    Outside skirt steak - overpriced, mediocre

    The chopped wedge was good and the Dubai blizzard was great but the outside skirt steak at $98 was overpriced and just ok. Should have been more like $60. All their streaks are overpriced. $130 for the filet when in NYC at maybe the best steakhouse in Manhattan it's $97 so this is silly. Was also very cold inside. Nice and fast service. Would go back and just get dessert but that's it.

    The Joyce to-go menu "The Window"

    Not sure why Yelp isn't blowing The Joyce up? Google reviews are lively but only one unhappy review before this? Shameful. We weren't super hungry but wanted a bite for dinner that was close to the hotel and The Window at The Joyce fit the bill for a nice outdoor dinner. Gabriella was a lovely hostess who sat us. I asked about their IG story of an insanely delicious looking sundae and graciously inquired about the inside menus for us. Leonardo was a wonderful server and was very attentive. I wish we were hungrier so we could explore more of the menu but I will say the Cheeseburger, Brussels Sprouts and Midwest Sundae did NOT disappoint. If you're looking to dress up and dine inside or have a more casual al fresco meal, check out The Joyce!

    Superb experience all around. Food, service, ambiance. Three of us - two locals and one visitor - made our first visit on a Friday night, and everyone left saying it was one of the best meals and experiences we've had in Miami in a while. We were seated at the curve of the bar, which worked perfectly for the three of us, and helped facilitate some great interaction with the staff throughout the night. We were hungry, and our order ran the gamut: Himachi, Avocado Salad, Brick Chicken, Grilled Fish, and A5 Wagyu Picanah. Everything was excellent. I'll also note that the A5 Picahah was the real thing - melt-in-your-mouth and explosive in flavor (I only mention this since the terms "A5" and "Wagyu" are misused so many times these days). Additionally, the cocktails were perfect, from a couple of their signature drinks to an absolutely perfect Manhattan that I had to order twice. A couple of bonuses: My companions were curious about the burger, which is somewhat off-menu and based on the burger sold at the Espanola Way street window. The GM brought us one out on the house, and it was terrific. And for dessert, the ice cream sundae was called out as very good, but an off-menu version laced with their homemade Dubai-style pistachio chocolate bars was exceptional.

    Joyce was such a great find. The food and drinks were amazing and honestly the old fashioned and steak completely stole the show. I wasn't expecting the burger to be that good but it was absolutely delicious. I went with my boyfriend and we both loved the cozy vibe the darker lighting gives the place. Perfect for a date night and I'd definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a nice dinner out

    The very expensive French Dip sandwich

    We really wanted to like The Joyce. There were some good things, but the evening got off on the wrong foot when we were offered only seats the bar despite a table reservation, being told that the empty tables were for a larger party. That were never seated. We would never had reserved a bar seat. BUT the bartender was gracious and attentive and bought our first round. We ordered the scampi appetizer and it was good. We were talking with the bartender about the menu and how I never cared for smash burgers as they always came overcooked for my liking, so I ordered the Aussie filet (good) and my wife ordered the $100 rib eye French Dip. During appetizer service the bartender said he heard us talking about the burger so he sent one over for us. It WAS good, but at the end of the evening the burger, supposedly on the house, was on the bill! My steak was just OK (for $98) and the French Dip was downright horrible. Burnt. Dry. And a HUNDRED DOLLARS. I emailed the restaurant about the burger on the bill and they promised to reverse that charge, but almost three months later and many emails, nothing. We won't return. Ever.

    Fresh-Baked Cookie Ice Cream Sundae

    This review is about the actual restaurant The Joyce and not about the kichi rice. We went in a four person group to the Kichi Kichi Rice event and the actual staff of the restaurant and the team were amazing. Our waitress deserved her tip she was a queen. There were several seatings for the event, so they were being quick and efficient with the food. I wonder how it would compare to a regular day but the food we received minus the rice dish really was not worth the $250 reservation and the additional cost incurred. The 20% is standard in Miami so that with the cocktails which were on the smaller side, the bill came out to $390 per person. I just don't think the portions and the food we received equated to that value. The cucumber salad lacked presentation compared to the establishment we were in. They also served us chicken wings which for fine dining and a $250 prefixed menu felt like a cheap cut. The crudo was good but nothing you couldn't get anywhere else in Miami and the steak was cooked nicely but every plate was shared between us. For the price tag the steak could have been per person. The crab leg was also a shock that it could not be one per person for the price tag. It may have good but we left a little disappointed when other places in downtown for $390 per person we could have come out feasting like kings.

    This place is going to be fully booked forever in a few weeks so go before it pops off. I almost didn't want to write this review selfishly so it stayed under the radar for longer but I have to because it was so good. From the moment we got there the experience was perfect. Hostess from the jump knew our party name which is an extra check mark for me. Justine was our waiter and she was iconic. Perfect waiteress. So kind. Timed every dish amazingly. Truly the best you could ask for. We ordered the cobb salad + ceaser shnitzel + latkes to start. all amazing. The perfect version of both salads. Then we had the burgers + fries. Again amazing. I loved how the burger was thin and maybe 2 patty's/smash burger style but also not?? Fantastic. We dined there on a Sunday and on Sunday's they offer Chinese food too. Literally how could the meal get any more perfect but somehow it did. For dessert we had dubai chocolate sundae + strawberry shortcake sundae and to no surprise both were amazing again. If youve been to NYC before it has a 4 charles feel but with no jazz + slightly bigger. Loved and will def be back. Probs best burger in Miami.

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.

It felt like a lot of small things that added up enough to leave us all feeling meh about it. We made a reservation and were right on time. We were told our table wasn't ready so we waited outside due to the entrance being extremely tight. It was a super chilly and windy night so that wasn't great. I went in to ask after almost 15 minutes and they immediately walked us to an open table, which felt weird to not have called us back in despite the table sitting vacant. The ordering process was fine and the waitress was informative and chatty enough that we commented about it when she left after taking our order. Things then kind of randomly took a turn. They served our food with a few dishes coming out super quickly. One more came out and not long after, all plates were cleared, even though one - the tuna tartare, wasn't done. We all were so taken aback and slightly distracted that we didn't really react and then kind of all asked "was there not a ton still left on that plate?" So we assumed whatever was coming out was coming soon and we were in great spirits and celebrating "NYEE" so we let it go. For the rest of the night, we struggled to flag down a waiter, and just overall felt like we had done something wrong. It was super strange and took away from the night. It took over 20 minutes before our last entree came out. I understand veal can take long to prepare, but they could have notified us or spaced it appropriately. The pasta it came with felt a bit like an airplane pasta - felt very thoughtlessly prepared. Another note on something that stood out- plates are out on table and were never swapped out when we were brought our food. Even if there is turnover quick enough that it doesn't sit for long, I would rather not have my plate out in the open to then eat off of. My thinking is that it must have been an off night because I haven't heard anything bad about Semilla. However, it was a bummer enough that it has me second guessing if I want to come back.

I've tried a lot of wines here, and I'm always amazed at finding something new to me that I enjoy. If you haven't been, it's the perfect place for a date, a girls night, or a day for yourself.

There is plenty of space for people to sit whether you're on a date or with a small group, but seating is first come first serve, so if you're coming with a group it's better to get there earlier in the evening so you have a space comfortable enough for the size of your group. There is also indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. There are many wines to choose from and they also have a decent menu with light bites. We opted for the Dino nuggets and caviar which were a hit, the fried olives and some meats and cheeses with some cornishons, fig jam and a sliced baguette. Overall this place has a great vibe to it and I heard they host events every so often. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a nice space to chill with some friends and enjoy a nice spot in Miami.
