The Gibson Room

How this spot only has 3.9 so far on Yelp is anyone's guess.I came here last night with my friend and we both LOVED it. Sexy, dark, sultry decor awaits you. We were transported out of Miami and felt we were in a New Orleans or New York speakeasy. We were delighted to discover they had live Jazz too. Apparently, they offer live Jazz from Wednesday to Saturday!The service was fantastic, friendly and personable. The food, again Fantastic. To be noted the Chef and restauranteur is Michael Beltran. He has a Michelin Star for his highly acclaimed restaurant Ariete. The food quality here is as good as Ariete and also his Chugs diner. See my other reviews of these other gems.WE tried their Caesar salad - and as my friend put it "a real one", as it came with anchovies, which takes it to that next level! We tried a cheese board with all their dreamy trimmings. We both ordered their scallops for our mains - which were melt in your mouth. We then finished off with their oh so decadent sticky toffee pudding (I am English what can I say). WE are both little Vixens, so had to try their Vixen cocktail. We adored it, two drinks in one and such fun!IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN.....RUN....

Think of the Gibson Room as your neighborhood watering hole but with a dark, classy, smooth twist - it's a whole vibe in there. I usually hit up this spot for their HH, which is served at the bar and at the 2 high tops on the side if you have a party of 4. The vino glasses and cocktails are $10 a pop and they change. I was a fan of the Dark and Hoppy and The Track Day, myself. Don't get too excited about the online menu, because things change and what you are eying may no longer be served. There are also a good number of snacks on the menu. $1.50 chargrilled oysters are reminiscent of escargots-like delicious herby garlic butter vessels. The smash burger is also perfectly sized and at the $8 price point, hard to beat. But my heart is with the house made ricotta - a generous serving of whipped cheese drizzled with delicious olive oil and flakes of salt - So simple, yet SO good! HH is until 7pm and worth every penny!

The ambiance of The Gibson Room was sophisticated yet inviting, with attentive service that enhanced our overall enjoyment. Be warned that the lights are dimmed by a lot; I had to use my phone flashlight to read the menu but I did not care. I had the burger and I'm obsessed! So gooood. Whether you're a seasoned food enthusiast or simply looking for a remarkable meal, The Gibson Room is a must-visit. We left feeling satisfied, eagerly anticipating our next culinary adventure at this remarkable establishment.

We had an amazing time trying out the Miami spice menu. Live jazz music was a very pleasant surprise. Service was quick and super friendly. Food was delicious and portion sizes were perfect. The crispy duck leg was PERFECTLY crispy on the outside and super tender meat. The sweet potato dumpling things were insanely delicious--I'm definitely going to try to replicate! It's a little loud because of the music but it's a very chill atmosphere and we had no trouble talking and hearing eachother. Great date night spot for sure!

Yum! The Gibson Room is a perfect spot for an intimate date night. We loved the live jazz music, the service was impeccable, and the food was spot on. I loved the oysters, the escargot appetizer and the mango sorbet. I was not a huge fan on the duck entree - nothing wrong but also not something I'd order again. The schnitzel was a ok. Overall, it was a great experience but I would probably stick to drinks and apps.

Came for an early Saturday dinner and to take advantage of the Happy Hour specials, but Happy Hour is only at the bar. We still decided to sit at a table and started with their version of Old Fashioned's which were very good. They brought us a small starter with ricotta and jam was delicious. We ordered the croquetas which were dry and flavorless and at $16 for two are a definite skip. The crab salad was very good as were the stuffed dates. The beet salad with Brie cheese was amazing. We also shared the pork schnitzel which was very good. Overall we had a nice time because the place has a nice vibe and our server was excellent. There is only street parking which may be difficult during peak times.

The service was top notch; Oxtail Bourguignon with bone marrow was absolute comfort food -- just the right balance of depth and flavor. Drinks were well made and dessert was lovely. Live jazz music and dim lighting transports you to another time and place--you're no longer in Coral Way or even Miami for a moment. Kudos for having a Murillo art print up in the wall--love seeing alternatives to contemporary art.

Great ambience, intimate and romantic when you enter with candlelight's on the tables. And a piano in the corner We decided to do Miami spice. Prefix menu so we chose one of each item. The service was great. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and very sweet and she even told us on the weekend is the best From Thursday to Saturday. They have musicians that come in starting at 8 PM and the best way is to make a reservation at 6:37 eat and then sit back and enjoy live music which I think is wonderful. We will come back and try that again. can see my favorite was the oysters that we had was amazing and the crispy duck was the perfect crisp and the meat was juicy, and it was a great blend of greens, and the pierogi with the duck was stuffed with sweet potato, which I had never had, but it was a perfect blend with the duck and for dessert my favorite was the sticky toffee pudding! I am actually going to dream about it

Came here for a late night drink to celebrate leap year. I had never been here before and I did not try any food but I was intrigued by the ambience here. It feels like a cozy bar that is not too loud. The waitress told me they have music 5 days a week here, but when we showed up at 11pm on a Thursday the music had already stopped (no surprise there! It was a LATE night!). My husband and I each got a cocktail which is standard cocktail prices in Miami at this point and we were impressed with the richness to our drinks. They were very good. This is a great bar to have an elevated experience, and would come back to have another relaxing drink

I'm still dreaming of the food here! Sharing multiple dishes is the best way to experience the menu, which features imaginative iterations of familiar dishes. It makes so much sense when I found out that this restaurant is the latest creation from the Ariete Hospitality Group. Our server did an incredible job taking care of a group of six ladies eating + one having a drink. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and gave us a good idea of what each dish we were interested in was. She voluntarily offered to and expertly divided our checks according to who shared what dishes without any issues. Our water glasses were always checked on and refilled without asking.We shared Grilled Oysters that I could eat again and again because of its dense, broiled parmesan flavor. The Short Rib was as tender and full of flavor as I could have imagined, and its caramelized onion sauce was so heightened when we dipped crusty, buttered thick loaf bread in it. The Chicken Croquetas were worth it to order, more for the rooster shaped jar that they came in than the actual pieces. But they were packed with shredded chicken to make it satisfying enough to share half of one. I could do without the sweet peach chutney that it came with.The Hasselback Potato hides in the menu as a side dish, yet sits on an airy, creamy sauce that makes it a standout. The Big Ass Caesar Salad comes tossed in a vibrantly citrus accented dressing that I could eat anything with.I'm glad I snuck my spoon into the Sticky Toffee Pudding because believe it or not, I can't get over the density of the vanilla ice cream at the top of it!Happy hour runs from 5-7 PM at the bar, where carefully crafted signature cocktails are $10 each, along with select wines. The Espresso Martini is delightful to look at and drink---solid flavor and foam layering. The House Gibson is their martini, and the addition of a pearl onion garnish gives it another dimension of savory flavor.With live music, often jazz, playing on their stage almost every night, there are lots of reasons to come by here! Find me there again!
