Two Chef's

I came to TwoChefs to take advantage of the Miami Spice menu ($35 per person) on a slow Wednesday afternoon. To start we had the lump crab cakes. They were very good, tender and topped with a Parmesan aioli. The entrees were a cold shrimp salad with tomato and cucumber, and a fettuccine pasta with bacon and mushroom. These were "ok" but not outstanding. For dessert my wife had a moist carrot cake which she enjoyed. For me, the high point of my lunch was the chocolate soufflé. It came out moist and piping hot (I think it was freshly baked?). Served with a creme sauce on the side, it was heavenly! The restaurant has a nice formal (but not too much) and parking was easy to find. Lastly a shout out to our server Michelle. She was so friendly and attentive! I would recommend TwoChefs

I was in South Miami and needed to kill some time. They were kind to seat me without a reservation. The first two courses were perfectly fine and the food was delicious. The. The wheels came off the wagon. After the entree the waitress disappeared for an extremely long time. I figured they were cooking souflees. My dessert came. I ate it slowly and enjoyed it. I didn't see my waitress for another very uncomfortable amount of time. I put a bill down by my plate trying to imply that I was ready to go. Finally I asked another wait person to ask her to bring the check. She came. Didn't immediately take the check back. Returned after another five minutes and then disappeared-again. I think this time between finishing my entree and leaving the restaurant was over an hour. So much for a relaxed leisurely meal. It past time to be where I needed to be. So the meal started at 630 and went past 9. When she finally arrived with change I asked her what went wrong. She said she didn't have change to give me. Had I been involved in this discussion I would have been ok to have paid with a credit card.She took what was a really nice meal and made it one of the most uncomfortable hours I have ever experienced and I lived for a year in Spain where they were very slow to bring the check. She beat everybody.What a shame because the food was delicious.

When I called to make the reservation, the associate was brusque and seemed annoyed. When we arrived, and throughout the course of our meal, there was no host. (Even after being seated, we saw multiple parties share the same fate of being ignored at the host stand.) We stood at the host stand for a good five minutes before anyone even acknowledged us even though there was a bartender and several servers working in full view of us. A simple, "we will be right with you" would have gone a long way.Ambience is very dated with dining tables and chairs looking like a grandparent's house. And framed articles featuring the establishment lining the walls by the restrooms are from 1999, 2005, etc. Once seated, it took some time for our server to greet us as he was serving a party of 12. There was no real greeting on his part, no attempt to offer any specials, just the requisite, "Can I get you something to drink?" Even though it was obvious he was overwhelmed with the large party and us (party of 3), he proceeded to get sat a 6-top, a 2-top and more tables in the other dining room, thus aggravating his already weak service.We ordered and food came out relatively quickly and was generally good. (The only reason for any stars.) We had the grilled flatbread for appetizer and burgers for entrees. We had asked for mayo but were brought mustard instead and not enough ketchup either. We asked for salt and he brought the shaker. Not 5 minutes later, he came to take it to give to another table! What restaurant doesn't have enough salt and pepper shakers for each table?!? Refills went empty as he, alone, was running all the orders for his 12-top. At no time did we see food runners or bussers or even a manager to help. Another guest even stopped my daughter on her way to the restroom and asked if she was a manager. I can only assume we were not alone in this disappointing experience.For dessert, the souffle was very good but the carrot cake was terrible.I feel from the other reviews that this establishment gets by on their souffles and accept this level of service because they are a mom-and-pop business. This overall lack of service and complete absence of management would be unacceptable at a corporately run eatery.

I've dined here twice, both times for a work related function and both times the meal was excellent.the three course meal portions are just right for a light, but satisfying lunch. This time around I had the tuna tartare(excellent) and the Bronzino, which was cooked to perfection. I packed the dessert to go since I'm trying to stick to my diet, but the rest of the party raved about the chocolate soufflé. I'll definitely return one day with the family!

Food and ambience. Service was good but I was expecting more. Will definitely come back

This is two reviews at once having been there in August and again last Saturday 9/16. Had to return soon besides being an enjoyable place, their Miami Spice is one of the best if not the best. Most of their menu is on the Spice selections including their fabulous dessert souffles. For instance had the meatloaf special main dish which is always fanatastic, and the shrimp pasta. Came back and again repeated the sauteed shrimp pasta, and tried the seared tuna entree. Was extremely impressed with the seared tuna in presentation and definitely in taste. Came with a very unique hash browns that was great. Actually the combination was both unique and just great.And of couse finished with a pistachio souffle and a grand marnier one. Best souffles around.Only thing is think their AC could use a boost somehow, place can be a bit uncomfortable when full in our Miami heat.

A group of ten of us arrived for a special occasion. I have to admit that part of the appeal for the event planners was a bit of spending damage control, as there is an option to select a 3-course meal for $48. Not everyone stuck to the plan, of course, but it helped overall from rash over-ordering, TwoChefs is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking, so was convenient for all. You walk right into the bar area. The bartender was quick to serve and very pleasant to our group, starting the evening off right. We eventually made it overnto our table. The decor wasn't particularly special, but the white tablecloths amped up the overall ambiance. There was not a single complaint from anyone! At the end of the night. Special mentions went to the crab cake appetizer, which was an upcharge from the special--even the two from Maryland gave their stamp of approval. Several got the baked onion soup which was deliciously cheesy, and the classic Caesar salad was a pleaser. For the mains, the sautéed shrimp fettuccine got the most hits. The shrimp were large and tender. The seared tuna was several with a flavorful couscous and the sun dried tomatoes gave it the perfect touch. Two got the mixed Asopao and declared it a hit. The chicken beast with bacon, onion and feta normally comes with fingerling potatoes, but our Keto girl was able to swap them out for fresh vegetables and she was very happy. I personally had the Two Chefs meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I am just now noting that I didn't see any black bean BBQ, and the dish came with asparagus, which is isn't noted on the menu. Despite this glitch, the meal was truly comfort food at its best. I noticed so many of the group complimenting the food to the waiter as he cleared away plates. The only "just okay" dish was my husbands NY strip, which had a $15 upcharge on the 3-course special. His advise was go to a steakhouse for steak. Anyway, every single one of us got a Grand Mariner, Chocolate, or Pistachio soufflé with crème anglaise. They were an awesome perfection. It's not often that you can truly please everyone in a large group, but I'm rating Two Chefs with 5 stars because the chefs accomplished the task with praise.

Best in Miami! Service, Menu selections, ambiance, curtesy, and a spectacular bar! Hi

We have been coming to Two Chefs for years. The cocktails are fantastic and the food is always on point. They have been around for at least 20 years so that says something, especially in Miami. They serve the best soufflés in Miami and with Miami Spice going on it's a great time to go if you have never been to Two Chefs.The restaurant is located in a strip mall off US1 and has lots of parking.

If you want a small, quiet, casual elegant restaurant with very good food at a reasonable price this is it in South Miami. The food is consistently good. The branzino was excellent. I love a crisp skin on my fish and however it was seasoned was delicious. Served on top of a small tomato salad which was a nice contrast. Of course, I ordered my all time favorite side dish potato croquettes. Their menu is not extensive, nor has it changed much over the years. But we never lack for something different each time and we have never been disappointed with our meal. The service can be slow because it is small restaurant, so enjoy your wine or cocktail. It has to be among my favorites because it is a place I can relax and have a good meal.
