Breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner you have many option to eat from different country cuisine in this place, but at night with live music and other activities from all restaurants around make this Plaza something extraordinary to visit. Remember if you in Miami don't forget coming to Giralda Plaza.

I think this spot is an awesome and much needed addition to Coral Gables. They did a fantastic job…read moreof re modelling the whole area - with pretty trees and a lovely pattern to the tile work on the floors (it is 600 foot long). Pretty restaurant shopfronts with plenty of outside seating, making it a super cool area. As we all know the main area for shopping and restaurants is at Miracle Mile, but this is predominantly THE place you come for a tux, wedding dress or bridesmaid dress, and with Coral Gables prices to match. So Giralda Plaza is a nice alternative, with a different vibe. It is also near some pretty nice architectural buildings - see my other Coral Gables reviews, such as the tiny Pittman park for example. Giralda Plaza is walkable friendly ie no cars are allowed to travel down it and it is a great place to chill out for a coffee, people watching or meal. There is plenty restaurants and cafes here to choose from, such as - Talavera Cocina Mexicana, Clutch Burger, Coyo Taco, Espresso Cubano, Kae Sushi, Bangkok Bangkok 2, The lokal, Divino Ceviche, Miss Saigon Bistro, La Sandwicherie, Threefold Cafe, (apologise's if I missed any out) It is also a instagram worthy spot, as they regularly have features here. They had the Umbrella sky - see my pictures of that. Recently they had a gorgeous display for fall ? autumn- see my pictures for that! Such a clever marketing ploy, and it works as people definitely come for that, and then are tempted to spend money in the restaurants.

We love the Yacht Club!…read more We have friends that take us here and we absolutely always have a great time. We grab pizza, carpaccio and lomo saltado from the restaurant that's enclosed. The service is always so pleasant. Granted the last time we were there it was pretty empty and we didn't know who our server was so it was hard to track someone down to order but thankfully the bartender was available! Even with that little hiccup we still had a great time! Can't wait to go back.

Holidays in a yacht club ?! Seems like a Hallmark movie in the making set in the beautiful city of…read moreMiami. Key Biscayne Yacht Club gave the perfect atmosphere to be cozy with your family and/or friends for Christmas. I went here for a work Christmas party. I enjoyed a pour of the Faust Cabernet before and during my meal. For appetizers, I ordered their ceviche - the saltiness of the fish with the sour lime was accompanied well with the mangoes. I ordered off the menu and got the special of that evening. It was a miso glazed Halibut set on a bed of lo mein. I love how the fish was very soft and tender and basically melted in my mouth. For dessert, I ordered their seasonal sorbet to cleanse the palette. Our server was also very attentive. I believe when you are with a big group, there is a minimum of $100 to spend per person. Overall, you are paying for the experience and for the good food.

We attended a wedding reception at the Penthouse at Riverside Wharf in downtown Miami and had a…read morewonderful time. This is a great event venue mainly for a couple reasons: 1. It has excellent elevated views of the Miami skyline to the east and the Miami River, boats, and the W Flagler St Drawbridge (historical landmark, built in 1938) to the west. I believe the penthouse is located on the 10th floor of a relatively new building. 2. The venue is modern and versatile. The inside spaces (including restrooms) had a clean, updated look. For this event, there were multiple bars and food stations set up both indoors and outdoors. The dance floor was outside. The combination of string lights, rooftop patio decor, and the city skyline was beautiful. There was only one elevator to get everyone up and down, so there was a bottleneck there. They brought in a fire dancer to perform outside on the rooftop, which was really cool.

My friends and I went to The Penthouse at Riverside Wharf this weekend, and what a view!…read more The venue has great views on both sides - it has an urban background with the skyline and the freeway on one side, and an awesome view of The Wharf and waterfront on the other side. There's limited street parking, but there's an adjacent parking lot. I'd recommend using a valet service if you are hosting an event here. I absolutely loved the views here, which is why this place gets 5 stars!

We love being members here. Admittedly, if you want to access it the club weekend days in fall or…read morewinter, you're going to find yourself in the middle of a kids camp. But for dinner, cocktails and evening live jazz entertainment, you're not going to go wrong. Love the location of course and the staff is friendly and professional at all times - and I've seen them put up with some pretty aggressive and/or pushy members. Hate that by the way. Take your entitlement and your attitude elsewhere, please. The Collins Room is special - especially for dinner- although just sitting at the bar is pretty enjoyable. Bartenders are talented and gregarious- but don't push it. The beach staff also is very responsive. Membership is closed for now and personally I hope it stays that way. The Soho House down the street is a good example of how not paying attention to membership mix and volume can kill a place.

There are hundreds of different plant species throughout the garden, and we got to see so many beautiful butterflies flying around and exploring. It's also a great spot for pictures!

There's also a small gift shop where you can purchase drinks, which is VERY important on those hot Miami days. Definitely make sure you stay hydrated! Overall, such a beautiful little escape in the middle of Miami Beach. I would definitely come back!
