I'd heard about Magie for a while from friends in the natural wine scene in Orlando and had to visit while in town. There is convenient (although somewhat limited) parking just to the side of the building, and entering feels like you just entered your cool friend's house. We almost sat inside on a couple of sofas, but opted to brave the humid Miami heat on the back porch/terrace since they were playing the World Cup game on a projection screen. The back is huge and has several sitting areas, including on an elevated porch with fans, as well as couches and bistro tables set up on the pavers down below. There is foliage everywhere and you feel transported (you'd have no clue this business was on a busy road). We got a couple of bottles of wine from their fridges, along with a smattering of shareable dishes from the kitchen (ordered inside). Everything was delightful and we were loving life (again- even in the humid summer heat!). I'd definitely return and enjoy the interior next time. Love a good wine and nosh spot and this is solidly at the top of my list when visiting Miami!

Seems good but you end up paying 35 + 15% auto grat + 3% card fee and it ends up to be 45$ per person. Its literally the same as just buying one of their already expensive 50$ bottles. If your in a group, it makes no sense. Also got a parking ticket so watch out. Auto service charge at a place with no actual table service also feels off..

Their white sangria was delicious, and they have some really good drink specials. We tried quite a few dishes, including the croquetas, patatas bravas, steak with chimichurri, Spanish jamón, and bone marrow. The steak was one of my favorites, and the croquetas were fantastic! Everything we ordered was delicious, and I really enjoyed being able to try so many different things instead of just ordering one big meal. What I love most about this place is the atmosphere. It's lively but still has that intimate feel that makes it perfect for a date. You can sit back, enjoy your sangria, share a bunch of tapas, and have a great evening without feeling rushed. Definitely one of those places I'll keep coming back to!

It's intimate but also a great place to mingle with others if you choose to. They also host monthly events which seem fun. The staff are nice at this location and the man who helped our group was very friendly and joked around with us throughout the night. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend!

With the big tree, lights hanging, it was a whole vine...ha ha get it. It was a Tuesday evening and they had $35 bottomless. Good decision. We decided to save the bottomless for the following week and decided on a refreshing Rosé, made our own charcuterie board, and went with the ph so popular cesar fries....get this and you're welcome it advance. As we eaited the music played everything from old school hip hop, R& B, to classic French tunes, it was wonderful. The selection of wines was actually surprising and ask all the questions you want, they know what their selling here. When deciding on the charcuterie upgrade to make sure you get the extras, trust me so worth it. It was such a wonderful adulting time. So glad a place like this exists closer. Its all fabulous here.

The atmosphere is absolutely charming, making it perfect for a cute date night, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a relaxing evening outdoors. One of my favorite things about this place is the outdoor seating! It has such a cozy, intimate vibe with a unique ambiance that makes you want to sit back, sip your wine, and stay awhile. It's the kind of place that feels special without being overly fancy. They offer cheese and charcuterie options, and I love that you can pick out your own meats, cheeses, and bread to create your own little spread to pair with your wine. It makes the experience feel more personal, and everything pairs perfectly with a good glass of wine. They also have a great selection of wines to explore!

I'm happy for the owners that it's always so busy, because clearly they're doing something right, but that's also the one thing that sometimes deters me from going. I miss the old days when it felt a little more quaint and you could actually find a spot to sit down and hang out. I love how relaxed and unfussy the whole experience is. You grab your cheeses and hams, they put together a nice little board for you, and you just settle in and enjoy. I still haven't tried the steak, but every time I see and smell it cooking, it looks amazing. And you really can't beat the live musical acts they bring in. Some of the best musicians in Miami come through here, and I love that about it. Lagniappe is just one of those places that feels unpretentious and home-like, the kind of place you always want to come back to.

He wasn't simply trying to increase the check; he truly listened and wanted to ensure we had the best possible experience. That level of genuine care, authenticity, and personalized service is what hospitality is all about. Alex made us feel welcomed, valued, and well taken care of.

From the second you pull up the driveway, you are greeted by rolling rows of vines and an atmosphere that instantly makes you drop your shoulders and relax. It completely lives up to its name--the vibe is effortlessly mellow, sophisticated, and incredibly welcoming. Here is why this place has officially become my absolute favorite spot: 1. The Wine & Food Pairings are Masterful The culinary team here clearly works hand-in-hand with the winemakers, because the pairings are flawless. We started with a crisp, beautifully balanced white blend paired with an artisanal charcuterie board featuring locally sourced cheeses and a phenomenal house-made fig jam. For the main course, the slow-braised short rib literally melted off the bone, and when paired with their estate estate Syrah, it was pure magic. Every bite was an absolute home run. 2. Breathtaking Atmosphere & Ambiance The design of the restaurant strikes the perfect balance between rustic vineyard charm and modern elegance. We sat out on the covered patio, which offers sweeping, unobstructed views of the vineyard. As the sun began to set, they lit the fire pits and turned on string lights, creating an incredibly romantic, warm glow across the entire space. It's the kind of environment where you just want to linger for hours over dessert and another bottle. 3. World-Class Hospitality What truly elevates Mellow Grapes is the service. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable without an ounce of pretentiousness. They walked us through the tasting notes of each wine, shared the history of the vineyard, and gave us brilliant recommendations based on our personal palates. The pace of the meal was perfect--we never felt rushed, yet we were perfectly looked after the entire evening. The Verdict Mellow Grapes is an absolute gem. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning a perfect date night, or just want to treat yourself to an exquisite meal and fantastic wine, this place delivers on every front. The passion behind the food, the wine, and the hospitality is evident in every single detail. I'm already counting down the days until my next visit. Cheers to the team for creating such a spectacular experience!

Now to the nitty gritty... The flavors were lacking. The Bao bun's filling was dry and lacking seasoning. The dates were ok The gyoza were so small and overcooked so they were hard and dry on the inside. The wagyu tiraditos needed a few slices of bread or crustinis- something to dip in the sauce. This was the only appetizer that had flavor. As for the good service being a tad much, plates were removed before asking and quickly. Almost felt rushed. I realllly wanted to love this place. I've only heard great things and was really looking forward to it. Been wanting to come since they opened. Could they have had a bad day, sure , but for the price, I'd expect better portions and flavors. I feel like they're cutting corners and we were afraid to order entrees and be disappointed so we decided to leave after the apps. Not sure if I'd try again.

Step up a few stairs, walk through the main entrance doors and beyond the sofas in the foyer is the entrance which looks more like an entrance to an office. The door gives way to slightly dim warm lighting, which creates an intimate and relaxing atmosphere. I sat at the bar with my husband and heard the bartender, Phillip taking repeated orders of old fashioned and espresso martini. I saw a table polishing glasses and glasses of wines and then came the surprise - their selections! Their selections were smaller than expected but thoughtfully chosen. We asked Phillip for his recommendations, along the lines of red & bold. He gladly pointed us to a wine that was not on the menu. It seems they offer a menu selection and off-menu/rotating selection from unique wine regions. We had a red blend from China (yes that's correct, it surprised me equally). But then I realized, I haven't had wines from most of the regions they offer and the curiosity sets in. Looking forward to explore the menu and off-menu selection. Perfect bar for date night or post dinner drinks and for all the wine explorers out there.
