Great environment, delicious food. The hog snapper deep fried is to die for. Fish tacos, guacamole, tuna tostada and ribs, everything have a perfect taste and if you ask for the manager Anibal he’s the best and sweet person I’ve ever meet. Highly recommended.

Went here for dinner with my friends just as the sun was going down. The view was SPECTACULAR from the 2 top tables out on the patio! This is the kind of setting that you propose to someone in… Even if the girl doesn’t like you, u guarantee that she’ll wait until she gets in the car to decline! lol. Yes it’s THAT beautiful! Staff was nice and the food was good. A+

Place needs some music in the background during the daytime. Seems place is worn out and going out of business– manager was extremely friendly and attentive– but the environment itself seems flat! Beautiful location but no attention to detail! We were a large group and service was slow even though restaurant was empty for a Saturday lunch! Kudos on the manager though, he really tried to make us happy!

I’m going to be as quick as possible despite it’ll be hard. I made a reservation via OpenTable for a party of 4 last Saturday at 6:00PM. We arrived 10 minutes past 6, the place was empty and we choose to sit outside. The temps and humidity was hard, also a lot of mosquitos. We were treated very amicable and professional by our server«Luis M.», the view of this restaurant is great, and the live guitarist was an unexpected added bonus, but… The way they do math does NOT add up: Our server explained a few«specials» that were not on the menu, one of them was the filet mignon, called on the attached photo of the check«LANDFOODSPECIAL», they never mentioned anything about prices on the 2 or 3 «specials». The filet mignon or LANDFOODSPECIAL was small, with too much grease and bone. When we received the check I was shocked by seeing«2LANDFOODSPECIAL $ 124.00». This meant they charged me $ 62.00 per Filet Mignon with lower quality that Outback Victoria Filet which cost only $ 24… My main complaint is NOT even the $ 62.00 per filet, it’s the obvious set-up of not including it on the regular menu and then offer it «verbally omitting the prices». That’s a real and legal way to pickpocket people. I have gone to several great Steakhouses, some of them use to offer specials that are NOT in the menu and ALWAYS the server explain the specials with their prices. Below and with * are the ones I have personally gone and being offered specials with disclosed prices*. Last on the list is Outback which is not a top Steakhouse and does NOT use the specials strategy but their food is super cheap and delicious: *Smith and Wollensky($ 45 to $ 53 Filet Mignon 8oz) *Bern’s Steakhouse($ 39.70 Filet Mignon 8oz) *Capital Grill($ 40 to $ 45 Filet Mignon 8oz) *Chicago Cut($ 31 to $ 50 Filet Mignon 8oz-14oz) Outback($ 24 Filet Mignon 8oz) Paying the $ 62.00 per filet mignon is not the only mathematic problem, they charge me a total of 320.40 from which Florida Taxes of 7% should be $ 22.42 but they charge $ 28.84 which is actually a 9%. This is letting them to include taxes on the pre-add 20% gratuity(which should not be taxed since it will be a double taxation because the server is responsible to paying his/her state and federal taxes). So the correct amount of Tax on the bill should have being: $ 18.69 instead of $ 28.84(another $ 10.15 unearned money charged). Considering the amount I was charged for Florida Tax(7%) $ 28.84 versus the correct amount I should have be charged of $ 18.69 it give us a Tax Rate of around 11%. To close the remembrance; the next day I received an email from OpenTable saying that I didn’t make it to the reservation… which indicate they didn’t report our arrival to avoid paying the referral’s’ fees… People keep your eyes hide open if you still decided to give them a try, don’t get too distracted by the nice waterfront views!

Went there for Miami Spice the menu was great and the food was good. The lobster corn bisque soup could have been served hotter. Only problem with this place was went to the bar ordered two drinks after waiting about 20 minutes to be served. Got the bill a 20% gratuity was automatically included which is fine. However when the bill posted to my bank account the bartender had given himself an extra $ 4.00 tip on top of the automatic 20%! Seriously wouldn’t go back to this place as the service is mediocre at best and they help themselves to your money. Don’t recommend it!

Went here for lunch on a Sunday and was pretty disappointed. We ordered from the Miami Spice menu. I ordered a fish soup as my appetizer, didn’t see any fish and the soup tasted as if it came out if a can. The other ladies I was with complained their ceviche was extremely salty. For my main course I ordered mahi mahi which must have been some other fish because it tasted nothing like mahi mahi! The service was mediocre because there is one waiter for the entire restaurant and there were 2 big parties at the same time. Nonetheless, he didn’t need to worry about the tip because the automatically add a 20% gratuity to the bill. Obviously there will never be a need to work hard for a great tip. The only positive this restaurant has is the view but this is Miami so great views can be found at many restaurants accompanied by great food!

The location is very nice. 5⁄5 the service is horrible and they do not deserve a 20% service charge. The receptionist asked if we have a reservation!!! Seriously, the place is empty and have plenty of table available. They are very slow. There were 3 tables at the time we were there, it took them 45 mins to bring out out appetizer. The food is okay. Nothing wow! 3⁄5.

Beautiful location! The food was ok, not the most delicious but it wasn’t bad. I ordered a glass of wine and it was $ 16, expensive but it is a nice place to visit for the nice location.

Great views and food was delicious but that’s where the good experience ends. The service was below average… not sure if this is how it always is or because we were a large party the waiter knew he would be getting his 20% regardless. He didn’t deserve half of that. Come time to pay the bill and waiter tells us he can only swipe 2 credits cards making the people in our party scramble to find cash and some even had to go to the atm. To top it all off I get home to find out my bank account was overcharged! Horrible experience and it’s too bad since the location and food was good but I will not return! Management you need to make some changes quick!

Second visit proved to have many ups and downs. Miami Spice lunch at the invitation of a friend. Noticed lack of attention to detail — spots on silverware, stains on menus, crumbs in chairs. A little confusion regarding wait staff. Nice and polite but limited knowledge of menu. Slow start. We enjoyed appetizers of lobster bisque and a shrimp dish. Entrees were overcooked, under seasoned, lacking depth of flavor, fish and short ribs were tough and inedible. Desserts of brownie banana brûlée tasted like they came from a box. Sadly, manager came by(looking unkempt with unbuttoned shirt sleeves)…we shared out concerns but he just said thank you and moved on. The wait staff was nice, the view is wonderful, my mimosa was good, and the appetizers were good. Thank goodness it’s Miami Spice.

Came here for a birthday lunch and was not disappointed. Food was phenomenal and the view cannot be matched in Miami. The hotel remains closed and only the restaurant and bar are open now. Based on past reviews it seems they haven’t been since the reopening. My girlfriend had the steak frites and we were expecting a small center cut steak but this was nowhere near small, this steak was thick and huge! I had the chicken with sweet potato and man it was delicious. We had initially started off with the shrimp appetizer with tostones and easily the best tostones I have had; my Abuela has major major competition. I highly recommend this place, you will not be let down. Pricey yes but for what we got in food and portions I’ll pay that happily any day of the week.

This place is so overpriced it’s insulting. The food is good, the service is friendly and the view is nice but the charge and need to pay for valet and the automatic 20% tip, even on the bar tab is silly stupid expensive. No wonder they are usually empty except for parties when I’ve gone. Won’t be going back.

The location is everything here. The view of the water is breath taking and many of the tables are nestled on their own little platform making it feel as if you are in your own backyard. If only my backyard came with servers, great food and a beautiful view, I digress. On to the food we had the octopus appetizer which was perfectly tender and flavorful. I have to admit when it first came out I was worried that it was on the small side but it’s served along side tostones and was just perfect. Speaking of sizes the drinks surprised me. They were priced at about $ 12, but given the location I expected my mojito to be in a small glass, but no mine came out in a full glass and the margaritas were served in chile’s style glass. For the main course I had the grilled jumbo shrimp it was delish. The shrimp were seasoned perfectly and were succulent and juicy. On the side it came with an herbed couscous and slow braised kale. This sides were the only disappointment of the night as they were ok but lacked anything special. My husband had the lamb chops, which he devoured and then raced about all the way home. His sides were homemade chips that were tasty and some amazing Brussels sprouts with some sort of heavenly mashed creamy vegetable. Service was on point and really added to the wonderful experience. While enjoying dinner we watched the beautiful boats come in and it was just a very relaxing evening. To wrap things up stop by the fire pit and hang out by the water. Places like this are what making living in South Florida so special.

My husband took me here for our anniversary dinner. I love the scenery. Unfortunately, I was sick and couldn’t sit outside this particular evening due to the wind and temperature. But the manager sat us in a nice area inside that I could still enjoy the view. I love sitting by the ocean and seeing the fire pit. Very beautiful even looking at it from indoors. The staff was nice and checked in at the right times. I did not order any drinks off of the menu, but had the bartender make my own martini concoction lol. The Fundido was really delicious! I ordered the paella for dinner and did not enjoy it. I told my husband the next time I’ll just stick to the appetizer. He had the truffle fries and the weren’t great. Had to send it back for regular fries. Lol. He did have a steak and he enjoyed that. All in all, nice romantic place in the evening and stay away from entrees and stick with appetizers.

Not my type of place… the décor is ugly, nice chairs but you feel like you are at a wedding venue. I really wouldnt care too much about the décor and the ambiance if the food at least was good. The food was so so blend… no taste no nothing… so final conclusion… never coming back to eat!!! Outside is nice and romantic so thats why Im giving 2 stars!

Had a surprisingly amazing lunch here. Could be that my business associate lives in this building and frequents this restaurant nightly and personally knows the chef — but I don’t care, it was great! Started with a great glass of pinot noir and they brought out an assortment of appetizers — home made burata, ceviche and beef carpaccio. Then the chef came out to tell us about the fresh fish that just arrived — red snapper — that he would like to prepare whole for each of us with a nice Mediterranean sauce and served with tostones and sautéed spinach. It was all really wonderful. To end this lunch, they brought us their homemade icecream which was really delicious. Great service too with a wonderful view of the bay. I don’t normally drive this far south to eat but if I happen to be in the area again, I will definitely come back.

I had dinner this past Friday night at Gibraltar. I was a little hesitant to dine here after reading all the negative reviews regarding the service. However, I liked their Miami Spice offerings and decided to try it anyway. Our service was pretty good until the end of our meal. I will elaborate on this at the end of the review. We arrived a few minutes late for our 730 reservations. We were seated right away and noticed the dining room was pretty empty for a Friday night. There were only 3 other small parties in the room, so at this point we didn’t have any service issues. I asked our waitress for a recommendation on the white wine. She knew nothing about the wine and stated she would have to ask the bartender! Wow! I’ve never experienced that before. They definitely need to educate their staff! For starters, we ordered the Oaxaca cheese fundido. It had shrimp and chorizo sausage in it and was devine. I wish I could have licked the little skillet it came in! Unfortunately, this was as good as it gets. For the entrée course, we ordered the Seared Scallop and Chorizo, and the Grilled Veal chop. The veal chop had a nice flavor, but it was overcooked and a little chewy. The hash browns that accompanied it were awful… awful…awful! I’ve had better hash browns at Denny’s. I left them on the plate! My friends scallop entrée consisted of 2 small scallops on the plate. Very stingy to serve 2 scallops and call it an entrée. This was an appetizer sized portion, and she was rather disappointed. For dessert, we both ordered the banana cheesecake sundae and some cappuccinos. Dessert was underwhelming. The only thing that impressed me was the fundido and the view. After dessert, we waited and waited for our check. I noticed the waitress was a bit overwhelmed as a large party and a party of 4 came in at the same time. It’s as if she forgot us, so I had to flag down someone else and ask them for the check. After another wait, she finally brings the check. We waited again for approximately 10 minutes, but she never returned to pick it up, so I had to ask someone else to take it. At that point, I decided we would not be leaving any additional gratuity(they already add on 20%) and left. I’m not sure why they would have 1 waitress, and 2 assistants serving an entire dining room on a Friday night! I won’t be back!

Stay clear during the summer heat! Outdoor seating area has a beautiful view BUT90 degrees & filled with Mosquitos. Their fans don’t work outside and they only have a selected few of the mosquito candles. Additionally — the hostess will tell you that you can’t sit at the water-front tables bc they’re reserved for«anniversaries and proposals.» The tables were not reserved and were not used the entire time we were there. Food is great but the service has to change.

The food is ok and definitely not justifying the high prices. The restaurant is on the island and valet is the only option to park($ 12). The view is on the water but nothing crazy, view on the far Key Biscayne bridge. However it is very calm. Finally there is a 20% gratuity included for a service that has nothing special.
