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!!"

Rusty Pelican Miami

★★★★☆ 3.8 (2816) • $$$

"If you're seeking a solid dining experience in Key Biscayne, Rusty Pelican is a top tier choice. Tucked in the Marina and offering amazing views surrounded by water, this place is more than just a restaurant--it's a versatile event space perfect for anything from a leisurely brunch to a special dinner date or celebration.We visited Rusty Pelican on a recommendation, fitting in brunch before our flight home. From the moment we walked in, the experience was top-notch. The staff was attentive and friendly, the drinks were perfectly crafted, and the food was delicious.The menu is decent in size, from a raw bar to lobster, and even includes steak options and other lunch classics such as sandwiches and burgers. While the brunch selection was smaller, the flavors are anything but. I opted for the Beef Birria Benedict, which was phenomenal. The sweet waffle topped with tender birria and a rich sauce was *chef's kiss*The cocktails were another highlight--intricately designed, expertly crafted, and incredibly tasty.We valet parked, but apparently parking is a bit of a thing here. The lot is a bit small and congested, so I recommend valet if at all possible. Overall, Rusty Pelican made a lasting impression and has earned a spot on our short list of favorite spots in the Miami area. Whether you're in town for a visit or a local looking for a great place to dine, this spot is worth a stop!"

Barton G

★★★★☆ 3.6 (1703) • $$$$

"Looking for a special spot to celebrate my wife's birthday, Barton G was recommended by friends. Using Open Table, I easily made the reservation a week in advance and upon arriving we used the valet parking service. Street parking is limited, so the $25 was worth it. The server greeted us, took our drink orders and explained the menu. There were options selecting from a planned full course menu or individual items. We opted for the full course menu selection with the main course being the half roasted chicken and the wagyu steak. They are known for their food presentations and we were not disappointed. For dessert, we looked at the Yelp photos and selected the cotton candy. It was a silly selection, the sheer amount of cotton candy was way too much. We seconded guessed and should have selected the funnel cake as we saw another table order it. For special events, I would recommend this spot. While we dined inside, they do have an outside garden and dining area that would be nice on a cooler evening. Make sure you check they out and give them a try. Enjoy!"

Monty's Coconut Grove

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (1239) • $$

"Monty's was such a cute place after jet skiing at the marina. I loved that it's family friendly and there's a pool in the middle. The staff was attentive and friendly. The food came in good portions and fast. There was $10 margaritas specials for cinco de mayo!! The shrimp in my salad was juicy and cooked perfectly. I would definitely come back when we visit Miami again!!!"

Black Market Miami

★★★★☆ 3.9 (481) • $$

"My fiancé and I stopped in here for a quick snack and drink on our way to the event. If you're a sports fan, I HIGHLY recommend this place! There are too many TVs to count, including 4 TVs combined to make one mega screen for the big games. We sat at the bar which has plenty of seating available and quite a few tables, too! I had my traditional Maker's Old Fashioned and my fiancé had a Whisky Sour. Both drinks were good pours and tasted great. We ordered their truffle fries so we had something to nosh on while we sipped our cocktails. Those fries are ridiculously yummy and decent sized portion to be shared with 2-3 people. While we didn't use it, I like that they have a pool table and punching machine in the back for you to play around on. The manager, Ricky, who greeted us was incredibly friendly and polite, as was our bartender. Prices are on par with the area and it's a fun, lively atmosphere. We'll be back and I highly recommend you check it out too!"

The Citadel

★★★★☆ 4.1 (431) • $$

"The Citadel is a food hall along with a marketplace! There are about 12 food vendors here with a mix of cultures participating. There are also a few vendors selling their goods. The ambiance is welcoming, comfortable, and fun!!We sat upstairs on the rooftop from late afternoon thru the evening so that we could see the cool lighting and the night views! The music is Top 40, Latin, and house. We had a great time.If you are on the rooftop and hungry, a server will take your order and go downstairs to the restaurant of your choice. She/he will bring it back to you when it is ready. Very convenient for the customer.There is parking behind the building as well as on the street. There are stairs and an elevator to get to the rooftop."

Copper 29 Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (461) • $$

"Talia was so great! We came in on a boring Thursday night and she made the experience so much fun! She danced with us (for like 5 seconds) but it was appreciated! She made it fun and her vibe was exactly what we needed. We arrived in Miami after a flight delay, a stressful lay over situation, and etc. We just wanted to come somewhere fun and lovely, with good food and drink. Copper 29 did not disappoint. The music is fantastic, played Spanish music, hip hop, it was fun and people were dancing. So happy we chose to come here. The food! So good! The bruschetta was absolutely delicious I even ordered a second one to go lol 5/5! We also shared the chicken tacos, 5/5 very tasty and flavorful. It's definitely more of an appetizer not something you can be full of off unless you have a small stomach. Parking can be found on the same street. It's second to the corner on the street. Everything was great here I appreciate the staff! Thank you again Talia!"

Cèrto

"Came for Miami spice lunch with a friend.Love the Miami spice lunch deal of $30 for 3 courses. We both ordered the 3 course meals per person and decided to share:Complimentary garlic rolls were good! The garlic flavor was decently strong. I liked them best when moist--one roll was more dry than the other.Appetizers: - House salad - lettuce, red cabbage and tomatoes with lemony vinaigrette. Pretty good and nice healthy start before diving into the carbs. 4/5- Tomato caprese - the tomato and cheese was okay, but not as fresh as I was expecting. 3/5Entrees:- Fiocchi alla Gorgonzola gon funghi - anyone who loves sweetness to their savory foods should get this. The cute purse-shaped pasta are filled with pear and ricotta, with a creamy cheese sauce that I could also just eat by itself. 5/5- Penne alla vodka con salmone - compared to the fiocchi, it was a balanced pasta that's less heavy with protein and a little bit of veggies. I appreciate that the salmon wasn't overcooked. 4.5/5Dessert:- Panna cotta: I loved the vanilla flavor, and there's berry sauce as well. Solid choice 4.5/5- Pistachio gelato: I can see why other yelp reviews saw this is the best--it's densely filled with pistachios--definitely our favorite. 5/5Arianna was our server and she was super nice and attentive, frequently checking in, and she made a great recommendation for the house salad. Ambience was nice with plenty of comfortable seating and natural lighting. Parking spaces in front are free but limited as there is only one row of spaces in front for the whole strip, allowing 2-3 spaces in front of each business.Overall the food was great (solid entree and dessert options) with especially good value during Miami spice. Would definitely consider coming back again!"

The Moon

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (111)

"We had a great time celebrating our 4 birthdays together at The Moon! It was the perfect place for girls whose favorite color is any shade of pink! The ambiance is very Instagram worthy with lots of photo opportunities!Their menu was filled with so many tempting foods. We ordered a variety of meals such as Grilled Lobster, Tuna Tartare, Truffle fries, Filet Mignon, Carpaccio, salads, drinks, appetizers, desserts, etc. I can't find all the pictures I took of the food but I did find our bill which lists everything we ordered. Everything was scrumptious! When you plan a dinner show here, be sure to order your meal at least 40 minutes before the show starts. They won't serve while the show goes on. Our server was Eugenia, and she took good care of us.The dinner show was so much fun! They celebrate birthdays and call you up on stage. There are great burlesque acts, too. Very entertaining! They have interactive acts also. We had one of the belly dancers show us how to belly dance.We had a great time and will be back again in the future. There is free street parking."

Novecento

★★★★☆ 3.9 (35)

"Such an awesome restaurant and I really want to go back and try their brunch. I came here on a date night and it was their opening night so lots of fun entertainment like a tango performance and complimentary hand fans. To start they bring you a complimentary bread starter and I ordered the provoleta which is a melted cheese appetizer and it is absolutely delicious. For my main course, I got the extrana streak and it was delicious with their chimichurri. As always I need something sweet after a delicious meal so I got the dulce de leche panqueques and I was in heaven. Next up, I have to try their brunch!"
