“The history of Joe's Stone Crab restaurant began in 1913, when Joe Weiss, an asthmatic Hungarian immigrant who left New York on the advice of his doctors, opened a small buffet in Miami Beach. The restaurant site was first attached to a bathhouse where Joe offered meals and lockers to bathers. The founders, Joe and his wife Jennie, soon moved into a bungalow where Joe started a restaurant, initially serving traditional seafood.Jennie, Joe's wife, strictly managed the restaurant's guest list and hosted such infamous figures as Al Capone. In the 1920s, the reputation of the restaurant was made outstanding by the fact that Joe and a marine biologist started experimenting with local stone crabs, which were not considered edible until then. Joe's cooking technique of dropping the crabs into boiling water was a huge hit and became a specialty of the restaurant.The family business continued to expand, and Joe's son, Jesse Weiss, became a key figure in the restaurant. Jesse's charismatic personality and connections attracted many celebrities to the restaurant, making Joe's a true social center in Miami Beach. Jesse's memories have been preserved by his wife and daughter, and based on these, he is considered the pride of the family and the key to the restaurant's success.Joe's Stone Crab is now more than 100 years old and continues to be a family business, where the success of the restaurant is characterized by family togetherness and long-term employee loyalty. A place of community and camaraderie since its inception, the restaurant continues to celebrate good food and community as one of Miami's iconic dining venues.“

“The food was coming out very slow in the beginning. The first 3 courses, including bread, took almost 45 mins. The sake on the drinks menu was not available. The barramundi fish is from Hawaii but labeled as “local fish” on the menu. The wagyu beef and the lobster bites are so small that I can hardly taste the ingredients. On the positive side, the service was excellent and the food was cooked with good balance. A very ambitious menu but prepared very well. Compared with other Michelin one star restaurants (we had tried hundreds), I rate this one in the top 25%“

“We decided to come to this place randomly and it did not disappoint. Marian was our servers, she was very attentive and sweet. I definitely recommend the paella ! We got the the big size, they say it’s for 3 people but I think it could feed more.“

“I really NEVER write reviews unless it's really bad, or really good. For our first time in Miami and restaurant to eat. All great things to say about this place. Everything from the ambiance, food, and service from Giuseppe, staff, down to the manager Allegra. If you're on the fence, just do it. If your experience will be the same as ours, you won't regret it.“

“I highly recommend the seafood plater for two with Chimichurri sauce on the side, it was really good and was enough food for 3. The over all atmosphere was really good, we sat outside and had good people watching.Kid-friendliness: They had a couple options for kids.“

“Mercato Della Pesceria was phenomenal. They had great options for our kids, and the pasta was perfectly al dente. We got the tableside tiramisu and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. Definitely a must if you are in Miami. Also, our waiter, Nery was super helpful and kind ; )“

“We had dinner on September 8th. I ordered the Paella which was amazing ! We also had the Key Lime pie with the crust made from pecans. It was also delicious. Our server and the overall staff were very attentive and professional. Just a great experience.“

“well I'm going to start off by saying that they got an Amazing variety of delicious plates but my favorite which I highly recommend is the ceviche mixto con conchas negras is just the best ceviche you have ever had in your life!!!!!... the yellow rice with seafood also one of my favorites and of course a good variety of beers served the way it should be ....ice cold!!!!.

“I recently enjoyed dining again at Sushi Bichi, a casual culinary experience that exceeded all my expectations. The outdoor atmosphere and festive diners perfectly combined for an early Saturday dinner. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the rest of the visit. The sushi at Sushi Bichi is nothing short of spectacular. Each piece is a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The freshness of the fish is evident in every bite, and the skill of the sushi chefs is truly impressive. Whether traditional or creative rolls, each dish is a delightful surprise for the taste buds. I enjoyed the yellowtail and the crispy rice, which were more than enough to fill me up. In addition to the fantastic sushi, Sushi Bichi's drink selection was excellent. The Watermelon cocktail is delicious (and packs a punch). The sake menu was extensive, offering a variety of choices to complement the meal perfectly if that is your thing. I particularly enjoyed the recommendations from the knowledgeable staff, who were attentive and friendly throughout the evening. The bar was very busy and lively at 5 pm, so I would recommend it for post-beach (which is within walking distance) or after-work cocktails. Overall, my two experiences at Sushi Bichi were flawless. The combination of exceptional sushi, excellent drinks, and top-notch service makes this restaurant a true gem in Japanese cuisine. The locals love this place, so give it a try. I highly recommend Sushi Bichi to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. This is a place for casual fun and excellent sushi, whether you're alone or with a group. You will feel welcomed and make sure to come hungry. Reservations recommended.“

“Can’t wait to come back! Every meal at this restaurant is worth the price. We came and were able to utilize the Thursday deals for our group. Tried a little of lost things and not a single menu item disappointed. So grateful to have found this place and hope to make it back as soon as possible. Our server Sophia was not only attentive but thoughtful and kind hearted. She was a pivotable part of our experience and dare I say the meal itself was more then just a meal. We left feeling full, healthy and emotionally refreshed. Will be counting down till our next visit!“

“This is in all aspects a fantastic restaurant it’s pretty inside prices are reasonable all of the food we tried from the rice dishes, the fried you can calamari, and of course the city chairs with delicious, well balanced, and generously proportion. Even the kids menu steak was a real high-quality skirt steak that my son left not one bit leftover highly highly recommended.“

“Gorgeous & delicious food with an amazing venue. We were eating a late dinner, and there were several private parties happening with karaoke, loud music, plates breaking, etc. that were mildly disruptive to our experience. But overall, worth the money and trip. Will be back next year for sure with friends in tow!“

“Cool Italian Restaurant on the corner before you reach the crowds on Espanola Way. Start off with a half glass of Prosecco on the house. Great Caesar Salad followed by short rib ravioli and homemade long rigatoni fra diablo. We will be back.“

“Dined at the social for brunch, excellent service from Celeste who was our server! The frozen drinks were very big and nice for the hot weather. Definitely recommend this place and Celeste.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible to the sidewalk part of the restaurant.“

“The cutest place in Miami to have a great breakfast. We were in many other cafés before until we found this one & it is the best one. It is cheaper than all the others & the owner prepares everything fresh & is super nice! You have a large selection & the food is great.“

“As a Hilton Diamond Member me and my family had a wonderful experience for my mother’s birthday celebration. Dordije, Ramsy, Lorenzo, and specially Danny from the Greek restaurant made our night super special. Danny’s customer service was super amazing they made me and my family feel welcomed. I would definitely recommend coming to this hotel very good experience. Also the hotel staff was super nice and helpful. Frankie, Orlando and the other hotel bellboy (i forgot his name) were also super helpful and attentive.“

They scratched and grazed my car.Aside from that… dinner was amazing. Service was great. The pasta special and zucchini blossoms were delicious.. the Dover sole was amazing! .“

“We were there Monday May 1st 2023. The food was amazing !! Best Salmon I have ever had. Our waitress Sandra was an absolute delight!!!

“We went to this hotel restaurant 2 days in a row last time in Miami. So of course we had to go there again this time. The food and service was as amazing as we remembered. Especially the popovers! We introduced those to our friends and they loved it too. The place itself is classy and elegant, and the price is rather reasonable! This is one of the few places that we feel the 20% mandatory tip is totally worthwhile. We will sure go there again next time when we are in Miami.“

“Beautiful art decor surroundings, very attentive and friendly staff and the food is amazing! We had Caprese Salad & Salmon with bacon pasta, followed by an amazing Tirimasu & selection of ice-creams. Compliments to the chef ?Our server was Enio and couldn't have been more helpful. I would highly recommend Cavalier Hotel on Ocean Drive ?“

“Watr is one of my favorite rooftops in Miami because of its chic decor, relaxed ambiance, and fantastic views. This rooftop lies above 1 Hotel which has a modern lobby with spacious seating and a central theme around nature. Their beautiful pools, trees, and views make this place picture-worthy. I did not get a chance to try food from their menu but I would come back for dinner when I am in the mood for Japanese cuisine. The drinks are a little overpriced but the location and service make up for it. Can't wait for my next visit!“

“We found this place, and we are so glad we did. The service was friendly and professional. Our waiter was very good at recommending dishes and helping with any questions we had regarding the menu. The starters, mains, and dessert were all delicious and beautifully presented.“

“This place was excellent and as delicious as the food I had in Lima. There was a review from someone who ate here “for real food that was actually healthy” and was “disappointed”, to which I saw she didn’t order much healthy from the menu (fried fish instead of ceviche lol?). Do not come here for healthy food. Come here to taste authentic Peruvian food with incredible flavors, helpful staff, and a casual atmosphere. The food may take a while to come out, but it’s worth the wait!I recommend the lomo saltado and ceviche trị-color in a variety of seafood mix. Would definitely return!“

“We had the oysters, the red snapper, the branzino, and the rice pilaf on the side. Absolutely beautiful inside with a lovely outdoor space overlooking a pool. The food was fresh and delicious and good size portions. They also make a mean dirty martini. Definitely would come back and try their other dishes!“

“This has been a wonderful stay. The hotel is very unique yet luxurious. The staff here especially Wendell and Lizette have been great and very accommodating! We ate breakfast on our last day and that too was top notch. The beach is right across the way and you have access to beach chairs with your stay as well. We will definitely come back, thank you Pelican Team Members for a memorable time!“

“My recent visit to the locust was truly a delightful experience from start to finish. The food was fabulous, ranging from the appetizer of nachos to the burgers and steaks. However, the only downside I found was the limited dessert options available on the menu.One of the highlights of our dining experience was the exceptional service provided by Paula. From the moment we arrived, she greeted us with warmth and friendliness. Not only did she provide us with excellent recommendations on food, but she also shared valuable insights about Miami. What impressed me the most was how she attentively listened to my daughter's picky eating preferences and ensured that everything on the table was prepared exactly to her liking.Paula's dedication to ensuring our satisfaction made this one of the best service experiences we have had at a casual restaurant. Our evening was truly enjoyable, and we look forward to returning before heading home and on our next visit to Miami.Overall, locust offers a fantastic dining experience with delicious food and exceptional service. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable meal in Miami. We will definitely be back!“

“Last day on vacation and had to try this place! Food was delicious but the service lacked a little. Sat outside and kinda felt forgotten about. Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was good. Potion sixes were good for the price. If you go you HAVE to get the scallops, melt in your mouth good!“

“Best breakfast we had whilst staying in South Beach. Cute little restaurant, tastefully decorated, with indoor & outdoor seating. Service was friendly, best coffee in had in Miami! Food was delicious (kids loved the massive pancake with berries) and we look forward to returning.“

“What a special place - the food and service at Prime Fish is top notch. The tuna, black grouper imperial, and sea bass are some of the best entrees we've ever had. Make sure to try the char-grilled octopus as a starter - incredible. Hugo our server was delightful! So kind, energetic, knowledgable - really went above and beyond to make our experience great. Thank you Prime Fish!“

“Review for Gonzalo, Waiter at Montis:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Gonzalo is an outstanding waiter at Montis! His attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and exceptional service truly enhance the dining experience. He goes above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels welcomed and taken care of. Gonzalo's professionalism and efficiency make dining at Montis a delight. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting the restaurant. Keep up the fantastic work, Gonzalo!“

“After renting a cabana on the beach, for 4 hours, we were famished! Found this great spot. The cucumber and lime cocktail ? was amazing so I had 2, service was outstanding and food was even better. When I'm in Miami again we'll definitely go back.Vegetarian options: They had delicious fresh fruit ?? bowl.“

“For Miami I think the prices were really great for the value. Mom got the fried fish and chips and said that the batter was different from regular fish and chips but in the best way (not super oily and heavy). I had the crab and shrimp combo they had and it was very delicious and filling. Happy to come back for casual seafood in south beach.Can’t say much about the outdoor atmosphere, looked fairly busy. We sat inside and service was slow but might have been because they were taking care of the outdoor guests.“

“I needed to get my loster roll fix while in FL for vacation from Canada. Now, what does one do when one can't decide what to order? One gets everything their little heart desires HAHA The lobster bisque, the classic lobster roll, the king crab roll, the Poseidon Roll and the lobster taco were to die for. I will be coming back here the next time I'm in Miami!“

“This was such an amazing restaurant!! The pasta is homemade and delicious. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating for any food preferences. Be sure to try some of their stuffed pasta.The pistachio ice cream was one of the best I’ve ever had!“

“This spot was a hidden gem for a family breakfast at a decent price. Best Cafe Latte ever had. Forget Starbucks! They had small bites, guava empanadas, croquettes, eggs (fried/scrambled), pancakes, sausages. The service was friendly and popular amongst locals. Also visited for dinner.“

“This place is sooooo good! Choice to eat inside or outside. Nothing fancy but it doesn’t need to be. I always end up paying for atmosphere and subpar food. This place hits the marks where it counts and great friendly service. Get the crab dip! Fresh crab and artichokes, and the bread… drooling over it. Had the fried fish which was so flaky but not overly breaded, and the lobster roll is on potato bread and grilled, incredibly fresh lobster, beautiful color. You will NOT be disappointed. Drinks will hit you by the end of the meal. Magdalena was so nice and so patient but not overly talkative (I’m introvert so that’s huge for me) This is the one Lincoln. This staff deserves all the praise. Well done. Coming back again on Sunday!“
