Cobey Flynn: Great cafe in the lobby fresh fruit juices, espresso bar, and house made cookies.
Travel Channel: Tony loves this offbeat and slightly dysfunctional refuge. Talk to Crispy, the concierge. He knows just about everything about Miami. As seen on Travel Channel’s The Layover with Anthony Bourdain.
Juicy Couture: The most classic deco hotel in town. The pool is probably the most beautiful in Miami. And lunch al fresco is a fun afternoon moment.

Kelly: It goes without saying that the bread bowls are spectacular. In the morning I love to stop and get the super fruit smoothie and the Mediterranean egg white sandwich. It's delicious.
Michael Yablonicky: Broccoli cheddar soup is nuts!
Jessica Flores: If manager Sean is there, bring headphones. He'll be shouting at his staff the entire time. You're the manager of a bakery chain, not a hedge fund manager on wall st. Relax!

Burcu Yuruyen: Lobster salad was delicious👍🏻 finish the meal with ananas sorbe 😇💕
Ahmed Nashar: Elegant place, charming staff and great food. I highly recommend the Yellow Tail & Jalapeño and the Coconut-Macadamia Shrimp. Wait theCoconut-Macadamia Shrimp is super good. 😋
Erin James: Great food! The biscuits are heavenly, ribs are on point, if you like okra it's good too! Mac & Cheese could use some salt and pepper.
Eater: Yardbird opened as an immediate success with everyone flocking for fried chicken and green tomatoes, washed down with a bourbon concoction. [EAter 38 Member]
Thrillist: Started by Top Chef-er Jeff McInnis, this bar plates comfort food like sweet tea-brined ribs soaked in BBQ and pickled chilies. Their fried chicken with citrus pepper watermelon is the jam. Read more.
