Ossobuco is one of my favorite places to dine in Miami, and I honestly haven't had a bad dish here…read more My favorites are the Picanha and the Harissa Tuna Tartare. The cocktails are amazing too. They're well crafted, creative, and just so good. I've had both table service and bar service, and the service has always been excellent everywhere. I may actually enjoy dining at the bar even more because you can see the open-fire kitchen up close and watch the bartenders craft the cocktails, which becomes an experience in itself. The ambiance is beautiful, and it's a place I enjoy whether I'm dining with a group or coming in by myself. The food, drinks, atmosphere, and service are consistently great. Ossobuco truly never disappoints.

After you valet, be sure to use the restrooms because it's a journey to and from your table. Now, this is where we thought we were at a self service restaurant. After being seated there was no waiter in sight, the table next to us speaking loud and clear that they have been waiting for their check for over twenty minutes. After 15 minutes, still no server in sight. I got up to go order from the bar, behind me comes our server. He took our order and brought our drinks and that was the end of him. The Pina Colada was a bit too sweet, the rosé, perfect. After we finished our drinks I went in search for our waiter once again. He was nowhere to be found, so I asked another server if we could order a salad, she insisted on finding him for us. Out of nowhere he appeared, and I no longer had any patience. We asked to move tables, for a new server and this is where a true five star service started. We ended with a fantastic, attentive and friendly waiter. He brought us drinks in a timely manner, checked up on us often and reminded us that good service does exist, just not with our first server. Overall, the service needs some serious attention here. We are not sure we would visit again. There are many other places that have great service every time not just sometimes. Cheers!

First off, the service was absolutely great! From the hostess to our server we were treated great the whole time and watched after our every need. And the ambiance was awesome, felt like being nestled away in a little green cove. I was very impressed by our server bringing our table the truffle fries complimentary after we had ordered them to start but never received them. As for the food, I started off with the frito misto and I'd say AVOID THIS! It was unbelievably salty! The sauce and lemon over it helped but wow way too salty. If you can get past that the texture was good. For my main I had the wild mushroom pizza and the truffle fries. To me, these were GREAT! The mushroom pizza was the perfect amount of truffley, would've liked a bit more of a crunch on the crust but overall good flavor. And honestly the truffle fries were the star of the meal! Crispy, flavorful, and tasted fresh. I would definitely recommend those again.

Miami has so many restaurants and bars but lacks of more wine bar offerings…read more As a wine enthusiast myself, I'm always down to try new wine places. Ruka Winewood has been on my radar for a while and I recently found out they have happy hours between 6-9pm, so what a better opportunity to give it a try. For a Wednesday night, they had a fair number of customers. I sampled their happy hour red blend pour. It was mid body, somewhat complex but low on tannins which allowed for easy and smooth drinking. The fruit content was moderate. It was the perfect wine for an early night, to sip and hang out with friends. I pretty much enjoyed the two glasses I had. Service was not the best to be honest. During the 1 hour I was there, no one checked on me. No one asked me if I wanted more wine, water or another pizza, etc. I was hopping to have their charcuterie board paired with wine, but they had no charcuterie. I asked for the pizza options and hey only had one out of the 3 options on the menu, only the cheese pizza. The pizza is not the best looking pizza, but it tasted delicious. The cheese was sort of smokey, that was delish. I would have that pizza again. Summarizing, I'm coming back pretty soon for their red wine, at $5/glass, you can't beat that up, specially when it is such high quality. I hope they have the charcuterie next time.

Dry aged feature cuts in the fridges at the front for groups looking to choose a larger cut. - Osso Bone Marrow - a very nice appetizer with tasty bone marrow marmalade with braised beef corn and chimichurri. Nice taste and mixture... chimichurri was a bit understated and could use more spice. - House Picanha - 16oz cured beef sliced and topped with herb butter shallots and sea salt. Was cooked properly and a large portion with side onion. Added truffle fries which were average imo. - House smoked old fashioned - a nice presentation and smoky infused flavour with single rock. Service (4.25/5) - attentive and friendly servers and hosts. Manager checked in as well. Team seemed to be hustling. Atmosphere (4.25/5) - nice upscale feel and lighting. Little touches like useful LED table lights, clothes trees and ample spacing between tables. Overall (4.25/5) - this is a very solid upscale choice for groups or couples. Would repeat and like to try some of the other wood fire meat choices. Worth checking out if you are looking for an upscale option.

The Ali Nazik was phenomenal. We were given a side of bread, which paired really well with the dish. The lamb was packed with flavor, and the smoked eggplant yogurt was fire. The two complemented each other perfectly. The Eggplant Carpaccio was good as well. I will say, though, that if you aren't a fan of dishes with a heavy vinegar flavor, this may not be for you. I'd also be curious to see how this dish would taste served warm. For our entree, we ordered the Beef Souvlaki, which came with six skewers of filet mignon. The beef was perfectly cooked and very tender, so no complaints there. However, the rest of the dish didn't really stand out to me. The fries were decent, but nothing crazy. As a first-time visitor, I also feel like this probably wasn't the best dish to order if you want to get a full sense of what the restaurant has to offer. One of my biggest disappointments was that the restaurant primarily had outdoor seating. Maybe it was just the night we went, but it was extremely hot and humid, and the fans in our area weren't cutting it. It was also very dark, making it difficult to see the menus and even our food. I think better lighting, especially toward the front of the restaurant, would make a big difference. The food came out very quickly, which we appreciated. I do wish our server had been a little more helpful, though. We wanted to learn more about the menu and were hoping for some guidance and recommendations, but he didn't really guide us through the menu the way I had hoped. Overall, Mandolin was a solid experience, and the Ali Nazik in particular was a standout. I'd be interested in coming back and trying some of their other dishes to get a better feel for what the restaurant does best.
