I had heard a lot of great things about Bar Kaiju so I was excited to try it. It was a little…read moredifficult to find it because it's located on the Mezzanine floor of the building and the first floor is a food court. Once I found the elevator, Kaiju was clearly labeled there tho. The entire bar is dark and has cool red lights all around. We went to the bar to get seated and were led to an open table for our group. Our waiter immediately filled our water glasses and brought the menu. The menu is super cool because each drink is presented as a Pokémon card. There's a lot of info especially on how they compare to classic cocktails. Everything on the menu looked good so my friends and I got a bunch of different drinks. Some of my favorites were the Rodan, Guije, and the pandan drink (I forgot the name). The Michelangelo was also good but a little spirit forward for my taste. I'm excited to come back and try some more of the menu.

It feels like a big maze, where you keep discovering something new. Their nights vary with different events from djs to jazz and they have a variety of food on given nights. When I went they had pizza and tacos. A main bar with cocktails, a wine bar, and beer bar. I opted for the vodka passion fruit cocktail. It was pretty tasty, just had too much ice. It comes in a cute re-usable plastic cup. Staff was nice and helpful throughout the venue. There is seating scattered throughout Understory for food or just to relax. Definitely want to come back again soon!

If you are looking for a place where some of the best in Miami hospitality come together to create…read morethe coolest jungle vibes, look no further than Understory. Picture this - you walk into a tropical oasis and have the option of cocktails from Jaguar sun, wine selections from Bad Seed - a new wine bar pop up from Karina and the folks at Niu Wine -, rotating food from some of Miami's most loved chefs and last but not least - MUSIC! You'd think these folks just took your best friends magical back yard and created the most fun party in their house, but instead its at Understory and you can enjoy this oasis weekly on Thursday's and Fridays. I went for the first time last Thursday where I got to try a rum punch but with Mezcal that was delish. Then I moved on to a selection of delish wines and pizza by Flour and Weirdoughs. To say the vibe is impeccable is an understatement. I happily stayed until they closed at midnight, passing the time hanging out with friends and listening to the most fire playlist. They also have live jazz that starts at 9, which you can't really hear from the wine bar area since the space is so large, and DJs later in the evening as well as Friday. You can enjoy free entry before 8:30 pm. The best way to stay up to date on their weekly pop ups is to follow them on IG at @Understorymia. Can't wait to return!

Sunny, honey! Take my money! I mean that in the best possible way. Also, because it rhymes…read more I heard the hype, I saw the reels, so I had to try for myself. Rarely does a spot live up to the hype, not Sunny's. The hype is real. If you are planning a visit, make sure you have reservations. And yes, plan with time. The outdoor space is paved with cobblestones, lit with hanging cafe lights. The dining room has an 80's Miami vibe -- antique mirrors with palm tree edges, magic hour light beaming through the windows, playlist on POINT. Ambiance is the best, truly. Now down to the food. Here's what I had and what you should, too: - Parker house rolls (holy canoli) - Caesar salad (best in my life) - Wagyu carpaccio - 8 oz Wagyu (cooked perfectly with a slight smokiness to it) - French fries - Ice cream sandwich (you CANNOT leave without having this) There you have it! I haven't done a detailed review like this in a while, but Sunny's is worth a full, honest critique.

The Key is the rooftop bar located on top of the Citadel food hall in Little River, just north of…read moreLittle Haiti. A large group of us gathered here for dinner and late-night drinks on a Friday night. This is a fun, happening spot. It's ideal if you're looking for a casual, laid-back night out in Miami. The rooftop can handle a lot of people. My wife and I ordered food downstairs at Manjay, the Caribbean/Haitian stall at the food court, and took it up to the rooftop (there's an elevator). You are allowed to do this at the Citadel (take food from the food court up to the roof). Staff on the rooftop will bus trays and tableware. I recommend Manjay, by the way, and left a review for it separately here on Yelp. On the rooftop, I had a couple of martinis, one extra dirty. They were well made and delicious. Our friends had a variety of drinks including beer (e.g., Monopolio Mexican amber lager). Pint glasses were served iced over which is certainly nice in the South Florida heat. Service was good. The staff was nice. Several of the chairs had holes in the seats, so that was annoying. The vibe was lively and friendly. Good music.

The atmosphere is incredibly warm and intimate--perfect for unwinding after a long day when you feel like being outdoors. The lighting is soft, the seating is comfortable, and the music is always at the perfect volume where you can actually have a conversation.

Whether you want to sit at the bar and chat or dance away, this place nails the vibe. The have tango nights, salsa, vinyls and a bunch of different social events! Highly recommend checking it out!

The only downfall is that it took forever. When you order your food, they give you a buzzer, but the buzzer beeps and does not vibrate. The DJ plus the ambience makes it really hard to ever hear your buzzer. They should really invest in vibrating ones, either way food took a really long time crazy because food is served tapas style.

The charcuterie plate is divine and so is their Calabrian chili oil. I truly find myself putting it on everything even if it lights my mouth on fire. Delicious. Their pizza's are divine as well. The zucchini pizza is so fun and different and the regular New York inspired slice is also great. Do not sleep on the foccacia - it's amazing. Service here is always friendly and there is a ton of wine to choose from. They also have a full bar with indoor and outdoor seating. You can buy wine here to enjoy at the restaurant or also pick it up to go. I also saw on Instagram they have happy hour and pizza specials so make sure to look it up before you go so you can snag a deal. The outdoor area is really spacious with plenty of seating for groups. It is right by a train so you will hear that go by, something to keep in mind if you have little ones. This is a solid neighborhood spot that I find myself coming back to over and over.

The restaurant is conveniently located right on the downtown strip with free street parking nearby, which is always a plus. The atmosphere was inviting from the moment we walked in. The host welcomed us and told us we could sit anywhere we liked, so we chose a quieter table away from the bar area. There is also a stage section that looked perfect for live music nights, although there was no entertainment during our visit. Overall, the ambiance was trendy, relaxed, and had a great neighborhood feel. They also appeared to have some very good happy hour specials for those who drink. Our server was very sweet and offered several recommendations. We decided to share the burrata appetizer and the skirt steak dinner. The steak arrived first and looked absolutely beautiful. The quality of the meat itself was outstanding and cooked very well. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable charred flavor from what seemed like a dirty grill, which took away from an otherwise excellent steak. It was disappointing because the quality of the meat was truly superb. The fries were also surprisingly good and almost tasted closer to sweet potato fries. At that point, we realized our burrata appetizer had been forgotten. Once we flagged down our server, she immediately corrected the mistake and brought it out quickly. Thankfully, it was absolutely delicious and ended up being one of the highlights of the meal. The fresh burrata paired perfectly with the heirloom tomatoes and tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. Toward the end of dinner, service became difficult again. We were ready for more water, a box, and the check, but our server was nowhere to be found despite the restaurant not being particularly busy since it was still early in the evening. I eventually had to get up and ask the bartender for assistance. Overall, I really enjoyed the ambiance and appreciated the quality of the food. There were definitely some service inconsistencies, but the restaurant has a lot of potential and several dishes that stood out.
