"Mandolin is always one of the first places we recommend for eating outside in Miami. The reason: this place is great, in so many ways. The Greek menu—with dishes like grilled haloumi, watermelon salad, kebabs, and more—never disappoints. Plus, their outdoor patio is so lovely. The Buena Vista restaurant looks like it got sucked up by a tornado in Santorini and dropped into South Florida, Wizard of Oz-style. And thanks to a big tree, some well-placed awnings, and lots of fans, it’s possible to eat here in July." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
