Chef Mueller and me
Donna B.

Ok I'm totally bias on this one. Chef Mueller had Composition in Reno a few years ago. I loved his weekly changing small plate menu. So much I believe I ate there weekly. When I discovered we'd be driving near his current restaurant in Miami Beach, I made a point to stop in, eat and say hi What a great open air restaurant. It's all the way to the back of the hotel next to the pool along the ocean. Very modern decor that will soon be having some renovations. When we arrived Chef met us and had us seated. I asked for suggestions. He recommended just about anything on the menu. We shared a couple of plates. The bacon cheeseburger was just as juicy as I remember- two napkin juicy. The fish tacos were huge, crunchy and buttery. I have to say better than the ones at DJ Clams in Key West. Topped the afternoon off with the chocolate bomb. I could have sampled the entire menu to bring back memories of his flavors. The service was fantastic, waters always full and empty plates picked up quickly. I recommend if in the area check it out and say hi to Chef Mueller

Great service , awesome buffet. Sweetest fruit. Being a southern lady , Oatmeal is a staple,so I'm always an oatmeal sceptic in restaurants, but , it was delicious. The coffee, the bread, the meat, the eggs, quesadillas, oops I'm too full.

Mad Men decor vibe

Let me start off by saying I have yet to have a meal here but I have had several signature cocktails and let me tell you they were all a tasty success! My favorite was the Janeiro, if you like a little bubbly in your drink like I do, than you will want to make this your first selection. This cocktail not only delivered on taste but smell as well with a few crushed leaves of rosemary topping off the little pool of prosecco bubbles The light scent of rosemary right before you take each sip is so refreshing and adds another dimension to this drink. The Floridian was also a great sipping experience and offered a sweeter pop to my palate. The decor of the bar and restaurant is a straight up modern take on a Mad Men vibe. That vibe is carried out not only in the restaurant but throughout the breeze way of the James Hotel as well. So if you are looking for a chill place to take down a few libations and appreciate a retro surrounding, then stop by the James Royal Palm Hotel. I can't wait to return to the FC to sample their delicious menu offerings. http://www.florida-cookery.com/menus/dinner/

What can I say!? This place is great!!! We had dinner reservations there in celebration of our 17th anniversary. The entire staff makes sure you feel welcomed and comfortable. The restaurant itself is located in the James Royal Palm hotel. It's a very sophisticated and inviting atmosphere. We were warmly greeted by the hostess upon arrival. The teamwork between Jaela, Matthew and Davis, was outstanding. They made sure everything was well at all times and helped to make our anniversary special. We ordered the empanada appetizers, as well as the guava glazed ribs. Our entrées were super delicious. Especially the grilled Cobia with a yuca patty accompanied with one of the most flavorful curry sauces I've ever tried. My compliments to the chef! For dessert we tried a chocolate cake with a delicate frosting and some coconut flakes. The generous piece of cake came with salted caramel ice cream, an assortment of honey roasted nuts and some caramel sauce. It was simply divine. Our overall experience was excellent and I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

The ambiance is nice very polite staff but a small menu & the octopus was not good. The pomegranate cucumber mojito us divine! Good desserts as well

fish would've tasted better had they fried it to order. tasted like it had been fried earlier in the afternoon. also, too many jalapeños.

hotel food never gets me that excited. we ordered the fish tacos as we wanted to stay really close to our hotel (this place is in our hotel.. as close as you can get) since we had to catch a flight soon thereafter. the fish were obv fried at an earlier time as the outer layer was not very crispy and the fish was not flaky. it would've made a huge difference if they had just fried to order. the serving size is very large, three tacos per order. and for ~$18 ($16?). if i had to do this over, i'd have gone elsewhere, but due to my circumstances i had to visit this establishment. service is also MIA at times

Awesome!!! We went for a late lunch.. Sat outside overlooking the pool and ocean... Very relaxing. Te place has a very relaxed and clean vibe.. not pretentious or trying to hard to impress. The menu is really really creative! We wanted everything! Ordered the conch chowder (family recipe from 1948) and the shaved hearts of palm salad. Both were presently beautifully and tasted even better... Then got "Schrager" burger.. 2 thumbs up! GF got the special fish sandwich.. Fresh and perfectly cooked.. Dessert was the kicker.. We got the banana, caramel, pecan bread pudding.. It was insane! One of the best desserts I have EVER eaten..Don't pass on it!! Just opened and I'm sure it will be an instant hit.. Go for lunch or dinner.. you will not be disappointed.

Seared Tuna, catch of the day. Very yummy!

The space is pleasant and well designed--more casual than formal, but still inviting and comfortable. We opted for the 6-course menu. We considered the 9-course option, but the additional items included oysters, foie gras, and clams, which are not our preference. Overall, every dish was excellent. The execution, presentation, and flavor were consistently impressive. The agnolotti was a standout--rich, balanced, and full of flavor. The pavlova was my favorite, with a unique texture and flavor profile that really stood out. The lamb was also very good, though I would have preferred a slightly crispier skin, as it felt a bit soggy. Some of the courses were more like amuse-bouche--very small, one-bite portions that are usually complementary in a tasting menu. Because of this, the experience felt closer to a 4-course meal, including dessert. The pacing between courses was occasionally too long, especially considering the one bite size of some dishes. Based on that , I would prefer to stick with the à la carte menu on a future visit.  For drinks, some of us chose cocktails while others selected the wine pairing. The wine pairing was excellent--well curated, generously poured, and fairly priced. I would definitely recommend it. The cocktails, however, were less consistent. The Facundo and the Corn Whisper were too sweet for a dinner setting, the Heat Wave was too high in acidity, and the "signature" Old Fashioned felt standard. Cocktails also took too long to arrive, although the service made up for the delay by offering one complimentary. Service overall was excellent--friendly, attentive, and very detail-oriented. The presentation of each dish was also carefully executed and added to the experience. Most importantly, the food here is outstanding--easily among the best in Miami. This is definitely a place worth visiting, and one I would happily return to.

Happy hour clocks in at $12 for food, $12 for all house cocktails, $10 spritzes, and a flat $6 for all beer, which in Miami Beach feels almost suspicious in the best way possible. I kept it simple with an ice cold Peroni while my wife went for the Giardino 75, a gorgeous little spritz built on Empress Indigo Gin, St. Germain, mint, lime, and prosecco. She loved it. The color alone was worth the ten bucks, but it actually drank as good as it looked. For food we shared the Bolognese Grilled Cheese and let me tell you, this thing punches well above its $12 price tag. Thick cut brioche toast, griddled until the edges go deep golden brown, stacked over a rich slow simmered bolognese with cheese pulling through every bite. Dusted with parmesan and fresh herbs, plated with cherry tomato skewers that added a nice little pop of acidity. Comfort food dressed up for a night out. Service was attentive and easy, drinks came quick, plates came hot, and nobody made us feel rushed even sitting through happy hour. The room itself has that playful Sicilian energy with the Moor head planters and bright touches throughout, which fits the vibe of the menu perfectly. Would I make a special trip back to Miami Beach for it? Probably not from Fort Myers, but if you're already in the area during happy hour, this is one of the better values you'll find on the beach. Solid four stars. Good drinks, good food, great specials, and service that actually showed up.

I ordered the avocado with poached eggs (served on the gluten-free bagel thin), and it was incredible. The eggs were cooked perfectly, yolk bursting just right, and topped with fresh arugula and herbs that made every bite flavorful and fresh. Presentation was just as beautiful as the taste. My coworker had the grilled cheese and fries and loved every bite as well. Food came out quickly, everything was delicious, and the experience felt easy and thoughtful from start to finish. Huge bonus: they serve brunch-style options all day until 4pm, which is perfect when you're traveling or craving breakfast at unconventional hours.
