Sy's creations not only pop with beautiful color but also with tons of FLAVOR! We were very…read morefortunate to have Sy and her team featured at a community event for the Underline in Brickell showcasing the flavors of Miami Gardens. Sy and her team were friendly and gracious and offered us a sampling of the most gorgeous and delicious creations: Jamaican jerk meatballs, sweet plantain cups, curry chicken wonton bites, and grilled curry shrimp kabobs. All of these bites were creative, bursting with flavor, and (important for a networking event) easy to eat while chatting. The wonton bites were especially a standout for me - I don't know what was in the curry sauce that made it so delicious (coconut milk??) but it was a bite of heaven! Sy and her team offer catering and even cooking classes. I love that this is truly local food showcasing the best of the diverse flavors of our vibrant city. Would be an amazing choice for your next event and Sy's creations are sure to wow your guests!

"Hands-down the BEST food I've had in a long time."…read more In all honesty I wouldn't typically stop and leave reviews on things like this. But EasyCookinWithSy completely blew me away. From the moment I placed my order, everything was smooth, professional, and full of flavor. I ordered a full catering spread for my family's celebration, and people are still talking about it weeks later! The jerk chicken? Perfectly seasoned. The rasta pasta? Creamy, spicy, and addictive. And don't even get me started on the banana pudding cake. literal heaven in a slice. Sy doesn't just cook bro... she creates an experience. You can feel the love in every bite. I'll be back for every event, every birthday, and probably just random Tuesdays too‍ 10/10 would recommend. Book her. Thank me later.

One of my daughters is very picky about what she puts in her mouth but she actually loved and finished the jasmine rice that came with the steak dish. I didn't quite enjoy my salmon and the spinach that I asked for as a side was too oily! I love a restaurant that brings out fresh bread. It was amazing! Our waitress gave us her name but I don't remember. You will hear her talking in the video as she patiently explained the desserts that they had. She was the best.. we are going back tomorrow for brunch.

From the moment you walk in, there's a warm, welcoming energy -- part upscale café, part gourmet market, and entirely delightful. The food is nothing short of outstanding. Everything is fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor. Whether you're stopping in for a healthy lunch, a cozy dinner, or just grabbing a coffee and pastry, the quality is consistent and always impressive. The menu has something for everyone -- from crisp salads and comforting pastas to standout daily specials that are hard to pass up. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate (starting with Inés - Chef and owner) on what they serve. You can tell there's real care behind every detail, from the curated wine selection to the artisanal groceries lining the shelves. Open Kitchen is more than just a restaurant -- it's a community spot where good food meets good people and friends; which I have been a customer for more than 9 years. A must-visit in Bay Harbor Islands!
