We came here for a mid-week Spice lunch and were not disappointed! The Ritz feels like a beautiful cruise ship! We walked through the lobby to the restaurant, which is situated overlooking the Haulover inlet (far enough away from the nude beach so your meal is not ruined, LOL!). There is indoor and outdoor seating; both have great views. You can also sit at the bar. The vibe is upscale nautical. The server was great; friendly and just attentive enough! We opted to sit inside as the humidity level was near 100% and there were storm clouds brewing. If you opt to sit inside, bring a cover up as the AC is working very well here! During our meal, the usual afternoon storm arrived and provided a dramatic show, complete with theatrical lightning! We had the ceviche and watermelon feta salad to start. The ceviche was super fresh and beautifully tart. The watermelon on the salad was at peak ripeness! Next, we had the chipotle rubbed shrimp tacos - two tacos with two giant shrimp nestled inside alongside avocado. I did not partake of the cheeseburger, but Larry needed a nap when we got home, so I think it did it's job. The fries that came with it were excellent. I'm not a fan of flan - I dislike the texture - but the taste and presentation were beautiful. The sorbet was a surprising standout. They were out of blood orange, so I was offered mango or lime instead. I have a mango tree that fruits all summer and I am sick of mango at this point, so I opted for lime. It was unbelievably delicious! Tart, creamy even though it's dairy free, absolutely refreshing! In all, Artisan serves basic food executed very well in a beautiful setting with expert service. Well worth it! read more

We started off with valet, which was friendly and speedy a great first impression. Inside, we were seated pretty quickly and attended by Sean, Peerce, and Jackie. Lovely staff all around attentive, warm, and professional. The ambiance inside was on the quieter side and felt a bit stale, with not many people around, but still pleasant. We chose to sit outside for the much nicer view, which definitely elevated the experience. We decided to try the Miami Spice menu, honestly, that's the main reason we picked this spot and it turned out to be a great deal. From appetizers to dessert, everything was enjoyable. While there wasn't a standout "wow" moment with the food, there were no disappointments either just a solid, satisfying lunch. Outside of the Miami Spice pricing, the regular menu does lean on the higher side, so for us, this special menu made it well worth it. Overall, it was a nice afternoon out with good food, great service, and a beautiful view. read more

This place was fantastic! Low-key, small hotel, apartment style, easy and pleasant walk to the beach with towels, chair, and umbrella, as well as fabulous walking trail. Didn't hear any guests in the hotel, elevators worked and were fast. Gyn has new equipment and was clean and a nice place to workout. Pools! Loved it and will definitely return! read more

Great place for brunch...enjoyed the food and atmosphere for the holiday season! Service was prompt and the server was spot on.

Went for the Miami spice lunch menu and I think it's a great value, the service was exceptional. They have validated parking, but I just parked on the adjacent parking lot under the bridge, the only problem is that you have to walk all the way around the front and then make it all the way back to the Ritz Carlton area. but you save a ton of money. Otherwise just use the valet! You can never go wrong here, great place. read more

I really enjoyed my dinner at Artisan Beach House. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. To start, the mojito was one of the best in Miami. The fresh catch ceviche was fresh, a filling portion, and those plantain chips are delicious. My dessert was the crème brûlée and it was divine with fresh berries. I sat outside overlooking where the bay meets the ocean, and they had a great live singer. read more

So, so, SO beautiful! Came here with some friends and we were all blown away by the outdoor seating and view. If weather permits, definitely recommend that. For food, I had the chicken pesto sandwich which was delicious and very filling. A decent sized portion, if you will. For drinks, I'd recommend the Miami Sunrise, SOOOO Yummy! Staff and servers were very friendly and tended to us right away! Our waitress was really, really sweet and nice. Will definitely return! Heads up- Valet is $15 but they were really quick about getting our cars. read more

The first thing you notice about this place is the view. You can't beat it. Even with the wind blowing we were able to walk along the terrace while we waited for the rest of our group and just soaked in the view. Our server was super sweet and gave us recommendations from the menu. She was patient when some of our group got delayed and never hurried us, which we greatly appreciated. The menu isn't particularly big but there's something for everyone, including an impossible burger, which can be hard to find at such good quality. We ordered lots of different entrees and all were delicious. The sides available included regular fries, salad, fresh fruit, or my favorite...sweet potatoes fries (yummy)! Their standard burger was flavorful and juicy. Both the girls who ordered the poke bowl raved about it. The menu isn't particularly vegan friendly but it is vegetarian friendly. The desserts all sounded so good but we opted for the cheesecake...a solid choice! Beautiful view, friendly staff and good food...the perfect spot for Sunday brunch with the girls (and a perfect unplanned end to our bachelorette weekend). read more

Dined there twice during our stay: you can expect mediocre, overpriced food. Dishonest about and advertising "homemade" granola, when in fact serving some cardboard, cheap, mass produced product from Sysco, most likely. The meat in the Bahn mi sandwich was so tough , it was inedible. read more

The artisan beach house was a great scenic dining experince at the very upscale "Ritz-Carleton" Bal Harbour hotel. I went here to celebrate my birthday and the service and views of the harbour were excellent although it was rainy when we arrived. We started with the guacamole and chips and it was very fresh and tasteful. For the main course I had the churrasco steak that came with delicious yuca cut fries. I had seen the chocolate martini on yelp and wanted to try it myself and it was pretty good although it could have been stronger. For dessert we opted for the chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream which our server comped, since it was my birthday. It was on the smaller side, but very good. Overall I would return but hope they can expand the menu and bring back their brunch after COVID. read more

I absolutely love this place. This was my first time coming here. We really enjoyed the views of the water and the boats going by. I had the spicy margarita which was light and refreshing. My friend had the prosecco. Both drinks were incredible and paired nicely with our appetizers. We ordered the tuna tartare which was so fresh and delicious. The balance of the smooth avocado combined with the salty soy sauce and crunchy rice cracker was a dream. We also ordered the short ribs mac and cheese. It was so cheesy and had a nice crunch with the breadcrumbs. The short rib meat was succulent and it combined nicely with the cheese. I highly recommend this restaurant. We had Marissa as our server. She was very welcoming and made our experience extra special. This is a beautiful restaurant both inside and out. It is perfect for those on vacation as well as others who live locally. A great place to bring a date, friends, or family with a beautiful view of the water. read more

The view is terrific. Staff is friendly but slow. The first morning that I ate breakfast here the food was cold when it arrived. Eggs and bacon were good. The potatoes are so-so, pretty much the same standard as one would get at a Denny's--yet much more expensive, of course. It's convenient if staying in the hotel, but I would not recommend making a trip to dine here otherwise. read more

Nice restaurant on the water inside the Ritz Carlton Bal Harbor. Inside and outdoor seating with a delightful duo singing. Nice menu selection. We had the rib eye, hummus, and fish. All we're delicious. Service was shamefully slow but the fault lays with management. Full house and tremendously understaffed. Our poor waiter was running ragged. read more

Their restaurant delivers our needs with breakfast/lunch/dinner. Their service went beyond our expectations and made us feel at home. Its ambiance is perfect for a beach vibes romantic getaway. read more

Went to lunch with my son, had a good view, but the service and food were far less than expected. Ordered off of a very basic lunch menu. Food that came did not include what the menu clearly stated was part of the meal and the only reason I ordered that dish. When I brought it to their intention, they ignored it entirely. Rude. Won't be back. read more

A lovely visit to the Ritz Carlton during the holiday season. I was attending a champagne Gala but decided to meet a friend for dinner beforehand. Visited around 6pm just after the sunset, and dined in the patio. Started with a glass of white wine, while taking in the views. I chose the Canadian Salmon with togarashi, avocado yogurt, crispy potatoes, and arugula. I have to say all of these flavors meshed so well together. The salmon was cooked perfectly and was complemented by the cook avocado yogurt. This is a great place for an nice romantic dinner, with water views. read more

Went for a Mother's day late lunch/dinner celebration. The Artisan Beach House is inside the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Bal Harbor. This is a fancy and well served restaurant, ocean side, mostly visited by hotel guest and locals of the Bal Harbor/Surfside area. As previously noted the Artisan Beach House is ocean side so upon walking in, you can't help to notice the beautiful views of the ocean, pier and Haulover beach. Most tables are near the window but you can always reserve a special window just to make sure you get a site. There is also a small outdoor area to lounge. My Artisan meal: Mango Rum Runner- heavy Mango taste but wasn't thrilled thought it would have a more natural taste, It's a heavy fruity rum drink. $14 Butter Bread- buttered bread rolls, buttery but not enough flavor. Guacamole- hass avocado feta cheese, tortilla chips. Could use more flavor and more feta. $12 Lamb Chops- roasted eggplant baba ganoush, arugula, mint jus, tomato marmalade. delicious tender lamb. $43 Crab Cakes- Chayote and green mango slaw, piquillo sauce $18 Branzino-fish of the day, whole fish beautifully presented, light flavor. Charred Corn- Manchego cheese, jalapeno, lime. Good side, light. $8 Everything was beautifully presented of course but I felt like it needed more flavor on some items. The service is 5/5 of course at the Ritz, you can't expect less. Our waiter was too connected sometimes where you wished you had a little privacy but none-the-less, she did not skip a beat with her service and knowledge of the job. This is a high end restaurant and expect to pay hefty prices for food and mostly drinks at a Ritzy location by the sea. read more

This was my first Miami spice dinner of the year. My friend and I had the crispy Peruvian octopus, the burrata salad, braised short rib pappardelle, plantain crusted red snapper, the lemon cheesecake, and chocolate crunch torte. The octopus and pappardelle were amazing. And the chocolate torte was a good way to end the meal. Miami spice runs through September 30th, so I'm looking forward to a lot of good meals. read more

Excellent quality of food and preparation. Our five year old claimed these to be excellent fries . The burger was scrumptious. Easy to eat with one hand and nothing fell apart while eating it. The salmon and broccoli dish was also very very good. Service was amicable, the views were a plus and dessert was also well made. As a bonus, they have a cigar menu here, so if you're into that you can walk off to the section outside where they allow you to smoke and it's a beautiful place to enjoy a delicious cigar. Would come back for the burger and views. read more

Nice upscale service in a nice upscale hotel, that nonetheless sports a casual vibe, perhaps owing to its alfresco waterfront location. Mains and appetizers are delicious, but quite pricey, with mains ranging mostly from $30 to $50. Service is impeccable, but food can take a while to come, so make sure you are not in a rush. read more

Well inside the bubble of picky people paying lots of money to vacation, this kitchen delivers on the cuisine. Your correspondent only enjoyed a few dishes (ceviche, burrata salad, and a café latte) but, boy, were they good. In both expected and unexpected ways. Really good work. Decent views. Service is friendly and understated although one gets the sense that the servers are bracing for the blow from that inconsiderate and picky customer that is always just seconds away; I suspect that the worst thing about this place is the customers. A kind word and a smile while dining certainly seem to go a long way with the staff. read more

This place you go for the view! Food is ok a bit overpriced for what you get, but was worth the price for the view. We stopped for brunch and enjoyed the Bloody Mary and iced coffee! My husband had a n omelette and myself the breakfast burrito. Service was good but a bit slow for the small crowd that was there, however with Covid-19 I think everywhere is slow with smaller staffs. This is a beautiful place the very end of Haulover Park between Sunny isles and North Miami Beach and a great place to boat watch as they come in and out! read more

This place is awesome ! It is on the main floor of the Ritz Carlton Bal Harbour. There is indoor and ample outdoor seating. The decor is contemporary and kind of beachy but very chic. The staff here is very accommodating, friendly and warm. The drinks are good and the bartender gives a nice pour. We had the hummus plate with extra veggies. Delicious. It has fresh hummus topped with a little spicy harissa and a side of tzataki. Some pita and veggies. We also had the Cobb salad , a house salad with salmon and - whoops I can't recall the 3rd salad. Then we added sweet potato fries and they were yummy. If in the Bal Harbour area - check it out read more

This is a great restaurant but they were having an off night when we arrived. They had a large wedding reception to address and the bar tender did not show up that evening. We showed up early for a drink outside before dinner. After ordering at the bar, they said "sit anywhere". We found an empty table without any decorations or cutlery and this really threw them off. We had to ask for glasses (for water, silverware, napkins... all after the food arrived. read more

Restaurant is located within The Ritz Carlton. Walked in and the entire place was empty at first, but we were quickly greeted by a very kind women. She quickly sat us outside and brought us water and struck up good conversation. The views here are incredible of the beach while you relax outside. I started off with a Thyme Courivosier Sour, our waiter informed me it was one of their best. Not long after I received it I was in strong agreement with her and savored every last bit of it (considering they're 17$ each). Me and my father both ordered their Artisan Burgers which were VERY delicious. However it did take a good 40 minutes or so before we received them. Keep in mind the restaurant was completely empty besides us Burgers came with crispy onion strips on top which is a favorite touch of mine on any burger. Overall food was delicious, wait was a bit long, location is amazing, and service was fairly good. read more

wow, wow, wow. views, views, views!! i loved this place, everything about it was wonderful. The pleasant staff, the food, the service, the views and the food. I came for the Miami spice lunch menu and had the following, the starter of Tuscan Kale. It was fresh, looked amazingly presented on the plate and I enjoyed it immensely. This was followed by the amazing herb lemon chicken - I LOVED this, the chicken was seasoned beautifully and so moist and tasty. The sweet potatoe mash was to die for and oh!!!!! the brussel sprouts - divine. 10/10, a fabulous combination. After this my dessert was the key lime pie which was good but I have had better. I loved the fresh fruit that came with it, but was not a fan of the white baubles of cream/ meringue? I am not sure what it was to be honest, imo I think if it was replaced that with real whipped cream it would have improved the dish. Overall though fantastic. THE VIEWS HERE ARE STUNNING.... read more

Went here for dinner last night because it was one of the few places we could get a reservation on the water at sunset time so last minute. I'll start with the views. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. It's one of the few places in Miami that I've found on the water in which you can see both the ocean and bayside at the same time, making it the perfect spot for sunset. The views were perfection. For being at the Ritz and paying a pretty penny for dinner, I feel that the table setting could've been just a little fancier, but it was still nice! The food was pretty good. I had the chicken and my friend had the steak. She felt her steak could have been more seasoned and she had to add a dash of salt and pepper herself. I was concerned about the server's lack of knowledge regarding food allergies. I have a gluten allergy and when I asked what I could eat, he wasn't very knowledgeable which always makes me feel a little uncomfortable when trying to navigate through ordering. When it was time to order dessert, he told me he thought the brownies would be gluten free. Not because they use a special kind of flour, just because he thought that was typically a gluten free dessert. I expect more when going somewhere like this to dine. Hopefully this restaurant can help educate their staff better or maybe even clearly mark GF options on the menu, because that's always super helpful! :) read more

What a interesting experience. So we tried this place out during Miami spice and I was not to impressed. The restaurant does have a great view out into to the ocean and into haulaover sandbar but that about the best part of it. The menu sounded great the food was nothing out of this world and the service was beyond slow. Theresa was maybe 3 other tables being serviced and they took forever to bring the food and we waited a good 15 mins to find someone to bring the check. The humus app was ok and the quinoa salad was large but not amazing in taste. The lemon chicken did stand out a but I really wish I did not have to deal with the drum stick as this is not really kfc. read more

Generic Sysco/airport "food" and poor service not up to the usual Ritz standard at all: we ordered two cappuccinos and two bagels and they brought one bagel; after we asked for the other bagel, they brought that, but no coffee. The cappuccino was a mistake, well below coffee machine quality. The puffy "bagel" could be mistaken for one in the Midwest. WTF, Ritz? read more

I should have left right after reading the breakfast menu. Or maybe after trying to catch the barista's eye. The food is generic, no one cares, the only part of Ritz experience is price: ~$80 for two + toddler, gratuity included, negative gratuity unfortunately not an option. Nice view, nice interior design. read more

My girlfriend and I had an absolutely terrible experience at Artisan recently. We have dined there several times before seeing that we live next door and while the food and service has always been good this time around it was truly appalling. We dined at Artisan for Valentine's Day and like most other restaurants they had a prefixed menu. 1 choice of starter, 2 choices of second course (a soup and a salad), 2 choices of main course (veal and fish) and 1 choice of dessert. Since it was two of us, we literally tried everything on the menu. Our appetizer was a cheese plate that really looked like it was from Costco. The cheese wasn't good, it tasted like it had been out for most of the day. We continued on to our second course. The salad was soggy and the soup was cold (meant to be hot) The fish and veal were ok at best, but nothing to write home about. The dessert was inedible, and sour. In all with drinks and gratuity our meal cost $400, of course this would just fine if it was worth it. We dine out at least 3 times a week, and while I have had other bad meals before this was just totally unacceptable. So I did something I've never done before, I asked to speak to a manager about it. This was the worst part of the entire experience. Yasser Fuentes the director of restaurants came out to speak to us and I explained my disappointment, explained I lived next door and have dined here many times before but this evening it was truly inedible. All he did was say it was too bad and sent us on our way. This will be the last time I dine at The Artisan and will stop recommending it as a must go to place when friends come and visit. I would think twice before eating here. read more

This is cute little cafe with gorgeous views on the patio! I am so glad that they were open during pandemic . We had a lovely refreshing brunch at this place! They maybe a little understaffed at the bar right now but our server was warm and friendly! He gave us a lot of personal attention . During the this difficult time , a little warmth and empathy goes a long way . That coupled with socially distanced seating, gorgeous blue Atlantic in the background and amazing, fresh food is truly an awesome combo. I strongly recommend the Poke Bowl for those of you wanting to eat healthy without compromising the taste . Their burger is pretty dope too! All in all , we loved our experience eating here! read more

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. Never really heard much about it but when I was looking for a nice lunch restaurant to take my mom to during Miami spice. Artisan definitely caught my attention. The view is breathtaking. The service is great staff is very attentive and the food was really food. We had as an appetizer the ceviche I had the salmon with quinoa as an entree and my mom had the churrasco with fries all from the Miami spice menu. The salmon was delicious, the churrasco was a little spicy because of the sauce but still very good. Loved this place can't wait to go back and try other items in there menu. Ps. The Mango Cocktail is a MUST!! read more

Excellent restaurant with Ocean View. It's inside Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Bal Harbor. I visited this place on my 2nd anniversary with my wife. We got an amazing place to sit - we were right by the ocean and sound of waves made it more serene. We are vegetarians and our attendant (Mr. Francis) guided us very well to order the food. We got Quinoa Bowl, Charred Cauli - Florets and custom made penne pasta in marinara sauce with veggies. I would like to give a shout out to Mr. Francis who not only guided us to order food but also was up for a conversation about the beaches and restaurants in Miami Beach. Upon learning that it was our anniversary, he also gave us a complimentary dessert (blueberry cheesecake) which was amazing!! Definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to get away from all the chaos in south beach and enjoy great food, amazing people and excellent view! read more

GREAT PLACE TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER WITH GREAT FOOD! We had a great dinner 2020 Christmas Day! They had a set menu but we really came for the nostalgia of the ritz because we got married there in 2016. We had our wedding dinner at the beach house and it was perfecto. The set menu was all they were going to serve Christmas Day but we wanted something from the regular menu. After we told them that we said, " We would just have a drink and be on the way." The amazing manager Yasser came out and asked us what he could do we asked for two meals not on the set menu and they made them fresh for us. We are very grateful for the above and beyond service here. How amazing all the staff were. Thanks again for another memorable moment. Cheers to another year and many blessings to you all. Hope to be back soon! read more

We had breakfast credit thru booking with Amex. Even though it was free but the food was actually quite reasonably priced - $20ish steak entree at a ritz wasn't dramatic. The quality was also decent. It's a ritz in the us so there's no high expectations to begin with. We shared a pastry basket but I think a lot of places seemed to have difficulty grasping the concept of a pastry basket, like, it's called a basket for a reason. Otherwise everything was fin3 and mediocre. The total came out to be like $105 pre tip with like $8 orange juice and $12 French press. read more

Let's begin with a good. Beautiful view wonderful location. We ordered an old fashion which was excellent. I figured we order from the Miami spice menu were not very hungry and just wanted a small taste test for a few things. The appetizers were good and decent portions. The snapper was cooked at the correct temperature and was a great presentation. The short ribs relaxing to say the lease very little flavor and not much meat on the plate. For the lemon cheesecake my water with one lemon had more of a lemon flavor, The chocolate crunch is good, though it kind of reminded me of a cake from Whole Foods and Publix. not sure if they were short staffed or just not giving the same attention to the Miami spice menu. I will say that our server and the manager work very attentive. I would probably give this a second chance solely because of the service. read more

Beautiful room, what a gorgeous restaurant. We came to brunch on the late side so it did not seem to make sense to do the buffet, and instead chose a la carte. We were able to put together a very nice spread. I was a big fan of the eggs Benedict, it was made with turkey which was a nice twist and new for me. The potatoes on the side blew it out of the park - so good! Their fries were also amazing. We also ordered ceviche, avocado toast, steak and eggs, and oysters. All of the staff was extremely friendly and the food was tasty. I would certainly recommend eating here if you were staying on property. read more
