We walked through the lobby to the restaurant, which is situated overlooking the Haulover inlet (far enough away from the nude beach so your meal is not ruined, LOL!). There is indoor and outdoor seating; both have great views. You can also sit at the bar. The vibe is upscale nautical. The server was great; friendly and just attentive enough! We opted to sit inside as the humidity level was near 100% and there were storm clouds brewing. If you opt to sit inside, bring a cover up as the AC is working very well here! During our meal, the usual afternoon storm arrived and provided a dramatic show, complete with theatrical lightning! We had the ceviche and watermelon feta salad to start. The ceviche was super fresh and beautifully tart. The watermelon on the salad was at peak ripeness! Next, we had the chipotle rubbed shrimp tacos - two tacos with two giant shrimp nestled inside alongside avocado. I did not partake of the cheeseburger, but Larry needed a nap when we got home, so I think it did it's job. The fries that came with it were excellent. I'm not a fan of flan - I dislike the texture - but the taste and presentation were beautiful. The sorbet was a surprising standout. They were out of blood orange, so I was offered mango or lime instead. I have a mango tree that fruits all summer and I am sick of mango at this point, so I opted for lime. It was unbelievably delicious! Tart, creamy even though it's dairy free, absolutely refreshing! In all, Artisan serves basic food executed very well in a beautiful setting with expert service. Well worth it!

Lovely staff all around attentive, warm, and professional. The ambiance inside was on the quieter side and felt a bit stale, with not many people around, but still pleasant. We chose to sit outside for the much nicer view, which definitely elevated the experience. We decided to try the Miami Spice menu, honestly, that's the main reason we picked this spot and it turned out to be a great deal. From appetizers to dessert, everything was enjoyable. While there wasn't a standout "wow" moment with the food, there were no disappointments either just a solid, satisfying lunch. Outside of the Miami Spice pricing, the regular menu does lean on the higher side, so for us, this special menu made it well worth it. Overall, it was a nice afternoon out with good food, great service, and a beautiful view.

While I'd not visited Porterhouse before, when we came here recently we actually considered it a happy find. We were in Aventura looking for a late dinner spot on a Thursday, and were originally planning to go to Houston's, but noted it closes early. An internet search for steakhouses turned up Porterhouse which was open until late, so we decided to check it out. They sat us right away, together on a couch at a table usually meant for 4 and we were given the food menu, cocktail menu and their wine list. We decided to start with a cocktail, which were well-poured and reasonably priced. We then ordered the burrata and toasted bread as an appetizer, and for our entrees we requested the NY strip, branzino fish, mac & cheese and asparagus, all to share. We also had a bottle of wine with dinner. Everything we had was good, and the service was attentive throughout our time here. The only real disappointments were: 1) The sparse presentation of the burrata salad (see photo). It was described in the menu as "creamy 4 oz burrata served with heirloom tomato, ripe peaches, olive oil, white balsamic reduction and fresh graded hazelnuts topped with micro greens". What we were served was just a ball of burrata with some un-ripe tomato wedges and a sprinkling of nuts, but the presentation was certainly lacking vs. many other restaurants that offer that dish. 2) I personally found the branzino to be a bit flavorless, again, comparing that fish here to what we've had elsewhere. Aside from those few notes, everything we had was fine, and the NY strip was VERY flavorful and tender. Prices here are more or less in-line with other better steakhouses in the Miami area, but we were surprised by how reasonably priced some of their wines were at Porterhouse compared to many other restaurants. Their wine pricing alone may be enough to lure us back. This restaurant was listed as being open until 2 a.m. that night, but surprisingly, they began calling last call for the kitchen a few hours before that. Also, note they include an automatic 20% service charge on all checks. We chose to sit on the patio in front (which was great with the ocean breeze and the view of the waterfalls in front of the buildings across from this place), but when I went inside to use the restroom it looked quite lively and fun, and next time we may choose to sit at the bar. They had karaoke on that night and then changed to a DJ, and the very large bar and indoor dining area were quite full and the patrons appeared to be having a good time.

After getting your wristband you have to go up an elevator to get to the restaurant, which is really no a requirement, but a buffet where you have to forage around for your food. We were there for lunch so though they had good looking meats we couldn't have any unless we waited for dinner and paid an extra fee. The buffet area was crowded, mostly with unruly, loud, unsupervised children. The available food didn't amount to much either. Some smoked salmon,,ropa vieje, cooked salmon, salads, etc., but nothing exceptional except the $180 price tab for two with two drinks. Outrageous for what we had.
