    Chicken Quesadillas
    Veronica G.

    Had the chicken quesadillas at the bar, they were tasty and came with guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo. The onions could have been cut into smaller pieces, but overall the flavor was great. Friendly and attentive service.

    Too much $$$ for crappy food and service. Bring your own or order from Uber.

    Way to expensive (see pic), service terrible ( 9% gratuity for 0 service). Save your belly for MbarK, affordable and 5 star service!

    Wild guess.. your flight was delayed? Missed your connection? Welcome to the club where meal vouchers will be used here at the Sheraton's restaurant! Don't worry you'll get a decent meal. We tried their American Cheeseburger with fries. Good portion size! We also tried their Penne Pasta, which I'd happily order again. We added shrimp to the pasta, so that it had some protein! Both meals tasted good and were presented well, so these are solid options! We tried their salmon, which was a bit dry and bland... The sauce and lemon helped, but it wasn't something I was looking forward to ordering again! Fresh veggies on the side though! Service has been really good each time! Kind staff. Comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. Very clean! Plenty of room at the bar if you need a drink or you're traveling alone. Would I choose this restaurant over another? Not necessarily.. but we were happy with our meals and it's conveniently located in the hotel if you're exhausted from traveling.

    After a long travel day, we checked in and decided to have dinner here and let me just say... 10/10!!! the food was delicious, the staff was super friendly and attentive.

    Plusses: they're friendly. --it's in the hotel --they have alcohol --hot food came quickly, which I appreciated after a long flight, and chairs were comfy Minuses: I was disappointed that though the website suggests that the restaurant is open til 11 pm or midnight, after 10 pm they switch to a bar menu which is less healthy. Luckily the server persuaded them at 9:58 pm to still get me something off the regular menu. --Back part of the bar area (which was the only part with tables open still at 9:58) smelled like stale red wine. --Dish which sounded healthy (salmon with no carbs, kale, etc.) turned out to be drowning in oily pesto. I did like the salmon itself, it was fine. But the veggies were oil drenched. Dish didn't come with anything else (like salad, bread, etc.) and not cheap. Would I come here if I wasn't staying in the hotel? Never, if based on this experience. Would I choose this hotel again for a layover if I knew I had to eat there? Probably not. It might be better if you arrive earlier, and if you're more specific about how they should make your food. But again, I appreciate that they were friendly, and that this hotel is super close to the airport and with better food than terminal food.

    We stayed at this hotel for a week and decided to give this place a try. For dinner we both ordered the grilled chicken entree. The bread/dinner rolls were hard, you can tell it was microwaved and was not a fresh batch. The chicken was hard and dried, the broccoli looked weird with its long stems. It was alright, the potatoes and 1 half sliced tomatoes were banging good. Would I dine here again? Probably not, it was late and we didn't feel like driving out. This place is also expensive so get ready to shell out some money if you plan on eating here. It costed us around $50ish for two entrees with just water. Breakfast is complimentary if you stay at the hotel. They give you passes for the days you stay there. Breakfast is a Buffet style with scrabble eggs, bacon, sausage links, French toast, oat meal with toppings. They also have a station where u can have an omelet made. There's also cereal station with milk and soy milk. They also have fruits and a bagel station where you put your own bagel and bread in the toaster. Overall it's ok and it's boring that they serve the same thing everyday but you can't really complain when it's free.

    Stopped here recently to grab dessert one night --yup, just dessert. The restaurant itself is located inside the Sheraton hotel and has a clean feel to it. It's an interesting spot. Half the restaurant is well lit with ambient lighting, the other half is quite dark and poorly lit --nope, no broken or turned off lights, just dark, not a romantic dark, just dark dark. The restaurant has a dated feel with an aeronautical theme. They serve a decent menu with good variety and breakfast buffet in the morning. The menu items are pretty pricey, though that's to be expected at airport restaurant I suppose. I had their chocolate lava cake with ice cream and coffee. The coffee was surprisingly good, and dessert was delicious. I guess it's kinda hard to screw up a chocolate lava cake, right? The staff were awesome, extremely welcoming and polite. Overall a great experience though I wouldn't likely pick this spot for dinner.

    I went here in the morning wanting to have a good breakfast and I did get a good one. I had some eggs Benedict with some breakfast potatoes as well as some coffee. The eggs Benedict and potatoes were good and I was happy to have it. The service was excellent. The waitress kept making sure I was happy with my meal and that I had everything I needed at the table to enjoy my meal. Actually she went above and beyond as I had thought my breakfast voucher applied for anything I had at the restaurant. I found out the voucher was only for their buffet breakfast which looked good but I had come in just because I wanted eggs Benedict. She was able to get it accepted just to make my stay worthwhile. That is great customer service! My one and only gripe was the coffee it was weak...and definitely is one area they need work on. Still a great place to get a bite to eat.

    I just want to say I enjoyed my stay here at the Sheraton hotel. My server Fonzi was amazing. He was friendly and made sure I had fine service. Only giving four stars because my salad with seared tuna was drenched in soy sauce and it was almost inedible. Anyhow, enjoyed the ambience. See you again

After the meal my kids wanted to seat inside by the window to watch how pastries were made. The whole bar across the window was dirty and lots of dirty cutlery were left all along. Besides us, no one else was sitting there. The mess had clearly been there for a while. Servers walked by it so many times and no one seemed bother by the dirtiness. Very disappointing.

The location is pretty easy to get to, although I'm not quite sure about parking as I took a rideshare and got dropped off in front of the entrance. Upon entering this was a small quaint space, cute bar area and a cozy waiting area that also included a couch and a couple of chairs. I sat at the bar as it was just myself. Peter and April were wonderful in regards to their service and their conversation skills throughout the meal. The tasting menu had several items on it. All of them were absolutely fantastic. A couple of other reviews mentioned that they wish the portion sizes were a little bit larger and I'm not quite sure. Maybe they just have a larger capacity because I left absolutely stuffed. Each dish was explained very well with all of them having a combination of savory, sweet, umami, and the presentation skills were on point. The one thing that was a little bit interesting is seeing that this is an Asian fusion restaurant there were no chopsticks in sight using a knife and fork seemed a little bit out of place. I'm not gonna lie. As this was a tasting menu every course was timed out and at one point Peter and I were having a conversation and April informed me that the next course was gonna be on the way. I ended up having to eat a little bit faster than I would liked to make sure that I could keep on the chefs schedule. At the end of the meal they give you a token to redeem in the cookie gumball dispenser machine. I was curious about this as all night a guests departed. I saw everyone stop at the machine, deposit the token and get something out. April informed me that the plastic balls didn't have to be left there. You could take them with you as I could not eat anything else at the moment. Such a fun idea and nice parting gift as well as a nice memory for such a unique experience. I'll definitely keep this on my shortlist of places when in Miami and would love to come back to try any menu changes as I really enjoyed the variety and again not having to select specific items and being able to try multiple dishes throughout the courses that were offered.

I dined here on a Thursday night. I was told that Wednesdays and Thursdays have a limited menu and on the weekends the menu is coursed options only. I don't normally love coursed meals, but I feel like this is the place to do it because everything we tried on that Thursday night was DELICIOUS. First off, they did such a nice job with the space. It's colorful, well lit, and inviting. The wine list also has excellent options and the waitress isn't trying to force you into the most expensive items. The wait staff are cordial and helpful and the Chef is humble and sweet in his explanation of the dishes. For wine, we got the bottle of tempranillo and it was delicious. We started with the focaccia and ricotta and honey. Honestly, it was the best honey I have ever tasted. They even told me where to buy it on my own if interested. Everything is freshly sourced from local farms and it shows. We also had the steak tartare that came with the blueberry capers. Those were a little weird for me but my friend loved them. We also had those delicious scallops that I believe were poached in wagyu fat. I don't even like scallops normally but they were exquisitely prepared. For entrees we had the boniato pasta and the cod. Both were deliciously prepared and I will definitely order again. But that boniato pasta that was sort of like a tortellini filled with boniato and topped with like a foam of citrus flavors- was easily one of the best pastas I have ever eaten in my life. The dish is creative yet light but absolutely delicious. This dish belongs on the show "best thing I ever ate". For dessert, we tried the lemon dessert that was light and airy and not overly bitter or citrusy. We also got the brownie dessert that was one of the most delicious desserts I have ever tasted. My friend and I fought over not one- but two portions of that dessert. Can't wait to go back for the tasting menu and friendly service!
