From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is beautiful, romantic, and perfect for a date night, birthday, celebration, or even just a fun night out with friends. The food was delicious and there are so many options to choose from, including seafood, steaks, pasta, paella, ceviche, empanadas, tapas, and other Latin and Mediterranean inspired dishes. The wine selection and cocktails are also a big part of the experience, and everything goes really well together. Great service can really make a difference, and they definitely made our experience better. I also really enjoyed the live music. It gives the restaurant a fun energy and makes dinner feel more like an experience. They also have different events, wine tastings, themed nights, happy hour, brunch, and special celebrations throughout the year. Their wine program and Wine Club are another nice touch for anyone who enjoys discovering different wines. The decor is great and there are plenty of great spots for pictures. I can definitely see why people come here for birthdays, anniversaries, date nights, brunch, and other special occasions. A Love Story Winery & Bistro is a great combination of good food, wine, live music, beautiful atmosphere, and friendly service. A special thank you to Alvaro, Angelica, and Fernando for making our visit so enjoyable. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun and memorable night in Miami!

I loved how the tour was small making it feel like a more intimate experience. They gave us a sample of their guava cider which was absolutely delicious, we actually ended up purchasing some to take home. The wine tasting was so fun as we were able to choose which ones we wanted to try. The servers were so helpful and knowledge on which ones to try and which to stay away from if there was one in particular you didnt like. The grounds were also very beautiful. Overall, this was a fun activity to do on a Saturday!

This is an interesting pit stop if you're in South Florida. We went because it was mentioned in…read moresome TV shows and was something that stood out as unusual. But, it is really quite small. If this was a $10 admission fee, I'd probably add one star. But, they charge $25/pp and there's not much to the place. All that said....is it interesting? Sure. It makes you wonder why the guy who built the place obsessively worked to make it. The story about his lost love gives his the motivation. Still, pretty incredible that he went to this effort by himself.

My husband has wanted to come here ever since he was a kid, after hearing Leonard Nimoy talk about…read moreit on his show In Search Of.... Hubs told me about it, and then we heard about it together on Coast to Coast Am, early in our marriage. I had forgotten all about it until we were planning our trip to the Keys and my husband brought it up, so, we made it a priority to visit. Homestead is basically the last city you hit on the mainland before you begin your journey through the Keys, so you don't really have to make special plans to get here if you're heading there. Admission is $25 per adult, slightly less for children. With tax and a credit card convenience fee of $1.50, our total admission cost was $55. Personally, I think it was worth it, but then, I am into the weird stuff. The place can accomodate at least 100 people, but due to the oddity of the place and, I'm guessing, it's lack of notoriety, it doesn't seem to get very busy. There were maybe 25-30 people in the 2.5 hours we spent there. Coral Castle is almost entirely outdoors and exposed to the elements, so it is not really a castle. There are sitting areas, a dining area, bathing area and one enclosed living (sleeping) area. The living area could be called a tower, as it is two floors, but 1) You only get to see the lower floor which is now kind of a tool shed museum and 2) You can peek in it, but you can't actually go in it. Everything is made of a type of stone called oolite limestone. It is extremely strong and very heavy. The mystery of the castle is how it was built. How did one 5' tall man move multiple stones, weighing a ton or more, by himself? How did he make his stone chairs rock, and his stone gates turn? He claimed to know the secrets of the pyramid builders, and to this day, no one really knows how he did it. There are guided tours at regularly scheduled intervals, and you can join in anytime at no additional charge (recommended), or you can walk around and look at everything yourself, but there is no signage. You can stay as long as you want and take as many pictures as you want as well. There is a gift shop which has a cutout of Edward Leedskalnin, the man who built Coral Castle, that you can take a photo of or selfie with, along with the usual gift shop fare of shirts/sweatshirts, postcards, magnets, books, and other items. If you're looking for something interesting and unusual to do on the way to the Keys, I highly suggest a stop here. 99/2025

The owner greeted us and helped us choose our glasses of wine. We were able to talk about our trip to Argentina with him, and he taught us about traditional vs non-traditional Malbec that he has in the shop. Along the wall, the wine is sorted into fun categories such as "Miami summer", "wine for pasta", and "a love letter to Argentina". We ended up buying a unique bottle to give as a gift. While the husband is the sommelier, his wife does the food program. We weren't hungry so didn't try anything, but are looking forward to returning. This is a wonderful family owned business to support if you love good wine and are in the area.

Review of The Rusty Pelican -- Key Biscayne, Florida Aug . 15, 2926…read more I would give The Rusty Pelican in Key Biscayne a C - based on our recent experience. I ordered my steak rare, but it arrived closer to medium and had to be sent back. Unfortunately, it took approximately 30 minutes for the replacement to arrive. The second steak was better, but the delay was disappointing. The private room where our group of 18 was seated was another concern. The room was too warm (the management knew it kept say it will get cooler after 3 hour it did not happen ) and too small for our group, with two round tables that made conversation difficult. The overall atmosphere was not particularly comfortable for a group of that size. The service was also only fair. While the servers were courteous, the overall level of service did not meet the expectations I would have for a restaurant of this type. Considering the food preparation issues, the long wait for the replacement steak, the uncomfortable room, and the mediocre service, I would not recommend The Rusty Pelican for a group event or special occasion.

The Cellar Club is located in the lower lobby of The Biltmore Hotel and has always been a good spot to grab a drink. I think the last time I was there was when I was a bridesmaid in a wedding and a few of us popped in for a quick cocktail pre-ceremony. Fast forward to last night where I went for a wine with two of my girlfriends. This is an indoor bar, and it is on the smaller side. There are a few tables on either side that fit 3 guests, and a bar that socially distant seats about 2. They have plexiglas at the bar to seperate the bartender from the guest. Bravo! As for the small tables - they are pretty far apart and thus made me feel super comfortable hanging out there. Each table has a bottle of hand sanitizer, and the staff wears masks the whole time. Jorge was our bartender and he was awesome. I opted for sancere, my friend got a delicious looking French Martini and my other girlfriend a sav blanc. We also got a charcuterie board. You can order 3 items from their meat/cheese menu for $20 or 5 for $25. Total no brainer to get 5 for $25. The boar salami and truffle cheese were my favorite. Will most definitely be back. Not related to The Cellar, but I am always so grateful that the Biltmore has so much parking and it's free! Not many luxury hotels in Miami can boast free parking, which is a total perk for visiting one of the many dining/drinking options within the Biltmore to grab a cocktail.

Besides how we liked his personality and attention to detail, he was great at multitasking and making sure everything was going well with us and our orders, despite also attending to other tables. He truly made us feel special. Thank you Elon! Now, I've never had a bad experience with any of the food. Below will be my top picks for appetizers and entrees. Appetizers: 1. Drunken Shrimp - you can never go wrong! It comes with 6 bacon wrapped shrimp and the perfect amount of guacamole w/ each shrimp. 2. Chicken Potstickers - good comfort option. I also enjoy the Asian slaw it comes with. 3. Over the border egg rolls - good option to be shared as it is a lot of food for an appetizer. Entrees: 1. Pasta - Gnocchi Carbonara 2. Red wine braised short ribs 3. Blackened Ahi Tuna 4. Chicken Giardiniera We have so many memories in Cooper's hawk and can't wait to continue making some more with good company, great wine, and awesome food.
