“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.”
“Excellent meal and dining experience. My wife and I really miss the old Shula’s 347 and have been waiting for a new go-to restaurant to open in the South Miami/Pinecrest area. We found it…in the same location. The Caesar salad and [not so] spicy tuna tartare were an excellent start complemented by the roasted chicken dish with broccolini on the side. Each plate was as good or better than the last, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was terrific. We even had an unexpected Chef Jeremy Ford sighting as he presented a beautiful Tomahawk Ribeye to a neighboring table. Can’t wait to go back!”

Restaurants by Cuisine
“We’ve hosted multiple work and personal events here and love it. Finally, taking the time to write a long-time-coming review because they went above and beyond expectations, even beyond their usual excellent service. We were planning on hosting a wedding welcome cocktail outdoor at the brewery. The weather turned for the worse and Nick and Kelly quickly arranged for us to use Threefold Cafe instead. We were able to have a beautiful, intimate, private event at the cafe. The bride and groom could not have been happier and the out-of-town guests had an amazing time. The beer and wine selection was perfect. Food was delicious. Staff was attentive and warm. I could not recommend them more 10/10.”
“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.”
“Muy buena la atención de Julito las chicas muy lindas en especial la Dominicana y la comida excelente lo único que falto fue ver a Marita pero será para la próxima vez”

“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!”

“Amazing, the food is great the service is fantastic, the atmosphere is nice and the location is perfect. We went for carnival on the mile and they were well staffed. The drinks were good. The recommendations were all good and everything we ate was well prepared . I would recommend this restaurant for Miami it is a gem, even dessert which we had the lava cake which was to die for.Kid-friendliness: Ask for kids opinions, there are plenty.”

“My friends and I visit GROU @ Merrick Park weekly and we absolutely love it. We’ve tried almost every coffee drink on their menu (including matcha latte) and have enjoyed them all. Their food options are creative, healthy and delicious also.In addition to the great menu, they have convenient work spaces and a conference room that can be rented for team meetings.This place is a gem!”
“Honestly no idea why this restaurant has, relatively speaking, poor reviews. We came here for lunch, and the service was impeccable, design and ambience spot on, and (most importantly) food was delicious. Can't wait to come back for a proper dinner.”
“The food was delicious. The dishes absolutely too smallThe service outstanding but I feel for tge server. Only one for the entire restaurant.Atmosphere. The Peruvian music covers all types. Here we heard mexican, argentinian… anything but peruvian.”

“Breakfast and lunch. The food was delicious, the ambience was cozy and service excellent. My party of 3 all agreed the music was too loud. We asked for it to be lowered a bit and they complied. A happy customer always returns. Looking forward to the next brunch.”
“Came for the food… Stayed for Jenny…. Then came back for Jenny….and food. But mostly Jenny. She’s the best person ever. We have our Sunday family time with her in Coral Gables. But, she’s sometimes at Brickell. Cheers!”
“The truth is, a very good experience in general, Nico, very professional and respectful, my thanks to everyone! As a suggestion, more Sabina less Bad Bunny in the background ”
“Best and most authentic Greek food in Miami. And this is coming from someone who spends summers in Greece. Extensive menu with the comfort foods and fresh fish options. Also great sides and dips.”
“We came here last minute on a Friday night. Not busy at all, and the plantain chips and Guac were absolutely fantastic and better than any “starter” Guac and chips I’ve ever had. Then my entree was a pork and a stack taco. The pork was fine BUT THE STEAK TACO. ? Honestly, quite possibly the best taco I’ve ever had. The aioli was exquisite, the steak was tender. I don’t write many reviews, but when food knocks my socks off, I do. And this did.”
“Food is always impeccable. Recommend the meatball appetizer and the wood grilled pork chop. The desserts are the perfect size and not too sweet to where it's repulsive. Matthew was super nice and made great suggestions for drinks.”
“Great neighborhood restaurant with extensive menu options! Food, service, atmosphere are outstanding! Manny, Marcos and the rest of the staff make you feel welcomed and part of a family…highly recommend this gem! Thank you for making our brunch/reunion so special.”
“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!”
“Just I recommended put candles in the tables inside , we don’t see the menu and the music little low !!! The rest is perfect, is my poor opinion!!!! Thanks!!!!”
“First time at Sospiro! Will definitely come back. Loved the artichokes, the zucchini carpaccio and the nougat semifreddo for dessert. Ordered the french flight and rose flight, wine selection was impressive and tasty. Discovered that Loire valley wines can actually be delicious!”
“quite literally the best ramen I've ever had, to the point where it's ruined my local restaurant back home. what a pleasant surprise at how amazing the food is here! The staff was friendly, however, it's kind of unorthodox.. on a busy day, you need to just sign in on a piece of paper and then go wait outside. it was my first time going to this restaurant and there's no one there to explain it to you. so luckily I read the directions and understood. I understand why they do it because it's not enough room for standing and waiting. so it worked out well and the staff was very on top of it. it was just a little weird learning to do it by yourself. in fact while I was there I ended up helping a line of customers that were waiting for help and we're never greeted and then I understand the paper instructions, but 100% hands down the food makes up for it.Vegetarian options: you need to ask for the vegetarian broth.”
“Rene was very good and attentive every time ... This is the best place ! … We always come back here … everything was awesome in this place ... .... ........................”
“Great atmosphere, very reasonable prices on the cigars, good drinks and music. They have outdoors area with TVs, very cozy. It doesn't get packed either. Best day is Wednesday.”
“Nice patio outside, the food was great! We tried the Peruvian rice with smoked pork and plantain and it was pretty good! The fish ceviche was wonderful as well, loved the calamari on it. Checked in on Yelp and got a free glass of wine. Some servers only spoke Spanish so they had to get another server to translate. Other than that we really enjoyed the food!”
“Best Persian food in Miami!! This place is amazing every time I order or dine in, never a bad experience. 10/10 service and food, and the sauces are amazing!! I highly recommend this spot to all fam/”

“Came here with two friends on a Wednesday night to celebrate a birthday and new job. This place is pricey and generally requires a reservation weeks in advance, but it's a really nice experience! The space is beautiful, food is delicious, and service is excellent. Since we were a group of 3 they sat us at the end of the table, so we didn't really get to see the food being prepared which was a bit of a disappointment. I'd say keep that in mind if you plan on going in a group. Shingo isn't a place I necessarily need to come back to, but I'm happy I got to try it and I think it's worth a visit if you enjoy sushi.”
“Sooooo good! The ambiance and service are great, and the pizzas are delicious (especially the star pizza). If you are vegan or otherwise dairy-free, definitely come here to get your "cheese" fix!”
“Amazing Food! Impeccable Service. MARCONE made our visit over the top. So charming and friendly! He made sure we were taken care of! A true treasure. Will recommend to everyone.”
“Burgatti's is a very good, known quantity. Food is very goood - pastas are really their specialty. Chicken saltimbocca was okay, not special. Penne funghi excellent. taglietelle carbonara very good. Their toast is the best.”
“My boyfriend and I went here for our anniversary and we were so happy with our choice!! The waiters were very friendly and even treated us with a complimentary table side dessert cocktail as a celebration for us. The lamb meatballs were amazing as well as the Tagliatelle with mixed wild mushrooms and caviar. We will definitely be coming back here!”
“One of the best classic Miami Italian restaurants in Coral Gables. HeService is perfect, the food is incredible and it is a restaurant that you cannot miss if you visit Miami. Don't forget to start with a good drink at the bar before going to the dining room.”
“The flamenco show was amazing, and the environment as well. Nonetheless, I believe they are short on staff. 3 servers for multiple tables, I asked for a cocktail drink twice and at the end, I never got it. Other than that, good Spanish cuisine and ambiance.P.S. the pimentones rellenos de camarones, cordero, and croquetas de bacalao is a must!!”
“We loved holding our health and wellness lunch CLE at Macondo! The chef greeted our guests personally and was attentive. The food was plated beautifully and was delicious. It took us back to the culinary tastes of Colombia! We look forward to more events at Macondo.”
“Had my daughters baby shower with about 40 people we had the restaurant to ourselves the food was amazing and the service was top notch. Great for parties or a special occasion or a casual date night . Love it!”
“As a foodie, I give Chef Jimenez and his new restaurant the maximum of stars. I have taken other foodies and chefs for business meetings and we have all agreed that his “sazón” is perfectly balanced and executed. Kudos to the owner for a superb accomplishment of latin American fusion cuisine. It’s the type of food that leaves you craving to try more of his creations.”
“Great corner location on Miracle Mile with outdoor seating, too. Large bar with TV screens . Indoor seating arrangement was very nice, with all tables being booths. Good music. The food was delicious . Friendly and attentive service. The whole menu was reasonably priced . Altogether, a highly satisfying experience that we will repeat soon.Parking: Paid parking lot right behind Miracle Mile. Lot 3 is accessible from Aragon with a walk thru to Miracle. We paid 9$ for 2 hrs”
“We had the excellent opportunity to visit Sea Grill for dinner last Sunday and it was without a doubt the best choice... We ate the grilled octopus and Saganaki, as a main course sea bream and turbot, the dessert put the icing on the cake, we ate Milopita ... the attention from José and Steven was excellent .... we will definitely return and we recommend it 100%”
“This is in my opinion the best sushi place in Miami -as a Sushi lover I have been to some of the most fancy places in Miami (like Osaka) and the most humble ones and nothing beats Kae. Food is delicious and the ingredients fresh. It’s on the pricey side but the experience is totally worth it.”
“All very rich. I always order takeout for breakfast at work. Sometimes they are a little distracted when it comes to serving but nothing out of this world... oh and I ordered 4 cheese cakes with potatoes and they gave me tequeños... they were still delicious.”
“5 Star service. Matt was beyond exceptional! His recommendations and overall knowledge of the menu were impressive. Thank you, Matt, for the Malbec reco. Highly recommend this steakhouse if visiting Miami. Dessert presentation was on point and tasted out of this world!”
“We ended up here every morning during our 4 day stay! We tried a lot, but my favorite was their breakfast fried rice dish, The Emperor Nasi Goreng. The coffee is incredible, the avo roasts divine, and the service is super friendly and genuine! A great breakfast stop!”

“Enjoyed a large breakfast brunch Turkey Dressing dinner Cinnamon Rolls pancakes with pecan pie and iced coffee before starting work with Uber Eats and making deliveries riding bicycle around townKid-friendliness: Provides great service for families with children and very patient and helpful and caring”
“Everything was good. One issue I take with this store is there are no electrical outlets anywhere in the dining room. UM students probably don't buy much food or coffee because of this.”
“In the heart of coconut grove, The Last Carrot is a local community gem. I’ve been for their freshly made juices hundreds of times, my go-to’s are the Mixed Veggie Juice and the Green Juice. They also have delicious and healthy options for lunch- their Pita’s are my favorite. This is the most down to earth, kind and not pretentious, health foods store I’ve been to in Miami. Thank you to the staff for the welcoming environment and swift service, always.Parking: Many people walk here so they usually have at least 3-4 spots available for parking throughout the day!”
“I’m not the biggest fan of sushi, but my family are. . However, I really enjoy this restaurant. The house salad is delicious and service is efficient and friendly.”

“Great place for coffee and some delicious food. Great staff, service and nice environment. We highly recommend it. I love the music and the interior design as well.”
“I LOVE Miami's Best Pizza. Been eating it since the late 1970s. I don't think it tastes quite the same as when they were in their original location. The crust has gotten thinner (I prefer it thicker, chewier like it was), and the pizzas have gotten smaller :/ #thankspandemicinflation. The taste is still amazing but . . . the consistency is also off. Sometimes it's just too dark, burnt spots on the bottom. IDK I think if you go too early, the ovens are still too hot? #speculation ANYHOW. I LOVE it. It tastes amazing regardless. The Staff is friendly and it feels like the old place with the arch and the window and the color scheme. If it didn't make me fat, I'd eat it all the time. Mmmmmm pepperoni pizza grease! The garlic pizza cut in squares is the bomb!Parking: Drive past and pull in on the right for free parking (spaces are marked ("Miami's Best Parking Space")”

“WOW! We were absolutely blown away by Madruga and are so happy we made time to stop by! We ordered a mocha latte, Spanish tortilla, bacon quiche, breakfast sandwich, lemon poppy seed muffin, and lemon polenta cake, all we could say was YUM!! Our expectations were highly surpassed with everything we tried. Service was just as great, everybody was kind and patient while we ordered and our food came out fast! If you’re in the area, or even if you aren’t, visit Madruga!!!!”

“Coffee is on point, best in the Gables! The baristas are always friendly. Nice laid back vibe to get some work done. You absolutely need to try the banana bread.”
“Love this ice cream unfortunately most of the flavors from the main establishment won’t be found at the store unless you buy a whole pint!Cheaper to get their buy 3 pints 1 free deal than coming all the way here to their new shop.Parking: Parking is at the back of the establishment. If you don’t see the tiny entrance you will easily miss it! Big trucks will be challenging!”
“Fernando a great owner. I am a musician and when you walk in you get taken a back by memorabilia. Photos of bands and rock stars, too many to mention. We sat and talked with Fernando for an hour, well maybe 10 minutes. It was just after the "Lunch Rush." We had two shakes that were superb ?. Totally recommend stopping in for a great little restaurant. ?”
“Incredible spot. Sweet and savory crepes and croissants are delicious. Fine ingredients. Excellent coffee quality and selection. Indoor/outdoor seating. Staff is great. The General Manager (Maren I think her name is) has such a gift for hospitality. Wonderful spot to relax and enjoy breakfast with none of the Miami Miaminess.”
“Today was my first experience for lunch and it was absolutely delicious!! Christian was outstanding with the explanation of what’s on the menu, etc. I will definitely return!! The Fall Harvest bowl was outstanding!!”
“Had an amazing evening at Sushi Kong, owned by the delightful Javier Zamora! ?? From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and friendliness. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was incredibly hip and updated. Sushi Kong is a must-visit for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. #SushiKong #FoodieHeaven ??”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This location is down the road from my apartment, and I’m so blessed that it happens to be a Starbucks where I always receive fast and friendly service. ♥️I will say whoever designed the outside layout seems like they were working with a very limited amount of space. The entrance is at an incline and with traffic, it can be difficult to get in and out- especially if there’s a long line since the parking lot is so small. No issues as long as the line moves efficiently which has always been the case for my visits.”
“Crystal and Melissa making great sandwiches and offering splendid service but dang it was too hot to dine in. Get the AC fixed and I’ll be dining in next time for sure.”
“The nicest staff! I ordered to another location and Richard and the young man working the pick up counter didn’t even bag an eye! They really helped me fix my order and made it perfectly! Awesome team here! Coming here again just for the great ”
“Hey there! I just wanted to share my amazing experience at this Burger King in Miami. It was seriously the best one I've ever been to! The food was absolutely delicious and the crew was incredibly friendly and kind. I have to give a special shoutout to Alonso - he went above and beyond to help me out with my order, even though there was a little mix-up. He was so helpful and didn't complain at all - something you don't always come across in fast food places.If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend checking out this Burger King. You won't be disappointed!”
“We loved this atypical restaurant for us as French people on vacation. We were able to choose our place and opted for the terrace. There is a TV with a football match. The food is very good and the service very pleasant. We recommended this restaurant to a group of French people on vacation in Miami because it really deserves a visit. This is our favorite of the ones we tested. Thank you for this good time.”

Fine Dining
“Had a great date night with a friend. It was our first time there. A shout out to Dennis our waitperson. He was engaging, prompt, and knew that line between being present to speak to our needs without being overbearing. We really enjoyed meeting him. This is another one of Olympia's upscale restaurants. You're greeted with a lot of noise as you enter. The acoustics shoot a lot of patron noise to the front door so be sure to sit on the raised platform near the bar or in the second room of you want a quieter experience. I had the fish and chips and my friend had the chicken pot pie. Both were very good. You'd think living in the Pacific NW good fish and chips would be served at most restaurants. Nope. It's almost always prepared with too heavy a batter. Uptown Grill crafted a delicious version that was breaded just right and fried to perfection. The chicken pot pie looked delicious and my friend said it was very good.The one negative element was my martini. I asked for a dirty martini with a twist of lemon and olives. The drink was fine but the presentation was lacking. One olive and a twist dropped into the glass. If they charge 12 bucks for a drink I'd hope they'd craft its appearance to match the cost. Didn't stop me from ordering second, though. I was thirsty!!”
“I held a private event here with a party of 35 and I honestly could not have asked for a more perfect experience. The service was amazing, the staff was more than accommodating, and the food was spectacular. Everyone at the event has to mention how great the experience was. I could not have asked for a better place to hold such a special celebration and would highly recommend Il Duomo to anyone looking for an event space with catering, not to mention dining there on a normal night. Truly spectacular!”
“Very stylish place, delicious dishes. The hall was full of people on Wednesday evening, making it noisy and uncomfortable to talk. But overall, everything is great.”
“My husband and I always try to make it out to Ruth’s Chris once a year for a special occasion, and this time did not disappoint! We ordered the Porterhouse, which was cooked to perfection and the flavor was excellent! And Danny, our server, was incredible, catering to our every need.”
“Hilda gave us a wonderful service, the food was amazing and the decoration and environment were impecable. We will surely come back on our next trip to the States!”
“We ate here recently with my in-laws and the food was excellent. I started with the beet salad, which had a small wedge of aged goat cheese in a walnut crust. For my main, I had the sea scallops which were fantastic. We shared a few desserts. The grand marnier souffle and chocolate souffle were yummy, but I liked the apple tart "tatin" best. Service was good. The restaurant itself is small, clean, and comfortable.”

Cheap Eats
“Great paletas!! A week ago we went to the Coral Gables location. Great service, the guy guide us about the different options we had, and his recommendations were awesome. Today we went to the Hollywood location. Very different experience. The paletas still great but the experience wasn’t good. The store looks boring, the guy was eating, and he wasn’t very kind.”
“We stopped at this place to have a coffee... which was very good, strong like my husband enjoys them. I had the vegetable avocado t'aidât which was yummy. Really friendly staff!”
“Parking: This place has the best açai bowls we have had in Miami. Very, very close to the ones we have eaten in Brazil. The real thing.They have an ample selection of bowls and of Açai smoothies.

“This was my second time at a Shake Shack. My first time was a couple of years back at another location and honestly, I was not impressed with the service or the food. Today, my mom was craving a Strawberry Shake so I was looking for a place to take her and SS popped up on the search. I thought I would give it another try this time (near UM) at another location and I am so glad I did. As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed by Chereka and Debbie. We placed our order and much to our surprise, it was delicious!!I had the Korean Burger and my mom had the Avocado bacon. We also had fries, lemonade, Strawberry and Chocolate shakes.But honestly, the reason I am writing this review is because of the exceptional service these two women provided. They would go from table to make sure everyone had what they needed and shared their beautiful smiles and their lovely disposition with every person they encountered. They should both be recognized for their exceptional service and that establishment is fortunate to have them there. I will definitely be back!!!Vegetarian options: I noticed they had a vegan chocolate shake”
“Went for chicken kitchen but the guy working there caught my attention with a sample, and I’m very grateful he did. Food tastes fresh, the portions are large, the price is cheap and the sauce is to die for. Forget chicken kitchen, this spot is it.”
“What a great spot! Books & Books always has something going on: comedy night, spoken poetry events, and a plethora of other events. The cafe's food never disappoints either, and their happy hour deals are amazing! $5 wine and select apps, and plenty of seating both inside and outside at the patio/bar. Service is wonderful too; everyone is super attentive and kind. This is probably my favorite Books & Books location--the ambiance is unbeatable!”
“Excellent pizza & wings. We're staying at a local hotel & wanted a quick dinner. Quick, fresh, hot & delish! Very friendly delivery driver as well. Don't hesitate to try them.”
“Great study spot! Or even to catch up on work. They offer certain food items, coffee and teas! The ambience is fairly quiet and most of the people here are trying to get some sort of work done! If you are capital one card holder then you get 50% off your order. I usually rent a private room which is FREE of charge and hard to find here in Miami! You just have to make sure you make a reservation ahead of time since they will check!”
“What a great place to eat! Consistently great food and service. Highly recommend build your own plate as well as Cajun fries and puncho burger. Also affordable in a costly neighborhood l. What a great place.”
“We ate breakfast here twice during our trip to Miami. The food was delicious. We had cuban coffee, fried eggs, sweet plantains, black beans, palomita steak, bacon, french fries, and mango and pineapple frosty drinks. Service was top notch. Norma and Arsenio waited on us. They were corteous, kind, very accomodating, and Rafa, the Chef, prepared us the most delicious breakfast. If you are in the area and are looking for a Latin Breakfast, you have to stop here. We can't wait to be back. I have celiac disease and had no trouble finding gluten free options. If you are having trouble finding a parking spot, call in and Don Arsenio will help you find a parking spot.Dietary restrictions: I have celiac disease and had no trouble finding something to eatParking: If you have trouble finding parking, call them and they will help you”

“Very stylish place, delicious dishes. The hall was full of people on Wednesday evening, making it noisy and uncomfortable to talk. But overall, everything is great.”
“Eating here was an amazing experience. The manchego croquettes were awesome with the fig jam, the focaccia was toasted just the right amount with the tastiest cheeses melted on top, and the Margherita pizza had the best covering of mozzarella and a nice, crispy crust. Karla is the most professional server in the restaurant, along with a blonde server I saw working humbly and diligently going up the stairs to set the rooftop for dining. Gio also does a stellar job of running the restaurant as manager. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area. A true hidden gem.”
