    The vibes was definitely vibing at Swan. We went as a group for a bachelorette weekend and they made our bride feel special, so we loved that! The atmosphere was well kept and decorated, and the inside of the restaurant smelled very nice. We sat outside but I went inside on the way to the bathroom. We ate from the fall menu and I had the Parker house rolls (fresh, warm, soft, buttery and amazing) and the avocado crab Louie salad. The salad was very good but the black truffle fries were even better!

    My experience at Swan was very lovely. The waiter took the time out to go over some of the menu items and recommended the Lumache pasta which was delicious. The brunch options for Miami Spice were great and all dishes were a perfect portion. The Lychee sangria was very refreshing and I enjoyed the drink. The service was quick when our orders was being taken and the food came out in a reasonable time. The ambiance is very picture worthy and a perfect place to celebrate a milestone or occasion. We had reservations so we were seated right away and you are able to have a conversation.

    Was visiting Miami and wanted to check this place out. It was pretty empty for a Saturday night but still a nice vibe. I like that they place good music. The food was good, but not anything special for the price point. I think you go more for the aesthetics and vibe. My espresso martini was absolutely delicious! Service was pretty decent.

    From the moment we got there it wasn't a good experience. Our reservation was for 10pm and we got sat at 10:45pm. Then when we sat took about 20 mins for the server to come to us for drinks. We ordered our drinks and that took 40 mins to come. Once it came I ordered another round and NEVER got it, a whole hour went by and I said never mind I don't want it anymore. We had finished our food already. The food was good but it's not worth the experience I had. The environment was good. Music was good there was a DJ and a show outside. I wasn't mad at that at all. I would only go for the club part. Not for dinner ever again.

    Cute restaurant & good vibes. I went for a late brunch and had a nice variety of food which were all pretty tasty. Their cocktails are also pretty good.

    CRAB CAKE BENEDICT
    Aneesha R.

    I came to Swan for brunch on my birthday this year and was impressed with how accommodating the restaurant was - we were able to make a very large reservation with no problems, service was excellent, and they even gave me a little shot of one of their signature cocktails with a sparkler for my birthday! We felt well attended-to the entire time. I was not super impressed with the food quality nor value, however. I chose the coconut crab cake benedict, and while yummy, the brunch portion sizes weren't satisfactory. I would maybe give this place another try!

    Veal Parmigiana

    Food and drinks were incredible. The veal parmigiana was seasoning and perfect. Worth sharing because it's such a large portion. Service was excellent and the vibe was cute inside and very eclectic outside. Loved the music while just waiting at the bar to be seated.

    Lovely time at Swan! I personally love brunch and Swan did not disappoint. We had a large group of 8 guests and it seemed as though our server was new but he definitely tried his best and was very attentive. Swan is a staple restaurant while visiting the area. Drinks: I tried a couple of drinks from the table but didn't live any. I ended up with a mimosa with pineapple juices. Food: Everything was spectacular. Blackened Grouper sandwich - I did not try this but it got rave reviews at the table. Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Really nicely seasoned and the chicken was impeccably cooked. The chicken was a breast which can sometimes seem dry but this chicken was dry at all. Crab Benedict - No complaints here. Strawberry Pancake - The package was fluffy and delicious. My only reservation would be the amount of syrup on the pancake. Others who ate it had no complaints Cinnamon Roll Waffle - A little sweet but I think that was to be expected. Either way, it was yummy. Egg White Omelette - They lost me at goat cheese because I am not a fan but cheese aside, this was a really great omelette. I will absolutely return.

    In Miami for a few days and decided to check out Swan. We weren't disappointed. It's in the design district so it's amongst other chic restaurants and shops. We had reservations and were quickly sat. I was surprised that it was pretty scarce but I hear Mondays are the popular night- with the fire dancers and DJ. Service was attentive. Everyone enjoyed their meals. It's trendy and chic. Very eye catching in the patio. Would love to come back again when I'm in Miami.

    LUMACHE Vodka Pasta with added chicken
    Hannah R.

    Ambiance was beautiful outside. Inside was less impressive. The music was extremely loud while the dj was playing. It was relieving when she finished. Our server was decent. Food came out in a decent amount of time. However, our side of broccolini came out 20 minutes after our entrees which defeats the purpose. The frito misto was perfect, exactly what you expect with a yummy aioli. My watermelon smash was very well balanced and refreshing. However, my girlfriend's passionfruit lemonade was tart and needed an added agave syrup. My vodka pasta was quite salty. The added chicken was cooked very well. My girlfriend's salmon was also salty/tart. The broccolini was perfect. We ordered the cobbler for desert and received two scoops of vanilla ice cream to accompany it and that was good, what you expect from a cobbler. Overall an ok experience, great photo op, not worth the $220 we spent.

    BLACK TRUFFLE FRIES
    Julio G.

    In my honest opinion the place is overall very decent but I think definitely a pricey spot for tourists looking to continue their design district fun. First off, the service was absolutely great! From the hostess to our server we were treated great the whole time and watched after our every need. And the ambiance was awesome, felt like being nestled away in a little green cove. I was very impressed by our server bringing our table the truffle fries complimentary after we had ordered them to start but never received them. As for the food, I started off with the frito misto and I'd say AVOID THIS! It was unbelievably salty! The sauce and lemon over it helped but wow way too salty. If you can get past that the texture was good. For my main I had the wild mushroom pizza and the truffle fries. To me, these were GREAT! The mushroom pizza was the perfect amount of truffley, would've liked a bit more of a crunch on the crust but overall good flavor. And honestly the truffle fries were the star of the meal! Crispy, flavorful, and tasted fresh. I would definitely recommend those again.

    Crispy Artichokes
    Renata G.

    Came for a late lunch during the week and it was eerie empty. We sat at the bar for quick service and ordered a bunch of plates to share. The only thing I liked was the crispy artichokes. They had the most disgusting pizza I've ever had, especially the pistachio one. I'd rather get dollar slice pizza than Swan's any day. I guess their thing is the parties upstairs? Idk but I would definitely not show up for the food. I swiped around the photos on their business page and realized this place is like Cheesecake Factory that's pretending to be high end. Smoke & mirrors Miami vibe.

    We came here this past weekend for Miami Spice Menu and I must admit, they are very generous with their 3 course meal and portion! We loved both the outside and inside of the restaurant! We started off with their hamachi and had their Bronzino as an entree! The food is really good! Don't forget to order the tiger prawn shrimp! Amazing service and great drinks! Don't forget to order their espresso martinis!

We started with the bone marrow appetizer, and it was truly outstanding -- incredibly balanced, rich without being overwhelming, and so good we couldn't stop talking about it. We ordered the steak and eggs. The crunchy brioche, earthy mushroom purée, and beautifully sliced steak came together perfectly, and the saltiness of the caviar tied everything together in a really thoughtful way. The picanha was another standout! incredibly tender and full of flavor. We paired it with the broccolini and wagyu fat potatoes, both of which were absolutely delicious. To finish, we shared the ube cheesecake empanada. We were a bit hesitant at first, but it turned out to be the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. The cocktails throughout the night were also excellent. We enjoyed the restaurant so much that we brought friends back later the same week. That visit was just as impressive -- we ordered the tomahawk steak, garden salad, bone marrow (again!), steak and eggs, truffle fries, broccolini, carrots, and tried all of the desserts. Once again, everything was delicious across the board. The only area for improvement would be the service. Everyone was kind and attentive, but at times too quick to clear plates and not proactive enough with the next course. At a restaurant of this caliber, I'd expect the dessert menu to be offered immediately after plates are cleared, rather than needing to track down a server. Overall, the food is exceptional, and we'll absolutely be back.

We chose the tasting menu at the counter. The execution of the initial dishes in the tastings were well seasoned. But quickly it was clear that given the restaurant was becoming busy and the food service and the drink pairings were not in sync. Part of a tasting experience is being wowed and enjoying the progression of dishes as you would a performance. Javier and our waiter in particular made sure by the end to ensure our experience was smoothed out. One note about the tasting experience is it lacked a certain level of finesse. While the service team did explain the dishes beautifully, it would have been nice for the chef to come out and explain even one of the dishes, especially with a restaurant that has the potential to share a rich background in history about the dishes and flavors. I found that to be particularly surprising that was not the case. In all of the tastings we have participated in (NY, Paris, Miami, Barcelona, Rome, Shanghai...) the chef has always come by even if for a second and it's in those moments that you really get a sense of the passion and the experience of a tasting. After all the origin story is the thread that would have pulled the elements together. It would have elevated this from an average to a more memorable experience. Overall, the food was solid, but regrettably not memorable. There are certainly elements that can benefit from workshopping (timing, chef engagement, consistent execution of dishes) however would be remiss if I didn't shout out Javier and our waiter for their receptiveness and making a positive end to the evening.

After 15 minutes, still no server in sight. I got up to go order from the bar, behind me comes our server. He took our order and brought our drinks and that was the end of him. The Pina Colada was a bit too sweet, the rosé, perfect. After we finished our drinks I went in search for our waiter once again. He was nowhere to be found, so I asked another server if we could order a salad, she insisted on finding him for us. Out of nowhere he appeared, and I no longer had any patience. We asked to move tables, for a new server and this is where a true five star service started. We ended with a fantastic, attentive and friendly waiter. He brought us drinks in a timely manner, checked up on us often and reminded us that good service does exist, just not with our first server. Overall, the service needs some serious attention here. We are not sure we would visit again. There are many other places that have great service every time not just sometimes. Cheers!

From the moment we walked in and were handed a glass of prosecco, it was clear this would be something different. There was an intentionality to everything--the pacing, the ambiance, the way each course was introduced. It didn't feel transactional. It felt ceremonial. Each of the six courses represented a different European destination (Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Greece), and what made it extraordinary wasn't just the quality of the food--which was exceptional--but the way the environment transformed alongside it. Lighting, visuals, sound, and narration worked together in a way that made every dish feel contextual and meaningful, rather than simply plated. Every part of this immersive experience contained instruments working in harmony to amplify the meaning of each course. The courses were beautifully composed and balanced. Nothing felt excessive or forced. Each plate served a purpose in the broader narrative, and each wine or cocktail pairing elevated the dish rather than competing with it. What stood out most, though, was how present it made you feel. In a world where most dinners blur together, this one didn't. Time slowed down. You became immersed. Fully engaged. The service was impeccable--attentive, warm, and deeply knowledgeable without ever feeling rehearsed or overbearing. You felt guided, not served. Tommy (the owner/proprietor) and his staff were unquestionably five-stars. By the end, you remembered how it felt to be transported somewhere else without ever boarding a plane. It's worth every moment.

Ruka Winewood has been on my radar for a while and I recently found out they have happy hours between 6-9pm, so what a better opportunity to give it a try.

The fruit content was moderate. It was the perfect wine for an early night, to sip and hang out with friends. I pretty much enjoyed the two glasses I had. Service was not the best to be honest. During the 1 hour I was there, no one checked on me. No one asked me if I wanted more wine, water or another pizza, etc. I was hopping to have their charcuterie board paired with wine, but they had no charcuterie. I asked for the pizza options and hey only had one out of the 3 options on the menu, only the cheese pizza. The pizza is not the best looking pizza, but it tasted delicious. The cheese was sort of smokey, that was delish. I would have that pizza again. Summarizing, I'm coming back pretty soon for their red wine, at $5/glass, you can't beat that up, specially when it is such high quality. I hope they have the charcuterie next time.
