Preston’s

Brian and Juan were amazing. The food was delicious. Impeccable service and ambiance. Definitely recommend! We had originally walked up to Loews to go to Lure but it was closed and we had asked Brian who was helping in security if it was open and he re-​directed us to Preston’s. He was so kind and checked in on us and even comped our drinks for our meal. An amazing experience and gorgeous view on our last day in Miami…

During our stay here so far we ate a late lunch and that was in the lounge area inside and the service wasn’t great at all I had to chase the server for silver ware and plates, napkins. The second time we came down to the actual Resturant for breakfast Diego was our server and he was very pleasant .
The reason why I loved this places Much was because of the organic ingredients they use. I really appreciate good food and Restaurants which serves quality food. I would definitely recommend this place.
They do include 20% gratuity charge which the server would tell u about which is nice.

Yikes, Prestons. Although the presentation of the food is awe inspiring it’s lacks flavor. I got so excited to dive right into my turkey burger I nearly spit it out. The turkey was so so dry almost inedible. We also were served a tray of condiments that had been opened prior. How disgusting? I screamed when I saw my husband wasn’t paying attention and went for it. I won’t ever return.

Good food! Great view! Wonderful place for brunch. Friendly staff, just out of our price range for the first stop. Loews Miami is a great hotel! Would recommend! Bring your bank account! You’ll need it

Convenience factor of this restaurant: 100%. It’s located inside the LOEWS Miami beach hotel on the ground level, a few steps past the hotel’s open wall cocktail lounge. With the ordeal of Miami taxi transportation or getting a good dose of humidity as you walk to your restaurant destination; this spot saves a serious amount of time. However, this place is arguably pricey and some of the staff are negligent. For the breakfast buffet, it will set you back $ 30 per person.
The buffet options were basic — not as ample or varied as you might find at a Vegas breakfast buffet. I was taken by surprise with how mediocre, oily, stale or dry everything tasted. Their juice bar is the only thing to write home about. There was also a DIY bagel bar, simple muffin and bread selection, some dried out lox, basic omelette bar, cereal, oatmeal, fresh berries, yogurt, an array of pre-​cooked items sitting under a heat warmer: dry mini pancakes, dry waffles, dry French toast, bacon, super oily sausages, stale fries, eggs Benedict somewhat dried out and hard, and also scrambled eggs on the verge of being over cooked and dry.
You have the option to sit on their outdoor patio overlooking the pool with the tiniest view of the ocean, or you can sit inside, protected from the extreme humidity and heat elements. We decided to sit inside.
Our server was enthusiastic and helpful, but I had an unfortunate run in with a very agitated buffet line worker. I had decided on their fresh pressed juices since it was available with our $ 30 buffet purchase and looked better than their other offerings (plus, I needed a serious detox from all of the late Miami nights and early mornings!) however, I wasn’t informed that the juice bar closes down in the middle of breakfast buffet service once they start to run out of ingredients and produce.
Ready to order my juice, I was told they were closed, which had me frustrated since that was why I agreed to do the breakfast buffet in the first place. After pleading to her that I was not informed about the juice bar operations she rolled her eyes and told me she will make anything that does not have green produce since she’s «all out of that».
Her body language and tone said it all. I said that’s totally fine! And I ordered a few carrot, citrus and juices with spices. The juices tasted decent, but I was really offended by her initial «I’m closed and I don’t want to help you attitude» so the whole juice bar ordeal put a major negative experience at this restaurant.
If you choose to dine here, just make sure you get all the information you need to know about the buffet operations and take a tour of the food first.

Food and service was very good.
Only comment is that food was to much in our party/​dinner meal
Thanks

I really want to give this place another try! Our server was so so good, she checked on us constantly, thoroughly explained the menu and actually cared about us/​chatted about personal stuff. The greeters were also very sweet when we couldn’t decide where we wanted to sit, they followed us with menus until we figured it out.
The only bad thing was that we went here specifically to eat on the patio that over looks the pool area and south beach, except it was reserved for a super large party that day so we had to eat inside. My BF wanted to watch the game so we sat in the lounge area where you can order from The Hemisphere menu which is actually better than the Preston’s main menu when it comes to drinks and apps anyway. Ordered surf & turf, Steak and Lobster. Steak was way to salty and the lobster was just, Ew. (from Preston’s menu). The new Captain Morgan’s mojitos they are trying out were fab! They have Watermelon, Coco, Passion Fruit and Mango, they should keep them all. Chicken Nachos were good and the cake pops we ordered for dessert were too sweet and funny tasting. Overall, the ambiance of the outdoor patio is why I want to try again, maybe I’ll enjoy my food more. But our server I think her name started with an «A» she is Colombian. I really wish I could remember her name!

We came for valentines day dinner and it was a pre-​fix option. Most upscale restaurants aren’t super accommodating for children, so it was a pleasant surprise how awesome they were with accommodating children. My salad was kick-​ass as was my husbands duck and cheese board! Loved the childrens menu! All in all a great experience and would def come back again!

Let’s start with, the food is delicious, the staff friendly and helpful. I am happy that they offered Miami Spice special because it would be pricey otherwise. They had three different options for appetizer, entrée and dessert. It was a struggle to choose, and I wish I had more friends with me to taste everything. Anyway, I had the arrugala, kale & quinoa salad for appetizer, snapper with ratatouille for entrée and chocolate tart with ice cream for dessert. I could not finish my dessert because I was beyond full.
So why not the five stars? Their table placements did not leave room for people to move so more than once other patrons were sitting on my table. There were a lot of undisciplined children running around that took away from the eating experience. For a late Friday seating, I was surprised to see so many kids. Though the children are really their parents fault, I think it is a higher risk of this turning into a Chucky Cheese if the restaurant doesn’t establish a ‘put your kids on a leash’ policy.
Overall, I will return; I will recommend. One tip, ask for seating on the sides or back to reduce the traffic from sitting on your lap.

I work across the street and have been here several times over the years for Spice lunches. Preston’s never fails to deliver.
The room is lovely, albeit slightly «hotel generic», but the menu is top notch, as is the service. You can sit inside or out, and if you opt for outside, you get some nice steel drums to accompany your meal.
The Spice menu for 2014 is truly standout. I had the blue crab and watermelon salad, which came with a tangy citrus dressing and a tangle of argula. The watermelon was grilled and that preparation just really made the dish. I followed it up with the whole grilled snapper. The fish was cooked perfectly with herbs inside, and arrived at the table (mostly) deboned. Accompaniments were grilled asparagus and tomato, and the whole thing had a buttery lemon sauce. Larry S. had the short rib grilled cheese and truffle fries. It was a large enough portion that he couldn’t finish the fries, even with me assisting! We shared the Nutella fritters and crème brûlée for dessert and both were equally delicious. The crème brûlée had a really nice vanilla taste to it.
What keeps it from being 5 stars is that it is very expensive if you are not there during Spice or with an expense account. But the service is great and the food is exquisite!

I came to Preston’s with my husband for dinner. I wanted to have the organic chicken but they informed us that they were out of it. So instead I opted for the chicken Alfredo and the hubby for the pomodoro with chicken. The food itself was ordinary and very generic. The service was good. Nothing out of this world that would make me pay $ 29 again for a chicken Alfredo. However, the valet recommended a restaurant that is right next door which he says is amazing. Maybe we will give it a try.

Our waiter, who proudly displayed on his name tag that he was from Pembroke Pines was really good. He was on top of it and funny to boot! I wish i could remember his name so I could give him a shoot out, he took this from a 3 star to a 4 star experience. I guess b/​c so many places automatically include tip on their checks that I just assUme I’m going to get HORRENDOUS service, but our guy stepped it up a notch.
We were down at the Loew’s for a business convention and were having a business lunch-​yay! I ordered a Greek salad, dressing on the side, grilled chicken (moist and not overcooked), 2 others ordered the Caesar (it’s a large sized salad), one ordered the Salmon (there wasn’t a bite left on her plate), BLT (she only ate half but said it was delicious), and lastly a wrap of some sort that was 3 times the size of a stuffed burrito and came with a side salad.
Portion sizes were HUGE, like Cheesecake factory huge so you definitely can share something here.
If I was staying at the Loews and it was convenient for me I definitely would eat here again.

A solid restaurant with reasonable options. Pizza is okayish but don’t particularly recommend it. Lobster tacos were fine if nothing to write home about. Good cocktail selection. A tad overpriced, like everything else at the Loews.

While I attended, with pals, a Spice dinner I know I’ll soon be back. Located in the back of the Loews (which has to have the strangest front desk set-​up) is a nice comfortable restaurant (could use more lighting) that serves up all kinds of sumptuous goodies — and in rather large proportions! I dined on a lobster mac and cheese appetizer that could easily have served as its own meal and then tackled the short rib ravioli — golly was that rich and delicious. Preston’s also has a do-​able wine list where I was able to scout out a yummy Malbec at @ $ 45.00 which isn’t too shabby when you see what some of these south beach restaurants can charge. We also had a very companionable waiter who was quite knowledgeable about the menu and wine list — a very pleasant dining experience.

I’m a Miami resident but had never been here before. From our first encounter with the host, Daniel, to our waiter, Pedro, it was an impeccable evening. We came for Miami spice, expecting to be shorted on portions but to our complete shock, not only was everything delicious, the portions were huge! We asked for tap water and he brought us Fiji instead (comped). He asked us what wine we preferred and he brought us a «taste» of a wine he recommended that was extremely generous. For starters, we ordered the Lobster Mac and cheese and baked clams. We COULD NOT finish them. In fact, we barely put a dent in the dishes! They brought us a beautiful bread basked with assorted fresh breads and a delicious goat cheese with passion fruit infused spread. Meanwhile, the host came over to check on us at several points in the evening and engaged us in very friendly conversation. We ordered crab Pomodoro and short rib ravioli for our entrees. All I can say is we could have brought two more people to share the plates with and we still would have had left overs! Seriously impressed with the amount of short rib stuffed in the ravioli, the amount of lump crab meat, the huge lobster chunks in the Mac and cheese… Insane! For dessert we ordered the crème brûlée and Nutella fritters. The Nutella fritters were out of this world.
The wine list was very reasonably priced and had a very good selection. They are very generous with the pours.
Make sure you ask for PEDRO, you will not regret it!

Ok — i m conflicted on this one, but settled on a 2. I would have picked 2.5 if it was available.
The good:
— the food, the fish tacos and snapper were very good
— ambiance, take your choice on inside dining and the patio overlooking the pool.
The bad:
— the service, the waiter was unsmiling, and at some point he just ignored us, in fact he avoided us, we received our cappucino and then waited and waited for our dessert. It was anything fancy either — a chocolate tart with salted caramel ice cream — we waited about 20 minutes for that tart, and drank our coffee before it even came. The capper? The tart was tasteless.
— also they levied a 20% tip on the bill, which was brought out to us by another waiter. Great handoff — not!!!
I expect more of a Loews! I had actually been checking it out as a potentially place to stay as we really like vacationing here, but if they run everything like this — methinks I’ll take a pass.
