Breakfast By Mandarin Oriental - Miami

I dined at this restaurant on a Friday evening in July with my two young kids, my teenage son, and three other adults. Although we arrived 25 minutes late for our reservation, the staff were incredibly accommodating and welcomed us to start our Peruvian-inspired dinner. Once seated, our wonderful waiter, Itsa, assisted us in selecting drinks and appetizers. The grilled octopus and scallops were outstanding, and I must highlight the crispy pork belly and seafood fried rice, which were both fantastic. For dessert, we shared a delicious chocolate layered cake and an exquisite Coconut Mousse that truly captivated us. This place is definitely worth a visit!

I approached Alex to explain our situation, emphasizing that we had made a reservation for outdoor seating. She acknowledged our request but initially stated that she could not accommodate us as we wanted. After a brief conversation, she was eventually able to arrange an outdoor table for us, which I appreciate, but I feel our table should have been prepared in advance as we requested. Once seated outside, we encountered another issue: the sun was shining directly in our faces. Despite this discomfort, we chose not to complain and proceeded to enjoy our meal. Overall, the two hours we spent at the restaurant went smoothly, and the food was satisfactory. When it was time for us to leave, we noticed that my father's plate remained untouched. We politely asked for a take-out box, but were informed that the policy required all food to be consumed on the premises. I requested to speak with the manager, Steven, and I felt that he was not genuinely inclined to assist us. He reiterated the policy and stated that there could be no exceptions, even for a main course. Now, regarding my feedback: if this is indeed your established policy, I strongly recommend that management reconsider it. Such a rule is not what one would expect from a five-star hotel and falls short of your mission to delight and inspire guests. For a luxury hotel brand like yours, this level of inflexibility is unacceptable. Additionally, I asked Steven for your email address, but he declined to provide it. However, when I contacted customer service online, they promptly provided me with your email without any issues. Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback. I hope it contributes to the ongoing improvement of your establishment's services. I would appreciate it if you could address the concerns raised in this message and share any insights or actions taken in response.

After the concierge spoke so highly, we were super excited to dine here. Overall, big disappointment! $37 for 2 scallops. 2 scallops is not an entree portion. Most apps are ceviche. Truly disappointing. Was hoping for alot more from Mandarin Oriental.

Our family celebration was amazing experience due to the fantastic staff led by their GM Mr. Bustamante and the always stunning food by Chef Diego Oka. Please try their new Ceviche Lujoso (might be the best ceviche we have ever eaten) as well as the Corn dessert. La Mar has and will continue to be one of the best options for fine dining in Miami. Thank you La Mar for a great evening!!
