   Easily the most immersive dining experience I’ve had in Miami. Food was delicious, as aesthetically pleasing as you could want, service felt a little slow but attentive, prompt, and worth every minute. Boris, Schneider and Gill took care of us and we’re incredible. Shoutout to Boris for the dessert he surprised us with. Put an absolute bow on top of an already incredible experience.

   From the moment, our party at five walked into their beautiful bar area and enjoyed terrific drinks till we sat down and started to taste a fabulous menu. The evening was enchanting. Service was wonderful. Food was great. Getting together with friends that were visiting from the area and celebrating your birthday was treated wonderfully! I can't say enough how beautiful the Ambiences. Thanks for a great night.

   Fantastic meal, service, and ambiance. We sat outdoors, the lighting, foliage, and furniture were lovely. The food was perfect, we ordered a series of small plates for the table. Loved the grilled octopus. The chef and server were very knowledgeable and accommodating for gluten free options as well.

    We just ate at the Matador Room two nights in a row and it was FABULOUS! The views, atmosphere, service, and food are all OUTSTANDING! We were greeted by the Charming Host Andres- so welcoming. Excellent service from our servers Matthew, Andres, Ali and Anas- all phenomenal. The bartenders Michael, Leo, and Jean took great care of us as well. EXCELLENT FIVE STAR service all around. The chef Noel even came out to our table to check on us- impressive. Thank You to Managers Ely, Wendy and Alba for these exceptional employees. We will be back again real soon.

    Mushroom taco wasn’t what was expected from Jean George. Mostly filled with burnt zucchini and lacking any flavor. Had better at a taco truck stand for $5. JG can do much better, hopefully next time.

    Made a reservation - that so happened to come available, as Miami reservations have become more difficult to obtain last minute. Walked in to Matador expecting a packed house, due to lack of reservations, and it was nearly empty, which was incredibly annoying. Good thing the food here (I think) is still good as it was a couple of years ago.

    I had the octopus which was ok, not great. The octopus was small and overdone but the sauce was flavorful. The grouper tacos were very good. The outdoor ambience is quite nice.

    Showed up 5 minutes early for reservation, place wasn’t busy. Was told to come back in 5 minutes. Weird. Came back 5 minutes later and was seated. Saw the waiter on three occasions - when ordered food, when food was delivered, and when check was brought. Another waitress helped, which was great. Food was good, but super small portions…and for the price…let’s just say it’s a bad deal when you have to go to McDonalds after the dinner so you can not go to bed hungry on vacation. Lol. Just an overall weird experience for a nice restaurant. Lot of better options on Miami Beach…this is not one we will probably return to.

    Arrived at 8 for reservation and had to wait 10mins to be seated, took another 30mins to order a drink and also talk to the server. The food and drinks were good, but the service was almost non existent. I would understand if the restaurant was busy, but half of the tables were empty, and there were more than enough staff working. Better value and all around dining experiences in Miami Beach. Avoid

    The food is consistently good and creative. We love the idea of sharing different plates. It’s aleays quite good. The only challenge is that if you put your full order, everything wil arrive at pretty much the same time and you wind up eating something colder or faster than you would like to. We habr worked around this by separating our order into two. However, dinning here is generally a very good experience.

    I’m a frequent guest at the restaurant. Never been an extra attention. The food wasn’t what it was this time , I heard from the server that the kitchen is going through changes. Such a pity that it wasn’t the best experience for my family and I . I’m always suggesting this place , the octopus , arroz con pollo and avocado pizza are my fave, not this time.

    Our server (Phillip or Phillipe?) was lovely and really made our dining experience extra enjoyable. The atmosphere is super fun, too, with the sunken circular area in the middle. We had a great time taking in the surroundings, the decor and the people. Food was really good but I don’t think I would say excellent. We shared the lettuce hearts salad and my husband also had the shaved Brussel sprouts and cauliflower salad. I was going to share the latter w/ him but then we realized it had bacon or some other type of meat in it, and I am vegetarian, so I couldn’t partake. He liked it, though! We split the ricotta and broccoli rabe pizza (we asked for no chorizo) and it was yummy but eats more like a flatbread than a pizza. We also had the impossible flan and it was great!! I was very impressed w/ the texture of the flan… not as gelatinous as usual. Overall, I recommend the Matador!!

    We were vacationing in SoBe. This was our second enjoyable visit to Matador Room. As we did last time, we dined al fresco with a clear view of the swimming pool. The feeling at Matador Room is lively--you feel alive! The décor is chic. This is upscale South Miami Beach. The Miami EDITION hotel, home of Matador Room, is pearly white, very smooth and cool...luxury cars seem to be always parked out front. This is a great place for a Sunday brunch. We were treated very well at the outdoor bar by an attentive bartender while we waited for our table. The hostess sat us at a shaded table, as we requested. Our server was personable and attentive throughout. The food here is what you'd expect from a Jean Georges establishment: executed perfectly. The menu is eclectic Latin American-influenced fare. Although last time we enjoyed two of our most memorable pizzas, here we kept it leaner. We started with a delicious, citrussy shrimp-dominated ceviche. My wife then had the grilled salmon salad. Lovely. I enjoyed the Florida black grouper fish tacos. Plenty of tequila, mezcal and tm-derived cocktails. The weather was fab. Matador Room gets my highest recommendation. I'm sure dinner would be wonderful, but we'll continue to have our SoBe Sunday brunch here in the future.
