“"We had a large celebration party with dietary restrictions and Vegans. Chef Diego Oka, both managers and the amazing team were spot on the entire night. We could not have asked for a better experience. What a great Grande Finale', IT WAS EPIC !!!!"“

“This place is really cool. I’m local and just stumbled across it looking for a place open late for dinner. Their kitchen is open until midnight. The food is surprisingly good and fresh. Everything seems homemade and they have some of the best French fries I’ve ever had. I got the veggie burger with a lettuce wrap (vegan option). The vibe is also cool with a lot of character. A mix of locals and tourists alike. Service was okay despite Saturday night crowds.“

“What a fine cute little restaurant tucked inside what seems like a jungle hideaway. The music is tropical and inviting the bar is half filled with patrons as I currently write this and it’s my second time here. the first time I had the chicken Parm it was excellent this next time I’m getting the burger Because as it turned out they’re out of the chicken Parm. Margo is that cute little restaurant that fits the need of a local spot as well as a reasonable destination if you’re trying to go somewhere new definitely recommend check it out“

“Food was good, did not realize this was a hookah bar when we booked for a business dinner. Service was a bit slow and not very friendly. Food came quickly when ordered. The croquettes were awesome, charcuterie board was good, and fries were yummy. Happy hour until 8 which is nice!“

“Went on a Saturday night, it was really busy and crammed which is to be expected since it’s a small place. I got the bright melon drink, which was pretty good, the music was good. Would go back on a weeknight instead. It’s a nice lounge, but definitely too crowded on the weekend.“

“Maybe I’m just TOO OLD for this environment (look at my attached photo). The “smashed burgers” …are NOT real “smashed burgers”, you can tell they were cheap, processed “meat” patties. The wings, event though I did want them well done—they went to an extreme. It was like eating “hard crackers”. The BEER ? was Cold, so that’s a “+”. Fries were “meh”.

Come try and judge for yourself, it’s not worth it for me to come back. I wish them well and LOTS of SUCCESS with their type of crowd. Music was just wayyy TOO LOUD for Me. To the point that it hurt my ears. Again, maybe I’m just TOO OLD for this environment (look at my attached photo).“

“The best smoked turkey BLT and Mac-n-cheese I’ve ever had. Simply amazing“

“the best! great laid back atmosphere. it's a must!“

“Nice atmosphere and delicious drinks“

“I recently visited Coconut Grove with my wife from Colombia, and we decided to check out The Oyster Bar by Eva. Criscelis, the bartender, was absolutely incredible! Her cocktails were delicious, and she was very friendly and conversational, making the whole experience even better. We had a fantastic time and enjoyed a wonderful atmosphere.

If you’re looking for great drinks and delicious oysters, I highly recommend this spot! It’s a must-visit in Coconut Grove.“

“Well kept secret/ too small to be too popular- gorgeous inside- great bar ware-“

“This is a Great place for music“

“Great place to come after party or dinner, good cocktails and great 80’s and 90’s music, food it is an absolute no, I bought a prosciutto with arugula flat bread and was burnt, no prosciutto found and tiny chop pieces of mixed salad not arugula 😞definitely not a place to eat but you can enjoy the music and cocktails.“

“I absolutely loved the venue at Mode in Miami! The atmosphere was incredibly friendly, and I felt welcomed and hospitable from the moment I walked in. The gentleman at the door, Tommy (I think that was his name), greeted me with such cordiality and professionalism that I immediately felt at home. The vibe of the place was amazing, and it set the tone for a fantastic night.

The staff, from higher management, Tommy at the door and everyone else, were above stellar. You all truly made the experience unforgettable.

Steve Lawler was the DJ playing, and the music, DJ, and ambiance were simply amazing. I had an incredible time, as did my friends and business partners who were visiting from abroad. Thanks again, Mode team!“

“We had an excellent experience at this restaurant—the food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding.“

“La comida deliciosa y el servicio excelente que nos brindó María“

“Our server Ilber was out of this world!!! We don’t even knew we wanted it and it was there and it was exactly what we needed!!! Excellent service! He is the best!!! Ask for Ilber!!!!!“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. I always bring my friends here because we always get the best service and the most delicious food. And their desserts are my absolute favorite“

“What a great experience! Right in South Miami! Our waitress, Karen, was amazing! Very attentive and extremely helpful with the menu and drinks. She recommended the Omakase Signature to share. It comes with a variety of sushi. Compliments to the chef, it was exactly what we wanted and needed. 100% recommend coming down and seeing Karen and enjoying the delicious food and atmosphere!“

“Stellar mixology at one of the best rooftops in Miami. It was a very memorable afternoon into evening 🌞“

“I was here for a specific reason, to craft my own pizza, which was NOT on the menu. The women at the front said “You can ask, but I am not entirely sure” and that was good enough for me.The bartender, Chris, was extremely helpful and personable, and I wanted to create my own personal pizza, so he called out a chef to help me.One of the chefs, Tony an experienced foodie from NY, came out to discuss the order I wanted and told me it would be a little pricier as I wanted a “fat sandwich pizza” a staple from where I am in NJ and where I went to college.This pizza is a white pizza with no sauce besides buffalo drizzled over the top piled high with mozzarella cheese, french fries, chicken tender pieces and mozzarella sticks.The pizza was AMAZING, one of the best fat sango’s I had ever eaten, maybe they will put it on their menu for me :-).The price was $35 for this one pizza as the bartender whom was extremely busy accidentally charged me for a cheese pizza + a side of all the toppings. The chef corrected this mistake and comp’d me a bruschetta as he could not charge back what I paid with.Apparently restaurants starting with B in Wynwood have something in common, friendly, experienced staff and fantastic food.I introduce myself to make conversation at every restaurant and Baccano went above and beyond with my experience.“

“love this place! so much fun and good food!“

“Wxyz is an incredible bar inside the Aloft Hotel in Doral, its warm and intimate decoration personifies. It is elegant and also allows a casual atmosphere. Perfect for a date or drinks after work with friends. Creative cocktails and friendly bartenders“

“Fanstastic place to visit. The food is really good, fresh, tasty, and really very well served. Special recommendation would be the ceviche and the octopus, really amazing. The sweets are also vey good. The service was very good, attentive, and very friendly. We only found that the lack of at least one option for a French Champagne was a bit disappointing, especially as the option for Prosecco was not really a good one (should offer something more on the dry/brut side). The music was too loud for people to entertain a good conversation, especially as there was a large group next to us who themselves were speaking louder to balance. In any case an excellent place, good decoration, food, and service (a Miami price, but OK) which we would definitively mark as a come back.“

“Dorol steakhouse had some of the best food I have ever eaten. The place was quiet and being visitors from the far east coast, the waiter and the team were quite exceptional in their service. Great team specifically Jesus, he was a great server I would recommend to anyone any day! The chef did great even our kids enjoyed their meal. Will definitely comeback! I recommend this restaurant to anyone local or visiting Dorol or Miami area in general.“

“I went to celebrate my mom's birthday, I fell in love with the place as soon as I arrived, everyone was super friendly, my waiter was Francisco and I have to say that he is excellent, he suggested the dishes and he was very friendly and the food was a 10 out of 10. I will return every time I can

Parking: It's easy to park

Kid-friendliness: The menu is varied so that children can choose from and there is a wall of Legos for photos“

“Best salad … shrimp beets avocado OMG … 10 out of 10“

“Great fluid space in wynwood, where you can enjoy views on "higher ground" & also escape the heat to nestle indoors. Interior is really Modern with nice touches, our bartender was AHMAZING. (Samantha I believe was her name) & they also have events regularly.And for a place where food isn't the main focus - the food was different and well executed. We tried the veggie burger with the chili relish & Tzatziki - very cool combo ??“
