We Tried this new place for us last night and the bartender completely ruined the experience. He…read morewas extremely rude. From the moment we sat down, the guy looked annoyed that we were there. Zero greeting, zero eye contact. We waited almost 10 minutes just to get acknowledged while he was chatting with another customers at the other end of the bar. When he finally took our order, he barely listened. I asked for a classic Old Fashioned and he brought me something that tasted like watered-down whiskey with too much bitters and a random orange slice thrown in. My friend's whiskey sour was unbalanced -- definitely not worth the $18 price tag. I politely mentioned to recommend us another drinks options he just shrugged and said "we don't have that" Not offer another choice or an apology. The drinks were mediocre at best, but his attitude made it worse. He ignored us most of the night and acted annoyed every time we ordered. Zero professionalism. The place has a great vibe but with service like this, is not worth to spend almost $200 dollars there for few drinks. I don't remember his name but he was tall, Latin and maybe from Colombia. We just wanted to report his behavior to management but in a Saturday's night you just don't want to ruined more. Next.

Newest kid on the South Miami block Flight West shines with exceptional service, creative…read morecocktails, and inspired takes on classic menu favorites. While we definitely have had some great dining staples and short term spots, I've never considered South Miami to be a foodie destination. The latest crop of restaurants in the area are rapidly challenging that assertion. Situated next door to Italian rockstar Mano Libera, Flight West has some big shoes to fill in its culinary endeavors with its prime corner location. They're still in their soft opening phase, but have quickly found their footing with their eclectic menu focused on global ingredients with a fusion flare. Our server Savannah (sp) was very sweet along with another server who never hesitated if something was needed. The attention paid to cocktails, presentation, and service was appreciated, and it's a detail I hope the restaurant maintains as they become further established. My husband started with the signature Maduro Old Fashioned, which packed too strong of a punch for my palette, but he loved. The branded ice cube and plantain chip garnish was a fun touch. I wanted something low abv, and asked for a dressed up club soda with St. Germain, cucumber, and lemon, and it was perfection in a wine glass and the perfect refreshing sip. Next time I'll take one of their signature cocktails for a spin. Quite a few of the appetizers were calling my name, but we decided on the calamari. It was well seasoned with the jalapeño aioli, lime zest, and pickled radishes offering a nice brightness to offset the fried squid. We really enjoyed this dish. For entree I had the garlic & herb mussels. They're noted to be served in a citrus herb broth, which if I'm being honest didn't seem like an accurate description. I was expecting something much lighter and herbaceous, but instead the sauce was a sweet umami flavor bomb with surprising smokey notes. They were absolutely delicious! I'm not sure if they changed the recipe post menu, but it was a very pleasant surprise, and I highly recommend trying them. My husband opted for the Madagascar prawns. This is definitely a show stopper on the plate, being one of their largest dishes on the menu, but not my personal favorite (particularly at the price point). The grilled Madagascar shrimp are on a California king size bed of rice bathed in coconut milk and slathered with a Thai inspired tangy coconut curry. The flavors worked really well together but there's only so much rice once can eat, and the two of us struggled to even make a dent. I think lightening the carb load with some sauteed spinach, sugar snaps, or broccolini on the plate would bring some balance. I think also a price point in the $50s may be a little less painful for what is essentially two very large shrimp. While it was very tasty, out of the three dishes we got this is probably the only one we wouldn't repeat in the future. Overall we really enjoyed Flight West and are excited to see more restaurants of their caliber in our cute little neck of the swamp. It's been a long time since a restaurant really rocked my tastebuds so we will definitely be back!

If you are a fan of the university of Miami and I've never been here then there is a 100% chance that you need to go! Boy if the walls in here could speak, Jimmy Johnson, Howard Schnellenberger, Dennis Erickson, Ed Orgeron, countless number of players over countless decades have all frequent in this spot. You can spend hours or perhaps days looking at the memorabilia on the wall, and the good news is the new owners are really even more friendly to the university. As far as the food and drink goes it is definitely a dive bar. The beer is cold, the drinks are strong, the food is decent. The burger and the wings are the best.

It got to the point where half of us were ordering inside to order drinks at the bar because service was... no bueno.

I wasn't in the mood for a big crowd and noise. This place has a lot of big screen tv's and had a great football game on the screens, which kept me and my husband entertained. The waitress was really nice and friendly. She gave great service. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and my guy ordered the scallops. Neither of us were very wowed with the food. He said some of the scallops didn't taste as fresh as he'd have liked and they came alone without any side and sautéed mushrooms- which he doesn't eat- and my grilled chicken was a little tough/chewy. It was also a small cutlet. On the bright side, we both agreed that the sweet potato fries were delicious! Prices were reasonable for the dishes we got, but some other menu items seemed on the higher side. I hope they taste better and are better than what we got for the price they are asking, as our food was mid. Overall, I would drop in again if the occasion called for it, but this wouldn't be a place I'd made an effort to return to.
