Awesome experience at Michael’s Genuine! Food, waitress, hostess were all outstanding! I spotted an error on menu for my favorite pricey wine ($75 vs $750) and Michael let us have it for the listed price! Will certainly return soon!

Outstanding culinary experience! The servers were so accommodating, entertaining with our daughter, knowledgeable and customizing the menu to our preferences! The meals served, best in Miami! The snapper, the lobster and wagyu dumplings were our favourites. Beautiful setting, lovely atmosphere and such a personalized approach to the customers! Best dining experience in Miami comparing this culinary experience with Sexy Fish, Mila, Gianni, Surf Club at Four Seasons. We will be back!

We celebrated my hubby’s birthday here today and it was a great time. The service was great and the food was amazing. We had the guacamole for the table, I had the Truffle Benedict and my hubby had the Steak & Eggs Skillet with extra grilled onions and poblano peppers. The food was amazingly flavorful. I really wanted to eat there for the vibes and ambience but was pleasantly surprised that the food was so good. It was $132 before tip, which to me was a great price for brunch in Miami. Will definitely go again.

Great spot but it’s not really a very good place to take a date. Very loud music made it impossible to talk for large portions of dinner. Excellent place for cocktails and dancing or to go with friends
