“Cocktails are amazing, beautiful balanced flavor and really exciting signature cocktails with a fancy preparation technique.
The only downside is that the staff seemed a bit disorganized, waiting for cocktails took long, some small bits were forgotten. It looks like a starting out bar trying to find its groove, but for the cocktails of this quality it’s worth it!“

“A friend said this is one of the best burgers they had. They took me to try it. I’ll give it a 6/10. I just found it too greasy and they have it only Monday for limited quantity. The homemade pickles and bread were good. Drinks were also great. We parked at the hotel which is $21 for three hours and you can get a discount for the store. $16 for parking, $20 for a burger. They should try to get a better discount for the parking.“

“Great restaurant the food was great and our server Karla was very professional and courteous.“

“Met up with a friend here on Wednesday night- who was in from out of town. As soon as I walked in I was struck by the cool -intimate vibe of the whole place. It was one of those moments where I didn’t feel like I was in Miami anymore- in a good way. The Dj was a vibe - and the female bartender greeted me instantly and offered me a menu and a glass of water. The place was the right amount of busy for a Wednesday - but not over crowded. I didn’t drink alcohol but I had a really good time- which says a lot in and of itself. Would love if they had some non alcoholic drink options on the menu-but maybe thats asking too much- lol. either way- would def be back for the vibes.“

“Firsy things first, This restaurant is now called Celias. We were looking for Biscayne Tavern and walked right past it twice lol. 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.“

“De los mejores, en sus preparaciones sientes todo el sabor y sazón de la comida peruana. Altamente recomendado!“

“Awsome service food quality. Great pizza & Veronica #1 server. God Bless you“

“The place is super nice, consistently attended by its waiters, with excellent service. To start, we had some delicious empanadas. We had sorrentinos and spaghetti for the main course, and they were delicious! And for dessert, dulce de leche pancake with ice cream. Very lovely atmosphere! Highly recommended!“

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

“Ten out of ten. Mother Wolf Miami delivered one of the best Italian meals I’ve had outside of Italy, honestly, I’d imagine this is close to the real thing.

We started with the panzanella salad, which was fresh and perfectly balanced. The lamb chops were cooked beautifully, and the gnocchi were pillowy soft with incredible flavor. We finished with the tiramisu, which was the perfect ending to the meal.

Our server, Ryan, made the night even better , attentive, knowledgeable, and just genuinely great to have at our table.

Can’t recommend this place enough. Already thinking about when we can go back.“

“It's Excellent food services“

“Our group was BLOWN AWAY by the atmosphere, service and most importantly the amazing dishes. Yeah the snacks (gunpowder popcorn and roasted peanuts) are awesome but the Papaya Salad was an experience and the Sag Paneer was the best any of us have ever had. Hot damn, the Ghost Pepper Cheddar Nan and Truffle Brie Nan were unique and amazing. The Lamb Neck was fall off the bone stupendous and the Tandoori Chicken was authentic and the best we all have ever had. The people were exceptional. This place is a real find.“
