Bread, Anchovy and Butter
Yvonne M.

What an experience! I pretty much loved all the dishes, that bread with butter & anchovies is a must try. The salads were all refreshing, also the entree pork is a must!! And entree hanger steak with potato pave. Staff were amazing, very attentive and friendly. Vibe for me was fun, quirky and it was open kitchen. Definitely make reservations!

Truffle za
Katie L.

Tasty, unassuming, and a fun atmosphere. This is my friend's favorite place so had to check it out when I came to visit. You share everything and they cook everything in their brick oven. Split between 3 people, and here's where I'll say you should try vs pass. -bottle of wine (get) -il capo (friend's favorite drink, it's a take on a Negroni, get) -oysters (pass) -cauliflower (get) -rodeo za (get - by its sheer uniqueness) -truffle za (pass) -cabbage (get) -pb&j dessert (pass) Favorite bites were the pickled cauliflower and the sauce the cabbage came in. Those were two memorable bites - the rest were just ok! 4 stars instead of 5 because they charged us for tap water (filtered), which seems pretty stingy.

Mustard Green Lasagna

I had a great experience at Walrus Rodeo. We tried the mustard green lasagna and it was delicious. The Rona Za pizza was just as good, with great crust and a good combo of flavors. Looking forward to coming back to try more of their pizzas!

This hip loosely Italian eatery sits in the shadow of sister restaurant Boia De in both location and unfortunately in quality. The restaurant is casual and funky in both the decor and the service. Our waitress and other staff were very friendly and borderline goofy in a way that felt purposeful. The tables are spaced decently far apart but it's pretty loud inside. Like Boia De, there is no liquor license but I think that is actually a bigger detriment at Walrus Rodeo as the menu made me crave a cocktail rather than wine. The menu is divided into pizza, dishes that come with a bread made in the pizza oven, appetizers, and entrees. The best dish by far was the beef carpaccio which was a triumph of texture and well balanced in seasoning as well. The baked oysters were only OK. The bone marrow was under rendered and the flavor was lost in the garnish. The peach burrata was pretty good. The lasagna is the specialty here but I was disappointed. Between the smoked lamb, pungent Parmesan, and the pesto there were just too many funky elements. Overall 3* is maybe a bit harsh but I was underwhelmed.

Bone Marrow
Katie F.

The food at Walrus Rodeo is fantastic, but the service is what really makes the experience! Our server was so fun and kind and gave great recommendations on what to get for our group of 4. I would go back just for her honestly! All of the food is delicious and you can really tell it has been made with love. Highly recommend the Bone Marrow and Marty McFly dishes. The space is fairly small so be sure to make a reservation. Cannot wait to come back!

Hanger Steak
Allison O.

One of my favorite spots in Miami! The decor is high-end cowboy saloon, fitting for dishes like the Rodeo Za which is a pizza with anchovies, spicy tomatoes, and brown butter that was hands-down my favorite item here. Everything comes out of a huge oven in the corner of the room. The Dew'd cocktail was sweet and refined, the hanger steak delicious with a crispy potato pave that was fun to eat. My brother thought the bone marrow with smoked shallow Soubise was the best he ever tried, though I'm not a bone marrow person. I also decided I am definitely not a chicory person - otherwise the green goddess dressing for the chicory salad was delicious. There are a lot of unique combinations to try here and I'd definitely take someone here again.

oysters
Mariam T.

Excellent place for a nice dinner. Staff is amazing, ambiance is great, and food is very intriguing!! We tried a bunch of dishes and the leek pizza and hamachi were the best by far. Cannot wait to see what they introduce on their ever rotating menu.

charred cabbage
Kristina K.

Such a fun change from the typical Miami restaurant scene. Every dish felt unique and delicious in its own way, the Rodeo 'Za especially stood out (highly recommend!). The service was super friendly and welcoming, and the vibe hit that perfect balance of stylish but casual. You can tell the team really cares about what they do. Definitely one of those places you'll want to come back to again and again.

Cocktails
Natalie H.

Honestly when I don't remember to take photos you know the food had be mesmerizing. As far as I know their menu tends to change around a bit I'm sure it's for seasonality of ingredients and to showcase a variety of unique creations by the chef. They do always have a gourmet pizza selection tho! Their cocktails are made from lots of homemade cordials and other ingredients. 10/10 you definitely need to try this place at least once if you're a local. When I took this photo with the drinks I had this crispy pork belly dish that was a take on like a Cuban Mojo lechón but with slices of crispy pork belly, when I returned, maybe a year after it wasn't on the menu. I still dream about it

An Absolute Gem in Miami! Walrus Rodeo is one of those rare spots that feels both fresh and refined at the same time. From the moment you walk in, the energy is buzzing -- warm, inviting, and a little edgy in the best way. The space has a stylish yet laid-back Miami vibe, perfect for a night out with friends or an elevated date night. The food? Outstanding. Every dish shows creativity and balance -- bold flavors with thoughtful technique. The wood-fired pizzas are a standout (crispy, smoky, and layered with unique toppings you won't find anywhere else), but honestly, everything on the menu is worth exploring. Portions are generous without losing finesse, and the plating is beautiful. Cocktails are just as impressive. Each one feels carefully crafted, not just thrown together. Whether you're into something refreshing or spirit-forward, the bar program hits the mark. Service was attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly. The team knows the menu inside out and makes great recommendations without being pushy. Miami has plenty of restaurants, but Walrus Rodeo feels like the kind of place that sets a new standard -- creative, consistent, and memorable. Already can't wait to go back.

Lasagna
Rachel H.

Best restaurant in Miami, place I recommend to everyone and won't shut up about. The best service and best food in town, though I have not tried their sister restaurant yet - Boia De. My server was excellent and remembered me when I came back a month later. Restaurant is trendy, yet inviting. Food is unique and outstanding, highly recommend everything we tried - the bone marrow, oysters, rodeo za, lasagna, and cannoli dessert. The lasagna is truly something special, like nothing I have had before. Pizza is also great, we enjoyed the rodeo Za - brown butter, anchovies, and bread crumbs.

Myrna R.

Another WOW moment! All of the flavors were explosive and different. Ambiance was modern, classy, creative, sexy, comfortable and not stuffy! Service was excellent. I could've taken more pics but I was too excited about the food. Not shown - but we also had the oysters and the green lasagna... WOW. Portions are meant to share but truly they feel like they are enough for 1 person. Portions can be a tad bit larger if they're meant to be shared family style. Regardless they were excellent and I can't wait to come back for more! There's plenty more to try from their exquisite menu.

Tuna carpaccio
Madison G.

Had a great experience here last night! Service was wonderful, I love how they really explain every portion of the plate as they set it in the table. Water was always filled, place was packed, wine was great, and my napkin was always folded on my seat when I returned from the restroom. What we ordered- - Tuna carpaccio - fresh, cold, tasty. Loved the capers and the sauce. - Bone marrow - omg, so good. We all loved it. So buttery, and the dough feels like a pillow. - PSL Za - I loved this! Super unique tasting, very creative. Loved the pumpkin with the cheese, and the lamb was great. - Lamb Mustard Lasagna - Wow! Super rich, super cheesy, super mustardy (but not in a bad way.) Loved it. - Hamachi Collar - Wow! This fish was cooked perfectly. The crispy pieces were delicious and the sauce was to die for. - Roasted oysters - Very good! Could use salt. Would definitely come back here! Love that the menu changes seasonally.

This is not just a regular review for me because before Pane e Vino took residence here, this use…read moreto be a bakery that I visited very often. It holds so much nostalgia for me. It was a bakery for many, many years, even after I left Miami Beach, when I'd come visit, I made sure to get a pastelito de carne with an orange juice and then one day; the bakery was gone and Pane e Vino was here in its place. As illogical as it may be, I held resentment towards Pane e Vino because of this. I'd grumble and scowl when I'd walk by until one day I saw a man making fresh pasta at the window. Yes, this piqued my interest. I then looked at the menu, and I saw a lot of wonderful variety, but mostly that their pasta is made fresh so it occurred to me that in this instance perhaps one legendary establishment can become another one in this place, and I decided I needed to give this restaurant a chance. I have some friends who join me often when I go to Miami Beach and so we ordered a bunch of dishes to share. I'm really glad we had our waitress Pilar steer us in the right direction. I love truffle anything and she highly recommended the truffle arancini. I'm soooo glad we got it, and that was probably one of my favorite things to eat ever. I have never had such creamy polenta in my life. the truffle and cheese in this was enough to almost bring me to tears. This is how great food is done. Even the salad and the simple dressing was amazing, really fresh and delicious. We tried three different pasta dishes, but my favorite without a doubt was the lamb ragu. This dish was everything. The lamb was so tender and flavorful. You know that lamb will sometimes have a gamey flavor? Not this dish. My second favorite pasta dish was the truffle ravioli. It's not like a truffle infused oil or salt they used, its actual shaved truffle, so delicious. The bread, the good quality olive oil, everything was fantastic. Even though my beloved bakery belongs to the past; in its place is now another magnificent establishment that I will look forward to visiting whenever I'm in Miami Beach.

They had amazing team work to provide the perfect high class dinning for guest. I never had to think about water being refilled, wine glass being refilled, or crumbs on the table. They checked in with us just enough. Price: If you have drinks, apps, entree, and dessert expect to spend around $300 or more. Portions: Not the largest portions for "family size" but if it's just two it may be filling enough because they give you bread, cheese, cured meats, and pickled cauliflower for the appetizers.

I had high expectations for Carbone, especially given its reputation, but unfortunately, my…read moreexperience left me feeling disappointed. THE FOOD The food itself wasn't the problem- the value was. Charging nearly $200 for a 2.5-pound lobster and serving what appeared to be no more than 10 ounces of meat is unacceptable. I've ordered lobster countless times, and this was nowhere close to what should come from a lobster of that size. It honestly felt like a bait-and-switch. At Carbone's prices and reputation, I expected transparency and quality, not to leave wondering if I had just paid hundreds of dollars for an empty shell. It completely overshadowed the rest of the meal and left a terrible impression. THE SERVICE Our wait staff was excellent- friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. When I raised my concern about the lobster, however, there wasn't a meaningful solution offered. The manager did bring out complimentary meatballs and two slices of cake, which was appreciated, but it didn't address the actual issue. I requested the veal entrée (about $125) as a gesture of goodwill, but that request was denied. I left feeling that my concerns were acknowledged but not truly resolved. THE VIBE The ambiance is everything you'd expect from Carbone- stylish, energetic, and full of old-school charm. It's a beautiful restaurant with a lively atmosphere, making it a great place for a special occasion. Ultimately, the atmosphere and attentive wait staff weren't enough to make up for what felt like poor value and an unsatisfactory resolution to a legitimate concern. At this level of dining, guests should leave feeling impressed--not questioning whether they received what they paid for. Our total bill was close to $1000. UNACCEPTABLE.

Instead of enjoying the meal, I felt cramped and uncomfortable the entire time. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was genuinely disappointing. Charging premium prices while serving such small portions is embarrassing. I would not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning. Shame on them!!!! Please don't go.
