   Likely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in south Florida. Highly recommended. The tasting menu was spectacular. Every course. Simply amazing. A total sensory and tasteful experience. Not cheap but worth it for a real dining experience. We ordered a bottle of wine and a glass to finish off with the last course and dessert. Expensive but totally worth every cent. Terrific service I hope to come back. On par with Pujol in Mexico City as best restaurant overall food and service.

   Incredible service from start to finish. Winter 2022 Tasting menu is super cool, would not recommend to someone with a lot of allergies and restrictions. Cocktails are so yummy!

    8-course Prix Fixe. Delicious, inventive food, expertly prepared and thoughtfully served. The music was low enough that we could hear each other. The meal took over two hours, and we enjoyed every minute. The lighting is a bit low and the decor a bit dark for our taste, but very cosy and comfortable all in all.

    Always an amazing experience. From the minute you get in the ambience is nice. Especially that you can see the chefs at work through the glass divider. Each of the courses are delicious with amazing flavors. From the minute you come in to the minute you leave they know how to cater to your needs and give you a unique experience with all the combinations of flavors. I highly recommend the wine pairing as they know how to pair the wines with each course.

    Standard “fancy” food. Good but nothing special. Definitely not worth the price tag - much better tasting menus to be found elsewhere. Service was oddly paced: servers would remove our dishes before I finished chewing the last bite but then we’d wait 20 min for the next plate to come out. It was also relatively empty when we sat (~6:30) but we were placed at a table in the very back corner next to the emergency exit door. Plenty of other free tables available. Just a very mediocre experience all around.

    What a disappointment. Had to wait for our table for twenty minutes. Had two great starters (potato’s and gnocchi with shrimp). After we finished the starters, the server came over and told us that the chicken we ordered as an entree was sold out and they didn’t have any more. Since there was nothing else on the menu, I asked again and all of a sudden they had chicken again. Very odd. Chicken had a bad texture and did not taste good. Another ordered the swordfish and when it came, they explained the dish as having eggplant purée under the swordfish. The person who ordered this is allergic to swordfish. When we told the server that there was no mention of eggplant on the menu, the manager came over and told us that they can’t possibly put all the ingredients on the menu and we should have been told that we had allergies. Really, I think the server should have asked if we had allergies. Since eggplant was not mentioned on the menu, how would anyone know to ask. Food was mediocre and would not go back.

    I was here before when the restaurant opened and my dinner was great. Last night when I came back was able to appreciate the evolution of the food, more complex flavors and taste combinations that surprise even an educated palate. The swordfish was the most rated plate. Chef 👩‍🍳 beautifully enhanced the flavor of this white fish 🐟 The Servers did a great job and were very attentive. Good value for a Michelin starred place. A little bit noisy but lively. Keep doing what yo do! 🤩

    El servicio apurado y desatento. Le pedí a la persona que traía muy apurado los Platos que explicara más despacio y no lo hizo Pedí un plato vegetariano y me trajeron pato sobre unas verduras y no lo cambiaron incluso cuando pedí expresamente un plato vegetaríano y hablaba mi idioma no hubo ninguna confusión hubo pura desatención . Nos trajeron el segundo plato sin levantar el primero ( tengo el video o la foto pero no la subo de cortesía ) comimos con las sobras del primer plato en la mesa. La comida nada especial, el postre lo más rico. Usan nitrógeno aparte del plato que te traen supuestamente con algún aroma que no percibimos, no desarrollan ninguna experiencia. Pero sobre todo y lo mas importante a nadie le interesa el comensal todos corren para todos lados se chocan , hay una tensión muy evidente en el aire que nadie se ocupa de disimular , nos trajeron y sacaron un plato porque se equivocaron de mesa, etc y ect no conectan en ningún momento con las personas. Muy económico pero eso no era lo que buscábamos. Nos decepcionó.

    Yes, I would recommend. The restaurant and its decor are inviting and warm, the service and food were excellent and oh the food, oh how incredible everything was. I enjoy fine dining and have dined out a lot and this was truly one of the best meals we have had in South Florida. Great job and we highly recommend!

    Stubborn Seed received a Michelin star this year for the first time - it's very well-deserved. Excellent dishes in a beautiful space. I've eaten all over South Beach and this spot is far and away the best you can find. It's on the level of other Michelin-starred restaurants all over the world.

    I was disappointed in my meal here. The gnocchi was so salty it was almost inedible. The saving grace was the bartenders outstanding wine recommendations and the guava/passion fruit choux bun for dessert. One of the most balanced and perfect desserts I have ever had. Overall, my expectations are higher for a restaurant of this caliber when it came to food.

    Really nice welcome with a personalized menu! We loved the food and the passion from the server explaining the dishes to us ! Unfortunately we took the wine pairing and our wines were always (too) late with little explanation about the wines. For a Michelin star restaurant a better service can be expected! Overal still loved discovering the place !

    Food was delicious but the tasting menu's pacing/timing for each dish was way off. Our first 3 courses came out in the first twenty minutes. The subsequent courses came out every 30 to 45minutes. Our wine pairing sat on the table for over 20min before the food showed up in some courses. If they can figure out the pacing, then overall it wouldve been a 5 star experience.
