Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Miami / Palm Beach

While visiting Miami with my husband and daughter, I wanted to show them this building which was once a cool but rundown apartment building known as the Amsterdam in the 1980s, when I lived there - before Gianni Versace bought it and turned it into his home. It took me back in time as the entry and lobby is still very much the same, and the walkway to the dining area, which was approx where the door to apt 106 once was. Being there brought back some great memories. The dining area was once another building which GV knocked down to make room for his patio and pool, behind which stands a beautiful, somewhat ostentatious, mosaic tiled wall which fortunately did not cross the line into gaudiness.

An awesome meal with great service and incredible ambience. Highly recommend.

Simona and Mercedes took great care of us. I recommend the four course tasting menu with wine pairing. Every dish was unique, flavorful, healthy, decadent, and an experience all in itself. The chef knows what they are doing. This is a foodie paradise. We were counting, or trying to, and I think we tried about 12 new dishes that we had never had with this pairing. To top it off, we sat outside and the setting is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. The chairs are very wide and comfortable, and the foliage makes you feel like you’re in another country. thank you for the handwritten card for my mother’s birthday. I forgot to grab it so I will come back for it tonight. Well. We might as well have dinner too!

If you like Turkish / Mediterranean food - you will love the fresh pitas, charcoal roasted meats, and endless Mezze of Doya - don't hesitate, just go.

Totally SEXY VIBE. Around 7:00pm is absolutely packed and you can barely move around. After 9:00 you can finally have an audible conversation. Amazing fire dancing entertainment. Visually stimulating in every way. Aesthetically pleasing. Very expensive. AMAZING SERVICE. DELICIOUS FOOD. Unforgettable experience.
