    Chef Mueller and me
    Donna B.

    Ok I'm totally bias on this one. Chef Mueller had Composition in Reno a few years ago. I loved his weekly changing small plate menu. So much I believe I ate there weekly. When I discovered we'd be driving near his current restaurant in Miami Beach, I made a point to stop in, eat and say hi What a great open air restaurant. It's all the way to the back of the hotel next to the pool along the ocean. Very modern decor that will soon be having some renovations. When we arrived Chef met us and had us seated. I asked for suggestions. He recommended just about anything on the menu. We shared a couple of plates. The bacon cheeseburger was just as juicy as I remember- two napkin juicy. The fish tacos were huge, crunchy and buttery. I have to say better than the ones at DJ Clams in Key West. Topped the afternoon off with the chocolate bomb. I could have sampled the entire menu to bring back memories of his flavors. The service was fantastic, waters always full and empty plates picked up quickly. I recommend if in the area check it out and say hi to Chef Mueller

    Great service , awesome buffet. Sweetest fruit. Being a southern lady , Oatmeal is a staple,so I'm always an oatmeal sceptic in restaurants, but , it was delicious. The coffee, the bread, the meat, the eggs, quesadillas, oops I'm too full.

    Mad Men decor vibe

    Let me start off by saying I have yet to have a meal here but I have had several signature cocktails and let me tell you they were all a tasty success! My favorite was the Janeiro, if you like a little bubbly in your drink like I do, than you will want to make this your first selection. This cocktail not only delivered on taste but smell as well with a few crushed leaves of rosemary topping off the little pool of prosecco bubbles The light scent of rosemary right before you take each sip is so refreshing and adds another dimension to this drink. The Floridian was also a great sipping experience and offered a sweeter pop to my palate. The decor of the bar and restaurant is a straight up modern take on a Mad Men vibe. That vibe is carried out not only in the restaurant but throughout the breeze way of the James Hotel as well. So if you are looking for a chill place to take down a few libations and appreciate a retro surrounding, then stop by the James Royal Palm Hotel. I can't wait to return to the FC to sample their delicious menu offerings. http://www.florida-cookery.com/menus/dinner/

    What can I say!? This place is great!!! We had dinner reservations there in celebration of our 17th anniversary. The entire staff makes sure you feel welcomed and comfortable. The restaurant itself is located in the James Royal Palm hotel. It's a very sophisticated and inviting atmosphere. We were warmly greeted by the hostess upon arrival. The teamwork between Jaela, Matthew and Davis, was outstanding. They made sure everything was well at all times and helped to make our anniversary special. We ordered the empanada appetizers, as well as the guava glazed ribs. Our entrées were super delicious. Especially the grilled Cobia with a yuca patty accompanied with one of the most flavorful curry sauces I've ever tried. My compliments to the chef! For dessert we tried a chocolate cake with a delicate frosting and some coconut flakes. The generous piece of cake came with salted caramel ice cream, an assortment of honey roasted nuts and some caramel sauce. It was simply divine. Our overall experience was excellent and I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

    The ambiance is nice very polite staff but a small menu & the octopus was not good. The pomegranate cucumber mojito us divine! Good desserts as well

    fish would've tasted better had they fried it to order. tasted like it had been fried earlier in the afternoon. also, too many jalapeños.

    hotel food never gets me that excited. we ordered the fish tacos as we wanted to stay really close to our hotel (this place is in our hotel.. as close as you can get) since we had to catch a flight soon thereafter. the fish were obv fried at an earlier time as the outer layer was not very crispy and the fish was not flaky. it would've made a huge difference if they had just fried to order. the serving size is very large, three tacos per order. and for ~$18 ($16?). if i had to do this over, i'd have gone elsewhere, but due to my circumstances i had to visit this establishment. service is also MIA at times

    Awesome!!! We went for a late lunch.. Sat outside overlooking the pool and ocean... Very relaxing. Te place has a very relaxed and clean vibe.. not pretentious or trying to hard to impress. The menu is really really creative! We wanted everything! Ordered the conch chowder (family recipe from 1948) and the shaved hearts of palm salad. Both were presently beautifully and tasted even better... Then got "Schrager" burger.. 2 thumbs up! GF got the special fish sandwich.. Fresh and perfectly cooked.. Dessert was the kicker.. We got the banana, caramel, pecan bread pudding.. It was insane! One of the best desserts I have EVER eaten..Don't pass on it!! Just opened and I'm sure it will be an instant hit.. Go for lunch or dinner.. you will not be disappointed.

    Seared Tuna, catch of the day. Very yummy!

    Barren Seed For a…read moremilestone birthday I wanted to go with something that represented living vicariously through the life of someone who attained a career I once dreamed of. Not saying I'm unhappy at all with my career, but most people who know me also know from early on I aspired to become a renowned chef. Limitations at the time didn't make that possible, but the culinary arts remain a core part of who I am. Entered how impressed we were last year with the Miami Spice menu that on the spot I selected Stubborn Seed as the venue for my milestone birthday. Enter a process, meal, and aftermath made to the horror model of movies like Sinners. Let me start with the reservation. I booked in October 2025 to ensure we would have the place booked for my birthday. At the time we had a placeholder menu which we would adjust closer to the date. I was told then the 6 course menu would not be available. Closer to the date I saw on the website the 6 course menu was indeed available. In reaching out to the team member who took my reservation and contract, she told me the 6 course menu was not available on Fridays. From what you can see in the pictures, it was available. Then we wonder why Miami gets the reputation it does... ...finally we settled on the 6 course meny after all. My party showed up and we had a great time. Most courses were really solid. Notable was the first course, the cured Ginger & Citrus Cured Japanese Yellowtail. Everything kept moving in a definite crescendo until the let down of the main course. The Koji Marinated Lamb Loin was better billed as the "mini loin" as it was indeed incredibly small. I considered summoning Avenger level superpowers to reduce my people in size to the Wasp to make this work somehow. Unfortunately I don't possess such superpowers. If only. But that was not all. Wait for it... ...There was not one single acknowledgment by anyone in the restaurant staff about my milestone birthday. Not a thank you for selecting us. Not a mention by the manager or anyone on the staff. Not even a gesture during dessert. Even the most elegant of restaurants do something. Even a plated decoration acknowledging the occasion would have sufficed. I wasn't asking for Longhorn Steakhouse staff type of fanfare but something would have been adequate. Nothing. But wait, there's more... ...when settling the check I mentioned I had prepaid for the 10 tasting menus ahead of time leaving on premises consumption for payment on site. At the restaurante they looked into it and came back with that the prepayment was never charged. Given I was with my guests that was neither the time nor the place, so I settled the bill with the intent on checking this later. I did and they had indeed double charged me $2,000. Needless to say I had to bring this up to them including opening a dispute with my credit card after days went by without a follow up on where my refund stood. No offense ladies and gentlemen, but this mistake should have never taken place in the first place... All in all, not even they have the power to ruin what was one of the most memorable evenings of my life. Why? because I was surrounded by some of the most amazing human beings who took time to share this birthday with me. I love them and am grateful to have them in my life. That was the main event. The hopes was having a similar amazing experience with the meal at Stubborn Seed would be the icing on the case. It was not. Fortunately for me they didn't add anything, but more importantly, they didn't take anything away. That said, since Michelin doesn't judge a restaurant for portion size or service, I thought I myself would take something away - the veil on a restaurant that is evidently self indulgent and does not and will not care about you. You are not the star, and you never will be. Recommendations: Read "Unreasonable Hospitality" by Will Guidara - you may learn a bit just from the title itself, more if you crack the book open. Attending a Hospitality program somewhere (doesn't have to be Cornell at this point!)

Happy hour clocks in at $12 for food, $12 for all house cocktails, $10 spritzes, and a flat $6 for all beer, which in Miami Beach feels almost suspicious in the best way possible. I kept it simple with an ice cold Peroni while my wife went for the Giardino 75, a gorgeous little spritz built on Empress Indigo Gin, St. Germain, mint, lime, and prosecco. She loved it. The color alone was worth the ten bucks, but it actually drank as good as it looked. For food we shared the Bolognese Grilled Cheese and let me tell you, this thing punches well above its $12 price tag. Thick cut brioche toast, griddled until the edges go deep golden brown, stacked over a rich slow simmered bolognese with cheese pulling through every bite. Dusted with parmesan and fresh herbs, plated with cherry tomato skewers that added a nice little pop of acidity. Comfort food dressed up for a night out. Service was attentive and easy, drinks came quick, plates came hot, and nobody made us feel rushed even sitting through happy hour. The room itself has that playful Sicilian energy with the Moor head planters and bright touches throughout, which fits the vibe of the menu perfectly. Would I make a special trip back to Miami Beach for it? Probably not from Fort Myers, but if you're already in the area during happy hour, this is one of the better values you'll find on the beach. Solid four stars. Good drinks, good food, great specials, and service that actually showed up.
