Excellent food and service. Music was great. We always go to Cannes and now we will add Miami. Our waiter was great and made good recommendations. I think he was a manager also.

In all my 28 years of life this was one of the best meals ever, great ambience, great service and really cool restaurant.

I just had a booking today at Baoli, and I have never been more disappointed in a restaurant. I was there with a friend and we had such high expectations after being to the other location in the south of France. Firstly, we ordered one drink each, and got asked which vodka/tequila we would prefer, and we asked for house, which our server (Christian P), let us know that house vodka was Gray Goose (which is absurd but we didn't think anything of it in the moment as it is a nice restaurant), and house tequila was Don Julio (same here). The same thing happened with the extra two drinks that we ordered. We are two younger girls coming for a good night, and it ended up being a disaster. After seeing the bill I immediately asked to speak to the manager as I felt there was something fishy about the bill. I went to the bar and asked them what the house vodka and tequila was, and they proceeded to show me a very inexpensive and no name brand one, and that we were absolutely not aware of. When speaking with the manager, it was clear that the way he spoke to us was extremely sexist and degrading, due to us being younger girls. He asked me if I could do simple math, such as the difference between 18 and 23, and proceeded to make very degrading comments regarding our experience, not even trying to understand what had occurred in the slightest. As women, we feel extremely degraded and disappointed as we should never have to experience something like this, ever. We will never be coming back. We feel extremely scammed, and only one of the Grey Goose's was taken off of the bill, as he just sighed and kept walking off, without bothering to help us or providing some type of apology or understanding. We hope Baoli takes some action to this as this is not okay in any way, shape, or form.

Food not as good as expected. Crispy rice app not good. Toro roll pretty good. No club feel. Empty.

New ownership killed a once great restaurant... I have come to this restaurant many times before the new ownership and was shocked at how far it's fallen returning back post the change. I walked in and knew right away it felt different. To start, I booked the garden party to celebrate my birthday both of which were noted on the reservation, however was instead greeted at check in by the hostess' arguing quietly before attempting to seat us in the very back corner inside the restaurant next to the walk-ins at the bar. Once calling this out they reluctantly sat us in a half empty garden. We watched plastic looking sushi served around and I knew I was correct that the ownership had definitely changed. The drinks tasted like water and the apps were beyond disappointing and overcooked. We left after that with half the tables doing the exact same. Sad that a restaurant I looked forward coming to that once was exceptional, lost its flavor and fell so far downhill. RIP. Don't see them lasting long.

Cibo ottimo ma atmosfera per la serata di capodanno non coinvolgente .. neanche il countdown è stato fatto

I wished I would have called and asked questions before making reservations for New Years Eve. They had a pre fix menu and ticket or seating was $240 per person after 9pm I wasn't aware of that. It was definitely a overly priced experience and I won't be coming back.

They advertised a full dinner and show experience for New Year eve but there was no show or perfomamces. Only very loud and obnoxious music. Never again

I don't think I have ever felt so welcomed and well treated by any staff where people were genuinely there to make your eating NYE out fun and delicious and no stress and pure joy environment. It was well lit music was great ambience was well put decor impressive and servers were immaculate. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and my three kids were treated with utmost respect and food was to everyone's liking and healthy and delicious without anything that tasted out of place wow 10 out of ten

We had had dinner with a large group of people back in 2021 and it was such a great experience. We decided on this trip to Florida to dine here again. Unbeknownst to us they had changed their concept. It was not quite the same restaurant. This time it was set up as small plates. The drinks were good, but overall, it was an average meal and overpriced for the value. I know it's tough being in the restaurant business and it's evident that the waiter indicated that they struggled trying to find the right niche moving forward.

Fantastic service with an unforgettable. Going for the signature meal will not leave you hungry! Go for it.

Baōli — where to begin? While the hostesses were pleasant and welcoming, the overall service was extremely disappointing. The restaurant was empty at 7:30 PM, and we were told simply to request a table, which we did. We were seated at the high-top tables and waited approximately 15 minutes before a waiter approached us. After taking our order, he instructed us to return to the host stand, creating unnecessary confusion. Despite the restaurant being empty and staffed with numerous employees gathered around the bar, there seemed to be no interest in providing service or ensuring a positive guest experience. The lack of attention and professionalism was surprising, and I can only wonder what the owner would think of such service. Based on this experience, I would recommend thinking twice before dining here.

Amazing restaurant — the music is on point, the vibe is perfect, and the food is delicious. Plus, our waiter Gabriel was super nice!

I have been out there many times in the past. The last time was a long time ago. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. I understood that the menu at the place had changed and the indian flavors in each dish we ordered were less to our liking. I had guests from another country outside the US and I chose to come with them on Wednesday because I know it is a busy day and a night full of good music, people and dancing. Unfortunately it was disappointing maybe 6 tables. wasted a night of entertainment on their short visit to a place with no atmosphere at all.
