Silverlake Bistro used to be our go-to neighborhood restaurant in Miami. It offered consistently…read moregood food, a welcoming atmosphere, and reasonable prices, making it an easy recommendation for friends and family. In fact, as my wife and I were walking in on our most recent visit, I was commenting that this would be a great place to bring out-of-town guests. Unfortunately, that opinion changed by the end of the evening. When the bill arrived, we learned that the corkage fee had increased from $25 to $35 without any notice. We politely explained that we were longtime customers who had always paid the longstanding $25 fee, but management was unwilling to make any accommodation or honor the previous rate. The increase itself did affect our perception. While $10 may not seem like a large amount, it represented a significant percentage jump for a neighborhood bistro, and it shifted the overall value equation for us in a noticeable way. What made it more frustrating is that a corkage fee increase feels different from a menu price adjustment. Rising food, labor, and operating costs can justify higher menu prices, but a corkage fee is simply a charge for opening and serving a bottle the customer brings in. Increasing it 40% without notice felt excessive, especially for a casual neighborhood restaurant rather than a high-end dining establishment. At $35, the corkage fee no longer feels aligned with the restaurant's positioning or value. Combined with the lack of transparency and the unwillingness to honor a long-standing rate for loyal customers, it meaningfully changed how we view the restaurant. The food was still very good, as it has been on previous visits. However, the overall experience left a sour taste. As a result, my wife and I won't be returning, and we will no longer recommend Silverlake Bistro to friends, family, or out-of-town visitors. That's a shame, because this was once one of the best reasonably priced neighborhood restaurants in the area. A relatively small change, handled differently, could have preserved our loyalty. Instead, it cost the restaurant two regular customers and future word-of-mouth recommendations.

I have not actually been at the restaurant, but I got an opportunity to try it at La Poubelle, the…read morepiano bar which serves food from Silverlake Bistro. We ordered: - a burger with fries - a buttermilk bibb lettuce salad - ice cream with chocolate sauce Rating these three: - The burger was absolutely outstanding, delicious, very well made, absolutely amazing. - The ice cream with chocolate sauce was also pretty good. - The bibb lettuce salad was not my favorite at all. It was overly-drenched with dressing. The flavor was a little bit off, and I actually couldn't finish the salad, which was a smallish portion to begin with. Overall, I would definitely love to try Silverlake Bistro based on the food I tried at La Poubelle. I've heard so many great things about it, so I'd definitely give it a try.

The managers are deleting my reviews because of what I'm saying and they don't want to leave it up. It's BS what they're doing here. They use my card after I left twice. I repeat twice. I used to come here all the time, but I don't know what happened to the place. Maybe it's new management but they use your money because they're broke never come here. If you do, you're going to be sorry you did and I warned you lol. This places gives me the ick what a bad place.

This was our last time eating at Hillstone. It's no wonder…read moreI'm seeing so many negative reviews lately. At 6:00 p.m., they were already out of two fish dishes. On top of that, they refuse to make even the slightest accommodation or deviation from the menu--none whatsoever. The food used to be very good here, but that's no longer the case. And whatever you do, don't order the crab cakes. While they contained very little filler, they had absolutely no seasoning and were completely tasteless. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Meal - the pineapple was delicious and fresh, though the cantaloupe was bland. The honeydew was fresh and pretty good, and the strawberries were mediocre. Overall the fruit plate wasn't bad but the pineapple stole the show. The french toast was great, the bananas (which I don't usually care for) and bacon added a lot to the dish. The egg sandwich wasn't great, the sauce was weird which was the only thing with flavor, it was just an okay sandwich. Overall, this place is great, so give it a shot while staying at Hilton in Miami!

The restaurant has a beautiful outdoor patio with a fun South Beach vibe, and I can see why so many people enjoy spending time there. The service was friendly and attentive, which made for a pleasant experience. Many online reviews also praise the lively ambiance and consistently good service. (Tripadvisor⁠) As someone who doesn't eat meat, I appreciated that there were vegetarian options available. I ordered the avocado toast, which was fresh but fairly ordinary and lacked the flavor I was hoping for. It was good, just not memorable. Overall, The Social Club is worth visiting for the atmosphere, drinks, and people-watching, but I expected more from the food. I'd consider going back for the vibe, though I'd probably try something different from the menu next time.

Phenomenal. Food is outrageous…read more Recommend: oysters Rockefeller, bolognese pasta, truffle pasta, beef Wellington, whipped potatoes (I could have had the entire thing it was so amazing) and broccolini. Tip: pastas are small. Almost half portions. We ordered a few and split them family style (ordered 3 for 6 people and had to order more). Beef Wellington - - while I thought it was weird to order, SO glad we did. It was so tender and cooked perfect. They also cut it for you so you don't need to worry about it! Ambiance is amazing but you NEED reservations. Also need to make sure you are either on time or if you are at the bar next door, you check in if you are running behind.

We have tried all of Thomas Keller's restaurants and ultimately everything turned out to be very…read moregood but never great. This is how I would describe the Surf Club. The menu consists of well known dishes but there are no surprises - everything is cooked well and tasty but not memorable. The best dish is the Ceasar's salad which is prepared table side, using raw eggs (!) and is a must-order simply for the show. Everything seemed to order it. The crab cakes were very good - crispy crust and big chunks of crab with a spicy mayo on the side - worth it. Lumache Alla Vodka was also good, with the pasta cooked just right and a nice spicy kick to the sauce. The almonds on the European Sea Bass made the fish - toasted and slightly caramelized paired with a very good sea bass. Get it if you are in the mood. The oysters Rockefeller are simply ok but not worth reordering. The chocolate layer cake was also very good but not extraordinary and typically of any good pastry shop's version. Finally the service is what you would expect of a Michelin Star, which was precise and well executed although our waiter has a pretty bland personality compared to the guy serving the table next to us.

The kids both had cheese pizza and fruit, and the pizza was really good! My sister and I each had the grilled chicken sandwich. It had whipped feta and bacon which added so much flavor and made it uniquely tasty. The French fries had their own herb seasoning which was especially good too. We both agreed the sandwich was the perfect portion as well. Our server, Courtney, was very attentive and friendly. And the restaurant had a sophisticated and pretty ambiance. My sister kept saying how much she loved the color scheme and the decor and how we made a great decision going there for lunch! I would definitely recommend, but I especially look forward to going back for brunch and some drinks!
