Le Basilic

My husband and i absolutely loved our dinner and time at Le Basilic. Great ambience, romantic and invigorating. True French cuisine, we had our honeymoon in France and this took us back to reliving those moments. The service and staff are very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended

Service was great. However I ordered the $49 lobster appetizer and all I got was a cold salad with tomstoes, avocado, lettece and lobster claws. The dressing was vinegar. It was so overpriced, not even a piece of lobster tail. I have had better lobster and red lobster for less.

My thoughts FWIW:-Beautiful space. I can't imagine what they spent on it. The tables are awkwardly close together, mimicking a french bistro but with such a big restaurant that's generally not very full I don't see why they need the capacity at the expense of comfort. -Food is very good, and it's a great change of pace from the boring sushi and Italian places that are everywhere here. I like getting a filet or the chicken there, the dover sole is pretty good also. If you like french, you'll like this.-Prices are high, it's very expensive. I think maybe that's part of the reason for the slower nights. I thought this place would be slammed because it's unique to the area, but when I go there it's generally not that full. It's not empty, but, it's not as busy as I would expect. I like quieter restaurants so that's not really an issue, but with such a big space I just hope they make it. Sunset is a neighborhood and I think how places like Sardinia have made it so long is recognizing that, maybe offer something that draws in more casual eaters (or drinkers, the bar is beautiful). I know it's a balance, because the type of food served is higher material costs. Sardinia keeps removing menu items because they get priced out of what the area can support, so it's not easy.-Service is hit or miss, but maybe it's just because they are new. They can be a little slow and disorganized. Maybe just working the kinks out. Everyone is nice though.-This is a place to drink wine rather than beer, but it's laughable their beer choice is Corona. France makes some decent beer now, carry a French lager and an IPA. Or go Belgium for the beers if that's easier to supply, Duval or something works. I liked their wine selections.-They seem to do zero marketing. Not sure if that's intentional, but, not sure many people know it's even there. Do some Instagram stuff, make some noise. There are lots of big money homes nearby, put a frickin' flyer in their mailboxes or something. Venetian islands, Sunset, Bay Road, come on lol. TL;DR: Glad French food is here. Food is good, service hit or miss, expensive.

An absolutely beautiful restaurant, inside and out. Food is excellent. By far the best French restaurant in South Beach. Like a French version of Casa Tua but better. A+ experience.

I am from Chicago and was in Miami Beach for a conference. Had dinner there on Friday night. It was the most beautiful restaurant I have ever been in. The food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. It was such a great all around experience, we cancelled our reservation at our intended restaurant on Saturday and went back here. I've read some of the other reviews and the only thing I agree with is that it wasn't as busy as I would have expected. It's fairly new and I'm not sure they do much marketing but Miami' Beach residents are LUCKY to have this place in there midst. We will come back to Miami just to come here. It's a little pricey but the whole town is expensive. If it's too much there's a McDonald's down the street. Don't diss this place because of the price . You get what you pay for and it's well worth it.

Barely any air conditioning inside. Couldn't decide if inside or outside was colder (in summer in Miami). Poor service felt like waiters weren't interested in waiting on the table, slow service. Escargot, the tools couldn't hold the shells, 2/6 of the snails were closed (could not even reach the snail.) Could be an amazing restaurant but with no a/c (should be refreshing to walk to into an cold restaurant and would of stayed a long time/come back) the design is amazing but will not be back due to the service and temperature of the restaurant(all 6people were sweating inside just sitting there(men and women))

While the ambiance of this restaurant is very nice, the food was incredibly disappointing - bad, even. The service was slow and inconsistent which was surprising, given that it was not that busy during the week. Waiters also have limited to no tableside preparation skills.I live in the neighborhood and hope they raise their game - it's a terrific location and lovely for outdoor dining while the weather is still nice in the evening. The food, though, leaves a LOT to be desired - especially given the prices.I cannot recommend this restaurant and seriously doubt if I will return.

How unprofessional, they cancelled our dinner reservation for my wife and I an hour before on a Saturday evening. We drove to the beach from over an hour away

pay attention to your bill! They're adding extra staff thinking that costumers won notice! Our bill was almost $700 and when we asked to see it on the paper the bill came out $350.Totally trying to scam us!!! No bueno!!!!

Extremely bad service starting with the young girl at the front . Don't forget this City we live in has wayyyyyytoo many choices to choose wrong .
