“Great specials for ladies night on drinks. Wings were great. Andrew took great care of us! Give them a try“

“One of my favorite spots in Miami & I don’t mean this lightly. The food is incredible. So much flavor. The atmosphere is dim & aesthetic. What really heightened the experience was our bartender David. He gave great recommendations and great service. 10/10 Excellent experience!!!“

“We had a large group of 9 for a bachelorette party and had such a great experience! Genesis was our server and she was ON IT and kept our glasses full and made sure we were so well cared for! Place is super cute and food was fresh and delicious!“

“I’m not sure if he’s upper management, the owner, or simply just a phenomenal server who really cares for the business, but every time I come, the service is always welcoming, but there is one man in particular who always introduces the drinks to the person who orders them, telling the story, and ending his explanation with a nice “cheers”. He does this for each person. It’s very personable, and you can see that he cares about the drinks and the craft of such unique, worldly takes on cocktails. It’s a place I always recommend for a cozy, laidback vibe, but also one that still feels upscale. The only thing is that I wish they had different music than the food hall - the food hall’s music is pretty atrocious and doesn’t complement the otherwise sleek yet down to earth vibe of the bar. Cheers!“

“Day 5 Happy Hour at El Camino location in Boca Raton, FL was incredible. The place was buzzing, but the atmosphere was fantastic. We snagged a table pretty quickly despite the crowd. Our server, John, was top-notch. We started with a $6 margarita & a michelada, & the tamarind straw was a game-changer. The food was phenomenal - chips with salsa, pork tamale, chicharrones, & more. We were stuffed, but the flavors were perfection. What a steal!“

“Homeade bloody mary mix, need I say more?“

“Ive been gatekeeping this place because I didnt want to lose my clean, chill, less loud and screamy kbbq spot but this place is one of my top go to's.

The meat is always quality, the service is always top notch and the ambience is always on point. If youre looking for kbbq where you dont feel like you gotta shout over the chaos and you can really enjoy, this is the spot.

All You Can Eat is a great deal for their meat quality but I love that they still have traditional Korean dishes on the menu for when I dont want to gorge myself.

Also it's always clean!! So clean and the booths are comfortable without drowning you or making you feel crowded in.“

“very nice cozy place. food is good, great drinks.“

“Was very impressed. My date and I had the cornbread , oyster rockefeller and the truffle deviled eggs, impressive intricate cajun menu“

“Love J&C Oyster. Food is always amazing“

“The best vibes, service & food!!!“

“We’ve visited the Guest a number of times, as a couple, with our family and always had a great dinner. Food choices are nicely varied, without being overwhelming. Tastes consistently great and servers are friendly and quick without being intrusive. Definitely worth checking out and enjoy the fun outdoor seating.“

“Great place to brunch and close to our house. Drinks are AMAZING and food is great.“

“We love coming to dinner at Gastrobar Latino with our family! The food is authentic and is delicious! The service is always very welcoming and warm. Feels like I’m visiting a South American country with the excellent hospitality we always experience. Juliana, Sandra and Wilson provide great service! Thank you!“

“Fun atmosphere every weekend. Gets crowded. Mostly college-aged, Gen Z, millennials. Live DJ- House or Latin music vibes. Large screens to watch sports, and World Cup fever is alive! Never had the food, but the drinks are ok. Service is obviously better with a smaller the crowd.“

“I really enjoyed my time at Puya Cantina.

Buy one get one free cocktails for Happy Hour! SAY LESS!

I also really enjoyed the food here. I was able to snag a picture of the loaded nachos we ordered, but I was not able to snag a picture of the delicious yuka fries, and the carne asada fajitas.

Everything was so delicious and came out pretty quick!

The overall cost for almost two entres, a side, and 3 drinks was about $108 including tip. We split it three ways which is definitely not bad for a Josh restaurant!

This is definitely going to be a new date-night spot for me!

Also I would like to mention the free parking and the service. The service is a little slow even though the food does come out quick, it just seems a little disorganized,but we were a table of 11 so I won't count a star off for it.

Still giving Puya 5 stars!“

“Looove Kuro! Not only is the food amazing but the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable in their dishes. We had Luis as our waiter and he made the difference in our experience as he led us through deciding what to order based on our interests. Their chefs are not only incredibly talented, but they make their dishes memorable (at least for me the short rib) 🥹

Few must have recs: Chilean, sea bass, beef short rib, Wagyu tacos

Will definitely come back again! Also recommend to make reservations in case they get full“

“Collin is an awesome bartender! Had a great time at this speakeasy in the middle of the afternoon. Super cool vibes and pizza was excellent“

“The service was wonderful. Our server came was very helpful when we were selecting from the menu she was very informative. I’ve been to some restaurants where the waitress will just tell you everything is great not knowing what’s really on the menu. She did not she was very honest she told us what was the best option. What was the most popular and what she liked and she recommended the short rib rigatoni for myself, which was delicious
My wife had the ribeye steak with a side of rigatoni with vodka sauce, and that vodka sauce was incredible The restaurant was beautiful The atmosphere was nice. It was very welcoming. I highly recommend this for anybody looking for a date night or anybody looking to have a family dinner. Great choice for any occasion.“
