Service was great - our server's name was Freddy and he was very helpful. The spicy tomato mussels, corn bread, oysters, and wine were all solid recommendations. Favorite bite of food was the mussel broth and corn bread with jam. Portion sizes were also generous. A bit on the pricier end (3 pieces of corn bread for $15), but besides that, it was a spectacular meal! Would recommend!

We tried the scallops, scallop curdo, and the wagyu tartare, and everything was so tasty and better with wine The ambiance was intimate, casual, and romantic. Service was friendly, quick, and attentive. We sat at the bar and loved being able to watch the food prep, plus the staff checked in often with wine pours. Overall, a great Happy Hour experience and definitely a spot I'd come back to. Would suggest for date night as well.

I recently visited Mandolin in Miami with my daughter for late afternoon drinks and appetizers, and…read moreit was such a wonderful experience. The moment we walked in, we were transported right back to Greece. The décor is beautiful and authentic without feeling forced. Every detail adds to the charm of the space. We decided to keep things light and ordered the zucchini chips along with a special appetizer featuring whipped feta, roasted eggplant, arugula, and pistachios. Both dishes were excellent. The whipped feta dish was bright, fresh, and packed with flavor, while the zucchini chips were perfectly cooked they were light, crisp, and addictive. My daughter ordered the non-alcoholic dragon fruit "martini" and absolutely loved it. It was tropical, refreshing, and felt like a special treat. I went with the white sangria. It tasted a little more watered down than I expected, but it was still refreshing and enjoyable on a warm Miami afternoon. The service was excellent throughout our visit, and the atmosphere alone makes this place worth a stop. Between the beautiful setting, delicious food, and attentive staff, Mandolin is a place I'll happily return to the next time I'm in Miami.

Absolutely delicious and wonderful experience. Definitely on the pricier side but found the…read moreportioning and flavors to be very fair with the pricing of the items. Seating is mostly outdoors and beautifully decorated, definitely a nice selection for an intimate event. Service was wonderful! The spanakopita was nicely flaky, the spinach filling wasn't overly bitter or pungent (my boyfriend is not a fan of strong feta flavors and enjoyed this while I am a feta enthusiast, we felt that this was right in the middle of our demands which worked great). We both love moussaka which is what my boyfriend ended up getting, dare we say it was our favorite moussaka out of any Greek restaurant in America thus far (coming from New Yorkers frequently visiting Astoria). It was broiled to perfection to give the cheese/béchamel layer a light crunch at the top and maintaining that richness underneath. The eggplant and ground meat were well seasoned. I really enjoyed my stuffed peppers as well (rice pilaf, ground beef, and feta on top), the tomato broth/sauce gave a nice sweet and savory flavor with the meal. Finally, a superb pistachio baklava, 10/10. Super impressed with what Miami had to offer for Mediterranean.

The vibe outside was amazing such a great atmosphere for a night out with friends. Their wine selection is solid! We shared a bottle of Moscato, and I also had a Cabernet Sauvignon. For food, we got a charcuterie board with brie, baguette, olives, and salami, and everything was delicious. Such a simple but perfect pairing with the wine. Only small downside was that inside could definitely use better air conditioning because it got pretty warm. But overall, the vibes, wine, and food made for a great night. Will definitely be back!

Great Miami vibe without the jacked up Miami tourist trap prices…read more This place was a pleasant surprise for the price and atmosphere considering it is in Miami. They have a limited menu but the food was flavorful. Very cool casual chill spot with a friendly atmosphere and live music in front.

The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, making it perfect for a special night out. The seafood was exceptional, especially the hamachi and the selection of fresh raw dishes. Every bite tasted incredibly fresh, and the presentation was just as impressive as the flavors. The cocktails were equally well crafted and paired perfectly with the meal. Between the outstanding service, beautiful views of the water, and top-quality seafood, Klaw is absolutely worth the visit. It's a restaurant I'll happily return to every time I'm in Miami.

The empanada's were outrageous and the chimichurri that it (and the steaks) came with is one of the best I've ever had. It had the perfect amount of garlic in it. I also enjoyed a ribeye and a glass of cab sav. The steak was cooked perfectly, the potatoes that came with it were great. I mean, what more is there to say? This is a great steak house with great food and it is well priced. Service was excellent too. I'd recommend to put this on your list if you're visiting Miami and funny enough, my friend who lived in Miami, this is their favorite place to go.

This place has an energy that's hard to manufacture -- warm, lively, and genuinely fun. When Argentina is playing, it's a whole different level. The kind of atmosphere where you look up and realize hours have passed. Fair warning: it does get a little hot in there, but I'd sit there dripping sweat before I'd think about leaving early. That's how good it is. The service matches the energy -- attentive, genuine, and the kind that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. It's the full package. Now the food. I don't even know the name of the chicken cheeks dish, but I think about it. Whatever it is, order it. The entraña was cooked perfectly -- if you know Argentine cuts, you know how much that matters, and they nailed it. And then the dulce de leche crepe. I don't throw around the word incredible lightly, but there's no other word for it. Just get it. Don't leave without ordering the sangria either. It rounds out the whole experience exactly the way it should. Fiorito's is the real deal -- the food, the service, the atmosphere. One of those places you just keep coming back to.

Nothing pretentious, nothing overworked. Just solid, crave worthy dishes that remind you why simple food done well is hard to beat. The menu is dependable in the best way, with flavors that feel intentional and satisfying. Portions are generous without being over the top, and everything comes out the way you hoped it would. Service is warm, efficient, and welcoming, which somehow makes the food taste even better. It feels like a neighborhood spot even though people from all over Miami seek it out. Blue Collar is the kind of restaurant you recommend without hesitation and keep in your regular rotation. Comforting, consistent, and always a good idea.

The atmosphere felt positive, from the warm welcome of the owner to servers that made small chatter with us in between. Italian restaurant that feels authentic. From the drinks, to menu recommendations, and special delivery to the table by the owner himself. The food here was surprisingly good as well as the drinks. My coworker had ordered a Margherita pizza and I ordered the grilled swordfish since they were out of branzino. The flavors were just right, not too flavorful and not too bland. Next time I am in Miami area and I am craving some decent Italian food, I am definitely coming back here. They offer indoor seating and limited outside seating. The parking situation is crazy as anywhere in Miami Beach area so be prepared to park elsewhere and walk some distance. Will recommend this place to others!

I'd describe it as flavorful, slow stewed beef topped with a moist, slightly sweet cornbread. It was hearty, comforting, and surprisingly delicious. I ended up finishing the entire dish since I wasn't sharing the other plates with the group. About halfway through, I felt like it needed a little something extra, and our server suggested trying their mashed limo pepper. Fair warning, it's spicy! It added the perfect kick and really elevated the flavors of the dish. Our server was incredibly attentive throughout the meal and made the experience even better. I'd definitely recommend CVI.CHE 105 for an elevated dinner, date night, or special occasion.
