“Lovely new Mediterranean spot right in the heart of West Kendall! From the creamy hummus to the perfectly grilled kabobs, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Every bite was packed with flavor and prepared to perfection.

The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The TVs were showing the soccer match—as they should be—and the entire restaurant erupted with excitement when Brazil scored the winning goal. The energy in the room was infectious and made for such a fun dining experience… almost as sweet as the incredible baklava that ended the meal.

Delicious food, great atmosphere, excellent service, and a lively vibe. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Amazing food and service with a beautiful ambience and live music! Definitely a must visit when in Doral/Miami!“

“I was visiting Miami for the first time and I got my first meal in Taula. I couldn’t be more happy with this restaurant. The food was amazing and we recieved such an amazing friendly service.
Highly recommended to all for having a great experience“

“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!“

“�% recommended“

“Ian is the greatest server of all time. He just told me that it was his second day and I’m in utter shock due to the experience and upmost hospitality that he’s provided me and my friends tonight. Amazing he deserves a raise he should be the manager of this place as the true future in this guy. Hope anyone reading this has a great night.“

“Best Shawarma in Florida. HANDS DOWN!!“

“Stopped in for a late lunch on a saturday. Plenty of tables available, great atmosphere, nice background music that allowed you to have a conversation. We ordered the Mediterranean salad and the pistachio encrusted salmon and shared both. They were both excellent. We did not try the cocktails. We would definitely go back and recommend it.“

“We were a party of 6 (7 if you count the dog) and enjoyed all items ordered; healthy and great quality produce.“

“Amazing restaurant with the best authentic food. Victoria our waitress was exceptional from the moment we walked in. She was very attentive and kind. The owner is also amazing. Very enthusiastic, kind, and generous. The food was so delicious as well“

“The food is delicious and so fresh. They have a couple of tables inside to sit at. The place is very clean and the service is excellent. I can highly recommend Mint Beirut!“

“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!“

“This is one of my favorite go-to places for a really delicious, filling meal that is reasonably priced. The basmati rice is just perfect, and the chicken joojeh and tenderloin chanjeh with the sumac sauce is so good! The sirloin kubideh is also solid. The spicy sumac sauce adds just a little bit of kick to the original too. They also have prepared foods that you can build your own bowl/plate with for an even lower price if you want a quick, cheaper meal. My company even had them cater a work party and the food was really good even cold later into the night. Highly recommend this place!“

“I just had what is probably the best burger Miami has to offer.

The bun was incredible, the meat was cooked to perfection, the caramelized onions had the perfect smoky flavor, and somehow the burger stayed together from the first bite to the last.

And the sauce? Out of this world.

They won Miami’s Best Burger, and honestly… end of story.“

It’s a lovely place to have a meal. Thank you so much.“

“Increíble food and service the best“

“Todo Riquísimo, al lado de la playa, un ambiente muy agradable, y tienen música en vivo los Sábados de 3 a 5pm un grupo de rumbas flamencas, muy bueno. Ideal para pasar el domingo“

“I had an excellent experience. The atmosphere was great, but what really stood out was the service. Fabiola was very attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the entire visit.

And I especially have to highlight LUISA — her drinks were AMAZING. You can really tell how much talent and dedication she puts into every cocktail. Every drink was perfectly made, with incredible flavor and presentation. Honestly, some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long time. Luisa truly made the experience even more special, and I would definitely come back mainly for her drinks. Highly recommend trying anything made by her.“

The food was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared, with a nice variety of options to choose from. The drinks were enjoyable, and the overall dining experience was made even better by the pleasant setting and comfortable ambiance.

The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure everything was taken care of throughout the visit. The team was welcoming, professional, and contributed to a very enjoyable experience.

The location at Oceanside Miami adds to the appeal, providing a great environment to unwind and enjoy the Miami atmosphere. Whether stopping by for a casual meal, a drink, or a relaxing evening, The Tavern is a great choice.

Overall, The Tavern at Oceanside Miami offers delicious food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to visiting again.“

“Great Hospitality, food, drinks and ambiance!“

“LOVE IT!“

“Wonderful French/Mediterranean restaurant in South Beach. I've eaten there on two separate occasions and both experiences were top. With the beautifully designed in and outdoor spaces, a warm, relaxing atmosphere you know immediately you are in a special place. The terrace itself is on the Bay with the gorgeous views of Miami and its skyline. The food on both nights was excellent (duck one night salmon, Greek salad the second) with beautiful presentations, freshness and superb flavors. And that goes for the dishes of others in our group. The deserts we tried were excellent, specially the Chocolate Sensation!! Service is excellent, just what you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber. For instance, one of the nights was windy and cool and they offered us warm blankets or moving inside. On a scale of 1 - 100, I would give this restaurant a 90.“

“Amazing Experience“

“This food was amazing. Got their protein platter with vegan chicken! Great portion, great flavor, and Mel was such a great help. Very kind!

If you are vegan, Vegetarian or a normal meat based diet, you would love the food.“

“Amazing food and the owner is just as amazing. Very friendly, he stopped what he was doing to get me and my girl a table and chairs even though I said it's OK because we were taking it to go and he was very busy. But he insisted and also gave us bottled water (which he didn't charge for) as well. This man's customer service skills should be on a video for all in the service industry to learn from. His ingredients were all fresh and freshly chopped, he gave us samples of the meat we were eating and it was delicious and well seasoned. The food presentation was amazing and very neat. I had the lamb gyro and it was hands down the best one I've ever had in my life. If you nearby and you like gyros you will be robbing yourself if you done try this. Oh and he gave me a discount because I came to him the first night and he was out of gryos.. i wasn't mad though because it was late like right before he closed. This man apologized and told me if I come back he would take care of me and he really did so I gave him double what he ask for because I'm not looking for a handout but to be that nice and cook food that good this man is the truth.. I don't usually write whole books for reviews but it was just that good“

“The hard part is entrance. You go through a gate, to the end to a guest parking then enter the building and turn right then left. After a confusing entrance there is a very quiet restaurant with nice spacing, great for having conversations. Server was great and helpful with choosing appetizers, entrees and wine. Pasta was on-point and very balanced. All in all, a great place for both a romantic date or a business dinner. Will return.“

“Loved the place, excellent service, food was delish“

“I recently stayed at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami for a work event and discovered an absolute gem right inside the hotel - Boulud Sud Miami. While there are so many great dining options around Brickell, I wasn’t feeling up to venturing out after a long day and decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did.

I had one of the best dinners I’ve had in Miami sitting right at the bar. The Greek salad was incredibly light, fresh, and flavorful and the portion was huge. The branzino was absolutely outstanding and cooked to perfection. To top it all off, I ordered a beautiful dessert featuring pistachio pudding, baklava, and cheesecake that was every bit as delicious as it looked.

The service was truly top notch from start to finish. Every detail felt thoughtful and polished, and you can tell the staff genuinely cares about creating a great experience for guests. I enjoyed it so much that I went back the very next day for their three course lunch special. The mussels were perfection in a light white wine sauce, paired with amazing bread that was impossible not to dip into every last bite. The chicken cutlet was fantastic, and the flan was decadent, elegant, and the perfect ending to the meal.

There are plenty of amazing restaurants in the Brickell area, but this is absolutely a must visit when in Miami. Huge kudos to the chef and the entire staff for delivering such consistently exceptional food and hospitality.“
