“Excelente sitio aquí celebramos mi cumpleaños y quede encantada , rica comida , servicio de primera . Lo recomiendo 100 %“

“We’ve visited the Guest a number of times, as a couple, with our family and always had a great dinner. Food choices are nicely varied, without being overwhelming. Tastes consistently great and servers are friendly and quick without being intrusive. Definitely worth checking out and enjoy the fun outdoor seating.“

“This restaurant is known for its fresh seafood and Mediterranean flavors. All of their fish and shellfish are caught the same day and are absolutely fresh. Their grilled octopus, seafood platters, and Greek-style fish stews are especially recommended, each of which will be unforgettable!“

“חוויה פשוט מושלמת ובלתי נשכחת! מרגע שנכנסנו הרגשנו בבית. מומי, בעל המקום, אדם מקסים עם לב ענק, קיבל אותנו בחום ואהבה שמורגשים בכל פרט. האוכל היה פשוט מצוין – טעמים מדהימים, איכות גבוהה, והכול נעשה עם הרבה אהבה ותשוקה. המלצרית שלנו, שלי, הייתה לא רק יפה אלא גם מתוקה, קשובה ודאגה שנרגיש הכי בנוח שיש – ממש כמו בבית. השירות שלה היה אישי, חם ומלא תשומת לב. האווירה נהדרת, האוכל נפלא, והיחס יוצא מן הכלל. לא רק מסעדה – תחושה אמיתית של משפחה. מומלץ בחום גדול! אין ספק שנחזור שוב.“

“Awful. Rude staff, poor service, overpriced and pretty sure they discriminate racially. Nice views and design does not make up for it.“

“Absolutely loved our experience at Jass Kitchen! Wine, food, decor, coffee and music were all amazing. Hope to visit again when we’re in the area!“

“Great service! Clemente was great!“

“I like this place a lot. The food is served impeccably. Large menu of authentic Turkish food. Reasonable prices and the most important very nice owners (Tuba’s brother). The tea they serve is black tea from Sri Lanka (it has some bergamot hint ). Its a true killer. I highly recommend them.“

“WOW!!!

This place is an absolute gem.

We shared several dishes and every single one was better than the last. The cigars, arayes, challah schnitzel sandwich, shawarma on laffa, and the knafeh were all phenomenal.

As Israelis, we know Mediterranean food, and this was simply outstanding. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and made with care.

The entire experience was amazing from start to finish.

I also want to give a special shout-out to Ryan, our server. Ryan was absolutely incredible. You can genuinely tell that he loves what he does and takes pride in where he works. Every recommendation he gave us was a perfect choice. He checked on us throughout the meal, always made sure our drinks were full, kept us smiling and laughing, and treated us with exceptional kindness and professionalism.

Ryan was a huge part of what made this experience so memorable. Employees like him are hard to find, and he deserves recognition for the outstanding job he does. He represents your restaurant in the best possible way.

Thank you for such a memorable evening. We will definitely be back and will be recommending Motek to everyone we know.

“Branja is a solid option!
There is not much around the area, branja and another restaurant near it.

Venue is very pretty with a great glass ceiling, there are a few small businesses around.

If you book via the reservation app, restaurant is what gives you space under the nice glass roof.

Restaurant is part of Miami spice.

The short rib is a great dish and special mention to the schnitzel that was amazing: crispy and juicy!“

Highly recommended to all for having a great experience“

“Stopped in for a late lunch on a saturday. Plenty of tables available, great atmosphere, nice background music that allowed you to have a conversation. We ordered the Mediterranean salad and the pistachio encrusted salmon and shared both. They were both excellent. We did not try the cocktails. We would definitely go back and recommend it.“

“My girlfriend and I recently celebrated our anniversary at Lira, and the experience was truly exceptional from beginning to end.

What stood out the most was how warmly we were treated. The entire staff made us feel less like customers and more like family. The owner personally came to our table, introduced himself, and took the time to make sure everything was perfect. That personal touch made our evening even more special.

As a wonderful surprise, they generously provided complimentary champagne to help us celebrate our anniversary. It’s rare to find a restaurant that goes above and beyond in such a genuine and thoughtful way.

The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was attentive and professional, and every detail reflected a commitment to hospitality and guest satisfaction. Experiences like this are what turn a dinner into a memorable occasion.

Thank you to the entire team at Lira for making our anniversary so special. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for outstanding food, exceptional service, and a truly welcoming environment.“

“Tucked into the Oceanside of our favorite Boutique Hotel in NOBE, this place will WOW you with their food, atmosphere and view. The staff is phenomenal, service is excellent. We’ve had most everything on the menu over the years, most recently the Ahi Tartar, Greek Salad, Grape Arugula Salad, Kalypso Burger and pizzas (Margarita and Mushroom), Lamb Shank and Short Rib, everything was perfectly prepared and presented. It’s accessible from the beach walk or Collin’s Ave. you will not be disappointed with a visit to this fine establishment. Achilles and his staff including Kenny and Niko will treat you like family.“

“Dad loves the schawarma. Different textures with a little heat. Definitely recommend.“

“I just had what is probably the best burger Miami has to offer.

The bun was incredible, the meat was cooked to perfection, the caramelized onions had the perfect smoky flavor, and somehow the burger stayed together from the first bite to the last.

And the sauce? Out of this world.

They won Miami’s Best Burger, and honestly… end of story.“

“Very fun restaurant with beautiful Turkish Tiffany lamps as decor. On weekends they have a very lovely singer who sings in 7-10 different languages to your requests! Service is wonderful. All the waitresses are pretty and sweet Abandon parking and easy cozy atmosphere! You can’t go wrong!“

“This was our first dinner this time in Miami and I fell in love. The waitress was so great, and the decor was next level cute. It made me want to stay in the hotel next time to be closer to this restaurant.

Then the food came and it was so delicious! Every dish we got… the Carpaccio was so mouth watering melt in your mouth! Then the mushroom risotto was incredible as were all other dishes we had.

I will absolutely be coming back here every time I come to Miami. The bill definitely added up fast, but it was worth it!“

I shared the Turkish platter with which consisted of fresh vegetables, cucumbers, celery, broccoli, carrots, with Romain, lettuce and baba ghanoush, a tomato, cilantro, cucumbers, onions, vinaigrette, and and I had grilled Seabass with steak fries and truffle butter.

It’s a lovely place to have a meal. Thank you so much.“

“Anthony was absolutely amazing! From the moment my mom and I walked in, he made us feel so welcomed. We came in not really knowing what to expect, and Anthony was incredibly friendly, honest, and helpful with his recommendations. You can tell he genuinely cares about giving great service.

On top of that, the food was amazing. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations. We love those zucchini, fries as an appetizer, and the bread and oil mixture was a great addition. Anthony truly made our experience even better. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

Everything is fresh and delicious, and the options feel indulgent without being overwhelming. I honestly can’t wait to go back again!“

A special thank you to Luis, who took excellent care of us throughout the night. He was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly charismatic, making us feel welcome from start to finish.

The location, the food, the drinks, and the service were all exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant, and if you have the chance, ask for Luis—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Just recently moved to the Wynwood neighborhood, and we were looking for vegan food. A quick Google Maps search for “vegan food” gave us a few options but not many offered us burgers AND falafels in one stop.

(One of us wanted falafel & the other one of us wanted burgers)

We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival to find over 10 vegan items to choose from :))

Chef Alexia herself walked us through the menu, and we received the food made fresh right by her.. she even walked it out to us, which I will say is rare nowadays.

While we don’t normally fuss about it, it was comforting to hear that the fryer is used for vegan foods only, and that there is a separate grill space for vegan foods as well! :)))

Zucchini falafel was delightful, her homemade tzatziki was fresh & perfect with the crispy falafels & warm pita.

We also had the double smash burgers with bacon and they did not disappoint! You do have the option to pair with fries which we did. They were crispy, warm & seasoned with a rosemary seasoning that was delicious.

We will be back, and we do recommend to those looking for honest food made by someone who isn’t vegan but cares about vegans & vegan food!
