"We wanted to love this place so much. Unfortunately, that just was not possible. Initially, our visit started off promising. We were greeted, had a very short wait, was seated, then greeted by our lovely server. We ordered drinks and the Butcher’s Board, and received those fairly quickly. My husband even asked for a recommendation on their scotch, and the bartenders choice did not disappoint. However, then things started progressing downhill. While the Butcher’s Board was good and of decent value quantity and quality wise, we did have to wait 20 or so minutes to order our main entrees after receiving it. During the time that we were awaiting our entrees, a very large and loud party was sat 5 feet from us. While I do not mind people out celebrating, I do mind extremely loud, continuous cackling. During this time our drinks sat empty for quite some as well. The next and biggest issue we had during our visit was the quality of our main meals. While my husband’s and son’s steaks were very good, the rest of our meal was not. I ordered the Amish chicken. It looked so promising, but was so burnt through the entire bottom, that I could hardly chew it, yet alone cut the skin to have a bite. The sides were also very disappointing. We ordered asparagus and it was disgustingly undercooked. Literally could not eat it. We ordered the whipped mashed potatoes and there was absolutely nothing “whipped” about them. They looked and tasted like the plain, hard, and crumbly inside of a regular baked potato. We also ordered the mac and cheese which looked and tasted exactly like the mac and cheese at Long Horn. All in all it was just a very disappointing experience. Especially for the price the meal. I have zero problem paying high prices on great food, but the quality was just not there for us at Brooklyn and The Butcher. It’s sad to say, but we will not be back there again."

"This is our favorite place in the world to travel and stay on vacation. We have been here many times but each time somehow seems to surpass the previous visit. (We think there might be some kind of join-the-W Hotel South Beach-cult-inducing ingredients in the fragrance that you breathe in when you arrive? We don't care, because we are avid members of any cult here! Okay, one might think we are biased because we already love it here. We are. But we still have our eyes wide open and have expressed our opinions on things that might have fallen short of our expectations and they listen and respond every time. The sheer expanse of the hotel, the lobby, the pool, the restaurants and bars is just mind blowing. Even when they are at capacity, they have a way of making us feel special. They take time to talk with us, get to know us, find out the things we like most and curate our stay with the utmost care and respect. This was our first visit back to South Beach in three years. There were several places we had been looking forward to because of past exceptional experiences. The only place that did not disappoint us was the W Hotel. Service has fallen across the board, across the world, for so many establishments due to staffing issues after the shutdowns. The W Hotel had even higher service standards with their teams and staffing for this visit. Our list of names that impressed us is even longer than the last time. (Big thank you's go out to Eric, and David (who is always there! at the front door, Lucey, Laura, Alex (both of them! , and Lucas in The Living Room. Rachel, Eddie, at the pool. La'Vander, Shawn, and the rest of the dancing beach team down at Sand. Sole, Andrew, and the other Insiders who made our visit perfect. George and Rick who hosted the cigar smokers event. The Style Team led by Andres just made the place sparkle! Ricky at RWSB was a welcome moment every time we interacted. Honestly, everyone we came in contact with was personable, caring, and helpful. The newly decorated rooms were quite peaceful. There is a beach-vibe happening with the colors and decor. Much cheerier than the previous modern/minimalist look that we also loved. They kept the iconic shell ceiling lamps that have an almost wind-chime effect when one walks by them. So calming. We are already planning our next visit. We will be watching for snippets of information and updates on Instagram. (We were told about some of the next updates and they will be quite fantastic! Thank you, everyone, at The W South Beach. We are genuinely big fans and appreciate every little thing you all do to make the place as close to perfect as it seems to be!"
