Soprano Cafe & Resturant Inc

Overall Rating: 5
Food:[7] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Food was good.
• Hidden prices and overcharged dishes.

“Great food, very nice people that showed us the best food. Problem was they totally over charged a T-bone steak! The food they showed us was not on the menu at all! They give you a menu with average prices like 25.00 to 30.00 per plate and then they suggest one that it's not even there and charged us 45.00 per it! They just trick you.”

Food:[6] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[9]

• The place is beautiful.
• My experience with the service was disappointing

“The people who served the food was not courteous, they did not offer me anything to drink, they took forever to take my order, the food was super cold. Nobody ask me if I needed something. They where too busy to stop by. My husband and son arrived 30 minutes later, the waitress never asked them if they wanted something to drink or eat, They were hungry also, but, seriously, I did not ask for the check and it was there, when I told the guy that I wanted a flan, he got upset, took the check and left a few minutes later he came back and left the plate at the edge of the table without even telling me that it was there. They came back with that check again and I asked for a coffee. Why didn't they just asked me if I wanted the check? It was like my 3 and 4 years old daughters, my husband and 15 years old son, were taking somebody else place and they did not want us to be there. I went to complain with the manager, but she had this look in her face like telling me, Sorry, but my people at this restaurant is out of control. What can I do? I am sorry, I know that jobs are so hard to get but all these people should try to work the way they are suppose to. just wanted to have fun. My husband told me that he was willing to call a Manager at the table and I told him not to do it like that. So therefore I asked for a manager and I told her all about it. She did not sound sincere.”

“Oceans 10 was an excellent restaurant. My husband and I got the paella for two, it is out of this world. The service could of been a little better but the food and atmosphere is amazing Every time we go to South Beach we always stop by there to have something to eat. It is a must go.”

Anokha Indian Restaurant

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[2] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Honestly, the best part is that I'll never have to go back.
• Everything was bad, overpriced food. Apparently the old Anoka is gone and will be missed.

“The new Anoka is terrible. They reinvented themselves around Aug 2008 as a modern, Indian-flavored fusion restaurant. Gone are the traditional cooking and atmosphere that made them great. The new space is huge and unmanageable, the service is terrible, the food is bland. The chicken tikka was dry and tasteless, the naan felt like it had been cooked earlier and reheated. With their new contemporary menu most of the old favorites are gone, you'll be hard pressed to find many true Indian dishes.”

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[8] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• The atmosphere, the food, being greeted and seated by the owner, the setting.
• Some of the meals could be better presented.

“The driver was friendly and took our photo before we set off. On arrival he escorted us to the restaurant and left us in the hands of the hostess. The atmosphere of eating Al Fresco was delightful, a great setting with awnings and candle lit lamps. The service was good and the food cooked well, the steak very tender, the only downfall was the lack of garnish, the meal came with just steak and fries, a little more thought into the presentation would of made it 10/10.”

• Time to go!
• Everything!

“What is good about this place? Nothing. Bad ambience, bad service, small portions (too small), in normal restaurants rice comes with your meal. But in this restaurant you are told once your main course has arrived no its separate orders! & on top of it waited 1 hour and 40 minutes for my food and when you ask before hand where it is your told the order has just been put in & to top it all off, they will add a 18 % gratuity surcharge for your food! Ridiculous place, terrible services, rude waiters, very poor management, disgusting taste and view of the food! And of course no chance not to tip.”

“Great food and service. Very small with tables packed closely together. Therefore it is noisy and lots of movement from the wait staff. Not a place to relax for a quite meal. The food is superior although with an appetizer or salad, main course, one glass of wine (generous serving)”

• Parking, then again. Its always like that in South Beach.

“My now husband and I love this place. This is where he proposed to me at! The waiter was so nice and was even in on surprise. He let all the other waiters know and those waiters told their tables so the entire restaurant was aware that my fiancé was going to propose to me and everyone clapped and joined in on the excitement! The food was great and the prices as well. The atmosphere is so "Miami" if thats what you're looking for with the live entertainment. Its over all an amazing place to be.”

Food:[8] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Good food.
• Waiting time, service.

“The food was good, but there was a big problem. The service for one was horrible; they pretty much just tossed the plates to your table. The waiting time! The waiting time for the sushi was like 30 minutes, just horrible. There was this one time were we had to wait like an hour for just 4 plates of sushi. The environment was not that good though because there was like an echo in the room so it sounded like there were 100 people instead of 20.”

“Looks kind of ghetto if you simply drive by, but don't let looks deceive you! A hidden jewel if you ask me, with a huge selection of sushi and Thai food you can't go wrong! If you like your meat you'll this place and if your a vegetarian, this is a must.”

Basilico Ristorante

Overall Rating: 5
Food:[10] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Most menu items and specials were extremely delicious.
• If something is wrong with your meal; i.e. overcooked pasta or chicken, they will say you are wrong.

“The food is quite delicious, especially the chicken gorgonzola, however, one of the brothers, who is also one of the owners, tends to be a bit "bi-polar" and can be rude and snippy. Our family used to frequent the restaurant on a regular basis, but his bad attitude just got to be too much and we stopped going, even though we do miss the delicious items on the menu, we would leave with indigestion on his "off" days and it just was not worth going since it was a crap shoot as to what his mood would be.”

• Food is very good. Prices are very good.
• Service is pretty slow.

“The price is really good and the food is very good. So far I have try most traditional food, but they do offer true Colombia plates. The only think I don't like is the service, they are usually pretty slow, so plan ahead for that. We even have names for the people that takes our order depending on they specialty. For example, this guy is big but slow as hell. Also, refuses to take orders on paper, he tries to remember all but always forget something. The are only two outstanding people there, This guy is small and moves like a bee, non stop and always make sure you have what you need. None of the less, this restaurant is a must go. Ah! Always order some empanadas, you will love them!”

Normans Tavern

Food:[3] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Location, atmosphere, staff.
• Food quality.

“Maybe it was an "off" day. I had heard Norman's was a good place close to the Sherry Hotel, home of airline crews. Very disappointed with the white/yellow (no romaine greens) Caesars' salad, with a pitiful 1/4" slab of over seasoned and dry mahi-mahi. There was so much dressing that salad leaves swam in a milky/watery mess, making the croutons mushy and inedible. I asked for tarter sauce with my calamari that turned out to be a dill mixture. The batter reminded me of KFC without any taste. Sorry, Norman's, the food was awful. The only saving grace was the waiter; his English was limited, but his demeanor welcoming and efficient. Keep the staff, improve the food, and you've got a gold mine. As if, it's a click below mediocre for the money.”

“This place is a hidden gem. We came here on the day after New Year's and were impressed with not only the world class churrasco and the nacatamal but also the hospitable, unobtrusive service. They have a good inexpensive selection of wines, a cacao to die for and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.”

• Food was good and the servings were generous.
• A sports bar atmosphere which was a bit noisy.

“Were there for supper Dec 10, 2007. Baby back ribs were excellent. My wife and I both ordered the full rack @ $18.95 and had to struggle to finish the generous portion. A better strategy would have been to split a full rack or each order a half rack of ribs @ $16.95. The ribs come with fresh rolls, a green salad, and one side. We chose the roasted potatoes and they were good. The other couple ordered Caesar salad with fish and thought it was good. Generally good value for the money.”

• Good service, fun energy of Lincoln road.
• Msg in food, smokers at tables around you.

“My "food" ranking may be somewhat misleading because, at first taste (and for a few hours afterwards), it seemed like a fantastic dinner. The sushi was divine and my shrimp pad Thai had an amazing flavor as well as. Count them. Ten huge and beautifully cooked shrimp! But, it's now 4 a.m. and my partner and I are wide awake with headaches and hearts racing. Why? We're sensitive to msg. We didn't know it was in the food, weren't told (of course) and (surprise) it wasn't noted on the menu. I haven't felt this in years, since all of the Asian restaurants we now frequent have banished it from their foods. Now we (unfortunately) know why Sushi Siams food was so tasty. Take out the Msg, guys we know you can cook without it!”

Food:[8] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Good gathering place and sports bar convenient to the Marriot and the Doubletree Grand.
• Hard to find unless a local clues you in, but maybe that's another thing that makes it so good.

“Mike's was a rare find hidden away on the 9th floor of a condo tower next door to the Marriot Hotel. I am a burned out restaurateur and I can honestly say it was nice to find a place with "normal" prices, food and people in Downtown Miami. It's pretty much locals only and one of the best kept secrets in Miami. Fantastic service from friendly people that care (one server I met has been there for 15 years, another 8), extensive bar, large variety menu plus daily specials, lots of TVs, 2 pool tables in back and outdoor seating by the pool.”

• Chef doesn't know how to cook a steak.

“I went a month ago for the 1st time to that restaurant more for tourists than locals. The food was really good for the price. (Special: rib eye + shrimp $22). I went back last night, we ask for our steak medium rare and we got a medium well done. We tell the server that try to convince us that's a medium to medium rare. And the chef doesn't want to replace the steak. Ok, if it's like that we'll never come back. Few minutes later the server comes back to tell us that we will receive another rib eye. This one was rare and anyway we were not really hungry after that.”

“I know there aren't many Indian restaurants in Miami, but this is one to avoid. The service here is terrible. We waited 1.25 hours before even getting our appetizer. The food is eh, not so great. I've had much better food at places that are less expensive. And the prices are too much for what they give you (i.e. rice = $5, your dish doesn't come with rice - are you supposed to eat it with your hands?). Oh, and in case you are irritated about the service, food, or whatever you'll still end up paying the 18% gratuity for the awful experience. Avoid!”
