I see that it has been over a year since the last review and wanted to say that the restaurant experience we had was outstanding. We arrived a bit early for our seating and were escorted to a very nice bar area where the service was great. The staff used our names all the time, the food was well presented and tasted very very good. The wine list is amazing, the courses were appropriately portioned althought they may look smaller since they are served on very large plates.
We left satisfied, but not stuffed which might be why some reviewers were not happy with the prices. The location and ambiance, the service and attentiveness and the overall special feel of the restaurant are the primary reasone to go. The fact that they put on a great meal is bonus. We thoroguhly enjoyed this restaurant.
Tip: go early and mid-week if you can. Traffic was not bad getting there and there were not many people until about an hour after we arrived. They open for dinner at 7:00 P.M. and we arrived about 15 minutes early for our reservation. The weather outside was too chilly for the balcony, but we really enjoyed overlooking the bay and seeing the skyline lit up.
Pros: Staff was right on the money bout being attentive but not intrusive. Perfect.
Cons: After the place filled up, it got kind of loud... but it's Miami :)

I love cafe sambal! I have been there multiple times, usually for lunch or dinner. The staff is always extremely friendly--particularly Drew, my favorite waiter. My friend and I always sit outside--usually on a really comfy couch that they have. The drinks are all wonderful. The lychee saketini is probably the best I have ever had. The wines are great. I had a really nice Malbec there, and when I returned I couldnt remember what type of wine I liked. To help me out, the waitress came with about 3 wines to let me sample until I found the one I had liked so much the previous time. The noodle chips they bring out with the most delicious wasabi mustard dipping sauce is TO DIE FOR!! I could eat just that alone. Then, I usually get edamame. For an entree, my friend and I usually share the pad thai. They always split the portion for us with no additional "sharing fee" that many places charge. The riceless sushi roll is also very good. For dessert, they have a delicious chocolate ball filled with chocolate mousse. I usually dont like mousse, but this is really delicious! The atmosphere is relaxed and scenic. Great for a date or to go with a friend to have great food, drinks, and conversation. I highly recommend it there!
Pros: Beautiful waterview, great service, great drinks!
Cons: Not cheap, have to valet, extremely quiet--almost dead at times

I was born and raised in the area. I was home recently after about 4 years and stopped in for some Thumb Bits. My favorite. While Miami seems to be losing a lot of it's character (I found out that Old Cutler Inn was gone on my last visit), it's great to be able to go somewhere that still makes Miami feel like home.

This place is my lucky charm. I'm in Real Estate and I closed three deals this month there. What a welcoming environment. My clients love it and the food. Can?t say enough about their fun way of creating Mojitos. It?s like being in the world?s biggest Florida Room!!!!!
I'll be there at least twice a week, lunch or dinner, doesn?t matter. It is the perfect place to close a deal what ever industry you are in.
Pros: Run, don't walk!!!
Cons: None, they even provide computers!!!!!

Jungle Island is awesome!!! I was able to touch just about every animal. Two animals I probably will never forget were twin orangutan Peanut and Pumpkin. They were so adorable…but enough about Peanut and Pumpkin. I loved each and every show, Winged Wonders, Tale of the Tiger, and the Gator X-treme. The staff was nice and a attentive. I wouldn’t mind paying 29.95 again.

First of all, the Mayfair combines a strong sense of style with its gourmet Asian fusion restaurant Ginger Grove and the Jurlique Spa under one roof. Make sure you soak up the atmosphere in the bar and outdoor atrium. Beautiful brand new rooms and marble bathrooms. Hot tub on every balcony. The staff was courteous and our meals were creative and exceptional. My husband and I are coming back. Perfect for a romantic getaway. We booked online and had a wonderful stay.
Pros: Valet parking, great restaurant on property, located next to Cocowalk in the Grove
Cons: No problems at all
