On further research it turns out this place is relatively new, see what I found out on the good old net - Originally constructed in 2003, the Cruz Building in Coconut Grove recently underwent some restoration work to its interior. The facade resembles a French row house, with natural keystone and travertine columns, iron balconies, authentic gas-flame lanterns, and Gothic stone sculptures. A good portion of the building's contents are architectural European and French New Orleans antiques. In my defense they do feature antiques inside, (pheww, I have a reputation to defend here!!!) What can I say? I love history, and they DID should an awesome job, it authentically looks old. I am still a fan and my review is still a 5 star.

Not that it matters because the people carving couldn't speak English and didn't know what the sauces were. Meh: -French toast- OK. Cold. Maple syrup is CORN SYRUP, NOT MAPLE SYRUP -Bread pudding- flavorless creme anglaise though. COLD. BAD: -Oysters- dry and room temperature. No signs on sauces -Shrimp- boiled to death- so rubbery they were inedible -mini "lobster"- over cooked, odd texture, no flavor -Pasta- lean cuisine is better -"Paella"- mushy, flavorless, gross. -Miso Salmon- FISHY. NOT OK TO EAT. -Sushi- better at whole foods -Eggs benedict- nicely poached eggs. COLD. Flavorless gelatin "hollandaise", soggy English muffin. Crusty old Canadian bacon -Bacon- tough, flavorless, cold -Breakfast Potatoes- COLD, DRY, Flavorless, wrinkled and shriveled up from sitting under some heat element -Hummus- Flavorless, obviously not made in house. There was no butter or edible rolls, just soft sticks and soft doughy balls. Cheese selection was cubed cheddar etc (think cheap platter from Albertsons for a work event) SERVICE: Waiter was automatically tipped $50 (there were 2 of us). His ONLY job was to bring water, juice and a mimosa or Bellini. - HAD TO GET UP THREE TIMES AND ASK SOMEONE ELSE FOR WATER. THREE TIMES!!!!! -Other people cleared the plates. So he got $50 for pouring 2 glasses of water, one OJ and one mimosa (she asked for a Bellini). This is not only NOT worth the money, it was just a BAD BRUNCH. NOT ONE THING WAS WARM, let alone hot. TERRIBLE.

What a fantastic night spent at The Hangar for the opening of SOBE WFF 2026! The Naughty Bites…read moreevent was hosted by The Naughty Fork as part of The Hangar series. We didn't want to be bothered by parking so we took an uber back and forth. We arrived around 8:45pm to find the line already around the block! Staff moved fast, scanning tickets of everyone in line and handing out wristbands. Once 9pm reached, lines moved fast and we were in! Having this event in a plane hangar was an excellent idea. It gave the event an elevated touch. We entered and got the party going right away! Got drinks and started our rounds sampling all of the delicious food. No vendor disappointed! Some of my favs included Sufrat Mediterranean, Sun-kissed cocktails, ceviches by Divino and Mai - Kai restaurant. The SOBE DJs kept the vibes going all night and there were lots of opportunities for photos. I appreciated the outside patio setting for getting some air as the hangar got a little stuffy as the crowd grew. My only thought is maybe they needed more than 2 bars. As the nights went on, the lines grew increasingly longer and I gave up on getting a second drink. Overall we had a lovely night out and already looking forward to next year!

The space was divided into three sections: The cocktail area is outdoors where we arrived and waited to enter the main space. This area is nice and spacious, the only complain is the floor is not level so it was not too high heel friendly. The second area is the dining hall which was so nicely decorated. The third and best is the dance floor! It has a bar integrated within and was super close to the bathrooms. Overall, it was such a nice evening, loved being able to celebrate love in such a nice place!

The Cuban food is truly the best of the best--authentic, fresh, and absolutely delicious! The juices are phenomenal, especially the ginger limeade. The ambiance is so unique and beautiful, surrounded by lush plants and wide-open spaces. It's such a wonderful, family-friendly place with something for everyone. We visited on a perfect breezy day, but since it's all outdoors, I'd definitely recommend checking the weather before going. I can only imagine how cozy it must feel on a cooler day! I can't wait to come back!

The animal playground is absolutely unique you won't find another spot like this in Homestead or Miami. Children can interact with the animals in a safe, fun environment while parents unwind, making it the perfect outing for the whole family. The food is fresh, flavorful, and way above what you'd expect from a typical family spot. You can tell everything is made with care, and there are options for both kids and adults. Between the delicious food, friendly service, and the one-of-a-kind atmosphere, Royd's offers an experience that feels special every time. If you're looking for something different to do with the family, this is the place. Royd's really combines the best of both worlds play, nature, and great eats all in one spot.

There are great restaurants here to check out Giralda street is now closed off and there are so many new restaurants that you can actually join. It is nice to sit in the middle of the plaza and enjoy a glass of wine or a beer from the local restaurant. although Giralda is off miracle Mile, I still consider it part of the mile. On the mile there's always different things to do. There's always some festival or happening that keeps the community engaged with their own city. They have great happy hours, and a lot of options for a cheaper meal or a cheaper cocktail. I definitely suggest this area if you want to hang out go out and feel safe. There are always police around fire rescue and the community is nice.
