    Dark, moody speakeasy in South Beach with a really fun menu of classic and contemporary cocktails. We loved all three drinks we ordered. One thing to note: it's very loud (hard to talk) which kind of takes away from the speakeasy feel. That said, the world-famous espresso martini absolutely lives up to the hype and is a must-try. The bourbon drinks were also a delight! Friendly staff!

    Wasn't my first time going to Scape Goat and won't be my last. We came for a master class on daiquiris and we learned so much! Beyond that, the atmosphere was amazing and the drinks were beyond. Can't wait to come back and get the full experience.

    A really great spot to get a drink or three if you're in the area. Actually, even if you're not in the area, you should go by. We stopped by here for a pre-dinner drink, and I was able to try a couple happy hour drinks since their happy houris is offered daily from 5-8 PM. And again from 1-3 AM. That tells you that not only is it a good spot for the earlier evening, but it will be there for you for that late evening. They have a handful of classic cocktails on their happy hour menu for $10 each. I tried a daiquiri and honestly think it may be one of the best ones that I've had. This is coming from someone who actually learned how to make a classic daiquiri during the pandemic. If I can't make as good as this one myself, I might as well get it here. The daiquiri was fresh and flavorful without being overly sweetened. I was also able to get an old-fashioned before we had to leave. It is carefully and solidly made, despite the use of a well bourbon. The use of a clear ice cube always commands my respect. The whole place is quite small, with four or five hightop tables surrounding the bar. We ducked in after dinner and found it was pretty packed, mainly because it doesn't take a lot of people to get it full. You will get a mix of visitors from out of town and some locals, but the local feel is definitely there. The finished wood decor and soft lighting, along with an ever-changing playlist of different genres (maybe chill beats earlier, hip hop later in the night) make for a comfortable place to get a drink, no matter what kind of night you want to have. Kenny the bar manager is well-versed in his cocktails and was pleasant to chat with as he served up our drinks. If you go by, and I hope you do, say hi to him for me!

    Small cozy bar with welcoming vibe. Loved my French 75 for Happy Hour! The list of Happy Hour Cocktails is small but they are made fresh with lots of love.

    Scape Goat is an awesome little cocktail bar found down in the South Pointe area. And when I say little I mean tiny but in a great way. We stopped in after a great meal at Joe's Stone Crab for a few drinks at night. Scape Goat is small enough they can handle everything with just two people, and they did a great job. Kenny was a fantastic bartender and the bar-back was great as well. Not as much of a clubby vibe as a few places we stopped in around Miami Beach, more of a classy/relaxed vibe. We had the Black Magic and Hemingway Daiquiri's first and they were good, but next we had the French Martini and Sazerac that were absolutely perfect. I think we could have watched Kenny make drinks all night. Great spot, convenient to a few top tier restaurants such as Joe's and Carbone. Definitely worth a stop at The Scape Goat.

    My group and I wanted to check out Story but decided not to when we heard how much cover was for an artist no one was that into. We decided to go get a nightcap at Scape Goat. It's a cute bar with lively music and it was also HH when we arrived around 1AM. We all ordered the French Martini for $10/each. Wow, the drink was decent with fruity flavors coming from the pineapple and raspberry. There was also enough alcohol in there for a good buzz! I highly recommend Scape Goat to pregame. It was fun and I wish we were going somewhere after!

    Cattycorner to Carbone, this cozy cocktail bar was recommended by our captain for a perfect after dinner nightcap. The spot is dimly lit and the soundtrack is varied, loud and perfect to keep the party going. They have seating at the main bar, a couple of couches as well as hightops which is where we sat to celebrate a birthday. The menu has "fancy shots", classics as well as sweeter dessert drinks. We started with the Snaquiri (essentially a mini mojito) for me and Cecilia enjoyed her Tazita (espresso martini). Since it was her birthday, these smoothly blended and strong shots were comped. Our main courses., as it were, were the "Tuxedo" for birthday girl and the "Tia Maria" for me. My Tia Maria was a great blend of aged rum and curaçao and the mezcal gave it the right amount of sweet. Although I'm not a gin fan, the tuxedo I sampled definitely had a bite. I wonder if the absinthe led to some "interesting" conversations :)

    Ariete is one of my favs so I was excited that my buddy suggested we check out Scape Goat from the same group. We took some citi bikes from his place so when we got there we were a little warm. I was looking forward to cooling off with a beverage. They had the open aire thing going which is fine, but there was only two fans I saw and they were pointed at the ceiling. There was no air moving and it was so hot. We pushed through and got some cocktails. My buddy was excited to show off their cocktail prowess, but since it was cinco de mayo, they were on a limited menu. I got a mezcal old fashioned and was reminded very quickly how smokey mezcal is. To be honest, neither of us loved our drinks so we closed out and moved on to another spot. I would gladly come back to give it another go, but this time wasn't it for us.

    Came in for a drink since we were in the area. Happy hour is until 8 PM! Their HH drinks are pretty classic (Paloma, French 75, etc) and are $10 each. They also have some beer/wine selections available. The vibe is good for friends and dates. It's dark and cute inside. Parking is limited to a couple of parking lots around. But they're not a far walk. TLDR: a cute place to grab a drink after work or before dinner.

You know how some restaurants blast music so loud you end up yelling at the table? Not here. The music was at the perfect level where we could actually talk and enjoy each other. Any time I needed something, someone was right there to help. No chasing servers down, no attitude, just genuinely great service. Now the food. 20 out of 10. Honestly, everything was delicious. Not a single miss. The drinks though? 100 out of 10. Dangerous in the best way. Our waitress, I wish I remembered her name, was incredible. Every recommendation she made was spot on, and we loved everything she suggested. I would absolutely recommend this place, but part of me wants to keep it a secret because the vibe is just that good. If you're looking for amazing food, great drinks, and an overall great experience, this is it.

When we arrived we were greeted and promptly seated inside at the back wall in a booth. There was another couple to our left and one or two others across the room at other tables. The couple in the corner who was seat next to us proceeded to talk extremely loud and had several FaceTime calls with their children as if they were in a private location and not a restaurant. Our entire meal consisted of listening to them in the phone and talking so loud to each other and their server we could hear every word! This rude and annoying behavior overshadowed the meal and left us very frustrated and annoyed. If you are going to require certain attire (although several guest came in while we were there who had on shorts and flip flops) and charge very high prices, you should have a cell phone policy in place and redirect guest to step outside or leave if they feel the need to FT their family for 20-30 min. We spent well over $200 on a meal for two and it was one of the worst dining experiences we have ever had. The enjoyed the food we ordered except for the French onion soup which I sent back. The Burrata Caprese was fresh but could have used a few more tomatoes and my husband really enjoyed his steak. I chose not to order anything once my soup was returned because we wanted to leave as soon as possible. Over all the service was good and most of the food was too. Unfortunately, there are those who'd have no regard for their environment and those around them which makes others experience negative! The manager and severs were aware of what they were doing too as they walked by a few times and looked at them. But failed to intervene and for that they get two stars.

From start to finish, every part of the experience felt elevated, exciting, and so well done that we loved it so much, we immediately decided to come back for the Easter Day buffet and wow, it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is unmatched, the food was incredible, and every space has its own perfect vibe while still feeling cohesive and luxurious. What really made it stand out though was the service. The manager personally checked on us multiple times to make sure we were fully taken care of, which made us feel so valued as guests. On top of that, we were even surprised with drinks on the house, which was such an unexpected and thoughtful touch. MILA isn't just dinner, it's a full experience. Whether you're there for the restaurant, drinks, brunch, or a night out, they absolutely know how to deliver on every level. Easily one of the most memorable spots in Miami.
