The best taste ever! This restaurant truly has the best menu for foods, and it was all tasty. I've been here many times, and still, the taste was exceptional. The foods here are really mouthwatering, and I would like to commend these guys for making it happen. Truly an excellent restaurant that can satisfy your cravings! Very worth it!
Fantastic food, nice surroundings... you feel like home
Fantastic food in a very pleasant atmosphere, a real recommendation for Miami visitors!
It's been years since I've been here, but about to plan a trip to Miami and can't wait to take a jaunt off the beaten, South Beach path to reminisce this gem. Great food and ambiance on the outdoor patio.
Great food. Not that expensive. Made me feel Im not in Miami
Great restaurante!! Delicious food at reasonable prices... the meatballs, octpous, fried calamari.. among the vest I've have had in my life!!!
Quaint, excellent food. Grilled octopus highly recommended, great service
Beautiful decor but food lost a lot in quality. I had to return the octopus, calamari were very dry and the servers, even if polite and friendly, didn t care much about
Consistently Great experience. Wonderful ambience, terrific food. Highly recommended.
Exceptional service and would love to give a 5 star but there should always be room for improvement and wasn't absolute perfection but pretty close. However this service, location, cleanliness, room, amenities and everything Bout this hotel made it outstanding and would stay here again in a heartbeat. The rooftop pool and views were spectacular. Good great, front desk service.
The food and service are always excellent. Outdoor seating is promonately available, with some indoor (if preferred). The staff warmly accommodates allergies by reccommending a variety of options the guest could enjoy. Always an excellent experience!
As always, Mandolin is an exceptional experience. The grilled octopus, salads, and yes even the french fries with garlic yogurt sauce, are the best I've ever had. Round this out with the wonderful environment and great staff and you can't ask for anything better.
Greek food, yeah, awesome. certainly a top place in the area. the staff was very kind and attentive. the place has a good feel to it.
Amazing food, try the dumplings and kofta, it s so delicious
I absolutely love Mandolin!! As a plant based (Vegan) eater there are several options to choose from. We ended up ordering the Turkish meze with veggies. I m not usually a big eggplant fan, but this was simply fabulous.
I completely forgot to snap pics of the horta and cauliflower, both of which were amazing! Every time I go to a Mediterranean restaurant and they offer horta, I order it. It really takes me back to my trip to Crete and the incredible horta that was harvested while I was visiting.
Horta is a great source of non-heme iron. To help increase the iron absorption make sure to squeeze the lemon on it! #plantbasedtips
I'm surprised I haven't written a review here. I've been at least 5-6 times over the last few years living in Miami. I love the space, and on a nice day, you can't beat it. I always end up getting the meze, and they allow you to mix and match different dips. The bread is great, it's more of a Turkish/Greek style bread versus a flat pita. Excellent.
I typically get lamb based dishes here, the pulled lab is wonderful. I tried the Pork Souflaki last time, it was a bit overcooked but decent.
Typically great service, this is a great spot, especially for lunch.
Delicious food and romantic ambiance. Such a great spot for a date night. Try the pita and dips- the tapenade is incredible.
Simply the best restaurant in Miami. Both the food and general decor and ambiance were absolutely outstanding. Exceeding all expectations, Mandolin is the kind of place you remember of when you look back on your time in Miami.
Super tasty dishes, they have a sushi that they cook on your table, what a delicious sushi
Lovely atmosphere, the food is delicious and the service is phenomenal. It feels like a small getaway in the middle of Miami.
I highly recommend it. I loved all attention good food excellent cozy place.
This restaurant is well-known for its food, especially for tourists. I've heard that a lot of artists and celebrities have been here because the food is truly delicious. They serve generous servings at affordable prices, and the staff here are very friendly and attentive. We will come back and recommend the place to my friends and family.
Unbelievable venue (consider goingbwhen it is not humid because the outdoor patio cannot be beat). Service was incredibly accomodating and provided us with free desserts when one of our meals was not as expected (they had a brand new kitchen the day prior and working out the kinks so a meal was slightly overdone). The best baklava I have ever had and if you're looking to judge a place based on the classics, go for the spicy gyro, 2 meze platters and the sea bass. Pay the extra $1 for fresh baked pita too. Sangria left something to be desired, was tasty but more wine over juice/fruit would have been preferred. 1000000% coming back to try the rest of the menu!!!
Do yourself a major favor and go to this restaurant. They re very keen on minimalism in their foods, which I love. Everything was great from the breathtaking view, the service and attention to detail from every staff member we came across, the atmosphere, and our meal. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion, date night, or just looking for new experience without sacrificing service. Highly recommended!
Very good atmosphere, beef souvlaki highly recommended
Amazing
Favorito place
The service and the food were exceptionally good; had the sampler, octopus and feta cheese. It was delicious. A bit on the expensive side for Miami but definitely worth it.
Greatest spot in design district. Excellent food and outdoor courtyard
Great ambiance and food. Definitely worth a try. Recomend evening/sunset dining. Close walk from shopping in design district
Every time am in Miami this is just the spot food is healthy clean tasty and very exotic taste
Unique restaurant if you can sit outside in at a table which has a fan. Fun to bring out of town friends here. Most of the food is good but the baklava and turkish coffee are destination worthy. Slighty expensive for what it is.
I'm from Turkey, and my mom's whole family from Greece. This place created for me I think, bc the restaurant is serving from Greek & Turkish cuisine Manti and stuffed vegetables are delicious. Cozy and peaceful place.
It's a bit expensive, but even with high cost, this place is great. The food is simple, well prepared, and tasty. Every dish has a unique flavor and freshness that could satisfy even the toughest of critics. Aside from the food what adds a unique and pleasant touch to mandolin is the service and ambiance. Sit outside, look around and be transported to greece with the sights, smells, and sounds of your favorite island.
Must try dishes: Kefte, Clams or Mussels, the Greek sampler but ask to swap the walnut dip for the fava bean. And last but in no way least the homemade Baklava.
The bread they give as free appetizer is fresh baked and seasoned perfectly. Pulled lamb was perfectly marinated. Can be kind of busy. While you wait I recommend walking the design district.
Reading the story behind this restaurant is beautiful, knowing that this was once a home purchased by a couple who decided to bring both their Turkish and Greek style dishes and ambiance to such a perfect home to seat many guest is probably one of the most creative and touching stories! But wow, the dishes are out of this world. The quality to the flavors and knowing that is all grown in house is quite amazing! My partner and I have been here for the 5th time and honestly, we can't get enough! We have brought friends and family each and every time to have just as much of a great experience as we did! The staff is always amazing and extremely attentive, our friend Sergio is one of the Chefs there who recommended us to stop by and we're so glad he did! He also has stated how proud he is to work there. To me this place is genuinely underrated, should be voted one of the top best restaurants in miami taking in the win for quality, authenticity and great vibes on any day of the week!
If there's any dishes I can recommend I'd say:
App
Ali Nazki - grounded lamb over smoked eggplant yogurt
Fried Calamari (it is very very hard to find good quality calamari with a great dip, this one takes the win in miami so far)
Cheese Saganki
Greek Village
Spicy mandolin kebab
Arugula salad
Mains:
Manti dumplings
Branzini
Lamb chops
All sides are great!
Hope you can step in to Mandolin for a night in Greece!
This was maybe the freshest Greek food I have ever eaten. Greek salad was SUPERB. The natural wine of the day was heavenly. Great service. Great atmosphere.
This is a gem, highly recommended. The food is amazing and the service out of this world. If you're into Turkish or Greek food, this is the place to be.
The food was heaven on earth! Socozy and cute. Exceeded my expectations. Great atmosphere and nicest staff. Our waiter was very friendly. Truly enjoyed this restaurant. Had a delightful afternoon there.
Excellent Alfresco Greek cuisine, shame it closed at Soho Beach House
I love the outdoor ambiance, the food, the wine list and the people. The entire staff @ Mandolin is always so friendly and accommodating.
One of the BEST restaurants in Miami. PERIOD
This is my 3rd time returning to Mandolin, Amazing Ambiance feels like you are sitting in the decorated backyard of your home, Delicious Food, Although Vegetarian choices are limited for Main course, Appetizers and starters were plenty of delicious choices, Branzino full Fish was Divine and to top it all the service was Fantastic everyone including waitresses, waiters and servers extremely courteous, it's a hidden treasure, must experience yourself, it is a very well run family style restaurant, Manager Jazmine does a great job accommodating everyone.
Beautiful garden setting, great food, good service. You can easily forget your in Miami and not somewhere in Greece!!
The place is beautiful and the atmosphere is amazing. I sat at the inside garden and fully enjoyed the white&blue contrasts, which make you feel like in a greek island. Service was great, I had a branzino and it was delicious. Love it!
Terrace is beautiful, an oasis. But quality calling, too expensive for what you get ....
Great atmosphere, amazing food everything we ordered was super good except for the lamb burger.
Excellent place! The food was delicious. We order different dishes to give it a try. The waiter help us to choose.
The place it has nice decoration.
Great food. Great atmosphere. Awesome service! Monica was great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Come hungry!
I went to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday on Friday. Then I went out to celebrate but my boyfriend stayed home to rest. He woke up at 1am with a stomach ache and threw up. Then on Sunday, I woke up nauseous and I ve been feeling super tired all day. We did order mussels, octopus and I had a big fried fish. The food was great but maybe the sea food wasn t fresh. There was certainly something that didn t settled well in our stomachs. So be careful with what you order here!
Best sangria in town. If haven`t tried it - you`ve missed a lot ! Highly recommend. Patio was very nice and accommodating and staff was amazing. Big thanks.
Went here on recommendation of a few different friends and were pleasantly delighted. We went for lunch because it was easier to get a seat, and sat in a covered courtyard with a lot of charm. They also have a small indoor area too but the courtyard is a real draw and I can imagine how nice it would be in the evening. The food was excellent and tasteful, but also incredibly healthy. We shared the Turkish Mezze platter, Lamb Burger, stuffed zucchini, and octopus. Hard to pick a favorite since they were all just right on point. Finished off the meal with some turkish coffee and turkish delights. Outstanding! Cant wait to go back and try other items on the menu that looked and sounded amazing.
Excellent food in pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Very friendly service.
Please check this restaurant!!!! Delicious food, super cool place and nice people!!! I loved.
The food was amazing and the place is also super set.
We were in a group of 5 people and we didn't even order a main course, only the appetizers and side dishes were so good that it was just like dinner.
First class service. Super attentive and efficient.
It is impossible not to recommend this place.
Mandolin is the top option for those looking for the best Greek & Turkish Cuisine. I was amazed and impressed with its amazing 30 s style that makes you feel like home.
Service is just another level, waiters are very welcoming and they make sure your experience is the most enjoyable.
Food is just top-notch and desserts are amazing!
Some tips:
Make sure you have a reservation, this place is usually full and peak hour starts at 6:00 pm (even on Mondays)
Salads are spectacular
One of the best dinner I had in town. Recommend the calamari, shrimps, fries with garlic, mussels but everything was delicious. Just avoid the wine (very expensive) and go for cocktails
Make sure to reserve on time.
First of all: Food is delicious, but menu should include more options. It s also more expensive than your regular Mediterranean restaurant.
I am allergic to tree nuts. I informed the server . There where walnuts in my food . I almost had to go to the hospital and we where still charged for lunch
Best restaurant in town. Proper Greek with great atmosphere and service.
Great atmosphere, great food, beautiful people, price right, server very courteous. It has become one of my favorite places in Miami.
We had a great dining experience here . Recommend the baked feta. We enjoyed
Saganaki, meatballs, white sangria.
Our server Hillary was fantastic. Unpretentious fabulous patio.
Excellent service and all delicious congratulations
Wonderful, now that you can seat outdoors, go and enjoy.
The food is delicious. Best grilled octopus, por souvlaki.
Beautiful outdoor setting, wonderful Mediterranean dishes, the best grilled octopus, mantillas dumpling dish is exceptional, village Greek salad is a delight(extra feta). Great lunch spot with a glass of sangria
