    Mustard Green Lasagna
    Carmen F.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A fantastic start to my Miami trip! The food was great, and the restaurant's ambiance was beautiful. I especially loved the matches and stickers displayed at the entrance. The highlight was definitely the whipped cheese dish with bread. I would go back just for it. The pizzas were delicious. I forgot to take photos of the entrées, but I enjoyed the steak and potato gnocchi. The salad was quite large, but not my favorite. The oysters were average. Overall, I truly enjoyed everything.

    Walrus Rodeo is located in a small plaza just north of the Design District. Reservations are a must! We were only able to get bar seating with a few days' notice, and the restaurant was packed. The burrata was absolutely delicious, but the real standout was the bread it came with, easily some of the best bread I ever had. I was disappointed with the Truffle Pizza. The cheese overpowered the truffle flavor, and I hadn't noticed it came with sausage, which further masked the truffle taste. The real star of the night was the lamb lasagna--soft, tender, and packed with incredible flavor. Easily my favorite dish on the menu. All in all the service was great, all the servers were attentive and checked up on us regularly, even though we were seated at the bar. I will be back !

    12/10 experience!…read more So the entrance is lavish. Parking is scarce but we were able to find parking close by. We were greeted by the hosts and it was bustling in there! We got sat right away (make that reservation to save the headache) and since we were used to the LA and Vegas location so I was ready to order. We started with the focaccia and got the mortadella bread as well. Got some meatballs which are better than the traditional ground beef kind as the meats shredded! Then the 2 diavolo's came and we should've gotten a different second pizza but now we know for next time! AND THEN the cacio and rigatocini came out which we also very much enjoyed. The music and ambiance is a little loud so it's hard to hear and it's a little dark to read the menu but I absolutely love it here and would do it all over again. Thanks for having us!

It's a really nice space and I'd come here just to grab drinks if you're looking for a classy spot. We ended up being seated at a high top, which is just the tables at the bar area. Next time I'd do a better job asking for a seat at the dining room or even overlooking the kitchen in order to watch the chefs in action. Lara was our server who was a rockstar. She knew the menu and was able to make good recommendations. We started with a Margherita pizza was thin and had a crisp, came out quick and was delicious. Good to split between two instead of bread service. Our mains were the Cacio y Pepe which was fresh and had a peppery flavor. Not bad but not my favorite. Rigatoni ragu was delicious and was my fav. I'd order this again. All the pasta is freshly made in house. Finally, we ordered a Banana bread dessert which was good for two and not too sweet. It was served with a scoop of banana flavored ice cream. I'd come here again as in my opinion it's much better than some of the overhyped Italian restaurants that you see on the gram in Miami. Make sure you make a reservation on Resy.

We got lucky and the hostess actually seated us almost right away. The staff is amazing and friendly. Usually on big holidays restaurants in Miami are short staffed and service always suffers. Osteria's energy was warm and beyond welcoming. We ordered the calamari again and it was wonderfully crispy. For our Entrees we had the steak with a side of asparagus and pappardelle ossobuco. Steak was perfectly seasoned. The veal pasta sauce was out of this world. Honestly I think stopping by Osteria might be our Christmas Eve tradition from now on. I couldn't have had a better Christmas Eve with my family.

    An opulent failed attempt at fine dining…read more At first glance, the place is impressive -- beautiful cars outside, constant traffic of guests walking in, crisp white tablecloths setting the stage for what appears to be a refined dining experience. Unfortunately, the illusion fades rather quickly. The first sign of trouble arrives with the server sporting a rather impressive lip piercing, followed closely by a colleague whose diamond nose stud could probably be seen from space. Not exactly the ambiance one expects when aiming for "elegant." Despite the abundance of servers floating around the dining room, none seem to notice when your knife dramatically dives off the table and lands on the floor -- where it enjoys a long, lonely stay. Water service is also quite innovative: they simply leave the entire bottle at the table, which seems less about generosity and more about avoiding the inconvenience of returning to refill your glass. The food? Sadly just as uninspired. From the octopus to the $68 Milanese, every dish managed the impressive feat of being completely flavorless. The Milanese arrived with a beautiful crust, which raised hopes... until you realized there was no sauce, no garnish, and nothing to rescue what turned out to be a remarkably bland plate. Meanwhile, the staff appears deeply committed to minimizing effort -- though not shy about judging you directly when the tip doesn't meet their expectations. All in all, this place feels like fine dining in costume. Perhaps a return to the basics of hospitality and service would be a good start... followed by a serious conversation with whoever is currently in the kitchen. Good luck to anyone brave enough to give it a try.
