We had a pleasant evening and lovely quick dinner at Met Cafe & Bar - what took us most by surprise was the top notch service thanks to Diedier or “D” ! Thank you for the 5 star attention and service!
We had the shrimp and grits as well as the chicken sandwich, both were generously portioned and perfectly restaurant grade! The gluten free desert was super light, not too sweet and delicious (chocolate Lava cake and ice cream) This place exceeded our expectations...read full review

Better than I expected. Most of the experience was great. Will probably return.
If you want a nice, tranquil space to have some good good, I would recommend. Came here after a concert at the James Knight Center and it was at a walkable distance, super clean and accessible. Service was friendly!

Met Cafe and Bar, located within the JW Marriott Marquis in Miami, offers a convenient dining option for hotel guests using the $42 daily service fee credit. However, the reviews suggest an inconsistent experience across multiple visits.
During an afternoon visit, the restaurant was empty, and the service was slow and inattentive. The mocktail mojito, priced the same as cocktails at $12, was described as too sour and overly lime-forward.
The breakfast experience was more positive, with a well-presented Smoked Salmon Benedict, though the hollandaise sauce was broken. The empanadas, with a dry crust but flavorful filling, were also enjoyed.
The lunch menu included an executive meal deal, with the Sancocho (Puerto Rican Beef Stew) as a tasty first course. However, the Salmon Pappardelle lacked seasoning, and the Churrasco Steak Frites, while well-cooked, had a watered-down lemonade accompaniment.
The ambiance features a bar and numerous TVs, making it a suitable spot for sports viewing. The service was inconsistent, with slow and inattentive service during the first visit but improved during breakfast and lunch.
Overall, while there were some highlights, the reviews suggest that the Met Cafe and Bar may not justify a special visit unless you're already staying at the hotel and utilizing the food and beverage credit.
