Kiki On The River

Can't lie, the mixed reviews for food had me a little worried to go all out with ordering a full course meal. I settled for the Caesar salad and crab cake. The salad was a HUGE portion and could've easily been shared between 2-3 people! Great appetizer for the table if you had that in mind. The crab cake was delicious and a large size. Almost the size of my fist. It was delicious and paired perfectly with the Caesar salad. The cocktails served here are beautiful, all presented with a nice aesthetic and taste really good. I forgot the name of my drink but it was a champagne based drink with a block of feta cheese as a garnish. The drink was really delicious and refreshing. The ambiance as you know was a vibe! Come on now, it's Kiki ;) lol. But the dishes I tried were good! It was starting to pick up when I was there so the service was a bit slow. But nothing to complain about too much. I wasn't in a rush so I didn't mind. Next time I will try an entree dish!

Kiki on the river was definitely a great experience for my friends and I. This restaurant does have a dress code and check ID; security seems strict for a restaurant but it's high-end so I guess it's expected it. Once we were checked, in our table wasn't quite ready but that wasn't a problem because they guided us to the back where they had a full bar. We were able to grab a drink, listen to the music, and immerse ourselves in the ambience.The vibe was very good. They played a mix of music such as pop, R&B, hip-hop and house music. I really appreciate how the DJ catered to everyone. We were eventually sat down and provided service. Again, this is a high-end restaurant so expect prices to be up there. This was our first time so we decided to go with "Kiki Greatest Hits". People get up and dance!!With this option, All Dishes Are Served to Share. It's a 4 Person Minimum totaling $349. It's served with: Pikilia, Tomato Salad, Octopus, Kiki Chips, Rack of Lamb, Organic Chicken, Whole Grilled Lavraki, Grilled Vegetables, Lemon Potato, Truffle Kiki Fries.This was a good amount of food for 6 people so be mindful.Vibe: 10/10Food: 9/10Service: 10/10

Waaayyy overpriced. I was shocked when we arrived to see the dishes running from $50-$300. The waiter put an extra drink on our menu. The waiter was annoyed at any changes. When he walked away, we looked at each other like "what was that all about out?" 22% automatically added to bill. And it seemed he knew that.

This is my second time at Kiki on the river with a much better experience. It's ALWAYS a fun show & party here but sometimes the service can be lacking. This time around our waiter was great. We had a group of 7 women so we shared the Kiki's greatest hits which was a perfect amount of food for all of us with some leftover. The food here is exceptional. I'm the pickiest person when it comes to lamb because 99% of the time it's gamey...NOT HERE! The lamb was cooked to perfection & was so flavorful + tender. The apps were all classic Greek and so yummy. The crispy shrimp were ginormous with a great crispy batter. The octopus was sooo yummy. Highly reccomend this place if you're looking for a party!!!! Great for friend trips, bach parties and nights out.

I really wanted to love this place. It's a beautiful restaurant and the vibe is nice but I expected so much more from the food. We had reservations and was sat in the inside a small table on the wall and asked to switch. They put us outside, the weather was nice so we didnt mind and the table was bigger. Our waiter was great but as the night went on the service did get a little slow. To drink we had the kiki love shots they were good. We tried the tuna tartare and the crab cakes. I will say the crab cakes were phenomenal. To eat we tried the lobster pasta the noodles were chewy but the lobster was good. The vegetables were okay. I will say they made the birthday experience great. They brought out chilled shots and a dessert which was great as well. I dont know Id probably come back for drinks and crab cakes. This place does get really busy.

Kiki on the River was such an awesome experience. It was packed on the inside and out at 8pm on a Saturday. We originally were seated inside and requested to be seated outside on/near the water. They were nice enough to seat us outside. There were boats riding by with people partying. One even docked next to us and ordered food. I ordered the Caesar salad. It was just okay. My friend loved the Salmon. I was very disappointed my my cocktail " one night stand" for it was watered down. The ambiance in Kiki on the river is one for the books! You will not be bored! It is very lively !

What a fun spot! We loved getting out of Miami Beach and over to the mainland for this spot! So freaking cool. How many restaurants can you go to and literally watch yachts sail by with upbeat music and the occasional yacht that actually docks so the passengers can become guests of the restaurant???Service is remarkable. Our waiter never missed a beat. I mean how could he when the DJ is keeping all the beats going? Honestly, this might have been the most Miami restaurant we ate at. I would 100% make this a necessary stop for anyone visiting especially if it's their first time!The vibe is unbeatable. Trust me.

If you're looking for a water-view restaurant with an elegant ambiance, look no further. Kiki on the river has the views for you to enjoy for a special occasion!I came on a Tuesday at 5pm per a reservation and was told to take off my hat by a manager named Parsa about an hour later. I didn't understand it, what later felt like discrimination since I saw 2 guests at the restaurant at the time wearing hats. It's Miami, my outfit is cute and it's hot outside. But I'm here to enjoy a good time, not worry about something so simple like a designer hat The Lamb chops were on point with flavor! They had this cauliflower purée thing going on which added a nice kick to them. the tuna Shashimi was fresh. The Greek Bolognese Pasta was actually filling but it has a unique taste you may not want to finish it up. The filet mignon was asked to be cooked medium well and I had to return it to be properly cooked but we all know what happens after that, you're left eating alone!Remember: at this kind of restaurant you aren't paying for the food, you're paying for the atmosphere, the nice water view of the boats passing by etc,My highlight of this experience were the cocktails. They really are strong, something I admired.*if the manager Parsa is so concerned with appearances maybe he should double check his own outfit, like his shoes for example which I noticed as I got into my Lincoln from valet I spent $1,000 on my visit. I will NEVER return again.

Had one of my bachelorette dinners here, it was such a fun experience! We had reservations for. A table of 8 girls, and it was in the center of all the fun, right next to bar. Waiter was nice, he brought us a few shots in the house which was west of him. It does get extremely loud and hectic once like 9 pm rolls around. Lots of interesting attendees who come here to pick up girls There's belly dancing too! There's definitely no shortage of free drinks if you're a cute girl here! We ended up only buying like 2 drinks and the rest someone kept buying us. Food was good too, typical Greek food. I would definitely come back here for a fun night!

Food was very good but mighty expensive. We had an $1100 bill and had to check it. Over $100 worth of things we didn't order on it and the waiter was very upset when we tried to get it taken off. They charge for water and refill without asking. $80 in water and they only took off $20. Dessert dish on bill we didn't order and never saw either. It was nice that they gave us small shots at the beginning but we were seated for 30min before we saw a waiter. Overall we were there for over 3.5 hours and had to cancel our next reservation because it took so long. Food was pretty good but we had to eat very fast. Staff was fairly pushy and was the downside to this place. $45 valet parking. If the price isn't on the menu it's WAY more than you think it will be. Most drinks were around $20-$25 but there was one on the same page with no price and ended up being $45. Just be careful as you will definitely spend way more than you plan on because of hidden stuff. 22% automatic gratuity was very annoying considering how bad the service was. Great decor and ambience but likely won't return or recommend.
