I loved the food! The service was nice, a bit slow but as I was being seated they just had a party of 25 walk in. Besides the weather was gorgeous. I ordered the Taste Kebab. I had no idea it was for two. Needless to say I saved 1/2 for another meal. Everyone, passing by, or in nearby tables stopped to look. The meal is lamb and veggies cooked in a nice light tomato sauce in a clay pot, with dough bread cooking on top acting as the lid. Then you are served with a bit of rice (my carb meter was on high alert) on a large clay plate. They cut out the lid so it’s a round disk on your plate, pour the veggies and meat on top. Then they remove the crispy bread on the rim of the pot. It’s like a stew and it was yummy! I also had 2 Tijuana Mules, they were great!

Moonlight is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been if not the best. Everything from A to Z was perfect, the hostess, servers, bartender, chef, food and drinks. I had a wonderful dinner, the food was exquisite (fisherman stew in the picture) and the service was top notch. Definitely coming back to try more in the menu.

So about the sticker shock. I ignored the other reviews about it. But the sticker shock is VERY REAL. Chicken ranks among the most inexpensive proteins universally and Yardbird is priced out like an expensive high-end steak house. So please be prepared for that when you arrive. Notwithstanding the shocking prices, the mango salad and the fried chicken are quite delicious. Yardbird arguably has some of the best fried chicken Miami has to offer–and this is coming a South Carolinian who was raised by a country black mother. I know my fried chicken! 🍗 The mac-n-cheese left a little to be desired. A bit too pasty for my taste. The impeccable service by Laura was far and away the absolute best part of my experience. She is so personable and efficient and she clearly has a very beautiful soul. Ask for Laura!! 😃

Yardbird has been around in South Beach’s Lincoln Mall “area” long enough to survive the fad restaurant trends in the area but retains the edgy energy lost in many of its neighboring establishments. It still delivers the best Saturday and Sunday brunch food and scene that attracts locals and tourists alike. Miami, especially South Beach is hard to keep up with, especially with the sucking sound of hip-trendy cool chefs and proprietors fleeing the island to the concrete urban chic of the Miami’s Design District. Yard Bird provides simple, impeccably sourced well prepared food. The service is professional as the owners and management have clearly invested in its people. It still has the cool – without the car ride to the mainland.

Me and my group of friends loved this place! Thank God there was no wait especially since it was the beginning of spring break. Food was delicious! One of the best chicken and waffles I’ve EVER tasted! The cocktails were amazing! The service was lovely! Will definitely be coming back to try your lobster Mac N cheese!!!

Roberto M. Was the best server I have had in almost 10 years. The best service possible. Never felt unattended, we even accidentally dropped a drink and he immediately came to the rescue. He had great recommendations and helped us enjoy the evening every way he could.

Had a great time here! They had a big selection of food and drinks and reasonable priced for Miami Beach. Left feeling full and satisfied. Their Cubano sandwich was great, and I had great service as well. Would love to come back again.

Food, drinks, ambiance were all wonderful and worth another visit. One thing I noticed (but didn’t say anything about) was a service fee. I should have asked what is was for, but I figured it was standard for that area since my bill also had a resort fee. Needless to say the service fee was gratuity (I ended up Googling it later that evening) on top of the 20% tip that I left. It was a learning lesson for me, so I would like to make others aware.

Great place. The service was awesome. My chicken soup tasted like the one my grandma use to make from scratch. The tres leches with the espresso poured over it was to die for. The chocolate cake was super decadent. Also got a half pitcher of red sangria which was tasty. Great atmosphere. Great food. Great service.

Had a very nice lunch at the Lincoln Road cafe yesterday. Generous portions of nicely prepared Cuban food. We’ll be back again. Sunday is a great day to stroll Lincoln Rd. and check out the Antique Show and have a great lunch at Havana 1957!

Sat inside to avoid the heat. Was told in all honesty by the hostess that we should be patient w/ the server covering the indoors because he was the only one working at the time. Didn’t seem delayed at all; everything progressed well. Omar was a great server, very attentive, and helpful in picking out items on the menu. Honestly, everything looked great and the descriptions were appealing. Great meal, reasonable prices, and fine service!

Marvin is our new best friend at the bar, as he made our amazing Cuban coffee every day while we were staying at the hotel next door. The coffee is amazing and the staff is super friendly and just fun to be around. The food is good, but like everything in Miami beach it is way overpriced. One day they were super short staffed and said the “kitchen was closed for 30 mins” until they could catch up. Glad they told us up front. Couldn’t get a to go order because they were just too busy. Staffing is just difficult right now. But, we liked the charm and character of the place. Again, the bar staff was amazing.

I wish I could give this place more than a 5 star review. Our waiter Francisco went above and beyond with the hospitality and making us feel welcomed. But not only is the customer service exquisite but the food is top of the line. Best food I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve eaten a lot of food and this food is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Francisco if you are reading this thank you for making my newly fiancé and my experience the best that we have ever had. EVER!!!!!

The food was amazing and so were the drinks! If you’re looking for a place with great Mexican food options, awesome drinks, picture worthy photo spots, and super great service, this is the place to be. I celebrated my birthday there with a group of friends and they all had good things to say about it.

We absolutely LOVED Semilla! Amazing food and service! I ordered the Truffle Parmesan Pasta and it was so delicious!! From beginning to end, the service was perfect and each person that took care of us was so nice. Very authentic and French from the food to the people that work there. The place was also super cute, we sat by the wine bar and loved It. It was the perfect place to celebrate a birthday as they put a pretty sparkler candle on the dessert for the birthday girl! Will definitely be back!

Very nice restaurant! Lamb lollipops cooked to perfection, but the veggies were unimaginably good. My companions enjoyed their crab risotto and truffle pasta as well. Only complaint, which is tiny – my mule wasn’t very gingery! But the whiskey sour was on point, and the draft beer is great. Highly recommend.

Pretty blown away by this place. I moved down the street a few months ago and have been testing my way around the block— this place is by far the best I’ve found. The food is delicious. Unique ingredients and flavors, well prepared, and the ambience is great, too. I’m a vegetarian and had no shortage of options. I’ll certainly be back.

Highly recommend Byblos! Never a disappointment. Fun vibe inside or outside and amazing food! Highly recommend just ordering a lot of items to share, definitely seems like the best way to experience so many different items with friends. Great cocktails and service. Definitely a crowd pleaser and a must visit spot!!

Highly recommend Byblos for a really nice dinner in Miami. Come here for a special occasion if you’re looking to have a great all around time. Celebrated a birthday here and when we walked in I knew it was a good decision. The vibe first of all in the restaurant is perfect, music, lights, decor. Food was very flavorful and drinks tasty. A little pricey but reasonable for what you get.

I would definitely recommend this place for the tacos and the price, great deal for what you pay for and get! Tasty, fresh – thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I got the shrimp tacos and my husband got the pork, definitely worth checking out if you are in the area. OH and they also give chips and salsa as well with your meal!

I was looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant. I’m so happy found this spot. I ordered 4 different things to carry with me to the airport. Man this was everything. Even when cold. My nachos were definitely cold when I got to it. It was still yummy😋 and extremely affordable. I was HAPPY 😊

Albert our waiter was so wonderful, friendly and charming. He helped us pick out the perfect wine and dinner selections. He was so helpful answering our questions about the menu. The food was perfect and very flavorful. I was especially blown away by the tiramisu recommended by him. This is a perfect spot to celebrate with a classy meal.

Highly recommend eating here. The staff is amazing. They even change take linens between guests. The food is amazing. My wife had the lobster ravioli and I had the spinach ravioli. Amos was our server and was very professional and made sure every need was met. I suggest getting reservations because they are usually busy.

Great place to sit outside and enjoy any meal. Gets a bit busy but other than that the food was good and you can’t get much of a better location.
