“My wife and I had such a great time dining at Neya Restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was lively, with fun music that added to the overall vibe. The service was spot on—fast, friendly, and super attentive. We'll definitely be coming back“

“I ordered a deconstructed pina colada from this bar. The bar is located downstairs below another bar. Please don't bother wasting your time or money at the upstairs bar. The atmosphere at Swizzle Rum Bar is super chill and laid back. Cozy, dark space to relax. Not a lot of seating, but this cannot be missed. You have to go. Anyway, back to the drink that I ordered. From reading reviews, this is how I found out about the deconstructed pina colada, because I didn't see it on the drink menu. I'm still dreaming about my drink, almost a month post-vacation. 🤣😂 This deconstructed pina colada is everything!! OMG. The goat cheese sauce (?) that comes on the side with the pina colada takes this drink to a whole new level. The goat cheese is sweet. This is a nice sized drink. The liquor weaves in seamlessly. My bartender gave me directions on how to drink this pina colada: take a sip of your drink, dip your tongue into the goat cheese and then take another sip of your drink and enjoy!! I need to go back to Miami just to order another one!! I ran out of goat cheese before I could finish my drink, so I asked for another serving and my bartender brought me more. If you don’t see this on the drink menu, ask your bartender about it. You won't be disappointed. 🥰😍🤩“

“Incredible experience at Café La Trova. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Libations were perfectly crafted and delicious. Our server, Isis, was amazing—warm, attentive, and made the evening feel extra special. The music and overall vibe were so fun and lively. Highly recommend!“

“The Tasting Menu was incredible on a Thursday night. We were greeted warmly, seated quickly, given enthusiastic recommendations. Every course was delicious and the wines were wonderful too. I'll definitely be back! We were also checked on several times by our server and the manager. Absolutely wonderful, 5 star service with a personal touch.“

“This was our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, the food was great and Rosita, our server was wonderful. She was very friendly, accommodating and continued to check on us and provide us with everything we needed. We will be back soon!“

“We loved the decor and vibe of this place.
The entrées here are amazing and authentic.
I would give it 5 stars if everything was worth the money. Margaritas are small and underwhelming for $20
Salads are also small and underwhelming. They are also $20 , but I would consider them a side salad.“

“Last Sunday we visit Salao Cuban Bar .As always every thing was amazing.Thanks for the food the beauty of the place and THE MUSIC wich is faboulous(violin a great duo“

“Our server, Ana, was fabulous! Hands down best server ever! She asked right away if we had any food allergy restrictions and was careful to be sure our celiac friend was well cared for. She was so attentive and so sweet to our party of 5. Sergio was awesome too, making sure we were all doing good. Food and drinks were great!“

“I first had the pleasure of dining here nearly two years ago, and it instantly became one of my favorite restaurants. From the warm atmosphere to the unforgettable flavors, everything about the experience was exceptional. The plate of pasta I had on that first visit was so memorable, it’s still the background on my phone — and I’ve made multiple trips to Miami just to come back and enjoy it again. The quality has never wavered. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.“

“Coyo Taco was recommended and we loved it. The Service staff was really nice and the best tacos we ever had. We definitely come back when we are on holidays again. Thank you!“

“We enjoyed Alma Cubana. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was vibrant, and our server was amazing. One minor complaint: I had chosen Alma Cubana bcs it supposedly had a lot of gluten free options. It did not. I was able to get a rice dish with shrimp and plantains, so it worked out, but it was still disappointing that I either accidentally picked the wrong restaurant in my search or that the gluten-free options are no longer available.“

“The crab claws are delicious!“

“A very cool, hip & chic place.“

“buenísimo todo, excelente.“

“Good food, good service 🌸“

“DJ was awesome and drinks were on point“

“Hi I love it so much thanks“

“Yesterday I was in for brunch. The food has always been amazing and Angela is a top tier bartender. I’ve been back several times for the food and friendly staff. The atmosphere was disrupted yesterday by the manager who cornered a young employee and literally cursed him in front of guests and other employees. It was so unprofessional and uncomfortable and disrespectful. Otherwise, again, the food is great and the servers staff are really friendly.

Just don’t like bullies.“

“Michelle is very nice and very fast.“

“My girlfriend and I had an amazing time, The bartender Victor was dope and the drinks were the best I've ever had definitely worth the price...it's like a omakase bar except your choosing what you want that and the combination of the smell of food coming from downstairs makes you feel like your somewhere else“

“French Apple. Pomme de terrre“

“The Carousel Club is a fun and beautiful way of enjoying the race track with friends and family.

The decor is so inviting with pink, purple, white, and turquoise flowers. The green space is dotted with tables and umbrellas. The massive tent offers the most relaxing and refreshing experience even on a Florida summer day.

Our server, Esther, was very attentive and helpful. Pascal, the manager made certain that our group had the best time and even brought out a special surprise for my son’s birthday.

Between the food, drinks, “Big Ass” fans, music, happy ambience, wonderful staff, variety of areas to watch the races, and the beautiful surroundings, our group thoroughly enjoyed the event.

I would definitely recommend planning a day or night at the Carousel Club. Very fun, unique, and gorgeous place.“

“We hosted a large party at Osumi in Coral Gables, and it was the perfect spot! The location is great, and the decor is beautiful. The service was fantastic—friendly and attentive to our group. The sushi was delicious, and the cocktails are a must-try! Everyone had a great time. Highly recommend for any gathering!“

“We had a fantastic experience at rum room. Vanessa was our server and she was beyond amazing with sharing her favorites- which we ordered- and they did not disappoint. The atmosphere was so beautiful, live music and great drinks. Everyone needs to try here- would will not be disappointed!!“

“We found this place walking around and Agata was our server. She is so friendly and nice person, she was the reason we stayed more and ordered more drinks and definitely we will come back just to get amazing service from her. Nice music and atmosphere from this place ?“

“Everything about this restaurant was great the food ,the place is clean , the staff was very nice specifically Veronica. she was awesome , cordial and very professional ,I highly recomend this place, I am definitely going back and again ???“

“I had heard about this hot restaurant from New York that I must try, but was reticent to do so because Carbone was the name of a character from Goodfellas that Robert Deniro's Jimmy Conway whacked when tying up loose ends after the Lufthansa job! Poor sap was hanging frozen in a meat locker. I'm glad I put that imagery aside because this place was amazing! Platitudes like wonderful ambience, fine service, flavorful food, great family style dining, are all applicable but just don't capture the full spirit of the evening. From the pickled cauliflower, to the signature spicy rigatoni ala vodka (which pairs nicely with their pinot noir offering Presqu'ile), to the Caesar salad (you must have those croutons!), and their delicious Italian petit-fours, everything burst with flavor and was resplendent of the authenticity of old Venice. And since you will be spending more than a few pennies here, one must luxuriate in the mid century environs replete with Murano glass chandeliers while being serenaded with a sound track of Italian crooners like Mel Torme and Frank Sinatra in the full bela canta tradition. If you have a special occasion, Carbones Miami Beach will make for a memorable evening.“

“Classy! Great food, drinks and music.“

“very nice cozy place. food is good, great drinks.“

“Katarina was an awesome server!!“

“"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 !!!!"“

“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“

“Excelente comida y rápido. Servicio excepcional por Michael!!!“

“We had dinner on the evening of December 24, great experience!
Very kind staff. Delicious food and generous portions (especially the Cuban dishes). Very good cocktails (the mojito was excellent!). All for a very reasonable price in Miami Beach. It’s a place that we recommend without hesitation!“

“Best food I’ve had since moving to Miami. Also the best atmosphere. I went there with my wife and best friend. I felt like I was also in a safe space (lgbtq friendly fo sho)

Drea was the absolute best. Her energy is next level! Mike our bartender was nothing but smiles and rad recommendations. All the food we had was FIRE. The chicken sandwich I will be coming back for. I work at a hotel and I will definitely be sending people here.“

“La Cañita is an awesome family oriented fun restaurant with the exciting ambiance of an European Club Not only the food ….

“Absolutely delicious. Tried the chefs tasting menu and it was an amazing culinary experience. Best polenta I have ever had, and dbranding was perfection. Cheers to amazing food provided with exceptional service with Sean. Seriously you can’t go wrong. What are you waiting for? Go eat!! Buon appetito!“

“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.“

“During the week I guess Happy hour is outside only (inside opens at 8) the mosquitos, bugs, and humidity was just a no. Overall the food and drinks were amazing. Baja tacos, calamari, and guac w / steak 10/10! Lychee, blueberry, and passion love martini absolutely delicious! Service was subpar not very attentive. Always had to call over the bartender (it was only 2 of us bar) overall I'd recommend but advise accordingly“

“Great music drinks and atmosphere“

“This place was a hidden gem and SO amazing. Inside of a hotel on miami beach and it was cozy and quaint. But what made the experience so amazing was the bartender with the fresh kicks on. We kinda had the place to ourselves and like I said, was a hidden gem. But even if there were more patrons she still wouldve made it so enjoyable. Very personable, made fantastic drinks, and the atmosphere is very miami chic. Will definitely be back indeed.“

“Nice atmosphere and delicious drinks“

“The service was great and the food was delicious!“
