The food was good, but overpriced. This is not fine dining, but is priced as though it is.

Beautiful restaurant with excellent service. We found the prices extremely expensive for the items ordered. Over $200.00 for 3 people and only 1 glass of wine was not good value.

Waiter vacuuming the front carpet as you enter at 12:30 reservation. That's a NO NO what a shame. Then he comes to serve the menu after leaving the vacuum cleaner at the entrance. We left horrified from that substandard eatery.

The presentation was gorgeous. The food was really good. The service was not as attentive and as frequent as we'd expect.

Dinner at this Michelin 2-star restaurant was extraordinary from start to finish. The kitchen delivered precision and creativity in every course, flavors layered with intention, technique executed flawlessly, and presentation that showed true culinary discipline. The pacing of the meal was smooth and unhurried, allowing each dish to stand on its own.

Excellent restaurant. The food flavors are unique and perfect, also the drinks. The service is great. Definitely will visit again.

We have two complaints : 1) the crab cake did not meet my expectation for a Michelin restaurant, in terms of both taste and presentation. 2) they did not have either of the wine we have selected from the menu.

Another lovely evening there with friends. Great food with lovely ambience and attentive service.

Food was amazing - definitely worth the Michelin star. Service was pretty good as well. Just a little surprised about the design/decor. Doesn't seem to fit the design district or high end Michelin star restaurant - more for an average /mid level restaurant. This wouldn't stop be from going again at all, just surprised me a bit.

Nous sommes allés dans ce restaurant pour célébrer notre voyage de noces. Le restaurant, censé avoir une étoile Michelin, a permis l'entrée de personnes vêtues de manière totalement inappropriée, venues simplement boire au bar, comme dans un bistrot de quartier. De plus, les toilettes étaient extrêmement sales et ils ont mal réagi à notre réclamation. Le guide Michelin devrait vraiment revoir ses évaluations.
Food was good and service was lovely. Prices are crazy high. That's the part we aren't going back for.

Everything about Le Jardinier was absolutely magnificent, from the food to the service and the atmosphere. The place is stunning, the staff is incredibly attentive, and every dish was perfectly executed. My favorite plates were the risotto and the short rib — both were outstanding!

The greeter was uncharming. When your job is to smile at guests when they arrive, I expect you to, well, smile. We were seated indoors and the aesthetic is pleasing. But the music fluctuated between too loud and difficult to hold a conversation and a normal/appropriate volume. The service was “okay” by Miami standards. But for a restaurant that brands itself as more “fine dining” I expect servers who are more confident and sure of themselves - these ones lacked good communication, good instincts, and sometimes got orders confused. The food was also hit or miss. We ate off the Sunday brunch tasting menu. The starters - salad and soup - were very good. But the eggs Benedict was just average and the crab cakes had a spoiled/fishy taste. The desserts - an apple tart and some time of chocolate mousse with icecream - were good but it's hard to get those wrong. Also, we ordered a bottle of Saratoga still water, but it tasted like tap water. Perhaps they are filling the Saratoga bottles with tap water. Or perhaps they are not properly cleaning their water glasses, but the water stank and was unpleasant to drink. I overall left with a really disappointed impression and will likely not return.

Overall,a very nice dining experience. Beef tartar was excellent, Short-rib a bit over cooked but flavorful. Salmon was perfect! Wine list extensive yet a bit pricey. Excellent service in a relaxed atmosphere.

The food is impeccable. Every dish had an ingredient that created something memorable. For example, As someone who doesn't typically like Farro, I was blown away by its creaminess. The confit mushrooms in the masala chicken were decadent. The hanger steak was like char broiled butta. The butterfly dessert was the best surprisingly followed by the chocolate pudding. All in all worth every nickel.
