We love The Deck! A breathtaking spot with a sexy view. Our server Martha is the absolute best and always gives us an amazing experience each and EVERY SINGLE TIME! We love coming here, whether it's for a date night or with a larger group. Food is delicious and that charcuterie board is amazing. Great cocktails, DJs, live music, hookah and performers makes it all the more worth it to go!

My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience at the bar with our bartender Ana!! She made our experience unforgettable always making sure to check up on us and made sure we were well taken care of. She also gave us amazing recommendations from the menu and drinks, we had the Ruby Dream, since I’m obsessed with Lychee and it did not disappoint. Please stop by and give the bar some love the next time you think about eating here.

This place is amazing! The food is incredible: tasty, original, fresh. The ambiance is exquisite: incredible views of the city, good music and beautiful decoration. The service is excellent and everybody is super nice and professional. It does not matter if you go to enjoy the sunset or a Sunday brunch,The Deck is a huge experience in Miami.

Amzing food and amazing view of miami, the dj on fire great music…. If you come ask for Delaina she is wonderful… The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection… The menu offers a wide variety of options, and everything we tried was delicious. I especially loved the creative twists on classic dishes…. The manager help us out with a table we didn’t have a reservation…. The fire lady was so charismatic , nice show.

All around a great restaurant! Excellent customer service! Everyone from the host to the waiter was superb. Very attentive and offered assistance when needed. The cocktails were also delicious! I love the sunset hour special $10 cocktails!!! The views are spectacular of the city. The food was delicious. We really enjoyed the chicken dish, tender with lots of flavor. There was also a live DJ. The music was great and not too loud. Definitely a great time.

A Magical Night at The Deck at Island Gardens My friends and I had the most incredible night at The Deck at Island Gardens! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking waterfront views and the elegant yet lively atmosphere. The combination of luxury, great music, and top-notch service made for an unforgettable experience. We enjoyed the branzino, which was perfectly cooked—flaky, flavorful, and beautifully presented. To top it off, the chocolate cake was pure indulgence, the perfect sweet ending to our meal. And let’s talk about the Islander cocktails—we definitely had more than a few, and they were absolutely delicious! The live music and performances added so much energy to the night, making it even more special. Huge thanks to Manager Maria, who went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience.

To end my birthday weekend, I booked reservations at the Deck at Island Gardens for brunch. I’ve seen rave reviews about this restaurant on TikTok, channel 10 news, and Yelp so needless to say I was very excited to be celebrating my birthday at this restaurant. When we arrived, we were taken on time to our reservation. The staff was very friendly and accommodating; when our table was out in the sun, they accommodated my large party and moved us to a better area with shade. Our hostess for our group was very friendly and helpful as we navigated through the buffet. This restaurant has a yacht club ambience to it. On the back end of the buffet, you see a multitude of yachts parked along the Miami marina. Also you have a view of the beautiful Miami skyline as well. This buffet was amazing! This buffet had everything from burger sliders, fried snapper, pancakes, an omelette, a paella station, and a dessert station with a plethora of cakes. My favorite was the fried red snapper. This fish was fried to a perfect crisp with so much flavor. Also, the paella was amazing, with huge large shrimp. This place definitely lives up to the hype, and I cannot wait to come back.

I had an incredible dining experience! The highlight of my meal was the red snapper, served in convenient bone-free bites that were both flavorful and beautifully presented. The mashed potatoes and risotto were equally delightful, making for a fantastic meal. The ambience was lively and fun, with a DJ spinning great tunes and an impressive fire show that captivated everyone. Our server, Elina, was amazing—attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed. The breathtaking views added the perfect touch to the evening. I highly recommend The Deck for a fun and memorable dining experience!

Derik Hayenga

What a wonderful find. Staff was gracious and accommodating. The food was superb. Drinks were handcrafted and pretty close to perfect. A wonderful view of the harbor and the yacht in the marina. A must visit Miami secret. Very well done.

John Fesler

It was beautiful you could look out across the bay at Miami all lite up hear the waves and the fresh air. The service was great food was delicious if you go definitely try the fried salmon bits as a appetizer.

Yana Kravtsova

We celebrated a birthday here with 25+ people and everything was absolutely amazing - all the guests loved it! Sara and Ana helped me plan everything to perfection, was easy to communicate, provided helpful tips and advice from menu to layout! Gaga and the direct staff hosted us all night - the food and drinks were great, and service was on point! And the venue is always breathtaking - we had a super yacht for the backdrop. The Dj vibes were great, and volume was nice for the mood but we can still all talk and enjoy ourselves; the fire dancer was fun! We loved the entire night and can't wait to be back. Thank you for such a beautiful and memorable and easy to enjoy event!

We recently celebrated my birthday at The Deck at Island Gardens, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The restaurant itself is stunning, with an incredible location that’s easily accessible. They offer convenient valet parking and ample self-parking options, making it hassle-free to arrive and depart. The atmosphere was extraordinary. We enjoyed fantastic music and watched a breathtaking sunset, which added a magical touch to the evening.🌇 The food was delightful, with a fresh Mediterranean twist. We highly recommend the pear and truffle 🍕 , the incredibly fresh burrata, and the grilled 🐙 , which was perfectly crispy. Our server, Gaga, was exceptionally friendly and attentive, helping us choose the best dishes and ensuring we were well taken care of throughout the meal.👏 The desserts, are crafted by Chef Bachour, were the perfect end to our meal. The berry cake stood out with its rich flavors, and they even brought out a sparkler candle to celebrate my birthday, which was a thoughtful touch.🍰 Overall, we were thoroughly impressed. The prices are quite reasonable for the quality and experience. The sunset views are breathtaking, and the entire evening was perfect. We’ll definitely be returning soon, and I highly recommend it for both groups and couples looking for a memorable dining experience.

Maria has been the most delightful person to have helped me tonight. After I came to have dinner with my party that I had set up the reservation for I was told to wait a few minutes for the table to be ready. I met Maria introducing herself to all the guests at the restaurant while we were at the bar and I commented we had reservations and were waiting for a table and she went out of her way to deliver the most delightful experience we have ever had at any upscale dining establishment. She had made my experience worth anything that money can buy! I will be back with all of my family and friends. Thank you Maria and I hope the establishment recognizes the importance of having someone like you employed for them.

Antonio Perez Coss

The Deck at Island Gardens is not only a great venue, with delicious food and drinks; but it offer a lot more! but I will share a different view: I had the opportunity to participate in a couple of events in this location and this is definitely a great location for special public and private events. The beautiful marina, bay and downtime views provide an amazing feeling and create an atmosphere, very difficult to replicate anywhere else. 100% recommended 👍

Eliza Manglona

Our waitress Alina was the absolute best! She was soooo sweet and made sure to make our birthdays feel special. She was so attentive and kind. This place was absolutely gorgeous and the food was phenomenal! Highly recommend

We love The Deck! A breathtaking spot with a sexy view. Our server Martha is the absolute best and always gives us an amazing experience each and EVERY SINGLE TIME! We love coming here, whether it's for a date night or with a larger group. Food is delicious and that charcuterie board is amazing.

First time here. Food and service not your Miami usual but stellar food and service. Then comes the band performing Los Angelitos Negros from Barcelona! Incredible talent style and class. Beautiful talent and music. I look forward to returning. A true 10+ rating.

WOW 🤩 What an amazing place can’t believe this is our first time here celebrating our anniversary we are so happy we came here today. The food is DELICIOUS the cocktails all made from scratch and you can tell ... What about the ambiance, the view second to none and THIS TEAM !!!! Hope you are lucky enough to get ADAM as your waiter but I’m sure the other staff will be just as good. Special mention for him though .... Last but not least. The manager, WALTON is a true gentleman and knows his business and the value of a customer. TANTY the hostess, a French Fellow is very professional and makes you feel at home. SARA was very helpful taking pictures when we left :) Not to forget GUSTAVO and GUCCI. They work very hard as bus boys and they are so nice, such a great team work. THÉ DECK definitely in our TOP 3 of the best spots in Miami. Quality, Ambiance, Service, you will always have a good time here.

If you are looking for a spot to celebrate a birthday you should definitely give it a try. They truly make you feel special. Their happy hour is great so make sure you come early to start with some bubbly and bites. View is amazing and the fire show super entertaining🤩 service was great. Our waitress helped us navigate the menu and pick different dishes without overordering. Their beef carpacio it’s delicious🫠 Yes we will be back:)

We were seated at our reservation time. Good food. Pricy menu but good food. For example, the sides are $16. So yes a side of mash was $16. It was a rather large serving, but still They had live entertainment(a band and a really cool fire dancer)

We went to the Deck for this past Mothers day celebration for BRUNCH & was amazed at the entire experience. I was lucky enough to meet the venue Manager - Arnaud. He was AMAZING; his recommendations for wine and white glove service made us feel like THE MOST IMPORTANT clients. Food was spectacular and the music/performances and super fun band had me and my family dancing all the time. MUST see place in Miami to experience at least once, for us, like Arnold said, "we'll be back"

Our experience was outstanding from start to finish. Samir at the valet was incredibly kind, professional, and made us feel welcome right away. Inside the restaurant, the service continued to impress, the staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. We had a wonderful evening and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

Went with a group of friends last night and had the best time. Ana was the best bartender!!! She recommended a couple of drinks and they were both 10/10. I loved the Ibiza before dark it’s a must try and my friend had the ruby dreams. We’ll definitely be back and hoping Ana is there for more recs.

Amazing experience at The Deck at Island Gardens! We went for brunch and we couldn't have a better time. You can’t beat the stunning view of the Miami skyline and the great ambiance. The food was fresh and delicious, and the brunch buffer offers different options with vegetarian, fish station, chicken… for a reasonable price. Overall, The Deck is beautiful especially with the amazing view of Miami's skyline. Great atmosphere and excellent food!

One of the best Sunday brunches I’ve ever experienced. Unique menu, awesome service and a great view. For more food suggestions, please follow me on Instagram @dommiegavone

I came from tampa for one of my friend’s birthday celebration and we had a reservation for dinner. As soon as we walked in I knew was going to be a an amazing night. Besides the great view, the place has a great energy, the host Andrea and our server Alina did a great job accommodating us to a table by the water. Our server had a great menu knowledge and helped us make the best choices according to our taste. She was very curious to find out what our preferences were and we all loved our meals. We had the catch of the day that turned out to be one of the most delicious pieces of fish I ever tried. The manager passed by the table a few times checking on us, the drinks were delicious and the desert time was a real show. They came out with sparkles and more than half of the team was there helping us sing happy birthday to my friend who felt so special. I wish I can join them for the New Years Party, this place seems to be very fun and the service was great! Will I be back ? You bet!!!🤩🤩

Sunday Brunch was amazing,food delicious,tasty with a great view to the water,beautiful restaurant ,cozy ,clean ,great music,manager Marie help me a lot with my questions,staff very attentive and professional

Sunday is fun they have a live Dj and good crowd also have live entertainment and at night gets a little more busy. The food is ok overpriced but I guess you pay for the atmosphere and entertainment. Dress very well for this place even during the day

From the moment we stepped into This is Saint Bart with Love, we were welcomed with an atmosphere of warmth, elegance, and a touch of Caribbean charm. But what truly elevated our experience to unforgettable was the bartender—Ana. Ana is nothing short of extraordinary. Her craft is an art form—each cocktail she made was not only delicious but beautifully presented, balanced, and perfectly tailored to our tastes. She listened carefully, recommended with confidence, and made every drink feel like a personal gift. Beyond her skill behind the bar, Ana exudes genuine hospitality. She’s engaging without being overbearing, attentive without hovering, and incredibly knowledgeable about both the menu and mixology. Her energy lit up the room, and by the end of the night, it felt like we’d known her for years. If you’re visiting Saint Bart and looking for a place that combines sophistication with soul, This is Saint Bart with Love is a must—and make sure Ana’s behind the bar. She doesn't just serve drinks—she creates moments.

Birthday Brunch for Me was fantastic. Beautiful restaurant and scenery. Service was great and so was the food

From the moment we walked up to the Deck we were blown away by the quality of service, elaborate ambiance, and beautiful water views! Hasan went above and beyond to take care of us! Not only was he incredibly personable and charming but he spent the perfect amount of attention to us during our dinner experience! Hasan took the time to point out different Miami landmarks that would be appealing to tourists like my family who were visiting Miami! He easily joked with us during our dinner but was so present anytime we needed something! I’ve lived in Miami for over a year and would definitely recommend the Deck to any residents or tourists visiting! We had a beautiful experience and will definitely be coming back! p.s. for an enriched experience request Hasan ❤️

Great atmosphere and views, the service was great as well. They are following the social distancing guidelines from the CDC. Everything was spaced out, we had a group of 6 people and they were very accommodating. The food was great and so were the drinks. I would highly recommend The Deck At Island Gardens.

From the moment we arrived, the experience was excellent. The valet service was quick, very friendly, and professional, making the start of our visit perfect. At the restaurant, the service was impeccable: the staff was always attentive, courteous, and welcoming. The food was delicious, with dishes served promptly and beautifully presented. Definitely a place we will return to and recommend. Thank you for an amazing evening!

It was one the best sunset I’ve seen in Miami. Very good location ! Service ! And of course the show was incredible with fire. 🔥

Best Tomahawk Steak, their pizza with prosciutto and arugula is amazing. Omar and Martha are and were amazing.

Elegant atmosphere, great service, delicious meal, delightful wine, great views. Our server, Ash, was informative and friendly.Tuna tartare is out of this world. When in Miami, it’s a must go!

I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant! The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect for a great night out. A special shoutout to Samir from the valet service — he greeted us with such a big smile and was incredibly friendly and helpful. His positive attitude really made the start of our evening even better. Highly recommend both the restaurant and the amazing service!

We celebrated a large private event at Island Gardens private event space and it was unforgettable. The beautiful waterfront cocktail reception Miami setting, incredible skyline views, and professional team made the night so special. Definitely one of the top Miami event venues waterfront. Highly recommend.

We organized a small private dinner at The Deck at Island Gardens Miami and everything was wonderful. The setting by the water was so relaxing and elegant, and the food was incredible. It’s such a lovely bayfront dinner venue, can’t recommend it enough!

This was one of my favorite places we went to in Miami! We went right when they opened for dinner and thank goodness we did because apparently you have to make reservations here, so just a heads up. They were not going to let us have dinner but then I said, “look how empty it is,” because it was pretty empty at that time, (only three tables had people), and I told him that we wouldn’t be long anyway, so they let us right in! The ambiance is amazing and so Miami. When it got darker it was even better because the view of the city from here is just spectacular and you have some pretty yachts to look at too! We had the baby gem Caesar salad and the wild mushroom risotto. Both were amazing and the Caesar salad actually came with a little fish on top which apparently is what it supposed to be all the time, just a lot of restaurants don’t do it, but this one did! We loved it! Cabernet was good as well! Choices are great, we just did not get much because we were not that hungry. They also have some cabana-like day-club tables and a DJ came later on which was so much fun! It’s also nice to sit back and see what everyone is wearing! Everyone was dressed to impress! I loved looking at everyone’s dresses! So make sure you dress up when you come here! The service was also outstanding our waitress, Jennifer, was amazing! Me and her had a whole conversation about how and why girls from Miami pack a lot in their suitcases but not us! Haha! This place was just so much fun and I cannot wait to come back to Miami just to go to this place! Every time I am in Miami I will try to come here!

Our first time at The Deck and we had an amazing experience. Between the food, the ambiance and the service, we really had such a good time. As you know sometimes the service is just as important as the food, Monica was our server with Ray as the bus boy and they made a really good team, very professional, on point with attention to detail. We absolutely loved the experience. We have to come again!!!

Celebrated our anniversary a couple Saturdays ago and had a great time! Great food and our waiter Miguel was so awesome and had such a great sense of humor! He made it a very fun experience as did the music. Wine and dessert was delicious!

Breathtaking views and delicious food! They know how to create atmosphere 🤩 during weekend they have live entertainment that makes time spent even more memorable! Service is also top notch, we felt very welcome 🥰

Amazing drinks and recommendation's thanks to Ana. She’s super friendly, and had an amazing experience with my girlfriend on the 25th of April . Will be coming back to see Ana again very soon

Came here in April for my birthday for Sunday brunch the food was great and the vibe was great I definitely love all the food they have and we ended up getting a hookah while we was there. Only thing was we was shorted on our 2 hours bottomless mimosas we didn’t get the full 2 hours but other then that I enjoyed my time and food and will definitely be coming back

Have been here on 03/08/2023 and had a great experience. Our server Carlos made our night so special. We enjoyed every single dish we had. Thank you, The Deck for making that night so special!

I had such an amazing time here!! Our bartender. Rafael was great!! he was very engaging, attentive, and fun. He even made sure to recommend some great drink options and made us feel very comfortable. I would definitely come back for the experience!

The Deck at Island Gardens is such a vibe! The views alone are worth the visit, but the food, drinks, and overall experience were top-tier. I had the Braised Short Rib Pappardelle rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. For dessert, the Tres Leches Baked Alaska was a showstopper—beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The cocktails were just as impressive both the Passion-ista and From St Barths with Love were refreshing and well-balanced. What really elevated the night was the entertainment a talented fire dancer who performed right by the dining area. Watching her skillfully handle and eat fire while we dined and admired the yachts in the marina added such a unique and exciting touch to the evening. The ambiance is elegant but fun, with great music, beautiful views, and an upscale yet relaxed vibe. Definitely a perfect spot for a night out in Miami

It's me, the one who only gives good reviews when I have a great experience. This restaurant is a MUST if you're visiting Miami!! We had such an wonderful time! Great food, great DJs, and AWESOME entertainment. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed 😊 🙏🏿.

This waterfront restaurant offers the most spectacular views of downtown Miami! The service is top-notch, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is unbeatable. Whether you’re enjoying a meal with friends or a romantic evening, this place is a must-visit for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Miami.

The cocktails the bartender Sebastian did for us were such a delicacy the tasting was amazing . He made our night very enjoyable and gave us a really good service throughout the night. Definitely totally recommended and the views of the harbor are super cool.

We recently hosted a private event at this venue, and everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was exceptionally attentive and made the entire planning process seamless from start to finish. The cuisine was outstanding—beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The waterfront location offered breathtaking views of Miami, creating a stunning backdrop that truly elevated the experience. Without a doubt, this is one of the finest event venues in Miami for any special celebration.

This was truly an enjoyable experience. The Deck at Island Gardens offers an amazing view, chill vibes, delicious drink and food, and friendly staff. The octopus was so tender, definitely the highlight of our dinner. We also ordered the French scrambled eggs and ossetra caviar, as well as the branzino, but the octopus was just wow. The drinks were very well done. I had the spicy seas and passion-ista (passion fruit based) and was hooked. From the presentation of the drink to the flavor, everything was there. The ambiance is excellent, with an incredible view, great décor, and your DJ mixing chill vibes tuned. It reminded me of an afternoon in Ibiza, without the craze but all the good stuff. I will definitely return. The place is great for any occasion, we went for brunch so it was hot, even with the fans, but the view made up for the heat honestly. You can go on a date, a business meeting, out with the guys/girls, give them a shot, you will not regret it.

Chic place great service awesome food Maria the manager was very visible she addressed every table to see if they were happy with the services and if they needed anything we had a party of over 20 people Adam was our main server. He never lost his patience he waited on us with a smile even if some of us are very needy LOL. My only recommendation is because this place is kind of costly they should not charge to park in that raggedy so-called parking lot. I would recommend all of my friends to go to this place the view was awesome the breeze was phenomenal my girlfriend really enjoyed her birthday party.

We had an unparalleled, amazing, and outstanding experience tonight. Words fall short when it comes to The Deck and its appealing atmosphere with the views of Miami port & bay. The delicacy in the details makes it delightful to the most. Usually im pretty picky and skeptical when it comes to place both for dinning and easy going nightly leisure but this place perfectly balances and creates an amalgam of thus wanted. When it comes to pricing, it’s fair and not extravagant like other places. The bartender Sebastian was charming and upbringing to the feelings and his suggestions and preparations in the bar, unmatched. The set-up and how genuinely the staff service you, its great. I’ll come back definitely

This is the place to go for a fabulous weekend brunch that lasts until dinner time! Great food, wonderful service, and the awesome fun vibe are like nowhere else! Awesome DJ, Sexy Saxophone sounds, and you can't beat the view of the cruise ships leaving port at sunset, the magnificent yachts docked at this marina, and the Miami skyline in the background! A must go to if you live or visit Miami! Easy to get to and valet parking is available

Ets just start of by saying that's the location and the views are gorgeous. The place has a great vibe , nothing but social and classy people at least from what I saw which is ways a plus for places like this. The service was better then expected , our server was always on top of us making sure we didn't need anything and I like that. The seafood toward was so fresh you can smell the saltwater on it my fiancee loved it. The drinks where so fresh and amazing and the best part at least to me was the option of buying a cigar to smoke and i love cigars. The prices in this place a re a bit high but you get what you pay for and honestly I would pay again as long as i have the same service well worth every penny. Just a heads up to anyone 20% tip is already included and if the service if like that every time I don't kind it, I gave our waitress and extra tip on top. I would definitely recommend this place for special occasions. Absolutely love it, hope this helps

A Return to Deck Island Garden: A Mixed Experience on July 4th Rating: 3.5 stars for entertainment Rating: 5. Star for service Rating. 5. Star for Food I recently revisited the Deck Island Garden in Miami after a hiatus of a few years, visiting from Atlanta, hoping to relive the vibrant atmosphere and entertainment that had left a lasting impression on me during my previous visits. However, this time around, I was met with a somewhat different experience. Upon arrival on July 4th, I was immediately struck by the familiar ambiance that had drawn me in before. Despite the absence of the lively entertainers that had added an extra spark to my previous visits, the overall atmosphere remained inviting and enjoyable. The 4th of July experience was spectacular light experience that we enjoyed while dining. The views are priceless Turning my attention to the menu, I was pleased with the selection and opted for the seafood tower as a starter, octopus, which did not disappoint. Although my first choice of red snapper was unavailable, the Bronzino I ordered as an alternative exceeded my expectations. Cooked to perfection, it was a delicious choice that I thoroughly enjoyed. To complement my main course, I selected a Greek salad and concluded my meal with a slice of the cobalt chocolate cake. Both dishes were flavorful and satisfying, adding to the overall dining experience. While the absence of entertainers was a disappointment, I hope that they will be present on weekends to enhance the fun and lively vibes that I associate with the Deck Island Garden. Additionally, a special mention goes to Sam, our waiter, whose exceptional service and personable demeanor added a positive touch to our dining experience. In conclusion, my return to the Deck Island Garden was a mixed experience. While the food quality remained excellent and the ambiance inviting, the absence of entertainers was noticeable. I look forward to the potential return of entertainers on my next weekend, to elevate the overall experience at this charming establishment.

Overall we enjoyed our visit to The Deck. However,our initial impression was not that great. We walked up to the hostess to check in and were immediately told we have two hours at our table. This made the overall experience feel rushed. The food was prepared well and presented nicely, but small portions. The cocktails were perfect- good variety and presented nicely. The ambiance is perfect. Overlooking a marina with beautiful yachts, live dj and nice decor. Great for taking pics. The service was great - attentive and friendly. Jennifer was our server. We were disappointed that our Baked Alaska was not flambeed at our table as stated on the menu. But acknowledging our anniversary was a nice touch!

I recently dined at The Deck at Island Garden and had a decent experience overall. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the food was good but nothing particularly special. Unfortunately, the cocktails were a bit underwhelming and didn't quite live up to expectations. On the bright side, the music was great and added to the ambiance of the restaurant. One thing to note is that they take reservations seriously, so don't be late if you have one. Overall, a decent experience but not necessarily a standout among the many dining options in Miami. My favorite was the dessert.

I went there on a Saturday night with friends who were visiting Miami. The Deck never disappoints, it was fun, energetic, and with live entertainment. Food & drinks are ok. Dining next to big yachts is always a plus 👌

Super posh. Food was yummy, view spectacular. Prices are $$$$. Desserts were delicious! Amazing atmosphere. Music was great especially the violin guy... but a tad too loud, couldn't hear the people next to you.

The deck is definitely a Miami experience, I had my fan! Be ready to spend some good money or make sure to find someone who will pay it for you. Food is very ok but drinks are perfect.

The place was good food was good the server was very knowledgeable and recommended the platea we had. However they’re was a lady on the front desk that had very very nasty attitude. I couldn’t even catch her name because she refused to answer. Bad way to greet at customers.

Good food, good service, great view, it is a fun environment and a show off place (very Miami style). Charred octopus and lobster ravioli were great!

Came for Sunday brunch - nice variety of tasty food. Servers and bar staff very attentive and pleasant. Reasonably priced for Miami standards.

Food: Not a highlight for a european who is used to european food. Price: Food too expensive as reasoned above, drinks are ok. Service: Wasn‘t too motivated, but attentive. Atmosphere: Amazing! Stunning scenery with a good DJ and even a fire show. You won‘t ger bored. Notes: Go for the drinks & for the vibe but not for the food!

One of the best use in Miami. The food is great. Prices are more on the high scale, but the food is worth it very good. Service was outstanding. Please note that will be included to all your bills 20%. They have valet parking or self parking for $15.be aware that this is an outdoor place so if there is expectation of rain, you will get wet. Limited seating that is covered.

The place is located next to the children's museum in the marine with an amazing view : our beautiful Biscayne bay ..it is full outdoor place which makes you feel confortable specially now with this pandemic.. it is a beautifil restaurant, good service, nice live music. Food is O.K a little over priced for the quality . My friends took me there for my birthday dinner celebration. Definetely , I will be back maybe for a brunch !!

From Canada all the way to this beautiful place on a sunny day ! 🙏🏽 My team and i enjoyed ourselves! Great service, amazing food, heliport, yatch view 🌞 Next year for another Time. Definitely on our list

The atmosphere and views here are beautiful. It’s on the marina, yachts everywhere, beautiful lights everywhere, gives a New York vibe. The food here was good too, we ordered 3 pizzas((2)truffle oil pizzas and (1) Margherita pizza, 2 salads, 1 tuna tartare, 6 lychee martinis and 1 coffee. Total bill came out to $365. The food overall rating is give is 8.5/10 however as for the price, IMO it is expensive. We went on a Friday night and it was a quiet night, surprisingly. Oh and the music here is great!!! Our server was great too, a young guy but didn’t catch his name- he provided efficient service. Definitely check this place out at least once while in Miami.

Lovely waterside location which is extra nice during the boat show. Valet available and the Decor is beautiful on the deck. We ordered lunch which was delicious, however the flies were completely out of control. Potentially the center of the deck the flies may not be so bad, but we couldn’t event eat the flies were so bad. They really need to spray. I hear this is a great place for evening cocktails and Sunday Brunch and will likely try to come back and give that a try.

JUST FOR THE VIEWS!! Service - 5 Food - 2 Ambience - 5 Price-to-quality ratio : 3 The Deck at Island Gardens is all about the views. The location is stunning, with an unbeatable backdrop of downtown Miami. The ambiance is great, and the service was solid—no complaints there. Now, onto the food. I only tried the happy hour menu, and honestly, it felt like it was designed for tourists who won’t be coming back. The salmon crispy rice? Easily the worst I’ve ever had. The beef carpaccio? Laughably bad. And the pizza? I’d take a frozen one from the grocery store over what they served. For the prices they charge, the quality is seriously lacking. The price-to-quality ratio is just not there. That said, this place has a lot of potential. If they overhauled the menu and focused on delivering food that matches the setting, it could be amazing. The highlight of the night? The wine tasting put together by the Miami Guide team. I sampled five wines, and all were solid. My top picks were the Malbec and the Saint-Émilion Cab Sauvignon—both full-bodied with great structure. Definitely an experience worth repeating and I truly recommend for any one who loves to sip on great wines. Would I come back? For the views and maybe another wine tasting. For the food? Not unless they make some serious changes.

We've been there twice. This second time, just the two of us for my birthday celebration. When making the reservation, I was asked what the occasion was and if it was a birthday celebration, which I confirmed. We ordered two drinks, one From St Barth's with Love, which was tasteless. The food was OK. The service? We had three different servers. The food was delivered in the middle of the table, not in front of each of us. When ordering the desserts, my wife needed to ask for a candle. The question about the kind of celebration seemed "out of curiosity." The place is beautiful. The first time we were there, the atmosphere was amazing, now... not much. It was a Thursday so you can imagine some activity, but seems that it lost its touch.

The restaurant is located on beautiful Harbor. Food is great and the service is not bad 👍 but music is too loud, that you can’t talk.

3 stars for overall experience; 1. the location is great - either uber or valet, there is a city parking lot but you'll have to walk to restaurant. the views of highrises are a nice backdrop for pictures and the yachts fancy up the experience. 2. there is a 2hr table limit (the hostess mentions this to you when you check in) which is absurdly laughable considering the server and kitchen takes extremely long! 3. the food, well it was definitely a hit and lots of misses in execution. Our table ordered just under $1,000 worth of food and drinks (3 bottles of white wine, 1 cocktail, 1 soda, 2 appetizers, 3 salads, 1 pizza, 7 entrees and 2 sides) the tuna tartare was fantastic and fresh. the octopus was well executed. the endive salad and cesar salads were forgettable, the burrata and fig was great however i don't understand why they classified it under salads when not one shred of greens were on the plate. the pear and gorgonzola pizza was a great match and another loved dish. the filet was overcooked and served room temperature - noticed that check states med-well instead of med-rare as asked, definitely auditory mistake on the server's part but we waited for over an hour for food so we didn't send back. the scallops smelled very fishy and only 3 between small/medium sized scallops per order. the wild mushroom risotto was less than desirable even with the truffle accent - the restaurant used long grain rice instead of short grain rice, so it wasn't as creamy like a traditional risotto. the short rib pappardelle pasta had wonderful flavor but the pasta was over cooked and mushy. the seafood pasta was good but very very small portion. the whipped mashed potatoes were an excellent side. the truffle french fries came cold. we didn't want to wait around for dessert. the 20% automatically included gratuity was unjustified! i believe the service was so supremely supbar because the server knows they don't have to provide decent service since it'll already be included. the music is loud but enjoyable, the entertainers were delightful. we all laughed when we asked for pepper and the server brought us salt and pepper packets - such a "fancy" place and they don't even provide fresh cracked pepper 😏 feel like it's a been there done that once kind of place.

Nice spot , all outdoors right now Aug , hot as hell. We went for dinner, pricy, Had octopus appetizer , carpaccio appetizer Main course ordered the lollipop lamb chops with pistachios crust absolutely delicious. I had the lobster ravioli which was good , l think it was 6 small pieces, but pasta for $50 is way to high. our friends ordered the filet and the brazino. Drinks and a bottle of wine. Dinner for 4 was $600 and $20 parking.0 It's getting crazy to go out. It was hot, I think for the price tag it should have an AC area Good to go once , but we won't be coming back, there are other places much better and cheaper

The place amazing at night just glamorous. Very very expensive, worth one visit. Food is below average, portions are very small , more of tasting rather than full dishes. Steak was over cooked and tasteless. We went for our Valentine day. $700 for two royal romance night set menu including drinks and food, not including valet ($30 normal $100 VIP), not including tips. Music ok they had dancers for valentine. I would go at night for drinks only , food not worth it.

The Deck at Island Garden was a pleasant experience to do something different. The environment was lovely; the view was beautiful, and it would have been a great place to have a great time while celebrating my love's birthday. However, the service from our server was horrible, to the point of being disgusting, because it was clear that she did not want to be bothered by us. Everyone else we came in contact with was great, but the server ruined it for us wishing to return because I will not spend my money to be treated like garbage. The food was decent; it was cold by the time we got it, but great presentation. The music was so loud that we had to scream to talk to each other. Our reservations were after 8 pm, so I think it's more of a party vibe than a restaurant, and boy, they do know how to party!

The location is good, and the place is lovely. Sadly the outdoor sitting area is not well planned. The need for giant umbrellas to cover the outdoor seating area is imperative as customers who are not lucky enough are eating at 100 degrees, with flies around your food and your drinks. Very disappointed with customer service. The girls are more worried about the way they look than to provide courteous services. We didn't eat much, as it was very uncomfortable and the food quality was not good. The DJ played good music; he was smoking. The smell ruin our lunch. Never again.

Nice place and good food and friendly service The 3 stars are for the outdoor sitting area and the waves of flies that was persistent to share with us our plates and even drinks yes it landed in my glass of wine and in my mouth...... this is unbelievable and never happened to me even in 3rd world countries and here we are in Florida Miami and apparently the exterminators are unfortunately missing in action! Also there is very few big umbrellas to cover the outdoor seating and the customers who are not lucky enough to get a decent umbrellas they are suffering from hiding and changing seats to avoid the really striking direct sun heat meanwhile pushing away the flies to enjoy the food and drinks What is going on in this place and how they get the lovely location without a serious investment on the outdoor seating area? It break my heart to give a bad review on this lovely location and very good food but this situation should be fixed ASAP

The food is ok, there are better restaurants with a similar price point in the water front areas of Miami Beach. The atmosphere and service are great though. I would come back for a nice vibe with friends at happy hour or quick bites. Ordered the lobster risotto. It had a nice sherry like cream sauce but the lobster was tough and over cooked. My dad ordered the branzino which had bones in it(Big No No). The drinks are nice.

Nice view but not awesome, the show is “kind of nice” in this place, if I could give -5 stars to service I would, the food is something you can easily make at home, nothing special, the watery drinks… OMG! the bar tender should be fired, drinks are only ice and decoration, no flavor at all, I’m sure I can make better mojitos and pina colada that the bar tender and don’t let me start with the food, nothing special, in conclusion, this place is overrated and overpriced, will certainly not be back, table was dirty all the time, the server did not remove the dirty plates and only changed the cutlery because we asked them😡 , served water w/o ice,did not offer new drinks when the glass was empty, if I was the owner of this place I’d ask myself why I’m not making more money, it’s because or your servers mister. In conclusion, Don’t waste your time in this place

The location is really nice and feels very Miami. Unfortunately the yachts and sea level position result in a completely obscured view. The menu has a nice selection of pizza, pastas, and some other dishes. Unfortunately, the dishes we had lacked in any designed flavor profile and were cooked with mediocre technique. The mango cocktail and french fries were fantastic. I'll be thinking about the cocktail for a while. In the end, the prices are very high for a place with little substance to keep foodies happy. If you're a tourist in Miami, it's a nice spot for cocktails and to take pictures with amazing yachts.

👏🏼Over👏🏼priced👏🏼 Limit of 2 hours. Our food was cooked under 30 minutes. The portions are not as expected. The drinks are doubled in price. Our bill was for 4 people. Service felt as if we had to eat in a rush. We ended up leaving within 55 minutes and going somewhere else to finish eating.

Just visited last Saturday with my husband. I’ve been several times before and always a very nice atmosphere. We’ve ordered oysters from happy hour a dozen and at the moment everything seemed fine, before the middle of the night when we got absolutely sick and throwing up. Now that I think about it there were a couple of oysters that looked questionable. Terrible experience - still sick and can’t do anything. Yesterday we even went to the ER to get checked up. On top of all that I have a 2.5 months old baby - which put more danger on her than even us.
