Everything I've had has been excellent, cooked properly, served at the right temperature, and the service usually starts off great. My one consistent pet peeve is that the service tends to drop off toward the end of the meal. Once the restaurant gets busy, it can feel like you're forgotten after the food is served. Getting someone to come back around for dessert, another drink, or even just the check can sometimes take much longer than it should. I've noticed this on more than one visit, particularly when the restaurant fills up. I also rarely see much of a manager presence on the floor. I think that makes a difference, especially during busy periods when the staff could use some extra support and guests are waiting for attention. Overall, I'm still a fan. The food is excellent and the experience starts strong. I just wish they could maintain that same level of service through the very end of the meal, especially when things get busy.

Literally threatening guests just for trying to pull into a public parking space. They were holding spots for their friends or whoever they felt like, and when we called them out on it, they got spiteful and immature. After we parked, they blocked us in, trying to flex their fake authority, then had the nerve to come out in a group when we tried to leave, trying to intimidate us and act like tough guys. This wasn't just rude, this was harassment and borderline threatening behavior. Crusoe Wynwood clearly doesn't care about guest safety if this is who they hire. I don't care how trendy the place is. It's not worth dealing with a bunch of hostile, insecure bullies in security shirts. Out of all years of living in Miami never thought of going to this place and now for sure never go. I'll make sure everyone I know hears about this place.

We've been wanting to come to Watr for years, ever since an SLS hotel ambassador recommended it as…read moreone of his favorite places. I looked at the prices back then and was deterred. Years later, we'd saved up and were finally staying at 1 Hotel South Beach and having dinner at Watr! It felt very special to be here. The rooftop restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere, with trees wrapped in lights, comfortable couches, and a lively mix of diners. The DJ played a fun techno beat at just the right volume, creating an upbeat vibe while still allowing us to have a conversation. I really appreciated that. The clientele was mostly younger and hip, nicely dressed. Our waiter, Joel, was enthusiastic, warm, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with. We especially appreciated his suggestion to order a couple of dishes first and decide afterward whether we wanted more, rather than ordering everything at once. His thoughtful advice and friendly personality made our long-awaited dinner even more enjoyable. The Ora King Salmon Tataki was good, with a lovely buttery mouthfeel, but the portion consisted of just five small, bite-sized slices of salmon. I felt a bit ripped off by the price and initially worried that the tuna tartare and other dishes would be similarly tiny. When the Bluefin Tuna Tartare, arrived, it was a really good size and yummy - it was a winner! There was a generous amount of fresh tuna and avocado, accompanied by enough lavash and rice crisps to provide a nice contrast in texture and flavor. It was delicious, satisfying, and a good value. We also ordered the Wagyu Beef Roll without the shishito peppers. It was so tasty and filling, and we were glad we'd followed Joel's advice about ordering as we went. For dessert, we enjoyed a selection of mochi in passion fruit, mango, and chocolate flavors (you pick the flavors), served with strawberries and blackberries. It was a nice way to finish the meal. Our dinner came to over $250, including gratuity. It certainly wasn't an inexpensive evening for sushi, but after wanting to visit for so many years, I was glad we finally did. On a side note about the all-gender bathrooms, there were several open cubicles that are open to the air at the top of the stalls but under their own roof area, so you won't get rained on when you are there. I liked that the fresh air was flowing through them. I did walk over to see the sunset, but with the air conditioning units, it wasn't quite the panoramic view I was expecting. Between the beautiful rooftop setting, enjoyable music, delicious tuna tartare, and Joel's wonderful hospitality, Watr was a memorable experience. It was a lovely, delicious, long awaited evening and well worth the wait!

Knowing my flight out in the morning was way too early for breakfast, popping up to ADRIFT Mare on the 25th floor of the AKA Brickell for a late dessert was the perfect call. The restaurant itself is beautiful and features wonderful vistas right over the bay. Just note that balcony seating is very limited if you are hoping to sit outside. I ordered two scoops of the "fruity tootie" sorbet, and it was phenomenal--packed with bright, clean fruit flavor. The portion size is elegant, so you could easily go for a double order if you really want to indulge. To top it off, the staff were friendly, professional, and attentive. It's a great spot to wind down the night.

I honestly have not been this disappointed by a restaurant in so many ways. From the poorly…read moreexecuted food to the lack of service and accountability, this experience was a complete failure. We were a party of four, and all four of our steaks were terribly cooked. Our server did a great job talking up the menu and making recommendations, so we trusted his judgment. One of his recommendations was a Wagyu steak cooked medium. He even confidently told us, "If it's not cooked correctly, I will remake the steak myself." Unfortunately, the execution was nowhere near the confidence. My steak came out well done, incredibly chewy, and difficult to eat. When I brought the issue to his attention, rather than taking ownership or attempting to resolve it, he simply passed our table off to another waiter. So much for his promise to make things right! There was absolutely no initiative, accountability, or genuine effort to fix a very straightforward problem. And the problems didn't stop there. The food overall was poorly executed, and the service was just as disappointing. I was also served the wrong wine, only to find out later that the wine I had originally ordered was sold out. Apparently, communicating that to the customer beforehand was too much to ask. For a restaurant that promotes its connection to a Michelin chef, the experience was honestly laughable. The food, service, and attention to detail did not come close to meeting expectations. What should have been an enjoyable dinner turned into an evening full of disappointments. The only thing this restaurant has going for it is its aesthetically pleasing interior. Beyond that, the experience was a miss across the board. Miami has far too many great restaurants to waste your time and money here. Save yourself the disappointment and go somewhere else. If you're looking for a similar atmosphere and view, go to Seia instead. The food and service are far better. A pretty restaurant can only get you so far. Without good food, properly trained staff, and the ability to handle a simple customer complaint, the aesthetics aren't enough. At this rate, I question how long this place will last in Miami.

Mediocre Food, Insultingly Small Portions and Poor Service…read more Unfortunately, Komodo was a major disappointment. The food was mediocre--especially for a Miami Spice menu--and nowhere near the upscale experience we expected. After spending almost $400 for my husband and I, I would have expected more. The portions were insultingly tiny, with the exception of the chicken salad. The salmon tacos contained what tasted like salmon "paste," and each taco shell was barely two inches long. They were so ridiculously small that even our waiter chuckled. The "half Maine lobster" was about the size of a jumbo shrimp, with no claw. The main course came with no sides so for $65 jumbo shrimp that was it. If you actually want a meal expect to pay extra for "fried" rice that was super bland and churrasco 10 oz extra at $12. So my steak meal was $87 and for that I could have had a real upscale experience at Daniel's in the Gables with upscale service and food. The experience started poorly when the four of us were seated at an awkward, cramped table with no legroom. We were positioned facing outward instead of toward one another, making normal conversation nearly impossible. It was a very strange setup for a party of four. Also, it was very warm in the restaurant and I would have asked to adjust but at the look at the servers face and everyone else I was afraid to say anything that something would happen to my food. The hostess also forgot to give us the Miami Spice menu. As soon as we requested it, the waiter's attitude noticeably changed, and the service went downhill from there. By the end of the night, the restaurant was overcrowded, with a very young crowd pouring into the bar area, and everything felt disorganized and poorly managed. Miami Spice used to be a wonderful way to experience Miami's better restaurants. Unfortunately, this felt more like a complete rip-off than a special dining experience. Komodo did not deliver the quality, portions, service or atmosphere its prices and reputation suggest. They should not be participating in Miami Spice as they have no upscale food to offer. My only regret is I didn't take pictures for potential customers to see how terrible this experience was and food looked. This was highly disappointing,,,save your money.

The round velvet red booths, the dimlit aesthetic, the live jazz singer...I can go on and on but you just have to go see it yourself. The service is some of the best I've experienced in Miami and that alone set the tone for me. From the host to the waitress it was a memorable dining experience to say the least. Now the food, wow wow wow. Mainly focused on seafood but with a a few pleasant surprises for the carnivore in me. Started with two delicious cocktails...Sunkissed which is one of their signature cocktails and the Ponce de Leon. Both were delicious but i liked the Sunkissed better because of the mezcal they used. Sweet and refreshing and packing a little lunch. Ponce de Leon is like an express o martini but made with tequila. Now as far as the food is concerned this is what i ordered.... Tuna tartare: this is a must and a 10/10 in my book. The tuna was melting in my mouth. Perfect balance of freshness and acidity. Oysters: started with 6 and needed up with a dozen. So so fresh, like literally out the fishing boat. Crudite: only reason i ordered this dish is to add some veggies but it wasn't bad ta all. Vegetables did seem very fresh. Arroz con pollo: now i know i said it was a menu mainly focused on seafood but waitress told is this dish was one to try the first time and I'm glad I listened because OMG. This arroz con pollo is more like "a la chorrera" style like us cubans call it because it's not as dry as the traditional one. The chicken was cooked to perfection with the crispiest skin. This chicken rice was the best I've had in years . Better than your "abuela's" home made arroz con pollo, to be honest. Burger Au Poivre: this burger made it to my top 2 in Miami. When I tell you that this burger was heavenly I'm not exaggerating not one bit. Perfectly cooked medium juicy tender beef patty sitting in a pool of this divine sauce made by the kitchen gods themselves. You know what? Don't take my word for it, go try it and come back to me. It does come with a side of "frites" in case you were wondering. Chocolate cheesecake: ended with this decadent chocolate cheesecake with a side of coconut ice cream to seal the deal. Again service was remarkable and that's why I didn't mind the already added 20% gratuity. The music was a nice touch and i believe it's every weekend night.
