We had the grande platter charcuterie that he prepared right in front of us. He took the time to tell us about his business and specialties. For drinks, we had the white sangria, healthy gut, and a Nicaraguan lager. All were fantastic! I was impressed that the bar had a very swanky appearance but the atmosphere was super welcoming. This one was quite the find!

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.

The music was also at the perfect volume, so we could actually enjoy our conversation. The service was excellent! Our waitress Casey was super friendly and welcoming. She explained how the menu worked and gave us some helpful recommendations since it was our first time there. We ordered the patatas bravas, croquetas, flank steak and half seafood paella. My favorites were definitely the patatas bravas, croquetas and flank steak! The patatas bravas were so good and tasted just like the ones you'd have in Spain. It's honestly rare for me to find them done this well in the U.S. The flank steak was also cooked perfectly, super tender and the chimichurri complemented it so well. The croquetas were delicious too! The paella, on the other hand, was just okay. Nothing really stood out about it. I also tried the Passenger Princess cocktail and it was delicious! Super fruity and refreshing. For dessert, we had the flan, which I really enjoyed because it had a nice, firm consistency instead of being watery like at some other places.

The $7 sliders are a must; they're super juicy. I'm also a big fan of the truffle pasta and the cheesy croquettes. If you're into oysters, they do a $1 special on Wednesdays that's hard to beat. The wine list is solid, too. You can tell the owner really puts effort into picking bottles that actually pair well with the food. The staff is super friendly, and the place runs like a well-oiled machine. We will definitely be back whenever we're in the neighborhood.

The atmosphere was lively, fun, and bustling. The bartenders were very friendly, and I found out one of them is the owner's son, which added a nice personal touch. I loved that the owner/chef was preparing many of the dishes right in front of guests in the center of the bar area -- such a cool experience to watch. The rosé on happy hour was excellent, and I happened to come on $1 oyster Wednesday night, which was an unexpected bonus. The oysters were small but fresh and delicious. I also had the mini ahi tacos and the mussels. The mussels were amazing, especially with the creamy sauce -- and the baguette was perfect for soaking up every last bit. The mini tacos were also a great choice, with three generous portions for happy hour. The crowd was friendly and seemed to be mostly locals, which gave it a welcoming neighborhood feel. I even met a few people while I was there, which made the night even more enjoyable. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

I'd heard about Magie for a while from friends in the natural wine scene in Orlando and had to visit while in town. There is convenient (although somewhat limited) parking just to the side of the building, and entering feels like you just entered your cool friend's house. We almost sat inside on a couple of sofas, but opted to brave the humid Miami heat on the back porch/terrace since they were playing the World Cup game on a projection screen. The back is huge and has several sitting areas, including on an elevated porch with fans, as well as couches and bistro tables set up on the pavers down below. There is foliage everywhere and you feel transported (you'd have no clue this business was on a busy road). We got a couple of bottles of wine from their fridges, along with a smattering of shareable dishes from the kitchen (ordered inside). Everything was delightful and we were loving life (again- even in the humid summer heat!). I'd definitely return and enjoy the interior next time.

If your in a group, it makes no sense. Also got a parking ticket so watch out. Auto service charge at a place with no actual table service also feels off..

The atmosphere is absolutely charming, making it perfect for a cute date night, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a relaxing evening outdoors. One of my favorite things about this place is the outdoor seating! It has such a cozy, intimate vibe with a unique ambiance that makes you want to sit back, sip your wine, and stay awhile. It's the kind of place that feels special without being overly fancy. They offer cheese and charcuterie options, and I love that you can pick out your own meats, cheeses, and bread to create your own little spread to pair with your wine. It makes the experience feel more personal, and everything pairs perfectly with a good glass of wine. They also have a great selection of wines to explore!

I'm happy for the owners that it's always so busy, because clearly they're doing something right, but that's also the one thing that sometimes deters me from going. I miss the old days when it felt a little more quaint and you could actually find a spot to sit down and hang out. I love how relaxed and unfussy the whole experience is. You grab your cheeses and hams, they put together a nice little board for you, and you just settle in and enjoy. I still haven't tried the steak, but every time I see and smell it cooking, it looks amazing. And you really can't beat the live musical acts they bring in. Some of the best musicians in Miami come through here, and I love that about it. Lagniappe is just one of those places that feels unpretentious and home-like, the kind of place you always want to come back to.

We ordered the Foie Gras Torchon and it was so nicely plated and delicious. The jams served as accompaniments were fantastic as well. The restaurant also served us rolls and we sat at a beautiful spot in the outside garden. It was a gorgeous day, and the food runners were also very polite and had great manners when it came to dropping and picking up plates. The cocktails were well connotated and garnished for the Gods. The best was the La Vie en Rose which actually featured flower bulbs on top. The restroom as well had the most flattering wallpaper and was immaculate.
