“Awful. Rude staff, poor service, overpriced and pretty sure they discriminate racially. Nice views and design does not make up for it.“

“We had a wonderful break at the legendary News Cafe, which perfectly captures the vibrant spirit of Ocean Drive.
Service & Staff: The staff were extremely sweet, friendly, and attentive. We were so impressed by their warm hospitality.
Food & Quality: Everything we ordered was super delicious and fresh; the quality of the food completely met our expectations.
Pricing: The prices are slightly on the higher side due to its prime location on Ocean Drive, but considering the quality of the food and the lovely service, it was worth every bit.
Definitely a great spot to people-watch and enjoy your time in South Beach!“

“Lira is one of my favorite restaurants in Wynwood. The food is absolutely delicious, the service is amazing and the ambiance is great. True Lebanese hospitality and flavors. Highly recommend the dips, the grilled watermelon and halloumi salad and the grilled octopus. They also have kibeh nayeh by request and other great specialties.“

“I had the opportunity to throughly enjoy the excellent food and service at this downtown Miami restaurant recently. I was part of a large group and our meal was served family style. Service was excellent except for one glitch, see the end of the review.

For appetizers we had the mixed green salad, tomato and burrata, and gambas al ajillo served with house focaccio. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. The main courses included the seared salmon with beluga lentils, chicken tagine, and mushroom risotto. The risotto was the best I've had. The salmon also was perfectly cooked. The chicken deliciously spiced; the couscous was either undercooked or needed to be fluffed.

No room for dessert, but who could resist. The tropical paradise with mango mousse was the best. The tahini brownie was delicious, but odd. The desert rose was not at all baklava. It was a nest of kataifi and somehow missed the target.

Some of these dishes appear on the restaurants Miami Spice menu - I recommend them all.

My only comment was that there were lots of leftovers. We were not able to take away any leftovers. Would this be the case if you were dining with your family? Food waste is such a problem in our country. Perhaps this restaurant is part of a system that donates food to shelters.“

“. The food and the service was outstanding. I shared the Turkish platter with which consisted of fresh vegetables, cucumbers, celery, broccoli, carrots, with Romain, lettuce and baba ghanoush, a tomato, cilantro, cucumbers, onions, vinaigrette, and and I had grilled Seabass with steak fries and truffle butter. With the olive oil chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream for dessert. Located in the design District of Miami off of NE. 2nd Ave. The staff and servers are very friendly and welcoming. It’s a lovely place to have a meal. Thank you so much.“

“Best Shawarma in Florida. HANDS DOWN!!“

“Such a good experience! I don’t understand why people choose to go to chain restaurants when you can get a much better experience at this type of places. Gyro was extremely delicious and made with love! Also ate the best baklava I’ve had in Miami!!! Just awesome!“

“Great food. Friendly staff. Very nice environment. A must go place.“

“Branja is a solid option!
There is not much around the area, branja and another restaurant near it.

Venue is very pretty with a great glass ceiling, there are a few small businesses around.

If you book via the reservation app, restaurant is what gives you space under the nice glass roof.

Restaurant is part of Miami spice.

The short rib is a great dish and special mention to the schnitzel that was amazing: crispy and juicy!“

“I was visiting Miami for the first time and I got my first meal in Taula. I couldn’t be more happy with this restaurant. The food was amazing and we recieved such an amazing friendly service.
Highly recommended to all for having a great experience“

“After having the mango bellini I have to forewarn this review is coming from a place of inebriation however all truthful!! (I promise).

The experience was ina word delightful. The food, presentation, atmosphere, attention to details were all fantastic! I even had the dessert before the meal and enjoyed every bit of it. The hosts were pleasant and super attentive.

After a loooong tiring work week this is exactly what we needed. Thank you!“

“It was so spectacular! I ate there twice in 3 days!“

“Comida muy rica y lugar agradable“

“Ordered from here for the first time. Had been craving a true homey meal with low sodium (I know…very specific). I thought this would taste like another poor attempt at Middle eastern food and I was WRONG.

This place has the flavor of someone who is thoughtful, caring, and kind. I am not a meatball person, but I LOVE these ones. The artichoke salad has cabbage, and is a high fiber low sodium TASTY dream. The grape leaves are a delicious treat. I can’t wait to go in person.

Thank you for paying attention to my dairy allergy and leaving a hand written note. I cannot wait to meet you Zelda, whoever you are.“

“We had a wonderful experience at Maison Ostrow. The service from Eyal was excellent , very attentive and really made us feel taken care of. The decor is truly out of the ordinary, with so much character and attention to detail. The whole atmosphere really makes you feel like you’ve stepped into France.

The french baguette was amazing, and we especially enjoyed the zaatar butter, beef carpaccio with truffle, steak frites, and lemon mousse with meringue. Everything was delicious and beautifully done. We really enjoyed our evening and would definitely come back! Compliments to the chef.“

“We enjoyed a three-course Miami Spice lunch. It was very good. I started with an arugula salad, and my wife enjoyed the hummus. We both ordered the beef Milanese with pasta. Absolutely delicious! A very hearty portion. The dessert was a tasty tiramisu. Good service and a lovely setting.“

“Alvyn, our server IS the best. !!! Wonderful suggestions topped with fabulous service. The food is as good as the service.“

“Saw Dany’s videos on Instagram and knew I had to drive down and try Happeas for myself! The ribeye pocket and chicken shawarma were absolutely amazing, and the mint lemonade was excellent! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth the drive. Can’t wait to come back and try the salads and bowls!“

“Amazingly friendly and welcoming energy not to mention the creative and delicious home inspired dishes that keeps you wanting more! Definitely recommend to check them out and specially Nick who’s smile is contagious 😃“
