Crab Claw Appetizer
Randi F.

OSCAR provided us with elevated dining experience for a special occasion. Every morsel of our dinner was presented beautifully and tasted out of this world. The restaurant is in the Betsy hotel, A boutique hotel in South Beach. Service was exceptional and every dining client was treated as if it was their "special occasion." We will definitely return when we are in the area. A MUST TRY!

This was my first time visiting the Betsy Hotel LT restaurant and I went for Valentine's Day. So I'm not sure if the items are on the daily dinner menu, since it was a special Valentine's Day menu. I must say everything that I tried was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, we had reservations for 8:30 dining and sat right away. They even gave us complementary Prosecco, which a nice touch and complementary tuna tartare appetizer, I was blown away by their generosity. I love mini touches like that, that make guest feel welcomed and appreciated. As my entrée , I went for the ricotta mushroom pasta, it's not a cute photo, but it was so delicious. It was the perfect balance of texture from the mushrooms and savory flavors from the ricotta filled pockets of pasta. The house made bread was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and deliciously paired with their grass fed butter. For an appetizer, we had the Wagyu sliders and crabcake. The crabcake was one of the best I've had. To end the night we had a raspberry heart shaped tart. Soft cake like on the inside with a nice raspberry jam center. We sat outside and people watched right on Ocean Drive. It was a very nice night.

My party of four got a mid evening reservation on a recent weeknight. Located inside the Betsy Hotel, the layout and decor is interesting. Food-wise, everything was solid, nothing spectacular. A strip steak and snapper were what my wife and I shared. Mushroom and avocado on the snapper dish were tasty, while the steak was ok. Solid service, but as noted above, everything was on a 3 star level.

Popovers!

A friend recently invited me to join her on a hotel scouting mission for some out-of-town partners, and I jumped at the chance when she mentioned The Betsy. I hadn't been back to this South Beach gem since my younger days, and it didn't disappoint. From the moment we arrived, the large, breezy veranda with its rocking chairs and overhead fans set the tone: elegant, coastal, chill. Since The Betsy sits at the quieter end of Ocean Drive, the energy is more refined. None of the usual chaos you find closer to 8th. It felt more like a chic Caribbean resort than a typical SoBe spot. We checked out the menu and decided to stay for lunch and bonus... they were participating in Miami Spice! We were seated right away, and by some divine twist of fate, landed in Nathan's section. And let me tell you: Nathan was everything. Attentive, knowledgeable, hilarious, and devilishly handsome. Now... the food. THE FOOD. It started strong with warm, cheddar popovers (YES!!! POPOVERS) that were absolute heaven. For apps, we shared the chopped vegetable salad (easily one of the best salads I've ever had) and the hen of the woods mushrooms, which were earthy perfection. From the Miami Spice menu, I went with: * Starter: Shrimp bao buns - tender, flavorful, and beautifully balanced * Entrée: King salmon over Moroccan-spiced garbanzos - flavorful, filling, and just the right amount of heat * Dessert: Chocolate mousse - rich, smooth, and not overly sweet We paired it all with their spicy margaritas, which were A+. Already planning my return and you better believe I'll be requesting Nathan's section again. PERIOD.

The Betsy continues to shine year after year, visit after visit. We all love the Betsy, especially our pampered pooches who love the easy access to the park across the street. There's always live music in the lounge, beautiful art all around, and a gentle refined ambience throughout. Excellent overall! We respectfully suggest management kindly considering adding a couple items we could order exclusively for the pups - something like chicken breast, a burger or salmon. Great dining and drinking is available around the hotel. The Caesar salad is one of the best we've had anywhere. Keep up the excellent work! It's much appreciated.

3 out of 5 stars Breakfast at The Betsy South Beach - A Bit of a Letdown, But Great Service Saved the Day After strolling the South Beach strip in search of a breakfast spot, we ended up at The Betsy Hotel, drawn in by its charm. I ordered pancakes with sausage, and my partner ordered French toast with sausage and eggs. About 20 minutes later, our waitress brought my pancakes, along with both our sausage and his eggs--but no French toast. We began eating, assuming the rest was on the way. A few minutes later, the waitress returned to tell us they were out of French toast. My partner opted for pancakes instead, but five minutes later, she returned again to say they were out of those too. We ended up sharing my pancakes, but unfortunately, they were hard and barely edible--we didn't even eat half. While the sausage was tasty and my partner ate some of the eggs, the overall breakfast was disappointing. We spoke to the manager, Rene, about our experience. He was understanding and visibly upset that we were served what seemed to be the last (and likely old) batch of pancakes. He assured us that pancakes are made fresh in the morning and once they run out, that's it--but we should not have been served what we got. Renee comped our entire bill and took the time to genuinely apologize and chat with us. His professionalism and care really turned the experience around. Although the food fell short of our expectations, the service didn't. The waitress was kind and attentive, and we made sure to let her know it wasn't her fault and left her a tip. Overall, breakfast wasn't great--but thanks to Rene, we left feeling valued. I'd be willing to give The Betsy another shot next time we're in South Beach.

Elevated dining experience. Beautiful presentation and excellent taste. The Betsy sushi roll- recommend & the Betsy crab cake. Beautiful combination of flavor and execution of taste. I recommend this spot for sure

I came to the Piano Bar for a Juneteenth event one evening and had the time of my life. The Harden Group was performing and I only planned on staying for one set-- but ended up staying for a few hours. The service and decor of the Piano Bar was excellent! There was a diverse crowd that trickled in and out most of the evening. I can't wait to go back and enjoy any future events The Betsy Hotel may have!

The Betsy Hotel is an incredible place to stay right on Ocean Drive. They have everything: the best food, amazing staff, a rooftop pool and bar, live music, and DOGS!! The owners dogs (Betsy and Rosa) run the show and they're doing the best job ever, and yes in case you're wondering the hotel is dog friendly. Seriously though, this place is rad. The art and photographs are amazing. The restaurant downstairs (the seafood specifically) is truly elite. And the staff are so kind. Shoutout to Daniel and Gustavo at the pool, Carolina at the cafe, and Jose at the restaurant!

My customer service was great. The presentation of food was wonderful. I enjoyed breakfast on a morning when the weather felt perfect, so I dined outside. The facility appeared clean. The floors appeared tidy too, which was a made it look better than some of the sister restaurant locations. This is the 3rd spot visited since my arrival and it tops the other two.

Lily H.

Drink only: I enjoy the Betsy for the piano bar. This place boasts awesome live music and a wide menu variety. Their servers are friendly and quick and the drinks hit just right. Have not stayed here for the hotel but went around and loved the vibe and friendly staff. I'd recommend!

Checking the weather with Juan, thank you for all you do sir!

Super classy place with tons of charm! Little hidden hotel gem at the end of Ocean Drive. Prices are rising and this places justifies it with impeccable customer service and personal touches throughout the establishment. The doormen-bell guys Juan & Fritz had excellent service with great knowledge & suggestions for the stay. They were extremely thoughtful as it pertained to our 4 year old son and consistently showed us love & lots of laughs. Front desk was amazing as Hendrick set the tone/standard of the BETSY with a spectacular room and making sure that our stay was what we needed from day one thru our entire stay. Esra also at the front desk was very helpful during checkout & very personable. He suggested we stay another day or several considering the current hurricane concerns which my wife and I contemplated for about 30 seconds haha. The LT restaurant never let down from the great morning services with Bradless & Rene' to the dinner times with Carlos. Food was impeccable throughout with great selections...and the popovers were beyond amazing! Attention to detail is obvious in this eatery from the outstanding café latté's to the famous award winning cheeseburger! Art & Paul at concierge were great in communication as they applied a special little touch to welcome us as we celebrated my wife's birthday!! It's the small things in life that make it very special and my family and I each felt very special here!!! Thank you to the team @ the Betsy S. Beach, the Family and especially to the CEOs Betsy, Rosa & Daisy & their lovely parents Lesly and Jonathan for making us feel right at home. It was indeed a pleasure and we hope to see you all in the near future. God bless. Cheers!

Outstanding service ...You can't ask for a better place. Everything from rooms, to food, to service. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful...Fritz and Eros thank you! The lounge has an amazing atmosphere, piano playing every night. At the restaurant, Sheila served us. I was completely blown away by her level of service. She was knowledgeable about every meal and really went above and beyond to make our breakfast experience be one that we will remember. Will definitely be returning to this hotel when we visit Miami again.

Really easy beach access and access to the cobblestone walking area at the back of the hotel where you can ride a bike or walk. If you are an early bird, definitely recommend getting up early and utilizing the complimentary bike rentals. I believe you get 2 free hours which is more than enough time for an early morning ride. We rode our bikes to Starbucks, drank our coffee and then rode back. Again, try leaving early because the area gets really busy with walkers, runners, bikers and also people on rollerblades. One other thing to note is that we visited around July 4th. To view the multiple firework shows, grab a chair and walk along the beach. The pool area had great entertainment and games including bean bags and ping pong. The pool itself was not the largest pool but we were able to find a place to lounge each time. The pool was also heated which typically I would say was a plus but in July, it was a bit much at times. Great staff, very friendly and always smiling. Let's talk about the rooms. The rooms were above average in terms of design and cleanliness. The bathroom was an interesting one. Small. Too small. Made it hard to enjoy the shower or find places to put your stuff. The weird thing is that there were two closets. A large one specifically on the opposite wall of the bathroom. Why did they not use that space instead to make the bathroom bigger? No clue. As always be careful if you remove stuff from the fridges since you will get charged on your room bill. I have stayed at hotels such as Loews and Fontainebleau and this one is definitely a step below those hotels. Would I stay there again? Absolutely.

From the moment we arrived with check-in, getting our bags to our room, we were treated like true VIPs. Once we got to the room, we had time to change and head to the pool. The evenings were great as we were able to sit out on the balcony and relax, while at the same time being in the lobby or hitting the restaurant was always great. We took advantage of the on-site yoga classes and the beach every day while we were there. The beach area was nice, in the servers supporting the beach I felt did their best to accommodate all of the guests outside. If you're a frequent AMEX user, I would definitely recommend going through your AMEX as it really did just make a difference. The grounds were well kept the pool was clean. The staff was friendly and most importantly, we had an overall great experience. I would definitely recommend it for anybody coming to South Beach to come here, as it's centrally located and it's easily accessible to lots of other activities you may want to consider.

If you're considering booking Loews Miami Beach Hotel, do it. I was torn between this hotel and 1 Hotel South Beach, but ultimately Loews was the more cost-effective choice, and I'm so glad I chose it. Are there more families with children here? Yes. But honestly, the location, beautiful pool, and being just steps from the beach made this stay 100% worth it. The convenience and overall experience were unbeatable. A special shout-out to Caitlyn, who checked us in and went above and beyond. She was truly an A-star front desk agent -- warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. She was the cherry on top of an already incredible stay. She even went out of her way to leave us a little dessert to celebrate one of our birthdays. That level of thoughtfulness and hospitality is what makes a stay memorable. Our servers and bartenders were also polite, professional, and engaging throughout our visit.

I stayed at this Marriott and generally had a good experience, but not quite a four-star one…read more The location is excellent, and the price was reasonable by luxury beachfront South of Fifth standards. The staff were generally friendly, and a few were especially helpful. They handled three packages I had shipped to the hotel efficiently, though there was a sizable per-package fee. Small touches like afternoon boozy gelato samples and a lobby change machine for breaking $20s into $5s were appreciated. Breakfast at Lolo's was decent. My Marriott status included breakfast for two, though the included menu was much shorter than the regular one and the portions were modest. Still, the food was cooked to order, tasted good, and the servers kindly let me order both breakfasts since I was traveling alone. I didn't try the Japanese restaurant on site, but I heard good things and enjoyed the neighborhood restaurants instead, especially La Grande Boucherie. I paid a substantial premium for an oceanfront double room, but I'm not sure I would do that again. The balcony and glass door were fairly small, and the balcony felt boxed in for privacy. Next time I might prefer a cheaper park-side room on a higher floor, which could still offer a nice park and ocean view. The biggest disappointment was the late checkout. My Marriott Platinum Elite status is supposed to include guaranteed 4 p.m. late checkout, but the hotel would not honor it. Each day I was told to check again later, and in the end they could only offer 1 p.m. That created real scheduling problems, since I had planned around the advertised benefit. With no good place in the hotel to work or take calls after checkout, I ended up going to the airport hours early. The status is supposed to provide a room upgrade, but that wasn't available either. A couple of other issues matched complaints I had seen in recent reviews. One elevator stopped for several minutes with a group of us inside and did not respond to the buttons, which was uncomfortable even though the door eventually opened. I also received a call inviting me downstairs for a "welcome gift," which turned out to be a Marriott Vacation Club sales pitch. That should be presented more honestly. Overall, this was a decent stay and I might return. But given the failure to honor the guaranteed 4 p.m. late checkout, I would compare other options carefully before booking again.

I had been looking forward to the…read moreincluded spa experience, and while I really enjoyed the facilities and waterfront setting, our room was a letdown. We stayed in Room 6, which had a private outdoor courtyard with a bathtub. The room was described in terms of minimalist design and Scandinavian style, but to me it felt more like an industrial Scandinavian dormitory-motel room than a spa hotel room. The beige speckled linoleum flooring reminded me of grade school, and the toilet had a foot-operated flush lever like those in public restrooms. There was a small marble sink on a wooden stand, a wooden futon with a red-and-white striped cover, and three windows with wooden blinds. Tiny tables extended off the bed, just large enough for a Kindle, phone, and glass of water. I fell asleep listening to the blowing noise from the air conditioning, followed by about 15 minutes of a popcorn popping sound. On the positive, the room was kept at a comfortable temperature and two pairs of ear plugs were provided. Our room, booked through the American Express Hotel Collection, included a $30-per-person breakfast credit that could be used for a room service breakfast or at Lido Bayside Grill. With only a small metal-and-plastic folding table for dining in our room, I chose the beautiful bayfront view at Lido instead! The private courtyard was attractive, with white pebbles and a flowering tree. Fabric panels and a hanging curtain served as the walls and door separating our courtyard from the neighbors and the walkway. The door curtain fluttered open in the breeze, so it didn't feel especially private with people walking by. We could hear our neighbors talking next door, which made it rather awkward to sit naked in the tub at night, knowing that when we stood up, our silhouettes could be visible through the fabric panels. The tub was just large enough for the two of us to sit facing each other. The spa and pool facilities and bayfront location really made this hotel. We loved the large waterfront pool, comfortable padded loungers, and gradual sloping entry into the water. The adults-only atmosphere was relaxing, and the views across Biscayne Bay toward the Miami skyline were beautiful. The poolside service was great, and everyone was so nice. The spa offered an impressive variety of experiences, including a hammam with heated stone platforms and soaking tubs, a eucalyptus steam room, sauna with a view of the bay, rainfall shower, Ice Room (actually a room with chilled air rather than ice), and relaxation area. I particularly enjoyed moving between the warm and cool spaces. We also appreciated the complimentary wellness classes. My husband and I attended Tai Chi with Jackie, who guided us through gentle movements while we enjoyed the views of the water, palm trees, and sky. It was a wonderful way to begin the morning. She did a great job explaining the movements. The poolside and Lido staff were helpful, including Richard, Sophia, Jabar, and Eric, who assisted us during our stay. Megan was especially sweet, offering restaurant suggestions and explaining the complimentary water bicycle and kayak rentals. We enjoyed relaxing at Lido Bayside Grill, particularly the waterfront views and Mon - Thurs Happy Hour from 4-6 pm with $12 cocktails. It was a lovely place to sit by the water and watch the changing light over the bay. Overall, I would happily return for the spa, pool, wellness classes, and relaxing waterfront atmosphere. For a hotel at this price level, I expected a more comfortable and attractive room. I think the room could have a more inviting atmosphere with wood-look flooring, wooden tables in the bathroom and bedroom, and some artwork. A way to secure the bottom of the courtyard door curtain to prevent it from fluttering open would also be helpful. The Standard Spa offers a unique experience with its lush gardens, inviting sitting areas, wonderful spa and pool facilities, and bayfront dining. Despite my disappointment with the room, I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of our stay. Thank you to the wonderful staff at The Standard!

Not a 5 Star Vibe…read more... The Fontainebleau is a massive hotel in a convenient Miami Beach location, and our room was nicely decorated. Unfortunately, those were the highlights of our stay. This is very much a party hotel. If you're in your 20s looking for a high-energy atmosphere, it may be perfect. If you're arriving after a long flight hoping for a drink, light bite, and a relaxing evening, this is not that hotel. Our stay included a $100 "resort credit," which we discovered--after charging nearly $100 to our room--was only valid at one restaurant, Vida. Calling that a resort credit is misleading and should be communicated much more clearly. We also requested and received a noon checkout instead of 11:00 a.m. Despite having the DND sign out, housekeeping knocked before 10:00 a.m. We had also gone to the front desk to get a new key specifically for the late checkout. After breakfast, we walked the considerable distance back to our room and the key didn't work. We returned to the front desk, got another key, walked all the way back--and that key didn't work either. We then waited for security who also tried our key and confirmed it didn't work, and said this is very common with the front desk staff they employ at this hotel. Very frustrating for something that should have been simple. Miami Beach has far too many excellent hotels for me to choose Fontainebleau again.

11 years since I was last here. I stayed recently for my birthday. I like this place because it is…read moreon a relatively quiet street, and is on the bay, facing west, with a great sunset and view of the skyline. We reserved a 2 bedroom suite. I asked repeatedly for an early, 2pm check-in. When I go there around 2:15, the front desk area was in chaos. There were 2 people being waited on and I was first in line, but had to wait for ~10 minutes to get any attention. Even with repeated communication, the room was not ready. My kids were heading into melt down mode. Not a great start. I got a call at 2:45 that my room was ready. We headed back around 4 and then it was the same chaos, and very long wait to get our 1 piece of luggage. Once upstairs, the hotel is very neat and tidy and our room was a 2 bedroom suite with a balcony, facing the bay and city. The condition and working order of the room, bathroom, and kitchenette were excellent. We loved the minimalist aesthetic. They did have a happy bday card and some chocolates for me in my room - a very nice touch. The main event downstairs is the pool area. They had a DJ playing vibey lounge music and it was packed with people chilling and drinking as mature adults. Definitely not a wild spring break scene. The pool is heated, too. The best is being in the pool as the sun sets - very magical as the place goes from day to night. Great hotel - lousy front desk. I reviewed the restaurant, Baia, separately - great waterfront vibes, so-so food, and disorganized service.

Note this place does not accept Apple Pay- Terrible…read more The staff here is absolutely terrible and inattentive. I went to order an empanada from the front and the man that was behind the counter (after taking a 80 payment for 3 food items and 2 coffees..) walked to the front desk gave the girl a hug went outside did some stuff and then came back to make our drinks. I don't even understand what happened there there was one employee working behind and he just walked away. I was told from the front desk that they only have one available cart for us to use and that the carts they had the previous day "disappeared"- the bellman was incredibly rude and laughed at me bc I asked how the carts from yesterday just disappeared... (might've been a bad question but a place like this that is so expensive... it makes no sense to have 1 cart in the entire hotel) I had to ask I believe a manager(Sebastian) he was so incredibly helpful and got us what we needed and really was the only helpful staff member there he rocks, he apologized oh behalf of the other staff and was helpful and patient with the situation! The food was probably the worst food I have ever eaten- they need to figure out that situation first. For the prices they charge I really wanted to tell the chef face to face how bad it was. The fish was over cooked to the point it was literally so crispy like a French fry there was no moisture left in the fish. The fries (were very good) the coleslaw had no flavor it tasted like mayo and cabbage like nothing else seemed to be in it.. somehow bland... The fish was bland. The tartar sauce was bland. Somehow even the horseradish sauce they gave me was bland. It was sincerely the worst fish fry I have ever eaten in my entire life. And I do not say that lightly........Really haven't had an experience like this anywhere else it was utterly ridiculous absolutely laughable for what they charge and the location. The best part if my meal was the fried and ketchup. So sad. The pastries? The chefs makes pretty croissants but the filling is absolutely terrible it was like curry chicken and peppers nothing like a chicken empanada.. didn't have any beef options all in all I would absolutely never recommend this place to anybody ever. Seems like it's going downhill or staff just doesn't care! I've seen the other recent reviews and they aren't great.. Doesn't seem like they let the chefs put anything on the menu themselves and really streamlined the whole thing terribly. I would not recommend this hotel unless you want rude service and terrible food. The only good thing about this place is that it's on the water..
