Came to the new Bagatelle Miami River location for a work holiday dinner and had such a great experience. We were a group of nine and arrived pretty early around 8 p.m., when the restaurant was still fairly quiet. It definitely starts off more as a fine dining experience, with the entertainment picking up closer to 9 p.m. when a singer with a guitar and a small band began moving around the room. As the night went on, the lights started flashing and the party vibe really kicked in. If you're looking for more of that signature Bagatelle party energy, I'd recommend arriving closer to 10 p.m. The ambiance was top tier and very Miami. We had beautiful water views along with the skyline in the background, which made the setting even better. Everything felt upscale but fun at the same time. The food was amazing across the board. The ceviche was one of the table favorites and definitely a must order. I also loved the truffle pizza and the truffle ravioli side, which were both incredible. The lamb chops were great as well. The only miss for us was the stuffed potato truffle appetizer, which ended up being everyone's least favorite and something I could have skipped. Our waiter Yuri was fantastic. He was very attentive, constantly checking on us and refilling our water and drinks. The service really elevated the entire experience. Overall, Bagatelle Miami River delivered great food, beautiful views, amazing service, and the perfect balance between fine dining and party vibes. I would definitely come back. read more

This place was a perfect way to celebrate my birthday. I had a large party and they handled that perfectly. The service was attentive and friendly. Food was all great and the service had great suggestions. Atmosphere was so fun with the dj and dancing on tables and performers. Definitely a great place to celebrate! The only complaints was how long we had to wait to get seated. They will not seat you unless the full party is there. read more

Omg one of the worst experiences ever. Went for a bachelorette because of all the TikTok reviews and I've never had worse food and drink in my life. No one at the table touched it. The cocktails were also just as bad. Best part is it was like $700 for food no one ate/ was inedible. Tried ordering one salad off the menu to be told they don't have that anymore ? Said they'd give me a Cesar instead and please see the "Cesar salad" in the photo. It was a head of rusty looking lettuce w slice of sweaty cheese ontop. The roots were still attached and dirty looking bright red, the lettuce was browning the entire thing looked gross. read more

Why I'll go back: High energy entertainment that makes your meal an experience! You HAVE to order: the lamb chops Tony's Tip: Bagatelle is a decent sized restaurant, but it does book up. So I wouldn't bank of snagging a table last minute. Bagatelle always knows how to bring it! We've been to five of their locations and few restaurants throw a party like this team. Whether you're a couple or out as a big group, you'll feel like you're in the middle of the action, with dancing waiters, costumed performers, and plenty of fire-breathing champagne bottles hitting the floor, all with the backdrop of a great DJ. The food is very good, and we've had plenty of dishes that were outstanding. On our latest visit, our group of six did the lamb chops and a large order of bone-in ribeye to share, plus a couple of salads and a bunch of sides. We liked all of them, with the standouts being the burrata + roma tomato salad (so fresh), the lamb chops (tender, and the yogurt sauce is a great compliment), and the puffed potatoes (very flavorful). Add in a bottle of champagne, a round of cocktails, and a bottle of wine, and $475 per couple with a healthy tip was a "reasonable" bill when you consider that we also had "front row" entertainment that included a phenomenal Latin guitarist. I'll note we were seated right away for an 8:45 rezzie and our server managed our table well, with drinks and courses flowing evenly. We were down for Art Basel and everyone agreed we'd out this on the list again for one of our nights out. Book early, and enjoy the party! read more

Came here with a group of friends for my birthday--the vibe was definitely on point. There's a DJ, the crowd is upscale and dressed to impress, and the space feels lively without being chaotic. Great place if you're into a scene. Service was solid and we ordered a spread of apps and entrees to share. The ravioli was the standout--super flavorful and well done. The steak and whole fish came with a bit of tableside flair (always fun), but honestly, the flavor didn't really match the presentation. All in all, it's a decent choice for a group dinner or celebration if you care more about atmosphere than standout food. Stylish, fun-ish, but a little underwhelming. read more

The woodfire octopus was so good, it was a good portion size and very tender. Flavorful! I also ordered a side of mashed potatoes - size is good for two. It was a Miami Vice decor meets modern. They're known for their dinner parties, they had a live DJ when we dined- this was on a Wednesday night. They have a professional photographer taking your pictures for $35 with a frame. They did take awhile to drop the bill off but overall attentive waiters and staff read more

I've never felt so disrespected at a restaurant. At Bagatelle Miami Beach, our server Ben H. was rude from the moment we sat down for a birthday celebration. The manager dismissed our concerns and handled everything in a confrontational, public way. My drink was forgotten, then I was told I never ordered it. They charged for late drinks, missing meals, and shots we didn't ask for. The lack of professionalism and accountability ruined what should have been a special night. read more

Reprehensible service. It took nearly 45 minutes - on a night that was not particularly busy - to receive a single drink and more than an hour to receive a single dish. Upon informing management of this, nothing was done to remedy the situation. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Very fun dinner spot on south beach! We arrived little earlier than our reservation so we went straight to the bar. I ordered an espresso martini and dare I say it was one of the best ones I've ever had. I ended up ordering two that night! Our servers were so nice and attentive to our table they made sure to put our order in before the party started and kept coming by to check on us. We ordered the Pain piccia soufflé à la truffe and it was so good. My favorite bite of the night. The order is on the small side so if you're with a large group definitely order two. For my main entree I ordered the steak with fries. read more

This place is a partayyy! Do not come here if you're expecting a normal fancy sit down dinner -- we were seated for only a few minutes total and the rest of the time we were standing up and dancing! This is the perfect place to come for a birthday party or bachelorette party. I would recommend getting a late reservation because the party starts at around 10. Wouldn't necessarily come here for the food. The portions are so incredibly tiny -- think 3 pieces of pasta on a plate. But we came late night after a pregame with snacks so it worked out fine. Also warning -- I got there 25 minutes late with my party of 10 and they had given away our table. No text or call so I would really recommend getting there on time. We had to fight to get seated. read more

I can only speak for the night life, which gets pretty wild. Dancing on the thin panel connecting the booths in the dining area seems both dangerous and entertaining to watch at the same time. The DJ is good, the bar service is prompt and the vibes are fun. The photographer will go around and take your picture and frame it for $30, which isn't too much more expensive than the drinks. It's not uncommon to roll up here only to see Lambos and Ferraris parked out front. read more

I was visiting for my bachelorette party and this place did not disappoint. The manager made sure we had a good time and was fun all around! The food was good no complaints, we got the steak in the Bronzino, which I think we're pretty good choices. What I loved about this place over the other ones we had been to, is how much the servers love their job. Each time the music would start they would act as if it was their first time doing it. Loved the energy. They never got annoyed or overwhelmed or tired dealing with the people around them. And I'll be honest there were definitely a lot of drunk people. Thank you for an amazing time Fabio! read more

Bagatelle - Miami - French Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Nothing really good, though all edible. Heavy on pour-ons. Zucchini florets for example -- don't expect anything Venetian -- were not only bland but mostly air when you bite into the puff. Where (what?) is the filling? Tuna tartare was drowned by a sauce such that the delicate tuna was overwhelmed. The sea bass entree was oddly plated - the fish cut into small bites in a small bowl amidst hints of ratatouille. The only problem is that it was undercooked to the point of gelatinous. Lamb chops arrived swimming in brown sauce; they had to be sent back to be "dried off." My 3 gamberi were small but well grilled; unfortunately they had little of their own flavor and were amidst what looked like a chili oil sauce that wasn't at all spicy and in any case detracted, not added. Best piece of food was the interesting l, strongly-flavored onion bread accompanying the sea bass bits in the cereal bowl. Not sure why they thought these two flavors - strong onion bread like an Indian Kulcha and undercooked sea bass - went together but the bread was delicious. Pastry chef,go! Let me just say, despite the food (and wine, but that's another story), the place is packed by good looking people loving the driving beat, preventing conversation (the 'wooos!' were enough by themselves). Whistle blowing and napkin waving starts at 930. That's why they go. read more

we just loved it, my girl especially, we sat at the bar, on the end, there was dude who was a little smothering, but no worries, he backed off lol , the food was great, the crudo tuna, the bread, the sea bass, just great, and the dancing, well, we moved into the dining and joined the fray, what a blast, good there were lots of girls, so a kinder lot, they let us edge in, good times at Bagatelle! read more

One of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. Hostess wouldn't seat us until the entire party arrived, even though the restaurant was COMPLETELY EMPTY. Once seated, service was slow and taking the order for our table of eight took forever. FYI, they don't have a special Miami Spice menu, they just give you three courses from the regular menu for $60, which is a complete ripoff. Most of the main entrees are meant to be shared and they make you share an entree with someone, even for Miami Spice. So you are getting half an entree for $60 each person! Food: my Riviera salad was the only good thing I had. It was mainly avocados with some totally undercooked lentils and some greens with a tasty raspberry vinaigrette. Then it was downhill from there. Since they were making us share entrees, I asked the server if he could have the kitchen just split the lobster pasta onto two plates, he said he would do it himself table side. And by the time he took 10 minutes to scoop out the lobster meat and split the pasta onto two plates, the food was entirely and utterly COLD! I'm starving, so I finally bite into my food to find the lobster absolutely chewy and overcooked. Not to mention all I got was two lousy tiny pieces. The pasta was completely tasteless, lacking any flavor whatsoever, no salt, no sweetness from the sauce, absolutely 100 percent bland and inedible. A five year old can make better pasta. All three of us at my end of the table agreed the pasta was atrocious. For dessert, I ordered the strawberry sorbet. You would think it's impossible to mess up sorbet. You would be wrong. They messed up the sorbet - served frozen solid and tasting like it had acquired scents from other foods in the freezer. Oh but the nightmare doesn't end there - they inform us they cannot split the check or bring separate checks. They have to bring one big bill for our party of eight and will not accept more than three credit cards or forms of payment, meaning they wouldn't even let one person pay by cash. Yep! They like to make their customers' lives as miserable as possible here. They charged almost 22% gratuity, which is excessive. We had to Zelle each other and figure out a way to make three credit cards work. They will also rip you off with valet. $30!!! And then they have the audacity to charge an undisclosed convenience fee of almost $4 on top of that - fee for what!?!!? - isn't that what the $30 is for??? Plus tip and I almost paid $40 for two hours. Are they running a business here - meant to accommodate their paying customers - or are they running a shit show? The answer is shit show, my friends, they are running a complete shit show! Run away from this place, don't waste your money like I did. I wish I could get my money back. Literally any place else in Miami or Miami Beach will have better food. No ambiance due to the loud music played by the DJ. Only saving grace was a few of the wait staff who warmed up to us and provided good service. read more

Dinner, dancing, a sax man....Bagatelle was so fun! The service was unmatched. From taking care of our table on the ground to pulling us up to dance in our seats...our server made sure we had a great time. Everything was a must try but if I could pick one it would be the Piccia à la Truffe de Saison. Delicious. It's cut into 4 pieces so if you have a bigger group, I definitely recommend getting more than one because you won't want to share. The steak was excellent and came with fries but I swapped it out for the mash potatoes. The fish croquetas were also good! While I didn't try the noodle dish, most of the table chose that option and there weren't any leftovers. If you need somewhere to go that has dinner and dancing, Bagatelle is a great choice. read more

Bagatelle - Miami - French Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

This is such a fun place to visit if you want the touristy Miami experience. The ambience is amazing, and the service was super welcoming! I went with my family to take advantage of Miami Spice menu. Keep in mind the cut off is at 8:45pm. So make sure you make an early reservation. Also another disclaimer is that most of the appetizers and entrees are shareable so if someone in your party is not willing to share that dish, then you have to pick something else. The food was okay. Nothing to go back to. I did like their truffle ravioli and chocolate pizza. We also tried the lobster pasta, eggplant parm appetizer, ceviche and cod fish fritters. read more

Food was VERY BAD. The place looks unimpressive. Music was not good either ... not that much of a party.

ARINA IS THE BEST WAITRESS EVER. she was so prompt and also so much fun. This made our night and experience so fun.

We got scammed here. Was part of a large bachelorette party. Many of us don't drink. Throughout the meal the service was great, the food was good enough, and the venue was fun. At some point in the night, 20 tequila shots arrived. We were a bit confused because there were only 15 in our party, and only 3 who drank tequila, but we accepted the shots as (what we assumed was) a complementary gift from the staff. Many were left untouched, so many that the waiter himself actually took one. When the bill came, we were charged $400 for these shots. We tried to dispute this, but the waiter insisted "some girl in red" had ordered them. We were all wearing black and the bride was wearing white. When he realized, he shifted the blame to a sober member of our group, and once he realized that was implausible, blamed a third. We called the manager over who screamed at the bride, and we decided to pay the extra $35 per person scam because it was not worth ruining the bride's night. I'm sure they scam many customers similarly. We spent over $4000 as is. They just wanted more out of us. read more

One of the best dining experiences in Miami! I really enjoyed the way the restaurant is set up. You have the DJ booth right out in the open in front of the dining room. Then there's a performer with a trumpet that plays occasionally. Overall such a fun time and we all loved the food! I ordered their octopus and mashed potatoes- octopus was cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes were light, fluffy, and buttery. Cocktails were delicious as well. Can't wait to go back! read more

Do not recommended. Service was AWFUL. Drink was spilled on me twice in addition to having a knife then dropped on me. We were there for a bachelorette, and they did not ask for our drink orders until 45 minutes later after sitting. The waiter was extremely rude and told us we could only order "family style" and were unable to order our own entrees. Will not come back here. read more

Miami spice dinner Friday night was lit ! The food was great and the dessert was delicious ! I highly recommend the octopus and the steak

Came here on Saturday party of 6. Really nice decor, super friendly & attentive staff, overall great service. Why 4 stars? Well the prices are aggressive. $75 "to share" lamb chops, for example, were 3 tiny baby chops on a plate. I understand the up charge is for the entertainment & vibes but there comes a point when it becomes unsavory. Either way we had a fun night dancing after dinner. I would recommend coming here for a special occasion but not on a regular basis. read more

I don't like to write negative reviews, but my friend's birthday party was completely ruined by this place. Horrible service. We were not attended for about 25 minutes once arriving. The music is blaring the whole time you are there, which probably explains why the waiter got everyone's order wrong. I told two people, our waiter and another server that our orders were incorrect and they did not do anything about it. Simply just avoided the table the rest of the night. My friends ordered 2 more drinks once our food had arrived the waiter said ok but they never came. He just brought the check in which tip was already included. This place is a joke. I hope the new river location is better. There are so many other amazing restaurants in the area. do not waste your time here. Wish I read the reviews before we made the reservation. Not to mention the food really wasn't that good, neither were the drinks. So over hyped. read more

Shamefully huge disappointment. I should've read the yelp reviews before I went. It was while sitting at the table I started reading the yelp reviews and see that they have 2 1/2 stars. I was really surprised to see that. But my surprise became a reality once the food started being served. We ordered $750 worth of caviar. It was not served in the customary way caviar is normally served. I actually wanted to mix it with avocado which I thought was very weird and very on French. The special was fettuccine and lobster. It was $135 per person. Two of us ordered it. We envisioned this would be fettuccine and the cream sauce with the lobster meat. The meal was prepared tableside. They brought out two lobsters for each station to prepare the meal. However the only lobster meat that was mixed in with our fettuccine was the claw meat. Not the tail. Repeat not the tail. They brought the tails out for display But none of the meat went into the pasta. There was enough pasta to feed a table of four on each plate. It had a red sauce and was rather spicy. Again nothing French at all. For dessert I ordered the chocolate soufflé. Again nothing about this was French. It was baked in what I would think was a pie dish and turned upside down and had chocolate syrup poured on top of it. This alleged chocolate soufflé was hard around the edges like a cake would be and not soft or moist on the sides nor on the inside like you would expect from, a Sioufle. This was not a soufflé by any stretch of the imagination. The restaurant itself is rather attractive and Decour. The service was very good. I think the conflict just exist in the kitchen with the chefs. I believe they're all clueless as to what French cuisine is. But if they're paddling to the Miami Beach crowd that are all from South America and this is far as they've reached they are probably absolutely clueless to French cuisine. Having spent $1800 for a party of four, we were greeted to $40 valet parking out front. This is valet parking controlled by the restaurant. So they're going to get a little more cash out of you before you walk out the door. This place is highly overrated and it's one that they will never see another dollar from us again. If you want French cuisine don't go here. I don't know what to call it. Oh yeah one more thing. They're catch of the day is Racino. I'm really curious who caught that fish and was able to get it here in Miami on the same day. read more

Overall, we had a nice experience. The restaurant was easy to make a reservation with. The service was great, and everyone was very attentive. The food was delicious and the recommendations made to us were delightful. We enjoyed both apps very much, and the Lobster Fettuccine (which was a great portion for two). My reason for the 3 stars, is the fact that you are only allowed to be seated for two hours. Three minutes before our 2 hour mark, we were told our time was up and that we needed to pay. I find that to be very unpleasant. It's not pleasant to be timed and rushed to have to exit a restaurant where you're clearly paying a good amount of money to then be "kicked out" of your table. It honestly left a sour taste in my mouth about returning here because of that. read more

Bagatelle - Miami - Don Perrion - French Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

We used to go to bagatelle in the previous location, so we decided to give this one a try during Miami Spice. Surprisingly you could choose almost any of the items from the menu for the 3 course affair (some dishes are meant for two or four.) Great !!! The place is very nice, same design as the previous Tatel with a few retouches. It is really weird that they have 2 bars very close to each other. The service was good in general. The sommelier tried to sell us a bottle of wine 4 times over the price that the one we choose. The server was nice and communicative , but did not seem very motivated for work. He disappeared in the middle of the dinner, but the runner picked up the slack very well. We had a cocktails too, they were good, but over priced for what they were.($25) . The food was good. I like that they have the regular dishes with a very Interesting twist and I really appreciate that. Everything tasted good, the steak, the octopus, the carpaccio , the lamb, the crepes, and the tiramisu variation. I just think they overdid it on sauces -- some dishes had the cooking sauce from the pan plus a different sauce on the side. Actually the octopus were crispy on the top but mushy on the bottom due to the sauce. It was Wednesday night and the restaurant was almost empty , and the the vibe was very low key, not what I remember from the different Bagatelle around the world. They asked a couple of time if we were celebrating something. I'm not very outgoing but I even told them I was celebrating exactly our 9 year anniversary. What for? They do not even offer a dessert celebration or a glass of bubbles. No that I need it, but why do you ask if you are not going to take actions about it. . I have to mention fries were really good and Wednesday they have 50 percent discount on wine . Our wine was not cheap, and it has a sediment on the bottom. Check the pictures . BTW The table lightening are not very favorable for the Instagram pictures !! read more

Such a disappointment! We had such high expectations for this restaurant. A party atmosphere and being part of Miami Spice, we thought this would be the perfect place for a fun Saturday night date, boy were we disappointed. From the start, the service left much to be desired. We had a reservation for 10:15, we arrived promptly at 10:05 and asked the hostess if our table was ready, she said it would be a 10 min wait. We weren't seated for at least 40 min! Only after coming up to the hostess multiple times and pushing for a table, were we seated. Additionally, the table we were given was open and available for the full time we were waiting, yet for some reason they refused to seat us. Once we finally got seated, I asked the waitress for the Miami Spice menu options, after all this was the reason we came. We were told that the Miami Spice menu wasn't available on a Saturday night at 10:30, even though I specifically asked if this would be an option when calling and making the reservation. The waitress informed us that the Miami Spice menu was only available till 8pm. This would have been fine if we were told ahead of time, or if they put that as a disclaimer on their website. However, given that we were told that the Miami Spice menu would be available, this was a pure bait and switch. Additionally, given that this restaurant only opens at 7pm, making the Miami Spice menu available until 8pm seems a bit ridiculous. Given that it was late and we didn't feel like going somewhere else, we ordered form the regular menu. The food was good, however, it took a really long time to prepare. Once dinner was complete, I asked for the dessert menu, at which point I was told that dessert wasn't available this late (it was 11:30)! Mind you, no one mentioned that the kitchen was closing, and other tables were still ordering. It has to be said that the atmosphere was very fun and the food we ordered was good. Unfortunately, the horrible services really ruined the whole experience. From the very beginning it felt like they didn't want to service us, from not providing a table, to refusing to serve dessert. Honestly, Bagatelle should learn to treat paying customers better. read more

This place was fun for the entertainment and they are open late. But music so loud can't hear the waiter. Ordered Lobster dish which said market price. Ask the waiter and heard him say 35, when he must have said 135! With loud music almost impossible to hear clearly. He should have said one hundred thirty five! Anyway I could have put up with the price. If the lobster was actually good. Way over cooked. Lobster should have a little snap to it. Theirs was over cooked. Even had them replace it which took forever. And the 2nd was just as bad! Didn't expect this from such a big name spot! Crudo was average too. Presentation and atmosphere were the best part, but when the food falls so short it is upsetting spending all that hard earned money!! read more
