"This evening there were eight of us that have traveled together from different parts of the country gathering in Miami for dinner. We sat down and we're introduced to our waiter Alexis, the table they originally had for us was a little bit tight, when we brought it to his attention, he quickly took us to a different part of the restaurant behind the wine cellar that was extremely comfortable for a party of eight. We started the evening with cocktails, we had everything from white wine, to Mojitos, to a spicy passionfruit kettle one vodka with jalapeños, a margarita and then an old-fashioned. For dinner we had a Bronzino, several 10 ounce filet mignon and a few racks of lamb. For dessert we had a chocolate brownie with a vanilla ice cream that was decadent. It was a fabulous culinary experience."
"Full Stop, this place has the BEST HAPPY HOUR ON MIAMI BEACH. when you are on vacation, you don't deserve skimpy watered-down house liquor. You deserve a REAL cocktail, and Mercato has some really special offerings for $7 each. There are also some truly tasty appetizers in the "are you kidding me right now" category, from a mushroom dish I had (yes!) to some killer bruschetta. You can skim the menu, and find some medium-sized apps for a decent price if you want to sample some pf the bigger flavors. The eggplant parm app fit this bill for me. I went twice and was not disappointed.*Note from my companion-best espresso martini, and only place we found with one on the HH menu."
Risotto, roasted foraged mushrooms, Grana Padano & truffle oil.

Visit Restaurant Page"Had been wanting to try Seawell for quite some time and was excited to check it out for brunch this weekend. It was pretty empty, but the place is so cute. We sat inside because it was too damn hot. We had the lump crab Benedict and the burger. We didn't have a choice of how the burger was cooked so it was a little more cooked than my liking. The crab Benedict was good. The tropical mimosa was refreshing and they have a 2 hr unlimited mimosas (and other brunch favs) for $25. Service was awesome. Looking forward to coming back and checking them out for dinner."
"I tried their chicken tikka masala. I tried their garlic naan. Both were delicious. I ordered via Uber eats. Delivery was prompt, however I was supposed to have received two Naan breads as they had a deal, buy 1 get 1 free. I only received 1."
"I came here today with my two friends to sample the Miami spice 2024 lunch menu. It did not disappoint. I ordered the following - Fried Calamari. This was so, so fresh. The calamari were soft and not chewy at all. The batter was so light and crispy. A great appetizer.My friends had the tuna tacos. I sampled a bit, and they were also very good. The tuna was extremely fresh.For my main I ordered the Linguini with Shrimp. This came with a finger licking garlic, butter, white wine, and parsley sauce. A solid dish.My friends ordered the Branzino and salmon. They stated they were very pleased with their choices.For dessert we all had their flan. This was also pleasant, although I wish there was more caramel sauce served with it. We also had a cappuccino each to round off our lunch. Not only did they look pretty, but they were wonderful too.The decor is pleasant. Look at my photographs to see their unusual bottle themed chandelier. The service was also top notch. A five stars from me."
"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!"
"I think this place is so cute! Its so big and homey with the perfect touch of elegance. We had a big party to celebrate my husband's birthday and the restaurant was very accomodating. My favorite part of our entire experience here were the alcoholic beverages/drinks! Everything I tried was so good but my favorite was the Buenos Aires. Oh my gosh! So good and fruity without being overly sweet. We ordered the ribeye which was as good as always. The burger was HUGE and came with a tiny burger on top which was just so funny...my friend who was there could not even finish the plate. The party itself went seemless and the restaurant was very accommodating of our large party. The outside area is well covered and well lit. It is quite romantic to sit outside, so I would recommend. Overall everyone and my husband were pleased with their experience and I would 100% come back either for date night or to host another dinner again."
"We visited this place since it was just across the street from where we were staying. This restaurant has some interesting decor and gives the vibe of a truly daily catch feeling.We ordered fresh oysters, jambalaya and stone crab claws. The oysters were fresh and didn't have the smell we sometimes find in other places. The jambalaya was tasty too. We've never had stone crab before so we decided to give it a try and it was tasty, different from Dungeness crab. The claws were extremely hard to crack but thankfully they came partially cracked already so it saved us a lot of work. Overall I think this is a nice place and one that I likely will revisit when I'm in Miami again."
"Four of us came here for miami spice and we weren't disappointed. The restaurant is beautiful and service was fantastic. I loved the watermelon salad and the steak. I was pleasantly surprised by the black rice dish! The desserts were amazing!!! Overall, was really impressed by the presentation and flavors. The experience did take 3hrs by the time we left. The su chef touched the table and was very sweet, gave us his business card and asked for our feedback."
"Located in brickell, this high end Chinese restaurant has a pretty good 2024 miami spice!Started with a dim sum "platter", which sadly only includes one tasty dim sum and two interestingly fried spring rolls. The word platter made me think more than one dim sum. I wish it were so!Then you get duck pancakes which were pretty good! Followed by the main, I upgraded to the cod which was good, but perhaps not the best on the table. I tried the shrimp, chicken and pork too and felt the shrimp and chicken were the best flavored. Ended with a refreshing sorbet (two small scoops). I'd say for Miami Spice, it's not a bad deal to try this spot out! Otherwise the menu looks a little pricey. The vibe inside is classy, dim lit (almost hard to read the menu). It wasn't full on Sunday, but was getting more people as we dined. Valet parking in the back or mall parking a block away. Service was excellent!"
"WoW. Cuban food. This place rocks, no wonder it is so popular. They have a separate menu for their Miami Spice months. But I got to peak at their regular menu and there's nothing regular about it. It is vast. There are so many options. Beef, Pork, Seafood.. Combinations. Make sure you save some room for dessert also! Don't forget the cafe. It might take the rest of my lifetime to try a little bit of everything from there. First they start you out with a basket of mini cuban breads. It's a trap. Only eat 1 and save yourself for the rest of your meal. I ate three and I could not make it to dessert. In this Miami Spice, drinks were included. We opted for their Naturale Juices. The mango and passion fruit were so good. Not too sweet either but bright. So good! For apps, I tried their Croquetas Basket which came with 2 Ham, 2 Chorizo, and 2 Chicken croquetas. Delish. I took a ham croqueta and smushed it in one of those cuban breads to make a mini croqueta sandwich - try it. We also got the Maraquitas - a classic staple. The garlic oil that comes with it is garlicky and salty, so good. For entree, I got the Arroz Imperial which to me is a delicacy because I don't have it often. It's literally rice and mayonaise with chicken, but this version came with ham. Then, there's a thick top layer of cheese that's been baked. It is a carbohydrate heaven. So good. We also got to sample the Fish Chicharrones which isn't crispy like the chips - but moreover like a fried fish. It comes with an side of rice, so we paired it with black rice and beans. YUM. I love this place."

This spot has been on my Miami list for ages.When a friend suggested we go here for Miami spice. I was like yes finally ! We went for lunch on Saturday with no reservation.It was a rainy day so it was fairly busy. The lunch menu for Miami spice had diverse options. I ordered the salmon.For the appetizer I asked for no Ham on the goat cheese balls. The waiter brought it wrapped with the Ham. When I told him I ordered it without it. Tell me why he brought it back within the next few seconds. It was as if he did not bring a new one. He just took the Ham off and brought it back.For a restaurant of this caliber I would expect better.Also my friend asked for her dish to be in a To go bag ,the waiter never brought it. Not the best service.Overall not the best Miami spice experience. I am willing to give it another try.The salmon was cooked nicely. Easy parking.

This is my go to place now when in South Beach. Located in Espanola Way, this place is highly recommended. I came in one day and got seated right away. Team members were friendly and attentive. Sourdough bread was good and fresh. The salmon was spot on. Crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Very good and highly recommended. I also had strawberry mojito which was refreshing. Make sure you sit outside in the patio so you can dine and people watch!

I came here with three other friends for brunch this morning. Sadly, we weren't able to try the dinner menu, which had more options. I couldn't choose between sweet and savory, so I decided to share with a friend so we could get the best of both worlds. LUMP CRAB + AVOCADO BENEDICT - 24So the portion size of this was pretty big and I definitely could split this into two meals since I don't eat a lot. The garlic rosemary potatoes were well-seasoned, but they were cold and stale. Still, flavor matters more than texture, so we were able to finish them. The benedict was just average. I thought the sourdough bread was quite good and the poached egg (it comes with two) was tasty with the hollandaise sauce. There was also a side of guacamole and we weren't sure what to do with it, so we just dipped our potatoes in here if we weren't feeling the ketchup. However, we couldn't get over how weird the lump crab was. It was over-seasoned and there was more mayo flavor than there was crab. I could barely taste the crab and it was just a strange combination of flavors. I wouldn't recommend this here.LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES - 16There's only three thin slices of pancakes, maybe 10 blueberries and a couple small bits of basil. From the presentation, we weren't very impressed. However, the pancakes itself were very good! The lemon flavor was very prominent and the pancakes itself were pretty moist. We enjoyed these pancakes but would prefer more blueberry and basil compote. I'd recommend this entree even if the price is a bit steep.One hit and one miss, overall, not awful for brunch.

Tried chicken mulligatawny soup and chicken biryani from here. They both were well made and delicious! I am always skeptical about the biryani I order from an Indian restaurant since there are too many types of biryani in India. So, we would not know what we get until we try them. This place's biryani is close to the south indian Hyderabadi biryani that I crave the most. I ordered it in medium spicy. It was perfect! Raita was sweet and fresh. Definitely a good place to try for Indian food. My only complaint is that they did not include cutlery in my delivery order. I was visiting the place and staying in a hotel. So, not having cutlery was an inconvenience.

OMG! What a treat in the Gables. I loved this place. From the moment I stepped in for dinner, everything was on point. The restaurant is super cozy and warm, the aesthetics are classic but not overwhelmingly intimidated. I came here solo for dinner and felt super comfortable. The staff was so attentive and friendly. I ordered a couple of appetizers and the branzino. It was so delicious and full of flavor. I saw a lot of other guests order the whole fried fish, it looked soo good, I'm thinking of getting that the next time. This whole experience was amazing and I can't wait to go back.

Good restaurant for sure! The ambiance is a cool vibe especially inside and the food is good. The service was great and they were very careful with my allergies. We ordered the steak tartare to start and it was the best thing we had. The chicken was really good and the steak was good too with an interesting miso based sauce. The tostones were also good but I would probably order something else next time. The oyster mushroom was good just needed a little sauce or something. All in all I know this restaurant will be even more amazing as time passes because the chef is one of the best!

Came here to say for a besties/couples date night. Was able to get a reservation same day. The service is top notch. Everyone is friendly and attentive. The drinks were delish. I had land of fire and it was amazing. So good we all got one. Or two. For starters we had tuna ceviche, so fresh. Amazing. We also had veal carpaccio which was quite tasty. For dinner I had salmon. I requested medium but it was raw. Raw raw. And whatever white sauce it came with was tasteless. The salmon was good as a leftover after I cooked it more. Side of roasted sweet potatoes were great. My bf had the ribeye which he enjoyed and it stole a bite. It was so good. Cooked perfectly. Salted perfectly My friend and her bf shared the porterhouse which other than being overcooked was beyond amazing. We also got special soufflé potatoes which were recommended. Not what any of us expected. They are not soufflé but poofed French fries. They were ok but not right with the steaks. Prime beef burger was huge and tasty per one friend and my other friend had lobster tacos which she said were good. For dessert we had crème brûlée. Basic but goodExpensive but I'd go back
Visit Restaurant Page"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!"

"I finally dined in the main dining room of Klaw and let me tell you, it was as swanky and marvelous as I would have imagined.While I have visited the rooftop of this gorgeous venue, I hadn't made my way in for dinner. I decided to take advantage of Miami Spice, which the restaurant is offering every day until the end of September. The deal is great. For $60 you can choose from great appetizers- oysters, beef tartare, or salad. Then the entrees get even better. You can choose from sole, filet or a 12 oz ribeye. I opted for the ribeye and my dad got the filet. We both got the truffle sauce and steak fries. They went excellent.No Miami spice is complete without dessert. I went with the chocolate bar which was the perfect mix of mouse and crunch and layers of flavor.Our server was super nice and attentive throughout the dinner. I also loved that the spice menu came with som's choice wine for $12 a glass. As always, the cocktails are top notch. If you haven't visited Klaw, Miami Spice is the perfect opportunity to do so."
"I came here with a group of 4 relatively early on a Saturday evening (by Miami standards, anyway) for dinner. We were seated right away, but the host did make it clear that there was an 8:15 reservation for the table he'd sat us at, so we couldn't dally.We were given menus and a basket of soft and warm mini baguettes for the table along with waters. It took a surprisingly long while for them to take our food orders, especially when we were told when we'd first arrived that we needed to free up that booth for the next patrons to be seated. We started with an order of grilled octopus to share, and for our main courses 2 of us got the pasta bolognese, one got the honey roasted salmon, and one got the pasta with clams. Everyone was happy with their meals and the service staff were outgoing and friendly, including the gentleman who served our wine and took a few moments to chat with us. This restaurant was full, but not packed during our time here, and it appears they also have outdoor seating located on the sidewalk in front, a bit further down the plaza from the entrance of Costa Med."
"Clean and nicely decorated. I was greeted by many staff. First time here.Previous reviews didn't look promising.I ordered sushi lunch A with a salad. My salad looked perfect compared to other photos. The dressing was nice and fresh.My order came quick. Each bite was tasty and fresh. I'm glad I tried this place. I'll return."
"I was looking for a restaurant nearby the area I was at and found Wet. It looked like a great spot to grab dinner and to enjoy the ambiance. I was here on a weeknight so unfortunately they didn't have any cool acrobat performers but the food and service was still top notch.When we got to the restaurant, the hostess asked if we had reservations. We thought we were about to be turned away but we said no and she was able to seat us. I thought their drink menu was hilarious. It definitely played into their restaurant name. I went for their seafood tower and did not regret it all. There is one item on here that my friend and I could not get enough of! I wasn't in the budget that night but I would definitely want to come back and try their wagyu cuts."
"Ordered Pescado a lo Macho via DoorDash and the portion was generous - enough for two and maybe 3 people. The sauce was a bit too salty for my taste so I removed most of it. I enjoyed the shrimp, calamari and mussels as well and the flaky fish. This plate is much better than other Peruvian restaurants. I appreciate that the food came piping hot too."
"El Chalán has been my go-to Peruvian restaurant in Miami for the past 15 years, and it's easy to see why it's my favorite. There's a comforting sense of familiarity each time I visit, thanks to the consistent staff who've become like family over the years. The quality of the food has remained top-notch throughout, with each dish bursting with authentic Peruvian flavors that keep me coming back for more. Whether it's the ceviche, lomo saltado, or any of their other specialties, I've never been disappointed. The atmosphere is always welcoming, with an ambiance that perfectly captures the spirit of Peru. It's not just a meal; it's an experience--one that I've cherished for over a decade and will continue to for many years to come"
"I came here this last Sunday to continue a friend's birthday celebration. The outdoor tables were perfect after a day in the beach, plus as a bonus we got to enjoy some jazz music being played across the street at the city park (though I'm not sure if this was directly related or the restaurant.)We both wanted something light, and their flatbreads and caprese salad hit the spot! The salad had a creamy ball of mozzarella, fresh greens and most originally - grapes! My flatbread was more like a vegetarian pizza with a little drizzle of marinara, shredded cheese and sliced plum tomatoes. They didn't have prosciutto, just regular ham. First world problems, I know, but as a foodie...Since it was my friend's birthday, our waiter brought out both yummy caramel flan (loved that it was served with coffee grounds and chocolate. The flan was creamy and not overly dense. They also brought biscotti with "Happy Birthday " written in chocolate for a nice touch! As far as drinks, the moscato I enjoyed was a great wrap to the weekend."
"My friend and I tried their Miami spice menu and we loved it. She was able to have fried calamari's I couldn't because of my allergies but she said that they were fresh. I had a delicious drink with pistachio! The ceviche was perfect!! So tasty, fresh, and beautiful because the weather in the presentation the plates it's beyond amazing. My main dish was the mushroom risotto and I wish I could have that every day. That has to be the best risotto I have had in my life."
"Dubs is amazing from the unique location, to the amazing customer service down to the delicious and unequivocally flavorful food. My family and I were throughly pleased from start to finish. I had the lobster roll which is one of the best I've had in FL so please be sure to keep that on the menu as I'll definitely be a returning customer. We also indulged in the shrimp and grits which was perfect for a lack of better words. My Husband loved the steak and the cornbread which is rare for him as he's a picky eater. I love that it's inside the Blue Green Market as I've been wanting to checkout this place anyway so after brunch I was able to kill 2 birds in one stone . Run don't walk for a reservation as they're currently reservation only!"
"We felt like we were dining in a friend's living room and it was amazing. We had a reunion with friends we met in Spain and were seeking out a tapas spot to bring back the memories. The restaurant is tiny, with one big table and only two or three small tables. I therefore recommend getting reservations in advance if you plan on dining here. The food is a mix of Spanish and Argentinian tapas, and the owner is from Argentina. The menu was very similar to what you would find in Spain though. We ordered one of almost everything and enjoyed every bite. The jamon, manchego, and bread was amazing. As was the pulpo (octopus), calamari, shrimp, tortilla, jamón croquetas, patatas bravas, and salad. We were celebrating our friend's birthday, so when I mentioned it to the owner, he was awesome and brought her out a flan with a candle - so kind. The prices were reasonable and we had a great time talking to the owner for awhile. The restaurant is located just minutes away from the Wynwood neighborhood, which we still took a few-minute Uber to afterwards, as the neighborhood seemed a little sus at night. I'd definitely recommend dinner here!"
"Im currently obsessed with all things seafood and Cajun. While in Miami I decided to finally give Cajun Boil a shot. I have driven and walked by this location so many times and it never did anything to draw me in but the reviews were all stellar and I am so sorry I waited so long to give this place a shot. I was obsessed with their crawfish etouffe and their crab fried rice was to die for. I got the shrimp appetizer and was so pleased, the shrimp was huge! The restaurant is nice and big with a modern feel, I'm guessing it's good for large parties. The staff was so attentive and I can't wait to go back and try other dishes."
"I can see why Drake wrote a song about this place ("Pound Cake"). I mean, I may be just a chartered engineer but this is certainly a place to celebrate a business deal, a high class date or when you need to unwind and treat yourself as a connoisseur of Italian food.As you sit in the dimly lit dining room, with a prep station within view, start by enjoying the plating of various amuse bouche - pecorino from cheese wheel, spicy salami, bruschetta and a variety of breads. Speaking of complimentary, there was also a snifter of aromatic and warm grappa at the end.My "usual" caprese salad was anything but, starting with the tableside garnishing of the creamy mozzarella slices, fresh basil & beefsteak tomato slices with balsamic vinegar and fresh black pepper for a deliciously spicy taste not expected from a salad. Despite being a high end restaurant, the chicken parm - garnished to look like a pizza - was generous enough for lunch tomorrow. Besides portion size, there was a good balance of marinara sauce and melted cheese. The additional side of fettucine marinara was perfect in texture and richness of sauce.There wasn't a dessert menu per se, but don't panic! Since desserts are homemade, my waiter Ciro described and I enjoyed their Berries Sabayon - yummy mascarpone, marsala wine and fresh berries. A single espresso closed off my night.Side notes and logistics:1. They're located in the Acqualina Resort, adjacent to a Japanese restaurant I want to try.2. Standard valet parking is $25, $10 with validation. Or you can spend some more "cake" and have your car parked out front for $40.3. I was able to secure a walk-in table in casual wear on a Sunday afternoon. I imagine Saturday evenings require more detail and planning.4. They have both inside dining and a terrace. The terrace would be a great place to take a special someone, especially if it's a full moon night."
"Wow, I had an amazing experience at Mirabella during a girls' trip to Miami! We were staying at the Fontainebleau and decided to give it a try for dinner on our last night. This was one of the best food decisions of our trip! The food was phenomenal! The restaurant is gorgeously decorated and was great for our group. The service was excellent and the sommelier gave excellent wine recommendations to pair with our meal. We tried the fritto misto, shrimp gratinati and lobster & burrata as our shared appetizers. Everything was divine but I am partial to the shrimp gratinati. We decided to split some pastas and try a little bit of everything. The branzino and lumache were the hit of the night. I'm already planning my next trip to Miami which much include a stop at Mirabella!"
"The food is good, the ambiance beautiful, but the service leaves a bit to be desired. Our server was very grouchy and kept trying to push us toward more expensive items, more expensive wine and even switched an app to a much more expensive entree. I called the manager the day after when I took a closer look at the bill and she was able to adjust for the sneaky upcharges. Took forever to get our wine. The food was delicious, everything from the zucchini and eggplant chips to the fish, but the prices are a bit outrageous. You're paying for the location after all. I did not like the baklava for dessert, it was tough as a rock (not soft and flaky like it should be) and did not taste like any baklava I've ever had. All in all, we probably would have had a much nicer experience here if it hadn't been for our unpleasant waiter. It was three of us (elegantly dressed middle aged ladies celebrating our friend's 50th birthday) and he single handedly ruined the mood and the evening for us. What a shame."
"Came here for my friends birthday, and I'm so obsessed with this rooftop restaurant!! It's beautiful and the vibes are good. We went on the later side so it wasn't too crowded and the sushi was delicious !! The bathroom area is super cool too and great for some mirror selfies. The views are great too!"
"At this point Ive tried many pokes in Miami but this is still my number one!! Ambience is nice, staff is always friendly and the pokes are fresh, super tasty. Even though this is a busy area, there is plenty of parking around and Im always able to find a pay by phone spot. I just wish they had more locations throughout the city so I dont need to drive from Brickell all the way to Wynwood to get my favorite poke :)"
"Y'all know that since Cosmic Gate released "Exploration of Space" the Full Moon on the beach is fixed on my social calendar. Although usually I go to the regular Full Moon party a little further north, a close friend who lives in the area told me about the dinner party at The Strand for Full Moon night. While there's an indoor dining room, we chose to enjoy the sunset vibe and live music outside on the ocean view terrace. We started with a couple of fruity yet strong cocktail specials they had for their lunar dinner. My impression is they were tropical variations on an old fashioned (mine) and martini (hers), with mixers such as egg white creme & blueberries. The bartender did a great job mixing, as they well blended. For dinner, we shared both their Truffle & Prosciutto, as well as a Strawberry Burratini salad. The prosciutto on the pie was generously portioned, thinly sliced, fresh kale & perfectly aromatic truffles. A creamy ball of straciatella cheese over a bed of kale, sliced strawberries & crunchy walnuts made our salad. Both dishes were light, healthy but tasty.James, our server, and his team were pleasant and attentive with bringing our courses and recommendations. I'd definitely recommend this spot for a pleasantly casual dinner."
"Let me upgrade you Social 27, for helping me celebrate my "19th*" Birthday this weekend! I had left my birthday planning to the super last minute this year, but remembered the tasty times I've had here, whether their mojitos outside during Calle Ocho or a dinner date during a good friend's recent Miami trip.We were a a group of around 10, and the hostess was more than happy to accommodate a la carte without a preset menu. This was perfect to accommodate the varied dietary choices of our group. Once we got there, factoring in Miami time, we had a large table in the inside dining room where we were attended by Ingrid and various other members of the team. Even Chef Justin came by our table!I picked their Bolitas de Yuca appetizer, little pieces of steamed Yuca flavored with gruyere & parmesan cheeses along with the yummy contrast of black pepper and sweet honey. Being a meatatarian, my main was their Churrasco! Served medium well, it was tender, juicy and well seasoned with a tomato chimichurri & boniato (Cuban sweet potato). The slaw with red onion that accompanied it was nicely refreshing. I also added perfectly crispy thin sliced tostones (fried green plantains). Between their classic Zacapa mojito, a refreshing pina colada with a real pineapple slice for garnish & a tableside-prepared rum old fashioned with orange garnish, chocolate bitters and a smokey flavor, my thirst was sated.Since a birthday calls for cake, Chef Justin and his squad prepared a yummy cake with hints of guava, passion fruit and garnished with pieces of flan. Between the yummy food and the company of good friends who also enjoyed their plates..thank you Social 27 for a memorable evening."
"Delicious Haitian food in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood. You order your food at the front where they serve you cafeteria-style and you can take it to go, or dine in at the back area. It's a large area with lots of tables and open space. The oxtail was really good."
"Sebastian was attentive, friendly, and hard worker! Food was great! Amazing flavors! Very happy. Fast service! I only wished they gave bread out- not offered any of asked if we wanted any. But we will be back cause food was so flavorful."
"I typically stop in Mau for cocktails and maybe a bar bite because I love the ambiance and staff here. I had to opportunity to have some of my girls who were in town to meet me here for dinner and we had a time and everyone enjoyed their food. The music by DJ Epps was a vibe. Lena checked in making sure that we were having a great time and everything was good. The hookah was nice and smooth. It was overall a good experience that my girls enjoyed."
