the Steak Tartare appetWe enjoyed several visits to Lido Bayside Grill during our three-night stay at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach. The waterfront setting is what really makes this restaurant and bar special. With views across Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline, it's a wonderful place to relax, enjoy a drink or meal, and watch the changing light over the water. Lido offers a weekday happy hour Monday through Thursday, from 4-6 p.m., with $12 cocktails. Considering that cocktails at some of the other Miami Beach hotels we visited were considerably more expensive, we appreciated the opportunity to enjoy drinks at a more reasonable price. We tried the Espresso Martini, Lido Mule, and The Standard. The drinks were good, although the strength varied a bit between visits. We also had breakfast at Lido, using the $30-per-person breakfast credit included with our American Express Hotel Collection reservation. I much preferred enjoying breakfast overlooking the bay rather than eating in our hotel room. We had dinner on a weekday evening. We split the Salt-Roasted Beet Salad, which was huge and very yummy, with lots of generous chunks of beets. We were so glad we shared it! I ordered the Steak Tartare appetizer as my entrée, although it would have been a good size to share as an appetizer. I liked it, but toward the end, the Dijon mustard zing became a bit much for me. My husband had the Pan-Roasted Chicken, which was half a chicken, juicy and served with a nice chimichurri sauce. We were both too full for dessert and topped off our evening with a visit to the spa, which was open until 10 p.m. The food and drinks at Lido were enjoyable, although I wouldn't say they were the main reason to visit. For us, it was the combination of the beautiful waterfront location, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly service that made Lido memorable. We appreciated the staff who took great care of us for the Happy Hours and dinner and especially Eric, who was our waiter for two mornings during our stay at The Standard. Lido is a lovely place to linger over a drink, enjoy the bay breeze, and watch the boats and changing colors of the sky. Even if you're not staying at The Standard, it's worth considering for its beautiful setting, especially during happy hour or around sunset. izer read more

I went here to celebrate a birthday. We were a table of 6. To start off the only parking available is Valet. If you go during Miami Spice you will pay $25, however, you must inform the valet that you are there for that. Otherwise, you will be charged $45. The entrance to this restaurant is stunning. With a beautiful green backdrop that makes it feel like you got transported from Miami to Italy. The views are magnificent since you are looking into the ocean. As for the food, we got the Miami Spice which included a choice between guacamole and a salad. A panini or a spicy rigatoni. Sorbet of the day or another dessert choice. The guacamole was quite delicious. I went with the panini which to my surprise came with fries which was a great surprise. I enjoyed the panini and the size was perfect. For the dessert I ordered the other option which I found to be super tasty. The rest of the table got the spicy rigatoni which nobody was amused with. It tasted like it was just microwaved and it lacked cheese (we asked for extra cheese ourselves!). As for the service, there is a 20% automatic service charge. We found the service to not meet that automatic charge. It was slow. On multiple occasions we did not have water. For a table of 6 you would expect for two waters to be left for refills. However, we were sharing only one which meant we were without water on a Miami sunny day for longer than we would have expected. The time between each plate was also very lengthy. It took very long to go from the appetizer to the main plate and to even the dessert. I would like to mention that the restaurant was nowhere near busy. It was a 30% filled at the time we went so I can only imagine the wait time if it was actually full. Overall, I would recommend to go for the vibes, the atmosphere, the stunning pictures and to try out the Miami Spcie menu! read more

Unfortunately, my experience at Lido Restaurant was very disappointing. The service was extremely slow, and the wait for our food was unreasonable. On top of that, we constantly had to ask for water refills because our server kept disappearing and was rarely available when we needed something. The lack of attentiveness made the entire dining experience frustrating. When dining at a restaurant, especially one with high expectations, good service and reasonable wait times should be a priority. Unfortunately, Lido fell short in both areas. What should have been an enjoyable dining experience turned into a disappointing one. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and works on improving the service. The ambiance was super nice since we were looking over the ocean. read more

One of the best lunch with a view spots in the area. Lido is very well decorated from the moment you walk in from valet until you are seated. There are swings , statues, shrub lined walkways and a fun astrology call box. It was a sunny day with a bit of wind but a perfect day to be outside. We were seated promptly, greeted and offered with a few waters. We ordered the beet salad with blackened chicken, the octopus and a few drinks. Everything was delicious and fresh. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Endless water views from just about every table and very cute yellow and stripe furniture fill the outdoor dining area. We definitely recommend a stop here for lunch and a beautiful view. Cheers! read more

I live across the street. This is my dining room when I do not have to cook. Great setting. Terrific staff. The menu gets better and better.

I went on Saturday, and the weather, views, and atmosphere were beautiful. The service was excellent, but the menu felt too simple. I would have liked a little more variety. read more

I'm gonna start this review with the good. The staff were wonderful. They were attentive and very nice, and even apologetic about where they had to seat me because of the rain. (I came because of the water views but the patio was closed cause of weather). Now the food was very meh. I ordered pasta di mare and it was not great, just good enough to barely eat. The sandia refresher was bad, I couldn't even finish it. It was like something mixed in was either old or stale as it had a horrible aftertaste. However I was celebrating my birthday so they offered me a free dessert. I chose the lemoncello cake and it was delish! Ate every crumb. I would come back simply because the restaurant is beautiful, but maybe just appetizers or small bites. read more

The Standard is one of my favorite staycation spots, so when a friend invited me for a Mother's Day dinner I was genuinely looking forward to a relaxing, pampered night out. Unfortunately, it didn't quite land that way. It started before we even sat down -- my friend had been at the pool after her spa service and couldn't get a server's attention despite flagging down several. Not the vibe you want going into a special dinner. Once we were seated, the tuna carpaccio was unavailable, so I went with the hamachi crudo. It was delicious, but the figs were noticeably hard. We asked about the branzino and whether it needed a side -- we were told it really didn't -- and then it came out as literally just fish on a plate. My friend ordered a side after the fact, and it took a long time to arrive. To make it worse, our silverware was cleared too early, so we sat there with food in front of us and nothing to eat with. I had the 3 cheese ravioli -- the short rib sugo was highlighted on the menu, but given the price point, the short rib itself felt like more of a garnish than a feature. Some items were comped and the staff apologized multiple times, which was appreciated. But for a Mother's Day dinner at a place with such good memories attached to it, it just felt like a letdown. Hoping this was an off night, because I want to love this place. But it's hard to recommend right now. read more

The food was extremely disappointing. I was served completely undercooked chicken with visible blood, which is completely unacceptable, especially at a restaurant with these prices. What made the experience even worse was the lack of response from the staff. When I expressed how unacceptable the food was, there was no apology, no concern, and no real effort to make the situation right. They even offered to pack the chicken to go, which I found unbelievable. When I received it, the chicken was completely burned. I paid a $250 bill for an experience that was honestly shocking. I could buy a much better-quality chicken at Whole Foods for around $12. The standards at The Standard are really low. Unfortunately, this experience was nowhere near the level I would expect from a restaurant charging these prices. read more

Beautiful location for a restaurant at the Standard hotel. I came here after a much needed self-care spa day so I was by myself. I sat right next to the water with a gorgeous view. I ordered a Caesar salad but the waitress forgot my avocado that I asked for on the side and I had to ask multiple times in order for it to be brought to the table. I also ordered the short rib tacos which were phenomenal. It came 3 tacos to an order. There were some tourists sitting near me which were extremely loud and obnoxious, but beyond that I had a relaxing day. read more

Lido bayside grill is part of the standard hotel. My girlfriends and I had a girls spa day and decided to come here for brunch. The food was amazing and our server was very friendly and attentive despite how busy it was on a Saturday. The grill is right next to their outdoor pool. It was very cold outside when we came here and luckily they had patio heaters out for us. I had the eggs Benedict with potatoes and it was amazing. They also have vegan options which is a plus. Plenty of food options to choose from. My girlfriends all really enjoyed their meals. The food portions were nice and prices were very reasonable despite being part of a hotel and spa. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely flawless lunch experience -- worth going out of your way for. I came here for lunch with my mom and it was one of those rare dining experiences where everything clicks. We managed to get a last-minute reservation and were seated with a stunning ocean view, exactly what we were hoping for. The weather was perfect, the breeze off the water was ideal, and the overall energy of the space was relaxed yet elevated -- upscale without feeling pretentious. We ordered the steak frites, and I don't say this lightly: they were prepared perfectly. Cooked exactly to our individual preferences, seasoned beautifully, and paired with crisp, golden fries that didn't need anything extra (but somehow still benefited from everything). It's one of those dishes that sounds simple until you realize how rarely it's executed this well. We also shared the guacamole with their homemade crackers, which deserves its own shout-out. Fresh, balanced, addictive -- the crackers alone are reason enough to come back. Even the small details were spot-on: ice-cold Cokes, attentive but never intrusive service, and a team that clearly understands hospitality. They made us feel welcomed, unrushed, and genuinely taken care of. This was one of those meals that turns into a memory -- not just because of the food, but because of how it made us feel. If you're anywhere near Miami Beach and want a lunch that delivers on view, food, service, and vibe, this place is a no-brainer. We'll absolutely be back. read more

I met a friend here for lunch. I'd been warned about the expensive valet, but I was running late so I didn't have time to look elsewhere for parking. The location is amazing! The food and service was great! The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is for the valet and pricing. I ordered the guacamole with chips and the tuna ceviche. My friend had the watermelon salad with a side of blackened tofu. The food was delicious. The waiter was great. There's a 20% gratuity added to your check. I gave him a little extra because he was so nice. My bill was about $54 before I added a bit more. We only had water. My friends bill was $25+ I'd go back but definitely find parking elsewhere and walk! read more

Excellent service - everything I asked for I received in a friendly and timely manner. The server recommended the burger so I went ahead and ordered. To my surprise, it was a GOOD different. When you think of ordering a burger you usually know what flavors you'll get but this was a great switch up for me. Absolutely loved!! I requested honey mustard on the side (love my sauce) and the waiter said they didn't have it. This waiter was so sweet he went out of his way to make me some from scratch. Thank you again, Josh!! :) The menu was intriguing so I had a difficult time choosing what I wanted because I genuinely wanted to try all of it! I also tried the detox juice - so good! Also - the view just makes you want to spend the day here reading a book eating good food. read more

Cockroaches, everywhere... Been here so many times and every time it's gotten noticeably worse for different reasons :( Overall service has had a steep decline but we keep coming back hoping if a fluke each time. Drinks come long after food arrives, food gets forgotten, or extremely long waits on food. But our recent experience was unfortunately the nail in the coffin... cockroaches... everywhere... We were trying to eat and giant roaches were running around our feet and other guests. We told the workers multiple times and there was really no apology or comp on our meal and we were trying to be very chill about it even though it's a huge phobia of mine, and just gross overall. The entire dinner we both had to sit with our feet up in our chairs. We saw 4 total during our dinner and couldn't focus on our conversation because we kept looking around to see roaches scampering toward us and under tables. We won't be back.... read more

Check in was good, got to the restaurant was seated pretty quickly. There were about 10-15 tables, waited a bit and a runner took the water order and we'll screwed that up, don't do sparkling, eventually the server came by took order requested replacement water and no cheese on a burger- delivered 2 cheese burgers and never replaced the water- or checked back on the meal l. eventually got another waiter to replace the water- dropped check, never heard from her again. Let's hope the stay here is a little better. read more

I really enjoyed my experience here. I found this place on TikTok and I was interested based off the restaurant being literally right on the water because I just love being by the water and I was definitely not disappointed in that regard. We got a table right next to the ocean and it was a divine experience. It was so calming and beautiful and it was nice to watch the ships and the people just moving through the ocean while we were eating. I also really enjoyed the music..I actually believe that I saved a few songs on my phone based off what the DJ was playing so that definitely added to the ambience and was great as well. The one downside I will say is that the food was not the best. My boyfriend got the "jerk wings" which did not taste in any way like jerk at all, but I could tell from the description that they wouldn't and they were just very bland. I'm pretty sure the chicken was not marinated so we did not enjoy that. I did order some seafood and I wasn't mad at what I ordered personally.. it wasn't amazing but I did want a healthy meal and I definitely got that with this meal for sure and the fish tasted really fresh and just overall was a nice, light, and nutritious meal. My boyfriend paid and from what he said it seems like it was pretty pricey so that could for sure be a downside as well, but I really enjoyed my experience here overall from the ambience, the ocean views, to the music. Everything really appealed to me in those regards and I definitely added it to my Miami list and will return. read more

Great waterfront spot with a really active pool scene and endless people watching. Lido sits on the standards property- this is fun as it adds a touch of exclusivity and interesting company. The food here is hit or miss- the hits include the paella and bread pudding, while the misses include the chicken and a few salads. Service here is great if you're with a member, but can be lackluster otherwise. I like this as a more casual alternative to seaspice. read more

Food was good, but the views and vibe were amazing! This hotel restaurant overlooks the bay, with lots of seating, umbrellas, and fans to keep you cool. The walk from the lobby to the Lido (see pics) is beautiful - a wall of green. We were here for brunch, so I had scrambled eggs with potatoes, which was good. Coffee was a tad cold. Service was good. Parking is a bit tricky as valet is $30 and most street parking in the area is resident permit only, so you may want to Uber or risk getting towed. read more

Beautiful view in the bay and delicious food but the service was a little confusing. I sat down with one person who took my drink order and dealt with two to three other waitstaff by the time I was done. I had no idea who was helping me throughout the night yet somehow with all the "help" I also felt like I never had actual assistance lol. The menu has a lot of interesting options but I went with the crab salad and it was delicious. Fresh, comes on top of a bowl of ice so it's chilled perfectly, and the wonton strips add a nice crunch. read more

I'm going to give five stars for the amazing views, and wonderful bayside patio. The vibes of this place were exactly what I wanted for a nice relaxing dinner. The service was interesting, while everyone was nice there was definitely no attentiveness. We had a reservation. Also we asked to be seated as close to the water as possible and the hostess said she would text us when a table close to the water opened up... 35+ minutes later we returned to the hostess desk, she never texted and didn't say anything, she just sat us in the middle of the restaurant!

Lido has captured my heart, and I find myself returning . From the impeccable service to the friendly staff and breathtaking views, this place has it all.

The restaurant boasts the most stunning sunsets in Miami, making it an unforgettable dining experience. The service is impeccable, and the staff is not only attentive but also stunningly beautiful. There's something about the standard they uphold that adds to the allure, making it an ideal spot for people-watching and socializing. Now, let's talk about the food - a delightful surprise that keeps getting better with time. The menu has seen significant improvements, and it reflects the expertise of a mastermind behind the scenes. The Snapper was seasoned to perfection, and the Scallops paired with mash were a divine combination. The oysters were a treat, especially when we followed the staff's recommendation. Lido offers an extensive array of options to cater to diverse preferences, ensuring there's something for everyone. And the cocktails - oh, the cocktails! The bartenders are true maestros, capable of crafting any drink to perfection. Their expertise shines through in every sip, making each cocktail an unforgettable experience. It's worth noting that Lido offers an elevated dining experience, and while it may not be the most budget-friendly option, the value it provides is beyond compare. In conclusion, Lido Miami has become a cherished oasis in my culinary journey. With its alluring ambiance, exceptional service, and delectable fare, it's a destination that never disappoints. Whether you seek a romantic evening, a lively gathering, or a taste of Miami's finest, Lido is the answer. read more

Hands down a great view, right on the water and you are able to watch boats go by. Food and drinks are good but the prices are a bit high. The oysters were super fresh. Considering the prices are at a higher range and the automatic 20% gratuity I would think the service would be better but honestly both times I've gone were mediocre at best. I got my food before my drink and my waitress never came back to check if I needed anything, then I had to ask someone else for my bill. read more

Enjoyed my lovely lunch here on a break from a bike ride across Venetian causeway. Had no issues chaining my bike up in front adjacent to valet on the provided bike racks, walked straight through to the courtyard and enjoyed the beautiful garden before making my way to the pool deck area and Lido restaurant, where staff in minimalist and spa-like outfits, all khaki and white, soft cottons and linens, were waiting to assist us. We had no reservation and requested a table for two in the shade, as it was a cool, but sunny day. They were quickly able to accommodate that, and even took the care to set the table up with both chairs on the same side facing the water, a little touch that adds a nice detail. Our server was very nice, he wasn't particularly outgoing and didn't make any recommendations, but was everything we needed. we tried a couple different juices, the Verde and the pinup, the Verde was definitely a healthy tasting juice with no sugary inside, and tasted very fresh and not grainy. The pinup was a bit sweeter, and so delicious, we shared them both, and the mix felt perfect. We still had a nice bike ride back ahead of us, and didn't want to fill up too much, so we just shared an appetizer, the whipped feta. It was such a unique texture for feta, and made it creamy and sour at the same time, when paired with the roasted cherry tomatoes and crustinis was a delightful, crunchy creamy snack. We ran out of crustinis and asked for more bread, and the server brought us some fresh sourdough, which may have been even better. Prices are to be expected for a place like this, $12 each for a fresh pressed juice and $18 for the whipped feta appetizer. Not a cheap place but the ambience is beautiful and the experience was very delightful. Thank you! read more
