   Vladimir was the most attentive and charming server paired with the genius level food made the experience unforgettable. The pastry chef even sent us home with an additional cake to eat the next day.

   This wonderful intimate Michelin experience exceeded our expectations. The quality of the food, exquisite presentation, and attention to detail created one of the best chefs tasting experiences we have had. Vladimir was an exceptional host and educated us through each course with passion and dedication to ensuring we had the best experience. He even adjusted the room temperature to ensure our comfort! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

   It is one of the two Lloyd best restaurants in Miami along with Robuchon. An unexpected delight. The only problem was I came a bit late because of traffic and was not served the first two courses as result as everyone eats at the same time

   From the moment you step into Tambourine Room, it’s clear that this small, yet stunningly decorated gem is something special. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming, with every corner thoughtfully designed to create a perfect dining environment. The experience from start to finish was nothing short of extraordinary. The service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest felt valued. It’s a level of hospitality that you’d expect at a Michelin Star restaurant, and they delivered on every front. As for the food? Each dish was a masterpiece in itself. Not only were the flavors bold and perfectly balanced, but the presentation was a true work of art. Every plate was bursting with color, texture, and flavor that made each bite an experience to savor. The wine pairings were nothing short of perfect, enhancing the flavors of each dish without overpowering them. It's clear that the team has a deep understanding of both food and wine, elevating the meal to another level of sophistication. All in all, Tambourine Room is everything you would hope for in a Michelin Star establishment and more. A memorable dining experience that is simply unparalleled. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a culinary journey that delights all the senses.

   My wife, daughter and I had a sensational experience at the Tambourine Room for my wife’s birthday. We wanted to do something special and this restaurant did not disappoint. Each course was unique, bursting with unexpected flavors, and beautifully presented. For me, the oyster, halibut, and squab were the stars, but everything we were served was absolutely delicious. Our server, Vladimir provided exceptional service, and made the experience even better. He took the time to explain all of the dishes, their components, textures, and inspirations, and was personally engaging without being intrusive. The room is historic, intimate and beautifully appointed. Its Michelin star is well deserved, and we are really looking forward to going back to try the new menu in April when it changes for the Spring. highly recommend the Tambourine Room!

   The main course was completely decadent and worthy of a 2 star Michelin. The service is great, it can get on the chillier side once seated for an hour. Service was AMAZING all of them. Table spacing can be a bit smarter. We started with a pre dinner amuse of pork belly taco (good), then a croqueta of bacallo (even better), then crab one bite (best) followed by oxtail soup (good); next amouse of oysters and caviar (really good but not quite the oysters and pearls taste from Per Se or French Laundry); next was bread and butter and the only places to match are the Modern and Epicure in Paris (Devine); then shrimp with artichoke lemon (Devine); then Atlantic Halibut (Best in Show - i do not like Anice and it was so balanced in the Tarragon and with the black garlic that i could have had a vat of it -thank you); then palate cleanser of whiskey/mango/passion fruit (Really Good) then the squab (WOW);the rest was desert and a disappointment. Look i get being cutting edge and i can bake as well at the level, she needs balance to reqlly represent Puerto Rico and dessert better (this is the reason for 4 stars and onpy reason). She is young and needs a mentor before going to this level. Some suggestions: she has a delicate but simple Bombolini but too simple and then puts it with a ginger ice cream thst is too strong, she forgot the balance with lime and cream...make it a flan ice cream on the creamy sode and then throw the ginger in, the flavor will be more Puerto Rico and then more balanced. Also why Italian? Ho Getmsn or Puerto Rican, invent the mini dessert Mofongo, you were too out there to show off spice in a dessert but wothout the delicate balance that this level calls for. You need time because the skill is clearly there. Overall i am really happy the Tambourine Room is in Miami and look forward to returning. Merci and Dankeshern Heir Tristan, you make Escoffier proud!

    My wife and I had a truly exceptional dining experience at the one-Michelin-starred restaurant in Miami. We are familiar with Michelin-starred restaurants already, so we have high expectations, and it was great that this one stood out to us. Miami has a vibrant food scene, but it's not always easy to find restaurants that meet Michelin's high standards. The fact that this restaurant was unique and exceeded our expectations suggests that it's truly doing something special. One-star Michelin restaurants are recognized for their high-quality food, skillful technique, and consistent excellence. It's clear that this restaurant hit all the right notes for my wife and me, and I'm sure we'll be raving about this experience for a long time.
