Mandolin Aegean Bistro

One of the best Greek/Mediterranean restaurants I have been to in South Florida. I completely understand why this place is so popular. Highly recommend. Make a reservation in advance, It's next to impossible to get seated without one. Food- 5/5. Ordered the cheese saganaki and the chicken kabob with Orzo pilaf. The food was incredible. Both dishes were amazing and I cannot wait to go back and try other options. Ambiance 3/5- it's covered outdoor seating, which isn't always the best in South Florida. It wasn't overwhelmingly hot and we weren't seated in the sun but I imagine, on a sweltering sunny day- it might not be as pleasant to dine here. There's not much to the decor outside. Service 4/5- waiter was attentive and gave great recommendations. She was very friendly.

Cute restaurant with a great atmosphere. The seating is all outside in the back. I came here at night and even with the lighting, I thought it was a bit dark.I ordered the Manti Dumplings, which was a very interesting dish; it's beef topped with a lot of yogurt and spices. I enjoyed the dish as I've never had anything like it before. I also had the Baklava for dessert. It was very sweet and delicious!Make sure to make reservations since this restaurant is popular and always crowded. It was very difficult to find parking in the area. I finally found a spot after circling the area for over 30 minutes.

Delightful. Enchanting. And full of beautiful people. This restaurant in Miami is one of the only places where you can feel truly at ease to have a nice long, relaxing dinner. Start off with small plates, sip away, your white wine, and the outdoor patio area, and just talk and talk to your heart's content. There are no cocktails at this restaurant, also very different from other restaurants in Miami. But the wine options are really delightful, and I always recommend the crisp white wine pair with everything. Most of the restaurant is outdoors, so expect to be outside. But the tree coverings do an excellent job of providing shade and comfort. And of course the perpetual Miami breeze!Expect a difficult time parking, and pay attention to all the signage. It's worth the rigamarole, but just be prepared to look for a spot or park in a parking garage.

I was heading to Miami for quick weekend trip and this place came highly recommended. Reservations seemed to book up fast, so you may want to plan ahead (at least 1 week) or put notifications for times you're interested in. There's meter parking on both sides of the street, but be careful and read signs if you park in residential area.Our server was helpful with menu suggestions. All the food was fresh and light, I'm happy we stopped in and would definitely come back again!

Such a pleasant Greek experience in Miami! I'm looking forward to my next time back. Food and service were superb and the ambiance was pleasant.

The ambiance is amazing so I bring friends who are visiting Miami here. However, it's better to go on cooler days since most are outdoor sitting. The food is really good as well, I don't think I had menus that I did not like past couple times I visited. I would recommend to order a mix of dairy + non-dairy items to fully enjoy your experience!

Went for girls night and wow that vibes here are always incredible! Great service, nice ambience and food and wine are superb, 10/10 for date nights as well.

My first time at this place and trying out Greek food! I was definitely scared I was not going to like it, but I LOVED IT! We went with a reservation, and they made us wait for about 30 minutes even though the place inside was empty. That's the only thing I didn't love about the experience.My boyfriend and I ordered to share: Turkish sampler, Ali Nazik, spicy mandolin kebab, and the Karpouzi Fresco to drink. Everything was great, but my favorite was the Ali Nazik and my least favorite was the Karpouzi Fresco. I think watermelon drinks are not my thing because it's the second time I've ordered a drink with watermelon and didn't love it.The place is beautiful, and the service was great too. Definitely a place to check out for lunch.

Yum. Yum. Yum. Yum. Amazing food. Perfect outdoor Miami vibe that really does transport you into the Aegean Sea! We loved all the blue decor with natural woods and fibers throughout the space. Oh, did I mention most of the restaurant is open air so you'll truly feel transported to another locale. If there is one dish you cannot skip it's the grilled halloumi. I don't care if you're vegan. Not today. You're going to set your morals aside so that you can enjoy the food of the gods.

One of my favorite places in Miami. Grilled octopus was tender and wonderfully charred. I always look forward to the beets with creamy yogurt and tahini. The moussaka is always a hearty, reliable option. The eggplant was a special. It was okay. Reminded me of Christmas. Service is great and the entire restaurant is outside. The only slight annoyance is the sheer amount of flys but it is what it is. The staff noticed and turned one of the fans onto our table which helped. I actually love this place and I do put it in my top three for Miami.
