no reservations restaurant & wine bar

This is a quaint wine bar that straddles the line between a Fin-de-siècle European bistro and a modern tapas restaurant, excelling at both. The space is small, almost intimate, with tables of different sizes and a small bar, and tended by the excellent Liza. Food is an assortment of mostly Mediterranean cuisine, with some Western European highlights (e.g. escargots, boquerones). And an excellent happy hour for a bite and a brew. By all means, if you're in the area, check this place out. It's a hidden gem.

Wowww! What a surprise! What a medley of amazing food! First, very tasty spinach cheese triangle appetizers. the incredible ham croquettes with jam was next. No lie, this croquettes made my top 5 fav croquettes of ALL TIME! Then the delish bacalao croquettes! Third, course was escargots, and wowwwwwwww! Lastly, I ate my boyfriend's lamb chops that were truly incredible! I can't wait to go back!!! Thank u Liza! 6 stars!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing place. I can’t wait to come back. Lisa is great, food is expectational, wine kept the night going until close.

Highly recommend! It's such a cute little neighborhood spot. The food, wine and service was fantastic! The owner was there taking care of us, made excellent recommendations, and was so nice. The food was so fresh and the flavors were perfection. Miami needs more places like this. Can't wait to go back!

Hidden gem in Miami Shores. Food is excellent. Serviced by its owner. Happy Hour everyday from 5 to 7. This is an amazing value for your money. If you like great mediterranean food, wine and you are tired of over priced restaurants. You HAVE to try this place. You wont regret it.

We had an exceptional experience at no reservation which will now be my to go place! Everything was perfect from food taste, presentation and service. The place is gorgeously designed and the wine list can’t be better (French wine) we also talked to the chef, a former Top Chef tv show contestant, he was so nice and accessible. Good luck to this new restaurant that deserve to be known. Thank you

This amazing place is a hidden gem. The menu is diverse with many mostly Greek dishes, but it's not your typical Greek joint food. There's a great mix of mezze fusion and traditional dishes. The quality is exceptional. I've never had a less than stellar dish at Barmeli. They also have a very thoughtful and reasonably priced wine menu with several Greek options. We went with a group of 6 and ordered 12-14 tapas to share along with a few bottles of Greek wine. Everything was excellent. Second visit was just as great. Now, we dine they're regularly. The ambience, especially on weekends, feels like you are in Europe. The Spanish guitar player adds to the character and it's not too loud for good conversation. Service is prompt and friendly. I would 100% recommend to others and always look forward to my next visit.

Barmeli69 - A cozy, charming wine bar and Mediterranean bistro. 💜proud to patronize this women-owned establishment serving delicious and unique Greek tapas, well paired wines, cozy indoor and outdoor seating and live music on select nights. Exceptional service. Beautiful and eccentric washroom decor. You must go.

Was in the North Miami/Miami Shores area looking for a nice happy hour spot and was so fortunate to find No Reservations. It's a well decorated and quaint spot to fulfill your natural wine dreams. They have an extensive list of natural wines, along with some beer options as well. A wonderful happy hour that includes many wines and bites. The owner was there and provided such wonderful service. We ordered a natural orange wine and Lambrusco. Both delicious and fresh. For bites we ordered the hummus and the falafel. Both so good. Especially loved the tangy sauce for the falafel. For dessert we tried the basque cheesecake and wow! It was one of the best I've ever had. Absolutely love this spot! The menu has great options for food and drinks, and I am a huge fan of the ambiance. I can't wait to come back again soon!

The owner of an old favorite, Bar Meli, took her talents north to Miami Shores, and here is where I was reacquainted during a networking dinner this past Monday. No Reservations is tucked away in a strip mall on Biscayne Blvd,. In what turns out was the location of an old favorite French bistro. Parking can take some work, as it is shared by the various businesses in the plaza, and one of the businesses has reserved spots for only its patrons. Our group was attended by Liza (the owner) in addition to her team. The menu for the event was a tasty of passed bites, with a variety of land and sea dishes. As it were, they were prepared cleanly enough that even though I was the only one at my table not eating the seafood & shellfish courses I was not triggered. The space itself is dimly lit, with tasteful art and neon and the vibe great for either a business networker or a date night. My favorite of the passed bites included their juicy and flavorful skirt steak (aka churrasco), the spicy hummus dip and the tangy & tasty Greek salad. I'd definitely like to stop by and try some more of their menu items.

Absolutely amazing experience at no reservations. The owner Meli is an angel and the vibe of the spot is everything. The food was incredible and so was the beverage selection. Also amazing happy hour!! Highly recommend!!!

Small cozy place. Great food and excellent service. The best to go with friends to chat, eat good and enjoy a good wine. Definitely going again soon. Food is delicious and decoration is elegant and modern. Another detail that I enjoyed was the bathroom: it was neat and clean. Parking is easy.

Very good food and very good service in a cozy ambiance. The owner makes the difference with her pr.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! Like wow! Where do I begin? We were craving some food late night and didn't want wings or fast food. We stumbled upon this place in a Biscayne complex and what a pleasant surprise. We were immediately greeted by who we thought was the hostess but later found out was the owner. The place is owned by the same owner as once BarMeli, She sat us at the table and throughly answered any questions we had about the menu and provided some suggestions of her own. We split a few different things with some of our favorites being the branzino and bison sliders. When I tell you it was some of the best food. The bottles of wine selection is nice but a little expensive. The decor is sexy and funky at the same time and it feels like you're in an old wine cellar. It's open late and was a real gem of a find.

Quaint little wine/gastro spot in the most unexpected unassuming strip mall in the Miami Shores area. We googled "wine bars" and No Reservations popped up. It's so close to home we could walk there and decided "why not." We didn't actually walk. There's ample parking on the rear. We ordered a bottle. Note: Very nice selection but not one the bottles are under $40-ish. Tapas are delish. We had hummus, olives, chick pea salad (divine), and a charcuterie. Mains were bison sliders and lamb kabobs. Everything was so yummy. Interesting fact: No Reservations is same owner as BarMeli, which recently closed (very sad). If you had the pleasure to dine at BarMeli, you'll love No Reservations. My only gripe is the uncomfortable bar stools.

This is a sweet and nice spot for wine happy hour. I can with friends and the owner greeted us at the door and sat immediately. Service was quick and efficient. Grate suggestion was shared by the owner. Definitely plan on coming back and trying the regular menu.

Really nice vibe, came for Happy Hour 4 to 7. Enjoyed perfectly chilled Cote du Rhone and a lovely Super Tuscan. They had a great pate on HH menu and outstanding croquettas. We also tried the fried anchovy/caramelized onion flatbread, lovely Labneh salad and the escargot. Great service, great music, wonderful way to spend an early Saturday evening. A plus is the ample parking in the rear. Do yourself a favor and give this a try. We will back, see you there?

My wife and I went tonight and I have to say we had the best experience ever. This place really reminded us of a place that you would find in San Diego or California. Very quaint sophisticated great service great food and drinks. Will definitely be back.

Impromptu visit, amazing experience! No reservation, no problem. Exceptional food, fantastic service, and a charming ambiance in North Miami. Don't miss out!

My friend organized a meet up here to connect her friends (6 of us) , And it was super fun, mission accomplished! A wonderful time- we ordered a number of apps and tapas to share- the wine selection on the menu is well thought out and good. Service was kind, attentive and consistent, a rarity these days in Miami. Parking is easy and plentiful. Highly recommend.

Very cool vibe. Very welcoming and 1 on 1 service from the staff. The grape leaves are excellent, so are the tapa sliders - tasted a few different natural wines that were excellent. Had a great time!

I came to no reservations on a whim while visiting Miami and really happy I did! Great selection of wine and such a cozy vibe. The service was attentive and fast. I ordered olives, stuffed grape leaves and garlic shrimp. The garlic shrimp was incredible; perfectly cooked shrimp and the garlic sauce was truly magical.

Came because we loved the previous restaurant barmeli but this is next level. Same wonderful wines with all new items. This is really a great restaurant for a good meal and ti spend time with friends. Had the porcini and Gouda arancini yummm and the shrimp cassoulet and coppa with polenta . Great service and a relaxing atmosphere with wonderful decorations and great food. Come and experience it for yourself.

The corn all the way and duck tacos are DELICIOUS and #GlutenFree!!! Ended with the pavlova which was yum!! Hubs had the spicy beet humus and bison sliders and they did not disappoint. Delicious new menu and amazing wine. The super Tuscan is well worth it. Amazing date night spot and can't wait for the Weekly Wine Tastings on Thursdays 7-9pm. A must try!!

Great food, drinks, ambience, attentive service, Liza the owner is a top restauranteur with a 1st class team. Consistently wonderful experience.

I am beyond happy to write this review! I followed the owner from her first restaurant called Barmeli 69, it was my absolute favorite place. I just knew that this place would be special too. From great food, to a warm upscale classy ambiance and to top it off great customer interaction. Meli pulled it off again. The name is perfect for what she envisioned this place to be. Wether it be a date night, a quick glass of wine with the girls or a dinner for 1 this is it. Thank you Meli. We are happy to have you so close to our neighborhood. Cheers to another success.

Sweetest neighborhood spot with loads of personality and style. It's a cozy little wine bar with fabulous tapas and a great happy hour! Loved everything we ordered. The service was wonderful. We will absolutely return to this little gem!

Great place. Dining Companion and I went with small plates -- all of them good. DC loves rose wines, and she had the best she's ever had here. Great place to try. Fabulous service. Lot more items on menu to try, so we'll be back.

Loved it! Small, quaint, homey and great food. If you know Liza , (former owner of Barmeli) you know what she can do!

I love this place. The selection of wines is excellent. The food is prepared with love and care. Very cosy. Good happy hour value.

Great happy hour! Very good wine and tapas! Nice ambiance and service. Will definitely go back.

Just the name "No Reservations " makes me curious about this new hidden gem. It's tucked in between Sushi Bombs and A nail salon on Biscayne in a very unassuming strip mall. What a surprise when you walk into NR. You are transported to a sleek, modern wine bar, with incredible features, particularly the chandelier over the bar. Brilliant! The wines are all natural and lovingly curated from all over Europe. Many of the wines have been made by small, Artisianal vineyards and you won't find them in any other restaurants. The menu is chef inspired and captures a large range of cuisines. For instance where can you find Duck Confit Tacos, Pissaldiere, and Aroncini with Smoked Gouda, Tuna Tetaki and Rabbit Cordon Bleu? Definitely original and fresh! The Duck Tacos are amazing. The Duck Confit is so luscious next to an orange marmalade with cotija cheese on a crunchy corn Tortilla. Rabbit Cordon Bleu is stunning! The flavors of the roulade are so well balanced and intoxicating on a bed of super ginger carrot puree and fresh petit Peas. It's a standout dish! Another awesome dish is the Spicy Beet Hummus. Its outstanding with the Olive Crostini, definitely a must try! As is the Wagyu Bresaola Tartine. Each bite explodes with lively flavors that dance around your tongue. There's preserved lemon, pickled onions, silky and slightly salty Bresaola and a good shmear of that awesome Spicy Beet Hummus on a Crispy Ciabatta Toast! The menu offers a good selection of fresh seafood, including an Herb Roasted whole Dorada, Seared Scallops and a delicate Monkfish Roulade. For dessert, the Creme Brulee is one of the best I ever had and there's also a wonderful Blue cheese plate to complete the experience. I would definitely go again and try some more of the unique wines and truly inspired cuisine. Because the place is small, you get an intimate vibe with friendly service, it has a true neighborhood feeling.
