I'm not sure how on earth this place got any Michelin recognition - my meal here was the most disgusting I've ever had in my life. Publix buffet food would have been better. I urge Michelin Guide to re-evaluate this place. I also urge Miami Spice organizers to exclude them from next year's restaurant roster because what they provided was absolutely false advertising and a complete rip off. Let's start with the fact that they falsely advertise on the Miami Spice website that you can choose ANY appetizer or entree from their menu, no exceptions. FALSE! It was only when we sat down that the waiter informed us that any steak or seafood towers were not included and that there would be a $20 upcharge on other items, essentially eliminating half their menu. Now, if like me, you drove half an hour thinking you were going to order steak or something else fancy, you'd be sadly disappointed. First, let's talk about how it took the waiter 20 minutes to take our order while I was starving, and one full HOUR before any food would arrive at our table. I ended up ordering the scallops for an appetizer and it wasn't scallops plural, but one tiny smooshed undercooked slimy scallop. See pics. I saw our neighbors order the same thing and they got two scallops because they weren't doing Miami Spice. So they were definitely penalizing and jipping you for actually doing the Miami Spice menu. Hey Mignonette, if you are too cheap to participate in Miami Spice, then don't do it at all. Then as my entree, I ordered the Grouper w potatoes and Brussels sprouts. I've had lovely grouper before (light and flaky) and this was not grouper. If it was, it was the most cardboard-like, tastless, frozen and reheated piece of garbage I've ever tasted. I could barely choke it down as hungry as I was. I didn't think anyone could mess up fingerling potatoes, but Mignonette managed to - the potatoes were undercooked, rock hard and yet also at the same time drenched in cooking oil which tasted like lighter fluid. The Brussels sprouts were equally heinous! Rock hard, uncooked, yet also soggy in cooking oil that hadn't been changed out for a week. Not sure how they managed to burn the outside of both the potatoes and sprouts to a crisp, but have it raw on the inside. My mom's snapper was slightly better and I wish I had ordered that instead. The final slap in the face came with dessert. A carrot cake, the saddest, tiniest sliver of frozen store bought carrot cake I've ever been served, lacking any taste, not containing any walnuts. Another piece of cardboard masquerading as dessert. Actually, I should say that I've had grocery store carrot cake 10x better. Zero ambiance. Looked like an abandoned storefront from the outside with a shady and unsafe gravel parking lot in back. No proper signage outside, I couldn't even find the restaurant door. Both dining halls were headache-inducingly loud. The floors were so sticky your shoes would stick. Bathroom was something out of a horror movie - absolutely disgusting, I kid you not. I wish I had taken a picture of the toilet seat, which was discolored yellow and pink from 30 years of stains. A new toilet seat costs $17! The managers/owners of this place should be ashamed of themselves. In a city like Miami, in a neighborhood like Wynwood/Edgewater with so many great restaurants, how can they serve this atrocious food in a filthy establishment and have a Michelin mention?!? It's mind boggling and they must have paid for the fake reviews. I left hungry, angry, and disappointed. Take it from this Yelp Elite, save your time and money and take a hard pass on this place. If I could give it zero stars, I would.
Miami Spice here is a GREAT deal!! It's a must try! Oysters (pink moon) & Key lime pie are the best here! Excellent service all around.
Came for Miami spice with a few friends and I really enjoyed it. Note: There were some things in the menu that were an additional charge. I got the lobster linguine and loved the large chunks of lobster in it. It had a little spicy kick to it. Then I got the lobster rolls cuz I couldn't get enough and it was sooo yummy. It hit the spot. The bread was generously buttered and I was a fan. I got the fries and broccoli on the side to balance things out. Lastly for desert the key lime pie! It was very lime-y. Good but a little too lime-y for me. Service was great!
A bit of a hidden gem that's still around in the miami scene. It's a very cute and quiet space that gives dinner vibes. Haven't been to this place in years and recently went back and it still holds up. Too notch seafood options and wine collection. No cocktails on the menu as a heads up. Service was really good as we had a party of 8. Would def recommend to try.
What's not to like about this small, quaint restaurant? The service was lovely. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the host and promptly seated for our reservation on a Monday night. There were a couple of tables dining already, but plenty were still open at 6:30. My two friends and I came in for the MIAMI Spice menu. We were pleasantly surprised to find that most of the menu was available for the selection of the appetizer and entrée. However, the desserts were limited to a choice from a selection of three. We also had to order all three courses upfront. We ordered the deviled eggs, the lobster linguine, and the crab cake as our starters and shared them. All of them were delicious in their own way. Truly, I would've been content with the lobster linguine as my main course. For my entrée, I ordered the lobster roll with French fries and broccolini. I adored the citrusy flavor of the lobster, as well as the little kick from the broccolini, and was delighted with the quality of the French fries--golden and crispy. For dessert, the Key lime pie was my favorite of the bunch; however, that was a dissenting opinion. (Everyone else agreed that the bread pudding was the standout.) I will say, I was a little confused about parking because it looked like there was a sign indicating parking toward the back, but I didn't see anything. So, I opted for street parking, and there was plenty available at that time--although it looked a little sketchy. However, once I parked and entered the restaurant, I quickly forgot about that.
Had an early dinner here before the Nutcracker--really quality experience. Excellent service, cozy but funky ambiance, and amazing food. Love the Miami-new Orleans fusion of the menu. For starters we ordered the lobster deviled eggs which are a must order and the chargrilled oysters. We are not oyster fans and absolutely devoured these. For entrees we went with the appetizer size of the scallops and the fancy red fish. Scallops were deliciously seared and the polenta was creamy but the red fish absolutely stole the show. The andouille crust had a nice spice and the gravy underneath was so delicious we ended up soaking the polenta in it. Highly recommend, great date night spot.
Finally made it to Mignonette! Glad we had reservations as the restaurant was full on this Wednesday night. Our party of 3 came here to take advance of the last days of Miami Spice. The great thing here for Spice is that you can order off the regular menu, with some exceptions with additional up charges, choose any app, entree and dessert. We ordered 3 different appetizers, the mussels in white wine sauce, the crab cake and the oysters. All 3 were great and equally delicious. We were all pretty set on the same entree, the main lobster tails! We did not mind the up charge for this entree, as it was lobster, our tails were perfectly cooked and served with an additional 2 sides of our choice. Dessert we also ordered one of each of the 3 options available: carrot cake (good, but preferred the others) bread pudding (warm and decadent, delicious) and key lime pie (perfectly tart and sweet enough, tied with the pudding for favorite). Hope to come back soon and try some other items I saw on the menu.
We came in a few minutes before the kitchen closed. I hate doing this to the staff but they were so nice and attentive still. We opted for the three course meal from the miami spice menu. The Rockefeller oysters, scallop, deviled egg lobster, and octopus were delicious. My friends and I shared a bite from each dish. All the dishes were tasty. For the main entree we had the grouper, lobster roll and snapper. Wow the flavor, every bite was amazing. For dessert we had the bread pudding which is a must, carrot cake and the apple pie that was warm and melted in your mouth. The restaurant had dimmed lights and two separate rooms with tables. Also, a small bar with the menu on a board. Overall, I had a great experience and I can see why it's Michelin recommended.
Mignonette is a great seafood restaurant and oyster house. As you get in, the interior is not what you would expect for the prices, but the food itself is worth it. Service was good throughout the meal. We started with glasses of wine and an order of Oysters Rockefeller (since my wife does not like raw ones). The oysters were really well cooked with good flavor. We also had the crab cakes which were excellent, with good chunks of crab. For the main dish, I had grouper and then you were able to select two sides (where I picked Asparagus and Brussels sprouts). The grouper was outstanding, cooked perfectly. I was also really impressed with the sides, particularly the Brussels Sprouts. My wife had the snapper and she really enjoyed that. The fries she had were very good also. As noted at start, it is on the pricy side, but the seafood is top-notch and worth a visit.
I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday, and overall, the experience was just okay. Unfortunately, our waiter was inconsistent and barely checked on us, which made the service feel lackluster. We started with the oyster flight and the clams casino--easily the highlight of our meal. The oysters were fresh, clean, and free of grit, while the clams casino were some of the best I've ever had. They were packed with flavor, served in a delicious combination of bacon, shallots, piquillo peppers, and white wine sauce. At this point, we were excited for what was to come. However, things started to go downhill. We had also ordered the fish dip, but it never arrived. Our waiter never acknowledged the mistake, so we didn't even get the chance to try it. For our entrées, I ordered the snapper with cheesy polenta and broccolini, and I really enjoyed my dish. The flavors were well-balanced, and the fish was cooked beautifully. The only downside was that the polenta, while delicious, was served a bit cold. My boyfriend, on the other hand, was extremely disappointed with his grouper. It looked and tasted like a frozen piece of fish--bland, uninspired, and overshadowed by the sides. Given that we live in Florida, where fresh seafood is a staple, this was a major letdown. Hoping to end the meal on a high note, we wanted to order a slice of key lime pie--but, unsurprisingly, they were out. At that point, it just felt like the cherry on top of an already frustrating experience. Needless to say, we probably won't be back unless it's just for appetizers (or maybe to finally try that fish dip we never received--if they don't forget again, lol).
This place is in understated gem. Small tucked away, you might almost miss it. Decor is simple but elegant, the focus is CLEARLY The food. The meal was beyond amazing, best value for spice Entire menu is an option. Bold rich flavors, creative combinations ... perfection! Beer and wine only for alcohol options. The wine list was ok. I didn't find a wine a love (which is subjective) Servers were excellent. FREDDIE knew his shit! And was excellent at making good pairings
To begin with, the place was cute, packed, and service at the table was phenomenal. Aside from waiting 25 minutes to be sat at our table (even with a reservation) the service was great. The table before us hadn't gotten up after paying, and if I had to critique the service I would advise the management to have gone over and said I'm sorry but we have a table reservation that has been waiting over ten minutes if you don't mind continuing your conversation at the bar. Now, let's talk food. Apps: I've never not ordered a steak tartare if it's on a menu, so I had to try it. My steak tartar was a little bland, and the pieces were cut into cubes, and those cubes were tough to chew. I really didn't like it, and I've never disliked a steak tartare before. WITH THAT SAID, my friend ALSO ordered this- and his had a mustardy tangy flavor, the texture was more tender, and it was delicious. He agreed that the plates tasted totally different. So, I don't know why mine tasted different, but it definitely wasn't consistent across plates. The lobster linguini was a little fishy, and just not our favorite. The table didn't finish it. The octopus was delicious! Perfectly cooked with a crispy skin. Love. The scallops were good! I got them fancy style with a side of the beurre blanc to dip it in. Good portion size and generally tasty. Not the best I've ever had, but still tasty. Smoked fish dip was GREAT. I finished it with a fork once we ran out of crackers. Finally, the crispy skin snapper with beurre blanc was amazing. It was cooked so perfectly and basically melted in your mouth. This was the winner! All in all, this is one of the best miami spice specials since they let you choose from the whole menu, food was good, not great. I would go back though!
This cute little oyster bar in Edgewater was calling my name. They have a several different oysters to choose from so we tried a few each. The crispy skin snapper was light but flavorful and I had some of the best asparagus I've ever eaten as a side. But the real star of the show was the Clams Casino, which was a bowl of clams in a broth made with bacon, shallots, peppers, and white wine. OMG. I wanted to drink every last drop of the broth it was that good. Service here is great and the servers a highly knowledgeable about their menu, it's impressive. There's actually a ton of seating but make sure to make a rezi or you might be stuck waiting a while.
Incredible and unique dining spot. Known for their fresh seafood options, this gem was a great spot to catch up with friends. Service was great - our server's name was Freddy and he was very helpful. The spicy tomato mussels, corn bread, oysters, and wine were all solid recommendations. Favorite bite of food was the mussel broth and corn bread with jam. Portion sizes were also generous. A bit on the pricier end (3 pieces of corn bread for $15), but besides that, it was a spectacular meal! Would recommend! read more
Came here for Happy Hour and really enjoyed the oyster selections, they had a great variety. The HH menu also offered lots of delicious appetizers. We tried the scallops, scallop curdo, and the wagyu tartare, and everything was so tasty and better with wine The ambiance was intimate, casual, and romantic. Service was friendly, quick, and attentive. We sat at the bar and loved being able to watch the food prep, plus the staff checked in often with wine pours. Overall, a great Happy Hour experience and definitely a spot I'd come back to. Would suggest for date night as well. read more
Mignonette can be one of the best Musmi Spice values. You can get any appetizer, any main entree ( Maine lobster, filet mignon, and whole fish excluded), and dessert for $60. Everything was delicious. We ordered the grilled octopus and lobster linguine for appetizers; crispy snapper and scallops for main dishes. Our sides were roasted potatoes, broccolini, and sautéed spinach. They were cooked to perfection! We had key lime pie and bread pudding for dessert. The bread pudding was heaven!! Ivan, our server, was attentive and polite. There is parking available in the back area, although we used PayByPhone spot. It was a fantastic dinner and we will be back for sure. read more

Miami Spice is one of our most anticipated times of the year! Mignonette has been on the top of our list to try for a while. It is consistently rated one of the best seafood restaurants in Miami, and certainly one of the best Miami Spice deals in town. Owned by the same visionaries behind Blue Collar, Mignonette's Miami Spice menu followed the same formula: to pick essentially any appetizer, entrée, and dessert of your choice. The restaurant is located in the Omni area of Downtown Miami by the Arshte Center and Braman dealerships. We found pay-by-phone street parking not too far away and made our early 6:30 PM reservation a couple of minutes early despite the rain. Upon entering Mignonette, were greeted and immediately sat without having to wait for our table, a rarity in Miami nowadays even with a reservation! The ambiance is very quant. It's a small, dimly lit restaurant that is perfect for a romantic evening. Nothing flashy here, which we liked. It was all about the food and the experience! My wife and I were congratulated on our recent wedding (which I had noted on our reservation) and were unexpectedly surprised with a complementary glass of champagne each! We were told it was on the house and to enjoy our meal. Since it was our first time at Mignonette, we spent a lot of time asking for recommendations to make the most out of our Miami Spice dining experience. Here is what we ordered: Appetizers - Charred Octopus: frisée, tomato, Gigande beans, Meyer lemon vinaigrette - Oysters Rockefeller: herbs, butter, panko, Pernod Entrées - Maine Lobster Tails: drawn butter with sides of sweet potato wedged and brussel sprouts - Prime Dry Aged Strip: sauce diane with substituted sides of sautéed mushrooms and roasted cauliflower Dessert - Heath Bar Butter Scotch Bread Pudding - Key Lime Pie II While Mignonette is known for their seafood, they do everything well. The oysters rockefeller are right up there with the best ones we had in town and the lobster tails were packed with meat and very filling compared to other lobster tails we had. My wife liked the steak but found it to be on the fattier side. We chalked it up to the specific cut she had. I was able to eat what she didn't have just fine. The desserts offered were the same as Blue Collars-- which is to say that they're some of the best desserts in Miami-Dade County and maybe even in all of Florida! The Heath Bar Butter Scotch Bread Pudding was so delicious and warm, and their Key Lime Pie is right up there with Joe's. Some may even say that this Key Lime Pie is even better than Joe's. The lime taste is definitely there but it's a tad less lime forward compared to theirs, which I know many people like. It is served with blueberries and plenty of whipped cream! Mignonette is an absolute must visit, especially during Miami Spice! Thank you for a wonderful meal to celebrate our marriage and to fend off the rainy day Sunday scaries! read more

I've been hearing great reviews in this place. We went for dinner service. Nice little place inside, lots of natural lighting. The building is a little old but gives the inside a fancy rustic touch. For the food we decided to get the octopus, hamachi crudo and lobster roll. Octopus was cooked perfectly, seasoned good and over a nice little salad. Hamachi crudo, refreshing, delicious as well, finished it fast. The lobster roll was buttery, soft and just yum! You are allowed to pick 2 veggie sides with the entree. Our waiter was very kind and pretty much all the staff had a smile on there face and made us feel welcomed. This restaurant seems like it's the perfect restaurant to be by the water, so the location of it is a little unfortunate as the outside does not match the high quality food, and service on the inside. Over all, we had an amazing time and the food is 10/10 read more

The food was amazing. The service was outstanding. And the ambience was decent. Kind of reminded me of a north eastern seafood/oyster house. Hands down would come here again. All of the food was excellent. As well as the service. In the weekend and half that we've been in Florida. West Palm Beach as well as Orlando. The best note we've had in 10 days.

This spot is similar to the likes of walrus rodeo just a bit less of an atmosphere, feels even more of a neighborhood kinda vibe. Did Miami spice which was really worth it for the price. The char grilled oysters were good but I would definitely add more cheese and bake them for longer to get that baked taste more. The steak was cooked perfectly but the fancy sides were okay, especially the potato kube, I would just got with individual sides next time. read more
We came to this small and cozy place formerly a gas station turned into a seafood/ oyster bar restaurant for the Miami Spice. We were greeted by the host and were asked where did you prefer seating. The waiter welcomed us and gave us menu right away. For Miami Spice you have to order everything up front so make sure you already know what you want although the waiter didn't rush us. The place is small but loved that its not overly busy and loud. For $60 they offer for you to choose any app from their regular menu as well for the main and dessert course. The menu is not big but everything looked good delicious. We each had different plates starting with the smoke fish dip, charred octopus this was just wow and the wagyu steak tartare everything was exquisite and very tasteful. For the main course we decided to go with the Maine Lobster Roll, Crispy Skin Snapper and the Florida Black Grouper all of which were in my opinion very well prepared. The star of the show was the Lobster Roll not heavy on the butter and had a citrusy taste to it which was great . I liked that you could change your option of the sides we went with the asparagus brussel sprouts, fried roman artichokes, and house-made fries all of which had great taste. For the desert we went with the three they had but the best was the bread pudding. Tip although you can have anything on the menu they do have exceptions on certain items not a lot but this is something to keep in mind. Everything came out with time, loved that the waiter was not rushing us whether it be taking our order or rushing us to leave we were able to enjoy dinner peacefully. Kudos to the waiter so making suggestions on both drink options and dinner. We definitely recommend for a date night or just a dinner with the family. read more

It's the best time of the year in Miami.... Miami Spice, ahhhh! Not sure how I let so much time pass before I left a review about last year's Miami spice, it may have been a year but I still remember this meal like it was yesterday. Our server was amazing and gave us some recommendations, he got us started with a round of drinks and lobster linguini and a crab cake (if I was at home I would have licked the sauce off the plate) as a starter...gawleee they don't skimp on the meat that's for sure. The entrees were amazing as well BUT it was the starters and the conch chowder we ordered in addition that took the show. Can't wait to see y'all again soon! read more

Once in, seated, and the first app is served, your flight to a culinary experience begins. The deviled eggs topped with a chunk of lobster, so delicate and flavorful. The cornbread with a kick of jalapeno is perfectly right and made with soul, the popcorn shrimp, ( nothing popcorn about them) these are not breading with the essence of shrimp they are four large succulent shrimps, lightly battered - that are an explosion in your mouth. The main dish, crispy skin snapper was elegant and perfectly seasoned with the choice of 2 sides- my broccolini was delicious, well cooked and nicely seasoned- the fries, ah the fries, so crispy and crunchy (a bit salty for my taste but if you are salt sensitive ask them not to top off with salt). My partner had the lobster roll which she simply described as, perfection. Her sides were equally delicious ('cause I tasted them) she chose the potato chips, yummy crispy with a hint of buffalo wing marinade - nicely cooked and crunchy plus, delicious artichokes that are not you regular charred chewy artichokes - these were soft, tender graceful and delectable. We chose the keylime pie, oh so frothy, light and just the right amount of tang. f We finally met a place that is not pretentious, does not double up as a restaurant by day with subpar food and a lounge by night but, where good quality food and service is the sole purpose in coming. Shout out to outstanding service from Freddy, for being an exceptional waiter. Anticipating our needs before being asked, making us feel valued and comfortable and, ensuring we had a positive dining experience. Cant wait to go back. read more
Cool space, easy to park near and the really liked the flexibility of the menu -- my wife and I got two apps and two mains with our choice of sides. The fish dip was good but nothing amazing but the octopus app was fantastic; easily the most tender octopus I've ever eaten and grilled perfectly. For our mains I got the snapper with peas and asparagus and my wife got scallops with polenta and potato chips. The fish was cooked well with crispy skin but was under seasoned. That said it was fresh and a generous serving. I also liked the asparagus and loved the sweet green peas. My wife very much enjoyed the scallops even though the beurre blanc was really oily and the polenta wasn't terribly flavorful. We both agreed that the potato chips were the star of meal (other than the octopus) as they were adeptly fried and had a generous old bay seasoning. Overall I would definitely be back for more of that octopus and to try out some more seafood. read more

Came in for MIAMI SPICE! What a treat. This is a premium place with a $60 premium menu and you were allowed to pick whatever you wanted off of the menu with a few respective exclusions. I lived every thing except for the bread pudding as it was a little dry and over done. My favorite things were the lobster rolls which was delicious and buttery in a perfectly toasted roll, followed by the oysters. The restaurant is located in Wynwood and it's pretty small and has a modern aesthetic, we almost walked past it. The service was standard, we were well taken care of, had our drinks refilled in a timely fashion and our food came out within reasonable timer. I would definitely recommend and return! read more

I was conflicted on whether to give 3, 4, or 5 stars. The appetizers were good, and while each veggie of the entree was good, the meal as a whole was way too salty. The dry aged steak, broccolini, and potatoes were too salty, and this is especially surprising for a salt-lover like me. While the texture of the potato anna was fantastic, it was too salty. I was especially disappointed by the steak. It was way too charred and the edges were too salty so all I could taste in each bite is burnt meat and salt. Once I cut the edges off the meat, I could enjoy the tenderness and juiciness of the steak. While my first bite of the broccolini was good, I realized that it was just because it was drenched in salt. After finding the rest of the dish too salty, I hoped to find some balance with the broccolini or potatoes but the consistent saltiness was overwhelming. The lobster linguini was good, and the seared diver scallop was good at first, but it was a bit salty. I came here for Miami Spice so for the price we paid, it was fine. However, I would not come back here for the steak dish if I had to pay full price. To be fully transparent, my friend got the steak too and loved their meal. If the meal were less salty and the steak were less burnt, I would have loved this place. Ambiance: Dimly-lit, not too fancy Service: Server was nice but did not check in often and did not refill empty water glasses often enough. However, it was pretty full that night so it's understandable why they were not as attentive. read more

Celebrated my birthday with the Miami Spice menu and WOW! Loved that you can pick your courses from their regular menu so we got to really experience the food there. The restaurant itself is intimate and romantic and the service and food were spectacular! The Red Fish and Crab Cakes were the biggest hit of the night. Highly recommend especially for Miami Spice! read more
Came for Miami' Spice and left so happy! The Flavors were DELICIOUS! Our server, Ach was awesome and gave us the best recommendations. We ordered all seafood items and each hit the spot. The SCALLOPS and OCTOPUS had to have taken the #1 spots! We also tried two different types of oysters and they were also flavor popping. Ambience is elegant and romantic. A little hard to hear across the table as the acoustics of the room were not the best but did not impact our visit. We would definitely return!! read more

We enjoyed our Miami Spice dinner at Mignonette. Service was great- our waiter was friendly and offered nice recommendations. Portions were good. Taste overall was very good- the Fried Conch was the only dish that was a bit under par- they were heavy handed on the salt. Other than that- Diver Scallops, Steak, all the sides , Bread Pudding and Key Lime were all excellent. The area itself could use a little more development but parking was easy and with reservations, we were able to immediately secure our table. Worth a visit! read more
Came for Miami spice and left stuffed to the brim. The street parking is easy to snag, even on a Friday night. Inside the setting has beautiful high curved archways and soft decor with big windows displaying the beautiful sunset behind us. As a Michelin recommended restaurant, it was an easy pick as my first place this season to try the Miami spice menu. They included almost every regular menu appetizer for the special tasting menu, i tried the char grilled oysters and they were amazing! Also shared the octopus and it was cooked so perfectly, on a beautiful bed of salad with a vinaigrette and yummy large beans. Our server Dash was so friendly and helpful, he recommended trying the scallops above all else and I'm glad i did. So rich and perfectly cooked with the polenta and caramelized onions. The bread pudding dessert came with a rich crème fraiche that was the perfect accompaniment, and i paired the meal with a German Riesling. Such an amazing deal at $60 for the 3 courses, I will surely be back very soon. read more

I was surprised this made the Michelin Guide. Food was not good, the filet was ordered medium rare but it was cold in the middle and super well done on the outside. Very chewy too, my jaw hurt afterwards. The broccolini had a bad flavor, almost like butane. My guess is they use the aerosol can of cooking spray on them instead of a proper cooking oil. The potatoes i almost really liked, but they were undercooked as well. Service was adequate, nothing memorable but all basic touch points were made. read more

What's the dress code here?
There isn't a dress code per se but I would say dressing "smart casual" or nicer is recommended. I was in a t-shirt and shorts and felt very under-dressed compared to other patrons but no one at the restaurant mentioned anything.
Does Mignonette have outdoor seating available?
None as far as I know (as of December 2021).
Do you have raw oysters? Is there an oyster happy hour?
Hi. Thank you for your inquiry. We do have raw oysters , however , right now there is no happy hour
Does this restaurant serve Whole belly clams? I read that it did, but do not see on menu. If not can anyone suggest a place near South Beach that does. Willing to drive 30 minutes to get some New England whole belly Ipswich clams. PLEASE help! Thx.
Hello. Thank you for the inquiry. We do serve fried whole belly clams, however they are not Ipswich. They are one of our more popular items and people from New England have commented on how much they enjoy them. We also offer raw clams on the half…
