That said, the new location has a lot of potential, and with the renovations still underway, I think it will only get better. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

They are must try. Esther, our server, made the recommendation and definitely steered us in the right direction. Both meats were cooked to perfection exactly how we asked for them. Each plate came with a different style of salad, and both were really good and complemented the meals well. To finish off dinner, we were offered complimentary Turkish tea, which was a nice touch and a great way to wind down after the meal. We sat outside and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Amazing food, great service, and a memorable dinner overall. Definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Still savoring the memories from Kalamata Mediterranean Cuisine, a spot that delivers a warm,…read moreauthentic Eastern Mediterranean/Turkish experience right by South Pointe. Its location makes it ideal for a relaxed dinner after a sunset walk, and the ambiance leans into that cozy, family-style hospitality the region is known for. We kicked things off with a generous mezze spread, a highlight here and consistently praised in reviews. It included creamy hummus, eggplant-based dips like baba ghanoush, beetroot, yogurt spreads, and a pepper-eggplant mix, all paired with warm, fresh pita that kept coming out just right. Sipping Turkish tea in the Miami heat somehow worked perfectly, it was refreshing in its own way. For the main, I ordered the Iskender kebab, a comforting, flavorful dish of gyro-style meat over pita, finished with a light tomato sauce. We also tried Efes beer, a crisp Turkish pilsner that balanced the meal nicely. Despite us being a group of 10, Barış, our waiter, handled everything with impressive attention to detail, something many diners mention about the service here: attentive, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. To top it off, dessert was on the house--a creamy almond and pistachio pudding that paired beautifully with a strong Turkish coffee. A thoughtful gesture that really sealed the experience. Between the vibrant flavors, the inviting atmosphere, and the consistently praised service, Kalamata delivers a family-friendly, authentic Mediterranean night out that feels both elevated and relaxed. Definitely a place worth returning to. Afiyet olsun, bir daha görüşmek üzere!

For years, I had always passed-up the Poseidon on Washington Av. in South Beach,…read morethinking it was too much of an upscale restaurant for my social bracket. But, when I saw they were advertising a Lamb Gyro for $12 (Tuesdays), I took the leap. Seems it wasn't that far to jump. Although there were table cloths, cloth napkins and silverware, with room for a true dining experience, the fan sitting atop the bar, (blowing-off more air than necessary), and the plastic plants on the walls/ceilings threw-off any pretense I had of the place. When I requested the Lamb Gyro, the server pointed to an entree on the menu for me to approve. I made sure there wasn't another (re: pricier) offer. There was... it was the one he suggested. The gyro itself consisted of a bland (Tzatziki?) sauce that struggled to find my taste buds. Lamb (typically) has a gamey/slightly sweet flavor; these cuts seemed to be found from behind their refrigerator, (not from inside). They certainly weren't cut fresh from a spit, as they were old and nearly tasteless. The included slices of onion and peppers, delegated to the pita bottom, (instead of intermingling) barely helped. The French fries (included in the price) were the most flavorful part of the meal; although, they were an insult, rather than accompaniment to the experience. And, was that Latin (instead of traditional Greek) music coming from the speakers? Along with a 20% "Administrative" fee, I won't be tempted to venture in again.

For the main event, the Dorade Royale and wow wow wow. Perfectly cooked and easy to flake with the Santorini capers which were a nice delicate touch as well as the olive oil and lemon. I found a few bones but not as much as I expected. It was absolute perfection. As for dessert, simple, not overly sweet or presented ostentatiously...in simple terms, a spongy moist orange cake that was to die for. I see why it was recommended by waitstaff. Speaking of waitstaff, the service was remarkable from the hostess all the way to the table of you catch my drift. Washed it all down with a medium dry Chardonnay and this one is one to remember.

Indoor seating was closed and they were only seating people outside at the moment. If you don't like dinning outdoors, avoid this place in the mid afternoons. Staff was friendly but asked us to give them a good Google review and brought out a QR code to scan. I don't really do Google reviews and said I'm only on Yelp. They said that Yelp isn't owned by them and reviews may not be accurate but they seem to be doing well on Yelp. Felt a little off putting. Food was mediocre and quite pricey, nothing to write home about. Komma Pikilla- was a platter of different dips. My least favorite was Lady Pink, very floral. Pita bread was average. Turkish Adana Kebab- lamb and beef grounded together. Came with roasted tomatoes, shishoto pepper and red onions; lined with a thin pita. Paired with Crete Feta Dip (also came in the Komma Pikilla).

We went to Santorini for our honeymoon and my husband and I were celebrating our 16th anniversary. Reservations are hard to get here, especially on the weekend. Luckily I have Gold Status with OpenTable through work and was able to get on the Priority Notify list where I would be the first to know when tables open up on my desired date/time. And that's how we snagged this reservation on OpenTable on a busy Saturday on our actual anniversary. Woot woot!!! First off, this spot is ALL THE FEELS!!! So beautiful and absolutely charming. Just like Santorini. When we arrived, we checked in and only waited for maybe 10 minutes until they sat us. Meanwhile, there were many people waiting. When our table was ready, the hostess seated us to this cute little two top towards the back area, very intimate. For our anniversary, they gave us complimentary champagne. Very cool. Matias was our server and he was wonderful. Informative, attentive and friendly. They had small menu with specials for the day along with their regular menu. Below is everything we ordered: * Karpouzi Fresco $21 * Baked Feta $18 * Grilled Grouper with Orzo $42 * Grilled Lamb Chops $61 Got the Karpouzi Fresco with watermelon, mint, prosecco. The cocktail was perfect for the ambiance and so refreshing. Baked Feta was ridonkulously good with heirloom tomatoes with greek oregano and sumac. So fresh with lots of flavor and served with warm bread right out of the oven. Dinner was at another level and incredibly generous portions but also ELITE!!! Grilled Grouper with orzo was nice and the small shrimp was a nice surprise, funny enough when this dish came out, the grouper was hidden under the orzo and we thought they brought out the wrong dish. That was odd. Grilled Lamb Chops were cooked on point and so juicy with good flavor. Everything was just delicious! We opted not to have desserts here as we wanted to walk around Miami and find another spot for dessert. All in all, we had a lovely anniversary dinner and this place was perfect. So happy we finally got to come here. It's just as charming as the photos show. If you want a small piece of Greece, come here. I don't think you'll be disappointed. It has all the Santorini vibes!

The Ali Nazik was phenomenal. We were given a side of bread, which paired really well with the dish. The lamb was packed with flavor, and the smoked eggplant yogurt was fire. The two complemented each other perfectly. The Eggplant Carpaccio was good as well. I will say, though, that if you aren't a fan of dishes with a heavy vinegar flavor, this may not be for you. I'd also be curious to see how this dish would taste served warm. For our entree, we ordered the Beef Souvlaki, which came with six skewers of filet mignon. The beef was perfectly cooked and very tender, so no complaints there. However, the rest of the dish didn't really stand out to me. The fries were decent, but nothing crazy. As a first-time visitor, I also feel like this probably wasn't the best dish to order if you want to get a full sense of what the restaurant has to offer. One of my biggest disappointments was that the restaurant primarily had outdoor seating. Maybe it was just the night we went, but it was extremely hot and humid, and the fans in our area weren't cutting it. It was also very dark, making it difficult to see the menus and even our food. I think better lighting, especially toward the front of the restaurant, would make a big difference. The food came out very quickly, which we appreciated. I do wish our server had been a little more helpful, though. We wanted to learn more about the menu and were hoping for some guidance and recommendations, but he didn't really guide us through the menu the way I had hoped. Overall, Mandolin was a solid experience, and the Ali Nazik in particular was a standout. I'd be interested in coming back and trying some of their other dishes to get a better feel for what the restaurant does best.
