“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!“

“I absolutely love wings, and I can honestly say I’ve found my new go-to place to enjoy them. The wings always come out fresh, hot, and delicious, and the service is truly a 10/10.

The manager, Danny, has made our dining experience incredible. He is welcoming, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel taken care of. It’s always a pleasure coming in and knowing you’re going to have a great experience.

The atmosphere is also fantastic. With so many TVs throughout the restaurant, it’s the perfect place to enjoy some great food while watching your favorite games. This Sports Grill has definitely become one of my favorite places to go, and I’ll be coming back.“

“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!“

“Restaurant lived up to the hype! Phenomenal experience from start to finish. Excellent service and fun, lively atmosphere. Food and cocktails were 10/10. The southern chicken dish was some of the best fried chicken I've had. The flavor was deeper, more complex than your typical fried chicken. House-made pickles and pimento biscuits were the perfect compliment. Collard greens were definitely top 3 all time. Pork chop was slightly overcooked but still delicious. Mashed potatoes and crispy onions with the chop were fantastic. High booze content in the cocktails - got your money's worth. The DJ was just getting going outside as we were leaving. Wish we could've stayed and partied all night. Really appreciated the complimentary ice cream for my wife's birthday. Will definitely be back!“

“Last Sunday we visit Salao Cuban Bar .As always every thing was amazing.Thanks for the food the beauty of the place and THE MUSIC wich is faboulous(violin a great duo“

“Coyo Taco was recommended and we loved it. The Service staff was really nice and the best tacos we ever had. We definitely come back when we are on holidays again. Thank you!“

“Went for their anniversary celebration. The food as usual did not disappoint. We opted for the dumpling appetizer and the pork belly and curry noodle specials. Our server Natalia was on point! Service is always good there, but she went above and beyond. Friendly and professional. Knowledgeable about the food and drinks. Offered excellent recommendations. She made us feel so welcome that we almost didn't want to leave. This place always leaves us looking forward to our next visit. Thank you for a great time and meal. Glad to have you as our neighborhood gem. Happy anniversary!“

“DJ was awesome and drinks were on point“

“Classy! Great food, drinks and music.“

“El servicio es excelente, la comida deliciosa, nos atendio Jenni una chica muy profesional y con una sonrisa encantadora. De seguro regresaremos.“

“I’m not sure if he’s upper management, the owner, or simply just a phenomenal server who really cares for the business, but every time I come, the service is always welcoming, but there is one man in particular who always introduces the drinks to the person who orders them, telling the story, and ending his explanation with a nice “cheers”. He does this for each person. It’s very personable, and you can see that he cares about the drinks and the craft of such unique, worldly takes on cocktails. It’s a place I always recommend for a cozy, laidback vibe, but also one that still feels upscale. The only thing is that I wish they had different music than the food hall - the food hall’s music is pretty atrocious and doesn’t complement the otherwise sleek yet down to earth vibe of the bar. Cheers!“

“French Apple. Pomme de terrre“

“First time there . As soon as I walked through the door I was led to an empty seat and immediately shown how to see the menu . Promptly given some cold water as i was walking around the area and a bit hot so it was perfect while i checked over the menu . As soon as i put the online menu down I was asked what I would like to order . I ordered the cheeseboard and a Daphne Hates sherry cocktail made by bartender Daniel . It was great . He was super hospitable and made sure I was enjoying my time . I cannot lie he made me feel like family and showed me great service . I noticed how busy he was and he handled all orders with ease while still checking in on me and making sure I was enjoying my experience, which I did . The ambience, the decor, the positive vibe of people and staff emphasis on the bartender Daniel, I will for sure be returning and mentioning to friends to check it out .“

“Ball & Chain was one of the highlights of my Miami trip! I was on a tour and short on time, but our waitress Pamela took great care of us. She got our food out quickly, and she was so sweet, kind, and full of great energy the whole time.

As a vegetarian, I always struggle to find places with food that actually tastes good, but this place hit a bull’s eye. The veggie wrap was packed with flavor, and the fries tasted like real fresh potatoes! We finished with churros, and honestly, they might be the best churros I’ve ever had.

Everything was fresh, the service was fantastic, and I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Miami. A must!!!“

“I visited Terras since I was staying at Jefferson Hotel and Terras is conventiently located on the top floor of hotel. I decided to have dinner there and I did not regret my decision. The meal I selected was excellent, delicious!! Manuel greeted me with a genuine smile. He made a delicious margarita for me and althought he was tending to other customers at the bar where I sat, he made me feel so comfortable while I waited for my takeout meal. I informed him that I was visiting Miami for the first time. I asked him where is the best place for breakfast and he told me SW 8th St. I really appreciated the time he took with me. Terras has a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere and he even suggested that I should check out the skyline. I took a few picture as it was Beautiful at dusk. I will make it a point to visit Terras on my next journey to Miami. Thank you Manuel for being your authentic self!!“

“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“

“What a hidden gem! Delicious food and even better service. The kind of place where you feel like a regular even on your first time coming. Juan was incredible and attentive, especially when one of us got a stain on our shirt and he came right over with sparkling water and a Tide pen!“

“Came in expecting a nice dinner and ended up having a whole night out. We had dinner at the restaurant next door, then came over to thebar for a drink. Great music, great food, great drinks and great service. Definitely more than just a restaurant.“

“Our experience at Elia was amazing the food, ambiance and service were a 10/10. Our waiter was extremely nice and sweet, and was able to accommodate us perfectly when we needed to switch tables. Would definitely return to try more of the menu and would recommend Orlando as your waiter!“

“Best sound system I’ve experienced to date. I try to visit listening rooms in new cities and Miami Sound Bar was the winner. The environment was warm and welcoming and the sound quality at Miami Sound Bar was exceptional. 🏆🏆🏆“

“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.“

“Awsome service food quality. Great pizza & Veronica #1 server. God Bless you“

“We had an amazing dinner at Ghee in Wynwood. I would go so far as to say this is the best service we’ve ever had in Miami. The host was incredibly welcoming and gave us great recommendations, our server also gave us great recommendations, and Erica assisted our tabled and was so lovely. We will definitely be back! Our favorite dish was the short rib dosa, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.“

“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!“

“It's Excellent food services“

“Ten out of ten. Mother Wolf Miami delivered one of the best Italian meals I’ve had outside of Italy, honestly, I’d imagine this is close to the real thing.

We started with the panzanella salad, which was fresh and perfectly balanced. The lamb chops were cooked beautifully, and the gnocchi were pillowy soft with incredible flavor. We finished with the tiramisu, which was the perfect ending to the meal.

Our server, Ryan, made the night even better , attentive, knowledgeable, and just genuinely great to have at our table.

Can’t recommend this place enough. Already thinking about when we can go back.“

“The food was exceptional, the flavours and quality were amazing. The only thing to rival the food was the service we received from Zadkiel, we’re from England and new to Miami, this is the first of many visits and if the service we receive while we are here is half as good, we’ll leave happy. We will be back.“

“We brought our aunt to the Las Olas location for her 75th Birthday. We all had a different cut of meat and they all were excellent and cooked perfectly. The Sausage and Empenadas were also very good. Service was top notch, you definitely know you are having a fine dining experience. Wish we weren’t here just on vacation it would be our new regular place for steak. Hopefully they will continue to expand up the coast and eventually open a location in our home city of Daytona Beach“

“Demi was literally the best waitress ever! She was so sweet and attentive, made us amazing drinks. She went above and beyond to make sure that we had an amazing experience, I haven’t seen my friends in months and was basically dying to see them lol shout out to Demi for making it such an amazing night for all of us to get together. Will definitely come again, and I loved talking to her. We ordered a whole bunch of drinks between me and my friends and everything was so good, every time we finished one she come to clean up the table without fail. And all of her recommendations were on point, she recommended us a Gnocchi with pear and it was possibly the best gnocchi I’ve ever had. One of the cooks who was a guy asked how the food was and he was genuinely so kind. He had an Italian accent so we knew our pasta was in good hands lol. Overall 10/10 experience, do recommend“

“Increíble atmósfera. Me encantó la música, la comida y los tragos. Gracias a Emily que nos atendió. Súper atenta y muy educada a la hora de dirigirse a nosotros. Todas sus recomendaciones estuvieron “on point” tanto en comida como en tragos. Pedimos hoocka y tambien estaba muy buena, unas de las mejores. Sin duda alguna volveré a Mayami. Is a “must to go” place ??“
