Our second time going to this restaurant. Excellent atmosphere and lighting. Great service - they are always attentive. First time: excellent waiter. Second time: slight boring. Favorite dishes that have blown us away: Carpaccio of Hereford Beef; Ahi Tuna with truffle vinaigrette (served on these thin and fresh potato chips); hazelnut or vanilla Souffles (with two dipping sauces). Do not go there without trying these dishes! The biggest weakness for me is the by-the-glass wine selection. They have about 10 or so, but nothing that I was very interested in. We usually bring our own bottle, so this will rarely be an issue for us. read more

We came here for Miami Spice on a Saturday night & I felt like we took a trip back in time to 1997. I had come with high expectations, after a friend of mine raved about this place last year. She had warned that the menu looked like no big deal, but that it was actually delicious. The food was ok, but like I said, the menu items are boring and there's nothing that thrilled me. The appetizers were way better than the entrees (Mushroom soup and crab cake). My entree (The chicken chop with risotto and shrimp) was bland. The texture was there, but it definitely needed some salt. The chicken has a crispy skin that was wonderful. My husband's dish (Two chef's meatloaf) was tasty but it was nothing spectacular, the mashed potatoes were bland, starchy and lumpy (seriously how do you mess up mashed potatoes) but it was nothing spectacular. The chocolate souffle was delicious, the hazelnut souffle tasted like egg. The service was awful. After we were done eating we sat there for about 15 minutes waiting for our plates to be cleared. Our waiter took our order and disappeared. I had to ask someone else for help. (Our waiter was bad, but the rest of the staff was friendly) Overall, this place was not worth the $110 tab. We would have rather gone elsewhere. I feel like I wasted a lot of money on a meal that was bland. read more

I went here to take my wife on our Friday date, to try a new restaurant. We were being seated and the bartender made a scene across the room and asked me and my wife to leave because my tattoos were showing. Such discrimination was horrible and he publicly embarrassed me loudly in front of the the other diners. I highly recommend you dont go to this restaurant and support this racist nasty attitude. read more

A few moments ago I gave them a call to try to make a reservation for next Thursday, a week from today. I first asked if they were participating in Miami Spice, and the gentleman answered that they were. Next, I told him that I'd like to make a reservation for two people for next Thursday night, the 11th. He proceeds to tell me that they're really busy right now, and I would need to call back tomorrow morning at 9:30 or 10am. Are you serious? This is absolute insanity. I want to give you business, and you don't want to accept it? What an unbelievably terrible business practice! If you're "so busy," then hire someone to sit up front, but to rudely tell someone who WANTS to be a paying customer that you're too busy to take a reservation, that is unacceptable. I told the gentleman on the phone that I wouldn't be calling back tomorrow morning and he said "okay fine" and hung up. Totally unprofessional and ridiculous. I will never patronize this restaurant again, and I have been here before. Perhaps it's because we wanted to order off of the Miami Spice menu, but perhaps they're this snobby and unprofessional to everyone. read more

Mediocre at best. We went for the Miami Spice menu and were sadly disappointed with the service and the food. It began when they moved us from our table after we sat down ordered drinks and were eating our bread. Then the food came and I ordered the meatloaf which was decent but nothing spectacular. I only ordered it because the waiter said it was a MUST HAVE. The meal ended with staring glares from the wait staff because our dinner guest were taking too long sipping the wine after the meal. We felt like uninvited guest who stayed too long. Overall experience was mediocre at best- food was so so. Not the expeience or flavors I expected. read more

Have not been to Two Chefs since last year but their #MiamiSpice offerings certainly enticed me to take my clients there since I know the souffles are just superior, so this had to be a good bet. I tell you I was not disappointed. There were so many options on the menu that fell on the spice menu, a few with an upcharge but that was fine by me as it is hard as hell to have a lovely 3-course meal featuring a beautiful branzino for $51. What made me remember to write this review, my portion was large enough for me to have breakfast this morning - pretty damn amazing if you ask me. This was a true "Scrumpterou*" experience. It was my guests first time; their starters were the Caesar and I had the Leek Soup with Goat Cheese Chantilly and a Bread Stick; YUMMM! Our entrees: the Shrimp & Fettuccine Pasta, Roasted Tomatoes, Basil, Garlic was an enormous serving and loaded with shrimp; the Atlantic Salmon was beautifully presented Atlantic Salmon, Grilled Asparagus (beautiful huge, green stalks), Heirloom Tomatoes, topped with a Lemon Vinaigrette. With the exception of the pasta (again, did I say the serving was huge?) the sides were ample; my wood roasted Branzino came with fingerling potatoes and an onion confit. Okay, you are waiting to hear about the desert, right? Of course, all three of us had the souffles; two Bitter Sweet Chocolate Soufflé served with Chocolate Ganache and one "Grand Marnier" Soufflé, Orange Marmalade served with Crème Anglaise. The master "cooker? at Two Chefs is Jan Jorgensen, he just does not miss with this desert; in my book, he is the master of the Soufflé. One important point I want to make: despite the fact I had not been there this year, it was sooo comforting to walk-in, see the bartender (who I think has been there forever) and his face lights as I appear to be somewhat familiar. What's better, I know this man knows how to make a gimlet! If you follow me at all, you know that is my drink and I have been challenged; tell him what you want and that is exactly what you get. Gin Gimlet, straight up, very, very, very cold and on the dry side (no, not a Gibson, a GIMLET); YES!!! Thank you! Two Chefs has been in business since 1995. It has an amazing old world charm so if you looking for flash and glam and all that new stuff, keep it moving, this is comfort food at a different level. The Miami Spice menu offers 7 starters and 9 entrees; up charges can be $5-15 (New York Strip). You simply cannot beat the offerings here. This was my 2nd Spice meal and thus far, the best. read more

I was in Miami for a meeting and staying somewhat close so I decided to find someplace within walking distance. I sat at the bar and Juan was the bartender. The Martinis were absolutely perfect! The atmosphere was awesome and the other patrons at the bar were very pleasant and obviously regulars and they were all dining at the bar. The Bread was served with olive oil with the typical oregano, garlic , basil, but with a refreshing burst of rosemary. I ordered the meat loaf on a recommendation from a regular and it didn't disappoint. The asparagus was done to perfection and the mashed potatoes were real. A bit on the pricey side but a fantastic meal! read more

Agree with everything Mister W says about this place, especially the location and the souffle. I had the richest, mouth-exploding coq au vin here with some white-truffle mashed potatoes here. The service was fantastic, of course, timing was almost perfect, although I could have preferred a little more time after getting my cocktail before the salad. They must really want the patrons to try out the specials. They have a couple small chalkboards with the night's specials written on them. Shortly after sitting down, they put one of these guys at your table. If you have a spare chair, it sits there with you like an added diner. If you had no spare chairs, then one is pulled up to join you. This one sat with us for about 20minutes, so I don't know what happens when they are seating so many diners that they don't have any more chalkboards to place at the new tables. A mystery I will have to solve some other time. read more

Over the years, I've dined at this restaurant numerous times, but after eating dinner there last night I remembered how much I love it! It's in an unassuming strip mall, but don't let that fool you... I had the Ahi Tuna Steak with Rock Shrimp, Gnocchi & Tomato Confit. So flavorful and juicy. Seriously, I could not stop raving about the taste. I skipped dessert this time, but their Grand Marnier Soufflé is a must. Also, they update their menu almost weekly and you can check it out online. read more

The staff here is beyond rude. My husband and I were shocked by the comments made. Even though the restaurant was almost empty on a Friday night it is obvious they don't care about courtesy, service quality or reputation. Don't waste your time or money. read more

We enjoyed the Miami Spice Menu. Added a perfect Wine, and closed with the Perfect Dessert. read more

Two Chef's - Friends Summer Lunch. We had a great time. - New American Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

After hearing great things, my husband, three-year old daughter and I decided to try Two Chef's tonight. What an all-around disappointing experience! First, I tried to order the ravioli appetizer for my daughter, but was told they had sold out (although we sat down less than an hour after the restaurant opened for service). I brought it up with my server, who didn't seem concerned. My Oak Roasted Tomato Soup with breadstick had an overwhelming smell and taste of smoked wood and anchovies. Now, I like anchovies, but I prefer them to act as a subtle background flavor and add richness to my dish. And I like a smoky tomato soup, but this was too much. It was the WORST tomato soup I'd ever had - and for $11?! I wouldn't have paid $5 for it. Did I mention it was the cheapest appetizer on the menu? My husband had a "Lump Crab Daikon Roll, "Ahi" Tuna, Caper - Olive Vinaigrette" appetizer for $18. It was maybe four-inches long and smaller than any sushi roll I'd ever seen. And practically flavorless. My husband's entree of the pork porterhouse was the best thing we tried all night. It was cooked a perfect medium, juicy and had a nice flavor of the grill. Unfortunately, it was smothered in a very very oily green (chimmichurri?) sauce. My entree was the "Grilled Mixed Seafood: Diver Scallops, Prawns, Maine Lobster" with Pommes Frites. What a joke! The most expensive entree on the menu at $36, it was probably the smallest. Two shrimp wrapped around two quarter-sized scallops (definitely NOT diver scallops, probably the smallest calico scallops they could find), and half of a one-pound lobster tail (the tail was from a one-pound lobster). All I could think was, "Where's the other half of my meal?" The french fries were probably bought frozen. The Huancaina sauce that came with mine, was neither cheesy nor flavorful. Needed salt. My husband got brave and tried a chocolate souffle for dessert. I think he burned himself at least three times on the souffle and at least twice on the ramekin. The creme anglaise was definitely made from vanilla extract - it reeked and tasted overwhelmingly so (you know, that awful "alcoholic" smell that vanilla extract has). Finally, I would have liked to have brought this to our server's attention; however, after delivering our food, he never, not ONCE during ANY course, checked with us on how our food was. I didn't see a manager around to express my concerns to either. I left hungry, which doesn't happen often. I will NEVER EVER go back to Two Chef's, and I will make sure I tell everyone I know not to try it either. It was overpriced, had poorly executed food, and the worst service I've had in a long long time. I know they offer cooking classes - I do not recommend learning how to cook from these amateurs. What a joke! read more

One of my favorite restaurants. The atmosphere is fancy without actually being fancy. This is evidenced by the fact that men can go dressed in shorts, but they wouldn't look out of place in a pair of slacks. i love the fact that they offer the Miami Spice year round, and that you can stay away from the city! I've gone several times, and have always eaten from the Miami Spice portion of the menu. EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS!!! I cannot and will not pick a favorite, my recommendation: go with 3 or more people and then try from each others plates. No matter what you do... do not leave without having their signature dessert! The service has always been wonderful, and I truly have NO complaints. read more

I was not impressed. Went for Miami Spice and chose the Onion Soup and it was tasteless. The broth had absolutely no flavor! I ordered the roasted chicken with vegetables and it was just okay. I also tried a piece of meatloaf, which is one of their recommended dishes. Not impressed. The only thing I did enjoy was their souffle for dessert. In addition, the service was extremely slow and the waiter was not at all pleasant. read more

Yes it's a bit pricey... But remember you always get what you pay for. Yes it's a bit slow.... But do you rather have a fresh cooked meal or a reheated one? Today my office-family and I went to Two Chefs to celebrate our Boss Man's birthday. The meal was superb! I had a Beef Carpaccio for appetizer, grilled salmon with asparagus and potatoes and a ahhhhmazing chocolate soufflé to complete the meal. Every item was cooked to perfection. Flavor was incredible and the attention we received from the staff was excellent. Some of my colleagues also had the Tuna Tartar, shrimp fettuccine and the grand mariner soufflé which they also enjoyed very much. read more

Two Chef's - Grill Salmon with Asparagus and Potatoes Deliciousness! - New American Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

I was fortunate enough to purchase a dining voucher from Two Chefs at The JCC fundraiser. We enjoyed a fabulous meal and enjoyed good service. The menu changes weekly but I recommend the chicken thigh chop which was absolutely wonderful. My dining companion had shrimp on fettuccine which was so good she didn't want to share it with me. This is a great place to go for an adult dining evening out. read more

ALL hail the Miami Spice Gods...I have wanted to come here for a while and I finally went. For starters, who would have thought that in this little strip mall you could find such a gem. We arrived for an early dinner and lucked out with our server, Bryan. He was courteous and very knowledgeable about the menu. I opted to order the lychee martini which was real good, and we dove right into the MS menu. For appetizers we had the tuna tartare, and pulled pork Bolognese: the tuna was nice and light and the right portion. The pork was a little heavy for me but just as good, however a little bigger than expected For entrees we had the pork loin stuffed with spinach, and the asopao: both a very decent portion, I loved the asopao though. Not too wet, it had shrimp, salmon...hmm hmm and finally for dessert we had the bittersweet chocolate soufflé and the grand Marnier soufflé: totally decadent and fresh. Superb dinner, excellent service...Will come back for some of their cooking classes. read more

Two Chef's - Asopao - New American Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Miami Spice visit - very good! The spice menu had good choices and every thing brought out was excellent! The staff was hospitable and knew how to attend to the table without making their presence overbearing. The only reason it gets 4/5 is unfortunately because of the location. Little strip mall on South Dixie just doesn't do it for a nice place like this. They should really consider relocating. read more

Our local favorite! The menu is somewhat limited, but everything served at Two Chefs is awesome. We love the ambiance and are always greeted in such a friendly way. Two Chefs is our go-to place and we've lived in the neighborhood 28 years. read more

The atmosphere is romantic and cozy. The menu has great variety and they offer their Miami Spice deal year round which is an affordable way to get an appetizer, main course, and soufflé. Their tuna tartar is so good, but their main courses have never amazed me. They tend to over salt their dishes I think. I can't remember the exact menu names but I've had the chicken and a risotto dish that were just way too salty. The soufflés are always baked to perfection and I would come back just to get another taste of the amazing dessert. read more

Two Chef's - Soufflé - New American Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

So rude. Sat at the bar patiently to have dinner. Staff approached me literally asking me "what do you want", and I replied dinner when you're ready. Asked for a menu and he said that'll be a while, be patient will you. I was confused as I thought it was a joke and he continued to provoke me. Very strange situation. Food was overpriced and quality was low. Not sure what is going on here....can't imagine it'll be in business much longer.. read more

We have loved the food here and have frequented it in the past. However after Saturday night, I can say we won't be going back anytime soon. We had a reservation at 8 pm. We arrived at 7:45 and were seated. However, we had not had anyone come to our table to even give us water so at 8:10 we left. The hostess asked us "what happened?". How she did not know as she walked by our table multiple times since she sat us was beyond me. The service here was always a little slow but this was ridiculous. read more

Amazing food and service. I had not been here in years and they are still just as great as I remembered. They even brought a bowl of vanilla ice cream with a candle in it for my birthday. Their pistachio soufflé was superb. I would definitely go back. Today we did the Miami spice menu and they had so many delicious sounding options. read more

Two Chef's - New American Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

I'm writing this review because I'm hoping that the owners will see that the changes that they have made are detrimental to their business. First, let me say that I have loved Two Chef's every single time I have ordered in the past, but tonight was a huge disappointment. I always order the chicken chop with mushroom risotto. It's always been two chicken thighs and a nice helping of risotto. Now, it is one small thigh with half of the previous amount of risotto. The price, which is $28, is crazy for two thighs, it's now the same price for one! I didn't mind paying that price for two because I had enough for leftovers the next day, but now, it's hardly enough for one meal! Also, the picture when ordering shows two thighs. They also cut the garlic buttered vegetables in half as well. As much as I love their food and want to support them, I feel let down and ripped off. I'm hoping beyond hope that they put the serving size back to the way it was. Until then, I won't be reordering. read more

Went to this restaurant for Miami Spice. Food was great but the restaurant was dark and has not been updated since it was open. The staff was short handed and the food took too long to serve. The appetizers and main meals were above average. Most of the clientele were older than decor. read more

My husband and I have been eating here for many years. We frequently eat at the bar and are served by Juan the bartender. Best drinks in Miami hands down. The food is always hot and awesome. From the appetizers to the souffles ........AWESOME. Jan the owner is frequently there and is very welcoming. Always a great meal and great service. This restaurant has been around for years.....great food and service!!!!!!! read more

It was ok. Inside is fancy... So, of course the food is pricy. Environment is nice, romantic, dark. Food wise is pretty but taste is alright. Nothing memorable. So I wouldn't come back. Waiter was not as friendly. The helpers were super nice and very attentive. read more

The best food in Pinecrest! None compare!!! Great food and service. Jan and Oscar are the best Chefs in Miami. Ask for Guillermo as your waiter on weekends and Monday He cannot be beat for kindness and expertise for service. You would be smart if you requested him Juan is a mixologist of the stars if you can't get a table sit at the bar with Juan You will not be disappointed if you visit Two Chefs!!! Once again they have outdone themselves. Please try the Twice Fried Korean Chicken Wings appetizer. Spicey but to die for!!!! Please visit this restaurant. You will not be disappointed!!! read more

Ambiance, food, hostess, our waiter(Brian) was exceptional, knowledgeable and friendly, the bartender to the table cleaner were all 5 star. First time coming, will definitely come back, I highly recommend to all and for those that had a bad experience? You all must be pathetic snobs and anti social ingrates to not be able to mingle and enjoy this restaurant and the employees- I suppose that's why restaurants make take out to weed out chronic moronic complainers! For the happy people enjoy!! read more

The service was ok. Food was over priced. But good. Food took a long time. I got the corvina, which was excellent but the potatoes were tasteless. It was nice ambiance, they did not have boosters for kids but they had high chairs. Overall it was ok but for the price there are other options where the experience was better. read more

Soufflé is excellent -- didnt appreciate the fingernail in the chocolate syrup nor the hairs in my daughters chicken risottos . I asked to speak to manager - waiter returned removing the entree and the dessert -- not what I wanted , I would of preferred to speak to manager suggesting to take better hygiene actions . Will not return - read more

I never see such kind of Threat from a Human Being to another... most horrible experience this behavior from any restaurant around the world I knew ever!!! I just went there to make and order To Go, and the Bar man of the place immediately as I told him I was going to make and order and I wasn't going stay there change his face and turn back on me and said "You have to wait until waiter came to get your order" I wait there like 10 minutes and the other guy was gentle and get my order I stay sit on the bar waiting for the Food and Suddenly the Bar Man in a horrible way said to me "if you are not going to drink anything you can't be sit in here the Bar is open for costumers that are going to buy drinks or food" and I just keep myself like I couldn't believe it and told him " Sir there's nobody in this area and I just stay here because this chair is not needed until now" He just respond the same stupid allegations like I was interrupting the area and bothering in a very rude way whit a really bad behavior... I Spend 89$ on Food on this place I wasn't there just trying to be funny or something I know Staff on restaurants don't like when people don't sit because they cares bout tips but this is unbelievable!!! how Rude can be someone just for sport??? The Food was for my uncle on the Hospital this is a Horrible place to go definitely How can staff can treat Costumers like Garbage for a chair in a Empty place??? If you spend 89$ in any restaurant normally you deserve more than a chair a Table!!! Always you pick Up food or take orders to go at least they always offer Water meanwhile you wait you never spect to be treated like Garbage read more

Two Chef's - EMPTYYYYY!!! - New American Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

after 2 chances 2 chefs still gets 2 stars seriously the service in this place is so pathetic, bordering offensive. i dont think i heard my waiters voice, really i cant recall. he would disappear and then show up out of nowhere and just stand there, thankfully we dine out often and have common sense so we know how and when to order, when to scoot over so they can clear the table, etc. he brought our food and just placed it, never making a peep - not even enjoy your dinner, or your souffles will be out soon, is there anything i can get for you. the water boy on the contrary was super polite and helpful and friendly - the waiter should take lessons from this kid on common courtesy! the chairs are comfortable, the lighting and set up sets the mood for a quiet intimate dinner. the menu offers several choices from meatballs and flat bread for appetizer to coq au vin to shrimp pasta for entree. and the souffles for dessert. the food is pretty delicious, but honestly i find it way overpriced for the location and service. i wouldnt call this place fine dining, more like neighborhood fancy. but again the service is so terrible that i will never go to this restaurant again. after two tries i would never go back to an establishment that treats their patrons so poorly. read more

Last night four of us went to Two Chefs. We have been there several times over the last 4-5 years and have never been impressed. Last night was no different. The service seemed a bit better than we remembered it in the past and, as is usual on a Saturday night, plenty of tables were occupied, although the restaurant was not full. Let's talk about the food: A pork entree was overcooked and tough; the trout was not fresh and tasted fishy, the mahi mahi was also overcooked and the duck confit/duck breast combination was bland. Entrees are generally priced on either side of $30 and this restaurant should be ashamed of themselves for over charging. Although people may come here to treat themselves to a special meal, they clearly get short changed. The wine list is unexceptional (and overpriced) for a place that prides itself as a culinary outpost (it's also a cooking school and is happy to charge you "full value" if you are an average Joe who wants to pickup some pointers in the kitchen). Skip Two Chefs (really one chef, since one of the founders retired in 2001) and go to someplace where the fish is fresh and the meat doesn't taste like it's been frozen before it is served to you. read more

Go here for takeout! Everyone is trying to navigate getting their favorite foods during this crazy time and this did not disappoint! First of all, the take and bake desserts are genius and made the house smell amazing as they cooked! An awesome and innovative idea! The entrees were delicious and reasonably portioned! So happy one of our favorites holds up to take out! Will be ordering soon: the chicken and croquettes were unreal, as were the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and shrimp pasta! Everything was DELICIOUS! read more

My family has been going here since it opened - since it actually had two chef-owners. We've done countless family events there, meals with family and friends... The food is delicious and the kitchen is extremely accommodating in terms of one's dietetic or taste needs. Service is fantastic. From the time that you sit down and get the oven-warmed bread with the herbed olive oil to the souffles (if you can wait for one), it's just great. You can go casual or dressed up, as well: You'll see people in jeans/shorts and women in South Beach wear. The restaurant kind of fits both cultures. (Not really a yelp thing, but I absolutely recommend this restaurant for special events. I don't know if they still do cooking classes/parties, but I've been to a few there. And you can go so far as renting out the whole place. It makes for a lovely party space with good food, attentive service, great location, and ample parking. They cater and do take-out, too.) read more

I usually only come for dessert. The chocolate soufflé is divine. Only $10.50 for a very full ramekin of delicious moist fluff with chocolate sauce and creme anglaise on the side. I promise you will be spooning every last drop of the creme anglaise out of the dish. Delicious! read more
