    HORRIBLE doesn’t even begin to explain the time I had! My family of 7 and I decided we’d grab a late night bite to eat after leaving the go kart place we visited. Upon arrival of the restaurant we were quickly seated, good vibes no problem all good. After we ordered, about 15 mins into waiting for the food the waitress came back & said they couldn’t make the Quesadilla that I ordered because the grill was shut off. Ok No problem I won’t eat I’ll just let my family enjoy their meal. After about 50 mins we we got our food, (Keep in mind there’s no one in the restaurant part of the Bar & restaurant.) we were the only ones eating. Everyone else was at the bar being attended to by the bartender. The well done burger we ordered was completely pink on the inside, (Problem), the Buffalo Crispy Chicken sandwich is Grilled Chx W/ buffalo sauce spread on it (problem) also ordered a buffalo chicken wrap, it fell apart because the tortilla was so dried out & old. Upon asking for a manager we were told “ we don’t have one here “ okay we then proceeded to lay out the problems we were experiencing. The ladies were horrible at problem solving & customer service, i returned all of our food & told them to take care of the bill because this is all your guy’s fault. There biggest complaint of us was that “ we didn’t pay for our 3 watered down soda’s we ordered. & because of that they called me a “thief”, upon being insulted I replied “call the police I’ll wait for them to get here” “this is not a “dine n dash, this is not theft” I said to the staff. This was nothing like they made it seem. I really feel sad for the owner of this establishment. SMH! & they said to me “ you’ll never be able to come back “ trust & believe me “I’ll never be back”

    1. Food was disgusting, as other mentioned on the review, it should be go on bar rescue show. See how their margarita pizza and fried calamari, pizza is ridiculously bad and calamari was not fresh at all, I basically left the whole thing. 2. Gratuity for to go? I don’t know nowadays Miami bar and restaurant are doing such of rip off to tourists 😒 Do not recommend at all, be aware what they charge you.

    Came for dinner. We were the only ones here (red flag but gave it a try) obviously you can see waitress was more interested in drinking at the bar. Took forever to get food (again, only ones here) she had to come back three times to ask what we ordered. Finally wrote it down the third time. Guess, what. Somehow blackened chicken breast dinner turned into a Maui Maui sandwich. She said “this is the sandwich you ordered” lol, I didn’t even order a sandwich and not even the right animal if I did. Anyway too much wrong with the order to list. the bill was not accurate. Had to bring the cook out to get it corrected. I paid, left a $0 tip (first time in my life I have ever done that) This place was bad enough to put a review up and warn others.

    Food was great. Our server was amazing and sweet. Only thing is that the menu isn’t updated. We both ordered the chicken wrap and it cost about $13.00 (menu said $11.00). Gratuity/tip is already included. Nice mom and pop shop/vintage vibe. It’s inside the Lexington hotel. A very short walk if you’re in the south beach area near FAENA.

    This is a legit dive bar. The cloudy fish tanks, that unique aroma of stuff… you get it. Staff behind the bar and I. The kitchen work hard but are always smiling and friendly.

    *prices on the menu may not be the actual price on the bill - staff advises they cannot fix price issues I hate giving a 2 star but this place needs some owners/management intervention! So much potential, but mostly dive bar meets 1990s red lobster decor on Collins (not wheelchair ♿️ accessible) -Soda guns need cleaning and CO2 The line tastes moldy The soda is flat We tried cola and sprite and had to send our drinks back and get a canned mixer only (forgetting, we later got waters and same) Tito's and Captain Morgan are $10-12 per shot. So double, tall mixed drinks are $20-24/each. Normal Miami prices 🥴 -The bar edge (where forearms rest) is sticky and may need to be stripped - not a drink spilled sticky, but build up sticky (former 12 year industry worker) - Be warned, during regular rain, the floors flood... Near women's & men's room at least an inch of water - do not wear sandles or low heeled shoes - your feet will be in the water. The food is SO GOOD! Somebody's uncle was putting their food in the food - seasoned to perfection! We chose crabcakes, fried mozzarella, and jerk chicken eggrolls. The portions are fair for pricepoint! The service was A-1 though and the staff played AWESOME music. The two women who were working were so helpful, prompt and fun (aside from the pricing issue) I would return just for the food and their service.

    Very catchy “beaches” and not beach bar and grill. Food was ok, not the greatest and the girls hustle to get your food and drink fast. Joe (a girl) was polite enough and had very nice attention. I hope this place get serious about service and quality. Has a lot of potential.

    Ordered a quesadilla. They put raw onion and bell pepper inside and sprinkled dry shredded cheese on top. Probably the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten. It was empty inside which should have been my first clue. Steer clear , this place is awful

    Went this afternoon and had the worst service. It was slow and there were only two tables with people (us included) and two people at the bar. My boyfriend and I only got salads and it took 30+ minutes. Salads arrived and it was DRENCHED with dressing. Also I’m a vegetarian and asked for the Caesar wrap without chicken. There were tiny pieces in the salad like as if they messed up and tried picking it out after the fact. The second table I mentioned with a party of around 8 received their food so much sooner than we did. Waitress did not even check in during that 30+ minute wait to try and ease our thoughts. Would NOT recommend.

    Welp, I was staying at the hotel and stumbled upon this joint. You first walk in an experience the amazing “aroma. “ I have no idea what the horrid smell is, but it stiiiiiiinks. The bartender was more interested in drinking then serving. If you’re not a local here, don’t bother coming here. The bartender who was “serving” us, shift had ended and asked us to close out. 4 drinks and one plate of food , $90 later. She left, and the three other waitress had no care on refilling our drinks or asking if food was alright. Instead, they mingled with locals and drank. The bathrooms were disgusting. Ordered spaghetti and that was the only light at the end of this tunnel. The food was decent. So whoever is in the kitchen, good job. Seriously. Other then that, if you can avoid this place. Do it.

    Our Bartender/Server was absolutely fantastic. The food... not so much. We ordered shrimp Mac n cheese, crab cakes, and fried shrimp. All of which were absolutely terrible. The shrimp Mac n cheese taste like it was made with nacho cheese sauce. The crab cake was soggy with no crisp on the outside with dry and bland inside, and the fried shrimp was seasoned with air and water. Not a spec of salt... pepper... nothing. With 2 drinks, the bill came to about $125. I felt like I had a $50 experience. But.... again.... my server was the highlight and THE ONLY reason I didn't complain.

    Service was terrible and no drink refills. They had to remake my sandwich bc they forgot the cheese I asked for, and they forgot to put bacon on my sisters burger. And they completely forgot about my dad’s salad. Other waitresses were coming in just standing around, talking, and vaping, when they could’ve been helping the one waitress that was there working by herself.

    Nice little spot for a meal and drink that isn't terribly overpriced. Service was fine. Gratuity is automatically added to the bill.

  • 1/5 Brittany N. 10 months ago on Google
    Worst service I’ve ever experienced.. We had to wait ten minutes to be greeted/seated. Our waitress (Jay) was the only server and seemed overwhelmed. We ordered waters and that took another ten minutes to come out. The waitress was very forgetful. Lemon slices were in our waters with the produce sticker still on them! My dad ordered a salad that never came, our burgers/sandwiches were missing cheese/bacon, and the burgers were not seasoned at all. Never got my extra condiments i ordered. The server is guaranteed a 15% gratuity but it was undeserving. Every customer who was seated in the restaurant looked unhappy. Four additional servers came into work while we were there who all stood around vaping and talking and didn’t help. Music choice was trashy. The Jerk egg rolls were good 🤷🏽‍♀️

    The chili cheese fries and wings were decent. Reasonably priced dive bar. The service is not the best but they are nice. You'll just be sitting there and no one offers to get you a drink! 3 bar tender girls are great at ignoring customers! It's actually kinda funny!

  • 5/5 Milano S. 1 year ago on Google

    Didn't go for the bar experience but a late night pick-up. Pretty standard pizza and nachos except the sauce on the pizza was a hit and the seasonings on the meat in the nachos was great it gave our meals that little something extra. Service was good.

  • 4/5 Abderrahim A. 1 year ago on Google
    The wait was a bit long but worth it. The food was so good. We took the mojo chicken, glad we only took one cauz it was big. The pictures can speak. The waitress was nice thank you.

    Stumbled into this place and did not expect much. Blown away by the incredible Shrimp Scampi!!! Best ever!!! Asparagus was grilled to perfection and salad was overflowing!! Our server was amazing!!!! Kudos to the chef.... We will return!! Thank you!! 4 star rating was only because it was not a fancy place. So glad we found it!!!!!

    Do not recommend. Wanted something quick and close to our hotel to go while we got ready for the evening. Ordered via phone and was told 20min. Walked over and was told our food was not ready. We then waited almost another hour with no apologies or updates on our food. we wasted an hour of our time sitting there waiting. We were never even offered a drink, alcoholic or non, while waiting. Very disappointing.

  • 4/5 Cate B. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered take-away from here and honestly it was great, everything was bagged and ready within 20-30 minutes. The folks tending the bar were very nice when they talked to us, but it was definitely an air of 'oh that's so-and-so's to-go order, don't look at them' sort of thing (like I actually heard one of them say not to worry about us because we were a take-away order). I don't think that's an issue exactly (bartenders want to focus on the people there to drink! That's the money!) but if we had wanted to sit and grab a drink we would have been ignored for quite a minute, I think. Tip is included in the bill itself, however it's only 15% so do with that what you will. I could not find an easily accessible bathroom (no obvious signs, perhaps around a corner?) to check out, so at least we weren't staying. There are lots of steps down into the bar, and I did not see any accessible alternatives to get down into the building. I don't think I would like to sit down and eat here, just due to the general atmosphere of 'loud, cramped divebar', but the food was great and I'm glad we got it! The portions were very good for the prices, especially compared to a lot of other local alternatives. (4 stars instead of 5 due to cleanliness of the building. I really wouldn't want to sit down here because I'm very picky regardless of what kind of establishment it is, but the food was worth going in to check it out!)

    Mahi tacos were fresh , they used a homemade dough for the taco shells and it’s so good. The fried pork chunks were spot on Puerto Rico style mofungo. It was a great meal . Atmosphere is tiki dive bar . Fantastic joint
