Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Miami Lakes

Great food and service, will be back! Loved the steak and shrimp pasta.

Great all the way around!! I love this place. I noted in the reservation comments on OT that this was a first date and recent b’day. The wait staff were fully on board and offered a complimentary Prosecco toast at the outset and then proceeded to deliver excellent service throughout. Great local, neighborhood restaurant and bar. Excellent food—all prepared in-house, breads, tortilla chips, etc.—and drinks.

Bridget , the manger saved the day! Of course Christmas Eve was a busy night and reservations were flooding in but we have been to The Drexel before and we know it’s worth the wait. Martina the server took great care of us the minute we sat down and was always there for us when we needed her . We had the whole chicken , tuna carpaccio , hummus, mussels , pasta for the kids ! An amazing Christmas Eve feast! Bartenders are on point with our Negronis and my special request for a drink called le veux carre! It is a great spot for a local to feel like you have been taken out of Miami Beach and into a different world. You guys did great last night ! No pressure no diamonds!

Another wonderful experience. We brough 2 nephews from out of town, and they were blown away by the food, service, attention to detail by the staff, and the show. We ate family style and were given adequate time between courses to enjoy our family. Then we topped off desert with the Bomb! This is a delicate outer shell of merengue, with fresh seasonal fruits and freshly whipped cream. Bravo! This restaurant has quickly become our go to place to eat especially when we have guests in town. Sharing this experience is on the top of our list.

Went for the first time with my family and was quite impressed by the lunch experience. The ambience and the service were amazing; Claudia particularly was so kind and helpful. My parents wanted to go back immediately since they were so impressed with the value. Can’t wait to try their sushi next time.
