Absolutely loved Call Me Gaby! The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. The service was warm and attentive from start to finish. Every dish was fresh and full of flavor — especially the pasta and pizza. Great wine list too! Highly recommend sitting outdoors; the vibe is beautiful and very Miami.

Ambiance is outstanding. I chose a branzino from the menu, but the waiter explained to me that the branzino that day was made different from the branzino of the menu. My son chose the chicken parm with arugula and tomato salad. He requested if they could change the salad for a butter pasta or potatoes, but they could not do it. We had to order an extra pasta. The crispy polenta is a no miss. Other plates were very good but not outstanding. It's a good restaurant with outstanding ambiance, but I was expecting more from food and service.

We so wanted to love this restaurant. Sadly, we were disappointed. We booked a 7:30 reservation and arrived 10 minutes early. Understandably the table was not ready so we patiently waited at the bar for 30 minutes - and then were proceeded to be seated at a table (that had been empty since we arrived) adjacent to the bar where were waited on by the bartender.
After much discussion regarding the menu with the bartender/waiter, we decided upon various complimentary items.
Much to our surprise, they all arrived at once on a very tiny table so much so that when the items were “dropped off”, we had to find a place to put the lids on a nearby table.
Although the food was delicious, it was barely lukewarm. Two of the items were served in black iron pots which were slightly warm, but the eggplant and mussels and meatballs were not.
The food was actually delicious! It’s just too bad that we were seated at one of the worst tables, the food was not coursed out appropriately and the service was subpar. We will not be returning.

The manager is very rude and unpleasant, this used to be one of my go to places, not any more!

We made a reservation for 4 and I arrived on time with my parents while my husband was parking, the restaurant was half empty and they try to seat us on a table for 3, when I complained the manager said they had reservations and I told him that I had a reservation as well, then he started yelling at me to give him 2 minutes to look for a place to sit us, I didn't respond back as he deserved because I was with my elderly parents, that has never happened when I showed up with my husband, he was very rude and unpleasant

Call me Gaby was one of the most beautiful restaurants that I have been. We sat in the lounge area, surrounded by beautiful twinkling lights, a copious amount of comfortable and colorful pillows and the food was delicious! We especially loved the Truffle Arrancini. Our waiter was so welcoming and attentive. A must go!!!!

I was so excited to try this place based on some friends telling me they liked it. The food was sub par and the service was terrible. I would not go back. Bummer bc the ambiance is great - only thing they have going for them.

Food is really good. We had a Flatbread, mussels and chicken dish. Service was great as well with food and wine being delivered in a very timely manner. Really nice wine list with decent bottles in the $70-$120 dollar range. My only comment to add on Call me Gaby is that the pricing though fair does not make since to me. A shareable flatbread can be expensive, upwards of 30$ and then there are nice protien dishes also very affordable in the 30$ range. Would love to see this place with a happy hour offering, and I will definitely be back!

Be very careful with the management at this restaurant. I parked my car in front of the place in a pay-to-park spot. After having dinner there, my friend and I decided to take a short 5-minute walk. Unfortunately, my parking expired — and just two minutes later, the restaurant called the cops and had my car towed.
It was extremely disappointing to spend top dollar dining there, only to end up paying another $500 for a ticket and towing. I wish the management had shown more understanding and treated their customers with more respect and consideration.
“I recently visited a place I usually love, called ‘Call Me Gaby,’ to have a special date night. Unfortunately, even though I had a reservation, the experience was very disappointing. They seated us on the second floor, where the entire floor was empty except for our table and two others placed right next to us. I had specifically asked for a bit of privacy, but the waiter insisted they were fully booked and couldn’t accommodate us anywhere else. Yet during our entire hour and a half there, no one else came upstairs, and we were stuck practically elbow-to-elbow with these other tables. It felt like all our conversations were overheard, and the waiter was quite rude about our request for a little more space. It completely ruined what was supposed to be a special evening. I really used to love this place, and I don’t like leaving bad reviews, but this experience was just so disappointing.”

Great spot in Miami with delish food and warm and fun ambience. While there’s no shortage of restaurants in Miami we keep returning here for dinner when in town.
The only con is that a 20% gratuity is automatically added to your check while we prefer it was left to our discretion based on service we receive.
