    Went to Giselle for drinks and dinner on a Friday night and a time was had. We sat at the bar first and I had one of their signature drinks with cotton candy but i didn't care for it. It did not match the description and the cotton candy was dry. It was replaced with a glass of prosecco that was much more my speed. Everything else was delightful. Loved the covered rooftop vibe. Dj was playing hits and it wasn't too loud. Lovely decor and ambiance for sure with the hints of neon pink. Our server was amazing. He knew and explained the menu very well. My favorite entree was the lobster pasta. It was flavorful and had the perfect amount of spice. Giselle's Pearls is THE best dessert! I'd definitely go back.

    Amazing experience at Giselle. The chef's centerpiece was an explosion of flavors and easily some of the best sushi I've ever had. The Wagyu dumplings were incredible. Our server, Martin, was extremely helpful explaining the menu and very accommodating throughout the night. Great vibes, beautiful decor, and music that made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back!

    On this edition of Quarterly Homie Dinner, we hit the one year mark and decided to come out to Giselle and have ourselves a Miami Spice night. All of the homies had been here before except me, so I was curious to see if it would live up to what they had been saying. We started off at the bar while we waited for the whole crew to arrive. I had been drinking Gin before we pulled up and wanted to keep it light so I did the French Kiss, which was great choice. Once we sat down we looked through the regular menu and immediately decided we needed some Mac and Cheese, so we did two orders to start and put in our spice orders. I chose the Szechuan Calamari, Crispy Snapper, and the 24k Peanut Butter Bar. Other choices on the table were the Wagyu Dumplings, Filet Mignon, and Giselle's pearls. The mac and cheese was great, everyone was happy with it. I was kind of skeptical about my Snapper choice because I had seen the photo of the encrusted fish and I hate those kinds of dishes, but it came in thick chunks and it was also really good, and well portioned (major brownie points for that). I inhaled the calamari as well. Giselle's pearls was the stand out of the two desserts we picked. The 24kPB was good, but the pearls really hit the spot. Overall, zero complaints about the food/drinks. Big thanks to Manuel who took great care of us and was very accommodating with our party. Bartender was also a sweetheart. I think it lived up to the group's hype, would be down to come back!

    We decided to check out this beautiful and amazing restaurant. Up on the rooftop of club E11EVEN. Beautiful decor and live ambiance. Staff were very friendly and informative about the menu and drink recommendations. We went for Miami Spice and it did not disappoint. Three course menu and they were all so delectable and flavorful. I'll say this is place to go with friends and celebrate. Not too much of a romantic setting, at least on Friday night. But still is a must and I do recommend on going and checking it out.

    Had a good time at Giselle. The ambiance, service and food are very good. I don't hear about Giselle as often as I used to, but after visiting I'm not sure why that's the case. We had the lobster pasta, sea bass, and wagyu dumplings. All were very good. The mojito was also one of the best I've had in a long time. Excited to go back.

    Giselle Miami thank you for providing one of the best culinary experiences in Miami. While we were a little confused when we first arrived (we thought we were going to a club) the lady was so sweet and directed us to the elevator to the rooftop. Once we got off the elevator we were impressed with the beautiful aesthetics and the entire space overall. I can't leave this review without letting y'all know they have happy hour during the weekend! Yes, that means you can experience some of the regular menu items at basically half the price! With that being said of course we had to try the "Caviar Bump" that comes with a shot of tequila (Blanco or reposado) and Close to Midnight. With shots and drinks we were definitely ready for some good eats. I went with the Crispy Whole Snapper with an Ají Amarillo Aioli and Peruvian Salsa Criolla and my friend had the Mediterranean Branzino with Artichokes, Salsa Verde, and Romesco Sauce. For sides we shared the Pomme Puree (whipped mashed potatoes) and broccolini. Honestly, this may be the first time in a very long time where I have zero critiques/no complaints (10's across the board)! I hate that I can't remember our servers name but she was so nice and took her time to answer any and all the questions that we had. With the stellar service and delicious food, Giselle has a new customer and I will most definitely be back to visit again when I'm back in Miami.

    Dumplings are a must!

    Giselle is what every visitor to Miami expects for a fun night out with good food, people watching and music in a trendy setting. What surprised me was the excellent service, from start to finish. I arrived early and had a drink at the bar, served by a gorgeous, knowledgeable and polite bartender. As it was early, I probably paid attention to the others at the bar more than I would normally, and it was a very colorful, diverse mix. Beautiful people dressed to the nines, a few couples and a few who were obviously tourists. Great start! The highlights included the dumplings, truffle fries and Snapper. I am a French fry purist, but these changed my mind! I would skip the tuna with caviar over rice appetizer. This one hurt as it was highly recommended by our server. The proportion is just wrong. The mushrooms as a main side were also rather pedestrian. I know we had multiple desserts, but I can't remember them. A big plus for me is that we were rooftop, but it is fully enclosed. Smart and perfect for Miami's unpredictable weather. Since it's clear, you won't miss a thing.

    Went on a day trip to Miami with some friends. I've been wanting to try Giselle for a long time and they had a good happy hour so we went. The happy hour was good with drink specials $9-11 and food specials around the same prices. The snapper bites were so tasty and so was the Caesar salad skewer. We also had lobster thermodor, the Mac and cheese, and mushroom escargot. Everything was very delicious and came out piping hot. The restaurant is magical, with a dining room in the back that looks like you're in the clouds. We were going to go down to E11even, but the bouncer was really rude and even though there was nobody inside the club at 9pm, was still going to charge us $40pp to just take a look inside.

    Giselle Miami absolutely delivers on every level, this is hands down a 5-star bar experience. From the moment we sat down, our bartender Sebastian set the tone with incredible service; attentive, knowledgeable, and effortlessly cool. He guided us through the menu with great recommendations and made the entire night feel elevated without ever being over the top. We started with the Short Rib Bao Bun, which was unreal. Perfectly tender Japanese BBQ short rib with just the right balance of cilantro, aioli, and pickles. Every bite was packed with flavor. The Giselle Burger was next level. An 8 oz prime patty cooked to perfection, topped with caramelized onions and truffle aioli, paired with crispy fries that we couldn't stop picking at. It's one of those burgers you keep thinking about after you leave. And the Ají Amarillo Tiradito was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully done. The coconut leche de tigre added such a unique, slightly sweet twist that made the dish stand out in the best way. Between the ambiance, the music, and Sebastian's top-tier service, Giselle's bar is the kind of place you go for a drink and end up staying all night. We are already planning our next visit.

    Giselle Restaurant offers a truly elegant and upscale dining experience. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with warm smiles and outstanding customer service. The atmosphere is inviting, stylish, and perfect for a special night out. Our server Manuel, was exceptional !! He was very knowledgeable about the menu, made excellent recommendations and helped us choose the Chef's Centerpiece for Two. We also tried the dumplings, which were absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. One unique touch I loved was that after the meal, they brought warm essential oil towels to refresh your hands, which was especially nice after enjoying seafood. It made the experience feel even more luxurious. Be sure to save room for dessert! They have a wonderful selection, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend Giselle Restaurant if you're looking for outstanding food, excellent service, and a memorable fine dining experience. It's definitely worth a visit!!

    Beet carpaccio
    Adi O.

    I visited this past weekend and I can say honestly it's probably one of my favorite restaurants I have tried. The restaurant rooftop itself is beautiful. Great aesthetic, beautiful indoor/outdoor dinner space as well as the bar. Amazing vibes. The wait staff was incredible, very attentive and provided amazing service. The food and drinks were just wow. I think we ordered most things off the menu, and every dish I tried (minus the meat because I'm pescatarian) was very delicious. Because of this reason, they brought out an alternative to the beef carpaccio, but made with beets, the flavor profile was insanely good. I ordered a cappuccino martini- I've been dreaming about it since. The sushi, fried fish chunks, beet carpaccio, Caesar salad , creamy mushrooms, the fries, etc Everything was soooo good and I'm definitely coming back for more.

    Miami is full of popular restaurants that are very mid, this isn't one of them. This restaurant is worth the price and worth the hype. I'm a Miami local whenever a visitor asks me where to go, I tell them to come here. The ambience is very sophisticated and classy, servers are very attentive, and the food is to die for, with unique ingredients that mesh perfectly together giving you a true culinary experience- well worth the price!! The BEST restaurant in Miami.

The speakeasy atmosphere is outstanding--walking through the iconic red phone booth feels like stepping into another era, only with much better bourbon. Victoria was an absolute rockstar. She took some fantastic photos of our group (which is no small feat after a couple of perfectly made Manhattans), anticipated everything we needed, and somehow managed to make us feel like regulars on our first visit. Speaking of Manhattans... they're exactly the way we like them: balanced, boozy, and dangerously easy to order "just one more." Pair that with a great cigar, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that somehow feels both upscale and relaxed, and you've got one of the best spots in Miami to unwind. We came for a drink. We stayed for the cigars. We left wondering if we should install a red phone booth at home.

The bouncers outside were nice to us, and the line to get in was not too bad. There is only one elevator going up, but it's just a short ride up.

I don't drink alcohol anymore, but my friends were able to get attention pretty quickly from the bartenders. There was a section there where I felt like I was being packed like sardines, but once we moved we were in comfortable spot. My feet started killing me since I wore heels the whole night, so to my delight, I found out there was an area to sit, and that pretty much saved my feet from falling off. The rooftop is such a vibe.

Instead, I stumbled upon Koana Tiki Bar--a hidden little chamber of tropical enchantment tucked away from the ordinary world. As Miami's only tiki bar, Koana is surprisingly well themed. It is a smaller establishment, which explains why reservations are required, but the intimate setting only adds to the charm. Once inside, the outside world seems to disappear beneath warm lighting, exotic décor, and the unmistakable feeling that something mysterious is being prepared behind the bar. The food is available, but Koana truly shines through its drink menu. The team has clearly done its research and assembled some serious heavy hitters. My companions and I visit whenever we're in Miami, and we've sampled nearly every drink on the menu. I have yet to encounter a bad one. They are fairly priced for Miami, though their strength should not be underestimated. These are not casual refreshments--they are potent little potions disguised as tropical cocktails. The staff is always kind, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. They're happy to explain the drinks and guide you toward something that suits your taste, whether you seek something sweet, sour, smoky, fruity, or powerful enough to summon your ancestors. During my visit, I combined several ingredients from the menu into a highly experimental concoction. After one sip, my allergies vanished completely. After the second, I could smell colors. By the third, I was convinced the palm trees were speaking to me in ancient tongues. I have no idea what was in that drink, but my sinuses were clear, my spirit was elevated, and I briefly achieved enlightenment beneath a decorative tiki mask. Reservations are essential, the drinks are strong, and the bar is small--but Koana is absolutely worth seeking out. Just be certain you're prepared for whatever spirits may answer when you raise your glass.

    Can't recall ever reviewing staff and patrons, but ya kinda have to in the case of Kaona. That's…read morebecause the guests here are almost as engaged in the operation as the staff. Guess the insight here is Kaona draws folks who so totally want to be there and participate in the nightly celebrations that it becomes contagious, spreading from table to table with smiles, laughter, and cameras. Oh yeah, and did I mention the cocktails? I feel the term 'artisan' is so overused nowadays that I avoid using it, so can we just go with the Bill & Ted description that Kaona's tiki drinks are "Most Excellent!" Will non Gen-Xers get that last reference???

My all time favorite is the Glazed Salmon bowl. The Jasmin rice on the bowl just sets it off. I'm not a rice lover but I go in on this. Don't forget to sprinkle the smoked sea salt on the bowl. I also dump the chili oil too. I like it spicy. Now their happy hour...great drink and food prices. Try the spicy margarita. Yum! They also have private rooms for your entire party...just call ahead. I have hosted happy hour events here and it is always wonderful.

I find this disappointing as I always like to go to try different dishes from the standard menu. To me it shows that the restaurants that do a special menu are normally more innovative. Had I known this beforehand I would not have come. Having said that the food I sampled was decent enough. My appetizer was the Korean chicken which was plentiful. My main was the ribs. I was surprised to see that it was just that only meat. I expected there to have been a bit of a garnish or greens. Between the ribs and chicken my whole diet was meat. The dessert was two choices. I went with the chocolate cake. The hocolate cake slice was the smallest slice I've ever been served in a restaurant. I really liked the decor. I also really liked the music that was being played. Service was efficient. The ladies toilets had a damp smell. Overall I was disappointed and would not visit again.
