They have bar seating as well as booths decorated with an airplane motif (the wall looks like if you're seated in a plane).

We dined here on Saturday night. We were running a few minutes late, but within their accepted window. The hostess told me that was fine. Upon arrival, the hostess said it would be 10-15 minutes before our table was ready. I noted there was an available table by the entrance, and she said we could sit there now instead if we liked. I said that's fine, as long as won't be forgotten/ignored. She insisted it would be fine. At 5 minutes we received bread and water. The gentleman said he was not our server, but one would be here shortly. And then at 10 minutes nothing. 15 minutes went by and I flagged the guy that gave us water and asked if we could have a server. He said of course and apologized. At 20 minutes we went back to the hostess stand to inquire why no server had seen us. She offered us a table in front of the bar instead, which essentially set the clock back to zero. A couple minutes later the guy with the water came by with more water and bread, but we just wanted to order. It took 10 minutes from being seated before we finally saw a server, which if you're keeping score is a total of, yep, 30 minutes. At this point I was over being hungry and had lost my appetite. Ordinarily I would have walked out from the experience at the first table, but my man was still hungry and I was not about to starve this amazing human being because of my principals. Hubs ordered a cocktail and we placed our dinner order finally. We both opted for the Miami Spice. I went with the crab cake for the appetizer, and branzino for my main. My man did did the pumpkin soup and paella. It's a personal pet peeve when the food shows up before cocktails, as I think they really help open the appetite, and honestly make everything taste better. After about 10 minutes our appetizers showed up yet no cocktail in sight. Finally it arrived and it was so strong it was impossible to drink. In our 20s we would have been thrilled at the booziness. In our 40s? Not so much. We each tried another sip after it had watered down, and even then it still packed a Kool-Aid man punch and we struggled to make a dent in it. Now the food here is actually really good if judging based on taste alone. The pumpkin soup was exquisite, and my crab cake was delicious! I loved the guava aioli. Alas, a great meal is more than a combination of ingredients. The preparation is also key. And this was lacking. The crab cake looked like it had been pan-fried perfectly, but instead the outside was a soggy disappointing mess. My bet is they either: 1. Batch make and reheat these, likely in a microwave 2. Messed up another order and gave me one that had been laying around for awhile, or 3. Rinse it under water before serving for some bizarro reason When the entrees came out there was literally steam coming from hubby's paella. It was fresh and ready! And omg, it was perfection on the tongue! My branzino? Le sigh. The fish was excellently prepared. The mashed potatoes? COLD. Veggies? About the same. I guess they made mine and left it sitting while the shrimp paella and fish finished up. These details are what makes a meal excellent, and it's disappointing to see so many things neglected in a place that otherwise executes really flavorful and creative food. This meal could have easily been 5 stars if it wasn't for these lackadaisical oversights. We rounded out the dinner on an upswing at least. I had the Crêpe Caribeño and my Mr opted for the Tres Guayaba. The crêpe was filled with coconut and dulce de leche, with a brulée finish on top, and a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was decadent but surprisingly not overly sweet. The Tres Guayaba was saccharine sweet for me but my man loved it! Now, this place had already left a bad taste in my mouth. But what made it even worse was the next day I went to have my leftovers (half of the branzino and mash/veg. I took 3 bites and on the 4th somehow managed to find the largest thick fish bone that lodged up and stabbed deep into my gums in the fleshy spot behind the two front teeth. It took 3 tries to yank this sucker out. Idk how such a big bone got missed by their kitchen. I am lucky I didn't swallow that because it absolutely would have been an ER visit. That shit was traumatic.

The veal porcini was over the top, very gererous helping and a delicious mushromm sauce and the dish came with perfectly cooked mixed vegetables, including brussels sprouts, which we love. And the very accomodating server and chef prepared a special Angel Hair pasta with a custom made Pomodoro sauce: superb. It has been too long since were there and it was delightful to be back. We won't take so long and look to come back soon. See Yelp.

The wait time was quick--under 5 minutes--on a saturday night and we were seated outside. We started with a fried seafood appetizer, which was enjoyable. For my main dish, I ordered the linguine alle vongole. Unfortunately, it was extremely disappointing. Every bite contained noticeable sand, making the dish gritty and inedible. I asked for it to be removed from the bill and declined a replacement. The manager, Fabian, came over but did not seem very understanding or accommodating. Stating they always clean their clams and that he would see with the kitchen. While the dish was removed, the issue didn't feel properly acknowledged. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and I likely will not return. I have been to many restaurants and asked for this same dish and never had to crunch on sand

Easy to find since it's located inside the Hilton Hotel on the west end of Baptist Hospital. Plenty of parking too. If you walk in through the main entrance, the restaurant is beyond the lobby area on the right hand side. Once there, I noticed the bar was full with no available seats. Unable to find anyone to advise me which tables belonged to the bar area, I asked another customer and managed to find a small table for two. I was warned by the couple seated next to me that the service was extremely slow. They were right, it was a while before we had someone come by the table to take our order. We didn't take a chance and ordered our drinks with food in order to avoid an additional delay. Happy Hour is a deal, $5 dollar house wine, beer, well drinks, mojitos and margaritas. Appetizers at the time were 50% off (*** see note at end). I wasn't in the mood for the drink special, so I ordered a prosecco. I also ordered the Florida Red Fish Sandwich. The fish is blackened and comes with provolone cheese, bibb lettuce, tomatoes and is served on a buttered brioche bun. I'm a bit picky so I skipped the avocado, bacon and aioli. As we were warned, the service was slow. So slow that I noticed someone who may have been a manager clearing tables and checking in with customers. I found out apparently we visited on a day that had been difficult for them. They had recently experienced employee turnover and a few of the servers were brand new. Now that made a great deal of sense considering the awful service. I fully understand a restaurant can have a bad day. Couple that with their honesty, that was greatly appreciated. The prosecco I ordered was a single serve bottle, La Marca. I've had it before and it's actually very good. When the food arrived and I took my first bite.....it was amazing! The fish was fresh, properly prepared and seasoned perfectly. The bun was yummy too. If I was rating the meal by itself, I'd say it was a full five star sandwich. Leaving was a bit of work, yup, it took forever to get the bill. In the end, the food was so darn good and couple that with not being in a rush, it wasn't a big deal. In summary, Table 55 was a bargain with discounted appetizers, drinks and excellent food. Hope the service improves because it has great potential to be perfect! ***They have changed their happy hour specials. Although when I visited, the appetizers were 50% off, they are now discounted. Drinks specials are $5 house drinks and draft beer. Happy Hour is still every Monday-Friday 4-8 PM, and Saturday-Sunday 9-11 PM.

The Aperol wasn't too sweet, and the Negroni had a very summerish classic taste...both top notch! As the first round of cocktails was so good, I had to go for a Moscow Mule because it's one of my favorite drinks. Mixed better than I have ever tried before...EVER...and this is because they used the best liquor, Canaima Gin! Finally, I was delighted with the very best Espresso Martini I have tried in my life. So creamy, smooth, and strong coffee vibes, perfectly blended with vodka, hitting all the right tunes... yes you thought it right, just like Sabrina Carpenter's summer classic hit, Espresso! The girls at the bar were super patient as the place was packed and they never took the smile off their faces. The lounge bar area has an Italian style, another reason why you feel as if you were in another town. Thanks to The Globe for making our travel drink-tasting session chic and within the comfort of Coral Gables!

I enjoyed this plate but I wasn't blown away. A couple friends ordered pasta which smelled really good. Our server wasn't overly attentive but was there when we needed. My favorite thing about this place was that street parking was available literally outside the front door. I don't think I've ver parked this close to the entrance of a location in Miami and definitely wasn't expecting it in this area. This place was okay and I'd go again if I wanted someplace easy to go to.

It's in a little plaza between a Panda Express and a Jimmy John's . It's literally a gem. DECOR: Wow. So nice. It's beautiful. They even have an area that looks as if it was carved out of the side of a mountain (Italy vibes for sure). There are also trees but coming off the walls, high up by the ceiling. It's very nice. Even the balsamic vinegar bottle looks authentic. I was told by someone that works there that they were going to be extending the restaurant to make a bar area. I am sure it'll be a success. FOOD: Very, very good. And the portions are fantastic. It's like what it used to be to be in the early 2000s (really good tasting food and big portions). You definitely won't leave hungry here. The wine is very good too. SERVICE: Very good. I've already gone back and had great service both times. This place is fantastic. Heads up, there's barely any parking outside and you need reservations. It even gets packed midday during the weekday.
