    Went here for brunch today. This place is a hidden gem! The location is beautiful. The service was great and food delicious. Had the croissant sandwich and cappuccino but everyone raved about their food as well. Will be back soon!

    Great spot in south miami! Service was great ambiance is a cool vibe and the food was very good. We were limited with ordering because of a shellfish and dairy allergy and everything fried is fried in the same fryer as the shellfish but the server made great recommendations and accommodated some of the plates so we were able to have them. The cauliflower and the baba ghanoush were both impressive so delicious. The warm mushroom salad was very good too. All of those plates were a great size. The entrees were a bit small but both very tasty highly recommend the lamb.

    Service was impeccable, the 40 oz. Picchana was well worth it, grilled on an open wood fire! I love the atmosphere in this restaurant, it's warm with greenery hanging from the ceiling, and a touch of topical flare with a flamingo behind the bar! We brought our own bottle of white wine, they didn't charge us a corking fee and brought us a wine bucket with ice. We felt like we have been friends with everyone for many years. FYI any seat is extremely comfortable and the music is low enough to hear but have great conversations we'll be back!

    Cheese pizza

    There are several reasons why I this restaurant DID NOT meet the mark. First, the parking is very limited and confusing. There is limited street parking and there is expensive valet parking. It's not very obvious, but there is self parking at the hotel although it's five dollars for the first hour and eight dollars for 1-2 hours. When you get out of the parking garage, the courtyard is actually quite lovely and spacious with lots of nice greenery and lights. The restaurant itself is also very beautifully decorated, it feels modern with lots of greenery and beautiful light fixtures. We showed up for the happy hour thinking we could also potentially order a few items off the regular dinner menu. We were there at 4:30 PM and they said that they are very strict with the menu times... dinner menu started at 5:30 PM which meant we HAD to order off the happy hour menu ONLY. Being vegetarian, I was kind of disappointed because they were two options: the brussels sprouts and the pizza. The pizza ended up being just a cheese pizza and the brussels sprouts were actually deep-fried in the same oil as the chicken so I couldn't even eat the brussels sprouts. My ONLY option was eating cheese pizza like a chil at a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party... My husband and I ended up sharing one cocktail, he got the chicken and the salmon happy hour dishes, and I had the super exciting (being sarcastic) cheese pizza. The cocktail was good and the food was decent, but the prices were definitely high and the portions were smaaaall. Not to mention during this whole experience, we were literally only people in the entire restaurant during happy hour... Overall, I was really not too thrilled with this experience. I wish they were more accommodating on several points. First of all since the happy hour menu does not have any vegetarian options or even vegan options, I would think they would be a little more accommodating on offering other items or letting me order from the dinner menu. Also, this place was really overpriced. Our whole evening of having basically a few snacks because the portions were teeny tiny cost about $60 for two people, and we were STILL HUNGRY AFTERWARDS. We ended up going home and having more food because whatever we ate did not fill us up. I wouldn't go back here. I hope they improve their offerings to vegetarian and vegan people, increase their food portions, become more accommodating, like offering dinner during happy hour.

    I can't believe I had not written a review. Been here so many times since it opened. The Collab serves innovative and absolutely delicious food. Chef Nung creates magic for your palate. The service is always attentive. The decor is beautiful and welcoming, good for a meal with family and friends or simply to enjoy a bite at the bar.

    A DEFINITE MUST!! Food was EXCELLENT! Service was AMAZING! Ambiance was PERFECT! Two friends meeting for a glass of wine and a bite to eat led us to this restaurant... The bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon (recommended by our server) paired excellent with the Crispy Cauliflower, Blue Crab Croquettes and the Chicken Sausage and Cilatro Pizza, followed up by the Matcha Pavlova... DELICIOUS ON SO MAMY LEVELS! Approximately, $75/each before tip... DEFINITELY WORTH THE 5

    gnocchi with mushrooms

    I went to the Collab with a friend for their fantastic Miami Spice menu. It is located inside the Thesis Hotel, which has paid parking. It's a bit hidden because the Mamay restaurant is easily visible, but the front desk directed us to the other side of the hotel where the Collab is located. First off, there are some great vegetarian choices! I had the roasted beets, which were delicious, as an appetizer. Then, they were able to do the mushroom gnocchi dish vegetarian, and it was great and filling. The matcha dessert was so delicious with the yuzu ice cream! I don't usually go for the pavlova, but I would return just to have theirs again! The waiter told us the concept is Mediterranean and Asian fusion, and their chef is from France. The service was friendly and helpful. I appreciated that our waiter was actually vegetarian himself! Some places are not as accommodating to vegetarians when it comes to the Miami Spice menu, but I was very appreciative they were able to leave out the ham from the gnocchi, so I could enjoy it too. The ambiance was fun and the decor was trendy and great to look around. I thought the prices were reasonable considering the vibe of the restaurant and that it's attached to a nice hotel. I will definitely be coming back to try more of the veggie tapas dishes and some of the pizzas as well!

    Short Ribs
    Jeannette V.

    Stopped by to try and went for their Miami Spice dinner. First I had an Island Girl that was fire. Absolutely delicious. For the appetizer I had the grilled octopus and it's got to be some of the best I've ever had. Totally impressed. For my main I chose the short ribs that were incredible! A huge portion as well. I could not finish it. Unfortunately I had to leave so I too my dessert to go and it was yummy later that night. The service is beyond amazing. Very involved without being intrusive. Lovely location with on site paid parking. The ambience was lovely and the decor very chic. I'm looking forward to becoming a regular. Well done!

    had a lovely time! me and my boyfriend both tried the preselected 3 course meal for $65 and it was delicious! drinks were good, island girl was my favorite and they also gave us some rose which was nice (: we got the gem salad and octopus for starters, both very tasty and great flavors! candied walnuts on the salad were so yum. got the pichana and salmon for mains, the salmon dish was amazing! the desserts were sooo so good! the tiramisu was light and refreshing and not as sweet, the sticky toffee was delicious with the ice cream and bourbon caramel was wow! thank you for the culinary experience

    Very nice venue, great food, good times. Went for a date night late on a Friday night and decided to go for the Spice Menu.

    Sticky Toffee Pudding - She Pretty
    Olga P.

    The Collab is in the old Orno space at the Thesis Hotel. The dining room is lovely and comfortable and big. The service was great and everyone was cool and young and interesting. The servers uniforms were all wrong, distracting really but that and only that is the negative because everything at the collab was positive and fantastic. We went for dinner during happy hour and had some delicious discounted appetizers. the cocktails were also discounted and so so good!!! We had negronis and martinis and old fashioned and their shelf liquors were all great and not the super cheap variety. Their regular cocktail menu looked interesting and creative but we stuck to the classics. For our meal we started with the Blue Crab Croquettes, Beef Carpaccio, and Crispy Korean Chicken. The chicken was juicy and had the right amount of sauce where it remained crispy but tasty. The blue crab croquettes had a little aji amarillo and they were crabby and creamy and 3 were not enough so we ordered more. The carpaccio came with a frisee salad and topped with a truffle aioli. Light and bright and perfectly sliced, the Carpaccio was a tasty snack. We had the Branzino - super fresh, with pickled fennel that added a nice texture and salt to the dish. The Airline Chicken was well seasoned and very juicy. It came with the tastiest sunchoke puree......never thought I would like sunchokes but here we are. Our friends shared the Tenderloin Truffle. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, the meat was tender and juicy and had shaved truffles all around and delicious and crispy onions on top. We ended the meal with the stickiest, tastiest, yummy and naughty Sticky Toffee Pudding - so crazy delicious. As I mentioned, everything about The Collab is a positive. Service, Ambiance, and top notch food. It is a great experience!!! Now please, have your servers wear black, buy them some cool aprons and get them out of those uncomfortable looking uniforms. Aside from that A+++++

The Biltmore Bar has an elegant old Hollywood ambiance decorated with immaculate gold and brass decorative light fixtures, decor pieces, furniture and finishes that are unique to the one of a kind luxury that encapsulates the Biltmore. The service was exactly what you'd expect the Biltmore to be, exceptional! The bartender prepared exceptional Cocktails, both stiff and beautiful to sip on.

They had live music that was wonderful. It just added to the ambiance. Our server came over pretty quickly and we ordered drinks. They have a huge drink selection and I think they are well priced despite it being The Biltmore. I got the Heartbreaker martini for $18 and it was so delicious! It was light and fruity, just what I was looking for. My husband got an espresso martini that was also delish. Our server left us to hang out but periodically checked on us. I just loved everything about this place. If you're looking for a refined, chill environment to enjoy a drink, definitely come here.

The service was efficient and friendly, Ken took great care of us and made sure everything flowed smoothly. The menu has a great variety and everything is beautifully presented. I started with the sweet-sauce chicken wings, perfectly crispy and full of flavor, followed by a round of tacos, some with beef, others with chicken, fresh and well balanced. I also had the chance to shake things up with an espresso martini or known as RumWake. It had all those rich coffee aromas and an interesting twist from a banana nut texture. It was good, but I still prefer the classic version. Their mojito, which I usually don't enjoy, totally surprised me, bright mint notes toned down the sweetness just right. At Mamey, they call it the "Mint Condition," and it's definitely worth a conditional try. The one drink I liked the least was the Serata, essentially an Aperol spritz with Asian gin blended with Prosecco. It felt watered down and the flavors just didn't come together for me. Overall, Mamey delivers a unique "island-minded" experience that blends flavors from the Caribbean, Asia, and Latin America. Between the beautiful setting, creative menu, great cocktails (with a couple of misses), and attentive service, it's a spot I'd come back to for both casual nights and special occasions.

We've come here a few times in recent weeks and the place is running nearly the same as it always has for at least a few decades, through changes in drag hosts, management and even changes to this venue's name over those years. We tend to come just before showtime so there's normally always a cover (worth it for the entertainment patrons get to see), friendly bartenders and a drag show featuring talented performers, with at least one normally interacting with patrons and doing comedy during a break in the performances, before opening up the floor for dancing once the show is complete. Azucar isn't located near much of anything else when it comes to nightlife, it's a bit divey - definitely nothing fancy or glamorous, and it's probably not worth the drive from the beach just to check it out, as at least one other reviewer mentioned. Also, all shows and entertainment, aside from lyrics to a few songs here and there are in Spanish with no English translation, so if you don't speak Spanish or have someone who can interpret at least some of the funniest bits that get the most laughs, you may not fully understand what's happening or may feel a bit left out. That said, if you're just looking for a solid drag show or appreciate Latin nightlife, this is definitely an option.
