    Frozen Sangria

    Decor

    A Florida restaurant right on the water with great views and good food? Yes, please. Crazy About You is nicely appointed with a bit of charming quirk woven into the decor. 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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a fun venue! The decor is cool and the outside bar is awesome![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the branzino - it was good but too much sauce. I also had the Tostones with bruschetta as my appetizer and it was amazing for dessert. I had the brownie, and I like the Eiffel Tower display, but the plates upon delivery were huge, took up almost the whole table along with the accoutrement serving tray. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was very fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Crazy about you was our second choice. Our first choice was my name is Dolores, but you can call me Lolita and it was closed for a special event and the hostess recommend us to go to crazy about you. Similar menu sister restaurant 13 minute walk away from the first choice keep that mine is next to the water. Very nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a very nice touch to have blankets in the patio. If you get cold, you can wear a blanket when you're having your dinner[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] food wise the appetizer all the appetizer were amazing. Everybody choose different appetizer to try entry. Everybody ordered the same entry that was the Wagyu burger smash burger. Mine was without bread that was the only one that didn't like it. Everybody else did. I will give her probably a nine out of 10 on effort and everything was really nice.

    We caught 5pm HH and ate in dining room. Service was great, drinks were delicious. Cornbread was amazing. Loved my tuna tartar- was served over dry ice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Vibe was very friendly and fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely cone here again if ever in the area

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was tasty... fresh and well-seasoned. We dined here for an early dinner on Easter Sunday. The restaurant was super busy, so service was slow for both food and drinks. We waited at least 40 minutes for drinks and a little longer for our appetizers before our entrees came out. But, our waiter was attentive and explained the delay, and our drinks were comped. I would give them another try because the food was very good. Plus holidays are hectic so the delays were understandable.

    We stumbled upon Crazy About You via reviews of restaurants in Miami and I'm so happy we went! We were sat outside immediately and enjoyed the views of the ocean. Our waiter was awesome, he was friendly, quick, and helpful throughout our visit. We had to get the cornbread based off other reviews and WOW! They were not kidding. Everything we ordered tasted amazing and we were so glad that we tried Crazy About You. If we find ourselves in Miami again, we will definitely be back. The food, service, and views are 10/10 across the board.

    Serrano Ham Croquettes, Fresh Baked Skillet Cornbread
    Marielle J.

    Laura was our server and was exceptional! She was precise in taking our orders and refilling our waters. Very attentive and courteous, and she was patient in giving my sister updates for gluten free and dairy free options. The ambience of this place is divine! Colorful, classy and cute! The food was AMAZING! The cornbread is a must -- you have to try! The ham croquetas were tasty! Everyone loved their dishes. The grilled salmon salad was delicious and the salmon was moist. I had the wagyu skirt steak wedge salad and it is by far, the BEST wagyu steak I've ever had! We also tried the "best chocolate cake" and it was very unique! We LOVED it here and will recommend! Thank you for a lovely experience and a great time!

    Serrano Ham Croquettes
    Alex L.

    I went to Crazy About You looking for something to eat later in the night as take out, as opposed to sit down service. I was looking for some pizza. The pizza was unfortunately a little bland and a bit soggy in the middle. I also got an order of the ham croquettes as I was told by the wait staff that an appetizer came with the order for my pizza.... which was not the case as I was charged separately for it. It was a little confusing and I would have rather not ordered it. While the flavor wasn't too bad, it was so delicate that it was hard to eat - it'd fall apart while being picked up. Overall a pretty bad experience. Even putting the misunderstanding of the appetizer aside, I thought the food just wasn't that good.

    Branzino
    Christopher B.

    This place is a gem in the city of Miami. From the food to the service to the decor to the location everything is usually top notch here. My boyfriend and I came in on a weekday and, despite not having a reservation, we were able to get a table almost immediately in the dining room as it was raining outside. The restaurant has a busy yet cozy bar and dining room area that feels romantic and super comfortable. Our server Yadanis was marvelous and so helpful to have during our meal. She was always around without that intrusive feeling and made sure every course had proper silverware and used plates removed before the next course. The food runners and bussers did a splendid job at manicuring the table and assisting to exude true teamwork. At this place when you order an entree you are automatically able to receive one of the appetizers to accompany your main beforehand. We ordered the Wagyu burger and Branzino to share and both were delectable. The burger was served with a side of shoestring fries that were fried to perfection. I mean, THIS is how you do French fries right! The branzino was cooked properly and served with a lemon butter like sauce that was served a side of au gratin potatoes. I usually don't partake in that side but couldn't resist from this restaurant. I couldn't recommend this place enough and considering we have friends at the Mark upstairs we'll gladly be back.

    I'm looking to reserved but don't find the option, how can I do?

    You can book a table by going to the restaurants website, click on the "book now" tab at the top of the page. Select your preferences and you're done! Enjoy!

    Can I bring my own specific bottle of wine? If yes, how much do you charge? How can I book the outdoor seating?

    No , But they have good PRice ,

    We are a party of 6 is there no outside seating?

    Yes there is outside seating

    How much is valet parking?

    I think it was either 8 or 10 dollars.

    Did you guys have parking?

    They have reasonable valet parking, and it was excellent! If you get there on a not so busy night there is some pay by phone street parking.

    Given that some of the answers go back three years or more, would it be possible to update the community on the valet parking & corkage fees, as well as the app that some guests mentioned?

    Hi Marie i may be able to answer some questions for you. As far as the valet cost we pay 20$ for valet, im unsure about the app question though.

    Is happy hour everyday (including weekends) 4 to 7?

    Happy Hour currently is advertised as 4pm to 7pm but not sure about weekends. However Wednesday is all day Happy Hour. We went today and we're very disappointed although we love the restaurant. We arrived at 4pm and asked the hostess if we could… 

    What are the happy hour options in terms of food and drinks?

    Last month, we couldn't get a reservation nor a table so we enjoyed happy hour at the bar. The outside bar was packed there wasn't a place to sit and enjoy our food. Inside… 

    I am trying to cancel my reservation for tomorrow night and move it to next Tuesday night ? I can not see how to do this on your yelp website link. Frustrating. Al Merritt

    You cannot do it on the app you have to call because is already 24hrs before the reservation

    How we can take a reservation?

    You have to call in advanced to see if they have soace or through opentable

    How are you all able to get outdoor seating? I reserved a table for my birthday a week in advance & requested waterfront view & was told it couldn't be guaranteed. This is make or break for me. The point of coming here is to sit outside. Thank you

    It's first come first serve. Everyone wants to sit outside. So if it's that important to you I suggest you look somewhere else.

    Is happy hour still only at the bar or has it been expanded to the rest of the restaurant to allow for social distancing and COVID concerns?

    Is there a selection of non alcoholic beverages?

    Yes! They can make any mocktail you want

    What's the approximate price per person for baby shower events?

    It depends on the menu need to call 3058423615

    What's the story with Happy Hour? The outside bar is confusing.

    From what I can tell - the outside bar is first come first serve - and you're able to order food there too. Not too much room - but seems to be another option, with a great view of the bay!

    Do you have happy hours on sunday?

    4 to 7pm

    Do you have happy hours?

    Yes 4 ti 7 on the bar and Wednesday al day lady's night ,half off app and drinks and beer not wine no wine

    Is this located inside a hotel?

    No. It is on the main floor of The Mark condominium building, but the entrance is completely separate.

We called them to let them know we were running a little late and they were happy to hold our reservation for a few more minutes and it was great because this restaurant does get packed. Service is attentive and friendly... where they lost me was actually the quality of the dishes. Greek salad... was very sad. Overly ripped tomatoes, almost spoiled. Fish of the day sandwich (gyro style) was bland. It needed seasoning. NOT Good. Grouper from their specials... also flavorless. It comes over orzo which was overcooked. (Gummy)... and so on. I don't often have to write bad reviews but in this case I feel it is necessary. Way overrated. Way overpriced for the quality. Definitely not a restaurant I would recommend to anyone.

They may have been the best chicken wing I've had. The service was excellent. I accidentally dropped my cocktail and they immediately cleaned it up and moved us to another clean table. I apologized for dropping it but not once did they made me feel bad about it. Instead, one of the staff stated it was an indication of having a great time. They also replaced my drink at no extra cost. A guy, who I assumed was the manager or owner, also passed by our table and ensured we were enjoying our time. Our server mistakenly brought me the wrong drink that I ordered, but I did not mind it because I actually loved the Moroccan Mojito and instead ordered another one. I also loved how they have copper cups because it makes water taste so much better. Their attention to small details like that makes the difference.

For context, I worked in fine dining in New York and Miami for almost 20 years, so I notice the details immediately, hospitality, management presence, the energy of a room. You can usually tell pretty quickly what kind of operation you're dealing with. We were a party of five. I arrived with my four-year-old son and was greeted warmly by the hostess. That warmth ended instantly. Standing directly behind her were two managers in suits blocking the main entrance. Both looked straight at me and my child and said absolutely nothing. No hello, no smile, no acknowledgment. Anyone in hospitality knows that moment sets the tone. As an Arab woman who grew up around a culture where hospitality is everything, it was already a bad sign. We were seated outside and the vibe stayed cold. Unfortunately, the food matched it. We ordered a lot because I genuinely wanted to give the kitchen a fair shot. I grew up eating Lebanese food and what stood out most was the lack of soul. Everything felt flat, like it needed salt, lemon, brightness, that warm Mediterranean seasoning Lebanese food is known for. The tabouli was especially shocking. A $20+ tabouli with no bulgur that was so roughly chopped it was basically whole parsley leaves and slices of onion. Any Lebanese auntie would die at the sight of it. At one point I asked our server if they had harissa or any kind of spicy sauce. She said the only option was Sriracha. In a Lebanese restaurant that charges $18 for a tablespoon of hummus. An Asian chili sauce as the only option. What made it even stranger is that harissa is listed on multiple dishes on the menu, so it clearly exists somewhere in the building. I asked for the Sriracha anyway out of desperation for flavor. It never came. Same with ketchup for my toddler's fries, it took three requests. Throughout the meal I walked around the restaurant several times taking my son to the bathroom, looking around the space, even going upstairs to the lounge. Not a single person acknowledged us. Not a host, not a server, not a manager. The bar is right by the entrance and every time we looked over at the bartender and bar manager, just blank stares. At one point we were clearly standing there confused looking for the bathroom in an empty restaurant and still had to say "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" Wild. Later I walked up to the bar myself to ask if they carried mezcal. After dinner I went back to order one. Same energy--zero warmth, zero engagement. And this is with an automatic 20% gratuity already on the bill. The mezcal was a $25 two-ounce pour and I still had to ask for an orange slice garnish because no one offered it. Empty bar, two people behind it, and I still had to request it. Also worth noting, our reservation was at 5:45pm and the restaurant was practically empty. Yet I didn't see a single manager walking the floor, greeting tables, or checking on guests. I had talked this place up to my party because I'd been so curious about it for years, and it was honestly a huge letdown. If you know Lebanese food and understand Middle Eastern warmth and hospitality, this probably isn't the place for you. Expect cold, almost nonexistent hospitality and food that feels stripped of the soul that makes Lebanese cuisine special. The space is beautiful. I'll give them that. Everything else felt like a very on-brand Miami disappointment, what happens when you give people a beautiful restaurant, expensive food, automatic gratuity, and no leadership. From the lack of authenticity and attention to detail, it's hard to believe anyone truly Lebanese is behind this operation. If anything, it feels more like a polished money grab. Honestly, it might have been less jarring if they just called themselves "Mediterranean" like so many other places in this city. But if you're going to call yourself a Lebanese restaurant, the culture and hospitality should actually be there.

Tucked away in a quiet corner on the water, the moment you walk in, you're transported into what feels like an eclectic Mediterranean cave. The warm textures, glowing lights, and tranquil atmosphere instantly set the mood. It's unexpected, inviting, and the perfect escape from the city's hustle. But let's talk about the real star--the food. I had the chance to experience both the Miami Spice dinner menu and Sunday brunch, and honestly, I couldn't pick a favorite dish if I tried. Every plate was beautifully presented, full of fresh coastal flavors, and had its own unique twist. Whether you're craving seafood, brunch classics, or something adventurous, there's truly something for everyone. What makes Yaya's even more special is the experience. Thank you to Angel who is a dear friend and the guy to go see....grab a table by the water, watch the boats drift by, and if you time it right, enjoy a magical full moon night complete with live DJs and mesmerizing fire dancers. It's dinner with a show, Miami style. If you're looking for more than just a meal--for a place that captures the energy, beauty, and waterfront magic of Miami--Yaya's Coastal Cuisine deserves a spot on your list. Come hungry, stay for the ambiance, and let the night surprise you. I promise you its worth every penny!

    I visited Yaya Coastal Cuisine for brunch and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience due…read moreto the service. Our server, Anthony, was largely absent throughout the meal. We repeatedly had to go out of our way to flag someone down just to order drinks or check on our food, while noticing that nearby tables were consistently attended to without issue. It genuinely felt like we were being overlooked, which made the entire experience frustrating and uncomfortable. What made matters worse is that gratuity was automatically included, so we were forced to tip for service that simply did not meet even basic expectations. I'm not one to leave negative reviews, but this experience stood out for the wrong reasons. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works to ensure all guests receive equal attention and service.

    First before I forget let me give a special thank you to our server - Mel! She was an absolute doll…read more& so patient with our group. Overall the staff was very attentive & accommodating with our needs. From the moment we walked in & the moment we walked out there was nothing but friendly faces. Came here after baby girl's graduation from the U & took advantage of their Miami Spice Menu along w/a few items from their regular menu. You cannot go wrong & don't let the pick two cold & pick one hot item options foo you! It was plate after plate after plate of good food! So much was taken home! Also, go for their pitcher of sangria w/the white wine! Sooooo very refreshing considering the hot days of summer here in Miami. Now it is Wynwood & parking is hit or miss depending on when you go but they do have a valet parking option in case you would like to use them w/ease.

    We were loyal guests of this restaurant for almost 3 years, which makes this experience especially…read moreupsetting. During our last visit, an expensive black Prada bag disappeared inside the restaurant. At first, the General Manager, CECILIA , confirmed that we arrived with the bag and stated they were reviewing all camera footage. However, despite multiple requests, we were never shown the arrival footage or provided clear evidence proving what happened to the bag. The communication became increasingly contradictory, and instead of transparency and professional assistance, we were eventually accused of acting "fraudulently" and formally trespassed from the property. What shocked us most was not only the disappearance of a valuable personal item, but the way loyal customers were treated afterward: no transparency, no proper cooperation, no accountability, and accusations without clear proof. We remained respectful throughout the entire process and simply asked for clear confirmation regarding the footage. Instead, the situation escalated into accusations and threats of trespassing. If personal belongings can disappear inside a restaurant and management responds this way, guests should seriously think twice before leaving valuables there. At this point, we sincerely hope the restaurant owner or upper management reviews this situation carefully, conducts a proper internal investigation into how this matter was handled, and contacts us directly in hopes of reaching a fair resolution regarding both the significant financial loss and the emotional distress we experienced as a result of this situation and the unfounded accusations made against us. We are still open to direct communication with the restaurant owner or upper management in hopes of resolving this situation professionally and fairly.

    Wow this place was such a vibe! The ambiance was beautiful, the energy was great, and it felt like…read morethe perfect spot for a night out. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and cooked so well, but the lamb was definitely the standout for me. It was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor, the kind of dish where every bite just melts. We also loved the other dishes we tried and the sides complemented everything perfectly. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for both the food and the overall experience!

    We came for a late dinner on a Saturday night and were delighted to find reservation availability…read morefor the 3 of us still. We were whisked inside to the intimate, dimly lit interior with a DJ table tastefully tucked away in the back of the space. Service was welcoming but overall, not quite as warm and attentive as I've experienced at other places in town. We started off with the Turkish Manti Dumplings, which were the standout of the night. The complexity yet restraint of flavor, balancing indescribable buttery, roasted, earthy notes with a touch of umami and subtle tanginess from the yogurt. The Mezze Sampler was a nice option for trying three of the dips. All very tasty, but I've had slightly better elsewhere. The Sweet Jeweled rice was the other standout with flavor and textural variety that made each bite pop. I found the Roasted Brussels Sprouts undercooked and lacking the same level of flavor as the other plates. The weakest dish of the evening. The Grilled Whole Bronzino got top marks from the meat eaters at the table. Overall, 4/5 stars for a delicious meal but with tough competition around town limiting my ability to hit that 5.

    I returned to this restaurant after a few years (previous review below) - and it's still so great!…read more This time around to my surprise they expanded - I was introduced to a new floor plan, decor, and staff, all were incredible! The restaurant is now two floors, has different dining seating, and is beautifully decorated, which makes you feel like you've been transported to Greece. The food was a hit this time around as well- I especially enjoyed the moussaka!

    Meraki is a beautiful restaurant with truly authentic and delicious Greek food! And I'm Greek, so…read moreyou can take my word for it ;) While it may seem slightly off the beaten path right off Flagler, it's very conveniently located by the Knight Center metro stop and a very easy walk from the bridge. Also, the atmosphere they've created both indoors and outdoors really draws you in: beautiful foliage, gorgeous decor, and inviting decor. They play amazing Greek music to set the mood at a very reasonable volume so you can still hear your party. I've been for lunch during Miami spice and recently for dinner. Everything I've had was delicious with tons of flavor and huge portions. Both times I took enough leftovers for another meal! I especially love their zucchini fritters and their spread plate. All their spreads are so fresh and flavorful but their hummus especially was soo good. My husband and I shared the meat platter for two for dinner and enjoyed everything on it - the loukaniko was especially delicious! For dessert, you can't miss the galatoboureko, a sweet custard dessert with the flaky phyllo dough you know and love from baklava. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend for a lunch date or dinner date and it's super versatile: great for friends, families or romantic dates. Don't miss this beautiful restaurant in downtown!

    What a great find! We were in the area and searched Yelp. This location popped up…read more We were there during happy hour and enjoyed the outdoor patio. The happy hour menu was fantastic with all $5 plates. We ordered drinks and a couple items. Then ordered more. Awesome tasting food as well as the service. There is a parking garage directly connected and the restaurant does add 20% service tip. This spot is now in our favorites list. Make sure you stop by and give them a try. Enjoy!

    Motek is easily one of my favorite restaurants! Every meal I've had there has been incredible, but…read morethere are a few dishes that keep me coming back. The crispy cauliflower appetizer is an absolute must-order, and their warm pita with tzatziki is so fresh and flavorful that I could honestly eat it on its own. My favorite entrée is the salmon with the lemon potatoes--it's cooked perfectly every time, and the lemon potatoes are absolutely divine. To top it all off, their gelato is the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The only thing I miss is their coffee menu. They used to have more coffee options, and I was disappointed to see that they've narrowed it down to just Turkish coffee. I would love to see some of the other coffee drinks make a comeback. Even so, the food is consistently amazing, the atmosphere is beautiful, and Motek is still a place I'll happily recommend to anyone looking for a delicious meal.
