“Old Lisbon is (hands down!) our favorite restaurant in So. Florida. The service is always warm and genuinely friendly, and the Portuguese comfort food tastes like it came straight from a family kitchen. The wine list is excellent, with a remarkably knowledgeable (yet completely unpretentious) sommelier. Elegant but cozy atmosphere - it’s the kind of place we never get tired of coming back to. Highly recommended!“

“Ball & Chain was one of the highlights of my Miami trip! I was on a tour and short on time, but our waitress Pamela took great care of us. She got our food out quickly, and she was so sweet, kind, and full of great energy the whole time.

As a vegetarian, I always struggle to find places with food that actually tastes good, but this place hit a bull’s eye. The veggie wrap was packed with flavor, and the fries tasted like real fresh potatoes! We finished with churros, and honestly, they might be the best churros I’ve ever had.

Everything was fresh, the service was fantastic, and I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Miami. A must!!!“

“First time there . As soon as I walked through the door I was led to an empty seat and immediately shown how to see the menu . Promptly given some cold water as i was walking around the area and a bit hot so it was perfect while i checked over the menu . As soon as i put the online menu down I was asked what I would like to order . I ordered the cheeseboard and a Daphne Hates sherry cocktail made by bartender Daniel . It was great . He was super hospitable and made sure I was enjoying my time . I cannot lie he made me feel like family and showed me great service . I noticed how busy he was and he handled all orders with ease while still checking in on me and making sure I was enjoying my experience, which I did . The ambience, the decor, the positive vibe of people and staff emphasis on the bartender Daniel, I will for sure be returning and mentioning to friends to check it out .“

“I visited Terras since I was staying at Jefferson Hotel and Terras is conventiently located on the top floor of hotel. I decided to have dinner there and I did not regret my decision. The meal I selected was excellent, delicious!! Manuel greeted me with a genuine smile. He made a delicious margarita for me and althought he was tending to other customers at the bar where I sat, he made me feel so comfortable while I waited for my takeout meal. I informed him that I was visiting Miami for the first time. I asked him where is the best place for breakfast and he told me SW 8th St. I really appreciated the time he took with me. Terras has a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere and he even suggested that I should check out the skyline. I took a few picture as it was Beautiful at dusk. I will make it a point to visit Terras on my next journey to Miami. Thank you Manuel for being your authentic self!!“
