The restaurant wasn't crowded at all, and we were the only ones seated outside. We were seated immediately, which was a plus. However, I had specifically come for the curry chicken salad, and when I asked about it, I was told by the greeter that it was available. After looking at the menu, I realized it wasn't listed as an option. Between that and the overall vibe I got during the visit, I decided not to stay and we ended up going somewhere else. It's unfortunate because I used to really enjoy coming here, but this experience definitely changed my perspective.

Unfortunately, neither lived up to expectations. We started with the "jumbo" wings, which were anything but jumbo. We received only flats, and they were some of the smallest wings I've ever been served. After bringing this to the staff's attention, we were told the manager would take 50% off the order. However, when the bill arrived, we were informed that the manager had already left and the discount could no longer be honored. Instead, we were given only the $4 happy hour discount, despite being promised otherwise. For our entrées, we ordered the brisket sandwich and the half chicken. Neither was worth ordering. The chicken lacked the crispy texture it was advertised to have, and the brisket was bland and without flavor. The sandwich was also supposed to come with truffle fries, but instead we were served cold, plain fries. After mentioning it, the solution was to bring us a side of truffle oil and Parmesan cheese and ask us to mix it ourselves. The service was equally disappointing. We asked our server twice for drink refills, but she never brought them. We eventually had to flag down another server just to get our beverages refilled. Overall, this was a frustrating dining experience from start to finish. Between the poor-quality food, unfulfilled promises regarding the bill, and inattentive service, this restaurant fell well below the standard I would expect from a Miami establishment. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience deserves one. I sincerely hope management addresses these issues because the current level of food quality and customer service is simply unacceptable. and quality is embarrassing for miami.

The add-on salmon protein was medium-rare and perfectly seasoned, cooked, and had great smoky flavor. Steak & Wake Burrito was average. Wouldn't recommend.

We were seated right next to the pool, but our table happened to be directly in front of the spot where everyone stopped to take photos. At first it felt a little odd, but it quickly became entertaining and added to the fun atmosphere. We stayed in the Azure suite, Our room was stunning and was ready a few hours early, which allowed us to start enjoying our stay right away with a bottle of bubbly the hotel sent up. We changed into our swimsuits and headed straight to the pool. The next morning was my favorite part of the stay, since only hotel guests have access to the pool before the restaurant opens, it was much quieter and the perfect way to enjoy such a beautiful setting. The only downside was that the hotel is extremely loud at night. We knew what to expect from reading previous reviews, so it wasn't a surprise, but it's worth mentioning. I was also a little disappointed by the restaurant service, which felt indifferent and not especially welcoming. Despite those drawbacks, the beauty, history, and overall experience made for a memorable stay!

The berries stay whole and tart instead of melting into jam. That restraint is what separates precision from indulgence. The avocado toast comes with radish shaved thin and microgreens that aren't buried, just placed. The plating is considered, not theatrical. Big difference. The benedicts work. Hollandaise holds the emulsion, the eggs are cooked to the yolk, the proteins don't bleed. The pancakes (key lime, pistachio, Belgium ganache) are where they let personality show, but the base is always solid. The plain croissant is $5 and tastes like they're not cutting corners. They close at 3:30 PM. That constraint is actually their strength. You eat when the kitchen is fresh, not fighting fatigue at lunch hour. Everything lands at the same level of finish because they're not spread thin across 12 hours. The mosaic tables make every meal feel unhurried. The outdoor section has real breeze and light. The price feels honest, $24-32 depending on what you add. This is breakfast and brunch executed like someone actually cares how it tastes and where you sit.

Strawberry Moon offers a delightful dining experience with its charming interior and pleasant outdoor ambiance. It's worth noting that on humid days, it's advisable to opt for indoor seating as the fan doesn't effectively combat the humidity. While the "Strawberry Moon Forever" cocktail lacked flavor, and the "Spicy Jaja Margarita" leaned towards excessive sweetness without the desired tequila kick, the mezes, particularly the spicy feta and babaganoush, were an absolute delight, bursting with flavors. The tzatziki, unfortunately, fell below expectations. On the bright side, the Moroccan lamb merguez stole the show with its juicy tenderness and perfectly balanced spice blend. The servers at Strawberry Moon demonstrated attentiveness and were helpful throughout the dining experience, enhancing the overall satisfaction. read more

I haven't been so amused with a restaurant before in my life. I think I had the best experience eating. It was so awesome that I can come back again and again. One of the best restaurants that I have tried. Very mouth-watery. Definitely, a place to relax and feel at home. The staffs were so friendly and very accommodating. They were very attentive in every detail that I gave them. They respect privacy of every customer. Very cozy and the food will never disappoint you. The place is very clean and follow health standards, since it's pandemic. The overall service was excellent. I am a very satisfied customer and I will recommend this to all of my friends. Especially those who are looking for relaxing place and great ambience. So, what are you waiting for? Let's dig in! read more
