"As an Ambassador member, Cooper’s is my first choice in dining. However last night we had to wait an exceptionally long time at our table before service arrived. When she (Giuliana) did arrive she was outstanding. Efficient, friendly, and helpful. However, the food was not up to standards as my son's fries that accompanied his churrasco were soggy and cold. This is one off event and I will still recommend Cooper’s Hawk."

"The food at this restaurant is mediocre, with nothing particularly impressive on the menu. The ambiance is pleasant and the service is good, but overall it's just average. I feel that the prices are a bit high for the quality of the food, but that's just my personal opinion."

"Was looking for a quick meal to grab when I stopped here starving. This Venezuelan eatery offers all the typical fare you?d expect (at great prices) and even has a couple notable specials like 2 of their Engy Hot Dogs with a fountain soda for only $3.99 after 3p.m. I decided to go for their ?You Can?t Eat Just One Empanadita? special to start which includes 3 fried empanadas of your choice and a fountain soda for $3.99. The empanadas were mediocre, nothing special to rave about though I really enjoyed their house sauces served with them which you shouldn?t miss out on! For my entree I decided to get their Steak Pepiarepa $8.99 since I had never seen anything like it before. Their Pepiarepas are fried arepas cut into chunks, cabbage, tomatoes, ham, boiled egg, mustard, ketchup and their house ?engy? sauce so kind of like a deconstructed arepa served in a bowl with your choice of protein. I think I would have preferred ordering a normal stuffed arepa to this even though the flavors and combination were somewhat tasty. Some of the ingredients (like the arepa and steak pieces) were over cooked making it chewy and the whole thing taste pretty second-rate. I did come 30 minutes before closing which I usually try to avoid and maybe is why my meal came out just okay. The staff was very friendly and it was an inviting eatery, but I can?t see myself venturing back any time soon."

"At the enchanting culinary haven of PURE JOY, the experience is simply exceptional. Mr. Vera and his family, headed by his wife Milagros and daughter Mariana, radiate love and hospitality. Every bite of their delicious meals and snacks is a pleasure for the palate. Gabriel and all the staff demonstrate unparalleled kindness and attention. As I am a regular visitor to pure joy and a demanding consumer of good coffee; I give particular credit to Ms. Albany, who creates coffee with a magical touch and an infectious smile. The atmosphere is cozy and the products stand out for their quality and freshness. In addition, the impeccable level of hygiene and care in every corner of the premises is evident. In short, without a doubt, PURE JOY fully lives up to its name. Every visit to this enchanting place is an experience of distinctive and pleasurable pure joy that reflects its own personality."

"Moderato… Great place for Italian food in Doral! I had the chance to eat there a couple of times and both times were great. I rarely go out of my house to have pasta; I think I can make a very decent pasta dish myself at home. However, at Moderato you are going to find an extensive menu with great dishes to share. The portions are generous and well presented. The restaurant is well kept, and the service is outstanding. Last night we had the pleasure of meeting Daniela who took care of our orders, she did a fantastic job of explaining the dishes and was quick to make sure we had everything we always needed. There is plenty of free parking and the prices are fine."

"Took my wife her for her birthday since she requested Asian cuisine for her birthday dinner. Weâve been to a number of Asian/Asian fusion cuisine restaurants and all of them have been amazing, so this was our first time here so we were looking forward to it. The environment and ambiance is nice and sets the mood but the loud noise from the staff and other customers was louder for a moderate size place. Saw a lot of staff diddle-daddling giving sub par hospitality service. The hostess who sat us made a big deal about us being a few minutes late for the reservation but told us they still have our table. I didnât needed that run around explanation, just tell me if I have to wait cuz Iâm late for my reservation or what not. Plus they had plenty of tables open so it was barely busy. The cocktail drinks were anything but typical. We were expecting something new and refreshing but the Asian mojito and sake yule were made like a typical bar drink from sports bar. I was not impressed nor was my wife. The food was pretty decent. The sushi rolls was good and the nippon burger was not bad at all, something different from your typical burger. The service was really sub par and disappointing since itâs a restaurant. In typical Miami attitude fashion, the waiters didnât really pay attention to the customer and just came in to take your plate when youâre done. Not really asking if everything was ok or did we need anything. Iâve seen better service in Chiliâs and Kendall ale house compared to what we experienced tonight. If youâre a typical Miami resident who is all about style and appearance and donât care about how great the food or arrive is, then come here. Otherwise I wouldnât suggest this place to anyone nor would I try again."

"TikTok made me do it! let me tell you, I DON?T REGRET IT! Bless whoever made the Sesame Asian Cuisine ?All You Can Eat? TikTok pop up on my home page. This place is a gem that must be protected at all costs! Of course I went to the All You Can Eat Brunch which takes places on the weekends from 11am to 4pm for $40! Additionally to their brunch they also have amazing cocktail promos such as the 2 hours bottomless mimosa for $19 and their 2 cocktails for $20. Btw: They also an a la carte offering if brunching is not your thing. The second I walked in this place I was mesmerized by the Asian pop culture inspired decor all across the restaurant. Everything looked so cute and every corned is highly Instagramable! I arrived around 11:45-12pm so there was no wait time, however when I was leaving at around 2pm the line outside was quite long so I?d recommend securing your spot by making a reservation. We were welcomed by the super friendly staff and our server who quickly lead us to our table. She was so kind and explained throughly about how the brunch worked and even gave us recommendations. My top picks are: Pork Belly Bun, Pork Belly Donburi, Shrimp Tempura Roll. For the in depth breakdown: I ordered the Spicy Garlic Edamame (6/10 , Pork Belly Bun (10/10 MUST MUST MUST TRY! One of the best pork belly buns I?ve tried in my life! , Homemade Spring Roll (5/10 , Basil Asian Fried Calamari (6.5/10 they were too oily and salty , Crab Rangoons (7/10 , Tropical Ceviche (7.5/10 , Ultimate Dragon Roll (7/10 , Shrimp Tempura Roll (8.5/10 , Ocean Cobra Roll (7.5/10 , California Roll (8/10 , Pork Belly Donburi (9.5/10 SO SO DELICIOUS ! Can?t wait to visit again!"

"When you search Beirut Doral restaurant, it shows that there is still happy hour. The main reason we went yesterday was to celebrate a coworkers birthday with a happy hour. It is false advertising to have it on the website. When we asked about it, the waitress was dismissive and a little rude. Also, they have a list of crafted cocktails… and that’s all there is. They have a bar that’s just for show because you can only ask from the list provided. ALSO, There were a couple people in our party who didn’t speak Spanish. And it was super clear the waitress spoke English but no matter what, she refused to speak in the language that our table was all speaking. I get it, we are in Doral.. but this is a LEBANESE restaurant. How do you expect to gain customers who want authentic Lebanese food when everyone only speaks Spanish and there are tequenos and pasta on the menu… it’s ridiculous. No one in our party plans to return to this place. Highly would NOT recommend."

"The atmosphere at this restaurant is fantastic, and the appetizers are truly authentic and delicious. I haven't tried the main courses yet, but if you visit a Lebanese restaurant, be sure to order the Mezza. The Kibbeh Neia wasn't as impressive, but the Kibbeh, hummus, tabbouleh, and batata harra were all excellent. The hookah experience was fantastic, and the vibe, music, and dancing were spot on. We were treated to a belly dancing performance when we visited on Friday."

"I want to start off by saying that this place has a nice atmosphere and they were able to sit us without a reservation on a busy Sunday. The restaurant was adequately staffed but the service was slow and a bit inattentive. The food is not true Peruvian food but a latin fusion. They gave us a free starter which were sweet potato chips and they were stale and you can tell they had been sitting for a while. The food was decent enough the lomo tequeños were on the thinner side and they were flaky. The tallarines were cheesy and not the bright Peruvian green that you expect the lomo was chewy and lacked flavor. The chaufa was decent but nothing special. The picarones were really good and I recommend them if you like buñuelos. The suspiro limeño tasted like a can of condensed milk it was overly sweet and and no taste of lime. I can say that the plating was beautiful. The only reason this place doesn’t get more stars from me is when we went to pay the bill the waiter decided to explain how tipping worked because we decided to split the bill. The lowest tip they offer is 18% even for lackluster and inattentive service."

"It's worth mentioning that we've enjoyed Kokai Sushi in the past; the food was typically fresh and delicious. We usually order through either DoorDash or UberEATS, but this time we had to use Sauce delivery, which unfortunately proved unhelpful when our order was unacceptable. I can't fathom that Uber or DoorDash would refuse to assist in a situation like this, which raises questions about why the restaurant has chosen to partner with Sauce. It almost seems like they’re avoiding accountability for poor food quality and service."

"I 'm glad this popped up in the area because I love a food smoothie and I 'm always looking for healthy alternatives for a quick bite. The menu has a lot of good options and breaks it into categories to help you choose like wellness smoothies and lower calorie smoothies. I had the Tropi-Kale and my friend has the South Pacific Breeze. We both enjoyed and the smoothies were refreshing! Overall, the establishment was clean and the service was great so I will likely return!"

"Hello! I’m from New York and have been on the hunt for great pizza in Doral for quite a while, and I finally found it! The pizza arrives piping hot, and the dough is fresh rather than frozen. The pepperoni is small and crispy—absolutely delicious! Additionally, my son loves their chicken sandwich. I wholeheartedly recommend this pizza place, and I assure you I wasn’t compensated for this review. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! It’s a bit on the pricey side, but the portions are generous. Excellent service and fresh ingredients do come at a cost! November 1, 2022. Love, Lena Maloney and Family in Doral."

"I went last night with 3 friends to celebrate a birthday, the service was horrible! It took them like 30 minutes to ask us for a drink. The menu says they have rice for the bowls, we ordered the bowl with rice 15 minutes later they told us that they don’t have rice, it was a mistake in the menu. They brought the food only for two people and the other two were served 10 minutes later. I used to go to this place but not any more! Worst service ever!!!"
"The vegetarian pizza was delicious, and the Margherita was also tasty. I loved the flavor and texture of the cheese and sauce. Although one side of my pizza had a crust that was too thick in comparison to the toppings, I still enjoyed it. I wish there was more basil, as I received less than what was shown in the pictures. The delivery included chili flakes and oregano which enhanced the taste of the pizza."

"Where do I start? The first time the employees were polite food ok. The second time, the meat extremely salty. Tonight, I figured I give-it another try. Well what can I say I asked a normal plain question and the guy who was doing the dishes came over. First, no hello, good evening, and major attitude: All because I don 't speak Spanish- Welcome to America. Second: He responded: It comes with salt. [I asked if salt was added on prem or if factory added . Never an excuse or I 'm sorry for my previous experience, and to top it off, rolled his eyes [True Drama Queen . If I was him, I would have started by apologizing and asking if I would like to try a piece of the meat-A complete incompetent person. I was given the look of How dare you not speak Spanish. My money doesn 't go to businesses where employees are rude, uneducated, and think he or she cannot be bothered...DO NOT GO TO THIS GYROVILLE. Oh Kitchen floors do not look too clean. Later, I will check state of FL and see if any food sanitation violations."

"The Cheese Course Bistro in Pinecrest was a delicious lunch spot! We went on a Sunday and it was quite busy, so it took a while (around 30 minutes) to get service after we were seated. It didn 't bother us, but if you 're in a rush, keep that in mind. The staff seemed a bit short handed, but they were all very friendly and attentive once they reached our table. The best part? The food! Their tables are spaced out nicely, so even with the crowd, it felt comfortable. I tried one of their perfect pairings the mushroom and brie soup with a smoked salmon sandwich. It was fantastic! The soup was incredible, and the sandwich with cream cheese was delicious too. We shared a nutella tartine for dessert, which was basically heaven on french bread. Everything was amazing. For four people, the bill came to around $100, which is a good value for the quality of food. Overall, The Cheese Course Bistro is a great place for a relaxed lunch with delicious food. Just be aware it can get busy, and service times might reflect that."

""We strongly recommend this restaurant in Doral for its authentic Venezuelan flavors. The arepas and pork brot are especially exceptional and should not be missed. This family-owned business has been serving delicious food for over twenty years. If you enjoy fried dishes, this is definitely a place you should visit.""

"Absolutely recommend! We’ve visited this restaurant on two separate occasions and have been consistently impressed with everything we've tried. The barbecue platter is incredibly delicious—fresh, flavorful, and meant to serve three people, but it's always a smart idea to take leftovers home. Marian took care of us during this visit, and she was fantastic, helping us choose the best options. She’s the best server we’ve ever had!"

"The food here was very good and would merit a repeat visit but it was the wait staff that really made our night. Even though it was the middle of the week we were greeted warmly and given the utmost of attention the entire night. Our waiter was extremelyprofessional and took the time to answer our questions regarding the menu as well as to make suggestions. Throughout our meal hewould check in regularly to make sure we had everything. The pleasant demeanor of all the staff was extremely refreshing inlight of the lack of service and professionalism I have experienced too often when dining out the last year or so. It's good toknow there are still restaurants that have well trained and professional staff as well as great food!"
