What an experience. One random Thursday we decided to go and try this place out considering all the…read morehype and the vibe was less than impressive. To start when we walked up to the restaurant, there was a pretty lady wearing a club style red dress on the phone and didn't even bat an eye when we walked in, so we didn't think she was the hostess. When we walked into the actual restaurant, it looked cool however considering the owner is Alex de Gente de Zona, the music sounded like someone turned on 101.5 Lite FM. It took about a minute for the hostess to walk in and greet us (the lady in the red dress) and take us to the table. As we perused the menu, I got excited by the selections. The server Ashley (I think that was her name) was great. Extremely personable and loved her candor about our selections and making sure we ordered enough food. However she informed us that a few of the plates we were most excited for, were no longer available and they were redoing the menu. At the end of the night the food was mediocre for the price. I'm giving it 3 stars because I might consider having drinks there but may never go back for dinner. The music started changing slightly as we were paying our bill. could have been the night? Don't know but that doesn't excuse the food not being worth the price.

We ordered two sampler dishes where a little bit of everything was served. The pork belly was my favorite along with the fried seafood.

The only thing I did not like here is the dessert. They are overly sweet, but that seems to be the case with every dessert I've tried so far in southern Florida.

Guess we came at a good time cause later we did see more people come in. For starters, the staff here were all so professional and welcoming. Shoutout to MARIA for being the sweetest! Great recommendations from her. I loved the food so much. Mix ceviche -- so refreshing and loved the variety Jalea Bocas house (fried shrimp, fried fish, fried yuca fries) -- a little bit of everything and fried perfectly. Paired with the sauces. Skirt and fettuccine -- cooked as I requested (medium). Packed with flavor. SO FREAKING GOOD. Arroz cremoso de aji Amarillo with lomo saltado -- unique dish that worked so well. Recommend! Spicy margarita -- best drink here. Mezcal mule -- my mom and I didn't really like it because it was too smoky. Maria was kind enough to swap it out for us with another spicy margarita and didn't charge for the mezcal mule. Love the ambiance. They have daily promos on some of their items so be sure to check it out. I highly recommend this spot. 10/10

Mission is a chain that has restaurants in many states. It pays tribute to those who serve our country: firefighters, police, first responders and the military. There are many photos on the wall of people in uniform, including a few movie posters, such as Tom Cruise in Top Gun, as well as badges of various military, police and firefighter branches. The first good sign for food quality is when we placed our order and was asked, if we want the brisket moist or lean. Different people like their brisket differently, no wrong answer there just preference, and I'm glad we are given a choice. The brisket is moist, as we like. the cornbread though was too dry, and the collard greens too salty. They offer six different sauces, and my fave is the Florida one with mango. While we were dining, a staff came by, and gave us two cards to welcome our first visit, with very generous offer to entice us to return. Wow, thank you! Though I have to say, even without the cards we will!

Thankfully, we still got a table right away. To drink, I had the peachy leachy, which was so refreshing. To eat, I had the Wagyu steak and noodle bowl, which was very tasty. It is very seasoned and a bit spicy so if you prefer your meals simpler, do not order this dish. I liked it but I do think if it had less sauce, I would be able to taste the meat better as the flavors can be a bit overpowering. Overall, the service was amazing. Our server was friendly, funny and attentive. It was a big party, yet there was no issue with the food or payment. There was a DJ playing music but we were able to still talk. I would definitely return.

Watching it being prepared fresh in the wheel and then tasting the rich, creamy flavor made it one of the best pasta dishes we've ever had. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and every detail of the experience showed how much pride the restaurant takes in delivering exceptional service. A special thank you goes to our server, Franciely, who truly went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. From the moment we sat down, she was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best possible experience. She took the time to answer our questions, checked on us frequently without being intrusive, and made us feel like valued guests throughout the entire meal. Her warmth, professionalism, and hospitality are exactly what great customer service should look like. By some struck of luck we had Bianca as our wheel chef, again. Months ago, when we first visited Divieto Doral, Bianca was our first wheel chef to prepare our pasta, and seeing her once again brought back great memories of that first experience. Her skill, enthusiasm, and attention to detail made the cheese wheel presentation just as impressive as we remembered. But the all star Franciely's exceptional service, and the outstanding food, it is clear that Divieto Doral is filled with amazing employees who genuinely care about their guests. The entire team helped create an unforgettable dining experience, and we cannot wait to come back. I really and truly want to to make sure my point gets across when I say "this place has been amazing to us every time we come, it's been part of the relationship me and my wife have and I truly enjoy this place". They hosted one of our first date, they hosted our valentines, and they have hosted our wedding dinner. Thank you so much to this location and its staff for everything and for the great memories. And yes... we made a reservation for next week and we plan to request Franciely! CANT WAIT TO BE BACK!

What really stood out to me was how they take relatively simple ingredients and pack them with so much flavor. We tried the Hot Maple Flatbread, Breakfast Sandwich, and Lemon Curd & Blueberry Pancake, and everything was delicious. The sausage patties in the breakfast sandwich were especially good, incredibly flavorful and probably one of my favorite things we had. The pancakes were another standout. The lemon curd with the blueberries was the perfect combination of sweet and tangy without being overly sweet. I also had the Sake French 75. They only serve beer and sake-based alcohol, but they get surprisingly creative with their mixed drinks. I honestly didn't feel like I was missing out on a traditional cocktail menu at all. The service was outstanding as well. Ogene was attentive, friendly, and gave us great recommendations, which made the experience even better. Definitely one of those places I wish I had tried sooner.
