Great food, good service and a lively but polite crowd. We went on a Friday night, when there was a band playing. Great music, we danced a lot. read more

This place was disappointing. The service was poor, and we didn't feel taken care of at all. They charged us a $20 cover fee only after we had already sat down at a table. On top of that, they kept insisting that we purchase a bottle, even though we had no interest in spending $400 on one. The atmosphere felt tense because of the constant pressure to spend more money. Instead of focusing on customer experience, they seemed overly focused on making a sale. The whole experience felt uncomfortable and desperate, and it took away from what should have been an enjoyable night out. read more

We came in for a late dinner and sat at the bar. The bartenders were nice, but not particularly quick. The food options are plentiful and we decided on two apps and an entree to share. The grilled shrimp were delicious and the seafood risotto had a lovely flavor and was chock full of a mix of seafood. We loved it. The Latin band that played was really good. But once they started it was way too loud to talk. However, it was a fun, lively atmosphere and overall enjoyable experience. This place makes for a great date night or to celebrate an event. read more

I came to Neme Gastro Bar hungry and left extremely happy. The AI grill was massive juicy and cooked perfectly like it knew my intentions before I did. Escargots were rich buttery and dangerous because I could have ordered another round Diet Coke showed up twice doing its job trying to balance the chaos great vibes great food and a bill that made sense for how full I was this place understands food and it understands people read more

Great vibe. Classy establishment. Ceviche was delicious, as were the croquetas. Has a yummy espresso martini and a La Mula (Moscow Mule). There's a $10 cover charge for a table, and $5 for the bar. Supposedly for live music, which wasn't going on while we were there. read more

Updating my prior review: Through the years, I have stopped in periodically and had good experiences. This last time, I was extremely disappointed. The cocktails & appetizers were definitely sub-par for the price. When we received the bill there was a 4% service charge plus an 18% service charge (party only of 2 people). When I asked the server about the 2 separate service charges, she pointed out the fine print at the bottom of the menu that says they charge 22%. What is this nonsense??? I will not be returning or recommending this spot to anyone read more

Neme Gastro Bar - Just another Wednesday night at Neme... - Gastropubs Near Me - Miami, Florida

would not recommend this place. The advertising is very misleading. I went on a Monday because they promote 50% off the entire menu. I was informed ahead of time about the $10 cover charge per person, which was fine. The problem came when it was time to pay. Instead of bringing a printed itemized bill, they only showed the charges on the payment device and highlighted how much I had supposedly "saved" with the Monday special. There was no clear breakdown in front of me showing all fees and charges before payment. Feeling pressured and trusting the total, I paid. After getting home, I reviewed the charges and did the math. My bill was around $300, and based on what we ordered, there is no way it would have been a $600 dinner before the discount. What I discovered was that a 29% service fee had been added to the bill. Had this fee been clearly disclosed and presented on a printed itemized check, I would have been able to review it before paying. Customers deserve transparency, especially when restaurants advertise large discounts. A discount is not much of a discount when substantial fees are added afterward. Be sure to carefully review every charge before paying and ask for a printed itemized bill. read more

It was my first time visiting and we had appetizer, the patacon with guacamole, the skirt steak tacos, fried tuna chunks and the meatballs. Out of all, the meatballs are the best. The ambiance is good, if you want live music, definitely get there after 10:30 pm. We got there around 9:30 and the musicians were still setting up. Also be ready to pay a cover of $10 per person for a table. Overall, a good local spot for drinks and apps. Will comeback! read more

Yesterday night was a total disappointment about Neme Gastro Bar. My body and I tried to make a night there and it was a disaster. Drinks were definitely not top world quality, service extremely lame and presumptuous. At one point, after dealing with Hostess, Security and Service, we got to the conclusion that we were not welcomed here. Management needs to do a hard turn, or maybe is Management the problem. read more

Long story short, if you are not Cuban, don't come here! Been working in industry for 17 years, Miami, Jacksonville, Atlanta, San Francisco, Huntington Beach! Me and two friends decided to meet a couple of coworkers who were already here! Two of us had shorts on! We approached the security with our ids and the security told us we couldn't go in because of our shorts! Not to worry, as we are leaving we see a guy inside with shorts dancing with a lady! So we go back and asked him. How come there's a guy right at the front door with shorts on but we couldn't get in! Once we asked him and he had a second to think and replied to you with "he's the owner's son! And just because you are asking me now you won't go in at all". We didn't argue and just left! But felt unjust! We just wanted to make other people aware of the situation read more

Neme Gastro Bar - Worst security ever! Zoom in and there's a guy with shorts dancing right at the main entrance! - Gastropubs Near Me - Miami, Florida

I walked by around 8 PM and asked the server if it was appropriate for my baby and I to dine at this restaurant, we had walked by and it smelled delicious. Once inside the hostess with big pink pants proceeded to assist the guest that showed up after us, and then told me that there was no space for me and my child. She was rude and dismissive There were more than half of the tables available. About an hour later, I walked by and the restaurant was more than half empty. Thankfully, there are other delicious and hospitable restaurants In Miami. read more

I have only great things to say about this place! The atmosphere is a nice vibe with lots of bar seating space as well as low top table options. There is a stage where they host live music every night which is a wonderful touch! Firstly, I would like to say that they have some kind of deal each day, but the best would be Mondays where they have 50% off all menu items including food and drinks! The pisco sour is my favorite cocktail - the strawberry basil touch makes it very tasty and special! I ordered the oysters and skirt steak which were both very good! My friends ordered other menu items and all of them looked great and there was very little talking around the table once the food came, which you know means the food was great! I'm looking forward to come back here again! Pro tip- I would get there early since it does get very popular later in the evening. read more

Quick trip down to Miami to get away from the hurricane. I had a hankering for a steak salad and I found one in their menu when browsing restaurants. The space is nice and open with a small raised stage for live music (unfortunately none this night). There appears to be a little balcony above it with a DJ booth, the wall behind it decorated with old cigar boxes. My steak salad was great! It was completely different from any I'd had in the past, as it was heavily Caribbean-influenced (tangy and spicy dressing, plantain chips, fried yucca instead of croutons). The steak was cooked just how I ordered it, nicely seared outside and juicy inside. My wife was happy with her fried tostones absolutely jam-packed with avocado, and sweet potato fries. Prices were normal for Miami, portion sizes ok. Service was great. I'd definitely come back for a date night with good food and some live music. read more

Really cool bar/restaurant. Neme is an excellent choice when looking for a good night out with friends. Always great music and awesome food. Whether you are looking for a big meal or just small bites Neme is the place. Their tuna tartare is very good as it is the burrata salad. Crab cakes are good but definitely not their best dish. I would say that their service, drinks and ambiance is the best in the area. Crowd is usually adults and young professionals alike. There isn't like a dance area but many customers just dance near the entrance or anywhere they find a space. Definitely worth coming here. Fun place, great food. read more

!--Aggressive and Unprofessional Security--! Our group was kicked out after one of us knocked on the door to use the venue's only restroom, where a security guard was clearly using it for personal reasons. When he came out, it was obvious from the white powder on his nose what he'd been doing in there. He aggressively dragged our friend out of the venue and kicked him out entirely. The situation could have escalated if we hadn't chosen to leave peacefully. It's a shame that a place with so much promise is tarnished by such unprofessional and hostile staff. read more

So we decided to get together for some dinner and some live music and Our good friend Ruth recommended we check out Neme Gastro Bar as she and my good friend Derrick had been there on numerous occasions so we decided to check them out and I have to say that I am very, very happy we did. Now I will say that Neme Gastro Bar is very small and quaint so if you decide to try them out I highly recommend that you make reservations, especially on Friday and Saturday nights as it gets real busy. Ruth made reservations for us and they did ask us if we had a reservation upon arriving. I don't think you will be turned away if you don't but you may have to sure it out at the bar, which by the way was excellent as the mixologists were in full force. The crowd was more of an older crowd (30's +) ; also, as they do have a dress code. Pretty simple for men no baseball caps, nice jeans or pants (not extremely baggy) and a nice shirt (no cutoffs, sleeveless shirts or tank tops) with no open toed shoes. For ladies, just dress to impress and you should all be just fine. Upon entering the live music was in full force and I have to say the live back was awesome and playing everything from Steely Dan, Jazz, Sting, Bob Marley and everything in between. They were really good and had everybody singing and dancing in between the tables. When we made it to our table we promptly started ordering some Smoked Old Fashion's and Lychee Martini's which were all excellent. Drinks were promptly followed up by appetizers to get the juices flowing. For starters we ordered the Mixed Croquettes (Iberica Ham, Spinach and Cod), Grilled Octopus and the Savory Meatball's. I have to say that all the appetizers were phenomenal and delicious. The croquettes were so good we placed an additional order with our main courses. For our main courses, we all decided to go with Lobster Ravioli and the Pear and Gorgonzola Cheese Ravioli. As expected all the main courses were fresh and delicious. Honestly, initially my gut was telling me the food was possibly not going to be that good but I was very happy to be completely wrong as it was anything but. They really knocked it out of the park. You know grilled octopus is not always prepared correctly in restaurants and I consider myself to be a little bit of a connoisseur when it comes to Octopus and their appetizer was very good. Rounding out the evening, we ordered some Cappuccinos and the Crème Brûlée which were also very good as well. Overall our dining experience was very good and our servers were very attentive as well, considering by this time the place was jumping and very busy. After dinner we just hangout, listened to the live music and ordered some additional drinks to keep the festivities going. We were in good company as everyone was having a real good time as well. Definitely will be coming back to Neme Gastro Bar again as it was definitely hitting all the marks and we all had a really good time. That said, if you have not been and are considering trying them out feel free to do so as I am sure you will not be disappointed. Just remember to make reservations if you are planning on going Friday or Saturday nights. Wishing you all a great evening, Enjoy and Ben Appétit m'es amis! read more

Came here on a Friday night looking for some jazz. It was hard to get in touch with the restaurant over the phone, but we got seated without a reservation. It turns out...they don't play jazz every night. The night we were there was a live band playing the top hits. While it wasn't jazz, we had a wonderful time with the band, and the female singer's voice was amazing. Food-wise was average. We went with the fan-favorite - Tostones con Avocado. Ummm, there was a generous amount of avocado over the tostones, but I prefer just simple tostones with garlic lemon sauce. We also got the escargot to share - it was good, but nothing to write home about. But the restaurant was very accommodating with my friend's dietary restrictions. We also got some tacos to share - but both the tuna and the skirt steak were just too salty and overpriced (3 tacos for $18! And I live in NYC). As for drinks, if you like mojitos, stick with the guava flavor (or the classic). The passion fruit was way too sour and light. Overall, the experience was great, and our servers were friendly. But I would adjust my expectations for the food here. read more

And then Ordered some Tuna Tacos that were very delicious but PETITE So make sure you don't share I also ordered the Scallops which brings 5 pieces and are seared to perfection. And for our entree we ordered the Mixed Platter with Pork , Steak and Chicken. Definitely a great choice to enjoy different types of meats with a side of potatoes read more

Tonight's outing was with childhood friends. We went to a neighborhood local with a live band. Lucky us it was early and it was happy hour. Food & service was very good. We had wines and appetizers. It was extremely inexpensive. Remember we were at happy hour. All good and spirits 1/2 price. The live band was a bit loud which made it difficult to converse, so we took the party home. Total laughs and giggles. It's a possibility we return.. read more

It is what it is, another small swanky bar nestled in between Brickell and the Gables. This bar is right across the street from my workplace so I frequent it for happy hours. They have quite the extended happy hour (3pm-8pm) with half off drinks, $1 oysters and discounts on apps - a steal! I've been to Neme for both lunch and dinner a handful of times. Their menu is on the pricier side for above average but not amazing food, but they have great lunch specials and (here's the kicker) the entire menu is half off of Mondays! I always say: I will only have dinner at Neme's on Mondays! They play live jazz music every night which is an added plus. The service is up to par, quick and kind. The bar is also on point, even when they're rather busy. I probably wouldn't dine here if it weren't for their amazing specials. read more

My friends and I went for the live band on a Friday night and it was great! If you go, I recommend that you make a reservation. We were able to sit at the bar and ordered some appetizers and drinks. Both of the bartenders were friendly and attentive. We shared the octopus, the tostones and ceviche. All were very tasty. I had a cosmo and it very well made. I'd definitely recommend this place for lunch or dinner. read more

Location, food and service great no complaints. Mondays are 50% off everything, unfortunately every time I go, the music is so atrocious, within half an hour I have to leave. Not that the actual musicians are bad, but they have obviously not attempted to do any kind of sound check, or even take a look at the venue, ZERO acoustical paneling, it's brick and concrete, the sound is way too loud, but is made 10 times worse because it bounces off the walls. It's a shame the owner and the various musicians should take notice, either keep the volume lower, and/or add the very inexpensive sound paneling, felt under the bar and tables, do something, do anything to make the place bearable after 7PM read more

Very good atmosphere! Super cool people! Music, service and food is really good! Highly recommend read more

Pretty good place! This restaurant is known for their live musical band every night, which we unfortunately did not get to experience. My husband and I stopped in early one night for dinner to eat and order some drinks. This was one of the first restaurants we tried while staying in Miami- definitely recommend. I had the Pear Gorgonzola Cheese Raviolis and let me say, it was AMAZING. I've never experienced such a unique flavor before. It was the perfect amount of fruitiness mixed with cheesy. Sounds like a odd combo....but I would 100% try it again. Their lemon drop martinis are super yummy as well. Hopefully we can travel back to Miami soon! read more

My boyfriend and I finally tried this place out for our Friday date night. I had been eyeing for some time now since it's close to my job; and when I searched for it on Yelp, I saw it mentioned Live Jazz (something both him and I really enjoy!). We arrived around 8, it was early thinking it would be packed according to the comments I had read on here, but to our surprise, it was quite slow. Nevertheless, the lady at the door greeted us very nicely and asked if we had a reservation, if not, to be aware at 9pm there was a $10 charge at the table and a $5 charge at the bar. We sat at the bar, the bartender was also very welcoming and attentive, whilst the jazz players set a smooth tone but entertaining ambience. We ordered an Old Fashioned and a Bombay Gimlet (both on point) and an octopus to start -- the charred smoky taste and concoction of creamy potato and spinach sauce was fabulous! I recommend trying it! And then we shared as an entree the beef tenderloin plate -- wow!! The steak would melt in your mouth, so delicious, along with the roasted potatoes. All in all, I definitely suggest giving this place a try, but be mindful, it is not a cheap date. But it won't disappoint!! Also, I must add, we stayed until about 9:30 and they never charged us the $5, so that was nice and it stayed pretty calm.. not a lot of people that night. Perhaps it gets busier later on. read more

Been here once and will never return. This place is trying to be something it isn't, a high rated, high quality bar. It is far from it. Our night started with the hostess telling us there was a dress code. A dress code for this bar?! I was surprised but okay...that's the policy. Dress code starts at 9:30 so we stayed. We were just there to grab a drink anyways. Drinks were very pricy for the quality. $18 average for a drink I would rank at $10. The drinks were happy hour quality. The liquor was happy hour level. We received our bill and noticed it was higher than it should have been. To our surprise there was a cover charge of $5 per person when sitting at the bar. I questioned the bartender and was told it was for the music. The music had started playing about 15 min before we left. I was quite upset as I believe this cover charged should have been posted or we should have been informed. The bartender explained the hostess Should have told us. The hostess did not tell us and I highly doubt that the hostess tells anyone. This is a sneaky way of overcharging. if the business will be charging a cover charge for music it would only be fair to post it. If not I see it as stealing. I wonder how many people do not even bother checking their check and pay this cover charge without knowing. Bartender was pretty insulted I questioned the charge. Which really annoyed me. Said it would be remove and "there is a solution for every problem", but he lied, the charge was not removed. I would say the bartender was insulted because I haven't been the only person to question and challenge the cover charge. Aside from this the place is not very clean. Get rid of that wet carpet smell at the bar. Give the bar a good wipe down. I would also highly recommend a focus on improving customer service. There are so many better bars with a better vibe than this. read more

Enjoyed the food and ambiance here, came for the all-day Monday happy hour which is not to be missed! Bolitas (gouda/cheddar balls with guava sauce) were a favorite as well as the tuna tartare w/a hint of white truffle. Croquettes and meatballs were also good, my Italian friend was pleasantly surprised with how good the tomato sauce that came with the meatballs was! read more

My only regrets are that I waited so long to finally try this place, and when I did, got there at 10:30pm - just as the live music was ending. But despite that, I still had a great time! They serve a full menu until pretty late. The food is great and the bar scene is very laid back and unpretentious - definitely a place where you will want to become a regular. The owners are extremely welcoming and friendly and have done a great job at creating an atmosphere that makes you feel like you "belong". Can't wait to go back! read more

I took myself down to Coral Gables to dine and dance at this place, for a friends bday. I rarely make it down but when I do get out of my town for the night and explore, I'm always anticipating exciting adventure! The food here is 5 stars! Service is a 4.5. And pricing is a 4. I tried the beet salad. A MUST when you come here. It's so fresh and flavorful and the dressing is a perfect dance of sweet and tangy. The cheese balls are gooey goodness (but know that the cheese mixture is on the more sharp side of the cheese spectrum). The steak is grilled to perfection and pairs delicious with the fried yuca. You GOTTA try the octopus- if you're into that. It's charred to perfection; the perfect combo of crispy and tender. We ordered it twice! The tostones and avocado were, okay. I'd say pass on this. The ham croquettes are "2-bite" sized, crispy, and served with guava sauce. Talk about getting to your different taste buds with one bite! Genius! The only 2 forewarnings I will offer: **The place gets PACKED on a Sat night (so be prepared to be side by side - sweaty, nightclub style). **The prices of food for the quantity is on the pricier side. We ordered 3 drinks and 5 appetizers to share and the bill was $200. (Well $190 something). read more

This place has a great Monday happy hour. It can really vary how crowded they are. At times I've made reservations way in advance to see many open tables and other times I've been turned away or forced to squeeze in at the bar. My boyfriend almost always orders the steak and it's delicious and I end up with food envy. I've enjoyed the the salmon, tuna tartare, and ravioli on recent visits and all their cocktails are great. I have been disappointed with a couple menu items. The vegetable spring rolls had hardly any filling and you could probably get better ones out of the freezer aisle at Costco and the charcuterie plate while good came with barely any bread. read more

Hands down one of my favorite spots in Miami. From the vibe, to the food, down to the music. It is always a fun time and great meal. What I specifically love about this place is that depending on what day and time you go, there is a different vibe. Lunch in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday will be calm, jazzy and relaxing. Or, come late night on the weekend for a night of dancing. They have live music most, if not, every night. From jazz to salsa. Wednesday night is live salsa which I had the pleasure of enjoying last night. Hats off to the band. We danced the night away and enjoyed our meal and cocktails. Wish I took more photos but we were having such a wonderful time for my moms birthday, I forgot! OH YEAH and shout out to our server, ANDREW! Who made our experience that much more amazing.

There's live music every night starting at 9pm. I suggest making a reservation because the place gets real busy. Don't let the simple outside fool you, this spot is amazing!!!

Trashy and rude hostess, bouncers seem to think they work for club LIV, arrived at midnight for a night cap and they told us we can only sit at one of the 8 empty tables if we bought a bottle (of what IDK bc it's a small bar). We decided to pay the five dollar cover to stand at the bar which they later kicked a couple out of their seats because they were reserves seats after 12 am. We had one drink, live music ended, and we decided to leave. Terrible experience within 45 mins, won't be going again, and hostess needs to learn how to manage the environment when the place is half empty, open till 6 am so I can only image what the rest of the night looks like. Try Gibsons for a better experience read more
