Smith Wollensky - Miami Beach

This restaurant was truly disappointing. We received a bread basket but didn't have any plates to use. I ordered a rare prime rib, but instead, I was served a cold piece of meat from the fridge with some gravy on top. This meat was completely uncooked, and there's a big difference between rare and not cooked at all. They did take it off the bill, but it didn’t matter much since I had to go somewhere else to find something to eat.

I had higher expectations for this restaurant. We waited an hour past our reservation time to be seated, and it felt like I was obligated to tip the host. The waiter was unprofessional and rude, and the food was mediocre at best. I wouldn't consider returning.

I recently visited this restaurant with friends during Miami Spice Restaurant Month, where they offered a special lunch menu for $20.06 with several choices. I opted for the filet and decided to upgrade to the Filet Oscar, which includes crab meat and asparagus. I also ordered a side of creamed spinach, which, although not included, was generous enough to serve at least two people. The food was outstanding, and the service was flawless. The portions were fulfilling and satisfying. Miami Spice Month allows us regular folks to dine at places we might not usually afford, but this restaurant is certainly worth saving up for. It's located right by the water, featuring plenty of glass windows for beautiful views. Overall, it was a delightful experience.

The restaurant is located at the southern end of the beach. Although it has a spacious interior, we chose to dine outdoors by the water. We had a reservation but still had to wait about 15 minutes, which wasn't too much of a hassle. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive. We ordered several appetizers and drinks, and everything was delicious. The views were even more spectacular, especially when a cruise ship passed by, adding to the overall experience!

The day before yesterday, we celebrated our wedding at this restaurant. We enjoyed a fantastic lunch with close friends. The restaurant offers a stunning view of the water, along with excellent food and service. I particularly appreciated the elegant decor. It was a very significant day for us, and I was delighted to celebrate it in such a lovely setting. My husband and I left with beautiful memories of both the day and the location. It was truly a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be back soon. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a great time, outstanding food, and a beautiful view—it's the perfect choice!
