CASA NEOS

"Casa Neos is part of the Riviera Dining Group, providing a luxurious dining atmosphere." - Erin Perkins

"Looks are the only thing that's important to this Miami River restaurant. Casa Neos uses big white drapes and mid-century modern decor to look like a pricey Tulum resort. But the reality is that you’re dining on the edge of the Miami River next to floating garbage and cargo ships. Dancers juggle fire to try and distract you from this truth, but it doesn’t work. And the food, with the exception of surprisingly good hummus and truffle arancini, is a letdown. The main dishes are either too bland or have too many conflicting spices. If you actually find the Miami River sexy, maybe make a reservation outside. Just know that their finicky patio umbrellas retain water, which might end up all over your mediocre plate of rigatoni if a storm passes by.

If anything, it’s oddly sweet and desperately needs salt. photo credit: Casa Neos Wagyu Beef Skirt Steak When you mix a bunch of different colors together, you get a dull brown. That’s exactly what happened to this steak seasoned with too many polarizing spices. video credit: Mariana Trabanino Baklava This cinnamon-heavy baklava topped with pistachio ice cream isn’t worth enduring another 20 minutes of deep house." - Mariana Trabanino

"Casa Neos is a waterfront restaurant from the folks behind Mila in South Beach. Like Mila, the menu is loosely Mediterranean with things like salmon crudo, rigatoni pasta, and a rack of lamb. The restaurant occupies a small portion of this gigantic stone building that’s also part hotel and part members-only club (an unfortunate trend in this city)." - mariana trabanino, virginia otazo

"Louis Vuitton has transformed the Miami members-only club, Casa Neos, into an LV poolhouse: terraces, docks, and the pool cabanas are covered in the house’s iconic flower monogram in fuchsia and orange, and giant seashell sculptures dot the property throughout. A pop-up shop will sell everything from leather goods, ready-to-wear, to surfboards, as well as the raffia OnTheGo Miami bag." - Elise Taylor
