Best oysters in Miami. Crab cakes are the best thing you will ever taste. Love this place.

Excellent quality and presentation. The roasted oysters are craveable (if that's a word). The service was spot on. Cornbread was delicious. Octopus was perfectly cooked and grilled. And the wine! I can't wait to go back.

The food was perfect. The employees were welcoming and attentive to us. I'd definitely visit again on another trip to Miami.

The oysters are excellent and we tried the steak tartare it was better than I have ever had anywhere else. I always get the mussels in white sauce. It's a must! Somehow they knew it was my birthday and they gave us a bread pudding which was also amazing.

Why don't I come here more often?! I really love Mignonette. It has always good food. Amazing oysters. Great fish. and superb service. It is a local joint that you can tell loves what they do. I highly recommend Mignonette.

We gave a second chance to this restaurant which is always suggested by infatuation. We booked specifying it was an anniversary dinner and we asked to sit at the bar. Food was great , service awful. We arrived at 9 pm and at 9,30 they started cleaning the kitchen in front of us using detergent spray and emptying the trash cans. Nobody cared about us or offering to move to a table to avoid this awful show and smell while we were having expensive raw fish and seafood dinner. Then I used the bathroom and again there was a leak of water on the floor. Not to mention the windows, always dirty. Sorry Mignonette but for me this was a second horrible experience , your oysters are good but the service is zero points. Never again.

I’m not sure how on earth this place got any Michelin recognition - my meal here was the most disgusting I’ve ever had in my life. Publix buffet food would have been better. I urge Michelin Guide to re-evaluate this place. I also urge Miami Spice organizers to exclude them from next year’s restaurant roster because what they provided was absolutely false advertising and a complete rip off.
Let’s start with the fact that they falsely advertise on the Miami Spice website that you can choose ANY appetizer or entree from their menu, no exceptions. FALSE! It was only when we sat down that the waiter informed us that any steak or seafood towers were not included and that there would be a $20 upcharge on other items, essentially eliminating half their menu. Now, if like me, you drove half an hour thinking you were going to order steak or something else fancy, you’d be sadly disappointed.
First, let’s talk about how it took the waiter 20 minutes to take our order while I was starving, and one full HOUR before any food would arrive at our table. I ended up ordering the scallops for an appetizer and it wasn’t scallops plural, but one tiny smooshed undercooked slimy scallop. See pics. I saw our neighbors order the same thing and they got two scallops because they weren’t doing Miami Spice. So they were definitely penalizing and jipping you for actually doing the Miami Spice menu. Hey Mignonette, if you are too cheap to participate in Miami Spice, then don’t do it at all.
Then as my entree, I ordered the Grouper w potatoes and Brussels sprouts. I’ve had lovely grouper before (light and flaky) and this was not grouper. If it was, it was the most cardboard-like, tastless, frozen and reheated piece of garbage I’ve ever tasted. I could barely choke it down as hungry as I was.
I didn’t think anyone could mess up fingerling potatoes, but Mignonette managed to - the potatoes were undercooked, rock hard and yet also at the same time drenched in cooking oil which tasted like lighter fluid. The Brussels sprouts were equally heinous! Rock hard, uncooked, yet also soggy in cooking oil that hadn’t been changed out for a week. Not sure how they managed to burn the outside of both the potatoes and sprouts to a crisp, but have it raw on the inside. My mom’s snapper was slightly better and I wish I had ordered that instead.
The final slap in the face came with dessert. A carrot cake, the saddest, tiniest sliver of frozen store bought carrot cake I’ve ever been served, lacking any taste, not containing any walnuts. Another piece of cardboard masquerading as dessert. Actually, I should say that I’ve had grocery store carrot cake 10x better.
Zero ambiance. Looked like an abandoned storefront from the outside with a shady and unsafe gravel parking lot in back. No proper signage outside, I couldn’t even find the restaurant door. Both dining halls were headache-inducingly loud. The floors were so sticky your shoes would stick. Bathroom was something out of a horror movie - absolutely disgusting, I kid you not. I wish I had taken a picture of the toilet seat, which was discolored yellow and pink from 30 years of stains. A new toilet seat costs $17!
The managers/owners of this place should be ashamed of themselves. In a city like Miami, in a neighborhood like Wynwood/Edgewater with so many great restaurants, how can they serve this atrocious food in a filthy establishment and have a Michelin mention?!? It’s mind boggling and they must have paid for the fake reviews. I left hungry, angry, and disappointed. Take it from this Yelp Elite, save your time and money and take a hard pass on this place. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

You can immediately tell that this is a chef-driven restaurant the moment you walk in — it becomes clear right away. Both the cozy atmosphere and the way they present their seafood dishes are truly impressive. Although I wasn’t a big fan of the Lobster Linguini, the Charred Octopus is an absolute must-try. It was one of the most tender octopus dishes I’ve ever had in my life.
It’s definitely a great hidden spot for a date, though I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. If you don’t get a table in the main dining area, the seating in the back section isn’t quite as enjoyable.
Family dinner for birthday celebration. Service, food, ambience excellent. The only feedback provided to Freddy, our server, upon departure was that food was a bit salty.

Amazing seafood meal with excellent service. The crab bisque was meaty with a little spicy kick, and the FL Grouper was delicious. The ambiance is nice - smart casual. Save room for the bread pudding... it may be the best thing on the menu!

Excellent dishes - except smaller portion size and average quality of mussels. bread pudding was excellent.
