    astra burger
    Andrea C.

    Came here for brunch and never coming back... Starting off with the service: POOR. It was slow, the servers were rude and lost, and the restaurant wasnt even packed. Food took 30 minutes to come out. Saw them preparing the bottomless Mimosas, it was a 85/15 ratio of juice to champagne. And the juice had so much pulp it wouldnt leave the jar cause the hole was clogged. The Brunch menu has pretty affordable plates but I guess you get what you pay for. The "Mama's Meatballs" are legit two sad meatballs with tortillas, the "Kabobs" were a singular kabob of the meat choice you ordered. Even the sliders (two btw) were the size of a toddler's fist. I had the Astra burger from their regular menu and it was... okay. Someone in our table had the Crab Benedict and it still had the egg shells in it. YUCK! We were charged for a dish that never came after specifically telling the waiter to cancel it (it was taking too long, we had already finished while the person was STILL waiting for their food) Dont get fooled by the "Rooftop views" they claim to offer. Yea you get a real good view of the empty lots and construction next door. I would honestly skip this place at all costs. You can have much tastier food, better service abd vibes somewhere else.

    I really enjoyed Astra, the vibes were really upbeat and the DJ helped create a really serene environment with the rooftop views. The food was something you would get fine dining but the DJ and the outdoor patio gave more of a brunch feeling. The staff was really nice and accommodating. If you're looking for a nice rooftop in the Wynwood area I would definitely recommend Astra to anyone considering it.

    had a good experience. The rooftop vibe is really nice, and since it was a beautiful day out, that definitely added to the ambiance. It was pretty empty when we arrived, which was nice, but there was no hostess, so us and another group were a little confused about where to go. We ended up walking around until we found someone to help us. Once we were seated, everything went smoothly. Service was good after that initial confusion. We ordered the red snapper and it was amazing, easily the highlight of the meal. The grilled cheese was just okay and not our favorite. The beef souvlaki was decent as well. Overall, it's a nice rooftop spot with good food and a great vibe. I would definitely return, especially on a nice day.

    Rude staff with weird vibes, super pretentious customer base. Rooftop view and vibes aren't even good. I would skip.

    Poor service, came in a group, and was forced to pay more than what I ordered to split the check because they can't split it accordingly. Would never come back.

    Awesome outside patio with views! Great happy hour deals! Berry Margarita was tasty! I also had a Paloma which was very strong. The saffron rice with the steak kebab was very dry/hard. The Astra plate was an interesting combination, some chips were soggy. Would not recommend the astra plate.

    Astra has good ambiance awesome view. The service was fine and i haven't gone for food. But I would definitely want to come back to try some for sure. The drinks are definitely great and nice to Come with some friends. The hookah was for was way too over priced so I won't come for that.

    The ambiance is fire. Very cutesy. The drinks were great. Our waiter was really nice. My steak just taste like meat. No flavor at all. My asparagus taste like burnt grill. The friend snapper and mash potatoes were amazing. Very tasty.

    Came here for a night out. My bartender was very nice and easygoing when i ordered a mocktail (he even made it really pretty). The skyline view is stunning. You have to come for at least drinks and sit and admire the view of our beautiful city. I cant comment on the food because we didnt eat. I believe they expanded because it's bigger than i remembered. There is now a dj booth area in the back to dance. Great times here.

    Worst brunch experience I've ever had. I don't even think I can call it brunch because the menu had nothing that had to do with brunch. I'm just going to list everything that went wrong. -Our reservation was at 12. In the photo attached you can see we received our appetizer at 1:22 -Kept being told we had a 2 hour limit even though our food took over an hour to arrive and they kept us sitting there 4 hours -Never made it clear on the website or booking site that there was a pre fixed menu. You would think they would have it together if there was such a small and limited menu. -Reservation was at 12 and we left at 3:50 -Waited an hour for main course after appetizers (photos with time stamps attached) -Had to get up and grab a water pitcher from the server station to fill our own waters because it was 91 degrees in Miami and we were very thirsty -Server took forever to take our orders and never asked if we needed another round of drinks or more water -Filet minion was well done after we asked for them medium rare and came sitting on 2 sticks of asparagus - no other sides -We even asked for dessert to go because we had already been there almost 4 hours, and the order was wrong. I was looking forward to the creme brûlée and that was the one dessert we did not receive -Witnessed the manager telling another customer who had been waiting to "retírese" -Also how does a place serve brunch but no coffee? We were offered an espresso martini but there was no coffee... It's insane because I work in the restaurant industry and I know how it is but this place didn't even look that crowded and the horrific service we got was unacceptable. I wanted to make this a nice and positive experience for Mother's Day but it turned into a nightmare. Just one thing after the other. I hope they can get some new management and maybe train their servers so this doesn't happen again.

    Astra to the Moon... very beautifully pink. I remember when they first opened in 2019! It was such a thing with that vibey rooftop . My recent visit was on Sunday for the most amazing sunset, the light breeze, amazing music and Greek food perfect with a Wynwood skyline and a rose-hued atmosphere ! Thank you Astra!

    Loved the views, the food and the service! It was such a great experience to take a friend out their first time in Miami, and thankfully Astra did it right! The food was so good so many options I wanted to choose from, from meat chicken and seafood. The prices were high but normal for the area. The drinks were strong and delicious! Full bar! I loved the views of wynwood walls and downtown Miami and the Dj was playing music all night. This is definitely not to take a family out with kids or a first date because it is loud! It's comfortable seating and the service was great fast and attentive! Thank you Astra!

We called them to let them know we were running a little late and they were happy to hold our reservation for a few more minutes and it was great because this restaurant does get packed. Service is attentive and friendly... where they lost me was actually the quality of the dishes. Greek salad... was very sad. Overly ripped tomatoes, almost spoiled. Fish of the day sandwich (gyro style) was bland. It needed seasoning. NOT Good. Grouper from their specials... also flavorless. It comes over orzo which was overcooked. (Gummy)... and so on. I don't often have to write bad reviews but in this case I feel it is necessary. Way overrated. Way overpriced for the quality. Definitely not a restaurant I would recommend to anyone.

Even after paying, the staff continued to make sure we had water and asked if we needed anything else. This small gesture meant a lot. Sufrat has a great happy hour menu that ends at 6 PM. I tried the Moroccan Mojito, which was so refreshing. To eat, we tried the Shawarma Sushi and $1 chicken wing. The Shawarma Sushi name can be a bit misleading. It a wrap that was cut in form of sushi. It was good. I was hesitant about ordering chicken wings but I'm so glad we did because they were so delicious and crispy. They may have been the best chicken wing I've had. The service was excellent. I accidentally dropped my cocktail and they immediately cleaned it up and moved us to another clean table. I apologized for dropping it but not once did they made me feel bad about it. Instead, one of the staff stated it was an indication of having a great time. They also replaced my drink at no extra cost. A guy, who I assumed was the manager or owner, also passed by our table and ensured we were enjoying our time. Our server mistakenly brought me the wrong drink that I ordered, but I did not mind it because I actually loved the Moroccan Mojito and instead ordered another one. I also loved how they have copper cups because it makes water taste so much better. Their attention to small details like that makes the difference. Overall, I felt so welcomed and definitely have to return for more chicken wings.

We ordered the beef kabobs, which were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the ribeye steak was a major disappointment.

That said, we would still recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere, service, and many of the other menu items -- just skip the steaks.

For context, I worked in fine dining in New York and Miami for almost 20 years, so I notice the details immediately, hospitality, management presence, the energy of a room. You can usually tell pretty quickly what kind of operation you're dealing with. We were a party of five. I arrived with my four-year-old son and was greeted warmly by the hostess. That warmth ended instantly. Standing directly behind her were two managers in suits blocking the main entrance. Both looked straight at me and my child and said absolutely nothing. No hello, no smile, no acknowledgment. Anyone in hospitality knows that moment sets the tone. As an Arab woman who grew up around a culture where hospitality is everything, it was already a bad sign. We were seated outside and the vibe stayed cold. Unfortunately, the food matched it. We ordered a lot because I genuinely wanted to give the kitchen a fair shot. I grew up eating Lebanese food and what stood out most was the lack of soul. Everything felt flat, like it needed salt, lemon, brightness, that warm Mediterranean seasoning Lebanese food is known for. The tabouli was especially shocking. A $20+ tabouli with no bulgur that was so roughly chopped it was basically whole parsley leaves and slices of onion. Any Lebanese auntie would die at the sight of it. At one point I asked our server if they had harissa or any kind of spicy sauce. She said the only option was Sriracha. In a Lebanese restaurant that charges $18 for a tablespoon of hummus. An Asian chili sauce as the only option. What made it even stranger is that harissa is listed on multiple dishes on the menu, so it clearly exists somewhere in the building. I asked for the Sriracha anyway out of desperation for flavor. It never came. Same with ketchup for my toddler's fries, it took three requests. Throughout the meal I walked around the restaurant several times taking my son to the bathroom, looking around the space, even going upstairs to the lounge. Not a single person acknowledged us. Not a host, not a server, not a manager. The bar is right by the entrance and every time we looked over at the bartender and bar manager, just blank stares. At one point we were clearly standing there confused looking for the bathroom in an empty restaurant and still had to say "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" Wild. Later I walked up to the bar myself to ask if they carried mezcal. After dinner I went back to order one. Same energy--zero warmth, zero engagement. And this is with an automatic 20% gratuity already on the bill. The mezcal was a $25 two-ounce pour and I still had to ask for an orange slice garnish because no one offered it. Empty bar, two people behind it, and I still had to request it. Also worth noting, our reservation was at 5:45pm and the restaurant was practically empty. Yet I didn't see a single manager walking the floor, greeting tables, or checking on guests. I had talked this place up to my party because I'd been so curious about it for years, and it was honestly a huge letdown. If you know Lebanese food and understand Middle Eastern warmth and hospitality, this probably isn't the place for you. Expect cold, almost nonexistent hospitality and food that feels stripped of the soul that makes Lebanese cuisine special. The space is beautiful. I'll give them that. Everything else felt like a very on-brand Miami disappointment, what happens when you give people a beautiful restaurant, expensive food, automatic gratuity, and no leadership. From the lack of authenticity and attention to detail, it's hard to believe anyone truly Lebanese is behind this operation. If anything, it feels more like a polished money grab. Honestly, it might have been less jarring if they just called themselves "Mediterranean" like so many other places in this city. But if you're going to call yourself a Lebanese restaurant, the culture and hospitality should actually be there.

During our last visit, an expensive black Prada bag disappeared inside the restaurant. At first, the General Manager, CECILIA , confirmed that we arrived with the bag and stated they were reviewing all camera footage. However, despite multiple requests, we were never shown the arrival footage or provided clear evidence proving what happened to the bag. The communication became increasingly contradictory, and instead of transparency and professional assistance, we were eventually accused of acting "fraudulently" and formally trespassed from the property. What shocked us most was not only the disappearance of a valuable personal item, but the way loyal customers were treated afterward: no transparency, no proper cooperation, no accountability, and accusations without clear proof. We remained respectful throughout the entire process and simply asked for clear confirmation regarding the footage. Instead, the situation escalated into accusations and threats of trespassing. If personal belongings can disappear inside a restaurant and management responds this way, guests should seriously think twice before leaving valuables there. At this point, we sincerely hope the restaurant owner or upper management reviews this situation carefully, conducts a proper internal investigation into how this matter was handled, and contacts us directly in hopes of reaching a fair resolution regarding both the significant financial loss and the emotional distress we experienced as a result of this situation and the unfounded accusations made against us. We are still open to direct communication with the restaurant owner or upper management in hopes of resolving this situation professionally and fairly.

We were whisked inside to the intimate, dimly lit interior with a DJ table tastefully tucked away in the back of the space. Service was welcoming but overall, not quite as warm and attentive as I've experienced at other places in town. We started off with the Turkish Manti Dumplings, which were the standout of the night. The complexity yet restraint of flavor, balancing indescribable buttery, roasted, earthy notes with a touch of umami and subtle tanginess from the yogurt. The Mezze Sampler was a nice option for trying three of the dips. All very tasty, but I've had slightly better elsewhere. The Sweet Jeweled rice was the other standout with flavor and textural variety that made each bite pop. I found the Roasted Brussels Sprouts undercooked and lacking the same level of flavor as the other plates. The weakest dish of the evening. The Grilled Whole Bronzino got top marks from the meat eaters at the table. Overall, 4/5 stars for a delicious meal but with tough competition around town limiting my ability to hit that 5.

    I returned to this restaurant after a few years (previous review below) - and it's still so great!…read more This time around to my surprise they expanded - I was introduced to a new floor plan, decor, and staff, all were incredible! The restaurant is now two floors, has different dining seating, and is beautifully decorated, which makes you feel like you've been transported to Greece. The food was a hit this time around as well- I especially enjoyed the moussaka!

    Meraki is a beautiful restaurant with truly authentic and delicious Greek food! And I'm Greek, so…read moreyou can take my word for it ;) While it may seem slightly off the beaten path right off Flagler, it's very conveniently located by the Knight Center metro stop and a very easy walk from the bridge. Also, the atmosphere they've created both indoors and outdoors really draws you in: beautiful foliage, gorgeous decor, and inviting decor. They play amazing Greek music to set the mood at a very reasonable volume so you can still hear your party. I've been for lunch during Miami spice and recently for dinner. Everything I've had was delicious with tons of flavor and huge portions. Both times I took enough leftovers for another meal! I especially love their zucchini fritters and their spread plate. All their spreads are so fresh and flavorful but their hummus especially was soo good. My husband and I shared the meat platter for two for dinner and enjoyed everything on it - the loukaniko was especially delicious! For dessert, you can't miss the galatoboureko, a sweet custard dessert with the flaky phyllo dough you know and love from baklava. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend for a lunch date or dinner date and it's super versatile: great for friends, families or romantic dates. Don't miss this beautiful restaurant in downtown!

    What a great find! We were in the area and searched Yelp. This location popped up…read more We were there during happy hour and enjoyed the outdoor patio. The happy hour menu was fantastic with all $5 plates. We ordered drinks and a couple items. Then ordered more. Awesome tasting food as well as the service. There is a parking garage directly connected and the restaurant does add 20% service tip. This spot is now in our favorites list. Make sure you stop by and give them a try. Enjoy!

    Motek is easily one of my favorite restaurants! Every meal I've had there has been incredible, but…read morethere are a few dishes that keep me coming back. The crispy cauliflower appetizer is an absolute must-order, and their warm pita with tzatziki is so fresh and flavorful that I could honestly eat it on its own. My favorite entrée is the salmon with the lemon potatoes--it's cooked perfectly every time, and the lemon potatoes are absolutely divine. To top it all off, their gelato is the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The only thing I miss is their coffee menu. They used to have more coffee options, and I was disappointed to see that they've narrowed it down to just Turkish coffee. I would love to see some of the other coffee drinks make a comeback. Even so, the food is consistently amazing, the atmosphere is beautiful, and Motek is still a place I'll happily recommend to anyone looking for a delicious meal.
