Byblos Miami

Byblos is so so so delicious! So authentic yet innovative and modern. Just thinking about returning makes my mouth water. It's mostly Lebanese in spirit but I tasted touches of Turkey, Israel, maybe Morocco. They refer to themselves as south Mediterranean and I felt those vibes.The setting is casual yet elegant. It was fun to enjoy the DJ on a Saturday night and feel like you're in a chill club someplace exotic.Last few times we visited Byblos we got the 5 course tasting menu. It is a steal! We were 2 people and each tasting course consisted of 2 dishes. So for $110 per person we got to savor 10 dishes! That's a steal, especially in south beach. The wine pairing was an additional 45 a person. Again a total steal considering you start with a lovely glass of champagne, followed by 3 glasses of wine, finished with an amazing desert wine. We loved the salads, the amazing lamb (both the riblets coated in honey and pistachio and the lamb shoulder), the amazing dips with home made bread, the smoky roasted salmon, and the wonderful deserts. Everything was great and the service was impeccable- the staff changed our dishes after every tasting, were there for any request we had, and were overall incredibly attentive and warm. Can't wait to return!!

Byblos stands out in Miami's dining scene with its incredible Middle Eastern cuisine and exceptional service. The menu, filled with flavorful dishes like the lamb shoulder and vibrant mezze, showcases the perfect blend of authenticity and modern flair. What truly sets Byblos apart is the outstanding service, especially from Xavier. His warm, attentive care and expert recommendations make every visit feel special. In a city that everyday is filled with better options, Byblos rises above with its top-notch food and service, making it a must-visit for an unforgettable dining experience.

I really wanted to love this place. WE really wanted to love this place. The reservation was suspiciously easy to get for all the hype (about a week in advance but I am used to far worse in Miami) and we love this kind of good. In my mind this would be mostly Mediterranean style even though we knew it wasn't going to be straight up fish and tzatziki. We were advised that this was "small plates" so we ordered what we thought were some tapas-sized items, a few sides, and a big entree. It was way too much. And way too expensive. Do not order as much as we did, especially if you are just two people. Hummus - the hummus was good but the meat was very hard and oddly on the colder side.Turkish Dumplings - tasty but incredibly, incredibly heavy. Good for a few bites but do plan to share. Fries and dip - I think it was yogurt...fries were warm, but kinda limp.Carrots - very good, we needed a bite of freshness. Lamb for Two - also extremely heavy and rich. I needed way more pickled onion but I was so full by that point it didn't even matter.All that plus only one cocktail was over $250 and we barely got through 25% of the lamb. Again, maybe it was my expectation coming into it but I've never had Mediterranean (ish) food and felt so heavy and full of rich food after. Our semi-disappointment translated into a reservation at Mandolin the following evening for something much lighter. I'm not saying don't go, but all of the above is just something to be aware of so you come in with the right expectations.

Great experience with an incredible Miami spice deal! The ambiance was beautiful and inviting and the food and service were excellent! This was my first time visiting and it was great from start to finish. My only meh experience was the baklava; it's stuffed with mint ice cream so be prepared for that. It wasn't a pleasant surprise. The strawberry dessert was a better selection. The lamb riblets are a little on the fatty end, but that's why I workout and it was worth every bite. My main dish was the fish and it was lite and tasty. The octopus was yummy. The duck appetizer was really yummy and my favorite. Their Sauvignon Blanc was unique but delicious and the nightingale sour was a great start to the dining experience. Check it out and enjoy!

Came here for the first time to celebrate a birthday. We did the miami spice menu and let tell you this was one of the best I have ever tasted. The portions we excellent. They did not skimp on their food as others did for miami spice. The service was excellent our servicer Jacque was great. He was friendly and very attentive. The atmosphere was great music was delightful They was a dj playing cool soothing music to vibe to. I would recommend everyone to try their food out cause it was amazing. For parking they did not have valet which is the only downside. There is a parking lot about 3 to 4 blocks you can use. I will be returning with my mom so she can experience this food.

Let's start off by saying that this restaurant is gorgeous. I absolutely loved the aesthetic. I also loved the food. My fiancé and I opted to have their Miami Spice dinner which was an absolute steal. We each had 2 appetizers including the hummus, the lamb ribs, spinach pide and the salad. They were all excellent. For my meal I had the Turkish dumplings with a side of brussels. My fiancé got the fried chicken with shrimp rice. We both enjoyed our meals. The mint pistachio baklava was to die for! I really didn't expect to love the mint flavor here. The drinks were also fun and different. The service was quick and everything was excellent.

On a recent work trip in Miami, a few of us and some clients decided to try out this place. We decided to do family style and share a little bit of everything. The restaurant was a bit small but still had a decent amount of seats and we were able to get a table relatively quickly. Our server was very nice and gave us different suggestions on what to get/what's good to share.Everything we had was delicious and was so flavorful. I've never been a huge Mediterranean fan but I loved everything there. I highly recommend it and could see myself coming back !

Loved the interior of this spot! And the outdoor space too is very cute. The food was delicious and drinks were lovely. Service was friendly and managers were always seen on the floor assisting their team and guests.

Decided to check out Byblos for Miami Spice and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The restaurant was impeccably decorated. The low lights created a seductive atmosphere with all the Miami vibes. The menu is Mediterranean cuisine elevated. The food was full of flavor,and the staff was attentive 10/10 I would recommend.

Went for Miami Spice dinner and can say it is hands-down the best Spice option. So much food for such a reasonable price! Every course was delicious but I especially enjoyed the duck kibbeh and stuffed baklava. Service was a touch slow at the beginning but I was in no rush.
