Went inside the hotel and they let us know we were in the right spot and that the name had changed. The food was very tasty and served hot. The Mahi Mahi sandwich was seasoned perfectly and the cilantro sauce was delicious. We had a few drinks that were also delicious. Overall its a nice place, decorated beautifully with tropical colors and accents.“

“Great dinner! Open table suggested I give this restaurant a try......they were right!! Each dish was amazing and came with a performance presentation! My husband had the sea bass and said it was the best he ever had. I had the filet and the pome puree. Bothe were great! The desert was a show we had 6 leches pearl cake it was great! The neighboring tables were fun to watch. Smokey drinks brought in a chest that glowed blue with smoke billowing out snd a seafood tower with sparklers and smoke from dry ice! All the drama! We will be back!“

“Delicious food, a shock to the taste buds“

“Excelente servicio y calidad lo recomiendo 💯 %“

“The Thousand Sunny in Pinecrest is an absolute gem. It's truly an amazing spot that perfectly blends incredible food with an atmosphere any anime fan will fall in love with. From the moment you walk in, the One Piece themed decor immediately sets the tone. It’s colorful, detailed, and packed with fun references that make you feel like you’ve stepped right onto the Going Merry. The food here is just as impressive as the ambiance. Every dish we tried was delicious, beautifully presented, and reasonably priced; a rare combination these days. The hot pot dishes were definite standouts. On top of that, the staff was genuinely kind and welcoming, adding to the warm, friendly energy of the place. Whether you’re an anime fan or just someone looking for great food and good vibes, The Thousand Sunny is absolutely worth checking out.“

“Ottimo cibo e cordialità, titolare top!!!“

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

“Red Rooster did not disappoint. We loved the vibe of the restaurant and were welcomed in by the reception desk for our reservation. Our server Jose was very helpful with making decisions about our selections. We started with the deviled eggs and the hoppin John's salad. Both were great. The salad was very fresh, the dressing was super and it was all finished with crispy chickpeas. My husband got the fried chicken and I got the fish fry. So good. We will be back“

“One of our favorite restaurants!“

“LOVE! Walter is an amazing server and the staff as a whole is super into it. Watching FSU V Miami and couldn’t imagine a better vibe“

“Stopped in for a light breakfast and some coffee on June 17, 2025. Had a great server by the name of Richie S. He was prompt, polite and professional. The three p's that denotes a great employee. He was also patience and properly groomed, those are rare qualities in today's society. This made my dining experience exceptional, and I have always enjoyed stopping at Denny's when traveling. It also made my day, thanks to Richie and the entire staff of Denny's at 3600 Biscayne Blvd in Miami, Florida.“

“Jason… our server gave exceptional service. Food was delicious 😋 highly recommend this place“

“Tiffany great service“

“Restaurant is beautiful. You don't feel like you're in a mall. Our only hiccup: we had two large tables in our party. One sat by the bar, one sat by the kitchen. The server for the by the bar table was the best. Fast service, very attentive, great food, separate checks no problem. The server by the kitchen was great until he said he couldn't do separate checks. We sought a second opinion from a manager since it was just completed with no difficulty by a server. The manager provided some backend info and lack of communication on their part reasoning, but none of it rang true because of the separate check experience with our other table. Equally upsetting is that the manager seemed to be scolding the server who did our separate checks with no issue. In the end after about a 20 minute delay, we were able to do separate checks, but the way in which it was handled needs to be improved.“

“Everything about the restaurant was great. Our server Jaslyn was very attentive and ensured we got our meals exactly how we wanted them. The allowed us to change our sides with the bay back ribs which were really delicious. When we were leaving one of my friends accidentally dropped her passport and we were travelling early the next day. The restaurant called us and notified us and we were able to return and retrieve it. That saved us a lot of anxiety and stress. Overall a great experience and we will definitely return again.“

“Excellent food and service.The quality of the food and ingredients is appreciated. Our waiter Sebastian was the perfect complement to the excellence“

“Love it. Still the same from back in the day.“

“The quality of food is high, for that I recommend it. The reason I wouldn’t go back is that the staff just did not care we were there at all. Still waiting for them to ask how everything is… we came through last year and had a totally different experience staff was super friendly and engaged even though the place was packed. We caught them at turnover and they couldn’t care less. We talked about hitting craft as a high point for our one night in Miami before cruising… and now we won’t bother going back to Bayside.“

“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.“

“Amazing spot for a delicious meal. The Scottish salmon was the best Salmon I’ve ever had- truly delicious!“

“Excelente ambiente y lugar. Buena comida!“

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

“Great place for couples!. A great choice for a first date. The food was served buffet style, and the service was excellent. They have a dance floor and a bar area with many intimate dining tables for couples. And if you are feeling romantic, Just 2 blocks away you will find the Executive Airport Hotel with sexy and romantic suites!“

“I wouldn’t call this is a gastropub - it’s a sports bar. The walls are lined with screens showing American sport and it’s noisy. So if that’s not your thing, stay away. \nWe had a good experience. There’s a wide selection of beers and food (burgers etc) is very good. Service was very friendly and quick. Worth a visit.“

“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.“

“No birthday desert for 80th birthday! Very surprising as other restaurant do something!“

“Really good service by Biannel & Yurisan! Definitely coming back! Great and service and food all around :)“

“We've been eating at this restaurant for over 10 years I want to say and we've never had an issue with the food quality, except this past time. Our salmon tacos tasted a little bit frozen and came out to burnt. This is all just constructive because we love this restaurant, so much. “

“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.“

“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!!“

“Nice smiling faces! felt nice and welcome! Thank you“

“Exceptional Service. Had a signature dish. Chicken Thigh Chops with mushroom risotto. I include a picture of the presentation which was amazing but it tasted even better than it looked. Perfectly seasoned and juicy. They used bacon to wrap the asparagus.🤤“

“We stopped in last Monday to kill time before we had to be on our cruise. I had the southwest salad amazingly delicious. My husband had the cheeseburger paradise, he said it was a great burger. Our bartenders Lisa and Dezearae were amazing. Always checking on us. They are very polite. Those two work well together. Definitely recommend and if you can get these two bartenders I can guarantee your experience will be amazing.“
