This place was AMAZING. Came here for a buddy's birthday dinner; group of 16. We were seated close to the front of the stage, spread across two tables. He arranged a prix fixed menu so we tried a little bit of everything Delilah's makes.... And OMG.The seafood tower was easily the best one I've ever tried. Every piece of seafood on that thing (lobster, oysters, everything) was delicious. The next thing that came out (octopus) was legit too, and I'm not even an octopus fan! Then we consumed a trio of meats which included steak, chicken and red snapper. The snapper was ok; the steak was good, but the chicken was really good. I can't remember the names of the drinks I tried, but both were insanely good. And the service at this place is what you would expect - superior in every way. If you're in Brickell and can snag a reservation, do yourself a favor and give them a shot.

Oh Delilah, another Miami restaurant that is more concerned about giving people an experience than good food and service. The dark restaurant gets super loud and crowded at night. Between the club music being blasted all night long and the overpacked bar you are certain to miss half of what your friends are saying. We came in as a group for four to try out the Miami Spice dinner menu. We had to ask just to get that menu. I don't think they like serving it. The food was ok, but even at a $60 starting price point I left still feeling unsatisfied. Even better, the second we finished eating we were immediately handed the bill, as though to get us out of the chairs as quickly as possible for the next party. The truth is, there's a ton of places just like this around Miami but at least in the others you can actually enjoy your meal and the people who came with you.

Such a fancy looking establishment, elegantly decorated and just a fantastic experience overall, you feel like you went back in time looking at all the beautiful decor while listening to gentle soothing live jazz music, which on this evening was performed by the lovely Nicole, 3 hours flew by and my friend and I were in no rush to leave our table. From the moment we walked in, everyone was very welcoming and nice, seating us basically front stage, we felt like we had the best seat/table in the restaurant. With Miami spice still going on, I opted to go that route, therefore ordering an appetizer, entree and dessert. For starters I was recommended and ordered the chicken tenders, nice and juicy, 3 tenders served with 3 sauces, bbq, ranch and a spicy honey, that was oh so deliciously spicy sweet! For my main I went with the scallops, perfectly seared and glistening which I enjoyed with an additional side I shared of jumbo asparagus served in a most interesting way, with a runny egg yolk on top, it was perfect. As for desert, I went with the key lime pie, creamy and not overly tart. Everything just seemed to be working our way this evening and we left very happy and already talking about a next visit. The entertainment alone is enough to make you want to come back, which I heard they have nightly with different jazz performers from around 7:30 until 10:00 and on Friday and Saturday nights after 11 a dj starts playing for more of a partying vibe. Thanks Delilah for the great memorable evening!

Wow!! Truly surprised this is not at least a four to five on Yelp. I came in on a Tuesday and was blown away. Delilah is a little tucked away, almost with a speakeasy type door, and those who know, know. A well dressed doorman opens the door and you're greeted with a friendly host that sends you up. Just walking down the corridor and up the stairs, you can already feel this place will be nice. True enough, you enter an extremely elegant, loungey 1920s type of vibe with a beautiful bar backdrop. Many of the seats are cozy couches and we were setup with one of the best in the house! Moody lighting. A great place to dress up and enjoy the surroundings. The cherry on top was a talented singer, Nicole, and jazz band that were outstanding. The music matched the theme, it really all came together. As per the food, I thought they had a great miami spice menu. The ceviche came with a nice presentation and flavors, the chicken tenders with fun dips, my scallop main was cooked and seasoned perfectly and ended with a refreshing sorbet selection. Even the side asparagus was really juicy and with a lot of flavor!Drinks were well crafted with a great wine menu. This is an easy revisit and recommend, even in off miami spice season. I think with the vibe, ambiance, food, superb service, etc. it's totally worth the upgraded price. Hope you check it out and enjoy! Just a heads up, $25 valet. No validation.

Really enjoyed my experience here! The ambiance and entertainment was great as well as the service. I went into it for the ambiance, knowing many Miami restaurants provide the aesthetics yet food leaves a lot to be desired. I enjoyed the drink options and drinks I ordered. For dinner, I had the lobster pasta and I'm not sure if it was me or just my dish but it tasted like someone poured a tablespoon of salt on my tongue.. soo salty. However, my friend who got the same thing said hers wasn't-- so maybe it's me, I'm the problem (it's me). The no photo policy is strict and they will monitor and firmly redirect. Some in my group didn't want to follow that redirection so they were followed out to make sure they didn't take any pics on the way out. It's simple if you go in respecting the expectation. Definitely would love to return but likely sit at the bar.

When you come across a place like Delilah, it's hard to know where to begin. Located in the heart of Brickell lies this sophisticated establishment. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by a grand stairwell and beautiful signage made out of gold and a leopard looking background that seems to be made of resin. My friends and I decided to celebrate a birthday here. Reservations are highly recommended as it seemed to be quite packed when we got there. We waited about 30 mins at the bar, while they cleared a table for us. The decor is so picturesque. I understand why there's "no pictures" signs everywhere--aside from the possible celebrity sighting. I wanted to take pictures of EVERYTHING. I loved the low-key ambiance and live music going on. There was a lady in a nice dress playing modern acoustic hits with the help of her band. Once we were sat, the night really began...what did we not order haha! We ordered the hiramasa ceviche, wagyu carpaccio, king crab salad, oysters, roasted scallops, the branzino for 2, roasted chicken, macaroni gratinée, jumbo asparagus, fries and for dessert we had the sorbet and chocolate profiteroles. No one really drank except for a nice glass of Malbec wine from Mendoza. Everything we ordered was superb. My favorites were the wagyu carpaccio, oysters, king crab salad and the macaroni gratinée. Amazinggggg stuff. The taste of the branzino was there, but could have been better, if it didn't have so many scales and the scallops had a bit too much of salt; things that can easily be fixed. Overall, an amazing experience. Server was on point from taking the order to dropping the check. I recommend this spot for a nice evening out with friends or with that special someone.

A place that serves CHICKEN FINGERS (!) will refuse someone wearing HERMES OPEN TOED SHOES in MIAMI during the SUMMER for a 6PM DINNER. What a joke. Their dress code says "no athletic slides or flip flops". See photos for their dress code and my (lovely, even if I do say so myself) shoes. Are you kidding? Get over yourself, Delilah. You literally serve mac 'n cheese and burgers.

Very great experience! Our server Jackson was absolutely outstanding! We weren't allowed to take pictures so I am sharing some of the items we had from the menu. We shared the Ribeye and it was amazing. Scallops were great.

I was very weary after reading the reviews. I couldn't decide If I wanted to eat here or not but I am very glad I did.The service was amazing and so was the food. I think that maybe they just have bad nights but we had no complaints. From the moment we walked in the hostess was very pleasant and we added an extra to our party without an issue. No pictures are allowed and it's amazing. It takes away from the tacky flashy night life where everyone is only out to take a photo. There are no annoying individuals standing in the way or pulling out a selfie light or using flash to ruin the ambiance.The restaurant is beautifully decorated and makes you feel as if you're walking straight into a scene from the great gatsby. If you do want to avoid some of the more negative aspects in the reviews I suggest you go earlier. This is a restaurant that turns more into a club/lounge as it gets later and therefore it may become less of a formal dining experience. Our waiter was great, the food was spectacular, and the drinks were amazing. Will definitely be returning. I managed to sneak a few pics!
