We came here for Sunday Brunch and according to their social media, Lightkeepers at the Ritz…read moreCarlton Key Biscayne has 2 brunch pricing options: 1) Brunch buffet with select bottomless beverages for $145/person + service charge and tax, or 2) Bottomless mimosas, bloody marys, proseco and a few other selections for $45/person and you can order food a la carte from their menu. We usually hit a few brunch buffets per year on average; In my opinion, the offering at Lightkeepers is simply not worth the cost vs. brunch experiences we've had at other Miami area restaurants. We arrived and were seated right away on the outdoor patio and this area was dog friendly with a few patrons there with their furry companions. The server was friendly and outgoing throughout our time here and asked if we were interested in brunch. She listed off the usual, standard brunch drink options, but there was nothing terribly unique or creative about any of them. The one interesting thing is that they had carafes and dispensers of most of the brunch drinks at the end of the buffet line, so I guess if your server wasn't bringing them fast enough, you could go and get your own. One nearby table paid their tab and cashed out following their meal, but continued going back to those dispensers to serve themselves additional beverages before leaving. The buffet itself was solid, featuring most of the usual American-fare items one might expect and the amount of options and presentation was good, but really wasn't anything highly impressive or noteworthy, especially considering the pricepoint - which was $373 with included service charge and tax for 2 people. For brunch, I think I prefer the following: Prime Fish - Nearly the same unlimited food and beverage selections as Lightkeepers in a beautiful setting, but about 1/2 the price. Quinto in Brickell - Cheaper, also unlimited food and drink (though not buffet-style), with many more unique and creative bottomless drinks available vs. Lightkeepers. LaMar - Costs nearly as much as Lightkeepers, but more creative food options, incredible presentation, many more creative drinks vs. Lightkeepers and one can also request nearly anything they wish from the bar for the 2 hour bottomless time period.

We are passionate about following expert award winning chefs so are critical of service, presentation and quality of food. And we travel around the world experiencing flavors of the world. Our recent experience at Novecento was spot on! Checking off all the boxes (as Paul Hollywood would say on the British Bake off ). We took advantage of the '34th anniversary lunch / dinner menu". A great 3 course meal at almost half the price and to top it off the '50% off Tuesday' special on the fabulous wine selections. My burrata and my husband's Ceviche = fabulous and generous. All 3 of us ordered NY Steak, again spot on - cooked as ordered, and a generous portion, and flavorful. I rarely order mashed potatoes and not only did I eat mine I had to help my aunt with hers too! The deserts- also something I generally skip - I couldn't resist; excellent Flan, outstanding Crepes with Dulce de Leche with spectacular vanilla ice cream. And the Wine!!! Absolutely amazing. Thank God my husband is quite a connoisseur of wines. It was fabulous to the last drop. Luis Perez was our waiter and he was truly focused on our any everyone's needs. Not missing a beat to make sure orders were paced nicely, not crowding you or rushing you - so your intimate moment was unforgettable ! Congratulations for the service and food BRAVO .

The menu is one where you have quite a few options to pick from because it's not just one or three dishes you'll eat, but you'll have to pick from one of the 3 you finally narrowed down to choose. Cocktails are great, pricing is great, and the atmosphere is beautiful. This is our go to spot on island. I'm glad we finally found a spot as we have not been happy with current selections. We've tried a few and they left us wanting. Portions are generous and the meals have been carefully prepared. Lamb ravioli with a mushroom sauce was delicate and heavenly.

What a great opportunity to get to know a small business with a huge heart! Allegra was on top of every single detail & everyone involved in making this event a pleasure left me anxious for the next one! So pleasantly surprised with the bites provided but the selection of wines & sommeliers at hand was SO impressive. The true testament to this event was the amount of times we heard Allegra's name being mentioned over & over again by the wine reps at each table... "Allegra's own private picks" or "Allegra's top choice" or "Allegra's favorite". This is how you know a small business will continue to succeed - when those that are there representing their own brands know the owners first hand! Beautiful staff, beautiful day, beautiful set up! Just beautiful. And thank you for having Aldo there representing Gin No 3 & Macallan. What a special treat to taste such an amazing whiskey like the Macallan Litha. I am a Spring/Summer Gin Gal & a Fall/Winter Bourbon Gal so these two specially selected spirits were perfection! Hoping to be back for their winter event!

We frequently patronized Vinya Table on Miracle Mile in the Gables before it closed late last year,…read moreand decided to stop here at their "Wine & Market" location on Key Biscayne for a glass of vino after having dinner elsewhere. We had a seat at the bar where the service wasn't great - the bartender/server seemed more interested in spending time chatting away with other employees and regular customers he obviously knew, while we waited long periods for him to give us menus when we'd arrived, and then to take our orders after we'd been ready to place them. Vinya is part store with loads of wines, beers, bar supplies and some foods for sale, and part wine bar/restaurant. If you select a bottle and plan to drink it here, they tack on a bit of an upcharge or corkage fee for that privilege, except on Mondays when the corkage fee is waived. We weren't as thrilled with the Wine by the Glass list here vs. the former Vinya location in the Gables. While prices were reasonable, the list was a bit small by comparison, and more than a few offerings were "rotating selections" which usually indicates you order a particular wine variety, and whichever brands they got a good deal on that week or month from their distributor, is what they'll pour for you. Both selections we had (my husband a cabernet and I a pinot grigio) were decent for the price. The staff, at least for us, used small carafes to measure out the pours so we were given an exact amount, nothing more or less. When we left at around 10:30 on that Friday evening the place was busy, with most all the bar seating and tables outside nearly full. All things considered, I'd return here when in this area.

People sensationalize this place for their shareable pancake and their burger, but I view it as a very good value option that can also serve as a crowd pleaser. They brand themselves as Cuban-American, which I appreciate because it is certainly not Cuban. They have a menu that caters to people who want deeply flavorful foods but also others, such as vegetarians. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed and sitting outside is quite enticing, depending on the weather. I've always found the service to be great as well. It is located in a beautiful, walkable area in Coconut Grove. The only downside being that parking can be difficult and expensive, but still worth it. I've had several dishes at Chug's, have enjoyed all of them but would only classify the cast iron pancake as being outstanding. I would recommend that anyone who goes here try it, as it is perfectly balanced sweetness and butter with a cornbread-like texture. The only issue may be that it is quite large for just a couple. The pan con bistec is flavorful and their fries are perfectly cooked. The side salad is worthwhile as well if you're into those, as a light alternative to fries. The cuban american sandwich was surprisingly interesting to me. At first I was disappointed because it is not on Cuban bread. However, I found it to be delicious because it is well built and the ingredients go well together. I would not say that the meats are necessarily high quality, but the flavor is there. Lastly, and unfortunately, I find the colada here to be repulsive. It does not taste like a colada. Tastes like minerals and metal and why do they serve it in a glass without a handle? I don't understand it. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a pleasant, value-oriented dining experience in Coconut Grove.
