[ Google Review ] Attention to detail. That's the best way to describe this place. Everything from the fresh grown basil in the back, to every layer of each dish being seasoned, this intimate restaurant is a must go for vegans and non-vegans alike. Although there aren't many gluten-free options, it offers a wide variety of the pizza and pasta options. Love and intentionality is given with every dish. 10/10 would recommend. Parking in the rear of the building.

[ Google Review ] Calle Ocho is a beautiful and colorful street. You can see the Cuban history through their murals and street arts. It is a walkable and place to go eat delicious Caribbean Cuisine foods. The people are very friendly and welcoming. We felt very secure, we even saw people exercising and walking during the night. It was an enjoyable experience and has a lot of nice spots for pictures.

[ Google Review ] Fantastic space with views of the bay. Wide variety of trucks when I went. Every single one of them had vegetarian options. It’s a short walk from Brickell and the metromover. I definitely recommend coming here for lunch or dinner. The Haitian truck was especially tasty

[ Google Review ] I attended this location as part of a film festival this week. The location was in fantastic walking distance from my hotel which I loved. And the traffic into each event was pretty seamless and comfortable and they were multiple locations to exit which made coming in and out great.

Day pass for pool and beach access; food service closes at 3 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday. [ Google Review ] The staff were amazing. Going out of their way to make sure our stay was a memorable one. I would like to mention especially Antony the food an beverage manager who personally spoke to us every time he saw us and took the time to ask about our trip. When he found out we were on honeymoon (as we waited in the bar for our room to be ready after check in) he had a bottle of champagne and two delicious chocolate desserts waiting in our room with a hand written note. This is the kind of treatment that makes a special stay spectacular. The concierge was also excellent and was able to give us great information about what to do where to go and how to get there. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. Have a wonderful stay and tell your friends. PS ask about the history of the building. It was recently renamed in honour of a great man who may be the key reason south beach has maintained its 30’s aesthetic. For more info have a look at the coffee table books in the air conditioned lobby and read the plaque beside the reception desk. Thanks again Tony Hotel we will see you again.

[ Google Review ] Great outdoor seating for people watching. Great vibe. Was drawn in by happy hour 2 for 1 beers. Ordered 2 draft IPAs. Was flabbergasted when I got the bill for $24 for my buy-one-get-one beer. $16 for a pint, 20% added to it plus tax. Without the “deal” it would’ve been over $40 for 2 beers!!! The pizza was good, the fried cheese sticks fine. But I won’t be buying beer here again!

download free app for self-guided walking tour. Look for the Carlisle Hotel (Bird Cage) and Versace Mansion. [ Google Review] Okay, nice enough but not what we expected. They do give you a map of all the Art Deco buildings in the area but if you found your way here the rest isn’t difficult to figure out. The “museum” is a racing museum, if that’s what you're coming for then great! The Art Deco portion is small and not much - a couple of poster displays. Clean bathrooms and air conditioning make it a nice pit stop. Gift shop has fun vintage pieces and some new things, pricey. Outside is a great photo op at the clock wall.

[ Google Review ] We came here for a happy hour after doing a boat party in Miami and had a great time! They have pitchers of cocktails for only $75 which serve up to 6 people (which was an absolute steal) and their French fries with harissa ketchup were AMAZING. It was also super cute all around. I would definitely come back here again!

[ Google Review ] We enjoyed a quick trip to Key Biscayne from our hotel in South Beach. The drive was approx 30 minutes. Beautiful view of south beach from! It was super windy the day we went, so not much time for the beach but next time we come we will rent kayaks and get in the water.

[ Google Review ] Very nice public parks with great plants, can be improved if added some chairs for rest. It is also key station for Bigbus touring.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Great experience! I spent some time in here, and I feel all creation are phenomenal. We’re glad that I was here to see them myself. PS: If you are a student, the price is $5. I forgot bringing my student ID, but the lady was very nice. She asked me if I have some email messages to show her I’m a student then it is totally fine. Recommend people come here, especially a tourist like me.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] I would have rated it higher for its potential but timing is everything. The 3 story exhibit was more than 50% closed to the public because they were in the process of creating a new exhibit so there was not much to see and one could spending less than an hour to see what was available. Upside, it is free. Masks required. Not crowded. Call first to avoid disappointment. It has a small gift area. New exhibit opens mid May 2022. The art I saw was somewhat interesting. Museum parking lot right across the street. That building was art in itself. Worth checking out and has reasonable rates.

[ Google Review ] Very nice park. Various beautiful spots to take nice pictures at with the family. We found parking on the street quickly, we went for a quick stroll and took many beautiful family pictures. We did not stop at the playground but it was shaded and accesible. The park has many benches in the shade for guests to rest at. There were homeless people but they were not bothering anyone. So just go & enjoy 😊

[ Google Review ] This is a super cute bookstore with a really well-curated selection of books. The best part though is their cafe/garden bar where you can grab a drink and study/read, especially if it's a nice afternoon or evening. Super relaxing and chill vibes!
