I will note it can be on the pricey side for dinner but I've heard their brunch is a hit! Our family of 9 have a pleasant evening with good service! Our waiters recommendations were appreciated as well as her honesty for portions. Notable bites: Crab cake Sushi Rosemary fries Coffee Lava cake!!! We couldn't give this an overall 5 star for simple measures including hot items presenting cold when brought to the table and price point but overall we were satisfied! We look forward to trying what their brunch has to offer!

Review of The Rusty Pelican -- Key Biscayne, Florida Aug . 15, 2926…read more I would give The Rusty Pelican in Key Biscayne a C - based on our recent experience. I ordered my steak rare, but it arrived closer to medium and had to be sent back. Unfortunately, it took approximately 30 minutes for the replacement to arrive. The second steak was better, but the delay was disappointing. The private room where our group of 18 was seated was another concern. The room was too warm (the management knew it kept say it will get cooler after 3 hour it did not happen ) and too small for our group, with two round tables that made conversation difficult. The overall atmosphere was not particularly comfortable for a group of that size. The service was also only fair. While the servers were courteous, the overall level of service did not meet the expectations I would have for a restaurant of this type. Considering the food preparation issues, the long wait for the replacement steak, the uncomfortable room, and the mediocre service, I would not recommend The Rusty Pelican for a group event or special occasion.

Dining at Joe's Stone Crab is a celebrated culinary institution experience filled with timeless…read morecharm and grand elegance. The bustling, cavernous dining room with its classic wooden accents and lively atmosphere creates an unforgettable setting for a classic seafood feast. The service was remarkably polished and attentive, carrying on decades of legendary hospitality. The food exceeded every expectation: the iconic Crab Claws were sweet, succulent, and perfectly chilled, while the decadent Lobster Mac offered ultimate rich comfort. Surprisingly, their classic Fried Chicken delivered a golden, perfectly crispy bite, and the Creamed Spinach rounded out the meal as an ideal, savory side dish.

I really enjoyed my visit to Joe's and there's a reason why it is so popular and has been around…read moreforever! Walking in you get that old school feel with the staff dressed to the tee and very friendly. They had a special pre fixe menu that was fairly priced which allowed me to try a lot of the menu instead of having to order a la carte. Our server was professional and terse but in a way that I didn't mind and he even scolded some other busboys for taking too long to clear our table which I found funny but appreciated too. I started with the Stuffies which were amazing! The baked clams were dressed up nicely and these were very tasty. The stone crabs were delicious and I loved the dipping sauce it came with. Granted we visited outside of stone crab season and so I'd love to come back when the crabs are more fresh and in season. It also came with sides of hash browns, creamed spinach, and a grilled tomato. While I appreciate the quantity and variety they gave, these sides were a miss for me. The pre fixe concluded with my choice of the Key Lime Pie which was a nice ending for the meal. Nicely balanced between tart and sweetness. My only note would be for the crust layer to be bigger since it would help balance out the pie portion a bit better. We also got the fried chicken which is a steal for only $9. Excellent and crispy skin and very moist! The only dry piece was the breast unfortunately, but otherwise it's hard to find a better fried chicken at this price.

I can't wait to go back and try more things!

When we walked in we were greeted by Sarah. And my friend who made the reservations thought she made it for this Monday and it was actually for last Monday. But Sarah said no problem will accommodate you come right in. Our waiter was Chris. I can't say enough about him. He professionalism, his attention and his friendliness. We ordered our drinks and appetizers. (See pics) Everyone of the appetizers were well presented, the taste was delicious and the portions were enough for two. I ordered the lettuce wedge with a crab cake. My friend ordered the ravioli. The ambiance is perfect for date night.

Unfortunately, my birthday dinner at Mastro's was extremely disappointing, especially considering…read morehow much money my party spent. Some of the food we were served appeared to be undercooked, and afterward, multiple people in my party, including myself, experienced symptoms consistent with food poisoning. This was very concerning and definitely not the experience we expected from a restaurant of this caliber. I called the restaurant afterward and spoke with a manager named Adam to explain what happened. His response was that he "can't do anything for me." I found that extremely unfortunate and disappointing. When guests are reporting becoming sick after dining at your establishment, I would expect the situation to at least be taken seriously and handled with care and concern. We spent a significant amount of money celebrating a special occasion here, and the combination of the food quality, several members of our party becoming ill afterward, and the way my concerns were handled left a very negative impression. I truly hope management takes this feedback seriously and looks into what happened so another group does not have the same experience.

I stopped by La Camaronera Seafood Joint & Fish Market and had a really good experience overall…read more The seafood was fresh and flavorful, and everything tasted like it was made to order. The fried items were especially good--crispy on the outside and tender inside, without feeling greasy. The service was quick and straightforward. Even when it was busy, the staff kept things moving and were helpful when ordering, especially for someone visiting for the first time. The place has a casual, no-frills market-style vibe, which actually fits the concept well. It's more about the food than anything fancy, and the quality definitely stands out. Overall, a solid spot in Miami for fresh seafood done right. I'd happily come back to try more of the menu.

I came to CVI.CHE 105 as one of the restaurant picks for my friend's bachelorette weekend…read more Since I'm currently pregnant, I couldn't enjoy many of the raw seafood dishes everyone else ordered, so I went with the Pastel de Choclo de Abuela. I'd describe it as flavorful, slow stewed beef topped with a moist, slightly sweet cornbread. It was hearty, comforting, and surprisingly delicious. I ended up finishing the entire dish since I wasn't sharing the other plates with the group. About halfway through, I felt like it needed a little something extra, and our server suggested trying their mashed limo pepper. Fair warning, it's spicy! It added the perfect kick and really elevated the flavors of the dish. Our server was incredibly attentive throughout the meal and made the experience even better. I'd definitely recommend CVI.CHE 105 for an elevated dinner, date night, or special occasion.

The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service was quite delayed.

I completely understand restaurants can get busy, but a little more attentiveness would have made the experience much better. Overall, we enjoyed our meal, the flavor was impeccable, and the dessert was the perfect!

My friend and I waited near the hostess stand for a bit and felt overlooked as everyone was understandably focused on the situation. A simple "hello, welcome, we'll be right with you" would have gone a long way. Having worked in hospitality for many years, I know things happen behind the scenes, but guest communication is so important. After a short wait, the manager stepped in, apologized, and got us seated, which I really appreciated. From that point on, the service was excellent. Everyone was attentive and helpful, and I especially want to shout out the food runner, who was personable and made a great impression. One thing that could have been handled better: our server took our drink order but never mentioned happy hour. When we later asked for the menu, we were told it was only available at the bar. Since I use a wheelchair for mobility, getting onto a bar stool would have been difficult, so I felt that a more accessible accommodation should have been offered. You'll see in my video I was the 4 top right next to the bar. That said, the food was good, and I still had a nice time with my friend. With just a little more attention to communication and accessibility, this could have been an even better experience.
