Matador Room - Miami Beach

Very beautiful decorated outdoor seating, high ceiling and elegant in door. The host was exceptionally welcoming and accommodating. Manager was graciously attentive. All our dishes were very delicious decorated. Sadly, on Wednesday February 23rdwas a salty day for the chef. Guacamole was too salty and unusually sour. Tuna tartare could burn your tongue with heavilysalted so was all the sauces for our dishes. Calamari was chewy and dry, not ate able. Our lobster was over cooked. To top that,our waitress brought us side dishes twenty minutes before entrees, coffees thirty minutes before desserts. When we asked, shesaid she brought out whatever the kitchen gave her. Clearly, the kitchen and wait staffs need communication coordinator. We havebeen a regular visiting Miami almost every other month and have been staying at the Edition since it first opened. We have ourmeals at Matador every visit, and to be fair, this was the first time we experienced an abnormal dinning experience at Matador.Still, we think Chef Jean-George should goes under cover once in awhile as this restaurant represents his name.

Highly recommend! The 7 course dinner is the way to go. We enjoyed each item and the portions are large (too much to eat all of it). Ask for a table by the pool. Our server was amazing!

The food and service at the Matador Room were outstanding. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. Matthew was extremely attentive and Dago was amazing as well! The Manager was warm and welcoming and available at all times. If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would. Can’t wait to return!!

Delicious meal with phenomenal service in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend.

Fantastic atmosphere and even better food. Walking up to the hostess stand we were very warmly greeted by the staff. They allowed us to view the outdoor seating before choosing a table. Our server was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Very full of suggestions as well as the history of the area and even gave us a little back story on Buenos Aires as well. We tried the palm heart salad, the grilled octopus, the mushrooms, the chorizo and ricotta pizza, and finished with their lava cake made by the chef who invented it. Every dish was absolutely phenomenal but the mushrooms and goat cheese stole the show 100%!
