Marfil Bistro

Todo estuvo bien. La comida deliciosa. El "short-ribs with parmesan risotto" es de deguste obligatorio para cualquier comensal. Ademas pedimos "parmesan gnocchi" with added chicken. Y para cerrar con broche de oro: "la bola", un postre de chocolate con helado de vainilla, fresas, y lava cake CHEF KISS.Ademas aprovechamos el happy hour, donde puedes escoger entre algunos vinos y cocteles y te queda en 2x1 la oferta. Yo probé sangria blanca y sangria roja.Amenizando se encontraba un saxofonista que hacia la noche muy agradable y especial, con un repertorio variado, 100% recomendado.

Marfil Bistro is a nice Mediterranean restaurant in Doral. Came here before going to play pickleball with some friends for happy hour and we were underdressed. Our friend didn't forewarn us about the type of restaurant we'd be going to but, regardless of not adhering to the dress code, we had a great time. The staff was super nice and very attentive! They have a great happy hour that is every day from 4-7pm, that has 2 for 1 on select drinks and $8 tapas. We ordered a good amount from the happy hour menu and each got our 2 for 1 drinks. Luckily you can mix and match these and they were good size drinks and pours. The food was pretty good so I'm curious how it is to dine for dinner here.

Doral has lately become a favorite spot to meet and hang out with friends. Marfil was recommended to me by a friend, so we decided to try out their happy hour on a Friday afternoon. Their drinks are buy one get one free which is a unique deal to see. I had a lychee martini which was very refreshing to drink. Their HH food consisted of $8 (each) empanadas, mussels, calamari and tequenos. They were tasty - very nice to snack on while you sip on your drinkService was nice, I appreciated that they were accommodating to any food allergies and recommended alternativesTowards the end of happy hour there was live music playing and our happy hour experience couldn't have been any betterThis restaurant would be great for a date night out or for friends to meet for happy hour. Worth trying out!

Since my last review some favorable changes have been made. Service was very good (Oriana was very attentive). We ordered Lobster bisque, and it was very tasty but could have had some lobster pieces. The burrata appetizer was good but the burrata was a little dry on cutting it. The salmon carpaccio when brought to the table had a fishy unpleasant smell and it comes with a little salad. The vegan fettuccine (I wanted it with Spaghetti and this time they could do the change) was in a delicious tomato sauce. The wine glass (Albarino) was very good but expensive $14.

My wife had been to the restaurant with her colleagues for lunch and they enjoyed it so she wanted me to try it. We went for dinner and were turned away because of my service dog! I was told I could sit outside in 100 degree heat or simply go somewhere else! Needless to say we left and never looked back! I don't care how great your food is if you have that attitude to customers with disabilities. My wife told her colleagues and they haven't returned either and I didn't even bother with them again. Now, it pops up in my Yelp as a must try, what a joke! How about they treat ALL CUSTOMERS equally regardless of their disabilities.

I had a nice birthday lunch with my granddaughter and we both enjoyed our meals. We chose them based on their Miami Spice menu items and because we both like Mediterranean and the fusion of different culniary flavors. Our server was very attentive and professional. I had the lamb meatballs appetizer, the black ink crape and the nutella cake is to die for. All the meals were fresh, tasty and well presented. The ambiance, decor and music were well done and the overall restaurant was comfortable and pleasant. We plan to return to try some of their other dishes.

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience with Marfil Bistro and I feel compelled to share my story. Two weeks before setting a reservation, I contacted the restaurant to discuss the possibility of accommodating our group of 30. I was informed that I could either reserve the mezzanine for 30 guests and each family could make their own payments or schedule an event with a set menu, which I would cover.After receiving the set menu options via email, we come to find that some of our favorite dishes were excluded. Our intention in choosing this restaurant was to enjoy the full menu we've come to love over the years. Because of this, we decided to make a reservation for 30 so we could enjoy the full menu and order more. The trouble began when I called on a Friday to make our reservation, only to be told on Saturday morning that the reservation thst was made didn't exist. I had emailed the event organizer Saturday morning to see if we could organize a set appetizer menu for the day of our reservation that I would pay for in advance for the guests. Zuly the organizer then called me. The ensuing conversation with the event organizer was frustrating, as she argued about me not having reservation at all and insisted the only way was the set menu and I wouldn't have a reservation until it was paid and contract signed. I told her we'd be happy to but we just didn't want those options and if they were willing to make some changes and create a new package. She told me to send her the change request in writing. When I submitted a written request for just ONE change, priced equivalently to the item I wanted to switch out, the response was upsetting. The organizer stated, "Unfortunately, we won't be able to accommodate your requested changes due to the high-traffic nature of the date. Changes to the menus are not allowed, and it's not permitted to eliminate or substitute the dessert." She had zero intention of helping us when she spoke with me on the phone but instead wasted my time. This experience not only showcased a lack of flexibility but also a failure to honor the commitment made during our initial conversation. The inconsistency in communication and refusal to consider our preferences left us with no choice but to take our business elsewhere. Having to remake and send out invitations with such short notice. It's disheartening to see how a restaurant we've been loyal to for years has chosen to handle its patrons. I hope this review serves as a cautionary tale for others considering dining or hosting events at Marfil. As their employees are clearly not well trained on what the event organizer wants and whats worse, is that she seems to be an owner or related to one.

Doral has really been doing the most with their awesome restaurants. I recently visited Marfil Bistro and loved my experience! This cozy spot offers delicious bites, my favorite being the sea bass and my moms was the lobster risotto. Both were honestly so perfect and served so nicely. The service really makes the experience exceptional. The cozy comforting vibe is just perfect to hang out and catch up with loved ones while enjoying good bites along the way.

Our brunch at Marfil was absolutely lovely. The restaurant has a delightful ambiance, complimented by great service. The FOOD is amazing! It is fresh and delicious! My husband and I enjoyed every last bite. We had the soup of the day (salmon) and the Spanish tortilla as appetizers. We did the brunch option which is a really great deal and includes appetizer, main, dessert snd 2 for 1 mimosa :) The omelette was very tasty and so was the vegan fettuccine! For dessert we chose the Nutella bread pudding and the Red berries Panacotta which were both exquisite! Great experience with attention to detail in the service, the ambiance and presentation and flavor profile of each meal. We will back very soon.

The dishes were outstanding - the duck was superb, and the short ribs with risotto were fantastic. Service was top-notch!
