Chef Adrianne's Vineyard Restaurant and Bar Reviews

What a great gem in West Kendall. From the service to the food it was amazing. The portions are generous so you definitely get your money's worth. An exquisite selction of wine helps too. I am definitely going back.

Finally made it to Chef Adrianne's last night after hearing many good things from friends. The food was amazing. From the appetizer to the entree to the dessert, everything was cooked to perfection and very tasty. We had the bluefin tartare. My wife had the rack of lamb and I had the osso buco. We had the creme brulee for dessert. My wife also raved about the sangria. It is a bit pricey but worth every penny of you enjoy great food and great service to boot. We will definitely be back.

Chef Adrianne's Vineyard Restaurant and Bar Kendall There is a certain clientele that thinks high prices will bring you a culinary experience and for those, Chef Adrianne’s in Kendall is such an establishment. Over cooked snapper, dry bland veal chops, and an osso buco presentation that brought me back to my elementary school cafeteria days was part of our fare. The steaks are your safe port in this culinary mayhem. Add to that an ambiance of golden oak, bad lighting, club music and poor service and your experience is complete. If you were a fan of Devon’s, save the memories and stay away.

It is sad to have to write this review. We have gone to this restaurant before and were always happy. It seems that the owner has opened so many restaurants that the quality of them has slipped. We went there three weekends ago on Saturday night and had reservations for outside seating. We arrived and they said the tables were not open. We waited for an hour before we were seated. We had requested that they seat us at an open table outside, but they refused to. It was empty the whole time. After we were seated, we immediately ordered since we were familiar with the menu. That was the last time we saw our waiter. He never came back to us during the next hour. We were ignored and finally after 45 minutes, I went to the front and asked to speak to the manager. We had not been served except for my wife's soup. I told the front that we were unhappy with the treatment and I wanted to speak to the manager. I told them we were leaving if we were not served. After 15 minutes, the manager came to the table, bringing the food. I told him to take it back that we were not interested in eating after 2 hours. He proceeded to argue with me to eat my steak. I told him that I was not going to stay and to take away my food. He argued with me for five minutes. Rude as can be. I finally told him to take the steak away or I would put it on the next table. He never once apologized for the two hour wait. Finally we got our bill. While we should not have been charged for the food we did not get to eat, They charged for the other food except my steak. The other people took their food. My wife ended up throwing out the food because she was afraid that they would have spit on it. They were mad that we would not accept their slow service and did not discount the bill at all. I did not tip my usual 20%, I gave them nothing. It was not just our problem. They had numerous people at other tables who also complained. One table over was someone we knew. He arrived before us and it took them three tries to get him his dinner. It was uncooked, then they burnt it and then just gave up. His wife was never served her dinner after two hours. They also left without her eating and the manager never even bothered to go see them. Also charged for both meals, even thought one was not served. Sorry for the long review, but this is a sad story. This was a great restaurant once. No more. The management has gone downhill. I understand the issues with eating out now. But if you are short staffed, you don't over book the reservations and make people wait an hour to sit down. You don't overbook beyond your kitchens' ability to prepare food. This is an expensive restaurant, not a fast food chain. You should be better treated. The most important part is you treat your customers fairly. When someone asks to see the manager due to problems, you don't keep them waiting so long. When they indicate problems you don't insult them, but try and resolve the problem. Unfortunately they don't care here.

The service was awful. The water spilled and we were handed napkins to clean it up ourselves. The bread was good but not enough. The shrimp, steak, salmon and pasta were delicious but overpriced. The 9 scoop vanilla ice cream cheesecake desert was extravagant

Ok, i try to be honest when i review since i dont do it often. We decided to have lunch there today. We got off on the wrong foot. We had been there for dinner so parking wasnt too bad but since this was lunch every shop was open and every spot full. I had to drive around a few times until a spot finally opened up. Not a big deal. When we sat at the bar since it was an hour wait for a table the server told me i was not allowed to wear a hat. I understand they want this to be a high class place but it was lunch, middle of the afternoon. I was wearing a collared shirt so i was not bummed out. I was also sitting at the bar, give a guy a break. The meal itself was ok, my wifes pork was better than my beef tips. I wouldnt be crazy enough to say im not going back. The steak for dinner is really amazing and I would highly recommend it. Not going back for lunch, i like my lunch a little more relax and less snobish. Worth it for dinner not worth it for lunch.

When arriving and seeing the small shopping mall where the restaurant surprised me but once inside it feels a spectacular atmosphere, wines from wall to wall, excellent attention and unbeatable food, this restaurant really surprised me, just a detail, buy better wine glasses!

Cant go wrong restaurant- Service is amazing and top notch, the food is spectacular, definitely my favirite restaurant without a doubt Great foe special occasions

I just came here to say our server Zach S. was terrific for the Mother's Day brunch. He made the experience very pleasant for me and my family with two young kids. Thanks for the amazing customer service from hostess to server. The food was okay. The only outstanding dishes were the tres leche bread pudding dessert and the corn tamalito appetizer. The rest was mediocre dishes, including the steak. I think the food is not as good as it used to be. Hoping to be back in a couple of months to see if the quality of food has improved.

My friend recommended Chef Adrianne's, so I was excited to go . It was a wednesday night, so it was not too busy. We ordered our drinks, but the drinks arrived, they were watered down, and my girlfriend glass smelled like it was wiped down with a dirty rag. The waiter did come over and made gave us other drinks. I was disappointed. I ordered the lamp chops and mash potatoes. The mash potatoes were not good , but Lamp Chop was ok. I will not be returning to Chef Adriannes anytime soon.

Should have known the minute we arrived and despite a reservation and advised after we parked that we had arrived as they suggested in a text message. Ridiculous parking situation. I was going to be fair and not tell them I arrived until we parked which took about ten minutes. I texted we arrived as we parked. We entered the restaurant and checked in and they told us our table would be ready in afew minutes. Mind you we still arrived 5 minutes before our reservation. Other people walked in and I could hear them say they had a reservation and they were immediately seated 10 minutes later I walked up to the hostess and asked her why 3 couples walked in and were seated immediately. She advised that they had checked in before us. Well why didnt they tell us that the earlier you check in the faster you would get seated 20 minutes later we got seated. The waiter came over said something couldn't understand music so loud acoustics bad I knew it was not my hearing. I couldn't hear my husband talk across the booth. Finally I decided on a bottle of wine. Expensive but we were out on a rare date night. The waiter brought the wine. Should have known. Not what we ordered. He apologized but had already opened it and I said no problem. Asked if we wanted bread for the table Never came. Appetizer came. It was good not great. Husband ordered steak rare. 45 minutes later his steak came medium. I must say my dinner was delicious. I would recommend the duck. My husband sent the steak back and came again medium rare. Took it embarrased to send back again felt bad for the waiter not his fault. They did give us a complimentary desert. It was really good. Creme brulee. We were really excited about going to this place since we saw it on Check please and we travelled an hour for dinner. I am sorry again because I know it wasnt the waiters fault. We did take care of him as I know other people may blame the waiter. All in all we probably wont be back. Should have known.

Went in August with my son and his wife, Had tamalitos , pork belly, tacos, onion soup, braised ribs and dessert. Not a bad plate in the bunch. It is becoming my favorite restaurant in Miami. Great service, not cheap but the price of food in all restaurants is going up. The portions are very generous

Once again I treated myself to brunch at one of my favorite restaurants. Green Bloody Mary with Grouper sandwich and complimentary cornbread. Gotta try it! You will absolutely love this place. It's all good! Try the Lamb chops!

Let me start by saying that I have only had great experiences at this restaurant until today. Both my sister and I come here often. I called last Friday to make reservations for tonight and no answer only to leave a message that was not returned. Weekend came and I totally forgot. Then Monday the establishment is closed, so today first thing around noon I called again and to no surprise no answer so I left yet another message- no response as of yet. I decided to drive to the restaurant to try to get a reservation in person and although the sign of hours of operation indicated open it wasn't. So I called again around 3:30 and finally somebody picked up and made reservations for 5:30 pm. Our reservation was for four adults and one child. My uncle was commuting from Miami Beach to try the restaurant my sister and I rave about. Unfortunately, due to the unforeseen traffic I encountered this afternoon we arrived at 5:50 pm. At which point, the hostess very politely advised us that we were beyond the courtesy wait time of our reservations and she could not sit us unless we could be done by 8:30. I told her I felt that we would be finished but they would know best how long their meals take. Then she said if we waited a few she would see if she could do something and speak with her manager. After a few minutes, she came back to tell us she was sorry but neither of the options she presented she could honor. But we had the option to sit in the bar and eat, however, it was for 18 years of age and older. This was insulating as a parent since she was aware that we had a six year old. I sarcastically responded, "yes sure I'll toss her to the street so that we can eat here." Then explained all of my frustration with this reservation, from the lack of response to my messages to this. She brought the manager and he apologized and said they were using a new phone system and he would try to seat is but we would have to order for all of our party regardless if they were there or not. We agreed so we were seated quickly. Once we were seated, I noticed as you will see from the attached picture that there were two tables one of six and the other of four which were empty the whole time even when we left at 8:15 pm. I find it so upsetting to experience this especially since we gave them our business anyhow that was a bill of over $400 since we had pre planned this evening. And there was no nice gesture or courtesy. Very disappointed even though the food was spectacular. I like to be treated fairly and good. if I wanted to feel mistreated or discriminated against due to my six year old I would go to Outbacks, which by the way I get less quality and taste in food but I get treated much better. I hope Chef Adrianne reads this review and makes some changes before this becomes the norm here.

Came here with my family to celebrate my mother’s birthday. I was on a strict diet because I had surgery the next day. So I wasn’t able to eat what I wanted to eat. But to my eyes everything looked amazing. The waitress was extremely friendly, and knowledgeable. The restaurant is clean and beautiful inside. I definitely have to come back and try out what I missed.

The food was amazing! The portions are huge as well! You will definitely have leftovers for your next meal. The osso bucco was so tender and the tomatillo for the appetizer was phenomenal. Also, the dark chocolate bread pudding was mouthwatering. Can't wait to come back!

Our third time there. Each time the food was excellent. It is in location you would never expect, but it is a lovely restaurant. Very good service, excellent food. The specials tend to really be special!

Not impressed with this place, subpar food and over priced. My husbands rack of lamb dish was so salty he couldn't eat it. Not to mention this place is the middle of NO WHERE. Plus no liquor license, whomp whomp.

Came for lunch with my work crew around the holidays. The place is tiny, dark, and charming. Service was good. FOOD WAS AMAZING! Everything we ordered was better than the last thing we tried, I will be coming back very soon!

The quality of the restaurant has gone down. The food service was average. My wife ordered food without zero spice and she got a very spicy meal. The service was good and the drinks were good as well. My meat was a little over the temperature, although, I did not address it to the waiter. This is not the first time the overcook the meat.

Chef Adrianne's has been a fine dining experience for us on several occasions. Consistently good and staffed with knowledgeable and warm professionals. We took friends visiting from out of town and the experience was even better than before! The food is superb and the service is consistently excellent. The servers warn you that the food is made to order and may take longer than normal but the it is completely worth the wait. The staff unobtrusively kept checking in with us while we enjoyed our conversation and wine. The Short Rib entree with Sweet Potato puree was incredible! Make a reservation and be ready for an experience, Chef Adrianne's is our best dining experience in Miami, so far.

Awesome Time while celebrating my son's 22nd Bday! The Short ribs (basted in wine 24hrs!) were to die for! Hit them up on Tuesdays for French Onion Soup day! Great place to visit! GetSome!!

I'm not gonna lie ... That was one of the best meals I had in a while 👏 and trust me all I do is going out for dinner lol. From my experience I would recommend you to go during the week to avoid crowds, get better service & enjoy a nice meal (I just went on a tuesday and the Chef was there touching a few tables). Alex the server was great. His recommendations were on point The OSSO BUCCO , SLOW ROASTED PORK WONTONS , FILET MIGNON AND BROWN SUGAR CRUST SALMON were delicious and HOMEMADE PASSION FRUIT SANGRIA 👌

This place is close to the Miami Zoo, and hides in a residential area. This restaurant is intimate, dark, romantic, but with a cool decor. According to The Miami Times, they have the best sangria in the city, one made with passion fruit and another with pomegranate. The dishes are varied, they offer, pork, chicken, meat and even fish. It doesn’t look like a Miamian restaurant, as we see little influence from Latin food, here the intense flavors come from the sauces that accompany the food, which in turn are inspired by the cuisine of Napa Valley in California.

I have to say that I am truly disappointed. I have visited the restaurant for 7 years now when they were located in 147th Avenue and 115 St. After they expanded, I went twice to the former Devon now Chef Adriane, one time in September 2020 and another time in October 2020. Terrible service. Many of the items we ordered came late, we asked for what was missing several times, quality of the food was not the same, dry steak, etc... We even had to call the manager both times, who happened to be the same person: Jose Lugo. His response was unexpectedly inappropriate. We wrote a report to their website. Zero (0) response. We will definitely avoid it from now on.

I'm not gonna lie but the best salmon is here. We're talking total salmon goals. I'm a huge fan of sweet and savory and that's exactly what she has going on with that particular dish. It's a brown sugar crusted salmon with garlic/sweet chili aioli potatoes. Forever obsessed with that meal. I've come three times and have always ordered the same exact thing so quite honestly I can't tell you about any other main entree. Dessert is pretty fire too...and Chef Adrienne is the sweetest. She'll come out and greet the diners during dinner if she finds the time. If you have an issue with the price, head over when it's Miami Spice- smaller portion of some of the faves and it's a great deal. Yeah, the restaurant gets packed because it's small- sometimes there's a wait- sometimes there's not. Plan ahead, make your reservation and get there early.

.We went for dinner to celebrate Mother’s Day. I understand that Mother’s Day is extremely busy, but that should be expected and planned for. Some examples of the issues: When we placed drink orders I asked for water with lemon. When the water came I was told that they were out of sliced lemons and she was waiting for them. They never came in the three hours that we were there, even though I asked two more times. We were told that everything is made fresh to order and the main courses were taking about an hour to come out of the kitchen😳. An hour seems a bit excessive to me. Luckily we were forewarned and decided on ordering two appetizers to tide us over and they were delicious and enough to satisfy our party of 4 Two of us ordered the brown sugar salmon. We asked about how it was cooked and were told it was medium to medium well I stated I don’t like mine medium well and would rather have medium rare or medium. We were told there was no choice “ they come out how they come out”. That does not seem acceptable for a fine dining restaurant, maybe okay for red lobster! Of course the came out medium well and a bit dry. I will say that the sauce/flavors were delicious and it was a large portion, it was a shame the salmon was dry. After having empty water glasses for 20 minutes we finally had to flag someone down to find our server to get us some water. We also needed extra silverware to share some dishes, but instead of trying to find our server again we got our own since we were sitting close to where the silverware was kept. We split two desserts and they were excellent I am not sure that I would go back and give them a try on a more normal night. There are so many other good restaurants in the area.

In general food taste, presentation and amount where fair for price. I found the restaurant to be too dark. Cocktails, wine and dessert overpriced.

Chef Adrianne's is awesome on any given day of the week. Service is spectacular and prices are comparable to what one would pay at any high end restaurant. It's a cozy place with an intimate setting. I just want to say every time I've gone to there, EVERYTHING I HAVE TRIED IS ALWAYS EXQUISITE. Period. My husband and I went with another couple to experience the dark dining event on October 12th. This experience is a MUST. The theme was FALL and she served us magical, comfort food. We were served butternut squash bisque, (it's a recipe to steal) and a brussel sprouts and crisp apples salad type dish where the taste of the apples were exploding in your mouth. The entrees were delicious. I didn't cheat and kept my blindfold on. The first entree served was ham that was atop of some type of cornbread crust, slice of goodness, that I wish I would have cheated. My sense of taste knew it was art! It was to die for. The second was fried chicken with cauliflower mash. Who would have thought that simple could be so rich in taste? The third was a beef stew made in a merlot wine. Oh! Did I mention that all of this was paired with the appropriate wines? I didn't? Well, let me mention it then. All of this was paired with the appropriate wine! Dessert was the best pumpkin mousse and ice cream you've ever tasted in your entire life. I highly recommend Chef Adrianne's for every occasion. It is simply, SUPERB.

Went to Adrianne's on the recommendation of a colleague for a business dinner. The service was great despite being very busy. The food was even better. Too top it of I had the chef's bread pudding topped with a mango and strawberry salsa. Great way to finish a great nite.

Excellent food and service, went there for my daughters birthday. The onion soup was fantastic as was everything we tried out in the menu. The restaurant is beautifully located. Will definitely go back.

I was very exited to try this gem in south west kendall but when i get to the hostess my excitement was cool off, i felt like she was doing me a favor by sitting me at the restaurant ( tuesday 5:30pm and empty restaurant) not one single smile or feel of welcoming. Then when we got to the table we did not get the service so the back sevice help us out with cocktails, nothing was coming out and then the sever approach us ask us about having anything to drink. We told her that we gave the order to another sever and she reply in a snobby way: " he is not a sever he cant take orders" is not my problem if there isn't communications among the service staff. So we told her our drink order again.after that, there was not engaging and friendliness from the server at any point. Dry and snobby. We try the burrata with figs prosciutto and truffle which was great. The blue fin tuna tartar was great as well, the pork wonton was mediocre. Then the short ribs with the sweet pure; was ok it was a bit bitter and very acid, the duck breast was ok as well the skin wasn't crispy at all. Then the espresso brûlée. Not much to say. Since they dont sale spirits i felt like the wine list was very simple, they can do much but much better with the wine list. More interesting wine than publix wine selection. Overall food was interesting but service was really off for a restaurant of those prices.

We had heard good things about Chef Adrianne's and had tried to come during Miami Spice, but were not able to make it happen. We ended up coming in March because I called to see if they had anything available and they did. It is in the West Kendall area in a small shopping center so it is a bit deceiving. The dining room area is not that big, which explains why reservations are hard to come by. There is definitely a romantic ambiance with dim lighting and fresh flowers around the tables and common areas. Since we had a reservation we were seated right away and greeted by our waitress. She took our drink orders and shared the specials with us and answered any questions we had about the menu. She was very friendly. This is definitely a place to come for special occasions. The portions are good and the food was delicious. It is pricey, however, so if you can get in during Miami Spice time it might work out better if you are on a budget.

Yesterday's lunch experience was a total disappointment. I have been to this restaurant on numerous occasions over the years but will have to think long and hard about returning. Our food took about an hour to be served despite the fact that the restaurant was 3/4 empty. However, that was not the worst. Our waiter appeared off his game and there also appeared to be a disconnect between waiter and kitchen staff. About 20 minutes after we gave our order the waiter came back to tell my friend there were no mashed potatoes. He addressed only my friend so I asked about my dish. Oh we gave mashed potatoes for yours he said. Really? Does that make sense? Anyways, both dishes came with roasted potatoes. I then asked for sweet potato puree. All the while the fish was getting cold. The food was good but the experience was not up to the standard of a fine restaurant. If it had been my first time at this restaurant I would never come back.

We were a party of 13 we were almost sit one on top each other they refused to put an extra table the lamb was hard to chew the osso buco was salty salad didn’t see fresh for a bill I’ve 1,000.00 it was bad I believe I would of received better service at McDonald’s. Second time at this place I can say it will be the last one

Was 3 person at table. Server was very friendly and informative but noise level was too high. Had to talk very loud. One person wanted a steak but the smallest steak was 14 oz. So we had salmon and short ribs. I had 2 appetizers. Short ribs with whipped sweet potato. Ribs were mushy and almost a powder texture, sweet potato was whipped to the point where it was baby food. Salmon portion was generous but needed salt. Not very tasty. Just a big slab of salmon. No presentation. Caesar salad was good. Burrrata was okay and crab cakes had too much bread crumbs. Was not tempted to order desserts just wanted to leave. Restaurant needs to decide what it is. A bar with good moderate prices or fine dining but both is not cutting it.

We went to the restaurant on a Wednesday night with no reservations. The restaurant was quite busy. We were seated immediately by friendly hostesses. Staff was extremely attentive and our waiter, Frank, was great. Food was pricey, but very good and we will be back!

We went here for a special lunch and had a culinary experience. We sampled 2 appetizers, 2 salads and 1 entree. The service was excellent and allowed us to leisurely go through our lunch tour of the menu. The prices are expensive but for a special occasion it is doable. Would love to go back for dinner sometime but need to start saving our money. The only negative is that it is extremely noisy. I don’t think there is anything that you can do about it since its just one of those things!

My wife was coming back from a business trip and I wanted to take her to the right place to tell her some good news. That's when I turned to my best friend Gus ... a guy that always has the right place for the right moment. He recommended Chef Adrianne's. It was absolutely perfect ... small, intimate, romantic with a warm and welcoming young staff that delivered the created the perfect mood. We followed the waitress' suggestion and were highly satisfied. Amazing food, fair price and an overall good energy that cannot be described. It was a little out of the way but definitely worth the trip. Oh yes, call ahead and make reservations. The place is small and gets full quickly.

Food was horrible tasting and half cold. Took quite some time to get food to table and it wasn't full in capacity. First and last time I go.

We wanted to celebrate one of our friends birthday. We decided on this place. We were very happy with the exceptional service and the exceptional food. Beautiful place that you would never expect in a strip mall. Yes a little pricey but definitely worth the price. Food and atmosphere was great.

We ate lunch at this restaurant for my husband's birthday. The food was ok but the service was below average. It is also very pricey for the location, the type of food and the service they have. I was surprise that they charge $12 for a small glass of Sangria and lunch entrees are on average above $20 and appetizers are over $15. The restaurant was not even half full and the servers disappeared for prolonged periods of time. We had to ask twice for our waters to be refilled and they took forever to bring the check at the end. We experienced an overall feeling of lack of organization and coordination in the staff and we observed other guests were sensing that as well. The restaurant is located in a cheap shopping mall where the parking is awful and not pleasant to the eye. In short, once here, you'll feel like you are eating at Chili's until the check arrives and then you realized, too late, that for that money you should have gone to Smith and Wollenskyand and spare yourself the aggravation. Avoid if possible.

Although it is the first time that I have had such an unpleasant experience in this restaurant, my favorite in Miami and among the 10 that I prefer in the whole world, I have to confess that this last experience was very unpleasant. 5 main courses and we refused all 5, too much pepper on all of them made them impossible to eat. I asked for the chef and they informed me that another chef was cooking, and you know what was the worst? It's not that they had given us a certain refund, it's that someone didn't even come to apologize, the bill was $580, and how I said, a refund would have been logical, but no apologies? I have known chef Adrianne for more than 18 years, and I assure you that this would not have happened, that in case of a mistake in the preparation of the dishes she would not have shown her face, and as I said, the refund is not the most important

Serendipitously, I came across this gem after moving to the Hammocks (dangerously close to home). An amazing gastronomic experience coupled with unparalleled consistency- dishes are identical from visit to visit. Staff is friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. This restaurant will far exceed your expectations in every way. Food is thoughtfully and deliciously prepared and the menu will blow your mind. Can not recommend Chef Adrienne’s highly enough. Cheers!

I'M NOT ONE TO WRITE A REVIEW BUT YESTERDAY SUNDAY 20TH THE WAITRESS SERVED US A MENU WHICH WE DIDN'T ORDER, WE TOLD HER AND SHE PRETENDED THAT IT WAS THAT ONE AND SHE ALSO SAID THAT SHE MENTIONED TO US HOW THAT MENU CAME WITH SPINACH AND MASHED POTATOES, WE TOLD HER THAT NO SPINACH AND WHEN SHE SERVED THE FOOD WE TOLD HER THAT IT WASN'T THAT AT THAT TIME SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE MENU TO VERIFY, WE WAITED MORE THAN 1 HOUR FOR THEM TO BRING US THE FOOD HE DID NOT SAY THAT HE COULD CHANGE IT WE TOLD HIM NO BECAUSE IT WAS 1 HOUR MORE, WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE HOUSE I SAW THE MENU ONLINE AND IF WE HAD ORDERED IT WELL, VERY BADLY THEY MUST WRITE THE MENUS IF THEY DO NOT HAVE A GOOD MEMORY.

We went to celebrate my son’s birthday. Although it was my first time, some of the family members had visited before and had loved it. We would have preferred to be seated inside but they were not able to accommodate us. We had a reservation since we were a party of 9. Our main issue was service. The server attending us, seemed rushed, impatient and out of focus. Appetizers were delicious. We ordered shrimp, wontons and some in the party had French onion soup. The wine we requested had run out, it did take a long time to be advised but we just requested another wine. When the main courses started coming out we all ended up with the wrong plates. It seemed like we were doing musical plates passing n the pkates among ourselves. One of my sons had ordered salmon, and the servers helping our server, gave him mahi saying it was the salmon. I will add that he found the salmon to be dry and the potatoes extremely sweet. Another one in the party, the steak was undercooked.n the drinks also there was something on his Scotch when they first brought it out, like a small bug do they had to take it back. When we went to pay, the waitress mixed up how much he was to charge on each card and inverted the amounts. Managers came several times to offer apologies for the different issues, when the drinks, the undercooked meat/ mixed up plates and when the card payment mixed up. We had so many bumps in our visit. We kept trying to minimize the issues but at the end we were annoyed. A fine restaurant like this one needs to be able to deliver. Service was just not good but there were so many things that continue to happen throughout the night as we were there. We really wanted to do something very special to celebrate our son and we left frustrated. Another visit to Chef Adrianne’s is not in my list and I will not recommend it.

The best description for the place is Meh’ The food is ok, not great, the service is ok, not good. For everything the took forever. My husband never got a steak knife we have to share mine. My guava lychee martini had orange or citrus flavor. My truffle fries didn’t taste trufflely at all Have in mind the food take 50-65 mins to be done so ask for appetizers

We have been here several times. The food is always consistently good. I had the top of the line filet mignon. It is a very big portion and worth the price. I made a second meal from this the next night. The wives both had the honey salmon with the sweet potato. A repeat since they loved it before. We also had some other people who had the Salmon Rockerfeller and the Snapper. Everyone loved their selection.

I ordered an snapper , it was super spicy, my husband ordered the new york steak , the meat was not tender, basically raw, and super spicy too. the manager never came to our table with other option, we always go to the other Chef Adrianne restaurant, and never ever had nothing bad to criticize. everything in there is special, including service, then. we sent the food back to the kitchen, and they gave us a discount . that's not what people want, We went to eat, to eat good. discount is an offense. delay to sit down, bread and drinks after the salad was served, delay for the food.and 20 minutes looking if anyone realized not water on my glass. terrible.

We have been here before and we had never had a bad meal, but on May 7 we took some friend’s of ours that had never been to Chef Adrian’s before and we were bragging to them how good the food has been at her restaurant. On this day the food was terrible, the Tamalillo appetizer was very dry and over cooked, the special of the day pork belly Puerto Rican style was pure fat, the skin was not even crispy. The 24-hour cooked short ribs were ok but not like my wife had it before. The service was great, but not the food. I wish it would have been better for our friend’s first time there. They told us that for the money that we spent at Chef Adrian’s restraint they have had better food at a less expensive restaurant.

My husband and I just had lunch (we wanted to take advantage of the Miami Spice special) and were both happy with our meal choices. For starters, my husband ordered the panko crusted crab cakes and enjoyed them (I didn’t try this plate because the portion was small and my hubby was starving) and I opted for the tamalito which was amazing! It came with andouille sausage chopped small and fried over a soft tamale mash, very delicious and balanced, and not overly spicy. I highly recommend. As for entrees my husband ordered salmon and I went with the short rib. Both were delicious super tender; neither needed a knife to cut into them. The desserts were fabulous, especially the Nutella croissant bread pudding! Wow! Probably my favorite part. I will say though that this restaurant is in a shopping center with limited parking, but we were lucky and snagged a spot right in front of the restaurant. Also, some other reviewers complained about the restaurant being dark, but it was fine for us. All in all, we felt it was worth the 40 minute drive and will return another year.

Both the service and food at Chef Adrienne’s was terrible!! The salmon was very dry and the potatoes oily and drenched in a creamy sauce. As the food is always secondary to the atmosphere and company, the experience could have been saved if the waitress had been more concerned with our dining experience. Her response to our complaints and barely touched plates of food ? “Would you like a to go box???” I was shocked by her rude dismissal and responded that I would take the full piece of salmon for my dog. We paid our bill and will NOT go back !!! So many great restaurants in Miami … go where you are appreciated!!

The food here is excellent. It is my second visit to it and I was not disappointed. Service is also great. They come off as being driven to make their clients happy.

I ordered an $87 steak and was up-charged $2 for getting fries instead of the mashed potatoes it came with. Chef Adrianne should be embarrassed. Anyway, I finally made the drive to the east Everglades to check this place out. When I made my reservation I was asked if I was there for a special occasion. I told the lady that my wife and I would be celebrating her birthday. We arrived to a mostly empty restaurant, 30 minutes early. The place is dark and uninviting. Not a nice looking place. Behind my wife was a wall of cheap Venetian blinds closed tightly. The were hanging awkwardly, not straight. I don’t know what the obsession seems to be with keeping the outside out. We ordered two appetizers: the crab cakes and a ceasar salad. The crab cakes were excellent with barely if any filler. The sauce was very good and the bed of greens it came on was was nicely dressed and also good. The ceasar salad was disappointing. The dressing didn’t have the tanginess or the saltiness you expect. The menu indicated there were anchovies in the salad but none were in my salad. I asked the waiter and he said the anchovies were in the dressing but that he could bring me some for $4. He actually said “about $4”. Same with the fries, he said “about $2”. Weird. My wife’s filet was delicious and well cooked. It came with a mountain of mashed potatoes. My 24 ounce bone-in ribeye was a beautiful piece of meat but it was unevenly cooked and under seasoned. Some parts along the outer part of the steak (I never made it to the center) were raw to medium. There was a lot of unrendered fat on the outer parts of the steak. I asked for another plate to transfer the steak away from the overpowering butter. The $2 fries were not unlike something you get at a fast food restaurant. I’d bet they came out of a frozen bag. It was a beautiful looking ribeye. I took the rest home, sliced it up and confirmed, in a well lit kitchen, how unevenly it was cooked. I seasoned the slices with the salt that it was lacking, cooked them a little more and ate them with some sunny side up eggs. The $56 bottle of wine we ordered was fairly priced. Now, eventhough I was asked what the occasion was when I made reservations, the waiter asked us at the END of the meal what the occasion was. My wife said it was for her birthday and what happened next made me laugh so hard. He brought my wife this tiny strawberry wrapped in a happy birthday sign. It was like a hidden camera tv show moment. I thought we were getting punk’d. So I I ordered $230 worth of food and wine and was up-charged $2 for fries: bush league! We went to Finka for dessert and coffee. As soon as I walked in, I regretted my restaurant choice for my wife’s birthday.

Terrible service, the worst and most disrespectful manager. You will go to pass through a horrible moment. THE WORST RESTAURANT I’VE EVER BEEN.

I really was expecting the best service and food for the price depicted in the menu. Basically we had no service. The food was nothing but standard. You can get better filet mignon in nicer areas of Dade County for a lot less dollars from your pocket. Over rated restaurant !!!!

I came here with friends for the Miami spice lunch. I would recommend making reservations as this restaurant was fill to the brim. What I did not particularly like is the place was so so dark inside, all the blinds are completely shut, so no outside light came in from outside whats so ever, which I found very strange for the day time. I appreciate they are trying to create an ambiance, which they did as the décor is very cosy, and gorgeous red roses everywhere, but just too darned dark. Perfect for nighttime but not good for the day. Also the air con was too high. Upon arrival they would not seat me at my table "until all my guests arrived" which made me feel a little uncomfortable as you are sat on a hard wooden bench at the entrance, I don't know why they do not seat you whilst you wait. the service is on point here, very polite and efficient. Also the service is slow, it took 2.5 hrs for our lunch which is fine if you have the time but you could not have a quick bite to eat here in a lunch hour in my opinion. AND THE FOOD - very good I had the following 1/ Crispy Braised Pork Belly, Garlic Cilantro Aioli, Pickled Onion - the pork pieces melted in your mouth - diving, divine, divine and the cilantro Aioli was a match made in heaven for the pork. the pickled onion I could not detect it at all, but who cared, I LOVED THIS DISH... PERFECTION. 2/ Pan Roasted Chicken Supreme, Sweet Potato Hash, Spicy Brown Mustard - not enough sauce for me, also the potatoe pieces were so tiny, imo I would make them four times bigger, which would be a healthier option as less fat to be soaked up. But a good dish 3/ White Chocolate Blueberry Croissant Bread Pudding, Vanilla Ice Cream - I am English and make a mean Bread pudding. This was good - however the white chocolate and blueberries were too subtle.

Location ? Magnificent ! Food ? Fast and espectacular taste. How ever my recomendation would be for captain or manager who shall visit the tables and introduce himself and get a feedback about the entire experience.

The food here is the best I've had Cozy or a little dark but the most important is the food! Chef Adrienne continues to impress

An Experience Like No Other. We enjoyed lunch at Chef Adrianne’s and the service is second only to the quality of the food … possibly a tie. The experience began as we walked in and immediately greeted by a friendly hostess that got us on our way. Our server Amanda seated us and even asked if we were comfortable with the table chosen for us. She made us feel like family. This new location is much larger than the original in the Hammocks, but even with the openness of this location, it has a definite atmosphere and ambiance that sets it apart from all others. Drinks and bread were quickly brought to us and the ordering was underway. The server was very familiar with the menu, the food and all of the special events that take place at Chef Adrianne’s. I can testify in a court of law, under oath, that all the plates were awesome. The only problem we had was agreeing what was the best plate, as we all share with each other. The New Zealand Lamb Chop, The Pork Chop, the Steak Frites, and the Shrimp. We even got 2 sides of the Brussel Sprouts. I can not say enough about the service. We honestly felt like we were the only ones in the restaurant, we never went more than a few moments without seeing Amanda come by and check on us, or at least in visual range if we needed something. Everyone who knows about Chef Adrianne’s knows how good the food is, but it hasn’t gone to their heads, the still seem to value the importance of quality service. This is a must visit when you have family visiting from out of town … this is something Miami can be very proud to call our own.

I love this place, every time we visit the food is absolutely exquisite. It’s like a little hidden gem in West Kendall. I recommend this restaurant to everyone I know. You definitely need a reservation to make sure you get a table. You won’t regret coming here. I wish I had pictures to post but the food look so good we couldn’t wait to dig in. Maybe next time.

Its location and outside appearance would never give you a clue to the sophistication of the food served here. Once you enter you get the idea. The decor and ambience takes you far away from what you thought outside. Make sure you get a reservation because this place seems to always be busy and for good reason. The filet mignon is one of the best I have ever had in my life. Come hungry because the filet is a monster! Mine was cooked to perfection all the way through. the appetizers, main course, and desserts were all so well done. I eventually went back for my birthday with a party of 12 and everyone was very impressed with the quality level of the food as well as the wine! It is worth the drive and worth the price.

One of the most surprisingly delicious dining experiences I’ve had in recent memory! Who knew that one of the most exciting gourmet restaurants in Miami would be hidden in the suburbs of West Kendall? Great service, great menu, great food, all in an intimate setting. From the homemade bread & dip to the Tuna Tartare (with just the right amount of spice!), to the Crabmeat & Corn Soup, which was thick with fresh delicious crabmeat (yum!). The main course of Rack of Lamb was both plentiful & delicious & so artful in presentation that I couldn’t help but snap a photo! The rest of my party also enjoyed their Filet Mignon & Fish entrees (all generous portions). We capped off our meal with a delicious homemade chocolate brownie & ice cream indulgence which we washed down with a satisfying cup of cappuccino. The only disappointing part of our dining experience was that it came to an end! But this will soon be rectified by our next trip to Chef Adrianne’s, where we can’t wait to experience more of the gastronomic treats created by their brilliant chefs...Bravo!!

Drinks and food were great. Service was terrible. Too much delay, the appetizers were forgotten. Very bad experience, just like the other restaurant in South Miami.

I visited with the family after 2 friends highly recommended this restaurant. For 1:30 pm it was very dark inside .... only a problem initially for my elderly parents , mainly at menu reading time . In time, and as food kept coming in, it was quickly forgotten. As an appetizer , crab cakes were plenty for us 4 and delicious. The lettuce salad they were placed over was meant to be eaten with a delicious dressing. The meals all come with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach..... the filet mignon has extra choices . We all absolutely loved our choices, and had a full serving of each the next day...... the portions are huge and easily could be shared if so desired. My filet was 12 oz cooked to medium perfection , the lamb rack beautifully presented and delicious as well. Both plates can really be shared ! Can’t wait to go again. .

I DIDNT KNOW THIS PLACE WAS ON DIRTY DINING ON WPLG MIAMI. The food did taste like it was frozen and thawed out. I don't recommend

Once again, Chef Adrianne's Vineyard Restaurant and Bar has not failed me! I stopped in for a quick bite decided to have their New Zealand Lamb Chop appetizer with a glass of Dueling Pistols Red, a Sarah - Zinfandel blend from California. It just happens to be the 15th year anniversary for Chef Adrianne's Vineyard Restaurant and Bar! As always the servers were very attentive, knowledgeable, and the food and wine stretch the imagination and the word excellence!

A little hard to find but well worth it A real gem in the suburbs reservations a must I left at 8pm and there was a line out the door Food excellent, from fish to steaks, to osso bucco, terrific everything made with a flair best restaurant you will find west of Coral Gables Pork wantons great Service great but abet rushed Tables crammed together and some placed so you look into the bathroom hall way But overall very good experience

Upon arrival was asked if I had a reservation. I did not, place was almost empty and was seated. Young very serious woman who presented herself as our server requested that we move since we had taken a third chair to put our bags. She gave us another table with a shelf so that we could put our bags. Was not very impressed with the menu and the appetizer was disappointing. Expensive but disappointed. Restaurant is in a strip mall and inside is rather dark. Decor is nice but a But on the dark side. Main course was a very very tender beef filet with mashed potatoes. Very filling and large course. Wanted desert but portions seemed to be huge. It was ok but nothing to rave over.

Nice cozy little restaurant that was highly recommended. I had very high expectations so Im a little bit torn. We order the sweet and spicy shrimps and the pork wontons to start. First, all I can say us that I could eat those shrimps all day long! However, the wontons were forgetable. For the main course we order the NY steak, lamb chops, and the osso buco. I was extremely surprised with the portions, come hungry and you're bound to leave happy😀. Flovors were bold and every item on the plate complimented eachother. The presentation was a bit "rough around the edges" but not bad. The only issue I had was that every dish came with the same sides. I feel that mash potatoes don't belong in upscale places...but if they are there then perhaps dress them up a bit! Some truffle oil or roasted garlic just to name a few. I was hoping that it was a bit more creative and experimental.

My father in law told me this Colombian young Lady have an amazing restaurant you should try. Restaurant host team was very efficient and and discrete table set up was very nice with the fresh rose in elegant vase. We start with the Guava jalapeño lamb chopped appetizer and Tomato soup. Second course NY strip steak w blue cheese,Salmon w spinach and mashed potato, Tomato Mozzarella salad. Final we got the brownie with the marshmallows!! Enough 4 easily good for 3 people's. Food cooked amazing salmon was very tasty I send the chef my regards with completely clean plate. Server Andre was very professional and knowledgeable. Service over all very good accept one thing. They using the forbidden word a lot 'are you still working' no!! I'm not working you working. I'm enjoying my food. I love the food and the service I will definitely go back. Thank you for the good experience.

First of all it’s too loud inside. The wine list is not varied enough and the prices are quadruple what they should be as they also are in the menu. The sampler was over cooked and had to send back. The salmon had zero flavor Osso bucco was the better choice. Plates are shareable Will not be back. Totally over rated.

This is the best restaurant in Miami and the best food ever. Service and atmosphere is unique. Will go over and over

It’s no wonder chef Adrian has lost two restaurants in such a short time…. Three years ago we came here, the service was stellar, food was delicious and the drinks…. My god, the drinks. After my birthday dinner today, my wife and I were just shocked at where this restaurant is today. The one shinning star was our server Manuela. She was sweet, knowledgeable and even made some extra pushes for my birthday which I appreciated. However, the drinks were horrible this time around. We arrived at 6:30, so we took advantage of two happy hour drinks….. we really wish we hadn’t. The mango margarita was basically mango juice packed with ice. My wife’s “slightly dirty” martini was pretty pathetic as well. Someone needs to train their bartender to chill their martini glasses before serving a martini. 😉 The lava margarita literally tasted like a glass of mud, and that’s with half a shot of grand marnier added. The $27 octopus is a disgrace. Literally tasted like the sea water..: not to mention the FRENCH ONION SOUP… which is suppose to be their staple on Tuesday. I’ve had better French onion soup at the Carolina ale House for a quarter of the price. Dinner was also extremely bland. Did I mention the Manager tried to give us another tables food?? 🤣 THE MANAGER! Anyway $260 later my wife and I are feeling pretty let down to say the least. I don’t want anything from this place, because even if the compt my meal we’d never come back. I really only wrote this so none of you fine people make the same mistake. We work too hard to spend almost $300 on such a let down. I left upset that my wife spent this on my birthday and we did not have good food or drinks. She left upset that my birthday dinner was ruined and not a good experience.

Six of us spent almost $600 on a Thursday night for dinner. We felt rushed during the meal. We had not even paid our bill when the receptionist very politely came to tell us that we had to leave so they could accommodate the next party. This is not what we expected for such an expensive restaurant. It was very poor form! The food was variable. I ordered the corvina ($40). It came with mash potatoes and spinach. I asked if I could substitute the potatoes for a second order of spinach for which they charged $2. My double order was the same as a single order. Furthermore, my corvina came bathed in butter sauce so much so that I had to ask for a bowl to dump it out and bread to absorb the extra. I really should have sent it back. The wine list is average.

The Restaurant surprised us in a number of ways. The lighting was very dim and the air conditioning very cold.Very noisy and tight. The service was friendly but not especially attentive. A mandatory 20% service charge came as a shock as we were a small party of 6. The appetizers were not too impressive.We had meat balls and crab cakes. For really good crab cakes try Bone Fish Grill. The main courses were huge. I had the Osso Bucco which was excellent but could have fed the entire table.Had to take home half of it. Rack of lamb was 9 chops but were too salted. Salmon dishes were enjoyed. For dessert we ordered a Snickers Banana Split. Three of us tackled it and could only eat half. Wines quite good. Would visit again but be very selective of the choices due to huge portion sizes.lots of steaks on the menu. definitely not French cuisine.

We went on October 31, 2020 with two other couples to celebrate a birthday. I ordered braised pork belly as an appetizer and ossobuco as the entree. The pork belly came charred on each side of every piece. So I just ate what I could of the middle. The ossobuco came and looked like someone took stew beef pieces charred them black and formed them around a bone. They were not attached to the bone, just pushed around it. One bite and everything was charcoal. Disgusting. I sent it back and they offered me short ribs. I asked if they were cooked the same way and they said they were. I declined. I did not eat anything else. My wife had the salmon, but was overpowered by a sweet sauce on a bed of mashed potatoes. The other couples were disappointed also. Overpriced, charred food. I will not go back.

sometimes the hype is not worth it Went there to check out celebrity chef Adrienne Kendall location What a mistake All hype not good I have reviewed restaurants from Miami to Paris with Juliet child to bobby flay This restaurant is bad We first encountered our waiter who did not know the specials and how the meals were made of The salad was great (note, they are substantial but they charge a sharing charge which is unusual for this class of restaurant) We asked for a few more rolls that never came Our entrees came and the waiter spilled the sauce on the table and me My rack of lamb looked great but was over done My wife's salmon also looked good but was overcooked Do not waste your time here As I said Hype does not mean good

I've lived in Miami for quite some time and have been hearing about this place for years, but for some reason just had never gone, maybe it was the older unappealing location. I've eaten At Cracked which is a great quick bites version that has great food and good for take out. After all the hype of this place I had high expectations. The design of this place (New location) was ok, reminded me of a Seasons 52, nothing special as I thought this place would be. The oyster appetizer was really good, but the steak was not. The cut of meat (Diamond reserve) did not seem of a high quality, and was sub par for the price point. Luckily it could be dressed up with sauces, but most good steaks shouldn't need it. The service was ok, but not that of a luxury restaurant. Which despite being advertised as such, I would not place in that category. I'm glad I went, and can mark it off the list, but I won't be going again. Hopefully the new Red Fish can make up for the original.

Very good food. Parking lot attached and there is valet. Good service. In a cute shopping center with fountain for photo ops.

This little hole in the wall back in Kendall it’s an unforgettable place to have the best meal without paying so much money Like other restaurants. Chef Adrianne will personally come to your table if she’s available. The food it’s out of this world! No matter whatever you order on the menu. the filet mignon the shrimp, Osso Bucco You name it it will be unforgettable.

The whole experience from appetizers to dessert was outstanding. Had the sweet corn tamalitos with shrimp, best we’ve ever had. Both my wife and I had the filet mignon, just like the appetizer excellent. Prepared just right. The crowning moment of the meal was our delicious dessert .A brownie unlike any we have ever tasted. The restaurant was packed yet the service was very good. By the way. The portions were huge. Better bring a big appetite.

It is with a bit of mixed feelings that I write this review. The food was good, tasty and plentiful, but the ambiance was lacking; way, way too dark and a bit too over crowded (for my taste) and extremely loud – to the point where the waiter was SCREAMING the explanations of the menu. My husband and I only had appetizers, since the reservations were made for 9:00 p.m. and we weren’t seated and served until almost 10:00 p.m.! His sashimi tuna was delightful and the tamalito sweet and tasty (rather big portion). We were served first even though we explained to the waiter we would have it a our meal with the rest of the group. Everything came out piece meal. Some in the group had food others sat and waited. My sweet and spicy shrimp was delicious although the chef forgot the ‘spiciness’ portion. Not even a trace of heat. My sister’s goat cheese appetizer was wonderful and the lamb tender and juicy. Everyone’s meal was flavorful and plentiful, once it finally arrived, but the ending had a bit of a setback. Though our group of ten had a fabulous time; it was not without a bit of a ‘glitch’ that we left with a ‘sour taste’ due to a form of ‘bait and switch’ gimmick courtesy of this establishment. A reservation for a group of ten was made. My cousin was told that a credit card was needed for a $200.00 deposit/hold. Perfectly understandable; given the small space and the fact that reservations are tight. She provided her credit card with no problem. What she was NOT told was that she would be given a GIFT card upon arrival for the $200.00 charged to her account. She DID NOT consume $200.00 worth of food; thus she would have been FORCED to return in order to get ‘her money back?’ Clearly, a form of ‘bait and switch’ gimmick. Why not credit the $200.00 upon the arrival of the entire party at the time of reservation? When I requested to speak to the manager, the bar tender stated that our waiter was the manager. He had disappeared for quite some time; service was lacking. Once he showed up we asked why the ‘gimmick?’ Clearly, this restaurant doesn’t need this sort of stunt? The ‘manager/waiter’ could not provide a feasible explanation other than, “I don’t know, that’s the way it is!” WOW! What a response!!!!! It is obvious he too was puzzled as to why this is done this way…. OR WAS HE? Evidently, this left a bit of a ‘sour taste’ in our palate and because of this exploit; we will not be going back. We figured out how to use up the $200.00 gift card and give my cousin cash so that she wouldn’t be FORCED to return. The food is good, but not spectacular nor to the point you can’t find the same flavors at any other restaurant in Coral Gables, Wynwood or Miami Beach. After all, this restaurant is next to the Everglades. I’m sure this restaurant will continue to do well and thrive, but this party of 10 will not be returning and will make sure that anyone going is well aware of what will happen with their $200.00 reservation “deposit,” as well as, letting the public know that a FORCED 20% gratuity is already added to the bill. Whether the service was provided or not; the 20% tip will appear on the final bill. Again, unlike any restaurant I’ve been to where a choice is provided or left blank to fill in as the customer sees fit.

Go somewhere else over priced food, I ordered the duck and it came raw the truffle fries came cold and greases my wife ordered the salmon which came cold and potatoes where under cooked. Manager never came to apologies or offer us another meal if you ever been to Flanigans the manager will apologies and personally come back to you with a new plate. We will not return.

We had high expectations. We had an early dinner as this was their last day in this location. Hopefully the new place will be better decorated. The old place was too dark. Good was good but nothing great. I have been to better restaurants in Miami with better or same prices. Wine selection limited. They were out of many dishes. My husband wanted Osso Buco that was in the menu but they didn’t have it. I wanted asparagus but they also didn’t have them etc! The following day my daughter’s friend came over who worked there for several months snd she tells us that Chef Adrienne is hardly ever there. So don’t think she is cooking your meal!

The Food!!! Oh the Food!!! Chef Adrianne’s so much to say... at first I was not thrilled to head far far and farther from my local Brickell area with walking distance to top restaurants and when we got there it is in a dated not so appealing strip mall but walked in and the place was beautiful simple, clean and very winery like with a romantic atmosphere (dimly lite) just gave you a very chill vibe from the moment you walked in. Everything was smooth and took place like clockwork. Our server was great! Funny and engaging participated in our not so appropriate dinner talk. LOL!!! But really, the food!!! Oh the Food!!! Wow!!! I had the rack of Lamb that was season to perfection. And two bottles of Pinot wine that Bruce suggested that were amazing. I’m going to get some for home. We had such a great time and truly enjoyed the amazing four courses. We were the last people in the restaurant and at no time did they bring the check to throw us out. Loved it!!! Loved everything about this place. Highly recommend it

A quaint, smallish restaurant, but it is beyond unique for any restaurant within 10 miles!! It could easily be pass for and outdo restaurants in Coral Gables or South Beach, simply because as Chef Adrianne preaches, it's all about "maximum flavor." Her dishes are more than satisfying, with dinner portions being rather large. My favorite go-to dish is her osso bucco, steeped in simmered in a pinot noir reduction. I have enjoyed every appetizer on her menu, and they are all superb!! Her filet mignon is perfectly cooked and grilled, and her fish dishes, whether regular or a nightly special are all outstanding.

So this review is popping my Yelp cherry. I have heard from many people about Chef Adrianne's for several weeks now. I called ahead to make a reservation, which is recommended but I don't think required. I was celebrating my anniversary and wanted a special dinner. The ambiance is very nice inside the staff is very attentive. I was greeted immediately after walking in and sat within 5 minutes. The waiter Bruce was very attentive to us. As a appetizer I had the chef daily special, split pea soup with chorizo, and the crap cake with chipotle sauce. Both appetizers came out hot and tasted very fresh. The split pea was on point. For my main meal, I had the Black Angus 5 diamond reserve filet with goat cheese and my wife had the Wild Alaskan Salmon Rockefeller. I was quite surprised on the portions. Normally upscale restaurants give small portion but this was not the case. After the appetizers I could only eat a third of my steak and half of the Salmon. The food melted in my mouth and had tons of flavor. My only regret is I didn't have any room for their delicious desert menu. The dishes are hand made and there are so many delicious sounded choices it will be hard to decide. This gem has been open for 8 years when Chef Adrianne was 23 years old. Definitely ambitious but this is one of the best hidden restaurants in Kendall. I'll definitely be back!

I made reservations to go on 1/8/17 for the first time at 6 pm. We arrived at 6:05, we were "rejected" at the door, because they don't accept kids after 4 pm???? What???? I did not specify when I made the reservation that we were taking our 3 yr old, as is never a problem anywhere I've gone for dinner. Who do they think they are??? with kid or no kid I would never come to this place again!!!!

Although we had reservations for 9:00 o'clock, we had to wait 20 minutes for our table. The restaurant was filled to capacity on a Wednesday. While we waited for a table, I had a margarita that left a lot to be desired. My wife had a cup of cabernet and was charged $20 for the cup. Outrageous. For dinner she had a duck that was fine. I had a filet mignon that would have been great if it hadn't had the connective tissue that made it difficult to cut, even with a sharp meat knife. The sides were nice. The ambiance was superb. Service at the table was all right. Not great. Overall, although our night was enjoyable, the place was too pricy for what was offered. One final thought. We had indicated that we were going there for a birthday in our reservation. No one ever noticed.

Went with my husband, our 2nd time, and the food was amazing! He had the 12 oz filet and it melted in his mouth! He was so happy! I had the Mahi Mahi and it was delicious! The waitress, Michelle, was awesome! So friendly, professional and made us feel like family. When you go I suggest you request her. The ambiance is nice but very small. Too bad they can't buy a bigger place!

Very full but totally understand why! The food has been spectacular both times I’ve been there. Like out of this world good. My husband couldn’t stop eating his osa bucca even though he was stuffed. Great vegetarian stir fry that isn’t on the menu. Great wine to pair the nice new with. I wish we would have saved room for dessert bc each one they brought out looked better than the next.

This is a hidden gem in the Kendall area with amazing food and great customer service. Highly recommended.

I hadn't been to this restaurant in many years. I took a family member for a Birthday lunch. This had a Miami Spice menu, and the food was phenomenal. Even though we had a reservation, we still waited about 20 minutes for a table. The table was stuck in a corner, with no view of the beautiful decor in the main seating area. But, the place was packed with people waiting everywhere, so we were happy to have a table. The service was excellent. My family member had never been to this restaurant, and she loved it. We will return sooner.

Went there with my wife and in-laws . Food is delicious if somewhat pricey. Portions are huge. Loved the veal and prosciutto meatballs as well as the shrimp appetizer. Filet mignon was tender and enormous. The mashed potatoes fluffy. Desert very decadent. Definitely miss lunch before dinner. Place is dark but it helps with the ambiance. I recommend chef Adrienne

This is the modern jewelers!!! Come on !!! Don’t recommend this place ,go to Perry’s instead Overpriced ,and not good food !

I have been to Chef Adrienne's many, many times over the years and it has gotten to a point that you can no longer walk in on a weekday night and get a table without making reservations between 6pm and 9pm. I spent $320.00 on a dinner for 2 to sit at the bar. I get the allure of get people to drive out and not be in the rest of civilization, but at least expand so people who are spending too dollar with you have a nice place to sit and good experience. Also, we asked that the air be turned up a bit as we were freezing cold at the bar and the waitress couldn't be bothered, so we asked for the manager and the manager basically told me that it would take quite a while for the air to get warmer, but he would try to warm it up. The Food, as always, was some of the best in Miami. We had the meatballs for appetizer and 2 Filet Mignons for dinner. Bottle of great wine to finish it all off. Great food but please upgrade to a larger place, even if you want to stay in west Kendall so you can continue on being our favorite place to treat ourselves to a great meal.

Decided to have dinner here for my daughter’s birthday. We arrived and greeted by the hostess, she was friendly and sat us promptly. Melissa our waitress promptly attended to us, and asked us for our drink order. Throughout our meal she was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was very good as well as the ambiance. Overall excellent experience, the only reason I don’t give them a five star rating is because I did bring 20 year old Bordeaux and when decanted it was done without a filter so had a tad of residue, but overall great dining experience.

Yesterday was my second time dining at this restaurant, I went back because I loved their Porterhouse steak. What a surprised that they were not serving it because they change their menu around. If I would have known at that I would have taken my family somewhere else. Instead I ending up having the Harris Ranch Black Angus Five Diamond Reserve, but no comparison to the Porter house. Our server Raul was very nice and attentive. If I go back to a restaurant is because I love what I always eat, people have asked me how it went last night and I told them of how disappointed my family was after tab of over $400.00. I am not going back nor am i recommending this restaurant. Way too overrated and overpriced

Extremely disappointed with the food and the manager. Our steaks were cooked raw and with an excessive amount of salt. Manager came out and recooked our steaks and this time they were fried to a crisp. Third time they were still raw and not cooked like we wanted which was medium well. They took forever and didn’t even give us a courtesy free dessert at the very least. Total bill was $300 and definitely not worth it. Very disappointed 😞

I've been wanting to come to Chef Adrianne's for a very long time and for Mother's Day, my family finally made my wish come true. Let me start by saying that once you enter , you no longer feel as if you're in Miami. The ambiance is truly cozy and the service is just as impeccable. The meal was truly delightful. I had the lamb rack and it was by the far the best I have ever had. It's closest rival are ones I had in Paris a few years back. All the dishes came out piping hot and absolutely delicious. Long story short, this dinner was absolutely amazing and I can't wait to go back.

My husband and i were at a company he does business with in the area and when we asked some of the employees where to go for dinner, they all agreed Chef Adrianne's!! So i called and made us reservations for an hour later and off we went and we are so happy we did!!! What an Amazing Restaraunt, the food is exceptional and presently perfectly, i had the maple glazed salmon and my hubby had the filet mignon.........both were outstanding and we both highly recommend you taking the time to go. You will not be sorry😀

Big fan of the original location, but I think the move to a much bigger location was more than they can handle. Service is extremely slow, food warm at best, steaks not cooked to order, and staff is absent. This is after two visits. First one was 10/31 and the second 12/19. Will not go back. Lost a frequent guest. Same type of environment at the Red Fish Grill. Warm food, slow service, but they do have generous pours of alcohol there. It is a shame too, both the Original Red Fish Grill (closed after hurricane) and Devon were great places to dine. I expected great things once the Chef reopened them, definitely not the case.

This restaurant was recommended as very good. It is located near the Tamiami Airport in a small shopping center. I’m not particular fond of the decor as it quite dark inside. I ordered the Mahi but returned it since it was over cooked. The sautéd spinach and asparagus were fresh but loaded with oil. The fillet tips were actually quite good. The service was very good. I can see how this restaurant can appeal to some but not others.

Great atmosphere, nicely decorated! When you first come in you can hardly see, the place is dark and cozy. Not very large but you better make appointment! Prices are on the high side but are justify with quality, taste and presentation. Homemade Sangria taste great but way overprice at $15 a glass! Overall a culinary experience to remember! Only disappointment was that they ran out of Osso Bucco!

It’s hard to get a reservation for same day or two three days in advance. When you finally arrive to find out what the hype is about your expectations are not met. All dishes we ordered were generally overpriced and not that good. Why? Your only side dish as explained by the waiter is mashed potatoes and spinach. The short ribs were so salty. The corvina looked like tilapia and didn’t taste like corvina. Plus, it shouldn’t have been served with such a heavy starch. The filet mignon was the only saving grace. But perhaps with actual steak sides... The appetizer of goat cheese was not my idea of gourmet, but the tamalitos (deconstructed) were tasty, if not entirely appealing to the eyes. We were turned off by the 10 scoops of ice cream description by the waiter for the snickers so we ordered the mango bread pudding. It looks like a crumble, doesn’t taste like a bread pudding.

I have been here few times. Today for office presentation. It took 2:40 minutes to eat. Only one server for a group of 20 people. If they are not ready for this they should close the private rooms.

It takes a lot of cheek to have your patrons drive all the way to the edge of W Kendall to this godforsaken strip mall and be charged these outrageous prices for this mediocre wine list and just ok food. Not worth the drive. I was charged more than the price of one bottle for just one glass of a cheap Cabernet that one can buy at BJs for $7.50 That should tell you everything about this restaurant. Save your pennies and go splurge somewhere else in the county.

I wish I could eat here all the time! I took a couple of friends to dinner at my favorite restaurant in South Florida. I had been telling my foodie friends about Chef Adrianne's for about two years and was excited to finally be able to see their reaction last night. If you are in Miami and are thinking about coming, there are a couple of things to know. 1) It is not in your typical tourist area, so expect to drive or Uber there. 2) Reservations are a must and in the almost 10 years I have been going there, I have only been able to get in once for dinner without one. 3) Don't be late for your reservation, the demand is high and you will need to be on time! When you are greeted by your server and review the menu, just be certain to listen to the specials before you decide on your order! There are things that are not on the menu nightly. From appetizers to entrées to desserts - do yourself a favor and ASK your server to tell you what is not on the menu that night before you start looking at the printed one - you won't be sorry! I had the brown sugar crusted salmon before it was ever on the menu! If you are lucky enough to have Jacy as your server, tell her that @danmiami sent you :)

Best kept secret in Miami..its not in a crowded loud part of Miami..its tucked away in Kendall and it is the best food I have eaten in Miamiin a long time..

Service was painfully slow and inattentive. Our group of 4 isn’t high maintenance. We just ask for a little bit of basic attention but with no luck. The salmon is great.

We sent our food back twice. The meat taste like it has freezer burn and the Sid’s come out cold. Dont order and backed potato, they put frozen sour crème on it. Managment doesn’t care and give the dumbest excuses.

I have been to this restaurant before and everything was wonderful. So I decided to take my family for my moms 60th birthday and it was horrible! The food took forever, everything was very salty and everything was so expensive for what we were served. I do not mind spending money on something that is delicious. But to spend almost $600 for 6 adults and 2 children and the food was bad was ridiculous!

This is our 3rd visit. It has always been amazing. It may look normal from the outside, but the inside is a different story. Decorated well and a nice wine bar while you wait. Once we told the bartender we were waiting for a table they assigned us the waitress that followed us to our table. Dealing with the same person is a nice touch. Wine was reasonably priced The food was amazing, French onion soup is one of the best I have ever had. I ordered a fish and the waitress was nice enough to say my wife's steak was big enough to share. It was and I am glad I listened to her and canceled my fish. She was being helpful and not worried about the size of the bill. I would go there more often but I live too far I think its a hidden gem

Oh Lawd, simply the best service and the best food. Parking is limited and I would advise to make reservations. Plan on the very best food anywhere.

We have visited this restaurant before. What a disappointment our lunch yesterday. First they called us to see if we were going to be on time and rushed us to order our entrees which came to the table almost an hour after the appetizers. The ceasar salads had no dressing, tasted like raw lettuce. Three of us ordered fish and all were overcooked and dry. We had to pour our wine, service was very slow. The only good thing was the brownie for desert. We were a 4 people party and they charged an automatic 20% gratuity which applies to parties of six or more. Food was extremely overpriced for the quality. You just lost four customers.

YOu get served in a bowl with a mountain of mashed potatoes...try using regular plates...only soup should come in bowls...plus too pricey for what u get

This restaurant is one of my favorites in all of Miami area. I’ve been here twice, both on special occasions and neither time was a disappointment. Upon arriving the first time, I didn’t think we were in the right place, it’s located on the side of a small shopping plaza but as soon as you walk in you forget where you are. It’s a small restaurant and I wouldn’t recommend large parties (and make sure you always have a reservation) but for a date night it is perfect. Great wines, drinks, and most importantly.. amazing food! I always look forward to having a meal here!

We went for lunch on a weekday and it didn't seem that busy yet we had to wait to be seated. The food was great, but the waiter came to our table only 2 times, when we ordered and when we paid. He did not come ask if the food was to our liking nor to refill our drinks. We had to ask another server to refill our drinks and for the dessert menu. Sadly, we are not going back because the experience was not that pleasant.

This was a wowwww when we get in!! I though that because of the address it was going to be .... but what was our surprise that since the moment we entered the magic hit us. Very romantic, classic.The food was AMAZING. We try the duck and the wild corvina. Still i can taste it in my memory

This is a very hip restaurant in Miami. It is a noisy place with lots of activity. Our table shared the burrata with melon and prosciutto appetizer which was amazing. We sampled three of the fish offerings on the menu. The red snapper and salmon were big hits. The mahi mahi was raw in the middle. For $39 a plate and a restaurant which promotes an up and coming chef it was a huge disappointment. All fish dishes were served on a bed of potatoes with spinach which was delicious. Service was slow. We did not have dessert.

This Restaurant was Highly Recommended by my Nephew and his Fiance. We arrived at 9 PM to check in for our reservation for a party of five. We checked in and were told that they were not able to tell us when we could be seated because the place was full and they wanted guests to have a good experience and stay as long as they wanted. We went outside to have a seat and waited 30 minutes. We were seated in a very uncomfortable booth surrounded by very loud large parties. Music was extremely loud and unpleasant. We ordered appetizers, they were delicious. My friend ordered a Wedge Salad that never came to the table. After he asked the waitress about it, she told him they were out of Wedge Lettuce. Our entrees finally came out at 11:30 PM, that is right 11:30pm, 2 hours after we were seated. All Entrees, with the exception of one were cold. By that time tempers were flaring at the table. We were all extremely upset and then we knew why seating us and everyone else was taking so long, it was because the kitchen was crashing. All of this shows very poor management of the place. Profits before guest service must be the Moto here. I must say our waitress Carmen was very gracious, although she could barely look at us anymore to tell us time after time that the food was coming. Poor thing ran out of excuses. A Manager never came to the table, putting all the stress on the waitress. Perhaps if he had done so and explain the situation, or buy us a round of drinks or dessert things would have been different. Our Entrees were comped and by this time it was already past Midnight. I hope that the owners read this review, as well as many others that i have read with the same or worse issues. I have been in the F&B Industry for 25 years and this was unacceptable. Managers must always touch the tables when situations like this happen and it was happening all around us. Three and a half hours waiting for food its not acceptable in any Restaurant. We don't live in Miami anymore, but rest assured that we will never come here again. The waitress asked us to return on a weekday when its less busy so that she could give us a different experience. Like I said, she had more balls than the manager, perhaps she should take over his position. Never again, not on a weekday, weekend, holiday, NEVER. Thank you Chef Adrienne for ruining my Birthday Dinner.

Nice place to celebrate in family. Excellent food and services. Waiting time was not too bad and staff were nice.

Where is the famous chef?? Good over-priced and small portions. Not all it's cracked up to be. Staff are not the most polite- don't acknowledge you when you arrive! Not impressed and we dine at high end restaurants monthly! Will the real chef Adrienne please come out of the kitchen and present yourself!!

Halibut was very dry .58 dollars is expensive for this plate. We gave a third chance to this place.not worth it to come back

Food and service was great!!! The pork dumplings have great taste. The duck and the lamb chops are delicious. I will definitely come back. Really enjoy the food and the service was impeccable.

It was not what I expected for lunch. The menu was the one of the evening. They sound expensive and are expensive. Caesar Salad was served in a very small plate and had no dressing nor anchovies. The sauces in the pork loin and the corvina were excellent, as well as the mashed potatoes. Would I go back? Perhaps. But definitely, this restaurant will not be at the top of my favorites.

We have been here several times and have never been disappointed. We arrived 30 mins before closing time and that can be problematic, right? Not here! We received the usual outstanding hospitality and the food was amazing! We had 12 oz Filet Mignon with a cognac Dijon mustard sauce, heavenly mashed potatoes and spinach. The majestic tower that is this filet defies description as it is a perfect cut and the preparation was spot on! We also had the Osso Bucco which is the best that I've ever had! Bar none! We started with the legendary goat cheese balls and a deconstructed wedge salad. Again... Perfect! Chef Adrianne's is great for a date night and is truly upscale but with the portion sizes and quality, it is a great value and totally unpretentious. Such friendly service. You have my word, you'll never be disappointed.

Our group enjoyed the Miami Spice Menu. The goat cheese appetizer was wonderful as was the house salad. I had the steak frites which I totally enjoyed the other in the party raved about their short ribs. Both the bread pudding and tres leches polished off a great meal. Oh… I forgot the bread rolls and pesto/chimmichurri sauce at the begin had us begging for more.

Visited the new Adriannes vineyard in town n country and it really was fantastic. We had a caprese appetizer that was very good. I had the NY strip which was perfectly cooked. My wife had the snapper fillet which she also liked. The place is very lively/loud, but I believe that means people are having a good time. Highly recommend.

Went with a friend for dinner last Friday after hearing so many great reviews and suggestions from friends. The place was nice, the staff was very attentive and provided an excellent, overall experience. The menu / food was quite creative and the portions are large for the most part. Prices are a bit high for the location, but then again, the portions are quite generous! Food presentation was well described and the Rack of Lamb was very good, according to my friend. The Corvina (or Sea Bass as it was described) encrusted with Pistachio, was quite pricey for what it was provided, in my opinion. The presentation was generic, on a bed of cooked spinach on top of somewhat, bland generic mash potatoes. I’ve had better Sea Bass on Mashed Potatoes at Bone Fish Grill for half the wait and cost. The white Sangria / Passion fruit was a great combination of flavors, not too sweet nor tart. Now I see why it has been named best Sangria in town. Kudos on the white Sangria! The Creme Brule was not as fabulous as the description on the menu. Perhaps my expectation was much higher based on the menu, but there was nothing to it and very bland. The Lobster Bisque was excellent with a nice blend and balance of Sherry. Be-ware, you will get a full bowl, not a cup. The Bread pudding desert looked amazing and was "superb" according to my friend. I unfortunately, was no longer in the mood of trying / sampling anything else after the disappointed meal and tasting the very blah, Creme Brule. Not a repeat for me.

went for lunch, service is always great and the food constantly good. Ambience was good. Has become my favorite restaurant .Try the pomegranate sangria, it was great.

We go here often but was little disappointed the steak this time was dry. But regardless we love the place any ways they have the best sangria and the and bread is great. They have other great food selection on the menu try it out, any ways.

The wait staff is wonderful here. Attentive, polite and accommodating. I only wish the quality of the food lived up to that standard. I ate the broiled oysters, which tasted good but were each smaller than a dime; I had to ask for a spoon to eat them since they slipped through the tines of the dinner fork. (No tiny fork was given, as is often the case when oysters are served.) The bread was standard, supermarket white rolls. It was served with a pesto/oil/parm sauce, but even that couldn't make the bread worth eating. And for an entree I ordered the duck, specifying that I wanted it cooked just barely pink. It arrived rare, so I had to send it back. They reheated it, so the duck was then cooked but by that time the "crispy Brussels sprouts" that it came with were made limp. Not that I wanted to eat much of this anyway, because the entire dish was so salty that all I tasted was salt. If you're on a low-sodium diet, don't order the duck. The onion rings were okay. For a place that isn't inexpensive, and clearly wants to be thought of as having a high level of culinary excellence, the food falls far short.

Was the best birthday that I ever had. The food was awesome and amazing with the best host and services in town. Recommend this top restaurant for food and service. Thank you all the awesome time. 👍

Went with my wife for happy hour. Ordered a charcuterie board, presentation was awful, huge chunks of cheese, stale crackers, uneven cut salami. Ordered a dozen oysters, they tasted good , but presentation was really sloppy, finally we ordered the “Diamond cut” filet, supposedly top top 3% of premium beef, Ordered it medium and off course it was over cooked, they served a pound of mashed potatoes tha looked like they just threw it in the plate, ( you get better presentation at la carreta). Spent $200 and it sucked. That being said I’ve been ther before and it has been really good. Staff needs more supervision

This was my second visit to this restaurant and though it was very good, it was not as good as the last time I was here. The appetizers came quickly and were wonderful. We had tuna and wontons. The steaks were outstanding, and cooked perfectly. The salmon was a bit overcooked. The osso bucco was good, but not great.

Came in to the restaurant yesterday with high expectations. The place is beautiful. The decoration is very nice. Didn't made a reservation but I didnt had to wait long. My wife and I, are dinning enthusiasts. The weiter kept pooring the wine like if he wanted us drunk before dinner. This is not cheap wine, the appetizer was impressive. Fried Goat cheese over prosciutto and fig jelly. Here is the problem. I paid 47.oo for a New York Steak. Firts it didn't look like the cut I ordered and the meat was over cooked. I ordered medium but it was near well done. The fish my wife has, was actually better. 41.oo btw. Didn't had dessert. Needless to say I wasnt happy. So I paid and left disappointed.

I have eaten here several times prior. This time we were dissapointed. Service was just okay. Considering the restaurant you do expect elevated service. We went long times with empty glasses of water. After waiting for a long time, we had to request the bread for the table. There were 4 of us and our server brought a basket with 3 breads. We ordered the Brown Sugar Salmon, the Salmon Rockefeller and special of the day Snapper. Of all the best was the Brown Sugar Salmon. The Salmon Rockefeller was lacking flavor. The server mentioned it contained mango which we did not taste. One of the Brown Sugar Salmon contained 3 pieces of fish bones. The server mentioned that the special of the day Snapper was deboned. It still contained many pieces of fish bone. We had a carrot soup that was beyond delicious. For appetizers we had the Ceviche Tacos that were okay (it brings three small tacos) and the Salmon Crispy Rice that was delicious. The ambiance continues to be nice. The menu I got seemed worn out with light print that made it hard to see. The dessert menu had writing on it. Would not expect this from Chef Adrianne's. It used to have a high level of quality and excellence that this time it fell short of our expectations. Especially, for the price that is charged for the food. Our bill was over $300.

Worst experience EVER!!! Half of the food never came out and the other half came over cooked. What a disappointment. The whole experience was a disappointment from the moment we got there to the moment we had to cancel the rest of the food that didn’t come out. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. Better off going to chick-fil-a.

I wanted to try this restaurant during the Miami spice period. I am glad I did . My server was a charming young lady whose name was Amanda.She did an excellent job. My starter was a very tasty Caeser salad. My main course was a soft short rib with nicely whipped sweet potato. My dessert was a tasty bread pudding with a scoop of ice cream. I was quite full, and I will be back in the near future.

Great atmosphere to enjoy lunch or dinner with family or friends. Lunch was delicious and the service really good. Will go again at dinner time.

We showed up without reservations (not recommended) and we're told we would have a 45 min wait. But the receptionist was awesome and got us a table within 15 min. The place is quite small, reason why reservations are highly recommended a week in advance. But it is quite cozy and romantic. Service is great! And the food is amazing! It is expensive, but worth the price. And excellent restaurant for a special and romantic occasion.

Had great expectations, but was dissapionted. The restaurant was empty and they made us wait to be seated. Service was good. Ordered the chicken delicate dish. My wife had wild alaskan salmon and was not very good.

We really wanted to enjoy eating at Chef Adrianne’s Vineyard Restaurant in Town and Country off Kendall and gave it lots of chances because it is near our home and the location is nice. Our last visit was very disappointing except for our server, Brennan. He was excellent!!! We had lunch on a Saturday and the pork was dry, the sashimi dish had over-salted and burned vegetables on top, the New York strip was cooked well but was flavorless, and the food took forever to arrive even though the restaurant was almost empty. The bread pudding and the mashed sweet potatoes were our favorite dishes. I’ve had enough of paying high prices for the privilege of eating at a restaurant that has the name of a famous chef, but none of the quality food that made the chef famous to begin with. I’ve enjoyed the food at many small and inexpensive restaurants much more. I would probably have had a more satisfying meal at a fast food restaurant! I gave it one star only because Brennan made our experience a pleasant one even though the food was terrible. Most home cooks could have made this food tastier. It was an expensive lesson to learn.

Very disappointed. Food presentation it’s a 1 at the most. Flavor: Insipid. I have been going to Adrianne’s sporadically since her old restaurant in the Hammocks. Originally it was very good but lately has become a Caricature of the original. We begun with a bottle of Moët Chandon Imperial Brut and 2 order of Cajun style broiled oysters. They where good but 3 of them where so small that not even the waiter could see them. So we asked for a replacement and brought 2 and 1 of them was missing. I complained and asked for an other one. Finally it came when I was having my salad. Very good but no dressing. Next we ordered a bottle of Stags Leap Artemis 2018 CS. And a rack of lam, I ordered a duck breast with polenta & wilted spinach the other person ordered a Snapper with mashed potatoes. Here comes the food 😱 My duck breast comes semi sliced on top of a disgusting looking corn slurry The other persons “Toasted Garlic Brown Butter, White Truffle Oil, Garlic Sautéed Spinach, Fresh Mashed Potatoes” was a mound of mashed potatoes with a fish filet on top. It was horrendous looking. Think of the Everest with a fish on top. As to my “Maple Leaf Duck Farms Duck Breast Whipped Corn Puree, Garlic Sautéed Spinach, Truffle Au Jus” it was a shock to my eyes. Think of a Poke Bowl but on top of a runny corn slur and a unsavory gravy on the side. I was si shocked that I didn’t take a picture and told the waiter that it was the wrong order. He said that it was their style of presentation. I asked to please serve it on a plate rather than a soup bowl. They brought it back looking like a mess hall food. The duck breast was awful, no taste, skin was soggy and mixed with the corn slur. The rack of lamb was decent but accompanied by at least 10 big florets half burned broccoli. The best thing was the wine, can’t go wrong there. My bill was $540 with tip. I called the manager John and told him I was gonna write this review. So here I am. Just forget about that place. Kendall has bad restaurants but this is the worst.

The food was excellent! We had Mahi and tenderloins with desert of crime brûlée and brownie. Everything would have been perfect except the wait time for the main meal and the desert, a little too long.

How would you rate? Six of us and $600.00 later. Three women and three men. The women each ordered something different from the seafood side of the menu. All three men ordered the $58.00 signature Filet Mignon. All women rated their food at 5 on a 1 - 5 rating. All three uf us men ordered and rated the steaks at a best of 2 1/2. All said, no flavor... very tender, but no flavor with a mountain of mashed potato’s on the side. Gratuity was included at 20% and I had to ask our server to slow down, as we were not in a big hurry. BTW, he didn’t come back to see if everything was good once served. Small wine selection and the least expensive was $50.00 for a bottle of red. Three desserts ordered. Again... the women enjoyed. The men all thought yuck. The brownie had two very large marshmallows and a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. I did call back to the restaurant to speak with the on-duty manager. He seemed surprised at my comments and actually went on to defend how great the steaks are. I reached out to give an opinion, as I would not want to create a scene with our friends. I wouldn’t have accepted anything from him, even if offered. If this is what Chef Adrianne is selling... Our $600.00 won’t be buying again. I’m missing Devon’s. The restaurant there before Chef Adrian’s., they knew how to prepare a steak.

I enjoyed sharing my favorite Blackened Grouper sandwich in town along with some short rib tacos with a friend. We finished with a wonderful brownie desert along with Green Bloody Marie's. Another wonderful meal at Chef Adrianne's.

I was so disappointed. This place was recommended by one of my credit card company. I looked at the menu I read some of the reviews so I was very excited to experience this restaurant for my husband birthday. My husband is a Chef so when I take him out it has to be top level as he works in fine dining. It started off great. Service was good throughout our experience and for that alone I gave the 3⭐️ however food and drinks was a bit of a let down. For drinks I ordered Lychee Martini. They brought me a Lychee Guava Martini, apparently that’s a specialty cocktail of theirs. They remade it to just Lychee but it was awful. It wasn’t a real martini with the actual fruit but the Syrup. I didn’t drink it, it sat on the table the entire time with no mention from anyone if I wanted something else. We ordered Burrata Amalfi and the Bone Marrow for apps. My husband said the burrata was great however the bone marrow was extremely salty that I couldn’t even eat it. The bacon onion jam on the bone barrow was laughable if that is what they considered bacon onion jam. Again my husband is a Chef and he not only works in fine dining but in the many years we’ve been together we’ve experienced some amazing cuisine domestically as well as internationally. I love Bone Marrow so I was very disappointed this appetizer was inedible. My entree I ordered “their special” for the night Sea Bass with risotto. The waiter came and told me they ran out of risotto would I like another side I chose asparagus. I was quite shocked to see the food runner bring me a Mahi Mahi. I hate Mahi Mahi and would never order it. I expressed I ordered the Seabass they proceeded to tell me they have none. I was completely done at this point. This restaurant comes off as fine dining but is FAR from it. We traveled 2 hrs to dine here and I won’t be making that mistake again. The atmosphere is nice, service was nice but the food was beyond disappointing which is sad as this is after all a restaurant.

The food and drinks were very good, that is, excellent, but the service of the waitress was terrible, she was never there. On 3 occasions I stopped at the bar to look for drinks because she did not appear, the soups for the starters never arrived, the food arrived in parts at about first and others after a while, that is, I would never return, what a shame I recommend to the chef oh owner to be more careful when selecting the waiters my opinion oh experience was terrible on her part I hope it doesn't happen to others

I absolutely love Chef Adrianne, her quality of food and staff! Every year I've gone for my birthday with a group and periodically for a lunch or dinner with a friend or two and I'm always impressed. Her humbleness and compassion for what she does and for the community are remarkable. She's truly remarkable and a reflection of what God calls blessed. Thanks Chef Adrianne and staff! See you again very soon! Love and blessings to all of you!

Just had dinner, with a few friends at this Restaurant and it was Superb, will return again in the futrure.

Starting with parking a real disaster. A public parking given to a private co. To benefit Adrianne….shameful. Patrice’s are exorbitant for very poor quality…our table of 5 had three different dishes ,mine, the chilaquiler was terrible, the tacos mediocre, avocado, was ok but overpriced for what we received. The hostess at desk, acted as the boss, should be fired.me and wife ,over 80 years of age, would not sit us, had reservations, till remainder of party arrived,however next to out table a party of 6 or 7 sat them as arrived….many waiters came to say hello to these young people, must have been employees. This occurred today Sunday. This place is overrated, poor service, took 2 hours to eat . The only time a supervisor ,I say thos because was only white young man dressed with a sport coat(¿???).his words ….sorry for delay….no good morning no ,how is everything? Can I get you something. Place was full…..must be making bags of money…..However overrated place, overcharging of mediocre food I assume you don’t need my business….but will never ever step in that place.

Live close by and routinely pass by for a fantastic meal. Call ahead for reservations as they fill up quickly. If you don't mind sitting at bar there is usually space if you are early. Everything on the menu is delicious but my favorite by far is the osso bucco, ribeye, strip, sirloin, and the corvina. Don't sell full liquor but wine selection is good. No kids except for mother and father day. Definitely recommend for a romantic dinner or to eat good food.

This is by far one of our favorite restaurants in Miami and the best one in kendall for any date nights. Adrianne and her staff deliver amazing dishes night after night. Go and you definitely won't be disappointed

This is off the beaten track, in a nondescript strip shopping center. The food is a combination of usual favorites with bold flavor up ticks. The food and the people are excellent, BUT the place is noisy and the service is directly effected by the number of people dining. This is a wine and beer place but their In-House Made Sangria is OUTSTANDING. The white sangria is made with passion fruit while their red sangria is made with pomegranate. The appetizers had special little kicks to them - the Caprese salad had some little fried prosciutto to give it a little crunch and a hint of flavor. The pork fried wonton was a deconstructed wonton with a little feta cheese for a unique but subtle flavor. The osso buco had a hint of chili. Truly an amazing food experience.

I cannot speak for the restaurant's cuisine as we did not even get beyond the front door! I made a reservation by phone to celebrate a family member's birthday. The restaurant had been recommended by several people who live in the area so the trip there would have been worthwhile for our celebratory dinner. The hostess on the phone was aware of the birthday celebration and I even recall how easy it was to make the reservation for a Sunday evening. Much to our surprise, when the family members arrived at the restaurant we were not allowed to dine there with two (babies) children in our party. I totally "get it" being an adults only dining experience but my issue is that NO ONE at NO TIME had disclosed the NO CHILDREN policy. It proved to be an embarrassment as we stood in their parking lot trying to think of a last minute dining venue and an abrupt interruption of our evening of family celebration. So it may be a fine restaurant but if you are a family with children.... even babies, you are evidently not welcomed at Chef Adrianne's.

The night of my birthday, we took a chance and went without a reservation. Obviously we couldn't sit and dine but we ask to be seated at the bar for appetizers and drinks. Ambiance was very intimate and the excitement was building up. To start, we order a bottle of wine and a small four chicken drumstick appetizer. Food came with the drinks and literally two minutes later we were ask (at the bar) If we were ready to order- dinner. We were glad and confused at the same time that we could dine at the bar and informed our waiter , who had a French accent, that we were not ready to order yet. Not another two minutes went by that we were ask again and there after a third time. We were still working on the appetizer. The perception to us, honestly felt rushed and even though we let the server know it was my birthday, there was no acknowledgement whatsoever. We decided to ask for the check and leave. I wanted to provide feedback and the same night I called asking for the manager. The person who came to the phone coincidently had a French accent very similar to our server - I politely ask for the Chef herself and shared our rushed experience. She was very apologetic and offered a bottle of wine on the house at our next visit.

Everything we ordered was perfect, obviously prepared by a Master Chef. Great service and attention to detail. A little pricey and the dining room is too dark. For sure one of the top restaurants in South Florida.

Wow what a find! I looked at "near me now" and found this lovely restaurant. We were seated near a cute young couple who engaged us in conversation. She was in culinary school and her BF brought her here to meet her favorite chef. She has been a huge fan of Chef Adrianne's since she appeared on Chopped. Chef graciously came out at the end of their dinner to introduce herself. She asked about the diner's culinary career and was so encouraging to her. I was impressed before I had anything more than their house made sangria. Which I might add is fabulous! We tried to buy some to take home but they aren't allowed to sell it. The red was pomegranate and the white was passion fruit based. They were like nectar of the gods. It was delicious. Then I had the filet which was HUGE 12 oz of perfectly tender medium rare beef coupled with the creamiest mashed potatoes I have ever had. We should have split the filet. My husband had the rack of lamb which also came medium rare and must have included 2 fat chops. We shared a bottle of wine also. It was a wonderful dining experience, great ambiance and an honor to see such a gifted chef take the time to encourage a young student. Tab was $125 and for the evening we had, we felt this was a very reasonable price.

Can you give a place six stars? Although it has an unassuming exterior and is relatively small, Chef Adrianne gets everything right! The decor, the lighting, the servers, and the food! It was on Yelp's Top 50 in Miami Restaurants in 2015, and there is a Good reason for that. I've been there twice, and everything has been excellent! The menu varies, so I won't go into those details. The one thing is that the portions are large. Not a bad thing, just get ready to take some home if you don't eat that much! Worth the drive from anywhere in South Florida!

Been dining at Chef Adrianne's for more than 20 years since her old location off near Tamiami Airport but have seen this once amazing restaurant slip to the point it is unrecognizable. There is NO quality control in the kitchen. Each one of our 3 courses were served lukewarm to cold. The crab cakes had been fried a long time ago, the osso bucco and mashed potatoes were almost cold, and the white chocolate bread pudding was below room temperature. It was a Saturday night and I was told Chef Adrianne had left at 9 pm that evening. This cannot happen at 5 star restaurant where the chef owner is in control. In the old days, every single dish was served straight out of the kitchen, piping hot, and you could tell everything was overseen by Chef Adrianne. Her restaurant used to be flawless in every aspect. Now, it is run by staff who simply do not care about the product they are presenting. Chef Adrianne probably does not even realize what is going on. After more than 20 years of enjoying fine dining at Chef Adrianne's and still fondly remembering her Maximum Flavor menu, we are truly saddened that her namesake restaurant has deteriorated this badly. Wish it were not so.

Let me be clear: the food is 5 star, the service is 5 star. I particularly appreciated our server warning me that the "appetizer" tamalito was large. It turned out to be sufficient for a full meal and it was delicious. Our water was kept filled, the waiter was attentive without being overbearing, and all of the food was outstanding. However, at high noon, the place is as dark as a basement, and when we tried to open the blinds to let in a little light, we were handed a flashlight and told that the chef prefers a "romantic atmosphere." Furthermore, the restaurant is decorated with artifacts from the Napa Valley, and it is called a "Vineyard" restaurant, but the selections of wine by the glass are pedestrian. I don't mind at all that they are all from the west coast of the United States, but there is a surfeit of interesting vineyards, and the restaurant only offers wines by the glass from the boring mega-producers. If neither of these issues would bother you, then come enjoy a five star meal with five star service!

Saturday, November 18, 2021, I went to celebrate a friend for a surprise birthday party and had a rude awakening. The management is less to be desired in the way they handle large groups (in particular a large group of black women). The host of the party had placed a deposit for the dinner and was told when we got there that the group of 20 would have to be separated in order to accommodate the party, What restaurant separates a party on the inside and has the other party sit outside? Make it make sense. The management in particular the assistant general manager was cold and inconsiderate. The woman manager did try. The second table had to wait an hour for the "other table" all while a perfectly vacant table was available for an hour and and a half. Yes we timed it! In the time that they claimed they could not accommodate us we would have finished and left the premises without incident. Instead we dealt with no server at the 2nd table until it was demanded after waiting even longer. The only reason the people in the party did not leave was out of respect for the host who planned the party. Otherwise, this review would have taken another turn. We are in 2021 where it is clear that either customer service is no longer a thing or the color of your skin is determined on how you are treated in certain establishments. Now I will say the servers and their assistants took care of the party once we finally were helped, but the wait made it very difficult not to think we were purposely being ignored. Needless to say we will not be returning to any of Chef Adrienne's restaurants, Only spend your hard earned money where you are appreciated. Chef Adrienne I would take a hard look at who you have managing your restaurants and retrain them on customer service. The customer is not always right, but the customer should be respected and treated correctly when they come to your place of business to spend their HARD EARNED MONEY!!!
