Food review insights for Florida, United States, Bars

-Took out-of-town friends for drinks and the mojitos were THE WORST I HAVE EVER HAD. They tasted like diluted rum in minty water .... I told the bartender that if they couldn't make a good one that I prefer to order a "house" cocktail and he insisted he made "the best" - I never said anything and paid and tipped additional to the included 20% - By chance I ran into a bartender and I told him my experience and this was his response: 1.) IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE I DIDN'T GO TO A CUBAN BARTENDER (he said that verbatim .... so as a patron, I need to inquire about the ethnicity of the bartender ... depending on the drink) 2.) I SHOULD HAVE ORDERED ONE OF THEIR SPECIALTY DRINKS BECAUSE THEY DON'T SPECIALIZE IN MOJITOS (in Miami at a FULL BAR !!! they don't know how to make a basic drink ?!?!). The worst part is: I DID ASK if it was better to get a house cocktail and he insisted he made "the best mojitos" 3.) THAT I HAD NO IDEA WHAT GOES ON BEHIND THE HOUSE AND THEY GIVE THE BEST EXPERIENCE AND HAVE THE BEST TRAINING AND HAVE AN IN-HOUSE MIXOLOGIST (which doesn't reflect) ****NOTE: BY THIS POINT HE HAD BECOME AGGRESSIVE WITH MENACING DEMEANOR **** ..... AND SAID I WAS INSULTING HIM AND HIS CREW AND HE HAD WORKED IN MANGO'S (an old inconsequential bar in Miami Beach) AND HE KEPT SAYING I WAS INSULTING HIM (although I never used aggression or profanity) .... if his attitude is a reflection of their training then THEY HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO !!!! IF YOU LIKE BAD AGGRESSIVE ATTITUDE (BORDERING ON VIOLENT), BAD DRINKS WITH A SIDE OF AGGRESSION,THIS IS THE PLACE !!!!!!! .... and good luck getting someone's attention just for information about getting a table. far from being thankful that someone politely brought a problem to their attention, the employees of this place will act VERY SELF-ENTITLED AND AGAIN, BORDERING ON THE VIOLENT ..... VERY MIAMI This is a place for an expensive instagram moment and THAT'S IT ! If you want a quality rooftop experience ... LEVEL 6 in Coconut Grove is much much better and the drinks truly feel "Crafted" .... or ASTRA in Wynwood .... or WATR at THE ONE HOTEL (their nikkei menu is SOOOO GOOD). Even CITADEL in Little River offers a more unique and fun rooftop experience.

1st & 2nd visit: Authentic, felt like I stepped off the Miami sidewalk and into an Irish pub/eatery. The full Irish breakfast was a full days worth of food in one meal. Liam the bartender, was a worldly man and full of good conversation. 3rd & 4th visit: Diffrent bartender and the guys service sucked. Today is Easter Sunday. It my 4th visit, I came straight here post Mass. The bartender was on his phone while I sat at a dirty bar and waited to order.. He brought me my tea after telling me he had no cream, I said that's fine I'll take sugar. I had to flag him down for the sugar, while the tea over steeped . This is the same guy that on my third visit argued with me about tea not coming with the breakfast (it clearly says it on the menu) he literally belittled me in front of the whole bar, so on that visit I left and went next door for brunch. So within good time I hear the kitchen bell ring 3 times before he gets up and goes for the pick up. It was my food and the bar is still dirty so I slide down to a cleaner part of the bar. He drops the food off and gets back on his phone. I’ve got a full Irish breakfast in front of me and it looks incredible! I start off with the beans and toast as I wait for the condiments to arrive. I finished them and the guy still hasn’t brought anything. By the time I flag him down and get the salt, pepper, ketchup and brown sauce, my food is cold. However it is so good, it’s only a minor inconvenience. Finally I’m ready to pay and I look down the bar to get his attention and he’s literally picking his nose! I get the bill and it’s higher than I was expecting, he had hit me with an 18% auto gratuity!!!! Are you kidding??? How is this ok? No wonder the service is piss poor, homeboy is gonna get top dollar regardless of his performance. Nah, I paid cash and left my personal minimum tip of 8%. I was going to tell him how disappointing his service was and that his auto gratuity was unacceptable but as I left, he had his back to me and the door; he was watching the basketball game instead of looking after the customers and restaurant.

3 out of the 6 people in my group got food poisoning almost immediately after dining here and the gag is we ALL got completely different dishes. also the waiter took his sweet time throughout the whole night knowing he was getting the 20% gratuity regardless. you would think that being at such an upscale restaurant you would get food that doesn’t make you sick for hours and good service as well

"I was expecting an authentic and delicious Cuban sandwich, but unfortunately, this one didn't live up to my expectations. The suckling pig, which is the star of this dish, was dry and tough, which ruined the dining experience. The texture of the suckling pig should be tender and juicy, but in this case, it was overcooked and lacked flavor. The other ingredients, such as ham, cheese, and vegetables, were good, but couldn't make up for the lack of quality of the suckling pig. I hope the chef or cook can revise their recipe and technique to improve the quality of the suckling pig and offer a Cuban sandwich that tastes authentic." Other options: - "The suckling pig was so dry it seemed like it had been cooked twice. A shame, because the rest of the sandwich was good." - "I would like to try it again, but they would need to improve the quality of the suckling pig. A Cuban sandwich without a good suckling pig is like a car without gas." - "I was expecting a strong flavor and a soft texture, but the suckling pig was dry and tough. It was a disappointment, but I hope they can improve in the future."

...because unless you have aguesia, or perhaps if you're a moron, choosing and liking a restaurant because it is decorated with license plates and beer cans is a pretty foolish call. This place is so-decorated. The food (our party had fish'n'chips, a Blue Burger, and salmon, amongst us) is uniformly uninspired, and nearly tasteless. The portions are mediocre. The beer is...please pay attention, I'm commenting on the BEER in a TAVERN here...crummy. It reeked of old pennies from a piggy bank. The service is 'lacking' (and so too should be the gratuity). And to top off an otherwise lousy experience, the menu is not inexpensive. And they only take cash, which in today's world should basically be reserved for schemes for tax evasion or money laundering. It's a neighborhood joint, and I should be going there often, but I don't. I would favorably comment that the parking is free, but since it is a neighborhood joint most of the patrons walk so they don't get trapped in a DUI situation.

160$ for 3 people, Service is terrible and not to mention you have to pay gratuity so they do not bother being good costumer service. If i could tip 0$ i absolutely would. Seafood boil was bland serving size is TREMENDOUSLY different from the cover of the meal. Overall dissatisfaction.

I recently visited this restaurant and was a bit disappointed. The food was just okay, nothing special. The mojito was honestly terrible—the worst I’ve ever had. On the positive side, the music was good. Overall, I’d give it a 2 out of 5, especially since my friends’ meals weren’t great either. I recently visited this restaurant and was a bit disappointed.

The atmosphere here was friendly and lively, Our waitress was brilliant and I can not fault her, We never had an empty glass, the food was very quick to come out, however, for personal preference I didn’t enjoy it, the chicken was very chewy and hard, the mac & cheese lacked flavour but the fries were incredible, I also absolutely did not like the fact we were given sharp knives for the kids meal, I didn’t think that was appropriate, There were a few mess ups, we received food that wasn’t ours, charged for drinks we didn’t order, but it was all rectified and we made sure to leave a tip, To my personal taste I wouldn’t return, but I’m glad to have experienced it
