“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Birdcage Café is a hidden gem in Miami, and it’s all thanks to the incredible duo, Rocio and Rodrigo. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel like family. Their warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care created an atmosphere that was both welcoming and unforgettable.

Rocio has a gift for hospitality—her energy lights up the café and she makes every guest feel special. Rodrigo’s passion shines through in every dish and drink; the flavors are thoughtful, balanced, and absolutely delicious. You can tell they pour their hearts into everything, from the beautiful presentation to the little personal touches that make the experience extraordinary.

What stood out most is how much love and pride they take in what they do. It’s rare to find a place where the food, service, and ambiance all come together so perfectly, but Rocio and Rodrigo have created exactly that. The Birdcage Café isn’t just a café—it’s an experience you’ll want to relive again and again.

If you’re in Miami and want to feel at home while enjoying food and drinks that will truly impress you, this is the spot. Rocio and Rodrigo are simply the best—thank you both for making our visit unforgettable!!!“

“Friendly, comfortable and cozy this is another Blue Collar gem. I came for the happy hour 5-6:30 and had three items and a amber ale draft. Now that that’s done; I’m coming back for the regular menu. Clams casino, oysters on the half shell and seared scallops were absolutely the bomb! Try it!“

“The food is delicious here, I loved it, I highly recommend it, my family and friends were very satisfied with the food, we will surely return.“

“Rolando's awesome, honestly. Super friendly and hooked us up with some great spot recommendations. The only thing was the drinks cost me like $200 for four drinks and some late night snacks, which was kind of crazy. But overall, it was a good vibe since it was my first stop in Miami.“

“Everything about this restaurant was great the food ,the place is clean , the staff was very nice specifically Veronica. she was awesome , cordial and very professional ,I highly recomend this place, I am definitely going back and again ???“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“This little gem was the perfect spot for a nice brunch! The nutella waffle didn't disappoint!“

“Delicious food, a shock to the taste buds“

“Great place to have a diner in Miami Beach. Loved the ambiance, lots of options on the menu for eating. They served fast, the food was good. The have one of the best mojitos I've ever tried. My server Camila Rios was a swetie. Would definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“Went for dinner and the food tasted amazing! We had the pleasure of being served by Nicole and she was great. Definitely recommend!“

“Had breakfast this morning. Food was excellent, cappuccino’s were perfect! Gabriella served us and did everything she could to make it enjoyable for us. So 10/10 rating!“

“It has been quite some time since I've enjoyed a meal in South Florida that was this extraordinary. Giselle Miami absolutely exceeded every expectation, and last night's birthday celebration for my bff Aymee was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. This chef is truly talented, easily one of the best in the region or, at the very least, a rising star with a bright future. The creativity, balance, and boldness in every dish were impressive. We started the evening with the Cappuccino Martinis WOW. Smooth, delicious, and dangerously easy to drink. The perfect beginning to a celebratory evening. For appetizers, we ordered the Mosaic Beet Salad, the Dumplings, and the Tuna Truffle Cones. All three were OUTSTANDING, but each in a different way: Tuna Truffle Cones: A delight for all the senses starting smooth and flavorful, building to an explosion of truffle-infused richness, and ending with a velvety finish. Truly memorable. Dumplings: Tender, beautifully prepared, and paired with a wonderfully balanced Asian-inspired sauce. Comforting yet elevated. Mosaic Beet Salad: My personal favorite. A stunning presentation of vibrant colors and fresh flavors. The delicate goat cheese pearls were the perfect touch, and the thinly sliced beets were a dream to lift with chopsticks. Elegant, refreshing, and impeccably crafted. For our entrée, the Lobster Thermidor, which was nothing short of a SHOWSTOPPER. Decadent, flavorful, and beautifully executed one of those dishes you keep thinking about long after the last bite. A special mention must go to Martin, our waiter. Professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. He listened closely to our preferences and guided us flawlessly. His service elevated the entire evening. And of course the ambience. Pure 5-star Miami style. Chic, sexy, energetic, and perfect for a celebration. We loved every moment. ⭐ Final Verdict: We absolutely loved Giselle's and will definitely be returning! A must for any special occasion“

“We had the absolute best experience here. We stopped in after departing our cruise, and were greeted with good vibes, good food and great drinks. Between Pamela and Camila we were well taken care of, not to mention they have one of the best hookahs I’ve had. I will be back and I’m telling you don’t miss out on this gem!“

“Went on a Monday morning, the employees were all warm and greeted us kindly. Jodi was our server and recommended some great options. She was quick but never rushed us.

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. The food was great, but Jasmin’s service truly made the evening memorable. We’ll definitely be back and hope to have her again! She always knows my order without me having to tell her. Yes, she's that good.“

“amazing food and super good beer. friendly staff , great atmosphere!“

“This place was really awesome!! If you want the Cuban entertainment experience,this is it !! From the time you walk in it's truly a experience. From the host to the servers, dancers and singers it was really nice. The food is really good also.I order the coconut shrimp and my wife got the jerk ribs off the app menu and they were delicious. This place is really worth checking out Make sure you make reservations.“

“Our server was excellent. I don't remember his name. The food didn't live up to our expectations. The oxtails were overcooked, the rice was undercooked and the collards had too much acid. The bread basket, shrimp & grits & catfish were good. It was a little disappointing. But we love Marcus and will continue to support his restaurants.“

“One of the best places to eat in Miami.“

“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.“

“LOVE! Walter is an amazing server and the staff as a whole is super into it. Watching FSU V Miami and couldn’t imagine a better vibe“

“One of our favorite restaurants!“

“Excelente servicio y experiencia !! Michelle fue muy amable y cordial ! Amamos ir a Divieto Aventura ❤️“

“Dined out here in our last night with my DW. Service was phenomenal. Food unfortunately was average. It was not bad, but for the type or class of restaurant, it could've been outstanding. I had a skirt steak, medium, with French fries. A classic Parisian steak frites. Sauce was good but no memorable, steak was good, but also not memorable, however the cooked it correctly. DW had crab cakes and they were average. It's a good restaurant, with an amazing service, but food can be better in order for them to stand above the crowd.“

“The food , service and atmosphere was Great 👍🏽 and also the singing HBD to my husband ❤️Thanks you guys !!“

“Excellent food and service.The quality of the food and ingredients is appreciated. Our waiter Sebastian was the perfect complement to the excellence“
