    Snapper
    Mahsa T.

    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.

    Fancy red fish
    Alanna M.

    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.

    Mussels

    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.

    Crab cakes
    Edward S.

    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).

    Wagyu tartare
    Siana L.

    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

    Fancy scallop
    Madison G.

    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!

    Crispy Skin Snapper
    Samantha W.

    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.

    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…

I found that extremely unfortunate and disappointing. When guests are reporting becoming sick after dining at your establishment, I would expect the situation to at least be taken seriously and handled with care and concern. We spent a significant amount of money celebrating a special occasion here, and the combination of the food quality, several members of our party becoming ill afterward, and the way my concerns were handled left a very negative impression. I truly hope management takes this feedback seriously and looks into what happened so another group does not have the same experience.

    So I really wanted to love this place. I have heard about their ladies night and happy hour…read morespecials for a couple years now. My friend suggested we go here before a movie on a Wednesday afternoon. I got there early, as we were to be at the movies, at the Silverspot by 6pm. And ladies night/happy hour starts at 5pm. Upon arrival I was greeted warmly by the hostesses and asked if I was there for ladies night. Then I was given two drink tickets. I sat at an empty bar. There was only one other person seated on the other side. At 5:15 a pack of women (5-6 ppl) walked in and started claiming seats and moving barstools around. I was saving one for my friend who was parking the car. When out of nowhere a manager (or someone who appeared to be in charge) ripped over to where we were seated and started talking to me sternly about moving chairs and saving seats. Never have I been reprimanded for saving one seat at a bar when there were other seats open. But I communicated with her that my friend was parking, and that I hadn't moved any seats. She reiterated again, no saving seats and then addressed the girls who moved the bar stools. Her tone was abrasive and honestly given what had occurred seemed out of place, especially that the bar wasn't packed and the restaurant was empty. Unfortunately, this interaction really just tinted the whole experience for me. I was scolded for something benign and also for something I had not done. Before I was admonished, I managed to order a roll (spicy tuna maki) and a drink, the agave picante. Neither was outstanding but neither were bad either. However, given the fact that it was happy hour food/free drinks it was perfectly adequate, nice presentation on both. The bartender was sweet enough and given how the manager treated us I figured he probably received similar treatment from both management and customers, or either or. So I wanted to tip him well. However, when I went to pay, the gratuity was already included and I said to him I wanted to tip him more than $2.40, because honestly he wasn't at fault at all, for how I was treated by his coworker/superior. But I guess whatever system they use makes it difficult to change because he didn't make the effort to let me pay him more. (It took very long to get our check because of said system, not sure why, but the poor man had to go hunt something down to do so. I paid with a normal card, nothing out of the ordinary as did all the people in my party.) My friend who chose the place and the other patron who was sitting at the bar both commiserated with me about the interesting treatment, and said they never saw or experienced what I did. So I hope it was a one off and maybe I was just unlucky to be seated next to a large group of ladies. But overall, if I had to recommend a place for happy hour, this wouldn't be it. Plenty of other places have better options for food/drinks and better service in the area. But I guess if you can't afford to buy yourself 2 drinks at happy hour prices and you happen to be a female, I understand its appeal.

    A prime seafood restaurant? Yes!…read more We landed in Miami for a long getaway weekend and our room wasn't ready at the Kimpton Epic. We weren't dressed appropriately for the dining room but they were gracious enough to let us sit in the bar area and I'm so glad they did. First, service was impeccable. Everyone was kind and friendly and super helpful in sharing places to eat and things to do during our stay, especially Mickey, the GM. I started with the Spicy blackberry margarita and it was an excellent choice. It was the perfect blend of sweet with a touch of heat/spice at the end. It was so good that I had two during LUNCH! The King crab linguine caught my eye on the menu. I typically don't do pasta dishes because of the carbs but I couldn't resist today. And I'm so glad I did. The huge pieces of king crab were probably some of the best I've ever had. The capers added a nice touch. The linguine was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My husband loves Key lime pie. I didn't think we had room in our tummies to hold it but thankfully they have a petite version. That size was perfect. I'm not a fan of key lime pie because it's so dense and tart to me. That was until I had key lime pie at Truluck's! Their version is light and airy and not lip puckering tart. It was amazing. I think we are going to go back to this spot before we leave! It was just that good.

    Dining at Joe's Stone Crab is a celebrated culinary institution experience filled with timeless…read morecharm and grand elegance. The bustling, cavernous dining room with its classic wooden accents and lively atmosphere creates an unforgettable setting for a classic seafood feast. The service was remarkably polished and attentive, carrying on decades of legendary hospitality. The food exceeded every expectation: the iconic Crab Claws were sweet, succulent, and perfectly chilled, while the decadent Lobster Mac offered ultimate rich comfort. Surprisingly, their classic Fried Chicken delivered a golden, perfectly crispy bite, and the Creamed Spinach rounded out the meal as an ideal, savory side dish.

    I really enjoyed my visit to Joe's and there's a reason why it is so popular and has been around…read moreforever! Walking in you get that old school feel with the staff dressed to the tee and very friendly. They had a special pre fixe menu that was fairly priced which allowed me to try a lot of the menu instead of having to order a la carte. Our server was professional and terse but in a way that I didn't mind and he even scolded some other busboys for taking too long to clear our table which I found funny but appreciated too. I started with the Stuffies which were amazing! The baked clams were dressed up nicely and these were very tasty. The stone crabs were delicious and I loved the dipping sauce it came with. Granted we visited outside of stone crab season and so I'd love to come back when the crabs are more fresh and in season. It also came with sides of hash browns, creamed spinach, and a grilled tomato. While I appreciate the quantity and variety they gave, these sides were a miss for me. The pre fixe concluded with my choice of the Key Lime Pie which was a nice ending for the meal. Nicely balanced between tart and sweetness. My only note would be for the crust layer to be bigger since it would help balance out the pie portion a bit better. We also got the fried chicken which is a steal for only $9. Excellent and crispy skin and very moist! The only dry piece was the breast unfortunately, but otherwise it's hard to find a better fried chicken at this price.
