"Not far from the Theater District, Blue Seafood is worth the walk. It was a “find.” The Spinach Salads we had were tasty. The entrees, outstanding. The Salmon was perfectly cooked. My wife loved the pasta special, seafood and zucchini noodles over squid ink spaghetti with a sauce that had just the right amount of spice. If you are up for dessert, I recommend the Tres Leches or the Chocolate Souffle, which we both enjoyed. Our server, Mihaela provided us with draft beer recommendations and patiently answered our questions about the menu. We will be back!!"

"It was our first visit to Mad, and we were excited to try it out. The restaurant had a quirky vibe, and the bathroom was quite an experience. The food was good, but not outstanding. We tried the hamachi tostada, ginger rolls, tuna tartare, lichen tomas, ultimate croqueta, cochinillo iberico, branzino, and the saffron rice. However, given the price, the portion sizes were small. I wouldn't mind paying a higher price if the dishes were unforgettable. Overall, we had a wonderful time enjoying a meal with friends."

Fish Shrimp

"I tried ordering from Fish Shrimp twice through Grubhub, and both times were very disappointing. The first time, my order was confirmed, but I never received the food. The second time, I got a call from the delivery driver at 8 PM saying the restaurant was closed, even though Fish Shrimp's menu states they close at 10 PM. This kind of unprofessional behavior is unacceptable. If your hours have changed, please update them online and on Grubhub! There shouldn’t even be an option to order if you’re not open. Very poor service."

Iberico Tapas Y Vino

"Had the charcuterie, olives, meatballs, Brussels sprouts, potatoes bravas, lamb empanadas and potato leek soup. Everything was delicious... our only complaint was the Brussels sprouts weren’t crispy and had too much dressing on them. Service on the other hand was lackluster. It was our first time here and our waiter didn’t do a good job of explaining the menu, portions or how they would be brought out. We expected everything at once, but they kept waiting for us to finish what they brought before bringing the next plate. We ended up getting our final plates to go because we had been there for 2hours already. We’d go again as the food was great and the other waiters seemed to be more attentive than ours."

"A very cute grocery store with seats available inside. Their Iberico ham was very authentic. Tender and flavorful while not too salty, a definite healthy ham to have. Highly recommended if you have yet tried this type of ham. Other food was less impressive. The price is high, but consider their location this is understandable. A good spot to stop by for some small tapas for sure. Service was good and atmosphere very Spanish. Four star well deserved. They also have a wine store next door which I would like to check up next time. It looks great!"

"I should preface this by saying that I went on New Years Eve and restaurants can have offer special pre-fixed menus, or special seating arrangements that can effect the diners' experiences. This was not the case here. We ordered from the regular menu and there were tables available all night. And rather than go on and on, I'll offer this quick review: The food was incredible, so well-conceived, executed, and plated. The meal, food-wise only, was one of the best in all of Mexico during this trip of ours. That said, the service was atrocious. No lists for wine or food and a look of surprise that we wanted them after sitting without any attention for over ten minutes. The server was so in the weeds that I went to speak to the host. Tables all around us were upset. So, please, give them a chance but be wary of the service. Excellent food though."

El Pillao

"From the moment you step inside, El Pillao feels like a warm and newly opened restaurant. The dining room is elegantly adorned with tablecloths in the colors of the Spanish flag. Wood elements complement the atmosphere, evoking the spirit of the motherland, Spain. The extensive, comfortable, stylish, and modern bar truly lives up to its name, El Pillao Restaurant. Everything is precise, new, and spotless. There is a wide selection of wines and cavas to choose from. Dishes are served quickly and delight the palate. The tapas offer a variety of authentic Spanish flavors, with no fusion influences. The Galician-style octopus is perfectly seasoned with paprika from La Vera and cooked just right. I highly recommend the black rice; with every bite, you savor the subtle squid ink—a true taste of the sea. The txistorras perfectly complement each bite, and the croquettes, available in different varieties, enchant the taste buds with their genuine béchamel sauce—all exquisite. A bit of vermouth to cleanse the palate, and the bombón coffee—wow! What a delicious way to end this celebration of flavors! The Spanish chef, Alberto Roche, a young talent from the traditional yet modern culinary school of Alicante, Spain, pushes himself to uphold the essence of his training to achieve his most ambitious goal: to satisfy every guest who visits. This enriching experience is located in the Town Center of Miramar, FL—an area thirsty for these delights. Without a doubt, I wish them great success. Thank you for your hospitality.

"Sounds like a new owner with the same name with better food in the last 6 months or so. The new menu with more authentic Spanish cuisine was great and we look forward to coming back...great date/night out with the spouse and knowledgeable staff. I don’t usually write reviews...if you like Tapas...this is your place. Paella and the Sangria is especially authentic."

"It’s been a while since the last time I went to a restaurant, avoiding bad service or tasteless food. Cayo Esquivel is why I love traditional seafood specialized restaurants. Amazing service and a wide variety of dishes to please my adventurous family. I hope the owners know the quality of their business, and care to appreciate the excellency of their crew. Delicious!? Vegetarian options: Yeah! Go for it! Try everything! It's amazing how healthy and tasty their dishes are Parking: It' next to a mall, you'll find plenty of room for parking there, if you don' mind walking. Also, if the closest spots are occupied, it means people enjoy going there, in any case Vegetarian options Kid-friendliness: Assuming your kids aren’t picky, the may enjoy the entries and/or sharing a main dish with an adult. Otherwise, go for the simple, yet tasty offers in the kids’ menu? Wheelchair accessibility: I didn’t notice any barriers. Also, inside, the distribution is quite comfortable, but if you need special accommodations, ask the crew, they are remarkably nice and helpful?"

"We enjoyed the food but felt a bit duped by our waiter. We ordered the seafood paella amongst other many smaller plates) and the way he phrased how much the paella served was questionable. He told us that the paella could be served for about three people there was four of us) and since we had already eaten/ordered so many other dishes we thought that would be fine. We just wanted to try it! When it came out it was gigantic and we were like... this is severely underpriced about $34) but delicious. When we received the bill, we saw that he had charged us for 3 servings of the seafood paella $100). I cannot complain about the taste of the food but that was extremely misleading and left the night on a sour note. Will not return."

"the setting and the staff of tablao are excellent, the ambiente is welcoming and the service staff very attentive. eating is enough for gourmet, but only very well. nothing was wrong, but nothing was an oh, wow. the background music was unnecessary and too intrusive, why do restaurants not feel live music at all?"

"So the food was delicious! I got the Branzino and it was cooked to perfection. Service was very polite but not quick at all. We got there at 530pm for a 7pm showtime at Prudential Center. We had our drinks and apps by 5:45 but our entrees didn't come out until 6:30, and we ordered everything together knowing we had a tight deadline. I had the branzino and my companion had the porkchops. He said they were ok. Neither dish should have taken 45 minutes. They opened at 5pm I believe and there were 3 other tables in the dining room occupied besides ours, so they were not busy. They give free minestrone soup did I want that in 90 degree weather in the summer? No. Perhaps switch up what you provide based on season/ temperature. Would I go back? Yes. Would I go back if I were on a time schedule? No."

"Con: Service was extremely slow and not attentive at all on a Sunday evening. It wasn’t that busy but there was only one waiter and one busboy on the floor. Pro: We had black squid ink paella which was very well seasoned, flavorful and moist. I was very impressed with it! We also tried the pork chop with vegetable on the side . Pork chop could use more seasoning but was cooked to the right temperature as we requested. The vegetable was excellent!"

"Our server was amazing, the food was good, although the asparagus felt like it was out of a jar. Wine selection is incredible and our server pointed us to a great bottle of white, after a few descriptive words about what we were after. My only negative had to do with the atmosphere. We arrived for a special dinner and between the 6 drunken women screaming at one table, the kid watching videos with volume turned up to 10 on the other side and the therapy session taking place at third table (for all to hear), we had a hard time focusing on our meal. It is definitely a great restaurant and they were very gracious to all. Will definitely be back."
