“If you're a One Piece fan, 100% come and enjoy this food. I really thought it was going to be overpriced, mediocre food with One Piece all over the place, but I was wrong. The food is amazing and actually really affordable. I definitely recommend 2 dishes, the Sizzilin Pork and the Navigator Steak. Both are amazing and I could eat them all day!“

“We went to Vinya Coral Gables with a group of classmates and had a great time. The restaurant is perfect for sharing dishes and enjoying well-crafted cocktails. They’re also known for their impressive wine selection.

The standout dishes for me were the bacon-wrapped dates and the black ink risotto—both were packed with flavor and definitely worth trying. Overall, it’s a solid spot for good food and drinks in a relaxed setting.“

“Had a wonderful night tonight! Loved the fact that Heather, the General Manager came over to speak to us. We watched her walk all around with a smile and stop and talk to every table. You know she is happy with her job by her great smile! We will be back“

“Tiffany great service“

“A week ago, I left a one-star review after a disappointing experience at Earls. We were surprised with a significantly higher bill due to a price adjustment that wasn’t clearly communicated when an upgrade was suggested. It felt like a break in the trust we had built over years of being regular guests.

I’m updating this review because someone from Earls’ leadership team Josie reached out to us with genuine care,professionalism, and accountability. They acknowledged the situation, took it seriously, and offered a thoughtful gesture to make things right.
But more than that, they opened a real conversation about how to improve communication moving forward and that means a lot.

I also want to highlight that our server that day was truly excellent warm, respectful, and attentive throughout. The miscommunication wasn’t about attitude or effort, and I sincerely hope it’s seen as a learning opportunity, not a personal fault. It’s clear they have a bright future in hospitality.

Mistakes happen what defines a place is how they respond. In this case, Earls responded with integrity, and that deserves recognition. We’re looking forward to visiting again and experiencing the care that made us loyal guests in the first place.“

“Had a great experience. Croissants were amazing and after we finished, our waitress came up to us and gave us 5 different pastries to take home for free!!!! Thank you.“

“I absolutely love Vale because they have the best gluten-free options in town. Their açai is absolutely delicious and not to mention that the staff is super friendly. It’s also very conveniently located in the plaza where I get my groceries done. What’s not to love!“

“Intimate and designed around the bar, the gathering water hole, where the staff are friendly and fun. Look out for Cricket.“

“We arrived as walking and were told by host that they were full and all empty tables were reserved. Got in my phone and made a reservation on the spot. The host still made us wait 20 mins to clean the only dirty table because the clean tables were just not to her liking. Waitress was forgetful and took the order of the tables that got there after us, first. To sum it up, we will not be returning.“

“We came here for dinner tonight and I got the pulled pork pizza it was amazing it was also fun to watch them make the pizzas“

“My best Sport grill , good food, excellent attention“

“It's one of our favorite restaurants in town. We've been regulars for many years and have been loyal through many changes because the food is always outstanding and ambiance and view is always so calming and reliable. We love Mariposa!“

“This was my first visit and the food was very good. We had reservations so there wasn’t a wait. I had the chicken and waffles and the portion was so much that I couldn’t eat it all. Would definitely eat there again.“

“Since my birthday lands during Miami Spice (August and September), I look forward to celebrating at Two Chefs every year. Their tuna tartare appetizer w house potato chips is out of this world, as are the soufflés - ask for a side of chocolate sauce, for some reason they no longer include it unless you ask. The salmon, branzino and chicken entrees are tasty. They had a great pork entree that they took out of the menu, hope they bring it back. When Chef Jan is present, food is consistently some of the best in Miami.“

“Great service and excellent food!“

“Great food, hospitality, and ambience at Kitchen 57 last night, which happened to be New Year’s Eve. My roast chicken was fantastic, tender and full of flavor, with a medley of roasted vegetables. Hard to do something so simple this well. Husband said his Cioppino (seafood stew) was the best restaurant meal he has had in a long while. Bowl was wiped clean with bread that came alongside. What a welcome addition to fine dining options in South Miami that won’t break the bank.“

“Man, what a find! I was driving around after a brutal early morning of Amazon deliveries (you know how it is!), and I was seriously craving some good grits. I actually Googled "grits near me," which is how I stumbled upon this place. I'd seen a review that mentioned "classic diner vibes," and that totally sold me. Walking in, it was like stepping into a different world although it's a bit dated, everyone was so friendly – not just the staff, but the other customers too! I got a bunch of "good mornings" from complete strangers, which was honestly so refreshing. It felt like a real community, a family kind of atmosphere. My server was a total sweetheart. She knew the menu like the back of her hand and was super helpful in guiding me to the perfect breakfast. I ordered the Chuckwagon with eggs over medium, pan sausage, home fries and a side of cheese grits. My server even pointed out a way I could save a few bucks, which I really appreciated. It's awesome when servers are that considerate. The food came out fast and was exactly what I was hoping for – hot, fresh, and cooked perfectly. I got over-medium eggs and grits, and when I poured the grits over my eggs, my server gave me a knowing look and said, "Now that's how you do it – the classic Southern way!" That just made my day. It brought back all these memories of having breakfast with my grandparents – those classic diner breakfasts that just feel like home. It was a real nostalgia trip. Seriously, the whole experience was just what I needed – good food, good people, and a great atmosphere. It just felt… good. I did notice the prices were a little higher than what I saw in some older menu pics online, but honestly, with everything going on these days, it's not surprising. Even with the slightly higher prices, I absolutely loved this place. I'm definitely going back soon. It's the perfect spot for a comforting, classic breakfast that just hits the spot.“

“Muy buena comida y sobre todo una atención exelente �“

“I performed a wedding ceremony on October 3rd. the place is beautiful and the restaurant did an incredible job with the setting for the wedding.“

“Great food, great staff, friendly atmosphere, thank you all for making our stay in Homestead so memorable. We were made so welcome by all we didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend for a great evening, any day of the week 😃“

“Another great visit! Beautiful hotel and nice accommodations!“

“This franchise is why chain restaurants succeed. We visited the first time due to a broad menu and Diet Dr Pepper. We were so pleased that we visited the very next evening. The service was stellar, the food was quite good, and the prices were reasonable.“

“Vacationing with some friends and had just flown in staying in the area. Went out looking for a nice place to get some good food and drinks when found this gem! Amazing atmosphere with wonderful friendly staff! 100% recommend!“

“Nice old school pub that's been there under different names since the 70s. Connected to the deli next door, you can order from the deli and bring it to the pub“

“This was our first time coming back here in twenty-six years. It has changed a lot, obviously, since then. Best moment, watching the baby Tiger feeding.

We prepaid for the park and the food option. I had the chicken Caesar salad wrap, and my wife had the hamburger. She said the hamburger tasted like a hamburger should taste.“

“Servers all said they knew nothing about the Thursday 1/2 rack of ribs special that they said it isn't offered anymore. Well flipping through the adds attached to the table flip add list, we showed it and she said she would have to speak to her manager. She returned saying they can honor it. People don't all know to flip through that and just get handed a regular menu with no extra attachment or notification. Open to all customers!!“

“I ordered the Signature Bowl that came with a buy 1 get 1 option. I realized after ordering that because both of them came with chicken that my vegetarian guest wouldn’t be able to it. I called Bolay Brickell and Diana went above and beyond to assist me with the order to ensure my vegetarian guest could have dinner. She was so sweet and kind, it was genuinely the best service/hospitality exchange I’ve had on the phone with absolutely no issues and she was genuinely happy to accommodate. Thank you for making our day!“

“💯 😌 👍🏻 good , 🍟🍔🍔🍟🧆🍔🍔🧆🧆🍔🍔🧆“

“The staff at this location coupled with their managers specifically Natalie never let me down. I'm there almost on a daily basis and I am always in a rush. Time and again they execute fast efficient service with a smile. Any issues I've had have been resolved immediately! A million thanks!“

“Local agradable , con una comida variada , deliciosa“

“The reason I gave 4 ⭐ is because, it's so popular for lunch.
I haven't been there in years, but took a coworker.
We just happened to be in the area.
I had the pulled pork sandwich, and it was awesome.
Can't wait until I'm back down there.“

“Truly had a wonderful experience. The staff & manager (Giancarlo & Alejandro) knocked it out of the park with us. Beyond attentive & courteous to take of our party. Definitely recommend.“

“My two older granddaughters and I ate at this restaurant today after walking through the zoo. Totally surprised at this amazing food being served at a Zoo! Wish we had a place this in the West! We each got something different and shared. Salads, sandwiches and Pizza all yummy and fresh!“
