We attended Schnebly's Mother's Day brunch and left extremely disappointed…read more Our group spent over $350 expecting a premium holiday brunch experience based on the advertising, but unfortunately it did not come close to meeting expectations. The food quality was underwhelming for the price. Buffet stations were frequently empty and took a long time to be refilled. The chicken paella was so salty it was nearly inedible, and the fried chicken was dry and lacked flavor. Overall, the food felt more comparable to a basic hotel breakfast buffet than a $65-per-person Mother's Day event. Service was also lacking. Our waiter rarely checked on our table, and we repeatedly had to get up and seek assistance ourselves. Several aspects of the event felt misleading. There was no clear indication during booking that the event would primarily be outdoors. We were seated in one of the elevated booths in the back where the fans provided very little airflow, making it uncomfortable. The advertised "live music" consisted of a single performer who was barely audible from our table. To add to the disappointment, the waterfall walkway was closed, which was one of the features we were most looking forward to enjoying while visiting the property. The only bright spots were the woman working at the front, who was kind and professional, and the employee at the omelet station, who was friendly and attentive. We chose Schnebly's for a special Mother's Day celebration because we had high expectations for both the venue and the experience. Unfortunately, we left feeling that the event did not deliver the quality, service, or value that was advertised. I also reached out directly to management regarding these concerns and, as of the time of this review, have not received a response.

This is an interesting pit stop if you're in South Florida. We went because it was mentioned in…read moresome TV shows and was something that stood out as unusual. But, it is really quite small. If this was a $10 admission fee, I'd probably add one star. But, they charge $25/pp and there's not much to the place. All that said....is it interesting? Sure. It makes you wonder why the guy who built the place obsessively worked to make it. The story about his lost love gives his the motivation. Still, pretty incredible that he went to this effort by himself.

Hubs told me about it, and then we heard about it together on Coast to Coast Am, early in our marriage. I had forgotten all about it until we were planning our trip to the Keys and my husband brought it up, so, we made it a priority to visit. Homestead is basically the last city you hit on the mainland before you begin your journey through the Keys, so you don't really have to make special plans to get here if you're heading there. Admission is $25 per adult, slightly less for children. With tax and a credit card convenience fee of $1.50, our total admission cost was $55. Personally, I think it was worth it, but then, I am into the weird stuff. The place can accomodate at least 100 people, but due to the oddity of the place and, I'm guessing, it's lack of notoriety, it doesn't seem to get very busy. There were maybe 25-30 people in the 2.5 hours we spent there. Coral Castle is almost entirely outdoors and exposed to the elements, so it is not really a castle. There are sitting areas, a dining area, bathing area and one enclosed living (sleeping) area. The living area could be called a tower, as it is two floors, but 1) You only get to see the lower floor which is now kind of a tool shed museum and 2) You can peek in it, but you can't actually go in it. Everything is made of a type of stone called oolite limestone. It is extremely strong and very heavy. The mystery of the castle is how it was built. How did one 5' tall man move multiple stones, weighing a ton or more, by himself? How did he make his stone chairs rock, and his stone gates turn? He claimed to know the secrets of the pyramid builders, and to this day, no one really knows how he did it. There are guided tours at regularly scheduled intervals, and you can join in anytime at no additional charge (recommended), or you can walk around and look at everything yourself, but there is no signage. You can stay as long as you want and take as many pictures as you want as well. There is a gift shop which has a cutout of Edward Leedskalnin, the man who built Coral Castle, that you can take a photo of or selfie with, along with the usual gift shop fare of shirts/sweatshirts, postcards, magnets, books, and other items. If you're looking for something interesting and unusual to do on the way to the Keys, I highly suggest a stop here. 99/2025

The owner greeted us and helped us choose our glasses of wine. We were able to talk about our trip to Argentina with him, and he taught us about traditional vs non-traditional Malbec that he has in the shop. Along the wall, the wine is sorted into fun categories such as "Miami summer", "wine for pasta", and "a love letter to Argentina". We ended up buying a unique bottle to give as a gift. While the husband is the sommelier, his wife does the food program. We weren't hungry so didn't try anything, but are looking forward to returning. This is a wonderful family owned business to support if you love good wine and are in the area.

The menu has a great variety, including excellent options on the kids' menu. Just note that the portions are very large! The Chilean Sea Bass was the absolute highlight--flaky and delicious. The only minor downside was the fried fish filet, which had a bit too much breading. Overall, between the breathtaking views and the fantastic ambiance, it was a memorable night. Highly recommend!

The Cellar Club is located in the lower lobby of The Biltmore Hotel and has always been a good spot to grab a drink. I think the last time I was there was when I was a bridesmaid in a wedding and a few of us popped in for a quick cocktail pre-ceremony. Fast forward to last night where I went for a wine with two of my girlfriends. This is an indoor bar, and it is on the smaller side. There are a few tables on either side that fit 3 guests, and a bar that socially distant seats about 2. They have plexiglas at the bar to seperate the bartender from the guest. Bravo! As for the small tables - they are pretty far apart and thus made me feel super comfortable hanging out there. Each table has a bottle of hand sanitizer, and the staff wears masks the whole time. Jorge was our bartender and he was awesome. I opted for sancere, my friend got a delicious looking French Martini and my other girlfriend a sav blanc. We also got a charcuterie board. You can order 3 items from their meat/cheese menu for $20 or 5 for $25. Total no brainer to get 5 for $25. The boar salami and truffle cheese were my favorite. Will most definitely be back. Not related to The Cellar, but I am always so grateful that the Biltmore has so much parking and it's free! Not many luxury hotels in Miami can boast free parking, which is a total perk for visiting one of the many dining/drinking options within the Biltmore to grab a cocktail.
