The place is small, its beautiful bar and the tasting lasts 3 hours and the dishes are small but with incredible flavors, the attention of the waiters is impeccable. I give a very special thank you to Ramon Atencio for his service and the wine recommendation, which was spectacular.

The food was quite good, but the entire meal and experience was marred by extremely bad service. Our main server was not attentive and was condescending and rude when he did appear. After being seated for two hours and only receiving 6 of the 8 courses, we questioned the fact that our service stopped, while others who arrived much later than we did were receiving their checks. We were told that our next course would be out in 3-5 minutes. Twenty minutes later we were served the duck. Forty minutes after that we finally able to settle up and leave…three hours after we first arrived. (Our reservation was scheduled 7:00-8:30 and we weren’t able to leave until 10:00). There was no obvious leadership in the dining room and no manager visited us to explain or rectify the situation.

TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!! Just finished the tasting menu with my wife. This was our first time at Stubborn Seed. Amazing food. Amazing service. The pinnacle was the dry aged duck, but—no kidding—my wife and I both agreed this was the best dining experience we have ever had.

Expectations were high, and they were met. Gor the enhanced 10 course tasting menu, everything was amazing.

Flawless experience throughout. Service, plating and flavor were some of the best we have experienced in a restaurant. The accommodating pescatarian tasting menu exceeded expectations, truly a memorable meal

This is my second time here, 2nd tasting menu, and it just keeps getting better. Excellent service, preparation, presentation and everything is always fresh and new. The cocktails are delicious. I highly recommend for any special night out. They were even able to accommodate my gluten restrictions. The foie gras and duck were standouts.

Fantastic selection! Every course had this „wow“ effect! Have been to many star restaurants, so I am able to compare. Price wise it is rather on the higher side for a one-star compared to European restaurants, but hey it is Miami! Highly recommend this place!

Our latest experience was less than stellar. However, this may have been a one-off. We have eaten at Stubborn Seed previously and it was tremendous. That said, the food quality (particularly the seafood) was good. The overall amount of food was small (even after 7 courses). Obviously, these courses are not intended to be full servings but the previous experiences did not leave us hungry after all the courses were complete.
Relaxed Michelin star restaurants like this one are my favourite. The service is amazing and genuine without being exaggeratedly pretentious and stiff like other Michelin stars restaurants. Food was superb, every dish was better than the previous one. Overall a great experience.
Incredible 9 (really 10) course tasting. Every dish was thoughtful and delicious. Very experienced front of house that can speak intelligently about food and wine list. Only issue was timing. We were sat 20min after our reservation and the first course took 45min to arrive after seating. But the food and service more than made up for those delays.

I had a fantastic experience at the restaurant! My friend and I sat at the bar, ordered the facundo drinks, and were impressed by both the drinks and the food. Everything we had was delicious, but the mushroom risotto was probably the best I've ever had. The chicken was equally delightful, as everything else we tried.A special shoutout to Jordan, the food runner, and the bartender who served us (unfortunately I forgot her name). Besides the amazing food, the service made our visit truly enjoyable. Highly recommend!

I was looking for an amazing restaurant in Miami and I found it. I loved every dish on the tasting menu. Sophisticated, full of flavour, nicely presented. Nothing but good things to say. Go! You won't be disappointed.
Food and service felt un-practiced. Presentation was excellent and flavor was there, I felt as if there were just a few things lacking that if rectified would have made the experience better. Very high price tag for the meal that was presented.

Second time at Stubborn Seed and it's our favorite place to eat in Miami. Amazing food & top notch service! Can't wait to come back and try the Spring & Summer menus!
