    A cute little nook in sunset place. They sell beer, sake, coffee and teas. I love all of that so definitely wanted to give it a try. They have open mic some nights. It's so chill and pretty in there. I love the vibes. The barista was so sweet and attentive. We ordered a Nutella coffee and a caramel macchiato and she personally handed it to us where we sat. So so sweet. There's a bunch of jewelry, clothes and accessories to check out. I'm so glad this mall has this spot because I will be coming back very soon. I can't believe it's taken me this long to walk in. Love everything about it. Fingers crossed that this shop stays forever!!!!! It's literally what's keeping the mall afloat.

    On my search for coffee shops in South Miami I stumbled upon this cute place. It's definitely a younger high school/college vibe. I really liked how they have a lot of jewelry, clothes, candles, miscellaneous items around the shop form local artists. There are an array of drinks and food items you can order. I got an alfajor and it wasn't that bad. I really liked how they have open mic nights and events during the month. Cute place if you wanna relax, play some board games, and drink a coffee with friends.

    Matcha Tea Latte

    The place is really cute and I could see it would be fun to hang out. However, the matcha latte was depressing. Almost $7 for just latte and tiny bit of matcha. I couldnt even taste the matcha and the matcha wasn't blended completely at the bottom. They do have nice tea selection but the quality of the match was not good . They use Silk Plantbased milk. Not the best either.

    That moment you walk into a place and you just know it's going to sell all the things you love. The vibe is laid-back and chill. Every piece of clothing and jewelry represents something special about the creator and tells a little story. The art on the walls compliments the handcrafted jewelry. The stones and crystal hold a vibe of their own. I'm sure you'll find a piece to take home. I found a couple of things that I just had to buy and a few that I made a note to come back for. There are plenty of seats for you to relax, grab a bite, a drink, bring your laptop and get your work on. And live entertainment will keep you and your friends entertained for the evening. Check out their calendar to see what's coming up for the month, it's posted on their website and on the wall as soon as you walk in. I took my time and shopped, and enjoyed the calm, cool vibes. It's just that kind of place. I'll definitely be back.

    A beautiful shop with lots to browse around in from local artists. The drink selection was good, and I overheard the barista talk with a customer that they are known for the matcha. I would want to get that next time. Lots of tables and outlets to work in. The barista surprised me that he wasn't wearing a mask at all, even though I was under the impression that it was still a mandate to wear masks inside businesses at that time. That left me feeling much more on edge since he made my drink. I wish I had asked him why he was doing that but i unfortunately won't be returning until the pandemic ends because of this lack of following the mandate.

    Awesome place to hangout on Sunday evening. At 7pm the place host amateur stand up comedy. They have drinks and food too. Make sure to order something here while watching a show it will mean a lot to the people in this establishment.

    Inside of what was once a thriving but is how a half empty dying mall is what I consider to be a true find. While strolling the south miami art festival we wondered the mall and stumbled onto this place. It's very hard to classify it but is a light, bright space that is somewhere between a live music venue, a clothing store and jewelry store. I'll admit that the girl that was perfuming may well be what drew me in and kept me here. She was amazing and if there is a god will be a well known singer/musician. When in and she was singing an awesome ballad and was soon joined by her friend on violin and second friend on guitar. I would hav

    We randomly stopped by Tea & Poets on a Friday night as they were having Open Mic night and this place was packed. We arrived and found some very young kid bands rocking their socks off. I'm pretty sure their parents were there cheering them on as well. The kid bands took turns after a song or two each. They were all so good and entertaining that I'd come back for more. Tea & Poets has been around for some time now and they seem to have a lot of events like this Open Mic night. Pretty awesome as it exceeded my expectations.

    I really wanted to give this independent tea and coffee house a five star rating. I've made a decision to not visit any of the chain coffee houses and to support local businesses. The pros: The space is very colorful with different vendors all along the store. They have art, clothing, jewelry and other items for sale. I had a carrot cake cookie and it was delicious. The staff is friendly. They have open mike on Wednesday nights. I did not get to enjoy this event. The cons: The smell of incense is overwhelming. I don't think an eatery should ever have burning incense. The carrot cookie was the size of a quarter. I'm not a big eater but this was ridiculously tiny. The air conditioner was on the warm side. The Americano coffee did not taste well; I could not put my finger on it... We will not be returning to this establishment.

    Great environment for families.

    My family and really enjoyed visiting this store at Sunset Place. We walked in and browsed around before settling at a table and bought some drinks, Tea & Coffee. We sat and chatted and no one bothered us. I really appreciated that laid back style to the store. There are many items for sale on the shelves, from local artist and vendors trying to market their small-batch products to others that are established. The staff are extremely friendly and approachable. That made us feel so comfortable to be there, not fussy at all. They have an eclectic, hipster vibe; and I say that in every positive sense of the word. They have performance on their stage every Wednesday from 6p to 11p. Anyone can sign up and perform their talent for free. Wanna get discovered? Yes!

Everything was phenomenal, and our server, Catty, was wonderful. The crudo, croquettes, and beef tartare were absolute standouts--wow. The porterhouse was cooked to perfection, and every single side was incredible. You have to try the French onion mashed potatoes and the Brussels sprouts. We somehow still made room for dessert, and it was amazing too, even though we were sooo full. We had plenty of leftovers to take home! From the food to the service, everything was exceptional. Definitely Michelin-worthy in my opinion. Can't wait to come back!

We were sat immediately and they had a printed sign with our name on it on our table. That was a nice touch. The service was VERY slow! We waited at least 10 minutes before the waiter (Danny/Daniel) ever came over to offer us water. Another 20 minutes later and we still hadn't ordered our food. My friend's iced tea still hadn't arrived. I had to go to the hostess stand and tell them that we'd been there for half an hour and hadn't even ordered yet. We never even saw our waiter during that time. Eventually a manager came over and took our order. I ordered the Hamachi Crudo as my appetizer and the salmon as my entree, and the blueberry lemon cheesecake for my dessert. My friend ordered the same thing, except the cookie as her dessert. My other friend ordered the Cesar salad as her appetizer and the Beauty chicken sando as her entree. The Hamachi was absolutely delicious (but incredibly small). The Cesar salad was HUGE! It was almost 2:30 by the time we got our entrees (1.5 hours after arriving). Our salmons were barely warm, meaning that they had been ready for a while, but they had been left sitting in the kitchen. We had arrived pretty hungry, and since our appetizer was only 3-4 bites, and it'd already been an hour and a half, we weren't about to send our food back to be heated up. The salmon, although not hot, was good. I liked the sauce it came in. It was a little over cooked on the outside. But, overall and well made, tasty dish. My friend liked her chicken sandwich. It came with about 2-4 big "fries". Upon using the ladies room, I discovered that the hand dryer was not working. It was 3pm (2 hours later) when we received our desserts. We had to add more time to the parking meter. The waiter informed us that he couldn't offer us any coffee as the machine was being serviced. The restaurant looks nice. The chairs are comfortable. It's nicely decorated. The music was great- mostly 80's music. All in all, we were pretty disappointed in our experience. As a Michelin Guide restaurant, we expected more. Better/faster service, for sure! A working coffee machine. Hot food. I'm glad I came for Miami Spice. I probably won't be returning. If I do return I'll ask for a different waiter.

There was already a crowd outside waiting for the next seating, and once inside, the intimate setup immediately stood out. With only about a dozen tables, a tiny bar, and the rest of the room dedicated to the stage, it feels exclusive without being pretentious. We sat at the VIP table tucked off to the side. At first, I wondered if the view would be limited, but it ended up being one of the coolest seats in the house. Watching the performers through the side curtains gave everything a romantic, vintage feel, while looking out across the room made it feel like you were hosting the evening. A special shout-out to our server, Arlene. She was hilarious, quick-witted, attentive, and timed everything perfectly. She even brought dessert out at just the right moment so we could enjoy it while finishing the show without feeling rushed. The only disappointment was that the grill was down that evening, so most of the beef entrées weren't available. Thankfully, I had planned on ordering the salmon anyway, and it was cooked perfectly. Just know that if you're coming specifically for a steak, you may want to confirm availability first. The passion fruit cheesecake was much sweeter than I expected, but still delicious. And then there's the jazz. Miami doesn't have nearly enough places like this. The musicians were talented, and the atmosphere alone is worth the visit. If you're a serious jazz fan, you may wish there was a little more improvisation and a little less sticking to the standard arrangements. The vocalist was good, but none of the performances were particularly unforgettable. Still, that's not really why you come here. You come for an intimate room, live jazz, attentive service, great ambiance, and a memorable night out. Armstrong Jazz House absolutely delivers on that. I'll definitely be back.

Our daughter, now a 9-year-old girl on the spectrum who loves art and music in an incredible way, started her journey with Area Stage in mid-2024 by taking private lessons with Annette, an amazing instructor at Area Stage. Under Annette's guidance and patience, our daughter improved tremendously and was able to perform in three showcases where she sang and danced alongside other children. This success did not come without challenges. Raising and supporting a child on the spectrum can be very difficult. From meltdowns and lack of attention to struggles with taking turns and stimming, families connected to autism understand these behaviors can be caused by many factors such as inflexibility or sensory overload, which are often misunderstood by neurotypical people as misbehavior or poor parenting. Fortunately, everywhere we have gone to help improve our daughter's behavior and skills, we have been blessed with people who truly understand autism and know how to support autistic children, just like Annette did. That changed on May 14th, 2026, when our daughter's instructor had an emergency and could not attend class, so a substitute instructor was assigned to the ITP class. Our daughter had a rough day during class and, as we were told, she was not following directions and was being disruptive. She was repeatedly told not to do certain things because they were "not allowed," as if that alone has ever been an effective way to regulate or support a child on the spectrum. Our daughter was in deep distress, as she often becomes when something triggers a shutdown. Her behavior escalated to the point that the Director of Inspired Theatre Project, Irma Becker, stepped in and told her she was misbehaving, that wh. This is a 1 hour class. Meanwhile, I, her father, was sitting outside waiting for the class to finish. Once the time was up, I approached the door where the children exit from, but no one came out. As I got closer, I heard, "So who's coming to pick up this child today?" To my surprise, it was Irma asking who was picking up my daughter. When I explained that I was her father, Irma approached me aggressively and explained that my daughter did not want to participate and that she was a "mean girl" who pushed her multiple times while she was trying to get her to follow directions. My daughter was listening to everything Irma was saying because they were standing next to each other. While Irma discussed my daughter's behavior with me, my daughter became even more overwhelmed, yelling and completely out of control. I told Irma that I would talk to my daughter later at home, but she continued escalating the situation. In the middle of the chaos, she told me that we needed to discuss next year's enrollment because of my daughter's behavior, although she still had to commit to participating in this year's showcase. I was speechless and asked, "Do you even know that my daughter is on the spectrum?" In response, Irma began listing her titles and degrees in behavioral therapy, completely contradicting herself through her own behavior. It is truly sad that someone like this could be in charge of a program such as this one. We formally contacted ownership via email to explain the situation, hoping to schedule a meeting, discuss possible solutions, and receive an apology. Instead, we were told that after conducting an investigation with the people present, ownership concluded that Irma never said anything inappropriate about our daughter. Additionally, our daughter was removed from the inclusive program entirely only two weeks before her showcase. During a call with ownership regarding our email, the owner himself told us that he believed the problem with our daughter was that she was "not used to hearing no." Imagine saying that about a child on the autism spectrum, as if simply hearing "no" were ever a solution for autism-related behaviors. This was coming from someone who has never spent even a second with our daughter, yet still felt comfortable giving an opinion about her behavior. What I see here is a major red flag. When someone reports misconduct, unethical behavior, or unprofessional conduct and their concerns are immediately dismissed or denied, it creates an environment where that behavior can continue unchecked and potentially lead to even more serious problems. It is like calling a police department to report misconduct by the chief of police, only for the person making the complaint to be punished for speaking up. Thank you for creating a program that helps so many students with special needs. I truly hope this experience serves as an opportunity for growth and improvement so the program can become even more inclusive moving forward.

Sunset Tavern is one of those few places where it is just as good to go in the morning for a Bloody Mary and enjoying the scenery of South Miami, as it is to go at night, drink a beer and watch a live band perform. The ambiance is casual, the service is up to the challenge, and the price is reasonable. As the matter of, I went to Sunset Tavern last night. The name of the band playing was Electric Mayhem and they were absolutely outstanding. The energy and the chemistry between the band members, the song selection, and the talent of the musicians was off the chat. I have never been so mesmerized by a local band before, and I plan to go back and see them again. They perform in Sunset Tavern the first Saturday of every month. But as I was watching the band, I took a look around. So many memories within those walls. I will miss this location.

I wasn't in the mood for a big crowd and noise. This place has a lot of big screen tv's and had a great football game on the screens, which kept me and my husband entertained. The waitress was really nice and friendly. She gave great service. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and my guy ordered the scallops. Neither of us were very wowed with the food. He said some of the scallops didn't taste as fresh as he'd have liked and they came alone without any side and sautéed mushrooms- which he doesn't eat- and my grilled chicken was a little tough/chewy. It was also a small cutlet. On the bright side, we both agreed that the sweet potato fries were delicious! Prices were reasonable for the dishes we got, but some other menu items seemed on the higher side. I hope they taste better and are better than what we got for the price they are asking, as our food was mid. Overall, I would drop in again if the occasion called for it, but this wouldn't be a place I'd made an effort to return to. I'm giving 4 stars cause the ambiance and vibe was cool, liked the waitress and staff, and it was a bit of an upgrade on typical bar food.

    Great food. Nice atmosphere. Pleasant sever (Amy). So why the 4 star rating? My Makers Mark and…read morewater on the rocks was TWENTY DOLLARS!!! More than each of our entrees. That is way way way too much. I even asked Amy to check the price. She did abd said prices were recently raised. I would not go back, or if I did, just have water.
