The Drexel is a sophisticated yet quaint, modern Mediterranean restaurant in Miami Beach. Named after the iconic street and built on the corner of a historical 1920’s village, The Drexel will transport you to the bygone era of Miami Beach.

Chef Nano Crespo brings his signature rustic, straight forward cooking style to The Drexel. Offering clean flavors from the charcoal grill and wood oven, the menu includes house made pasta and pizza with a heavy emphasis on locally sourced seafood and an entire section dedicated to vegetable dishes. The Drexel also features a uniquely curated wine list with boutique wines from Greece, France, Spain, and Italy. The cocktail list will thrill lovers of libations with favorites like The Drexel Margarita, made with mezcal, in-house organic infused agave with fresh citrus, and a toasted coconut salt rim that lets your mind drift off to a beachfront moment.

Beautiful place with great service and interesting happy hour items, but my lamb kebab and pizza were extremely salty.

Menu is pretty simple. Mostly grilled. Important to know that everything is served family style. If you’re not into sharing, this may not be for you. It’s a great location right on the outskirts of Espanola. Service is friendly and on top of everything. Just didn’t think the food was anything special.

My husband went to dinner last night because of the reviews on opentable. Walking in it was a very nice place. Staff seemed welcoming. My issue was mainly with service. We went for the Miami Spice experience but just got poor service. We ordered an appetizer that never came. We had to ask for drink refills. There was another table with 5 guests that continued getting timely service and regular check-ins. I really wanted to like this place but was so turned off by the poor service.

We had a great dinner. Shared the whole organic chicken with salad and fries. It was great. Service is always A+. I think from the welcome to the check, it is the best service in South Beach. I’ve tried the fish, lamb and steak on menu. All excellent. We sat inside. Not hot, but doors open and not very much AC. Also, it is very loud inside- noise from other tables. I think sitting outdoors is better.

Great happy hour. Awesome bartenders and cocktails, and the rotisserie chicken dinner is amazing. Best vibes and value in South Beach. I like to go to the Drexel a couple of times a month, at least.
