    Appetizer: Grilled Octopus
    Mike L.

    We stopped by for an early dinner. The restaurant has a very neat and retro vibe going for it. The server was very accommodating for us as first time guests. We started off with the grilled octopus. It was grilled beautifully and not too chewy. I had the milanesa diana which was huge! As great as the flavor explosions happening in my mouth, parts of my chicken was a tough cut of the chicken which brought my experience down a bit. It's like when you get a chicken nuggie and bite into it and it's hard. Not what you're expecting. My kids enjoyed a chicken sandwich and linguine which had great flavor. My wife had a decent portion of salmon. I would come again. I would even sit outside if I wasn't a very sweaty man in this humidity. Just a helpful tip before you come: they do charge an 18% gratuity. It is listed on their menu. So don't freak out if you happen to see that on your bill.

    This summer our family went to La Vida Misma after being influenced by a video we saw on instagram. Everyone was excited to go, we were a party of 10 on Sunday a night. The decor is night, they even have a neon sign and couch to take photos at, but after our looooong dinner, we were not in the mood. The food was good, the service was very slow, only two servers working the whole restaurant and bar. Our waitress had to be reminded of things because the poor thing was running around like a chicken without a head. Maybe it was an off day for the restaurant due to being very understaffed. We saw our food sitting at the pickup window forever, some out our meals were cold. Unfortunately for our group, this was a miss for us. We all agreed that it was a one and done experience. Hoping the staffing problems have been resolved for future customers and the longevity of the restaurant.

    While the bartender was so nice, he had no idea what a mixed drink was. We ordered a Manhattan but just went with bourbon neat. We had the croquettes which were ok. The sauce was hot but the croquettes were not. The choripán was ok. The burrata and prosciutto was average. No bread served with it which would have been welcome. Also note an automatic 18% service charge was added which wasn't earned.

    The bartender is very good and they have a long happy hour which is rare to find! Food is delicious and ambiance is relaxed and good for groups.

    From the moment we spoke with the team, they were awesome! We had a party of 35 and everything was perfect! The food was amazing and the service was spot on. Will definitely go again.

    Food was amazing, all their Milanese's were crispy and tasteful. The ambiance is family friendly yet romantic.

    Great spot and I had a wonderful dinner. At first I felt like oh boy, will this be enough for me? And I was full and no room for dessert either. Don't underestimate that Schnitzel underneath of it all. Unique decor, great Mojitos and tasty dinner served pleasantly. The service was great and on a Monday evening I was there pretty much all by myself.

    After visiting Fairchild Botanical Garden, we stopped into La Vida Misma .. drawn here by the Yelp reviews. The pictures on the menu were amazing .. sadly, the real thing didn't live up to the expectation. My Mojito was very good however my husband's Sunny Vacation was disgusting. The waiter was very polite about it, explained the Mezcal Tequila isn't for everyone and offered to bring something different. The Old Fashioned was good. Brie Butterfly was just ok (is it supposed to be cold?). The Caesars side salad was rather dry and tasteless. The burger was ok, cooked beyond medium, and could have used some other condiments to rev up the flavors. The Frito Misto only slightly resembled the photo. What was served was a whole lot of French Fries, 5 shrimp (reasonable) however the calamari was about half what was shown in the menu, where's I hadn't even noticed French Fries. It was good though, just a bit disappointing compared to our excitation. Late afternoon, one other table of patrons and two waiters/bar tenders working. Next time I visit the Fairchild Gardens, I'll dine somewhere else

    Such a pleasant surprise! I've passed by this place so often because it's right by my Pilates but finale went after church one day. The food was DELICIOUS and such a large portion. Service was pleasant and quick. They validate your parking here btw! It was really cute, yummy, and a fun time!

    The tapas were excellent. Stuffed dates with blue cheese wrapped in bacon and croquetas with prosciutto & cheese. The burger was good, except we asked for it to be medium, but came out raw. Sent it back and it came back med rare. We just decided to eat it. Server was good but not sure she spoke much English so wasn't too personable. The two servers, were serving, hosting and bartending Place was nice inside.

    Grilled chicken breast and side Cesar salad

    Always looking to try and support new local restaurants. This restaurant is located in Downtown Dadeland and has both indoor and outdoor seating. They start you off with warm rolls, but the garlic herb butter steals this show. For our entrees we had Milanesa Felipe, which was a thin piece of chicken, breaded and fried. It was supposed to be topped with tomato sauce, which was missing and the chicken could have used some, but there was plenty of cheese and pepperonis. The other entree was a grilled chicken breast which was nicely done and juicy, although a little to salty for my licking. For our side we both got Cesar salads which the romaine lettuce was ripped into small pieces which was nice, it was soggy like it had sat in dressing for a long time. We will definitely go back and try some other entrees.

    Tiramisu , you should try it is different than all the others - excellent
    Carlo V.

    Came to this place on a Saturday night, they had live music and it was packed. The food was excellent not expensive. They service spotless, and the location very nice. There's nothing not to like about this place. If you're ever in the area of the Dadeland mall come to this place , you will be very glad.

    I wish downtown dadeland was more popular. It's a cool little area and there are so many restaurants to try out. I went to la vida misma for the first time Wednesday evening. They had happy hour 2x1 drink specials from 5 to close. Didn't try any but definitely plan to on a weekend. Started off with the brie butterfly - it's super cute and enough to split in half to share a tiny bite with your date if they want to try it. The Dates were good - not bad and not the best I've ever had. The croquetas were so delicious - will probably order every time I go back. Definitely the favorite for both of us. It's in a tomato sauce that really should just be a tomato bisque soup on there menu lol. It was so creamy and so delicious. The croquetas order comes with 3 (round) meatball sized so you can share. Entrees: flank steak with loaded mashed and fiocchi Di Peta & Gorgonzola (delicious!!!! And reminded me of the old perricones). Steak was big and we ended up sharing both things because we liked both so much. Juanes was the server and bartender for basically the entire restaurant and he was killing it. He was as attentive to all the tables and it was busy and almost closing and the food was still coming out at a good pace. There was a table or 15 guests that could have slowed production but they handled it well. They even had him taking pictures for them (while he was running around) and he did so kindly.

From the second you pull up the driveway, you are greeted by rolling rows of vines and an atmosphere that instantly makes you drop your shoulders and relax. It completely lives up to its name--the vibe is effortlessly mellow, sophisticated, and incredibly welcoming. Here is why this place has officially become my absolute favorite spot: 1. The Wine & Food Pairings are Masterful The culinary team here clearly works hand-in-hand with the winemakers, because the pairings are flawless. We started with a crisp, beautifully balanced white blend paired with an artisanal charcuterie board featuring locally sourced cheeses and a phenomenal house-made fig jam. For the main course, the slow-braised short rib literally melted off the bone, and when paired with their estate estate Syrah, it was pure magic. Every bite was an absolute home run. 2. Breathtaking Atmosphere & Ambiance The design of the restaurant strikes the perfect balance between rustic vineyard charm and modern elegance. We sat out on the covered patio, which offers sweeping, unobstructed views of the vineyard. As the sun began to set, they lit the fire pits and turned on string lights, creating an incredibly romantic, warm glow across the entire space. It's the kind of environment where you just want to linger for hours over dessert and another bottle. 3. World-Class Hospitality What truly elevates Mellow Grapes is the service. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable without an ounce of pretentiousness. They walked us through the tasting notes of each wine, shared the history of the vineyard, and gave us brilliant recommendations based on our personal palates. The pace of the meal was perfect--we never felt rushed, yet we were perfectly looked after the entire evening. The Verdict Mellow Grapes is an absolute gem. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning a perfect date night, or just want to treat yourself to an exquisite meal and fantastic wine, this place delivers on every front. The passion behind the food, the wine, and the hospitality is evident in every single detail. I'm already counting down the days until my next visit. Cheers to the team for creating such a spectacular experience!
