"This heart led Ecuadorian restaurant is among my top two Miami favorites right now. It's hidden in plain sight, right in Downtown miami. This is only my second time here (tried to get back a few times, but they are sadly closed on Sundays and seem to close around 9pm other nights - a little early for Miami standards). However, I'd say it's definitely worth getting in early and trying the food. You can make reservations and also seems still undiscovered for a spontaneous walk in!From the host to the waitstaff, everyone is very friendly and supportive of each other. Matt took great care of us again tonight and even remembered us from our last visit! The manager checked in later in the meal too. All staff very helpful, professional and welcoming. The food here is amazing. My friends started with the yucca cheese rolls and palo santo butter + corn bread and immediately devoured it. I shared the goat corn empanadas with a friend and wow were they amazing. The corn shell is something special. It's not greasy. It's crispy yet melts in your mouth until the savory salty filling hits you. Fantastic pick. My friends enjoyed the Amazonian fish as well as a vegetable take on their tortellini. Both were beautifully plated and enjoyed. I ordered the goat pasta, which is phenomenal. It seems they changed the pork dish from the first time we visited (prior it was shredded with a very flavorful seasoning on top of pancakes). This dish was good, but honestly not as good as the first pork dish that was on the menu previously. A few felt it was a little dryer than expected and only poked at the corn mix that accompanied the dish, but to be honest this is pulling out of critique from an amazing dish to a not bad one. Any first timer might like it right off the bat. We had ended with the yucca cinnamon donuts + Ecuadorian chocolate. This was a new addition too, I saw it on instagram and it pulled me back. I wasn't disappointed nor my friends. I'm not even a donut lover and I thought this was very well balanced and enjoyable. Ambiance is elevated but not over the top fancy. I think you could get away with a wide range of styles here, but maybe a nice excuse to dress up! I believe the value for the quality and experience is totally worth it. I look forward to returning and seeing what this talented chef and crew has in store for next time! Keep of the great work team! You're doing something very special."

Seasoned well, lots of flavor. Drinks could've been a little stronger but was good as well. Love the ambiance of the place. Definitely a must try"

"NEW NAME: PRIME 54So this restaurant has gone through numerous changes, and the first one is a new name, so if you are looking at this place, just know that it is now called Prime 54.We came here for dinner the last night of our stay in Miami, and my gf was stoked to try the Truffle Bread, which she has raved about forever, but sadly, it does not exsist anymore.So, bottom line here is this place will really take care of you. The manager, Tony, truly a gem of a guy. Friendly, accommodating, personable, professional, and will really turn this place into something amazing.Our server, very helpful, attentive, and gave great recommendations for us in terms of what to order, as we got a bunch of apps and some drinks to share.The food was very good. The Brussel Sprouts were delicious, The Octopus was fresh, the Mac and Cheese was alright, very filling though, and the Cesar Salad was the best one I've had out of all of them.A great place to come for a fancy upscale dinner, and also a nice spot to people watch!"
"Indulge your senses in a culinary journey through Italy at Dimmi!

From the moment you step inside, the aroma of freshly baked focaccia and captivates your senses.Start your evening with an antipasto platter featuring an exquisite selection of cured meats and artisan cheeses, perfectly paired with a glass of robust italian wine. As you peruse the menu, you'll be tempted by an array of authentic Italian classics, from handmade pasta dishes bursting with flavor to mouthwatering seafood specialties, the octopus is unmissablePino, one of the heads of the place, guides you through the menu with expertise, ensuring each dish is a celebration of Italy's rich culinary.

With its warm ambiance, exceptional cuisine, and unparalleled hospitality, this spot is a culinary gem that transports diners to the heart of Italy with every unforgettable meal. Buon appetito!"
"I recently discovered Aba Miami in Bal Harbour, and it's quickly become an obsession.Whether you're looking to treat yourself after a shopping spree, plan a romantic date night, or gather with a group of friends, Aba is the perfect spot for literally every occasion. First off, the restaurant is absolutely stunning. The Mediterranean-inspired decor creates an intimate and inviting ambiance that makes every visit feel special. Having dined here three times, I can confidently say the service is consistently top-notch. The staff is attentive, charming, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu.Now, let's talk about the food--the true star of the experience. Every dish I've tried has been outstanding, but the appetizers wow me every time. The muhammara is a MUST-TRY it's easily one of the best I've ever had. Their lunch specials, like the falafel sandwich, are also great option. And don't even get me started on the desserts--they're nothing short of showstopping."
"Picked up a baguette and a ham sandwich here before the beach. The woman serving us was a bit clueless, but did her best at helping us. It's a small but cozy clean place, with a couple of tables out front. There's barely any prices posted, their salmon sandwich was $15, which is a bit crazy."
"Even though I do not find myself in Doral often because it is on the opposite side of town from where I live, I do enjoy eating healthy and Healthy Delights. I was just there yesterday and because I have followed the all to popular New Years resolution kick of trying to eat healthier, this is a solid place to grab a delicious healthy bite.My favorite item on the menu is the chicken Caesar wrap with a spinach wrap or tomato. I have yet to try the crepes at this place because I am a wrap fan but they do look delicious and will be ordering the crepe the next time I eat here. The restaurant is located inside the food court of the international mall in Doral. I also highly recommend the soups as I got to sample a delicious homemade lentil cream soup that was spectacular."
"We have been here a few times and have always had a wonderful experience. The owner/staff are very friendly and quick to to help with any questions. We have sat outside, inside and at the bar. Great atmosphere and cold beer!Exploring the menu, we have tried many items and we were not disappointed one time. The serving sizes are large and it's easy to take some home. I recommend you give them a try. Enjoy!"
"Took me back to when I was in Italy! Had an amazing time here. We decided to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful Miami weather. The team is fresh making the pasta in front of you so you know it's going to be good. The food was incredible! Our server suggested the carbonara and it did not disappoint. I loved it! So happy we have a piece of Italy here."

Miami needed this As soon as this place opened I knew I had to check it out. Especially since it was part of The Bloom's beautiful food hall. Let's take a second to appreciate how beautiful this food hall really is. The place is class. The place is first date worthy. The place is definitely a collective of master chefs showing off their craft. There aren't too many Ecuadorian restaurants in Miami. At most, a handful and they lack the ability to elevate their dishes to make it attractive for non-Ecuadorians. Cotoa changed that. They added class and esthetic to the many delicious Ecuadorian dishes. They upscaled goat meat to the point where you know this dish deserves a prize. The pan de yuca, was definitely not just out of a bag. It was fresh, it was cheesy and laced with a bit of sweet. The ceviche was fresh and introduced Ecuador's very good version of ceviche to Miami. I'm excited to see whatever else they bring to the table as their menu continues to change and evolve.

This area has a lot history and I'm glad this spot brings out even more of it throughout the ambience and food. This spot is definitely lively. It was pretty busy when we came with a large party. Starters: DEVILED EGGS (the Chicharron is a nice touch). The corn bread was good, be careful it can be meal in itself. A little hard around the edges but the center was warm and soft. I didn't have any but the wings did look good also.For the main course. I had to try the fried yardbird. It was delicious from the crispy skin to every bite. I would have loved a little of the sides. The salmon was also a hit and I highly recommend. Overall the experience was great even the club upstairs was chill with vintage feel playing throwbacks.

The cutest new brunch spot in Miami! My friend and I went on a bike ride along the beach and was looking for a spot to stop by to eat and found this place on Yelp. We were at first a little worried about leaving our bikes since there wasn't any bike parking nearby, but the staff was so helpful and kind and told us we can just lock our bikes to the railing of their side entrance. The ambiance inside was SO CUTE, definitely insta-worthy and the details with the decor was on point, especially with the gold utensils! The food was great and service was quick. Our server, Greta, was the sweetest and kept checking in on us to make sure we were still doing well. I didn't even know this was a newly opened restaurant with the way the place was decently packed on a Thursday afternoon and everything looked so organized and clean!

Prime 54 Steakhouse at the Fountaine Bleau Hotel here in Miami Beach was absolutely a terrific restaurant!I thought I lived within minutes of the best steakhouse ever - Gibsons in Chicago. Prime 54 was as good, or, if not a hair better than my home turf steakhouse.First off, being in one of the most iconic and famous hotels, ever, The Fountaine Bleau, doesn't hurt the vibe going on at Prime 54.The ambiance here is chic, elegant and very dignified. Their menu had all of the classic steakhouse fare. We opted for:One of the best Wedge Salads I've ever had (sorry Bavette's).A Ribeye steak grilled so well, it floored me. Having a perfect medium rare sear and the highest quality beef I've ever tasted, I revealed each bite.Our mashed potatoes were so good, it's like they came from another planet.The mushrooms we ordered were the same - excellent Even the bread and butter was exceptional.We ended this eat-a-thon with a fantastic crème brûlée that hit on all cylinders.Lest me not forget our 2016 Bordeaux that paired perfectly with each thing we ordered.The service was magnificent and the acoustics were great.I really appreciated Prime 54! Who is ever running the "show" here at Prime 54, is a restauranteur - par excellence!

We went to Dimmi for dinner and the whole culinary experience was fantastic! We were greeted by the owner and chef. Once seated he gave us a glass of wine on the house. To start the focaccia bread is delicious. We tried the octopus and scallops as appetizers and both were fantastic. I had the pasta of the day and it transported me to Italy. All so fresh and tasty! Highly recommended!

I came here yesterday with my friend to sample their Miami spice lunch menu. The decor is gorgeous. They have four false trees inside, which look like the real thing. The decor is beautiful. My friend was feeling unwell and did not want to eat. Our server told us if two people are present that we must order two Miami spice. My friend said I will not be eating anything. He said it was not allowed and that we must order something else.!!? strange but I am not going to make a fuss and ruin our girl time there asking why. But I DID not appreciate this. Forced to spend money on food that we do not want......So we ordered one Miami spice and one Falafel. Obviously, we had to take food away. I would love any explanation of this from the management!So, the food.The falafel - was pleasant but over salted.from the Miami spice lunch I sampled - The charred eggplant. It was pleasant but I have had better. It was missing something. The meditarrean salad - I really enjoyed this. It was fresh, colourful. I loved the pop of sweetness from the dates. Sticky date pudding with a caramel whisky sauce. This was the highlight of my meal. A well-executed dessert. I only wish they provided more of the sauce.
Visit Restaurant Page"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."
"Great food and very relaxing atmosphere (based on the time we went at 6:30 on a Tuesday evening). We loved it!; from start to finish. Authentic and quality Italian food with a twist. The spin on the tiramisu was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. An orange zest was what spruced it up and though it's a very lite zest, you know it's in there and it's done eloquently and made to perfection. I loved it! The service was wonderful and we can't wait to return. Enjoy!"
"Loved loved loved! Bored Cuban is a wonderful new addition for Cuban pizza lovers. Or shall I say, Pixa lovers. They have all kinds of Hispanic designer pixas like lechon, vaca frita, and even media Noche style pixas. I went for their classic cheese pixa this time around. And they were amazing to give it to me on the house because I am a teacher! Thanks for the teacher appreciation love. All educators get a free pixa till Sep 4. They sell croquetas and pastelitos as well as burgers. And lots of cute merch. I'm definitely sold. Will be back for sure, it's a total vibe. BTW it's in the same shopping center as Latin Cafe."
"We wanted sushi, and the place we originally wanted to go was a little too far to walk (and we didn't feel like taking an Uber because Spring Break traffic was absolutely ridiculous!) so we found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a shot. It was about a 10 minute walk from our AirBNB off Washington Ave and 12th. It was surprisingly empty, except for 2 other customers, so service was quick! Our server and sushi chef were pretty quiet, but that was okay. I loved the mural on the wall. We ordered a few different rolls including their special rolls, and everything was delicious! There was an additional 18% service charge on top of added in 20% automatic gratuity. Overall, happy with this sushi option in South Beach that we found on a whim."
"Keik Bakeshop is hardcore Barbiecore, a bright, playful, and whimsical trend defined by a very particular shade of pink. Owners and friends Wilfredo Ulacio, Carla Villalobos, Pedro Torres and Alejandra Romero opened their pink themed all-day café in Doral in 2020. They have now expanded to Pembroke Pines. I came in the middle of a rainstorm which played in my favor. There was still a 20 minute wait but by the time I left and the sky cleared, the line to come in wrapped around the building. Inside the small restaurant are tightly packed tables and booths, pink walls, draped florals, and servers decked out in more pink. A glass display case showcases a selection of inviting pastries. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a sweet treat, the towering Keik's cakes in flavors such as Cocosette, Heart Pavolova, Layers Cake Guava Y Dulce De Leche, Rocher Cake, and Strawberry Shortcake are sure to impress. The Keik Bakeshop menu features over the top breakfast and lunch options like Oreo, Banana Split, and Guava-and-Cheese Pancakes, eggs benedict, chicken and waffles, two hand loaded burgers and sandwiches, Brigadeiro Cappuccinos, bowls, salads, and soup. The menu has a lot of interesting and unique sweet and savory options. I ultimately decided on a ham and cheese croissant and a vanilla latte which made for the perfect mid morning treat. The latte was beautifully presented with a pink foam heart on top and the croissant was hearty and filling. I took a slice of the Coconut Almond Cake with me to enjoy later. The attentive service, beautiful decor, and inventive menu make this a popular spot for birthday celebrations, showers, and girlfriend meetups. They were also a number of families enjoying brunch. Note that a tip is automatically included on your check and I appreciate that they pointed it out instead of sneaking it in. It was a pleasure to finally check out this adorable café and I look forward to visiting their new Pembroke Pines location soon."
"The three stars I'm seeing from a bunch of other reviewers sound about right. I stopped by at lunchtime while working in the area near the Generator Hostel where Hoja is located. I was able to get a seat in the AC in the dim and cozy inside dining room. Their menu covers pretty much all of the tex-mex classes, and I enjoyed a fairly well packed & spicy chicken burrito. There was actually a large amount of chicken filling it, and the tortilla & chips were of a nice texture. For a lunch portion, $14 was pretty fair and expense report friendly (It was a work lunch, remember). But the $5 soda and 20% automatic gratuity got me "the look" from accounting. Service was adequate for South Beach; maybe I'll have to try it and check out the cocktails others mention when I'm not on reimbursables. 3 Stars and a "Placeholder" spot for now.."
"Ayesha is one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. This one is in KB; service and food are always outstanding. We always get chicken tikka masala, tandoor chicken, tandoor lamb, palak paneer, daal, butter naan, navratan shahi khorma, rogan josh, mango curry, nilgiri lamb khorma... such a feast. Makes us happy for days!!Thank you Ayesha KB for being the absolute greatest and to many more years of happiness!"
"Mini update: The last time I visited the parking was validated. The food was fabulous and so was the service. Thank you for taking your clients into consideration !!"
"This restaurant is beautiful! The food is so delicious and it comes out super fast. The beets were awesome, the cauliflower was amazing. The crab croquettes were soooo good and the drinks were perfect too! Can't wait to come back here!"
"Sundays are for croissants! Bought a Too Good to Go Box for $7. It included 2 mini and 2 large croissants (Tiramisu, PBJ and Strawberry Mascarpone). The strawberry one was so fresh and airy. It's everything I thought it would be. The tiramisu was good too. I didn't like the PBJ too much and thought it had too much filling. Then again, im not a fan of pbj sandwiches. Parking is best on the street. Service was quick. Space inside is small. Note, less people around 3pm. Will definitely be back for more via TG2G."
"A group of 4 of Us stopped by for lunch on a Monday afternoon. Upon arrival we were immediately greeted & seated. Our meals were beyond delicious."
"Quite a nice spot for enjoying a little trip for France.The croissants and desserts in the case look nice enough to be in a fancy French bakery in Coral Gables, not some random plaza in Doral. They taste pretty good too. I got the pistachio croissant and it's literally filled with pistachio cream. Quite a few other flavors to choose from too! We also picked up a few bread to go and enjoyed them as well."
"We treated our friend for her birthday here at Tullio, and we all enjoyed our dining experience! We randomly found Tullio and popped in one night, but we didn't have a reservation and unfortunately they were busy & already full. We ended up making a reservation online for the next night, and we're so glad we did! When we returned the next night, the owner kindly greeted us and thanked us for coming back. It was very nice that he remembered us from the previous night. Later on, his father also came over to our table to greet us. Delicious food & top notch service! They're known for fish (fun fact: the owners are from Venice), and of course you can't go wrong with the pasta dishes. My faves were the burrata appetizer and seafood risotto. For dessert, I highly recommend their gelato (the flavor of the night was pistachio & it was made in house), and the tiramisu, which they make right by your table. Will definitely come back next time we're in Coral Gables! Highly recommend it! 10/10 dining experience."
"The atmosphere is cute, very nice decorations. However, the fact that you need to pay for water is ridiculous and the next liquid like substance they have are juices which are $7 each. As you can see other Yelpers are turned off by this as well and I think this needs to be addressed. I was tempted to take my cup to the bathroom sink. Food was OK I think it looked prettier than it was. The waiter really sold us on dessert with the red velvet and s'mores dessert but they were dry as can be. Overall, it was decent."
"I love meeting up my friend Priscilla here because she's Brazilian-Portuguese so she knows all the names of all the baked goods better than I do at this place and of course she can order in Portuguese!Some of my favorites are: Pao de Dios, Golfeados. They're coffee is amazing as well! We always get the mocha with non dairy milk and it is delicious! The place is always clean and spacious. We're always able to get a big table in the back which is perfect for the whole gang!The servers are very nice and friendly. I know my friend always strikes up a conversation with them in Portuguese so I understand a lot of it but not fully! Lol There is parking right in front of the store. Very convenient especially in the Coral Way/Gables area where parking could be a hassle to find and / or you have to pay. They have their own parking lot and it's free!"
"Excellent fried spicy chicken sandwich! Sweet potato fries wasn't as crispy as the regular fries but everything else was perfect: great service, extensive menu, and delicious burgers."
"Amazing place! Food, service and ambiance were excellent. As soon as you walk in this place, it gives you a warm, intimate feeling with low lighting - similar to a New York Italian restaurant. My boyfriend and I went on a Saturday night with reservations and it was a full house, packed with a lot of people! Make sure to make reservations or you will wait a while. Loved the decor with photographs of celebrities on the wall. Service was top tier. Our waiter was excellent! He was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive.Food was AMAZING!! Quality and freshness on point.Salmon Carpaccio:Delicious - light, flavorful and fresh! It was drizzled with lemon and capers. This is great for a light appetizer.Fiocchi Rapera:This was my meal and it is my FAVORITE! I believe it's the house favorite as well. Another light dish, pasta purses are filled with pear and cheese and has a flavorful sauce. It was perfect!Chicken Marsala:My boyfriend had this and he loved it. I tasted it as well, and it was delicious - a classic Chicken Marsala, you can't go wrong with.Ricotta Cheesecake with lemon sorbet on the side:Delicious! I would say this dessert was on the heavier side out all our dishes. We probably could of fared better with a creme brûlée. Nonetheless, the cheesecake was flavorful and decadent!Only con to this place: Parking! Circled the block so many times for street parking as the small public parking lot next to it was full. They have Valet parking at $15 though. After circling the block for 30 min, we finally found street parking nearby. If you live nearby, best bet would be to come in an Uber.Will definitely be back!!"
"We had a later reservation, but once we arrived we were seated promptly.The ambiance was very pleasant and the lights were perfect. Our server brought water and this delicious bread with whipped butter.We all ordered from the Miami spice menu and all of the food was delicious. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant."
"Craving pizza, I jumped on Uber Eats and saw that this place (listed as NYC Pizza II on Uber Eats) was offering BOGO cheese pizzas so I figured why not give them a try. I also got a Greek salad. I really liked the flavor of the cheese pizza. The Greek salad was really good, too. Please send 2 cups of that yummy Greek salad dressing! If I see they're offering specials on Uber Eats, I'd order from here again."
