Last Miami Spice stop before end of month and a good way to end two months a fine dining and indulging in some of the best food in Miami. The restaurant is located at the St Regis which is just a stunning hotel and the entrance lobby is gorgeous. Can't necessarily say the same for this restaurant because truth be told, it was a little underwhelming as far as the vibes is concerned. It might be too lit as far as the actual lighting is concerned or the mostly white aesthetic but it didn't work for me, personally. Now as far as service and food, well that's a different story. Yoel, the server, was most professional, helpful and knowledgeable but especially attentive at all times. So let's discuss the food and drink options I opted for... ST REGIS GARDENS: wasn't my favorite; very refreshing but lacking a good punch. APHRODITE: this one was way better, spicy, tasty and packing a good punch. That jalapeño and Tajín on the rim made the difference. GRILLED OCTOPUS: the kalamata olive sauce on the side is fire: octopus cooked to perfection with confit potatoes...spectacular BRANZINO A LA BRIAM: Branzino couldn't have been cooked any better with golden potatoes on the side. Now the prawn pasta was an option and I looked at some photos on Yelp: portions were small, supposedly. When I tell you my friend showed up later on and her table ordered the pasta and I was mad at how delicious and generous the portion was but when does that happen? Fish was good but pasta was better, way better; I'd go for that instead. LEMON OLIVE CAKE: I've only tasted one other olive cake elsewhere and it was a little better. This one was on the drier side but not the worst. Once again, service was superb, food was really good but it wasn't a memorable dining experience. They validate your valet parking ticket so you only pay $15 for parking plus tip so keep that in mind.

TLDR: Awesome breakfast buffet with nice breakfast/brunch items and a cook who makes customizable omelettes for you, but definitely on the pricier side at $45 per person. Love the themed restaurant that makes you feel like you're in Greece. FOOD: Had a huge assortment of items from oatmeal/chia seed pudding/yogurt to cereals to bakery items to various Mediterranean foods to hot breakfast foods (eggs, meats, omelettes, etc) to fruits/berries/fresh juices. Really everything you could imagine, and there was a little something for everyone. If you have a big appetite, the cost for the buffet will still definitely be worth it, and as someone who tried to stay healthy while eating breakfast I was still able to find plenty of options for myself. ENVIRONMENT & AMBIANCE: The inside of the restaurant is this beautiful white and blue theme that, combined with the Miami weather, make you feel like you just walked into a little section of Greece. Everything felt very bright, vibrant, Mediterranean. SERVICE: I thought the service wasn't as top notch, but it was still fine, and we mostly served ourselves at the breakfast buffet anyway. OTHER: The St. Regis has valet parking that you can get validated.

Miami Spice 2022: The crispy octopus appetizer at Atlantikos is one of the best octopus dishes I've ever had! I would return for this dish alone. For my main dish, I ordered the cauliflower entree and was a bit disappointed with the size. It is a cauliflower dish, not too expensive, so why was it smaller than the branzino or the lamb burger? It was tasty but nothing out of this world. My friend really enjoyed his branzino so I would return to try that one next time. For dessert we ordered the lemon olive oil cake and it was delicious, although a bit dry. Was very tasty when mixed in with the dollops of cream garnished on the dish. Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal and I would return to try more of the menu.

I came here to try the Miami Spice lunch. The first thing that I was struck by upon entering was the decor. The tabletops are laden with precious stones and everything is in hues of blue and white, reminiscent of Greek culture. My guest and I tried the following items from the menu: fennel orange salad, pumpkin soup, salmon, baklava tart, and lemon olive oil cake. I would suggest the soup as an appetizer and the olive oil cake for dessert. The salmon was perfectly well done just how I like it. I appreciated that our server, Johan, asked how I would like it cooked. Most places don't. He made sure we had a very pleasant dining experience. I would definitely recommend coming for lunch or any other meal.

We came to Atlanktiko's for the Miami Spice menu. We had a reservation for 2:00pm on Sunday afternoon, highly suggest making a reservation because shortly after we arrived the restaurant filled up very quickly. The restaurant itself is beautiful! It is has a fresh and fun atmosphere that is styled after Greece. There are large windows overlooking the hotel pool and plenty of sunlight coming through. Upon being seated we asked for waters and started looking over the menu. The Miami Spice menu has great offerings this year and does include a few cocktail options as well as beer and wine. I started with a glass of the Ktima Gerovassiliou Viognier and my boyfriend ordered the Grecian Old Fashioned. After a bit of a wait our drinks were brought out to us, however my boyfriend received the Santorini Negroni by mistake. We weren't quite sure it was the wrong drink at first and tasted it. Although it was delightful, he really wanted the correct drink so we sent it back. The Viongier was wonderful and had a nice crisp tartness to it. The Old Fashioned was also very tasty but a bit on the sweeter side. For our meals we started off with the Braised Lamb Meatballs and the Crispy Octopus and Potatoes. The meatballs were incredible, tons of flavor and the Greek yogurt added a wonderful tart bite to the dish. The octopus was cooked perfectly and I really loved the piquillo pepper aioli it was served with. As an entrée we ordered the Grilled Branzino and the Oven Roasted Lamb Chop. Both entrees were cooked very well, I preferred the tangy flavor of the lamb chop but the Branzino was delicious as well and I loved the veggies served with it. The desserts honestly stole the show. The Baklava Tart was sweet and crispy and the Vanilla Yogurt Panna Cotta was HUGE and so light and creamy. I honestly was way too full for dessert by the time they came but they were incredible and we finished them both! Overall the food was really delicious and the atmosphere was great. The service could have been better. We had to ask for water multiple times and I don't believe a server ever asked us if we were enjoying the food at all. When we were brought the wrong cocktail we had to stop someone to switch it out because no one every came to check on the table. I would return again for the food but I would just know ahead of time not to expect super great service.

Came for a business lunch. Valet only no parking, unless you want to park across the street at Bal Harbour Shops and walk over. We had made reservations just incase but they weren't very busy so I don't think it's necessary. We tried their Miami Spice menu, everything was very good. The sea bass was delicious, I would've never thought olives would taste so good with it!! The panna cotta was just ok, but their baklava desert delicious! They're located right on the hotel pool, luckily it was an overcast day so it was very quiet outside however not sure how it would be when it's packed.

First there is only valet parking which is $15 plus tax, there is parking across the street at the mall. When you walk in you gave to take the elevator downstairs towards the pool area for the restaurant. We were seated right away (had a rsvp) plus it was in the afternoon on the middle of the week. Service was really good, glasses were kept full, plates taken away in a timely manner. Gratuity is included on the bill already. Drinks were a little on the high end $30 for a basic gin and tonic. Overall a good experience.

I went on Sunday for the advertised buffet - the one offered on their website. Yep, I went for that one but it didn't exist and was closed until season starts. You would think a hotel like the St. Regis would update their information as that's really not difficult to do. Okay so we had to settle for eating poolside (with a limited view of the ocean and a limited menu) and really the only thing that saved the afternoon was the great friendly service. Pancakes were served with some blueberry like topping that was really too sweet to eat. It was also served with Maple Syrup that was actually a blend of Maple Syrup. Come on in a St. Regis Restaurant I'm served second rate non pure maple syrup and this after paying $27 (before tip and tax) for the small portion of pancakes and that cheap pancake downgrading move is just wrong. We also had the Nova Avocado Toast and this was very good and at $25 it was a generous portion with a large serving of salmon that was better than most places. Also I think the bread was from Sullivan Street Bakery and you can't go wrong with their baked goods. Appetizers were fine and better than other pool side hotel restaurants. Drinks were also better than many other local hotels. The bottom line is that the service component is so important and that's where St. Regis excelled and made what could have been a poor experience into something that was okay.

Oh wow. This restaurant is worth navigating the Bar Harbour traffic and the $15 valet at the St. Regis Hotel! We made a reservation for a Miami Spice lunch and realized we barely needed a reservation when only one party was dining on the inside of the restaurant, which by the way, had a cool blue, Greek isle presentation. No host was at the podium, so my reservation was marked as a no show online, but I was able to rectify that with the system later. We caught one server's attention (who turned out to be our table server Rachid) from a distance and were seated outside. I highly recommend sitting outside if the weather permits! The patio is directly poolside and is surrounded by beautiful greenery and whitewashed walls, lending to a sunny setting that is the ideal al fresco experience. Each table has an umbrella which should provide adequate shade if you choose the right seat. It was also fun to people watch the hotel guests who were at the pool. Our server Rachid was incredibly knowledgable about the menu and told us the Miami Spice menu was a great one because it has great portions of delicious dishes. He did not lie at all, because we sat back with completely satisfied grins after each course we had. We were so stuffed that we didn't eat anything for 7 hours after the meal lol! He loved the braised lamb meatballs, which were seasoned well enough to hold off the unpleasant lamb odor but still retain the meaty flavor of it. The tomato sofrito was more of a marinara (not complaining at all) and was completed with the greek yogurt and mint dressing. Those Greek components all came together to still make the meatballs seem Italian and familiar. The crispy octopus was incredible. I still wonder, how did they make the octopus so tender while creating and maintaining a crispy outside? The piquillo pepper aioli had just a touch of creaminess and packed enough red pepper flavor to complement the octopus in small amounts. The watercress that dressed it gave the dish elegance and freshness. The lamb chop was grilled wonderfully to create a crispy exterior while tenderizing the meat and fat layers. We had no idea what the green puree was that was at the base of the dish (I now know it is English pea and chickpea puree), but it enveloped and cut the fattiness of the meat for a milder, digestible taste. The grilled branzino was large in portion (pretty much an entire fillet) and had a variety of tastes and textures to enjoy in separate bites. The acidity of the sherry vinegar seasoning was tapered by the sweetness of the roasted piquillo pepper while giving way to the crispy skin of the fish. He doesn't typically like fish skin (I do, give that to me all day!), but he really liked the crispy skin-on presentation. Our desserts continued the high notes of the meal. The baklava tart was wonderfully chock full of nuts and brown sugar filling, despite its thinness, and its warm temperature made it comforting to eat with the honey ice cream. I wish I had more honey ice cream to eat on its own and with the tart before it started rapidly melting! The vanilla yogurt panna cotta was literally a bowl of amazing gelatin creaminess. The panna cotta itself had lovely vanilla flavor with a hint of tartness that reminds you that it has yogurt, but it also had a splendid crunchy granola topping and perfectly roasted and softened peaches that made it into a parfait in a bowl. If you ever have a date to impress or families wanting solid upscale food with beautiful outdoor dining, come here! The walk through the gorgeous lobby of the St. Regis will convince you enough that you made the right choice!

Best Sunday brunch in Miami, with great service and a gorgeous setting. It's hard to know where to begin this place was so terrific for food, service and ambience. The food was just amazingly good. For a starter, watermelon cubes with pumpkin seeds and raspberry sauce sounded like an odd combo, but was so good I want to try to make it myself! The main course was perfectly cooked salmon wrapped in a grape leaf on a bed of orzo (a fun Greek cuisine way to present salmon, and it was very VERY good). The desert was worth the extra hour on the stair master to burn off the calorie count: caramelized pear tart on a cream-soaked sponge bread. The service was even better than the excellent food. Front desk check-in was a breeze, she even recognized me from the Open Table reservation picture. I have never had this happen in a restaurant before, but was greeted by name by the waitstaff as well. With split second precision, coffee got filled as soon as down to next to last sip, an empty plate got whisked away immediately...just perfect service. The setting can best be described as Mykonos meets Miami Modern. It's beautifully designed with mostly white on white surfaces and accents of royal blue. Even the tabletops were beautiful (split blue geodes in clear acrylic). The floor to ceiling windows make for not a bad seat in the house, as every table looks out over a very sleekly designed pool area to the Atlantic. The St Regis Bal Harbour, where the restaurant is located, is now owned by a Qatari luxury property group. Trust me, you'll feel like a king/emir/emperor/maharajah/sultan/etc eating here...

Food was absolutely delicious. Salmon cooked to medium temperature as requested. Our server was not too friendly, but we enjoyed our time there anyway. Outside seating with the pool overview was nice.

Awesome service every morning while I stayed at the hotel coffee was incredibly fresh and good every day. The Buffay breakfast was very very good I highly recommend you try while in town!

IMPECCABLE service! Every single staff member is absolutely phenomenal. Restaurant is located inside the St. Regis so I did also pay to valet for $15. I made reservations for outdoor seating but the weather was windy/rainy so we sat indoors. The restaurant is bright and fresh and exceptionally clean. My party felt as close to Greece as we could possibly be for lunch. I requested Miami Spice menus as well as the regular menu and opted to order from both. This place is definitely not cheap but you get what you pay for! Incredible food and service. Lamb meatballs were excellent. One of the best meatball dishes I've ever tried and this was my first time trying lamb meatballs. I have a rule of thumb to always order lamb chops if they are on the menu so I ordered that as the entree. These chops are on the fattier side but the portion side was larger than anticipated considering it's an entree for Miami Spice. Huge value! Chicken skewers were juicy and flavorful. Panna Cotta was THE BEST I have ever had (And I've been to Italy)! Decadent, and again, a larger portion size than I had anticipated. Baklava tart was on the drier side but paired well with the honey ice cream. My party expected smaller dessert portions so we also ordered the lemon olive oil cake off the regular menu and it was delicious. Fresh, warm, aromatic, and the Greek yogurt sorbet was a perfect pairing. My server, Antoine, took the time to answer my various questions regarding recommendations for cocktails as well as other menu questions. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and kind. Thank you again, Antoine! Note that because Atlantikos is inside the St. Regis, you will be charged an 18% service charge regardless of party size. You will also be charged additional local taxes. Overall, HIGHLY recommend. 5/5 stars. The food was wonderful but the ambiance and service truly make this a 10/10!
