I had visited this location when it was Malibu Farm. It was underwhelming but ok, nice view. My family and I stayed at the Eden Roc(which we love) and after checking out on our last day we decided to go there for lunch. We sat inside and the tables were unstable to begin with and very sticky. I was looking forward to the Miami spice lunch but my companions wanted something small off the menu. I asked the waitress to please bring me the Miami spice menu and when she brought it to me she told me that I was unable to order the menu by myself. She said everyone at the table had to order the menu. I was very upset because there is nothing on the menu that I wanted to eat and as I said my companions just wanted something small for their lunch. So I ended up ordering something that I didn't want. I ordered a Cobb salad. When it arrived, it was served in a very small dish that looked pleasing but the actual dressing was on the very bottom and because of the size of the bowl I was unable to mix it. For me the meal was ruined because I had to order something that I didn't want. Perhaps in the future you can allow people to order what they like not have to order something that they do not like. The waitress was friendly enough and did her job but unfortunately the entire experience missed the mark. Although this is not the worst experience I've ever had, it did not compare to all of the other experiences I had on my Miami vacation. I can honestly say that when I vacation at the Eden Rock Hotel again, I will not be visiting you're establishment. I hope that you will read this as a constructive criticism not a complaint. Thank you for your time.

We had the most wonderful dinner! We had the Mahi Mahi and Fish and Grits with an array of Social Shareables. Each dish was fantastic and wow, the desserts! Make sure you leave room for dessert. We ordered 2 which were out of this world! Popcorn Cheesecake and the ice cream. The service was great and our server was very friendly. We definitely recommend this restaurant. Thanks again for a great meal and experience!

Came here after hearing of the great review the Herald gave it. Very underwhelmed. The bread and hummus was the best thing on the table all night. The dessert was hard as a rock and lacked sugar. Terrible flavor. The restaurant was extremely difficult to find once you enter the hotel, and it was empty on a Saturday night at 7:30. We won’t be back.

The place is right by the ocean, so you get a nice beach and ocean view. It started to rain, so they put the screens down, but we still got a little bit sprinkled on. We were ok with it, but the staff was very pleasant about checking on us to make sure we didn’t want to move. Food was really good, a little pricey, but good. We started out with the fish dip, and it was really delicious. We would go back!

We were seated at reserved time, however, after waiting 20 minutes (and not greeted by a server) we left. Will note, during that duration, a server visited 2 adjacent tables 2-3 time. But the views from the hotel lobby to the restaurant were picturesque!

The service was horrible. We were a party of six and the waiter completely forgot to put in the order for one of our table diners. Had he checked to see how we were doing after the meal was served, he would have discovered the error sooner. Instead, the rest of the table was finished by the time the forgotten order arrived. No accommodation was offered until I insisted that the waiter ask the manager to remove the forgotten meal from the bill. Then the waiter had the nerve to point out that we asked to take half of the meal that one diner had no time to eat before we had to leave for our event with us as reason not to remove it from the bill. The food was good, but not good enough to make it a value for the price and certainly not good enough to endure the aggravation of the server. The view/ambiance was very nice with a great view of the beach/ocean. We will not return.

Slowwwew service & we were one of perhaps 10 people there. They took 45 mins just to bring out oysters. Perhaps they went swimming to go catch them with how long we waited for the appetizers. The manager was very sweet and gave us complimentary drinks- and the food was in fact delicious but they were absolutely so slow for no reason.

A nice spot to dine and see the ocean, and not such a crazy atmosphere. The food is very good (not cheap) but you have to stick to how the meals are prepared vs being able to pick a fish and sides. Didn't have wine so can't speak to that selection.

I usually don’t write reviews however dinner at this place was the worst food I had in a long time. I ordered the Eden salad which was lacking any test whatsoever and I had ordered grilled snapper on the side which tasted mushy, fishy and was simply gross. And then I found some old scraps of the grill in my salad - assuming thats what it was - looked very unappetizing. The staff was nice enough to credit the salad and gave a cake. It is mind boggling that anyone ever eats there again Except for the beautiful view and being right near the water The noises unfortunately was overwhelming our conversation. What a great spot it could be …. Shame
