“The food is out of this world. Amazing service, super friendly staff, great location, great wine menu. Fair prices as well. I highly recommend the tuna sushi bomb, the tradicional ceviche, and the black cod with misso and quinoa.”
“Fidel did a great job. Genuine hospitality , great service , sense of urgency ..Great experience . BTW Hostess día great job too , smiling , great reception , taking care … Great team ! . Thank you Fidel !”
“We made a reservation for our Anniversary (24-02-18) after looking at some online reviews in the area we were staying in Miami. SO happy we chose here to celebrate our anniversary! The atmosphere was very inviting, busy yet flowing with a full dining room. Our waiter Andreu was very welcoming asking us if we were there for a special occasion. With our anniversary he provided us each with a glass of champagne! He explained the dinner specials and even brought us a taste of one of the appetizers called Fiocchi Rapers – filled pasta with cheese and pear, with crispy prosciutto and creamy truffle sauce. So delicious! We decided on 2 entrees, the Lasagna Bolognese, and the Crab Ravioli. Absolutely, hands down, some of the best pasta dishes we’ve ever eaten!”
“Wow!! I cant explain how good this restaurant is!!! An incredible experience. We absolutely loved it. Arturo the best server ever. We had an amazing time. Also, the drinks are unbelievable!!!!!!!”
“One of the best restaurant experiences and some of the best food I’ve had in Miami anywhere. Servers were super knowledgeable and the food seemed well thought out and intentional. Pasta and appetizers were excellent, but dessert was not as exciting. Would definitely recommend!”

“I was expecting more food wise, the food is okay, good but is not a place I would go a second time. My recommendation; the bisque, the fried chicken, the chocolate pecan pie, and the crab, we got the meal. The paella was a big a huge disappointment. The staff was very friendly.”
“Congratulations on the experience! Great restaurant with unbeatable food… the catch of the day was wonderful and Marco's attention was spectacular!!! Recommended!!”

“I love everything about this place; great menu, delicious sandwiches; very friendly staff and high quality customer service, great vibe and happy customers, and of course fair prices.We came here for a late night snack and I’m really happy that they’re open till after midnight. You can do modifications to the menu or even build your own sandwich. We ordered “Sobe Club”, but replaced turkey with ham, and “Tropical Sandwich”. They both tasted amazing and we were so full after that we couldn’t try any of their smoothies/beverages.”
“Yes! So happy I found this place in the heart of tourist trap town. Cocktails are delicious. I had the Bourbon coffee drink ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Food was tasty too”
“Too top!From the attention, the prices (taking advantage of the happy hours), and the flavor, it is totally worth it.We went on a Saturday, there were people but it was not 100% full, we ordered the happy hour strawberry margarita and pina colada (both were good but the strawberry margarita was better)Additionally, to eat some guacamole chips and some chicken fingers.The attention was quite fast and friendly.The only thing that could improve is that part of a hotel the bathroom is a little far away (but it was super clean and tidy)Anyway I will return”

“Visiting from L.A. Diego the host, waiter was great. Food was delicious without the salsa, but green and red were home made and made tacos and burritos extra delicious. Tamarindo Spicy Mezcal Margarita was good too. Good Vibes. Outdoor seating in April, some of the best weather. Recommend over other busy and loud Mexican spots on Ocean front with no gimmicks.”
“Martin was absolutely fantastic. Incredibly attentive, kind, fast, and helpful. Had a perfect dinner here, and got to hear a mariachi band that was next level. Voices and trumpet playing that was out of this world. I HIGHLY recommend this for dinner in Miami- it lives up to the reviews and the service is fantastic. Only had 2 days here and we couldn’t be happier- it pays to do your research!”

“This restaurant was so good, it’s just slightly removed from the crowded tourist area at Espanola way so the atmosphere is great. It’s not touristy at all. The food was so good, I would recommend the paella with duck. The drinks were phenomenal, I had the cava and the white cava Sangria. 10/10 would recommend for anyone visiting Miami.”
“Nice atmosphere m, staff was great, and food was delicious. The mimosa was as big as my head.. lol However, it was $19. I wish there would have been a smaller size option as I have a very small stomach due to weight loss surgery. With the $19 mimosa I also got a coffee, eggs with cheese and bacon with a bagel to go for my friend. With tip the bill was $60. Now I realize I’m in South Beach, but I think that is a little excessive for breakfast. Lunch and dinner I understand.”
“What an amazing experience! Ludovica, our beautiful and attentive waitress was just the cherry on a beautiful evening! Great food, yummy passion fruit sangria and out of this world, top notch service… from the hostess to the manager to our excellent waitress… a gem in Miami Beach! Will be back… over and over again!”
“Absolutely wonderful! I'm trying to convince my husband to go back tonight, our last night in Miami. There is nothing I didn't love about this restaurant. The atmosphere was like being in my Nana's home. Sure, it's tight on space, but so was Nana's kitchen. And it was packed on a Monday night, a generally slow night for restaurants. Our server, Tomas was a pleasure to work with. Attentive, but not bothersome. He offered suggestions without pressure that we felt at another Italian restaurant nearby. We shared an excellent Caesar salad with anchovies to start. So good! Next, I ordered the Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese, which was heavenly. My husband had Pappardelle Al Ragú Di Agnello, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I didn't get to taste it because I wouldn't share mine. Fair is fair, I suppose. Tomas paired our meal with a wonderful Primitivo Puglia that was perfect. Then he suggested dessert, and although I was stuffed, we shared a cannoli. It was delicious also, but I really didn't need it. The surprise limoncello, on the house, was a perfect ending to a perfect meal! An aside? Watching the pasta being made in the front window was a bonus. I learned some things I'll use at home!”
“This delightful beachside panino shop quickly became our favorite spot in Miami and our #1 recommendation for friends and family visiting - already miss it! The freshness and quality of the ingredients is only rivaled by the owners, who are incredibly friendly and cool and know how to make a place feel like home. Hands down Botta serves the best food around, especially the panini; coming from two discerning Italians with deep culinary roots and keen appetites that's saying a lot! ?”
“Magela was wonderful! She recommended the best dishes of the house and they exceeded our expectations! 100% recommend to anyone looking for great food, great environment, and great people!”
“My dinner was cut short due to food poisoning from my prior night’s meal in Little Havana, but I had to leave a generous review because of the kindness and professionalism of the entire staff at Mareva1939. Our server took the time to explain recommendations and confirm any cheese preferences since we ordered a cheeseboard and a salad with cheese. Unfortunately, I had an accident and had to leave because I couldn’t even keep water down. I was mortified. But they made me feel human and invited me to come back when I feel better. Although my trip to Miami is over, we enjoyed the leftovers and I will return. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food, in a calm, respectful, and beautiful atmosphere. Thank you, Mareva1939, for your incredible display of humanity on Thursday night, (March 16th)! I won’t forget it.”

“Tespi had absolutely amazing service. He gave us a warm welcome, excellent recommendations and was extremely inviting. His customer service was top tier and we will absolutely be back to Gabriel south beach! This made our visit that much more exquisite!”

“Great experience! First time in Miami Beach and this place had a great location, great food (salmon and chicken parm was awesome), and a totally awesome happy hour! Our waiter Ismael made sure we had everything we needed! Ask for Ismael and enjoy a great atmosphere and food!”
“Got Fritura Mixta and Churrasco, very delicious, specially Fritura Mixta, they were so good that we had 3 orders. Our server is Santiago and he’s great, have good recommendations. Highly recommend, be sure to ask for Santiago. We came back again the next day and requested Santiago as our server, order another Fritura Mixta, Churrasco and ribeye steaks, they were juicy and tender, perfectly cooked. Fritura Mixta thinly sliced would pair perfectly with salad (just a thought).”
“We love visiting here every time we’re in south beach!!! The food and service are amazing! Everyone who works here is super welcoming, friendly and fun to chat with. Must try the Empanadas Cubanos Vieja Ropa and Guacamole Marquitas!”
“We stayed at Hampton Inn for a few days and we were very impressed to have wonderful food place right there. We loved Piola it was very convenient for us and food was delicious. Catalina served us, she was very nice, pleasant and professional. Definitely will be back next time.”
“Tried this place on a whim as it popped up on a Google search. and it had Colombian food. And boy is did not disappoint. The food was excellent and the staff was great. Makes me wish the had a location in Port Orange or Daytona Beach. I could speak this places praises all day long.”
“Beautiful spot on the water & view of Miami. This is such a relaxing place to enjoy a cocktail & catch up with friends at sunset. Our server Daria was lovely, engaging, and very attentive. The food is quite good too - especially loved the short rib and the hummus.”

“I had an awesome experience at Tapelia! The staff treated us very well and I would suggest this restaurant to anyone who comes to South Beach. Rafaela, Laura, and Igor we’re amazing and provided excellent customer service!”

“I just flew in checked in to my hotel and wanted to have something to eat close to my hotel. I was famished. I ordered the angus beef burger and it was by far the best burger I’ve had. It was huge and came with a ton of fries. The service was quick and the gentleman helping us was super friendly.”
“We stopped in for an early dinner after a day of travel and were greeted with the warmest welcome from the staff. Our waitress was very attentive and accommodating. Service was prompt and we enjoyed everything. We ordered the sampler, the grand slamich, chicken fingers and egg breakfast. Great spot for something familiar and great service”
“Make sure to check out this dope Fresh Market locates on 9st and Ocean drive ! It’s literally right across from Mangos !! The cashier Daniel has great customer service skills and is very passionate about his job. He is also very knowledgeable about the city so if you have any questions he will direct you in the right way ! This Fresh Market has a variety of items and it’s seriously a ONE STOP SHOP ! They have reasonable prices but remember you are in SOUTH BEACH !”
“Was a very busy location on a Sunday (24-02-18) at brunch time, had a bit of a wait. Once seated we ordered cinnamon roll crepes and the seniors French toast with a side of shredded hashbrowns. Our waitress Elena came back and said they didn’t have any crepes or French toast. Asked for what I’d like instead, so I ordered a strawberry biscuit, and she told Mike she could see if they could do his French toast on regular bread. Took quite a while but eventually got our meals. Food was good and the waitress was great despite the problems that were beyond her control. We will go back again!”
“the food was precisely what I expected from a Subway sammwisch... nothing less, nothing more.upon unwrapping the 12 inches of absolutely par food, I grasped the #23 Italiano in my eager hands and quickly inserted the soon-to-be-devoured sub into my mouth. it was gone within minutes. I only managed to take one single picture before I wolfed the rest of it down.the staff were friendly. they spoke little English. I ordered just fine using the scraps of Spanish I learned in high school and by pointing at things behind the glass.what a truly human experience: two people, each of a different background and mother-tongue, united in a ballet of communication. two conscious beings collaborating to create one mediocre sandwich... how beautiful.the atmosphere felt hard and artificial. it was lit with bright white lights that cast a cold hue. unwelcoming to the outside passerby, but quickly acclimated to once inside. this was contrasted against the unmistakable Subway-green accents. it is the ideal environment to enjoy a soulless yet perfectly OK sandwich.I wouldn't have it any other way.over-all I left satiated and feeling pleasant. absolutely a 5 stars Subway experience. I'd give it 5.2 or maybe even 5.3 if I could.update: I went back the next day for another sub!!!”
“They work through one place, they barely know English, you have to constantly ask them to put in the missing items that you paid for. / You always gotta ask them for the missing items you actually paid for. And they make such faces like they are doing you a favor.”
“Rosa is the best server. We randomly stopped in to get out of the rain and had the best drinks and actual authentic Cuban salads and appetizers. Fresh and clean. Coming back.”
“Chef Pawan and the unique dishes served at Serevene were AMAZING!! Couldn't recommend this spot enough, definitely a must when in MiamiDietary restrictions: accommodated to gluten allergy”

“First time in this restaurant, we were not disappointed.Angie is exceptional as a waitress, her good humor is infectious!The dishes are careful and well presented.Ordering was quick and prices are average at Ocean Drive.I recommend you go there for breakfast.”
“Every single time I visit my godson I always see this place on the way over. So on Monday we decided to order delivery since we were all craving burgers and we didn't want our usual Shake Shack and WOW THEY'RE AMAZING!If they're this amazing flavor wise for delivery, now I must dine in!We ordered 4 burgers: La Latina with Jalapeño, 2 BM Truffle Deluxe & Cheeseburger with Mushroom and Avocado added to it.If you're the type that eats just a little bit, share with someone! If not, you're in for a heck of a good meal!They're perfectly cooked (which in most places when you order medium or medium rare it normally comes out medium well), flavor itself of everything combined in the burger matches perfectly, buns are homemade and delicious, all in all - they're to die for!They offer so many great choices and each one sounds fantastic. In addition, they sell Mexican Coca Cola; if you've tried Coca Cola in Mexico, you know what I'm talking about!Highly Recommended!————— Update 04.29.24Finally made it to the restaurant and service was top notch! Weather was perfect for dine in; in their outdoor tables. Burgers exceeded my expectations while dining in! Definitely will be coming back! If you don’t want to eat them for outdoor sitting you can always visit their Brickell establishment which they have indoor sitting.Milkshake’s aren’t all that though; I tried the Chocolate one.Vegetarian options: Some itemsParking: It’s Miami Beach; good luck!Kid-friendliness: If your child isn’t a picky eater!”
“The food was great. For dinner we had New York Steak and it was cooked to perfection, $35 for a large portion. For those staying at this hotel (like us) 20% off. The breakfasts are excellent and at a very good price. I recommend.Updating my review.Also we were here for lunch.My son ordered pizza a second time, my husband tried Paella and I enjoyed delicious BBQ Ribs.I love that place so much ?”
“Saw this on tik tok and had to try the birria pizza, and it was soooo good. It is enough for two people.The restaurant is an easy walk from south beach area.Nicole was very nice and welcoming.They mostly do to go orders but you can stand and eat in the restaurant as well.”
“We recently dined at Le Zoo, a French brasserie nestled in the upscale locale of Bal Harbour, near Miami. This area is renowned for its high-end shops, designer boutiques, and a variety of restaurants. It’s not uncommon to spot celebrities and other high-profile figures frequenting the Bal Harbour shops.Over the years, we have had the pleasure of dining at several restaurants in this area. On this occasion, we chose to visit this French-Mediterranean establishment for dinner. We opted to sit on the patio, despite the interior of the restaurant being quite beautiful. The outdoor seating offered a cozy ambiance with views of palm trees.The restaurant boasted a wide selection of oysters and caviars. However, we decided on sauteed foie gras, and onion soup gratinee for our appetizers. The foie gras, although small in portion, was delectable, especially when paired with marmalade. The french onion soup was also superb.For our main course, we ordered steak frites, grilled salmon, duck l’orange, and butter noodles for our grandson. The butter noodles, which were essentially spaghetti, were served in a small portion and were quite buttery, which our grandson did not particularly enjoy. The orange duck, on the other hand, was quite flavorful. The steak frites and grilled salmon with citrus tabbouleh were also very tasty.For dessert, we indulged in vanilla bean creme brulee and profiteroles with ice cream. As someone who is well-acquainted with the authentic taste of creme brulee, I must say, this creme brulee was genuinely true to its original flavor. Profiteroles were also delightful, but they were a bit heavy for me.Another noteworthy aspect of our dining experience was the availability of mosquito repellent upon request. This thoughtful gesture significantly contributed to our overall satisfaction as customers.Parking: There is standard valet parking available for $10; and as an alternative, there is a ‘luxury’ valet parking option priced at $30. The luxury service includes parking your car in a lot right in front of you.”
“For starters, this restaurant is legendary and still going strong for almost 40 years...and, once again, the service by our absolutely favorite server, Shanti, is unrivaled. Yes, she knows the menu! Yes she's a great server! Yes, she's efficient. Most of all, Shanti is a gem of a human being. She exudes everything one would expect from a family outing. Making everyone around her happy and comfortable. Of course, the food is sensational, as always. Thank you Shanti again for making our evening memorable. Lilly and I love you and can't wait to see you again. Great meal! Best server ever!”
“We ordered the catch of the day tacos, fantastic! 2 crispy fish tacos with pickled purple shredded cabbage! We also got the chopped salad with chicken. This was also wonderful!The dressing was so tasty!The corn chips were fresh and salsa had great flavor!We also snagged the cheese quesidilla, which we wouldn't get again. No taste but they were very cheesy!”
“FABULOUS!!! We had a very romantic meal sitting up in the veranda. Started with the Burrata and the mussels/clams then shared a Caesar salad, followed with entrees of Linguini with shrimp and Fettuccini Bolognese. Sooo good!!!”
“Great experience! First time in Miami Beach and this place had a great location, great food (salmon and chicken parm was awesome), and a totally awesome happy hour! Our waiter Ismael made sure we had everything we needed! Ask for Ismael and enjoy a great atmosphere and food!”

“I loved this place like everyone else, it has a unique touch to the food in the flavor of the chicken, I went with my two children and they loved the people who were super kind to them, they gave them chocolates, everything was super nice, Mr. Rafael was super friendly but don't believe it everyone is like that ”
“I happened upon this spot by chance and I am glad that I did. The best arepa I've had. The pork was flavorful and juicy, the corn cakes had a satisfying crisp on the outside, the sauce added some zest and the venezuelan cheese, cooked directly on the grill, rounded it all out to perfection. Go and experience food bliss.”
“I first walked in, and the smell of bleach had me. The place was so clean and the staff was so nice. Once the food came, I was stunned by the presentation, the portion size was great, and then blown away from how good the food was. Everything was so good that I came again today. So this review is based on a 2 day experience.”
“We ordered 3 large pizzas, 24 wings and a Stromboli and everything was delicious! Don’t let the fact that the restaurant is located in the basement of the Ramada turn you off (it is not the only business located downstairs). They have really good food and the owner is super nice!”
“So I’m a local and I’ve been coming to this chicken kitchen since 2000 when it was on the corner of the block. They run a tight ship at this location. The food is always fresh. The people are always so friendly and the service is always great! Especially a gentleman by the name of Jaimen he always makes me laugh and brightens my day. I love this chicken kitchen. The corner window is my spot though. ????”
“Very practical for eating at a very low price on Miami Beach with children. We finish with a chocolate shake for 4 dollars loved by the children and just perfect given the prices charged here. There is a very nice little terrace. But it remains a burger king, you like it or not and everyone depends on their budget.”
“We found this location to be a clean and inviting place to have lunch. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food is like most any other Burger King. My wife really likes the Chicken Wrap, and I like the Whopper Combo. A criticism of BK in general, not this location; I yearn for the old days when burgers were hot off the broiler instead of luke warm from a bin. All in all, a good place for an affordable meal in South Beach; some other reviews are too harsh imho.”
“This BK at 910 41st Miami Beach is DaBest BK on the Beach I live 4 blocks from another BK the BK on 41st is 20 blocks away so if I'm going to BK it's this one the employee's are friendly and helpful nice to everyone they are very busy at this location and the food that they prepare is always fresh you can taste the difference I recommend you go try this BK great location parking available drive thru worth the tripParking: Yes there is parking Free!Kid-friendliness: There no play room like for kids but when I take my daughter there they are always niceWheelchair accessibility: Yes wheel chair ramp in front and thru the back the parking lot is level to the back entrance”
“A true Italian experience!Me and wife were a bit skeptical at first, but then we decided to give it a shot, and was totally worth it.Martina really made us feel at home! And as suggested by the name, pasta is a must have. Highly recommended!”

“Faux-makase! (Fake omakase) is exactly what it is. Self proclaimed “non traditional omakase.” Also know as slow-makase. Nossa deserves a noose-a. I was recommended this restaurant by my hotel concierge. Had a horrible experience here. Should have known since they require pre-payment online via tock which actually codes as professional services and not a restaurant so they avoid the credit card fees. By the way, they will ask you to pay a ridiculous and mandatory 20% service charge plus tax after your “meal.” After payment, you will receive an email which says “The day of your reservation you will receive an email with instructions to access to the speakeasy bar.” However, I never received any email. I put nossa into google and it took me to the filthy, run down Hyatt centric hotel. I went inside and asked where the restaurant was and they took me through a stinky alley next to the hotel trash room said to knock the door. This made me extremely uncomfortable and almost decided to just leave. Little did I know the horror I was about to experience. I knocked the door and a lady asked for the password so I gave my last name on the reservation. She didn’t open and kept asking for a password. I demanded she open the door and gave my last name on the reservation. She said I should have received instructions on a paper from another restaurant on the other side of the street which I was not informed of. She said I was late and that they already started so she showed me to my seat. The room felt like a sewer with too many people crammed around a dirty scratched up bar. I was in group 11 which means there were at least 20 guests there. The music was horrendous and unbearable. The ambiance was very creepy. The staff smelled really bad. I was offered a welcome drink which I opted for a sparking water which was not sparking at all as it was flat without bubbles so they brought me a bottle instead. They didn’t ask about any allergies and handed me the first course which I had to spit out because it contained alcohol which I don’t drink. The chef kept inaudibly shouting out the descriptions of the dishes for each course towards different corners of the room in an attempt for everyone to hear but you only hear and understand the words which were said in your direction. All the ingredients were old and not fresh. The food did not taste good. The portions were tiny so don’t think you’ll be full when you leave here by any means. The place is extremely unsanitary. The chef even wipes your plates using the same towel as the previous groups one after another. I was absolutely disgusted. Finally the last course came and again I was served alcohol without being told what it was. Luckily the chef caught it before I could drink it and replaced it with iced tea. I asked if we’re were finished and she said yes. The experience was a complete waste of time so we were happy to walk out and leave. The lady chased us on our way out and said there was an additional payment to be made for gratuity and tax. I asked if this was mandatory and she answered yes. Mind you this was never communicated before. She also said she didn’t have a wireless credit card machine so I gave her my physical card to go swipe and come back. The chef came out, handed me my receipt and credit card then asked: “Is there a reason why you’re unhappy.” I answered: Yes, I didn’t enjoy the experience. He shrugged his shoulders and replied: “I’m sorry but unfortunately not everybody does, I guess” I was shocked and just stormed out. Exit left next to the trash room, literally.”
“My dining experience at MILA Omakase was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with an atmosphere of refinement and sophistication. The evening kicked off with beautifully crafted and delicious cocktails that set the tone for what was to come. The highlight of the night was undoubtedly watching the highly skilled team of chefs work their magic right before our eyes. Each dish they created was a masterpiece, both visually stunning and bursting with unique and delightful flavors. It was a true privilege to witness their artistry firsthand. As someone who has dined at some of the best restaurants around, I can confidently say that the experience at MILA Omakase rivaled, if not surpassed, them all. The nigiri, in particular, was a standout, easily the best I've ever had. While it's true that MILA Omakase is not inexpensive, the exclusive setting and impeccable dining experience more than justified the price. It's a place where every detail is carefully curated to provide guests with an unforgettable culinary journey. If you're looking for a truly exceptional dining experience, look no further than MILA Omakase.”
“I went to Silan and their food was really good, the coconut dessert I ordered, was so smooth and delicious especially with the mango puree on top.The manager and staff were cheerful and the waitress was patient and never hovered but was there when you needed.I would definitely go back the next time I go away on vacation.”
“One of the best meals we've enjoyed! Our server Olgica Z was amazing, really appreciated her great hospitality.Really nice ambiance and we loved the following:Japanese Smoked Old FashionedSmoke & SparksSingapore-Style Chili Crab - so deliciousGrilled EggplantOverall great hospitality from Cristian and his team. Highly recommend and will go back soon!”
“We found this place, and we are so glad we did. The service was friendly and professional. Our waiter was very good at recommending dishes and helping with any questions we had regarding the menu. The starters, mains, and dessert were all delicious and beautifully presented.”
“We could not get a Friday or Saturday, so we settled for a Sunday reservation. That might have been the best choice we made. I say this because you can enjoy the beauty and luxury without being too pretentious. From the valet to the two front door concierges, everyone was pleasant. Upon arriving at the hostess desk, we were met by Marilyn and two other women who were also very pleasant. No waiting; we were escorted right to our table. And the place is beautiful, maybe more than anything else on the beach. Antoine, our server, was great and very attentive. He also had a partner clearing tables and filling water glasses. I must say you didn't need to look for anything or anyone. The food was amazing, from my wife's scallops to my 16-oz boneless ribeye. We look forward to getting reservations on a Saturday and inviting a few friends so they can experience this amazing place.”
“Clarine was our server, she was awesome!I loved the dishes! The items that stood out most and are still on my mind is the Pollo Picante, the King Oyster Mushroom Tostadas, and the Tiger roll.The drinks were awesome as well, good potency! I asked Clarine what are some popular cocktails according to what she has seen her guests select. She pointed to the Sawayaka. It was delicious and fit for edging off a hard day at work.The one thing I was unaware of is that the venue has an entertainer, the lady who danced with fire, and the DJ. They both were great and complemented each other in perfect synchronization. Thank you!”

“We wife was drugged here by one of the bartenders a few years ago. It was a slow night and she was on a barstool between myself and one of my closest friends who would had no need, interest or means of something like that.On our cab ride home, my wife starting seeing flashes and bright lights, telling me it was snowing in the cab. It was bizarre. She had never taken drugs, and looking back, we both agreed it had to be the bartender who was a female, seemed very interested in her, and was pouring her free drinks.In any case, this was many years ago at this point. It's a dive bar, what do you expect?”
“im a picky eater, i tried the chicken wrap (took out the pickles and coleslaw) and its so good! The chicken is really well marinated and juicy. The fries in the wrap are nice and crispy. Also, the inside is very clean and aesthetically pleasing. I would definitely recommend coming here! Also the employees immediately welcomed me in and asked me now how I was!”
“Having a halal dietary requirement this place was perfect since the entire menu is vegan. I ordered the vegetable dumplings and the truffle rice.. The dumplings were top notch- they were steamed to perfection and the bottom was crispy and that chilli oil… speechless. My favourite has to be the Brussels sprouts- they're saucy yet crispy 10/10.The staff were very friendly shoutout to Luke. Definitely will be coming back when I return to New York.”
“Really amazing pizza with great daily deals makes it hard to justify NOT going to Pummarola! Very friendly and welcoming staff, too. Always willing to accommodate and go the extra mile for their customers.Not too many tourists wander in here, making it a great local spot too not too far from Lincoln Road. Highly recommend!!!”
“The Lifeguard by Edwar Simal Cafe & Restaurant and John, Eddy, & Joseph were amazing!The Lifeguard Cafe is amazing both service & quality of food. I had the Ham & Cheese Omelette(good & hearty), & the Signature Sweet Pancakes, those pancakes were a tiny bit of heaven, complete perfection. My family stumbled upon this unique cafe during our hunt for a brunch spot with good food @ a reasonable price after our 7 day cruise. John greeted us outside while we were checking out their menu, & was happy to make accommodations for all 14 of us. All service was stellar, they even gave us detailed descriptions of some of the menu items we had never had before. Some of us tried the Tropical Bombon espresso drink, delicious! The atmosphere is very welcoming for an art gallery, that doubles as a cafe. You just have to go for yourself, you’ll love it!”
“Great little dive bar! Not short on locals or interesting beach goers. The staff are attentive, the cocktails are decent and the atmosphere is very cozy. The daytime vibe is much different from the night, it's much more bustling at night. This is a great little spot to meet up for a drink with old friends and to make new ones.”

“My dinner was cut short due to food poisoning from my prior night’s meal in Little Havana, but I had to leave a generous review because of the kindness and professionalism of the entire staff at Mareva1939. Our server took the time to explain recommendations and confirm any cheese preferences since we ordered a cheeseboard and a salad with cheese. Unfortunately, I had an accident and had to leave because I couldn’t even keep water down. I was mortified. But they made me feel human and invited me to come back when I feel better. Although my trip to Miami is over, we enjoyed the leftovers and I will return. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food, in a calm, respectful, and beautiful atmosphere. Thank you, Mareva1939, for your incredible display of humanity on Thursday night, (March 16th)! I won’t forget it.”

“Every single time I visit my godson I always see this place on the way over. So on Monday we decided to order delivery since we were all craving burgers and we didn't want our usual Shake Shack and WOW THEY'RE AMAZING!If they're this amazing flavor wise for delivery, now I must dine in!We ordered 4 burgers: La Latina with Jalapeño, 2 BM Truffle Deluxe & Cheeseburger with Mushroom and Avocado added to it.If you're the type that eats just a little bit, share with someone! If not, you're in for a heck of a good meal!They're perfectly cooked (which in most places when you order medium or medium rare it normally comes out medium well), flavor itself of everything combined in the burger matches perfectly, buns are homemade and delicious, all in all - they're to die for!They offer so many great choices and each one sounds fantastic. In addition, they sell Mexican Coca Cola; if you've tried Coca Cola in Mexico, you know what I'm talking about!Highly Recommended!————— Update 04.29.24Finally made it to the restaurant and service was top notch! Weather was perfect for dine in; in their outdoor tables. Burgers exceeded my expectations while dining in! Definitely will be coming back! If you don’t want to eat them for outdoor sitting you can always visit their Brickell establishment which they have indoor sitting.Milkshake’s aren’t all that though; I tried the Chocolate one.Vegetarian options: Some itemsParking: It’s Miami Beach; good luck!Kid-friendliness: If your child isn’t a picky eater!”
“The food was great. For dinner we had New York Steak and it was cooked to perfection, $35 for a large portion. For those staying at this hotel (like us) 20% off. The breakfasts are excellent and at a very good price. I recommend.Updating my review.Also we were here for lunch.My son ordered pizza a second time, my husband tried Paella and I enjoyed delicious BBQ Ribs.I love that place so much ?”
“This delightful beachside panino shop quickly became our favorite spot in Miami and our #1 recommendation for friends and family visiting - already miss it! The freshness and quality of the ingredients is only rivaled by the owners, who are incredibly friendly and cool and know how to make a place feel like home. Hands down Botta serves the best food around, especially the panini; coming from two discerning Italians with deep culinary roots and keen appetites that's saying a lot! ?”

Great food, yummy passion fruit sangria and out of this world, top notch service… from the hostess to the manager to our excellent waitress… a gem in Miami Beach! Will be back… over and over again!”
“This is by far my favorite restaurant in Miami. The staff is incredibly attentive (I dropped my chopsticks and they came with an extra set before I could even pick them up, they held doors open and were so kind). Besides that the food was so yummy, and they made sure to adhere to the restrictions of my gluten free siblings. The ambience is stunning with outside seating and not too much noise. The manager came by to our table and made sure we were enjoying the dinner. Overall incredible experience.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free”

“A small restaurant, with a very good and chill environment inside. Both the host at the entrance and the waitress "Andreina" were so friendly. The food was very yummy and, if you’re thinking about for getting a meal outside, Moshi Moshi has the best prices for you. One of my favorites places in South Beach for getting Japanese food.”
“Really amazing pizza with great daily deals makes it hard to justify NOT going to Pummarola! Very friendly and welcoming staff, too. Always willing to accommodate and go the extra mile for their customers.Not too many tourists wander in here, making it a great local spot too not too far from Lincoln Road. Highly recommend!!!”
“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”

“I had the opportunity to visit this wonderful place located on the emblematic Ocean Dr. Street. My husband and I arrived for something very quiet, without any desire to drink, and we were greeted at the table by a girl with a wonderful smile. Gabi explained the menu to us and why. The restaurant was called Havana 1957, this girl captivated and made the experience unique and special. 100% recommended The Super pineapple mojito and the super special Cuban Combo.”
“We were at a wine event in the convention center. This was a quick walk over and we decided to try it. The food was really good. My gnocchi were spot on and the other 3 diners really enjoyed their meals. The interior is super nice with a clean modern take on art deco interior using soft pinks and white; low key ambiance in the best way. Service was great and I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area.”
“Excellent service and quality of food, spectacular, highlighting Santiago's attention on all the occasions I have visited, attentive and efficient Thank you!!!!”

“Amazing authentic Italian restaurant. They make the pasta in house in front of your eyes. It’s in Lincoln road but I promise it’s not a weird tourist trap! Luigi was the best server. As a Miami local I 10/10 ”
“Good place for a great pizza. Enjoyed being able to make my own pizza on the spot. The guys we great at handling my family and our question as it was our first time.”

“Took a group of 15 to dinner here. We sat outside as the weather was perfect that evening. It took a while to get things going with the server but once we did the overall experience was a good one. For this area the Makes Taco's prices were very reasonable. Most places on south each are over priced. Food was really good! The appetizers were delish. Had the chicharrones and the chips and salsa. The meals around the table looked delish as well. I had birria tacos. They were quite good. Overall great experience. Good food good service and cool vibe.”
“On vacation for the month and have already been here three times, the location on the bay is beautiful, and the host is so welcoming. Our dinners each night were outstanding, wouldn't hesitate to return again and again!!!!”
“Having a halal dietary requirement this place was perfect since the entire menu is vegan. I ordered the vegetable dumplings and the truffle rice.. The dumplings were top notch- they were steamed to perfection and the bottom was crispy and that chilli oil… speechless. My favourite has to be the Brussels sprouts- they're saucy yet crispy 10/10.The staff were very friendly shoutout to Luke. Definitely will be coming back when I return to New York.”
“Im from Indiana on Vacation and decided to check out Taco taco and i gotta say, the food was delicious but the service was even better. Shalina the bar tender was amazing. Great smile, great attitude, overall just great. She made our experience the best. She deserves recognition. When i come back to Miami i will be visiting this location. Thank you”
“Mexican restaurant next to Miami Beach! The atmosphere at the venue was great, and I was completely immersed in the atmosphere of South Beach! The incident during the meal was that there was a problem in the store's kitchen, and the meal had to wait for a long time, so the store gave away a free dessert! This is a rare behavior in North American restaurants. The checkout includes a 20% service charge, but he still asks if you want to tip...”
“The server, Ms. Tina is so professional. We had a great experience and she was great. Excellent service and food was so delicious! Definitely coming back and recommending this place.”
“Faux-makase! (Fake omakase) is exactly what it is. Self proclaimed “non traditional omakase.” Also know as slow-makase. Nossa deserves a noose-a. I was recommended this restaurant by my hotel concierge. Had a horrible experience here. Should have known since they require pre-payment online via tock which actually codes as professional services and not a restaurant so they avoid the credit card fees. By the way, they will ask you to pay a ridiculous and mandatory 20% service charge plus tax after your “meal.” After payment, you will receive an email which says “The day of your reservation you will receive an email with instructions to access to the speakeasy bar.” However, I never received any email. I put nossa into google and it took me to the filthy, run down Hyatt centric hotel. I went inside and asked where the restaurant was and they took me through a stinky alley next to the hotel trash room said to knock the door. This made me extremely uncomfortable and almost decided to just leave. Little did I know the horror I was about to experience. I knocked the door and a lady asked for the password so I gave my last name on the reservation. She didn’t open and kept asking for a password. I demanded she open the door and gave my last name on the reservation. She said I should have received instructions on a paper from another restaurant on the other side of the street which I was not informed of. She said I was late and that they already started so she showed me to my seat. The room felt like a sewer with too many people crammed around a dirty scratched up bar. I was in group 11 which means there were at least 20 guests there. The music was horrendous and unbearable. The ambiance was very creepy. The staff smelled really bad. I was offered a welcome drink which I opted for a sparking water which was not sparking at all as it was flat without bubbles so they brought me a bottle instead. They didn’t ask about any allergies and handed me the first course which I had to spit out because it contained alcohol which I don’t drink. The chef kept inaudibly shouting out the descriptions of the dishes for each course towards different corners of the room in an attempt for everyone to hear but you only hear and understand the words which were said in your direction. All the ingredients were old and not fresh. The food did not taste good. The portions were tiny so don’t think you’ll be full when you leave here by any means. The place is extremely unsanitary. The chef even wipes your plates using the same towel as the previous groups one after another. I was absolutely disgusted. Finally the last course came and again I was served alcohol without being told what it was. Luckily the chef caught it before I could drink it and replaced it with iced tea. I asked if we’re were finished and she said yes. The experience was a complete waste of time so we were happy to walk out and leave. The lady chased us on our way out and said there was an additional payment to be made for gratuity and tax. I asked if this was mandatory and she answered yes. Mind you this was never communicated before. She also said she didn’t have a wireless credit card machine so I gave her my physical card to go swipe and come back. The chef came out, handed me my receipt and credit card then asked: “Is there a reason why you’re unhappy.” I answered: Yes, I didn’t enjoy the experience. He shrugged his shoulders and replied: “I’m sorry but unfortunately not everybody does, I guess” I was shocked and just stormed out. Exit left next to the trash room, literally.”
“I went to Silan and their food was really good, the coconut dessert I ordered, was so smooth and delicious especially with the mango puree on top.The manager and staff were cheerful and the waitress was patient and never hovered but was there when you needed.I would definitely go back the next time I go away on vacation.”
“The staff were great our waiter recommended everything. I ended up getting their burger and it was delicious. As were the fries. And to top it off ice cream dish. Highly recommend this restaurant.”
“I absolutely adore this place! The food and service are absolutely fantastic.Zara, who was at the till today, was incredibly attentive and also Tobi.The staff as a whole were amazing.(Javi)I used to be a regular here, but it had been a while since my last visit due to living near the new downtown spot.One of the staff members (Andy) even noticed and mentioned how long it had been since my last visit.That level of service and care is truly exceptional.Definitely deserving of 5 stars.”
“A MUST try if you are in South Florida. It’s a very simple and comfortable restaurant with the most AMAZING food! Try the Picanha you will not be disappointed!”
“The food was great. What’s in that cornbread? The best cornbread I have ever tasted. Servers were very nice. Kind of provided some hint as to what’s hot on the menu. Definitely will visit again”
“Didn't even know it was there, just happened to walk by and decided to pop in - what an unexpected delight! The food was excellent (the ropa vieja empanadas were meaty and filling), and the happy hour prices are unbeatable. Our server was incredibly friendly, really enjoyed just chatting with him. The decor really captures both modern outside and "Old Florida" inside, with plenty of patio doors, giving it an airy indoor-outdoor flow.Apparently there's live music on Fridays from 5:00/6:00-7:00/8:00, so we'll definitely be back.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide hallways, very even surfaces.”
“Can’t wait to come back! Every meal at this restaurant is worth the price. We came and were able to utilize the Thursday deals for our group. Tried a little of lost things and not a single menu item disappointed. So grateful to have found this place and hope to make it back as soon as possible. Our server Sophia was not only attentive but thoughtful and kind hearted. She was a pivotable part of our experience and dare I say the meal itself was more then just a meal. We left feeling full, healthy and emotionally refreshed. Will be counting down till our next visit!”
“Joanna and Javier the best server and gaucho here. No one paid attention until she came to our table. Excellent customer service the best love her and love Javi also thank you for everything”
“Excellent place!! Highly recommended!! We went 3 times as much as we liked it!! We ate the traditional ceviche, the apaltado salmon, rice with seafood, the mini jelly and others! One richer than the other! Don't hesitate to go eat there! Everyone's attention is excellent, but Felipe's stands out!!”
“My favorite bar on miami beach! Great wine selection, friendly bartenders, and tasty bar snacks! I always recommend water lion when i have friends visiting town.”

“Mila is a hot spot and I can see why. Reservations are a must from what I saw on a busy Saturday night as it took a few minutes even to enter the building and then to be seated.There is upbeat music, dim lighting, and tropical/simple decor that creates a unique vibe that makes Mila stand out.Our server, Guillaume V. was kind and patient explaining the menu for the first timers like myself.I enjoyed a Beach Walk, which is similar to a pins cola and was very tasty and refreshing. For my mains, I ordered a Snow Crab Maki and a Salmon Avocado Maki. Oh my goodness!! My dinner was delicious and my table of 4 left the restaurant raving to our friends about our meal.Lastly, I enjoyed a Japanese Cheesecake for dessert and it was delicious as well. I hear Mila has cool performances, so I will book earlier in the evening my next visit. Service was slightly slow when it came to brining out our drinks. But, it was a great restaurant to celebrate my birthday. Looking forward to returning!!”

“We stopped in for dinner last night during my friends birthday trip. It was around 7pm and not too busy while we were there. We weren’t that hungry so we ordered the Caesar Salad and the Cuban sampler to share. The portions were more than generous and the food was absolutely delicious. I 100% recommend the Cuban Sampler - the pork bites were extremely tender and had tremendous flavor and the yuca fries were also very delicious. The tostones were a little greasy for me but still tasted fine and had good texture. The Caesar salad came on a huge plate and in my opinion was large enough to feed 3-4 people. Laturo our server was excellent and very personable. He joked around with us and was very accommodating to the requests we made. All the other staff were great to and took pictures of us when we requested. My only complaints are minor: the price of cocktails (essentially $20 each for what is basically a rail drink - but it’s a popular restaurant at the beach so I guess that’s pretty normal) and the fact that they add 20% tip without mentioning it (it is printed on the menu and I can understand that, but would have been nice to be told upfront just in case). Even with that small amount of criticism, we bth truly enjoyed the experience, the atmosphere and the the food. 11 out of 10. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting the beach who wants to get a nice well made meal!”
“They got us with the samples as we walked by...mushroom truffle pizza. It was so good we detoured and went in. The pizzas were good and one pizza was enough for two meals. Just know going in that they don't have any fountain drinks and most of their drinks are pricey. Definitely would grab it to go next time.”
“Chris, our server, was awesome! Mad great recommendations, friendly, attentive. Doing a hell of a job. We'd come back just for that. We were there on Taco Tuesday and each one was fantastic. Also loved the smoked fish dip, the caviar deviled eggs. Next time we will get the whole fish”
“Wow, what an improvement. This cozy outdoor gem continues to improve. Great food, great service, quaint atmosphere, and a perfect stop after a long bike ride. The new staff shows they care. Keep it up!”

“Wow! What an incredible dining experience at Kissaki. New favorite sushi spot in Miami. The sushi here is simply divine - each piece of fish melts in your mouth. Definitely try to scallop and the chutoro nigiri. I never thought I'd enjoy uni, but the uni pasta here slaps. It was creamy, rich, and had the perfect balance of flavors. And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, the Matcha Tiramisu blew me away. It was the perfect ending to an already amazing meal. The service was impeccable. I can't wait to come back and try everything else on the menu. If you're a sushi lover or just looking for a memorable dining experience in Miami, Kissaki is a must-visit”
“We are always on the lookout for a great breakfast and don't often find it. So I don't give five stars easily. Ricotta lemon pancakes - must have. Super delicious. Cooked perfectly. Perfectly fluffy. Right touch of lemon. And the ham and cheese omelette - also cooked perfectly. I don't typically like American cheese but it works. Very good. And they had gluten free toast and decaf coffee and oat milk. They had it all. Also had the bacon - thick and cooked well done like we like it.”
“This is such a pretty place which gives you Italy vibes. The food is so fresh and perfect for a brunch. We had the caprese sandwich which was amazing. The bread was like a croissant and we drank a limonata which was so authentic and refreshing. Can't wait to come back. The vibe is so relaxing with this he seating area outside. Indoor seating is available as well. So glad we found this place.”
“The place has a Scarface theme & it’s at The Colony Hotel where the chainsaw scene was filmed.Very nice menu. Great cocktails & fab service. Typical South Beach prices.We were 4 people with 2 checks. 5 cocktails per couple and our bills with 18% gratuity included were about $200 per couple.We both had beef empanada’s . I have the Tony Montana Burger which is a chicken sandwich. My other half has Huevos Rancheros with chorizo. The other couple also shared beef empanada’s. They had The Tony Montana Breakfast & the steak & eggs. See pics for descriptions.We had a great time. Very cool place all around. I think we will be back!!!”
“I must express my gratitude without delving into specifics about the exceptional quality of the food. As a Turkish chef residing in the United States for many years, I have sampled numerous Turkish establishments in Miami and Hollywood. However, none have met the standards of authentic Turkish cuisine until I discovered this hidden gem. Finally, I have found a place where my palate is truly satisfied with the flavors of home.”
“This place was really cool! To compare these bartenders to regular bartenders is like comparing rooms to chefs. These folks took such care and consideration with each drink, it was delicious and very impressive.”
