They don't even sell Vix Vapor Rub? FALSE ADVERTISING THEN. It's hard for me not to give high ratings to any of these cafes along South Beach - but that's because of their views and gorgeous buildings - they all have mediocre drinks in common and mediocre food for that matter - and they all are extremely overpriced or at least somewhat overpriced. But they also all have some of the best views and most attractive customers and most enjoyable experiences in honestly any bars in the country. So for that reason I have to give them 4 stars - as there's simply no other option. read more

Vix at Hotel Victor - V for Victor y - Lounges Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Trendy decor and pumping house music (with a live DJ) makes Vix a great start to a big night. I began with the two taste ceviche which was awesome, two piles of fresh fish and shrimp in different spicy sauces (watch out it's got habanero!). Next I had the fillet migon which was tasty though drier than I'd have liked. Finally I finished the meal with a chocolate tasting, 8 spoons of choco-liscious ecstasy. Solid four star meal and you know I love a great house DJ! But for that same reason, I would be hesitant bringing older (the 'rents) or younger (the kids) folks to dine here. read more

I went here for Miami Spice and was overall, very pleased. I conducted extensive research before going to make sure I wasn't stiffed for choosing the Miami Spice option at such a pricey place. I'm very glad to have stumbled upon this place. First, the decor is worth seeing to begin with! Circa 1930s and there is even a $60,000 jellyfish tank that can be seen from anywhere in the main dining area. I ended up knocking a star off from my review simply because the regular priced menu is OUTRAGEOUS. Our Miami Spice menu was a whopping 50% off the normal prices for those dishes... The food: It started with complimentary pillow soft warm, naan bread and 3 dipping sauces. Each were divine. As a Miami Spice go-er, I felt privileged to get the free naan! I got the tempura soft-shell crab. It was my first soft shell experience and a delightful one at that. It was served with a garlic aoili type sauce over yellow heirloom tomatoes and a side salad with humboldt fog (goat) cheese. An enormous Miami Spice appetizer. My next course was the filet over garlic mashed potatoes with truffle oil and wild mushrooms. It was cooked to perfection. My only complaint would be that it was a small portion for a larger male, but the flavor was spot on and reminiscent of grandma's brisket and taters. The peach shortcake with chantilly cream and blackberry coulis was subpar. I found the peach filling to be slightly bland, but the cream and the rest of the dessert was altogether a good finale. My friend ordered the spiked melon with lemoncello curd and prosecco sabayon. I recommend it sheerly for the awesome presentation. It came smoking! The Service: top notch. Besides each male waiter and busy boy being better looking than the next, they treated us like we weren't on Miami Spice (as they should) and folded my napkin every time I left my seat. Overall, I was a little skeptical going in because of their Ocean Ave. address, but if you can get there before Miami Spice ends or if you're wallet can handle it, I recommend it whole-heartedly! read more

Vix at Hotel Victor - Spiked Melon - Lounges Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

See all

This was the third time I've been here. It's a great old-school spot in the middle of South Beach. I like to stop here for a drink before going elsewhere, but looks like the food is great here as well. I recommend having a cocktail on the patio if you are there before they close, one of the best views on South Beach. Perfect for the 30 and over crowd...if you are sub-30 and looking for a more wild time. I recommend that you keep on walking to the Clevelander. read more

Employees standing on the sidewalk beckoning you to enter. 50% off menu items. Location on Ocean Drive. Everything screams, "don't eat here!!" Since I'm working in the area though, a coworker took me here. Menu seems average; chicken fish, steak, pasta. I ordered the tenderloin and (creamed?) potatoes (also with spinach). Menu says $42, special probably-shouldn't-be-eating-here price: $21. Request med-rare (got med). I also chose the "special dessert," the Tiramisu which came in something like a rocks glass -- lady finger suspended in mostly cream. There are better steaks and better Tiramisu's. If I had paid the $42 I'd be let down. The food wasn't bad. It wasn't great, though. It wasn't a $42 steak. But, it was ok. There wasn't really anything that wrong with it. Some might call it a great meal, I'm just picky. The potatoes were a little mushy. The spinach was delicious. Three stars but if we only compare to Ocean Drive restaurants, it would be a four. Overall, a pleasant surprise. read more

This place looks great on the inside. The setup of the bar and the surrounding tables and chairs was spectacular. Everything seemed so pretty, funky, and just straight up chic. You feel classier times 2 when you walk into the place because it's just SO nice. Don't get me wrong -- You don't have to wear a ball gown just to come drink here. I wore a jean skirt and tank top (as did the two girls I came with). But there's just something about the atmosphere that makes you feel just a tiny bit more sophisticated. Can't go wrong with a little sophistication! It's very chill and has a somewhat upscale lounge-type feel to it. Great place to have a few drinks and socialize. It's also a great place to sit on the floor in front of your two friends -- who happened to be leaning up against each other, passed out -- and take multiple goofy pictures (either holding a drink, or flipping the birds). Not that I've ever done that before. Nope. Not I. :) read more

Wind through the lobby and you'll find the hotel's bar is expansive, with tons of seating! Drinks were well-priced and not overpriced. The bartenders here were very cool, giving us suggestions of where to keep the drink-fest going, calling their friends to get us into nearby clubs, and not kicking out those who passed out on the couch. Great for the younger crowd looking for no-attitide classy lounge on Ocean Dr. read more

The pish-posh decor which includes a large wall of jellyfish and fantastic ambience the courses of food start rolling in. The service was top-knotch. The ox risotto was creamy and perfectly seasoned, the seven sins dessert was incredible. The only overly-absurd thing was the citrus juice pallet cleansers served in small plastic droppers. Overall, great experience. read more

There was a time I love to Hotel Victor. South Beach which is changing for the worst. It's getting a little sketchy down there, too crowded, too many drug dealers walking on the streets, which makes the experience while sitting outside at this restaurant but very pleasant. read more

We went to the restaurant for a good friend's birthday. Luckily he's a good friend because the food was excellent and original...have you heard of no bread bread. That said, the bill was $$$$$, the most spendy birthday bill we've seen in a long time. We heard that the a member of the local basketball team, a celeb had his birthday here. read more

Vix located in boutique Hotel Victor and operated by Hyatt Hotels was designed by a French Designer Jacques Garcia. The atmosphere is influenced by the Jellyfish. Design elements including lighting are all influenced by the Jellyfish (note the live Jellyfish tank). All materials are rich and very stylized. The food ranges from fish, seafood, and meat. All done very well in relaxed dining experience. The warm bread basket with four unique spreads is a excellent start. Service is friendly and attentive. The wine list is extensive and a good cocktail list as wel as nice desserts. I have dined here for three years and have had about thirty dinners here and have enjoyed them all. It is probably the best HOTEL Dining experience on OCEAN DRIVE with consistent food and service. It is expensive and valet parking is available though the hotel. The hotel has a nice lounge and DJ on Thursdays to Saturday on the second floor. Good for a date, romantic dinner, business dining. read more

ARRGHT. It's 11.25 on Thursday night, I heard Victor's lounge should be a cool place to have a drink on Ocean Dr. About 10 guys are standing outside waiting to get in - I waited about 20 minutes and gave up, as it seemed only couples and chicks were allowed to get in. What's the deal here, LEMME IN - all I want is to buy a $$$ drink from you guys! :-) UPDATE: Tuesday night - I got in. Ayjee. 2 people inside, but the place looks awesome and it gets a second star. UPDATE2: Spend couple of hours here on Thursday night. Crowd is good, drinks are expensive - don't plan to eat at the lounge upstairs, the food is meant for rich, skinny models. BTW, they probably have the best two tables for people watching on Ocean Dr. read more

It's my first night at Art Basel and my friend books us for dinner at Vix. Already I get the supah-fab vibe from the decor and the feeling that my meal will not come cheap. The food is that quasi mediterranean/asia/local SoBe fusion that seems to only work in certain restaurants (it does here). The presentation is easily as fab as the interior, but really it does come down to the food for me. I started off with the two ceviches (one fish, one shrimp) which was excellent. There's nothing I hate more that ceviche drowned in lime and this had wonderful flavors. My friend had the rock shrimp which he was happy with too. For entrees I opted for the black truffle risotto with braised oxtail solely on the recommendation of the hostess who raved about it. She was right - it was delish. My friend opted for the prawn and vegetable pad thai, which I couldn't try since I have a peanut allergy, but he seemed pretty happy. btw...the presentation of food is somewhat over the top, but in keeping with the vibe of the place. My friend opted to drink his dessert - the key lime pie - which came in a huge martini glass and did indeed taste like key lime pie (with much alcohol). I had dulce de leche ice cream - I had been craving dulce de leche for days and where else to have it than in SoBe. Service started to get a bit spotty once the place got crowded with multiple big parties, but otherwise our waiter was pretty attentive. And as good as the food was I still think it was a bit overpriced. It was about the atmosphere though. I guess when you have a restaurant attached to a fab boutique hotel on Ocean Dr. this is par for the course. read more

The ambiance was superb. I felt like I was in an underwater Atlantis. The beautiful jellyfish-like chandeliers added just the right lighting for our dinner. The bar, oh so sexy. I rolled up here to celebrate my birthday with 5 of the most fabulous sistas I know. (My little sister was one of them, what can I say, it runs in the family!) Anywho, the cocktails were delicious, our waiter was- I mean, looked yummy. Our entrees/desserts were delectable. I am going to have to say this is probably one of the most pleasurable dining experiences in my thirty-something years. read more

This place is not worth the hype. Way overpriced.Service was soo slow and the portions were small.I won't go back here. again.Oh, and they charged me for a drink that my girlfriend never had! read more

Sauntered into Hotel Victor on a Thursday night with no problems (probably because I was with some hot chicas in high heels) in search of a stiff drink and a sweet scene. The fittings were nice, with polished wood floors and crisp colors, kind of reminding me of a fancy yacht deck. The dance floor was bumpin and the drinks were uber-strong so we were happy. We managed to sneak into a roped off area to groove without groping and have some much needed girlie fun. After we tired ourselves out, we went and relaxed in one of the crisp linen cabanas by the pool. No one came over to harass us like they do at the real swanky SB places, and it was really enjoyable. If you're in need of a one stop shop for unleashing and then unwinding, hit up the Victor. read more

One of the most enjoyable lunch experiences during Miami Spice. Warm ambiance, elegant decor, including a jellyfish tank, made a great first impression. The gazpacho was refreshing, tangy, savory with a hint of spice, very intriguing. I had the chicken breast while my partner had the snapper, both were grilled to perfection with subtle, sophisticated sauces. Large servings of creme brulee topped two full stomachs, all the while aromatic, plentiful coffee kept the mood light and intoxicating (they brought a pitcher!). It was a stream of little, pleasant, bubbly surprises that made the afternoon quite memorable. Given the decor, I am sure Vix is quite a sexy joint at night. But give the relaxed, warmed lunch setting a try, you will be impressed. read more

If you are looking to splurge, the poolside bar is a good choice, just know that it's a premium hotel with an indicative price tag. If you are lounging on a bed by the pool, the servers will refuse to serve you, unless you get a bottle or bucket. It the daylight a bucket sounds ideal, but be careful because for 6 beers it is $66...there is no discount for buying in bulk. read more

The filet here is great and always cooked to perfection. But the most memorable part of my evening at Vix was our waiter. I don't recall his name but he is a part-time comedian and cracking jokes all night. Thanks for the awesome dinner! read more

Horrible service and dirty glasses. I ordered Hennessy my glasses was so filthy I could not drink from the glass. Finger prints, food stains and a waiter with a bad attitude. Maybe down the road I'll give this establishment a second chance. read more

The breakfast potatoes were delicious! My vote is for the Cuban coffee and the view. The patio is a great location for breakfast, not to busy, locals working on the street, joggers, etc. There was a little bird flying in and out for crumbs, I thought it was the perfect addition to such a beautiful morning, I had to drop a few crumbs myself! read more

Me and my wife went to VIX, the 2nd floor balcony bar overlooking Ocean Drive, for a few drinks. The ambiance is pleasing and trendy. I ordered a DEAR SCARLETT. This was one of the best martinis I have ever consummed. The blend of herbs is a take off of a mojito but more complex. The drink perfectly complimented the mood and weather. The music was great and so was the service. Great place to chill and still get the vibe of South Beach. P.S Once we returned from our trip I called up to ask for the receipe for the drink hoping they would accomadate. The creator of the drink , Brice,graciously provided me with the receipe. My many thanks to him as me and my wife not can feel as if we are back in Miami while freezing in New York. Brice , you are a master mixologist and an herbal science major. Complements bro! read more

It's the place for a celebration! Trendy-mod room with bar in center and a DJ but no dancing, so the atmosphere is festive and can be loud. Service is impeccable. Food can be outstanding. Had the same soggy ceviche as one reviewer here, but everything else we had -- Indian-insplired that night - was fabulous, from the side dishes to the Tandoori Quail. The wine list is superb, but it starts at around $70, shoots to $150, and climbs rapidly from there. read more

Sort of a mix btwn Foreign Cinema and the roofdeck at Medjool in San Francisco. My friend and I had the best time at this place out of all the places we went in Miami during the wknd we went. Nice crowd - def. check it out! (only weird thing was the unisex bathrooms!) read more
