“Excellent food but to expensive“

“Chela’s was a vibe! Great food, fun atmosphere—but the real star was our waitress Liss. Super sweet, attentive, and made the whole night better. We’ll definitely be back! ¡Chela’s estuvo genial! La comida riquísima, el ambiente súper divertido, pero lo mejor fue nuestra mesera Liss. Muy atenta, simpática y nos hizo pasar una noche excelente. ¡Definitivamente volvemos!“

“We chose Anacapri's because it offered Al fresco dining and because of their online menu offerings. The food was authentic and exceptionally delicious. Our server, Paolo, was quite helpful and efficient. When in the area again, we most definitely will return.“

“Exactly what you want in a sports bar. Great wings, servers that treat you like family, cold beers and plenty of screens. Is it fine dining? Nope. Do you want it to be? Absolutely not. Just order yourself a pitcher, some Dale wings, some onion rings and whatever else you desire and enjoy.“

“Incredible experience at Café La Trova. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Libations were perfectly crafted and delicious. Our server, Isis, was amazing—warm, attentive, and made the evening feel extra special. The music and overall vibe were so fun and lively. Highly recommend!“

“Red Rooster did not disappoint. We loved the vibe of the restaurant and were welcomed in by the reception desk for our reservation. Our server Jose was very helpful with making decisions about our selections. We started with the deviled eggs and the hoppin John's salad. Both were great. The salad was very fresh, the dressing was super and it was all finished with crispy chickpeas. My husband got the fried chicken and I got the fish fry. So good. We will be back“

Note that the $300 drink minimum for groups of 6 or more is only for drinks and does not include food.“

“DJ was awesome and drinks were on point“

Terras is an awesome rooftop with a beautiful view of the Miami Downtown skyline. The drinks are super good, the food is delicious, and the vibe is perfect for a chill night out. The staff is really friendly, and the owners, Eileen and Ernesto, make you feel like family. Definitely a spot worth checking out! 🌆🍹“

“This is definitely a hidden gem in downtown Miami and I would love for it to stay that way 😂😂 but seriously it is a cozy, intimate bar with great music and the drinks are really good! I got their version of gin and tonic and it was very refreshing! Their old fashions are also really good. It pays off to show up early like at 10 pm to get a good seat.“

“We had the best first experience at Phuc Yea thanks to our server, Carolina. She was phenomenal from start to finish , so attentive, warm, and knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot on and truly made our meal unforgettable.

She took the time to explain dishes, helped us choose the perfect options, and made us feel completely taken care of. You can tell she genuinely cares about giving guests a great experience.

If it’s your first time, ask for Carolina, she made ours amazing!“

“Sante is a discotheque that fully embraces the soul and rhythm of Venezuela. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is alive with music that celebrates the country’s rich cultural heritage. Unlike typical nightclubs that follow international trends, Sante is dedicated to showcasing the vibrancy of Venezuelan dance music, creating an experience that feels both authentic and exhilarating.

The playlist spans a wide range of genres rooted in Venezuelan tradition—merengue, salsa, gaita, joropo, and newer fusions that blend folklore with electronic beats. Each track feels carefully chosen to keep the energy flowing and the dance floor full. The sound system is crisp and powerful, ensuring that every drum, cuatro, and vocal is felt as much as heard.

The décor matches the music’s spirit, with bright colors, tropical motifs, and warm lighting that invite guests to let loose and enjoy. The crowd is equally dynamic, a mix of locals and visitors eager to experience Venezuelan rhythms in their purest form. Staff members add to the welcoming vibe, ensuring everyone feels part of the celebration.

Sante isn’t just a discotheque—it’s a cultural hub where dance, music, and community meet. For anyone seeking a true Venezuelan nightlife experience, Sante delivers passion, rhythm, and unforgettable memories.“

“Stumbled upon Over Under while visiting the magic city flea market. Wonderful, unexpected surprise. Best Mint Julep I've ever had. $1 oysters were perfect! Burger, fries, cesar salad and Gator bites also perfect. The fries were so tasty we ordered more! Will definitely return.“

“Nice atmosphere and delicious drinks“

“ALONDRA !!! Reina!!! I was hesitant because of the cost of this tour but honestly it was a high- energy and fun afternoon filled with LOTS of rum and great vibes. Book with Alondra if you can- she made the tour worth the money. In a group of about 30-40 people where Alondra helps you connect with fun music and team building questions. If you want a chill and small group experience this is not for you, but if you want party vibes, a $4 cocktail, along with interesting history of the Bacardí family and laughs the whole way, book today with Alondra! Mucho amor“

“Amazing brunch top performance so much energy and talent Thankyou for everything much love the English gays xx“

“I went for an event and tried pizzas ranging in toppings from grapes, to mushroom truffle, to burrata. My favorite was the grape pizza because it added just a hint of unexpected sweetness 🍇. These were accompanied by Lush Life, a tequila-based fruity drink, and April's Passion, which is best described as a spicy margarita made with vodka 🌶🍋. Overall it was a decent vibe with decent food.

“Update to my original review:

The managers reached out to me after my review and were extremely consistent and helpful in their responses. They took the time to work with me, identified the source of the issue (the $85 payment at the door), and handled everything with great professionalism. I truly appreciate how they listened and collaborated to resolve the situation. In the end, the matter was resolved, and they even welcomed me back, assuring me that my next experience will be an even better one.“

“We had an excellent experience at this restaurant—the food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding.“

“Upon arriving, 30 minutes early , their website states you have to be at least 15 minutes early or you will be charged and since they demand a credit in order to have a reservation I do not doubt they will enforce. The ladies at the front tell us they are running late so our 2:30 reservation will now be a 2:45 reservation and it was a big “maybe “, so off we go to wait in the middle of this awful wind, it's almost the time and my son and husband approach again only to be told they don't know how much longer we have to wait but my husband kind of doesn't take no for an answer and keeps insisting on how much longer, we decide to go to another restaurant, get my card off their system when they finally decide to sit us somewhere, the food was good, music very loud for my taste, wind at a minimum, thank god but that waiting and those girls and their attitude, I won't be going back.“

“El salmón está delicioso!!“

“one of my favorite places in Miami😍 Davie“

“Had an amazing lunch at the Dunwoody location! Keke our bartender/server was Great! Amazing personality and helped me with my undecided decisions lol! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Foie-gras was top notch along with the Guinea fowl and the service was A-1, we will be back. Highly Recommend“

“Dorol steakhouse had some of the best food I have ever eaten. The place was quiet and being visitors from the far east coast, the waiter and the team were quite exceptional in their service. Great team specifically Jesus, he was a great server I would recommend to anyone any day! The chef did great even our kids enjoyed their meal. Will definitely comeback! I recommend this restaurant to anyone local or visiting Dorol or Miami area in general.“

“Rainy day in Little Havana meant we had to seek shelter - lucky for us we wandered into Ball & Chain!

Gorgeous bar with fantastic vibes, live music, and great bar staff! Roger was out bartender and he not only made great drinks - he was also a great host for us in our time at the bar.

If you’re around here stop on in - even if it’s sunny.“

“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.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. I always bring my friends here because we always get the best service and the most delicious food. And their desserts are my absolute favorite“

“The place is super nice, consistently attended by its waiters, with excellent service. To start, we had some delicious empanadas. We had sorrentinos and spaghetti for the main course, and they were delicious! And for dessert, dulce de leche pancake with ice cream. Very lovely atmosphere! Highly recommended!“
