The space has this underground, hidden-away feeling, and all the comic-style, collectible card-inspired decor and menus are incredibly cool. There are so many little details that add to the experience. The service was excellent. They seated us right away, and the drinks were thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and delicious. I especially loved the way each cocktail was brought out and explained, down to the ingredients and details. It almost had that fine-dining level of presentation and attention, but with cocktails. The combination of the atmosphere, creative drinks, and great service made the whole experience feel unique. Definitely a great date spot and somewhere I would absolutely come back to.

As you enter, you feel like you're walking down a street in Japan where the locals hang. The bar is a cool vibe with different crafted cocktails. The bar menu is inspired by monsters, such as Godzilla and the Yeti and the drinks are interesting. If you like to try mixed crafter cocktails then this bar is for you. The bartenders were all friendly and provided excelent service.

It feels like a big maze, where you keep discovering something new. Their nights vary with different events from djs to jazz and they have a variety of food on given nights. When I went they had pizza and tacos. A main bar with cocktails, a wine bar, and beer bar. I opted for the vodka passion fruit cocktail. It was pretty tasty, just had too much ice. It comes in a cute re-usable plastic cup. Staff was nice and helpful throughout the venue. There is seating scattered throughout Understory for food or just to relax. Definitely want to come back again soon!

Picture this - you walk into a tropical oasis and have the option of cocktails from Jaguar sun, wine selections from Bad Seed - a new wine bar pop up from Karina and the folks at Niu Wine -, rotating food from some of Miami's most loved chefs and last but not least - MUSIC! You'd think these folks just took your best friends magical back yard and created the most fun party in their house, but instead its at Understory and you can enjoy this oasis weekly on Thursday's and Fridays. I went for the first time last Thursday where I got to try a rum punch but with Mezcal that was delish. Then I moved on to a selection of delish wines and pizza by Flour and Weirdoughs. To say the vibe is impeccable is an understatement. I happily stayed until they closed at midnight, passing the time hanging out with friends and listening to the most fire playlist. They also have live jazz that starts at 9, which you can't really hear from the wine bar area since the space is so large, and DJs later in the evening as well as Friday. You can enjoy free entry before 8:30 pm. The best way to stay up to date on their weekly pop ups is to follow them on IG at @Understorymia. Can't wait to return!

The wedge salad was phenomenal -- honestly, a dish on its own. The sausage was good, but nothing I'd lose sleep over. The steaks, however, were perfect: beautifully cooked, incredibly flavorful, and exactly what you want from a great steakhouse. Then came the strawberry shortcake -- WOW. Easily one of the highlights of the night. Service was also top-notch throughout the meal. And then... the "kitchen tour." What a clever little production. We were enthusiastically sold this "special moment" of seeing the kitchen, only to eventually realize that the magical journey had one very practical purpose: they wanted our table back. And voilà! Before you know it, you've been politely bamboozled out of your table and strategically relocated near the front door. Bravo! Sunny's, we're adults. Just say, "Guys, we need the table -- would you mind continuing at the bar?" DONE. No hard feelings. We understand how restaurants work. There's really no need for the customized kitchen-tour charade just to get us out of our seats. It was awkward and honestly a little embarrassing, and it left a surprisingly bad taste after what had been such an excellent experience. Do better with this, Sunny's. The restaurant, food, and service are too good to end the evening with something that feels so unnecessary and disingenuous. Will we come back? Absolutely. The food was that good.

A large group of us gathered here for dinner and late-night drinks on a Friday night. This is a fun, happening spot. It's ideal if you're looking for a casual, laid-back night out in Miami. The rooftop can handle a lot of people. My wife and I ordered food downstairs at Manjay, the Caribbean/Haitian stall at the food court, and took it up to the rooftop (there's an elevator). You are allowed to do this at the Citadel (take food from the food court up to the roof). Staff on the rooftop will bus trays and tableware. I recommend Manjay, by the way, and left a review for it separately here on Yelp. On the rooftop, I had a couple of martinis, one extra dirty. They were well made and delicious. Our friends had a variety of drinks including beer (e.g., Monopolio Mexican amber lager). Pint glasses were served iced over which is certainly nice in the South Florida heat. Service was good. The staff was nice. Several of the chairs had holes in the seats, so that was annoying. The vibe was lively and friendly. Good music.

It was giving either Sottovoce or Magie vibes if you've been to any of those. The jazz music was outside and it was really hot. So I ordered a cocktail by the name of Pampa y la Via that was both refreshing and delicious but lacking a punch unfortunately. I then just decided to drink a few glasses of white wine which is my go to anyway. Got a little hungry but didn't want to eat heavy. Wanted more like to munch on something so I ordered the aperitivo plate consisting of stuffed pizza bites, one with peppers and one pepperoni. Reminded me of Annie's pizza poppers but obviously elevated. From trying that small app I gathered that pizza is one of their specialties so I'll be coming back to test that theory. The waitstaff is very attentive and welcoming. Outside area is very dim lit and kinda romantic and intimate if you ask me so it would be perfect for a date too. They do have a private parking lot but it isn't too big and street parking is non existent so get there at least 20 minutes before your reservation, if you make any.

The only downfall is that it took forever. When you order your food, they give you a buzzer, but the buzzer beeps and does not vibrate. The DJ plus the ambience makes it really hard to ever hear your buzzer. They should really invest in vibrating ones, either way food took a really long time crazy because food is served tapas style. I liked the seating. It's open and just chill overall. You can sit at a table, a lounge chair, or even opt to play dominoes.

The meatball is one of the best meatballs I've had in Miami. I tend to rate Italian restaurants based on their meatballs since it's such a classic, and I may have a bit of high standards when it comes to them, and I can not get over Bar Bucce's meatball. Then we got the panini special for the day and the bread was insanely delicious and all the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh. OH! And last but not least, the olive oil cake was truly outstanding. They have a stacked calendar of fun events and pop-ups too that make it a beautiful place to find community in the city, so I am beyond excited to come back and experience Bar Bucce for many times to come!

It also carries a lot of Italian products,for instance, I found apple cookies here that I hadn't been able to find anywhere else. Service was good, though no one ever came by to clear the plates from the table, which matters to me since I like to linger and chat after the meal, and having all the dishes piled up in the middle isn't very comfortable. It's self-service, but they're still supposed to come by and clear the table. 100% recommended!

The restaurant is conveniently located right on the downtown strip with free street parking nearby, which is always a plus. The atmosphere was inviting from the moment we walked in. The host welcomed us and told us we could sit anywhere we liked, so we chose a quieter table away from the bar area. There is also a stage section that looked perfect for live music nights, although there was no entertainment during our visit. Overall, the ambiance was trendy, relaxed, and had a great neighborhood feel. They also appeared to have some very good happy hour specials for those who drink. Our server was very sweet and offered several recommendations. We decided to share the burrata appetizer and the skirt steak dinner. The steak arrived first and looked absolutely beautiful. The quality of the meat itself was outstanding and cooked very well. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable charred flavor from what seemed like a dirty grill, which took away from an otherwise excellent steak. It was disappointing because the quality of the meat was truly superb. The fries were also surprisingly good and almost tasted closer to sweet potato fries. At that point, we realized our burrata appetizer had been forgotten. Once we flagged down our server, she immediately corrected the mistake and brought it out quickly. Thankfully, it was absolutely delicious and ended up being one of the highlights of the meal. The fresh burrata paired perfectly with the heirloom tomatoes and tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. Toward the end of dinner, service became difficult again. We were ready for more water, a box, and the check, but our server was nowhere to be found despite the restaurant not being particularly busy since it was still early in the evening. I eventually had to get up and ask the bartender for assistance. Overall, I really enjoyed the ambiance and appreciated the quality of the food. There were definitely some service inconsistencies, but the restaurant has a lot of potential and several dishes that stood out.

I'd heard about Magie for a while from friends in the natural wine scene in Orlando and had to visit while in town. There is convenient (although somewhat limited) parking just to the side of the building, and entering feels like you just entered your cool friend's house. We almost sat inside on a couple of sofas, but opted to brave the humid Miami heat on the back porch/terrace since they were playing the World Cup game on a projection screen. The back is huge and has several sitting areas, including on an elevated porch with fans, as well as couches and bistro tables set up on the pavers down below. There is foliage everywhere and you feel transported (you'd have no clue this business was on a busy road). We got a couple of bottles of wine from their fridges, along with a smattering of shareable dishes from the kitchen (ordered inside). Everything was delightful and we were loving life (again- even in the humid summer heat!). I'd definitely return and enjoy the interior next time. Love a good wine and nosh spot and this is solidly at the top of my list when visiting Miami!

I've been multiple times and it's always such a vibe. The space feels intimate and cozy while still being casual, plus they have both indoor and outdoor seating. Everything is mostly self service.

You can also build your own charcuterie and they have a few hot food options. I tried the croquetas and they were amazing! Service is pretty straightforward since it's self service, and if you order food you pick it up from the window when it's ready. Such a cute, comfortable spot that I'll continue coming back to.
