So, I finally went for dinner at 1 Bleu! The restaurant and hotel are absolutely beautiful!! I can?t believe Mimaicuisine?s review, we must have gone to different restaurants? My experience and that of my friends was great and the chef has been serving locals great food for years at some of Miami?s top restaurants, La Broche, Norman?s, Mandarin Oriental, etc? Don?t be misled, this is a great place!
Anyway, my partner and I went with friends, for dinner at 1 Bleu. As soon as we sat our server brought us a science experiment looking shot. We asked what it was and the server responded, "it's a welcome cocktail, white rum and lime mint foam". WOW what a great idea, it was amazing!! We quickly asked for another round. Then the server brought us 4 spoons each with a small crispy square and said "this is the amuse bouche, compliments of the chef. It's a liquid croquette of jamon Serrano and manchego cheese". This was a great way to start the meal, we had mini mojitos and a burst of Serrano and manchego cheese and hadn?t even really begun dining yet. Everything we had after that was equally delectable. For starters we had the tuna carpaccio, mixed green salad with berries and feta, and the ceviche duet. Our favorite was the carpaccio, it was simply prepared, served with a vinaigrette which I can?t remember (must be the mojitos) and a truffled potato chip. For entrees we had the prime beef tenderloin, lamb, seafood mixta and lobster risotto with garlic ice cream! We loved them all! For dessert we had the cheese plate and introduction to chocolate, absolutely decadent! If you want fresh, organic and local ingredients, then you shouldn?t mind paying the extra bucks. I?ve gone to other restaurants in the area that charge the same or more and serve up the same typical mundane foods. This restaurant is a bit pricy, but well worth it! We can?t wait to go back! Hopefully they?ll do something for Miami Spice too!
Pros: Ambience, food, wine and service
Cons: None, love this place!

Wow South Beach! Vegas on the water! I work with a major production/promotions company based out of L.A, so totally clueless where to go in South Beach, wanting something else besides Lincoln Road that we had everyday getting out of the convention. I came on here to find somewhere we could have our company dinner, and saw the revues for 510 Ocean. We booked a party last minute ( 2 days in advance) my bad!! They found space for us, got us a prefixed menu that was amazing, and set up a extra bar just for our party outside. We were asking after dinner where the cool clubs were that we could get into and realized we were at one, this place attracts so many good looking models and locals, I did'nt think that I was in cheesy miami anymore! With live music and a d.j, we stayed till 5am not 2 like boring Cali! I heard that Miami had bad food and service, but this little hidden secret is the only exception, see ya next year 510 Ocean!
Pros: Friendly crowd in South Beach
Cons: Small but exclusive

This is my second visit. I really want to like this place but the basics are lacking. Took 35 minutes to receive food and it was barely warm. I hate that. The 6oz burger is way better than 8oz cause it has better quality toppings. My first visit the fries dripping in oil. This time I asked waitress for most popular side, she answered the potato skins. Awful: small portion, dry, no flavor. I am pleased the restaurant now takes credit cards.
Pros: atmosphere, beer selection, free parking, toasted bun.
Cons: expensive for a burger joint, food takes too long.

My wife and I were here last night and we were blown away. The service was terrific - Ricardo was very helpful with out special requests. My wife has a gluten intolerance and he checked with the chef on a number of items. He suggested a terrific white wine at a reasonable cost. The manager was also very friendly and asked how everything was going. The food was delicious. We had the scallops and chipotle shrimp to start and the redfish and mahi for dinner. All were done to perfection. Even the band was great! Highly recommended.
Pros: Great value, seafood prepared perfectly
Cons: none

After we finished a fabulous dinner and dancing experience at Tantra, we all walked around the corner on our way to Suite (which was closed by the way). We stumbled across a little French cafe that was oh so bohemian. I suddenly felt like I was walking along the left bank of Paris. The customers here were a combination of all types; locals, artists, poets, unpretentious types who looked like they just rolled out of bed, clubbers dressed to impress, etc. We stopped and had more coffee and some great dessert crepes. Our french waitress told us that this place is open for breakfast lunch and dinner. I made a mental note to return to try the food. Great outdoor ambiance on Espanola Way.
