Balan's

This place has beautiful decor inside! The food was fresh and delicious. I had the salmon entree and it was great!I came here with a large group from work, it may have been about 10-15 of us, and there was only 1 waitress attending to us. She was great and attentive, but not sure if they had anymore staff on-site that day, another waitress could have certainly been of help here to tend to our large group. Nonetheless, we had a great dining experience!

Came after dinner. Can't believe this place is still here! love love love it! Had some drinks at the bar which were great. The outdoor seating was PACKED and looked like a great time (as usual). For those unfamiliar with this location... Indoor is smaller than expected but very cozy and pretty. Our bartender was great! loved her.

Happy hour 3-7 Had the oysters which were good. Decor was pretty. Service was ok. 18% service charge auto included into the bill, which seems typical around the area.The main reason I had a bad experience here was the amount of mosquitos that kept flying around me. It made the whole experience uncomfortable. The manager came by to check on me afterwards and offered bug spray.... but it was already by the time I had cashed out.

Great service great happy hour menu. they have a lot of happy hour options. Also, you can get hookah here if you like. They have a full bar and by my observation, a large amount of tequila.. one thing I really have to say that the service at the bar was absolutely top-notch. The server was attentive and made great drinks. Will stop here again for a full meal later.

Came to check out the happy hour menu and found a few good things to choose from. Server Stephany was helpful in explaining all the things and really selling the items on the menu. Great service Al around from Balans.West Coast Oysters: great taste, two options for sauces both of which were quite goodSalmon Wonton Tacos were excellent, the tiny happy hour ones come with two and you'll want to order three plates--they're that good (but too small of a portion). Mildly spicy sauce and sitting on a pillow of really good guacamole. Can't fail.But oh my gosh the dessert.... The Toffee Pudding is what dream are made of. Rich, decadent and a good size...The toffee sauce has the right consistency with a gorgeous buttery caramel flavor, the pudding itself was perfection, I couldn't find any flaws with it and even the ice cream was of high quality (Uber creamy and custardy). I ate it as slowly as I could--I didn't want this moment to end. Thankfully the staff let me have this moment of bliss in peace. Decor is girly and cute, making it an ideal spot for brunch with girlfriends. Lots of fun wall art and floral motifs throughout.Everything was delicious but I'd come back for this dessert in a heartbeat.Oh and they offered a glass of bubbly on the house --thanks y'all!!

This is a really nice restaurant. We were seated promptly and our servers brought over the menus and water. We ordered a drink- the spicy leecherita since we had a free drink- it was really good. We also had bottomless Bellinis and they were really good. We all ordered from the Miami Spice menu and all of the food was delicious. I had the chocolate croissant, the eggs Benedict with ham and a side of potatoes, and the Belgian waffle for dessert. The other entrees looked good too. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant.

Nothing in the food menu got my attention. So I played it safe and order calamari. I was very disappointed. The vibes is great with good music and hookah. Don't recommend the food though.

Went here for breakfast and was not disappointed. It was a very solid breakfast, not the best ever, but far from the worst. It's in a great location right in the middle of Brickell. And the outdoor vibes are perfect for a group to start today for Miami scene.

This place had been on my list for a while and my friend and I decided to give it a try for Miami spice. Overall the food was super tasty and worth the miami dinner price. The restaurant had a mix of varied music and the decor was cute for photos. However, the service was lacking, our server was nice but seemed to have forgotten us a few times. Additionally the wait time for the dessert was too long for our taste, since everything else had come out at a decent time. The worst part was the bathroom situation... it did not fit the restaurant. Honestly, it was not well kept and my friend even stained her pants with a mystery liquid from the floor. Apparently every hour someone cleans it, but I recommend the restaurant invest in a bathroom attendant at all times, because that bathroom brought down my view of the restaurant. If that situation is fixed it can easily go up in my rating.

Diabolical. One of the deadest happy hour places around - maybe it changes at brunch or late night, but the food and drink here are terrible.
