendly with kids from other tables :)“
“Dining at Miraki in Miami was an unforgettable experience, marked by exceptional service and delectable cuisine. From the moment we walked in, the main host greeted us with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for a wonderful evening. Our waiter was equally impressive, ensuring our dining experience was seamless and enjoyable.We indulged in the large grilled mixed dish, which was cooked to perfection, and the lemon potatoes were a delightful accompaniment, bursting with flavor. The highlight of the evening, however, was the unexpected yet highly appreciated gesture from one of the waiters. Despite the fact that the wait for our meal didn't bother us, we were pleasantly surprised to receive a complimentary dessert as an apology for the delay. This thoughtful act of kindness added a wonderful touch to our already fantastic meal.Miraki truly goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction, making it a must-visit destination in Miami with a great balance in value, great tasty food and service. The combination of excellent service, exquisite food, and the staff's attentiveness to guest experience makes this cozy restaurant stand out. I wholeheartedly recommend Miraki to anyone looking for a dining experience that they'll remember fondly.“
“One of my favorites in Bal Harbour! Aba has such a beautiful and inviting atmosphere.The food is incredible - from the muhammara and spicy garlic dip (served with the most amazing bread) to the short rib. Just a truly amazing experience overall.“
