We were staying at a nearby Airbnb and decided last minute to try this restaurant. We came with our…read morebaby, who was understandably very hungry, so I began giving her some crackers I had with me. Shortly after, the manager or owner approached us and said I could not feed her those crackers because they were not kosher. I asked if there was something suitable we could order for her, but options were limited, so we ordered fries, which thankfully came out quickly. We initially wanted to order a smaller steak along with several appetizers, as we enjoy trying a variety of dishes. However, after a lot of back and forth, the server strongly pushed us toward their recommendation instead. We eventually went with it, but the food was mediocre and the sides were very basic. We felt pressured into ordering something we didn't really want. Later, the steak arrived medium rare instead of the medium well we requested, which meant we couldn't give much of it to our baby. Wanting to be respectful, I asked the manager if I could feed her a Serenity-branded baby food pouch. After examining it for a while, he said no -- again because it was not kosher -- with no explanation or alternative offered. Overall, the experience felt rigid and unwelcoming, especially for a family with a baby. The food did not justify the price, and we left feeling that we overpaid for a disappointing and uncomfortable experience.

Just when I thought I had already explored all the amazing food spots in Miami, I found myself in…read moreSurfside at modern Israeli cuisine Neya and wow, this place is in a completely different universe. This is nothing like Motek or Abbale, not even close. From the very first bite, my taste buds (and my expectations) were blown away. We came as a girls' night out, sharing plates and ordering "just one more dish"... and then another. The Truffle Wild Mushrooms Polenta was incredibly rich and silky, deeply earthy without feeling heavy. The Pappardelle Tomato was perfectly cooked, vibrant, and comforting in the best way. And the Cabbage "cacio e peppe"? Unexpected, bold, and absolutely addictive. The raw fish dishes were also a highlight, beautifully sliced, ultra-fresh, and paired with bright citrus, herbs, and crunch that elevated the fish without overpowering it. The grilled fish was crisp on the outside, tender inside, and plated with a smooth, flavorful puree that tied everything together effortlessly. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is a whole vibe. As the night goes on, the lights dim, the music comes on, and it transforms into the perfect setting for a stylish dinner that slowly turns into a fun night out with friends. Chic, warm, and energetic without feeling forced. I left wishing I had more room to try the entire menu, but happily signed up for their VIP rewards program (available to everyone), which basically guarantees my return. Next time, it's another girls' night at Neya, and we're coming hungry. If you love Mediterranean inspired cuisine done with precision, creativity, and soul, Neya is a must.

There was warm pita bread and bread rolls. The waiters worked hard to make sure that we had everything we requested. After the huge salad course we had two types of fish: Gefilte, and salmon over tasty orzo. Then we had matzoh ball soup served piping hot (just the way I like it). For the entrée I had requested prime rib. It was a huge portion cooked to perfection exactly the way I requested with a very delicious savory sauce, creamy mashed potatoes and tasty green beans. I also tasted the chicken, which was really moist and delicious. My sister-in-law's vegetarian and had requested a vegetarian dish. They brought her a huge platter with beautifully grilled cauliflower steak and other tasty bites. We then had dessert which was a warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and fresh tropical fruit salad. We also got to meet the Chef, Jake. We talked about the theme of the restaurant (Kosher Steakhouse) and his various concepts and projects. There is a variety of different steaks. He puts a lot of care into all the sauces and flavors. He works very hard and you can tell. Last night was a wonderful experience and I look forward to coming back and trying more of their delicious dishes

I like kosher food and I like bbq....the guy whose restaurant this is a bbq maestro and the flavors…read morejust melt in your mouth here. The guy who is the check came over to our table to schmooze( make light conversation- yiddish phrase) to tell me that he thinks I was at his father's wedding in brooklyn in the early 80s...which is entirely possible. Shmooze= banter I went with my former neighbor in chicago and his 3 friends. This is a very popular place as they want you to get a online reservation and not calling on the phone. Although they say it closes at 9pm they wont rush you out at that time.i came late so I was worried about it. I got there at 8:30 , reservation for 8, my friends got there at 8:15....I was glad I let them order instead of me as they ordered the 2 orders of brisket and burned ends and some assorted other meats. Speaking of bbq I would say if you Are a semi bbq aficionado like myself and are in Miami or even Broward come visit this place because it smells just as good as the famous Weber grill in Chicago and that is not an easy feat if you are a kosher bbq chef. . The order came and it just melts in you mouth and if you are cutting it with a fork and knife so you dont feel like a scene from the show "vikings" then it will be very easy to cut.. It's very high class but not pretentious. Good people watching as well. Some guys are taking their wives out and some guys are very religious and are using this as the meal to deal the deal so they can pop the question to the woman they met last week or the week before. Such is dating in the chasidic realm. I wont knock it if I have not tried it :) My sodium level was enhanced and I'm drinking water as we speak for it to be fully restored. Not that it's a bad thing, right. The one thing I would suggest is that they invest in printing up some laminated menus as it is on one page on both sides. It would be much classier than the piece of paper that is handed to me like I might be an 8th grade customer and all i need is a number 2 pencil.

Positives - We were seated immediately which was good because at other places there were long waits. Also, the sweet sauce that went with the brisket was delicious.

I would like to try this place again when it is not as busy.
