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.

Located on the top floor of a beautiful, high-end shopping center right in the heart of Brickell,…read moreMotek is an incredible covered, open-air establishment. Even on a 90-degree day, they managed the Miami heat flawlessly with an elaborate system of fans. Combined with the evening's natural breeze, it was completely comfortable. It's a great spot for people-watching, and the local Miami talent is definitely on display. I was dining solo and sat at the long bar, where the bartender was friendly and highly attentive. The food completely stole the show. It is not hyperbole when I say I had the best chicken shawarma of my life here. The flavor was unreal. It came with a phenomenal s'chug sauce and a perfectly prepared green pepper. It was so good that I ordered a side of extra hot peppers to keep that incredible heat and flavor rolling throughout the meal. To drink, I tried the Israeli dark lager by Golden --excellent choice at 4.9% and remarkably close in profile to a Negra Modelo. The back of the restaurant features a fairly open kitchen concept, so you can see where all the magic happens. The execution is fast, and the dishes roll out quickly. I will absolutely be back next time I'm in Brickell.

With all the rave of this place, I wanted to fall in love with it so bad. And the food was fine but…read morethe service was extremely disappointing. I was left embarrassed recommending a place that made my friends and I leave so uncomfortable. I came with some friends from out of town and wanted a place that would impress them but still casual enough for them in Brickell. They are unfamiliar with the "social rules" of Miami but Motek seemed to highlight all the negative ones here. The server took one look at us and deemed we were not worthy of his attention, presence, or service. The server was named Sebastien and he was extremely pushy and rude. He was constantly watching us but never came over to speak with us unless we called over another server or busser to get him. He tried to rush us into leaving when the restaurant was empty and his whole demeanor to us was so unwelcoming. The decor was gorgeous but the food was not good enough to forgive the horrible service. If you want to go to a place, within a mall, that bases service around what you look like with hyper vigilant staff that watch your every move making it their mission to make you so uncomfortable you are forced to leave, then this is for you.

We also got the Wagyu Double Smash Bacon Cheeseburger and although it was smaller than expected the taste made up for it so much. And then for dessert we got the birthday brownie which was super yummy and a cute little dessert The service was good everyone was very sweet especially since it was my friends birthday so they were very attentive and kind.

Everything I've had has been excellent, cooked properly, served at the right temperature, and the service usually starts off great. My one consistent pet peeve is that the service tends to drop off toward the end of the meal. Once the restaurant gets busy, it can feel like you're forgotten after the food is served. Getting someone to come back around for dessert, another drink, or even just the check can sometimes take much longer than it should. I've noticed this on more than one visit, particularly when the restaurant fills up. I also rarely see much of a manager presence on the floor. I think that makes a difference, especially during busy periods when the staff could use some extra support and guests are waiting for attention. Overall, I'm still a fan. The food is excellent and the experience starts strong. I just wish they could maintain that same level of service through the very end of the meal, especially when things get busy.
