Amazing service, phenomenal food, and simply just a great time! Our servers were attentive, offered great recommendations, and even gave us something on the house to celebrate our anniversary. What a beautiful night.

We went last year and loved the food, the service and the ambiance. Not this time, as dwntwn is going under an expansive renovation the whole are feels so abandoned that kills any good mood. The ambience inside the gallery was not nice, the restaurant itself is good but the music was too loud, the food came for the 4 of us at different times, the service was friendly , but overall the experience was not good

Food is good and recipe and presentation well executed. Ingredients also are very good. Unfortunately the ambiance is poor and inconsistent with the experience. I hope those brave will find a better place to move the business. My opinion surfside will be perfect.

Motek is located in the lobby of the Diamond Exchange in downtown Miami. It is a very busy place. It is not a place for quiet conversation. The food is wonderful -- very creative. And the staff is excellent -- efficient and friendly.

Funny location in a jewelry mall but boy is it worth the trip. Best Israeli food I’ve had. Everything fresh and delicious. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy this hidden gem again. Best items we tried were the labnith harif & crispy cauliflower, pita is amazing, chicken schnitzel, babaganoush and the lamb sausage. Absolutely loved this place

This place is hidden the middle of a dead space in downtown Miami, but I’m glad we found it. I think we ate half the menu and would have eaten more if we could. The salmon was delicious and the cauliflower was definitely worth mentioning. Service was excellent. Wish this place was located in a better location. Food was well worth the trip.
