“Outstanding experience. The servers were super friendly and always very attentive. And the manager was awesome she took pictures of me and my wife. I was recommended this restaurant by a friend and I most definitely can do the same. I will come back!“

“Everything about this place was absolutely wonderful. Adriana was amazing, she made great food recommendations. The vibe, energy, & food made this entire experience amazing. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a good Cuban spots in Miami area.“

Also the bartenders were very friendly, especially Adrian who was very gentle and kind! Camilo is a character and sets up the party! Spectacular music, with the Latintime band! That group sings spectacularly and of all genres with original arrangements! Excellent experience in Salao!!“

“Miami's Finest I had not dined at Fiola since April '23, when I gave the restaurant a stellar review, describing it as at the top of the podium among Coral Gables' many fine Italian restaurants. Last night's dinner actually surpassed the splendid meal we had a year ago. It was simply the best meal I have had anywhere this year and was easily competitive with two Michelin starred restaurants I visited in Madrid this past November. Every dish was superlative -- the ingredients and the execution were extraordinary. I had the hamachi crudo, the wagyu tenderloin "saltimbocca" with jamon Iberico and an heirloom tomato salad. I also sampled (liberally) the superb veal milanese, the otherworldly fusilloni with pesto sauce and the truffled corn. My three dinner companions were equally ecstatic. The service was excellent, very attentive and mostly unintrusive. As is usual here, there is lots to choose from on the wine list -- but unlike most restaurants that are in this league, there are excellent choices at a wide variety of price points. We had an excellent Rioja Reserva at a very modest price. I've had three very fine meals at LPM in the past couple of months; the food at Fiola last night was as good or even better, the overall experience is much more relaxed and luxurious and the wine program is much more accommodating if one hasn't recently inherited a fortune, or simply balks at paying absurd markups of already expensive wine selections. At this point, Fiola is hardly a secret, but I am delighted to see that it is not resting on its laurels or taking its customers' loyalty for granted. If I had to recommend one place to dine in the Miami area, this would be it.“

“We had a fantastic experience here. The food from start to finish was spectacular in taste and presentation. They are happy to accommodate vegetarians, but they will not be able to help you vegans out. This restaurant deserves its Michelin star without a doubt. I find the negative reviews about food poisoning hard to believe when you account for the rigorous demands of maintaining a Michelin rating. However, anything can happen.The drinks were also amazing! Get the refreshing cocktail with mezcal. It is essentially a more fresh version of a caipirinha with a hint of mezcal smokiness.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian meal is not on the menu, but they will tell you all about it if you ask.“

“What a wonderful experience! It is truly a "hidden gem" that is ideal for foodies. The location is small and intimate, but the tables are far enough apart that you don't feel like you're eavesdropping on your neighbors. The menu choices are creative and made with fresh ingredients. We enjoyed the bing bread, bao, wonton in brodo, steak and a gnocchi type dish (I don't recall the name). They told us their menu changes frequently, so we can go more often and try new things. Their wine recommendation was excellent as well. We will definitely be back!Parking: We had an early reservation so it was easy to find street parking. There is a garage nearby, but I didn't notice the cost.“

“MintyZ is an all vegan dim sum and Asian restaurant. I had their Forest Omakase which is an 8 course tasting menu. You won't leave hungry. The tasty menu began with kimchi which was spicy and crunchy cauliflower. Loved the cantaloupe Tartare with Rice Crackers. If I knew I was gonna to die tomorrow, I would have the cantaloupe Tartare asy last meal. It's sublime. The other tastes included the Cuban corn wontons, prosperity Gyoza and massaman curry noodles. I literally am so full and so happy ?“

“fantastic atmosphere, even better beer - we stopped in on the night they were having a super smash bros tournament but couldn’t stay to compete): Alexandra was great and hooked us up with a monitor to play super smash bros for a little while before we had to head out!! despite living 1300+ miles away, I know we’ll be back?“

“Food and service is impeccable. The food was delicious. We ordered a variety of stuff and loved it all. Cheese and chips were wonderful. Guacamole is fresh and so good. This blend and fusion is flavors is a must have. The whole restaurant is so particularly decorated and you feel the love in the place. I'm coming back!“

“Boca Bites impresses with its culinary offerings and the quality of its drinks, making it a strong contender in the local dining scene. The food was delicious, and the drinks were exceptional, highlighting the establishment's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Moreover, the manager's caring and delightful demeanor added a personal touch to the dining experience, enhancing the overall ambiance.However, the experience was marred by a small service hiccup. After the manager stepped away for a meeting, a new waiter prematurely presented the check, even though it hadn't been requested. This occurred during happy hour, which added to the discomfort, as the gesture felt abrupt and somewhat discourteous. This incident, albeit minor, detracted from what could have been a flawless visit.In conclusion, Boca Bites offers a fantastic dining experience with its excellent food and drink, underscored by a generally stellar level of service. A bit more attention to consistent customer service could help in avoiding similar issues in the future, ensuring that all patrons leave feeling fully satisfied. Despite the hiccup, Boca Bites is definitely worth a visit for those seeking quality dining in a welcoming atmosphere.“

“I went on the weekend because it was recommended to me to try the Nutela pizza, I really liked it, it's very tasty, a delicious dessert.Felipe's attention was excellent, very friendly and always smiling, super attentive and attentive to the table.“

“Hybrid House is the perfect spot for anyone who wants to have a good time without leaving Kendall. This West Kendall spot has a great vibe. It's close to my job and home, which makes it a convenient spot to unwind after a long day.The atmosphere at Hybrid House is electric. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the drinks are top-notch. The bar has a wide selection of craft beers. Oh yeah, and coffee too!Overall, I highly recommend Hybrid House to anyone looking for a fun night out in Kendall. It's the perfect spot to grab a drink and enjoy appetizers.“

“Dom’s has quickly become one of my favorite cocktail bars in Brickell. There are so many different bars in this area and I find myself coming back for the amazing drinks by Frankie and the lovely ambiance. Can’t wait to bring more friends here for HH soon!“

“This place it is fairly new and maybe will survive their first year in business. The place is beautiful. We got a reservation for a Saturday night for out big group a few hours prior, thats why i said that i hope this business survive. Now they should be take care of their customers a little better specially the bartender. My friends got there early and they got charged $250 for two doubles of Macallan 15 years . My dear Owner the whole bottle cost $170!!!!! In the liquor store!! At least have the courtesy to let your customer knows! There is nothing that i hate the most see a list of drinks with no prices!! The food is good but not great and the portions are definitely small foe the prices!!! Our server was great he was always was on top of what we want. He honestly earn his tip!! But even our server knew!!! 22% tip is going to be included in the bill!! When we were paying he make sure that we knew that!! Afloja!!!!!“

“I had the pleasure of visiting John Martin's Pub and Restaurant in the city of Coral Gables on St. Patrick's Day. It was an incredible experience. From the moment we walked in, the lively ambiance, complete with a DJ and awesome music, set the perfect tone for the afternoon. The restaurant was bustling with people, and there was a festival happening outside in the street, with John Martin's as one of the main sponsors.Despite the crowd, we were seated promptly and handed the menus. Our appetizers, chicken with sesame seeds and the irish nachos were simply delicious. For our main course , we opted for the Fish and Chips accompanied by fries. Our waitress was exceptional, ensuring that we were well taken car of throughout the afternoon, despite the busy atmosphere.I appreciated the option of both indoor and outdoor seating, providing flexibility for my guests. Additionally, the availability of valet parking or street parking was convenient.I am planning to return and bring my friends and family, it's a fantastic place where you can truly feel like family.Highly recommend!Parking: Valet was $12.00 for the first 4 hours.“

“This place has pretty good Peruvian food. Their Lomo Saltado and Ceviche Diagnostico Reservado were the highlight of what we ordered. Also tried their Pescado a lo Macho, very tasty with the yellow pepper sauce that I can'tremember the name for. We also ordered the Tacutacu con Lomo (best thing about it is the rice). I had the Parihuela and it was the least exciting meal on our table, I love seafood, and this particular dish did taste good, but it doesn't come with any sides or vegetables is just pure seafood. So I wouldn't order it again. But, that's presonal preference. All in all, the food was good, the portions are huge, great value (just make sure to order from the menu)! And it's a nice place to eat with the family.“

“I love this cigar lounge located in the heart of Coral Gables it is located just across the street from Graziano's Market. The venue is super clean + the servers are friendly! The humidor is good sized and the servers + cigar sellers are knowledgeable + helpful. I love the atmosphere - it just radiates with good vibes. You have the option of smoking indoors or outdoors. I will say, I do not know how they do it but the venue does not smell like smoke even though people are smoking inside. The venue is ample yet cozy. They sometimes have a live musician or DJ. They also have good choices of drinks.“

“One of the best food trucks around.I got the chicken. It was great.I recommend them. Next to the gas station.12.16.23:I read some of the negative reviews about size being too small on sides. I understand. Cuban people eat a lot. So, I will listen and make them bigger. Problem solved.“

“Fantastic service finest cigar lounge I've visited recently Everyone there was excellent, and I will definitely return when I'm in the neighborhood. Ernesto "kike" was especially helpful in selecting cigars and providing excellent service.“

“First-time visiting Saturday night. We had a great time! Our bartenders were Diego and Chris and they were amazing. We laughed and stayed until they closed. We had such a great time and will visit again! Highly recommend if you are in the area and want to grab a drink or some food! Diego made me one of the best cocktails I've ever had. Ask for him“

“Really great spot. We went on Friday night for some live music and enjoyed some delicious drinks and food. We also had some great conversations with other guests at the bar and met some beautiful women. It was a very nice experience.Vegetarian options: The veggie wrap with sweet potato fries was quite filling and very tasty.“

“Came by Lincoln's Beard for a local non profit's event and had a great time. The outdoor area was perfect with a nice breeze and plenty of fans. The event was sponsored by a local seafood mom and pop called Champy's seafood which provided a tub of delicious fish dip which went perfectly with the Holy Smokes draft. Great beer and a great start to the weekend!“

“Great new addition to the Coral Way Corridor. Central to Little Havana/Coral Gables/Coconut Grove/Brickell.Parking is easy - metered parking on/off coral way. Restaurant is first come first served, and I've often arrived prior to the rush (Happy Hour) on Thursday/Friday's. Food is eclectic, but excellent. A little sad that the Schnitzel and Ramen were discontinued during the last menu update, but it's all progress.Drinks are great, and complimented with great service from the staff.“

“Second time going and let me tell you.. I didn't think they could have gotten any better than the first time but boy was I wrong. This experience completely blew me away. From Eddy the server to the food, to the ambiance inside (last time I ate outside) it was all amazing.“

“Amazing cigar and whiskey lounge in Brickell. Huge selection of cigars and everything from soda to mixed drinks to a giant wall of whiskey/scotch/bourbon. Very knowledgeable for both the cigars and liquor. Great ventilation for even non smokers to go enjoy. Got an opus x dominican cigar and from recommendation got the dalmore wood reserve single malt. Both fantastic!“

“I LOVE Miami's Best Pizza. Been eating it since the late 1970s. I don't think it tastes quite the same as when they were in their original location. The crust has gotten thinner (I prefer it thicker, chewier like it was), and the pizzas have gotten smaller :/ #thankspandemicinflation. The taste is still amazing but . . . the consistency is also off. Sometimes it's just too dark, burnt spots on the bottom. IDK I think if you go too early, the ovens are still too hot? #speculation ANYHOW. I LOVE it. It tastes amazing regardless. The Staff is friendly and it feels like the old place with the arch and the window and the color scheme. If it didn't make me fat, I'd eat it all the time. Mmmmmm pepperoni pizza grease! The garlic pizza cut in squares is the bomb!Parking: Drive past and pull in on the right for free parking (spaces are marked ("Miami's Best Parking Space")“

“DocB's is always a reliable spot for good food and quick service. We dine there often and last night took a friend from out of town. As always, promptly seated and served. All the dishes were spot on with the exception of the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. The chicken itself was about a quarter inch thick, and DRY since it was so thin. This should be a juicy chunk of chicken, but this was a complete miss. the chimichurri steak was cooked to perfect temp, and the pepperoni pizza was also great.“

“Apps and Pizza were really, really good. Servers were friendly and the overall feel of the restaurant was cool. I like the open air concept that allowed you to sit "inside" the restaurant, but still have the outside feel and street views.“

“Batch Gastropub in Miami was the perfect prelude to our 9-day cruise adventure! My wife and I stumbled upon this gem for dinner, and we were blown away by the experience. The ambiance was trendy and inviting, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu offered a delightful array of gourmet dishes, each bursting with flavor and expertly crafted. From the mouthwatering appetizers to the delectable main courses, every bite was a culinary delight. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations and ensuring that our evening was nothing short of spectacular. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in Miami, Batch Gastropub is a must-visit destination. Five stars all the way!“

“Amazing environment…you can say it’s like the old tv show “Cheers”…everyone knows your name and it’s like a family in the place. I’ve been going out there to shoot pool since 2017 and I’ve never left. Happy Hour is top tier for Miami and tournament are the best. All I can say is “Hotshots Billiards Club” is making America great again!!!“

“Oh this is the place to be right here. I fell in love with their grilled chicken sandwich and wings. The place is very well hidden in the back of the building which is why they probably call it a hold in the wall because it really is. Service is pretty nice with very patient staff cause I definitely didn't know what to choose cause i wanted everything on the menu just bout lol. I have visited twice so far but plan on going back since it is right across the street. Don't forget to check out those wings, they are HUGE!!!!!“

“My first time dining there was yesterday for my sister's birthday celebration ? ? and I must say that the fusion food was outstanding and the attention to detail on the service was genuine. Moreover, the portion size of the servings was ideal! Inviting atmosphere both in the part of the staff and other fellow patrons and diners.“

“One of the original south Dade county dive bars with the best chicken wings. Unfortunately haven’t been in years (long story) but great burgers and for sure wings. Great atmosphere as you’d expect from a local hole in the wall. Highly recommend. I believe sports grill and hole in the wall all started from this joint.“

“Absolutely a great dining experience. I can honestly say that one dish outshined the other. I can tell you that you MUST try the crispy rice, like nothing I’ve tasted before.Ambience very nice, cozy, comfortable and tastefully decorated.Bar/cocktail selection outstanding with a very impressive bar as you enter the restaurant and greeted like a family member just entered your house.This will definitely not be my last time at SushiSake Sunset.Congrats and much success.See you soon.CarlosParking: Ample parking and safe“

“A Miami gem! A whirlpool of characters and vibes gathered for one collective purpose: to forget the outside world. Treat the bartenders well, they are friendly and will look out for you! Particularly a fan of karaoke on Tuesdays and Fridays. Personally, my favorite watering hole!“

“The place is a little hard to find since there's no sign outside but the waitress was kind enough to waive us down. Food was amazing! I did find a bone and salmon skin on my salmon benedict but nothing to knock down. We had Mia as our waiter and she was soo kind, enthusiastic and provided exceptional service. Shes really the best“

“I love this bar! We are staying at The Ritz for our anniversary weekend and decided to grab a drink here after dinner. This bar has such good vibes, live music, a cozy atmosphere and great drinks. What's better than that!? Hubby got an espresso martini and I got the French 47. It was the most expensive cocktail I've ever had at $36, but so worth it! It tasted amazing! So refreshing and light, I ordered 2 lol. It was anniversary weekend, yolo. Service was friendly and relaxed. So classy and refined. Drinks are more pricey than normal but they are top notch. Hubby said his espresso martini was probably the best he's had in Miami. I loved this spot for a drink. Looks like they have a nice happy hour as well.“

“Mouth watering menu. This is a great choice for special occasions. Pricing is reasonable for the food's quality. Lpm's chefs have mastered their craft. I especially enjoyed the yellow tail carpaccio which is possibly the best thing I have ever eaten.“

“My partner and I have been building a list of great Happy Hours in the Grove. Botánico has quickly become our new favorite. What makes it particularly unique is the fact that it’s not limited to specific hours or days of the week— It’s ALL DAY, EVERY DAY! My favorite cocktail is the Mezcal Paloma, but equally delicious is The Margaret, a gin-infused twist on the classic margarita, embracing their signature spirit. With the exception of the wedge salad, we usually stick to the happy hour menu for bites. The Choripan, Gambas Al Ajillo, and Tuna Tostadas are our top picks. They’re perfect for sharing, which works out great for us. If you are lucky enough to have Mike as your server, you are in good hands. The atmosphere is al fresco with the entire dining room open to the outside with comfortable couch and table seating. It’s always busy and lively which adds to the enjoyment and experience. I suppose the location is particularly dog friendly as dog owners seem to flock here.“

“There are many dining options in CG, but sometimes it’s hard to find something that doesn’t break the bank with food you would come back for. This was a find. My wife and I live nearby and it’s now an option for a non-extravagant and not too expensive neighborhood dinner for two. Half-price bottles of wine on Wednesdays help. All the food was great, the grilled octopus with the green mole and potatoes was particularly delicious and well made. Some of the staff was new, but they were extremely pleasant and professional. Only not so great detail was the music, it really didn’t go with the green, cosy, laid-back atmosphere and we needed to strain our voices even though it was early and there were few other patrons.“

“How about this spectacular view while having a drink and some appetizer. This is in the Conrad hotel, Brickell. Amazing restaurant inside for a nice dinner. I really like their happy hour but ask if they still have it. If not, the prices for drinks and food are good and normal for Miami.“

“JW Marriott is located in the Bricknell area of Miami. It is in a great location within walking distance of many restaurants and shopping. There is a CVS next door if you need anything quick. There are two Publix grocery stores within walking distance if you want more things. And the beach is not too far either. The JW Marriott main entrance is on the side of the building for car drop off. For walking, the main entrance include many stairs. If you have problems with stairs, go to the side to avoid stairs. While this hotel is showing its wear and rooms need a desperate refresh, the sleep quality is very good. You don't hear noises between rooms, but you can occasionally hear street noise, but it does not disturb your sleep. Checkin: We arrived before check-in time and if with Marriott Platnium Lifetime, we were not able to check-in early because we were under a group rate. The employee said he would not give us an estimate of time because he did not want our satisfaction rating to be low. That comment irked me, he said our room was being inspected but had no clue what time it would be ready. He gave us a key to access the Concierge Lounge took our luggage and made a big deal that if we lose our ticket we could not get our luggage. We were able to connect to the Conference room WIFI since we had no room and 15 minutes later our room was ready. Not a great check-in experience from the gentlemen. Room: The hotel is showing wear. I know part of the hotel is being renovated. We got the old room. Everything is old and needs a refresh. The furniture is old. The linens are old. The lighting is bad, but thankfully the room has great big windows. You can open the curtains and get natural light in. The room has King bed (mattress and pillows are old and need to be replaced), chair (uncomfortable because of old cushion), table and chair (but the table is too high and chair too low to work comfortably). The pillows are so flat that using two of them still did not provide for comfortable night sleep, I called down to ask for firmer or newer pillows and they said they did not have any. The linens also smelled bad. They looked clean, but they had a musty smell. If I lived in Miami, I would have gone to the store and bought new pillows. There is a safe, TV, and JWs are all switching to snacks and a fridge full of drinks that you cannot touch since they instantly charge you. The coffee maker is horrible tasting coffee, but they do provide 2 waters daily free. Bathroom: Single sink, shower/tub combo, and toilet. Since most Marriotts are removing their tubs, it was nice to have a tub to enjoy. The tub is showing wear and multiple repairs, but it held water and it was very hot. The water pressure is not the best, but it did fill up. The shower was nice and hot. The bathroom again is very dark. If you need to apply makeup, suggest doing it in the room with all the curtains open. The amenities are all nice brands. The towels are the worst. They are so thin and not up to JW standards. They also smelled super musty and need to be replaced. I went down to the gym to get new towels. The towels in the gym are way better and thicker. Concierge Lounge: It is located on the 21st floor and provides snacks and drinks. We did not come up for free breakfast or appetizers. I did try the coffee machine, it is okay coffee. Espresso is good, but the rest of the drinks that add milk or cocoa, the coffee tastes weak. We did come up to have some water. I grabbed some chips to snack on. And one evening, they were offering free drinks as appreciation for being Marriott Reward Members. That was very nice. Gym: There is a gym on the 7th floor with a swimming pool. It has a nice locker room with a sauna. The sauna was closed for renovation. The last time I came here it was under renovation, so I was bummed I could not use it. There were plenty of treadmills, but all but one was broken. I used the bicycle until the treadmill came free. There are plenty of weights machines. I did not use the pool. Conference rooms: There are on the 5th floor and can be accessed by “

We enjoyed our Saturday night talking, drinking, and eating. She explained everything very well, made sure we felt comfortable and knowledgeable. Overall, a great experience; will be coming back.“
