Brunch/dining at Cactus Club Cafe was a really fun experience overall with great food and a stylish atmosphere. One thing to note is they do not allow sandals in the establishment, so we actually had to make a quick stop at Ross down the street for one of the girls in our party to grab some heels just something to keep in mind before you go. Once seated, the experience was really enjoyable. We started with the brochure bread, which was a 9/10 super soft and the butter was especially flavorful. The espresso martini was a 6/10; it was strong but not a favorite in terms of balance. The crab dip was an 8/10 and really enjoyable, and the calamari was also an 8/10 crispy and well-prepared. The Peach Bellini was a standout at 10/10 perfectly made and very refreshing. For entrées, the red Thai curry tofu and red Thai curry chicken were both 9/10 rich, flavorful, and well-seasoned. The Creole blackened chicken was a 10/10 for the chicken itself, cooked perfectly and very flavorful, served with asparagus and potatoes which were an 8/10 (could've used a bit more seasoning for depth). The truffle Parmesan chicken was also a 10/10 she mentioned it was one of her favorite meals we had while in Miami. Overall, the food and ambiance made for a really great dining experience with a lot of solid menu options. I'd definitely return, just with a heads-up on the dress code! read more

Cactus Club is a fun dining experience with good vibes. First off, there's a dress code. It isn't crazy but no athletic wear, shorts, etc, and they do check you before you check in at the host stand. My friend and I ordered a dynamite roll, parker house rolls, and fish tacos. Everything was delicious, and the portion size was decent for appetizers. I also ordered a jalapeño margarita but liked that less than the food. it was hard to drink and it unknowingly had cilantro in it. i like cilantro but did not like it in the drink. I would not recommend it, and should have gotten the frozen Bellini instead. You're definitely paying for the location and experience so it isn't cheap, but it's a nice atmosphere. read more

Cactus Club Cafe - Dynamite roll - New American Near Me - Miami, Florida

Absolutely unacceptable experience at Cactus Club Miami today. I had a 1:45 PM reservation and was denied entry by the General Manager, Justin, allegedly because of my "dress code." What made the situation incredibly disturbing was that there were multiple other guests inside the restaurant wearing very similar apparel who were allowed to dine without issue. The treatment felt completely selective, arbitrary, and discriminatory. Instead of being treated respectfully as a paying customer with a confirmed reservation, I was publicly embarrassed and singled out with no clear explanation or consistent policy enforcement. If there is truly a dress code, it should apply equally to everyone -- not selectively depending on who walks through the door. The way this was handled was unprofessional, humiliating, and honestly disgusting. I expected far better from an establishment of this reputation. I will not be returning. read more

We came here for a late night snack and honestly the peach bellinis were the main event They were SO good. Not too strong, not overly sweet, just perfect. Kinda wish I got another one now lol. My sister got the dynamite roll, I got the yuzu crab temaki, and my other sister got the crab dip. The sushi was actually really good and was the perfect thing to snack on with the bellinis. The crab dip was okay but could've had a little more flavor. Overall I'd definitely come back and try more stuff on the menu. read more

People watching was great... food was okay... drinks were decent... service was friendly peroooo a little slow. They have the staff waiting on tables & packing food orders. We waited a little longer than necessary for water, a wet towelette for the sticky ribs we had & the check. The dress code text reminder didn't seem to be fully enforced when we saw so many patrons dressed like they were going from the couch through the drive thru of a fast food joint. This felt a bit disappointing because we checked & double checked that we were respecting guidelines. Sadly we also came two weeks after they stopped doing their HH due to not having proper crowd control (albeit the crowd should behave accordingly but good patrons end up suffering). We ordered their stick ribs which were sweet, hot & delicious. Definitely an item to go for when you are there... The crab & spinach dip was actually more crab than spinach so that was an A++! The butternut shrimp ravioli had this truffle oil that was so good I just wanted to scoop it up with anything we had on the table! read more

This was such a lovely experience. The vibe and ambiance didn't disappoint. My service was fast, attentive, and suggestive. My server helped me decide on the ever-so-delicious sticky ribs over pasta because "you can get pasta anywhere, Cactus Club ribs are one of a kind." He was telling the truth. I had the perfect girl dinner: sticky ribs, truffle fries, and 2 peach bellinis. All the staff were great, and the bathroom is up to par for bathroom pics.The location is also good for a quick stroll or a nice Miami drive before or after. Highly recommend 10/10!!! read more

Cactus Club Cafe - sticky ribs,truffle fries,peach bellini - New American Near Me - Miami, Florida

Checked out Cactus Club in downtown for what I thought would be a solid happy hour spot, but that part ended up being a letdown. When we asked about the happy hour menu, we were told they actually removed it because it was attracting a crowd they didn't want which was honestly disappointing to hear. That said, the food definitely redeemed the experience. We ordered a few appetizers to share, and they did not miss. The crab and spinach dip was rich and super flavorful, served warm. The sticky ribs were also really good and tender, saucy, and just messy enough in the best way. We also tried the butternut squash shrimp ravioli trio, which we all enjoyed. For drinks, I went with the frozen Bellini and it was so refreshing I had to order a second. Overall, even though the happy hour situation was a downside, the food and drinks made me a fan enough to probably come back and try out more of the menu, especially the sushi read more

I stopped by for a drinks while discussing serious matters. The place is nice. We a few drinks. IMO the place is all hype, and over priced. $12 for a beer is pure insanity. I'll go back and try a few bites, but it's just not worth the price tag. A good looking bar/restaurant. read more

Cactus Club Cafe - The bar area! - New American Near Me - Miami, Florida

The restaurant lived up to the hype! Great ambience, great service, and delicious food. Yes there is a dress code enforced, but being so close to bayside I can see why they need to do so to prevent the tourist in beach attire walking in. The vibe is a little more elevated than an Earls or Moxies and the food was much better. 10/10 read more

Our final dinner plans for our Miami open trip. The place is very cute with dark, sultry vibes--very fitting for any occasion tbh. We were waited on by Sayoka! She was an absolute delight, providing great recommendations (that seabass!) and conversation overall. We love a friendly, kind person! We both ordered cocktails, idr what he had but I had the Bellini. I would absolutely try something different given how sweet this drink tastes once it starts to melt down. I had my eye on the midnight hour and should've went with my first thought. For starters we had the sushi set, hot chicken and pickles, and creole crab dip. The crab dip came out hot and gooey but left a quite bit to be desired from a flavor perspective--wasn't a lick of Cajun or old bay season present. The sushi set was an absolute star. Every single bite was as good as the last. The chicken and pickles were OK! He wasn't a fan of the chicken breading, I thought it was solid but would absolutely try something diff next visit. I got full fast so we decided to share the seabass. We were told it's slept on, and quite frankly... everyone is missing out! That dish was so yummy--flaky fish, savory dash butter. If licking a plate wasn't shameful... All in all, good visit! We'd definitely check this place out again. read more

We had such a great time here today. We booked our reservation for today at 6:30pm. I called to see if I could come earlier and the AI assistant helped set it to 5pm. We were quickly sat down. The ambiance is beautiful. Very intimate. The food was amazing and our waitress Presley was super kind and sweet. She gave us recommendations and was attentive. The food comes out really quickly and it's fresh. I will most definitely come back. read more

I went during the weekday, on a Monday, and it was fully packed. Our reservation was for 7:45 PM, and I highly recommend making one. We were seated within five minutes. The menu was simple to follow, very reasonably priced, and the food was very, very, very good. The spinach dip was one of my favorites, along with the shrimp and crab ravioli. The ambience was nice, no music, but it's a cute little spot for two people. We had three appetizers, two entrée, and two drinks (of course, the popular Peach Teeny). Everything came out to $174, which is pretty good. My only complaint is the valet. Parking is too expensive, it's $30. I'm assuming it's because it's connected to the hotel. Other than that, it was a great experience, but just be aware there are a lot of young people there. read more

Recently opened here in Miami. Great atmosphere, vibe, service, drinks and food. Probably going to be a place to go every time I visit Miami. Everything was amazing from start to finish. I can say more without making too mushy. Since they just opened up, it will be interesting to come back in a few months. Although many of there other locations (predominantly in Canada ) are receiving rave reviews. See for yourself! read more

Attended the soft opening last night. Everything was amazing. The food, the atmosphere and especially the service. I can't wait to come back when they are fully open. I want to try so many things on the menu. We started out with the Calamari and the seafood and spinach dip. Both were fantastic. My buddy had the Ribeye medium which was cooked perfectly. I had the seafood pasta which was equally good. The cocktail options were amazing. Our servers were Kelly B and Paz. They couldn't have been any nicer or more helpful. Everything about the Cactus Club was first rate. I expect to become a regular here. read more

SHEESH! I was only aware of this restaurant due to the Drake sound trending on Tik Tok about the peach bellini's and well I see the hype. I recommend anyone that is going to make a reservation if you are dressed up and wanting a table. Otherwise, your options are one of the two bars. We did not have a reservation and ended up sitting at the outside bar (which people stood around even without seats). I will say due to this high volume there is a wait time with the service, but it was worth it. If you are not in a rush and willing to wait, then it is a great place for you! I will say the overall ambiance of the cactus club is going for high scale, so I recommend wearing nicer clothes (heels, dress, dress pants, etc.,). However, I was in shorts and crew neck and sat at the outside bar and nothing was said to me. In addition, the bathrooms are gender neutral, so it is a shared common area to wait, but each stall had its own sink and toilet. Let's start with the drinks. I mean where in Miami can you get drinks under $15 for happy hour that taste AMAZING. Next we ordered a few other items off the happy hour menu (which I highly recommend if you are in the area). The truffles fries were really good for the price, but not the best I have ever had. The smash burger was a big hit between my friend and I due to the price only being $9 (I mean you can barely go to fast food for that price) and the taste being top tier. And then the fan favorite was the hot chicken. You know when you order something hot or spicy you always have that fear that the spice or hotness will overtake the meal and it won't be good. This was the perfect balance of hotness and flavor balanced out on chicken. I highly recommend a nice peach bellini and hot chicken if you come for happy hour! I can't wait to come back and try a reservation with other menu items, but even at that I will still be getting a peach bellini! read more

I've heard great things about Cactus Club so I had to check it out. The customer service was great. From the receptionist to the waitress, I felt welcomed. The aesthetics and ambiance were both great. Our waitress was Ashley and she's so nice and helpful. The food and drinks were good. I had the peach Bellini of course and the froze. The pull apart bread was delicious. The sticky ribs were tender, fall off the bone and tasty. The crab and spinach dip was nice and cheesy. The spaghetti portofino was a bit overly salty though. read more

Gorgeous, large, modern space. Walked in for lunch on a Thursday, there was no wait. The hostesses were very friendly and accommodating. No specific lunch menu, most items seemed more appropriate for dinner. Our waitress was very friendly, patient and attentive. Offered recommendations and customized dishes for the kids. We started with the popular frozen peach Bellini, I'm not a frozen drink kind of girl but you can't come go Cactus Club and not order these! They were very good, tasted just like a peach gummy ring (which is my favorite candy). We also tried the spicy margarita which was refreshing, the perfect balance of jalapeño & cilantro. Instead of entrees we decided to order a bunch of apps to share. Pull apart bread was soft and tasty, served with the most delicious truffle butter. The sushi set was a generous portion (12 pieces for $40). All pieces were good, a little heavy on the rice though. The hot chicken & pickles were underwhelming, needed more flavor and spice. The ravioli trio was very rich and filling, the sautéed shrimp on top was delicious. Perfect spot for a date night or girls night. I will be back for dinner next time I'm in town. read more

Canada's hospitality scene is making a confident move south. The restaurant group behind JOEY, Earls, and Cactus Club has brought a refined yet approachable dining experience to Miami--and beyond. With thoughtful design, standout service, and menus that balance indulgence with restraint, they offer luxury without excess. From the moment you walk into any of their concepts, you're welcomed by exceptionally professional staff and an upscale yet approachable atmosphere. Our servers Josh and Alejandro knew the menu very well. As a life long vegetarian I needed to make sure there wasn't any hidden anima products. They were very helpful. The lettuce wrap appetizer was delicious and big enough to share. I didn't have room for the crispy tofu bowl but it was so delicious I couldn't stop eating. Drinks are beautiful and mixed perfectly. Everything we tried was flavorful, satisfying, and beautifully plated--hearty yet healthy, generously portioned, and refreshingly free of obvious inflation pricing. The cocktails and mocktails? Consistently on point. Cactus Club is clearly on its way to becoming a major favorite. read more

This place has a lot of hype for their Bellini. It was good but I enjoyed the Mezcal Margarita more. I recommend sitting outside, it was a much better vibe than the booths inside. The service was excellent. We had a few apps, nothing there stood out. read more

I've visited Cactus Club Cafe about three times now since it opened. Each time I've thought the service was pretty close to perfect and I've loved all of the food I've tried so far. On one visit I ordered the DOLCE VITA SPRITZ which was very good for a mocktail. As far as food goes, I've tried the WAGYU BEEF CARPACCIO, the AVOCADO DIP, the TRUFFLE FRIES, the THE MED BOWL, the BAJA FISH TACOS and the MISO CARAMEL SEABASS. Everything was great and even the avocado dip which sounds basic was actually great. The only thing I thought was off was the crowd when I've visited at night, but that could just be a product of it being spring break. The restaurant is very stylishly decorated and the ambiance (aside from the crowd) was lovely. I look forward to visiting for Happy Hour! read more

Cactus Club Review (as a person who isn't trying to influence you but just sharing their opinion and personal experience) Peach Bellini- 2/10 Frose- 0/10 Creole Crab and Spinach Dip- 5/10 Avocado dip-8/10 Sticky Garlic Ribs- 5/10 Hot Chicken and Pickles- 6/10 Creole Steak and Jumbo Shrimp- 6/10 Service- 8/10 Ambiance- 9/10 Vibe-7.5/10 (could've been the time we went and overall experience) Overall It's a 4/10 for me. I didn't enjoy my overall experience because of how certain people in our party was treated. They were selective on WHO they enforced their "dress code with". Since opening they've changed the dress code at least twice. One of the guys in my party had to go home to change his shorts to pants even though the website had no mention of no shorts or hats listed. Everyone in the party dressed according to what was listed on their website. Only for us to see them letting other people in with shorts. ( 1 guy (YT) had on jean shorts just like my friend did. The other guy (blk and HUGE SOUTH BEACH party promoter) had on swim trunks which was specifically stated couldn't be worn. We were told after 3 pm they don't allow hats in the restaurant, but again that wasn't listed on the website. Honestly I don't eat anything or drink anything that would make me want to go back on my own. The food to me was mid and just ok. Didn't have one single thing that I would eat again. I would have to be invited there for a dinner party of someone I love to go back! read more

We walked by Cactus Club Cafe while staying at a nearby hotel. The waiter told it just opened two weeks ago so we were excited to get to try it. We stopped in for happy hour and they had a great happy hour menu. We got the Frose which was super delicious, better than a standard frose you'd think of. We also got the avocado dip which was like an elevated guac. The tuna dish was super great and the ravioli was amazing! I'd definitely come back and recommend to others. Service was great. read more

The food was really good! The one reason I'll return! The service was "ok"... I went during Happy Hour so I'll conclude that my experience was based on that alone. It was busy, loud and incredibly overwhelming to say the least. The ambiance, I'm sure will eventually match up to the restaurants look. It's a beautiful restaurant but the crowd that it attracts will steer you away! Overall, I enjoyed the food! read more

Phenomenal from start to finish. I don't even know where to begin! The service truly goes above and beyond, and both the food and drinks are absolutely incredible.

If you're heading to Cactus Club Cafe, expect a polished, modern vibe with a lively atmosphere that's great for casual meetups or a night out. The menu leans upscale casual, with a good mix of crowd-pleasing dishes and stylish presentation. One thing to note--this location no longer offers happy hour, so plan accordingly if you were hoping for discounted drinks. That said, the drink menu still delivers; I tried the frosé, and it was refreshing, well-balanced, and perfect for unwinding. Overall, it's a dependable downtown spot, even without the happy hour perks. read more

The staff was super sweet and really helpful with recommendations, which made the experience even better.

I tried to eat at Cactus Club Cafe Miami and got turned away for wearing shorts... in Miami. Let that sink in. A restaurant branding itself as "elevated everyday dining" somehow decided that everyday doesn't include dressing like you live in South Florida. The level of delusion here is almost admirable. This isn't Le Bernardin. It's not Nobu. It's a glorified chain restaurant playing dress-up, acting like it's hosting the Met Gala instead of serving overpriced cocktails and mid-tier entrees. Turning away customers over shorts in a beach city doesn't make you "elevated"--it makes you look completely disconnected from reality. It screams insecurity. Like you're so desperate to be perceived as upscale that you'll enforce arbitrary rules instead of actually earning that reputation through, I don't know... food? service? atmosphere? "Elevated everyday dining" is honestly the funniest part. There is nothing "everyday" about being stopped at the door like you're trying to sneak into a members-only club. And there's nothing "elevated" about needing a dress code to convince people you're fancy. If anything, it's the clearest sign that you're not. The whole experience felt less like hospitality and more like a bad audition for exclusivity. You're not curating a vibe--you're gatekeeping a brand that hasn't earned the right to act this pretentious. In a city full of genuinely great restaurants that welcome people as they are, this place chose to be the one that confuses arrogance for quality. Relax. You're not that important. read more

Just now leaving cactus club and all I can say is 10 out of 10. The food was really good. The service, atmosphere, the music. Everything was really nice.

This may also be my new favorite spot to go to. And they also do have vegetarian options. read more

If you are dining here solely for ambience and drinks this place is an expensive outing that may be worth a visit in Downtown Miami. Unfortunately the food is just decent for the cost. If I were visiting for just appetizers it may be worth it or a happy hour as well. The main courses were underwhelming and very pricey. Service was decent considering how new the establishment is. Would visit only once for the experience and ambience but not for the food or service. I was excited for our visit being that its their opening week. read more

Just eh. Honestly the service from amber is saving this review because other wise it wasn't much to say about it. The popular Bellini drink was being pushed out to the extent of what it looked like before guest actually putting their order in which made the drinks melt faster. I sat outside and I know ultra was happening but they didn't turn any music on until 3pm when more tables we're seated (when I entered there we're probably only a handful of tables out there). Food was O K the butternut pasta was delicious but I've had bigger portions at the same price, poke bowl was honestly nothing to brag about I felt the ingredients were very basic and the use of iceberg lettuce kinda made it feel cheap. It was fresh but again nothing special unfortunately. I would say go for decent photos and a drink with friends but to me it just seemed like another over hyped Miami spot. Very unfortunate due to my high hopes. read more

What a relief to find a place like this in Miami and I hope it lasts without getting too big for its britches! Everything here, screams hip, trendy, and expensive. All of that is true, except for the price prices are quite reasonable - considering the copious quantities that they serve. This is the type of place that has the potential to become a long-term success hit with locals- providing the fun vibe and ambience without taking advantage of us with overinflated prices as if we were all tourists. Everything we ordered- from appetizers and drinks to the meal and dessert - was absolute perfection. The serving staff were professional/extremely friendly. We also had strangers sitting at tables to our left & right who were all super friendly, so we created cross-table conversations, and ended up buying each other rounds of drinks and desserts. It started out as one kind gesture, and turned into a repetitive humorous jest. . Cactus Club Café, as of the time period of this review just 4 to 6 weeks after its launch in 2026, is experiencing a lot of viral success, fueled by social media. But the organization seemed good and the food was excellent. Useful Advice: ... - Even on weekdays, get there early (6-8pm) if you don't want to wait too long for your food. The popularity and vibrant ambience of this place did clog the kitchen. After 8 pm the place starts filling up quickly and the timing of plates coming out does slow down significantly. - Try their signature mango frozen cocktail. It seems like everybody was drinking three per person . - Park at the valet, which cost $30 because the nearby sitting parking area is $30 for two hours anyway! read more
