“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“

“Had an amazing experience here, the atmosphere was amazing and the views were beautiful and to top it all off the service was great!! Our server was Cande and she made sure that we were taken care of, if you’re ever in the area and decide to eat here, definitely ask for her!!“

“Lovely atmosphere. Great food and drinks. The strawberry daiquiri with their homemade syrup was terrific. Vee, our waitress, was really cool, kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. Love that we were able to watch the FIFA game outside and that they stopped the music and turned up the volume when the game started. Will definitely come here again.“

“I had an amazing time at Mango’s South Beach! The energy from the moment you walk in is incredible. The live music, talented dancers, and vibrant atmosphere create a true Miami experience that you won’t forget. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the night. The food and drinks were excellent, and the entertainment was nonstop. Whether you are visiting Miami or you are a local looking for a fun night out, this is the perfect spot to enjoy great music, dancing, and an unforgettable atmosphere. Highly recommend! 🌴🎶💃🏻#ShoutOutTSabiAndVera!!! Xo“

“Juan Manuel was phenomenal today when I was having breakfast,very detail,eye contact and He performed an extraordinary guest service,Well recommend it.Thank you,Juan for your exceptional service.👍“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We were so impressed with Sweet Liberty the last time we were in Miami that we had to go back again this time! It’s a classy/sexy little place with incredible food and amazing service. Zak was our server this time and he was great. 100% recommend“

“Great breakfast and atmosphere“

“WOW!!!

This place is an absolute gem.

We shared several dishes and every single one was better than the last. The cigars, arayes, challah schnitzel sandwich, shawarma on laffa, and the knafeh were all phenomenal.

As Israelis, we know Mediterranean food, and this was simply outstanding. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and made with care.

The entire experience was amazing from start to finish.

I also want to give a special shout-out to Ryan, our server. Ryan was absolutely incredible. You can genuinely tell that he loves what he does and takes pride in where he works. Every recommendation he gave us was a perfect choice. He checked on us throughout the meal, always made sure our drinks were full, kept us smiling and laughing, and treated us with exceptional kindness and professionalism.

Ryan was a huge part of what made this experience so memorable. Employees like him are hard to find, and he deserves recognition for the outstanding job he does. He represents your restaurant in the best possible way.

Thank you for such a memorable evening. We will definitely be back and will be recommending Motek to everyone we know.

Definitely appreciated the service and would come back again.“

“uma delícia, atendimento personalizado. comidinha deliciosa. ambiente agradável.“

“Dégustation d'un Excellent Burger , qualité des ingrédients, viande, bacon, œuf ....surtout la mayonnaise chimichurri qui donne un goût incroyable....Aussi nous avons commandé des Fabuleuse, frites aux Fromages, du véritable fromage fondu sur les frites, pas une sauce fromagère industriel.... Je vous conseille la Dégustation de Véritable BURGERS AMÉRICAIN 🇺🇲.... Un Français, Fan de la cuisine US ....“

“One of the best places to eat in Miami.“

“A great spot for quality sushi / sashimi in South Beach. It’s in the Plymouth Hotel but without a hotel sterile feel to it. There is indoor and outdoor seating just off the hotel pool. A great sushi bar if eating solo.

The sushi was all delicious - the salmon was ridiculously tasty. The wakame (seaweed) salad was best I’ve had in a long time. They also serve draft Kirin beer.

Good service and pleasant place. So much better than the hip Miami sushi joints that blast music and charge over the top amounts for avg quality food. This place is all about the food.

I highly recommend it.“

“We were looking for somewhere close to our stay to watch the game and have a bite as well as a drink, and this was the perfect place to be! Our server Nas definitely made it feel like home and took good care of us. We will surely come back next time we are in town!“

“Kind supportive staff, good food and atmosphere.“

“Amazing breakfast, recommended“

“Un lugar súper con muy buena atención !!!“

“I highly recommend this place. Good food, nice view and wonderful service. Tim the manager is great..“

“My gf and I came here on 6/27/2026 for brunch. The food is excellent, the Espresso Martinis are divine, though I'd add a shot of Bailey's, and the service was flawless.
But when every other restaurant in South Beach was increasing their prices 20%, Honey's was the same price we were paying at our favorite brunch place in Naples. Looking forward to coming again and this time we're going to try and stay on property.“

“Come here because of its reputation, it is worth recommending!“

“Yes I recommend. Beautiful bartender Maria is definitely the best . She always has that beautiful glow to her when she's serving . Also has great attitude and customer service when it comes to any general questions regarding the Shaker Bar, Freehand, and Generator.“

“If you’re in Miami Beach, Carlyle Cafe is a must-visit! The place has a cool Art Deco vibe (yep, it was in The Birdcage) and a great atmosphere. Huge shoutout to Rodrigo and Paz for the top-notch service! Perfect spot to soak in the Ocean Drive energy.“

“the best service and the best smoothies. the burguers also are amazing“

“Visited for my friend 50th birthday breakfast. Food was fresh and tasty. Service was fast and courteous. We will be back.“

“I’m writing to advise if the outstanding customer I received from @Stephanie Vitori, the owner of cheeseburger baby. My experience of a long wait, at Daytona International Raceway, was partly due to Stephanie pulling the product back as the staff was about to deliver it, as she was not pleased with one of the items they were about to serve, which BTW, to a layman, looked fine. Thus, Stephanie suggested an altered order and comped me. Her counter service, pride in her product, and food were excellent.“

“We always love coming to SoBe and having the most relaxing delicious brunch at the Social Club with Leo!!! He always has great suggestions and he makes our visits funtastic!!! Thank you Leo and thank you SC!!!“

“This review is so long over due!! The food is incredible I’ve had almost everything on the menu! The pasta is amazing! The pizza the steak! The portions! It’s cute and chill inside! You can have a big group or just keep it low key. I’ve been back 3 times already. I love the location easy to get to via uber and they make a great Hugo spritz! The service is great too!“

“My daughter and I have been guests of the one several times and each time we have been lucky enough to have the most kind, professional, engaging bartender bar none. Orlando will guide you through the menu and help you choose what best suits you. The salads and bowls seem simple but are fresh and flavorful and the protein additions are always cooked perfectly. Orlandos cocktails are done perfectly. He is a master and one of the main reasons we continue to come back. He is a star!“

“Wonderful table outside to watch the people traffic! Delicious polenta frittata and most tender and delicious octopus ! Friendly and gracious wait staff. Thank you.“

“Cool, and can be private in the evening, atmosphere! We visited after sun down. Outdoor seating in lush landscaping, water feature, umbrella, patio. Connected with The Tony Hotel, the pricing is affordable, the drinks big, and our server was awesome. We devoured the chocolate lave cake, along with strawberry and mango daiquiris and pina coladas.“

“Pool bars don’t usually inspire devotion, but I kept coming back to this spot like it owed me money. Three visits in one trip and I’m an expert now. I had the crab salad the first day, shrimp aguachile the second day and the cobia ceviche the third day. I was possibly becoming a pool bar regular. A very solid pool bar with excellent service.“

“Fantastic food and great service. Thank you 🙏🏼“
