Stubborn Seed - Miami Beach

From first entering to leaving everything was to perfection. Food was fantastic and every course explained in detail. Wine pairing was very good too. Hope to visit again before we move back to the Uk in Feb. Lesia made us feel so welcome excellent service

Muy buena a excelente comida y servicio. No hay olor a comida en el salon. Precio acorde a la comida. Respetaron el horario de la reserva, no espere la mesa. Mejorar la ambientación. La ambientación es pobre.

Amazing experience! Went there on a Monday night to celebrate a special milestone. Ricky was extremely attentive and kind. His enthusiasm for the food came through with service. As far as food and cocktails, the tasting menu is top notch. You start out thinking it won’t be enough food at the end, but the pacing and portions are spot on. By the time dessert come, you have just enough room for it. Definitely well priced for what it is, a great experience and special occasion dinner.

I’ve been to Stubborn Seed three times now. The food is wonderful and the service when you are in the restaurant is excellent.

So why the one star? Well this is the second time now I’ve been forced to canceled my reservation with them because of alterations the resteraunt made after I had made a reservation.

A month prior to my reservation I selected a 6-course meal. I was called two weeks before (just yesterday) and told that I needed to pay more for more courses because they wouldn’t be offering a six course meal that night any more. I love their food but nine or eleven courses was not what I signed up for nor what I want to say for if I don’t want to eat all that to begin with… No night during my stay is a six course meal being offered so I had to cancel my reservation. Now I’m struggling to find another reservation in town that same night two weeks before I go on my trip.

This is really crumby costumer service and frankly false advertising. This is breaking so many rules of hospitality. Don’t offer something you don’t have. If you’re going to expect someone to pay more even though it’s not what they chose then compensate them for it some how. Respect costumers time. If a mistake is made, own it.

Not only that I had a person taking my call that said “well it’s Art Basel”…. As if that’s an excuse. Stubborn Seed knew it was Art Basel a year ago. Plan better! All that means is there’s even more reason not to force someone to cancel their reservation only two weeks ahead of time!

If this was not the second time something like this happened I’d be cool with it but seems like this place doesn’t know how to plan or act when plans change.

Amazing experience! Our server Luis was exceptional and really made our night special. The food was fantastic start to finish. Jordan was great too. Will definitely be back soon.

The food is amazing—it’s a full 9-step experience with different flavors in each course. You can also pair the experience with wine if you want to. The portions are perfect, the flavors are incredible, and the dessert isn’t too sweet, which I loved. The service was excellent, and the hostess was incredibly kind and sweet.

Utterly brilliant in every way. The food was amazing. Well worth our trip from London to eat there (we made a stop off from London to Key West) the service from ALL the staff was exceptional and the food was just phenomenal. We had the 6 course set menu and we were full at the end but woke this morning wishing we had gone for the 9 course menu. If you can go then do. Thank you to all the staff for making our evening perfect

This was our first time visiting this spot, we were guest invited by a friend. The food and service was amazing!! Our server Luis was spot on his descriptions & recommendations. We were sat quickly, and food came out in perfect increments. The cocktails were absolutely first rate. My girl had the Lycheerose, it was so good, and such a pretty cocktail. All the drinks were fantastic I have to say. One of the other servers told us they had a guest bartender, Joel. I know him from one of our favorite restaurants in Coral gables. He;s the best! I can't say enough about the food, the cocktails, and the seamless service we received. The manager gets a high marks as well for checking in on us multiple times, and making sure our every wish was granted. Thank you to all, we will be back soon!!

My first experience in a Michelin star restaurant in the USA. My wife and I eat in many Michelin star restaurants in both the UK and across Europe. In fact we own a Michelin star restaurant in the UK. There are no issues with the food, the service or the ambience however there was a party of 7 or 8 women that were unbelievably loud and with a semi industrial decor there is nothing to absorb load talking. Fit some sound absorption please but that's my only issue. Everything else spot on.

A destination dining experience in South Beach. Incredibly delicious and complex dishes along with great service.

We were looking forward to a dining experience in this Michelin Star restaurant. After dining in Michelin restaurants around the world we truly appreciate both the effort to rate the restaurants as well as to create and maintain a restaurant at that level of excellence. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in the Stubborn Seed. Although the staff was very friendly, the level of service was less than perfect. It did not have the usual flow of a Michelin restaurant. The food was on the salty side. Some of the dishes required a knife to eat but was not offered as a utensil. The brioche was not as fresh as should be. That said, the wine by the glass selection was great along with wine temperature and glass ware. Although the restaurant has no control of the noise value, the large birthday group was very loud... Unfortunately, will not come back.

Stubborn Seed has to be one of THE MOST interesting restaurants in Miami. Incredible presentation, food is exceptional, the staff knows the menu and the experience goes beyond the “wanna be” places. Ricardo was our server and did an amazing job.

We had an excellent dining experience tonight. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service made the evening truly exceptional. Ricardo, our server, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and on point throughout the meal. Michael, the manager, was exceptionally welcoming and accommodating, adding a personal touch that elevated the whole experience. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for great food paired with truly top-tier hospitality.

Wow! Amazing & creative dishes, beautifully plated! Each member of the staff a well trained professional with a genuine, kind attitude! An exceptional experience that made our anniversary dinner truly memorable!!

The Best Food in Miami!!!!! Lesia the best super nice!!! I will come Monday for my birthday!!!!
