From the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out, the vibes were high from beginning to end. Our waiter Julian was kind and equally accommodating as he was attentive. The hostess congratulated my partner and I on our anniversary and on the way to the table, gave a lovely to her on her dress. The entire restaurant was just buzzing with liveliness. The drinks were smooth and flavorful. We opted out of the Miami spice and ate from the regular dinner menu in favor entrees we'd wholeheartedly enjoy and there were no regrets about it. The sourdough bread with the honey and ricotta was addictive. Not to mention the olive oil and coarse salt with black pepper. The food came out swiftly and everything was cooked to perfection. The outer edges of the steak had a mouthwatering crisp that made every bite an experience to savor. Hands down the best lobster Mac and cheese in my Miami dining experience thus far. The baked potato tasted like warm hug and heated blanket on a winter night. All the food was as fresh as could be. At the end we were gifted with dessert for anniversary and typically I'm not a fan of flan but this one turned me into a believer. Would absolutely recommend and do plan on returning. Thank you to the restaurant for an amazing night.

It was noted to us by the waiters this restaurant has a completely different menu from the Fiola on the first floor. I would like to highlight this place is upscale so you need to be prepared to splurge. The service was fantastic and the servers were very attentive to detail. As starters we had fresh east and west cost Oysters and Wagyu beef sushi. As my entree I had the Canary Island Branzino which was phenomenal with the side of spinach. For dessert Champagne Zabaglione which was very light and fresh. This place is phenomenal to celebrate a special occasion. I hope to be able to go back for Sunday brunch.

I ordered the croquets, salmon and cheesecake, but also tried the steak, bolognese, truffle Mac and cheese, chocolate Chunck cookie and chocolate cake. The meats were cooked perfectly and the sauces and seasoning really brought out a lot of flavor! The Mac and cheese was super cheesy, not really much truffle flavor though. As far as desserts my favorite was definitely the cheesecake! The chocolate cookie was a little too bitter, but the chocolate cake was just the right amount of rich chocolate flavor to creamy ganache. Service was amazing and the staff were all very knowledgeable on the menu. I will note that while the service wasn't necessarily slow, they did take their time between the courses to allow us to talk and have a longer meal. So this is a great place to come to catch up with friends/family or spend an evening. This is not a quick in and out type of meal. Great for a special occasion or just a good upscale dinner. Everything is delicious and portions are pretty spot on.

It's a neighborhood institution that has held its own for close to three decades. Is it pristine and sparkly on the inside? No. It's a dive bar for fuggs sake. Drinks are strong, music is loud, and vibes are vibing. If I've got friends visiting that aren't into the over-priced voids of Brickell and South Beach, you can bet Bougie's is where we're heading. The venue is a century old historic cottage that has a death grip on old school Miami charm, nestled within the heart of South Miami. The tree lined outdoor seating is a rare treat these days for a bar, and it's a great area to catch up with friends, particularly on their less busy nights.

In the morning my wife had their "version of a pancake" which was very custardy in the middle and a bit strange but still good. You want to make a pancake where it is cooked on the outside and still soft on the inside? Sure, why not.

Luckily they always have good music and it's a great atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly and the staff is super cool. I enjoyed the "They Call her Lola" cocktail which is like their twist on an aperol spritz. They add vodka to it instead of champagne and passionfruit. It is honestly so refreshing and easy to sip on. Can be a little dangerous if you ask me! I also enjoyed an espresso martini but I preferred their take on the aperol spritz instead. To snack we enjoyed the meatballs, they were pretty good. I love that they have some ricotta on the side with it. Overall, you should definitely check them out. They even have a karaoke night on the last Sunday of the month.

The speakeasy atmosphere is outstanding--walking through the iconic red phone booth feels like stepping into another era, only with much better bourbon. Victoria was an absolute rockstar. She took some fantastic photos of our group (which is no small feat after a couple of perfectly made Manhattans), anticipated everything we needed, and somehow managed to make us feel like regulars on our first visit. Speaking of Manhattans... they're exactly the way we like them: balanced, boozy, and dangerously easy to order "just one more." Pair that with a great cigar, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that somehow feels both upscale and relaxed, and you've got one of the best spots in Miami to unwind. We came for a drink. We stayed for the cigars. We left wondering if we should install a red phone booth at home. We'll definitely be back--and hopefully Victoria will still be there to remind us that "one more Manhattan" is always a questionable life decision.

It is possible that the vibe of Sunset Tavern will not change much, but as we all know, it may never be the same. Sunset Tavern is one of those few places where it is just as good to go in the morning for a Bloody Mary and enjoying the scenery of South Miami, as it is to go at night, drink a beer and watch a live band perform. The ambiance is casual, the service is up to the challenge, and the price is reasonable. As the matter of, I went to Sunset Tavern last night. The name of the band playing was Electric Mayhem and they were absolutely outstanding. The energy and the chemistry between the band members, the song selection, and the talent of the musicians was off the chat. I have never been so mesmerized by a local band before, and I plan to go back and see them again. They perform in Sunset Tavern the first Saturday of every month. But as I was watching the band, I took a look around. So many memories within those walls. I will miss this location.
