I ordered a beet salad with some grilled chicken on the side. The price for the salad was reasonable. My fiance ordered the truffle carbonara and it was quite truffle heavy which he loved. The server was friendly. The ambiance was fancy.

Was in town for a conference and went to HK for lunch. It was surprisingly not busy. The staff is very kind, though fairly laid back for lunch hour. The interior is crisp and clean and bright. Definitely a standard I'd expect from HK. I had a lunch special which included app, entree and dessert. Everything was delicious. The salad was so good. The flavor was so good for a simple salad. The burger was a great size, full of flavor and well balanced. The sticky toffee pudding was the best part overall but that also might be because I'd never had it. Wonderful experience, and the Gordon screen at the entrance is too fun.

We recently visited Hell's Kitchen Miami to celebrate a birthday and had high expectations given the reputation and the $1,000+ spent on dinner for our group. While we enjoyed the overall experience, several service and execution issues took away from what should have been a special evening. Drink service was slow throughout the meal, and one guest didn't receive a refill until dinner was nearly finished. We were also told a birthday glass of wine would be complimentary, but it still appeared on the final bill. For the food, we ordered garlic butter for our steaks but received large portions of cold butter that hadn't melted. We also weren't informed that the filet already included garlic butter. The prawn appetizer had an off flavor, and one of the three filets was overwhelmingly peppery while the other two were properly seasoned. We ordered two bottles of wine and, due to limited tableside attention, often found ourselves refilling our own glasses throughout the evening. Overall, the food was enjoyable and we appreciated the opportunity to celebrate here. However, for a restaurant at this price point, the service and attention to detail should be much stronger. We traveled four hours for this experience and hope these issues were simply the result of an off night.

I rarely give 5 stars. This place was 5 stars. Food was amazing, all the dishes were cooked perfectly, the steaks and lamb chops melt in your mouth, the steak tar tar was great. Mac cheese was awesome, the mash potatoes were good. Add some of that garlic butter to it and it's even better. desserts were very good but that toffee cake is amazing. Lobster risotto I can have a whole pot of that. The service was great, our waitress was on point very patient, and had some fun with us. The drinks were made perfect. Expressing martini was the best I've ever had. The inside is nicely done. Ambiance was very nice from when you walk in. The photos on the wall with all the winners was cool. Sat in front and was able to see how the chefs and cooks operate was nice as well. I would definitely come back. I highly recommend for a special occasion or date night.

Watermelon Margarita
Adi O.

I really, really wanted to love this restaurant because I love all Gordon Ramsey's shows and have been wanting to come for a long time, unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations. The restaurant itself was nice, with an open view of the chefs with blue and red bandanas preparing the food. The staff were friendly and our waiter was knowledgeable. I ordered a watermelon margarita to begin with and it was soooo delicious. Appetizers: We ordered scallops, chimichurri prawns and the meatballs. I couldn't really enjoy the scallops because they had bacon pieces (I don't eat meat) but I did taste the pea puree and it was it exactly how I had imagined it tasted. Really good! The prawns were very good as well. Entree: my husband had the beef Wellington and I ordered the lobster risotto. I was disappointed when the waiter told us the lobster risotto wasn't available due to issues with the lobster. My husband's opinion on his beef Wellington: too raw and too cold. (I wish it were like TV when they send it back and yell at the chefs just for show lol). Though the Mac and cheese was sooooo good, I'd order that again! I'm not sure I would come back for a second time unless Gordon Ramsey himself asks me to and is present while I'm at dinner :D

Food and service were great. Menu items are overpriced. Overall not bad if you're sat by the kitchen.

Lobster Risotto
Jay S.

We (my partner and I) came here with high expectations since it's a Gordon Ramsay establishment, and ended up deciding that it wasn't worth the price or the hype, unfortunately, mainly because many of the dishes tasted mediocre. While I still thought that most food still tasted better than that in many restaurants I have been to, it was not as good as the food in many restaurants that had similar price ranges as this one. The best dishes in our opinion were the lobster risotto and the crispy salmon, both having good flavor from the lobster and the salmon themselves, and the green curry next to the salmon offering a distinct combination since the flavor profiles contrast was huge. The curry itself tasted pretty standard. The risotto had enough buttery taste and I could taste the truffle in it as well. After that, the crab roll had a good amount of mashed avocado which wasn't common but it worked pretty well. The beef wellington was way too salty, mainly because of the red wine demi-glace and the mushroom mixture in the wellington itself, and the amount of root vegetables was so tiny. The steak sandwich was very filling and had an abundant amount but the steak meat didn't even taste seasoned, and the mustard dominated the flavor way too much to the point that it made the sandwich lose its unique taste. The sticky toffee pudding was so dry and plain inside that tasting the mixture itself without trying it with the ice cream or the caramel just didn't work. My partner and I would've both wanted it to be a bit crispier which would create a good textural contrast. Overall we had concluded that for the amount of money we had spent, we wouldn't recommend this establishment or return, but I was still grateful that I finally had the chance to try the famous Beef Wellington finally. The steak inside did taste good, and I can cross this off my bucket list.

Tofu rice
Amira I.

We tried this restaurant for the first time. It wasn't very busy, and the ambiance is really nice. When we arrived, there was no one at the front to check us in, which was a bit odd. We had to wait a few minutes before someone came over and seated us. Our server was good, but overall the service could have been better--I also had to wait quite a while for my wine. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the lobster risotto, filet mignon, tofu rice, and the fixed three-course meal. The tofu rice was much too salty due to extra soy sauce. My steak wasn't the best I've had, but it was still decent. The Brussels sprouts were good, though the potatoes were disappointing. The tuna tartare was enjoyable, and the desserts were excellent. For five people with drinks, the total bill came to about $1,000. See photos of the food below.

With all the hot temper and F-bombs attached to the brand of Gordon Ramsay, this Miami outpost feels surprisingly flat. Not terrible--but not impressive. In contrast, the nearby production of Moulin Rouge! The Musical completely made my day. What We Ordered ~ Seared scallops ~ Short ribs ~ Salmon ~ Two house reds The best part of the table? The thin-stem Rona glassware, and the Anfora earthy plates. Wine-wise, the DAOU Vineyards Cabernet clearly outperformed the Terrazas de los Andes Malbec. Food ~ Scallops: Fine--competent, but forgettable. ~ Salmon: Good, though I still think Trump International Beach Resort restaurant does it slightly better. ~ Short rib: Tender, but oddly lifeless--almost cardboard-dry (柴). Sides: The green vegetable was overly salty; the potato cake completely flat. This is the core issue: everything is technically "there," but nothing has energy. Space & Service The entrance on Biscayne Blvd Way draws in first-timers, but if it's not in use, it should be clearly marked--right now, it just confuses people. The reception area felt understaffed: one person juggling guests and phone calls. By 6:15 pm, the dining room wasn't even half full, which adds to the slightly underwhelming atmosphere. Valet parking is available. Context & Contrast That global, high-energy image makes this Miami location feel even more subdued--almost like a brand extension rather than a destination. Name & Expectation "Hells Kitchen" inevitably brings to mind Hell's Kitchen--a dense, vibrant stretch of Manhattan from 34th to 59th Street, west of 8th Avenue. Gritty, energetic, alive. It's interesting that Ramsay uses that name here, because the spirit doesn't quite carry over. Final Thought I couldn't help but think of Anthony Bourdain--someone who cared deeply about soul in food, not just performance. This feels like performance without quite enough soul. Bottom Line A polished brand name with flashes of competence--but lacking the intensity, personality, and edge you expect. Not bad. Just not worth the hype. We dined there last week, March 17. His staff mentioned, almost casually, that he drops in from time to time--but is currently in Shanghai, cooking during the Formula 1 weekend. As it happens, a friend of mine is there for the race. He ran into Ramsay's team, who, in a small-world flourish, invited him to this Miami outpost. I'm curious what he'll make of it: stay tuned. The booth seat needs better cleaning.

Beautiful table setting

Love this location as much as I love the Vegas location. Sure the surrounding area isn't as fun as Las Vegas, but I found the food and service to be top tier. My bestie and I enjoyed an awesome Virgin Voyages cruise and then booked a reservation upon our return to Miami to celebrate her birthday before we returned home. She had been dying to go to an HK and this was perfect! I only had the Vegas location to compare it too. I was totally ready and happy to accept the challenge. Haha Here's what we ordered. My bestie really wanted to try the Beef Wellington, so she ordered that. I opted for the Curry Salmon this time, just to try something new. We shared the Lobster Risotto and the Sticky Toffee Pudding. . All of it was divine! None of it disappointed! I highly recommend the Curry Salmon if you are going for something different than the Beef Wellington, And, to me no visit is complete without an order of both the Lobster Risotto and Sticky Toffee Pudding. In addition, we got a nice complimentary sweet birthday dessert. It was a wonderful evening! Pls check out this location. Highly recommended!

I would for this a 1 star but this place is beautiful. However we had a horrible experience from food to service. We were sat immediately and to a great booth that let us see the cooking stations. The server came right over asking us what we wanted. We ordered the Pumpkin soup, which tasted like baby puree. It had no flavor whatsoever. We then ordered the beef Wellington, Mac and cheese side dish and braised short rib. Upon ordering the beef Wellington they do tell you it will be Medium rare so this is nice. Oh what a mess that was. We split both entrees and so I began to eat my half and was totally turned off that such a restaurant would have such a horrible quality of meat since they cut it all themselves. (See photos) I showed the manager and she said they would take care of it. I didn't even want it anymore. Between the flavor lacking and the poor quality of meat it was not worth it. Then we had the short ribs. They were hard, it's like they weren't cooked long enough. They needed to be cooked a lot longer. We couldn't even eat it was like eating card board. The only things that was good was the Mac and cheese side dish. That was delicious. We got the sticky toffee pudding and that was ok. Worth trying but nothing special. Our expectations were too high I guess going to other Gordon restaurants. But still I could get better food at outback.

Salmon and Brussels sprouts
Angelina E.

The service, ambiance, and decor was 100/10. Make sure you make a reservation, as I believe they are required. I truly felt like I was teleported into the Hell's Kitchen TV show. From the decorative pitchforks to the photo wall filled with chefs, the attention to detail was next to none. This location had a downstairs and upstairs, and we were sat downstairs in the main dining room with views of the red and blue kitchens. I started off with the scallops, which was paired with a helping of corn, braised bacon lardons, and pickled shallots. These were cooked to perfection and extremely flavorful. I could've eaten five more! I chose the crispy skin salmon. This was when the salmon was served with lentils and veggies, and I think they might have recently changed it to sticky rice instead. The salmon was great, but slightly underwhelming. I think I'd go for the chicken or branzino if I ever make my way back here. For the prices, this is definitely a spot for special occasions and not just for a casual Friday night dinner.

Beef wellington
Ed G.

Service was so fast and so quick. How did the beef wellington come out so fast and perfect? We were in and out in an hour and this perfection came out 20 minutes after ordering i couldn't believe it. Side note, this place is great for vegetarian. The lobster risotto was half price which honestly matches the ingredients. The lobster is definitely the most expensive part.

Are kids of all ages allowed?? I saw other locations was fine. Thought it would be good for brunch with our toddler?

Kids are welcome. I did not see any when I visited, but it was early for dinner. I'd think a kid old enough to watch the TV show might enjoy it, otherwise not sure it's great choice for families.

Do they offer a children's menu?

They offer sides that would more equip to be portion sides for kids however no kids menu.

Is it dog friendly?

I highly doubt unless it's a service animal... I did see an outdoor patio on the second level so possibly out there

Where do you park? Do they valet?

It does have valet parking and I would suggest using it.

Wil they do 2 separate checks for a table.?

Yes

Will they hold your luggage while you dine?

Not sure

What time is the lunch menu until?

2:30 every day. For Red or Blue sides

Can you bring your own cake if you're celebrating an occasion?

Not sure

Is the bar first come first serve? Can we go without a reservation perhaps just to have drinks and maybe an app at the bar?

Yes, bar is first come first serve

The drinks were really good! My only complaint is the price. Of course handcrafted cocktails are expensive, especially in Miami, but wow. The drinks were really small, and had so much ice that they ended up being not very many sips at all.

The bar was lit, poppin' and vibrant. We were waiting by the end of the counter where they checked out other patrons near the sitting area. We were overlooked many times... I locked eyes with one of the bartender and she completely looked away from me.. several times :( took about 15 minutes and we reached our arms out and flagged bartender Reilly. Her greeting and attention was genuine so I was happy to get her. Unfortunately, she got busy and we got the initial lady that ignored us. She was not kind, not attentive and didn't really want to help us - she was very fake. With that being said, we had to remind her of our drinks after 20 minutes of placing the order, in which she responded with an attitude "it's being made. We're busy" -_- -_- :( the attitude was not needed. We watched others that came in before us being served. :( I was completely annoyed and upset. She didn't even bring the drinks to us like the other bartenders were doing, she made us get it. Poor service from this one bartender while the others were happy and servicing their patrons. After our first drinks, I noticed she spoke to her colleague and he came over and asked if we wanted to close out.. . Wtf kicking us out? We said no and he opened a tab. When she noticed we were ordering more, she was a bit more attentive. So wrong. Luckily, the drinks were delicious. Perfect. We did end up coming back to the Lasseter and got a gentleman bartender that was so kind and attentive and made our drinks even better! The attention to detail and love he made in my drinks, so that is why I decided to make make this a 3 stars rather than two. He saved this place. The toilet sitting area is very warm, not very air conditioned properly so expect to be a little warm especially after a couple of sips. It's also the walkway to an actual big restrooms for the whole building. The drinks are VERY pricy but the setting is perfect and makes up for it. Unfortunately, the service was not up to par. Disney priced drinks without the Disney customer service. Do I want to come back? Yes. Am I going to be picky with the vibes coming from the bartender and chose who to go to? Also yes. Hopefully, I can increase the rating.

The biggest thing for me was the overall energy and engagement from the staff. I'm naturally a pretty social and engaged person, especially when I'm sitting at a bar, and I made an effort to interact with the bartenders. I just didn't really feel that same engagement coming back. Nobody was necessarily rude or disrespectful--it just felt disconnected, and the energy was a little strange to me. I also didn't realize until I tried to pay that the bar doesn't accept cash. Maybe that was posted somewhere and I missed it, and once they told me, it wasn't a big deal. But little things like that, combined with the overall interaction, affected the experience. Another thing I didn't realize until receiving my check was that gratuity was already included. I wasn't verbally told about it, and I personally didn't see it disclosed anywhere beforehand. From my understanding, an automatic gratuity or service charge is required to be disclosed to the guest before the purchase, not something they should only discover when they receive the check. Maybe there was a notice somewhere that I missed, so I'm not saying there wasn't one, but I definitely wasn't aware of it. I think that's an important thing for guests to know upfront, especially because someone could easily add another tip without realizing gratuity was already included. Ironically, the one person I genuinely connected with and had a good conversation with was another guest at the bar, not a member of the staff. That interaction actually helped make my time there more enjoyable. For me, hospitality is about more than serving a drink. Especially when someone is clearly open, friendly, and trying to engage, that's an easy opportunity to create a connection and turn a first-time guest into someone who wants to come back. I felt like I gave plenty of opportunities for that interaction, but it just never really happened. I still had a good time because I can have a good time pretty much anywhere, and nothing happened that would make me say Lost Boys is a bad bar. It just didn't feel like the staff cared much about enhancing the experience beyond serving the drinks. So four stars because I respect what the place is and can see why it works as a neighborhood bar. It just didn't give me a reason to come back, and personally, I don't think I would.

Anywayssss, when I caught the winds that there was a new sound bar in downtown, I NEEDED to be there. The concept of the sound bar is some type of Asian thing, I don't really know. But where in Asia there might be a few monks sitting around in silence listening to gongs or whatever, Miami goes BIG! Finding parking in downtown Miami on a Saturday is virtually impossible unless you bribe a valet servant with cash. So that's what I did. My ladyfriend and I arrived early to the sound bar, and there was already a hearty swarm of brodents and thots lined up to get in. Some crack head outside was shouting about IPA's. I told the door servant that I knew the DJ or something like that, and he let us right in. Once inside, the bar has that edgy big city, small hallway type of vibe. You could barely stand around in there, let alone get to the bar to order a drink. The mix of flapping gums and mixologists concocting cocktails made for a cacophonous distraction from the actual "music" we were there to "listen" to. My ladyfriend and I ducked out across the street to Black Market Miami Bar where the game was on and you could actually order a drink that didn't cost $50+. After a few libations, we headed back to Miami Sound Machine Bar (they need to put 'Miami' in every bar's name down here in case you forget where you are). There was a weird looking guy playing depressing vinyls with singing in different languages. I was more in the mood for something upbeat and groovy like salsa or merengue that I could dance to with my girls. Although I did hear the 12" Andrew Weatherall remix of Happy Mondays "Hallelujah" at some point, a staple at the Haçienda nightclub in Manchester - an institution that shook the music world and changed club culture forever. The head servant at the bar looked like Nirvana (yes, one man looking like a whole band). He was jaded and rude. I don't blame him! As the night wore on, the crowd got larger and more deplorable, and the room got smaller and smaller. I got stuck in an awkward conversation waiting to use the bathroom. I don't think sound bars are for me. Pros: The bar across the street had really fair drink prices, and the servants are polite and efficient. Cons: the ratchet yuppies that inhabit Miami's nightlife, always on the prowl to ruin a subculture with their tackiness.
