I returned as promised! This time I tried the falafel, chicken shawarma and zucchini cakes off of the happy hour menu. All superb! I couldn't get over how fast they came out and how fresh and crispy (the zucchini and the falafel specifically) tasted! Tyler took great care of me and gave me excellent recommendations. I had the sparkling wine which was a tasty Prosecco. I sat outside as the ambiance out there is so aesthetically pleasing in spite of the warmer weather. I cannot wait to come back! read more

This visit the food was very good but service was extremely slow. 15 minutes passed after I was seated before a server talked to me. It was not very busy so it wasn't obvious why service was so lackadaisical. They were out of sparking water and charged me $6 for a glass of club soda. Ambiance was made more interesting by the presence of several sparrows inside the restaurant. read more

Ambiance and location is great. The food is consistently good, but the service is constantly lacking. Just two recent examples, the last time we went there was about 20 min between the time the first person was served and when I was served. I watched everyone eat and ate last once everyone was pretty much done. During this same visit we asked the runner (not our server) for additional silverware and followed up with a previous request for water, she very obviously rolled her eyes at us. I'm sorry but if we're dropping $200+ for a casual breakfast my expectation is that the service be baseline acceptable. With that said, the menu is great and food is 10/10. Proceed accordingly :) read more

So happy to see Motek in midtown! Came for brunch after a Barry's workout class with my sister in law and had a great meal (as always). Our waitress was so nice and sweet. We had a great time, and loved sitting outside. read more

I arrived about 10 minutes before happy hour and sat at the bar. When I politely asked the female bartender for the happy hour menu, she responded a abruptly and asked for my ID right away. She then looked it over and waited for the other bartender (who was very kind) to check it as well, which felt a little uncomfortable. Aside from that interaction, everything else was great. The happy hour was amazing--the food was delicious and the drinks were just as good. Service was fast and efficient. Just a heads up: the WiFi at the bar isn't the best. read more

From the food, to the super cute ambiance, to the service, and FIVE DOLLAR HAPPY HOUR...I'm invested! Lol. This was my first time here as it's brand new to Midtown, and I am so pleasantly surprised that my friend suggested we go here. Our server Jorge was so pleasant and just adorable. He suggested items as we literally tried half the menu at those prices. I love cute little bites and that's how everything on the happy hour menu is served. We tried each thing and re-ordered seconds of our favs. The hangar steak, pickle plate, and lollipops were definitely a favorite! The salmon skewers were nice, fresh, and the perfect temperature but lacked seasoning. Our spritzes were yummy and boozy. We enjoyed our table full of food with outside seating people watching. It was such a cute day for a great foodie experience. And all of the things we ate plus 3 cocktails each was $120! I'll be back for sure. read more

I visit Motek at least twice a week and have always enjoyed the food and overall experience, which is why I keep coming back. However, today's interaction with the hostess was disappointing. When I asked for a table inside during happy hour, instead of assisting or checking availability, I was told to "go check" myself because she works outside. The response felt dismissive and unprofessional. As a regular customer, I expect a basic level of courtesy and service, especially at the front of the house. The food and atmosphere are good , but the first impression matters and today it did not reflect the quality Motek usually represents. read more

The atmosphere is delightful, fun and light. We sat outside on a sunny, cool day. Our server suggested some amazing appetizers which were smaller plates but full of flavor! Try Motek at Brickell City Center as well: great bartenders, servers, food-all elevated! read more

My sister was raving about this happy hour and I was in town for one day, so we decided to see if they had any availability for 4people. The hostess genesis told us there were 2 parties in front of us and the wait would be about 35minutes, and added us to a wait list. She said we would receive a text when a table opened up. We decided to do some shopping while we waited and after 45minutes we happened to be passing by Motek and noticed three open tables in the happy hour spot. I decided to wait in line behind a group of 4people and a lady with a baby. While I was in line I overheard the conversations of the two groups in front of me and they both did not have a reservation and were there for the happy hour. Both parties were able to get seated without waiting and took the last three tables left in the happy hour section. When it was my turn to talk to the hostess she said we would have to wait since there aren't any tables, and said the wait would be about 10 minutes and that we could order quickly before happy hour ended. That 10minutes turned into about 35minutes and our overall wait time ended up being over an hour. If this was any other place I wouldn't have waited but I never come down here and I really wanted to try it. I was very disappointed how the hostesses Genesis treated us, to me I felt as if she thought we were not going to come back or maybe they want to seat people faster instead of seating people on the waitlist since there is a grace period. The whole time she looked very guilty and was very dismissive of us. Besides the disappointing service from genesis, our server was fantastic very knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. The food and drinks came out quickly and were all delicious and extremely flavorful. The harissa honey chicken lollipops are definitely a must! read more

Excellent food and service! Will definitely come again and afterwards shopped! Very convenient to park in garage and hang out for several hours shopping !! read more

I am extremely disappointed with the current management and communication at Motek. I have been trying to reach a human being for days, but they have hidden behind an AI phone system that is completely useless. Despite leaving multiple voicemails and calling repeatedly, no one has returned my messages. The most egregious part? I was charged $60 for a "missed reservation" despite the fact that I showed up and told the staff at the host stand three separate times that I had a reservation. * The Issue: They never called to confirm the attendance, yet they were quick to process a penalty charge. * The Frustration: It is impossible to reach a person to rectify their own clerical error. * The Reality: Using AI to dodge customers while taking their money for "no-shows" when they actually showed up is predatory and unprofessional. I expect this charge to be reversed immediately. Since you don't answer your phones, please contact me directly to resolve this. Contact Info: Dylan@soho.holdings 310-384-1933 read more

I'm a regular here and live nearby, so this experience was disappointing. I came for happy hour, but that section was full. I asked if there was any flexibility to sit in another section while still receiving happy hour pricing, especially since I visit often. Unfortunately, the general manager was dismissive and came across as rude in how the situation was handled. I understand policies exist and that accommodations can't always be made, but I expected a more welcoming and customer-focused response, especially as a loyal customer and neighbor. The interaction left a bad impression. On a positive note, the food is delicious and always fresh. read more

The absolute worst service i've ever had. Two thirds of my party waited for over 30 minutes for their food while we already were eating. We had the absolute worst worst server she seemed so stoned (Jennifer C). Very slow, never came to check on our table other than to take our order. She blamed it all on the kitchen, zero accountability for her mishaps. At this point the service was comical. This is absolutely disgusting, would never come back, and i've been to almost all the moteks. The managers were the only good part, very nice and hospitable. Never think of coming to this location!!!!!!!!!!! read more
