Silverlake Bistro

I can't get enough of this little hidden gem. Everything about it is perfection. From the ambiance, to the service and most importantly the food. Took my friend for a birthday dinner here and silverlake did not disappoint. The waiting staff are all so attentive and friendly, the food is mouth watering and the ambiance is so cozy. It felt like I was having a dinner at my own home. You will not regret this place.

The service was very good. There are plenty of servers, and they are always very friendly and knowledgeable... This is my third time visiting this place. The inside has an awful smell. I think perhaps from water damage or something? But it doesn't seem to bother anyone. I had the steak frites, but I substituted the French fries and got fingerling potatoes. For dessert, I tried the crème brûlée. I am eager to go back and the gnocchi Mac and cheese.... So far, I haven't really found my favorite dish yet.....

I need to give this place another chance because it must have been an off day. My friend had spoken highly of this place but the day we went they had changed how they made the Mac n cheese and our service was just not on par. She brought out the wrong dish and forgot to tell us the specials (we overheard it at another table). This was at a time where there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Hoping for a better experience next time

Not sure how this place doesn't have 5 stars! My parents told me I had to try it and have the French onion soup. The presentation was like no other French onion soup I've ever had. I had the steak and my boyfriend had the short rib fettuccine. I enjoyed my steak BUT I wish I had gone with the pasta. That was probably one of the best pastas I've ever had. We had dessert, but the star of the show was that pasta. Can't stop thinking about it.

I LOVED this place! The ambience is great, service is friendly and food is delicious and creatively prepared. We had the carrots, duck tacos, and gnocchi mac and cheese to start, followed by sharing the burger and steak frites. The carrots were delicious with house made ricotta and honey. The duck tacos tasted like authentic mexican tacos and the gnocchi mac and cheese was easily the best mac and cheese I have ever had in my life. The burger was perfectly cooked, juicy and delicious with perfect buns and sauced just right. This is easily my second favorite burger in Miami. The steak was also perfectly cooked. I can't wait to go back. They also have a great wine list. This is a top ten restaurant in Miami for me.

Incredible little hole in the wall. Located in surfside so it's all street parking. It does have a good amount in the block but maybe if you continue driving you might be able to find lot parking that you also would have to pay for. It is a small and cozy place with eclectic decor. The ambiance is a casual slightly upscale. All the servers are absolutely fantastic and very knowledgeable about anything on the menu. Some of my items were recommendations from the server. The food is INCREDIBLE and so consistent. The gnocchi max and cheese is one of my favorites, it's always so warm and cheesy to perfection. The mini St. Helena grilled cheese is always a hit. For mains i've tried the 1/2 chicken that's always juicy and flavorful. My all time favorite is the steak and fries. the steak is always so tender and full of flavor. It served with bone marrow which i add to every bite of steak along with perfectly cut home made skinny fries. The desserts are also delicious. My favorite is this Vietnamese coffee served with ice cream. The combination of the hot and cold is unmatched and the flavors blend so well together. Overall adorable, cozy place with outstanding food. Must visit if in the area.

I love this restaurant. Been here twice so far. It's a cute and cozy place. Went on a Monday at 6 PM and it was empty. I went another time and it was busier. The service was excellent and the food was even better. We were promptly seated and served. The food came out reasonably quick. We ordered the gnocchi mac & cheese which was fantastic. And the Silverlake cheeseburger....amazing burger. I would go back everyday if I lived closer. Highly recommend.

Silverlake Bistro in the Normandy Isles section of Miami Beach. Accessible via the 79th St Causeway. My friend raves about this quaint neighborhood bistro and she's right! They deliver. Indoor and outdoor seating, very reasonable prices, great staff and very tasty food, what more could you want? We shared everything, something my friends and I love to do, but everyone could get their own item and be just as satisfied. Silverlake Bistro has beer & wine only, no cocktails. Thursday's is 1/2 price bottles, so we indulged in a bottle of red, after enjoying some bubbly. We began with the Homemade Empanadas which change daily. Today there were two options, meat (beef) and ham and cheese. I didn't take a photo of the action but the ham & cheese was oozing cheese and it was my favorite of the two. The Beef had tons of flavor and was served with a chimichurri on the side. They had a beef carpaccio special with EVOO parmesan, and fried capers that was excellent, served with Sullivan St Baking Co bread. The Tarte Flambée is served like a pizza using a thin quiche dough with Vidalia onions, shiitake mushrooms cantalet and crème fraiche. It's light and tasty, another great shareable. The Radicchio Cesar salad was a sleeper item, each bite was coated with their incredible dressing, great crunch, whole anchovies, and perfectly homemade croutons. See Mom, I eat salads! The Gnocchi Mac & Cheese with "duck fat seared gnocchi Smoked Gouda, pork belly, bread crumbs" was heaven on a plate, I could have eaten 3 plates of this. Stupidly good cheesy, and that pork belly was perfectly crispy and chewy at the same time. Don't miss this one, share it. The burger we shared, but I need to go back and have a whole one by itself. I believe this could be the best burger in Florida. I'm not joking, I know this is a very subjective statement to make, but try this one and I'll try yours. Prime beef Two patties, cheddar, mayo, steak sauce, and crispy smoked bacon. My previous favorite burger was the (now unavailable) proof burger. I need to go back and have this again. The pasta special was Bucatini all'Amatriciana, in a red sauce with black pepper, very thick spaghetti there was some bacon or pork belly with it also. Not my favorite pasta, but my companions enjoyed it! The Chicken al Mattone is a brick chicken served perfectly, juicy, crispy skin, fingerling potatoes and caramelized onions underneath soaking up all those wonderful chicken flavors. We did save room for desert and we were rewarded by their awesome crepe with salted butter and powdered sugar. I added vanilla ice cream on the side, but it was just as delicious without it. The star of desert was the Butterscotch Pot De Creme. Sea Salt, creme fraiche, and this incredible butterscotch. Don't miss it! I had a espresso with desert and had a little fella pour the cream (see video). Excellent experience. Living in South Broward (Pembroke Pines) it wasn't too difficult to get to, if you live nearby or ever find yourself staying anywhere nearby add this place to your list, you will not regret it!

I decided to git this little restaurant a try. Boy was I up for a surprise. The waitresses were amazing. On point with all their orders. Their recommendations were spectacular. They were also good conversationalist. The ambiance of this place is surprisingly cozy with great background music. The food! Wow. We started with this baked cheese with brandy and scallions, to die for. The meals were equally great. Seems like if I was in a French restaurant. You have to try this cool and delicious spot.

It's been a while since I went to a true neighborhood bistro. SilverLake Bistro delivers on all fronts: quality and fresh dishes, professional and friendly service, casual and welcoming atmosphere.Their Branzino entree is a must as is the gnocchi Mac and cheese. Perfect for date night or a casual dinner among friends. They accept reservations. We will be back....
