Everything seems homemade and they have some of the best French fries I’ve ever had. I got the veggie burger with a lettuce wrap (vegan option). The vibe is also cool with a lot of character. A mix of locals and tourists alike. Service was okay despite Saturday night crowds.“

“What a fine cute little restaurant tucked inside what seems like a jungle hideaway. The music is tropical and inviting the bar is half filled with patrons as I currently write this and it’s my second time here. the first time I had the chicken Parm it was excellent this next time I’m getting the burger Because as it turned out they’re out of the chicken Parm. Margo is that cute little restaurant that fits the need of a local spot as well as a reasonable destination if you’re trying to go somewhere new definitely recommend check it out“

“Went on a Saturday night, it was really busy and crammed which is to be expected since it’s a small place. I got the bright melon drink, which was pretty good, the music was good. Would go back on a weeknight instead. It’s a nice lounge, but definitely too crowded on the weekend.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wxyz is an incredible bar inside the Aloft Hotel in Doral, its warm and intimate decoration personifies. It is elegant and also allows a casual atmosphere. Perfect for a date or drinks after work with friends. Creative cocktails and friendly bartenders“

“I was here for a specific reason, to craft my own pizza, which was NOT on the menu. The women at the front said “You can ask, but I am not entirely sure” and that was good enough for me.The bartender, Chris, was extremely helpful and personable, and I wanted to create my own personal pizza, so he called out a chef to help me.One of the chefs, Tony an experienced foodie from NY, came out to discuss the order I wanted and told me it would be a little pricier as I wanted a “fat sandwich pizza” a staple from where I am in NJ and where I went to college.This pizza is a white pizza with no sauce besides buffalo drizzled over the top piled high with mozzarella cheese, french fries, chicken tender pieces and mozzarella sticks.The pizza was AMAZING, one of the best fat sango’s I had ever eaten, maybe they will put it on their menu for me :-).The price was $35 for this one pizza as the bartender whom was extremely busy accidentally charged me for a cheese pizza + a side of all the toppings. The chef corrected this mistake and comp’d me a bruschetta as he could not charge back what I paid with.Apparently restaurants starting with B in Wynwood have something in common, friendly, experienced staff and fantastic food.I introduce myself to make conversation at every restaurant and Baccano went above and beyond with my experience.“

“"I recently visited this BBQ restaurant and had a good experience overall. The food was tasty and had a nice smoky flavor, and the portions were generous. The atmosphere was casual and laid-back, which was perfect for a BBQ joint. The service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made sure our needs were met. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the mood for some good BBQ."“

“El salmón está delicioso!!“

“That chicken sandwich the mother clucker was sooooooo big I’m telling you premium chicken breast so big you have to eat half of the chicken breast on the side I had a toro toro chicken sandwich but this one is amazing oh and that burger the burger is amazing food is top tier“

“The staff is wonderful! the food us 😋😋😋“

“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.

“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!“
