    Great place with great food and vibes. Michael was our waiter and he made our experience here amazing. He answered all of our questions when it came to food and explained in details what each dish would taste like and that's a huge plus when a waiter is able to explain the menu to the details. Every dish he recommended was amazing.

    Danny, our server on Saturday 11/26, was absolutely PHENOMENAL. He took care of our bachelorette party group with genuine service, care and recommended the best food for our tables. We had over 16 girls with us and we are so thankful for his hospitality, he is outstanding and deserves a huge raise! You all have a great person on your team :) Also, the food was incredible and I can honestly say it was the best dining experience I've had in Miami. From the starters, to the apps and onto the main dish (we had the steak and fresh fish.....WOW) I have been raving about it to friends, family and colleagues ever since. If you're going to Miami - ESP for a bachelorette party where you want good vibes, incredible food and SO MUCH FUN DANCING, this is the place to be! Thank you again!

    I went to HaSalon on Saturday for my birthday and I really I was just wanting to have a fun time for my birthday, which I knew I was going to have, but I was completely blown away by the food! Everything we got was beyond delicious! Be sure to try everything. The yummiest for me was the potato and the beets, but I truly loved it all! HaSalon is very fun and play music and you're encouraged to dance everywhere, even the tables! We had a blast! I cannot go without saying that our server Timothy was great! He was super attentive and very helpful! Made the experience so much better! Can't wait to go back.

    The new "place". This place is so cute and elegant inside. We were sat at the chef's counter (such a fun spot) we watched how they prepared all the food (which smelt heavenly). The chefs were so kind and talkative. For food we started with the hummus, which was the best ive ever had. It is topped with prawns, a unique take, but it worked! It is served with the best focaccia you will ever have--warm, crunchy flaky, but gooey melt in your mouth and topped with tomato and onion. They also give you some crema/sour cream dip on the side. We also had the mushroom colony steak which was very tasty, served with a side of sour cream. For a main we tried the red snapper that comes wrapped in a paper (thats how they cook it). The waiter unwrapped it in front of us and it was melt in your mouth. We stayed until around 10:30-- thats when the party starts. The Dj pumps the music (top 40/party) and everyone dances including the waiters and chefs. It is such a fun time! Everyone is dancing on tables and waving napkins. I cant wait to come back for another night out!

    We went for the early dinning experience- the $68 prefix menu. We were 30 min late to our 7:30 res and they were very sweet about it! When we arrived the resturant was empty but it filled up around 9:30pm. They were supposed to only let us have the table until 9:30 because that's when the second seating happens but they let us stay at the table until 10:30! Our group of 11 wanted to do the $68/person menu but specified via email that we had two dietary restrictions (one pescatarian and one vegetarian) and were wondering if they could accommodate. The staff ended up crafting a menu for us that would be a variety of meat/seafood/veg dishes and still equal out to the same total at $68 x 11. This was a super nice gesture, although our group did not understand what they were trying to do at first because it was not explained over email, and we thought we were required to do a $68 a la cart minimum spend and not allowed to do the prefix menu. It caused a lot of miscommunication between us and the staff which they were very patient about. We were probably very annoying and they still accommodated us lol. We ended up doing the menu they came up with and everything was great. My favorites were the muscles and branzino, and others in my group loved the lamb. The hummus was also amazing as well as the mushroom pasta. I felt the smoky baba ghanoush was a little bit lackluster and needed to touch more salt/seasoning. The servers were a little bit slow, even in the beginning when nobody was there. It took them about 30 min to bring my first drink. The support staff was on top of it though! They were very quick with the water refills and folding napkins if you got up from your seat. It was my friend's birthday and we asked for a piece of cheesecake and they still brought over a sparkler and rang the bell even though we did not get bottles. The party at night seemed very fun for groups! I think that if you're here for a bachelorette party or bday it is worth the splurge for the yummy food and atmosphere, but I don't think you need to do this place more than once. I thought the food was good but probably a bit overpriced, and the drinks def were overpriced. They seem to get a lot of harsh reviews from groups where 4-5 people will create Yelp accounts just to write the same thing. I don't think they deserve all the poor reviews because we were definitely a challenging party and they were very kind and patient with us!

    Love it, love it, love it! Such a fun place to enjoy the Miami night scene! We got started with delicious cocktails at the bar, they make a fantastic Aperol Spritz, once the table was ready we had the opportunity to try various delicious dishes, and enjoy the super fun ambiance. My favorite was the skirt steak, and the pici- best pasta i've ever had. They have a restaurant/club type of ambiance, really fun for groups, b-day parties, or even dates ;-) Make sure to check out the online menu as it's more detailed than the in person one. Staff was- fantastic, very attentive & making great suggestions.

    I had the best dining experience ever here. The vibes were so much fun. I recommend making a reservation at 10pm since it turns into a fun party at 10:30! It's very expensive but the whole experience is worth it, it's definitely best for a special occasion. I loved the wagyu steak, corn bread, beef carpaccio, and kabob. Everything was amazing and shareable. The service was also so nice especially Andres. We had more fun here then the clubs. The dj played the best music too! Can't wait to go back next time I'm in Miami! Open in LA please!

    Visit: first We made reservations for my best friends birthday via open table - we sat immediately and luckily didnt need to wait for the whole party which was amazing Atmosphere- dark,sexy vibes, great spacing and has a bar area and a kitchen bar area. If you book after a certain time it turns into a party where u can dance on the table and it did NOT disappoint, such a fun party mood, perfect for celebrating! Server- was sweet and knowledgeable, knew the allergies before we mentioned it and made sure to give us recommendations and really broke down the menu Food: everything comes family style serving size for the table The brought out delicious bread w sourcream BUT its spicy fyi dont sleep on the tomatoes lol so juicy and delicious 10/10 We got the diamond avocado- this is huge And the avocado was perfect, the bread had great taste but too crunchy for its large size The cucumbers in the salad were divine Run and order the chicken! Wow Everything tasted extremely fresh and didnt leave u w a full uncomfortable feeling like most restaurants Everyone raved about the steak and the pasta The icecream was caramel im pretty sure was heaven sent Tip: go in a big group, go comfortably enough to get on the table and dance lol

    I am one of the most generous reviewers on Yelp. Most of my reviews are 4-5 stars. I was debating between one and two stars here. On a price to quality level it's 1 or zero stars. You won't see any menu prices online, but you can see the menu in my photos. A Ribeye Steak is $280, Lamb Chops are $170, a Lamb Kabob his $96, yes, a kabob. Chicken is $91. Dover Sole $175. I actually would not mind if they were life changing dishes like you get at French Laundry or Single Thread Farms, but you can get the same or better food at Mandolin or Ornos or dozens of local Mediterranean Greek, Israeli and Turkish places for a fraction of the price. Tur Kitchen has more amazing dishes and presentations at a fraction of the price with better service. Ha Salon is a partnership with Major Food Group (ZZ, Carbone) and Eyal Shani who made his name in Tel Aviv. Eyal now has 23 restaurants so he spends little time here, and it shows. It's difficult to hire great front and back of the house talent these days, I sympathize with the restaurant industry. The servers are nice and well meaning, but more at the level of Olive Garden than a restaurant that charges Michelin style prices. When you go on Resy for a table it looks like everything is booked and you'd be lucky to snag one. The reality is that this is a game played by MFG to create buzz. On the day we went we were offered seats at the counter, and I thought I was lucky to get in. There were three other people seated at the counter and only one table occupied out of dozens for two hours. The restaurant was empty. I've seen this to a lesser extent at Carbone, they keep dozens of people waiting outside for show, I don't know if they're walk ins or people with reservations told to wait, but when you're inside there are empty tables. Eventually people get onto this scam, and it's not going to end well. The space is virtually untouched from the previous occupant, Lobster Bar. MFG benefits from the multi-million dollar Buckhead buildout after China Grill left. Unfortunately success can breed complacency or a feeling of invincibility. The success of their New York restaurants and the initial success of ZZ and Carbone has allowed Jeff Zalaznick to move down here and buy a $15 million Miami Beach waterfront home, kudos to Jeff and his partners. But the lack of planning a menu that warrants outrageous pricing, the lack of building a first rate staff, means that if you want to try HaSalon, you better come fast, I don't think they will make it past 3-6 months. Miami has world class restaurants now. This is not competitive. Directly in front of us on the counter overlooking the open kitchen was a little "garden" of herbs and produce used by the chefs, unwashed. I could have sneezed right into it, a serious health code violation and major COVID risk. All through our dinner we watched a man come from the kitchen to load up a large garbage can and remove it right in front of us. Horribly unappetizing and not the type of kitchen show we were hoping to see. Because the restaurant was empty we watched the kitchen staff stand around either chatting or catching up on social media. You're served complimentary bread on arrival. It should be served warm or hot, would make it much better. The menu goes into very little detail about the dishes. You would expect the servers to embellish, elaborate, nope. When you ask about dessert it's "chef's choice". They talk about a few items vageuly that could be on there. It winds up being something like you get at Cheesecake Factory, except CF is much better for 70% less. It would be interesting to know about the nicknames for the dishes, but the staff has no clue. For instance the "7 stormy clouds from ALBA not even one more" is an intriging description for a pasta dish. There must be an interesting story behind that. The only explanation you get from a server is "it's like gnocchi". We had it, a small $40 appetizer, which were like gnocchi or more like cheesy gnudis in a pool of butter and a leaf of sage. The burnt smashed eggplant on white tahini appetizer was fine but similar to what you get a most greek restaurants for half the price. The beetroot carpaccio with horseradish snow is a pretty dish but it should not be hanging over the plate touching the counter and it would benefit from a splash of lemon. The Salmon Sauvage carpaccio was good but nothing special. The local catch, Snapper, was fine but I came for a culinary experience from a supposed world renowned chef. Where is he?

    If I book a 7:30pm reservation will they kick us out before the fun begins at 9pm?

    All reservations before 8:15 pm are having 2h dining time. For example if you book at 7:30 pm table will be yours until 9:30 pm. Reservations after 8:30 pm don't have time restrictions but do have $90 pp minimum towards food. Hope this helps.

    What is the difference between the Blue Room and the dining room?

    Blue room is a semy private room that can host up to 70 guests, and it expands to the patio. In general, it is more tranquil and dining focused, but it's not rare that dinners end with a party in Blue room as well.

    Does the dancing happen on Thursday nights too?

    Yes definitely! One of my favorite nights with the best crowd.

    Do they allow kids (9 year old) for dinner?

    Everyone is welcomed, just keep in mind that the restaurant gets a bit louder and party oriented after 10:30 pm.

    What day and time is the best to go for dinner and fun?

    I would go during the last seating, I think around 830. This is best because you won't be rushed and will be able to see all the fun ;)

    I recently visited Mandolin in Miami with my daughter for late afternoon drinks and appetizers, and…read moreit was such a wonderful experience. The moment we walked in, we were transported right back to Greece. The décor is beautiful and authentic without feeling forced. Every detail adds to the charm of the space. We decided to keep things light and ordered the zucchini chips along with a special appetizer featuring whipped feta, roasted eggplant, arugula, and pistachios. Both dishes were excellent. The whipped feta dish was bright, fresh, and packed with flavor, while the zucchini chips were perfectly cooked they were light, crisp, and addictive. My daughter ordered the non-alcoholic dragon fruit "martini" and absolutely loved it. It was tropical, refreshing, and felt like a special treat. I went with the white sangria. It tasted a little more watered down than I expected, but it was still refreshing and enjoyable on a warm Miami afternoon. The service was excellent throughout our visit, and the atmosphere alone makes this place worth a stop. Between the beautiful setting, delicious food, and attentive staff, Mandolin is a place I'll happily return to the next time I'm in Miami.

Seating is mostly outdoors and beautifully decorated, definitely a nice selection for an intimate event. Service was wonderful! The spanakopita was nicely flaky, the spinach filling wasn't overly bitter or pungent (my boyfriend is not a fan of strong feta flavors and enjoyed this while I am a feta enthusiast, we felt that this was right in the middle of our demands which worked great). We both love moussaka which is what my boyfriend ended up getting, dare we say it was our favorite moussaka out of any Greek restaurant in America thus far (coming from New Yorkers frequently visiting Astoria). It was broiled to perfection to give the cheese/béchamel layer a light crunch at the top and maintaining that richness underneath. The eggplant and ground meat were well seasoned. I really enjoyed my stuffed peppers as well (rice pilaf, ground beef, and feta on top), the tomato broth/sauce gave a nice sweet and savory flavor with the meal. Finally, a superb pistachio baklava, 10/10. Super impressed with what Miami had to offer for Mediterranean.

Even after paying, the staff continued to make sure we had water and asked if we needed anything else. This small gesture meant a lot. Sufrat has a great happy hour menu that ends at 6 PM. I tried the Moroccan Mojito, which was so refreshing. To eat, we tried the Shawarma Sushi and $1 chicken wing. The Shawarma Sushi name can be a bit misleading. It a wrap that was cut in form of sushi. It was good. I was hesitant about ordering chicken wings but I'm so glad we did because they were so delicious and crispy. They may have been the best chicken wing I've had. The service was excellent. I accidentally dropped my cocktail and they immediately cleaned it up and moved us to another clean table. I apologized for dropping it but not once did they made me feel bad about it. Instead, one of the staff stated it was an indication of having a great time. They also replaced my drink at no extra cost. A guy, who I assumed was the manager or owner, also passed by our table and ensured we were enjoying our time. Our server mistakenly brought me the wrong drink that I ordered, but I did not mind it because I actually loved the Moroccan Mojito and instead ordered another one. I also loved how they have copper cups because it makes water taste so much better. Their attention to small details like that makes the difference. Overall, I felt so welcomed and definitely have to return for more chicken wings.

We ordered the beef kabobs, which were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the ribeye steak was a major disappointment. We ordered it medium well, but it came out extremely overcooked, dry, and tough, with hard charred pieces on the outside. It was clear that steak is probably not their specialty. That said, we would still recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere, service, and many of the other menu items -- just skip the steaks.

For context, I worked in fine dining in New York and Miami for almost 20 years, so I notice the details immediately, hospitality, management presence, the energy of a room. You can usually tell pretty quickly what kind of operation you're dealing with. We were a party of five. I arrived with my four-year-old son and was greeted warmly by the hostess. That warmth ended instantly. Standing directly behind her were two managers in suits blocking the main entrance. Both looked straight at me and my child and said absolutely nothing. No hello, no smile, no acknowledgment. Anyone in hospitality knows that moment sets the tone. As an Arab woman who grew up around a culture where hospitality is everything, it was already a bad sign. We were seated outside and the vibe stayed cold. Unfortunately, the food matched it. We ordered a lot because I genuinely wanted to give the kitchen a fair shot. I grew up eating Lebanese food and what stood out most was the lack of soul. Everything felt flat, like it needed salt, lemon, brightness, that warm Mediterranean seasoning Lebanese food is known for. The tabouli was especially shocking. A $20+ tabouli with no bulgur that was so roughly chopped it was basically whole parsley leaves and slices of onion. Any Lebanese auntie would die at the sight of it. At one point I asked our server if they had harissa or any kind of spicy sauce. She said the only option was Sriracha. In a Lebanese restaurant that charges $18 for a tablespoon of hummus. An Asian chili sauce as the only option. What made it even stranger is that harissa is listed on multiple dishes on the menu, so it clearly exists somewhere in the building. I asked for the Sriracha anyway out of desperation for flavor. It never came. Same with ketchup for my toddler's fries, it took three requests. Throughout the meal I walked around the restaurant several times taking my son to the bathroom, looking around the space, even going upstairs to the lounge. Not a single person acknowledged us. Not a host, not a server, not a manager. The bar is right by the entrance and every time we looked over at the bartender and bar manager, just blank stares. At one point we were clearly standing there confused looking for the bathroom in an empty restaurant and still had to say "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" Wild. Later I walked up to the bar myself to ask if they carried mezcal. After dinner I went back to order one. Same energy--zero warmth, zero engagement. And this is with an automatic 20% gratuity already on the bill. The mezcal was a $25 two-ounce pour and I still had to ask for an orange slice garnish because no one offered it. Empty bar, two people behind it, and I still had to request it. Also worth noting, our reservation was at 5:45pm and the restaurant was practically empty. Yet I didn't see a single manager walking the floor, greeting tables, or checking on guests. I had talked this place up to my party because I'd been so curious about it for years, and it was honestly a huge letdown. If you know Lebanese food and understand Middle Eastern warmth and hospitality, this probably isn't the place for you. Expect cold, almost nonexistent hospitality and food that feels stripped of the soul that makes Lebanese cuisine special. The space is beautiful. I'll give them that. Everything else felt like a very on-brand Miami disappointment, what happens when you give people a beautiful restaurant, expensive food, automatic gratuity, and no leadership. From the lack of authenticity and attention to detail, it's hard to believe anyone truly Lebanese is behind this operation. If anything, it feels more like a polished money grab. Honestly, it might have been less jarring if they just called themselves "Mediterranean" like so many other places in this city. But if you're going to call yourself a Lebanese restaurant, the culture and hospitality should actually be there.

    Some of Miami's most beautiful waterfront restaurants are easy to miss, and Yaya's Coastal Cuisine…read moreis one of those hidden gems that's absolutely worth discovering. Tucked away in a quiet corner on the water, the moment you walk in, you're transported into what feels like an eclectic Mediterranean cave. The warm textures, glowing lights, and tranquil atmosphere instantly set the mood. It's unexpected, inviting, and the perfect escape from the city's hustle. But let's talk about the real star--the food. I had the chance to experience both the Miami Spice dinner menu and Sunday brunch, and honestly, I couldn't pick a favorite dish if I tried. Every plate was beautifully presented, full of fresh coastal flavors, and had its own unique twist. Whether you're craving seafood, brunch classics, or something adventurous, there's truly something for everyone. What makes Yaya's even more special is the experience. Thank you to Angel who is a dear friend and the guy to go see....grab a table by the water, watch the boats drift by, and if you time it right, enjoy a magical full moon night complete with live DJs and mesmerizing fire dancers. It's dinner with a show, Miami style. If you're looking for more than just a meal--for a place that captures the energy, beauty, and waterfront magic of Miami--Yaya's Coastal Cuisine deserves a spot on your list. Come hungry, stay for the ambiance, and let the night surprise you. I promise you its worth every penny!

    I visited Yaya Coastal Cuisine for brunch and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience due…read moreto the service. Our server, Anthony, was largely absent throughout the meal. We repeatedly had to go out of our way to flag someone down just to order drinks or check on our food, while noticing that nearby tables were consistently attended to without issue. It genuinely felt like we were being overlooked, which made the entire experience frustrating and uncomfortable. What made matters worse is that gratuity was automatically included, so we were forced to tip for service that simply did not meet even basic expectations. I'm not one to leave negative reviews, but this experience stood out for the wrong reasons. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works to ensure all guests receive equal attention and service.

    Meraki is a beautiful restaurant with truly authentic and delicious Greek food! And I'm Greek, so…read moreyou can take my word for it ;) While it may seem slightly off the beaten path right off Flagler, it's very conveniently located by the Knight Center metro stop and a very easy walk from the bridge. Also, the atmosphere they've created both indoors and outdoors really draws you in: beautiful foliage, gorgeous decor, and inviting decor. They play amazing Greek music to set the mood at a very reasonable volume so you can still hear your party. I've been for lunch during Miami spice and recently for dinner. Everything I've had was delicious with tons of flavor and huge portions. Both times I took enough leftovers for another meal! I especially love their zucchini fritters and their spread plate. All their spreads are so fresh and flavorful but their hummus especially was soo good. My husband and I shared the meat platter for two for dinner and enjoyed everything on it - the loukaniko was especially delicious! For dessert, you can't miss the galatoboureko, a sweet custard dessert with the flaky phyllo dough you know and love from baklava. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend for a lunch date or dinner date and it's super versatile: great for friends, families or romantic dates. Don't miss this beautiful restaurant in downtown!

    Oh my God where do I start! We had the best date night. This place is so amazing. I went with low…read moreexpectations given my knowledge and experience with mediterranean food in miami: small portions, bland taste. This is completely different and out of this world! The food is super tasty, super fresh, portions are adequate without paying a steep price. The salad: we got a greek salad, it was way bigger than what we expected, the tomatos and feta cheese were delicious and my fiance thought that this was the star dish. Its not your basic salad. The waitress prepared it right infront of us and cut fresh tomatos and veggies on a station. Saganaki: must order, this was my favorite dish. Even though its such a simple ingredient (cheese) the flavor is crazy, they torched it and heated it infront of us and we couldn't stop eating it Souvlaki: the chicken was delicious, we got two full skewers, they serve it with fries and their special sauce which is so delicious! Even the fries were delicious and well seasoned! Octopus: this was mind blowing, especially with the meraki sauce. This is technically an appetizer but feels like a whole dish!! And its only for $24 whereas other places tend to overcharge! We had planned to order more but by that time we were full. The menu is rich and there is still so much to try. We will be heading here more frequently and sharing with you our dishes!! 5 stars well deserved! Instagram: @ri_reviews961
