Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Miami / Palm Beach

We had a great Chef/Cook named Alvaro from Nicaragua. He was excellent he prepared the food in a great way, delicious. Alvaro was very entertaining and had a lot of patience during his cooking. Alvaro took to care in a timely and proper manner of all the special requests made by some of the guest in the table. Alvaro is definitely great asset to Benihana Miami Beach

Great all the way around!! I love this place. I noted in the reservation comments on OT that this was a first date and recent b’day. The wait staff were fully on board and offered a complimentary Prosecco toast at the outset and then proceeded to deliver excellent service throughout. Great local, neighborhood restaurant and bar. Excellent food—all prepared in-house, breads, tortilla chips, etc.—and drinks.

Excellent food, great service. More locals and less tourists than most Miami Beach restaurants. Consistently great experience.

Bridget , the manger saved the day! Of course Christmas Eve was a busy night and reservations were flooding in but we have been to The Drexel before and we know it’s worth the wait. Martina the server took great care of us the minute we sat down and was always there for us when we needed her . We had the whole chicken , tuna carpaccio , hummus, mussels , pasta for the kids ! An amazing Christmas Eve feast! Bartenders are on point with our Negronis and my special request for a drink called le veux carre! It is a great spot for a local to feel like you have been taken out of Miami Beach and into a different world. You guys did great last night ! No pressure no diamonds!

Another wonderful experience. We brough 2 nephews from out of town, and they were blown away by the food, service, attention to detail by the staff, and the show. We ate family style and were given adequate time between courses to enjoy our family. Then we topped off desert with the Bomb! This is a delicate outer shell of merengue, with fresh seasonal fruits and freshly whipped cream. Bravo! This restaurant has quickly become our go to place to eat especially when we have guests in town. Sharing this experience is on the top of our list.
