My new favorite restaurant in Miami. Creative excellent food, friendly professional service, relaxed atmosphere, no fuss.Ordered five dishes: carrot tartare, maitake mushroom, gnocchi, short rib and pizza. All were amazing, and our server, Lauren, was just the best, highly recommended.

I only knock the atmosphere, not for the look but for the volume of music. I am not as young as I wish and not yet qualifying for hearing aids, but do find the ambient sound a bit much. That said. the food is outstanding, and the service great. I cannot get enough of the oysters, the carrot ceviche or the green lasagna. I would pass on the short ribs, but have tried nearly everything and wish I could eat it all!!! It is a fav.

Awesome food, very original and chill atmosphere. Would recommend. The carrot tartar was very original, the beet carpaccio and the short rib were our favorites. But leave space for dessert, the apple pie was amazing!

Service was great, Shawn explained the concept and the dishes well, asked about allergies. The food is tasty but the portions are small. Drinks are super good as well. The menu is quite limited so you don’t have many options to pick from and the price is a bit too high for what they offer

Lord have mercy.... I was sleeping on this place. Don't even think twice. Just come. And get the lasagna and oysters. Every menu item I ordered made me want to cry upon my first bite. Hands down this is the best restaurant in Miami. Absolutely outstanding. Lauren was the best server. She was the sweetest and gave excellent recommendations. I literally cannot believe how good the food was. Flavors unlike anything I've had. Just fantastic. Can't wait to go back.

This restaurant is a very nice looking TRAP, let me explain the reasons in the most objective way possible:-AESTHETICS: The name itself Walrus Rodeo is very cool. Like the wallpaper, the ceiling and the furniture. Yet it is only the beginning of how the owners feed you with a creative concept which will fail to delivery in consistency.- COCKTAILS: I found it very inspiring to make cocktails based on the fact that they don't have a license for spirits, using only wines and vermouths. The cocktails were good, yet missing the buzz factor so you feel the need to order more, which I didn’t.-MENU: Usually we order pretty fast, but somehow the very well graphically designed menu and the intricate dish names made me wonder what to pick. We ordered after 20 mins of dwelling over the dish descriptions. Even more shocking when we saw the pizza section going till $199.-SERVICE: The waiter was very kind, although the more she continued to describe the plates, the more we became confused.Since we didn’t know what to get we asked to order 2 dishes and then to add something later based on how we felt. She declined the possibility saying "You HAVE to order all at once." Not a comforting feeling I’d say.-We chose these 3 dishes:-TURNIP SALAD: very nice dressing but very overwhelming. Fresh at the beginning, but I would have preferred to have it next to the other dishes, again not possible since it arrived first by itself.-LAMB LASAGNA: pleasant and since we were hungry we devoured it, but it was incredibly salty and super tiny. It only had 2 thin layers and the spinach pesto on top, although nice was overtaking the flavor of the lamb. The Parmesan cheese on top (only one side, weird) was more salt on top of an already salty dish.-RODEO ZA PIZZA: weirdest selection of flavors EVER.Between the Chicken Sausage (cheaper alternative for pork sausage), and the anchovies with breadcrumbs and uber expensive caviar (from $85 to $199), we chose the Rodeo Za.
 The first bite was interesting, between salty and sweet coming from the maple glazed crust, but after second slice I was done.-DESSERT: We skipped dessert since we felt the american pie made of churros and liquid chocolate would have been another strange experience like the pizza.BILL: the cherry on top-Vero Water..a fancy tap water name: $1-Healthcare Service charges: 2%..with the addendum at the bottom basically making you feel bad for refusing to paying for it.*Beware, you can ask your waiter to remove it and tell them straight to their face that you don’t want to contribute to their health coverage. I mean what type of person does that to their employees?Get a grip Owners.Don’t contribute to turning Miami into a gimmicky take on hipster Brooklyn without the actual food expertise of NY.
