    Our waiter, Valerian, made this evening so enjoyable. He was quick witted, knowledgeable, and very, very attentive. We came despite critical reviews and reports of very slow service. Wow, were we pleasantly surprised!! The location doesnt hint at what’s waiting inside. The setting and ambiance are relaxing and magical and our food was delicious. We’ll be back. Kudos

    Cafe Roval was absolutely my favorite restaurant so this reinvention is has a rough comparison. The atmosphere around the pond is actually a little bit improved with more comfortable furniture. I found the menu, a bit limited, and the dishes not exactly to my taste. When we arrived, the music was too loud, but the staff was very accommodating and turned it down. It’s a overall very good experience.

    The food here is absolutely disgusting I think from a can and then microwaved. Very cute atmosphere, but that’s the only thing going for this restaurant. Service was fine he was nice. I will not be returning to this place. It’s never even worth reviewing the dishes.

    ZOI never fails to provide a great experience. The ambiance is one of my personal favorites in Miami. (Make sure you request outdoor seating and towards the middle or back…that’s my personal preference especially for a date. The scenery is perfect). The Mediterranean food is amazing, and all the staff are great. 10/10

    Set my reservation for 8:45, table was ready a little before 9pm, but our waiter was unfortunately either under trained or overwhelmed. We sat there until 10:15pm he only took our order and we didn’t hear back from him again. Other couples were also complaining as he was nowhere to be seen. We decided to leave to another restaurant next door where their service was much better and we were taken cared of in a timely manner. They dropped the ball big time specially for Valentine’s Day. I felt it was a wasted of time and quite frankly ruined our date night.

    From start to finish everything was deliciousfor my mother’s birthday. Angela was an amazing waitress even with all the Valentines days shenanigans, attentive and knowledgeable. Drinks were a little stronger than expected but very worth it. Steaks and lamb were flavorful, though temperature wise the mark was missed. Best part was the Kadaif, absolutely amazing. Again Angela thank you so much and even more for putting up with my dad .

    What a disaster. This restaurant doesn’t have a clue how to manage their staff. We had a 3-course meal and it took 3-hours. 40 mins for our drinks to arrive which came with the apps and after we made it clear we wanted our salad after the apps, they brought everything together. Waiter yes’d us to death and never followed through. I literally asked him 3x to the point where I got angry and it still took another 10 mins. They had 100 kids in black tee shirts that you’d think were bussers but not one ever came to pick up a dish. Food was mediocre at best, and took 2-hours to get our entrees. Dessert took another 30 mins and after all the mistakes, he said “we are paying for your tea”. And to add insult to injury, instead of mint tea that the waiter claimed “ I’m going to make fresh for you” which is supposed to be herbal decaf, he brought GREEN tea which is caffeinated with a few mint leaves. $250 later and an included 18% gratuity (with NO alcohol) we left underwhelmed, disappointed and vowed never to return. We are big tippers but this team didn’t deserve even 10% and the lack of management makes this a no-go. Guys, save your time and money and avoid this trainwreck.

    Great restaurant for date night. This converted water pump house has a rustic charm. Tables strategically placed around a mesmerizing water body add to the allure. The food was above average Mediterranean fare with the cheese saganaki, lamb chops and octopus being the highlights. They had a limited menu for Valentine's Day, so the was disappointing as I really wanted to try some of their appetizers. Overall, lovely experience!

    very nice setting at night - most of the tables are outside and the outside space is quite large. The staff was polite, they certainly did not rush us, and the it was very quiet even though most tables were occupied. The food was ok, but unremarkable. The mezzes were fine and the sea bass was ok. The fig salad was scarce on figs, and was a bit disappointing.

    I’m almost afraid to write this because it might become the most popular spot and dining experience in Miami….. But, it truly was!! The food was delicious! The service was outstanding! Everyone went above and beyond their normal call of duty. It was my Anniversary and because it was chilly outside, they sat us inside near the fireplace. Then, the next day the restaurant made a phone call explaining they made a mistake on the bill and went ahead and credited the overcharge. This was not even on our radar. Absolutely stunning and spectacular place to spend a night dining out in Miami!

    The place it is beautiful but the service was one of the worst I ever had. Wine was served in plastic glasses The white bottle of wine was left in the table. When the food was brought to us, the entrances was missing, they went directly to the main course but they charged anyway. One of our companions ordered a plate for two as recommended by the serve, and it was just a small portion for one even though the plate cost almost 100 dólares. When we brought out the issues, we didn’t have a satisfactory answered. Love the ambience and the place is beautiful but I am not going there anymore.
