Perfect place for a quick bite. I wasn't too hungry, but wasn't sure what to order. Our waiter recommended the skirt steak as a house favorite, and he was definitely right. It was cooked to absolute perfection and had a great flavor. Our service from our waiter, as well as others near by, made the experience fun and enjoyable. We were seated right out front, and it wasn't too warm, so it made our lunch that much more comfortable.

Food 7/10 Ambiance 9/10 Service 7/10 Nice restaurant with average food in south beach that's across from the beach. Prices were reasonable but 20% gratuity fee is included and when we asked the waiter, he said it wasn't. For the meals posted we spent about $200 not including the gratuity and tax.

*Consider this review to be more of a 3.5* With lots of choices on the ocean dr strip it can be overwhelming trying to pick a place for dinner. This restaurant is located as part of The Gabriel hotel. Prices are average (higher end but not crazy). Like the rest of the restaurants here they're eager to gain your patronage. You can literally negotiate deals for drinks / dinner before sitting down if you feel up to it! Since we were staying at the Gabriel we simply went there for convenience. It was our last night in Miami and thought it would be fun to watch the crowds of people streaming along the sidewalk. I'm not sure what kind of atmosphere this restaurant is going for. Music selection was all over the place. But it looked nice and the servers were energetic and friendly. We ordered sparkling water and I had an old fashioned. I'm not sure which bourbon they used, but it wasn't very good. It tasted pretty cheap but I was worried if I sent it back or asked for a different bourbon of choice I'd get hit w a steep up-charge so I decided not to say anything. For food we had the trio of dips w pita bread. It was good! The baba ghanoush was our least fav tho. For dinner my wife ordered the half lemon chicken and she enjoyed it. I had the spicy shrimp linguini (house made pasta) and was actually surprised by how much I liked it - and it was a nice large portion. Prices for the meals we ordered were fair - they did have some options that were priced extremely high for a restaurant hotel - I wouldn't get them here personally. Overall, a super solid experience. We were never rushed, had good food, and enjoyed people watching as they explored the night life. If you're staying at the Gabriel or a nearby hotel and don't feel like taking an uber out I'd say it's worth stopping here.

Located inside the Gabriel Hotel, it is the restaurant on the property. The food was ok, prices were a bit high. We ordered a Greek omelette and an avocado toast. I thought the avocado toast was just average. The hard boiled egg looked over cooked. The omelette was way better. Toast was bit browner than expected but tasted good. My biggest issue with the place is the cleanliness. The planter had jelly on it. Service was a bit slow in the beginning but I think they only had one server on site.

Eggs (over hard for me) and avocado toast. I'm not a fan of poached so this was a much better alternative.

This is a great place, with great food, close to the beach where people watching is top-notch.

Watermelon and Feta Salad, Grilled Octopus, whole Branzino with side of mashed potatoes and asparagus

Great meal and service! Husband got the whole branzino, which was cooked perfectly- crisp outside and tender inside. I got the grilled octopus and a watermelon feta salad. One of the best meals of our trip!

My bartender Smilie was good. We had a good time. the only thing he charged me for bread. Never told me there was going to be a charge.

My friends and I were walking down trying to find a restaurant to eat at. The waiter approached us walking past the outdoor dining area and said that they are serving free tequila and there is a large sign that says buy 1 get 1 free drink. It's pretty humid and they have fans outside. I asked to turn a fan on, which he did but as soon as another table was seated he turned the fan up to the tent ceiling which defeats the purpose. So atmosphere wise it was uncomfortable especially with them having the resources to assist. We asked about the tequila shots and the waiter said he cannot get them from the bar until we order drinks. We placed our drink and food orders. After getting our food we asked again about the tequila and he came off as confused which was awkward. Now he is telling us that we cannot get the tequila shots without doing a review. So he leaves for a while to bring back these review cards. He then asks us to show him our reviews and literally opens his phone to check the reviews to ensure that we did them. He Says he cannot get the tequila shots without showing the bartender. At this point i dont want the tequila so I decline. The waiter at some point asks us if we want our free drink. I tell him i just want my husband's drink counted as my free drink. The waiter says we cannot do that because buy one get one is only per person. But we could order our drinks to go. Annoyed but we do that... now here is the kicker... my friend didn't want her free drink so the waiter literally states that he can order it for her husband to take(who didn't order any mixed drinks. Which doesn't make any sense because if that's the case my husband's drink should be able to count as my second drink. We asked for the check 3 times and the waiter kept walking back and forth even though he had the electronic check/card reader right in his pocket. My husbands food order wasn't correct and the food was soo mid for a $400 bill. Highly don't recommend.

If I could give this restaurant a 6 I 100% would. The service, atmosphere, and food was delicious! Our server Korey was on it! He made sure our water was filled and we were happy customers. I absolutely love Mediterranean food and Meet Dalia lived up to the expectation. We started out with the trio dip platter, out of the 3 the Tzatziki was the table favorite. It was unlike any tzatziki I've ever tasted, it was super thick. The pita which was served with the dish was fresh baked to order. Moving on, our two entree dishes, grilled and lemon chicken, were extraordinary! The lemon has the perfect amount of zest and the vegetables with the grilled chicken were seasoned to perfection. The inside was very clean and lovely, would eat here again!

Alex A.

Good Mediterranean food with all day (you need to ask) happy hour drinks only--no food--noting you must order at min a medium cocktail and the 2nd one is free. This can be the same flavor or different--again noting the med cocktail is $29 for one and you get the other free). Connected to the Hilton Curio Gabriel hotel/Park.

Laura D.

Wow wow wow! I spent my birthday here and the experience was amazing!! Our server, Gustavo, even pulled out my chair for me and there were so many super nice people checking on us the whole time. The food and drinks were super duper yummy, and we sat inside where it is really pretty and all the chairs are so comfy. The whole experience made me feel so special for my birthday, I would highly recommend coming here for a regular night or a special occasion!

Corey P.

Service was fine, food is far below average. In a town with amazing dining options I would find another option. Pictured is their "half chicken" which is a butterflied chicken breast with unseasoned box rice.

The Huervos Rancheros was very disappointing. It was basically scrambled eggs on top of colored nacho chips and salsa with some cilantro on it. I had to add salt and hot sauce to give it enough flavor to get down. The pancakes were very thick and dry. The eggs Benedict w/ smoked salmon was very good which is why I rated it at a 3. Waiter was very friendly but I had to wait around for the check so long that the rest of my party left. The place itself was nice, but definitely not worth a trip back. read more

We waited so long for a lemon chicken and salad. (usually it's slow cooked but not that slow) When it came, the food was ok except the rice which wasn't really cooked for me. (believe me, that wasn't the al dante if it was the intention) Ambiance and service were good. Yet, I didn't experience anything different, "very tasty" or unique. For me, just an average restaurant with the south beach price tags. Overall, I don't regret but I wouldn't come back, sorry. read more

Meet Dalia was strictly a cocktail stop. We went to the bar area and sat in the cushy lounge chairs. We ordered a Purple Lady and a Sweet Seduction. The Purple Lady was served in a martini glass... deliciously sweet and not too strong. The marigold on top was a cute touch. Sweet Seduction was our favorite drink of the day. A tad smoky, very smooth bourbon with sweetness and a touch of bitterness. Truly a drink like no other. The atmosphere is very comfortable but a step above beachwear. The bartender polite and friendly, without being overbearing. Worth a stop for a cocktail and a break from the heat. read more

Today 9/10 we ate at Meet Dalia. If I Can give them a negative 5 star I would. We had lunch for two. First they convinced us by offering us 2 for 1 drinks with free shots. We ordered two filet mignon, two alcohol drinks and one virgen margarita, oysters and a desert. It came out to 258$. The gratitude was automatically added which the service did not deserve. The fillet looked to be about 4 ounces. I asked for medium rare and they over cooked and burned one. The oysters were dry and were the smallest oysters I have ever seen (the size of a quarter). The free shots never came and the two for one drink also never came they said they gave us the free virgen drink. The alcohol used to make the drinks were sour and cheap. In the end we said oh well. But then the disrespect was that we paid for a dessert to go and it turned out that they didn't have it available. So we asked for a refund and they told us no with an attitude saying to fuck off, that they don't do refunds but they can give us a "free" shot. When the first free shots offered never came in the first place. My desert was twice the price of the "free" shot they would have given me. But what about the actual the desert we paid for. When the people arriving heard they got up to leave and the server told us to please not say anything. We traveled from California to Miami for one day and I'm leaving with a bad taste. read more

Swizzle Rum Bar & Drinkery

I finally found a bar in South Beach with a nice chill vibe. It was busy when we arrived but…read morefortunate to find a table to sit down and sip on some drinks. The staff here was also very welcoming and friendly. I tried their Mamey Swizzle and instantly fell in love. It came with rum, Mezcal, mamey-ginger puree and Jamaican bitters. We had mojitos during our dinner and some more mojitos at another bar that I didn't have that great of a vibe. So it's fair to say we had enough alcohol to call it a night, but this Mamet swizzle was so delicious I had to order another one.

The drinks were really good, and as expected in a place like this, a bit on the expensive side, but at Swizzle you have a mixologist preparing your cocktails, which always heightens the quality! It was nice to find an intimate place in Miami Beach to kick back enjoy a cocktail and just have some nice conversation, and some people watching with each other.

Learned a lot about the group that owns this spot from our friendly bartenders. Drinks were good, the playlist matched the loungey vibe, and the prices were in line with what you'd expect (gratuity included). Overall, a nice early nightcap. We did pop our head in last year around 10:00 p.m., and the place was ramping up. I've no doubt it's a great scene the later you get.

Pretty cool to know that they have been rated as one of the 50 best bars in the WORLD. That's a pretty big achievement to accomplish. Parking can be tricky, you may find street parking. If not you can park at the lot by the beach. Other than that, you should be right on your way to having a great night.

We said we'd come back to her place later, and she said, "Yes, check out that place then come back HERE." We didn't go back to her place because Delirio was fabulous. Yes, the drinks were expensive, but all the drinks everywhere were expensive, so we knew that going in. We each had one drink, sat outside near the pool for awhile and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I love the decor in the bar itself, and the bartender and other patrons were friendly. Love the Delirio!

(Tripadvisor⁠) As someone who doesn't eat meat, I appreciated that there were vegetarian options available. I ordered the avocado toast, which was fresh but fairly ordinary and lacked the flavor I was hoping for. It was good, just not memorable. Overall, The Social Club is worth visiting for the atmosphere, drinks, and people-watching, but I expected more from the food. I'd consider going back for the vibe, though I'd probably try something different from the menu next time.

This…read moreis a typical tourist trap probably connected with the local cartel that keeps market prices high and overcharge tourists staying in the walkable area. Their tacos are not bad but for street tacos they are pricey even during happy hour. They charge a standard 18% gratuity. They might as well charge that fee into the food price because it is mandatory but most likely they separate the line item to avoid additional sales tax on revenue. The place is dark and dingy for a highly rated place. After this first day experience in south beach im avoiding any of the other popular tourist restaurants for the rest of my stay. Stick with other non traditional places along Collins and Washington and you should be fine.

They had a band with a singer the night I went. I thought it was open roof, but it's not. It was pretty warm in there. They have fans but none of them was pointing towards our table. I got the Caesar as an app and the Salmon as my main. We shared the Caesar and we all thought it was great! It had a good blend of anchovy, creamy, with lemon zest to it. The flavors all balanced out well. I thought the salon was pretty good! It was a good cut of salmon that was flakey and fatty. I also tried the rigatoni which was good, but not the best I've had. I liked the Tiramisu! It was very creamy. The lady fingers were pretty soft. I usually like mine with a little more structure and coffee flavor to it.

The drinks are definitely expensive, but that is to be expected in South Beach. The only complaint is the bartenders I visited on the bottom floor to the left bar in the back and upstairs in the DJ room looked like they did not want to be there. Perhaps, this place is too wild for a continuous eight hour shift? Who knows. The jovial atmosphere in this place makes you forget quickly though. I think I stayed here until 2am dancing my ass off.

Then, when I received my bill, there was an additional $0.25 'health insurance' charge. The amount isn't the issue--it's the principle. Costs like employee health insurance should be built into prices, not added as surprise fees. To make matters worse, when I asked about the charge, the server couldn't explain what it was or why it was being added, so I left with more questions than answers. Between the cover charge, unexpected fees, and lack of transparency, the whole experience felt like a tourist trap. Customers deserve clear pricing and straightforward explanations of any charges before they're added to the bill.

I recently found myself at Meets Dahlia in South Beach when the place I initially planned to go for oysters during brunch wasn't serving them. Luckily, Meets Dahlia was just around the corner, and it turned out to be a delightful surprise. What made my visit even better was the fact that they were offering a happy hour special on Sundays due to race week. The oysters were priced at an incredible $1.50 each, making it a fantastic deal. I couldn't resist indulging in a dozen oysters, which came to less than $10 with a generous tip. The bar area had a nice ambiance with a welcoming lobby and comfortable seating. The air conditioning added to the overall comfort, making it a pleasant place to relax and enjoy some oysters. The staff members were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The oysters themselves were fresh and delicious, exceeding my expectations considering the great price. Each one was beautifully shucked and full of flavor. It was evident that Meets Dahlia takes pride in serving quality seafood. Considering the excellent happy hour oyster deal, the friendly service, and the enjoyable atmosphere, I would gladly return to Meets Dahlia for more happy hour oysters. If you're a fan of oysters and looking for a place with a good deal, this is definitely worth checking out. I'm glad I stumbled upon Meets Dahlia and had the opportunity to savor their delicious oysters. I highly recommend giving them a try, especially during their happy hour. read more

Absolutely, here's a more personalized and vivid review for Sarah at Meet Dahia: --- Dining at Meet Dahia was an absolute delight, thanks in no small part to Sarah, our exceptional server. From the moment we walked in, Sarah's genuine warmth and enthusiasm made us feel right at home. Sarah's service was nothing short of extraordinary. She struck the perfect balance between being attentive and giving us space, ensuring our drinks were always topped up and that we had everything we needed. What truly set her apart was her deep knowledge of the local scene. Sarah's recommendations for nearby spots to explore were spot on and added an extra layer of enjoyment to our visit. Her passion for her work and her thoughtful, professional approach made Sarah the highlight of our evening. If you're planning a visit to Meet Dahia, do yourself a favor and ask for Sarah. She's a shining star and made our dining experience truly memorable. Thank you, Sarah, for going above and beyond to make our evening special. We can't wait to return! --- read more

We had a delightful breakfast at Meet Dalia on South Beach before heading to our cruise. The ambiance was cheerful, setting a positive tone for our day. Our server, Olyn, was particularly impressive--attentive, friendly, and perfectly in tune with our needs. He kept our coffees filled and our spirits high, making every part of our meal enjoyable. The standout dish was the crispy French toast, recommended by Olyn. It was perfectly prepared, golden-brown with the right crunch and topped with fresh fruits. Olyn's efficient and warm service, coupled with his excellent recommendations, made our experience at Meet Dalia truly special. If you're in the area, this place is a must-visit--be sure to ask for Olyn! read more

The ambiance is nice. The prices, however, and portions are a rip off. A half-chicken I ordered came out as a single chicken breast. (When I brought this to the attention of the server, he said that the fact that the chicken was organic resulted in the smaller portion. Considering the entree was listed as a half chicken, I dont know how it being organic resulted in the leg and thigh disappearing!) The salmon is a 3" square. The pasta dishes are heavy on the amount of pasta but light on the add in's (seafood, etc.). They charge a mandatory 20% service charge and are then angry if you don't pay another 20% on top of that. Might be nice for cocktails, but go elsewhere for dinner. read more
