After noting this place had such a high overall rating on Yelp, we were really expecting good…read morethings - and since we like wine bars in general, we were excited to try Sospiro. Our first visit here was on a Tuesday night. We arrived a bit more than an hour before their posted closing time, but the place appeared to be empty. After waiting in the main bar/dining area for a few minutes with no one greeting us (though I could hear people talking back in what I believe is the kitchen) we decided to leave. We returned a few nights later after having dinner at nearby Flemings, were seated right away, given menus and we each ordered a glass of wine. After our wine was poured, we were basically forgotten about and we kind of felt like outsiders here, because most everyone at the bar and seated at 2 or 3 of the tables all seemed to know each other: The guy who'd been our server sat down at a table and ate/drank with the woman there. The guys seated at the bar grabbed glasses and served wine to women sitting at the other 2 stools, but there didn't seem to be any staff simply checking on the rest of us. The one employee who did later check in on some dining patrons was walking around with his 1/2 finished glass of wine in hand while doing so. Needless to say, our 2 visits here were both a bit odd. Service, at least for us was badly lacking, and compared to another wine bar and a few restaurants we patronize in this general area, the pours we were given here at Sospiro were a bit stingy. Sad, too, as we really enjoy good wine spots and were hoping we'd found a solid one in Sospiro. Not the case, at least in our experience.

Barcelona Wine Bar is such a great date night spot! We came for drinks and tapas and ended up…read morehaving an amazing evening. Their white sangria was delicious, and they have some really good drink specials. We tried quite a few dishes, including the croquetas, patatas bravas, steak with chimichurri, Spanish jamón, and bone marrow. The steak was one of my favorites, and the croquetas were fantastic! Everything we ordered was delicious, and I really enjoyed being able to try so many different things instead of just ordering one big meal. What I love most about this place is the atmosphere. It's lively but still has that intimate feel that makes it perfect for a date. You can sit back, enjoy your sangria, share a bunch of tapas, and have a great evening without feeling rushed. Definitely one of those places I'll keep coming back to!

The food, service, drinks, and especially the ambiance all stood out.

5 Stars for GREAT natural wine, tinned fish, amazing bites and pantry, and a very comfortable/vibey…read moreatmosphere. I'd heard about Magie for a while from friends in the natural wine scene in Orlando and had to visit while in town. There is convenient (although somewhat limited) parking just to the side of the building, and entering feels like you just entered your cool friend's house. We almost sat inside on a couple of sofas, but opted to brave the humid Miami heat on the back porch/terrace since they were playing the World Cup game on a projection screen. The back is huge and has several sitting areas, including on an elevated porch with fans, as well as couches and bistro tables set up on the pavers down below. There is foliage everywhere and you feel transported (you'd have no clue this business was on a busy road). We got a couple of bottles of wine from their fridges, along with a smattering of shareable dishes from the kitchen (ordered inside). Everything was delightful and we were loving life (again- even in the humid summer heat!). I'd definitely return and enjoy the interior next time. Love a good wine and nosh spot and this is solidly at the top of my list when visiting Miami!

we stopped by here while on our trip and had a great time. The first time we went on a Tuesday and…read morethe atmosphere was considerably calmer, more relaxed, and more prone to actually having conversation. When we went on a Saturday, the music was just too loud and the environment was a bit overstimulating. The servers and the people helping you at the front are very friendly and willing to answer questions. The Magie plate option was my favorite, with the added pickles, bread etc being so tasty on the charcuterie board. I do wish they had more wine by the glass options instead of getting a whole bottle because sometimes that's not what you really want. The inside is decorated very nicely, but during busier times you might struggle to find an open table or seat as groups of just two can take up entire couch areas, and there is not much regulation of this. There is a nice outdoor area, but in rainny Miami you don't have as many opportunities to use it.

I came in for their "habibi dinner" pop-up and loved the entire experience. They we're serving spanish/lebanese bites and the fusion just fit so perfectly. Truly like nothing I had tried before. I loved it!

The inside tasted delicious. I recommend trying them. It's a nice restaurant with a big wine menu. That was the first thing I noticed when I sat down. The appetizers and small sharing plates looked good. It was a hard choice. I was happy with my choices of empanadas and can't wait to try other things. The dinner menu was smaller. I ordered the duck and it was delicious. I was happy with it. The restaurant was nice and cozy. I liked the decorations. It had bottles and books all around. It was different, nice. The service was friendly but a little slow. The food was amazing. I was glad I checked this place out.

Definitely a place I enjoy coming back to.

The atmosphere is absolutely charming, making it perfect for a cute date night, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a relaxing evening outdoors. One of my favorite things about this place is the outdoor seating! It has such a cozy, intimate vibe with a unique ambiance that makes you want to sit back, sip your wine, and stay awhile. It's the kind of place that feels special without being overly fancy. They offer cheese and charcuterie options, and I love that you can pick out your own meats, cheeses, and bread to create your own little spread to pair with your wine. It makes the experience feel more personal, and everything pairs perfectly with a good glass of wine. They also have a great selection of wines to explore!

I'm happy for the owners that it's always so busy, because clearly they're doing something right, but that's also the one thing that sometimes deters me from going. I miss the old days when it felt a little more quaint and you could actually find a spot to sit down and hang out. I love how relaxed and unfussy the whole experience is. You grab your cheeses and hams, they put together a nice little board for you, and you just settle in and enjoy. I still haven't tried the steak, but every time I see and smell it cooking, it looks amazing. And you really can't beat the live musical acts they bring in. Some of the best musicians in Miami come through here, and I love that about it. Lagniappe is just one of those places that feels unpretentious and home-like, the kind of place you always want to come back to.

As we eaited the music played everything from old school hip hop, R& B, to classic French tunes, it was wonderful. The selection of wines was actually surprising and ask all the questions you want, they know what their selling here. When deciding on the charcuterie upgrade to make sure you get the extras, trust me so worth it. It was such a wonderful adulting time. So glad a place like this exists closer. Its all fabulous here.

Now to the nitty gritty... The flavors were lacking. The Bao bun's filling was dry and lacking seasoning. The dates were ok The gyoza were so small and overcooked so they were hard and dry on the inside. The wagyu tiraditos needed a few slices of bread or crustinis- something to dip in the sauce. This was the only appetizer that had flavor. As for the good service being a tad much, plates were removed before asking and quickly. Almost felt rushed. I realllly wanted to love this place. I've only heard great things and was really looking forward to it. Been wanting to come since they opened. Could they have had a bad day, sure , but for the price, I'd expect better portions and flavors. I feel like they're cutting corners and we were afraid to order entrees and be disappointed so we decided to leave after the apps. Not sure if I'd try again.
