“buenísimo todo, excelente.“

“The food here is absolutely amazing!! Loved how fresh it was. You can taste the love they put into it. Tons of gluten free options!“

“Great service! Clemente was great!“

“Very friendly staff and good atmosphere! We had the Cuban sandwich and avacado toast and some cold draft peroni beers! They were very accommodating to our needs and sat us away from a nice family with kids so we could have private adult conversation without disturbing them! ( it can be noisy on the beachfront cafes so you have to talk a bit louder!) overall very nice place!“

“Awful. Rude staff, poor service, overpriced and pretty sure they discriminate racially. Nice views and design does not make up for it.“

“We had a great time at Abbale Televivian Kitchen. From our entertaining server Ash to the delicious food we couldn't have asked for a better night.“

“I like this place a lot. The food is served impeccably. Large menu of authentic Turkish food. Reasonable prices and the most important very nice owners (Tuba’s brother). The tea they serve is black tea from Sri Lanka (it has some bergamot hint ). Its a true killer. I highly recommend them.“

“Good food and great setting!!“

“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.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. I always bring my friends here because we always get the best service and the most delicious food. And their desserts are my absolute favorite“

“muy lindo el restaurante, la educación de las camareras y la comida espectacular 👌 recomendado 100% la música de la artista Li-C de lo mejor.❤️❤️❤️ muchos éxitos 🙌 💪🏻“

“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!!“

“The service at this place is fantastic. I discovered it after a Pilates class, and I was blown away by the amazing food and service. As a fine-dining waitress in Miami, I know that South Beach is often filled with tourist traps, but this restaurant is not one of them. Both the food and service are impeccable, and the prices are well below the area's average. I highly recommend it—10 out of 10. It truly is a gem.“

“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!“

“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.“

“"I had incredibly delicious dishes that perfectly suited my taste. The owner of the restaurant is very friendly, and the waitstaff took great care of us during our time here. I claim this is the best restaurant, and I absolutely recommend it."

“I was very impressed, especially by the portions for the price! The Gyro Platter ($16.00) was great, loaded with fresh salad, lovely yellow rice, and loads of meat! The roasted whole chile pepper was a very nice touch and brought the heat! The hot sauce it came with was on the salty side, not inedible, but if you're sensitive to sodium, I would skip it. Quick, simple, and quality 👌 I'll be returning.“

“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“

“This has been one of the best Miami Spice menus around town. Everything was delicious from our two appetizers to the perfectly cooked steak and delicious rice. Our server Chris was also excellent. I highly recommend it you will not be disappointed. The value is excellent. The only complaint I have is that they charge you $3 p/p for tap water. Never experienced that before since water is regularly free. But other than that it’s a fantastic restaurant“

“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“

“Prices are good too. It's a restaurant you can go to for the view in a second swipe“

“Great customer service and bartender, bartender Maria!“

“20/10 - Amazing! No notes!
The food was remarkable! Service was phenomenal. I will always come back and eat here.
If you like a fresh herby falafel order it for sure. The brunch menu offered many options. Loved the coffee!
The vibes were vibing! Sunday mornings are nice and quiet. Prompt service!
If you love Mediterranean food don’t question it just do it!“

“Kalypso Beach felt like a hidden gem in Miami Beach with a beautiful oceanfront setting, delicious Mediterranean-inspired dishes, and excellent service. The vibrant atmosphere and refreshing cocktails make it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal by the pool. Highly recommended for both locals and visitors!“

“My gf was visiting from New York and we were looking for a Mediterranean restaurant and we stumbled upon this place! This place is going to be the most popular spot in the future! Be prepared to be transported to the Mediterranean Gods of taste! Thank you so much for such a great option to the Ocean Blvd trashy food!“

“Along with Great hospitality comes the greatest food you could ever possibly imagine in your deepest and darkest of dreams. This food is not just life-changing. It will bring peace amongst the entire Mediterranean philosophy. We shall continue to support Zelda’s kitchen through war and peace, and continued love through our own journey, we considered life.“

“Dad loves the schawarma. Different textures with a little heat. Definitely recommend.“

“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“

“We had the most amazing meal there. The staff were attentive and knew the menu - gave us suggestions of what to order . The bar tender made a wonderful sangria which to me was a plus. The food was prepared to perfection and beautifully plated. I would highly recommend this great find!“

“Awesome place, love the meat. Is a family atmosphere.“

“I was there two weeks ago Excellent service and food!! Five stars“

“Alvyn, our server IS the best. !!! Wonderful suggestions topped with fabulous service. The food is as good as the service.“

“I recently eat from Rice Mediterranean Kitchen on Alton Road, and it was a fantastic choice! The food was fresh, full of flavor, and perfectly packed for takeout.

A special shoutout to Natalia for her exceptional service! She was super friendly and helpful, making the whole ordering process a breeze.

If you’re looking for delicious Mediterranean flavors to go, Rice Mediterranean Kitchen is definitely worth a visit!“

“The food at OVO was amazing! Our waiter, Ivan, gave us excellent recommendations and made the whole experience even better. You have to try the short ribs dumplings—they were incredible!

And for dessert, the pistachio ice cream was delicious; creamy, rich, and full of flavor.
Great service, great ambiance, and truly outstanding food. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“This was our first time here, the atmosphere and ambience was spectacular. We had the pizza and it’s definitely one of the best in Miami. Anise was out waitresses ans she was very kind & provided great service. We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Great experience and delicious food World class service“

“This is a lovely authentic Italian restaurant. They welcomed us with big smiles. The food and service were great. We had a wonderful overall experience. We truly like our waiter Francesco very much. He was very attentive and kind. Husband and wife from Sarasota, FL“

“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!“

“Very fun restaurant with beautiful Turkish Tiffany lamps as decor. On weekends they have a very lovely singer who sings in 7-10 different languages to your requests! Service is wonderful. All the waitresses are pretty and sweet Abandon parking and easy cozy atmosphere! You can’t go wrong!“
