Arrived at Gramps, valeted the suv for seven bucks (!) and were ushered to a four top near the deejay booth outside. It wasn't too humid and the energy of the place was buzzy and fun. Our fabulous server JC brought waters and iced tea. Cannot say enough about her, JC. Perused the menu: I started with conch fritters for the table. The Dads ordered the grouper dinner and a smash burger. I opted for the blackened grouper sandwich and fries. JC steered me to the roasted potatoes with a spicy jalapeno sauce and she was correct. My dining partners gave big thumbs up regarding their dishes. My fish sammie was topped with pikliz, a spicy slaw. I devoured it. To end it all, a slice of key lime pie with a torched meringue! Out of this world. Let's talk about the music. The deejay Chris played remixes of familiar songs that added brilliantly to the ambience of the visit. Plus he entertained the kid with earphones for him to hear the music. Magical. Thank you. I must say that I was impressed by the quality of the food. If I was younger, I think that Gramps would be a fun ride to work at.

Taking off a star because it is SO hot and it's not really somewhere you can go when it's raining. But for the lobster roll alone?? 100% worth it.

The restaurant is on a UM campus, and can be a bit of a challenge to find. It's also not quite a restaurant, more like a cafeteria. But the view is beautiful, and the food was pretty great. They have a good selection of items for lunch at reasonable pricing. I got a chicken Caesar wrap with tots. So many tots and SO good. My husband got the fish tacos, which were delicious. My daughter got the chicken tenders basket. It came with 4 tenders, and they were big! The fries were also great here. I can't speak to the bar, since it wasn't open when we were here.

Aaron is wonderful to work with, communicative, and super accommodating. Whether we needed to bring our own little desserts or to come see the space set up for someone else's wedding, he always made it work for us. He worked with us to customize our menu and we were super happy with how the food turned out. They can do a lot in house, cutting down the need for more vendors and planning and making the whole thing super easy. For us, buffet dinner, appetizers, dessert, open beer and wine bar, linens, tables/chairs, and venue rental were all included in one very reasonable fee. They're easy and pleasant to work with, and if that wasn't enough, the waterfront view is incredible. If you come during a grad student happy hour, just know that the place cleans up into a beautiful and classy venue very easily. A million thanks to Aaron and team for a wonderful experience start to finish!

Still open Wednesday through Friday and completely grad student run, this waterfront bar has a more laidback feel than other swanky places on the key, with the benefit of $5 local crafts. While the tide was too high to walk out on the beach, the sunset was incredible and we were able to secure a table on a busy Friday night for four overlooking the water. This bar also serves food in a cafeteria style like kitchen, that is open as long as the bar is (til 10pm I believe). It's a fantastic place to bring newcomers to Miami if they love the beach, brews, and something a little more low key than a south beach/brickell experience!

The drinks are pretty small and pricey, but they are strong and tasty. You're really paying for the location and atmosphere.

Definitely don't come hungry, but it's worth visiting for drinks, live music, and one of the best sunset views in Miami.

We never felt rushed to leave after our meal, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Though it's a bit far from home, if I find myself in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to stop by.

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. We'll definitely be back--and hopefully Victoria will still be there to remind us that "one more Manhattan" is always a questionable life decision.

The food options sound delish and the sliders and pizza seemed to be a hit as we saw that mostly. We were here for drinks though and we stuck to it. Only down fall for us is that we aren't cigar smokers, so the room was filled with it as we didn't know its a cigar lounge as well, but to each his own. Come drink eat and ber merry!
