“Sports Grill never disappoints! Every time I visit, the food is consistently amazing, the atmosphere is fun and welcoming, and all of the bartenders and servers are incredibly friendly and attentive.

I recently catered an event for my residents in Fort Lauderdale, and I have to give a huge shoutout to the manager, Danny. He personally delivered our catering order all the way to Fort Lauderdale and was so accommodating throughout the entire process. His customer service went above and beyond, making everything seamless from start to finish.

The food was a huge hit—every single one of my residents loved it! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’ll definitely be catering with Sports Grill again. Thank you, Danny and the entire Sports Grill team, for the outstanding service and delicious food!“

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

“French Apple. Pomme de terrre“

“What detracts from the experience is the disconnect between the vibe of the bar and looking into the food court on the first floor. The cocktails and food were great though.

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

“Cocktails are amazing, beautiful balanced flavor and really exciting signature cocktails with a fancy preparation technique.
The only downside is that the staff seemed a bit disorganized, waiting for cocktails took long, some small bits were forgotten. It looks like a starting out bar trying to find its groove, but for the cocktails of this quality it’s worth it!“

“I loved the food and the live music. The drinks were great from the bar. The initial service was great, but once it became busy, it took the server a while to come back and check on us. Food 10/10. The ropa vieja and the chicharones were delicious!“

“The vibes at this place was nothing short from perfection. Experience here was truly magnificent, and honestly our time here would not be as momentous without Yancy’s oversight, attention to detail, and amazing personality with her service.“

“A friend said this is one of the best burgers they had. They took me to try it. I’ll give it a 6/10. I just found it too greasy and they have it only Monday for limited quantity. The homemade pickles and bread were good. Drinks were also great. We parked at the hotel which is $21 for three hours and you can get a discount for the store. $16 for parking, $20 for a burger. They should try to get a better discount for the parking.“

“Agusto & Ronaldo were amazing!! Very attentive, kind, and amazing service. Came here for the first time with family to celebrate my birthday and it was unforgettable. Would definitely come back. Food was delicious as well, highly recommend coming here!“

“Our server Ilber was out of this world!!! We don’t even knew we wanted it and it was there and it was exactly what we needed!!! Excellent service! He is the best!!! Ask for Ilber!!!!!“

“Mamo is a must if you like sensational food, impeccable service and a stunning setting. The Chef Salvatore, is without a doubt Oscar winning in the Restaurant world. I recommend this restaurant very highly. You will not be disappointed, trust me.“

“Met up with a friend here on Wednesday night- who was in from out of town. As soon as I walked in I was struck by the cool -intimate vibe of the whole place. It was one of those moments where I didn’t feel like I was in Miami anymore- in a good way. The Dj was a vibe - and the female bartender greeted me instantly and offered me a menu and a glass of water. The place was the right amount of busy for a Wednesday - but not over crowded. I didn’t drink alcohol but I had a really good time- which says a lot in and of itself. Would love if they had some non alcoholic drink options on the menu-but maybe thats asking too much- lol. either way- would def be back for the vibes.“

“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.“

“De los mejores, en sus preparaciones sientes todo el sabor y sazón de la comida peruana. Altamente recomendado!“

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

“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 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“

“Our group was BLOWN AWAY by the atmosphere, service and most importantly the amazing dishes. Yeah the snacks (gunpowder popcorn and roasted peanuts) are awesome but the Papaya Salad was an experience and the Sag Paneer was the best any of us have ever had. Hot damn, the Ghost Pepper Cheddar Nan and Truffle Brie Nan were unique and amazing. The Lamb Neck was fall off the bone stupendous and the Tandoori Chicken was authentic and the best we all have ever had. The people were exceptional. This place is a real find.“

“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“

“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“
