Absolutely loved my experience at Meet Dalia! Beautiful place and the food was great, fresh, flavorful Server was super friendly and attentive. We ate outside because I had my dogs but the the vibe here is unmatched. It was a perfect mix of beachside views and relaxing afternoon. We just wanted to sit a bit and grab a bit so I had a burger which was delicious, but then again you cant go wrong with burgers. I just loved that my fur babies were welcomed. Definitely recommend
Food 7/10 Ambiance 9/10 Service 7/10 Nice restaurant with average food in south beach that's across from the beach. Prices were reasonable but 20% gratuity fee is included and when we asked the waiter, he said it wasn't. For the meals posted we spent about $200 not including the gratuity and tax.
*Consider this review to be more of a 3.5* With lots of choices on the ocean dr strip it can be overwhelming trying to pick a place for dinner. This restaurant is located as part of The Gabriel hotel. Prices are average (higher end but not crazy). Like the rest of the restaurants here they're eager to gain your patronage. You can literally negotiate deals for drinks / dinner before sitting down if you feel up to it! Since we were staying at the Gabriel we simply went there for convenience. It was our last night in Miami and thought it would be fun to watch the crowds of people streaming along the sidewalk. I'm not sure what kind of atmosphere this restaurant is going for. Music selection was all over the place. But it looked nice and the servers were energetic and friendly. We ordered sparkling water and I had an old fashioned. I'm not sure which bourbon they used, but it wasn't very good. It tasted pretty cheap but I was worried if I sent it back or asked for a different bourbon of choice I'd get hit w a steep up-charge so I decided not to say anything. For food we had the trio of dips w pita bread. It was good! The baba ghanoush was our least fav tho. For dinner my wife ordered the half lemon chicken and she enjoyed it. I had the spicy shrimp linguini (house made pasta) and was actually surprised by how much I liked it - and it was a nice large portion. Prices for the meals we ordered were fair - they did have some options that were priced extremely high for a restaurant hotel - I wouldn't get them here personally. Overall, a super solid experience. We were never rushed, had good food, and enjoyed people watching as they explored the night life. If you're staying at the Gabriel or a nearby hotel and don't feel like taking an uber out I'd say it's worth stopping here.
Located inside the Gabriel Hotel, it is the restaurant on the property. The food was ok, prices were a bit high. We ordered a Greek omelette and an avocado toast. I thought the avocado toast was just average. The hard boiled egg looked over cooked. The omelette was way better. Toast was bit browner than expected but tasted good. My biggest issue with the place is the cleanliness. The planter had jelly on it. Service was a bit slow in the beginning but I think they only had one server on site.
This is a great place, with great food, close to the beach where people watching is top-notch.
Perfect place for a quick bite. I wasn't too hungry, but wasn't sure what to order. Our waiter recommended the skirt steak as a house favorite, and he was definitely right. It was cooked to absolute perfection and had a great flavor. Our service from our waiter, as well as others near by, made the experience fun and enjoyable. We were seated right out front, and it wasn't too warm, so it made our lunch that much more comfortable.
Great meal and service! Husband got the whole branzino, which was cooked perfectly- crisp outside and tender inside. I got the grilled octopus and a watermelon feta salad. One of the best meals of our trip!
My bartender Smilie was good. We had a good time. the only thing he charged me for bread. Never told me there was going to be a charge.
My friends and I were walking down trying to find a restaurant to eat at. The waiter approached us walking past the outdoor dining area and said that they are serving free tequila and there is a large sign that says buy 1 get 1 free drink. It's pretty humid and they have fans outside. I asked to turn a fan on, which he did but as soon as another table was seated he turned the fan up to the tent ceiling which defeats the purpose. So atmosphere wise it was uncomfortable especially with them having the resources to assist. We asked about the tequila shots and the waiter said he cannot get them from the bar until we order drinks. We placed our drink and food orders. After getting our food we asked again about the tequila and he came off as confused which was awkward. Now he is telling us that we cannot get the tequila shots without doing a review. So he leaves for a while to bring back these review cards. He then asks us to show him our reviews and literally opens his phone to check the reviews to ensure that we did them. He Says he cannot get the tequila shots without showing the bartender. At this point i dont want the tequila so I decline. The waiter at some point asks us if we want our free drink. I tell him i just want my husband's drink counted as my free drink. The waiter says we cannot do that because buy one get one is only per person. But we could order our drinks to go. Annoyed but we do that... now here is the kicker... my friend didn't want her free drink so the waiter literally states that he can order it for her husband to take(who didn't order any mixed drinks. Which doesn't make any sense because if that's the case my husband's drink should be able to count as my second drink. We asked for the check 3 times and the waiter kept walking back and forth even though he had the electronic check/card reader right in his pocket. My husbands food order wasn't correct and the food was soo mid for a $400 bill. Highly don't recommend.
Good Mediterranean food with all day (you need to ask) happy hour drinks only--no food--noting you must order at min a medium cocktail and the 2nd one is free. This can be the same flavor or different--again noting the med cocktail is $29 for one and you get the other free). Connected to the Hilton Curio Gabriel hotel/Park.
If I could give this restaurant a 6 I 100% would. The service, atmosphere, and food was delicious! Our server Korey was on it! He made sure our water was filled and we were happy customers. I absolutely love Mediterranean food and Meet Dalia lived up to the expectation. We started out with the trio dip platter, out of the 3 the Tzatziki was the table favorite. It was unlike any tzatziki I've ever tasted, it was super thick. The pita which was served with the dish was fresh baked to order. Moving on, our two entree dishes, grilled and lemon chicken, were extraordinary! The lemon has the perfect amount of zest and the vegetables with the grilled chicken were seasoned to perfection. The inside was very clean and lovely, would eat here again!
Wow wow wow! I spent my birthday here and the experience was amazing!! Our server, Gustavo, even pulled out my chair for me and there were so many super nice people checking on us the whole time. The food and drinks were super duper yummy, and we sat inside where it is really pretty and all the chairs are so comfy. The whole experience made me feel so special for my birthday, I would highly recommend coming here for a regular night or a special occasion!

I don't go to South beach often, but when I do it's usually a place hop kind of vibe. A friend said to come by Meet Dalia and I had a time! I absolutely love live entertainment. So between the music and dancing I was in bliss. I ordered ceviche for a little snack which was good. And I drank spritzes. Our server and staff in general were pleasant. It was a very nice place with great ambiance and energy. I'd go back for sure! read more

Service was fine, food is far below average. In a town with amazing dining options I would find another option. Pictured is their "half chicken" which is a butterflied chicken breast with unseasoned box rice. read more

Got green goddess and steak and eggs breakfast. Both were very good! They accommodated my no pork and no sugar requests. Atmosphere in front of the ocean drive was also great. Very beach vibe read more

First time dining here. Location is prime right on ocean drive and is a take on Mediterranean. I came here with a party of two others. They have a good variety on their drink menu with multiple different sizes of drinks. They were well made with a good amount of alcohol. The calamari had good sizes of squid and was well seasoned. I had the spicy shrimp linguine. Overall it was well seasoned with shrimp that was cooked properly. The spicy part was a bit of a misnomer but nonetheless was enjoyable. I tried my other party members food as well. I thought the smoked salmon sandwich was the best thing the three of us got. The smoked flavor was amazing but not overpowering. Overall the food and ambiance was great. Special shout out to our server, Gustavo, who was attentive, friendly, and made the experience enjoyable. read more

My boyfriend and I spent our 5 year anniversary here and had the best time! The hotel is centrally located not only near the beach but also many good restaurants! The rooms are modern and cozy and there are two pools, one being on a rooftop. We had the best bartender Servet! He was personable and made a delicious espresso martini. Would highly recommend! read more

Very cool spot obviously. The server Melissa recommended the white fish, Blanquillo? Might be misspelling but it was awesome! Had the Smoke Show cocktail. If you like Mezcal it's great. Melissa was A+. Listen to your server and you won't be disappointed! read more
