Nabil Nasser Had doubts about showing up without a reservation on Thanksgiving Day, but it was worth the risk. Everything about this place was fantastic. We sat at the bar and had a great time. The agnolotti was amazing, the wagyu carpaccio was even better, and the steak and Parker rolls were on another level. The atmosphere and the service made it even better. Louis was incredible and it has been a long time since I have seen service like that. A phenomenal experience.

C. Sabrina (Bri) I had such an amazing night celebrating my cousin’s birthday! We arrived about 30 minutes past our reservation time, so our table had been given away. Thankfully, the staff was still able to accommodate us after about a 30-minute wait, and we were seated around 11 p.m., right when the party was in full swing. The energy was incredible! The DJ kept the crowd hyped, and the dining room was full of ambiance. Belly dancers moved gracefully between tables, and every time a bottle was purchased, the staff celebrated with music, lights, and cheers. There were flashing lights, sirens, smoke effects, and guests dancing at their tables. The staff encouraged everyone to join in, even handing out lights and tambourines to get the crowd engaged. Despite the lively atmosphere, the servers still managed to provide great service. The food was delicious! We shared several appetizers, including the hummus platter, shrimp lollipops, and dumplings. For my entrée, I had the seafood pasta, which was an excellent choice. The drinks were okay, though definitely on the pricey side. My only critique would be the restrooms, they’re trailers, which doesn’t quite match the luxury vibe of the venue. While they were nicely decorated, they could be upgraded. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a celebration or a fun night out with friends. The energy, entertainment, and food make it an unforgettable experience!

Lumar Guittard I had an absolutely unforgettable experience at Sexy Fish. From the moment we arrived, the service was simply outstanding. The level of attention, warmth, and professionalism made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of from start to finish. The food was next level, truly extraordinary. The sushi, especially their specialty selections, was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The tuna tataki deserves a special mention: the sauces prepared for it were exquisite and elevated the dish to something unforgettable. Every bite was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. I would like to give a special and heartfelt thank you to Aysun, who provided what I can honestly say is one of the best dining services I’ve experienced in Miami. Her attention to detail went far beyond the table, from making sure we were enjoying every dish, to thoughtfully guiding us through the space, helping us safely navigate the stairs, and even taking the time to show us the stunning aquarium. Her dedication, kindness, and professionalism were truly exceptional. I’m leaving with an incredible experience and immense gratitude for the entire team. The ambiance deserves its own applause. Sexy Fish feels more like an art gallery than a restaurant — every corner is thoughtfully designed, full of detail and beauty. While the venue is well known for its iconic restrooms, the spectacular aquarium completely captivated me and left a lasting impression.

Alena Neuimina We had an amazing experience at Casa Nova, and a huge part of it was thanks to our waiter Marco. Everything was absolutely delicious, but Marco truly made the night special. Attentive, friendly, professional, with perfect timing and great recommendations — you can tell he genuinely cares about guests and loves what he does. Hands down, the best waiter we’ve had in a long time. If you’re coming here, ask for Marco — he’s the best. We’ll definitely be back!

Victor Boo The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented — every bite felt fresh and authentic. Service was warm, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. While the atmosphere could use a little more charm, the quality of the food and care from the staff truly shine. Definitely a place worth coming back to!

Naomi Lozy Amazing experience at Komodo Miami!!! Food was so good and service was top notch, thanks to our server Blake! She was super sweet, attentive and personable which made our time there even better. We got the lobster dynamite, Wagyu Beef Dumplings, Spicy Beef Filet, and Korean Fried Chicken. Easily highlight of the meal was the Spicy Beef Filet. Highly recommend.

Lea Stevenson Cannot talk highly enough of this location! They just did a full renovation (I was here a few months ago) came to a promo dinner with Marie and the food was FABULOUS!! The truffle pasta is to die for!! Massive shout out to Mel who made us impeccable drinks from the bar. Music was great everyone was dancing and vibing. Also a wide sushi selection! Thank you Mel and Marie!

Joanne Van Nostrand First time there and I had a great experience We were shopping locally and decided to try the restaurant for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that they actually have a $39 three-course lunch menu (appetizer, main, dessert) . We opted for this option. It was a great way to experience the luxury and quality that the restaurant is known for at a reasonable price. The salad and main course tasted fresh and the meat was cooked perfectly, very tender. The cheesecake was delish. We also chose to get the pistachio baklava with ice cream for an additional cost that was amazing! The meat on the lunch menu can also be upgraded to wagyu for a surcharge. We enjoyed every bit of our meal. Our server, Luis, made the experience very pleasant. He was very patient with answering our questions and made great suggestions. He brought so much joy to the experience with his genuine smile and service. You can tell he takes pride in his role. Will most definitely go back again. Can’t wait.

Ms Flo My husband and I visited Fiore Café; a humble, small scale cafè, last week while we were in town. From beginning to end, we were greeted with smiles and treated favorably. Our waitress was very polite, and checked in on us quite frequently. Our order arrived swiftly, fresh and hot. Our waitress continued to check in on us throughout our meal. We would definitely return to Fiore Cafe again.

Oliver Wilson Had such a great experience at Novecento! The atmosphere was lively and stylish, perfect for both a casual meal or a night out with friends. The food was full of flavor — everything from the appetizers to the main course tasted fresh and authentic. The staff was friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. I really liked the mix of good music and cozy lighting that made the place feel welcoming. Overall, it’s a spot I’d definitely recommend for great food and good vibes!

Ben Park We absolutely enjoyed our experience at Rosa Sky. Their food and drinks are top notch with varieties of selections being offered. Their dish had some interesting twists (e.g. spicy spinach dip). The value offered during their happy hours was fantastic as well. Rosa Sky has your typical rooftop bar atmosphere and we especially enjoyed it when the lighting changed later in the evening. Though understandable, the one unfortunate quirk was that they didn’t have any seats available as there were multiple events happening concurrently.

Nick Doriot Some of the best seafood Ive ever had. The staff was very polite and prompt and the atmosphere was great out on the deck overlooking the Miami River. We tasted several of their signature dishes, the blackened yellowtail was incredible, the Mahi Mahi in Peruvian sauce was soook delicious, and the grilled seafood platter gave a great taste of everything else. All was cooked to perfection and I could make a beverage company out of the Peruvian sauce it was so good. Easy parking out front and worth the stop.
