This was hands down our favorite restaurant and meal of our trip! My fiancé and I come to South Beach a few times a year and are big foodies, so we always love to try new restaurants. Being on the waterfront and having a good seafood selection is what drew us in. The steak empanadas and seafood paradilla was amazing, probably the best prawns and empanadas we ever had. We will definitely come back on a future trip.

Excellent Thanksgiving lunch. We had a three course meal. I had amazing scallops for the appetizer, entree was a delicious turkey (dark and white meat), the stuffing was fantastic and best for last the incredible pumpkin desert. Service was impeccable. Le Jardiniere is our favorite restaurant in the Design District and one of the best in Miami.

Food was outstanding and far more than one could eat. Service was perfectly attentive - not hovering but there every time you needed them. It was a bit crowded. And finding a parking space was an adventure and expensive but other than that a magical experience.
