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.

I can't wait to go back and try more things!

When we walked in we were greeted by Sarah. And my friend who made the reservations thought she made it for this Monday and it was actually for last Monday.

We ordered our drinks and appetizers. (See pics) Everyone of the appetizers were well presented, the taste was delicious and the portions were enough for two. I ordered the lettuce wedge with a crab cake. My friend ordered the ravioli. The ambiance is perfect for date night.

I've wanted to try CVI.CHE 105 for years after seeing it highly recommended in Facebook discussions…read moreabout Miami restaurants. We finally had the opportunity during our latest visit to Miami, and I'm glad we did. The restaurant has a really fun, eclectic atmosphere, with tropical greenery covering the ceiling, colorful decorative installations, and dramatic artwork. There is so much to look at! I especially liked the multicolored string art installation, which added color and movement to the center of the restaurant. We started with the Ceviche Nikkei Tartare, made with diced tuna marinated in Nikkei sauce, avocado, olive oil, seasonal vegetables, and quinoa pop, accompanied by homemade crackers. We really enjoyed this appetizer! It was fun to eat, with a great blend of flavors and contrasting textures. My husband ordered the Lomo Saltado, with tenderloin sautéed with onions, tomatoes, yellow peppers, and cilantro, served with crunchy French fries and white rice. The tenderloin was tender and had a good flavor. I especially love a dish that gives you French fries AND rice! The fries were really good, too. I ordered the Wagyu Nigiri, which came with two beautifully presented pieces topped with gold leaf. It was delicious! For dessert, we shared the Misti, a three-layer volcano-shaped dessert with lúcuma mousse, chocolate cookie crumble, and Suspiro Limeño, topped with meringue. We really enjoyed the different layers and textures. It was creamy, rich, dense, and quite filling! Our waitress was a real sweetheart. She patiently explained the different dishes and desserts, helping us decide what to order. We really appreciated her friendliness and willingness to answer our questions. Surprisingly, the restaurant didn't automatically add a 20% gratuity, as so many other restaurants in Miami do. It was refreshing to have the choice, even though we often tip more than that anyway. Between the delicious food, interesting presentations, lively atmosphere, and friendly service, we had a wonderful dinner. After wanting to try CVI.CHE 105 for so many years, it was especially satisfying to finally experience it, After dinner, we walked about 20 minutes to the end of Lincoln Road to walk off some of that delicious food!

(The hotel is also a charming, reliably perfect stay on SoBe. Smaller rooms, clean, nicely decorated, and location, location, location. Not cheap, but not obscenely overpriced.) The restaurant is predictable. Seafood is so fresh, one might think the fish walked into the kitchen voluntarily. Preparations are both simple and exotic, depending on personal choice. Cooking is precise; plating is art. Tastes are deliciously above par. Service is cordial and professional. Priced comparative to market. This is one of SoBe's finest, with guests pulled from both local residents and visiting tourists looking for fine dining on the beach. If you're visiting Miami, Avalon perennially has highest recommendations.

For years, I had always passed-up the Poseidon on Washington Av. in South Beach,…read morethinking it was too much of an upscale restaurant for my social bracket. But, when I saw they were advertising a Lamb Gyro for $12 (Tuesdays), I took the leap. Seems it wasn't that far to jump. Although there were table cloths, cloth napkins and silverware, with room for a true dining experience, the fan sitting atop the bar, (blowing-off more air than necessary), and the plastic plants on the walls/ceilings threw-off any pretense I had of the place. When I requested the Lamb Gyro, the server pointed to an entree on the menu for me to approve. I made sure there wasn't another (re: pricier) offer. There was... it was the one he suggested. The gyro itself consisted of a bland (Tzatziki?) sauce that struggled to find my taste buds. Lamb (typically) has a gamey/slightly sweet flavor; these cuts seemed to be found from behind their refrigerator, (not from inside). They certainly weren't cut fresh from a spit, as they were old and nearly tasteless. The included slices of onion and peppers, delegated to the pita bottom, (instead of intermingling) barely helped. The French fries (included in the price) were the most flavorful part of the meal; although, they were an insult, rather than accompaniment to the experience. And, was that Latin (instead of traditional Greek) music coming from the speakers? Along with a 20% "Administrative" fee, I won't be tempted to venture in again.

The atmosphere is quiet, relaxed, and perfect for a leisurely meal or cocktail. On my first day at the hotel, I stopped in for a late lunch. Tania, my waitress, was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout my visit. In fact, every member of the staff I encountered while coming and going from the hotel was pleasant, welcoming, and courteous. I ordered the bruschetta, the shrimp and calamari salad, and an Espresso Martini. The bruschetta was fresh, with flavorful tomatoes and perfectly toasted bread. The shrimp and calamari salad was outstanding fresh, generously portioned, and beautifully prepared. The appetizers were so filling that I can only imagine how generous the entrée portions must be. Overall, it was a wonderful first dining experience, and I'd gladly return.
