    We are repeat customers because we always have an enjoyable experience. It's a pleasure to have a "neighborhood" restaurant that offers such good quality food and consistent service. The homemade sangria and a charred Cesar salad is a great way to start a meal. After that, for my wife and me it's almost always splitting the whole, fried snapper, which is one of the best in Miami and one order always feeds the two of us with some leftovers, so from a value perspective, you can't beat it!

    As a lover of Indian food, Ghee is the perfect place to sample interesting dishes. Three of us had the tasting menu (the whole table must choose this) and every single dish was delicious. We started with the “snacks” and loved them all - the tuna bhel and crispy broccoli were our favorites. Next were the mains which were all very well prepared but our favorite was actually the Dal Makhani. The Chicken Tikka Masala was very flavorful and tender as well. As chocolate lovers I don’t usually get dessert in Indian restaurants but the date cake with ginger ice cream was moist and delicious. Service was efficient and non-intrusive. Great dinner!

    Beauty and the Butcher is truly a completely remarkable dinning experience. From their ambience which is mellow but elegant and romantic yet not stuffy, to the consistency of excellence in their service whether it be at the bar or through their incredible wait staff to what is really an incredible assortment and arrangement of exquisite bites, plates, tastings, cocktails and wines. In what is a very over saturated, over stated and over priced dining scene in Miami. Beauty and the Butcher delivers extremely high quality and consistency in a flavorful dining experience.
