Frozen Coffee w/ Caramel: I know people call those Starbucks frozen coffee drinks "milk shakes", but Starbucks has nothing on Rita's! It's essentially the custard and some Italian ice blended into a delicious drink. You really don't need breakfast with one of these, since it's got enough calories to serve both your caffeine and meal needs. Salted Caramel, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Caramel Sauce Concrete: Felt like the classic DQ Blizzard, but maybe not as thick. I'm a caramel / dulce de leche fiend, so loved that I could get both the ice cream and the sauce. The chunks of peanut butter cup added a nice nostalgic mix in.

The four courses offered at $60.00 per person was much more than I expected. I could've easily just had just one appetizer, the Hamachi Yuzu and one entree, the Miso Block Cod and be content, as each were prepared perfectly. But we were showered with a ton of options. We mixed and matched the available Prix Fixe choices, that turned out to be an abundant eight course culinary experience. Everything we tasted...perfect! Azabu's wonderful fine dining experience, warm hospitality, quality meals, perfect synchronized service and sophisticated ambiance remains top notch. As long as their service continues to remain the same, Azabu will always be a staple while visiting Miami Beach.

The salad was crunch and tasty. The hamachi which was quite fresh. We ended the meal with the flourless chocolate dessert and it was so good! Can't wait to come back here again!

The veal Milanese was the standout; perfectly crisp, well-seasoned, and balanced. The insalata tricolore was also a pleasant surprise, a refreshing change from the typical boring restaurant salad. Service deserves a mention too.

You walk in through their outdoor venue, which is full of greenery and a nice ambiance. They lead you to the bar as you wait for your table. Only con about this is the bar was super full, with people sitting there eating dinner as well. It makes it awkward trying to order a drink and putting your glass down once finishing it. You also are awkwardly stuck moving around to allow the waiters to walk by. Once sat, the service is quick and the waitress we had was super knowledgeable and friendly. Out of all the dishes we tried the polenta was the best! It was perfectly creamy and tasty. That was my first time every trying it and I was pleasantly surprised.

Take a break when you're done window shopping and give this Japanese shaved ice truck a chance.

I wandered out and walked down the plaza to find a cold drink, but there was Rita's instead just 2 doors down. Perfect! I have never actually been to a Rita's, but I do love Italian ices. I stumbled in, selected the first orange thing I saw- mango, and order a small. The small was really big, so I asked for an extra cup and spoons because I knew I had to share some with my kids, and the 'small' seemed really large. I was not making the best decisions, and just needed to get the cold stuff in my mouth at all costs. Yes, freezing cold can help stop migraines. Usually I use a cold pack when at home, and I had already used some mentholly icy gel stuff on my head and neck, so this was the next best thing. Preview to end of this story: Rita's + migraines = a happy partnership! I got into my car, scooped out half for my kids, and... this italian ice was so wonderful, beyond what I was ever expecting. I am writing this review wishing I had some right now! Anyways, back to my car, my children were suddenly silent eating their portion of the ice, and my husband was looking at our portions longingly, and by the time I finished, I realized... I needed more. My husband finally asked for his own cup, also, mango, so now I returned back to the same very nice server for the exact same thing times 2, except I finally actually looked at the menu and realized the next size up is only $1 more. $1 more! That is crazy. How could I ever just order the smalll again? This time I still divided mine with my kids, but we all got more in the end. After I ate the second half of a larger size, my migraine was gone. Thank you to the compassionate, kind employee who didn't judge me or treat me differently despite my ridiculous 'I'm having a migraine' personality. Heaven. The mango ice is heaven. And thank you, Rita's, for offering a delicious migraine fixing solution!

A very sweet pastry chef named Hannah surprised my dad with a greeting in his native language on the cake. She came out to meet us and we had a pleasant conversation with her.

The bartender (Alma if I recall correctly) absolutely made my night with incredible menu guidance for my first visit and the perfect amount of chatting. I had the Catch roll, salmon entree, and the basmati rice side, along with a beer and glass of wine. The rice and salmon were some of the best food I've ever had! Nothing against the Catch roll, but the others were standouts. I loved the environment and would certainly go back, whether at the bar or a table. Pricing seems reasonable and is well worth it for how good everything was. I walked out at $115 solo and had no issue that. Note there is a 20% service charge included, as seems standard for most places in the area. They do a good job offering sensible tip amounts if you want to add more, at 3, 5, and 7/8% on top. It's a nice place to get dressed up and have a quality dinner. 100% recommended. You'll have a great experience.

Not only did I eat well, I ate really well. And somehow, so did the non-vegans in our party. Everyone left satisfied, which is no small feat. Let's talk food: the cauliflower bites? Dangerous. The kind of dish that makes you side-eye every other appetizer you've ever committed to. And the pistachio cheesecake... yeah, that alone is reason enough to come back. The vibe? Exactly what you want on a Friday night in Miami Beach--high energy, a little chaotic, but in a fun, "everyone's outside" kind of way. It felt like a celebration without trying too hard. Now... the service. This is where things dipped. Our server had big "I got you" energy with very little execution. Promises were made. Items were forgotten. And waiting 45 minutes for dessert--only to have it blamed on a printer--felt less like hospitality and more like improv. So yeah, it's a four, not a five. But it's a strong four. The kind that still has you plotting your return before you even hit the valet. Would I go back? Absolutely. For the food, the vibe, and let's be honest--that cheesecake and I aren't done yet.

So many people hate on this spot. But as someone who enjoys a chicken BBQ skewer and garlic fried…read morerice... this is the spot for me! There isn't any Filipino spots in Miami for real so this is the only place that I could find in Wynwood. I don't get why people say that this spot is far from Filipino food when it is obviously supposed to show Filipino food in a creative way and showcase street food too... But I'm glad I experienced it for myself and enjoyed my time. The chicken BBQ skewers tasted exactly how it was supposed to. So I know it was marinated appropriately and cased with banana ketchup!!!! I appreciate the chicken lumpia option. Not many people serve lumpia options that aren't beef or pork... so that definitely won me over too. My only complaint was that the beef tapas was not hitting the way it was supposed to. It was giving more of a bistek feel than tapas. I hope that I just caught them on a bad day or that they can refine that recipe. I'm hopeful that it can improve. ALSO -- really loved that Jamaican tea they have. Forgot the exact name of it. But I could drink gallons of it. Lol.
