"Delicious food, and immaculate service every time I visit! This go-around I had the Danny Caesar Salad and it simply amazed me. Loved the taste, freshness was on point and steak was cooked to perfection. Come for the food , stay for the service and atmosphere!"

Killian Cafe & Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (627)

"Doing a new review since I have not been here since 2019. Killian Cafe used to be one of my main to go places for breakfast. I used to absolutely love coming here. Unfortunately, I moved away from the area to NW Ohio years ago for a job opportunity. I was back in Miami on vacation and had to come back.I am glad I did. It was delicious nostalgia. Place is just like I remember it. The place is comfortable and welcoming. The staff is hard working and friendly! The food is delicious!Eating those amazing grits, enjoying the eggs benedict... and god that heavenly Nutella crepe...oh how wonderful it was to experience it again. If I could I would lift this place and take it with me to Ohio. You all who live around here, you guys are lucky! You should come here and enjoy great food and great service! Alas, I had to go and say a regretful goodbye to this place. Hopefully I will be able to swing this way again in the future."

Ocean Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (131) • $$$

"A very posh but beautiful setting right on the beach. This was one of those restaurants that we just happened to stumble upon while walking on the path. We wanted to get a drink and a little bite to eat so we hopped in and we're seated right away. There was a person who brought us our waters. Unfortunately it was hot out and we kept drinking them pretty fast but it took them a little bit of time to refill them. That was one of the things that knocked them down a star was that they were not super attentive to refills. When they would come fill our waters , sometimes they would only fill one or two and then leave the rest of our table with empty glasses . The food was decent we just got little dishes. A drink each and three food dishes cost us 200 dollars. So it definitely wasn't a cheap stop in. But the atmosphere was really nice."

Sipsip Rum Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (33)

"I After dirr Sipsip Calypso Rum Bar tonight, perched atop the newly revamped Mayfair House Hotel & Garden, seeking a quiet refuge after a delightful dinner at Chugs. The Grove was unusually tranquil, with only a smattering of tourists and snowbirds meandering about.Entering the lobby, I was immediately struck by the changes since my last visit. The hotel had undergone a complete makeover, exuding a fresh, modern vibe. As I ascended to the rooftop, anticipation bubbled within me, eager to see what awaited.Stepping onto the rooftop terrace, I was greeted by a transformed Sipsip. The bar sparkled with newfound splendor, inviting me to pull up a stool and unwind. Behind the bar stood Steve, whose friendly smile and infectious enthusiasm set the tone for the evening.When I asked for his recommendation, Steve's eyes twinkled mischievously before suggesting the house margarita. And oh, what a recommendation it was! Each sip was a burst of citrusy bliss, leaving me craving more.As the night wore on, I found myself enchanted by the ambience of Sipsip, soaking in the warm breeze and starlit sky. With a grateful heart, I bid farewell to Steve and the unforgettable experience, knowing that I would be back for more soon.Here's to the magic of Sipsip Calypso Rum Bar,and great service from Steve where every visit feels like coming home. Cheers to five stars and endless memories!"

"Delicious little bistro off the beaten path. Not really a sandwich place though you might think that from the title it does had a burger au jus that will satisfy your sandwich itch.Their butternut squash soup is incredible and salads fresh and colorful. A great place to come for an intimate lunch"

Mayfair Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (9)

"I had the opportunity to check out Mayfair Grill this weekend! Wow it did not disappoint! Giorgio Rapicavoli has done it again! #iykyk!! Everything we ate was perfection. We started with the Yellowfin tuna crudo, black truffle & potato croquetas, & the white bean hummus. All were amazing but truffle crème fraǐche that came with the croquetas is living rent free in my brain at the moment. The highlight of the night was our main dish the Iberico Pork Churrasco. Ill be honest pork is not my usual go to when dining out but it was highly recommended and Im glad we went for it. We finished the night with the Pineapple upside down tart. It was the perfect blend of sweet & sour. Im excited to see the Mayfair making a come back and look forward to their brunch / lunch menus to launch soon!"

Red Rooster Overtown

★★★★☆ 4.1 (959) • $$$

"There was a bit of a wait for our table even having reservations however it was worth the wait . I had the catfish & shrimp over oxtail fried rice and it was really good. 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"

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!"

Keg South Of Kendall

★★★★☆ 3.7 (254) • $$

"Mostly unchanged in the decades of it's existence, frozen in time, still serving up simple but damn good burgers and well cooked, albeit greasy, fries. However I cannot attest to how good the other menu items are, I pretty much have only had the Keg Burger in the thirty plus years of coming here. It's always a trip back in time as soon as I open the door and step in and hopefully it will stay that way."

Bay Harbor Bistro & Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.1 (125) • $$

"Walked passed this place On my way! To another spot and noticed this guys food that was dining outside. It looked so good I decided to change my plan and check out this place. Staff was friendly and efficient. I ended up getting the turkey salad and an iced americano .Coffee tasted great and the salad was very fresh and delicious. Another plus it the prices... very reasonable.Check 'em out if you are in the area."

Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay

★★★★☆ 4.2 (107)

"Dined here while visiting Miami. I tried many items from the menu, and I would say, they were all very good. I'm not a fan of duck, but I figured that this would be the place to try it, so I ordered the Confit Duck Leg Bao, and I would say, it was my favorite out of everything that I tried. Other items that I ate were the GFC, the BBQ Sea Bream, the Sashimi.The restaurant looks very elegant. It's a great place for a foodie as you'll get to try different items."

"This was a delightful visit. The outdoor seating is beautiful and the live jazz band on Wednesday evenings was definitely a fun addition to the ambiance. Reservations is a must. Food was very tasty! Vito's Stratciatella was so fresh and delicious! The service was friendly and attentive. Street parking is accessible. Will definitely visit again when in Miami!"

Eggstaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (255) • $$

"Don't walk RUN to this place! I'm really happy to have walked down the block just to look around and see the changes Miami has made since my last visit and stumble upon eggstaurant, it was after hours so I wasn't able to try it then but I made plans for that morning to make it my business to try this place. The store has hints of pink starting from the outside, and egg decorations throughout, including the lighting decor and you also receive an egg with your order number. First impression of the service the cashier was giving a homeless woman a cup of water so he was already good in my book. My first day here I ordered the turkey sausage egg and cheese which comes with sriracha mayo sauce and the second day I ordered the turkey bacon egg and cheese which comes with a special ketchup sauce and also an order of hash browns. Out of both sandwiches the sausage was my favorite. The brioche bun is fresh and delicious and the eggs are scrambled and made to perfection. My next visit this will be my Miami go to breakfast spot."

"I wanted to wrap a long day with a drink and decided to stop by before calling it a night. The bar is nice, modern and has comfortable sitting. It took a bit to be taken care of but not a big deal. I waited and Carlos was able to prepare the sparkling negroni I wanted and told me it was the first tome he made that drink! A good experience, something to consider and convenient."

Boia De

★★★★★ 4.6 (338) • $$$

"Just tried boia de for the first time. It is located in a shopping center with a coin laundry. Restaurant is small with only 7 indoor tables plus the bar. I would not want to sit outside. One of the oddest Michelin star places I have been to. The waitresses were not very presentable. One of the waitresses had a shirt that was very ripped under the arm. The plates were chipped. We ordered wine and the waitress stepped outside in a bad neighborhood to sample the wine. . That was odd. We tried to sample all the food on the menu and the desserts. They recommended sharing the plates and I must say I was overwhelmed by all the dishes. The salad was incredible. It was crispy and the dressing was incredible. The tartare was delicious. The black spaghetti is a cold dish but it is worth trying. Delicious meal. There was not a single dish we didn't fully enjoy. We loved it all. Tiramisu is called crispy because they make it fresh. They use pavesini cookies to make it!"

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!"

CRAFT Bayside

★★★★☆ 4.2 (100) • $$

"Probably my favorite spot for brunch in brickell! Portions and quality are solid for the price and service and vibes are very good.Shared a few dishes and all were good. Loved the deliciously crisped truffle fries but the pancakes as stole the show. The perfect brand of fluffy and just the right amount of sweet. We shared three dishes between three people and felt satisfied. Cost was around $20ish a person with tip.Servers were awesome. We lingered a bit and they did not rush us at all. Which was so nice so we could enjoy the beautiful day on their patio seating for a bit. Very happy with this experience!"

Lion & The Rambler

★★★★☆ 4.4 (90) • $$$$

"Superb! Superb! Superb! A friend and I had the 4 course menu at the Lion and the Rambler, a relatively new restaurant on Ponce just south of Calle Ocho. A small restaurant but perfect for these beautiful 4 course extravaganzas. It's a husband and wife team. The wife runs the front of the house and the husband is the creative chef. The meal started with a number of delicious amuse bouches, followed by sweet potatoes in a very thin skin and a sour orange sauce, cod with coconut bisque and a Thai basil sauce, short ribs cooked for 48 hours and then a wonderful mandarin ice cream with white chocolate and sorrel (where do you find sorrel in Miami!?). Followed by a number of smaller sweets. A very creative, innovative meal! If you have a chance try"

Fiore

★★★★☆ 4 (79)

"Had such a great overall experience here at Fiore Caffe!Cute decor and feminine floral vibes at this establishment. We were dressed up and took so many cute photos here. The food here is good! I ordered the omelette and my sister ordered the strawberry shortcake pancakes. My omelette was HUGE! They don't skimp on ingredients in the omelette either. Sorry I didn't take a photo because I went straight in to eating it. The strawberry shortcake pancakes were delicious. Very pleasing to the eye and stomach. There is a dine-in 18% service charge FYI, this seems to be common with a lot of Miami restaurants.The staff here are AMAZING! Oneil was our server and she was so friendly and attentive. She took good care of us. So much that even with a slight mention that it was my birthday weekend, she and the other staff members brought out birthday waffles and sang me Happy Birthday! I was truly touched and really appreciated it.Thank you Fiore staff for helping to make the start of my birthday weekend memorable!"

The Amalfi Llama

★★★★☆ 4.2 (108) • $$$

"I love Miami Spice because you can try out restaurants that may or may not have been on your radar. I noticed Amali Llama while on my way to dine at another restaurant nearby. Anyway, stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The place is spacious and decorated with a lot of thought. We opted for the short rib empanadas, chicken parmesan sandwich, and chocolate cake for dessert. The empanadas were good, but were dry! They left much to be desired. Even with the chimichurri, the meat was super dry. The sandwich and dessert were just okay, nothing to write home about. I probably will try this place again, outside of Miami Spice, just to give it a fair try."

"Stopped into Lokal for a quick lunch before my flight. I had the pleasure of having Tati as my waitress and I loved her energy, knowledge of the menu and attentiveness. Tati recommended the Mint lemonade which was superb and so fresh! To eat I had a Bababooey Burger which was mouthwatering. What I also LOVED about Lokal was how dedicated they are to providing high-quality handcrafted burgers and sauces that are all made right in house. Inside there is an entrance to Victoria's Vinos y Vermuteria, a wine and vermouth bar that's also a part of the Kush Hospitality Group."

Hillstone Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (369) • $$$

"We had dinner reservations last evening at Hillstone at Bal Harbor. We did early shopping and were hungry. We drove up to the valet service rather than spending time looking for a parking spot in the garage on a busy Saturday.The ambiance is upscale casual in a modern glass and wood decor on the second floor. I liked the glass elevator overlooking the Bal Harbor mall with the waterfalls and foliage. We looked at the menu but didn't see very much that appealed to us. It seemed to be more sushi and fish items. Near the bottom of the menu, we saw French Dip Au Jus with fries, and we both ordered it. It was good but not outstanding. Our server was Joseph, and he was friendly and attentive. Our water glasses were not kept full, and we had to ask for water refills. The prices were high but the quality didn't match. Hillstone is part of the Houston restaurant chain, and some of their food items are similar. We always enjoy Houston's. This was our first time at a Hillstone restaurant. Would we come back? Not sure."

My partner and I arrived to find that they were out of dinners( however a kind employee managed to put together a little something for us)A beautiful gesture amidst such uncertainty. Thank you so much!!! You provided so much more than a meal, you proved that there's still goodness in the world. I will support this business as soon as this madness ends!"

Happea's

★★★★★ 4.6 (168) • $$

"I came here with some coworkers and ordered lunch to-go. Their kiosks for ordering are very simple and they have three of them so if it's a lunch rush, it makes things go quicker. I got a Buffalo chicken bowl. I thought it was pretty good, although a bit misleading since I tasted almost no buffalo sauce on the chicken. There was no sense of spice or anything. The hummus here is really really good though, so I highly suggest whatever you order, that you don't remove it or make sure it has it. Not a fan of sweet potatoes, and I didn't realize my bowl would have it, so I wish I had removed it later when I was eating it. My fault! Would still recommend this to others looking for a "cheaper" and easy take-out lunch vibe. They do have a patio and some indoor seating if desired."

Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4 (422) • $$$

"I came here with my vegetarian friend to sample their Miami spice lunch menu. Also, this restaurant has been on my radar, as I am English and a Gordon Ramsey fan. The decor is set up, so you feel like you are in the Hells kitchen, ie part of either the red or blue team! The restaurant is rather large and lacks in my opinion a bit of intimacy. Service was efficient and a tad snooty. I sampled the following - Appetizer - Sweet Corn Soup - charred corn, jalapeño cornbread croutons, lime crema, chili oil Veg. This was one of the BEST soups I have ever tried. I am very good at making soups, so I NEVER usually get a soup when dining out. However, I wanted to sample this one, and I am so glad I did. The soup was decadent, rich, smooth and full of flavour. Try it and you will see!Main - Petite Beef Wellington served with potato purée, glazed root vegetables, red wine demi-glace and served medium rare. This was a pleasant looking dish. I really enjoyed it.Dessert - Sticky Toffee Pudding served with an English toffee sauce and a dulce de leche ice cream. This was a decent pudding, although I would say it was too sweet (and I have a sweet tooth let it be known). I think I would have preferred the pudding to have been served with a whipped cream rather than with the ice cream. My friend agreed and could not finish all hers due to the sweetness. The ice cream was wonderful, but served with the pudding, and the sauce it was just too much. The sauce was good, but what was English about it?! No different imo to other toffee sauces. Also, to be noted I sampled another sticky toffee pudding recently in another establishment and that one was better, (Management If you want to know where and why, you are very welcome to email me!)I would have liked to have given a five stars for my review. For my food that I sampled and thoroughly enjoyed I would happily give a 5 star. However, my friend is vegetarian, and it was not until we were sat down and perused the menu that we realised she was unable to choose a main, as there were ZERO vegetarian options. We asked our server was it possible for her to sample two appetizers and then the dessert from the Miami Spice, which we thought was a reasonable request. He said unfortunately no. I do not understand why, as it would not have been a bother, and an appetiser instead of a main is a smaller option too. Therefore, she was disappointed, and I was embarrassed as I had chosen the venue) that she had no choice but to order from the standard menu. Such a shame..."

Lido Bayside Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (519) • $$$

"Food was good, but the views and vibe were amazing! This hotel restaurant overlooks the bay, with lots of seating, umbrellas, and fans to keep you cool. The walk from the lobby to the Lido (see pics) is beautiful - a wall of green.We were here for brunch, so I had scrambled eggs with potatoes, which was good. Coffee was a tad cold. Service was good. Parking is a bit tricky as valet is $30 and most street parking in the area is resident permit only, so you may want to Uber or risk getting towed."

Entre Nos

★★★★★ 4.5 (20)

"Entre Nos is a fabulous new restaurant in the heart of Miami Shores. We ate there Saturday night, and my Dining Companion, who was food editor of a major publication for two decades, pronounced the meal to be "very VERY good."The restaurant is at 9840 NE 2nd Ave, and if you haven't seen the sign, it's because it's the night-time occupant of Tinta y Cafe, which is open only for breakfast and lunch. The food was so good that we found ourselves dabbing fingers to get that last little bit of sauce from the salad plate.Their focus -- according to their website -- is "Florida-sourced ingredients, delivering a hyper-seasonal à la carte menu."The server lets you know where the food comes from, even explaining the origins of the salad. Excellent service, great food and -- well, a bit pricy. DC's perfectly done grouper cost $40, my tasty pork entre was $45. We also had delightful appetizers of grilled oysters ($28) and a salad ($18), plus an excellent bottle of Albarino ($65). There was also a steak on the menu for $70-something. I first thought that's maybe too pricy for Miami Shores, but then I got to thinking. The fabulous architecture firm Bruce & Bruce recently finished a beautiful renovation of a house on NE 102nd Street. It just sold for $3.3 million. With sales like that, the new folks moving into the neighborhood may find Entre Nos prices to be just fine."

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!"

Mama's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (31)

"Liked the place, real authentic and simple. Parking out front.Took a star off as the variety was limited, lots of things I really wanted just weren't there and we ended up getting both the curry chicken plate.It was really good. Curry was pretty spicy. Cheap and plenty of food."
