“We recently dined at Luca Osteria and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional... beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly prepared with great attention to detail. Every dish we ordered was fresh, authentic, and memorable.
A special thank you to our server, Alex?? who truly elevated the evening. Alex was attentive, knowledgeable, and personable, offering excellent recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect throughout our meal. The ambiance at Luca Osteria is vibrant and inviting, with an energetic atmosphere that feels both upscale and comfortable. It's the kind of place that's perfect for a date night, celebration, or simply a great meal with friends.
We look forward to returning sometime in the near future and highly recommend Luca Osteria to anyone looking for outstanding Italian cuisine, exceptional service, and a fantastic dining experience. 😋🤌”
“El mejor sushi de Miami! Siempre que voy pido el Suntory y el Blue Bird roll. A mis hijos les encantan los postres, uno mejor que el otro!”
“Talk about a superior and extraordinary dining experience. I can't believe how's just tucked away and you'd literally miss it. I guess it makes it a hidden gem and those never ever disappoint. Needless to say, the service is unmatched here from the moment you walk in. Started with a white wine, these are the dishes I opted for...summer salad, scallop crudo, koshihikari rice, black grouper and parfait. Need I say, everything single dish was a 10/10. Summer salad was perfectly balanced between the plums, nectarines and avocado and a little spice from the agua diablo. An explosion of flavors in every bite. The scallop crudo was like nothing I've ever tasted...perfectly cooked scallop with a little kick. The grouper was the star of the show...just perfection. The rice was a pleasant surprise of flavors that took shocked my palate a little but in the best way. Ended the meal with a very delicious rich parfait that wasn't overly sweet. I see why they're Michelin starred and it didn't disappoint, NOT ONE BIT. Space is underwhelming though. Not really romantic or cozy or aesthetically pleasing and very small but the food was without a doubt...PHENOMENAL, and that's all that really matters at the end.”
“THE LEVEL OF MASTERY IN THE FORM OF CULINARY ACHIEVEMENT, AND IMMACULATE SERVICE IS VERY SPECIAL, AND IS ALWAYS CONSISTENT. JORDAN THE MANAGER IS A FANTASTIC AND CREATES THE MOST WELCOMING AMBIANCE, WHICH MAKES MY FAMILY KEEP COMING BACK. THE DISHES ARE ALL EXECUTED MAGNIFICENTLY.”

“It was amazing! Nico was a great server and every exceeded expectations”
“Excellent food and attentive service. Karma by Levante delivers well‑balanced flavors, thoughtful presentation, and a team that genuinely elevates the experience. A place that leaves you wanting to return.”
“15 course tasting Japanese omakase, you can taste the freshness in every bite. Some of the best tuna you will have in Miami. The 2 chefs are in action right in front of you and 11 more people max. Big eaters will think it’s not enough food to fill the stomach. But you can alway order extra sashimi in the ones you liked. We ordered some extra O-toro, Chu-toro and the Unagi with caviar. It was so delicious.”

“My husband found this little gem and we went for brunch on our first day in Coral Gables. We struck gold! Not only was our server, Monica, a treat but so was the food. We went with two of her recommendations. The il piu italiano avo toast and mega mushroom omelette…so good!! I went back the next morning because I really wanted to try the don’t be a (lemon) tart French toast…another hit. And my server, Rashad, was another gem! I enjoyed the food, atmosphere and workers at Threefold, and would highly recommend you check this place out.”
“If I could give this 6 stars, I would. Everything was phenomenal. The service. The food. The coziness in the restaurant. We ordered the chicharrones, broccolini, short rib and chicken. Everything came to perfection. Truly. Also I’m a carrot cake snob and that was by the far the best carrot cake I’ve had in Miami. It was so refreshing with the Greek yogurt cream and meringue slices on top. This is my new favorite restaurant in Miami! But seriously, if you’re reading this, you have to try the broccolini and chicharrones! You will not regret it.”
“We came for lunch at Daniel’s and it was absolutely fantastic. Marija was a delight and gave us excellent recommendations. The branzino and the australian margaret wagyu were both outstanding—definitely order them if you visit!”

“Servers were as good as it gets. Food was nothing short of awesome. 1st time there. Unfortunately, daughter graduated, so won't be back as much. When I do, I will definitely come back. Don't give 5 stars often, but this place needs no improvements. If they have veal melenaise, get it. Unreal. Table side Tiramassu was also fantastic. Whole thing blew me away.”
“The quality of food is high, for that I recommend it. The reason I wouldn’t go back is that the staff just did not care we were there at all. Still waiting for them to ask how everything is… we came through last year and had a totally different experience staff was super friendly and engaged even though the place was packed. We caught them at turnover and they couldn’t care less. We talked about hitting craft as a high point for our one night in Miami before cruising… and now we won’t bother going back to Bayside.”
“Guava and cheese Danish is really good. Bacon quiche is also great. There is a big line so be prepared to wait. Orders can be placed to stay or to go, and there are a few simple tables to sit down but it is very noisy because of acoustics and also so many people getting stuff to go.”
“Had a great experience here with Mark the bartender. Ordered his suggestion which was one of the sushi rolls - they don't mess around when it comes to rolls. I got the nikkei roll which was absolutely phenomenal. I also ordered the boulevardier which is bulleit rye, amaro montenegro, aperol, and grapefruit - an amazing mix! A bit pricey but highly recommend! And shoutout to Mark - give that guy a raise!”
“Great place for family!!! Enrique provided excellent fast service and was very attentive, friendly, and professional. I went with my husband and children, and he made the entire experience pleasant for our family with his kind attitude and great customer service. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“My first time eating Peruvian food and it was absolutely delicious. Cocktails were so good, the food was flavorful, big portions, and the atmosphere was fantastic. They had a DJ showing us a great time! Rosemary was attentive, very sweet, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place to anyone!”
“Eliana and Sandra were so sweet and every time I come i feel like home! The food was delicious and Im never disappointed!! Had the ceviche and lomo saltado and never felt so satisfied as I did after eating here”

Chef Reiji is a visionary carefully crafting each dish to perfection. Overall delicious and a lot of fun. An experience I will never forget and will be back soon.”

“Just a quick stop for a coffee(latte with oat milk) and grabbed a cookie. Space is beautifully decorated and ambiance is just what you'd expect from a spot on Miracle Mile. Can't judge the food but it looked appealing from the dishes I saw around me. Gotta come back for a taste of the real menu.”
“Pura Vida is one of my favorite breakfast/lunch spots because the food is always fresh and tastes amazing. I just graduated from UM and during my time as a student I loved meeting my friends at this location in the middle of campus! The servers are friendly and service is usually pretty quick. The space is a little smaller than their other locations, so I will say the tables fill up pretty quickly during the week, but it's still a super cute atmosphere to do work/catch up with friends at. Also prices aren't cheap, but the quality of the drinks/food is very good. The menu is smaller at this location too, but still has all the essentials. Definitely recommend this location if you're a UM student/faculty member, or just someone who wants to see campus while getting some PV :)”
“The place is beautiful, and all the books and sections, very nice!
The food delicious too; but the service is terrible. Attendants are kind but it seems they do not have experience at all. I was unattended for over 2hrs. I would have like to stay longer if service was acceptable.”
“We tried about seven different coffee spots in Miami, and this was the only cafe that served the kind of coffee we were looking for—smooth, nutty, and well-balanced. Most coffee shops in Miami tend to have strong, bitter flavors, almost like dark roasts. But this place was different—the coffee tasted clean, rich, and high quality. If you prefer a more mellow and balanced cup rather than a bold, bitter one, this is definitely the place to go!”

“I just wanted to take a moment to leave a review because this place is one of the last OG gems of coral gables. I went with my partner and a friend to grab some drinks and I’m so glad we did! This is the place where you go and everyone knows your name. The service was great and the vibe was even better!!! There is something extra special about a place that not only is a cool spot, but where the staff and patrons feel like family. Check them out!!! Great prices too!!”
“Dinner was excellent. We shared the grilled octopus, delicious. Also shared the snapper in sauce with sides of plantain and vegetables. Everything was delicious. The owner was friendly and made us welcome. The restaurant has recently reopened so it was quiet. Good luck to them, they deserve to do well.”
“Such amazing food!!! Highly highly recommended!! Great prices!! Usually GF food is so over priced because of course it’s expensive as we all know. But their prices are amazing. Packed full of delicious food. Brisket was so tender and moist. Fruit was so fresh. I don’t do reviews very often, but this one had to be done. Cause it’s so good to find a place for celiac friendly food that tastes amazing. Crepes packed full!”

“I had a wonderful experience at Ruth's Chris on my birthday!! Our table was sprinkled with birthday confetti and happy birthday are so right off the bat, we were in a festive mood. I started with a Mojito from the bar, then had a shrimp cocktail to start, and for my entree I had the lobster / tenderloin classic, with French onion soup and creamed spinach. Everything was outstanding!!! The French onion soup is one of the best I've ever had. The shrimp cocktail featured perfectly cooked shrimp with a perfect snap, no mush. The cocktail sauce had the perfect amount of horseradish. The fillet was tender as butter and perfectly seasoned and the lobster tail was so fresh and perfectly broiled. Our server Jennie was just lovely and the additional wait staff were perfect. It was also nice that the manager dropped by to wish me a happy birthday and make sure everything was great. We can't wait to go back.”
“Famed and revered French chef @pascal.oudin.35 opened Pascals on Ponce ( @pascalsonponce ) 22 years ago and has been delighting customers and publishers ( @foodandwine @esquire_magazine @gourmet.magazine to name a few) since it’s inception. We were not the exception 😉 Behold, Nos Plats Choisis! We began by warming the palate and gastric sac with the #lobster #bisque and the #porcini #mushroom and #foiegras #soup with #infused #whitetruffle #oil (I’m not sure which was better so I finished them both 🤤) —check out that slow pour of the captivating crustacean soup 🦞— Next, we tried the seared #hudsonvalley #duck #foiegras with #appletatin #candiedginger and duck gastrique (it tasted as fanciful and majestic as it sounds) For entres: the #australian #lambrack in a #jus #dagneau cocked to medium and for myself the #local #blackgrouper with #celeryroot and #eggplant #caviar 🥳🥰 for dessert we tried the perfectly executed #grandmarnier #souffle with Orange #sabayon, excellent!”
“We had a wonderful experience. After reading some other reviews we realized it might be hit or miss. It was a hit. We were welcomed by Michelle, choosing inside or outside seating. Even though it was Saturday September 2nd, we opted for outside. With a fan we never even broke a sweat, the weather was perfect at 6PM. The views of the water are breathtaking. David, our server, started is off with a martini and a water melon based drink. The bar tender matched the perfect flavors. As summer gave us the option for Miami Spice we started with the tuna ceviche. Absolutely delicious, melt in your mouth. Since we do not eat meat, the Branzino was out go to. Perfect presentation cooked over a saffron risotto. Delicious. I also had the Noma salad, with baby green, all crisp freshy cut veggies was the perfect healthy addition. The views: perfect, the service: perfect, the food: perfect. All we wondered is why we were even able to get a table. All around experience was great and we will definitely be back to sample other items on the menu.”
“I took my girl to the Biltmore bar last week for her birthday and I had the best time. We aren’t really drinkers. Karl the bartender honestly made the experience all the better, he literally recommended the best drinks for the occasion and explained every ingredient as he made them infront of us.
Don’t find service like that anymore! Great time and thanks to Karl 🙏🏼”
“The best Italian food in town. The authentic version of Italian dishes and the best quality of food. All the staff are amazing and very welcoming. Congratulations”

“I had a great experience at Just Salad. Everything tasted fresh, and I really liked the variety of options, including salads, bowls, wraps, and house-made dressings. The portions were very good too. I especially want to highlight Anett’s service—she was very kind, attentive, and patient, and she made the experience even better. I would definitely come back.”
“We came to the London Square Location: Tasty sandwiches, amazing pastries, and very good coffee. I’m usually very picky about coffee but this was so good we had to get a second one for the road, even my teenage kids loved it. The pastries are absolutely amazing!!! I wish we had a bakery like this in our hometown!”
“We had to be in Coral Gables for personal matters and had 2 hours to wait so we were looking for a place hang while we waited for our friend.
Thankfully this little gem was in the building. The coffee here is excellent. If you fancy a good espresso, look no further. It woke me up instantly. And the chicken salad sandwich was very good
Whats best is I believe this is family run. The ladies were super nice. And yes they speak English here too.”
“Awesome spot for amazing food and warm friendly staff. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and offered mostly take out items but did have outdoor seating if you planned to eat there. We were greeted by Jose who offered us a shot of his new years lentil soup which was so flavorful! He has been there 13 years and with us being new to the area he had offered us sights to see and places to go. So sweet! We ordered the specialty breakfast sandwich with eggs, turkey, ham and cheese on a baguette and a strawberry banana smoothie. Both were very tasty! Before we left Jose offered us a shot of Columbian coffee, bold and good. Overall a wonderful experience and a must go to for anyone staying in the area!”
“This is one of my favorite places for breakfast or lunch. The food is clean, not heaving on salt or sugar, and I love the breakfast. I see in the negative reviews that the portions are small, this is not the Cheesecake Factory, the serving sizes are for healthy eating.
The service is amazing, even when it is busy they keep their cool... with a smile.”

“Just spent another wonderful evening with my husband at the Coral Gables Benihana. The food and service was again off the charts! It's such a beautiful spot for dinner. What made it even more special was the attention we got from the manager, Jennifer. She stopped by a couple of times to make sure everything was perfect, and it was!!!”

“I am not even Ecuadorian but this is by far my favorite restaurant, visited around 5 times, never unhappy. The food is exceptional, whatever you order you will be specified, we know tried almost everything on the menu. Reservations are very much recommended if you don’t want to wait for dinner, but lunch is not so packed during weekdays. I love love love the food, service and atmosphere! 1000 times recommending!”

“Verace is simply fantastic. Very affordable. Whether you are eating with friends, family, spouse, or by yourself. It is fantastic. They are accommodating, the food is great, pizza is perfect every time. I love the bolognese and they will substitute the rigatoni for fettuccine. A fav. The atmosphere is cute and quaint, but I would suggest to dim the lights during the dinner hour. The patio is lovely, I need to take advantage of it. Service is perfect. Highly recommend it! Run! Don’t walk to Verace.”
“Excellent gelato. My friend and I are sitting down at Copper29 for Happy Hour when it gets even merrier, as Haider (staff) offers us a sample of gelato. The samplers are fantastic, so go in and have gelato before our meals.
My friend ends up having their passion fruit yogurt gelato which apparently pairs wonderfully with the passion fruit martini at Copper29.
My favorite is their choco pistachio.
The ferrero rocher tastes exactly like ferrero.
Their coconut tastes great - like cocoa butter taste with white chocolate.
For those who like stuff that's not too sweet: their pistachio is a great choice.
They also have non-sugar gelato sweetened with stevia to keep that blood glucose in check.
Haider is friendly, clearly loves people and gelato, and so amazing at recommending flavors. Such a refreshing person to meet!!!”
“CFS Coffee For The Soul is one of those Coral Gables hidden gems that instantly makes you rethink every average coffee you’ve had before. From the first sip, the coffee stands out—rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced, with a level of care and consistency that shows in every cup. It doesn’t feel rushed or generic; it feels intentionally crafted.
The food is just as impressive, going well beyond what you’d expect from a coffee spot. Everything tastes fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and paired in a way that actually complements the drinks rather than just filling a menu. It turns a quick coffee run into something you actually want to sit down and enjoy.”
“Tried el cubano and pan con bistec. Pan con bistec was really good! El cubano was solid but wasn’t the best in my opinion. I would say it was a bit pricey for the size of those sandwiches, but what can I say when I’m comparing them to Texas size. Overall, had a wonderful experience!”
“This place had been on my list for a while, but every time I stopped by, the wait was over two hours. I finally visited on a weekday, and it was totally worth it. We got seats at the bar right away and finally got to try it. The French toast was easily my favorite. It was so good that I’d come back just for that. You can really tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients, and I also loved the sourdough bread served with the eggs. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the coffee. I prefer a stronger espresso flavor, so it just wasn’t my favorite. Other than that, everything was great. If you’re nearby, I’d definitely recommend giving this place a try!”
“Iv been here dozens of time and I am repulsed by the petty negative reviews this place gets. This is by far one of the best places to visit in Coral Gables but the stuck up turkeys keep acting like they are supposed to kiss your rear feathers. Better price for coffe than starbucks, better breakfast than Dennys(by a mile) and some how a better steak than Outback. BTW sorry I dint leave a multi thousand dollar tip because yall deserve it. Dont forget to ask your customers for investing advice ;)”
“Happy Easter and bunny blessings to all!
He is risen, and so is your appetite, so hop on over to Birdies in Bistro at the Coral Gables Country Club golf course. This isn’t just brunch… it’s a culinary resurrection.
First Course:
A lineup of dishes so satisfying they’ll make you forget you promised to “eat light today.” Your belly will be joyfully full, and you’ll swear the Easter Bunny himself had a hand in the seasoning.
Second Course:
A selection crafted for those with a refined palate, think elegant, elevated, and just fancy enough to make you sit up straighter. These plates don’t just taste good; they whisper compliments to your soul.
Let’s just say it’s friendly enough that you won’t need to pray over your bank account afterward.
The Service:
Warm, welcoming, and genuinely delightful. The staff treats you like family if your family actually listened when you said you were hungry.
Bring your putter and work off those heavenly calories on the course. Nothing says “count your blessings” like sinking a putt after dessert.”
“Excellent menu and excellent service”
