Best restaurants near me in Opa-locka, FL

UPDATE: After posting my original review, I received a personal phone call from Ernest, the restaurant manager. We had a professional and respectful conversation regarding the Tomahawk side-charge issue, and I felt it was only fair to update my review. The food remains outstanding. The Tomahawk Wagyu Americano was excellent—tender throughout with exceptional quality. The grilled octopus was one of the best and most tender we have had. The cocktails were equally impressive. The cachaça in my caipirinha and the Aperol cocktail my wife ordered were both excellent. During our conversation, Ernest explained that the four sides are in fact included with the Tomahawk. The additional charges on our bill resulted from an ordering mistake, not from restaurant policy. The sides should have been included. As I mentioned before, the restaurant is transitioning from traditional paper menus to electronic tablets. I actually like this modernization effort and understand there can be a learning curve when implementing new systems and training staff. What impressed me most was not the $24 refund. We ordered a $180 Tomahawk, four cocktails, and an octopus appetizer. We knew the bill would be several hundred dollars and were completely comfortable with that. The issue was never the money—it was making sure the menu and the final bill matched. Most importantly, Ernest personally reached out, listened, explained what happened, took ownership of the issue, and made it right. That is what great managers do. We never blamed the server, who was attentive and professional throughout the evening. The live music, atmosphere, birthday celebrations, and overall hospitality made for a wonderful experience. Because of Ernest’s professionalism and commitment to customer service, we look forward to returning. Thank you, Ernest, for demonstrating accountability, professionalism, and genuine concern for your guests. Those qualities are a tremendous asset to any restaurant.

Had a great dining experience there last night to celebrate a graduation. Food was delicious and service was great. I would highly recommend this restaurant for an intimate date or special event. The decor and ambiance was beautiful as well. The menu had a variety of cuisines too.

The tasting menu with the pairing was very nice. Good flavors and great choices on the wines.

Always enjoy their meats. Food was above average and the service was great.

The service we get from Claudia goes above and beyond. She is amazing!!!!
