After a long day in Miami that wrapped up with dinner downtown, I needed to use a hotel credit…read morebefore turning in. Knowing my flight out in the morning was way too early for breakfast, popping up to ADRIFT Mare on the 25th floor of the AKA Brickell for a late dessert was the perfect call. The restaurant itself is beautiful and features wonderful vistas right over the bay. Just note that balcony seating is very limited if you are hoping to sit outside. I ordered two scoops of the "fruity tootie" sorbet, and it was phenomenal--packed with bright, clean fruit flavor. The portion size is elegant, so you could easily go for a double order if you really want to indulge. To top it off, the staff were friendly, professional, and attentive. It's a great spot to wind down the night.

I honestly have not been this disappointed by a restaurant in so many ways. From the poorly…read moreexecuted food to the lack of service and accountability, this experience was a complete failure. We were a party of four, and all four of our steaks were terribly cooked. Our server did a great job talking up the menu and making recommendations, so we trusted his judgment. One of his recommendations was a Wagyu steak cooked medium. He even confidently told us, "If it's not cooked correctly, I will remake the steak myself." Unfortunately, the execution was nowhere near the confidence. My steak came out well done, incredibly chewy, and difficult to eat. When I brought the issue to his attention, rather than taking ownership or attempting to resolve it, he simply passed our table off to another waiter. So much for his promise to make things right! There was absolutely no initiative, accountability, or genuine effort to fix a very straightforward problem. And the problems didn't stop there. The food overall was poorly executed, and the service was just as disappointing. I was also served the wrong wine, only to find out later that the wine I had originally ordered was sold out. Apparently, communicating that to the customer beforehand was too much to ask. For a restaurant that promotes its connection to a Michelin chef, the experience was honestly laughable. The food, service, and attention to detail did not come close to meeting expectations. What should have been an enjoyable dinner turned into an evening full of disappointments. The only thing this restaurant has going for it is its aesthetically pleasing interior. Beyond that, the experience was a miss across the board. Miami has far too many great restaurants to waste your time and money here. Save yourself the disappointment and go somewhere else. If you're looking for a similar atmosphere and view, go to Seia instead. The food and service are far better. A pretty restaurant can only get you so far. Without good food, properly trained staff, and the ability to handle a simple customer complaint, the aesthetics aren't enough. At this rate, I question how long this place will last in Miami.

After two flights to get to Miami for a cruise, we asked around for a place to go grab something to…read moreeat and someone in the hotel recommended a sports bar located within walking distance. This was great since we really didn't want to first about finding anything fancy, we just wanted something low-key to grab a burger or something. I wasn't anticipating the sports bar look like this. It was beautiful, I had chandeliers all over the place, nice boots and tables. I would never categorize it as a sports bar. Had they not had a few large TV screens televising different games going on that day. The waitress was super friendly, and we both ordered burgers from the menu which were about $20. We also ordered fries which cost a little extra if you want them flavored with Parmesan or truffle. Both were very good. If you're in the area and are a sports fan and want to watch something in a classy upscale environment, this is the place for you.

The drinks was watered down due to them sitting by the bar for almost 10 minutes before being brought to the table.

Due to this being a NTTV establishment the crowd it brought was a bit much. The DJ was good too. I guess certain guests became overly drunk and it was a bit much.

The round velvet red booths, the dimlit aesthetic, the live jazz singer...I can go on and on but you just have to go see it yourself. The service is some of the best I've experienced in Miami and that alone set the tone for me. From the host to the waitress it was a memorable dining experience to say the least. Now the food, wow wow wow. Mainly focused on seafood but with a a few pleasant surprises for the carnivore in me. Started with two delicious cocktails...Sunkissed which is one of their signature cocktails and the Ponce de Leon. Both were delicious but i liked the Sunkissed better because of the mezcal they used. Sweet and refreshing and packing a little lunch. Ponce de Leon is like an express o martini but made with tequila. Now as far as the food is concerned this is what i ordered.... Tuna tartare: this is a must and a 10/10 in my book. The tuna was melting in my mouth. Perfect balance of freshness and acidity. Oysters: started with 6 and needed up with a dozen. So so fresh, like literally out the fishing boat. Crudite: only reason i ordered this dish is to add some veggies but it wasn't bad ta all. Vegetables did seem very fresh. Arroz con pollo: now i know i said it was a menu mainly focused on seafood but waitress told is this dish was one to try the first time and I'm glad I listened because OMG. This arroz con pollo is more like "a la chorrera" style like us cubans call it because it's not as dry as the traditional one. The chicken was cooked to perfection with the crispiest skin. This chicken rice was the best I've had in years . Better than your "abuela's" home made arroz con pollo, to be honest. Burger Au Poivre: this burger made it to my top 2 in Miami. When I tell you that this burger was heavenly I'm not exaggerating not one bit. Perfectly cooked medium juicy tender beef patty sitting in a pool of this divine sauce made by the kitchen gods themselves. You know what? Don't take my word for it, go try it and come back to me. It does come with a side of "frites" in case you were wondering. Chocolate cheesecake: ended with this decadent chocolate cheesecake with a side of coconut ice cream to seal the deal. Again service was remarkable and that's why I didn't mind the already added 20% gratuity. The music was a nice touch and i believe it's every weekend night. My advice for the parking situation...valet, because the garage actos the street is absurdly expensive and the street parking is a pain in the buttocks.

I was able to quickly find parking across the street from the hotel. There is also valet available. Street parking was roughly 3 dollars an hour. When we got there, our waiter took her time to go over the menu with us and answer any questions we had about the drinks. I got the drink with rosemary in it. It was called Biscayne Bay. It was so delicious! It reminded me of being in a resort sipping on a tropical drink. For my appetizer, I got the smoked fish dip. I have no complaints. It was warm. It was tasty. And the grilled sourdough was the best pairing for this dish. Now let's get into the ambiance. Our reservation was set for 10 PM and I really liked the fact that the music wasn't too loud and I could still have a conversation with my party. Once it hit 11 PM, the DJ came and truly serenaded the crowd. I ended up ordering an entrée of the Arroz con Pollo. 10 out of 10. The flavor was out of this world! I truly see myself coming here again. What a great way to end my weekend.

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.

Love the fun more laidback vibe and a beautiful patio seating area. The music was so good we were bopping to the old school hits the whole night. We had the Miami spice dinner for 2.

Our steak was cooked perfect and those fries were crispy edges and moist in the inside. The spicy Alla vodka served with the burrata was so good! Plenty of food for two people. Our waitress and staff were so attentive. Our water glass was never not full. Jason brought out a sweet surprise the s'more platter with fire to roast our marshmallow at the table. We also had the crème brûlée and clafoutis. Warm Raspberry with vanilla ice cream. Our Hugo spritz was soo good and served in a big glass.

I stopped by this last Saturday to meet some friends and pregame before continuing the rest of the evening. There was also a nice hip-hop beat spun by a DJ. The four chicken tenders I enjoyed from their happy hour menu were pretty good. I did ask to substitute the cream sauce they came with with ketchup. They didn't have barbecue sauce though. My drink was an espresso martini with a nice head of foam and garnished with three coffee beans. It was well blended, and perfect for a pregame buzz. Our bartender was pretty attentive. I would definitely stop by again!

We ended up here because a girl outside was handing out promo cards after the bar we actually…read morewanted was packed. To be fair, they told us they'd only been open about three weeks, so hopefully they're still working through the growing pains. We even asked if this was a club because the music was that loud. You had to practically yell just to talk to the person next to you. While we were standing outside deciding, they brought us the menu and talked up how amazing the food was. We were a party of eight. The youngest person was 35. We weren't looking for the Miami nightclub experience--we just wanted somewhere to grab food, have a drink, and watch the World Cup. So we sat down...and then got told we could only order from the late-night menu. That would've been nice to know before we came in. The A/C either wasn't working or wasn't winning the battle because it was HOT. Our beers came out looking like they were 90% foam. I honestly don't blame the server for that, though. She also had to practically do a squat every time she came to the table because the seating is so low. The biggest issue is that this place doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. Is it a nightclub? A sports bar? A fancy restaurant? Pick one. Right now it's trying to be all of them, and it doesn't really succeed at any. A spork isn't a great spoon or a great fork. Then there was the service. Our server decided to memorize all eight orders instead of writing anything down. We actually started taking bets on whether she'd get it right. She didn't. At least one meal never got put in and had to be remade. By the time it finally came out, everyone else had already finished eating. The food itself was...fine. Not bad, but definitely not worth the hype we got outside. I hope they get everything figured out because opening a new place is tough. But after this experience, I don't really have a reason to come back. Wishing them the best.
