Escargots Persillés
Alejandro H.

I'm going to start up with the service this time, because from the second you walk in you get greeted with a smile (something that's lacking lately) and right away you feel at home. Brownie points for that! Now onto the food. I gotta be honest here (although I'm always honest) but the food was excellent (IMHO). Warm Baguette with butter. The Escargots Persillés was so unique! It's a Bone in Marrow & Toasted Bread...it's a must! From the Homemade Foie Gras Terrine, Summer Truffle Raviole, Classic New York Steak Au Poivre and the special of the night Scallops! Perfectly seared, soft, juicy and delish! You can come with friends, coworkers for Happy Hour. The ambiance fits any moment but if you want to impress someone, bring them here and it will not hurt your pocket. For a Miami Beach restaurant, it's greatly priced! Ask for Julien, he is the best!

Oysters

Love the happy hour at Semilla! Beautiful and creative cocktails and plenty of happy hour dishes to choose from. You can't go wrong with any of the cocktails! I would've tried every one if my liver allowed it. We had the oysters, croquettes, calamari, and wagyu sliders. The only thing I wouldn't have again is the slider--didn't really do it for me. The croquettes were my favorite--the sauce is sooo good. I like how the vibe changes depending on whether you sit outside or inside. If you dine indoors, this spot is chic and intimate. If you dine outdoors, it's a casual vibe. Service is a little iffy, they seemed unenthusiastic most of the time and I felt like an inconvenience sometimes.

A few small outdoor tables, which I wouldn't recommend, as there's no view--just a street on which cars speed by. Sit indoors. Indoors is a chick, sultry vibe. Dimmed lighting. Red lights. Seductive music lulling in the background. Perfect spot for a date or an intimate gathering. Not a lot of seating, as the restaurant is small, so be aware. Make reservations. We came in without reservations and were lucky with the last spot on the bar. That ended up being a very nice surprise--we got to observe the chefs preparing meats and fish on the grill that's situated "inside" the bar. Cool concept! We were entertained all night by watching the chefs at work. A dinner and a show! Exceptional service: courteous, swift, efficient, professional. We felt that elusive balance of being checked upon the right amount without being bothered or abandoned. All the waitstaff were top notch. We felt welcomed. Food was delicious. Everything we had was solid and satisfying. $4 French baguette with butter came fresh out of the oven, so we enjoyed that crunchy crust and warm interior. $21 summer truffle raviole was the only item I'd skip. The white truffle sauce was delicious and we lapped it up with that warm baguette. The three tiny pieces of pasta were disappointing. Tough and bland and chewy. Didn't really understand what or why. Not worth your valuable stomach real estate. $12 French onion soup was standard. Tasty. Nothing out of the ordinary to comment on. $38 NY strip comes with fries, which were of good quality, not too salty, not greasy at all. The meat was on a chewier/denser side, since it wasn't as fatty, compared to the more fatty & delicate ribeye cut. $44 ribeye special was the highlight of our meal. The meat was tender and juicy. The green beans were perfectly seasoned and had a great balanced flavor profile. $8 chocolate mouse was very sweet. You'll get tired of the monotonous texture and sweetness after the second bite. Good to share, so that you don't get overwhelmed with sugar at the end of your balanced meal. Would return!

Branzino Filets

Delish meal!! Branzino served with broccoli, and pretty tender. Great presentation and even better service. Thanks for the great hospitality!

Great bar, vast selection of wines and varied menu make this a great stop in South Beach. They won best French restaurant in 2021. Prices are quite reasonable and the ambiance is great. They also have lovely outdoor seating in the front. I definitely recommend this sweet spot.

Fabulous and exactly what my group was looking for! The waiter was perfect and the owner was fun to chat with as he worked the room. The steak was delicious and highly recommend the Stag's Leap wine. French joint with French staff!

I had high hopes for this places due to the high reviews. The interior was beautiful and very romantic. However, the service was very poor. It took us an hour and a half to receive our food. We got our appetizers like 30 minutes in which were the croquettes and they were good. The duck was also good, however, the pasta was extremely average. I feel a bit disappointed because a lot of the tables that came after us got their food first. They also had auto gratuity of either 18 or 20 %, which is probably why the service was so bad. They don't care since their tip is pre-paid which is extremely predatory.

Friday 8pm party of 6 outdoors It was very busy when we got there. We sat outside but after 5 minutes , someone from the group wanted to see if we can move indoors . Unfortunately all the tables were taken but nonetheless , it was more of a preference so it's easier for us to hear each other and tough as it's directly on the street by a busy street . We managed and enjoyed our company over some delicious baguette , escargot bone marrow , beef carpaccio ( paired well with the l'ambrusco like red wine ), truffle ravioli ( a tad chewy for my taste ) , escarole salad . For main , we had the sea bass ( slightly too done ) to share , chicken and steak frites . Lovely ambiance inside with high ceiling, dim lighting, cozy feel . Attentive service by our french server . Could be a local spot for me if I lived on this side of the beach and in Florida . Love the bar seating, a good place for a glass of wine and to eat dinner .

This is a really quaint restaurant. We chatted with the owner and later on his wife. Their son works behind the bar. I love that it is family run. I ordered a few oysters to start. They were delicious and the sauces were excellent. I also ordered the French onion soup. This is a real French onion soup. I liked it but I prefer the Americanized version I am used to. I sampled the goat cheese salad and it was excellent. I loved my Beef Bourginion. I was surprised it had penny pasta. I actually had this dish in France and it was incredible. The one here was excellent as well. I do believe the chef and owner is actually from France which is awesome, especially since he is running a French restaurant. The croquettes were different from what I am used to but still good. The lava cake was so delicious. I sampled the Mojoto and enjoyed that. Service was great. This is a nice place to eat that is unexpected and just delicious. Oh yeah, I ordered a loaf of French bread to take home. I took a bite when I got hone to taste it at it's best. I liked it but thought Whole Foods and Fresh Market have just as high quality French bread.

Found a new speakeasy bar in Miami, South Beach and don't want to be cagey about it…read more Sagamore Hotel. Step up a few stairs, walk through the main entrance doors and beyond the sofas in the foyer is the entrance which looks more like an entrance to an office. The door gives way to slightly dim warm lighting, which creates an intimate and relaxing atmosphere. I sat at the bar with my husband and heard the bartender, Phillip taking repeated orders of old fashioned and espresso martini. I saw a table polishing glasses and glasses of wines and then came the surprise - their selections! Their selections were smaller than expected but thoughtfully chosen. We asked Phillip for his recommendations, along the lines of red & bold. He gladly pointed us to a wine that was not on the menu. It seems they offer a menu selection and off-menu/rotating selection from unique wine regions. We had a red blend from China (yes that's correct, it surprised me equally). But then I realized, I haven't had wines from most of the regions they offer and the curiosity sets in. Looking forward to explore the menu and off-menu selection. Perfect bar for date night or post dinner drinks and for all the wine explorers out there.

I love wine and I love Magie wine bar…read more What a gem of a place that embraces the neighborhood, has an incredible wine selection, and the perfect vibes for any occasion. I've been visiting a lot recently, and even joined their wine club which offers two curated wines a month. Locally owned and operated, I feel really good supporting a place that the owners put so much effort into to offer such a gem of a spot for locals. I've tried a lot of wines here, and I'm always amazed at finding something new to me that I enjoy. If you haven't been, it's the perfect place for a date, a girls night, or a day for yourself. They also have good snacks and charcuterie for you to munch on while you drink vino. Don't know much about wine? No problem. Their team will point you in the right direction and they have something for everyone. This is an approachable wine bar- they want you to enjoy the wine as much as they do and I love that about Magie. This spot has a nice indoor space and a beautiful outdoor area. They also have a sister location in the Grove.

There is a parking lot right on the side of the building, but if that lot is full, there is also street parking, and parking across the street in a lot behind the Citadel. The service here was great! All of the staff were very nice and welcoming. The set up of the lounge is also very cozy. There is plenty of space for people to sit whether you're on a date or with a small group, but seating is first come first serve, so if you're coming with a group it's better to get there earlier in the evening so you have a space comfortable enough for the size of your group. There is also indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. There are many wines to choose from and they also have a decent menu with light bites. We opted for the Dino nuggets and caviar which were a hit, the fried olives and some meats and cheeses with some cornishons, fig jam and a sliced baguette. Overall this place has a great vibe to it and I heard they host events every so often. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a nice space to chill with some friends and enjoy a nice spot in Miami.
