    Amazing time, amazing food and amazing ambience. Chef Allen creates wonderful vegetarian dishes and explains each item. This is family style dining, so prepare to make new friends. Loved it! Will definitely come back.

    What an incredible EARTH DAY treat!

    What a FANTASTIC experience! I had been hearing about Chef Allen's Farm to Table dinners for over a year & always planned to attend. I finally did last night & it was incredible. The dinners are held Monday evenings at the Book & Books in the Arsht Center & once a month at the Books & Books in the Gables & you can elect to have the wine pairing for a bit more. Free parking directly across the street in Downtown is a HUGE plus! We arrived and were immediately surprised by a farmer's market being held and long family style tables set up in between. It was a perfect Miami evening with cool breezes blowing in from Biscayne Bay & the Downtown skyline behind us. As soon as we were seated, Chef Allen came up & began by discussing the theme of the dinner (Spring!) & where they source their local produce. The meal itself is vegetarian but not vegan & he mentions to let him know of any allergies. Once he finished his welcome speech to excited applause, the food began to appear. The sun was beginning to set over Miami when the first of 5 courses was sent out... the Moroccan Spiced Carrots were divine! Next came Sweet Potatoes with Sweet & Spicy Green Beans, followed by the beautiful Heirloom Tomatoes; Amazing colors & presentation! ALL beautiful to look at & delicious to eat. Throughout the evening, Chef Allen continued to walk around & engage with all the diners table-side offering information on the dishes & answering any questions. The first 3 dishes were served family style & we were lucky enough to be seated next to a lovely couple, Diane & Ken, who had attended many of these dinners in the past & were able to give us lots of extra insights. For the main course, we were served a beautiful Spring Vegetable Tart which was again, delicious & perfectly cooked puffed pastry. For dessert, we had a wonderful Chocolate Creme Pie with a Salted Caramel Sauce to finish up an incredible meal. The entire experience was SO wonderful & I truly cannot wait to return VERY soon to see what else Chef Allen has whipped up!

    Great clean and healthy alternative for a monday night. The menu changes weekly depending on the theme the chef comes up with and is a nice change of pace. The seating is done outside the Arsht Center , next to the farmer's market. On this date, there was a spanish guitar player with some nice tunes. The weather is great this time of year, so it wasn't bad for seating outside. The menu is strictly vegetarian and it includes a 5 course meal served family style, adding $14 if you want to pair it with wine. Overall, it was a nice experience , something out of the ordinary.

I stopped in for lunch after a work meeting and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. I needed a "steak break," so I opted for the "I Can't Believe It's Not Carbonara"--and I have zero noodle regrets! The zucchini substitute combined with a delicious carbonara sauce meant there was no concern about the lack of traditional pasta. The zucchini more than filled the role, and I certainly appreciated the caloric savings. The chicken was also well-cooked, flavorful, and moist. I especially loved the tableside delivery and the unique touch of being served directly from a colander. The order isn't huge, which I appreciated, it felt the right size for lunch without weighing down your afternoon. Now, there were likely no calorie savings with the Serrano Ham Croquettes, but they are small and easily shareable if you want to spread the love. They are a true step up and a legitimate treat compared to run-of-the-mill mozzarella sticks. The decor kitsch continues right until the end--the check arrived in an old-school lunchbox! The staff were great throughout the meal, making for a seamless and enjoyable lunch.

From the moment we sat down, our waitress was warm and attentive. I wish I'd gotten her name. She made great recommendations that were all delicious. Is a simple but effective menu with starters included with the main dish. Great value for their portions. We had no complaints about the food and the drinks were just as good. The restaurant is very well managed and organized. It's a beautiful location with gorgeous views of golden hour.

The hardest part about dining here was deciding what I wanted to order. I could have ordered the entire menu it looked so good! Helpful tip... check out the menu and know what you're going to order before you get in line. Otherwise you're going to be pressured to order at the front of the line. When you walk in, you place your order and pay for it and take a table number. You need to find your own table. Our service was pretty quick, despite how busy the restaurant was. My cold brew was very good and a nice start to the meal. Our guacamole came next and it was nicely styled with pomegranate, cheese and cilantro on top. Yum! The real star of the show for me was this unassuming looking House Club Sandwich that was to die for. Seriously ... it was so good. I ordered mine without the ham, and it was divine! I wish i lived closer. I'm already dreaming of coming back. My son ordered some kind of short rib/beef burrito and it disappeared so quickly I didn't even get to snap a photo. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a great meal, I highly recommend it. One thing I can say is that it's on the pricey side. $113 lunch for 2 added up super fast but it was well worth it. I'll be dreaming of that sandwich til my next visit!

I ordered the mahi mahi tacos, and while they tasted ok, the portion size felt pretty small for the price. Overall, it came across as a bit overpriced for what you get. The service style is more casual and self-directed. You order and pay at the register, get a number, and then find your own seat while they bring the food out to you. Water is self-serve, and once you're done with your meal, you just head out. There's minimal interaction with staff, which might appeal to people who prefer a more low-key, independent dining experience or want a place to sit and work without being interrupted. That said, the service did not feel very friendly or welcoming. And personally, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed.

    If you're around Brickell, and specially if you work around the area, and craving something fresh,…read morebalanced, Happeas is a superb spot. We tried the Chicken Shawarma Pita Pocket, and it clearly is better than any other sandwich option. The soft pita wraps around warm, creamy hummus (honestly one of the best in the city), pickled red cabbage, Mediterranean pickles, and that well-seasoned chicken shawarma. The mix of lemon tahini, mango aioli, a touch of spicy relish, caramelized plantains, and roasted red pepper sauce gives it a really layered flavor without feeling heavy. Everything works together, and nothing competes. We also had the Cilantro Falafel Bowl, which comes with a base of hummus and lemon cabbage salad. The falafel with lemon tahini is crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the bowl is packed with roasted cabbage, cherry tomatoes, English cucumbers, chickpeas, pickles, pickled red cabbage, and pita wedges. It's simple, very fresh, and filling in a clean way. One thing that stands out at Happeas is the personalized attention, you actually feel taken care of, and there's a good chance you'll meet the owner while you're there. The vibe is relaxed, not rushed, and they've thought about small details, like having a self-serve water machine with still and sparkling options, which is a nice touch. Overall, Happeas delivers honest, well-made food with flavors that feel intentional but not overdone. Great spot for a quick lunch that doesn't taste like a compromise.

    I am SO glad that I found this place. It has quickly become my absolute favorite Taco restaurant…read morein Brickell and one of my top 5 all time. Everything is fresh and hot (temp) and the service is always helpful and friendly. I wish I could remember the different servers names but Fernando at the bar is Great. Also, the prices are very fair (especially on Taco Tuesday). A couple of small minuses . . I wish they had a few more craft beer options and the only thing I've been disappointed with was the really tiny shrimp. One of the nearby chain competitors has full on jumbo shrimp in their Tacos and burritos. At least use medium sized or larger shrimp. I will absolutely be back (nearly every week) because it's a wonderful combination of excellent food and good prices. Keep up the good work.

    There are so many places to eat locally. This was just okay. We stopped by for a Friday lunch…read more Service was quick and friendly. The lunch special wasn't all that special though, because the sign brought us in, but once we sat down, we found out that there were limitations on which tacos could could order for the lunch special. Also, the queso was very very small with the lunch special. Just a tiny cup of queso with some chips. It was a cool little outdoor area. We didn't have drinks, so I cannot speak on those. Service was good and quick, so no complaints. I just didn't think the menu had much to offer for me. Nothing special, but fine for a quick bite.
