I have never written a Yelp review, but this experience deserves one. If I could give Sugar more…read morethan five stars, I absolutely would. My friends and I were celebrating my sister's birthday, and unfortunately the night wasn't going as planned and everyone including my sister was getting upset... I became overwhelmed, and before I even had to ask for help, two waitresses came over with napkins and asked if I was okay. A few moments later, Kirsten, the manager , came over, sat with me, gave me a hug, and genuinely listened while I explained what was going on. She didn't rush the conversation or make me feel like just another customer...she truly cared. She even invited me on a walk around the restaurant to help me calm down, reassuring me the entire time that everything was going to be okay. She showed me the beautiful Tea Room and encouraged me to bring my friends and sister over to enjoy it. That ended up being the highlight of our night. The views, atmosphere, and hospitality completely changed the mood for our entire group. From there, every member of the staff continued to make us feel welcome. The bartender kept us laughing, celebrated with us by pouring shots, and made the experience so much fun. The front host (I'm so sorry I forgot your name!) also checked in on us and made sure we were having a great time. Even the security guard went above and beyond... he held his flashlight up while we were taking pictures so we could have the best lighting for our photos. It may seem like a small gesture, but it perfectly showed how every single person on the team genuinely cared about making our night special. Before we left, Kirsten came back one last time just to make sure everyone was happy... I've been to a lot of restaurants, lounges, and clubs, but I've never experienced service like this, seriously. The staff at Sugar don't just provide great service... they genuinely care about people. That level of kindness is rare and honestly brings tears to my eyes, and it's something I'll never forget. Thank you, Kirsten, and the entire Sugar team, for turning what could have been a disappointing night into one of the most memorable experiences my friends, my sister, and I have ever had. We'll definitely be back. Thank you, genuinely.

When in Miami for a bachelorette party and you're the maid of honor, you have a lot of planning to…read moredo! The first restaurant I chose was Sugar, the rooftop bar. I coordinated ahead of time with the night manager regarding a prix fixe menu that included drinks for our group of 20 ladies. When we arrived, there was unfortunately some confusion. From our prior conversations, I don't recall it being explained that it would be more of a sit-and-stand dinner setup. The space itself was beautiful, but it felt more suited for cocktails rather than a seated dinner for a large group. We were offered another option at the Tea Room on the other side, which had more dining space. I will say the food was excellent--Asian tapas-style cuisine and everything we tried was very good. However, there still weren't enough seats for everyone, and two bridesmaids and I ended up standing for most of the dinner. They did eventually bring out two chairs, but by that point I was already a bit frustrated. Another challenge was communication with the staff. We were being charged for sparkling water when we had asked for regular water, which should have been included with our meal. I also had to remind them that our package included two drinks per person. The drinks came out slowly, while the food came out quickly. I understand accommodating a group of 20 can be challenging, and overall everything worked out with a few bumps along the way. That said, the food really was excellent. I would definitely come back but with a much smaller group or for a date night.

Rum Room checked every box, and I have my friend (and the wonderful John and Adam) to thank for it. I had a 5:30pm reservation and my friends arrived before me. They were welcomed into a classy, living room-like space with comfy chairs and a center table -- exactly the laid-back-yet-chic ambiance I was looking for. They had drinks and ordered a few bites, after all, it was happy hour! When I arrived, we moved to a six-seat table that was perfect for face-to-face conversation. We could have sat outside to watch the Miami sunset, but opted for a cozier indoor spot instead. I ordered my favorite drink, a Manhattan, and John was kind enough to suggest two versions, classic and one made with rum instead of whiskey. The rum version was a surprise hit that everyone had to try. I'm still loyal to the traditional recipe, but it was a fun twist, especially on my birthday! The food was outstanding. Their ceviche had a mysterious sauce that sparked a whole conversation, the truffle fries were perfectly made, and the fish dip nachos served with plantain chips were my personal favorite. They kept our cake refrigerated and helped my friend set up the candles when it was time to sing, such a thoughtful touch. Service was attentive throughout. Water glasses constantly refilled and empty plates promptly cleaned. They also validated our parking, making it just $2/hour at the convention center right across the street. Since the World Cup is happening in Miami, we snap a photo with one of the balls placed in front of the restaurant honoring Algeria. A perfect ending to a perfect night. After all, life is about living and documenting the good moments. Rum Room helped us do exactly that.

Every bar had lines out the door, and honestly it was so fun to see. Eventually, our group of 9 made it into Black Market in time for the Argentina game at 10 pm. It was a vibe.

During breaks there was a DJ that would play party music which added to the vibes. It was a fun spot to watch a game. It's also huge, and that makes it perfect for groups. When it was packed, there was bouncer letting people in but it still didn't take much time for our group to be let in and there was no cover.
