Hal D.

Awesome experience here. Great food, great service and good ambiance. Some highlights were the fried bread appetizer, the first pizza on the menu (pesto and tomato) and the fried cauliflower. Personally I thought the fig and cheese pizza was too sweet. Fish was good (branzino with purple potatoes) and the papardelle was also great. Creme brulee was a little too burnt and bitter tasting.

I thought yeshiva week was over?! Lol Great to see a restaurant packed to the gills with locals and tourists alike! Space is very pretty and welcoming. Staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and may need some further training to handle customer inquiries and communicating with the kitchen a bit better... Regardless, the food was top notch and everything came out piping hot or cold as needed! Their artichoke dip is filled with generous bite size chunks of fresh artichoke hearts and nestled in beautiful luscious cheese! Their fish and chips (though we swapped out for the pear salad instead) was deliciously fried and had no trace of frozen fishynes. The truffle mushroom pizza could have used a bit more of truffle flavor but the pizza itself was beautifully charred. Their caprese salad was lightly dressed in a delicious balsamic dressing and my lunch partner said the salmon was seared as she liked it in her salad too. I'm not a fan eating milchig out but I would definitely come back here ! Added bonus, if you call a day ahead they are more than willing to accommodate any gluten dietary restriction you may have as well!

Goat Cheese Bites
Jacqueline D.

While visiting Miami Beach, I had driven by this spot several times and noticed it was always full (full for a restaurant during COVID). My husband and I took a very brief peek at the menu and decided to give it a try. One thing we didn't look for on the menu... meat. We didn't realize Rustiko is a pescatarian restaurant, and centralized among restaurants with Kosher listed on all menus. Not a negative - just something to note. We ordered the Goat Cheese Bites (phenomenal), Salmon on Crosta (good flavor), and Pumpkin Ravioli (VERY sweet). Overall the food was good, service was great. Wine list was rather short, but I believe it had to do with Kosher requirements? I'm not knowledgeable in that area, so it's just a guess. This is a great spot for anyone okay with meat not being on the menu! I would definitely visit again.

Carrot Gnocchi and Smoked Caprese Pizza
Antonella Y.

great food! i ordered the carrot gnocchi and it tasted fantastic. my partner ordered a caprese pizza with tomatoes and it was pretty good. wasn't very packed at all as we went on a tuesday night around 830 pm. the service was fine but could use some touching up. food didn't really take long at all though which a big plus for me. ambience could also use a little extra in regards to the music and mood. the decor was great though. i would return.

Upon entering the restaurant we were transported to a rustic and woodsy atmosphere. A glass of Merlot was poured for my friend while I went with Chenin Blanc to pair with our cheese filled meal. We started our journey with the beat gnocchi. Their light fluffy texture in a white creamy cheese sauce was delicate and delicious. Continuing onward, we tried the smoked caprese pizza. Fresh tomatoes were cut on the pizza in addition to a sweet tangy sauce coupled with a hint of rosemary atop fresh Mozzarella, the flavor just bursts in your mouth. Some of the best pizza I've had to date. Finally, we ended our journey with the pappardelle truffle. Which was decadent, creamy and delicious. Although there was a good amount of Parmesan cheese it did not over power the flavor of the truffle and mushroom. The service was friendly and the place was busy (even though it was a Monday night). Overall this is an amazing restaurant and I highly recommend visiting. I cannot wait to go back!

While on a getaway in surfside we came across this restaurant for lunch. The service was quick and the food was delicious and we would totally return! We recommend the french toast and the smoothie was really good.

the stale lunchable nacho style chips for a spinach and and artichoke dip; the bland stouffers mac and cheese; and the hot water - The image shows a wooden table with bowls of yellow soup, a spinach and artichoke dip with chips, and baked macaroni and cheese, along with a glass of water.

See all

We were staying at a nearby Airbnb and decided last minute to try this restaurant. We came with our…read morebaby, who was understandably very hungry, so I began giving her some crackers I had with me. Shortly after, the manager or owner approached us and said I could not feed her those crackers because they were not kosher. I asked if there was something suitable we could order for her, but options were limited, so we ordered fries, which thankfully came out quickly. We initially wanted to order a smaller steak along with several appetizers, as we enjoy trying a variety of dishes. However, after a lot of back and forth, the server strongly pushed us toward their recommendation instead. We eventually went with it, but the food was mediocre and the sides were very basic. We felt pressured into ordering something we didn't really want. Later, the steak arrived medium rare instead of the medium well we requested, which meant we couldn't give much of it to our baby. Wanting to be respectful, I asked the manager if I could feed her a Serenity-branded baby food pouch. After examining it for a while, he said no -- again because it was not kosher -- with no explanation or alternative offered. Overall, the experience felt rigid and unwelcoming, especially for a family with a baby. The food did not justify the price, and we left feeling that we overpaid for a disappointing and uncomfortable experience.

This is nothing like Motek or Abbale, not even close. From the very first bite, my taste buds (and my expectations) were blown away. We came as a girls' night out, sharing plates and ordering "just one more dish"... and then another. The Truffle Wild Mushrooms Polenta was incredibly rich and silky, deeply earthy without feeling heavy. The Pappardelle Tomato was perfectly cooked, vibrant, and comforting in the best way. And the Cabbage "cacio e peppe"? Unexpected, bold, and absolutely addictive. The raw fish dishes were also a highlight, beautifully sliced, ultra-fresh, and paired with bright citrus, herbs, and crunch that elevated the fish without overpowering it. The grilled fish was crisp on the outside, tender inside, and plated with a smooth, flavorful puree that tied everything together effortlessly. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is a whole vibe. As the night goes on, the lights dim, the music comes on, and it transforms into the perfect setting for a stylish dinner that slowly turns into a fun night out with friends. Chic, warm, and energetic without feeling forced. I left wishing I had more room to try the entire menu, but happily signed up for their VIP rewards program (available to everyone), which basically guarantees my return. Next time, it's another girls' night at Neya, and we're coming hungry. If you love Mediterranean inspired cuisine done with precision, creativity, and soul, Neya is a must.

I also tasted the chicken, which was really moist and delicious. My sister-in-law's vegetarian and had requested a vegetarian dish. They brought her a huge platter with beautifully grilled cauliflower steak and other tasty bites. We then had dessert which was a warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and fresh tropical fruit salad. We also got to meet the Chef, Jake. We talked about the theme of the restaurant (Kosher Steakhouse) and his various concepts and projects. There is a variety of different steaks. He puts a lot of care into all the sauces and flavors.

Although they say it closes at 9pm they wont rush you out at that time.i came late so I was worried about it. I got there at 8:30 , reservation for 8, my friends got there at 8:15....I was glad I let them order instead of me as they ordered the 2 orders of brisket and burned ends and some assorted other meats. Speaking of bbq I would say if you Are a semi bbq aficionado like myself and are in Miami or even Broward come visit this place because it smells just as good as the famous Weber grill in Chicago and that is not an easy feat if you are a kosher bbq chef. . The order came and it just melts in you mouth and if you are cutting it with a fork and knife so you dont feel like a scene from the show "vikings" then it will be very easy to cut.. It's very high class but not pretentious. Good people watching as well. Some guys are taking their wives out and some guys are very religious and are using this as the meal to deal the deal so they can pop the question to the woman they met last week or the week before. Such is dating in the chasidic realm. I wont knock it if I have not tried it :) My sodium level was enhanced and I'm drinking water as we speak for it to be fully restored. Not that it's a bad thing, right. The one thing I would suggest is that they invest in printing up some laminated menus as it is on one page on both sides.
