Sim Sim Restaurant

So glad to stumble onto this gem, The manti was perfect so it stole the show but the plov was delicious too with tender lamb pieces. The fried liver was also perfectly done - no heavy fry oil taste. Service was top notch. Worth the trip everytime

This is the definition of a hidden gem. It feels like your meal was cooked by an Uzbek grandmother you can taste the love in every bite. We love the baba ganoush, the bread, the manto, and the plov. Excellent quality and consistency.

Delicious food, spotless interior, and top-notch service! This restaurant is not only clean and well-organized but also incredibly family-friendly. We ordered a fresh salad, French fries, potatoes with mushrooms, and a variety of kebabs—and every single dish was packed with flavor. The chicken and lyulya kebabs were a big hit with the kids, and the house-made kompot took me right back to my childhood—such a nostalgic touch! We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be returning. 👍

A lovely Uzbek / Turkish restaurant in North Miami with great offerings, a welcoming large space worthy of a large venue celebration. Service is young and friendly either a family-style smile. We had do many items to taste. We took the recommendation of our server Okbari, and were amazed. It was all good but my personal Top 3 were the fried eggplant salad, the Pilaf which comes with pieces of lamb and dried fruits and the grilled Dorado fish. Okbari, great choices! We will be back and highly recommend.

Sim-Sim is an absolute treasure for anyone who loves authentic Uzbek cuisine! We had a wonderful experience at this Uzbek/turkish restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious! I especially loved the eggplant salad and the chebureki — they were full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The shashlik and lagman were also outstanding. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I truly wish this restaurant continued success and prosperity!

Terrific restaurant! Uzbekistan in Miami?! Yes, please! The decor was authentic. The plating was gorgeous. The food was mouthwatering delicious. We ordered the tomato cucumber salad, fried eggplant which was so tasty! Followed by their pilaf which had lamb, apricots, raisins - simply divine! The pumpkin dumplings were so delicate and tasty. Can’t wait to go again!!

A true gem in Miami - food, service, and ambiance were all impeccable! We were treated like family from the moment we walked in, and if you haven’t given Uzbekistani food a try, do yourself a favor. We had the Pilav, Lagman, Samsas, and Kebab - all 10/10. Kalvin was an absolute joy of a server and absolutely made our night. Will absolutely be coming back soon!

One of my best experience!!!!! We had uzbek pilav, mantı, tashkent salad and uzbek bread. Everything was so good and delicious. Our server Anastasia was so professional and kind. We definitely come back. 💯💯💯💯💯💯

one of my favorite places! I especially love karaoke days here! Very cozy and friendly atmosphere, you want to come back here every time. I recommend!!!

I was looking for a quiet chillled ambiance for me and my mother to eat. We found it and didnt know what to expect. This was my 1st experience of "Bukharian Cuisine" I thought it was Bulgarian...its not. I learned something new. The staff was warm and friendly. The door to enter the restaurant was a heavy sliding door. It may need some WD-40...lol The server offered recommendations. We saw other guests have interesting plates & presentation. Again we didnt know what to expect. We went with our gut and trust of service. The presentation was not the best. Salmon was good, Lula Kebob...I have no idea what it is and didnt like it. Didnt taste like chicken. The kebobs seemed very skimpy. The rice, mashpotato, and sauces were good. Not a fan of the Lula. Drinks were very pricey. Overall we felt like we had a somewhat healthy meal, service was slow towards the end.

This place is always a good time! Service is impeccable and the food is delicious! Tuna tartar is incredible and the salmon was my favorite! I love coming here and can't wait to try something new for my next visit! This location is conveniently located to the beach, US1, east access to everything. They also have karaoke and salsa classes too!

Drinks are watered down, bartenders tried to scam us twice. Up charging on drinks and adding drinks that we didn't have. They agreed to remove them and then didn't bring the bill for half an hour ignoring us. Rude manager and very bland food that seemed stale and old. At times good music. Cater to whoever is in Restaraunt from their friends. Which sucks when they want to play so type of music and not variety for everyone.

Father's Day dinner at a farm to table Mediterranean cuisine restaurant. Very chic. Nice background music playing. Ordered Brussel sprouts, a beet salad, Greek Capaccio & PEI mussels & fries. Yummy. This place is great. We will be back. The staff were very friendly & accommodating.

So glad we got to try this place for dinner! The place is so cute and love the breezy outdoor seating. The evening is still nice to sit outside and enjoy golden hour (it's May now so IYKYK). We started with some cocktails - Rose Aperol Spritz - rose brut, Aperol & orange and The Conservative - Woodford reserve bourbon, black cherry, & St. Germain. The drinks were a perfect start - refreshing and tasty! Next we got the Mushroom Polenta - creamy polenta, sauteed mushrooms, & truffle oil and Salmon Tiradito - fresh faro island salmon, jalapeno peppers, ponzu, & soy pearls. The polenta was my favorite, very comforting and the truffle oil added a nice touch. Next, our mains were the churrasco and the mussels with fries. The churrasco was cooked perfectly and came with fries and Chimichurri sauce. The fries were a thicker cut and very crispy. But the star of the show for me were the mussels! Omg the broth is to die for, you have to try that! Dipping the fries in the sauce is a must! Last we saved a little room for some chocolate lava cake that had Nutella inside along with vanilla ice cream! You can't go wrong with this dessert and the Nutella is the perfect finish to a beautiful meal! Can't wait to go back and try brunch soon.

A great restaurant, indoor & outdoor sittings. Food was delicious and service was good. A nice selection of dishes on their menu. The portions are big. We highly recommend it

I had a wonderful experience tonight and look forward to returning. The food was super flavourful, nice portions and great service. The owner is really nice and warm. They had live music and the saxophonist even stopped playing to dance with me since I saw another couple dancing and told him that I wish I had someone to dance with. It was lots of fun! I highly recommend this place for a great kosher experience of Bucharian cuisine.

You will feel right at home in this storefront restaurant, bar and hookah place. The place was nearly empty on a Saturday night at 8:30. Don't let that fool you. Exceptional food was attentive service. At $116 for a shared salad, two entrees and a bottle of peligrino, not sure I would feel welcome to come back. Hence the 4 stars. There is no denying that the Guest was really good. If the were just a restaurant, there Chef could take them places in the food world!

The outdoor seating area was pretty, but the food was ordinary. We had grilled branzino with roasted veggies that were tasty but there was nothing unusual about the flavors. The appetizers were underwhelming, the service was spotty and the prices were high.

I was there for the karaoke night Monday, had a blast! The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavors, fresh veggies, beautiful place, love the decor too. Would definitely recommend it

Decided to end my early year quarantining and met a friend at The Guest after looking at several places that were open in the area and it did not disappoint. Called ahead to make sure that there was seating available and I was told that it was okay to come in, but when I arrived, most of the seating at the area was already taken, as there was some reservation already holding up most of the outside seating. I explained to Tracy that I had called ahead and she resolved the issue in a matter of a minute, which was perfect. Everyone in the staff was wearing a mask, so it brought a sense of mental ease. Soon after we were set up, Tracy came back to explain the menu a bit and offered some suggestions. She mentioned some of the items on the $10 tapas menu, specifically the Cauliflower and the Polenta (do I give a vegan vibe?!), and offered drinking suggestions. We ordered some fried calamari to start with, followed by the Hamachi Tiradito, and followed that up later with a Tuna Tiradito as well. I asked for a swap on the mule as I wanted mine done with tequila, and she was very accommodating, mentioning the tequilas that were available, and we also ordered a Miami Martini. Soon after, the calamari arrived. It was fried to perfection, with a nice batter and marinara sauce on the side. There were also dots of what seemed to be sriracha sauce on the cutting board plating, which added hits of spice, and the charred lemon was not even necessary as it tasted great. The hamachi tiradito was the star of the night for me. It was served on a bed of ponzu sauce and topped off with a slightly spicy sauce (might have been the same type of sriracha). It was delightful. The taste was not overwhelming and each bite felt fresh. Good portion size for the pricing. At some point between the hamachi and the tuna, we had our picture taken by a photographer that seems to be employed by the restaurant on occasion, and were offered a printout of our photo for $20. We took a look but opted against purchasing it at that time. The framing on the picture looked good though! Right as the tuna arrived, we were entertained by a magician (yes, you read that right) that had all sorts of card magic. I'm normally skeptical, but I have to admit that he was very good. Did a few tricks with the deck box as well. Extremely entertaining. I found the tuna to be good, albeit it being the weakest out of everything that we ordered, even though I found it to be the best plated dish. It was good, but the hamachi was so flavorful that it was hard to follow it up. The owner, Jenia, walked towards our table with a clear colored face mask and chatted us up for a bit to see how we were doing. I took it as an opportunity to practice my Russian and we laughed for a bit with it. She seems really involved in the business. Left with a great impression. Absolutely entertaining night. Spectacular service - Tracy was possibly the best server I have had in years. Everyone seems really engaged. Will be back in the near future.

This place has the cool outdoorsy vibe that makes for a perfect SoFlo Sunday brunch day! The food & drinks were incredible. I wish I would've gotten a picture of the apple dessert we ordered because it was the most delicious thing I've had in months. That's not to say that the buratta salad and mushroom flatbread were any less delicious - but the dessert PS the pink grapefruit drinks - strong second to the amazing food!!

Great experience for our first time! Weather was perfect to be seated outdoors. Relaxing atmosphere with cute decor inside and outside. Food was excellent! Decent portions for each dish and the food was served nice and hot. We ordered fried calamari, truffle fries, mussels, angus rib eye and seafood linguini. I really wanted to try the churrasco but it was not available. Note- they have karaoke Monday nights. We were glad we sat outside when it started.

Good food nice service, I'll go back soon! Went with some friends and we had a good time there, I really recommend this place. I had a good bday there and also the bar is really nice.

Finding a safe place to eat has been somewhat of a challenge since Miami started to open back up again, but the time had finally come to see boo boo again (Marilu F). We hadn't seen each other since before the lock down. Boo boo suggested The Guest, which I hadn't heard of before. After seeing some pics on Yelp, it seemed like a great choice. Their $10 tapas menu is what peaked my interest. Also, they happen to be located right next to Hiro. We opted to dine outdoors and didn't actually need a reservation. The place was empty when we arrived, but it was better to have a plan than none at all. The outdoor tables eventually filled up to about 50% capacity and with safe distancing in place. Tracy was our waitress and she wore a mask as she assisted us. She offered some useful recommendations for us from the menu since we were fairly indecisive. I started off with a classic Old Fashioned and boo boo ordered the Jewel Cosmopolitan. From the $10 Tapas Menu, we ordered the gynormous Roasted Eggplant topped with cheese and arugula. I really enjoyed this one. We also tried the Hamachi Tiradito and the Mussels and Fries. All were good except for the mussels, in particular, which we found to be just a little bland. Outside of the tapas menu, we ordered the Fiocchi Di Truffle at $24, because well... we love truffle. And this turned out to be the tastiest dish of the night for us. Highly recommend. For dessert, we chose the Creme Brulee, which was pretty good so no complaints there. All in all.. both boo boo and I really enjoyed the food and ambiance here at The Guest and would definitely return to try some other things.

I hadn't seen Neil C. since before quarantine started. Seeing as places have slowly been opening up with precautions, we opted to do one of our favorite things to do together: eat! I kept seeing The Guest over and over on Yelp, so I figured that would be a good place to go and try out. Ended up calling to make a reservation a few days before our outing and it really turns out we didn't need one. When we showed it, it was pretty empty. Tracy was our waitress. Very nice and efficient. She, along with the rest of the staff, was following proper protocol, so masks and gloves galore. Felt very safe, especially with dining outside. Neil and I opted to start our evening with some cocktails. The Jewel Cosmopolitan spoke to me as it essentially was a cranberry vodka in a cute glass. Drank it and it was refreshing. Meanwhile, Neil got an Old Fashioned and he seemed happy with that. In terms of food, we weren't as decisive. It took us a bit to finally settle on our items. Mussels and fries, roasted eggplant, hamachi tiradito, and fiocchi di truffle were our picks. With the exception of the fiocchi di truffle, all were $10 tapas. The fiocchi was nearly $30 but so very worth it! My favorite, if it wasn't obvious, was the fiocchi. One of the better dishes I've had in awhile. The roasted eggplant, too, was surprising with arugula and cheese, an odd but somehow winning combination. Had never had a hamachi tiradito before, but I enjoyed it and its sauce particularly. Now, as far as the mussels go, this is where I'm disappointed. The mussels were bland, but the fries were like little slices of heaven. After all that food, because really it didn't seem like a lot but seriously was, we ordered dessert. We settled on crème brûlée as we talked about love, life, and the pursuit of happiness. Well, maybe we didn't talk about all those things, but we did come up with the lovely phrase of "happy boo boo, happy life," and it just made the night more memorable. At any rate, I would definitely return. The only thing I would say is that I don't recommend the mussels and to be aware of your surroundings. Even with the GPS on, I was taken aback at where this was. It's not only next to Hiro's, but it's practically in Sunny Isles Beach. Getting into the plaza was a bit confusing, so for those directionally challenged like me, please be patient and arrive early. I guarantee you'll find something to love.

Saw this place on Check Please a long time ago but never made the time to go . Yesterday we were on 163rd street area and it came to mind so we decided to go. Got there around 6pm no wait sat outside very Good ambiance , while waiting for my better half to arrive I ordered the mushroom flatbread that was so amazing I almost ate the entire order before she got there . My wife ordered the burger and I ordered the Churrasco , all I can is I'm definitely going back . The steak was amazing seasoned perfectly and the burger was on-a brioche bun amazing . The only negative was the waiter , too serious kinda bad attitude . I noticed Someone came in and wanted to sit a party of 6 and the waiter said no it was reserved , meanwhile the place is empty , after insisting the waiter finally accepted but with a hook that only for an hour and a half , no way to talk to guests .

This was one of the first restaurants in my area that re-opened during the pandemic. I actually have bookmarked this way before the crisis so I'm pretty glad that they did. I came here with other fellow Elites and it did not disappoint. As expected, it wasn't busy at all. There were probably only 4 tables occupied including ours but nevertheless, we decided to brave it out. The owner (I assumed) immediately sat us and handed the menu. She mentioned the new tapas menu for $10 each and we said why not. We got the Mussels and Fries, Fresh Mozzarella Flatbread, Himachi Tiradito and Meatballs, and a couple of drinks. Everything was superb. Even the chef came out to make sure that we were satisfied. We told him that this new menu was a game-changer especially during this time. The owner also insisted that we try the Matcha Cake. It was OK. I'm not a matcha fanatic but my friends liked it a lot. We would definitely come back here, not just for the food but for the amazing service. You can't beat the $10 tapas. We just have to try the other items on the menu next time because the food was delicious.

Phenomenal. I can't say enough great things. I came here on a Wednesday night with a friend and loved everything about my experience. I was looking for a place that was gluten free, and their menu made it so easy to identify what I could have. For appetizers, we ordered the eggplant and cauliflower (although not labeled GF on the menu) - and I already knew we were in for a treat. I loveeed the goat cheese purée on the cauliflower and it was roasted to perfection. As a main course, I ordered the whole branzino and it was an experience! You could taste how fresh every single thing on the plate was, and the photo speaks for itself. I already have plans on coming here next week to bring another friend who wants the same exact thing. For someone who usually has a hard time finding delicious gluten free meals, you won't have that problem here. We finished with a delicious creme brûlée! On Wednesdays and Sundays they have live music outside, so I will definitely be coming back to explore the rest of the menu. Overall the ambiance, food and service was amazing, you won't regret coming here.

Pretty venue. But I 100% agree with the reviews saying the prices in person are inflated and different than what's seen online. And the food and drinks were average. Was also not a fan of how the 20 % auto tip is hidden In the taxes and I mistakenly tipped again. Not seen until I has a paper receipt. Sneaky IMO.

After a pre erstwhile hurricane beach walk Cecilia and I were trying to find a cozy and chill dinner spot in the North Miami/ Aventura area. After a little bit of Hialeah style maneuver by me, we became guests at The Guest. Hidden away in a strip mall off the service road to NE 167 St, , its patio dining , string lights and cover band definitely hit the cozy bill even in the era of distancing. Their menu is pretty varied whether you want pasta, chicken, beef or even seafood (which she enjoyed). Dessert was great as well. We started with a burrata salad with plenty of fresh arugula, perfectly salted prashoot and a creamy ball of mozzarella. Coated with what honey mustard dressing, it was large and tasty enough to serve as a great introduction. I also picked their ricotta and fig app, a tasty combination as well. On to the main course, you can guess what I ordered after a full day at the office :) Churrasco not only had a deliciously smoky aroma as it was being brought to the table but the taste with the chimichurri matched as well! Fries were house thick cut and tasted great, though I shared most of them to leave a spot for dessert. There was also some green stuff - actually tasty and fresh asparagus tips - that I enjoyed. The seafood pasta she ordered was visually well presented though of course I passed. Dessert was a delicious split between a tiramisu that blended sweet mascarpone and tart coffee (which I thought was chocolate) as well my creme brulee. The crust could have been a touch crispier but the filling was delicious. Service was outstanding, from explaining the menu (and that our waiter was also not a fan of seafood:) to getting her bug spray to deal with outside seating. Both our waiter and the manager came back, making us fee welcome. The singer covered a good balance of tracks, and I was lucky to get a good view of the pre rain moon. I'd definitely recommend!

Not at all what we expected but that's a good thing. It's in a strip mall and wasn't busy when we got there (around 7 on Friday night). Kind of funky looking but it doubles as a nightclub ish place later in the evening. Explains why it's open till 2am. That said, the food was amazing. Rack of lamb with grilled veggies for me and short ribs for my wife. We both loved what we ordered. All was cooked to perfection.

It was so nice to be able to sit outside and dine here. I liked the idea of "Farm to Table" concept. I am not sure the menu they had is a regular or limited one. But there were seafood, meat, and some pasta to choose from. They also have $10 appetizer selections. I couldn't decide between octopus and short ribs. The wait staff recommended the short ribs. So, I went with her suggestion. My husband had churrasco steak. The chimuchuri sauce was a bit soupy but he said it was good. My short ribs was tender but I felt a bit dry. Seafood salad had huge shrimps but I didn't like the creamy dressing. Outside is nicely decorated and had a nice breeze. If you are looking for a place to sit down and enjoy a nice food, you should try this place.

Tried this place for dinner just to try the truffle pasta dish that had amazing reviews. Reviews were definitely true! The pasta was perfect, great truffle flavor, sauce was delicious, portion was on the small side. Also tried the shishito peppers with sesame and ponzu sauce, wouldn't order again but still a decent small bite to share.

The food was below average, basically mall food, the service was ok, the ambiance was good. Only went one time. Note: my wife liked the food a bit more than me.

Tried it out on a packed Thursday night with live music. Waited a few minutes for a table. Thought the staff was very attentive and helpful with our questions. Both the burger and rib eye steak were fantastic. Home-made deserts are awesome, raspberry napoleon cake my fav. Seems like it might be a new DT hang out. Good music, nice patio and firendly vibe.

Food and drinks NOT good and NOT worth the price. $20 cocktails shouldn't be water down. Food had zero flavor. The only good thing is the weekend entertainment. But these inflated prices are all to cover the cost of the entertainment. I was led by the positive reviews on Yelp but geez was I steered wrong. Please avoid this tourist trap at all costs!

One of the most memorable days ever! Thank you so much, everything was very good! Pls consider building your personal online ordering and delivery service https://www.palomapos.com/online-ordering

The prices are much higher then shown. If your going to charge 20+ for a drink, make it worth it. The food was just ok. If I were a new owner, I would hit it out of the park. Portions of meat were small compared to prices for a local place.

We loved our dinner at The Guest. We were the first to arrive that evening so had the choice of any place to sit, and decided to enjoy the warm weather in the outdoor seating. Cocktails were delicious and creative, our grilled Branzini was amazing, and we loved the beets and burrata salad along with the charred shishito peppers. Our server was friendly and attentive, and made some great recommendations about what to try. For what we ate and drank the price wasn't inexpensive, but it wasn't over the top either - we felt like it was a good value compared to similar restaurants we tried in the area.

I called and placed a pickup order on a Saturday night. You get 20% off your order when you pick it up! They do offer delivery, but then you don't save the 20%. We had the following items: meatballs: these are flavorful and moist. The sauce is super fresh. pesto pasta: I love this pesto. It is delicious on top of the linguine. bolognese pappardelle: freshly made sauce over delicious wide noodles Everything was packaged nicely. The husband and wife were doing the cooking and packaging the meals! Please make sure to support local businesses during this time.

Guests should never overstay their welcome but tonight we chose to as The Guest and their staff really showed us a great time as we tried several of their delicious culinary varieties of what was a combination of American dishes with a Mediterranean Influence and everything we enjoyed had a special difference in preparation, texture and ingredients. Never had we spent so much time sitting at a bar anywhere to eat and drink, but it was a 3 hour ordeal we really enjoyed. My wife and I got there at around 5:00 when The Guest was just opening and as we walked up to the outdoor seating area, the beautiful inside dining area and bar was completely in sight, a mixture of dark and light wood toned tables and bar, earth tones all around and very interesting table and chair settings, with colorful upholstered cushioned chairs mixed in with dark wood chairs at the same table. They had two beautifully set 8 top tables and everything was spaced out nicely for a simple, comfortable and inviting look. Green plants hung from the ceiling which really added a tough of nice color to the dining room. Everything was simple and inviting. The open kitchen and bar surrounded the whole dining room. We always like to sit at the bar and this bar was especially nice and comfortable. We were so lucky to meet Liz, our server at the bar who had so much knowledge of where she worked and specifics about the menu and answered any questions we had. We are big wine drinkers and she let us try a couple wines, and ended up ironically with one of HER favorites, a Tuscan, beautifully balanced wine, Villa Puccin 2015 which had a great Old World taste to it. We ordered a bottle and savored it all night. We started out with a couple of small dishes to share. The Happy Hour Cheese Board went perfect with our wine; a nice combination of 4 cheeses, fig jam and nuts. Also served with a nice crusty bread. My wife loved the Brussel Sprouts, sautéed and served with almonds, honey and balsamic glaze. My favorite starter dish: The Beef Skirt Steak Skewers. The scallion sauce was incredible with this, as every bite we dipped right into it. Never had quite anything like it. Last but definitely not least, and I never pass up Grilled Octopus. The Octopus here is the most tender and tasty I have ever had. The whole tentacle served with chick peas had great flavors in this dish and was fabulous. Getting down to business, I wanted to try some of the dishes I had seen and read about, and even though I pick my days of eating pasta carefully, I had to try the Gnocchi Pasta with a truffle cream sauce, four great cheeses including Smoked Pecorino and topped with porcini mushrooms ( Gnocchi Al Tartufo ). If you love truffle, I really recommend this. Perfect size portion and served with Parmesan Cheese to top it off. If you decide on a pasta night, this is the dish to order. My wife ordered the special: Grilled Snapper topped with sautéed spinach, sun dried tomatoes in a lemon butter. This dish was also served with a fennel sauce, which my wife left off. The Snapper melted in your mouth and the sun dried tomatoes was a nice touch of flavor. After this fantastic experience and 2 1/2 hours with Liz, leave it to The Guest to blow away this evening with their incredible Chocolate Bomb desert. A vanilla cream with chunks of chocolate cake, coated with a magnificent hard chocolate shell and not just for presentation, but also flavor, they poured a flamed Sambuca liquor on top to melt the chocolate. It even had a large "wick' sticking out of the shell to make it look like a bomb. Not only was that a great presentation (see video), but the Sambuca and Chocolate combo made it irresistible and had to finish it. So after a fantastic 3 hour experience at The Guest, I must thank Jenia and Billy, the owners, Tracey, and all the management who made us feel at home. Special thanks to Liz who really made this day so special. I never enjoyed myself for that length of time at any eating establishment. To top it off there is live entertainment on Wednesday and Sunday, a live DJ on Saturday and one other week day. Happy Hour menu is GREAT on Monday-Friday from 5-7 pm. with discounts on some wines, Champagne, beer and Moscow Mules. The Guest likes to have special theme nights with music. Word has it, that BRUNCH is coming!!! The Guest is the perfect name!!!

I went early on a Saturday for a brunch and the restaurant had a dance instructor for the customers. A lot of fun in a nice place. Excellent food and good service.

Come as a guest, leave as a friend is their motto and let me tell you, this is true. The experience I had at The Guest exceeded my expectations and I truly felt like I was guest in someone's house. The guest is a new hidden gem in the corner of a plaza in North Miami Beach slightly across from Oletta Park. The minute I walked in, I was blown away by the ambiance, decorations and overall setting. It is dim with lots modern wood decoration, lots of green tones and even some tasteful graffiti on one of the walls. They have a beautiful wall with plants that are all real. There's a slight open kitchen and also an area for the pastry chef to bake their daily breads, pastries and cake and yes everything is made in house. They have live music Wednesday nights and also will host some entertainment other nights of the week as well (stay tuned). Ok about the food which is the real reason that I am here. If I could give it more stars, I would. The Guest specializes in Farm to Table cuisine and most of the food is locally sourced. Everything was delicious and I mean it. The following is what we ordered: Burrata: arugula, apricots, red peppers, prosciutto di parma. This fresh burrata platter was excellent. What took it over the top was the apricots. I have never tried that combination of apricots, burrata & prosciutto. Octopus: giant beans, onions, olives, tomatoes, sherry vinaigrette. The octopus was tender and the flavors of the light vinaigrette brought everything together. Fantastic! Tuna Tartare: avocado, peppers, ginger, sesame seeds. If I recall they told me it was made with Blue Dolphin and another type of fish. You can taste the freshness of the fish. Served with a side of pita. Excellent. Meatballs: angus ground beef, lamb, fresh mozzarella, basil. I had never had the combination of beef and lamb in meatballs and I must say, it was delicious. A little bit of cheese but not too much and served with a slice of bread for the dip. If you like meatballs, get this. Ravioli: duck confit, apple, radicchio. One of my favorite dishes of the night. I am not a duck lover but the flavors in this dish left me speechless. Also not a heavy pasta dish, serving is just right. 100% Lamb Chops: crusted with pistachio, roasted cauliflower, port reduction. Get this medium-rare if you can. The lamb was tender and the flavors from the pistachio and port reduction made this lamb exquisite. Dessert: Sunny Side Up: panacotta, mango sauce, orange cake. This creative dessert looks like you're having breakfast for dessert. The pana cotta is shaped like an sunny side egg. If you like pana cotta and get this! Avocado Lime Mousse: Vegan/gluten free/ sugar free. This beautifully plated dessert is on the tart side. It is perfect for someone that does not like too much sweet. It has a citrus and slight avocado flavor. Chocolate Bomb: dark chocolate, amarena cherry, vanilla cream. This dessert was the bomb and also my favorite! This dessert is interactive, you get to break the chocolate bomb and inside you find a surprise of cherries, chocolate cake and vanilla cream. Such a surprise and such a treat! To drink I had some bubbly with a cherry inside and also a delicious Skinny Margarita. I could have had more of those, it was so good and light with the salted rim. The Guest is on my top list of favorite restaurants in Miami and my daughter enjoyed it so much that she wants to host her birthday there (says a lot). The Guest is not a place to rush, it is a place to enjoy real good food and the ambiance. The service was top notch and the waiters explained everything to us in detail. They have indoor and outdoor seating with outdoor lighting and even have Hookah. I also love how this location is away from the busy and cliché city of Miami and away from the crowds. Also parking is free at the shopping mall plaza. Enjoy the experience and be their guest at The Guest! PRO-TIP: check in on Yelp to receive a FREE glass of champagne or select wine!!!!

My mom loves this place. Also great for quick stop to get something in 15 min. The food is as delicious as can be!!!

Wow!!! The best burger! This is the only place in Florida where I eat burgers.!! The best

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. 6 stars for food, service and atmosphere. Best to come 8pm or later for entertainment

I had a wonderful dinner at the Guest. The food was delicious and fresh. I ordered the calamari, mussels, wings, fries and cauliflower side dish. I absolutely loved the cauliflower! It was made with goat cheese and extremely flavorful. The portions are really generous so that is extremely helpful when sharing with a group or family. We decided to order the crème brûlée for dessert and it was AMAZING! I also have to mention that the service was outstanding! My waitress was so attentive and helpful. They cleared the table after each course and always asked if we needed anything. I had a wonderful time and will definitely be returning!

Excellent experience all around! From stepping foot inside the restaurant you are transported into a completely different atmosphere. The decor is beautiful and tropical complete with an enclosed patio area outside to enjoy a nice night. From beginning to end the service was outstanding, waters always full, plates and silverware changed for each course, dirty plates taken immediately. Now for the food, it was amazing all around. The highlight for me was the octopus. It's hard to find good octopus out there, I've had more bad than good experiences when ordering this dish and this was one of the best I've had in Miami. We also ordered burrata and tuna tartare as an appetizer which were fantastic as well. For our main courses we ordered the lamb and the meatballs. I'm not a huge fan of lamb but this one was good even for someone who isn't a lamb lover. All the food is extremely fresh which shows in the flavors of each dish. Overall, this new restaurant is definitely a must, I left impressed and eager to come back and try more.

What a great treat! I love being able to go out to dinner and have a great service with a smile. When the food is good that's even better. A perfect date night with salmon tartare, absolutely fresh and delicious. Then we had the grilled trout which I would go back for again and again. What an excellent dish, a healthy option and you can eat the whole fish. Comes with sautéed spinach and a Mediterranean style salsa which is basically olives tomatoes olive oil mingled in a delicious mix. For two people it was a perfect portion but also enough for one if you're not having dessert. Thankfully we had dessert which was out of this world, truly! The chocolate mousse cake with ice cream and raspberries was beyond my expectations. Nutella filled delicious yummy perfection. The crème brûlée was also perfect and had a crunchy sugar tong as it should be. This is the perfect spot for locals and visitors to have an excellent meal at excellent prices with friendly service.

Like this place so much! One of my favourite dine in spots in Sunny Isles. Been here several times - the food are always delicious, the waitresses are always accommodating and helpful. I'm a big fan of the Branzino fish here! It's delicious and very big . Very nice atmosphere in the evening, everyday they have a live music playing Jazz! Great place to spend time with friends and family, definitely will come back over and over again;)!

I'm a sucker for GREAT HOOKAH & ABOVE AVERAGE service. The Guest, despite the minimal reviews (which we rely on) we took a risk and WE LOVED IT. This review is not on their food but on their service, hookah & entertainment. Pasha (our server) Eduard (hookah master) & Fabian (entertainment) were amazing. I will definitely be back. The hookah was smooth & flavorful & fairly priced. Highly recommend.

Came in on Saturday night the host sat me in a great spot, Nobody waited on me for 10 minutes (terrible) Pablo came and was kind and tried to accommodate some menu items were out, but he was on his A game to serve us. Loved the food here- small and petite portions to be shared everything I ordered was great with good music. More of a casual party vibe with more high end (can be pricey) food - but great quality food .

I really enjoyed my time at this establishment. We sat outside and felt comfortable for the most part as far as social distancing is concerned. We started off with the mushroom flatbread, which was delicious. Then we got the brie with salad and fig spread. I loved combination of flavors, it was on point. Later we got to prosciutto, and it was an excellent pairing with our drinks.For dinner we had churrasco with fries ordered medium well and it came out exactly as requested. For dessert we have a Nutella molten cake, this was definitely our favorite of all of the dishes. There was a side of raspberries which set it off. I would 100% recommend this place and would come back in a heartbeat.

To avoid Mother's Day crowds and bad weather I took my grandfather out for brunch on Saturday. I made a reservation through open table for 11 and arrived right on time only to be turned away because they open at 12. Frustrating but I needed a car wash and she had never tried Krispy Kreme so crises averted. We re-arrived at 12 and we're greeted by very kind and accommodating (changed seats to get out the Sun) staff. The menu is not too long and not too short. Everyone find something they wanted and everyone enjoyed their meals. I got the Fiocchi di Truffle, it was really good, my only complain is that there wasn't much of it. I was just under the level of "satisfied but not full". My grandmother and boyfriend both got the steak and eggs. One got it med/well and the other med/rare, both were happy with the outcome. Midway in our meals, a guitarist began performing. He was amazing, it was such a nice touch. We ordered the bottomless mimosas, for only $15 we got to a perfect tipsy level and didn't get any headache from "cheap bubbles". We also ordered the creme brulee and the Nutella lava cake, both hit the spot. I will definitely be back to try the dinner or to just sit at the bar, the inside is a total vibe. Overall The Guest is a local gem and perfect for a chill brunch or for a family outing!!

I've heard about this place but never really had the chance to go so when a friend from out of town asked to go there (bc of gluten-free options) I jumped on it! It's in a plaza so there's plenty of parking. It's in a corner so you feel cozy and tucked in. Additionally they have a wall plants that blocks the view of the parking lot - honestly didn't even realize where we were! The service was very friendly and quick. Our server was very attentive- kept checking in on us even when we needed more time to catch up. The menu was good & the food was tasty. I looked at other reviews on Yelp and they were pretty spot on with their recommendations - the braised short rib was delicious! Will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

What a hidden gem!!! Love coming here on Mondays for their karaoke night , OMG their cocktails are amazing

Not a fan. I have been a couple of times and the food was lackluster and support staff, less than accommodating. I understand there may have been a change in ownership recently. I will try again with the anticipation that things have improved.
