   Todo lo que pedimos estaba 5 puntos, es decir regular. El pulpo seco, muy cocinado, el ceviche, un solo pedacito de pescado, el atún, regular. Por ultimo pedi un old fashioned, me trajeron un vaso lleno de hielo, realmente el trago lleva un solo hielo grande.

   We love this place so much - the setting and staff especially. But our latest visit was not outstanding! The server seemed a little distracted - she forgot our homily and it came mid way through the meal. The whole snapper was also really lacking in flavor and just came with a few undressed leaves on the side. The menu overall is lacking in vegetarian options. But we keep coming back regardless, as overall the vibe is just great

   Michaels is always our destination when we come to Miami. They never disappoint. Love the expansion, the food, the staff and ambience. So glad they didn’t survive Covid. Thank you!

   The best service in Miami. Staff know their menu and are most accommodating of food preferences and restrictions. And the food is exceptional, too.

   Vito’s Stracciatella tomatoes cut was a bit different. The short rib hash found too many fatty chunks and i had that dish in the past. Service was amazing. A little disappointed with the food this time. I hope quality doesn’t change because this is my favorite place to brunch

    This is for internal review and not to be published. Always been a fan- since it opened on the early 2007. Friends from LA came to town and I wanted to show them where the food movement towards better eats started in Miami. Sorry to say - but we had. a disappointing experience all around- which was a surprise and sad. From the bread not being fresh, to bad food pacing, overcooked stapes and uncaring and slow service

    Food was incredible, we had the tomato and beet salad, the ceviche and the pork belly. Portions were generous to share. Will definitively go back! I reported an extremely dirty bathroom and it never got attended. Heard other customers complaining about this as well. Otherwise great restaurant in the Design District.

    Too expensive, the food was standard. We have returned the artichokes as they were impossible to eat. It is a nice place, with nice ambiance but it is not worth the money for the quality of food received. There are many other better alternatives in the city with much better food and service

    The food is good; however, the price is too high for what it is. I would not go again. If you go, the French toast was the only thing we had that was satisfying.

    We return again and again to one of our favorite places to dine. The shared items amongst 4: The signature creamy deviled eggs, stracciatella & heirloom tomatoes (tone of my favs but the only disappointment) , the MGFD pastrami sandwich cut into 1/4s (house smoked and a great version of a NYC classic) a pork arugula delicious pizza (the light crust reminiscent of Naples Italy!) a mezzanine platter with a gorgeous house-made baked pita, and a great grilled grouper sandwich accompanied with fries. Dessert: Dark Chocolate Torte, passion fruit syrup and mango sorbet a great finisher. Missing that fantastic donut , berry compote of yesterday. Note: the waiter was professional, attentive and actually credited the stracciatella & tomato appetizer. I have ordered this dish each and every time over the past 10+ years. It was served with a good amount of creamy stracciatella and luscious ripe heirloom tomatoes. It arrived with a meager amount of stracciatella compared to years ago and unripened quartered heirloom tomatoes. I mentioned the tomatoes and another batch was brought ( kudos for that!’ ) but they were equally unripened. This appetizer should not have gone out the door to the table and the staff acknowledged my disappointment by crediting the bill for the cost. Gone are the days when MG was one interior room with a few tables and booths and a few scattered tables outside (which is OK since the space has expanded) but it appears gone are the large ripened tomatoes and what was always a mouthwatering appetizer. I hope not. I’ll give it a try next time with hopes that it was a unusual event.

    Food / service was great but I found that the pork belly portions were really small compared to the past. And sadly many small kids screaming that day that ruined the ambience. You should put families in a different corner where kids can scream without annoying Al the guests.

    Food was very little, ordered sprouts and it came maybe 4 cut in halves, tuna tartare was good but still portions were very small, pizza was fare but not even great, octopus portions small but tasted good. Service was good, place looks nice.

    Zafar may be the best person we have worked with in a long history of dining at restaurants across the world. His knowledge, professionalism, and charisma were simply astounding. Although we are in a culinary capital, we feel inclined to return just because of how exemplary his service was. Thank you for making our meal magic.

    Everyone was great except our waiter. We waited at least 20 minutes to order drinks Then waited 30 to order appetizers Had to ask him to remove my empty martini glass after it had been empty for 20 minutes. Every time we called him over he seemed annoyed For was great find ambiance was amazing
