Sins Gastrobar

I went a couple of times for a drink and some small plates. I had wine by the glass and to be honest it was not nice at all. I tasted my wife's cocktail and it was ok.Small plates are small indeed and in my opinion unimaginative. Overall I think it's overpriced.Service was rude, hasting us to please free the table...However and despite all this, the ambiance is fun and the vibe is this Miami shores laid back yet sophisticated atmosphere. I recommend for an happy hour if you are local. If not, you have better options out there

Ambiance was excellent. Food was "expensive but good" (quoting my husband). Who said he would definitely return. Food was delicious. Service was great. There was a live singer which was the icing on the night. It's so pleasant to have live music while you eat. Overall loved it!

Before I begin my review, I want to say that we were impressed and loved this new restaurant! The vibe is that of being one with nature, foliage, and bright flowers.Yesterday we decided to try a new restaurant in Miami Shores, which is a growing area. Sins opened about 4 months ago and already has a very good rating. That says a lot to me. They must be good. We were cordially welcomed at the front door by Valentina, who also was our server. She is very outgoing and efficient. It was fun to get to know her.The menu has so many good dishes on.it, but we decided to try one of their lunch specials. It is $25 per person and includes an appetizer, entrée and dessert. We both picked the same thing: the Short Ribs with mashed potatoes, the Cassava fritters, and the Carrot Cake with ice cream. It was filling and delicious! All of the choices sounded good.I must mention that the service was above expectations here. It was definitely high-end treatment. Fast, efficient, friendly, and impressive! They all are great at team work. I can't wait to go back.If you like to party, then the night to be there is Friday nite from 7:30 pm until closing. Live music, pop, hip, rock, soft, etc.Parking was on the street, and we found a spot right in front of the restaurant. The restaurant features double doors, so it has wheelchair accessibility.

I definitely will need to give this place another try. Saw some great reviews but it wasn't what I expected...Came on a Sunday for brunch (because you know, sundayfunday), no live music like they advertised or entertainment, and they did not have orange juice so they weren't offering the unlimited mimosas (which was perfectly fine because who uses oJ in their mimosa anyway!). Well apparently, Sundays are dead so they moved the live music to Saturdays when the parties seem to be happening. Then I asked about serving just Prosecco and some kind of juice on the side to satisfy the "mimosa" requirement. I wasn't given a no, so I went with it, but ended up getting charged for each glass (boo). Food was delicious and great portions! But very limited on brunch options. if you want something to share, they don't have apps on the brunch menu but you CAN order and app from the dinner menu. I recommend the empanadas and the oh so mouth yummy pork belly's! Their cocktails and bar selection is great as well! Overall, for two people, the bill came out to about 150 and that's with 5 rounds of Prosecco and 4 rounds of margarita. So NOT bad! was just hoping for more of an up beat setting to keep me around longer. They need to update their flyers and add apps to the brunch menu, but other than that, I will definitely be coming back on a Saturday to give it another go. I think, i'll have a much better experince. might even change my rating.

Go here for the drinks.but not the food or service s. Service was pretty poor. I had ordered a drink and it didn't get delivered with others at my table and our waiter looked at me and asked if I was going to order a drink. When I told him I thought I did he was able to name what I order. Then afterwards it took forever still to get my drink. The food was not very good. We order the chicken appetizers and one of them wasn't fully cooked.Ended up ordering the burger which tasted a little burnt. Son had the lamb and said it was too charred and had stomach issues afterwards. Daughter had black linguine which she said had no flavor. She took it to go but never ended up eating it.Husband had tuna tar tar. I would maybe come here for drinks and sit at the bar. Atmosphere was nice. Service was poor. Food was below average.

Stumbled across this place from a local who happened to recommend to us. Fantastic happy hour! Great selection of cocktails and small bites. Would come back again.

I had brunch here on Saturday July 22 with my wife and a couple of her colleagues and everything from the service (shout out to Valentina), to the ambiance and the food was stellar!We started at the bar while we waited for our party. I had the Pride Flight, which consisted of several different gin shots prepared with subtle essences like watermelon and lavender. The gin was smooth and the combinations creative. If you're a gin person, definitely try this! Later on I had the habanero margarita and it shocks your socks off without leaving any signs of the burn! Absolutely recommend! My wife had the Lost City Holy Scribe on tap, which she really enjoyed and someone else tried the Guava Cotton Drop, which is a really fun drink to watch them pour! (Too sweet for me but the recipient loved it.) Once everyone arrived and we moved to a table the gustatory adventure began! The aoili they bring with the thin, crisp breadsticks to start is the best I've ever had, creamy (not oily) and flavorful but not overly garlicky. I had the Latin Tower, which is literally a tower (short) of fried ripe plaintain, steak, avocado, provolone (usually they serve it w/ mozzarella but they were out), pico de gallo and pickled onions topped w/ hollandaise sauce. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the plantains were sweet but not overly ripe and the hollandaise sauce did not overpower the dish. My only warning is that between the avocado, pico, & pickled onions, it does tend to cool the dish down so if you like your food piping hot, you may want to choose a different entree. I also tried my wife's The Queen, a fried arepa w/ shredded chicken in a secret sauce along with avocado and a poached egg. It was an explosive combination of flavors and the arepa maintained it's shape without drying out. Delicious.My wife's colleagues had the Broken Eggs and one of the Benedicts although I forget which one. They both reported loving their food with no complaints. We finished off w/ an order of churros, which were a little crisp for my taste but still overall good flavor.We spent @ $65 per person, which included 2 drinks each and desert along with a generous tip so I consider it to be one of the better bargains in South Florida, especially when you take into account the quality of the food and the wonderful ambiance.

7-1-23NoonMet a dear friend of mine here for lunch. Since she lives in Miami I had her chose. Being we both work ie worked in the industry I knew she would pick someplace fabulous. Well she exceeded my expectations and driving up to get free street parking out front was the cherry on top. They open at noon on Saturday's so we were essentially the first ones here. Note most locals live on Miami time so that means you won't see a soul until several hours later. My friend got a table towards the back against their see through wine cellar. You order still by QR code so my friend pulled the menu up on her phone and me on the online version. We come to find out the online version they didn't update yet and certain items were no longer available. To start we had cocktails myself the lemon drop vodka martini with cotton candy. I skipped the additional added flavor as I figured it would over power the Lemon drop flavor. It was delicious and believe me one drink hit me hard. My friend got the Moscow mule with added passion fruit. We shared all the food and we ordered plenty. To start they have very thin bread sticks on the table with a dipping sauce that was delicious. My friend chose the grilled octopus on corn my favorite and I got the hallucinations shrimps. The shrimp came with very thin slightly toasted bread and was in a sauce with fresh sliced mushrooms and plenty of sliced garlic. If you are ladies that lunch and don't eat much you can stop there. Haha we proceeded to order short ribs that were so tender they fell off the bone into the creamiest of mashed potatoes. Also got the mushroom risotto. Surprise surprise we couldn't even make a dent so I gladly took these home with me. The service was very good and the atmosphere transports you to a far away place like you are on holiday even for a few hours. Definitely would run back here. They literally make everything served absolutely perfect. Also our server Suzanne C told us they had just opened slightly before Covid started.

The service was quick. I had the lunch special, which included the prefixed 3 course meal. This is a great special and priced well. I chose the chef special for my appetizer, which was a corn soup. It was tasty but strong on the sodium side. Then I chose a Latin bowl with beef. I choose well done, and it was delicious! The meat was tender, black beans flavorful, and rice cooked perfectly. For dessert I had the banana pudding. The pudding was moist, not sticky, and the ice cream tasted similar to homemade ice cream. The decor in the restaurant sets a relaxed mood and the wine selection looked plenty. My server was knowledgeable and offered her favorites, which I was grateful for, because I also purchased carry out from their dinner menus. For take out, I ordered the short ribs and mashed potatoes. The serving size was small, but the food was good. They have a great option for brunch and events. I would definitely check this location out again for their brunch and other events when I am back in town.

Great service. The food very good and fresh. The place has very diner vibes (which I love).Great place, overall. I recommend this place.
