The Restaurant at W South Beach

We were here after the Longines global champions tour. That's why we didn't reserve a table in advance. We were quickly seated at the table. A very decent institution for the quality of food and waiter service. The hostesses leave much to be desired ( The quality of food and drinks is excellent. Our dog was kindly immediately offered a bowl of water. And in general, the waiters were very nice and helpful.

The restaurant at south beach was very good. Drinks, appetizers and main course were all done perfect. The only reason its not a 5 star is because they should of told us that outside close to the building theres no lighting so it was a little difficult to eat. If you sit inside or under a well lit area you will have a great time.

The location is very nice and the staff was friendly. I got a Pizza 4 cheese, it was ok by italian pizza standard. The bread as a starter was good. Price: it’s not cheap but ok for Miami Beach. for 3 people we spent $156

Great menu, with local/latin american inspirations. Produce is fresh, staff is friendly and pro. A little pricey but hey it's miami. The mocktails are great !

The west coast oysters were delighted. The mahi sandwich was fresh and tasty but I was very disappointed at the soggy bottom bun, it was terrible. The Margherita pizza was ok... wish the basil was more pungent and the evoo. The watermelon salad was fresh and tasty.

Absolutely amazing food and top notch service. Can’t say enough about how wonderful our server Mark was, he took our dining experience to another level. Highly recommend The Restaurant at W South Beach!

The Restaurant at W South Beach delivers a flawless five-star dining experience with chic ambiance, exceptional service, and a menu that masterfully blends luxury and flavor.

This place is expensive- but the food is worth it. Every breakfast item we had was REALLY good - afterwards we laid out by the pool & the service to our chairs was incredible. All the wait staff was really lovely. If you’re looking to splurge a bit on great brunch food & amazing vibes - this place is lovely

Really enjoyed spending the morning here with my friends as we enjoyed cafecito, matcha and breakfast bites. Everything here was great, I tried the veggie omelette, with a side of fruits and stole some bites of the breakfast burrito my friend had with some roasted potatoes... delish! I had a basic black coffee, can't really go wrong and my friends had the matcha, the warmer matcha was amazing. I really enjoyed the outdoor seating and the options to sit outdoors with some shade. Perfect seating!

This was by far the best lunch we had in all of Miami. Being from New England I've had a lot of lobster rolls but this lobster roll is easily in the top 3 of best lobster rolls I've ever had. We ended up sitting on the patio and despite very strong winds it was very calm. Service was good and the lemonade was fresh. We were there during the Taylor swift eras tour weekend and the restaurant and hotel had a bracelet making station going on which was really cute.

This review is for breakfast/brunch. If they can't get that right, I'm not going to try them for dinner. The menu is very basic (nothing inventive at all), and the food is very average for the price. The coffee is too bitter though the espresso is fine. The service is below average even by SoBe standards and, of course, they include a 20% service charge no matter the level of (poor) service. Even if you order brunch, you'll wait forever for coffee, which you have to order from the nearly non-existent wait staff. When I stay at the W, I walk to Orange Blossom across the street or Uber to Yardbird. Much, much better food, service and pricing.

The Restaurant at W South Beach is one of those restaurants in Miami that looks great from the outside with no substance. From the outside, the hotel is luxurious, fancy, and right in the heart of South Beach. The restaurant is also "sleek" and "vibrant" with elegant designs and lavish furniture for both indoor and outdoor dining areas. However, I believe that one should always be skeptical of big named, trendy restaurants that are overtly decorative and question whether the quality of the service and food are on par with their flashiness. My suspicions were correct with the Restaurant at the W. The Restaurant at the W South Beach is an Italian-American restaurant that serves "Caribbean-inspired New American dishes." I truly enjoyed how fancy it was because it's nice to go out, dress up, and treat yourself once in a while. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the food. It was good but I was expecting greatness because of The W's hype. The quality and taste of the food did not match the extravagant prices of the dishes as well. Overall, I had an ok experience. From now on, I believe it's best to have low expectations for flashy restaurants. You'll feel lavish only for a short amount of time until you realize you are not getting your money's worth (make sure you do your research beforehand!!) WHAT I ATE (not all dishes listed below) Aperol Spritz Garlic Bread Rolls Raw Oysters Mignonette - daily selection of oysters with horseradish, fresh citrus chutney, prosecco mignonette, and cocktail sauce Spaghetti "Cacio E Pepe"

Spent the day on the beach with friends and worked up an appetite for food and cocktails. We walked into RWSB and it was the perfect post-beach vibe. I ordered a burger, and a spicy mezcal cocktail. Both where delicious and I absolutely loved the fries. If you're on the beach, this is a great spot to enjoy a casual lunch but with some great ambiance. I've also been on another occasion and tried the ceviche and hanger steak - neither of them disappointed. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and you can valet at the W. I have always had luck finding parking in the metered lot in front of the W, which is why I find myself here for a post-beach day bite often!

This is for dinner service at RWSB. Disgusting is the only word I have for it. $83 for 2 small plates of inedible pasta. Had the rigatoni with bolognese and the linguine with clams. I actually don't even know how you can make pasta this bad. Dried noodles and prego would far exceed the quality of what we were served. No flavor. Bolognese was like cat food. A rip off.

The food and services is very below standard. A 2 star motel food is better. The coffee is like water and fruits went bad . The worst ever I found it was operated by "Think Hospitality " which recently started and made everything much worse. I would never order any food or beverage from them.

I'm not sure I'd travel a huge distance out of my way to dine here, but as lazy schmucks who found this restaurant exceedingly convenient, we ended up dining here (or having food from there delivered pool / beach side) far too frequently. The restaurant replaced Andrew Carmellini's The Dutch in 2019 or 2020, after its ten year run (and an Italian American restaurant before that, IIRC). It wasn't initially high on our bookmarked list of places to try, to be honest -- but we were happily surprised by almost everything we had. The "Italian" ceviche (blood orange and lime marinated corvina, cherry tomatoes, capers, olives, oregano, Calabrian chili; $22) was excellent, probably among the best ceviche preparations we've had in South Beach in recent years. The fish was evenly medium diced with all tough fibers removed and I always appreciate the great knife work that goes into this. It was perfectly marinated (neither over- nor under "cooked" in acid), well balanced and tender, not at all fishy. We had this multiple times, and even prepared for poolside consumption, this was attractively plated. The tuna tartare (capers, lemon olive oil, shallot, cucumber carpaccio; $24) was the best we tried on our recent trip. I'm not sure whether there's some nefarious culinary trend towards gross overdressing going on in the area, but this was the only version (of many spendy versions) we tried in the Miami region this time that included truly fresh tuna, left unadulterated enough to taste. The fish was enhanced by gently lemon-infused olive oil, served with puffed rice or rice and prawn crackers. There was some sort of thick, orange-colored sauce on the side, but it was easy to ignore. Insalata della casa (field greens, shaved garden vegetables, citrus, white balsamic dressing, goat cheese; $19) included simply, not overwhelmingly, dressed, impeccably fresh vegetables (including cucumbers, radish, carrot), the slightest touch of chevre. Fine, not something I'd write home about. The meatballs (beef and pork; pomodoro sauce, whipped ricotta cheese; $18) were fair, made very firm rather than loose, but they still soaked in enough of the good tomato sauce to be enjoyable. A side of broccolini (garlic olive oil, Calabrian chili, toasted breadcrumbs; $10) was prepared -- blandly boiled or steamed -- to a firm texture... It was edible, but not delicious to any of us. I didn't detect any chili, Calabrian or not. But enough of the broccolini made it into our kids that it accomplished its purpose and we couldn't complain. The two house-made pastas we tried were both strong showings: Pappardelle bolognese (three meat ragu, pecorino cheese; $24) was particularly noteworthy, cooked to a pleasant al dente texture and nicely dressed with a generous amount of flavorful sauce. Spaghetti cacio e pepee (Tuscan pecorino, parmesan, cracked black pepper, extra virgin oil; $24) was pleasantly creamy and cheesy, successfully sold as a spaghetti-like version of macaroni and cheese to the under-10 contingent. All of the many breakfast, lunch and kids' menu items; the cocktails (weak; ask for an extra shot of liquor if you're a lush like me); smoothies (be aware there's a lot of sugar added); juices; and desserts we tried were competently made. Well done, RWSB. In our view, it's earned a catchier name.

Great restaurant inside the W. Excellent service as always. Great good dishes and some very nice signature drinks.

Pretty good restaurant with nice environment. The tuna tartare was delicious. The daily catch (mahi-mahi) was less tender but the burger was very juicy. We ordered the cold press juice but it turned out that it was pre-packed and jot fresher made. I would say the restaurant has better environment than food.

Attached is the photo of the salad I ate 4 meals in a row. I actually miss it. Warm, fresh chicken was basically a hug on top of lettuce, endive, tomatoes and red wine vinaigrette . Double shaved Parmesan and a side of fries and I was whole again. I'm a better person having eaten here! If I was local, I would be there regularly. Thank you RWSB for taking care of me!!

I take my ribeye opinion very seriously, I've championed the same steakhouse in rural New Hampshire for 6 years without fail... this restaurant was the best steak I've ever had, they absolutely blew it out of the water! I've eaten a lot of fine dining and I can honestly say this was bar none. When I was young I worked at The W: South Beach, so I wanted to spend my birthday at RWSB now that I'm within better means, it was incredible. The hotel is incredible, and RWSB goes above and beyond.

Our waiter, Stephen greeted us and took our order of three entrees and an appetizer. They served 2 entrees and 1 appetizers as the main entrees. After mentioning the mistake, they said they would correct the issue and bring out the missing entree. Thirty minutes later, after everyone was done eating, the final entree was delivered. We received our $300 bill, which had a 20% surcharge added without our knowledge. I expected better from a hotel located in the W Hotel in South Beach. I don't plan on returning.... And if you haven't been, take a pass.

Visited during Miami Spice & had an excellent & delicious three course dinner. I always enjoy stays at W hotels & I knew the restaurant would live up to expectations. Well RWSB exceeded expectations. The space has indoor & outdoor seating & the decor is modern & trendy. The service was impeccable & the staff worked as a team. I started my meal with lobster etoufee that came with a crispy rice cake & black beans. The appetizer was reminiscent of New Orleans gumbo. My entree was the red snapper stewed & served with coconut dumplings & a sweet potato purée, boy the chef hit a home run. The snapper was flavorful & perfectly pan seared. For desert I had the carrot cake that had lime rum sauce & a cool coconut sorbet. Overall, an amazing experience & amazingly delicious food. I look forward to my next visit.

The food here is so refreshing and tasty. More importantly, the service is phenomenal! Ariel took great of us!

Came here as it was across the park from my accommodation. This was for breakfast hours. Had a late start but they managed to let us in before they close at 11:30am for breakfast. A little bummed we couldn't sit outside since it was a nice day but had most of the indoor space to ourselves. Ordered some buttermilk pancakes and my bf ordered a steak burrito. He really enjoyed the premium-ness of it that you probably cannot find at your average jo I-Hop. The pancakes were satisfying and thin so it wasn't super gluttonous but nothing special I'd go out of my way for. They have a lot of yummy jams you can put on your pancakes as well so that was delicious in addition to syrup. A more premium experience and not really a good value type restaurant but if you enjoy a more luxurious setting this would be your spot with more premium ingredients in more typical breakfast fare! No parking as far as I saw if you're curious about that - probably have paid valet or street parking that is most likely pay by hour!

The best expensive burger I've had. 2 burgers, 1 hot chocolate, 1 tea...and 1 side of bacon=$100 Yes it's not a five guys price but it's definitely not a five guys burger...it was actually VERY good!! Super convenient since we stayed at the W. So clean and great ambiance! The staff was super attentive and friendly

Called in to place a pick up order, the gentleman on the line was nice and helpful, guided me through the menu. Ended up ordering a delicious lasagna with an awesome cesar Salad. Pick up was easy and efficient ! Thank you guys for being open during these tough times :)

Very good for a hotel restaurant! It's somewhat hidden to the side, but is worth a look. There is outside seating as well as an attractive interior/bar area. The hostess sat me promptly outside and the service was pleasant if somewhat spotty. They forgot my wine order and certain requests took a while to fulfill. I have a sense some of the wait staff is rather green, but the general manager is good at directing key actions. The food was, again, very good. I was pleasantly surprised with the brightness and variety of oysters, the shrimp cocktail has an interesting twist with the cumin, and the entree salads with fish of the day are very good. Everything was plated nicely and presented with some gusto. I enjoyed the flavors and my red snapper was cooked and seasoned perfectly, with a nice flakiness while maintaining the buttery flavor for which this fish is so well known.

I don't recommend you to go here. I was expecting too much from a restaurant in a big name hotel. We waited 1 hr for our food to be served after ordering. Our waitress didn't seem to care to check on our food or even ask how we were doing. The service at our table was terrible. The food is not even that good, not worth your money. It kinda ruined our night.

Great service and food Quiet area, better than lincoln road Really enjoy the octopus, very beautiful taste

I was very impressed with the food. My chicken and rice plate was amazing and I really want to give them 5 stars but the service was just not all there. When the server is not to be found half the night it can really kill the vibe.

Ordered the pappardelle bolognese, was very delicious. Bread was amazing, our waiter was very attentive and checked up on us often. Definitely difficult to find within the hotel itself, the bar next door had a great energy based on what we could see from the restaurant.

Came here for breakfast and thought I was in the twilight zone. The service was so bad it was almost comical. Almost... except we were starving. How is this a five star hotel? Started with the hostess moving at snails pace playing around with the iPads asking us five times for our name and room number although we had already told them that we were not staying at the hotel. They bring us outside where there were no clean tables and no bussers to be found to clean the tables. We were standing there for ten minutes when finally the hostess attempted to clean the table. Did not even wipe it down. Took another fifteen minutes to get water and that was after we had to stop the hostess two times. I think the whole wait staff quit or got really high this AM. Everyone that worked here was walking like they were so lost and had no idea where they were. Can not recommend.

Great food and service. Our server Ariel was fantastic and provided excellent service throughout our meal.

This restaurant is slow and dead the hostess is unprofessional don't spend money here me and my husband won't be going back

This restaurant is hidden inside the W hotel... almost gave up looking for it, but I'm glad I found it! Jackie was an amazing server, and Roman was very attentive to us as well! The "Florida catch" mahi mahi was cooked so perfectly, and the Wagyu Beef Tartar appetizer was a little pricey but worth it. We aren't staying at the hotel but I recommend the restaurant as a nice treat to dinner while in Miami Beach.

Absolutely Horrible Experience!!! Arrived at the W yesterday after delayed flights and it was too late to go to Joes Stone Crab. Called this restaurant and asked if they had Jumbo or Colossal Stone Crab with similar sauce to Joe's and the receptionist had no idea what I was talking about and just wanted to get me off the phone. I asked her to find out and she came back confirming they did so I said I would be right over for dinner. When I arrived my wife asked if we could sit at a table on the patio and a waiter rudely said they were closing it when many other tables were still dining there. However another waiter sat us at the requested table. What a surprise, they didn't have Colossal Stone Crab, in fact all they had to serve were medium size and I would never typically order them but gave it a try. Not great but what was worse is that the sauce was terrible. Someone needs to go to Joe's and learn how to make the sauce because theirs was terrible. In fact I make it all the time back home because you just need to Google Joes Stone Crab Sauce and follow a simple recipe with few ingredients and it's awesome. Don't try to make it better than Joes because it will fail as was the case with this terrible sauce. There was another waiter named Roman that saved the day to some degree because he was very personable and accommodating. Too bad he wasn't our waiter. We ordered drinks that we waited a long time for and finally arrived after our meal was served. When dinner was over and we received a bill (before asking for it) of over $300 for oysters and a few terrible stone crab, we asked for a cappuccino and the waiter said the machine was broken so I asked for coffee but that was broken also. Clearly there is no excuse for not being able to serve coffee, I'm not stupid, this guy just wanted to go home and customer service was a waste of his time. Next up, a few minutes later my son came to see my wife and I at the table and was hungry. I asked for the menus and the waiter said that they were no longer serving but we can go to the living room. I said that if he is sure we can order at the living room that's fine but if not I want to order something for my son and the waiter confirmed. Can you imagine what happened next? Your right, we arrived at the living room and they were no longer serving anything to eat. So in conclusion, I would never go back to this restaurant or recommend it to anyone. It's a total waste of time and money in a city where there are so many great places to dine where there is a excellent cuisine and good service.

We had an excellent meal, grilled octopus and prosciutto with burrata apps were spot on. Entrees were very well prepared, wait staff was friendly and service was excellent. Highly recommend!

We stayed at the W hotel, and had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at this restaurant. There is plenty of choices. Food is delicious; service is wonderful; the atmosphere is relaxing. Breakfast buffet has everything, freshly squeezed orange juice, omelette station, waffle, salmon, assorted cheese and charcuterie, fruit etc. With 40% discount the check was $71 for two for the buffet, including tax and 20% service charge. For dinner we had the hanger steak and Florida catch. We had a late lunch and ordered margarita pizza and lobster roll. All was wonderful. Highly recommend this place.

We had a great dinner at RWSB, service was amazing especially with Roman and Nehomi. They took great care of us. Food was good an ld more than enough, even with the Miami spice menu, size of plates were the same as regular menu. Atmosphere is cosy. We will be back soon !

Expected much better from a restaurant attached to the W brand. Food was cafeteria quality at best. I ordered the pizza of the day which turned out to be soggy and tasteless. My wife ordered the catch of the day - a completely tasteless mahi mahi. The W should be embarrassed to charge $70+ for 2 such poor meals.

I would like to start off with a positive. The service was amazing, my friends and i enjoyed Ricky, Eve, And Ed for our breakfast. However the management walking around seemed very frazzled and confused and very cold. Not one time did they ask how we are doing just mean cold faces and straight faced!! Good luck trying to get help from anyone other than a server or Busser! Also the food has way to much oil. But again the servers were amazing!

Amazing food and unmatched service. We arrived with the threat of rain but still wanted to try eating outside. The hostess was gracious and helpful and even checked in on us when it did rain Wb em though we were completely covered. Our server Ricky was friendly and knowledgeable. Kyle Shaw the manager was all hands on deck. He worked tirelessly to make sure his guests were comfortable and happy. Amazing experience.

I was at this restaurant last week. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, that why we pick W hotel's restaurant. Restaurant is clean, and well designed but food is so bad. They have to be more creative. It was not pleasure to eat that. I never ever go back to eat. I DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone. Employees are good.

We were so impressed with the service and professionalism of the staff. They obviously enjoyed what they were doing and had great selections with accurate descriptions of what to expect. The timing and presentation was perfect. Our waiter was Allen and Mr. Grater provided a special evening.

I was promised an outside table but they could not sit us there because of a special event they were having. Empty but wanted to shove us in a corner. Menu sucked and prices were $$$. Be sure tovread their very limited menu.

This is a great place to enjoy the ambiance. The service is outstanding in particular Roman and the food is sooo good that you will dream about it. Chef Mario was responsible for the outstanding dinner my family enjoyed. This will be one of my favorite restaurants from now on.

After a really bad flight experience I just wanted to check into my hotel and have a mimosa and a cup of coffee... I walked in and I was seated immediately and then I was served by Aury... Aury was awesome! I ordered and got my food immediately and exactly how I like it! No mistakes and the refills just kept coming just like I asked her too! I think this vacation can be saved after all!

A perfect breakfast spot. Inside or outside on a shaded terrace Contemporary and intimate settings. Loved it for a morning coffee and delicious food!! Great buffet and great service!! Aury, my server was most delightful.

We came here to eat for lunch, it was a special occasion for our family and the food is so good, great service and ambience. We had ricotta ravioli and catch of the day as one of our dishes, key lime pie for dessert and it was amazing. We definitely be back here for dinner.

Came here to eat for brunch on a Sunday and it was an amazing experience! My friend and I were greeted warmly and taken to our table outside. Our server was on point and polite. The food was absolutely delicious; I ordered the French toast and my friend ordered the Salmon plate. I highly recommend!
