I came here for the view, and stayed for dinner. And I gotta say, it was so worth it! I wanted to take pictures of the Miami skyline from this area so decided to make reservations at the restaurant. I was seated outside and the view of the city was beautiful. Yes, the big fancy yachts get in the way of the view, but it was still very nice. On to the food...I asked the waiter what he recommends and he mentioned that the Braised Short Rib Pappardelle was his favorite, so I decided to give it a try. It was fantastic, and I'm so happy that I ordered it. For dessert, I had the Chocolate Nemesis. It's a flourless chocolate cake with red wine gel, dark chocolate on top and 24k edible gold. Yes, it was delicious. The perfect dessert if you like chocolate. I recommend The Deck for a dinner with that special someone. The vibe is very relaxed and the view is spectacular.

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.

My family and I went to Deck at Island Gardens to celebrate my cousin's birthday. It is a really nice upscale outdoor only restaurant. At first we were seated where there was no shade but the wait staff was truly accommodating and placed us where there was plenty shading and near the food. The brunch food was served buffet style with different meats, seafood, and desserts. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. They offer 3 meal plans (I can't remember each price). We decided on the 95 per person which came with a complimentary mimosa or peach bellini. The drink was okay but I wish we opted for the cheaper plan where we can choose our own drinks. All and all the experience was pretty great. Will definitely return.

The service was great! Jose at the bar took care of me. The ambiance was cute. I don't like that the bar faces a wall instead of the restaurant or marina, but I still enjoyed myself. The food was good. I expected more greenery in my salad than was presented but everything was fresh, so I would get the buratta salad again but I left hungry. I will say it took a while for the hostess to seat guests. I waited in the hostess line (unnecessarily) for 10 minutes and it wasn't very busy.

A great romantic dinner or showstopper event dinner spot with outstanding views of downtown. This all outdoor restaurant serves a great variety of yummy dishes. The octopus was my favorite! There are many servers and staff roaming around making finding help super easy will be back :)

Amazing Sunday brunch. Parking is Valet only. $25 + tip. Buffet has two options unlimited brunch only for $85 + tip or Unlimited Brunch and Unlimited Mimosas for $125 + tip. It is worth it. The food is GOOD. They also offer tons of high quality food. Lamb chops, Steak, shrimp, salmon, ceviche(fish, shrimp, veggie), omelette station, salads, rich desserts, etc... I say there for over 3 hours taking in the views and having a great time. The service is also amazing. Our server was Svetlana and she was the best!! They also have a DJ as well as a saxophonist who cranks the place up around 3pm. I will be back for sure.

I made reservations for my family for Mother's Day Brunch. I have to admit I found it interesting that we were made to pay for the whole dining party up front in advance with the reservation. We were excited about the brunch buffet, though. The service during brunch was phenomenal. The scenery also makes for a beautiful backdrop to any dining experience especially with live music playing. The buffet had a great variety of items. There was a seafood station, a grilled meat station, paella, and a variety of breakfast/lunch items.

I saw this place mentioned on Instagram. I was in Miami for the weekend and made reservations on open table app to take advantage of this spectacular brunch experience in the heart of Miami. It's $75 per person which includes their brunch Buffet and one Mimosa. They do have another option where you can pay 135 per person for brunch buffet and unlimited mimosas. They have all types of delicious food. Anything from seafood cocktail shrimp Oyster's octopus ceviche to barbecue meats with chimichurri sauce to paella to an omelette station to a huge Parmesan cheese bowl where they marinate and cook you pasta to amazing perfection, delicious dessert options such as chocolate, croissants, fresh fruits, Greek yogurt, berries, fig cake and almond delight cake rippled in gold flakes, strawberry shortcake so good!! The Mimosa's were on point! The view was spectacular. It wasn't too crowded beautiful happy people everywhere. We had outdoor seating under shaded area so we weren't attacked by the sun. They also had a live DJ play and sing music. It was most definitely a five and a must do one in Miami.
