Location review insights for Florida, United States, Restaurants

01/09/2026 The expectation surrounding a visit to this restaurant turned out to be somewhat frustrating, as several details prevented it from becoming what I would consider a truly great culinary experience. Food: The products are of good quality, but many dishes were overcooked. The ham croquettes fell far short of the standard one would expect, while the ceviche deserves special mention for its excellent balance of acidity. Service: Having the server come to the table every ten minutes to ask if everything is fine is not appropriate for a restaurant of this level. True professionalism means knowing how to read the table and provide attentive service without constant interruptions. Ambience: The décor is well executed, with an elegant yet understated entrance. A well-dressed clientele creates a welcoming atmosphere; however, the music volume is excessively loud and detracts from the overall experience. Conclusion: This restaurant does not make it onto my list of favorites for now, though I remain open to returning in the future. I believe they have the potential to offer a much better experience to their guests.

05/31/2026 Balan’s Brickell The Service & The Place: Right in the heart of Brickell in South Miami Avenue, Balan’s is a great place to feel that you belong, with its trendy crowd of young and adults people. Our sever, Maria was amazing. She was present. Friendly, attentive and accommodating. The Food: We ordered the “Balan’s Burger,” to share, since we were not that hungry. It was okay. We also ordered the “Spicy Rigatoni.” Too much sauce. Balan’s is great to spend time seeing and be seeing in the trendy Brickell neighborhood. “Eat deliciously"

10/10 Absolutely loved this place! The food was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the atmosphere was cozy yet elegant. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to.

1) Family owned and operated: That isn't just a catch phrase or something written in their marketing. Often, a family member will stop by to inquire about your meal. They're very hands on with their restaurant and why shouldn't they be? They're charging good money for a good steak... better ensure its good (and it is)! 2) Quality of the food: We'll get a bone-in-ribeye almost every time and they nail it 100% of the time. The other must have are the potatoes au gratin... (tip: they reheat almost just as well if you bake them vs. microwave). So why not a 5 star? Its in somewhat of an odd area, not the restaurants fault by any means... but you can't walk next store for a night cap or down the block of ice cream. In... and out. The real reason is we feel like the place could use some design upgrades. They do a fantastic job pulling off the vibe of a steak place as you either remember or imagine it decades ago. However, there is a fine line between run down and classic. If we could have given it 4.5 stars we would, because it deserves it on food and service alone. One other thought: the drinks are fantastic... however, they don't do much in the way of drink presentation. More like you would mix and serve at home. In reality, we believe its the best steak house in all of Orlando.

1. how they bring out the food?? we ate their famous chicken. okay. The rice came out last our orders did not come out at the same time the waitress warned us about it. The rice ended up being nothing more than a Rossotto. Waitress was nice. I am still trying to wonder what all the hype is about. The ambience was okay. We had most of the choice's folks recommended and I was like okay nothing special. Bottom line it is over hyped. Over priced maybe they are trying to attract a certain clientele but even if i was living large this would not be one of my go to restaurants, The Branzino fish what happened to the rest of it??? I had a burger at another location La tropiccana and that was absolutely wonderful All in all some of these high end restaurants are over hyped and the food is ehhhh!!! KYU is over rated. sit at the bar get the pork belly appetizer the chicken and be done with it.

1st time at Adriatico trattoria italiana and although off the beaten track it was great to go to a true Italian restaurant,food was authentic itailian ,great atmosphere and service was good.but parking can be a bit tricky,took about 45min drive from Kissimmee but still a great find if you feel a bit adventurous and want to eat away from the big chain restaurants.

Well worth the visit. Situated smack in middle of Brickell this place offers amazingly fresh seafood with heat service and beautiful surroundings. No complaints will return. Oysters were on point and eggs benedict with lobster was amazing. Great shrimp cocktail

Went with my boyfriend and we had a wonderful time! This is our third time at this location and we just keep coming back. Amazing happy hour options! Food is always fantastic- we did the Classic Alpine cheese fondue, the Coq a Vin broth with the Classic as an entree, each a caesar salad, and the Flaming Turtle for dessert. Every time we’ve had a new server and every time they leave us talking about them for the rest of the day. This time we had Gabe and he was so friendly and charismatic, we felt right at home and completely & wholly taken care of. We’re going to make this a monthly thing! Thanks, Gabe!
