The Collab

I went to the Collab with a friend for their fantastic Miami Spice menu. It is located inside the Thesis Hotel, which has paid parking. It's a bit hidden because the Mamay restaurant is easily visible, but the front desk directed us to the other side of the hotel where the Collab is located. First off, there are some great vegetarian choices! I had the roasted beets, which were delicious, as an appetizer. Then, they were able to do the mushroom gnocchi dish vegetarian, and it was great and filling. The matcha dessert was so delicious with the yuzu ice cream! I don't usually go for the pavlova, but I would return just to have theirs again! The waiter told us the concept is Mediterranean and Asian fusion, and their chef is from France. The service was friendly and helpful. I appreciated that our waiter was actually vegetarian himself! Some places are not as accommodating to vegetarians when it comes to the Miami Spice menu, but I was very appreciative they were able to leave out the ham from the gnocchi, so I could enjoy it too. The ambiance was fun and the decor was trendy and great to look around. I thought the prices were reasonable considering the vibe of the restaurant and that it's attached to a nice hotel. I will definitely be coming back to try more of the veggie tapas dishes and some of the pizzas as well!

The Collab is in the old Orno space at the Thesis Hotel. The dining room is lovely and comfortable and big. The service was great and everyone was cool and young and interesting. The servers uniforms were all wrong, distracting really but that and only that is the negative because everything at the collab was positive and fantastic. We went for dinner during happy hour and had some delicious discounted appetizers. the cocktails were also discounted and so so good!!! We had negronis and martinis and old fashioned and their shelf liquors were all great and not the super cheap variety. Their regular cocktail menu looked interesting and creative but we stuck to the classics. For our meal we started with the Blue Crab Croquettes, Beef Carpaccio, and Crispy Korean Chicken. The chicken was juicy and had the right amount of sauce where it remained crispy but tasty. The blue crab croquettes had a little aji amarillo and they were crabby and creamy and 3 were not enough so we ordered more. The carpaccio came with a frisee salad and topped with a truffle aioli. Light and bright and perfectly sliced, the Carpaccio was a tasty snack. We had the Branzino - super fresh, with pickled fennel that added a nice texture and salt to the dish. The Airline Chicken was well seasoned and very juicy. It came with the tastiest sunchoke puree......never thought I would like sunchokes but here we are. Our friends shared the Tenderloin Truffle. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, the meat was tender and juicy and had shaved truffles all around and delicious and crispy onions on top.We ended the meal with the stickiest, tastiest, yummy and naughty Sticky Toffee Pudding - so crazy delicious.As I mentioned, everything about The Collab is a positive. Service, Ambiance, and top notch food. It is a great experience!!! Now please, have your servers wear black, buy them some cool aprons and get them out of those uncomfortable looking uniforms. Aside from that A+++++

Very nice venue, great food, good times. Went for a date night late on a Friday night and decided to go for the Spice Menu.

Nice new spot in the Thesis hotel! My family loved the old restaurant in this location (Orno), so we thought we'd try the new one for brunch. The decor has stayed the same (which I don't mind because it's really nice), but the chef, restaurant name, and servers have changed. The servers were a bit off, with them bringing over some items that weren't ours and needing to ask a few times to repeat what we said a few times, but it wasn't really a big deal. I got the crunchy French toast which was AMAZING! So creamy on the inside with a nice brûléed top. My dad got the leek quiche we he also enjoyed. Overall, I would very much recommend!

The food was great! Really did enjoy the portion size. Went for the Miami Spice menu and it was honestly, unique and wonderful! The server was great. She was attentive and still respected our space.

This restaurant is beautiful! The food is so delicious and it comes out super fast. The beets were awesome, the cauliflower was amazing. The crab croquettes were soooo good and the drinks were perfect too! Can't wait to come back here!

You have to come to try what can only be described as DELICIOUSNESS. The service is impeccable. The wine is very very good but quite affordable. All around as perfect as you can imagine a meal.
