   This restaurant did not disappoint! The hotel is beautiful and so is the restaurant. The food was excellent; had the jalapeño corn fritters, ceviche, mushrooms and goat cheese, glazed short rib tacos, and seared snapper. Most of all, the service was unparalleled. I would recommend this to anyone in the area. It is pretty expensive but well worth it!

   I thought the flavors were laid out beautiful . Setting incredible . My only disappointments were the underwhelming quality of the tortillas for the taco . Expected more . That and our pavlova taking nearly 30 minutes . Server Kara was great . I’d go back bought would not get tacos

    Speechless. Decor and ambiance are inarguably incredible. But the food… the food is absolutely spectacular. My palette couldn’t believe the explosion of flavors in each dish. We loved the family style approach as we were able to taste many dishes. Amazing wine and cocktail selection, as well. And to complete the experience, service was impeccable (thank you to our waiter: Philip). So glad we were recommend the restaurant since we stayed at The Miami Beach EDITION, but even no one should miss Chef Jean George Vongerichten’s food while in Miami. We ordered: Roasted Beet and Citrus Salad, Shrimp Ceviche in Agua Diablo, Black Truffle and Fontina Cheese Pizza, Seared Snapper, Beef Tenderloin; Warm Valrhona Chocolate Cake, Coconut Tres Leches Cake.

    Jean George’s Matador Room is a rare jewel of the Miami Beach restaurant scene that perfectly captures the essence of what fine dining is meant to be. While staying at the beautiful Miami Beach Edition Hotel, we dined at the Matador Room three times and we couldn’t get enough of it. The terrace seating for brunch or lunch delivers a modern tropical garden overlooking the pool that offers sunshine, blue skies and greenery punctuated with pink Bougainville. The main room for dinner combines immersive, warm mood lighting and elegant decor that make you feel like you’ve been whisked away into the grand dining room of an Old World Conquistador. Chef Lateisha, who heralds from the Bronx and is as humble as she is accomplished, hit a five out of five on every single dish, a feat I have never experienced before - having lived in Manhattan previously. From the maitake mushrooms (surprise favorite) and the hearts of palm heirloom tomato salad, to the black truffle and fontina cheese pizza and the glazed short rib tacos, we found ourselves in culinary heaven. Chef Lateisha was gracious enough to spend some time at our table speaking about her passion for the art she has most certainly mastered. Service was refined and outstanding at every level. The waiter’s assistant, Schneider, was a class act. Matthew (our server for brunch) was gregarious, fun and dashing. He made us feel taken care of. And the star of the show was Kara, our server for dinner and lunch. Kara was practically perfect in every way. She was attentive, personable, articulate and warm. She has mastered the art of hospitality and her recommendations were spot on. She is the standard by which we will measure all servers going forward. Overall, our experience was spectacular. We highly recommend!

    Great experience at the Matador Room on a saturday night. We enjoyed the liveliness of the space, and the beauty of the outdoor patio. The server was very friendly and explained the dishes well. The food was well executed, however some misses such as the octopus being a little too rubbery.

    Gorgeous vibe, wonderful service, amazing food! My husband and I came here and requested a table outside, which was a slight wait. But we were invited to get cocktails at the outdoor bar which was fantastic! Lovely bartenders and excellent cocktails. We were quickly seated in the gorgeous outdoor space and our server was charming, very attentive, had excellent recommendations. The dishes were outstanding, the mushrooms, guacamole, and snapper might have been our favorites, but hard to choose! Great bottle of Syrah to go with. Highly recommend coming right before sunset and sitting outside!

    Another amazing meal at my fav Miami restaurant - Matador Room. I was greeted by the friendly and helpful manager, Eli. He is always terrific and helps make the dinner experience a memorable one. Our server. Anas, who we know, was incredible. Always professional, charming and generous. Every dish was perfect - the sweet pea guacamole, crispy potatoes, beet salad and the arroz con pollo. Everything tasted delicious and was presented beautifully. And the desserts - the molten chocolate cake is my fav. Andres was also very helpful during the meal. Look forward to returning to Matador.

    We made a birthday reservation for 6 people inclusive of a newborn and asked for outdoor seating. Were told this was a 30 to 45 minute wait and that only tables inside were available. We took the seats inside and from where we were sitting there were at least 4 tables completely empty which could've accomodate our party.

Staff was so professional and friendly and helpful and knowledgeable of menu in helping us order. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to come back. I always enjoy dining at Jean George restaurants. My first dining experience was at Vong’s in NYC and was hooked since.
