    Great tavern. They have an excellent selection of wines and beers. The waitress even knew how to serve Stella ( logo in the glass facing the customer like they do in Belgium). Lots of choices for vegetarians. The cheese board was very good. My wife said the burger was great. The chef really cares about the cooking as it is obvious from the quality of food. Friendly waitresses and the ambience is pleasant. Music is not so blaring that it was possible to have a conversation, a rarity in Miami. I would certainly go back when I am back.

    Arrived around 7:30 and ordered appetizer and entrees. Appetizer came no problem. About an hour later a different waitress checked on us. I informed her we we still waiting for our food. Came back 5 minutes later and asked what we ordered. I just said forget it.

    Extremely enjoyable experience. Ordered some cheesy nachos and a few drinks. Everything was great, outside seating is available, and it was one of the good places to visit while on a vacation. The servers are hard to get a hold of, but it's not a deal breaker. The seating is spaced out such that even when they're busy, it's not too crowded.

    The nachos were great and also the lemonade! Kat and Antonella are the best there! I have been 3 times to this place and these girls are rockstars! They had a halloween dog party and a lovely gentleman gave me some treats for my dog! How cool is this place?! Definitely a must visit! They make you feel at home!

    Solid bar/tavern with great local beers and food. The chili dog is a must go to.

    Without a doubt, the best spot for craft cocktails in South Beach. The cozy bar, expertly designed with eclectic decor, is impressively stocked with all manner of popular liquors, as well as rare top-shelf specialties. Their mixed drinks are creative and perfectly balanced. For the beer aficionado, the have an excellent selection of IPAs on tap and in can. Top off this excellent quality with friendly, fast services. I was here with two other women and we felt very comfortable and safe with both the staff and clientele. If you’re looking for a low-key yet classy place to spend the afternoon and evening, this is your place.

    We like this place, even though we wanted something fast. The Cuban sandwich was awesome

    Terrible experience! I went to this place because of the rating that it has on google but totally regretted it. If I could give 0 stars I totally would. The place looks nice so we decided to give it a try. We sat on a boot and decided to ask for drinks before food.. that was all we were willing to try after really bad taste. We order two palomas and one passion fruit mojito, they were REALLY BAD! Since Palomas were the worse of them all, we decided at least to ask the waitress to change one (we didn’t wanted to bother that much) but the service was totally nonexistent. After few minutes raising my hand another person came by since my waitress was no where to be seen, I think it was the bartender, and we told her that we didn’t like the Paloma. She looked at us in a really unfriendly way and just took the drink back to change it for a Mojito. We were trying to have a good time so we decided to let that go away… After deciding not to drink the other Paloma because it was really bad, we just needed the check to leave that place but again.. service nonexistent. All the waitress were gather around the bar and no one notice I was raising my hand. After few minutes, the waitress notice by miracle and took the check to the table, I quickly left my card on the book but she was gone.. again. Around ten minutes of my hand being raised and almost shouting at her took her to go back to the table.. really? I guess the conversation with the bartender was much interesting than us trying to pay. She just needed to turn around and be attentive since we were just behind! After placing my card, the system just asked for the tip. I placed a custom tip of $5 because I felt bad with myself not leaving anything. Not because she deserved any of it since I have had better service at any drive through. The machine printed the automatic receipt for me to sign and the waitress after seeing the tip for her nonexistent service just laughed quietly at me.. like really? Did she expected even the 18% for that service? I’m sorry but if I could I’ll ask for my $5 or even all back. This place doesn’t deserves my money and for sure doesn’t deserves my tip. I’m glad they were only 3 drinks and we didn’t order anything else because at least I only lost $58 and no more. NEVER GO TO THIS PLACE

    very close to the south point pier, amazing location, food was great. Has a bunch of vegetarian options and decent drink selection. We sat outside with the nice breeze, apparently that was right next to the smoking area which kinda ruined the experience. Otherwise great place, food and okay service.

    This place is great. Staff is lovely and nice. The vibe and the music is groovy. The food? Amazing! We started with the shrimp ceviche which I could have eaten a whole large bowl of. I’m serious. It was so good all I wanted was more. It is served with plantain chips and would recommend to everyone. I got a fresh pressed juice which was great. Hubby loved his gin and tonic which was how he makes his. We got the house made pasta with ragu. It was also great. Son got a Reuben and LOVED it. Everything was wonderful. We did have a little trouble getting our waitress, which can be a good thing. The eye didn’t pester us. The problem was we were ready to leave. The problem was a customer’s car was towed and he didn’t want to pay his bill so there was a slight kerfuffle that kept her attention away from us. She was great though. If you are in the area, I highly recommend. It’s a nice quiet alternative to all the bar/restaurants up ocean drive. Prices were better too.

    Amazing place for drinks and food South of 5th in SOBE. Nani is the best bartender and makes a killer margarita. On top of that the presentation is perfect! The staff and manager are amazing and the atmosphere is fantastic. I will be back next time I am in town.

  • 5/5 James G. 4 months ago on Google
    an amazing little find on the way to South Pointe Pier. Excellent service and quality. Bonus points for not automatically adding on a 20% tip (we tipped >20% because of the experience) Have breakfast here, visit the pier, then rent bikes and ride up the boardwalk!

    Service was mediocre bartender did not know what salsa was lol we ordered chips and guacamole, bad chips but guac was great, and I asked for a side of salsa; sorry no salsa but if you order nachos you can get salsa.. Serving size of food was laughable how tiny in was. Would never come here again. Ambiance was the best Drinks were good but way over priced but seems to be anywhere in Miami Beach area

  • 5/5 rafael a. 3 months ago on Google New
    Had a great time; Florencia and Ali were amazing, great service, 5 stars all the way. They recommended the nachos to share and they were right. The nachos were the best I’ve ever had, no cap. Beautiful bar. Their mezcal selection was extensive and tasty. One of the best low-key bars in south beach.

    Omg that steak taco was the best taco I have ever had!!!!!! don’t go back home without trying it

  • 1/5 Concerned C. 11 months ago on Google
    WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! Manger is very rude! Used foul language towards the customer. I watched the manger swear at a customer repeatedly. The poor waitresses were very embarrassed by the treatment the manger displayed. Please do not visit this restaurant, you will be disappointed and treated poorly! I will never return or recommend anyone visits this establishment after what I witnessed! There are so many establishments that you can go to where you won’t be verbally abused. My visit was RUINED to watch the way they treated this customer! PLEASE SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE!!

    I ordered an old fashioned and it was pure simple syrup. One of the worst cocktails I’ve ever had. The wait staff are friendly, though. The drinks are just trash.

  • 5/5 Arthur MacNew (. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here purely due to it's short walk from the Stanton South Beach hotel. Every bit of the food was outstanding. It's very casual with decent outdoor seating too. We had several appetizers and two mains for lunch. Size wise, we could have split one and one and still have been full by the end! Service was certainly laid back but very competent. Nothing but praise for our visit.

  • 5/5 martin j. 9 months ago on Google
    I really love this bar. The energy and the environment were great, with really good vibes. The drinks were excellent, especially Mica's Spresso Martini. It made me feel like I was at home. I highly recommend it.

  • 3/5 Carolina D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to watch a game, however the mani sandwich left much to be desired. We ordered it “blackened” and it came back boiled, and with seasoning just sprinkled on top. It was inedible. Ambiance was fun though.

  • 5/5 Krystal G. 1 year ago on Google
    We have a condo nearby and have been meaning to try it here because we’ve heard good things. So glad we finally did. The menu and the food is very normal, which is hard to find for some reason around here. I got the chili and chicken caesar salad and they were both delicious. We’ll be back!

  • 5/5 Maria J. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambiance was great and the ladies at the bar were very attentive and creative with cocktails. One (please forgive me for not remembering your name) suggested her espresso Martini. Well, it has been one of the best espresso martinis I have ever had! Thank you for a great evening and experience.

    Walk to the beach after you eat and drink some yummy healthy food, beautiful place in and outside. Relax in style and blow some steam inside or out as they are well equipped with nice furniture. Plenty of parking, bring your swim trunks and towel, trust me!! South Beach at its best Location location location

  • 5/5 Claudia R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very Cool Caribbean ocean vibe, Yes to the Paloma, yes to the Mojito, you’re welcome!

  • 5/5 Chris D. 1 year ago on Google
    Maria was outstanding. Gave great recommendations for the rest of our time in South Beach. Food was amazing. Prices were super reasonable. It’s down at the end of things but it’s worth your time and effort. They had a new hire who’s name I don’t recall but she made our mojitos and they did not disappoint. Don’t miss this stop if you are in the area.

  • 5/5 Rashad G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice and underrated spot. Situated at the end of Collins Blvd the area is a little more on the quiet side. Outdoor seating is available but the atmosphere and vibe inside is where it’s at whether you sit at the bar or one of the lavish couches or tables. Food is REALLY good and so are the drinks. They also do a small breakfast selection. Will definitely be back on our next visit. The “Miami State of Mind” drink will have you right where you want to be after one glass.

    Spent a few days in South Beach and hit this place up every day. Great atmopshere, food, and drinks. Great ribs! First night our waitress vanished, but a new one stepped in and made our night. Thanks for the great service Alena!

    The avocado toast are AMAZING! better than they look since the presentation is not the best. I really enjoyed having breakfast here. I Highly recommend the chai latte. The potatoes could use a bit of work.
