From the start, they were attentive, friendly, and really knew the menu.

We also tried the red snapper special they suggested, and it was absolutely incredible--fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Yuran checked in on us just the right amount, made great recommendations, and really elevated the whole experience. It's rare to find service that genuinely makes you feel taken care of, but that's exactly what we got.

The Collab is supposedly "known for its fusion of Mediterranean and Asian flavors in a stylish, artful setting". In our 2 meals there I had a pizza for dinner and a breakfast sandwich the next morning. For a 3 meal hotel restaurant, I thought they did a great job. In the morning my wife had their "version of a pancake" which was very custardy in the middle and a bit strange but still good. You want to make a pancake where it is cooked on the outside and still soft on the inside? Sure, why not. Not our fave but the service and buildout were good and especially when we stuck with the more traditional fare, everything was delicious.

He wasn't simply trying to increase the check; he truly listened and wanted to ensure we had the best possible experience. That level of genuine care, authenticity, and personalized service is what hospitality is all about. Alex made us feel welcomed, valued, and well taken care of.

Baby Back Ribs: These were just okay; good, but they didn't quite hit the heights of the seafood. Drinks & Atmosphere The cocktails were fantastic and well-crafted. Beyond the food, the vibe is what really makes this place special. It's a very "pretty" location with great waterfront views, making it a perfect backdrop for a meal. It is also very family-friendly, so it's a great choice for bringing the whole crew along. Great seafood, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

My friend and I waited near the hostess stand for a bit and felt overlooked as everyone was understandably focused on the situation. A simple "hello, welcome, we'll be right with you" would have gone a long way. Having worked in hospitality for many years, I know things happen behind the scenes, but guest communication is so important. After a short wait, the manager stepped in, apologized, and got us seated, which I really appreciated. From that point on, the service was excellent. Everyone was attentive and helpful, and I especially want to shout out the food runner, who was personable and made a great impression. One thing that could have been handled better: our server took our drink order but never mentioned happy hour. When we later asked for the menu, we were told it was only available at the bar. Since I use a wheelchair for mobility, getting onto a bar stool would have been difficult, so I felt that a more accessible accommodation should have been offered. You'll see in my video I was the 4 top right next to the bar. That said, the food was good, and I still had a nice time with my friend. With just a little more attention to communication and accessibility, this could have been an even better experience.

Tucked away in the lobby of the Mutiny Hotel in Coconut Grove - THE Mutiny Hotel of "Hotel Scarface" book & Spotify playlist name & at least part of the inspiration for The Babylon - is a quiet, romantic poolside restaurant with a pretty good fusion menu and smooth cocktails. When we pulled in, my date & I were pretty much the only people there and we decided to enjoy the breeze on the pool deck in a cozy corner couch. My rum old fashioned was strong yet smooth, perfect for a Friday night. While she enjoyed some of their seafood dishes, I started with their Tostones cup appetizer. A green plantain surrounding fresh pico de gallo and beef chunks, it was tasty without being too heavy. The pico gave the beef a nice hint of tartness. I had been craving pizza, and their Table 14 pizza with its perfectly salty prosciutto, decent spread of marinara and slices of cheese hit the spot. Our key lime pie had a nice tartness and was a nice closing. Our waiter / bartender was great, getting our orders first to the cozy corner and then to a table. Service was pleasant without being overbearing. Oh, and yes they sell Scarface memorabilia in the hotel front desk!

The fries were crunchy and crispy, very nice. The burger was massive and cooked perfectly to medium as asked. However there was far too much BBQ sauce for our taste, which ruined it somewhat. We also had the crispy pork sandwich with a side salad with blue cheese on the side. I enjoyed the too half of the salad but then was disappointed that they had decided to slather it with balsamic which was too salty n over powering and not what I asked for..hence the side order of blue cheese dressing. The idea is that you can then decide how much you put in, so this option could not be used. The crispy park sandwich was to die for and the star of the show! Crispy tasty crunch chicarrone pork pieces with slices of sweet potatoes on an aoili sauce ..wow. Also they don't mind you using their pool and outside area if you eat there..I asked beforehand, so it's an added bonus and why I would come back.

The thing that impressed me the most are the employees. All maintained eye contact and were genuinely friendly and helpful in helping me place my order. A real rarity in the quick-serve restaurant business. I ordered the local farmer plate and requested chicken breast. I noticed there was an upcharge, but was not told there would be one, which i found a little surprising as this is typically more common/popular than dark meat. Other than that, I am a satisfied customer. Big portions, healthy food at a good price. That's a rarity in Miami and hard to beat.

The Biltmore hotel is one of the most iconic historic landmarks in Miami…read more The hotel is celebrating 100 years, and the history of this hotel and all it has meant to the City Beautiful is amazing. I grew up spending July 4th here, have always been enamored by their pool, the architecture of the space, and of course their iconic brunch. There is absolutely nothing that can take away The Biltmore's iconic status in Miami history. This review specifically is for whatever renovations they did to the lower lobby. I am not sure why they decided to go with the design direction that they did but it shocked me so much in a negative way that I had to leave feedback for hopefully someone to see. The way that they created a space in the lobby that is so bright, and giving new design beach resort from a big chain hotel really took me by surprise. The same can be said for the bathrooms, which are so bright with white light that I truly could not believe it. The lower lobby redesign does not convey what the Biltmore has stood for as long as I have enjoyed visiting - luxury, timeless elegance, and impeccable design. My dad is an architect and my mom was an interior designer so perhaps my perspective on this is a bit more invested than the average person. However, as someone who loves the Biltmore I truly believe this building is not meant to look like any other hotel chain you can stay it - it's supposed to be unique, historic, and beautiful! It's clear a lot of work went in to the redesign, and some updates to the hotel were surely needed but its really disheartening to see what it looks like now. I hope that as they continue to update the hotel - the design and approach matches this history that this national landmark deserves. In some positives - the pool at the Biltmore remains one of the most beautiful in Miami, and a stay here always makes you feel like a million bucks.
