Elijah Branson Sheilla was amazing. She was so friendly and had the largest smile. It enhanced our dining experience on this fine Miami street. The roasted half hen was scrumptious. It was very hearty and saucy. Just like I like it. Highly recommends the hen. Thanks god

Kristen Duska This place is comfort food done right. The chicken and waffles are delicious and definitely the staple food of choice. The cornbread has the right hint of sweetness with bacon inside as an added bonus. The Mac and Cheese is off the charts. What I really appreciate about this restaurant is the atmosphere which gives off a comfortable, relaxing, vibe. The open kitchen lets you watch the food being prepared which was also a nice added touch. Whether you’re there on a romantic date or night out with friends, this spot provides a great experience. Definitely worth a visit if you love classic comfort food with a fresh, made-from-scratch feel.

Esperanza Cruz ABSOLUTELY LOVED!! Came for my birthday after seeing other great reviews and it was so worth it! Jose did an amazing job being our server. Sam often came over to check on us! Great place !!

Parvinder Singh Food was great, liked the presentation but I guess the most intriguing part is the seating outside with an exquisite vibe. Service was awesome, we hardly had to wait for our food given the capacity at the restaurant.

Elena I recently visited this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by both the food and the overall atmosphere. The highlight of the evening was definitely the octopus perfectly tender, lightly charred, and full of flavor. It’s not easy to get octopus right, but this place absolutely nailed it. The bay view is absolutely gorgeous it adds so much to the atmosphere and makes the whole evening feel special. Highly recommend!

Carlos Sparenberg Big thanks to Julia for such a warm welcome to Miami. Great atmosphere and attentive service. Fresh delicious food and even a custom coffee. Tip for breve lovers: ask for cortado but with half and half. This place aims to please and Ill definitely be back.

Nikki Malhotra Cristina was amazing! I came to dine alone which can be a little bit of an awkward experience at a restaurant. She was so warm and guided me to a great choice. Loved the branzino for one. Great live music and atmosphere as well. Service was really sweet and genuine. Hard to find these days! This is my second time here, will definitely be back soon.

Ronald Tan Beach front beach cafe with nice carribean music and atmosphere. Pretty island base cafe. Food and service has been way above quality. Nahuatl our serve has been exceptional and remembers our request.

JIayi Shen We had a wonderful dinner here tonight — the food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and clearly made with care. Every dish exceeded our expectations. A special shout-out to Brian, who made the experience even better. He was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful, helping us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the meal. His service really stood out and made the night memorable.

Trey Kullman I’ve been to plenty of mediocre seafood joints by the water, but Monty’s wasn’t one of them. Family of 5 eating outdoors (great marina views!), and everyone had the best time and enjoyed our tour of the menu (stone crab claws, onion rings, nachos, grilled shrimp, etc.). Great happy hour specials, and the Painkillers were delightful. Shout out to Enrique for the killer service, daring me to sample the crab, and pointing us toward the key lime pie. He was great with the kids, kept everything moving, and didn’t miss a beat. 11/10 would recommend.

Valeria Larreategui Needed a place to kill 1 hr and found this gem and would 100% come back and recommend. The atmosphere is wonderful, they play lively but not overpowering music, at the right volume. The food (we just ordered a waffle to share and juices) and it was wonderful. Wouldve loved to order a steak but we had already eaten prior to coming here, however, it was reasonably priced. Hoping to come back to Miami beach soon so we can eat a full meal here. Nicolas was our waiter and he was excellent, quick and very kind and Alan at the door was on top of everything and perfectly interactive and welcoming while not being annoying.

Brit C I’ve been back here a couple times now on my travels to Miami. It’s always clean, attentive staff & has a great view of Miami’s South Beach city sky line. Beautiful pool & spacious. I’ve been served by Dahiana a few times now on my travels. She’s a great bartender & server. She’s always welcoming with a friendly smile. This place is good for all ages. Food is tasty too. And they even filmed part of Bad Boys here!

Luis Martinez 12/27/25 Pamplemousse on The Bay When we visited for the first time, we had an amazing “Sunset Hour.” We went for drinks and appetizers and of course, the Sunset and spectacular views of Miami. Our second time around was disappointing, not because of the views or our waitress, Rekkas, but of the confusion around the food. Before we visit a restaurant, we like to see the menu online to have an idea of what we would like to eat. When we got to the restaurant, we were informed that it was under new management and that they had a new menu. No problem, we inquired about the day’s special and the waitress sent one of the owners. He went over the menu and we decided on the Pan Seated Scallops, Special of the day. It was only three scallops on a butter sauce. When we asked, they told us that they got confused and that the plate was an appetizer. We also had “The Lemon Spaghetti with Caviar”. This plate is listed as $19.00 on the menu and if you add Caviar it says $29.00. They charged was $48.00 for the spaghetti. I called the restaurant and spoke to one of the owners/managers and he was kind enough to refund some of the charges because of the confusion. Despite what happened, we had a great time and we are recommending Pamplemouse on the Bay. “Eat deliciously”

Kim Tierney Restaurant Review My friend and I had the most incredible experience here last night. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations — the food, the service, and the cocktails were all outstanding. The tuna, featured both in the tartare and the crispy rice, was unbelievably fresh and flavorful. The filet was cooked to absolute perfection — tender, juicy, and beautifully seasoned. Every dish we tried showcased quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. What truly elevated the evening, though, was the hospitality. Our server/manager, Andre, made us feel genuinely welcome and well taken care of throughout the night. His warmth and professionalism added a personal touch that made the whole experience unforgettable. I can’t wait to return and try more from the menu. A true gem of a restaurant!

Melissa Gionti We had an amazing dinner at Meet Dalia! We got the dip trio with fresh baked pita bread.. so good!!! Our waiter, Gustavo, was excellent! Would definitely visit here again.
