La Mesa - Doral

I went to lunch with my father and the food was good. Service was very good. I had the chicken Milanese with Moros and Maduro good size and tasty. My dad ordered grilled chicken with black beans and rice. Black beans were much better than the moros and very tasty. We will go back.

I really wanted to love this place but it just didn't live to its potential. Personally, I prefer the Kendall one. We celebrated my girlfriend's engagement by coming for brunch. We walked in around 1:30 pm and it was pretty empty (should have been a sign). There was a bridal shower with 20 gorgeous ladies celebrating and THEY were the vibe. Pros: super easy to find, ample parking (free!), gorgeous restaurant (perfect for photos for social media) DJ (played really good music), and 2 live dancers. I ordered the arroz con huevo and the churrasco was AMAZING! (Highly recommend, should you decide to go). Cons: very, very, very slow service. There was one (maybe 2) servers assisting us and the bridal shower and we waited a while to place drinks (then they brought out 2 drinks at a time). Food also took a while to come out. Although I loved my meal, the other ladies in my party did not, portions were very small (more of a tapas).We ordered the unlimited mimosas and we had to flag down our server a few times. At a few complaints, the server just stayed near our table and re-poured our drinks.

I had an nice experience at this Cuban restaurant in Miami for my friends birthday ! The live band added a fantastic touch to the evening, and the transition into a nightclub after 11pm was a pleasant surprise. The Cuban cuisine was delicious, offering a genuine taste of the culture. The service was as good .The combination of great food, live music, and late-night dancing made it an fun night out in Miami.

I'd seen this spot near the Airport and office and had been wanting to check it out. I guess we should have heeded the 3 star average and some of the comments about overcharging and slow service. Up charge: $10 for mandatory valet, plus bottled water only, no tap (although a lot of the commercially bottled water is here from our water plant in sweet home Hialeah.) They also have a mandatory gratuity, and of course the waitress is there pushing for extra gratuity. With the gaps in service and up charging this didn't deliver value of close to $200. My mojito was also a little on the watered down side; I mean I felt no buzz at all.My friend Michelle ordered the lomo salteado. We ordered at the same time, yet her order took a long time almost to the point I finished my meal before her plate arrived. The food took such a long time that we ended up packing the food to go. A credit for the inconvenience would have been a nice touch. Ironically, the neon graphic by the kitchen said "left on read" . I think that's what happened with her order. They forgot about it and made some line about the system was down.My chicken cordon bleu - presented to look like a sushi roll was actually tasty with a thin breading and nice smash of ham and cheese. Although the garlic mash was probably from a powdered mix it was tasty and I was able to share it until her food arrived. The bacon wrapped sweet plantains were yummy as well. They're not offered on the regular app menu just part of their $40 appetizer tray that came with mahi mahi. We would have ordered that if they took out the fish, but the waitress kept pushing seafood even though i repeated about allergies. She finally got it As a separate app but I wonder how much of an up charge they put into it.The other app we did get, the loaded tostones with beef were not bad though my friend noted that one of the pieces of beef was a little tough.The high point was our dessert, the flan that we shared. The flan had a nice creamy texture and the chocolate garnish gave it a yummy boost. The espresso we had was a nice closing touch too.They do have DJ music (the DJ is the guy with the creepy face logo on the screen) and some other patrons were dancing later in the evening.

Drinks were expensive! The bar tender ,if you want to call him that, was horrible. Little ice in the drinks. He didn't listen to our order. Very disappointing and I was told they had good lunch service. We were there for happy hour.

The best brunch in Doral. They have live dj & also a dancing show around 2pm. Food was good, lobster Mac & cheese my fav

What a party!! If you're feeling for a brunch where you'll have to be dragged out, this is the place the place to go! The location is a little funny, this is a valet parking only and in all honesty the parking seemed a bit small for the amount of people that were in the restaurant (not sure where else you can park around the restaurant if you wanted to self park, again the location is a little funny where there were no visible parking locations around other than the restaurant) the decoration of the restaurant itself is very Miami a chic- I loved it! The food is delicious and the drinks were great! The ambiance is a total party till you drop and the Dj plays hits all day long! There's dancing competitions where winners get bottles! Soooo get ready to drop it like it's hot to get you moneys worth!

My company used this venue for a big industry event party, needless to say they spent a lot of money. It included drinks, appetizers and food. As we started to arrive, right away you could notice the bar staff had this "incoming big group and I don't want them here" face. Very unhelpful. Never acknowledging ppl arriving and ignoring the ones who were calling, mind your this place was empty. My company was the only one there at that time. Anyway, we sat down and started to order appetizers. They were regular appetizers, nothing delicious or bad, it included croquetas, tostones, pork macitas. It was ok. Then came the main courses, I never tired the fish, but the chicken was dry AF and tasted like it was reheated and I'm pretty sure it was and the pork was dry and season-less. The rice was stale and ot was a bad dinning experience. The sinner staff was nicer and very helpful though but the food was passable at the very least. No recommended. And the desert was either a cuatro leche or flan and again, the tees leches tasted like it came from a little Debbie frozen box. No taste And now the piece of resistance, as the night continued we noticed that the place was filling up to see a stupid podcast that was being aired live that night on the stage. It was a local Latin has-been that was doing stand up. Anyway as we were still in our conversations, some managing peon from inside came to our table and told us to be quiet. After we had spent a ton of money and put up with their questionable service they had the audacity to tell us to be quiet, and mind you, the podcast was a LOUDER than us. Like I said, it was being performed live. So that's when we got up and left. I'm conclusion, not only is the food mediocre and the staff is very unhelpful, they are audacious and they are not aware of what is good service to their clientele. It feels like they want to run a restaurant like an assembly line, put in ppl fast and get them out fastNot recommended

Excelente ambiente, buen trato, buena comida, muy buenos cócteles, se pasa como en familia con todos los clientes y trabajadores

Si quieres pagar de más por algo común y sentirte como un producto, La Mesa Doral es el lugar indicado. El restaurante está completamente sobrevalorado. La comida es normal, por no decir mala. Me cobraron por dos botellas de agua sin siquiera preguntar si las quería de botella o de grifo; simplemente las trajeron. Además, incluyen un 20% de propina automáticamente, sin importar si el servicio fue bueno o malo (aunque, en mi caso, el servicio fue bueno). La camarera me cobró sin mostrarme el recibo. Y me cobraron $10 por un parking obligatorio. También intentan venderte fotos durante la visita. No me sorprende que siempre lleven artistas por que si no, no entiendo que las personas van ahí.
