“Delicious!! I loved everything“

“We came to Fort Wayne Indiana yesterday from Ohio for me to make a purchase at one of your local shops there and ended up going BurgerFi to eat before heading back to Ohio. First time ever eating there.Myself and my husband both really enjoyed, the hamburgers were phenomenal and the fries were just as good. I would recommend this place if anybody. BurgerFi definitely needs to bring their establishment to Ohio especially northwest Ohio.“

“Friendly, comfortable and cozy this is another Blue Collar gem. I came for the happy hour 5-6:30 and had three items and a amber ale draft. Now that that’s done; I’m coming back for the regular menu. Clams casino, oysters on the half shell and seared scallops were absolutely the bomb! Try it!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit at Miami Airport!

Had a long layover at the Miami Airport and decided to stop by Corona Beach House and wow, what a great choice! We ordered the chorizo queso and chicken sandwiches, and both were incredible. The chorizo queso, in particular, was hands-down the best I’ve ever had in my life… so good that we actually ordered another one to go and packed it in our backpack for the flight!

A huge shout-out to Joanna, our amazing server, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. She even checked on our flight time to ensure we wouldn’t miss our connection. Her kindness and attention to detail truly made our experience exceptional.

If you ever find yourself traveling through Miami International Airport, Corona Beach House is an absolute must-stop. They even have an express area designed to accommodate travelers on the go. Don’t miss it — and be sure to ask for Joanna!“

“Delicious food, a shock to the taste buds“

“Firsy things first, This restaurant is now called Celias. We were looking for Biscayne Tavern and walked right past it twice lol. Went inside the hotel and they let us know we were in the right spot and that the name had changed. The food was very tasty and served hot. The Mahi Mahi sandwich was seasoned perfectly and the cilantro sauce was delicious. We had a few drinks that were also delicious. Overall its a nice place, decorated beautifully with tropical colors and accents.“

Jasmin was absolutely amazing, friendly, attentive, and made our dining experience feel effortless and enjoyable from start to finish. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, checked in with perfect timing, and carried herself with genuine warmth and professionalism. The food was great, but Jasmin’s service truly made the evening memorable. We’ll definitely be back and hope to have her again! She always knows my order without me having to tell her. Yes, she's that good.“

“We’ve been to Marcus Samuelsson’s restaurant in the Bahamas, Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chop House and also got a chance to see him do a food demonstration at SOBEWFF 2024. He seems like a genuine guy and a down to earth chef. I actually watched him on Top Chef. We were blown away with everything we had at his Bahamas location. So when we realized he had a restaurant here in Miami, we decided to check it out during our staycation in Brickell. Red Rooster Overtown was only about 10 min from our hotel so that was perfect.

This restaurant was also a part of the InKind app which we use so it was ideal, they actually offered a separate $50 off $150 discount directly from restaurant’s website.

Our reservation was for 7:30pm on a Saturday night. It wasn’t crazy busy when we arrived. Our server was Katie and she immediately made a good impression on us. Katie was incredibly personable, funny and full of energy! I loved her positive vibe. We double checked on the InKind thing and she confirmed but also let us know that she uses it too so she totally gets it. I felt like our whole dinner experience was just chatting it up. Haha. Loved how engaging she was. It was very easy to talk to her and she was a wonderful server that just went above and beyond.

Everything we ordered:
• Marqueta cocktail $18.00
• Brownstoner cocktail $15.00
• Lexington Deviled Eggs $12.00
• The Grilled Pearl $23.00
• Tuna Crudo $23.00
• Coconut Smoked Oxtails $41.00
• Ice Cream Sandwich $14.00
• Drip Coffee $4.00

Marqueta was my drink, it was a tequila based drink with Don Julio blanco, harissa, chambord, luxardo, pineapple, lime. Smooth and refreshing. Hubby had the Brownstoner which had nutmeg Bulleit bourbon, St. Germaine elderflower, cherry heering. His drink was strong. Didn’t love it but he didnt want to return it either.

Lexington Deviled Eggs were good. The Grilled Pearl which were grilled oysters with brown crab and chili crunch, this had good flavor and potential but I think it was a tad fishy than it was fresh tasting. Tuna Crudo was delicious and was a thick generous cut, really loved the ponzu and burnt orange flavors. Super fresh tuna.

We shared a main course for the Coconut Smoked Oxtails. All the ingredients sounded really interesting. This dish consisted of sweet plantains, yellow rice, long pepper and Thai Basil. Oxtail was a huge serving with three big pieces of oxtail. The peppers were yummy. I don’t recall any sweet plantains? Sauce was good but just a big portion. We had to take most of the dish home.

We ordered the Ice Cream Sandwich for dessert thinking it would be small. Wrong. It was so big that no way we were eating all that so when it arrived, we offered the tables next to us a portion. Gave half to table next to us and another quarter portion to table next to them. Our neighbors were so grateful that we shared our dessert. The quarter we got was just enough and all we needed.

Red Rooster was good but didn’t blow our mind like the other Bahamas spot we went to. Food was 4- stars and honestly, our server Katie was 110% awesome and she made the experience that much better for the full 5-star experience! We would come back again to try other menu items.

Let me close out by saying we had the cornbread and fried chicken from the Bahamas location was 100% worth it so if you get a chance, get those items!!! BOMB and totally legit!!!“

“LOVE! Walter is an amazing server and the staff as a whole is super into it. Watching FSU V Miami and couldn’t imagine a better vibe“

“Stopped in for a light breakfast and some coffee on June 17, 2025. Had a great server by the name of Richie S. He was prompt, polite and professional. The three p's that denotes a great employee. He was also patience and properly groomed, those are rare qualities in today's society. This made my dining experience exceptional, and I have always enjoyed stopping at Denny's when traveling. It also made my day, thanks to Richie and the entire staff of Denny's at 3600 Biscayne Blvd in Miami, Florida.“
