Hi, I'm Harry, And I wanted to share my experience at…read morethe Fish House last Sunday night. They had advertised that pianist Stephen Mars's would be playing that night, so I checked out his music on line and got so excited to see him and hear some of his CD of Beatles music that I went with my girlfriend that night to see him. But I misunderstood the hours he was playing from 2-6 and believed he was playing from 6-9. So when we arrived there we were very disappointed to hear he was finished playing. So after we spoke to him for a little while explaining our disappointment, he went back up on stage and played some Beatles music for us and the other patrons despite his shift having ended. There was a pretty decent crowd and everyone loved it. Stephen is really a wonderful musician and truly an interesting and terrific guy! So I would highly recommend the music in The Backroom Live at the Fish House, particularly when Stephen Marks is performing there. Thanks Harry K.

Received a welcome shot! Already started off on the right foot…read more Went for the $50 Taste of the Gables All items listed below included Drink: Lychee Martini. It was STRONG. Good flavors. Only needed one. Entree: Apollo's Famous Prime Burger. I liked the burger, however, there was a strong taste of whatever method is used to cook the burger. I cant quite out my finger on it. It came with fries. They didnt have ketchup, but provided me with a cilantro sauce which actually paired better with the fries. Dessert: Vice City Tres Leches: DELICIOUS. Be ware if you cant finish it. They dont have a good method of it being to go due to how it's served. I did ask for a to go box anyways lol. Maybe try the to go box and see if they have saran wrap. The leche will escape the box. After dinner: French tea. Served hot in the most beautiful tea pot. I drank it as is. The live Jazz music was a bonus. We really enjoyed the music. They even performed a Bruno Mars song. A time was had. The staff was attentive and knowledgable. No complaints th I will be going back.

Armstrong Jazz House is one of those places you visit for the experience as much as the food…read more I came here for a surprise birthday dinner, and from the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping back in time. There was already a crowd outside waiting for the next seating, and once inside, the intimate setup immediately stood out. With only about a dozen tables, a tiny bar, and the rest of the room dedicated to the stage, it feels exclusive without being pretentious. We sat at the VIP table tucked off to the side. At first, I wondered if the view would be limited, but it ended up being one of the coolest seats in the house. Watching the performers through the side curtains gave everything a romantic, vintage feel, while looking out across the room made it feel like you were hosting the evening. A special shout-out to our server, Arlene. She was hilarious, quick-witted, attentive, and timed everything perfectly. She even brought dessert out at just the right moment so we could enjoy it while finishing the show without feeling rushed. The only disappointment was that the grill was down that evening, so most of the beef entrées weren't available. Thankfully, I had planned on ordering the salmon anyway, and it was cooked perfectly. Just know that if you're coming specifically for a steak, you may want to confirm availability first. The passion fruit cheesecake was much sweeter than I expected, but still delicious. And then there's the jazz. Miami doesn't have nearly enough places like this. The musicians were talented, and the atmosphere alone is worth the visit. If you're a serious jazz fan, you may wish there was a little more improvisation and a little less sticking to the standard arrangements. The vocalist was good, but none of the performances were particularly unforgettable. Still, that's not really why you come here. You come for an intimate room, live jazz, attentive service, great ambiance, and a memorable night out. Armstrong Jazz House absolutely delivers on that. I'll definitely be back.

Eh this place is okay. It's fun for a night out. Throughout the dinner they have a latin singer on…read morethe mic. It's decorated very cute in there. The drinks are okay but i would advise against having dinner here. The portions are SMALL. The Greek salad is so small; it's basically a cucumber and some olives. We had an order of the cod croquettes they were okay. They were out of the cheese ones. We were so hungry that afterwards we ordered a side of truffle fries to fill us up. Again, a very small, soggy portion. The burger actually looked quite good, but I did not try it. Other than that, at 11pm, the music started! It turned into a more fun clubby vibe. So, come for drinks and dancing, but not for food. Also, you need to go outside to get to the bathrooms which is different....

I had a wonderful date night at Calle Dragones in Miami with my wife on a Saturday evening. Since…read morewe arrived early, the restaurant was still quiet and empty, which made for a relaxed start to the night. Our server, Lianys, was phenomenal -- attentive, warm, and professional without ever being intrusive. She made excellent recommendations for both appetizers and main courses. The ambiance was casual elegant, and the live music added so much to the experience. A very talented band was playing, along with a young singer whose jazzy voice was absolutely beautiful. We ordered the black bean risotto and the Chino Latino fried rice, and both dishes were delicious, creative, and full of flavor. The prices were moderate for the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere, and the wine list, while modest, was very well priced. I especially recommend the Albariño, which was excellent quality at a very affordable price and, in my opinion, the best value on the list. Overall, it was a lovely and romantic night out, and Lianys was definitely the highlight of the evening.

So starting with the vibe/atmosphere 5/5 They really have such a beautiful location! The hostess quickly attended us and gave me a rose which was so sweet considering its Valentine's Day and my first as a wife so I got a keep sake cute touch. As for the entertainment throughly enjoyed the singer and band truly my favorite part to have a bottle of wine and have dinner to lovely music set. Service 4/4 Again it was Valentine's Day so the server was certainly busy but very sweet kind attentive so I'm sure it would be great on a normal day. Food 3.5/5 Here was where there was room for some improvement but I'm telling you I would still so go back to give it a shot on a non crazy busy day. We did have a limited menu for Valentine's Day still great options. We had the ceviche was my husbands favorite tasted very good and fresh. Dumplings which were supposed to be to be lechon but they didn't have any left so it was a mixed fish dumpling still good but wouldn't get it again specifically but I would opt to try the lechon one if it's available next time I go. Maripositas chinas was the slow roasted lechon with guava sauce that was my favorite! The guava sauce totally took it to the next level and a perfect temperature. Chino Latino rice that was sooooo delicious it also had pieces of maduro in it so hell yes! This could have been a little warmer but still delish and would get again. Last we got the churrasco steak but that was unfortunately not hot. I'll just sum that out to the hectic day being valentines but overall I look forward to going back again!

As we waited for a waitress, a fish dip and crackers "bread service" brought out, which was delicious. The mahi-mahi tacos with rice and beans were fresh and well-seasoned. For some reason, the rice and beans came out in little plastic cups which seemed unnecessary. Service was excruciatingly slow, and we felt neglected. It took at least 30 minutes to receive our meal after we ordered, and it took over 30 minutes after we finished our meal before the server returned.
