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.

My wife and I joined my cousin and his wife for dinner. The atmosphere was exceptional. The table side service was very good, Dimitri was our server. The only service issue related to food / wine delivery. We assumed these were kitchen / bar issues and not the server. At the first course only 3 of the 4 plates were served. We waited about 5 minutes before the final dish was delivered. Additionally, the wives had to ask twice about the wine before it was delivered. Beyond these issues, the meals, service, food presentation / description, and atmosphere were top notch. The hiccups were disappointing and not typical of a Michelin restaurant. However, it did not ruin our meal.

I went with my wife for lunch yesterday and we did the 3-course menu. Food and service amazing. We just came back from a trip to France and we did these type of lunch/dinner multi course meals and we felt right back. We will be back.

We had a wonderful lunch taking advantage of the Miami Spice , food very good , service a little bit slow, but good . We will come back
We always aim to eat at the bar. The Barman is knowledgeable and has excellent drink recommendations. The service and food complement that. Great evening out as always.

We had this restaurant on our list for years and finally made it during the Miami Spice month. It was well worth the wait! The ambiance, the decor, the service, the food, it was all an awesome experience! Our waiter & helper, Douglas and Manny were very versed on the menu and didn't miss a beat with our dinner. We recommend "Le Jardinier" to everyone. We will be returning to dine upstairs for the "Experience". Can't wait!

The service was great and prompt. The food was good. I recommend the crudo and salmon. The cocktails were delicious.

First time we visited this place. The relaxing atmosphere but elegant. Service to food, everything was excellent. Our server, Demitrio, was friendly but professional. Loved our dining there. Thank you!
