    Good experience. Tried a variety of tapas including salad, pita bread with dip, sparkling wine. Nothing was memorable except for the avacado salad. It was incredible. Vibes were darl and lively

    Food was amazing Service was mid, but above average for miami Says no casual / flip flops , but others dressed this way. Valet was no where to be found for 15+mins. They have fans for outside if it gets warm. Overall it was a good experience

    We had such a great time at Baoli! The food was incredible, and the staff was super friendly. The vibes were on point--we booked a late-night seating so we could enjoy the DJ mid-dinner and seamlessly transition into the after-party. The music was amazing--a perfect mix of Arabic house with some well-known tracks blended in. We ordered the ribeye, tandoori shrimp, some sushi/maki, the spicy margaritas, and the potatoes--everything was top-tier, but the potatoes were next level! Highly recommend this place, especially if you're looking for those Tulum-style dinner-to-club vibes where you can eat, drink, and dance all in one spot. Will definitely be coming back!

    Never been to anything like this. Reminded me of night at the roxberry. The ambiance was perfect. People here dress up so sexy!!! I love Miami. The service was on point and the food is to die for. I had every single appetizer. They are all 10/10. And my dinner was lobster. Interesting presentation but it was delicious. A most go when in Miami. And DO dress to impress.

    Extremely overpriced with a $50/person deposit to reserve but you're paying for the experience not the food. Don't expect exceptional service or food but you can expect a really fun atmosphere and music! 22% gratuity is already included in every bill. I ordered the seafood pasta for $89 and it was decent. Again, you come for the atmosphere and a good time! The decor was also beautiful

    Clubby restaurant with surprisingly great food! Get a late reservation if you can, so it leads into a night out. There's a DJ and dancers and the place is LOUD so don't expect to have in-depth conversations at your table. Mid-way through the meal, the music got even louder and our waitress brought us up into the bar to dance! They gave us sparklers too. Groups of girls can go with a promoter to get a table with drinks and chasers included, or the restaurant was offering that too, to get more girls. The food was pricy but absolutely delicious. Pan-Asian mix of Japanese, Chinese, Indian flavors. Cauliflower was great! Massamam curry flavor Avocado salad was really tasty and also Indian flavored Sushi was nice and a nice sized portion The spicy rock shrimp wasn't my favorite

    Went to Baoli with a large group of friends and we had a great time. The decor is inside is beautiful. They have a DJ playing some awesome music and then around 10-11 the party really starts. They had all the girls dancing on the bar. To my surprise the food was great. The place was packed and the service was excellent. Good spot for a celebration.

    Tucked away in the heart of Sobe, an amazing birthday experience with even a greater DJ! We went for a birthday dinner with 10 people and everything was awesome. The vibes, the food, the music was on point (Tulum, Boho house), our waitress. We got there around 8:30 and the party was just getting started. Around 10 is where it becomes a "nightclub", they had the girls dancing on top of the bar with a whole show and presentation. Food was great. We got the crispy tuna/salmon, spicy tuna roll, salmon roll, hamachi roll (melted like butter in your mouth), Wagyu dumplings, shrimp, and more! Expensive but you should already know that coming to a restaurant like this. Definitely a great time and hopefully to be back for more!

    MIAMI SPICE REVIEW FOOD: overall, no dish stood out to me. The plates ARE smaller for Miami spice and I was still hungry when I left. Crispy rice: pretty solid, nothing to complain about except it was just a bit Hamachi tacos: again, good, but just a tiny bite Beef Kofta: good Mediterranean flavors, but it would definitely be better with a side of carbs Salmon: wouldn't get this again because the flavors fell flat. The fish was also very over cooked Banana spring roll: literally just bananas wrapped in spring rolls, and deep fried DRINKS: drinks are pricier since most are $22. I do think that the bartender inside made the drinks better than when we ordered it at the table (more garnishing and alcohol). AMBIANCE I think the ambiance is what drives people here. It feels like an exclusive tropical hideaway in Sobe. All the women are dressed to party and there's a DJ playing chill beats. There's not a lot of fans outside, so be ready to sweat.

    10oz. Prime Skirt Steak, Cod, Mushroom veggie soup, beer, two empty welcome drinks and watermelon krush cocktail.

    My spouse and I went to Baoli for Valentine's Day expecting a romantic prix fixe dinner for two, and it turned out to be a huge disappointment. PRE-PAID BTW. We had a 9:00 pm reservation but weren't seated until 9:20. The place was extremely overcrowded, with a long line of other couples behind us, and it was incredibly clear they had overbooked the night. Also we weren't greeted with the promised welcome drink, and service was so incredibly slow. My spouse asked the waiter at least five times for his beer as well as my drink before we finally received them. To make matters worse, one of our plates came out cold and had to be sent back. It was a beef steak of some sort. They also took a long time to clear our table between courses, leaving a lot of plates sitting in front of us and making the whole experience feel uncomfortable and unpolished. Also the prix fixe menu was also served family style, which wasn't what we expected for a Valentine's dinner for two. It felt impersonal and chaotic rather than romantic. And incredibly odd since we pre-paid for each person. Despite all of this, they still charged a service fee for the drinks we had , which felt completely undeserved. Overall, it was uncomfortable, disorganized, and left a very sour taste in our mouths. We definitely won't be returning. Our first and last

    Crispy Rice with Salmon

    Delicious meal and cool vibes! We visited Baoli while celebrating a bachelorette party in Miami. We initially wanted to dine at Mila but there was a buyout so we landed on Baoli - a sister property. The ambiance was phenomenal inside but outside wasn't the best. It was very hot and not well lit. I understand dim lights set the vibe but this was too dark. They really need more fans! The saving crazy is that the food was incredible and our server, Jerome was phenomenal. He was very attentive and provided soldiers food recommendations for our group. I'd love to go back and dine inside.

    We are heading to Miami in May for a 50th Bday party? It sounds like this is the perfect place to be. Do they do any bday surprise with sparklers - I saw a lot of sparklers in the photos. Also is getting separate checks an issue?

    In Miami they don't split checks but could take up to 6 cards depending on the place. I believe the lights are when you purchase bottles...

The ambience is secluded and warm without losing its chic feeling. The two chefs had a great personality and we had great conversations. The food was absolutely amazing. Each course had a completely distinct flavor profile and played off one another very well. None where so over powering that it made the other seem bland. Extremely well balanced with amazing flavors. For a nice night out.

We normally check the Michelin Guide first but there's none for Miami so we decided to browse through Tock for fun. This was how we stumbled upon Sushi Bar and we are so glad we did! The price point of $185 per seating is super worth it. You get a lot of fish and they are very creative with each nigiri. Their spin on it shows their creative side (with Miami flavors) but is not super over the top and sauce does not drown out the freshness of the fish. Something that stood out to me was how they shaved frozen monkfish liver as a topping. I wanna go back just for that!! They also had some pieces where they smoked the fish. Besides the food, I thought it was very creative how they welcomed guests with a welcome drink at the hotel bar. This was so unique! We finished ours early, and had some of their other drinks - they were all very good! Once they're ready, a server came to get us from the hotel bar and led us through an alleyway to a separate building which was where the actual omakase was taking place. The atmosphere was dark and gave off speakeasy vibes, which I thought was different to other omakase places. Bar is spacious enough to still have private conversations. We did the beverage pairing and we really appreciated the sommelier's knowledge. Overall, we would want to come back again for another tasting experience!!

I showed up around 7:45p with a friend after a long day of exercise, and it sounds like we arrived just after the dinner rush. Lots of open seats at the sushi bar (and super cute couches with tables outside). We were surprised to learn about Sushi Sunday, which included killer deals on drinks ($5 beer/wine, as well as some other signature options for $7 and $10), as well as deals on lots of appetizers, hand rolls ($5), and desserts. We sat inside and the cool AC was perfect for us. I tried 3 hand rolls: lobster, salmon, and truffle avocado. Each was prepared quickly and expertly by Chef Byron. My friend also tried the scallop hand roll. The nori (seaweed paper) was crispy and fresh, and all the ingredients were delicious. We also tried the tuna crispy rice (slight variations in the size of each bite, but the flavor was spot on), a surf and turf roll (yummmmm), salmon sashimi, and the chocolate lava cake with caramel ice cream. The sashimi was cut beautifully and came with some greens and a tasty sesame and soy/yuzu sauce for a little flair. The cake was more cooked than lava, but it was rich and the perfect amount of sweetness that paired beautifully with a "Black Velvet" martini (their take on an espresso martini which had sake in it). I am so happy to have found this neighborhood gem on West Ave, and will consider this a top spot! I plan to go back, and you should too!!
