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).

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

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.

I love it here! The entire staff was incredible! The food was delicious and unique and the flan here changed my perspective on the dish. First, let's start with Gabriela, who helped us get our lives together when looking for the best place to park. She was great and her service as a hostess went beyond the warm welcome on the phone and upon our arrival. Ernesto, was our server. He basically recommended the entire menu. lol! We went with the bread, oysters, scallop, mushrooms, pasta, rice and branzino (seven out of the nine dishes on the menu). The oysters, mushrooms and pasta were my top three of the seven dishes we enjoyed. We had the flan for dessert and it didn't disappoint. The dining area is very dimly lit so prepare for that. It's still a nice and quaint spot. It gets loud as the night passes, but it was all joyful noise. If you're looking for a quieter spot, stick to the bar area. Eloy and Alejandro, were two other staff who played a part in the experience. I'm bougie, so when I kindly requested fresh dishes and silverware after each dish, it wasn't a problem. They understood completely! This place is definitely in my top 10 and I can't wait to go back! Check them out. Support local. Enjoy!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
