The beef carpaccio was super fresh and perfectly balanced. The skirt steak? So good and tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. But the standout for me was the tuna tostones... obsessed. And the manchego croquetas were the perfect bite. Definitely one of those spots where you want to order a little of everything and share. We'll 100% be back!

This food gem located in Pinecrest is worth visiting...!…read more Ambiance -- Beautiful atmosphere for either a date night or a family dining experience or celebration. It is charming and welcoming. Service -- Exceptional, professional, and attentive service from the moment you sit down to the moment you depart. Food -- Oh goodness...!! Went on Tomahawk Tuesday and it didn't disappoint. This meal comes with a succulent 64oz [comes also in a 32oz] Tomahawk steak, salad, side dish, and dessert. *Salad ordered -- Charred Caesar: Not your usual salad drenched with dressing, but a perfectly crafted, wood-fired delight. *Side dish -- Pomme Purée [mash potatoes]: A perfect pairing for the steak with a hint of garlic that added to its deliciousness. *Dessert -- The "Garden": A beautiful dessert masterpiece. It's a rich and succulent cheesecake garnished with liquid nitrogen frozen rose petals. It is a visual delight but even better tasting. It is fine dining at its best and worth every penny. Can't wait to go back...!

We brought my sister for her birthday lunch, and from the moment we sat down outside, it just felt right. Blue skies, that warm Miami breeze, the kind of afternoon that makes you slow down and actually enjoy the people you're with. Sitting on the patio along South Dixie Highway, you get that classic local seafood vibe without any pretense. Just fresh air, fresh fish, and good energy. Now let's talk about the service, because it deserves its own spotlight. I'm totally blind, and if you've followed my reviews before, you know I notice how places handle that. Our server was phenomenal. She was attentive without hovering, detailed without being overwhelming, and helpful without a hint of being patronizing. She clearly paid attention to where everything was placed, described the dishes in a way that made them come alive, and made sure I could navigate the table comfortably. That balance is rare. It's professionalism mixed with genuine care. Thank you for that. It mattered. And the food. Wow. We started with the tuna wontons and conch fritters. Both were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. The tuna was bright and clean, with just the right crunch from the wonton. The fritters were golden and crisp outside, tender inside, with that classic South Florida seasoning that makes you want "just one more." I had the lobster bisque, and it was rich without being heavy. Smooth, creamy, layered with flavor, and clearly made with real attention to detail. My sister's boyfriend ordered the shrimp tacos, and they were loaded, well-balanced, and packed with fresh seafood flavor. My wife had the grouper fillet, grilled to perfection. I sampled both my sister's blackened fish and my wife's grilled grouper. The blackened had that beautiful, slightly spicy crust that wakes up your palate without overpowering the fish. The grilled version had what tasted like an Old Bay style seasoning that complemented the natural sweetness of the grouper perfectly. Everything was cooked exactly right. Nothing overdone. Nothing rushed. Just quality seafood handled the way it should be. All in all, it was a fantastic birthday lunch. Great service. Great food. Classic South Florida atmosphere. And the best part for us, it's right near home, which means we'll absolutely be back. If you're looking for a relaxed, authentic seafood experience in Miami, Golden Rule Seafood delivers.

The music was nice and people were having a good time. The menu was extensive but in the end, I selected one of the popular dishes; fried snapper with a side of asparagus and red beans and rice (FYI this is considered two items). The fish was fresh, flavorful and plenty. The rice and beans and asparagus were also good. My friends had the Mahi, sliders, Debby side salad and the salmon dish. One person thought the salmon dish was ok, but everyone else was impressed with their own dish. The key lime pie was too tart and sweet for me, but it was good in spite of that. The other guests LOVED it! After brunch, I went to check out the market that offered amazing seasoning, fish, dips and other treats for good prices. Derrick offered excellent service to everyone when it came to welcoming us and selecting fish. I was impressed and will certainly be back. Check them out and enjoy!

The buzz in the restaurant and bar area is contagious reminiscent of the lively chaos in your mom's kitchen during Thanksgiving. The food was nearly flawless. I started with the Caesar Salad and bruschetta both simply delicious. The dressing was perfectly tangy, and the bruschetta was generously portioned and expertly seasoned. For my main, I chose the Eggplant Parm, an enormous portion. The cheese was generously layered, perhaps more than usual. The dish was fresh, hot, and incredibly flavorful. The sauce had a nice kick without being spicy. My mom ordered the Capellini Primavera, substituting pink cream sauce for oil and adding plenty of garlic; another huge portion. Absolutely loved it. A solid 10/10. Anna, our waitress, was outstanding, serving with remarkable speed and warm professionalism. Regret not taking pictures of our dish!!

This Italian restaurant is the kind of place that quietly ruins other Italian restaurants for you…read more The food isn't just "good" or "solid." It's cooked to perfection. The pasta has that exact bite it's supposed to have. The sauces taste like someone's nonna has been guarding the recipe since 1952. Everything feels authentic, not in the gimmicky, red-checkered-tablecloth way, but in the "this is how it's actually done" way. The atmosphere seals the deal. It's warm, cozy, and welcoming without trying too hard. Soft lighting, relaxed energy, the kind of place where you sit down for dinner and somehow three hours disappear. It feels intimate without being cramped, lively without being loud. You can have a real conversation without shouting over someone's birthday party. And then there's the wine situation, which is almost absurd in the best way. The bottles are sold at cost. At cost. Like they woke up and decided profit margins were optional. The selection is massive, stretching across regions and styles, and staring at the list is borderline overwhelming. In a good way. Whether you're a casual sipper or someone who can pronounce Montepulciano correctly, you'll find something exceptional. In short: authentic food, flawless execution, cozy atmosphere, and a wine list that feels like you stumbled into a secret. It's the kind of place you want to gatekeep... but also immediately tell everyone about.

We recently hosted our wedding dinner celebration at Chef Adrianne's Vineyard Restaurant & Bar, and…read moreit was everything we hoped for and more. As longtime guests who have enjoyed countless date nights here over the years, choosing Chef Adrianne's for such an important milestone was an easy decision--and they absolutely exceeded our expectations. The food was phenomenal, as always. Our guests could not stop talking about the filet mignon, short rib, salmon, and pork wontons. The croissant bread pudding was a huge hit as well, with both the dark chocolate and white chocolate varieties receiving rave reviews. Every dish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and served perfectly. With 41 guests, delivering that level of quality consistently is no small feat, and we want to give a heartfelt thank you and shoutout to the chefs and entire culinary team. The kitchen staff truly knocked it out of the park. The food was one of the highlights of the evening, and our guests are still talking about it. What truly made the evening exceptional, however, was the service. We had 41 guests, and our servers--Evan, Alonso, and Frank--were outstanding. We've had the pleasure of being served by them before, and each brings something unique and valuable to the dining experience. They were warm, attentive, efficient, and incredibly organized throughout the entire evening. Despite the size of our party, they handled everything seamlessly and made every guest feel genuinely cared for. A special thank you also goes to Chantele, our event coordinator. As any bride knows, planning a wedding comes with plenty of questions, concerns, and emails. Chantele was incredibly patient, responsive, professional, and kind throughout the entire process. She answered every question with grace, was attentive to details, and helped put our minds at ease. Her professionalism and courtesy played a huge role in making our celebration such a success, and we are so grateful for her guidance and support. It was a particularly hot day, and the team thoughtfully brought out fans to help keep everyone comfortable. That small gesture was just one example of how attentive and helpful they were throughout the night. From coordinating the event to managing entrée orders and ensuring our guests were comfortable and happy, the entire staff went above and beyond. The atmosphere, food, service, and hospitality combined to create a truly memorable celebration. We feel so blessed to have shared such a special occasion at a restaurant that has already been part of so many wonderful memories for us. After at least a dozen dinner dates here over the years, it was only fitting that we celebrate our wedding with the people and food we've come to love. Thank you to Chantele, Evan, Alonso, Frank, the talented chefs, the kitchen staff, and the entire Chef Adrianne's team for helping make our wedding celebration unforgettable. You didn't just serve a meal--you helped create memories that we and our families will cherish for a lifetime. We will continue recommending this restaurant to everyone we know and look forward to celebrating many more milestones here in the years to come.

It's always nice to support a local business that consistently delivers high-quality pastries and excellent customer service. We'll definitely be back again!

However, today I ordered four croissants and I must say that the chocolate in the chocolate croissant was not present at all! I would strongly recommend to keep quality and consistency.

If the chocolate croissants would be more on point, this would definitely be a five star rating. The coffee and the rest of the food was great. Also, the customer service is exceptional.
