I can't recommend this place enough. I knew the food would be great because I had seen reviews and videos beforehand, but every single dish exceeded my expectations. With each course that arrived, I kept thinking, "there's no way it can get better," but truth be told--spoiler alert--it absolutely does. Ernesto gave us outstanding service. He walked us through the entire experience in detail and took such great care of us throughout the night. It's one of those rare places that leaves you already thinking about when you can come back again. read more

To Be Determined was an incredible dining experience from start to finish. I absolutely love the concept of the secret menu--it adds an element of surprise and makes the meal feel truly unique. Every plate that came out was thoughtfully prepared and left us wanting more. The owner was extremely pleasant and made us feel genuinely welcome. We visited for our anniversary and were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary glass of wine, which was a very thoughtful touch and made the evening even more special. Seating was a little tight, but that's to be expected at such a popular and intimate boutique dining spot. The food, service, and overall experience more than made up for it. We'll definitely be returning and can't wait to see what surprises are on the menu next time. read more

This restaurant is such a creative concept, and all I can say is I'm grateful I'm not the one constantly tasked with dreaming up the menu. I just get to enjoy the results and look forward to coming back to see what they serve next. I'm a little late posting this review, and the dishes may have already rotated off the menu, so apologies in advance but I'm here to say this place easily serves the best flan in Miami. You heard it here first, and I consider myself qualified to make that call as a Miami native with Cuban roots. The Korean beef tartare and pork chop were both delicious and perfect for sharing. The bread with curry butter was also a great way to start the meal. Overall, every dish felt thoughtful, creative, and worth coming back for (even if they won't be there lol). read more

Overhyped & underwhelming. Giving 4 stars because the service was fantastic. The food itself left more to be desired. Every dish was unfortunately salty. Best dish of the night is the Cavatelli. At the end of the dining experience I asked myself was it worth it and would i come back and the answer is no. read more

This is a rating for their Tuesday pizza pop ups, Stregone. They are a mess. It is a tiny place. You wait at the front and you have to order everything there before you get seated. If you want to order more once you're seated you have to get back up and wait in the line of people who are waiting to get seated, pay, or order more. You even have to order WATER, if not they will not bring you.... We obviously didn't know that so we didn't order water and no one ever brought us any. The line was so long we didn't want to wait in it so we never had water. The pizza takes forever to come out one at a time. The pepperoni one was good and a little sweet, the rest had no flavor. Would not go back for the pizza. Maybe their regular restaurant is more organized. **edit to respond to the owner's comment - the majority of my reviews are overwhelmingly positive so you are incorrect read more

Wow, this place was incredible! I thoroughly loved every dish that I tried. From the scallops, to the mushrooms, to the incredibly cooked steak, and the star the crab cavatelli pasta, I have no words other than to try this hidden gem. It's the perfect spot for a date night, just note it's very tiny and dimly lit so it's very intimate. A huge thank you to our server Ernesto for recommending several of the dishes. Each dish was tastier than the next. The menu is tiny and so is the wine selection, but it's perfect for narrowing down the best of the best. We also ordered a red Tempranillo wine which paired heavenly with steak. We tried all three of the desserts that day and the best one had to be the baklava, which is unfortunately not pictured. It was creamy, crunchy and flaky all at the same time, all the best textures for a dessert. What a great experience with friends. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. The food arrived cold, and when we politely brought it to their attention, we were treated like we had done something wrong. They took part of the meal away to be reheated and then somehow managed to never bring it back. Impressive, in a way. We paid the full bill despite not receiving the full meal and eventually had to walk up to the front ourselves because the staff made a point of avoiding eye contact after we mentioned the issue. Customer service apparently goes cold right along with the food. After reading other 1-star reviews, I can see a clear pattern. The owner's responses are shockingly rude and seem dedicated to blaming customers rather than listening to feedback. When multiple people are saying the same thing, maybe it's time to stop attacking reviewers and start addressing the problems. read more

I'm not exaggerating when I say this ..To Be Determined is hands down one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Everything about it was incredible. The only "flaw," if you can even call it that, is the size. It's a tiny, dimly lit space with only about nine tables. But honestly, that's part of what makes it so special. It's tough to get a reservation, but the intimacy of the space turns it into the perfect fine dining or date night experience. The menu is small with around 15 items and changes every two weeks, which totally fits the name and keeps things exciting. We started with the miso corn and tiger prawns, and let me tell you, who knew corn could taste that good? Whatever miso butter they use is magic. The tiger prawns were huge, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor in that zesty Aji Amarillo sauce. For mains, we went with the crab cavatelli pasta and the 14 oz ribeye. Both were out of this world. The pasta came out steaming hot and garnished with bonito flakes that moved from the heat ..the wildest and coolest touch! And the steak!? Cooked to absolute perfection. So tender, so flavorful, and those whipped potatoes... there are no words for those. The black rice dish was another surprise, layered with octopus on the bottom also so unique and delicious. Dessert sealed the deal. We tried two of the three options..the flan and the apple strudel. Both were phenomenal, but the flan stole the show. It was airy, light, and unlike any typical flan you've had. Trust me, don't skip it. Every single dish left such an impression that after each bite, we couldn't stop thinking about the one before it. It was that good. In fact, we've already made reservations for next month and can't wait to see what new seasonal items hit the menu next. That's how incredible this place is. Lastly, Shoutout to Ernesto for being such a great waiter! read more

The service here was amazing. Our server explained all the dishes individually. The concept behind the restaurant is very interesting because they change their menu every 2 weeks. I like that because you get to try something new every time you visit. My favorite dish out of everything we tried was the Branzino. It was a good portion and the sauce was very flavorful. The bread to start off was soft and the miso butter had a maple essence to it. The other dishes were good but the portions were a bit smaller. Everything was still good. The corn was served in the husk which was interesting, it tasted like Mexican elote. The octopus was good, my favorite part was the Thai coconut foam. I wish the dish had more of the foam on it. They only serve beer and wine, I'm guessing they don't have an liquor license yet so they haven't added cocktails. The dessert was a flan, it tastes like a crema de catalana. I will definitely come back to try more dishes since the menu is always changing. read more

What an unforgettable evening! I've been dying to try this place - it's walking distance from our house and I would always pass by it and was so curious about the dim lit mystery that was on the corner of this street. There is bar seating as soon as you come in, but the main seating is in a small room in the back - the vibe is very romantic and intimate - definitely good for a date night! The service was very good - we had Ernesto with the great recommendations and background on the restaurant and each dish. It was hard not to order everything on the menu, since each dish sounded like it brought so much flavor to the whole experience. We ordered the oysters with chimichurri to start which were bright and refreshing. Next, we had the scallops, which was rich with the flavors of the mushrooms and pecorino foam. The steak tartare was one of my favorites with a really nice flavor with the aji Amarillo and truffle. The white asparagus was cooked perfectly and I will say, the addition of ikura on many of the dishes really was the cherry on top (literally!). The tiger prawns themselves were cooked perfectly and were huge! I will say, the sauce tasted a little charred and was not our favorite. Finally, the crab cavatelli was a perfect final dish - the pasta was cooked to al dente perfection and paired well with the Calabrian chili butter sauce which was savory and salty (in a good way). After many amazing dishes, we couldn't resist ordering the quesillo dessert, and thank goodness we did! This was the best dessert I've had in a very long time. It melted in your mouth and tasted like a mix between a basque cheesecake, panna cotta, and crème brûlée... Qué rico! I will definitely be coming back to try the other dishes I did not have the extra stomach space for this time. read more

I went there for a date night last night with my boyfriend. The steak tartare was mid. The black rice was undercooked and still hard. The lump crab cavatelli was the best thing we ordered, it was delicious, and I would definitely order that again if the portion were larger. Portion sizes overall are very small for the price. Our waiter did mention that these were sharing plates and the portions would be on the smaller side, but we didn't expect them to be this small. The ambience is nice, a dark room with dim lighting. But they need to fix the floors since the paint is chipping off. Service was also great. I'd also like to mention that parking is very limited and you'd have to find street parking. Luckily, I was able to find a parking spot right in front of the restaurant. Overall, it was an alright one time experience. read more

I didn't really know what to expect when we booked our reservation, all I can say is it exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed this entire experience from the ambiance, to our waiter Ernesto, who was so welcoming and knowledgeable, to most importantly the food. We ordered a variety of different options to share amongst the table. To start we had their bread with curry butter and beef tartare. Both had a little kick that was unexpected, I am sensitive to spice, but it was so good it was nothing I couldn't handle. For our next round we had the blue oyster mushrooms, lump crab cavatelli, and the pork chop. My favorite of the three was the cavatelli. It was so fun to see the food "moving" and the taste is was really sold me. My personal favorite of the night was the flan. We were told it would "melt in your mouth" and it truly did. I've never had a flan like this. I think the flan usually stays on the menu. I hope the next time I go back it's still there! read more

I was thoroughly impressed by this restaurant. It is hidden off of a busy street in the Gables and is very unassuming. The inside is pretty dark. It is candle lit and very nice for a romantic dinner. It is not too loud and there's music playing that's instrumental. All of the waiters and waitresses were very accommodating and were fast at bringing our food The menu here rotates every two weeks and the wine and beverage menu rotates every six weeks. The dishes are pretty diverse however they're really aren't too many vegetarian options. At least for when I went we got the lump crab cavatelli. That was easily one of my favorite dishes that I've had in all of Miami. I would absolutely get it again. It was so flavorful not too spicy, but everything really harmonized. Well, we also got the steak which I thought was very well seasoned however the portion for the sweet potato was almost laughable. It was just one 2 x 2" Piece of sweet potato. My favorite desert was the Venezuelan pintas. It came with a decadent latte ice cream. read more

I woke up this morning thinking about my dinner last night at To Be Determined, which I have decided was the best meal I have had in 2025 thus far. My girlfriends and I snagged a 6 pm resi, and were so excited to try TBD. We had heard great things about this new spot tucked away off 32 and Coral Way, and it did not disappoint. Our server, Elloy (I hope I spelled that right) was so welcoming and explained the concept. The small menu rotates every two weeks, and while it features similar style of dishes it depends on what the chef is interested in making and availability of ingredients. The menu has about 8 things for dinner and 2 desserts. Our group of three ordered 7 items on the menu and all were absolutely divine. Brian the Sommelier recommended a spanish white wine for us, which we enjoyed. We ordered: +Salad +Crudo +Octopus +Lump Crab Cavatelli +Risotto +Lubina +Oysters I know that the dishes we ordered will likely not be on the menu by the time someone is reading this review, but I do need to acknowledge that while everything was amazing the Cavatelli may make its way to my top bites of the year. It was the perfect mix of textures and flavors and we all agreed it was the star of a very solid lineup. The octopus was also cooked to perfection along with the Lubina which is like a cousin of Branzino and came with a black garlic hollandaise. This spot is cozy, and I would suggest to go in a group of at least 3 or 4 so that you can share many things from the menu. The portions are a good size and we did not leave hungry but also did not leave overly full. While the menu changes often so you may not know what you will be getting when you go, just know the team here is so passionate about creating a memorable dining experience with the wine, food, vibes and service so you are in for a treat. They do not take walk ins because of how they organize their dining experience but you can walk in to have a glass of wine at the bar if they aren't fully booked. Totally loved this and the only thing left to be determined for me about this spot is when I am booking my next resi back! Congrats on something very special, folks. read more

We wanted to celebrate two big wins; my new job and my boyfriend's recent deal close, so after some research, I landed on TBD. Neither of us had ever been, but the reviews were glowing and it seemed like the perfect spot for a special night. We booked an 8:15 reservation for Saturday. The entrance immediately sets a mood. Tucked in an unexpected location, the foyer (for lack of a better term) is dimly lit with terrazzo floors, a long bar, and mid-century mod vibes. It felt like we were about to have a moment. We were then led into an even darker dining room: minimalist, with teeny-tiny tables and a dramatic black curtain covering the wall. We ordered a bottle of German Chardonnay, which ended up being one of the highlights of the night. I hate oaky California Chardonnays, but the Sommelier promised this one was different and he was SO RIGHT. Bright, crisp, and perfectly chilled! I loved it. Since the menu is designed for sharing, we tried a little bit of everything: oysters, shaved pear and fennel salad, hamachi crudo, Chilean sea bass and my favorite, the Crab Cavatelli. Each dish was inventive and well-executed. Flavor-wise, everything hit. That said, you could definitely tell it's a new spot. The space still needs some fine-tuning. Our tiny table was awkwardly wedged into a corner by the bathrooms, with my boyfriend's seat practically in the main walkway. And instead of using a wine stand, they placed the ice bucket directly on our already overcrowded table which made the small-plate sharing a little chaotic. The service was warm and attentive, and the food and wine made up for the awkward layout, but the physical discomfort did affect the experience. Still, I'm rooting for them. Once they work out those kinks, I'd definitely come back. read more

I'm probably being a bit unfair in this review, penalizing the restaurant for what was my choice. I ordered a bottle of pretty good Argentinian wine (7/10). However, I probably should have ordered a glass of red and white based on the meal. I was influenced by our server, but I know better. Also a note, my guest was a bit surprised by the location and asked, are we safe? Having said that, let's go! We ran the menu except for the corn. The bread, which we both thought was a burger, was a nice surprise. Pillowy and seasoned nicely (8/10). The salt was a bit agressive for my taste, which was a running note throughout the night. Another nice surprise were the oysters (10/10, my favorite dish of the night). There were so many flavors and they all worked. I also enjoyed the scallop dish (9/10), which was surrounded by a leche de tigre that was a great compliment. When I heard the description, I thought this isn't going to work. Chef proved me wrong. Be sure to include the finely chopped veg hidden under the mound of scallops in your bite. My nine is because raw fish should be cold, not kinda cold. The shrimp were a surprise miss for me (5/10). Something about the cook was off. Unlike every other dish, there was a lack of flavor here which would have been okay if the smoke was more pronounced. The calamari dish was okay. I'm looking at the picture I took and the most memorable component were the tiny black beans (I think it was a bean.) The infamous cavatelli dish lived up to the dancing dish hype (8/10). Flavors in my mind that shouldn't work together kinda did. An eight because I'm still deciding if I really liked those flavors together. The black rice dish was good, but had it's issues (7/10). There could have been a bit more of the buried protein, and after two bites it turned very gummy, a bit like glue. I imagine this dish is pretty difficult to perfect each and every time. I think I'm missing a couple pictures. The steak was fine. I was surprised I couldn't order it medium rare. I was told chef only cooks it medium. The flan was the hit that everyone says it is 10/10. It very well may be the best in Miami, as my server stated. The apple tart . . . if you're not an apple fan, don't bother. The in-house made ice cream was another nice surprise with a flurry of flavors that make your taste buds work overtime. The service was good. I was surprised that fresh tasting plates took a bit longer to appear than I would have liked. The hype is real, with a bit of clever marketing, as my menu was identical to many of those I read about in reviews. I'm glad I went. I don't need to go back. When I pay for a unique dinner out, I do expect a bit more. The highs were high, but the average aspects were a bit too average. read more

We came here with very high expectations because this place came highly recommended--and while there were some excellent moments, the overall experience was disappointing. Let's start with the good: the restaurant is cozy and nicely designed, and some dishes really delivered. The black rice, pork, and bluefin tuna were all very good. The standout was the quesillo--hands down the best flan we've ever had. Unfortunately, several things went wrong. Parking is extremely limited, and when we called to ask for suggestions nearby, the person on the phone was dismissive. I get that it's a small place, but courtesy matters. Even with a reservation, we waited almost an hour to be seated. Delays happen, but that's excessive. While waiting, we were offered "complimentary" drinks at the bar, which later appeared on our bill--never a good look. As for the recommended dishes, they were underwhelming. The ribeye was cooked well, but the sauce didn't work. The prawns were just okay and nothing special. The lump crab cavatelli was bland, and even the house wine was forgettable. Overall, the concept is good and there's potential here, but between the long wait, service issues, and uneven food, it just wasn't enough for us. At this price point, we expected a lot more. read more

To Be Determined has a clean, minimalist aesthetic that works well--simple but stylish. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a great wine recommended by the sommelier. Unfortunately, our order was initially mixed up, and while it wasn't a huge issue, it did delay the food. The rotating menu concept is interesting, but the pricing didn't quite match the experience. $17 for corn with average flavor felt steep, and overall, the food didn't justify the high price point. It seems like one of those Miami spots hyped by influencers more for its vibe than its food. We stumbled upon it by chance and were intrigued, but based on this first visit, I'm not sure I'd return. There are plenty of places in the same price range that offer better value and more satisfying dishes. read more

The service, the atmosphere and oooooh... the presentation and the flavor of the cuisine was over the top! Simply amazing!!!

Wow. This has to one of my favorite meals of this year. When you walk in, you are greeted and see this intimate, dimly lit place. There are few tables in the back dining room. Because of the size of this place, it feels very VIP. We had tried to come the night before but there was an issue in the kitchen so they rescheduled us for the following day and wow did they make up for it!! To begin, the bread... THE BREAD. The butter wa incredible and the bread was coated in honey. The oysters were incredibly and had a little kick to them. The crisp flavors were all so random but together they were magical: frozen raspberries, hamachi, ponzu, strawberry hoisin. The lump crab cavatelli was phenomenal. Very cool to see how the tuna shavings almost dance to the heat. The ribeye was probably the best steak I've had all year hands down. Flavorful, tender, buttery, incredible. read more

I've seen numerous great reviews here and on social media for this place but it feels like Emperors New Clothes syndrome. I truly do not understand what everyone sees or tastes in this place, which is sad because I was so excited for this place to open up, hoping it would be a neighborhood gem. Like a gem, it is expensive but sadly it's not the neighborhood spot I was hoping for that I could frequent for easy date nights or when I was not in the mood to cook. The food while tasty, is not worthy of its extremely high price tag and it's not as welcoming as I hoped overall. Their menu changes regularly but is very limited so if you have any food restrictions you may find your options limited. As non shellfish eaters, our choices here were just that. I've visited twice, on our first visit they had just opened and my partner and I shared the cavatelli and enjoyed a glass of wine each. The pasta was good but the sauce was not better than what I can cook at home and it was plated in a way that immediately lost its heat. This is a huge pet peeve of mine when pasta is served on a large flat plate as it cools down immediately, and while it was good warm it quickly lost its appeal as it cooled. I don't remember much about the white wine we had. I think it was 11 or 12 dollars and they only had 3 or 4 choices at the time. We visited again this month and I was further unimpressed since they now have been open for over 3 months. They are on Resy now and had no reservations available but since we live close we decided to stop by to see if they had walk in seating. They said we could sit at the bar only which was fine, I'm happy to sit at the bar normally but there was some condensation from the ceiling that landed on us. Meanwhile others came in without reservations and were offered tables. We decided not to order wine as the cheapest glass was now 15 dollars for a 20 dollar bottle of wine. We shared the fennel pear salad and the risotto. The way the salad was served felt like they were mocking me, on a giant plate with only half of the plate filled. Not that I was so impressed with the flavors of the salad that I wanted more but for 17 dollars, one might expect a decently sized salad. The pear was sliced so thin I could barely taste it and I think there may have been only one pear for the entire restaurant. On a positive note, the risotto was delicious, very creamy, the perfect al dente bite, and with perfectly cooked steak on top. Sadly again, there was very little of it. As far as service goes, no one asked us how our meal was until the end and when I mentioned being disappointed in the salad, my comment wasn't even acknowledged. I'm truly confused what the hype is over this place. Of the three dishes I had, I was only really impressed with the taste of one, but even so it did not warrant its steep price. I would perhaps expect that type of price for a place in an extremely expensive or touristy part of town. Off of Coral Way I don't understand it; the atmosphere while cosy is not upscale. The bartender mentioned that they were perhaps inspired by Japanese vibes but having just returned from a trip to Japan I was not reminded of any the wonderful bars or izakaya we dined at. For folks needing to try the newest place and having the means to do so you may find a dish or two you enjoy here if you are able to try several but if you are looking to appreciate good food without overpaying this isn't the place. read more

I genuinely debated writing this review for a few days but I seriously have to say something. I was so excited to check out To Be Determined and left so disappointed. People rave about this spot and I really wanted to like it but I cannot justify this restaurant. The server explained that the dishes are meant to be shared, which typically means the portions are going to be a decent/large size. Wrong. He then explains the portions are on the smaller size but I did not expect them to be THAT small. We ordered 4 appetizers including the house bread, scallops, calamari, and miso corn. The house bread was placed in front of us and I knew we were screwed. One singular pita bread the size of a CD disk was placed in front of our table of 4 people and the best part was that it cost $10. The dishes kept getting smaller and smaller, and the wait time between them got longer and longer. I was expecting at least a decent size of miso corn considering everyone on Instagram was posting these massive husks of corn. Wrong again. We got half the portion people on Instagram were given. At this point I literally said out loud "Am I being punked?" Now for the sides, we got the black rice and the lump crab cavatelli. The black rice was fine, nothing crazy; but the cavatelli actually pissed me off. $40 for a tiny portion and there was little to no crab in it. The pasta was hard and the sauce was watery. I would literally rather be robbed at gun point vs. being robbed through mediocre dishes. The ONLY saving grace for this dinner was the ribeye. They couldn't skimp on that since it was promised to be 16 ounces, but even that took 45 minutes to come out after finishing our sides. We left without dessert since we wanted to avoid more disappointment and went to McDonald's immediately after. I wish I would have taken photos for evidence but I was genuinely so embarrassed that I suggested this spot for a double date. I know a lot of people love this place, and I really wanted to also; but if you're the type of person that doesn't wanna spend a ton of money on small dishes then I wouldn't recommend even trying this spot. Maybe it was an off day and I really hate writing bad reviews since I know how much time and effort it takes for restaurants to build themselves up but I genuinely cannot let this experience slide. read more

Lovely experience all around. Excellent and engaging service. Dim lighting and cozy ambiance. Incredible food. We had the oysters, the shrimp foam potatoes, which were creamy and delicious. The sea bass multes in your mouth. And the steak was cooked to perfection. Each with a wine pairing. It's an excellent concept and we truly enjoyed the attention to detail and creativity of the menu. Will be back. read more

WOW. Everything was amazing from the staff to the creativity of the dishes. Absolutely delicious. No notes.

Hidden gem in Coral Gables! From the outside, I honestly thought it was just a bar and maybe two tables, but it's actually a bit bigger inside--still on the cozier side though, so definitely make a reservation. Service was great--super friendly and on point. They add a 20% tip automatically, but it really feels worth it. The food is designed for sharing and trying a little of everything. Portions aren't huge, which worked out great because we wanted to sample a bunch. Plus, the menu changes every 2-3 weeks (yes, even the drinks--wine and soda included), and old dishes don't come back for 3-6 months. So it's basically a new experience every time. Highlights: The octopus was super unique--light charcoal grill flavor, mashed potato, and a tangy citrusy sauce (pretty sure there was lime). Fresh and really well balanced. The oysters were crazy fresh--dressed with fruit juice and seasoning, they slid in like jello. If you're a meat lover, try the summer squash risotto. It comes with Wagyu on top (delicious), but my favorite part was actually the rice--creamy, a little nutty from chunks of nuts, and with lemon juice that made it taste almost like a savory cheese-lemon cake. The flan (their only menu staple) is melt-in-your-mouth good. And the tiramisu was a standout--sea salt and crunchy caramel inside, with a smooth dark chocolate that doesn't overpower with wine flavor. Overall, such a fun and satisfying experience. Definitely coming back to see what's new next round. read more

Had dinner here on a friday night. Place has great vibes; dark, good music and service was great. We really enjoyed the crudo and corn; had very powerful and delicious flavors. Only thing Id say is...its freezing! My husband had to run to the car to find me something to throw on/around bc the AC was blasting! So heads up; bring a coverup just in case. Great place though! read more

I visited this restaurant with my boyfriend this weekend. I really like the concept: We did not know what we would have, following the idea of "to be determined." If you are a picky eater, you may need to reconsider going there because you won't know what food you will get. However, if you are open to exploration, this is a perfect place to visit. All the people there were super friendly, and I loved the way they explained the concept and made their recommendations. Each appetizer was a small portion, so you may need to order more than one if you are going as a group. We ordered the house bread, tuna tartare, and bread with foie gras (sauce). For the entrée, I think the portion size was good. We ordered a pasta and a ribeye steak -- both were great. All the food was delicious and amazing! I am really looking forward to visiting again when there is a new menu (I think they are changing their menu every 2 weeks). Thank you again for the wonderful experience! read more

To Be Determined is a small, somewhat nondescript "hole in the wall" eatery that features a very small dining space with 1/2 dozen or fewer tables for 2 or 4, and the area just inside the main entrance contains a small bar and a few more tables for 2. The building that houses this restaurant was occupied until recently by a somewhat seedy-looking bar that kept the same Christmas decorations and lights in their windows year-round, and it's located across the street from an auto repair garage and also a somewhat rundown building that's often frequented by vagrants and contains a no-frills pizza joint, mini-mart, electronics shop and a pawn dealer. The owners of To Be Determined kept the same basic layout when they took over this building, they cleaned it up a bit, dressed it up with a fresh coat of paint and we've been anxious for this place to finally open after seeing the improvements they'd been making, and were looking forward to dining here. I've now come here twice. On the first visit the menu was somewhat limited, and the only wines they listed were I believe 4 selections, all from the Rioja family. Nothing really interested me and prices seemed a bit high for what this place is, so I politely said I'd stop back, hoping they'd expand their food menu and wine offerings in time. I was told by the staff that they'd update and change their menu on occasion, so my spouse and I returned again recently at around 8:45 p.m. on an evening when this place wasn't scheduled to close until 10. There were open seats at the bar and only a few people seated at tables, so we began to sit at the bar when we were asked if we had a reservation. When we said we didn't, they told us, somewhat bluntly, that they didn't accept walk-ins. I looked around and saw all the empty tables and bar stools, but it was obvious they didn't want to serve us, so we left here and went to one of the better steakhouses in nearby Coral Gables where they were happy to accept us without a reservation and we had an excellent meal there, start to finish. When I went to the To Be Determined website out of curiosity, I saw that they didn't have any reservations available for nearly another 2 weeks, and they only had very early dinner seatings at 6 p.m. available. To boot, it warned that if we had to cancel our reservation within several hours before our scheduled dining time, we'd be charged $25 + tax per person. What a joke! The only time I've agreed to that type of reservation fee and potential cancellation penalty was during the handful of times we've dined at the Top of the World restaurant in Vegas where the menu is extensive, the steaks cut like butter, some offerings on the wine list are exquisite and the service outstanding. $25 to reserve a table next to a window at that award-winning Las Vegas icon with breathtaking views is worth it. For this place - To Be Determined - a hole in the wall in a not so nice section of Miami, it's simply not. I wish this restaurant luck. As for us, we won't be returning. read more

To Be Determined - Wine was perfection - Seafood Near Me - Miami, Florida

This was delicious and a fun experience. We tried the full menu and liked everything. One thing to point out is that it did take a long time to get everything as they bring out one dish at a time. The flan was superior to anything I've ever tried and I normally don't even like flan. read more

See all

Great meal, ambiance and service. Great fusion of foods. The branzino is incredible!!! Great place for a date. read more

Really good food, fresh ingredients and relaxed vibe. I tried the whole menu and particularly enjoyed the cabbage, the pasta and the chocolate dessert which was a perfect combination of crunchy, sweet, velvety and tangy. I also love that the menu changes constantly. I will be back :) read more

The entire experience was excellent. As someone who doesn't really enjoy mushrooms, the Blue Oyster dish was divine. The seared scallops are a must; the mustard greens really made the dish. The NY strip was cooked perfectly. Service was wonderful; Milagros is very sweet. Loved the low profile, perfect ambiance for a date. They'll be changing the menu every 2 weeks so I'll definitely be back. read more

All of the food was amazing, staff was very polite and gave fantastic recommendations. Definitely will be back

My wife already left a review but due to the owner wanting to say that I was disrespectful when I really just wanted to clarify how we felt as guests to their establishment. Picture walking into an empty restaurant- get seated at a tiny table behind an empty bar that didn't event have a bartender (many times we opt for bar seating due to the unique and usually attentive experience) just someone who ended up being the owner whipping a bowl. Once we noticed there was a full dining room a few steps away we asked about sitting there before taking our seat and were told they were at a capacity (understandable since it is a small space) As we're browsing the menu the door behind us to the kitchen open and closes shining a bright light which apart from the absurdly awkward ambience was just another vibe killer. After 2-3 times of the door opening I get up and ask the hostess if we could wait for a table inside the main dining room, she checks her iPad for a minute or two(as I stand there and two gentleman whisper in Spanish that we're not happy with our seating arrangement and just stare at me) and says sure grab your menu. We walk into the dining room and theres a table for 2. At this point I realize I probably wont enjoy my meal since for whatever reason my wife and I apparently weren't invited to sit there earlier so we decide to leave. On the way out I ask for a manager and I'm greeted by a gentleman who says he's the owner. I start explaining to him that I didn't feel that it was ok that we showed up on time for our reservation and still were denied seating in the main dining room and felt like we were last minute walk ins. He immediately gets on the defense and starts saying the way their seating is arranged is set up as guests arrive and not sure what else. As he interrupts me and defends all the flaws now its him talking to me, someone standing behind him staring at me and another gentleman comes out of the kitchen also defending on the fly and basically waving his hands at the door as if we were out of our minds for not wanting to sit at a dead empty bar with minimal music and people flying in and out of the kitchen. As someone who fine dines frequently in Miami and major cities for work travel this is really one of the first times I've felt unwanted and not accommodated at an establishment. We proceeded to go to Luca, sit at the bar and enjoy dinner with a nice bottle of wine. I wish the owner the best and hope he can adjust his attitude and business-first mentality and maybe one day take care of a customer. read more
