"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!"

Regatta Grove

★★★★☆ 3.7 (155) • $$

"Love coming here on Friday for happy hour after work ! It has such a great ambience and the vibes are super chill. The atmosphere by the water was perfection with the summer breeze coming in . The service was great , a little delayed because it got full and the staff wasn't prepared. Drinks were good, a little over priced for certain items , but you can always check a menu out for options ."

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!"

Bar Kaiju

★★★★★ 4.9 (40)

"Okay so you know I love speakeasies. I was unprepared to experience one just 5 minutes from my airbnb! My friend and I took a break from Carnival life to experience something unique... and slightly nerdy. We drove to The Citadel food hall's parking lot, and no spoilers, but I saw the speakeasy entrance almost immediately, not even knowing what I was looking for. You'll know it when you see it :). It was a red color with lots of cool kaiju stuff, and you could overlook the entire food hall (and see and hear the DJ crankin'). The bar had space, since we got there not long after 7:00 -- that's when they open!I had two very unique cocktails. My first one was the Sinsimito AKA "The Savage", which had Patron, Tepache, Amaro and spiced corn foam. Let me tell you -- that corn foam was DELICIOUS!!! The second one was definitely dessert -- it had mini french toast crunch cereal pieces on top of the ice, and there was biscotti-flavored liqueur in it, among other things. It was called the Taotie. It was deeeeeeeliicious!! On top of the taste, I loved how passionately the bartenders talked about the cocktails and the ingredients that went into each one after they provided them. The overall vibe was great, and I cannot wait to return this place when I'm in Miami 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."

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."

The Deck at Island Gardens

★★★★☆ 3.9 (450) • $$$$

"I came here for the view, and stayed for dinner. And I gotta say, it was so worth it!I wanted to take pictures of the Miami skyline from this area so decided to make reservations at the restaurant. I was seated outside and the view of the city was beautiful. Yes, the big fancy yachts get in the way of the view, but it was still very nice.On to the food...I asked the waiter what he recommends and he mentioned that the Braised Short Rib Pappardelle was his favorite, so I decided to give it a try. It was fantastic, and I'm so happy that I ordered it.For dessert, I had the Chocolate Nemesis. It's a flourless chocolate cake with red wine gel, dark chocolate on top and 24k edible gold. Yes, it was delicious. The perfect dessert if you like chocolate. I recommend The Deck for a dinner with that special someone. The vibe is very relaxed and the view is spectacular."

Sala'o Cuban Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (401) • $$

"This was a great tour stop. The food was really tasty and the entertainment was fun. We were served a Mojito, a Cuban sandwich and a pastry that had meat in it and cheese on top. It was all really good."

Bay Club

★★★★☆ 4 (59) • $$

"Great karaoke spot. The social distancing was a bit off considering there was a lot of back and forth to request songs and perform but other than that, it is a fun location. Good craft cocktails, the service was a bit slow given the number of ppl."

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!"

Blue Martini

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (487)

"We came here on a whim for pre-dinner drinks waiting for our reservation and were not disappointed! The live music was really great. A live band playing everything from r&b to rock. Super fun!The drinks were strong and we were able to get a table pretty quickly. We ordered class cocktails like bulleit old fashioned and they have other fun cocktails as well to choose from. The jalepeno passion fruit was also tasty. There are lots of reserved tables for the booth area where you can go bottle service, but there are other areas to sit as well."

Katsuya South Beach

★★★★☆ 4 (669) • $$$

"Great happy hour! Cocktails are half off during happy hour and they have a special food menu too. The jaja picante cocktail has the perfect mix of cilantro and spice from the Serrano peppers...had to order a second one! The short rib fried rice was the winning dish. Would not recommend the truffle fatty tuna crispy rice appetizer...the butter from frying the rice was overpowering and the tuna was way too ground up and didn't seem fresh. Service barside was exceptional!"

Sugar

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (808) • $$$

"Sugar is located in Brickell. We had to take the elevator to the 40th floor. It was a beautiful open air environment. It was super packed with people and I found it difficult to navigate my way to the bar! We wanted to get a table and was informed it would be $100 per person in our party of 4. We were told that there was a club type situation on the other side. We walked over and was informed that we needed to be on a list to get in after 9pm."

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!"

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!"

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!!"

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!!!"

Marfil Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.4 (414) • $$$

"Marfil Bistro is a nice Mediterranean restaurant in Doral. Came here before going to play pickleball with some friends for happy hour and we were underdressed. Our friend didn't forewarn us about the type of restaurant we'd be going to but, regardless of not adhering to the dress code, we had a great time. The staff was super nice and very attentive! They have a great happy hour that is every day from 4-7pm, that has 2 for 1 on select drinks and $8 tapas. We ordered a good amount from the happy hour menu and each got our 2 for 1 drinks. Luckily you can mix and match these and they were good size drinks and pours. The food was pretty good so I'm curious how it is to dine for dinner here."

NOMA Beach at Redfish

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (156) • $$$

"Great spot for Saturday or Sunday brunch and hitting the beach afterwards. Also a great spot to celebrate which is what my crew did. The ambiance is chill relaxed and just a great spot to hangout with friends. The snapper was truly fresh and delicious. Crispy skin and the sauce (lemony) made the taste pop."

Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Company

★★★★☆ 4.4 (997) • $$

"We came here for happy hour (4-8pm daily) and were seated immediately for a party of two. They had indoor seating that was a lot more packed but there was outdoor seating which was less so.We ordered the truffle fries ($12) to share and we liked that they were thin fries and they had a lot of truffle flavor from the aioli. For drinks I ordered the white negroni ($10) and the peach smash ($17). The white negroni was good and the peach smash was peachy and minty.This place is open until 5am everyday which is a great place for a bar hopping stop or a food spot after a night out."
