Fun Disco Domingo
Aileen R.

Had a great time celebrating their anniversary with friends at River House Wine & Bar. The food was delicious with something for everyone, the service was friendly and attentive without being over the top, and the ambiance felt warm and inviting--perfect for a special night out. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for good vibes and a relaxed, enjoyable evening.

What a FUN place. Loved the old mini homes built around the dance floor. Went for disco Domingo. Great drinks and music. Pizza and tacos were delicious

What an incredible experience -- truly a hidden gem. From the moment you step inside the retro bus with its leather chairs and cozy little tables, you feel transported. The tropical vibe wraps around you and suddenly it feels less like a night out and more like a mini escape to paradise. Justina's warm, thoughtful service made everything feel even more special. And on a packed night -- with a lively Survivor watch party in full swing -- the owner, Lester, still made time to personally stop by and make sure we were well taken care of. That kind of attention says everything. The customized charcuterie boards, carefully selected bottled wines, and delicious brick oven pizzas were perfect for sharing -- simple, flavorful, and exactly what you want for a relaxed, memorable evening. We left already looking forward to coming back.

Pizza & Wine

River House Wine & Bar was such a lovely spot for a date night. My boyfriend & I went around sunset and grabbed a cozy table outside. We ordered pizza which was delicious and paired perfectly with their wine selection that was both affordable and really good quality. We love playing monopoly deal & uno on our dates so it was the perfect chill setting for that. The DJ starts later in the evening which worked out great since we wanted to talk and hang out. There was even this sweet older couple next to us who saw us playing cards & ended up bringing out their own deck so we were all just playing separately but laughing and vibing together. It was such a fun and wholesome night. We definitely recommend this place!

Unfortunately, our visit was extremely disappointing. We arrived at the restaurant during the rain. Even though the restaurant was almost empty and there were plenty of available tables, we had to wait a long time before being seated. Only after I went back to the hostess and asked again were we finally given a table. We were seated on cold metal chairs. Because of the rainy weather, they were very uncomfortable to sit on, so I politely asked for just one seat cushion. First, I asked our waiter, William, who told me that all the cushions were wet. Then I asked our waitress, Justina, but she also refused. We were then told that the light-colored cushions under the covered area were reserved. I walked over and checked those cushions myself--they were completely dry. Despite that, we were still refused. The most surprising part happened just two minutes later. We were so shocked that I even took a photo. The same waiter, William, who had just told us there were no available cushions, came out from inside the restaurant carrying green cushions and started placing them on the neighboring tables. Naturally, we asked Justina why we had not been offered even one cushion from the beginning. Instead of apologizing or explaining the situation, she reluctantly took one cushion with a clearly annoyed attitude and brought it to us. Honestly, it is difficult to understand why such a simple request had to become an issue. It could have been resolved in seconds, but instead we were repeatedly told "no," only for the staff to do exactly what we had asked for just moments later. The situation became even stranger afterward. I politely asked Justina several times for her name, but instead of simply introducing herself, she walked away and stood behind the manager. I then approached the manager and explained that, as a customer, I have the right to know the name of the person serving me. Instead of answering my simple question, he repeatedly said, "I'm the manager. How can I help you?" I calmly explained several times that I wasn't asking for anything else--I simply wanted to know the waitress's name. He ignored my question completely and kept repeating the exact same sentence over and over again, while Justina stood behind him without saying a word. It was one of the strangest customer service experiences we have ever had. A simple question that should have taken two seconds to answer turned into an unnecessary and uncomfortable confrontation. Unfortunately, the service showed a complete lack of professionalism, hospitality, and customer care. A simple request was turned into an unnecessary problem, and basic questions were ignored. Service is what guests remember most, and unfortunately, this experience left us with a very negative impression. We will not be returning.

Great setting with different seating areas and bars outside. No seating area inside with AC. Fans are not enough on a hot day/night in Miami to keep you cool. For a 'wine bar' it was very disappointing as you only had 2 wines offered as an option per glass and none on the Happy Hour. You could only order them by the bottle. All drinks and on the HH offered, come pre mixed and are super sweet. Very limited food selection and although I didn't try the meats, the cheeses I did had no taste. For the price it was disappointing to be served the food on paper plates

We need more spots like this in Miami. Cool and eclectic wine bar. When you walk in there is a fridge with a variety of wines to choose from. There are also meats and cheeses to build your own charcuterie board. There is a full bar and brick oven for pizza in the patio. The service was a little slow, but otherwise great.

Loved this place! The vibes are top tier. Loved the music and the atmosphere. The charcuterie and pizza were soooo good. And loved the wine options. Service was a bit slow but didn't take away from the fun!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
