Best Restaurants with a Scenic View in Downtown Miami

We had great service, from the host to the server and the rest of the staff. Food was good. My kids are picky eaters and enjoyed the Messi chicken burger very much. We also had the loaded tater tots, the like crema is really good.

The setting in the Versace mansion is perfect. The fountain, pool, tile work, statues and tapestries are the perfect setting for traditional Italian dining. The ocean air breeze flowing over the open southern wall by the pool perfectly complements the vibe in this ristorante with an authentic trattoria feel. Somehow, I wasn’t even annoyed by the constant picture taking of influencers and other diners as the setting is more like - how could you not? The medium rare lamb chops and truffle gnocchi were perfect. The desserts are a demonstration of the talent of both the chef and the servers. Try the tiramisu to see what I mean.

We had a wonderful time! Our waiter was very nice and we loved the food. It was a little pricey for what it was which is brunch.

Such a fun experience at Kiki on the River. The food was outstanding. The Miami “scene” was out for sure. We live in Chicago and very used to premium prices for our meals - this was excessive. For 2 adults and a 14 yr old it was $450. My husband and I each had 2 drinks. We had one entre, filet a Caesar salad, tuna tartar, grilled vegetables. That costs about $350 with tip at Morton’s. We had fun and chalked it up to vacation meal. It’s definitely a spot worth going if you like the Miami scene.

From the moment you enter and see the funky, eclectic decor, you know that you're in a welcoming space. You'll be warmly greeted and seated. The menu offers enough plates to allow for a variety of palates, but few enough that allow them to be perfected. The homemade pasta dishes are always an excellent choice, the salads are fresh and the panini are lovely. If you love eggplant parmigiani, you're in luck. And the dessert menu is divine!
