The food and drinks here were enjoyable. The restaurant is beautiful and if you sit outside you'll love your view. Service was great, no complaints with the food or service. Parking is very tricky in this area so just a heads up. I met the manager who was kind of full of herself but that's Miami for you. read more

Pamplemousse On The Bay - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I've been to Palpamousse many times for Happy Hour and also for a Sunday dinner, and it has never disappointed. It's consistently a great experience. Happy Hour is especially enjoyable, with a fun, relaxed vibe and excellent drinks that are well made every time. Sunday dinner was just as impressive--the food was delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and perfect for a laid-back but elevated meal. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great spot whether you're stopping in for drinks or sitting down for dinner. Palpamousse is a reliable favorite for great food, great drinks, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Wonderful lunch at this wonderful restaurant on the bay. The place is gorgeous right on the water which is very rare to find in Miami Beach, it is so relaxing and finally a place without loud music ! The food is really great, the service was good, Alan was really lovely. I have been here twice now, it is definitely one of my favorites And by the way Wednesday thru Saturday they have an amazing lunch deal $28 for either appetizer and entree or entree and dessert. I just love it read more

The waterfront location of Pomplamoose wins the day. I've dined there on a beautiful lazy spring evening at sunset, and on a very busy Valentine's Day evening. The service and attention to good food was the same. I look forward to returning. read more

We had high hopes for this place. We booked in advance and were failed to be told there was a set menu for Valentine's Day. Nothing like their regular menu that seemed enticing. We were very disappointed with the service and the food. Our waitress did not ask for refills until the end of our stay and told us they were out of tea. (We were the first few people here) Steak tataki was not tataki style what so ever. Our ribeye was returned as it was Blue, doused in butter & not medium rare, potatoes lacking flavor. The Dover sole and lamb were both lacking flavor. Dessert was nothing special and just looked like a messy display of mush. Overall very disappointing. Very poor set menu. read more

Came here for an event in hopes of good views and a good time. A damper on the experience was the staff corralled the group into a specific area and would NOT let people walk around or wander to see the waterfront view. They policed the group the whole night, although the group was who was bringing in business as there were only two other tables in use in the whole restaurant from 7 to almost midnight. It was very empty. The only upside is that they offer fun mocktail options such as martinis or amaretto sour. The Amertto Sour almost tasted like the real thing and was good but they filled the glass with way too much egg white and very little drink which felt unfair and overpriced for something that doesn't have any alcohol. I probably would not come back, not worth the location and the offerings. The decor is nice, but again the place was empty. The space for the waterfront view is very small and you are not allowed to walk up to it, much less take photos with your S.O. or guests. It felt very stifling. read more

Ngl, the place is beautiful. But perhaps it's probably better a brunch place than it is dinner because the food is pretty mid. I was pretty satisfied with my tuna tartare but seabass was not buttery, nor was their steak wagyu (looked like a regular skirt to me, chimichurri kinda made up for it). The service is so good though. We were a group of 9 and with a reservation, we were seated quick. The drinks were a highlight. read more

1 star Because there's no 0 star rating available : STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!! What started as a nice, fun and enjoyable dine-out evening with the family ended up being the worst experience in a "fine establishment" ever. To give you a full sense of how bad it was here is the details of the evening: We were seated in an empty restaurant as outside was a bit chilly and my wife preferred being warm and cozy, only us and what seemed to be a manager's table where staff was sitting minding their own business on their laptops with visiting friends joining, a sort of mom and pop feel in a nicely designed and decided restaurant which appeared to be a fine dining place. The busgirl walked us in, no hostess available, sat us in 5 in a tiny table for 4. Took our initial water order. Our server then approached asked us repeatedly if we preferred English or Spanish, wanted to know where were we from and then asked us again if Spanish was a better option for the conversation making me think of what was the point of all these language related questions and remarks. We placed our drink order, a round of "Mocktails" as no one consumed alcohol at my table. We proceeded to order appetizers and the experience so far felt decent besides being in a cramped table in an empty dining room with bright lights(adjusted after a while) and piled up furniture and cushions (clutter and untidy)One of our beverages was forgotten, (now I think I start to understand the language questions.. ) the appetizers came out and we placed our entrees order. Everything seems to flow pretty smoothly despite the unpleasant and unprofessional chefs behind the line seeming extremely upset about having to cook as they displayed negative attitudes, slamming wares around, and showing unhappiness and frustration for having to cook and having to leave the manager's table, what a shame! We went through the appetizer course pretty quickly and the busgirl came pick up the wares and quickly after we were served all entrees, probably about 10 minutes wait, not bad. If it wasn't that during those 10 minutes I observed chefs who never washed their hands in this all time, with no gloves nor wearing hats eating from our food, tasting and double dipping with the bare fingers into pots and pans, observed service staff eating and a bar tender come all the way from the outdoor bar went staring into the kitchen and grabbed food from a pot on top of the chefs station and helped himself a little snack as well. After observing the chef in the kimono handling the duck breast in bare hands I was about to cancel everything and leave but didn't want to make a big deal and ruin my family night, I wanted to give it a chance, this was our second time here and the first one was a decent experience. The entrees arrive (meanwhile the chefs have slammed a few more pots and ate a bit more of the leftovers from plating- mind that the restaurant is empty and there was no need to rush and slam anything it only created a negative environment) everyone seems to be getting what ordered at the same time (positive progress signs) but one of the dishes smells well off, rotten fish!!(I am sure the chef didn't care for tasting that salmon..) my duck was over cooked under seasoned and full of germs. After having to wave at the server to come at our table and bring us silverware (yes they also forgot to pre mark the table with appropriate ware for the course) I inspected my son's dish and found the salmon being completely spoiled, we returned the dish and swapped it for the beef forestier, that after a few minutes of the chef slamming and swearing and a bit more barehand tossing and tasting it came out STONE COLD! The place is missing is a professional chef who knows how to run the expensive equipment that the kitchen carries and cares about people safety and know what to do with food in a professional kitchen at a high level. Once you start charging high prices you need to live up to the expectation and they fell way shorter than we experienced the previous visit and expected last night! I had the pleasure to meet the owner Francoise a nice gentleman who obviously felt bad about our negative experience, and while I appreciated his empathy I cannot believe he is carelessly minding his own business, in his own restaurant while his unprofessional staff is mishandling his business itself, it's borderline "suicidal ". The 50% discount offered didn't mitigate the terrible representation and reputation damage that his subpar staff who he picks and train and the extension of his vision and poor execution all this explained why a beautifully designed restaurant ideally nestled on the bay with the most enviable views in Miami Beach is absolutely failing with an empty restaurant and moody chefs. My wife was very ill all night, clear food poisoning signs! read more

What a let down. We were seated outside with no view of the water, and everything looked dingy and dirty. It took the waiter 30 minutes to address us and bring any water or take our orders. Despite there being two other servers, it looked like he was the only one doing anything. I was very tempted to leave and go to Baia Beach Club next door, which has far superior ambiance, view, and service, but we stuck it out. When we finally got our food an hour later, it was pretty decent but honestly couldn't wait to get out of there and won't be going back. read more

I went to Pamplemoose restaurant last night for a group Meetup. Everything was great, the waitperson, atmosphere, location, beautiful view (across the street from parking) the food. I ordered the Lobster roll for $28, big rip-off. I'm a baby boomer(old) so I didn't think to take a pic. There was about a tablespoon of lobster spread across a 6"x2" piece of toasted bread thing. It was delicious, but where's the food?! To be fair, it did say light bite, but for$28 I expected something to eat. I ended up ordering the pasta that my friend next to me had that I was staring at and dying for because I was so hungry. I didn't look at the menu so I didn't know that it was $48. Yikes. It did have a half teaspoon of black caviar on it, but $48 for pasta? It Was delicious, I say good things too. If I knew that the pasta was $48, I would have ordered the filet for $51. Anyway FYI read more

While visiting Miami Beach on a business trip from California, a friend had suggested to try this place, and so we did. The place was amazing! Francois, the owner, greeted us with warm welcome ... felt like a family. Food was excellent, drinks were perfectly balanced, and the service was second to none. One of the waiters even spoke French with my wife, which was a delight. And the ambiance ... we observed one of the best sunsets with the view of the Miami skyline in the background, which was absolutely magical. read more

Absolutely outstanding! The food is fabulous. The ambience is incredible. Don't miss this dining experience. Even the prices are reasonable.

Small portions. Disorganized service. Half of our group's plates arrived 30 minutes before others, so as a group we were not able to eat a single bite of our meals together at the same time (and no, it was not tapas style). A salad appetizer was brought to me 20 minutes after I had finished the main course, which was 50 minutes after placing the order. The restaurant was entirely empty inside and had about 10 tables active outside. If you are wondering, they do not have anything made of grapefruit (pamplemousse in French). The name of the restaurant made my friend crave a fresh juice or cocktail made of grapefruit juice, alas, it does not exist here.. The food was decent, but nothing great. Overall, the restaurant felt very amateurish due to the plain, small presentations such as a simpleton bowl of hummus with four pita squares (the kind you can get at Publix) along with the goofy service and roulette kitchen timing. Sad, because the place is pretty, especially that they did a lovely decor inside. Of course everyone wants to be outside for the water view, but there are strangely not enough tables out there. Reminds me of Covid, when everything had to be spaced out twenty feet from anything else. I had really hoped to like pamplemousse on my first try, but it was a bit disappointing and the group I was with did say they were not interested in trying it again. read more

We attended the silent opening to the newly open restaurant! Upon entering you are wowed by the decor with a wall at the entrance paying homage to the fruit tree pamplemouse, just like its name! We were guided thru the beautiful dining room and seated outside with the mesmerizing waterfront view. It was a beautiful night with sunset views as we sat for dinner. We were greeted by our friendly server and shown the selections for the night. We started with the black mussels with chorizo and served with crispy toasted bread, cut in bite sized pieces to dip in the sauce. The flavor was delicious and just the right amount of sauce to dip our bread. We moved onto our main entrees: yellowtail hamachi, scallops, truffled fries, and skirt steak with chimichurri. The yellowtail hamachi's presentation was beautiful with a taste of salty and sour and fresh fish! Absolutely delicious! The scallops were grilled to perfection and melted in your mouth. The fries were perfectly cooked and with a touch of truffle, yummy! The portions were great! What a wonderful evening overall! If you are in west avenue and looking for a wonderful date night place or to take in the waterfront views by the bay with delicious food then you must give them a try! read more
