Mandolin Aegean Bistro. www.mandolinmiami.com/ Reviews

Excellent attention, picturesque and pleasant site, good natural energy. Good choice for lovers of good Mediterranean food.

The restaurant was half full on a Sunday at 9pm and the host told us we need a reservation otherwise it would be a 45min wait.

Even on google it says less busy than usual and no wait. It was a bit bizarre.

Food is really good and tasty. Ambiance is nice. Good price.

I went to eat with my brother and his food had a hair, when we saw my dish it turns out that he also had a hair, super disgusting we stopped and we left running more never come back and I would never recommend it in spite of how nice the place is

Good atmosphere, good food, prices between moderate and high

Went with dear friends who live in South Beach, we live in Delray. I had picked another restaurant but their concierge advised us not to go and recommended Mandolin. Good move.

Charming Mediterranean style restaurant with mostly outside seating.

They have an extensive menu including mezes(starters), salads, sandwiches, and mains.

We had just starters including mussels, in a white wine. garlic, lemon and oregano sauce. Very good. Also cheese saganski, good and roasted beets over a tahini yogurt with sesame seeds and mint, very good. Then the grilled octopus done to perfection and lastly a Greek village salad, tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, red onion, feta, olives, and capers, also very good.

A restaurant well worth trying but make reservations

I love it! Great small plates. Expect to get many platters. Great place with amazing dishes and new tastes in food. Excellent service and the tapas were delicious. Thanks guys!

Mandolin is a Greek restaurant serving delicious and authentic food in an upcoming part of Miami. The restaurant feels very homey and often has seasonal options on the menu. My favorite appetizer is the hummus, since it s an food most people like. I recommend getting the chicken kebab, but there are so many other amazing foods on the menu to check out. For dessert, the baklava is a must-do and it is so good, it s not as good as the baklava in Istanbul, but it s definitely the best baklava I have had in Miami.

This is a magical place with authentic , thoughtful cooking and a quirky wine list filled with unexpected treasures.

This is by far the best Greek restaurant in the entire world. I have been to Greece several time, and this is as authentic as any great restaurant in Greece. Go for the octopus, the Greek salad is a must, zucchini and every random thing from the menu. We stopped ordering just because we could not physically eat anymore.

Eggplants dipp and humus.with pita bread , turkish salad , and fish grilled in a bed of quinoa with vegetables .

The most romantic and relaxing place in Miami !!!!!! It's different... that's why love it!
Maybe a little expensive but Food Amazing... !!!!!!!
I am in love in this place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing like Mandolin UNLESS you re in Mykonos. The food, the staff, the scene and the overall vibe is on another level of awesome . Highly Recommend !

The place is great! The food here amazing. The service here is awesome. Recommended

Amazing athmosphere with really helpful staff. I have been going here for at least 3 years and hopefully we'll continue to come :)

The atmosphere was beautiful, the staff was really great, snd the food was amazing. Loved the outdoor space!

The whole vibe of this place is straight out of greece. The food was amazing and some of the best octopus I've ever had. Carlos was extremely helpful and friendly. Will return next time I'm in Miami.

The highlight was definitely the service. Our waiter delivered the best service we have experienced in years.

2 turkish coffees = 10 usd
1 baklava = 12 usd

The coffees were actually the size of half an espresso, no spices, no flavor, most horrific and overpriced turkish coffee i have ever tried in my life, i really don'T understand who and how is the turkish coffee made here, please don't try it! no cardamom, no nothing, REALLY BAD!

The Baklava was a little less than ok, but for the size, the size of a 2 year old kid's shoe, it is WAY OVERPRICED.

Mandolin was great and fair priced for it's first year, but i guess after being bought by a big company it just lost it's quality.

A perfect example of TRENDS IN MIAMI, people go there because it has a name, but it will soon be JUST ANOTHER NAME.

GREAT SERVICE anyhow.

Lovely experience. The atmosphere is inspiring and the food is quite good. Make sure you go on a sunny day as you'll most likely be eating outside. You definitely need a reservation.

Oh gosh! I loved this place. Super great food and the ambiance was amazing. I've had a great time. The service was great. It's very romantic and intimate. I would suggest making a reservation. They also have a valet for $5 (4 hrs) just around the corner. I will definitely go back :)

The only negative comment I have is that there was one customer who blatantly smoked cigarettes... yuck! I'm new to Miami, so I'm not sure what the laws are but it was disgusting.

Amazing place and outstanding service!!! Our server ainara was incredible. Cant wait to be back

You will get addicted to this magical place!
Excellent service, atmosphere and the best Greek-Turkish food in Miami.
Everything is succulent!
To come back again and again!

Amazing service, best food of Miami and beautiful place!!!!!
Congrats

Nice spot for Greek food. visited at eight, it was not full.

greek food and the feeling at this location is super good. great place to relax, people watch, eat good food or all the above. looking forward to returning with my coworkers. this place has a nice feel to it.

A fav spot for tasty Greek food. Good place to catch up with friends. I've had nothing but pleasant experiences here and plan to keep coming back. The prices are good for what you get.

Love love love! The food is great, and it feels like a cozy backyard to eat in their very beautiful courtyard. I really like to eat lunch here on a crisp fall day, and sit outside. The lamb burger is my favorite! 5 stars.

This place was fantastic on every front. The ambiance, decor, service and FOOD!! We got the whole grilled fish and it was probably the best fish my husband and I have ever had out. We also got the stuffed zucchini, that was OK but quickly became great once u spread the yogurt on top. The fries were made fresh and hand cut not frozen and you can taste it; the vegetable soup was incredibly flavorful; the haloumi cheese was a bit salty buy the tomatoes balanced it out very nicely. Everything was outstanding I definitely want to come back again before I leave. I was too full to try the dessert but would have loved to taste it.

One of the best Mediterranean restaurants I've had the pleasure of visiting. The food was fantastic and a pleasant atmosphere.

I came here looking for a light meal and I was not disappointed at all. I had feta salad with fresh bread on side and everything was very delicious. They also have really nice yard decorated in Greek colours and the service was excellent.

The atmosphere is incredible. The food pretty good. The best dessert. Great service.

The grilled seabass and Turkish coffee were absolutely perfect but I had the Greek salad and it was not very good, the tomatoes were straight out of the fridge and when tomatoes are kept in a fridge like that they lose their taste and are very watery. I will say it was taken off my bill because I couldn t eat most of it so at least there is that, very nice of them.

Can you give a thousand stars? Greek food without exaggeration of seasoning, all very fresh and tasty. Super cozy atmosphere, very familiar.

Mandolin is my favorite greek restaurant! Outdoor sitting and beautiful decoration

Terrible, I used to Love This Place , Found Out that the Main Man Eli Who was the Manager is No Longer Here , Service and Food Quality Very Disappointing
Sorry to Say we Will Never Be Back , North Miami Beach has Much Better Restaurants Dont Waste Your Money , Forgot to Mention the 45 Minute Wait to Get Stuck Sitting inside New Hostess with Bad Attitude
Bye Felicia

Believe all the reviews; the food is absolutely amazing. Even if you have a reservation, be prepared to wait forever. The host in the front is terrible and rude but everything about the meal was satisfying. The meat was flavorful and went really well with the sauce, tomatoes, and vegetables. The serving was pretty generous; I got really full from the meal.

Parking looked like it would be difficult since you cant park in the residential area. I live within walking distance so it was very convenient for me but I can imagine it would be difficult to drive here and find parking.

The food took a really long time to get out. Around 35 minutes.

But overall the food was so mouthwateringly good, I would definitely go again, i just wish they would get rid of the host.

Used to love this place and always came back when visiting Miami.
Yesterday though I had a very nice scarf stolen after leaving it at the table when we left, after 5 minutes. The staff were not helpful and borderline rude when we asked for help. It was also not reassuring when they mentioned that this happens all the time and we ll probably get it back.
Also agree on the attitude of the hostess that has been mentioned in other comments.

The location adds to the allure of a city, already located greatly!

Classic Greek restaurant, with madeterrian vibe both inside and out. Table service compliments the friendly traditional environment.

Excellent Greek restaurant. Superb atmosphere and friendly waiters. Good experience.

One of my favorite restaurants in Miami! Amazing food and vibe!

Staff was super friendly and helpful. The wait was a little long because I came here without a reservation but they were willing to accomodate me. The fries were amazing. Definitely check it out but get a reservation.

As another reviewer wrote. Terrible service. Super rude staff. They think they do you a favor by finding you a table in the corner where you can barely move your arms. You are literally having a conversation and dinner with the next person to you (a total stranger). The food is ok, but way over priced. The wine is nothing special, but you pay a price (as if it's the last glass of wine left in the desert). The blonde over weight manager is a rude and very unpleasant woman. By far, the worst service I've ever experienced in all my years of dinning out. YUCK!

I truly had fun at this place, the food is outstanding, as well as the washrooms were clean. It was a little chilly indoors, definatly was not the most enjoyable. The vibe is great. I will certainly consider going back again if I have the chance. Me and my buddy ordered the sandwiches and we were not let down. My one tip is to maintain the cool outside. Till next time!

Unique dining experience without breaking the bank.

Stopped only for a drink after walking around Miami design district! I rate it this much only for experiencing the atmosphere which is really great! I'll be sure to get some food next time, but I can definately say it's worth stopping by! Yummy smells all around and cocktails were great!

Beautiful place , great service , simple and delicious greek food . Ronnie was a great server , and Paul was very friendly. Made us feel very welcomed . We will be back

Delicious with an outstanding patio... excellent host and service

One of the best buffet! The selection is awesome, and everybody will surely have something that they will enjoy from appetizers to desserts. The place is nicely lit, and the ambiance is great. You will be surprised how it can adjust without effort from an intimate dinner for two to a family or friends gathering. I strongly recommend this restaurant!

Very nice place with friendly and attentive service. Mediterranean inspired food with very good flavor and variety. Fair prices.

Expensive. Very small portions. Nice place. Good service.

The food is amazing! The environment is beautiful and very romantic, the staff are super professional and friendly!! Loved this place, highly recommend

Exquisite, very good food. Delicious the cauliflower, the carrot and beet salad and the super mussels.
Excellent attention and very nice place.

If you're a fan of Mediterranean food then this is the place to go in Miami. You can't go wrong with anything here from the appetizers to the salads and even the main dishes. Some stand outs were the arugula salad, kofte, calamari, and the moussaka. Haven't had Mediterranean food this authentic and good since I was looking in Europe. The atmosphere is awesome as well offering seating inside and outside. Service was on point as well. Definitely recommend.

Wonderfully charming, matches by the food and service.

Great and tasty food. Quick service. Good atmosphere. A bit expensive. Try the turkish coffee.

Amazing service and meal presentation! One of the best and most unique menus in Miami! Parking is limited or restricted in this neighborhood but there is a very inexpensive Vallet service down the block which we used with no issues.

Food was average and expensive. You're paying for location and the Miami flare.

Did not feel cozy or personable. Better options out there.

Beautiful restaurant, it really feels like if you re in Greece. The food was delicious and service was great. However, I had a reservation and had to wait another hour to be seated. Overall, I had a good experience at mandolin Aegean bistro!

Great food but jitchen took 1.5 hrs to serve the main course...we were about to cancel and manager came to apologize...hope next time won't happen

Great meal and ambiance. Will definitely come back here for dates, family and friends dinners. You can't go wrong here.
