“Made a reservation for my family to celebrate my graduation for nursing school. The staff was very friendly and accommodating after having some phone issues when I was initially trying to book. I had my three-year-old daughter with me and another three-year-old in the family there as well, they brought out pizza dough for them to play with Which truly made it a memorable and fun experience. Thank you so much!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit at Miami Airport!

Had a long layover at the Miami Airport and decided to stop by Corona Beach House and wow, what a great choice! We ordered the chorizo queso and chicken sandwiches, and both were incredible. The chorizo queso, in particular, was hands-down the best I’ve ever had in my life… so good that we actually ordered another one to go and packed it in our backpack for the flight!

A huge shout-out to Joanna, our amazing server, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. She even checked on our flight time to ensure we wouldn’t miss our connection. Her kindness and attention to detail truly made our experience exceptional.

If you ever find yourself traveling through Miami International Airport, Corona Beach House is an absolute must-stop. They even have an express area designed to accommodate travelers on the go. Don’t miss it — and be sure to ask for Joanna!“

“The Thousand Sunny in Pinecrest is an absolute gem. It's truly an amazing spot that perfectly blends incredible food with an atmosphere any anime fan will fall in love with. From the moment you walk in, the One Piece themed decor immediately sets the tone. It’s colorful, detailed, and packed with fun references that make you feel like you’ve stepped right onto the Going Merry. The food here is just as impressive as the ambiance. Every dish we tried was delicious, beautifully presented, and reasonably priced; a rare combination these days. The hot pot dishes were definite standouts. On top of that, the staff was genuinely kind and welcoming, adding to the warm, friendly energy of the place. Whether you’re an anime fan or just someone looking for great food and good vibes, The Thousand Sunny is absolutely worth checking out.“

“Intimate and designed around the bar, the gathering water hole, where the staff are friendly and fun. Look out for Cricket.“

“Stopped in for a surprise happy hour as I was walking down the strip. When the bites came out, I was extremely pleasantly surprised. Those small each, and every piece was so quality and had layers to flavor. The short man behind the bar was absolutely pleasant Ant and made jokes with us and welcomed us from the moment we walked in. All service members were pleasant. Atmosphere is calming yet lively and fun.“

“The quality of food is high, for that I recommend it. The reason I wouldn’t go back is that the staff just did not care we were there at all. Still waiting for them to ask how everything is… we came through last year and had a totally different experience staff was super friendly and engaged even though the place was packed. We caught them at turnover and they couldn’t care less. We talked about hitting craft as a high point for our one night in Miami before cruising… and now we won’t bother going back to Bayside.“

“The experience was amazing, our server was awesome. The food was delicious. The only thing I would recommend is that they should not allow toddlers and children at the bar. I don't think that is appropriate at all. Not only for the children but also for the adults that are there to enjoy an adult experience. Otherwise, overall a wonderful restaurant.“

“Had a great experience. Croissants were amazing and after we finished, our waitress came up to us and gave us 5 different pastries to take home for free!!!! Thank you.“

“Great place for couples!. A great choice for a first date. The food was served buffet style, and the service was excellent. They have a dance floor and a bar area with many intimate dining tables for couples. And if you are feeling romantic, Just 2 blocks away you will find the Executive Airport Hotel with sexy and romantic suites!“

“Really good service by Biannel & Yurisan! Definitely coming back! Great and service and food all around :)“

“My best Sport grill , good food, excellent attention“

“We've been eating at this restaurant for over 10 years I want to say and we've never had an issue with the food quality, except this past time. Our salmon tacos tasted a little bit frozen and came out to burnt. This is all just constructive because we love this restaurant, so much. “

“This was my first visit and the food was very good. We had reservations so there wasn’t a wait. I had the chicken and waffles and the portion was so much that I couldn’t eat it all. Would definitely eat there again.“

“We came to Earls Kitchen + Bar to celebrate Jessica's birthday, and the entire staff made it such a special night. They all signed a birthday card for her, and our server Jess went above and beyond; she took group photos for us, gave great recommendations, and even joined in when they sang Happy Birthday. The service was exceptional from start to finish. The food was delicious, the drinks were truly craft, and the overall vibe made it a perfect celebration. Highly recommend!“

“Servers all said they knew nothing about the Thursday 1/2 rack of ribs special that they said it isn't offered anymore. Well flipping through the adds attached to the table flip add list, we showed it and she said she would have to speak to her manager. She returned saying they can honor it. People don't all know to flip through that and just get handed a regular menu with no extra attachment or notification. Open to all customers!!“

We started with the burrata, steak tartare, and yellowfin tuna appetizers, all incredible. For dinner we tried the short ribs, carbonara, chicken, butternut squash ravioli, and the smash burgers — every dish was spot-on. And for dessert, the dirt cup and pumpkin tres leches were unbelievable. Everything was delicious, and we would definitely go back!“

“Vacationing with some friends and had just flown in staying in the area. Went out looking for a nice place to get some good food and drinks when found this gem! Amazing atmosphere with wonderful friendly staff! 100% recommend!“

“Man, what a find! I was driving around after a brutal early morning of Amazon deliveries (you know how it is!), and I was seriously craving some good grits. I actually Googled "grits near me," which is how I stumbled upon this place. I'd seen a review that mentioned "classic diner vibes," and that totally sold me. Walking in, it was like stepping into a different world although it's a bit dated, everyone was so friendly – not just the staff, but the other customers too! I got a bunch of "good mornings" from complete strangers, which was honestly so refreshing. It felt like a real community, a family kind of atmosphere. My server was a total sweetheart. She knew the menu like the back of her hand and was super helpful in guiding me to the perfect breakfast. I ordered the Chuckwagon with eggs over medium, pan sausage, home fries and a side of cheese grits. My server even pointed out a way I could save a few bucks, which I really appreciated. It's awesome when servers are that considerate. The food came out fast and was exactly what I was hoping for – hot, fresh, and cooked perfectly. I got over-medium eggs and grits, and when I poured the grits over my eggs, my server gave me a knowing look and said, "Now that's how you do it – the classic Southern way!" That just made my day. It brought back all these memories of having breakfast with my grandparents – those classic diner breakfasts that just feel like home. It was a real nostalgia trip. Seriously, the whole experience was just what I needed – good food, good people, and a great atmosphere. It just felt… good. I did notice the prices were a little higher than what I saw in some older menu pics online, but honestly, with everything going on these days, it's not surprising. Even with the slightly higher prices, I absolutely loved this place. I'm definitely going back soon. It's the perfect spot for a comforting, classic breakfast that just hits the spot.“

“We went to seasons 52 as a group of three friends who regularly lunch on a monthly basis. The hostess, Ellen was so hospitable and welcoming, and led us to a wonderful and comfortable seating area and ensured that we were attended to quickly. Our server, whose name I now don't recall was attentive throughout and provided excellent service.“

“We were looking for a nice place to have good food and nice ambience- we found that at Cheddars Scratch Kitchen🤗. So the food: hot when it arrived at the table - that’s a good sign because. It wasn’t sitting And getting cold / the portions were nice and the descriptions on the menu were accurate. The drinks are “Full- Size” and not just high - fructose syrup —- oh and nicely priced 🤗. Love the ambience - atmosphere - very comfortable. We’ve been looking for a nice place in Kendall to get good food / drinks and we have found it ‼️“
