The burger and the Mediterranean salad

Great eatery tuck away on the second floor of Bloomingdale's inside Aventura mall. Clean & cheerful place with tables along windows and a bar eating area, good staff and good menu choices, with brunch menu on weekends. Over a week period I had the Mediterranean salad with grilled salmon, delicious, then another time the burger with grilled onions, mushrooms and roasted bell peppers succulent served with strings French fried potatoes, very copious, all priced reasonably, the service was great and the food served in a reasonably short time. I recommend this place.

Today's lunch specials

This turned out to be a lovely surprise. It's a hidden away cafe in the corner of the second floor of Bloomingdales that is well worth searching out if you are at Aventura Mall. I was meeting a friend at the mall while tagging along with my husband who had a work appointment there. We usually go to the same place every time (the Cheese Course) as it's fast and convenient, but still better than the food court. And we've enjoyed the Bistro in Nordstrom's since being introduced to it via a Yelp event in Boca. But I was looking for a new place to try. According to my friend who lives near the mall, there's a new Peruvian place that opened there, but she's not big on ceviche and a new pizza place, but the service is very slow there. So on to my trusty yelp app to dig up an option. I didn't have high expectations based on some of the previous reviews, but boy was everything so good that this is now going to be my go to place in Aventura Mall. From the moment we entered (just my husband and I), we were warmly greeted. The place is all done in black and white. We were seated at a window table with a bit of sun, even though one of our party wasn't there. As it was cool out, the sun felt good. We explained to the friendly server that we were waiting for one more to join us. No problem. Would we like drinks while we waited? She came back to check on us often. My husband needed to go to work, so he ordered his meal and said I would wait for my friend. No problem. His lunch came just as she arrived. He'd ordered a trio salad which was huge. 3 scoops of tuna, chicken, and egg salad on top of greens plus a lovely basket of rolls and delicious lahvash crackers. Based on what we saw of the size of the portions being served around us, my friend and I decided to split a chicken Cobb salad from the daily specials menu. However, I didn't want onions and she didn't want bacon. No problem. They delivered the salad with a small ramekin of onions and one of chopped bacon as well as two of the balsamic dressing -- all on the side as requested. The salad was wonderful -- chicken perfectly grilled and sliced and just perfect to share. When you get great service with such a pleasing attitude, it just adds to the dining experience. We sat chatting and I told our server, as it was getting busier by then, if you need the table,just let us know. Her answer? No problem, enjoy your visit. And we did! And we tipped accordingly!

One of the best places to dine in the Aventura area! I had lunch here with my wife and one of her girlfriends during a working expedition for me and a shopping excursion for the ladies. I also was invited to lunch by one of my peers as a going away luncheon during my last week of employment. My choice as we were both at Aventura mall and he let me choose. When I selected 5th and Lex inside Nordstroms he smiled and said excellent choice. It was a bitter sweet lunch as we discussed our business interactions over the last 12 years, but a great lunch none the less! A varied menu offering many salads incorporating local produce and some exotic twists. Varied protein items to add to your salads or you can go full out Vegan and enjoy your favorites meatless dishes. During both my lunches here I tried 2 different types of their signatures salads and was very happy. Sandwiches of all varieties and local ethnic sandwiches, hot entrees and beverages plus your favorite wines. Service is top notch and friendly in a relaxed atmosphere. Prices are quite reasonable if you are paying or being treated!

a cheeseburger with onions and lettuce

hamburger is amazing and french fries delicious the service is good and the ambiance is good very quiet not much people we came for dinner.

Lunch with 6 lunch buddies at this Blommie's Cafe. We all ordered a variety of meals. The service is always great. They have really good yogurt soft serve ice cream. Some meals come with it. I ordered a soft omelet that came with a salad. It was a little over cooked even though I asked for it to be soft. I think it was a bit pricey too! $15. For an omelet? Oh well, Bloomingdales is pricey in general. Most of the girls enjoyed their meals. We always enjoy our lunches together.

Inside the Bloomingdales
Marina A.

Located inside the Bloomingdales this place used to be so good and I would come for lunch here at least once a month. Well it seems that the food just went down the hill or perhaps just our luck and the 3 dishes that we ordered weren't good. Grilled Salmon seemed like it was frozen for a million years, defrosted and then grilled with no seasoning and served so dry that even squeezed lemon didn't help. Key West chopped salad doesn't deserve such a beautiful name since it was so plain and unappetizing that no dressing could save it. Vegetarian stir fry was just ok, the noodles were slightly overcooked, the veggies too saggy. Should have gone to Cheesecake Factory or Bella Luna. Oh well no next time here.

Great lighting.
Patty G.

Good option for those who don't like the food court. Personally, I hate eating at the food court. This little cafe is endearing. The lighting is beautiful during lunch time. There are windows all around, letting in the light. The service was really good, our waitress was very attentive. We always had water in our glasses and our drinks were refilled without needing to ask. I had the grilled chicken wrap which was pretty tasty. Sweet potato fries were really good.

Check your to go orders before leaving. Very disappointing to find raw salmon instead of grilled when we got home.
Marina R.

Highly advise to always check your to go orders before leaving this restaurant. For the money spent on a simple Caesar salad with grilled salmon, one would expect to have the salmon fully cooked and not be raw inside. Thoroughly disappointed in finding basically a raw piece of fish when I got home.

We decided to stop by here for lunch the next day and Juan recommended the Cajun spice snapper sandwich, locally sourced, fresh, wild caught Key West, yellowtail snapper, creole remoulade, lettuce, tomato, citrus coleslaw, grilled lemon, and it was a 10 out of 10! . We also ordered the homemade guacamole with tri color corn chips. That was delicious as well. Before we were even served our food, carlos remembered us from the day before and recommended the fish sandwich as well. It might be the best and precious fish sandwich we've ever had. Go check out my pictures! Fish sandwich literally had to haul pieces of fish on it so I took one piece of fish and just eat it with squeezed lime on top with my husband eat the fish sandwich. It was definitely big enough for us to split. It was so good and fresh. We will be coming back here again tomorrow for it !!! It's located in the Aqualina resort.

Tucked in between the pools and the beach, you have the ability to be in the middle of everything here but feel completely separated and quiet as well. If you are thinking of your typical "at the pool" restaurant option this isn't it.

This review is based strictly on the drinks, service, and atmosphere, as we didn't eat here…read more We stopped by for drinks before a dinner reservation elsewhere, and the location is definitely a highlight. It's an outdoor beachfront bar with seating overlooking the ocean, and you can literally walk right from the restaurant area onto the beach. It's a great setup for grabbing a drink, enjoying the view, and hanging out before or after a day at the beach. We tried the sangria and margarita, and both were pretty good. They were slightly overpriced for what they were, but considering the beachfront location and the area, that's somewhat expected. Service started off really strong. The bartenders were friendly, accommodating, and attentive when we first arrived. Unfortunately, that changed toward the end of our visit. We were ready to leave and spent nearly 30 minutes trying to get our check, but couldn't seem to find anyone to close us out. Since we had another reservation to get to, that became pretty frustrating and was the main thing keeping this from being a 5-star experience. We didn't order food, so I can't speak to how it tasted, but everything coming out around us looked and smelled amazing. We actually wished we could have tried some of it, but already had dinner plans. Overall, the beachfront setting is hard to beat, the drinks were enjoyable, and the service was great until it was time to leave. I'd definitely come back, especially to try the food next time and enjoy some drinks with that ocean view.

We had a wonderful experience tonight celebrating my birthday and our 3 year wedding anniversary!…read moreThey treated us extremely well and the hospitality was fantastic. The sushi and other menu items were fresh and delicious. Very relaxed ambiance and fresh ocean air. Loved it!!
