    Came to Boteco to watch the Brazil vs. Japan FIFA match. First, the positives: the service staff was friendly, attentive, and did their best. The food was good, and while it took a little longer than usual to arrive, that's understandable considering how busy the restaurant was during the game. Unfortunately, management dropped the ball in several areas. For a major soccer match, basic preparation should have been a priority. The outdoor area was extremely hot, despite having fans installed. The problem? Many of the fans weren't working because there weren't enough electrical outlets available. This should have been tested and resolved before customers arrived. To make matters worse, the restaurant was using some of the cheapest plastic forks and knives imaginable. If you're charging restaurant prices, at least provide utensils that can actually handle the food. A quick trip to Dollar Tree would have solved that problem. The staff worked hard and the food was enjoyable, but management failed to properly prepare for a high-attendance event. That's disappointing because the issues were entirely preventable. Boteco has great potential, but management needs to do a much better job planning and executing on game days.

    It was amazing, the food was one of the top Brazilian foods I've tried in the USA, everything tasted perfectly and the service was super friendly and attentive, the place is super interesting and beautiful as well.

    For a fun time dancing and laughing in Brazilian style and listen to live music then this would be the place to come. The food is like every day home style and good and not fancy but great vibes this place does have. Must try the coxinha de frango for they are delicious. And even if you sit inside and dine, you can join the party group outside and dance to the rhythm of the drums. The staff is very friendly.

    Looking for dinner late on a Monday and this spot was open, so we decided to check it out! Was pleasantly surprised by the food and portions, our salads were incredible. The vibe was super casual, and very enjoyable! Outdoor seating that is covered, and we were able to bring our dog. Our service was quick, there is a 20% gratuity included. Free parking, but it was a weeknight.

    Another spot near me that has taken over 4 years for me to finally try. I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for some drinks and light bites. The only parking was $7 valet. It was super lively inside. Loud music was playing. Soccer was on the tv. There was an interesting mix of single guys there just hanging out and families there for the feijoada buffet. We sat at the bar. The bartender working was very friendly and attentive. The drinks and food were very good. If you're looking for a light snack, I recommend the meat skewers and garlic French fries. I'd like to return soon to try the feijoada buffet, and will update my review when I do.

    Such a fun place! We were looking for food at 11pm on a Saturday night and found this place which delivered on food and music! While we didnt understand the music (all in Portuguese) we still had a ton of fun watching the singer bounce around the bar dancing with the crowd. The coxinhas were a lot smaller than I am used to, but they were very tasty. Apparently the oven for the pão de queijo was not working that day so I unfortunately did not get to try this :( and went with the bolinhas de bacalao instead. It was pretty fishy and wont be my first choice next time. The chicken skewers were so flavorful and juicy with the onion and green peppers complimenting the chicken. The rest of the table's entrees were very seasoned, sometimes being a bit too salty. I would be willing to go back to try more of the menu. P.s. music was very loud so if you don't enjoy that sort of stuff, you can always sit inside. It was pretty mild in there :)

My main go to's are: Borti Pasta Bar for their authentic and fresh pasta and sauce, my favorite is the Gorgonzola Gnocchi. Portions are large and everything is fresh made to order! Manjay has the best jerk chicken in Miami. Generous portions and the workers are very accommodating! Poke-San always has fresh and delicious poke and sushi variety Dona Posada has an amazing bakery selection! My hits that I have gotten several times are the guava and white chocolate chip cookies, all the brownie selections are amazing, and the Nutella cheesecake is to die for! Everywhere's happy hour bites and drinks are worth going for!

    I really wanted to love Citadel, but my overall experience left me with mixed feelings…read more On the positive side: the food was good, and the cleaning staff were extremely friendly, though clearly understaffed for the volume of people the place gets. That said, several things impacted my experience. It was very hot inside and packed with people, which makes it nearly impossible for the staff to provide good service. The exhaust/ventilation system doesn't seem sufficient for how busy the space gets, so you end up leaving with your hair and clothes smelling like food. The terrace looks lovely, but with Miami heat (easily 90°F), sitting outside isn't really a comfortable option. Lastly, most of the seating is uncomfortable, which doesn't help when the atmosphere is already overwhelming. Sorry, this is a place that I won't go back.

    Cute lil place. They seen to have a nice schedule of weekly events. While on vacation my family and…read moreI had dinner here. It was their trivia night, I believe there was a $1500 pot if you win. Everyone seemed to be playing. We arrived to late to join. The place was packed yet there were only two servers. Our server was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. However she managed to keep up with out party of 9. There were times we were waiting for assistance however we could see she wasn't just sitting on her ass. We order burgers, flat breads, tenders and steak tacos. Steak tacos were horrible Burgers were delicious Flatbread were good Tenders definitely looked like they were frozen tenders from the grocer. The beverages were nice not too strong but not weak. We were kinda profiled however as a black person you get use to it. My husband and brother stepped out for a smoke break..although everyone else was still seated at the table. We watched security run out after them. We laughed cause they looked stupid. When security ran out there they pretended to be looking at something when they noticed they guys were right outside the door. Irish pub we didn't expect any less. However it was kinds funny how the guy darted out after them then aimlessly looked around after he realized they were smoking a cigarette ‍

    I wanted to write this place off as a touristy haunt given its location and its typical South Beach…read moreprices, but we had a really good experience here. I realized that I had not actually been to this location since it was The Playwright (or whatever it was called) 4 or 5 years ago. The updated interior is nice - very "pubby" - and they offer a good variety of seating from bar seats to high-tops to couches. Two things here that were standouts: First, the burger is one of the best burgers I've had on South Beach. So much so that I'm craving it again this morning. They've done a good job with the menu in that it still has all those bar foods that you look for in a place like this, but they've put some thought into elevating a number of items (e.g. the short rib poutine!) Second, the service was great. Our server (sorry, can't remember his name - a nice guy from Kendall) was very friendly and provided excellent service. As many reviews mention, this is definitely a place to watch a game. While we weren't there for this purpose last night, the TV setup is great and I could def see myself camping out there with a few beers on a weekend afternoon. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I'll be back again for sure.
