My favorite thing about Bahama Breeze is the service. We visit the restaurant frequently and one of the main reasons why is a service we get from our regular waitress, Maggie. She remembers our orders and makes great suggestions for alcohol and food. She’s a keeper. Good work in your hiring Bahama breeze… And the food is pretty good too.

We love Baires Grill and this would have been a 5 star review had the baked potato been cooked. Staff took too long to resolve the issue. Apart from that the rest of the food was excellent. We will be returning during our time here.

About the restaurant

Ever since the Magic City saw the Orange Bowl crumble in 2008, Miami sports fans were left with a void that most thought would never be filled – Until now. Enter Black Market, a Miami sports bar that calls upon the nostalgia of eighties Miami, a time where the Hurricanes reigned supreme in the college football landscape, when Dan Marino would become the face of Miami sports, and the rest of the country looked at our oasis as a ‘Paradise Lost.’ Cash was king in a lawless city during a time where OUR Miami began to take shape. Black Market Miami is a place that invites you to take pride in our city’s past, both the good and the bad, because it is this rich history that made us who we are today.

About the restaurant

There’s a popular saying in Peru, “Entre Pisco Y Nazca.” It translates to having fun in a social environment encompassing exceptional cocktails. We couldn’t think of a better way to describe our Gastrobar.

The vision behind our newest ceviche gastrobar is one of a lively place serving bold-flavored dishes, unique cocktails and a vast selection of national and international beers. Inspired by top restaurants in Peru and designed by Celano Design Studio, Pisco y Nazca’s atmosphere is casual, trendy and fun with a touch of subtle sophistication. At the helm is Chef Richard Bernaola, whose experience and passion for Peruvian cuisine together with an extensive amalgam of ingredients and recipes from various influences brings an exceptional diversity of dishes to the Pisco y Nazca table.

Some of these reviews are asinine. You visit a restaurant and eat out in 90 degree heat, then complain about the noise of the fans, which are there to make people more comfortable? Food was very good, as expected. Conch Fritters and Seafood Diavolo were excellent. Ambience was beautiful - a nice mild night with a nice breeze coming in off the water. Service was superb. We had just arrived in Key West after a 1,600 mile, 8-day drive from Michigan with previous stops in Lexington, KY for 1 day, Atlanta for 3 days, and Orlando for 3 days. Our server, Diane, was also originally from Michigan not too far from where we live. She was very prompt, and very friendly, recommending some of favorite things to do and places to visit. For the record, my wife and I have a combined 60+ yrs in the foodservice industry - front of house and back of house, and we can both attest that being in the weeds is definitely NOT a "frame of mind". We are here for 9 more days, so we will definitely return and will definitely request her as our server again.

Sugarcane is a very good casual option in Midtown Miami for the diner looking for excellent service, excellent food in a casual atmosphere with a very interesting and varied menu. The food and beverage options were well done and well presented. Our server, Brian and the food runners and bussers, provided excellent attentive service. The food is tapas style, so be prepared for that.

Great experience eating at Tap 42 before a movie. Seating was very comfortable and our server was fantastic! She made a special trip back to the kitchen to get an answer to a question about gluten free which was very helpful. All four of us got something completely different (chicken and waffles, drunken burger, entree salad, and mahi mahi, and all were delicious. Highly recommend!
