“Great first experience at this very romantic and expertly fashioned dining establishment! The staff is very friendly, and eager to meet (and exceed) your expectations. The menu selections are not only creative, but reasonably priced for such a location in Downtown Miami, with combos which include appetizers you can pair with any one of several entrées. The views of the bay from the main and private dining rooms are exceeded ONLY by the waterfront patio area that offers just enough privacy and comfort for its dining guests, while providing an expansive view of the bay.

It truly doesn't get better than this!

I look forward to returning in the coming weeks when business pulls me back to Miami.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

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.

We ordered two chef’s suggestions, and it was a great choice. Both dishes were delicious, well prepared, and full of flavor, showing the quality of the ingredients and attention to detail. The presentation was also very nice, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable.
We were able to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed, in a comfortable and relaxed setting, ideal for spending time together as a couple. The service was excellent throughout our visit: the staff was always attentive, friendly, and very professional, making sure everything was perfect.
Overall, it was a very positive experience, a place we would definitely recommend and happily return to in order to try more of their dishes.“

“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“

“Had a wonderful night tonight! Loved the fact that Heather, the General Manager came over to speak to us. We watched her walk all around with a smile and stop and talk to every table. You know she is happy with her job by her great smile! We will be back“

“I had heard about this hot restaurant from New York that I must try, but was reticent to do so because Carbone was the name of a character from Goodfellas that Robert Deniro's Jimmy Conway whacked when tying up loose ends after the Lufthansa job! Poor sap was hanging frozen in a meat locker. I'm glad I put that imagery aside because this place was amazing! Platitudes like wonderful ambience, fine service, flavorful food, great family style dining, are all applicable but just don't capture the full spirit of the evening. From the pickled cauliflower, to the signature spicy rigatoni ala vodka (which pairs nicely with their pinot noir offering Presqu'ile), to the Caesar salad (you must have those croutons!), and their delicious Italian petit-fours, everything burst with flavor and was resplendent of the authenticity of old Venice. And since you will be spending more than a few pennies here, one must luxuriate in the mid century environs replete with Murano glass chandeliers while being serenaded with a sound track of Italian crooners like Mel Torme and Frank Sinatra in the full bela canta tradition. If you have a special occasion, Carbones Miami Beach will make for a memorable evening.“

“In love with this place!! I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the excellent quality of the food, its exquisite flavor. The service of the establishment and the hospitality of its staff is invaluable since it harmonizes with the beauty of the place, it is a clean place located in an excellent area that allows you to relax while enjoying a wonderful view on the terrace!“

“The hostess Lexi was the best she made sure me and my guest had a great time I will definitely be back. From the food the music drink and great service im overall happy with my experience“

“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.“
