50 Best American Restaurants near Key Biscayne

“We’ve vacationed 3X in the area now, played here all 3X never disappoints. Great layout, great staff. I wish 18 was a par 20. Great finishing hole, drinks at 19, then dinner at the rusty pelican. Play it you won’t regret it“

“No birthday desert for 80th birthday! Very surprising as other restaurant do something!“

“This review is solely based on drinks. Stopped by The Dune Beach Bar at the Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne for drinks and had a great experience. My mojito was excellent and Geno and David made a special version with peach and passion fruit that was even better. They were both so friendly and made the visit feel relaxed and fun. I would definitely come back for their drinks and their great service.“

“Nelson and Lori keep me coming back and recommending this hidden gem to all of my friends and anyone that will listen. I come for the food, cafe Cubano but LOVE it for the fantastic fun, friendship and hospitality that Lori, Nelson and the entire team bring! I am down on the Key a few times a year and this is my must visit place!“

“Cozy little restaurant, with delicious food, on point service and friendly environment. It also offers a wide variety of wines to select from for purchase, for any and every occasion. Thank you for the 360 experience, it was a beautiful evening out for us.“

“Great bar & grill service. The Best!!🥰“

“Our server Luis made the experience exceptional. Great recommendations and knowledge of the available options and helped meet our dietary restrictions as well. I’ve been coming here for a long time and usually the atmosphere is what gets me being so close to the beach but the service was over the top today and I must make sure everyone knows it. Enjoy!“

“Truly remarkable. We enjoyed the 9-course tasting menu with the wine pairing and waygu enhancement, putting dinner at $375pp including tax and tip. Worth every penny. Our primary server, Gabriela, was fantastic although several other staff members delivered our dishes, including both managers and a member of the chef’s team. I enjoyed the variance as it allows one to meet several members of the staff. Of the nine wines there was one I didn’t care for so, when asked how I liked it and said, “not so much” it was immediately replaced with a choice between two fine wines. It’s in these moments you understand the staff are true professionals providing the best dining experience possible. Gabriela, or Gaby as she prefers to be called, is a true professional The only marks against is the dress code. One gentleman at the bar was in a T-shirt and a baseball cap. Later two gentleman sat at a high top near the door, both in baseball caps. Also, the bartender was wearing a tank-top with the back cutout, something one would expect at a beach bar. The stark contrast between she and the very smartly dressed manager, Jonathan Smith, in a suit and tie, was noticeable. I’m old school dining with my 94 year old father who is really old school so my critique of attire when we’re only here for dinner may seem displaced. My apologies. For anyone looking for a remarkable dining experience in Miami Beach I highly recommend Stubborn Seed. You will leave full and an experience you’ll remember forever“

“We had Chavely C. as a waitess, she was excellent, we can’t say enough greatness about her !“

“Haven’t been in while, but we can’t wait to go back. 😊“

“Restaurant lived up to the hype! Phenomenal experience from start to finish. Excellent service and fun, lively atmosphere. Food and cocktails were 10/10. The southern chicken dish was some of the best fried chicken I've had. The flavor was deeper, more complex than your typical fried chicken. House-made pickles and pimento biscuits were the perfect compliment. Collard greens were definitely top 3 all time. Pork chop was slightly overcooked but still delicious. Mashed potatoes and crispy onions with the chop were fantastic. High booze content in the cocktails - got your money's worth. The DJ was just getting going outside as we were leaving. Wish we could've stayed and partied all night. Really appreciated the complimentary ice cream for my wife's birthday. Will definitely be back!“

“Me atendió Paula, excelente atención, atenta y servicial, hermoso lugar. Sin dudas volveré...“

“Nico our server was great! We were looking for brunch and he whipped out the breakfast menu! It was exactly what we wanted! The food was delicious! The photo opps were beautiful with the flowers decor and background. Also the vibes were great w music and fans to keep us comfortable while we ate. Also Nico’s service was 10/10! He was attentive and so sweet! It was just what me and my husband were looking for for our Miami brunch experience!“

“Great place to have a diner in Miami Beach. Loved the ambiance, lots of options on the menu for eating. They served fast, the food was good. The have one of the best mojitos I've ever tried. My server Camila Rios was a swetie. Would definitely recommend.“

“We went two weeks ago, Friday 14th. We ordered a Caesar Wrap and a Cuban sandwich( the former good, the latter amazing ). For drinks I had the Tavern's mule which was a great drink as well. We had dinner indoors and it was such a cool place, with lots of tvs to watch different sports. There was Moderate noise but you can still talk. Višnja ( I hope I didn't butcher your name ) was our waiter and she was very attentive.“

“What a great dining experience! Our waiter exceeded every expectation. Carlos Perez was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel like valued guests from the moment we arrived. His recommendations were spot-on, and he was always one step ahead, making sure our drinks were refilled and that we had everything we needed.

It's rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a genuine, friendly attitude. His outstanding service turned a great meal into an exceptional experience. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable—we'll definitely be back and hope to be served by you again!“

“It was my husband and I first time in Miami. We wanted to see a show and we were not disappointed! We loved our time at Mango 's.
We met Vera! She made our time amazing 👏. She helped us secure a great table with an amazing view of the show. She made it so special for us!! Thank you“

“Really good service by Biannel & Yurisan! Definitely coming back! Great and service and food all around :)“

“LOVE! Walter is an amazing server and the staff as a whole is super into it. Watching FSU V Miami and couldn’t imagine a better vibe“

“I had heard about this hot restaurant from New York that I must try, but was reticent to do so because Carbone was the name of a character from Goodfellas that Robert Deniro's Jimmy Conway whacked when tying up loose ends after the Lufthansa job! Poor sap was hanging frozen in a meat locker. I'm glad I put that imagery aside because this place was amazing! Platitudes like wonderful ambience, fine service, flavorful food, great family style dining, are all applicable but just don't capture the full spirit of the evening. From the pickled cauliflower, to the signature spicy rigatoni ala vodka (which pairs nicely with their pinot noir offering Presqu'ile), to the Caesar salad (you must have those croutons!), and their delicious Italian petit-fours, everything burst with flavor and was resplendent of the authenticity of old Venice. And since you will be spending more than a few pennies here, one must luxuriate in the mid century environs replete with Murano glass chandeliers while being serenaded with a sound track of Italian crooners like Mel Torme and Frank Sinatra in the full bela canta tradition. If you have a special occasion, Carbones Miami Beach will make for a memorable evening.“

“Sweet Liberty is always such a great experience! The atmosphere, drinks, and energy are amazing, but Marv truly makes the place special. He is always so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel taken care of from the moment you walk in. That kind of hospitality is what keeps you wanting to come back. If you’re in South Beach and looking for great cocktails, good vibes, and exceptional service, Sweet Liberty is definitely a must. And make sure you say hi to Marv ✨he’s the best!“

“Had a really good experience here. The food was excellent, and the drinks were great as well. I tried the chicken kabobs, and they ended up being one of my favorite things I ordered. The staff was also very attentive throughout the visit, which made everything more enjoyable. There’s honestly not much to say other than the food and drinks speak for themselves. Overall, a very nice place with good service and plenty to enjoy. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.“

“Had breakfast this morning. Food was excellent, cappuccino’s were perfect! Gabriella served us and did everything she could to make it enjoyable for us. So 10/10 rating!“

“We went for the Miami spice menu. All the food was good, but the service was not that great. They took very long to come back to the table every meal. We had to wait very long for the next meal and at the end they overcharged me two plates I had to check the receipt and make sure everything was right. I don't think I will be coming back.“

“Firsy things first, This restaurant is now called Celias. We were looking for Biscayne Tavern and walked right past it twice lol. Went inside the hotel and they let us know we were in the right spot and that the name had changed. The food was very tasty and served hot. The Mahi Mahi sandwich was seasoned perfectly and the cilantro sauce was delicious. We had a few drinks that were also delicious. Overall its a nice place, decorated beautifully with tropical colors and accents.“

“Ariana was the best!!! She made our time at Motek so fun and she recommended the most amazing dishes for us to try… we had the lamb shank, the branzino, and the halloumi and everything was perfect!! Thank you Ariana and Motek for a wonderful visit.“

“One of our favorite restaurants!“

“delicious!!! a must visit when in Miami Beach! the staff is super friendly as well. Shout out to the deli guy Estuardo for the recommendations the other day! we will be back for sure!“

“Muchas Felicidades al equipo de trabajo de éste agradable lugar!!! El ambiente, la elaboración y presentación de los alimentos, el servicio y la música fueron excepcionales!! Teniendo en cuenta, qué hoy, se celebra el Día de los Padres!! Les deseamos qué sigan cosechando éxitos y qué continúen haciendo felices a sus clientes, cómo hasta ahora!! Bendiciones!!“

“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.“
