Don Camarón Seafood Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (219) • $$

"If you're in the area and craving seafood, I'd suggest this family style/low key restaurant, Don Camarón. It is about 30-40 mins from me but we don't mind the drive and have visited several times through the years, including today.No reservations required, even with big parties like my family and I, and service is usually very good. Things I recommend:-shrimp ceviche (fish one doesn't always have a lot of flavor) -whole fried snapper-breaded snapper fillet-fish fingers for kids-shrimp in creole or garlic sauce or a la francaise -salmon with shrimp-fried fish bowl & shrimp bowl -fish sandwich For sides we usually do white rice, yellow rice, fries, maduros or tostones. These I have not found enjoyable and no longer order them. -fish soup (not too much flavor)-fried snapper fillet (figured it would be better than breaded, but I was wrong)Desserts:I've had the 3 leches, flan and crème brûlée and they've always been good. Finish off with a colada :)"

Botanico Gin & Cookhouse

★★★★☆ 4 (160) • $$

"Located in or around what was a Mediterranean/ Italian restaurant in the classic cocowalk, Botánico is a nice little tapas spot where I joined a friend for a nightcap and bites after a Holiday party nearby. It may be the bougie version of Cheers since I also happened to run into an old professional acquaintance but anywho.Coming in without a reservation, we were able to get a seat at the bar. The menu is pretty varied and with a couple of large plates that caught my eye for an earlier visit, but for late night their tapas are where it's at. We sampled their burrata salad and fried green tomatoes. While the burrata salad could have used a little more balsamic vinegar per my pickiness, it was a very delicious 4.5/5. The greens and tomatoes were fresh, and the burrata cheese topped with pesto was perfectly cheesecut video worthy creamy.The 3 lightly breaded fried green tomatoes were served with different flavor combinations on the pork belly "sprinkle". I actually enjoyed the one with guacamole as well as the one with some type of bbq sauce.Nightcap usually refers only to drinks, and my old fashioned was classicaly on point with a smooth pour, orange slice and subtly smoky aroma. The sambuca and Porto were sweet closing notes for the night."

Sky Yard Music Bar

★★★★☆ 3.6 (25)

"Incredible ambiance & we loved the hookah here. The service was impeccable & not crowded on a Friday night. We absolutely loved the flavors, but recommend the regular because it's much stronger - the fruit head flavors were also incredible. If you come, definitely enjoy the chill ambiance. 10/10 would come back."

The Taurus

"How have I not noticed the historical significance of this establishment? I pride myself on knowing ALL the hidden gems and yet this one missed me. Like me you probably walk on byHowever, this spot should be loved and appreciated. It has sadly been on the chopping block SO many times, it is sad. This is a gem of old begone days. The structure is all wood, cozy, historical and intimate. They even have a stone fireplace. God help us if this goes the way The old Playhouse has, and gets abandoned, derelict or knocked down.In its time it has been various things - a cottage, a tearoom and gift shop, a tearoom, a steak restaurant and now a pub!Here is some history about the place - It was originally built as a cottage in 1920, as part of the estate of The barnacle, owned by the Coconut Grove pioneer Ralph Munroe (1851 - 1933). He built it to be used as a social club and he called it The Tea Chest. From 1921 to 1923, it operated as such and was run by Munroe's daughter Patty (1900 - 1991) and Alice Ayars, a ceramicist. It was also known as Patty's Tea-chest and gift shop. Then two years later in 1923 it operated as La Casita Tea Room & Gift shop and was owned by Grace and Bob Ousley. They were known for their ice box pudding. This establishment ran for decades and apparently used to serve liquor in fine China teacups during Prohibition. It was also known for their Southern style cooking.In 1969 it was sold again and opened up as The Taurus Steakhouse, offering steaks of course. According to my research an older Coconut Grove female local said Taurus was once known as Coconut Grove's most legendary and oldest watering hole. She remembers the place when it was new, when the bar was wood and covered in an inch of clear polyurethane, when people played backgammon in a room at the rear and when she would make spiral designs with a credit card in the little piles of white powder on the bar after hours. Apparently, these indulgences happened in the 1970's. Boy, if these walls could talk!So? I went in for a gander and ended up chatting to the knowledgeable Scot who works there. He said there are various rooms under the wooden structure. He told me even to this day he has some people coming in asking for the steak! They now deal mainly in pints, trivia nights and have stand-up comedy nights on Thursdays. Surely now I have piqued your interest. Folks SHOULD protect, honour and enjoy such historical local businesses. So, if you go, hit me up and I might join you for the Comedy evening. Also, IF YOU DO GO, please jot me a line and let me know your thoughts.From their website - TUESDAY TRIVIA 8:30 p.m.TUESDAY BINGO Late nightWEDNESDAY VIDEO GAMES 8:30 p.m.THURSDAY COMEDY 8:00 p.m."

"UPDATED REVIEW 9/12/21After not coming to this hidden gem for quite some time now, the family owned business still gives amazing service and quality food without a doubt! Still one of my favorite Mexican restaurant here in Miami. My partner and I ordered the Enchiladas de Pollo en Salsa Verde, there famous Horchata Mexican drink, a tamarindo Jarrito, and chips & salsa (complimentary) with guacamole (extra). Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you receive. In the middle of Kendall and there take out is the same amount of food and quality as indoor dining."

Biltmore Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (28) • $$$

"I have been to the Biltmore Hotel many times for different events. I had never been for a drink at the Biltmore bar until yesterday. The atmosphere is refined and feels very exclusive. Some might say a little stuffy. I ordered a Cosmopolitan and really enjoyed it. The service was cordial. I felt very relaxed being there. I was able to have a quiet and concentrated conversation with the people I was with. This is a great bar if you want to have a cozy 1 on 1 conversation. It did feel a little bit musty there. Otherwise I think it is a destination bar if you are in the area."

Old's Havana Cuban Bar & Cocina

★★★★☆ 4.4 (2705) • $$

"I made a reservation for three (Ronnald, myself and my dog child) on Yelp the night before for lunch on Sunday. We found parking out front, it's paying street parking ($1.90 per hour) with pay to park. They open at 11am so several people were waiting but it went fast. We got seated in the large back patio. What gave me an instant good impression is how friendly and accepting they were with my little Elvis. Even when he was hanging out off leash but not bothering anyone they were kind.He served just like us in his bowl and got his own little plate:)We ordered the variety of appetizers Vitrola because I wanted to try several ones and this is a good deal to do so. Every single item on there was so delicious! I couldn't believe nothing was mediocre but all items were beyond excellent! I was so full I hardly had space for my media noche with fries. Serving is also very pleasing for the eye and social media! The plates are beautiful.Ronnald M got the churasco. Elvis had a little of everything and still wanted more :)Shoutout to our amazing server Sadys that served us with a smile including paying attention to my baby dog. She was on top of all and made it an extra pleasant experience. Highly recommended!This is a tourist hot spot but the prices are very good actually!!! You get the best experience as a tourist for little Havana while also having amazing food!!"

Backyard Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (41)

"To be honest, I wasn't expecting much when I ordered this sandwich on the beach. However, it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was grilled nicely and not dried out, and the pineapple, tomato and lettuce were all fresh. The Backyard itself is a very cute space with tables where you can order and dine. I opted for beachside service, which took a bit of time, but the food was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised, and I'd recommend checking it out if you're in South Beach."

Miranda Cuisine & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (92) • $$

"Guys, do not sleep on this restaurant just because it is tucked next to a hotel next to the Miami airport. The too long didn't read version here is that this restaurant is absolutely delicious and the customer service is amazing.I had a flight canceled and was put up by the airline in the hotel, which is one that I had not heard of before but I'm so glad that I ended up here. Feeling quite peckish, but not having the energy to go out and look for food, I decided to just eat dinner at the hotel restaurant and hope for the best, however, I am so glad that I did. I was immediately sat in a gorgeous dining room area that was incredibly clean and modern. The menu was expensive with both hot entrées that felt elevated along with other handheld items for those who may not be up for a full course meal. For my appetizer, I started with the pork belly chicharron which was grilled to perfection. For my entrée, I got the risotto with a side piece of salmon and a wedge salad, both of which were absolutely delicious. The risotto had barley in it and was extra creamy, but didn't feel heavy while the side piece of salmon was cooked perfection. The wedge salad was comprised of such a beautiful bowl of buttery, delicious leaves, generous pieces of prosciutto, and the most divine salad dressing I've ever had in my life talk with some spicy goodness that just rocked my world and candidly is probably going to be the most memorable wedge salad that I'm going to have in a long time. My partner had a Caesar salad with a burger that was reminiscent of a burger, get growing up with one of the fattest patties I've ever seen in my life that tasted like something you get at a backyard barbecue that fills you up and leaves you feeling so good.From start to finish the customer service was absolutely impeccable and so professional. I can't say enough wonderful things about this restaurant I look forward to coming back here and dining here again in the future on purpose, and would highly recommend anyone to have a nice meal here whether you are passing through or local. A perfect place to pass the evening, 14/10."

The Greek Joint Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (524) • $$

"This was my first visit to The Greek Joint. I turned to Yelp, of course, when the restaurant one street over was completely booked. I love Greek food, so It was worth a try! The staff was friendly and very attentive, from the first moment until the end. The food was very good, and the prices on par with other restaurants in the area, but maybe slightly higher than expected compared to other Greek restaurants. The dip Platter was a great starter, I loved the spicy fetta spread the best. The stuffed grape leaves were really good, but not what we were expecting. They were warm with a combination of rice and meat, topped with a creamy lemon sauce. My husband had the gyro, sorry he didn't let me get a pic before he tore into it. It was filled with meat, tomatoes, onion, and a healthy serving of tzatziki. His fries were thick and crispy; it also came with a small side salad. I chose 2 separate items rather than an entree. The Spanokopita was tasty with the flaky filo and plenty of spinach filling. My salad was huge, but not what I expected, as there was not your typical lettuce base, which is what I was looking for. It was good, but again, not as expected. I think more details on the menu would be helpful, especially for items that may be different from the norm. We skipped dessert as the items listed weren't typical Greek desserts, which was a bit disappointing, but we were full anyway. I would definitely return though, especially for a casual lunch."

We arrived at our hotel 15 minutes before kitchen closing next door so they recommended holding our luggage while we ran over to order. The food as well as service was excellent! And the wine was great! We were catching a plane the next morning and this was the perfect place to layover. We also had breakfast there the next day - delicious!"

Do Not Sit On The Furniture

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (131) • $$

"A friend purchased tickets for us to see Newman. It was my first time there and while I had nice time, I was a little bummed that I was not able to actually see how he was mixing the music which is one of the things I love the most about live DJ sets. I did enjoy that I was able to watch from different angles. If you're petite like I am, you can get a better view through the glass pane on the right side of the stage and go see JUAN, the bartender!!! He's friendly with prompt service and a great mixologist. It's a very intimate club, but they have a decent size section for VIP and there's a fun outdoors area with seating and has some local artists selling jewelry, clothing, etc. Overall, good time, but I likely will only be back if in VIP again."

Estación Central

★★★★☆ 3.9 (51)

"I really want to rate this restaurant with 4 stars, and darn they have the potential to be a 5. I'll start by saying that the food was absolutely delicious. Let me point out the Pros, the restaurant is clean and the service is outstanding, they have a full bar right at the entrance and the restaurant is towards the back, our waitress was very nice, attentive and helpful with the menu, we ordered Sangria, croquetas, fried calamari, potato salad, pan con tomate, serrano ham and Paella, everything tasted heavenly, the croquetas are huge, portions are hearty and flavorful, authentic Spanish and delicious, also the portions justify the prices. Now for the Cons...located in Downtown Miami, you already know parking and getting there it's kind of a hustle. I was deceived by their advertising and though this was more of a food hall or food stations, but it is not, is just a restaurant. This place has a LOT of potential, if they would add a little corner with live entertainment, or pump up the music, it would change the whole ambiance, the time we spent there, i could barely hear a little of their playlist and they had a good selection of songs, but the volume was so so low we were literally BORED to the core, the restaurant has no windows or no were to look at, it's a little bunker so you have to find your own way of entertainment, we even ran out of conversations, lol, it really needs more than food to make me want to go back again. My biggest throw off was dessert, we ordered the cheesecake or tarta de queso, and it was a sad piece of New York Style cheesecake!...with such great food why even bother and put that crap, sorry for the expression, on the menu, what a way of ruining the whole dinning experience! Everything was going great until dessert time, like it's so easy to make authentic Spanish desserts and why did you decide to put that vive killer on the menu?! Overall experience was good but those little details i mention make up for a lot, i wish somebody from management could read this and take those details in consideration because i really liked their food."

"I've been thinking about the shrimp appetizer since I left. The restaurant is very cute and intimate. The waitstaff are all so nice and accommodating. Not that we needed much accommodation. My party got the steak, chicken and waffles and I got the shrimp and grits which I ate before i could grab photos. Rookie mistake. But the SHRIMP??? I forget what that appetizer is called but I believe it has cilantro, and a sweet sauce. It's absolute perfection. Everything that we ate was beyond expectation. We left full and uncomfortable lolI hate that I didn't get a chance to eat here again before I left. Reservations were hard to come by so def try to reserve before hand. It got pretty busy. They have an oxtail lasagna there on my hit list for when I return to Miami."

"Beautiful Tulum type decor at Mexican restaurant Koko. Server Gus was friendly, efficient and explained the menu well. Given we had a larger group with also two young kids, he was able to handle us effortlessly. The food really shines here. Good quality, beautifully flavored with some spicy notes. I got the shrimp tacos which you can also get with lettuce instead of their famous blue corn tortilla. The blue corn tortillas are really good and freshly handmade. For those with a little adventure, they also have an insect menu of ants, grasshoppers, worms etc. I tried the ant egg sauce which was spicy, with some peanut and sweetness with little crunch of perhaps was the ant eggs. I felt adventurous! Worth the price. They have both a nice indoor and outdoor area. With valet close by and street parking if you're lucky."

La Terrazza Rooftop Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (16)

"I actually don't even know what the food that's actually served here because when I went, it was for a Christmas party hosted by a law firm that is in Miami. We had burgers and so many other handheld items that I truly enjoyed. The ambience and the entire view is absolutely beautiful. Great scenic view, great food and I'm not sure if it was just the party that was being hosted that allowed us to get free cigars and smoke. If so, then they have a very nice smoke section/cigars. If not, then I guess it was just a delicacy that I got for that event, and for that evening. Outside of that, I would come back to your truly try the food that's here. But for me, ambience and service standpoint, it's absolutely amazing."

"Service and food were excellent during our visit. We've walked by it's numerous of time very never really stopped to look at the menu. One of those nights that you're just very indecisive about what you want to eat. Walked in and it was great. A nice table in the patio which was great for people watching. Located right in the heart of downtown brickell so it's always busy with people walking around. Service and staff were excellent. Started off with the provoleta with sausages. Wow, they didn't skip on the meat. It covered the whole plate. Full of flavors and hot and sizzle when it came out. The squid ink seafood pasta was excellent. Full of flavors and the variety of seafood was amazing. Also the chicken malenese I believe. It was excellent. Massive prices of chicken with the melted cheese and accompanied by a side of fries. The food was great. Didn't have room for desserts. Overall, the whole experience was great. Right from the start, staff were amazing, food was great, friendly staff and ambiance was great."

Batch Gastropub - Miami

★★★★☆ 4 (1459) • $$

"I'm happy to post this updated review of Batch, and give this place the 4 stars I feel it now deserves; It seems this "gastropub" may finally have their collective "stuff" together once again. That's great to see, as we used to come here somewhat often until about 5 years ago when it appeared to go downhill. We tried returning here a few times last year on weekend evenings, but everything always seemed very inconsistent - sometimes it was packed and other times it was completely empty; they seemed to have random events and theme nights, and their kitchen sometimes closed early. Fast forward to more recently, and this place seems to be much better managed than it had been over the past few years. The kitchen is now consistently open until late, and as a bonus they offer the full menu until close, where in the past they'd always switch to a somewhat limited "late night" menu after a certain time. The bartenders once again seem to know their craft and are outgoing and offer samples if customers don't know exactly what they want, or if the bartender thinks he might have something they'd like. We do miss some of the former food offerings like the margarita pizza which was always good with a unique flavor, and the spicy glazed chicken wings, but the current menu has plenty of variety and we've been happy with everything we've tried here recently. So glad Batch seems to be in a better place now in many respects vs. our previous few (sometimes only attempted) visits - Let's hope they're able to keep it up!"

★★★★☆ 4.1 (1634) • $$

"1-800-Lucky is an Asian food hall in the Wynwood neighborhood. It was spacious with a chill vibe both indoor and outdoor. We sat at the outdoor bar and were directly ignored by the bartenders who would just look at us and keep hanging out behind the bar until we went to the connected indoor bar. Once we were served, the drinks were great and they have a wide selection. I went with something sparkling and refreshing with yuzu. We ordered the Chicken Parmesan Dumplings from Yip and they served it to us with cold marinara and the inside was so dry it was inedible. They were kind enough to exchange them for the Pan Fried Chicken Dumplings which were better but still average. Perhaps other food stalls have better offerings."

Jacalito Mexican Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (89)

"Cute Mexicanish spot with every day happy hour specials (chipotle wing Tuesdays!!!!). The horchata was creamy and spiced well, and the tortillas and house salsa were fantastic. Outdoor seating is fun and parking is available in the street. The service was not overly fast ;) but was really nice (especially when we had to split our check for expense sheets)."
