The seared salmon sushi was incredibly fresh, the Chicken Katsu Carbonara Udon was rich and flavorful, and the steak with ponzu sauce was easily the standout of the night. The ambiance was lively without being over the top, service was attentive throughout the evening, and the overall experience felt polished and enjoyable. If you're spending time at Aventura Mall and looking for great food, well-made cocktails, and a fun atmosphere, Joey is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back.

I had been to their different place and fell in love with their butter squash soup. (Unfortunately,…read morethe place was closed ) They have $35 pre fixed lunch which comes with appetizers, main, and drink or dessert on the weekend, too. I started with butter squash soup. It was amazing just like I remembered. The skirt steak was cooked right with homemade chimichuri sauce. The service was friendly and prompt. The outside patio is perfect if the weather permits. Oh, only negative part? Flies....but besides that, it was lovely to sit outside.

I sat at the bar which was readily available and quickly greeted given a menu. The place is quaint in size but big in personality, and they have more seating than you'd anticipate from the outside. I appreciated the size of the menu, a variety of options, but not too large, and they had special brunch menu offerings for the weekend. I got a beer and the fried fish sandwich. The fish was flaky and perfectly cooked, and somehow, despite it being deep friend, it wasn't the least bit greasy! The bun was squishy, and the slaw was a glorious addition. Oh and the fries? I could've eaten another portion they were sweet, salty, crispy, soft: perfection. So ya, in case you didn't catch on: 5 for sure, and I WILL be back.

You walk in and immediately feel that local, unpretentious energy that's been missing from a lot of the scene. Do I love that it's on Biscayne? Not really. But the food more than makes up for it. For a bar-style environment, the food is consistently very good. Not just "good for a bar" ... like its actually good. The burger is a must (im pescatarian but my friend said it was delicious!) and their Eggs Benedict at brunch is easily one of my favorites in the area. Pair it with a Bloody Mary and you're set. their happy hour pricing is refreshingly reasonable, which is rare around here. I was talking to one of the bartenders and found out even their bread is made in-house. That kind of consistency and care, especially at these price points, is not easy to maintain and you can feel it in the food. It seems that their leadership (owner or manager, not totally sure) has always been present when I've gone and brings a great energy to the space. It trickles down to the staff and the overall vibe. You feel welcomed!!! I this is the kind of place that deserves real support. It's local, it's consistent, it's affordable, and it actually feels like a community spot -- something Miami desperately needs more of.

The chicken was a large piece of chicken breast that was cooked very well with a lot of flavor. I place some of the hot sauce that they have on top of my food and it was oh so good, plus I also ordered a side of grits with cheese. I was not disappointed!! The grits were excellent, didn't even have to add salt. The restaurant was not crowded, it was quiet and the customer service was great!! Go order the Chicken & Waffle Benedict with a side of cheese grits, you would walk out happy and full. Thank you to the chef or chefs for great food and thank you to the employees for excellent customer service. I will be going back. Oh yes, sorry for no photos, I just started eating right away. I will definitely take photos next time.

Super disappointed with this place…read more Pros: The potatoes and eggs were good & the hot sauce has great flavor! Cons: First thing I did was use the restroom which had a horrible smell and the toilet needed cleaning. The service was good at first then fell off after we ordered our food- which was strange because it was not busy at all. We ordered the screwdriver & peach Bellini to drink. Steak & eggs and the Untoasted breakfast + side of ham. The screwdriver had an odd taste & the ham was extremely soft/squishy/seemed uncooked internally. The steak was not cooked well- but acceptable enough to eat. Our server never checked on us after we got our food which sucks because we needed a few things. A different server ended up walking by much later and asked if we needed help which is when I told her I'd like to send back the ham and screwdriver- both of which I barely took a bite/sip out of. I just told her I didn't like them and she got a bit of an attitude and wanted specifics as to why I didn't like it. I just reiterated i didn't like it and won't be consuming either so please take it back. We finished our food and no one ever came to our table again- while the workers were walking around helping the 5 other tables or talking amongst themselves. After sitting for 15+ minutes with our finished food, I just went to the front and waited for someone to check us out. I don't recommend this place and will not be back.

Everything is finished an upscale way. Wine selection is limited but they had a red, white and rose Prosecco. Staffed by two people with an older gentlemen playing a piano of classics, the vibe is busy but also chill. You can easily wash the day away for two hours. The Gala for breakfast has wonderful food. Indoor and outdoor seating, near the 7th floor pool. The buffet is standard fare with a few differences. We chose to eat from Menu as the $29 seemed a bit steep. Which is crazy because the dinner Caesar salad for $15 is large and delicious. So maybe it's finding the value in each menu - breakfast or dinner. The staff was a tad slow to get us started but then rallied with unstoppable service. From opening sauces and jams to pouring endless coffee. We enjoyed our side of bacon and English muffins. The whipped butter is a nice touch. Can recommend both the bar and the restaurant. aventura is positioned about a 40 minute Uber from downtown Miami and downtown FTL. A nice upscale area with lots of options. recommend and we will be back after our next cruise.

I remember celebrating once or twice at the old Lou's Beer Garden in North Beach a few years back…read more This area is my usual beach spot whether to tan or the full moon at night. I was glad that to have this new old option. There are few dishes that go better at the beach than a good burger! The space itself is essentially the lobby / pool bar of a hotel. There's an actual swimming pool that can be used up to sundown. I didn't get into the pool this time since I went essentially at dinner time, but do plan to come back earlier another time. This afternoon I grabbed a spot at the bar and started off with a glass of Sauv Blanc. It was light, refreshing and not overly dry. I was also complemented with a few baguette slices and a yummy hummus, perfect while waiting for my main course. Served with a generous bucket of fries, the "Hidden Burger" was delicious! As usual, I ordered it medium well and it retained a juicy flavor. Coupled with sweet caramelized onions and melted provolone cheese this flavorful plate was huge enough to enjoy half and bring leftovers. It was huge, large & messy - the way a burger should be!

Walking past the building a few weeks ago, I saw that there was a NEW operator in there and couldn't wait to visit. We have been twice already. They have really interesting cocktails (although a bit sweet for me) and a brief but impressive beer selection. I haven't sampled the wines yet, but I think the operators are Argentinian, so I expect good things there. The food is fantastic! Way beyond basic. We've had the caviar fries, the fish sandwich and definitely something else that I can't remember! But trust me, all of the food is delicious! Prices are reasonable for what you get, and they have a good happy hour, with extended hours on Thursday. The new owners have upgraded the outdoor space so now it's chic and Hampton-y! The staff is friendly and engaged. One thing to note is that it is entirely outside! They have umbrellas and some fans, but just be aware before your visit if there is rain in the forecast or if it's particularly Miami (ie: hot and humid). On the other hand, there is a pool and you can go in it to cool off! No skinny dipping!
