“My group had a wonderful time at ZOI Restaurant today lunch time. There were 10 of us celebrating 2 Birthday’s. From the large free parking lot to the entrance, gorgeous orchids growing on the lush trees greet you. The outdoor garden patio seating area where we dined is magical, and the seats are so plush and comfortable. It’s an unexpected botanical garden of palms, cycads, orchids, and bromeliads surrounding large lagoons. The Mediterranean /Greek food is wonderfully delicious, especially the variety of Mezzes that I had. The grilled Octopus and Lamb Chops were sensational. ZOI has developed the perfect mix of food, intimacy, and culinary expertise. Management spoiled us with pampering and great service. This place was so much fun, we didn’t want to leave.“

“Branja is a solid option!
There is not much around the area, branja and another restaurant near it.

Venue is very pretty with a great glass ceiling, there are a few small businesses around.

If you book via the reservation app, restaurant is what gives you space under the nice glass roof.

Restaurant is part of Miami spice.

The short rib is a great dish and special mention to the schnitzel that was amazing: crispy and juicy!“

“Best Shawarma in Florida. HANDS DOWN!!“

“Mint Beirut is a gem! The food is absolutely amazing—authentic Lebanese flavors that instantly made it my favorite spot. The owner was incredibly kind and even let me try their Kibe and lentils, which were beyond delicious! The portions are generous, and everything we ordered was fantastic. I’m already craving more and can’t wait to come back. Thank you.“

“Had a great meal at Sha Wynwood. We had the velvet octopus for an appetizer (yum!) and everyone's entrees were delicious. Also a trustworthy place because I happened to forget my card and they had it for me the next day! Thank you, Sha!“

“Excellent service , friendly staff“

“Amazing food, wonderful service, and the best vibes! The owner was incredibly hospitable and even treated us to dessert on the house. The beet hummus and mixed grill were absolutely delicious just like authentic home-cooked food. Sitting outside under the lights with a refreshing breeze and Arabic music in the background made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and genuine hospitality!“

“Comida muy rica y lugar agradable“

“Honest ingredients, great value. Erika is great!
EDIT: Using Uber Eats I usually order the 2x1 with an extra scoop of protein, and the extra scoop of protein was missing the last 4 times. I know it’s not inside the bowl itself because I count calories and I measure my food, and also there has been a few times that you guys got it right and came in a separate container“

“Excellent food, service and in few days a week music…..the owner “Luis” so pleasant and runs his place very profesional. Very nice place to have dinner, celebrate a birthday or any occasion, it is a family and friends place. One of our family favorite!“

“I was wanting some Greek food that was uniquely Miami during vacation and Taula more than hit the spot. Walkable from downtown Miami hotels, you will definitely get your fill from their gigantic portions! I also really appreciate that even though I didn't see their baked chicken entree on their current menu, Taula still hooked it up for me. Thanks for the great meal and service!“

“One of the best restaurants in Miami..loved it“

“I absolutely love gyros and discovered this place close by my house. I got the traditional gyro with Greek fries. They were served fresh and they were delicious. Enjoyed sitting in their outdoor sitting area, it was a very nice evening. Great customer service too! Will definitely be coming back! Thank you!“

“I walked in with no reservation and they were able to accommodate me with a reasonable wait time. Great prices, lovely atmosphere and perfect for groups. Douglas was very friendly and helpful with recommending food items. The cornbread is delicious!“

“La Martola is a beautiful new Italian restaurant in the ever growing area of Buena Vista. It's a large restaurant with lots of inside and outdoor dining. The food is great - lots of options for appetizers and main courses and a long list of pizzas. We had the burrata salad with soft creamy cheese sprinkled with pistachios, the tagliolini with lemon and the Classico (or margherita) pizza which was very tasty and delicious. There is a nice wine list with lots of wines by the glass. A great experience. We sat outside and the live music was a little loud - perhaps acoustic, rather than electronic music would be better in the space. But a delightful delicious meal that warrants a return visit.“

“Fugato is truly a hidden gem and, in my opinion, the best restaurant in Miami right now. Every detail — from the ambiance to the incredible service and outstanding food — is simply flawless. The flavors are authentic and unforgettable, and the passion behind every dish is evident. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Fugato is an absolute must-visit!“

“Happeas is absolutely amazing! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. Every bite feels healthy and satisfying, and the portions are just right. The staff is super friendly, welcoming, and quick with service, which makes the whole experience even better. I love how consistent they are with quality—it’s become one of my go-to spots. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious, wholesome food!“

“Some of the best food you can get on the west Kendall area“

“Really wanted to give 5 star but can’t. We ordered kabob platter where kabob was damn GOOD and it comes with rice that was actually dry and did not come with any salad or sauce. I will give the kabob 10/10 and it is more delicious, tender and flavorful than any other Mediterranean restaurant’s..!!!“

“Increíble food and service the best“

“LOVE IT!“

“The service was excellent but over price for the quality of the food“

“Healthy food and fresh ingredients. Definitely will be back !!!!!“

“I love coming to this place because the food is amazing and the service is so lovely. I recently placed an order but was having issues with the website and was unable to process anything. I called the location and the manger Maria was so sweet and kind. She helped me resolve my issue. There is no place like rice where you receive the love and warmth when you walk in. The food here is always fresh and amazingly delicious. Thank you Maria for your kindness. There is truly no words to describe how amazing you are for assisting me today. Will always be coming back here.“

“Bahia at the Four Seasons Miami stands as a culinary gem, offering an unforgettable dining experience that tantalizes the senses. From the moment you step into this oasis, the warm and attentive service sets a tone of unparalleled hospitality. The journey begins with a delightful array of dips, featuring the creamiest hummus and a rich, smoky babaganoush, each bursting with authentic flavors. The mezze, particularly the falafel, are crafted to perfection, offering a crisp exterior and a tender, flavorful heart that transports you to the streets of the Middle East. As for the main courses, the swordfish kebab and gambas al forno are masterpieces. The swordfish, grilled to a sublime tenderness, harmonizes beautifully with its Mediterranean-inspired marinade. The gambas al forno are a revelation, with each shrimp perfectly cooked and infused with a blend of spices that elevates this dish to new heights. The crescendo of this culinary symphony is the dessert – a heavenly baklava paired with lemon ice cream. The baklava, with its layers of flaky pastry, nuts, and honey, provides a textural contrast to the refreshing and tangy lemon ice cream, culminating in a dance of sweet and citrus on the palate. The ambiance of Bahia complements its cuisine flawlessly, blending elegance with a relaxed Mediterranean charm. Every detail, from the decor to the lighting, creates an environment that enhances the overall dining experience. Bahia is not just a restaurant; it is a destination where every dish tells a story, each bite is a celebration, and the service is as memorable as the food. A visit to Bahia at the Four Seasons Miami is an indulgence for the soul and a feast for the senses.“

“We had an outstanding dinner with the finest service. Everything about this place is excellent. I highly recommend!“

“Awesome food! I loved it and have enough for another meal. I will go back again!“

“We tried the TD Experience pop up and everything was spectacular! The wines & flavors took us right back to Italy and the service was top tier. This is such a hidden gem in Key Biscayne and we're so glad we found it. We will definitely go back very soon!“

“We visited Motek for happy hour on our most recent trip to Miami. I actually ran into some of the main cast of one of my favourite shows on TLC at this restaurant (loved that !) Very nice atmosphere, delicious food, drinks and dessert, friendly crowd and staff. Love that there’s outdoor seating. Can’t wait to visit again ♥️“

“Muy lindo lugar muy agradable muy Familiar me encanto mucho si así es Turquía wow encantada de ir a ese lindo país que me tiene enamorada de sus productos por las novelas y ahora la comida wow muy rica nunca había aprobado comida del Medio Oriente y nos encantó mucho delicioso todo satisfecha lo recomiendo mucho este lugar“

“No photos need. Great ambience as you walk into the dinning room, extremely friendly staff all around. Our server, Arun, was phenomenal from start to finish. He could have served me fast food and I would have left happy. But luckily the food lived up to his level of service. Started with some octopus that was plated very well (loved the sliced large portions that showed the beautiful inside next to the tentacles) our 1 year old loved it.
Entrees- Who orders non locally caught salmon at a restaurant in 2024 (my daughter does) and expects to it blow you away? Well it did, the plating was on point and colorful but not silly, the skin was perfectly crispy and the filet itself literally melted in your mouth. She crushed it. Wifey had the vegetable gnocchi, I was only able to steal 2 before it was gone… I had the wagyu ny, could have held more seasoning but its a wagyu so I can’t complain at all let the meat talk for itself. Wanted MR came more rare but again it’s a damn wagyu, eat it raw and you are straight… chocolate fondant for dessert delivered a nice sweet ending for the fam. Sweet & spicy margarita was absolute fire 10/10. Would drink 5 if the kids were home. Manger on duty was very sweet and helpful and just insured we had a very nice night. We are on a day trip and live an hour and a half away and felt like we were on a long foreign vaca (all the other tables speaking other languages helped too). Being in the industry it’s nice to go out and actually enjoy every aspect of your experience. Our second time at this hotel and it’s becoming one of our favorites in town and tonight’s dinner had a big influence.“

“This unique restaurant made me feel not only comfortable, but well served as if I were a queen. From the environment, to the dancers, and even our waiters. We truly felt like Jasmine from the movie Aladdin. The food was EXOTIC, delicious, and one of a kind. After sipping on a while bottle of red wine I opted for the espresso for dessert and let me tell you.... best coffee I have ever tasted in South Florida. Can't thank the warming staff for keeping this place one of my number one restaurants in Florida! Oh and this was at the Hallandale location, can't imagine the Miami spot. ALSO, please sit outdoors! It's picture heaven for any content creator. Thanks again Jaffa! Keep shinning on.“

“We wanted something to go and it was perfect! I'm vegan and my family is not, and they had options for all of us. Food is fresh and good. Service is fast. I really appreciate the amount of options they had. I tried the pita melt and I love it but It was too much for me, next time I'll be sharing the combo.“
