    First time going and I really didn't know what to expect, our server approached us and gave us a very informative description of the menu and recommended us great appetizers and entrees. Every bite was just amazing, that Nutella pizza...AMAZING! Had outstanding service like never before I think his name was Stephen which reminded me and my friends of Mario Lopez! Total cutie! Anyways the place is great over all!

    We have a business luncheon every Tuesday and the food and service is A1A. Steven generally always gives us that extra touch service which makes it extra special.

    I want to first thank Santiago and Roly for making our experience one of a kind and truly passionate. The service and ambiance examples what you wish to have on a night out with your loved one. Love is blind however their interior design was created with impeccable taste.! As for the food I would love to especially congratulate the kitchen staff which is so professional and efficient. The food was cooked to specification and was produced very quickly there was hardly any wait time. We ordered the calamari sofrito and the caprese martini for our appetizers! As for our entrees we had the veal churrasco and salt crusted salmon, these are two I would recommend or at least beg to try the sweet plantain mash that is served with the veal! Thank you again to all who assured our experience was lovely!

    This is our first time at this place and it was great. The food was excellent and wine fantastic. Each entree comes with an appetizer of your choice which is great. I had "I can't believe it's not pasta" which was very good. The food was very tasteful as well which could be overwhelming at times but in general a great experience. Will definitely be returning.

    First off funny waiter! Food is tasty. The restaurant decor is interesting, there are positive and loving messages all over the restaurant(it's called love is blind after all). If your looking to pay $10 for coke and rum with more rum than coke this is your place. Loved the experience, however the restaurant some interesting policies. For instance in normal restaurants on your birthday waiters will sing happy birthday for you here however the owner does not allow the waiters to sing happy birthday odd... Second cents for every entrée ordered you get a free appetizer you are not allowed to share an entrée if you want to share you have to pay a $10 fee once again odd... However the restaurant experience was great and I give it a five

    My Steak came out kinda dry and with not much flavor. The potatoe wedges that came with the steak didn't have much taste either. Considering what they charge for it I was expecting better. The restaurant has an interesting overall theme and my waiter was nice. I'm indifferent if I'll come back but I'll probably order a less expensive entrée.

    Last night my friends and I had a very pleasant and surprising dining experience at Love is Blind. Josie, our server, was very pleasant and attentive, she recommended what turned out to be several very delicious plates that everyone in my group loved. The service was spectacular with a positive, professional and friendly attitude, accompanied with a smile. My friends and I will definitely go back to Love is Blind and we will definitely ask for Josie. Thank you. Great Job!

    My first experience here a few weeks ago was great....So I've heard good things about the brunch, and decided to try it out. I came with my husband and brother and sister inlaw. My appetizer, "three lil piggies" was a personal meat platter with goat cheese focaccia bread drizzled in extra virgin olive oil. YUM!! My entree was the Home Wrecker Sandwich. It was good but I personally prefer not to eat overly toasted bread. The other meals ordered that were throughly enjoyed were the chicken and waffles, steak and eggs, and their ham croquettes. On top of all that their .99 cent mimosas aren't all juice! It's actually champs with a splash of juice! Don't judge me "it's 5 o'clock somewhere!" Do yourself the favor and go to Love is Blind..... At least once in your life! Lol

    Love is Blind is such a beautiful restaurant. Have gone twice for Saturday & Sunday brunch. Amazing service, food and prices! Always greeted by friendly staff and manager. Can't beat $4 mimosas/ sangrias and everything on the brunch menu is delicious, especially their famous croquetas. Our server today was Manny, he was amazing!!! Couldn't ask for a better server, he made our experience that much better. Will definitely keep going back and ask for Manny! :)

    Staff was friendly and food was served fast. Only thing I enjoyed was the Oyster Bisque. I ordered the eggs benedict and ham croquettes. Definitely not the best ive had. The side of potatoes was served cold and didn't look fresh.

  • Conny R.

    This place is nice. At first I thought it was a bit pricey but the entree is not small and It comes with an appetizer so not bad. As an appetizer we had the spring rolls and croquettes which were ok. I've had better but I still ate them. I will probably try another appetizer next time. Today we went for brunch and I enjoyed my chicken and waffles very much. The waffles were soft and tasty, the chicken was perfectly crispy and the bacon was good. I loved our waiter! He was very friendly, informative and always on top of cleaning out our table to make room for everything. He kept our coffee cups full and was very pleasant. The restaurant itself is very clean and chic.

    I really like coming here for lunch. It has a wonderful ambiance and the servers are always smiling. The food does not take long and has yet to disappoint me. The waiters are always very attentive but not to the point of annoying. If there is a dirty plate on your table you can make sure it won't stay there more than a few seconds.

    Let's just start this by saying I studied Hospitality Management and I have been a server for years, now as many of you may think, this makes me picky, but no it actually makes me a more patient and understanding guest, as I know and have experienced things going wrong. With that said the only reason they get 2 stars is for their very nice staff (with the exception of 1). My in laws arrived at around 8, maybe a bit before, and were quoted a 45 minute wait, it's a Saturday in the gables and with no reservation I found it beyond reasonable. I arrived and my bf and our daughter did too shortly after. We sat in the bar lounge, which was quite crowded, as to be expected at happy hour. The cocktail l waitress was nice at first, took our order, got drinks and ordered our food. It was loud and my father in law ordered the calamari. When it arrived, we received two portions. I didn't say anything as I did not order and my father in law didn't either as he thought it was a happy hour special or something . When the waitress checks on us, she asks if we ordered two, he says no just one, and she replies with a sarcastic smile and says, and you didn't tell them anythjng ? Let's stop here, I was a waitress, I've had a million food runners make a mistake and a million people eat it, literally. And all I say is congrats on your good fortune ! No you don't charge it and you definitely don't blame the guest. Is it annoying? Yes. Can you deal? Yes. And then later on we also received a remark along the lines of, oh are you hungry? Like ONE fried calamari hungry? Not cool. After visiting the hostess a total of 7 times and waiting an hour and a half to an hour and forty five minutes, my 6 foot 5 large father in law was annoyed, grumpy and starving. This military drill Sargeant was not pleased. We were offered a patio table which he said no to and then we waited some more for another table to get up. Let me point that all the visits to the host stand were not bad, she explained the table she had planned for our party and that they had paid and were just waiting to get up, however they talked forever. The hostess was also about 40 minutes behind on the people with reservations, so no surprise we waited that long. I wish I could say it was worth the wait, but just as its sister restaurants, Dolores but you can call me Lolita and Crazy About You have in the past, it was a bland disappointment. They're menu is divided into 4 price points and every entree includes and appetizer, we tried the Huevos Rotos, spring rolls, cesar salad, short rib, churrasco and chicken and waffles. Although I usually go into detail with food, all dishes tasted the same, BLAND. I don't believe the chef believed in salt, just a pretty presentation . Throughout the meal a lot of sorry for the waits and is everything ok happened, as expected. We were offered a round of drinks , I ordered a Malbec by the glass which tasted like a spicy Zinfandel, not bad but not a Malbec. Dessert was a dulce the leche flan, good but boring and overly sweet. We sang happy birthday and then were told the whole meal was comped. This is what gave them the 2 stars, at least they recognized the disaster of a night, considering the chicken tenders and waffles are better at IHOP, you can bet I'll never dine there or any of their sister restaurants again. I truly appreciate the level of service and attention and effort made but unfortunately in all aspects came up short. They taught me that bad service cannot save good food, but excellent service can save ok food, after this experience I don't believe either to be true. Bad anything is bad anything, point period blank. I wish them well, but don't waste the money.

    Blind or not, you will fall in love with this restaurant from the moment you walk in. The decoration is chic and romantic, with candelabras, votive candles, statues, and random musings flowing throughout the restaurant. This is a perfect spot for any special celebration, from a romantic anniversary dinner to a girl's night out dinner. I happen to be celebrating my 9th wedding anniversary. We brought our own bottle of wine for a minimal corkage fee of $16.. The waiter decanted it for us right away and brought us parmesan bread sticks as we studied the menu. When we told him we were celebrating an anniversary, he ran to the bar and got us 2 glasses of champagne on the house! Talk about going out of your way. Our waiter was stellar throughout the night. As for the menu, it is very straightforward. They basically have 4 different price point prix fix menus, that each comes with an appetizer. This is a tremendous deal for this type of restaurant, especially in swanky Coral Gables. For starters we had the croquettes and the cheese calzone. The croquettes were scrumptious. I could have easily ordered another plate. The calzone was also very delicious filled with gooey brie, mozzarella and goat chesses and a side of raspberry dipping sauce. Since I was I put into a meat induced coma just a few days earlier at an Elite event, I decided to go with the Seared Tuna as my main entrée. It was the perfect size and was very well plated. It also tasted very good, not fishy at all. My husband went with the salmon with zucchini linguini. It was a very unique plate and he loved it, as well. We ended our meal with a dulce leche flan that was creamy and super flavorful. The waiter also decorated the plate, which made for a great photo opp! I simply love this place..why not 5 stars? Well, this is currently a hot spot in the MIA. You can only imagine how packed it was for a Saturday night. Although we had a reservation, we were squeezed into a small table between 2 parties. On one side it was a Real Housewives of Miami junior version audition, and on the other side 2 middle aged drunk couples ..We made the best of it of course because the food and service was excellent. It was also entertaining listening to the drunk couples making fun of the RHOMJrs..we bonded a bit over it. Will see you again soon Love is Blind!

    Affordable, delicious and romantic (even though I went with a friend.) I would definitely recommend for a date as well. The fish tacos were awesome. Manny was a knowledgeable and witty server who made our experience so lovely, ask to sit with him when you go in! I will definitely be back soon

    There are few moments that I feel the need to write a review and this is one of them! My food was delicious. The ambiance of the place is perfect for a nice dinner and a great time with friends! My waiter, Ashley, was by far the best part! So refreshing to get treated the right way!

    This my first time here, Good atmosphere, nice Music and comfortable setting. I was served by a guy who doesn't want me to disclose his name. He was the only black guy there lol. He was amicable and was knowledgable about the menu. I had brunch and my girlfriend had churrasco both were really good.

  • Monica C.

    I loved this place. It's a shame that I tried it the day before a dinner meeting at its sister restaurant Dolores Lolita. I'll tell you why... The menus are identical. That being said the food is equally as good and decently priced. The decor was cute. I loved the idea of dropping your cell phone into the box and promising we wouldn't look at them while there. I was impressed the candles were real and the tiny lights you normally get at restaurants. However, when dining with a curious 5 year old those candles could be hazardous. Our waiter was nice and turned ours off quickly. The service was awesome. Our waiter was nice and fun but not overwhelming. He had great suggestions and everything came right on time. Overall it was a great experience. Honestly given the choice I would rather go to love is blind over Dolores Lolita. The restaurant is better, the service is better and the parking options are better.

    Just had a very unpleasant experience here, as the hostess staff was very rude. There were plenty of empty tables right by the entrance yet she took us to the back and wanted to sit us at a table right next to a party of screaming girls. When we nicely asked to be seated elsewhere she said the other tables were for guests who had reserved. When we said then we would leave, she said ok, very matter of fact like. As we walked out I said to her, you mean to tell me all these countless tables are all reserved? She said well I guess you can sit on that one. Unbelievable! This restaurant needs to get their act together. I certainly won't recommend it. Too many nice places in the neighborhood.

    We decided to visit for Brunch. The food was great! We tried for appetizers, Charcuterie... Three Little Pigs, Serrano Ham Croquettes, Chorizo and for our meals we had Potato Frittata and Grilled Short Rib Benedict. Everything we had was delicious. For drinks we tried a Mimosa and a red Sangria, and both were excellent. There was a great ambiance. All staff we encountered {Hostess, Waiter and management} were friendly and attentive our needs. I would recommend this restaurant and definitely visit again.

    So, despite living here for almost two years, I had yet to go to one of the Passion Group restaurants before. I know, I know. I think it had something to do with the names of the restaurants. For some reason, they were off-putting. Gimmicky? I'm not quite sure. But one Friday night, work found me down in the Gables and I was hungry. As luck would have it, one of my college roommates lives in the Gables and he didn't have anything to do that night... so, dinner it was. Ignoring the name (and candlelit seating &, admittedly, fetching Mediterranean decor), we made our way to Love Is Blind and settled in for a night of catching up. He'd been to this family of restaurants before so he knew the deal. As mentioned above, I had not... so when I got a glimpse at the app with entree and different price point dinners, I was all 'whhhaaa??' I love me a surprise good deal. Adding to my 'Price Is Right' ecstasy, I found the wine prices to be extremely reasonable and you know what that means... poppin' bottles!* Keep the cab coming! Studiously pouring over the menu, I was ready to do the thing when our waitress, Charisel, came by. Charisel, by the way, was a fantastic waitress. In a city where bad service is (unfortunately) the norm, I will always do my level best to call out the good ones. Charisel is a good one. Come here and ask to be in her section. She was helpful when it came to choosing what to eat and I settled on two winners. For my app, I went with the calamari sofrito. The dish was overflowing with calamari, delicious seasoning, veggies, and dipping sauce. I could have been satisfied with only this (and the House Cab). For my entree, I decided (with the help of Charisel) on the duck pizza. It came with pineapple, spinach and bbq sauce. At first glance, that sounds like an unappetizing combo. You would be mistaken. It was magically delicious. The price for my solid food? $14.99. Granted, I came here before the menu change and (slight) price hike but, seriously. $14.99. Love isn't blind. Love is a competitively-priced menu with flowing bottles of wine. *Wait, that's not how you use the phrase?

    This restaurant is awesome!!! The interior is absolutely beautiful, the music is wonderful at a perfect volume. The food is very scrumptious. I loved the Asian Spring Rolls. We also had the ham croquette as well and they were nothing I've ever had. On point. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Short rib and churasco were absolutely delicious.

  • K D.

    Ambiance is a big thing for me. This place kills it. The perfect spot for happy hour with friends. It's not too loud but just crowded enough to make you feel comfortable. On fridays, their happy hour is a great and the vibe is fun.

    I'm in awe! I went to my friend's daughter's baby shower yesterday and wow! The decorations were phenomenal. the food was magical. the flan was a little too rich but overall i was pleased and WILL BE BACK! I recommend sitting in "ashlieh from atlanta's" section as she runs circles around the boys and keeps the mimosas flowing! Love is blind rocks!

    We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Even my husband who doesn't notice much commented on the great ambiance. We loved the decor and the food was great as was the service. I look forward to going back. A nice romantic place to take that special someone.

    Such a great place! The decoration and atmosphere is amazing, romantic and cozy. There are candles everywhere. I haven't tried their food yet but drinks are good and they have happy hour on Saturday night!! Totally recommended

  • Juan A.

    Went for an early Valentine's Date and we will definitely be back. Made reservations on Open Table so we were seated right away. I recommend you do that bc the place was packed and we went for a late dinner at 10pm. Appetizers are included with the meal at "no extra" charge. The entrees are in the mid $20 range so I see the appetizer in that price but it's a nice "idea" anyway. The food was awesome. Dessert was to die for: a Nutella pizza. My wife and I are always finding "our new spot" but we never go back. Not this time. It was elegant yet not pretentious. Great food at a decent price. For the price of Cheesecake Factory you can have a one of a kind meal.

    I actually hope Love is NOT Blind in this case because the decor was beautiful and it would be a shame not to be able to see it. A romantic renaissance feel with sculptures, wood, iron, and dripping candles galore, this place definately knows how to set the scene. I have been to Crazy About You, one of their other 2 miami restaurants, and very much enjoy it. The concept of a three-price-tier dinner is great too. I had the calamari appetizer, which was a little heavy handed on the breading but seasoned nicely. And for my main course I had the filet mignon atop potato fingers with peppers and onions. My date had the seabass with a delicious sauce. Both dishes were very good and nicely portioned. The service was also attentive and friendly. I would go back, and next time im looking forward to trying the bar out.

  • Jesse D.

    I was treated with such arrogance by the assistant manager upon arrival for my best friends 40th birthday, that I could not enjoy this place after the confrontation. She was not delicate or apologetic and I was not about to swallow her attitude. I will say the food was good (not great) , and our waitress was very nice. My last slap on the face was seeing the assistant manager on the way out, and after spending 400$ she did not say good bye or thank you. I cannot recommend a place with this kind of management.

    The Passion Restaurant Group has won my heart completely. Love Is Blind is by far my favorite one out of its restaurants (Dolores But You CAn Call Me Lolita and Crazy About You are still good though). Its decoration is beautiful, vintage, and romantic - Lots and lots of candles and they are REAL candles. This place is perfect for couples, family, and girlfriends/boyfriends. I am not so sure about bros hanging out here though. Besides being beautiful, you can find humor in this restaurant. What got my attention was the empty can on every single table at the restaurant - this is where everyone at the table puts their phones in so that people can actually enjoy their time with whomever they came with instead of staring at their phones. It got me chuckled and next time I come here with my girlfriends, I am planning on making whoever picks up the phone from the can pays the tab. My boyfriend and I sat at a quiet small table. The menu is broken down into three different set entrees at different prices ($17.99, $20.99, and $24.99) which all include an appetizer. I got the Calamari Sofrito and the Braised Steak Brasatto. The Calamari was very good but its portion is a bit much for one person. I would recommend sharing with someone. The Braised Steak Brasatto was amazing!!!! Creamy stew with chickpeas.. I am still dreaming about this entree. I didn't finish my meal because I had to get their signature dessert called the American Dream Dessert. Given a scoop of ice cream, brownies, chocolate syrup, cocoa powder, whip cream, and strawberries, you make your own art dessert on a plate. They also give you a piece of paper where you write down your dreams and you put the paper in a big vodka bottle and if you get selected later, you get a free dinner! My boyfriend and I had a great time at the restaurant. We fell in love with its beautiful, unique, and fun atmosphere. I can't wait to bring my girlfriends to this restaurant and make some funny looking dessert. Oh, also their house wine bottle only costs $14! Our server was very attentive and fun to talk to. We got our food and check pretty quick. I was also very impressed by a manager at the restaurant because he was working as much or harder than waiters there. Our bill came down to around $66.00 - a bottle of wine, two entrees (and appetizers), and a dessert. It was perfect.

    Giving 1 star because it's the only choice. Party of 11 girls and we and we were the only people in the restaurant. Service awful... Food took forever to get borderline ridiculous. Come for happy hour... That's it. I returned my food three times and it was simple fajitas. HORRIBLE....leaving at 3pm without eating and got here at noon.

    While ambiance is trendy and service was Great food was meh. The 15.00 bottle of house wine was worth it but the food was no where near the level of price. This restaurant puts food as third important and it shows.

    Even after reading the bad reviews, I still went to check this place out as I was told it was similar to Crazy about you! I have to say i loved the environment and the food was delicious, the croquettes are my favorite. Perfect place for a romantic date with your love. The service was excellent

    With plenty of likes and recommended by friends, Love is blind was a surprise at first and then regular dinner afterwards. Had a few ups and downs, but mostly ups! The place is decorated in a very modern, high-end style, which I can easily see why women love this place. Very much a like a sex and the city scene with all the modern house wives having their champagnes and loud chatters. Unfortunately, We sat next to one of those tables and they were LOUD. The restaurant's acoustics are terrible. Don't count on a quite dinner here unless requested. The service is top notch. The manager also walks around asking "how's everything?" once or twice, very friendly. The music in the background is up beat deep house. Just like "Dolores, but you can call me Lolita", which btw, Love is Blind is the 3rd of it's chain. The food, wasn't amazing. Even the "Best Croquettes you'll ever have." are not the best I ever had. The pizza Margarita and the Lolita's Chicken weren't nothing wow. A little dissapointing for such High-end comfort. So, nothing wow off the menu so far. The dessert looked like fun though. We didn't order it but the loud table next to us had Ice Cream sundae, which you make yourself on the table. Waitress brings the ingredients; chocolate syrup, ice cream, toppings, etc. all for you to serve however you like it. Don't know how it tasted, but looked like fun. The price wasn't bad at all. Something I didn't expected especially for being right behind "The Collection" Car dealer ship in Coral Gables. Worth the money? Yes! Cheapest = $45 - dinner for 2 including tax and tip! I give it 5 out of 5

  • Mimi A.

    This is actually my first bad review ever.. When we walked in the hostess didn't want to sit us because we were missing two people from our party of 6. I have worked in restaurants for 15 years and the normal procedure is to wait for half the party to arrive before being seated. So we sat at the bar to get some drinks while we waited. The bartender took so long to greet us and get our drinks that my 1 hour parking expired by the time we got our drinks. I literally got the text to add more money to the meter.. We finally got to our table and we didn't even get a hello or anything from our server. I don't think I heard his voice until he asked if we wanted dessert. The drinks we terrible. One of our friends had a bug in his mimosa and when our server took it to the bar to return it the bartender poured out half of the mimosa and added more oj.. I know this because we were sitting at clear view of service bar. So he basically got a full glass of oj.. The food wasn't all that. The we got a Nutella pizza for dessert: how can you mess up Nutella? Idk, but they did with their super soggy chewy pizza that I couldn't even bite into. The poor manager was running around aimlessly. Like if they just found a random person, put him in a restaurant and said "ok, go manage.. Good luck". This was the worst experience ever. I will definitely never go back.. Get it together love is blind, get it together.

    Always on the hunt for a new brunch spot I decided to try this place mostly because of the 0.99 mimosas. I figured if the food is bad you could always just order another mimosa, its a win win. However I was pleasantly surprised. We started off with the ham croquettes which were supposed to be the best I've ever tasted (so says the menu) but although quite yummy they were not the best I've ever had. Now on to the entrees I decided to go with the Chicken and Waffles and my friend went with the grilled short rib benedict. This being my first time trying chicken and waffles I was worried that I would not like the combo but that was not the case at all. I went light on the syrup which I think made the difference. My friend left her plate nice and clean so I'd say it's a thumbs up from her. Although we were pretty full we decided to try the nutella pizza for dessert which was absolutely magical. I'll be back soon to try their dinner menu.

    Beautiful environment and interior design it is obvious that the designers know what they are doing... Which brings is to the downright bad food.. For brunch I had the the short rib Benedict , the meat itself seemed to be a pretty poor quality and the brazing sauce was very sweet and really clashed with the hollandaise sauce. The patatas bravas we just wet tomato sauce soaked potatoes and not with the second bite.. The bright point being the Caesar salad was pretty good. My wife's steak and eggs were pretty bad too at least as far as the steak was concerned..

    My boyfriend and I went to Love Is Blind the day before Valentines Day. I was very impressed with the decor and ambiance. The service was was also really great. My only complaint, is that the food was just okay. The croquettes that everyone raves about didn't have much flavor, and the rest of the meal wasn't that amazing. I guess I was expecting a bit more as far as flavor. I live walking distance to Love Is Blind and I plan to go back and try it again. I hope I can write a better review next time.

    Love is Blind is another great concept from the Dolores/Lolita restaurant group. If you've been to any one of their restaurants you know what your getting. What i like about Love is Blind is the amazing decor and feel you have when you walk into the restaurant. Only con for me was the ladies room is small and is missing a full length mirror. The food was good, nothing spectacular. I do think that they need to add more to their desert menu. The pricing makes it great because you're not spending an arm and a leg but you get the same service and feel as if you were. ehhh....i guess I would come back

    If you want to be lied to and disrespected, this is the restaurant for you! If you don't want to read the below review just PLEASE KNOW THAT I WOULD RATHER BURN MY MOMEY THAN SPEND IT HERE. this restaurant and it's restaurant group ( they also own Dolores and crazy about you in Brickell) deserve zero respect. showed up a few minutes after 2PM for our 2 o'clock reservation and was told We would have to wait until the table was ready. The restaurant was busy but certainly not packed. We were seated at 2:25 (25 minutes late, strike one). We asked the hostess if there were 99 cent mimosas (special posted on their Facebook) and she said yes. When we asked her if brunch was good she told us she had never tried any of the food. Really?? When our waiter finally arrived to our table after we had been seated for 10 minutes, we told him we all wanted mimosas. In fact, we said we would be wanting a round about every 10 minutes. He said that was no problem and he'd be back. He showed up 10 minutes later asking if we wanted the good or bad news first. He let us know that not only did the restaurant run out of orange juice and champagne but that this would also be our last (although it was our first) mimosa. But you couldn't call it a mimosa considering he brought pineapple juice with it. Next, he proceeds to lie (and not for the first time) that we should consider ourselves lucky because it was Moët champagne. It wasn't. It was cheap champagne, because I passed on the nasty pineapple juice. After we told him that's why we came, we asked if they could cut us some sort of deal. (I.e $0.99 sangria which was priced the same as the mimosas not on special). Our waiter said he would check with the manager and be back. I wish I was joking when I say...he never came back. Ever. We asked for a manager. And no one showed up. Ever. We then got to talking with the table next to us that looked like they were drinking pineapple sangria (and not real sangria) and they said that they cut off their mimosas as well. Except, they had let them know they ran out...BEFORE we sat down and BEFORE they agreed to keep the rounds coming every 10 minutes or so. Our waiter avoided us like the plague. He purposely deceived us, lied and then instead of doing the right thing, ignored us. By the way, his name started with a D and he was Colombian. Avoid him. He is a liar. What did we do? We left $6.00 for 4 $0.99 fake Moët champagne mimosas with pineapple juice and walked out. No one said anything. I would rather burn my money than eat at this restaurant. This is a classless place. Everyone in the restaurant was complaining and unhappy. I wish I could give zero stars.

    Make sure you pay cash!!! Second time that this place charges my credit card multiple times for the same meal. When I went to ask for a refund they seemed annoyed that I was making a big deal about being charged 3x for my meal. Said that they would refund my money within 3-5 business days. I'll never be back

    My 3rd time at Love is Blind. I made a last minute reservation because my newlywed niece and her husband were stranded in Miami from the hurricane in Antigua. I chose this restaurant because it is so romantic with all the candles and atmosphere. The waiter stated them with a glass of champagne, along with our drinks. Our appetizers were delicious. The croquettes, were amazing. As was the oyster soup. My new nephew had the charcuterie and loved it. The tuna tartar was delicious. We loved the restaurant and will be back very soon.

    I had a great experience at this restaurant. My boyfriend and I went and we were kindly greeted by our server, Manny. He was very delightful and humorous. My boyfriend ordered the pot roast which was absolutely delicious. Cooked to perfection. I ordered the ribs and those were also delicious. But definitely the highlight of this experience was the staff being extremely welcoming, polite and generous. We had two gift cards and unfortunately only one ended up working. Cesar, one of the managers, was kind enough to remove a meal from our bill in order to accommodate and help us out, which was totally unexpected and extremely nice of him. Cesar was mostly concerned about us having a great experience, than it being tainted by a faulty gift card. Which was purely generous of him to do and showed us that he cared more about the customers well being than money in their pocket. I also loved the environment. Crazy about you and Dolores but you can call me Lolita, are very tight and congested. Love is blind, on the other hand is very spacious and has a more romantic/quiet atmosphere which I personally enjoy more. I would recommend this place to anyone who would wanna have a nice time out, whether it's with your friends, significant other or family. Small act of kindness goes a long way...

    Wow, what a delight! The amazing ambience sets the stage for the wonderful service and unique, fantastic food that follows. Camilo was a most-attentive server, very kind, fun, and not shy to steer me back on track when I went to order a Caesar salad for my (included) appetizer to accompany my Zucchini Linguine. He suggested I try something more unique to the restaurant, and he was right; the Spinach Salad with Strawberries and Queso Fresco was fantastic. The true miracle here is how reasonable the prices are. $22 for my two courses of incredibly well-prepared food with gourmet ingredients, including beautiful focaccia to start, and $5 for a generous glass of wine. A true find. I tried to book again for Friday night and Saturday night, but both nights are completely booked. Plan ahead for this gem.

    I came with with a group of my closest girlfriends and had a great time! This restaurant has the same owners of "Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita" in Brickell. The decor feels very hipster and romantic with a side of eclectic trinkets. You will be surrounded by different types of lamps and lights that add lots of character. Plus there are really coll and romantic quotes written all over the walls to add a touch of uniqueness. Plus there is really good music playing in the background to give it a young ambiance. Besides "the look".... I was impressed by the menu selection. I found it hard to narrow down my choice because it all seemed so yummy. You would have your typical sliders, ect... , but it will have kobe beef instead. YUM! I had "I Can't Believe It's Not Pasta," which is made out of Zucchini instead of pasta. This was to die for! All the cheese and mixed in with the "GREY GOOSE" infused pink vodka sauce was mind blowing. I could not believe that I was actually eating zucchini and not pasta. The name of this dish could not be anymore perfect.

    The location is hidden from the main street so if you don't pass by the area you would never see this place. It's just a few steps away from Ponce de Leon on the way to the Merrick Park Mall. After a few months of wanting to try the place, my husband and I finally went for lunch today. Service was excellent. The food was good and the price was very reasonable considering the high end atmosphere. $10 - $15 for everything on the lunch menu. You get a free appetizer with any lunch item you order. I didn't know it's the same owner as " Dolores but you can call me Lolita". We will definitley be returning soon!

    Absolutely love this place! Was introduced to it by a co worker that worked around the corner from it and I must say it really is a great spot to unwind after work. The staff is great and so is the food. Especially the croquettes. Yum!!

  • Marisol S.

    The attention to detail, quality service and the humorous details was amazing. I was able to try the caprese salad, which served up to 3 individuals and had an amazing not overpowering vinaigrette. The ham crogquettes were freshly cooked, and tasted devine, as the bechemel sauce was not too rich and extremly savory. The veal churrasco was tender, cooked to perfection, and very savory. You do not often see a veal churrasco as an option. I could have done without the moros, as they were bland and very dry. Felt like the rice had been sitting out for a while or days. The fufu was extremely delicious, but I would add more garlic to it. :) My salmon was amazing. I am not one to enjoy that overly fishy taste, but that was NOT at all the case here. It came in a lemony sauce with potatoes au gratin. We finished up the evening with the nutella pizza, which was a bit over done for my taste. All in all, we (9 of us) had an amazing experience, and I am definitely looking forward to going back!

    Came here with a few friends for brunch and had a great time. Sat outside and was kept cool with mimosas and the nonstop fan action. Had the chicken and waffles and croquetas and both dishes were awesome! Service was great and staff was very friendly and accommodating. Will def be on our brunch radar from now on!

    Love is blind is the perfect date night restaurant! Our server Aleta was so nice and helpful. The service was wonderful everyone was attentive and pleasant. The "I can't believe it's not pasta" with salmon was so delicious. The cappuccino flan and the dulce de leche flan were amazing. The decor and ambiance was romantic. I would definitely go back!!

    Home run! Location is fantastic, gorgeous decor, incredible happy hour specials ($5 Moët) &&&& the food is superb. The best croquetas in town.

    Last minute Valentine's dinner. We had no reservation so we had to sit in their patio. We were a bit upset since we wanted to sit inside but our server totally change the mood and made our dining experience something else. Ashleigh from Atlanta was Beyond amazing! She made a difference on our dining experience. Will definitely come back and request for her!!

  • Lola D.

    Im giving them only three ... One cause of ambience ... Two cause of decor .... And three cause of the chef!!! But u stopped there cause of service, not that i didnt like my server ... But i guess she never got the memo that theres was a protocol to follow in order to make costumer to feel like its was worth the money!!! Great place ... But my server mistakes kept adding up! And honestly with such a great place i expected the service to be on point ! And she was closer to mediocre than to ok! Please by all means just a little more professionalism from my server could have gone a long way!!

    Love this restaurant. Decor is unique, food's very good, and the service is excellent! Their ham croquettes are truly out of this world. Pretty much everything on the menu is good. We've had great servers every single time we went, but if you want an unforgettable experience, ask for Manny. He is on top of his game.

  • Kirby B.

    I had a reservation three weeks in advance, I got there and waited over an hour for a seat. Then we waited forever for the waitress, ordered, and then they brought out one of the meals completely wrong so then my husband had to wait even MORE. She even acknowledged her service was not up to par at the end of the meal. The meal itself was good, appetizers were good, but the wait times and customer service were not so great at all. We didn't even want to order dessert so we wouldn't wait even longer, and it was my birthday. Dessert is the whole point of a bday dinner. Never again... The hostesses telling my husband and I that it would be 5 more minutes at fifteen minute intervals. What's the point of making a reservation if I'm going to wait just as long? I used to be a hostess many years ago and if you're expecting a party and this time, and they're on time, there's no excuse to have them wait more than maybe 10 minutes. None. You should've been prepared for that table, period.

    Love is Blind was recommended to me by a few friends. All their highlights were on the money. I celebrated my daughter's 16th Birthday dinner in the "Wine Room". for a party of 10. Laura, Erwin and Anthony were incredibly accommodating and on point with every request and service. I appreciated the precise follow up from the "event's team" with the contract and it's execution. Excellent price point per person chosen at $29.00 pp included the famous croquettes, calamari, Cesar salad, braised beef (so tender), half-chicken and bacon mashed potatoes.The fickle teenagers left the plates clean! We brought our own cake which was handled perfectly by the staff. The decor and ambiance was second to none. I will be back for a romantic dinner and/or hot happy hour scene. Happy to recommend!

    I went to Love is Blind to taste a new menu from Chef Morisi. Being a fan of the Passion Group (having previously dined at LIB's sister restaurant Dolores, But You Can Call Me Lolita) and already having Crazy About You and Love Is Blind on my radar, I was excited to see what the romantically named restaurant was all about.When I walked inside, I was floored. Every detail within the restaurant had me completely enamored. The food wasn't served in the dining area as it was a special tasting but that didn't take away the fun for couples and singles alike flair it brought with it. A definite fan!

    Awesome atmosphere. Well trained, happy and service oriented staff. Best croquetas this side of Madrid!! Some healthy choices. The fish selection was very good and both dishes we tried were 4 star!! Wine list is varied and excellent with some well thought out choices. Great for a date or for groups. Cool vibe. I don't love their Lolita location so wasn't expecting to be wowed here but they have elevated their game at this place. Worth a trip.

    This place is great. I came here for the first time this past weekend for brunch. The restaurant has a great ambiance and fun décor with interesting little signs and sayings cleverly posted (e.g. they have a little box on each table with a label encouraging you to place your cell phone in the box for "a more enjoyable dinner, an improvement in your relationship, and definitely a better gastronomic experience"). The brunch menu was a nice mix of interesting items and was a pretty good value. I had the short ribs benedict and my friend had the breakfast calzone. Both were excellent, and you can't beat $.99 mimosas! To top it off, our waiter was awesome...I wish I could remember his name, but he was really great... really funny, friendly and attentive. I actually commented that I want him to be my waiter at EVERY restaurant I go to! I'm definitely bringing my husband back to try dinner one evening.

    If I had to describe the food at Love is Blind in one word, it'd be unremarkable. I ordered the oyster bisque as an appetizer and it was good. For the main course I had their braised steak brassato which was under seasoned all around. The fried egg on top was over cooked making it not so sunny or runny. The service was slow, my boyfriend and I waited 15 mins for the check to arrive. For the same price point, I rather go to it's sister restaurant, Dolores Lolita and enjoy their great outdoor seating.

  • Maria K.

    This is definitely my favorite of the 3 Passion Group Restaurants in Miami (Crazy About You and Dolores/Lolita's being the the other 2). My boyfriend took me here on Thursday night for a pre-Valentine's celebration. The ambiance was great, but the service was even better. We sat at the bar for about 15 minutes as we waited for a table and Cecy, one of the bartenders, made the wait so much fun! She was extremely friendly and made some amazing drinks! Once seated, our server, Ervin, was extremely knowledgable about the menu and super pleasant and nice. All of his recommendations were awesome. When we come back for drinks or for the delicious zucchini pasta and croquettes, we will definitely have a drink with Cecy and ask to be seated with Ervin. Thanks for a great night, Passion group!

    I truly love this place. My first time there with my boyfriend and it was a good experience. I made reservations online and got there 3 min late, and we were taken to our table within 2 min. Our server was Tatiana she was very on point, took really good care of us and took the time to go over the menu and explain everything; she was very patient. I had the (I can't believe is not pasta) and it was zucchini topped With salmon and grey goose vodka cream. It was amazing, just the right portion. My boyfriend on the other hand, had the (brick oven half roasted chicken) it was just the chicken and mashed potatoes. He didn't really like his food it just wasn't his taste. That being said, right before we even order, Tatiana mention if we didn't like what we got she could take it back and we could order something else but my bf didn't want to, so we didn't say anything until the end. Tatiana, was very nice about it and asked him if he wanted something else, but he said no; so, she told us she wouldn't charge us for his meal which was very nice. Later on the manager stopped by to ask us how was everything. And he asked if there was something they could do to improve, but honestly, No!!. I love the restaurant and the service was pretty great. Will most definitely come back. I almost forgot, the restaurant has very romantic and nice quotes around the ceiling. It is a very romantic restaurant but it is a bit crowded and noisy so I suggest if you're going on a first date, you try to sit outside. It is much quieter and romantic.

    This was terrible from the get go. A 10 people party had reservation at 1015 AM for brunch. They did not seat us until 11:00 AM. After we sat down the manager recommended us to have large plate of eggs and another plate of bacon for sharing as a meal instead of the regular menu. Of course we decided against that and got confronted by saying that they will do it this time but not in the future because they had a larger party to attend. What? So I said to myself, service sucks however, the food was going to be awesome. Boy was I wrong! I got the triple decker with white bread, asked if it was white bread instead of sour and was lied to affirming it was sour bread. Another plate was the Benedict eggs with short ribs: very disappointing at best. In short go to any other brunch place.

    Love is Blind has one of the coolest decors I've ever seen. the ambiance is nice and upbeat, kind of loud but in a good way. My fiancé and I went on a Friday night and the restaurant was super packed!!! The hostess told us it would be about a 35-45 min wait so we decided to grab a drink at the bar. Luckily we were able to find two seats. The bar was a little unorganized and the bartenders were running back and fourth instead of having 2 bartenders serving each side which made it difficult to order a drink. We ordered the house bottle of wine which was $15 for a bottle---not bad for the price! The table was taking longer than expected so we ordered some ham croquettes to start. They were delicious! After about an hour our table was ready. Our server Lexi was great, and recommended some awesome dishes. We ended up going with the juevos rotos and calamari sofrito to start. Both were amazing and light. For our main course we had the roasted chicken with bacon mashed and the I cannot believe its not pasta with zucchini and salmon. The portion of the roasted chicken was definitely big enough to share but I didn't mind going home with left overs. We didn't have dessert but will definitely be back. Amazing food for a great price!

  • Brenda R.

    Place boasted they had the best croquettes and I was tempted to try. I have had a lot of croquettes in my food adventures. Decor was very cool and trendy. There are sayings on the walls and weird lighting fixtures. Started by sitting at the bar where they serve you popcorn which is actually delicious. There happy hour was $5 wine glasses and then a "beat the clock" type deal on champagne. I opted for the wine because I was driving however the champagne happy hour was extremely tempting. Ordered the croquettes which I can vouch are by far one of the best I have ever had. Absolutely delicious - the right amount of crunch to the outside and right amount of creaminess and flavor on the inside. For dinner I had the oyster bisque soup and gnocchi pesto with mushrooms main dish. Both also delicious. The oyster bisque is a little salty but I like my food salty. Definitely plan to return to this place for a full meal.

  • Jen U.

    While the ambience is nice the food was overpriced and the quality left something to be desired. One of the meals we ordered came out and was nothing like was described on the menu. Every single thing on the plate came out fried (even the asparagus) and it came on a bed of popcorn. Yes, popcorn. Needless to say that plate didn't seem like it was worth $25. When we couldn't find our server to get an extra plate so that we could share my meal, which came out ok, we grabbed a clean one that was sitting on an empty table next to us. A server came up shortly after and rudely said "you could have asked us for a plate." I told him we would have asked our server if he were anywhere to be found. We left shortly after and went to have coffee and dessert somewhere else.

    Great place to have a great time and more importantly great service!!!! Steven aka "Mario Lopez" because all the girls say he is an "M.L" look a like, lolol is awesome! He takes care of us over and be on the call everytime we go there. Also I want to mention Natasha. Natasha is the very best! She takes care of us like if we are family. I would recommend that if you're looking for a great spot to call "your spot" try Love is Blind and definitely ask for Natasha and Steven, tell them Alex sent you!

    The food was great! We tried the Tuna, Seabass, churrasco, croquetas, quinoa lettuce wraps, assortment of cheeses and ham... all delicious. The ambiance was beautiful, modern and cosy. The waiter, hostess and manager (who approached our table to say thank you) were very friendly and appreciative of us being there. I would definelty try this restaurant again!!!!

    Great ambience! Second time and that is enough to say that it is true to its sister restaurants. The food is tasty and service is very good as well. We had reservations and were seated promptly. I would visit again. Make sure you have the croquetas. I ordered the seabass and it was delicious! Our guests has the chicken and they said it was quite tasty as well. I recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

  • Claudia A.

    Beautiful atmosphere. Love the decor! Now the food is not worth the price. The salad appetizer is okay but not great. I ordered the "not pasta dish" and it left me appalled by the amount of sauce the zucchini was drowned in and the 5 small pieces salmon they so "generously" added. Not what I was waiting for.

    (2)

  • Jessica F.

    I give this place 4 stars based on food, service and value. I could also do it based on decor, which if you are one of those people that loves shower curtains from Bed, Bath and Beyond that have words printed in French and images of boudoir items such as hat boxes, vintage handheld mirrors, and powder puffs, then this will basically become your favorite restaurant. Each entree includes a nicely portioned appetizer, the entrees were all very good except the tuna tartar, which was sub-par. The caesar salad was great, so was the charcuterie plate. Chicken paillard was tasty, if you're looking for something lighter on the menu. Wine bottles are $14, glasses are $4. Give my preference for Japanese restaurant interiors, the decor is not my style, but If you're looking for a nice place to eat with family and still have some cash left over to buy the matching tissue box cover and toothbrush holder to match your BB&B shower curtain, then this is your spot.

    The atmosphere in this restaurant is awesome! I took my family and girlfriend last week for dinner and had an amazing time and meal. Our waiter's energy and attention to detail really made the experience that much better. Next time I visit i will request the same waiter, Steven is AWESOME. There was also an issue when I handed Steven my credit card to pay. However, him being such a great guy did not make it known to everyone. He simply handed me a note stating that the card did not go through, I apologized and thanked him for the discretion and handed him the correct card. Will definitely visit again!

  • Kristen M.

    To start off, the restaurant is beautiful! We had reservations on a Friday night at 8 which I don't think was completely necessary but it's nice just to be on the safe side. The bread that they start you off with is delicious and then we had the croquettes. They were warm, crispy, creamy, amazing. My bf had the cheese calzone which he really enjoyed. The $5 (I think it's $5) glasses of wine is another amazing part of the restaurant. They have a happy hour at the bar but don't offer it in the dining room. For my entree I had the Tuna Tartare which was good but not the best I've had. Some of the pieces were way too big and stuck together. Other than that come for the appetizers, beautiful decor, and great drink specials.

    My girlfriend and I had an incredible night here. The vibe, the service and food were perfect. For the food and location the price is also very reasonable.

    THIS restaurant does NOT carry, accept or provide change, as in quarters, dimes. We had the best intentions to enjoy - alas the ONLY parking nearby is pay-by-meter. In a city where you ONLY move via car, this restaurant does NOT provide change (ie to pay your meter or parking). Meaning you NEED change to pay it. It's customary to have the bartender change money - to at least refill your METER & stay longer @ the bar....Mostly if you're a tourist or visitor in Miami. The restaurant's management nor staff did not help. We had to leave. WHAT WERE THEY thinking??? No wonder it was EMPTY like a cave.

    Loved this place, what a great place for a date,or to hang out with friends for drinks. Candles lit up everywhere,gives it an amazing ambiance. Was pleasantly surprised by the set menu prices,being that its in the gables,it was very affordable. You either spend 17,21 or $24 & it includes appetizer, I chose the huevos rotos to start and the Strawberry Risotto, it was delish! The drinks where affordable and the waiter never left our wine glasses empty, very good service,great food, great ambiance and good friends ,cant go wrong!

    Unfortunately I was charged twice for a dinner on Jan 27 and to this day have not had it fixed by management of this restaurant for whom I have left countless messages. This poor customer service takes away from any good experience that could have been had while dinning there.

  • Juan S.

    3 stars This is another in the line of restaurants from the owners of Dolores/Lolita and Crazy for You on Brickell. Probably the best thing going about this place is that it's a great value. Food is of decent quality. The atmosphere is loud but the decor is very nice. This is a popular place for groups. I went on a Wednesday night and the place was way too loud ....I can't even imagine what it's like on the weekends. I'd probably return, maybe for lunch....I wish something could be done about the noise.

    Service was amazing. Our waiter was extremely attentive. The croquettes were the best I have ever had. The Chilean Seabass was flavorful and the filet mignon was very tender. Overall great experience and I will definitely come back.

  • Melissa M.

    Went to Love is Blind for dinner earlier this week. Had the cod croquetas and the Chilean sea bass for my entree. The croquetas were perfect, hot and salty. The seabass was amazing. Also had a delicious Malbec that was half off. Highly recommended. The service was outstanding; my only critique is that I tried my friend's churrasco and I wasn't too impressed. It was overdone and dry. Other than that, had a great time; it's a great spot for a special occasion. Can't wait to go back.

  • Joseph T.

    Save your appetite for a different place. The decor is upscale and attractive, the service is good, but the food and value proposition leave a lot to be desired. Appetizers were the "huevos rotos", which appeared as a poor imitation to the other Gables restaurant serving this Spanish staple. The spinach salad was average, but the croquettes were pretty good. The oriental chicken salad is below average and I would skip it. The churasco was embarrassing. The cut of beef is clearly below quality standards for most Coral Gables restaurants...almost inedible. The rice and plantains were good, but can easily be replicated in any Cuban restaurant. If you decide to share appetizers or main courses, be aware that they will charge you $10.00. 2pm on a Friday and three two tables occupied, with a table of elderly ladies cheerfully celebrating a birthday and a young family of 3 nearby, but doesn't appear to be a very frequented place. (They don't have a kids menu, so not necessarily a place for families.) Unfortunately, this is the third restaurant in this spot that will likely not make it - nothing worth visiting since the original concept was built here years ago. Maybe it's time to convert it to something other than a restaurant since few can get it right in this hard to park location.

    I'm guessing that the owners of Crazy About You, Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita, and now Love is Blind must be naming their restaurants after the track list on some obscure 1980s hair metal band. However, since my wife and I can't get enough of their serrano ham and manchego croquetas we were pleasantly surprised to see them open a place in the Gables. Sure, 225 Altara is cursed. We've eaten at Chispa, Casuajuana, and Sake Blue in this same place. The layout for Love is Blind is essentially the same, though with more of the candle-lit flair that Dolores has. Sure enough, the croquettes -- self-billed as the best that you will ever try -- did not disappoint. The other appetizer we went with -- huevos rotos -- I thought would be like the Huevos Por Fin served at what is now Bulla's. It wasn't like that at all, but it was still pretty darn tasty with poached eggs on top of potatoes with crispy pieces of serrano sprinkled on top. As anyone that has been to Crazy or Dolores knows, the menu is broken down into three tiers of entrees at set price points and they all include an appetizer. As I've found at the two other restaurants, the appetizers were better than the main courses. We went with the skinny chicken and the kobe sliders, and the highlight were the razor-thin shoestring fries served with the sliders. There was room saved for dessert, and instead of the signature make your own dessert we went with the nutella pizza. It was crispy and sweet with strawberries, bananas, and a scoop of ice cream, but it wasn't as good as the nutella pizza served at Pizza Rustica. Service was outstanding. We had an attentive waiter, and our food came out quickly. The manager came around to get some feedback, pointing out that the glasses were made of wine bottles that were cut and smoothed over. We'll be back. We finally have one of the siblings of the Brickell darlings in our hood! I'll have to work my way through some of the entrees to find the one that's my calling. One problematic thing was that there were just three tables occupied when we went on a very early dinner on a Saturday (5:30pm) and there weren't many more table occupied when we left an hour later. 225 Altara is cursed, but hopefully there are enough Gables fans of Dolores and Crazy to make this work. If not, there's always the 1980s hair metal idea!

    I'm giving two stars because the food was excellent. We were out celebrating a birthday and things were a bit tainted because of the service from Carlos. There was a couple that arrived later than the rest of the party. After sitting we had to flag Carlos down to request a menu and drinks. There was no greeting or welcome to the establishment. After waiting for 10 minutes for a menu I ended up walking up to the host stand to get one. None of our party was asked how the meal was from the waiter. We had to ask for our drinks constantly. Only once did he ask if we needed a drink. We ate the breakfast calzone. It was delicious and the croquettes were amazing. Once our check came the manager asked how everything was and we let her know about the service being subpar. Being in the hospitality industry this is the part that bugged me. The manager confronted him on the floor at the front of the restaurant while we were still seated, making things very uncomfortable. The manager was nice enough to comp our drinks. They bring the corrected check back which is the wrong one, so again we have to wait for the new bill to come. When it comes we give our cards to what I'm assuming is the male manager and then we waited for 15 minutes with no receipts coming back. It looked like the male manager handed the cards to our waiter Carlos who didn't charge any cards. We had to ask another server to find our cards. After about 20 minutes we finally received our receipts to sign. Needless to say I won't be coming back even though the food was great. Being a manager myself I would never reprimand an employee on the floor in front of people especially while the customers were there.

    I hate writing bad reviews.. so ill start with the positive! they have drink specials at the bar on a Saturday night.. and you can order reasonably priced delicious appetizers!! the croquetas tasted so authentic YUMM! the décor is really very nice and cozy.. the service at the bar was good and once seated was ok.. the guy took our order and brought our food... it was nothing special and the 2 of us that ordered beef carpaccio.. got our food several minutes after everyone else received their cooked food.. its raw man it should have been pretty quick to plate you would think. but the food was really good all the way to the flan for desert! and good prices. My only issue was the service received from the hostess who I think could have handled us a bit better. they wouldn't take a reservation so over the phone they suggested to the birthday girl to come in an hour early and put her name on the "list" and wait at the bar for her group so that her entire party of 10 people wouldn't have to wait when they arrived. Well 3 of us came 1 hour early to do just this and waited with her. the hostess told us to let her know once half of our party had arrived- which they did, after 1 hour of course, so we let the hostess know she said "great, our current wait time is now at 1 hour" WHAT? you don't understand we've already waited an hour- surely we don't have to wait in line behind everyone else who is now waiting to be seated??? Oh yes that's what she meant... the phone call early must have been a figment of our imagination.. we argued a bit but she stuck to her 1 hour and the bday girl decided we would wait. about 15 mins later that sat us at the "owners" table as we were told. umm thank you? but we could have avoided anyone being annoyed and ready to pick another of the 5000 restaurants in miami (totally my vote at the moment) if she had taken a moment to see what could be done rather telling too bad so sad in not so many words. in the end because they did fix the situation, I might give this place another chance but I wont go out of my way.

    Great service our waitress was super nice and extra attentive. The environment was very nice. it's a beautiful place... The food was good for the most part I had chicken and waffles it was a large portion. I wish their menu were a little bit more flexible , but u can't beat 99 cent mimosas on Sunday.

    we celebrated my sisters wedding reception at LOVE IS BLIND & it surpassed my expectations. not only is the food and ambiance of the place amazing the service is truly one of a kind. we were blessed to have JOSIE and MONICA in charge of our private party and they were the most caring, attentive and all around awesome people.... the guests were constantly served, drinks were constantly poured... smiles all around. a spectacular night celebrating my little sister. BIG THANK YOU to the amazing JOSIE & MONICA for a flawless & happy, happy night!

    This place is located in a cursed location so I hope this one has some stay power...we shall see. The restaurant is really nice, very quirky, decor is great, very nice large bar area, split into two sections, I guess this kinda makes it a little more cozy? Food was very good, nice choices and prices are also very reasonable. My only complaint is the noise level; its very loud! Its very difficult to hold a conversation with even someone sitting across the table from you. We were there on a busy Friday night, maybe another night isn't as bad. All in all its a nice addition to the neighborhood and I will return.

    "Love is Blind and so is their chef!" First time at Love is Blind for dinner. We ordered the Baby spinach and quinoa salad and fire roasted artichokes as our appetizers (The salad was dry and cold didn't have much dressing and only had one strawberry and tasted like it came out of the fridge and not fresh at all. As far as the fire roasted artichokes it was drenched in oil and mostly Panko breadcrumbs with almost hardly any artichokes. For our entrées we ordered the skinny Lolita and the pizza margherita. The skinny Lolita was just playing okay nothing special it was a thin piece of chicken with parts that were a little charred from the grill any basic Julian vegetable ratatouille which I wouldn't even call ratatouille. As for the pizza margarita it tasted like a day old "college" pizza that was sitting in the fridge and "reheated" barley! Also the breadsticks were old and hard. The only reason we gave it 2 stars is because the ambience is very nice and they did a great job of decorating the place, if you're coming here just for drinks and just to enjoy the ambience it's fine but I wouldn't get too excited about the food at least on our trip. The customer service was nice as well but I'm an avid Yelper and I was a little distraught to see this place had a review of four stars and if it's all mostly about the food it doesn't deserve four stars.

    I live in miami so it took me a while to arrive but well worth it. If your looking for a new romantic spot to take someone please visit. The wine and food is amazing, we order pizA and wine plus a tiramisu which was amazing!!! The valet parking is not bad it might be a little tricky to arrive but well worth it. If you live in miami and want to try something different check it out. The staff was very helpful and hospitable.

    I love this place! The decor is so unique and intriguing. If you're into interior design, it'll definitely catch your attention. They seem to be very detail oriented, which I love. The service is awesome. Elizabeth, the hostess was a sweet heart and Jordan, our server was phenomenal. I highly recommend you ask for him whenever you go! He's honest, sweet and very personable. We were actually pretty upset that he was busy and couldn't serve us last time we went, but he still made the effort to came over to check on our table throughout our time there. The croquettes are delicious! Baby spinach salad is really good too. The hangover wrecker is good, nothing spectacular. The brunch calzone is great! The chicken and waffles were definitely better than most others I've tried. We LOVE the 99 cent mimosas, but then again... Who wouldn't? I always recommend this place to friends. I can't comment on lunch and dinner because I've never been there during those times, but I'm sure it's just as good!

    Great romantic setting. Service was great and reasonably priced. Appetizers were ok nothing out of the ordinary. I love the churrasco. Didn't like too much the pizza that my girlfriend ordered. The great American dream dessert is a must try. Also, I recommend going to the bar before hand great drink and make reservations ahead.

    Missed my bday dinner even though we had reservations at 9:30 they were going to seat us at 11 with out guaranteeing us that we would sit close. I think timing is a factor. If you have 14 people waiting. You should not wait an hour and a half to say the stipulations. Very disappointed. We ended up at yard house seated right away.

    LOOOOOOOOOOVED this place!!!!! We have been fans of crazy about you for quite a while & couldnt be more excited when we got word that love is blind was opened blocks away from us! it has the typical Gables vibe, if youre a local you know what I mean. You're bound to bump into ppl from college/high school. Everyone the food, is fab, just like crazy about you, the 3menu prices, $14 house wine bottles. creative deserts. The place is soooooooo romantic! it has spanish flare. Our server was Randy and he was great...at the end of the night, i believe one of the managers approached our table and thanked us for visiting...such a NICE touch!!!! I will def be back!!!!!

    My wife and I had dinner here for my birthday. They have a simple concept: three different price points, each with appetizer included. The house wine by the glass is $3, and the wine bottles are $15. The food was very good and the portions were hearty. Good, solid restaurant concept without the annoying pretense.

  • Kenny G.

    My experience here was so bad that I felt compelled to create a yelp account just to explain how bad the service was. We were a group of 14 there for a birthday with a reservation at 930pm on Saturday 11/22/14. Our entire party arrived on time, our table was not ready so we found a couch outside to hang out while we waited to be sat. Long story short... With a 930pm reservation, it was now after 11 pm and we had not been seated or attended to outside even though they knew we were there. When we were finally approached after an hour and 45 minute wait we were informed that our table was ready but we would only be seated together if we ordered 4 appetizers before we would be allowed to sit, otherwise they would place us at random tables around the restaurant. When we all got upset and wanted to leave, the manager came out and offered us 5 free bottles of wine and appetizers. We were all so upset that we decided it would be a better night to walk across the street to yard house even after waiting almost 2 hours. We all felt disrrespected by the way we were treated and talked to. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. The only reason there is 1 star selected is because there is no option for none or negative stars.

    Dinner was just as good as my previous experience. The service was fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious. The zucchini pasta was so tasty I could have eaten another plate. My husband ordered the Kobe sliders which were cooked to perfection.. Great shoestring fries also. After two bottles of wine and delicious food, it set a great night out for our party of four.

    Just walked out and couldn't wait to write about this restaurant. My hubby and I go out to eat at least 2 times a week so when I read Jessica F review about it I was totally shocked. Ambiance- great! Vibrant and a romantic mood with a Miami chic twist The decor is astounding! It's layers upon layers of vintage with drapery and candles everywhere which adds to the romance of it all. Service was on point. We were pleasantly surprised about the attention provided to each patron and how our glass was never empty, and dirty plates weren't left on our table for even a minute. Prompt service and the staff was polite knowledgable and very accommodating. Food - was impressive! Portions are perfect. Has the caprese martini and the salmon a la sal and both were flawless but my husbands plate was seriously epic! Rock shrimp baked pasta. You have to try it!!! No room for dessert but Nutella pizza and flan looked great. Price- love love love the fact that for the entire me u there was only 3 prices $17 $21 or $25 and all entrees came with a choice of an appetizer. Been to many Miami spice restaurants and dined at many exclusive places, but few compare to the value you get for this price! $4 glass of wine really? And it was good! Not a clos du bois reserve but good none the less... Overall I recommend it and would give it more stars if I could... Maybe my husband just made it all that much better.... Hmmmm

    This restaurant is AMAZING! The decor alone is something to gaze at. The ambiance is chill, but very trendy. The drinks are delish; the food is superb! This is the perfect place to take someone on a date. The seating is intimate, with dim lights and love sayings imprinted on the ceilings. Appetizers come with all entrees. We went in a group and decided to share entrees. We had the croquettas, calamari, charcuterie, and huevos rotos. All were good. I will have to say that the croquettas are good however overrated. For my entree, I had the tuna tartar, which is small portioned but excellent! My boyfriend has the veal churassco which was AWESOME! Very good! The meat was juicy! My friend had the short rib pizza and her boyfriend had the braised steak brassato which was also very good. Overall, we had a very good experience here and I would definitely come back! Highly recommend this place for a date or for a birthday dinner!

    I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a couple of months. Once my boyfriend told me we will be having our Valentines Dinner here I was pretty excited. We had reservations, which was GREAT. The wait was ridiculously insane , thank fully we were there on time and were seated right away. The view of the restaurant is really nice, it has cool decorations. Since it was valentines it was pretty pack. I wasn't happy with the seating, the tables were right next to each other. I could hear the couple next to us entire conversation, our table was not comfortable at all. I asked the waitress if we can sit on another table which was not in use, we were told no we couldn't sit there because it was already taken. After 30 mins passes the table is still not taken, after an hour of having dinner, a couple sits on the table. I found it very unprofessional that the table was unoccupied for an hour and we were rejected from it. Over all the food was alright, but will not be interested in going to the restaurant again, DEFINITELY not on VALENTINE!

    This was the last out of the three sister restaurants that I visited. One of my best friends had a private party here for her birthday. Ambiance: Also very romantic concept like its sisters Crazy About You, & Lolitas. Food: It was a pre-fixe menu, which included 2 apps, 2 entrees, and a dessert, plus my best friend brought a birthday cake. I was pretty much stuffed by the end of the meal & I enjoyed everything I had. Service. Our server was friendly & funny and the whole staff took care of us since it was a large group of 20 of us. I love all these restaurants & would deff recommend for everyone to try at least one of them.

    One of my go to spots for any event. I've celebrated many birthdays here (including mine). The service is always amazing. The waiting staff is very helpful with the menu, and will always share their personal favorites and recommendations if you ask them. They will also do something special if you're celebrating anything. Although the service is great, the food is really why I keep coming back. First, there are 3 set prices and each price includes an appetizer & entree per person. I highly recommended the croquettas & huevos rotos! Trust me, you'll thank me later. I suggest you and your friends order a different appetizer and share so you all get a chance to try a few different ones. They are open for lunch, dinner, and have brunch on the weekends. They also have great happy hour specials, but it's limited to the bar area only.

    Where do I start, this place was incredible! Me and my boyfriend where really excited to visit. In celebration of our two year anniversary we chose a place different and with a lot to offer, and we sure landed in such a marvelous place to share in each others company. Steve made it special for us and completed our night with a "Happy 2nd" dulce de leche flan with hearts and all. We where thrilled. This place is a must visit, very unique :)

    I was really impressed with Love is Blind. I had previously been to sister restaurant Crazy About You so I was excited to see this location. We came here for a birthday party and they were able to seat us at our set reservation time, no problems. The ambiance is dimly lit I believe a good portion of the restaurant is lit by candles and it's a very swanky, yet not snooty environment. First thing we noticed on the menu was the $15 bottle of house wine. We ordered a great tasting Cab, definitely recommend. And then the dishes all come with an appetizer so we all ordered different ones to share. Stand outs were the jamon Serrano croquettes, the juevos, and burrata. For main courses, I had the zucchini spaghetti with salmon. My friend's gnocchi dish was heavenly. We were all pleased with our orders. And to top it off, they brought the birthday girl a delectable dulce de leche flan on the house. I was impressed with the on point service and our cheap bill. Our party of five ate and drank for $159. Great place for groups or a romantic date. The bar area is really nice too and looks like it could be happening on a friday happy hour. I will return.

  • Alessandra G.

    Wasn't impressed. It may look cute, but the food isn't good. Best part of the meal was the croquettes and spinach/quinoa salad. I ordered the sea bass...nice portion but didn't even want to finish it. I tried the linguini zucchini "Can't Believe it's Not Pasta," and it wasn't very good at all. I actually disliked the meal so much that I'm very hesitant to go to Crazy About You and Lolita...seems like the type of place that's all hype and not about the actual food.

  • Laure M.

    From the 3 restaurants (Lolita, Crazy about you and Love is blind), this is my favorite! The rule is the same: combo price for an appetizer and an entree. I had the mozzarella martini for an appetizer and it's BIG! Then I chose the zucchini pasta with salmon and vodka cream sauce for my entree. That was really good, very cheesy and lots of salmon. My friend for the quinoa salad and tuna tartar. Everything was delicious!! We indulged in a dessert and had the brownie just for fun. You have to make your own creation, it's fun, but we were more interested in eating the dessert. Service was perfect and the food was delicious. Two thumbs up!

    This place is great. Took a date here yesterday. Beautiful décor, location, nice ambiance, affordable prices and very good food. Their house wine is $15 a bottle! where do you get that these days? I took my own bottle of Novu (not available in the restaurant) and they had a reasonable corcking fee of $16 dollars,which was reasonable.The waiters/waitresses are just absolutely lovely people who are always cheery and know the menu inside out. The bar area is really nice however I wish it would be a little larger or more stools around the bar. Their serrano ham croquetas are the finest in town. My favorite dish is the zucchini pasta with salmon, but if you like your pasta with less sauce do request it because the first time around it was too much sauce for my taste. I have also had the braised beef with garbanzos, while the beef was really good, the garbanzos were just bland (and I do love garbanzos) it just didn't seem to be a good match. Their best dessert is the crema de leche flan -do not opt for another one, you will not regret it. I highly recommend this place but do make reservations. Also try their other restaurants Crazy About You (which has a beautiful view) and Dolores Lolita in the Brickell area. This place is decorated with beautiful curtains and the natural light of the candles divide a very romantic atmosphere for couples,dates or anything along those lines. It's a very cozy warm ambiance and even die a nice talk over wine with no further personal interest it's nice. They really went ahead with providing a lot of thought and detail to this venue. The bathrooms are very organized and clean. You will find mouthwash and dental floss in them for tour personal use id you choose to use it. I This place is great.

    Was there only for happy hour on a Friday after work. I met up with a couple of friends and we sat at the bar. Bartenders were super nice and attentive. A few good, strong drinks at 50 % off was exactly what I needed that day. We ordered tuna tataki and the vegetable spring rolls for appetizers and everything was delicious. I really enjoyed the vibe and everyone I was with had nothing but positive things to say. I want to go back to actually have dinner. I will update my review when that happens.

    After visiting the establishment for the second time, I have a different perspective. I'm in love & no, it's not blind, it's real. The service by Gonzalo was impeccable. Kitchen and bar were on sync. We decided to sit outside in the pretty chairs and ordered light since the mimosas were so delish, I had to save space.i had the best tasting croquettes you'll ever have which take a refreshing spin on the traditional recipe. Shortly afterwards, (and a few mimosas in) we ordered the prosciutto airbag, breakfast omelete and tried the chicken waffles. Everything was exquisite! You'll notice how the service makes a huge difference and ordering small thing a to share amongst your party allow you to sample the menu appropriately. Our hostess Elisabeth seated us promptly and everyone was on top of our table regarding refreshments and food. This is the brunch spot people! By the way, I'm stuck up in case you didn't notice. The orange juice they use is fresh squeezed from Florida's finest (Natalie's fresh squeezed) so Its Alex-approved ! Forget the other obnoxious places, THIS IS IT!!! Dollar mimosas, hello? Yes please !

    I've been to Love is Blind for dinner and Happy Hour and was impressed with both. They have an awesome happy hour with some pretty delicious drinks. Every drink we had was incredible. They had a St. Germain drink that was perfect for summer. I also had one that had Bourbon, Peach and hot sauce. Not a combo you could expect but it was delicious. A great, classy, fun happy hour with some great waiters. Their dinner menu was also great. All dishes come with an appetizer and everything we ordered was delicious. The croquettes were great, but not the best I've ever had. Overall, I'd say this place has great deals and was really fun for either Happy hour or dinner. But it was missing that extra something special to bump it up to a 5 star.

    Last night my husband and I.could escape.from the kids for a little while and we went to love is blind. Manny was our server and he made our date night great. He was so detailed and friendly, it was refreshing to be attended to by someone who actually looks like he loves what he does. The food was amazing. The portions are great they are not.huge where you feel overstuffed. Those croquetas were AMAZING! finally the cappuccino flan is a must have! Thank you manny for a great night and to love is blind for making an amazing dining experience at reasonable price.

    Came in again because I really wanted to give this place another chance (where else can you get $1 mimosas? no really, where? please tell me). Plus their croquetas are literally to die for. That alone makes coming here all worth it. This time I decided I would try the same thing I did last time, an omelet and potatoes. I asked them not to mix my potatoes in that tomato sauce and they were 10x better this way. This time my omelet was cooked to perfection, which I was extremely happy about. I don't necessarily like that it comes in a skillet but I guess for presentation purposes it's cute, and it does at least keep my eggs warm as I chat with my girlfriends and down mimosas. Speaking of mimosas - this time the rounds kept coming out constantly which was really great, and we found out that they use Natalie's Orange Juice which made my friend really happy so I'm guessing that's a good thing? The service was outstanding, everyone is super friendly and welcoming. This has now become our new Saturday morning ritual. We love it.

    All about the ambiance and decoration. Love is blind certainly hits the mark with it's ambiance and decorations. The restaurant scene is straight out of a movie-very romantic, quaint and truly an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, they fell short in a few items although made up in other areas. My friends and I gathered on a Tuesday. No specials necessarily at the regular tables as happy hour is only offered at the bar Monday-Thursday. Found this very odd! There are 4 price areas on the menu and every entree brings an appetizer. Here's where they hit the mark...service was great. Server was attentive and brought the items on a timely manner. The croquettes and calzone were absolutely delectable. Highly recommend. For main entrees, the half baked chicken was extremely tasty as was the chicken and waffles. The churrasco was good, not great, on top of a bed of what seemed to be mashed plantains...not to the liking of my taste. My girlfriend ordered the filet mignon and it was certainly far from it. When a filet mignon is ordered, you expect a nice portion of steak with no fat, charred outside and juice inside. This steak was far from it. Extremely dry even though it was ordered medium (butterfly). The restaurant does not offer steak sauce although the waiter offered 2 other sauces for it. Unfortunately, as much as this would "moisten" the steak, the damage was already done. For this experience, ordering a filet mignon should only be done at a steakhouse. For dessert, the Nutella pizza was ordered. How can you go wrong with a dessert? This was also good, not great. The pizza, medium plate size, is Nutella with a few strawberries over a crust pie. Because I think everything is baked, the Nutella doesn't taste as fresh as from a syrup bottle. I recommend the dessert but it didn't receive 5 starts. Overall, it truly was an enjoyable experience although the food was good, not great!

    Love is Blind but the staff is not! What a great place for a date! The customer service is great. Ask for Jordan, he is excellent and will give you five star service! The menu is full of unique dishes. Try the "I can't believe it's not Pasta"

    I so rarely write a Negative Review, but the date that was ruined on this can not be excused. Up front I made reservations a week in advance, once I arrive I explicitly asked for a romantic table, or as close as they could as this was a special occasion. As I waited at the bar, I saw the bartenders handling the fruit (tangerine slices) with their bare hands and was grossed out. I couldn't believe what they were doing, I almost was going to take a video of it. What did I get, a table that rocked side to side so bad, it was embarrassing. After waiting for ever (this place was all but empty at 7 on a Saturday, what does that tell you) I nicely explained to my waiter our issue. He said he could get something to put under the table. I asked nicely just to be reseated. With the place all but empty, he told me no tables were available. After I pressed, what did he do, sat us at the last table right by the Kitchen, the heat, the noise. I flat got the impression he was punishing me for disrupting him. Date Ruined. The food quality has gone way down. The Chilean Bass, in a milky white not presentable , my churrasco steak was ok, but the bowl of brown rice was dry and uninviting. And only 1 dessert on the Menu ? I can't remember when I had to review this bad, but I just prey no one else falls into the bad night I had here. Never again will I visit this place. It has gone way downhill

    Having a dog-friendly hostess will always get an extra star from me (oh and there's dog friendly terrace seating too, for future reference!) I haven't socialized around the Gables in a while, so when I found myself for an extended amount of time in the Merrick Park area while my car was with the Best Mechanic Ever (see my review: yelp.com/biz/tires-plus-… ) I used my Yelp Mobile app and found my way to Love is Blind. Walking in just before they officially opened, the hostess allowed me to sit inside early and start off with their crispy, crumbly bread with balsamic vinegar and a glass of water. Ninety-Nine cent very loaded Mimosas before noon. Tell me that's not a reason to go early to brunch! I do mean loaded, not the watered down mess other restaurants try to pass off as mimosas. As I've said before, I judge brunch places on their Eggs Benedict and L.I.B. didn't disappoint. Served all modern like in a skillet with an order of spicy patatas brava, the short ribs had delicious hints of sweet. They contrasted nicely with the warm, meaty serrano ham croquetas that came complementary with my entree. Heck, I even left room for their nutella pizza. Do I really need to elaborate about a thin crust pizza with nutella spread and fruits? Buen provecho, you're welcome!

    Love is blind is really an amazing restaurant in a very sexy neighborhood of coral gables. The location is very close to a major outside mall in south Miami and it is very well thought out. Every major detail of the restaurant in and out is with purpose. Valet and public parking is available without concern. As you enter the restaurant love is sprinkled all over the place. You can choose to sit the main area or you can sit in the tables next to the windows or if the weather permits they got a few tables outside. The menu is again well thought out and they have 3 different types of menus to choose from. We had the zucchini salmon which you would think is pasta but isn't and the tuna tacos both the dishes were very well cooked. If you are looking for something different this is the place to take your loved ones!!!!

    Ok for all the haters who think this restaurant is so cheesy sounding... Your loss :) I honestly do not know if love is blind or not however I do know my own vision is bad and with age it will get worse. Ok now to the positive: I wanted to go here for one of my bday dinners (everyday is almost my bday celebration this month) and this restaurant did not disappoint. 5 stars all around with hearts around them please. 1. I loved the atmosphere and the whole seating area is gorgeous. They have awesome table options of booths and tables. With indoor and outdoor seating. They have pretty candles, quotes and lamps all around. The restaurant is very clean and contemporary looking. 2. Service was impeccable. Our server Josie was awesome and explained everything on the menu. She didn't rush us or took to long. She asked after every course how we enjoyed our food. She truly was a delight and really made our evening wonderful. 3. Food. The reason why we went there was the menu and the many options they had. I was boring and ordered vegetable spring rolls for my appetizer. And they were delicious. Sam was the adventurous soul who ordered asparagus with egg on top and cheese and a marinara type of sauce. His appetizer was uniquely good but I liked my spring rolls more. For dinner I went for a safe choice again of tuna tacos, which were really good. However I admit Sam's dinner of: its not pasta (zucchini and salmon) was tantalizing. The sauce of his dish was scrumptious with notes of lemon, cheese, pesto etc which made it very flavorful. 4. Dessert. We ended up getting the American Dream. That was a make it your own kit kind of a deal. They give you a warmly divine brownie, scoop of ice cream, cocoa powder, whip cream and chocolate syrup. You put all these ingredients and make your own pretty dessert plate and you can put a nice message for each other (lovers or enemies) your choice! 5. The end. Loved the fact the manager drops off the check and makes sure your experience was delightful. Very few restaurants do that. I really liked that concept and it shows they care about their guests. Thank you Love is Blind for a awesome bday dinner. I can not wait to bring my entire family next time for dinner.~

    I had the tuna tacos and french fries. The tacos were a generous portion and certainly weren't bad, but were missing a flavor. They were disappointingly bland. I would not get them again. The fries, however, were crispy and salty deliciousness. The menu isn't set up for small bites, so come to dine for a meal. It won't be less than $20 for your food. The brunch menu didn't look standout. Soda order came with its own carafe so as to avoid waiting on refills, the staff was very nice and accommodating, and the setting was beautiful with high ceilings and lavish decor. It's a nice birthday dinner setting. I'm not sure how good their drinks or happy hours are, but this seems like a good place to meet up with a date or colleague for a drink. That's what I'll be back for: ambience and an order of fries.

    What a gorgeous restaurant! I love the atmosphere and the decor is so elegant! I came here to celebrate abuelo in law's 80th birthday with a party of almost 30. My husband and I arrived early and enjoyed a couple of cocktails by the bar. This was on a Saturday evening and they have happy hour (1/2 price cocktails) until 9pm. The specialty cocktails were really good and they are pricey so I am thankful for the happy hour discount. Once we were seated the food started coming out. So much food I couldn't finish it all and had left overs to take with me. I am happy that they served these plates in small portions, tapas style! We had a bunch of appetizers, a couple entrees with sides and a dessert. Appetizers: The Charcuterie, "Three little Pigs" Mortadella, Salami, Prosciutto and Brie Cheese. This was delicious and how could you go wrong with this awesome trio of meat and brie? Croquettes. Crunchy on the outside and gooey in the center. I love croquettes so this one made me happy. "Huevos Rotos" Confit Potatoes and Jamon Iberico. The fried eggs, ham and rich potatoes were perfect and I wish I could eat this dish for breakfast everyday! "Trio of Cheese Calzone" Ricotta, Mozzarella & Goat Cheese. Strong goat cheese flavor and the calzones were small two bite portions that were delicious if you are a goat cheese fan like I am. Caesar Salad. Funny thing, the menu mentions the Caesar Salad was created in Tijuana. I didn't realize the history of that salad until now. Anyway, this salad was more cheese than lettuce. Topped with tons of Parmesan and just the right amount of dressing and croutons. Entrees: Gran Gnocchi di Patata, Parmesan Cream Sauce & Portobello Mushrooms. Very rich and the best part were the mushrooms! Braised Steak Brasatto in a Mushroom Marsala Wine reduction. The steak was delicious and again the best part were those mushrooms! Sides: Sweet Plantain Mash and Sautéed Spinach and Cherry Tomatoes. The mash was pleasantly sweet. The spinach was slightly wilted and delicious. Dessert: Dulce de Leche Flan...yup, it was as glorious as you can imagine! Super rich and I loved every bite! I would love to go back to this beautiful restaurant for the great food, drinks and lovely atmosphere!

    I've been here for brunch twice and I love this place's decor and menu concept (appertizer and main for one price). I will tell you that the croquetas are to die for (as they boast on the menu)! I've tried most of their brunch mains and can say that they are all good (especially the brisket benedict). Also, the kids meals are a great value (and the kids loved them). I'll be coming back.

    Wow, this place was fantastic! We had a surprise b-day lunch for my mom here and everything was great. We had a separate room to accommodate us and help us hide from the b-day girl upon her arrival, and the menu was preplanned. Our waiters were very friendly and extremely helpful. The apps were scrumptious! They included Serrano ham croquettes, Trio of cheese calzone, and Charcuterie (3 little pigs). These croquettes basically melt in your mouth, I would come back for these alone! We were served salad before our main course. The entree was Churrasco and roasted chicken with vegetable ratatouille and bacon mashed potatoes. They were both seasoned perfectly! Needless to say the food was delicious! The restaurant has a very nice cozy feel. Be sure to check out all the sayings on the walls and the wine room towards the back. I didn't have a chance to look at the whole menu but from the taste of what we had, I'm sure everything else is just as delicious. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Adore, adore, adore this place! We walked in at 9 40 pm when they close at 10 pm on Sundays. I thought we would get the roll of the eye service for doing this. I was completely and pleasantly surprised to see the opposite. The host was soooo nice as well as the server. We received a warm greeting and the server was enthusiastic to share their menu options. My boyfriend and I have been here once but my sister and her fiance have not. He proceeded to explain how their menu is set up. They really have such great options! They divide their entrees into different price categories. For instance, if you want to pay about $25.00 for your meal, you get to decide between churrasco, fish and other dishes in that range, as well as an included appetizer of your choice! To top it off their house wine is $15 per bottle and it actually tastes good! We ordered the churrasco with sweet plantain mash and morro, and fried tomatoes with an aioli sauce as appetizer! Amazing...simply amazing! My sister and her fiance ordered the ribeye steak pizza and the roasted chicken. Delicious as well! Our deserts were even more incredible, the caramel flan and the American Dream Brownie. The American Dream brownie was sooo unique. They bring out the ingredients separately, in a basket, so that you can design it. Once you complete your creation, they provide a sheet of paper in order to write your own American dream, which is submitted to a monthly contest (you can win dinner for two). Our dinner, our desert, the service, the wine and the breathtaking ambiance was epic! I highly recommend this restaurant. Just beware that on Fridays they have a dj playing so it gets loud. I have desert pics....sorry no dinner ones. Fyi...great place for a romantic dinner! Candles everywhere and awesome music.

    My wife and I stopped in for lunch just after shopping at the mall. It was a late lunch around 2:00pm and there were only a few people at the restaurant. Everyone seemed to be sitting outside but we chose to be seated inside which was really nice as the place is intimate and cozy. We ordered the meat and cheese plate as an appetizer as well as the ham and cheese croquettes. The meat and cheese plate was good. I learned for the first time in 51 years of eating that you can actually eat the outside of brie cheese. Who knew right? Anyway the croquettes we served piping hot and were very good. My wife loves them but I don't for some reason, maybe its just I've never had any good ones but these excellent and I just loved them. For our main course I had the Salmon salad and my wife ordered the short rib. My salad was good, no complaints other than it was served in an odd shaped bowl and I kept spilling some it if. It came with strawberries in it which I was initially going to pick out but I'm glad I didn't because they added a bit of sweetness I wasn't expecting. My wifes short rib was wonderful as well. I make it at home in the slow cooker all the time and she just loves it. She said it was every bit as good as mine which means it must have been phenomenal. If you're in the area I highly recommend Love is Blind. Good food at a reasonable price in a cozy setting. The valet parking makes it easy. P.S. Order the croquettes, you won't be disappointed.

    Food is decent, decor is nice. On my last visit, I sat at the bar and ordered a vodka ginger ale from the bartender. Twice she served it to me and I had to send it back because not only was it the incorrect color but it tasted nothing like a vodka- ginger ale. Finally, I asked her to show me how she is making my cocktail and at that point she decides to tell me that they don't actually have ginger ale, so instead she mixes Coke and Sprite in order to "make" ginger ale. Are you kidding me?! I had to laugh at this, what else could I do! If you don't have something please tell your customer, we are not idiots, and I would have been much more understanding if she would have told me upfront. I could have ordered something else, no big deal. But since she let me sit there and wait and attempt to drink two drinks that she knew were not what I ordered, I will not return to this place.

    Love is blind is a great little spot with good food and great prices. We had the ham croquettes and burrata with tomatoes for appetizers, it was very tasty. I had the grilled filet mignon with a red wine reduction, roasted wedge potatoes and herb butter - the steak was cooked perfectly!!! The food was delicious! It was accompanied by a very reasonably priced bottle of Malbec. Of course topped dinner off with the American Dream dessert - it was a lot more interesting than the reality of putting it together. It was fun and delicious!

    Went here for a Sunday Brunch to catch up with a friend. First things first, the presentation when you walk in the restaurant is adorable. Neat lamps, nice lighting, cute quotes around the walls.. overall nice ambiance. Hosts was nice and seated us pretty quickly, but yet again, it wasn't a full-house either. Waiter was accommodating and give us a "first-timer experience". Explained the brunch-menu, 3 different prices that come with side and entrée (along with the rest of the traditional-menu options). Food came by quickly and at the time they had 0.99 cent mimosas (not sure if they still do it but definitely call and find out- totally worth it). Presentation nice. Would definitely come back for brunch or for a birthday dinner.

    What a f'ing joke! A shot of fireball cost me 10 bucks and it was only half full! Vodka and redbull was 15 dollars for 6 ounces of mostly ice!!! Had to wait for quite some time to get a drink. Won't be going back here unless I bring my 5th of fireball which only costs 19 bucks at the liquor store. Highway robbery!!!

    I took my girlfriend here for Valentine's day. I've never been here but co-workers recommended it to me. Oh man, not one regret! This place is awesome! Ambiance is really nice. Very lightly lit. The food is even better. Our food was presented very well. The churrasco was extremely satisfying. We had a cocktail called She is so Vain. I recommend it. Very unique taste (I don't drink too many cocktails, so this was bomb for me!). Please go here. Give it a shot. You won't be disappointed. And I can't forget our server. Steven, you were great. You helped make the experience even better. I'll definitely be back soon!

    Love at First Sight When you enter Love is Blind you are going to be dazzled by the sheer coolness and ingenuity of the restaurant. It boasts a funky motif that successfully intertwines ancient art with a trendy, funky and sexy vibe. In case you are tripping out (ref: Forgetting Sara Marshall Clip), there are smooth furry walls to pet, blowup octopus like chandeliers, head bust sculptures with papal crowns and mounted bull skulls proclaiming pearls of wisdom such as "All you need is love." It is one of the most fun, tricked out restaurant decors we have ever encountered. Love is Blind is the latest addition from the Passion Restaurant Group. They also own the very popular Crazy about You, as well as Dolores but you can call me Lolita. The owner Carlos, who opened up his first restaurant in Madrid at the ambitious age of 25, explained his "cheap is chic" concept. He believes patrons should be able to experience quality cuisine in a gorgeous setting with excellent service at very affordable prices. The menu couples one appetizer and one entree at a fixed price ranging from $18 to $33 depending on which main entree you choose. That's a sick deal for an app and a filet mignon!! We commenced with the Trio of Cheese Calzone with a banging, exotic lingonberry jam. The calzone was baked to a pretty golden sesame seed crust, adding a solid flavor and texture to the savory pastry. The Ricotta, Mozzarella & Goat Cheese blended together nicely without any one overpowering the other. The sweet jam brought out and complemented the cheesy flavors. If Italians took at stab at making a pastelito de guayaba y queso, this might be what they come up with. For an extra $2 surcharge, you can have the Imported Burrata Caprese Martini appetizer (their Cod Croquettes have the same surcharge) and it is well worth the upgrade. Akin to a delightful burrata pesto salad, it was served in a huge martini glass with lettuce, beautifully firm and ripe baby tomatoes as well as a refreshing pesto sauce. The burrata was soft gooey and fantastic. The pesto and tomatoes complemented the cheese quite splendidly. There was a slight hint of sweetness melded into the dish, as well. It was a fantastic and uncommon approach to burrata. Our first main was a Grilled Shrimp with Artichokes Open Papillote served with fresh rosemary, extra virgin olive oil and cherry tomatoes The ingredients were oven-grilled so the artichokes were really tender and fantastic when combined with the fresh rosemary. There was also nice amount of juicy flavorful shrimp included in the dish. Our second main was a nice cut of Grilled Veal Churrasco which we really enjoyed, but it was the sweet plantain mashed potatoes that had us purring at the table. It is soft, mushy mashed potatoes with just the right amount of sweet plantain added to make it addictive. The sweet plantain taste lingered and begged us to keep our mouths coated with its incredible flavor. It also came with grilled onions that worked so well with the veal. A bowl of Cuban Moro or Moros y Cristianos, which means Moors and Christians accompanied the dish. "Moors" refers to the black beans, and "Christians" to the rice. The name stems from early Cuban settlers reference to the Islamic Conquest of Spain which had a profound effect on the Spanish culture and language. The rice and beans are cooked together and we thought they infused ham into this version. It was flavorful and not pasty or mushed. Sometimes Moros can be very mushy and this version kept its nice rice consistency. For dessert we decided to forego the very tempting Tomorrow I'll start my Diet Nutella Pizza for the artistic and interactive Your Sweet American Dream. The dessert is comprised of a hot brownie, vanilla ice cream, whip cream, strawberries, chocolate syrup, cocoa and your unbridled creativity. The ingredients are presented and you must channel your inner (or outer artist) to decorate your plate. We applaud the uniqueness and ingenuity of this dessert and we had to participate. The warm brownie was deelish and it was fun to be encouraged to play with your food in a restaurant. We only wish we had M&M's to add some vibrant color to our Dessart. Love is Blind will definitely be making our shortlist for great date spots. It has reasonably priced tasty food and wine as well as a marvelous and romantic ambiance. They also have a laudable happy hour from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. every day with half price on all beer and liquor. On Thirsty Thursdays, it's happy hour all day and night! They also have a "Love around the Clock" special where it's beat the clock on Moët specials that range from $5-$10 depending on how early you arrive. We had a great time and will definitely be back to dine and wine again.

    A sophisticated location with a fabulous bar! Love is Blind has really focused on craft cocktails and the attention to detail is very evident! As we were with a group for happy hour, I got to sample a large variety of the cocktails and nibbles and loved all but one thing! My favorite, My fellow yelpers, I am sorry but I forgot to take a pic of the cocktail menu so I will try to properly refer to my favorite two drinks. I thought the best was the craft lychee martini (had a "sexy" name). Very refreshing, full of fresh fruit, but packs a punch ;) A runner up is the St. Germain champagne cocktail. a very generous portion of drink. A bit lighter than a Martini, but those are the ones that you have to watch out before they knock you out! There was a cherry champagne cocktail that had that "cough medicine" flavor you can get from cherry drinks - if that's not your favorite flav, steer clear. However, the bartender was great and switched it out immediately at no cost to us! We ordered only appetizers at happy hour and there was not a bad one in the bunch! In fact, we ordered a second round of the croquetas and huevos rotos. The croquetas are Spanish style so are full of bechamel and little chunks of jamon serrano. Super crispy on the outside and ooey gooey yumminess on the inside, they disappear before you know it! The huevos rotos is the most indulgent fancy breakfast skillet I have ever had! Perfectly fried and tender potatoes and onions are the base for fried eggs and good quality jamon serrano. I want to go back JUST for this dish! In short, take your girls, your date or some random stranger off the street but happy hour at Love is Blind can't be beat!

    Another successful visit to Love is Blind! After my first time here, I vowed to come back. This time I went in for dinner to celebrate the ball n chain's birthday, and I was just as satisfied as I was when I went for lunch! Our appetizers were the 3 cheese calzone (brie, goat and ricotta) and the croquettes. My husband and I absolutely love those croquettes! They are just amazing! The calzone was good, but I'm not a big ricotta cheese fan. It comes with some preserves on the side which do work to enhance the flavor. I probably wouldn't go for it again, though. As our entrees we had the new Churrasco dish they just added and the I Can't Believe it's Not Pasta. Both were great! My husband loved his steak - it came out cooked just how he liked it. And it comes with some mash plantains that were to die for! The "pasta" in my entree is actually zucchini and it came with this awesome cream vodka sauce, salmon, and shredded cheese on top. I was very happy with my choice! Desert was a no go as we were stuffed! Temping, yes (please just take a look at the dessert menu!), but we just couldn't find any room for it. Service was great and the ambiance was super sexy. Love this place!

    Shout out to my 16 year old sister (AKA Baby girl) for picking this spot for her birthday. Very sophisticated with a mix of vintage decor. Everything from the light fixtures, the Marilyn Monroe painting, old fixtures and quotes on the walls were a great mix. Parking was of course pay to park, had a little mission with that since I had never gone thru my phone to do it but I got a spot directly across the street so no hassel. I was greeted at the door and advised I was the first in my party to arrive and they directed me to the bar. I wanted something spicy so I ordered a Bloody Mary (been loving Bloody Mary's lately especially with a nice fresh salty olive) and the bartender made it perfect, she even added extra hot sauce for an even spicier kick , just my style.I'm so sorry I don't remember her name but she was the best. As my party arrived we were seated in a private dining area where they have all the wines stored. It was fabulous! We all ordered something different so we can all taste each other's appetizers and meals. I must say I was pleased with everything. I ordered the chicken with bacon mashed potatoes. It was so good and could've fed 3 people easy. Doggie bag was in full effect for sure! I won't go into detail about every meal BUT I will provide pictures and let them speak for themselves. Everyone was more then satisfied, left full, and smiling. I love this place and the service was wonderful. What a great experience they provided my family and I and most importantly, my baby sister on her 16th birthday. Love you baby girl.

    We had a reservation for 15! At 11:30 calling us to confirm, Went with coworkers to celebrate a birthday The food was ok, white sangria sucked! It was more like an orange juice really bad,our server tony looked so scared of taking care of our orders, looked like he doesn't like big party's, he was desperate for us to leave which is very rude, if you are not used to bigger groups ask help or tell your manager you can't do it, but don't make your customers uncomfortable, also at 4pm happy hour started and a coworker ordered a drink and tony said happy hour is only at the bar! Lol if you offer a happy hour on your establishment why are u telling me is only at the bar? It's not like I'm somewhere else, not really worth it, definitely not coming back.

    Ok, so I've gone to Love is Blind a lot of times. Dinner, lunch, happy hour and brunch. Brunch was a complete let down. I had the eggs benedict and I couldn't even finish them, I felt I was going to vomit everywhere. Sorry, but the hollandaise sauce mixed with barbecue sauce is absolutely disgusting. I told the waitress I HATED the dish and that's why I didn't even eat half of it and she didn't take it off my check. Now, for dinner, lunch and happy hour, I've had AMAZING experiences. The food has been absolutely delicious and the wait staff extremely dedicated to making us feel welcome and comfortable. These experiences are definitely what kept me from giving then anything less than 5 stars. Apart from the eggs benedict for brunch, I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.

    My husband and I had a reservation here last Saturday to celebrate our half year wedding anniversary :) The experience was great, I ordered a pineapple daiquiri which was sooo tasty For appetizers we had the ham croquettes and the oyster bisque- both were not disappointing at all, for main dish I had the tuna tartar, great flavors, very delicate dish, my husband had the filet mignon which was just a piece of paradise, so tender and juicy!!!! And for a happy ending a beautiful and delicious cappuccino flan ( I wish I were able to steal this recipe) The service was outstanding, thank you to Love is Blind for making our day such a wonderful experience, planning to visit Crazy about you soon :)

    All of the Passion Group restaurants are amazing and Love is Blind is one of the prettiest! I've visited this location several times and have a great experience every time. Whether you're going with a group or your significant other you're guaranteed to have a great meal. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a romantic feel (hence the name, I suppose). The food is also pretty amazing. I have yet to have a bad experience at this restaurant (or any of its sister restaurants for that matter). I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Came here for my sister's Bday. Food was very good and for a reasonable price you get an appetizer and a main course. I ordered the spring rolls and the Tuna tartar. No regrets! Everything was excelent. The only objection is that happy hour applies only if you are sitting at the bar......meh......as for the rest the menu options are great ( better than their sister restaurant Crazy About You, I must say). And you gave good price for the wine. I will definitely come back!

    Love is Blind has everything you want in one restaurant and more. I love how there is a box on the table where you can put your cellphones inside. I think it's a great idea because it helps you really enjoy the moment with your family and friends. For parking, you can valet for $8 or try to find street parking. I love the atmosphere. The restaurant itself has such a nice feel to it. There are quotes all around and the lighting is very nice with all the pretty lamps and candles. To start, I had the croquettes, which are my favorite! They were so good. Then, I had the chicken and waffles which was another amazing dish. For dessert, I had the Nutella pizza. It was a pizza with nutella, bananas and strawberries. How good does that sound? I suggest going with a group of people so you can try a little bit of everything. Love is Blind is a perfect place to take a significant other or to just go with a group of friends. I will definitely be coming back!

    The most enjoyable brunch in Miami. The service from Manny was flawless, friendly and attentive, he looks like he loves his job and it shows. The manager stopped to chat for a bit and was very pleasant too. Food was delicious and very well prepared. I would suggest to add a few additional options that caters to a more breakfast oriented patron. Don't get me wrong, the menu is amazing. But I wouldn't mind fancy pancakes too. They have .99 cent Mimosa till noon! Yes, U read that right. .99 cents!

    The ambiance here is very unique. They had candles everywhere and larger than life artwork all over the place. The food here is amazing! You can tell the chefs really take pride in their food. The price ranges from $19.99-32.99. The menu set up is interesting, you order an entree from the set menu and it comes with an appetizer. Food- I ordered the ham croquettes as my appetizer and it was delicious! We had a large group and everyone raves about the oyster bisque. For my entree I ordered the churrasco which was yummy. The salmon however was the best tasting entree on the menu. The coffee/ dulce de leche flan was also very yummy. All and all I will defiantly come back again!

    The one star is not for the food. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try it and I was really looking forward to it. The one star is for customer service. We made our way in at 10:15pm this past Wednesday and were advised by the nice hostess that we would have to order in 5 minutes cause the kitchen closes in 5 minutes. No problem, we knew what we wanted. I wanted Huevos Rotos as I've had at Dolores and a glass of wine. Not sure what food item my girl ordered. My best friend did not want to eat, so he just ordered a glass of wine. Our waiter (did not get his name, shame on me!), advised my best friend he would be charged a $10.00 sharing fee if he ate from our plates. He stressed this a total of 3 times. Yet again he says in a loud tone " I'm just warning you, if you get caught you will be charged $10.00". My friend was not in the least bit rude to him. He winked at him and told him "don't worry I'm not here to eat, I just want my glass of wine ". I, on the other hand was ticked. I was embarrassed. The waiter came across as rude and condescending. Who the fv©k does he think he's dealing with? Kids? Peons? We felt like we were in trouble. Like he was scolding our group. We felt so uncomfortable, we had to walk out. I told the lovely girls in the front to please cancel our order with our rude waiter. I have nothing but respect for servers. They are hard working people. They have many tables to attend to with all kinds of colorful characters to deal with throughout the day. Not only is it their job to get our food order right, bring it out but also to make our dining experience an enjoyable one. This was not the case at this fine establishment. Love may be blind but I won't fall for that!

    Out of this world. We were a group of 7 and they accommodated us very well. My husband ordered the croquettes and the table ended up ordering a second helping. The gnocchi was delicious very rich but worth the calories. Our only complaint is that the spicy Italian sausage pasta was way too sweet. Maybe for some people's taste but not for us at all. The reason they did not lose a star for this was because of their reaction. The waiter noticed that the penne pasta was the ONLY dish unfinished at the table so he asked if everything was OK . We explained how we felt about the dish and The manager came over. He was was extremely kind and voided the dish. Everyone was so nice and we truely had a wonderful experience. Looking forward to coming back soon.

    Wanting to try something new we searched a bit on Yelp & after looking at some photos & reviews decided on Love is Blind... it's catchy & definitely a Miami name. Having been to Delores in Brickell to celebrate a birthday we knew it would be a cool place to try. We made a quick reservation & looked forward to a great night. As you pull up to the restaurant you are given several choices for parking. You can valet for $8, try your luck with street parking, or park in the nearby garage which is literally accross the street. $3 for the first 2hrs & a $1 each additional. Once you walk inside you are greeted by a really nicely decorated entryway. You can tell a lot went into this design. There's a manequin in a dress behind a DJ turntable. Once we took in all the sights we headed over to the hostess table also decked out in cool gear. After checking in, (we were a bit early) we went over to the bar for a few drinks while we waited for our table. The bartenders were attentive & quickly greeted us with smiles. The drinks were good & priced on par for the Gables. Our table was ready right on time! The tables are pretty close to each other when you are a party of 2 so expect that. The larger round tables offer a bit more space & privacy. We sat down & glanced over the menu. There is a little sign on the table attached to a box for holding cell phones as to not be rude to the people you are eating with. I loved this idea & quickly threw my phone in the box. The first side is apps & entrees while the reverse is your drink menu. For being a place in the Gables I was shocked to see apps are included with the price of your entree. This was a really nice surprise. Having seen photos of the food I had my heart set on trying the croquetas. We also went with the 3 cheese Calzone. For entrees, the Chicken with Bacon Mashed Potatos & the Kobe Sliders with shoestring fries were calling our name. I got a Coke also which was served in a mason jar. Once the apps came I grabbed my phone but just to take a few quick photos. The Calzone was ok but the Croquetas were fantastic! The entrees showed up at the perfect time right as the apps were settling in our stomachs. The Chicken & Bacon Mashed Potatos were awesome as were my Kobe Beef Sliders. The shoestring fries reminded me of McDonalds fries which is actually a compliment to anyone who knows fries. The taste & texture of the fries was perfect & my sliders were cooked medium as requested. With apps & entrees gone it was time to indulge in some sweetness. The dessert menu is actually a double sided abacas with a chalk board. We went with the Nutella Pizza & the Dulce De Leche Flan. The Nutella Pizza had a really good Vanilla bean ice cream on top but the dough was more of a chewy pita type rather than a sweet sugar cookie dough base which I was expecting. The standout was the Flan, it was excellent! A great dinner for two with a few drinks, apps/entrees, & desserts ran right around $100 which is on par for the Gables. Cliff Notes: Good: Prices are reasonable, food is good, great atmosphere, & friendly staff. Go with the croquetas & dulce de leche flan for a home run. All the entrees on the menu looked like winners & both we had were great. Not so good(I had to use that title because nothing was Bad): A little slow with drinks from the bar but not the end of the world. The Calzone app was just ok & the Nutella pizza needs a sugar cookie crust instead of the chewy pita type base. Would I eat here again? Yes!

    We went as a group of 15 for lunch with a reservation. Overall we hated this place. The restaurant was empty and yet the service was slow. They knew we were coming from a couple days before. Our waiter, Anthony, seemed more annoyed than anything that we were there to bother him. We asked for a drink during "happy hour" at the empty restaurant and were told that we could only order it from the bar. Finally we did get our happy hour drink at the table. However We had to basically beg for more drinks. The sangria was syrupy. The Nutella desert was burnt. We have all agreed never again. You would think the waiter would look forward to a large party and a proper tip. The only nice thing was the decor.

    I LOVE the saying Love is Blind but also the restaurant itself. It's a cozy, rustic chic, romantic vibe. I love the mismatched chairs, lighting, etc..just looks very quaint. They even have a section to put your phones away so you could be in the moment of the experience and company. Nice touch. I came here for lunch with one of my good friends. We were a little hesitant to try it, because it seems more like a date place. And she had plans to go here for date night with her boothang. But in the end, we couldn't resist. The place just looked so pretty and the menu to die for. The service was amazing. Our drinks were always refilled. She was patient with us since we were so indecisive of what to get. She offered us honest and great recommendations. One small thing she forgot was some oil and vinegar for our bread. First things first, we ordered 99 cent mimosas (only available before 3pm after that I believe it is $4 but I'm not sure). With your entrée you get a free appetizer. I ordered the steak and eggs with a three cheese calzone. The calzone which is made up of ricotta, brie and mozarella. It also came with a berry like sauce. I liked it but it tasted more like dessert. I probably should of stuck with my initial thoughts on getting the oyster bisque. My steak and eggs were cooked perfectly, the churassco like steak could have been a little more tender and flavorful but it was fine, still good. The sjxe of home fries were really good but had a spicy kick to it. My friend ordered the baked chicken with bacon cheddar mashed potatoes that she liked . She also liked her spinach and quinoa salad, which had strawberries and this incredible cheese (if I had to guess it was chunks of manchego). Overall, it was a lovely lunch. I would definitely come back here again. I loved everything about this place.

    I first went when it opened and loved it. its the same owners as Dolores/Lolita and crazy about you, so I knew what to expect. the menu prices are very affordable especially for such a high end area like merrick park. you can get wine by the glass or bottle for a great price. the croquetas are delicious as expected. the spinach and quinoa salad is crisp and refreshing. and the churrasco is a great choice as is the zucchini pasta. I have been for dinner and even a private party and always leave very happy with the food and ambiance. its a lively beautiful restaurant with great food options and very affordable prices. you cant go wrong!

    The good: The decor is very cute! Some tables (I say some because mine didn't have it) have a little box for you to put your cell phone in & enjoy your meal without interruptions :) cute or dorky? I think cute!! The bread came fast... it was a sponge type (forgive my lack of bread vocabulary), the waiter put olive oil & balsamic on a plate. The balsamic was very bitter so don't mix it like I did... put some salt on the olive oil & have it that way. The brunch menu... an appetizer is included with your entree (I thought this was genius!)... the ham & cheese croquettes were nice but are very tiny. The spinach strawberry avocado queso salad was nice (and big) but I think they show tone down on the amount of spinach. The chicken & waffles: 2 pieces of chicken (at first you think to yourself= 2 pieces?! It should be 3.... but when your done you'll say= "man I'm glad it wasn't 3! ) comes with bacon (which I don't eat & totally forgot to tell the waitress not to include it), waffles (good), and plenty of maple syrup (a big plus! you definitely won't have to ask for them to bring extra. Oh & it brings a side of patatas bravas which I think was a total waste because I didn't like them one bit! The bad: The waitress although very nice simply just took my utensils from my salad plate & put them on the table.... the student nurse in me was not gonna have it of course so when she left I just reached over to the table on the side & took new utensils. What do you guys think? Nasty or no big deal?

    We came here for brunch (group of 4) this place did not disappoint. The decor is so pretty. They have a lot to look at and they have quotes scattered on the walls. We were seated in a nook in the back. It was like we had our own private room. The server was top notch. He refilled our waters every few sips. Was quick with taking our orders and bring us our drinks. They have bread on the table, and he made us an olive oil and vinegar dip. On the table they have a box for you to put your cell phones in. It has a message on it explaining how you will enjoy each others company more. We took advantage of it. We all dropped our phones in and then immediately realized we would need them back when the food came so we can take pictures. We agreed on pictures only and posts would need to be later. We all had a good laugh on how technologically dependent we were. The mimosas were $4, not a bad price for Miami. I'm actually allergic to oranges and server suggested pineapple juice instead. I've had it this way before, so I was delighted to hear they offer this option. Those who ordered the bloody marys enjoyed the spicy kick. My one friend ordered a glas of orange juice and they gave her a mason jar filled. She said it was really good and they didn't skimp on the serving. I had the short ribs Benedict. Very good, eggs were perfectly poached. All of the dishes were served with their house potatoes. i found them to be spicy but the guys loved it. The chicken and waffles also came with bacon. The chicken was very juicy and the waffles perfectly fluffy. The pizza omelet was a nice surprise. We expected a pizza dough with eggs and something completely different came out. It was a nice surprise. Each dish came with an appetizer. The serving size of which could have been its own meal. The ham, croquets were good. They expected a lot of ham but it was a ham and cheese blend. The three cheese calzone was really good. It had ricotta, mozzarella, and brie. I especially loved the preserves it was served with. The spinach salad was also really fresh and had a great dressing. We had such a lovely brunch here and would definitely come back for another brunch and to try their dinner menu.

    In the endless search for somewhere to have brunch, you can definitely add this place as one of your options. In fact, you need to come here and try it out. Where to start? Ok, so the place looks elegant, very well decorated, and it just feels like a great place. Feels fancy, you know? So when you walk in you might feel like you're going to go bankrupt just for having an appetizer but relax! It's not that bad at all. For $18 you get an appetizer and an entree for brunch. The portions for brunch are huge! Just the appetizer alone gets you stuffed. I had the Prosciutto & Pesto Airbag (cuz I love prosciutto, i eat it like candy). My friends got the Croquetas and the Huevos Rotos (FYI...the croquetas are called "Maybe the best Serrano Ham Croquetas" and they're not that great...but the other stuff is!). Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The bonus here is that the mimosas are $4! Not bad considering a lot of places charge you anywhere from $25 to $35 for unlimited. Their sangria is awesome too. Sweet and refreshing! Service is great! Very attentive and helpful. Not a bad place to bring a large group of friends. They were able to seat us right away and in a pretty comfortable area. Definitely coming back here again and checking out the rest of the menu.

    DON'T come to this place! I have never received such poor service in my life. We went with a large group and from the moment we walked in to this empty establishment we were treated poorly. The food was undercooked and disappointing, the drinks tastes like watered down juice and the service was awful. Definitely never coming back. You will have a better time going to Yardhouse down the block.

    This is my second time visiting Love is Blind. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a modern/eclectic décor. The menu is unique in that the price includes the appetizer. The menu has different price categories depending on the entrée which you choose. We chose the churrasco and congri with a plantain mash. The steak was perfectly cooked and was tender and the sides were also delicious. As an appetizer we had the huevos estrallados which was amazing. The second appetizer we chose was the charcuterie which was nothing fancy, but was pretty good, but I would definitely order the croquetas which I had on my first visit. I ordered the ahi tuna and I was not a fan. They put too much cabbage and skimped on the tuna, but not to fear they more than made up with their mishap on the tuna. The dulce de leche flan was amazing. You can say I am a bit of a flan snob so I am very specific in what I feel makes a great flan and their dulce de leche flan is a winner. I will be back if just to try the velvety custard like flan once again.

    Well this is my first yelp review and I want it to be special. I came here to celebrate my high school graduation. I overall enjoyed the food and the place was so fabulous. My friend had the "I can't believe it's not pasta" which I took a bite from and it was very good. I chose the Kobe burgers because I always go with the "safe" food and I loved it. The fries I absolutely didn't like though. They were a bit stale or maybe even overcooked because they were difficult to chew on. Nothing too bad, it happens sometimes. In conclusion, I didn't give it the last star because the food didn't BLOW ME AWAY, it was..... Good. P.s. did I say how much I loved the decor. Haha.

    It's funny, as this was not a restaurant I wanted to go to. However, once there I recognized but this place has great, great potential. Prior to this restaurant it was once a sushi bar and since the structure is so large I think it made it very difficult for anyone to open any type of restaurant here. but, the folks at love is blind seem to put it together very very well. The service was very stellar and they were very polite. although I did feel very underdressed as the restaurant is decorated to a fine Spanish tradition. I was very happy to see that the menu actually catered to lighter fare. There are numerous items that were for the vegetarians and there was a large selection of salads. I ordered the zucchini spaghetti and I thought it was the best I ever had. It was locale low carb and yet filling. I also ordered the oyster bisque and I thought that would be hard to pull off as making any type of oyster soup is difficult. it was good, but it seemed more to taste like a leak and potato soup then oyster soup which I kind a light as oysters I don't think would make a real good bisque. Although a little pretentious, love is blind does have a big sister called Lolita, at Mary Brickel. so these people know what they're doing. I was very pleased with my lunch and their servers.

    I'm totally in love with the decor of this place...u will get major points if u take someone here on a date...just sayin' I wasn't on one but it was still a great atmosphere...the bar area/lounge was pretty packed for a thrusday night.. We tried the vegetables spring rolls and the zucchini linguini with salmon on vodka sauce...totally delish and very filling. The way they work the menu here is that the Entrees are divided into 4 which vary on prices..and each entree comes with an appetizer of your choice. Now, one thing that made this girl real happy..is that they carry moet chandon! By the glass!! Yay! So of course I treated myself to one $14 totally worth it . I saw a lot of birthdays being celebrated...and the place was packed by 9pm..reservations are highly suggested. Overall a great time, good food and nice ambiance.

To start off you are served foccaccia with olive oil, the attention to detail is endless, from the minute you walk in you know this is a special place, even if the food wasn't great but.... the food was amazing . Highly recommend it, we went back the same day for happy hour.

    I had my Birthday Brunch here on September 14th. I called to make a reservation, ahead of time for 10 people. When we arrived there were 8 of my guests present. We wanted to sit down and wait for the other two because they were going to drop in and join us later. I asked the hostess three times if we could please sit down and she kept telling me "no," even though our table was ready. I asked to speak to the manager and she was extremely pleasant. She allowed us to sit down with no problem and even tried to fix it by giving us a round of mimosas on the house. The food was excellent, I was very happy with the Trio Cheese Calzone as an appetizer and the Grilled Short Rib Benedict. They brought me an absolutely delicious coffee flan with a candle and I thought it was so cute!!! Our server was unfortunately in a bad mood and it showed. We asked her multiple times to please refill us on the mimosas and she would take 30 minutes to bring them out which I think is a bit excessive especially since our table was right next to the bar and I saw her lollygagging multiple times.. When the bill came, we all noticed that the server did not give us a "free" round of mimosas. We didn't say anything because since the bill was split between 6 people so it was only about $1 more per person since the mimosas are .99 cents. It wasn't worth our time to fix the bill, but it's still the principle of what happened. The only reason I gave them a three is for the rudeness from the hostess and for the charge of the not so "free" round of mimosas.

    Let me start by saying this is not my first time dining at love is blind but it has been the best experience thus far . Our waiter Cesar Pena ( I made sure to get his whole name , that's how impressed we were )provided " WOW" service he was so amazing he was friendly and very funny. He was very quick and showed great sense of customer urgency he came by our table quite a few times to check up on us . The drinks where out fast and the food was very good . I had the tuna tataki for appetizer which was incredible! For my main course I had the churrasco it was cooked to perfection . The fufu ( smashed sweet plantains) was so amazing ! And the Moro was to die for my dish was amazing all around ! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a nice intimate dining experience . And I will most definitely recommend Cesar as your waiter .

    Came here with a group for happy hour and had a blast. Half off all drinks except wine... Nothing to shake a stick at. Also, they do a more special where at 5pm glasses are $5, at 6 pm glasses are $6 ...etc. Great prices, they offer bar bites for cheap too! Try the croquettas- super yum! I'll be trying the mini calzones next time to satisfy my cheeseaholic status. Saw some brought out to other guests and they looked great. I'm pretty obsessed with the decor of the restaurant and the bartenders. Good location and inside it just looks like they paid great attention to detail- really inviting and warm. Love the whole aphrodisiac theme. The bartenders are adorable and extremely attentive. Ask for Cessie, she's a Mexican rapper with faboosh style and she's pretty awesome.

    A couple of birthdays ago I took my boyfriend to their sister restaurant, Crazy About You, and decided to try out Love Is Blind after seeing pictures of the beautiful decor and reading the wonderful reviews. In comparison to to Crazy About You, the food still receives 5 stats. It is the same menu and I noticed that the dishes was displayed be same at both restaurants. This isn't a bad thing at all-- the food is delicious and beautiful! The decor was lovely. However, we were originally sat in a crowded, noisy area. I think that's really where they lose a star. The tables are very close together (like a long bench with multiple tables along it) so it wasn't exactly intimate. I was close enough to the people next to us to take food from their plates. Eek! Thankfully, our server was kind enough to move us to a more secluded area. Another star is lost due to a miscommunication between the hostess and server. I had requested in my reservation to have a birthday dessert brought out at the end of our meal for my boyfriends birthday. I called to confirm my reservation and request a few hours before our dinner was to take place and the hostess told me she had already recieved the request via my initial reservation and we discussed what it would say and look like and everything. I was very disappointed when it didn't come out and our waiter just brought us the bill because I had no chance to remind him without it being obvious. That was a really important detail to me and I had made it clear multiple times, so there goes the 2nd star. Overall, a nice restaurant but that tables are way too close to each other. Sweet wait staff, but a tad bit forgetful. Didn't really get the "wow" experience I received at Crazy About You and left rather disappointed. I would not book this restaurant again.

    I absolutely love this place. The dinners are amazing. My fave was the chicken and waffle. The lunch menu is great and affordable for the quantity of food you get. On Friday nights they have a party and the dj is awesome. He plays old school, r&b, rock, latin, etc.... You won't stop dancing.

    We came for my best friends bday brunch. It wasn't our first choice but like usual everything in the vicinity had a 1-2 hour wait and we wee starving!!!! When we called to find out the wait time.. To our surprise, no one answered the phone. We decided to risk it and drive over without knowing. When we got there we were delayed to enter because the door was being used to deliver the food. they never really acknowledged us.. No one held the door for us.. We had to walk around the delivery employees and make our way through.. I felt like I was at dandy bear trying to make it to the jumping area lol. When we finally made it inside we understood why when we called no one answered.. There was no one there to answer the phone.. After like 5 minutes of waiting the young girl came from the back of the restaurant and helped us. We were seated in like 10 minutes not bad at all for the area average wait time. The food was good not great. I've had the same better in the area. The place is nice inside but it had an odd odor. Which was the topic of conversation for the entire time there. We weren't able to pin point where the odd smell was coming from.. Either the plants in the front desk or the delivery of food transactions that went on the entire time while we were there. I assume there is no back door but maybe they should consider doing the delivery really early in the morning.

    I have been here before but tonight has been an amazing birthday experience. Our server Ceasar from Colombia was ABSOLUTELY amazing. We started to make conversation with him and were intrigued to find out just how truly amazing he was. I travel through the three restaurants, but he makes it a lot easier to come back here. Love is blind is lucky to have him. We will definitely be back to see you Ceasar. Thank you for an amazing start to my birthday night.

    I went to Love is blind for the first time and I LOVED IT! We made a reservation at 8:30pm and we arrived earlier than expected (7:50 pm) and they seated us immediately. The waiter was very knowledgable about the menu and explained to us where the dishes came from. The wine was amazing and it was only $5 for a glass or $15 for the bottle! The manager passed by our table to greet us and to make sure everything was going well. The food was amazing; I ordered the baked chicken with mashed potatoes & it was definitely mouthwatering. The restaurant is so high end and beautifully designed you'd expect to pay high prices but that's definitely not the case.

    This restaurant has a lot of potential. The ambience is nice the DJ was good and our server was polite. In fact I have been at this restaurant soon after they opened and had I written this review then it would've been a much higher rating. It seems that Hialeah found out about this restaurant and the patrons look like they stepped right off the banana boat into the dining room. That aside my appetizer of fried green tomatoes was delicious but my entrée was unremarkable.

    This restaurant can be described in one word: FUN! I visited with some friends on a rainy Friday night. I was happy they had valet parking available ($8). The restaurant decor is sexy and whimsical all at once. Oversized lighting fixtures and soft candles everywhere set the mood from the second I walked in. The restaurant is large and (from what I remember) divided into three distinct dining spaces. There is also a very active bar and wine room that sits about 14 guests. Our very friendly and cheerful waiter was on top of things. He came over to introduce himself immediately and begin taking our orders for the night. The menu is set at three different price ranges (dictated by your entree- $17.99, $ 21.99, $ 24.99). All three prices include an appetizer and dessert as well. The restaurant is by the same owners of "Dolores but you can call me Lolita" and "Crazy about you." I think this one is perhaps the biggest and strongest of the three. The food is not stellar but it IS good. At least, good enough to warrant a return visit. I don't think they take themselves very seriously. Despite the decor, it is still a very casual place. In typical Miami fashion, you will see most women and men dressed to the nines but also the usual people in caps, tees and flip flops. These are the courses we sampled: Strawberry Baby Spinach & Quinoa Salad- very fresh and perfectly seasoned. The quinoa is a nice plus. Trio Cheese Calzone- Loved loved loved this! I could have easily had 4 of them. It's the perfect amount of dough/cheese ratio. They use ricotta, mozzarella and goat cheese. The small salad and dressing it comes with is simple but also very good. Serrano Ham Croquettes- I have had these before at "Crazy about you" and they never disappoint. (Not better than Michy's croquetas though) Red Shrimp Pappardelle- This was creamy and obnoxiously decadent. (read: delicious) However, I was surprised they left the shrimp tail on. These are not salad shrimp that are softly placed atop. These are mixed with the heavy sauce of the pappardelle. It was very unpleasant to have to bite into that and I found out the hard way. BBQ Baby Back Ribs- Did not try these but our friend was very happy with it. Nutella Pizza- I found this to be too simple and blah. A 5 year old can make this. Then again, I don't care for Nutella. Had it been a dulce de leche pizza then we would be talking! Dulce de Leche Flan- Speaking of, this flan rocked! We actually had to leave in a hurry to make a movie and I kept going back to the table to take several more bites. This, coming from a flan snob. I am very picky about the flan consistency and this one was perfectly creamy and obviously doused in dulce de leche (inside and out). We brought our own wine and they charge a modest $16 corkage fee. They do have a wine list but nothing that I particularly love. This worked out better for us. Their water is served in recycled wine bottle glasses. We even wanted to buy some! Our waiter was fantastic all night. He did not skip a beat with my questions and requests. I admit, I can be a little intense at times but he broke me down with his sunny disposition! I made sure to tell management all about it too. As a side note: the bathrooms have dental flood and even mouthwash. Ha! They thought of everything! Overall, I had a wonderful time. I look forward to returning and trying other things from their menu.

    Made a reservation for 4 (2 couples). The churrasco was not even edible. The waiter was inattentive, rude and as short as possible. The atmosphere is nice for merely a drink, but nothing more. Won't be going back.

    After looking endlessly at different places to have my birthday brunch, I decided on Love Is Blind based on that I had had a drink there maybe a year before and it was beautifully decorated. I went online and made a reservation for 9 for last Sunday afternoon at 1pm. From here out, let me just tell you the good, the bad, and the ugly. The good: Love Is Blind is very stylishly decorated. The neighborhood is great, and I thought parking was going to be a problem but my whole party found spots just outside of the restaurant without a problem. You also can't knock the value of the brunch menu, one appetizer, one entree for $18, plus $4 sangrias and mimosas. Most of our appetizers were fantastic. The oyster soup was fantastic, the cheese calzone was to die for, and the egg, bacon, potato thing was great too. The bad: I think maybe our server was having a bad day. She didn't really greet us with a smile on her face, her manner seemed really scattered. We tried to engage her but she wasn't really having it. At one point someone at my table ordered another Bloody Mary and she brought two out. When we pointed out her mistake she sighed and just took the drink away. The appetizer spring rolls tasted like something I could get at Applebee's. When the entrees came everyone got there's except for my boyfriend who ordered the hangover sandwich. That entree came like 15 minutes later. Also, our entrees weren't that great. The hangover sandwich was poorly made and just tasted like a regular ham sandwich, the chicken and waffles were dry, my dad's steak and eggs had the steak basically raw (he asked for medium and it was definitely rare) and it took almost 30 minutes from the moment the server took his plate to have it fixed for it to come back out. In the same plate she took it back from, still covered in blood. And the potatoes were soft, mushy, and cold. The ugly: The process of being sat here took much longer than I thought it should. The restaurant was empty except for a baby shower at the back. 4 people from my party arrived at 12:45pm (reservation was for 1) and they wouldn't seat them. I kind of understand this. I arrived (with 3 others) at 1pm and they still wouldn't seat us until everyone was there. Finally at about 1:10 everyone from my party was at the restaurant and we still didn't get sat until 1:30. I had to ask two different times what the issue was and the hostess had the same response "uhh it'll be just a moment!", except it wasn't. It was frustrating because some of my party had been waiting for almost an hour to eat. We were all hungry! I could understand this if the place was packed but it wasn't. At all. And what's the point of making a reservation if it doesn't really matter to the restaurant anyway? Overall I like Love Is Blind, I think it's a cute date place and I wouldn't mind going again with a much smaller party (just me and someone else) but it wouldn't be for the food. Maybe just the appetizers.

    Ate here on a Friday night, Barbie was my waitress and she was spectacular! She went up and above at every turn. Do yourself the favor and get the croquettes and the house wine is alright, but just get a better glass it's worth the extra money. Definitely ask for Barbie though and make sure you tip her what she deserves!

    Went to love is blind for their Sunday brunch yesterday and it's safe to say the entire experience left me never wanting to visit again. I made a reservation for 10 & 2 high chairs a few days before for 1:00. When i got there all but two members of my party were there so I asked the hostess if we can be sat and that we would be 11 ppl. She told me to give her a minute and she'll set up the table. The restaurant was half empty with a baby shower happening in the back private room. The hostess walked back and forth for at least 20 minutes looking extremely flustered before approaching me and asking if I was "in charge". I replied yes and she then told me that since we were over 8 ppl we would have to choose 4 apps & 4 entrees for the entire table to share. I immediately told her no that's not an option because everyone wanted different things. She told me that was their policy for parties over 8. Which is funny because I should have been told that when I initially made the reservation, not 30 minutes after I have been standing there with two toddlers and ten people waiting to be seated. I asked for the manager and he repeated the same thing which I told him was not an option. How about you just seat is at two separate tables next to each other. Simple right?? Nope. After another 15 minutes of back and forth, they finally agreed to seat is but would stagger the service (take our orders ten minutes apart) so his servers didn't get overwhelmed. Apparently they are extremely understaffed if two servers can't handle 11 people. Does the restaurant only seat 4 people every hour?? It made no sense. Also the 99 cent mimosas are no longer all day. They are from 10-12. Had I know that I would have gone to Town or Rokbrgr instead. Needless to say it was downhill from there. We went twenty minutes with no water or bread. Ordered drinks that never came or had to order them twice. Our food came out 45 minutes after we sat down. And the cherry on top was I checked my credit card this morning to find they charged the incorrect amount on there. The management never apologized once and only cared about the kitchen being overwhelmed (with an empty restaurant) and not with the level of service provided to the guests. This is my last and final visit to live is blind. No matter how delicious the food is, service comes first and Brunch was a disaster!!

    Came for a big wedding rehearsal dinner and it definitely surpassed my expectations. I have gone to Lolita and Crazy About You, but never here. First of all, the place is super beautiful. It's like a nice, romantic, but at the same time kind of cozy environment. The decor is also really detailed and different. Being that it was so many of us, we had a prefixed menu, but it couldn't have been any better. Waiters were extremely helpful, friendly and attentive. Kindly suggested drinks for us, and offered a great service overall. Will definitely be back. I truly recommend!

  • Lissete D.

    I absolutely love the decor of this place. Everything is so cute and sparkling clean. We went in for lunch on a weekday and practically had the place to ourselves. Our server was absolutely excellent! He was friendly, informative & efficient. Everything that you want from a server. Especially on your first visit. The food was good. They have a nice lunch menu plus one lunch special daily for $10. Hubby had the special chicken cordon bleu with the oyster bisque to start. I had the short rib served with sweet plantain mash and the croquettes. The short rib was tender and tasty. The croquettes were good. You can tell that they are house made. The portions are small. This is perfect for me. Even then, I still left some for my husband. Probably because I wanted to save room for dessert. In this case, Nutella Pizza. Can't go wrong with Nutella, berries & bananas. All in all, we had a good lunch with excellent service and reasonable prices. I wouldn't hesitate in returning. Plus it looks like a great venue to host an event, like a bridal shower, birthday party, etc.

    You'll find pretty much the same standards as Dolores and Crazy about you, although I think Dolores is better. The food was pretty good, nothing spectacular that would make me run back. The croquetas were very good, as we're the fried artichokes. The salmon zucchini pasta thing left a bit to be desired. Went on a Monday night and it was absolutely empty. The positives? Beautiful decor, nice ambience, and very cost effective. If you want to try it, I'd get there fast because I don't suspect it'll last very long (everything on this corner doesn't seem to make it).

    So.. just got back from dinner at Love is Blind and even though I have not reviewed another restaurant in about a year, I had to log on to Yelp and let you guys know what I thought. Everything. was. delicious. I ordered the plate called, "I can't believe it's not pasta", which is a Zucchini pasta with salmon in a Grey Goose vodka sauce. It was to die for. As an appetizer, I had the ham croquettes which were also very, very good. The service was very fast and attentive. The atmosphere inside is cozy. We sat outside and even then, the seats are set-up in a way where you feel like you're in a little private corner reserved just for you. I really had a great experience and I recommend you go. It's a great place for a date.

    This place is adorable! I think it's perfect for a baby shower or wedding shower. My boyfriend and I went on a Sunday for brunch and it was yummy. They had a special going on for mimosas and sangria that made it hard to resist. Also, they had the option of one appetizer and one entree for only 17 bucks! The service was great and the good was good, not great, but the Serrano croquetas are definitely a go! Try em out!

  • Kebrina M.

    This place is super cute - beautiful decor and warm, romantic ambiance. I would say it makes for a magical first date. I also recommend the happy hour. I went there with my girl friend; we sat at the bar during happy hour and had as many drinks as we could before 9 p.m. (which, may I add, is an awesome happy hour cut-off. I hate when happy "hour" ends at freaking 6 p.m. I can't even get a decent buzz in just an hour.) The cocktails maybe weren't the best I've had (says the at-home mixologist,) but they were nice and strong. However we balanced with water and dinner to not get sh*tfaced. It's not that kind of place. And, we're classy broads. Oh, the food is pretty good also.

    Came for lunch at 11:45 decided to give this place another try after an unpleasant previous experience. Not only were we the only two customers in the restaurants it took well over 15 min to bring a glass of wine to the table. The lunch menu is u clear and the service is awful. Needless to say, last visit here.

    I would usually join my girlfriends for happy hour here. They have this amazing deal where the champagne is $5 at 5pm $6 at 6pm and so on. The croquettes are amazing! The staff is friendly and accommodating. I do believe they also have appetizer specials. Overall great time, food and drinks.

  • Mrs. D M.

    First, I'd like to say that I have visited both of the other sister restaurants, Dolores Don't Call... And Crazy About You. Honestly, I wasn't crazy about either. I think the food at both places was average and nothing worth going back for. So what made me want to try this location? The atmosphere and location were a big draw-in. Here are my thoughts: Service: My husband and I were very pleased. We had a waiter and waiter-in-training, who consistently checked on us. The manager stopped by twice as well. Very pleased. 5 stars on service last night. 4 Stars Food: They have the same concept as other 2 locations: 3 price options ($21, $25 and $31 I believe), and you pick an entree and appetizer under each. We had the Spinach/Quinoa salad (average, but a healthy choice) Oyster Bisque (really good, but may be too salty for some), Seabass (well prepared, but cream sauce unnecessary) and Sea Salted Salmon (very well prepared, but the tomato salsa on the side was way too pungent and garlicky for the dish). Brownie dessert was awesome! 3 Stars Atmosphere: we went in the evening, so it was dim. But we loved the decor and may come back to check out the bar next time. 4 Stars Overall, we liked it and may try it again on a weekday date night. More of a romantic but not too fancy atmosphere, in our opinion.

    I was extremely impressed with this restaurant. Our group wanted to go somewhere new and wanted a diverse menu, so we came to Love is Blind. We made our reservations online with Open Table for four people at 9:45PM on Saturday night. Making reservations was easy, and let's face it, in Miami anywhere you go you have to wait at least an hour so I loved that they took reservations. Our friends got to Love is Blind at about 9:30 and they checked in with the hostess. The table wasn't ready so they went to the bar to get some drinks. My husband and I got there at 9:40 and the table wasn't ready (which was fine by us), so we went to the bar to join our friends for drinks. We ordered a couple of rounds of champagne - which by the way has an awesome happy "hours" special on Moet Chandon Imperial. Prices below: 5PM - $5 6PM - $6 7PM - $7 8 PM - $8 9PM - $9 10PM - $10 At the bar they gave us some popcorn to munch on while we were sipping on our drinks, which was a nice touch. At 10PM the hostess apologized to us that our table wasn't ready and bought us a round of drinks. My group was in shock with the great and generous service by the hostess since it was only 15 minutes past our reservation. The hostess, really exceeded our expectations!! The bartender was very sweet and attentive. At about 10PM we sat down for dinner. I started off with the Ham croquettes which were heavenly!! They were so good, I wish there was a bakery that I can order them from on a daily basis!! I have had a lot of croquettes in my life and these are BY FAR, THE BEST!! My husband ate the Trio of Cheese Calzone and liked it. I was able to steal a piece from him and it was also VERY good!! (although I prefer my croquettes). For dinner I had the Braised Steak Brasatto. The steak and egg were perfectly cooked (egg was not runny) and the combination of garbanzo and mushroom marsala was like something I had never eaten! Others in my group got the Tuna Tartar and the Filet Mignon and they couldn't stop talking about how good it was. For desert, we shared a Nutella pizza which was good, but nothing out of this world. I would have preferred more Nutella , strawberries and banana, and although I have had better, it was very tasty. Overall, a surprisingly WONDERFUL experience and great ambiance!! Tips: Make reservations, do not valet since there are many metered spots located in and around the block, GET THE HAM CROQUETTES and if you have every been to Lolita or Crazy About You, the menu is very similar, but I find that Love is Blind has better service and food.

    What an amazing night we had. I'm glad I picked it for our valentine's day outing. The food was delicious from the caprese sald served in what looked liked a wine glass to my boyfriends brick oven roasted chicken yum. The service was great! Thank you Monica for being so attentive. And talk about exceeding guest expectations Thank you Cesar for printing out our valentine's day event tickets! Such a cute romantic little spot in the gables. Will definitely be coming back.

    We had such a wonderful experience at the baby shower that we hosted today. From the start of planning this event, Guillermo was extremely helpful and thorough at answering all of our questions and making wonderful suggestions to make this event a success. Today, The hostesses and all of the servers were so kind and seemed to really enjoy cateri g to our guests. The food was delicious, the ambience was amazing and the service was above and beyond what we could have expected or hoped for. Caesar did a great job of overseeing the event and making sure that every detail was attended to. Jordan provided excellent service to every single one of our guests-they were both so attentive and courteous. We look forward to dining there many more times in the future and plan on bringing family and friends to enjoy this wonderful experience!

    Went for the first time to celebrate Valentine's on the 16th with wife. The ambient really set the right mood for special night. I can really say that they marked the difference with all the little details and special attention. The waiter Steven gave great service! Was attentive the whole time not just at the end like others. One of the managers ceaser was also very attentive and gave us great insight. The food portions were just right, not too much not too little. It had great taste! It was unique. The dessert is a whole experience! The intended hole restaurant was an experience!

    Came here for dinner and had a lovely time. The restaurant is decorated so romantically, candles burning everywhere, old books scattered throughout the place, dim lighting and love quotes displayed on the ceiling. Perfect for a date. The menu is set up just like Dolores, which is you haven't been it is set up with three different price options, all groups include an appetizer. The food was all very good, we were stuffed by the meals end. We ordered a bottle of wind (which is half off on Wednesdays) and it was perfect for our table. I am taking one star away for the valet. When we arrived all he said was "pay now please". It was so rude and unusual. Usually you pay when you collect your car, not when you drop it off - it was a turn off. I took off another star because after the meal two if us ordered an espresso shot and it took over half an hour to get to the table. It was rediculous. The server told us he couldn't put in the coffee order till after the desert was brought to the table. Sounded like he forgot about it altogether. In any event, it was a nice experience and I would come back. It's located right behind merrick park so it's nice to walk around after eating.

    This was our second visit to love is blind. The decor is absolutely amazing! There is a great atmosphere and makes for some nice pictures. The drink selection is pretty good, they have some amazing cocktails. Bourbon drinkers would like the sex on fire, has great flavor! The food is also fantastic! The chicken and waffles is a new addition and its the best in town. This gives Kush a run for their money. The service was unusually slow this evening, we were waiting most of the evening on our server to come over, which is preventing me from the five stars.

Loved it Thank you!

    Love Is Blind has been on my list to try for a while now so when my coworker chose this restaurant to celebrate her BDay I was totally looking forward to it. We arrived at a quarter past noon and the restaurant was quite empty. The server was friendly and accommodating. To drink I ordered the heartbreaker and it was DELICIOUS, mango, tequila & prosecco, my 3 favorite things all in one. The lunch specials were reasonably priced for the restaurant and area we were at. It brought an appetizer which I choose croquetas which were amazing. For my main course I hand the skinny Lolita chicken with fries. The fries were fantastic and the chicken was ok nothing to say wow. The desserts were nothing out of this world. We shared the nutella pizza and the brownie but they were both very dry and flavorless. The rest of the group was not satisfied with their meals. They each had some type of complaint. Whether it was the food or slow service. But what do you expect for such a big party of 8 whining women. I don't recommend this place for large parties but instead for a nice romantic dinner with a friend or significant other. I look forward to giving it another try with my boyfriend in the future.

He stated he would get us a table in a moments notice & indeed he did from ordering drinks @ the scenery bar to sitting us down for Dinner A+++ by the way.

    Okay, so I went to LIB for brunch this past Sunday and I absolutely loved it!! They had unlimited .99 mimosas so of course I started calling the waiter Linus :) I had the Pizza Oven Baked Omelet with cheddar, spinach, and bacon. I can honestly say it was the best omelet I have had in my life. It was so full of flavor and it was cooked perfectly. The brunch entree also came with an appetizer, I chose the Serrano ham croquettes. Personally, I did not care for them. There was not a hint of Serrano ham flavor and it was way too creamy for my taste (2 of 4 people in my group liked them though so it is simply ones taste preference). I will be going back and soon!!!

    This review is based wholly on a terrible service experience.. So I go to this place on a Sunday night around 8:45pm and the restaurant is basically empty except for another table with a party of 3 and let them know that we're a party 17 and would like to sit together. They have a private room but apparently, per the manager, they couldn't stay us there because they didn't have a waiter for that area.. Once again, there were literally 3 other people in the whole restaurant! The manager is the same guy from the night before when I hosted a party of about 40 at the sister restaurant crazy about you in Brickell.. At any rate, we end up being seated. Try placing an order for a pizza as an additional appetizer and the waiter insist that we don't. We explain to him we are familiar with the way their menu works but we'd still like an additional pizza as an appetizer. Who's paying here, last I checked it wasn't the waiter..?? Next I tell him I'm not eating and he tells us there's a $10 charge for sharing. No biggie, except I let him know, I'M NOT EATING!! He continues blabbing about the $10 "sharing" fee. Once again, no big deal, if I was going to share.. I tell him again " I jugs had dinner just hosting some friends from out of town". By this point I'm pretty annoyed and call the manager basically to get this waiter in check and manager comes over with the same attitude.. Not sure if this was a fluke in the service but I will not be coming back to this establishment and will not be recommending this place to anyone based on my last experience there.

    My husband and I went to love is blind to celebrate our 2year wedding anniversary, we were not disappointed. To start with we had an amazing waiter, that explained everything on the menu to us (our first time there). Our waiters name was Manny, if your thinking of eating there ask for him! The food was also amazing!!!! Manny helped us pick the perfect dish. We will definitely be back!

    The two star is not for the food, the food was good and my waiter was amazing! But I wish I could say the same for the hostess. My friend and I were seating side by side (mind you we are both petite women) because she was showing me some pictures, at which time the hostess not in a very nice matter said to us "You have to get up and move because these people are going to be seating here (btw, here was the table next to us)... I guess the couple felt embarrassed for us because they said not to move... We called the Manager and she was very apologetic and professional.

    As I walked in to the restaurant there was no one at the front, I waited a minute or so an decided to sit on my own. The restaurant was almost empty for lunch time. The hostess walked past me and didn't even say hi or if I needed help. After sitting at the table for 10 minutes without anyone coming to attend me, I went to speak to the hostess which then told me that wasn't the sitting area, mind you she past right by me without telling me anything. The food wasn't great I had a Cuban New York sandwich which a bit on the dry side and on top of that the fries tasted like they were fried with old oil. With that being said, I am never coming again.

    New favorite Coral Gables restaurant!!! The same great and reasonably priced menu that we have come to expect from Crazy and Delores -- where else can you get a glass of Cab for $5.00? This menu starts with Pizza at $17.99 with the highest price point at $32.00 all of which includes killer appetizers like the famous serrano ham croquettes and (my favorite) fire rosted artichokes. My husband ordered the Chilean Sea Bass which was up there with the best we've had. The Skinny Lolita was delicious - chicken breast (slightly dry) pounded down to the size of a pita and topped with sautéed veggies. The Passion Restaurant Group has a very lucrative and wildly successful concept for dining that continues to Wow us here in Miami. Great friendly service and closer for those of us living in Pinecrest or the Gables.

    A Must-Try where I will definitely be returning! Love Is Blind is the best yet from the owners of Dolores and Crazy About You. The decor and ambience are cool and trendy while still being welcoming. The menu is the same concept as the other two big sister restaurants. Tiered Fixed price ($18, $21, $25) menus that includes an appetizer. The croquettes are on the menu too, but were beaten out in the race for best appetizer by the delicious oyster bisque. The calamari was also very good. Every single plate in my table of 9 was great! The Love is blind risotto leaves your taste buds longing for more! The pizza calabrese, the BBQ duck pizza and the kobe beef sliders were also extremely pleasing! And you must try the Nutella pizza for dessert!!!!! The service and attention were above par too. For the price, quality, service and ambiance, you can't beat it!

    From the sayings painted along the recesses in the ceiling, the great decor and fun intimate lighting to the easy to understand menu and friendly staff, this place is definitely one I will return to! I love the menu concept- one price includes an appetizer and an entree of your choice with three different levels to choose from, ranging between twenty and thirty bucks. Their house wine was really good and the flan for dessert- not only delicious but an amazing price at three bucks! I had the zucchini noodles with the salmon, soooo yummy and perfect for those carb conscious or with gluten issues. Perfect for a fun and reasonably priced date night!

    I came on a Tuesday night, when I arrived it was pretty packed. We were waiting for the rest of our party to arrive for our reservations at 9. We sat at the bar, it was still happy hour and the bartender was very helpful and attentive recommending drinks for me and my friends. They sat our party of 20 down in the back room and attended to us right away. It was our waiters first night on the job, he was a little lost but very nice and attentive. As an appetizer I ordered the croquettes, and as my entree the Veal Churrasco. The croquettes were amazing and my meal was great. The portions are very big. Overall my experience was great, and the atmosphere was very nice.

    The place is absolutely beautiful. If I could live there, I would. There are candles everywhere, beautiful drapery, words on walls... Stunning. The food was just as good as their other two restaurants. I had the croquettes, of course- which are to die for! And my dinner was the steak with an egg on top. The steak was tender and flavorful and absolutely delicious. My waiter was a bit strange, but he was attentive. I can't wait to go back!

    Visiting on friday for their happy happy till 9. Great strong drinks and apps were delicious. We had the croquettes and the plate of meats and cheese. All good. Ended up staying for dinner. Food was excellent. Only beef was service. Slow bartenders. Took forever to get refills. At dinner took ten minutes for a hello and introduce himself. Place needs a strong manager to shape staff into shape. Otherwise excellent.

    This place really speaks for itself. The decor is interesting and unique, the food is creative and delicious, the bar is very large with a good drink list, service was first class, street parking is easy enough to find at night but valet is also available... just so many positive qualities about this place. Definitely a highly recommended place. The only thing I wasn't impressed with was our seating. It was one of those two-tops that makes it easier to talk to the neighboring table than it does your date. Not a great setup for a noisy space, but they've gotta pack people in there somehow. If I were to go back I'd definitely try for a table outside. Wait at the bar if you need to.

    I LOVE this place! The prices are reasonable and the food is tasty. I have been here about 4 times within the last 3 weeks and I live pretty far so it has to be good enough for me to drive the distance. The only reason why I don't give it a 5 star rating is because it is very noisy. If you want a romantic date then asked to be seated outside. Enjoy!

  • Rob L.

    Great atmosphere and decor. Great cocktails at the bar. Food was pretty great too, interesting menu. I would go again. I was turned off by the 10 dollar sharing charge, because one meal here comes with an appetizer and is perfect for sharing.

    I can't pinpoint anything specific, but somehow this restaurant never came together for me. The wine selection is mid sized, but no really good bottles. Food is similar. For some an eclectic menu might be attractive, but pairing is a little chaotic with the available choices...

    We live by the gables and heard about this new restaurant. We have gone to Dolores several times and thought it would be just as good. Last week we went to this restaurant, gave the keys to the valet who waiting for us and entered. The atmosphere was quite lovely and the waiters were very attentive but we left pretty soon. The rice tasted like it was from the day before and the meat was cold. We payed and we left. We might come back only because of the man at the valet, who was quite charming and attentive.

    This review is long overdue. We went 6/29/13. I must start with the decor. It's beautiful!!! You first walk in and it's looks like a shrine. There are candles all through out but, the entrance is overload, now I use overload in a good way. Somewhat like kids use now in days the words sick, ridiculous...it's beautiful if I may say again. That immediately sets the tone to the experience. I had set up a dinner party for roughly 30 for my moms birthday. The only thing I would've loved is if they're was a private room but not enough to knock down a star because everything else surpassed my experience. The food was amazing!!! The croquettes so silky literally melt in your mouth (I don't use that to often). We also had the spinach salad and the cheese calzones. All very good but the croquettes are memorable. As an entree we had the salmon a la sal something like that and a veal shank with strawberry risotto. It was all divine and the service was amazing. The servers were there all the time anyone needed a refill or anything. We took a cake and they were kind enough to cut it and pass it out as well as remove $2/pp off the bill. Weird but nice! Oh, I totally almost forgot that the chefs came out say hi to us and to wish my mother a very happy birthday. It was awesome! Would do it again any day!

  • Private A.

    This review is just shy of 5 stars across the board due to bad seating and an entree that missed the mark. I requested seating away from families with children and or groups but wound up sandwiched between two large groups. My seat was in a high traffic area for the servers who had to frequently pass behind and around me to get to their tableware storage area making it impossible to relax. My wife had the Caprese Martini appetizer paired with the Gnocchi Bolgenese Cassarole-she loved them both. I had the Asian Vegetable Spring Rolls with the Pizza Calabrese. The spring rolls were outstanding, among the best I have ever had. The pizza however was all sliced sausage and very little sauce or cheese. It was dry and bland, I left two slices uneaten something I have never done before with a pizza. Our server offered to change it for something else and without me even complaining about it, the Manager took it off my bill because she was told I didn't like it. Classy move! This kind of gesture has all but vanished in modern Miami area restaurants and has earned my customer loyalty. I can't count how many restaurants I have only tried once for one reason or another and never went back, but because I was treated like a VIP by our server and the manager; I will be back to try something else.

    The food was quite good, and the decor and atmosphere was top notch. Unfortunately we had a poor experience with our waiter, he initially refused to serve my European friends alcohol without a passport. This is an absurd policy in an international city like Miami, a European ID should be accepted form of ID for something as trivial as a glass of wine. They tried to tell him it was fine and he said "excuse me let me finish telling you why we won't serve you". Very rude, the remainder of the dinner he proceeded to rush us through everything, acting very annoyed and not friendly at all. His presentation of the bill was him simply dropping the check on the table and walking away. The rude service was a dark cloud over what would have been an enjoyable dining experience, the food was a solid 3 stars for the price, service was a 1.

    This was the last out of the three sister restaurants that I visited. One of my best friends had a private party here for her birthday. Ambiance: Also very romantic concept like its sisters Crazy About You, & Lolitas. Food: It was a pre-fixe menu, which included 2 apps, 2 entrees, and a dessert, plus my best friend brought a birthday cake. I was pretty much stuffed by the end of the meal & I enjoyed everything I had. Service. Our server was friendly & funny and the whole staff took care of us since it was a large group of 20 of us. I love all these restaurants & would deff recommend for everyone to try at least one of them.

    One of my go to spots for any event. I've celebrated many birthdays here (including mine). The service is always amazing. The waiting staff is very helpful with the menu, and will always share their personal favorites and recommendations if you ask them. They will also do something special if you're celebrating anything. Although the service is great, the food is really why I keep coming back. First, there are 3 set prices and each price includes an appetizer & entree per person. I highly recommended the croquettas & huevos rotos! Trust me, you'll thank me later. I suggest you and your friends order a different appetizer and share so you all get a chance to try a few different ones. They are open for lunch, dinner, and have brunch on the weekends. They also have great happy hour specials, but it's limited to the bar area only.

    I so rarely write a Negative Review, but the date that was ruined on this can not be excused. Up front I made reservations a week in advance, once I arrive I explicitly asked for a romantic table, or as close as they could as this was a special occasion. As I waited at the bar, I saw the bartenders handling the fruit (tangerine slices) with their bare hands and was grossed out. I couldn't believe what they were doing, I almost was going to take a video of it. What did I get, a table that rocked side to side so bad, it was embarrassing. After waiting for ever (this place was all but empty at 7 on a Saturday, what does that tell you) I nicely explained to my waiter our issue. He said he could get something to put under the table. I asked nicely just to be reseated. With the place all but empty, he told me no tables were available. After I pressed, what did he do, sat us at the last table right by the Kitchen, the heat, the noise. I flat got the impression he was punishing me for disrupting him. Date Ruined. The food quality has gone way down. The Chilean Bass, in a milky white not presentable , my churrasco steak was ok, but the bowl of brown rice was dry and uninviting. And only 1 dessert on the Menu ? I can't remember when I had to review this bad, but I just prey no one else falls into the bad night I had here. Never again will I visit this place. It has gone way downhill

    Having a dog-friendly hostess will always get an extra star from me (oh and there's dog friendly terrace seating too, for future reference!) I haven't socialized around the Gables in a while, so when I found myself for an extended amount of time in the Merrick Park area while my car was with the Best Mechanic Ever (see my review: yelp.com/biz/tires-plus-… ) I used my Yelp Mobile app and found my way to Love is Blind. Walking in just before they officially opened, the hostess allowed me to sit inside early and start off with their crispy, crumbly bread with balsamic vinegar and a glass of water. Ninety-Nine cent very loaded Mimosas before noon. Tell me that's not a reason to go early to brunch! I do mean loaded, not the watered down mess other restaurants try to pass off as mimosas. As I've said before, I judge brunch places on their Eggs Benedict and L.I.B. didn't disappoint. Served all modern like in a skillet with an order of spicy patatas brava, the short ribs had delicious hints of sweet. They contrasted nicely with the warm, meaty serrano ham croquetas that came complementary with my entree. Heck, I even left room for their nutella pizza. Do I really need to elaborate about a thin crust pizza with nutella spread and fruits? Buen provecho, you're welcome!

    Love is blind is really an amazing restaurant in a very sexy neighborhood of coral gables. The location is very close to a major outside mall in south Miami and it is very well thought out. Every major detail of the restaurant in and out is with purpose. Valet and public parking is available without concern. As you enter the restaurant love is sprinkled all over the place. You can choose to sit the main area or you can sit in the tables next to the windows or if the weather permits they got a few tables outside. The menu is again well thought out and they have 3 different types of menus to choose from. We had the zucchini salmon which you would think is pasta but isn't and the tuna tacos both the dishes were very well cooked. If you are looking for something different this is the place to take your loved ones!!!!

    Where do I start, this place was incredible! Me and my boyfriend where really excited to visit. In celebration of our two year anniversary we chose a place different and with a lot to offer, and we sure landed in such a marvelous place to share in each others company. Steve made it special for us and completed our night with a "Happy 2nd" dulce de leche flan with hearts and all. We where thrilled. This place is a must visit, very unique :)

    First time going and I really didn't know what to expect, our server approached us and gave us a very informative description of the menu and recommended us great appetizers and entrees. Every bite was just amazing, that Nutella pizza...AMAZING! Had outstanding service like never before I think his name was Stephen which reminded me and my friends of Mario Lopez! Total cutie! Anyways the place is great over all!

    Ok for all the haters who think this restaurant is so cheesy sounding... Your loss :) I honestly do not know if love is blind or not however I do know my own vision is bad and with age it will get worse. Ok now to the positive: I wanted to go here for one of my bday dinners (everyday is almost my bday celebration this month) and this restaurant did not disappoint. 5 stars all around with hearts around them please. 1. I loved the atmosphere and the whole seating area is gorgeous. They have awesome table options of booths and tables. With indoor and outdoor seating. They have pretty candles, quotes and lamps all around. The restaurant is very clean and contemporary looking. 2. Service was impeccable. Our server Josie was awesome and explained everything on the menu. She didn't rush us or took to long. She asked after every course how we enjoyed our food. She truly was a delight and really made our evening wonderful. 3. Food. The reason why we went there was the menu and the many options they had. I was boring and ordered vegetable spring rolls for my appetizer. And they were delicious. Sam was the adventurous soul who ordered asparagus with egg on top and cheese and a marinara type of sauce. His appetizer was uniquely good but I liked my spring rolls more. For dinner I went for a safe choice again of tuna tacos, which were really good. However I admit Sam's dinner of: its not pasta (zucchini and salmon) was tantalizing. The sauce of his dish was scrumptious with notes of lemon, cheese, pesto etc which made it very flavorful. 4. Dessert. We ended up getting the American Dream. That was a make it your own kit kind of a deal. They give you a warmly divine brownie, scoop of ice cream, cocoa powder, whip cream and chocolate syrup. You put all these ingredients and make your own pretty dessert plate and you can put a nice message for each other (lovers or enemies) your choice! 5. The end. Loved the fact the manager drops off the check and makes sure your experience was delightful. Very few restaurants do that. I really liked that concept and it shows they care about their guests. Thank you Love is Blind for a awesome bday dinner. I can not wait to bring my entire family next time for dinner.~

    I had the tuna tacos and french fries. The tacos were a generous portion and certainly weren't bad, but were missing a flavor. They were disappointingly bland. I would not get them again. The fries, however, were crispy and salty deliciousness. The menu isn't set up for small bites, so come to dine for a meal. It won't be less than $20 for your food. The brunch menu didn't look standout. Soda order came with its own carafe so as to avoid waiting on refills, the staff was very nice and accommodating, and the setting was beautiful with high ceilings and lavish decor. It's a nice birthday dinner setting. I'm not sure how good their drinks or happy hours are, but this seems like a good place to meet up with a date or colleague for a drink. That's what I'll be back for: ambience and an order of fries.

    What a gorgeous restaurant! I love the atmosphere and the decor is so elegant! I came here to celebrate abuelo in law's 80th birthday with a party of almost 30. My husband and I arrived early and enjoyed a couple of cocktails by the bar. This was on a Saturday evening and they have happy hour (1/2 price cocktails) until 9pm. The specialty cocktails were really good and they are pricey so I am thankful for the happy hour discount. Once we were seated the food started coming out. So much food I couldn't finish it all and had left overs to take with me. I am happy that they served these plates in small portions, tapas style! We had a bunch of appetizers, a couple entrees with sides and a dessert. Appetizers: The Charcuterie, "Three little Pigs" Mortadella, Salami, Prosciutto and Brie Cheese. This was delicious and how could you go wrong with this awesome trio of meat and brie? Croquettes. Crunchy on the outside and gooey in the center. I love croquettes so this one made me happy. "Huevos Rotos" Confit Potatoes and Jamon Iberico. The fried eggs, ham and rich potatoes were perfect and I wish I could eat this dish for breakfast everyday! "Trio of Cheese Calzone" Ricotta, Mozzarella & Goat Cheese. Strong goat cheese flavor and the calzones were small two bite portions that were delicious if you are a goat cheese fan like I am. Caesar Salad. Funny thing, the menu mentions the Caesar Salad was created in Tijuana. I didn't realize the history of that salad until now. Anyway, this salad was more cheese than lettuce. Topped with tons of Parmesan and just the right amount of dressing and croutons. Entrees: Gran Gnocchi di Patata, Parmesan Cream Sauce & Portobello Mushrooms. Very rich and the best part were the mushrooms! Braised Steak Brasatto in a Mushroom Marsala Wine reduction. The steak was delicious and again the best part were those mushrooms! Sides: Sweet Plantain Mash and Sautéed Spinach and Cherry Tomatoes. The mash was pleasantly sweet. The spinach was slightly wilted and delicious. Dessert: Dulce de Leche Flan...yup, it was as glorious as you can imagine! Super rich and I loved every bite! I would love to go back to this beautiful restaurant for the great food, drinks and lovely atmosphere!

    I've been here for brunch twice and I love this place's decor and menu concept (appertizer and main for one price). I will tell you that the croquetas are to die for (as they boast on the menu)! I've tried most of their brunch mains and can say that they are all good (especially the brisket benedict). Also, the kids meals are a great value (and the kids loved them). I'll be coming back.

    Wow, this place was fantastic! We had a surprise b-day lunch for my mom here and everything was great. We had a separate room to accommodate us and help us hide from the b-day girl upon her arrival, and the menu was preplanned. Our waiters were very friendly and extremely helpful. The apps were scrumptious! They included Serrano ham croquettes, Trio of cheese calzone, and Charcuterie (3 little pigs). These croquettes basically melt in your mouth, I would come back for these alone! We were served salad before our main course. The entree was Churrasco and roasted chicken with vegetable ratatouille and bacon mashed potatoes. They were both seasoned perfectly! Needless to say the food was delicious! The restaurant has a very nice cozy feel. Be sure to check out all the sayings on the walls and the wine room towards the back. I didn't have a chance to look at the whole menu but from the taste of what we had, I'm sure everything else is just as delicious. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Adore, adore, adore this place! We walked in at 9 40 pm when they close at 10 pm on Sundays. I thought we would get the roll of the eye service for doing this. I was completely and pleasantly surprised to see the opposite. The host was soooo nice as well as the server. We received a warm greeting and the server was enthusiastic to share their menu options. My boyfriend and I have been here once but my sister and her fiance have not. He proceeded to explain how their menu is set up. They really have such great options! They divide their entrees into different price categories. For instance, if you want to pay about $25.00 for your meal, you get to decide between churrasco, fish and other dishes in that range, as well as an included appetizer of your choice! To top it off their house wine is $15 per bottle and it actually tastes good! We ordered the churrasco with sweet plantain mash and morro, and fried tomatoes with an aioli sauce as appetizer! Amazing...simply amazing! My sister and her fiance ordered the ribeye steak pizza and the roasted chicken. Delicious as well! Our deserts were even more incredible, the caramel flan and the American Dream Brownie. The American Dream brownie was sooo unique. They bring out the ingredients separately, in a basket, so that you can design it. Once you complete your creation, they provide a sheet of paper in order to write your own American dream, which is submitted to a monthly contest (you can win dinner for two). Our dinner, our desert, the service, the wine and the breathtaking ambiance was epic! I highly recommend this restaurant. Just beware that on Fridays they have a dj playing so it gets loud. I have desert pics....sorry no dinner ones. Fyi...great place for a romantic dinner! Candles everywhere and awesome music.

    My wife and I stopped in for lunch just after shopping at the mall. It was a late lunch around 2:00pm and there were only a few people at the restaurant. Everyone seemed to be sitting outside but we chose to be seated inside which was really nice as the place is intimate and cozy. We ordered the meat and cheese plate as an appetizer as well as the ham and cheese croquettes. The meat and cheese plate was good. I learned for the first time in 51 years of eating that you can actually eat the outside of brie cheese. Who knew right? Anyway the croquettes we served piping hot and were very good. My wife loves them but I don't for some reason, maybe its just I've never had any good ones but these excellent and I just loved them. For our main course I had the Salmon salad and my wife ordered the short rib. My salad was good, no complaints other than it was served in an odd shaped bowl and I kept spilling some it if. It came with strawberries in it which I was initially going to pick out but I'm glad I didn't because they added a bit of sweetness I wasn't expecting. My wifes short rib was wonderful as well. I make it at home in the slow cooker all the time and she just loves it. She said it was every bit as good as mine which means it must have been phenomenal. If you're in the area I highly recommend Love is Blind. Good food at a reasonable price in a cozy setting. The valet parking makes it easy. P.S. Order the croquettes, you won't be disappointed.

  • Francesca L.

    Food is decent, decor is nice. On my last visit, I sat at the bar and ordered a vodka ginger ale from the bartender. Twice she served it to me and I had to send it back because not only was it the incorrect color but it tasted nothing like a vodka- ginger ale. Finally, I asked her to show me how she is making my cocktail and at that point she decides to tell me that they don't actually have ginger ale, so instead she mixes Coke and Sprite in order to "make" ginger ale. Are you kidding me?! I had to laugh at this, what else could I do! If you don't have something please tell your customer, we are not idiots, and I would have been much more understanding if she would have told me upfront. I could have ordered something else, no big deal. But since she let me sit there and wait and attempt to drink two drinks that she knew were not what I ordered, I will not return to this place.

    Love is blind is a great little spot with good food and great prices. We had the ham croquettes and burrata with tomatoes for appetizers, it was very tasty. I had the grilled filet mignon with a red wine reduction, roasted wedge potatoes and herb butter - the steak was cooked perfectly!!! The food was delicious! It was accompanied by a very reasonably priced bottle of Malbec. Of course topped dinner off with the American Dream dessert - it was a lot more interesting than the reality of putting it together. It was fun and delicious!

    Went here for a Sunday Brunch to catch up with a friend. First things first, the presentation when you walk in the restaurant is adorable. Neat lamps, nice lighting, cute quotes around the walls.. overall nice ambiance. Hosts was nice and seated us pretty quickly, but yet again, it wasn't a full-house either. Waiter was accommodating and give us a "first-timer experience". Explained the brunch-menu, 3 different prices that come with side and entrée (along with the rest of the traditional-menu options). Food came by quickly and at the time they had 0.99 cent mimosas (not sure if they still do it but definitely call and find out- totally worth it). Presentation nice. Would definitely come back for brunch or for a birthday dinner.

    A sophisticated location with a fabulous bar! Love is Blind has really focused on craft cocktails and the attention to detail is very evident! As we were with a group for happy hour, I got to sample a large variety of the cocktails and nibbles and loved all but one thing! My favorite, My fellow yelpers, I am sorry but I forgot to take a pic of the cocktail menu so I will try to properly refer to my favorite two drinks. I thought the best was the craft lychee martini (had a "sexy" name). Very refreshing, full of fresh fruit, but packs a punch ;) A runner up is the St. Germain champagne cocktail. a very generous portion of drink. A bit lighter than a Martini, but those are the ones that you have to watch out before they knock you out! There was a cherry champagne cocktail that had that "cough medicine" flavor you can get from cherry drinks - if that's not your favorite flav, steer clear. However, the bartender was great and switched it out immediately at no cost to us! We ordered only appetizers at happy hour and there was not a bad one in the bunch! In fact, we ordered a second round of the croquetas and huevos rotos. The croquetas are Spanish style so are full of bechamel and little chunks of jamon serrano. Super crispy on the outside and ooey gooey yumminess on the inside, they disappear before you know it! The huevos rotos is the most indulgent fancy breakfast skillet I have ever had! Perfectly fried and tender potatoes and onions are the base for fried eggs and good quality jamon serrano. I want to go back JUST for this dish! In short, take your girls, your date or some random stranger off the street but happy hour at Love is Blind can't be beat!

    Another successful visit to Love is Blind! After my first time here, I vowed to come back. This time I went in for dinner to celebrate the ball n chain's birthday, and I was just as satisfied as I was when I went for lunch! Our appetizers were the 3 cheese calzone (brie, goat and ricotta) and the croquettes. My husband and I absolutely love those croquettes! They are just amazing! The calzone was good, but I'm not a big ricotta cheese fan. It comes with some preserves on the side which do work to enhance the flavor. I probably wouldn't go for it again, though. As our entrees we had the new Churrasco dish they just added and the I Can't Believe it's Not Pasta. Both were great! My husband loved his steak - it came out cooked just how he liked it. And it comes with some mash plantains that were to die for! The "pasta" in my entree is actually zucchini and it came with this awesome cream vodka sauce, salmon, and shredded cheese on top. I was very happy with my choice! Desert was a no go as we were stuffed! Temping, yes (please just take a look at the dessert menu!), but we just couldn't find any room for it. Service was great and the ambiance was super sexy. Love this place!

    Shout out to my 16 year old sister (AKA Baby girl) for picking this spot for her birthday. Very sophisticated with a mix of vintage decor. Everything from the light fixtures, the Marilyn Monroe painting, old fixtures and quotes on the walls were a great mix. Parking was of course pay to park, had a little mission with that since I had never gone thru my phone to do it but I got a spot directly across the street so no hassel. I was greeted at the door and advised I was the first in my party to arrive and they directed me to the bar. I wanted something spicy so I ordered a Bloody Mary (been loving Bloody Mary's lately especially with a nice fresh salty olive) and the bartender made it perfect, she even added extra hot sauce for an even spicier kick , just my style.I'm so sorry I don't remember her name but she was the best. As my party arrived we were seated in a private dining area where they have all the wines stored. It was fabulous! We all ordered something different so we can all taste each other's appetizers and meals. I must say I was pleased with everything. I ordered the chicken with bacon mashed potatoes. It was so good and could've fed 3 people easy. Doggie bag was in full effect for sure! I won't go into detail about every meal BUT I will provide pictures and let them speak for themselves. Everyone was more then satisfied, left full, and smiling. I love this place and the service was wonderful. What a great experience they provided my family and I and most importantly, my baby sister on her 16th birthday. Love you baby girl.

    We had a reservation for 15! At 11:30 calling us to confirm, Went with coworkers to celebrate a birthday The food was ok, white sangria sucked! It was more like an orange juice really bad,our server tony looked so scared of taking care of our orders, looked like he doesn't like big party's, he was desperate for us to leave which is very rude, if you are not used to bigger groups ask help or tell your manager you can't do it, but don't make your customers uncomfortable, also at 4pm happy hour started and a coworker ordered a drink and tony said happy hour is only at the bar! Lol if you offer a happy hour on your establishment why are u telling me is only at the bar? It's not like I'm somewhere else, not really worth it, definitely not coming back.

    Ok, so I've gone to Love is Blind a lot of times. Dinner, lunch, happy hour and brunch. Brunch was a complete let down. I had the eggs benedict and I couldn't even finish them, I felt I was going to vomit everywhere. Sorry, but the hollandaise sauce mixed with barbecue sauce is absolutely disgusting. I told the waitress I HATED the dish and that's why I didn't even eat half of it and she didn't take it off my check. Now, for dinner, lunch and happy hour, I've had AMAZING experiences. The food has been absolutely delicious and the wait staff extremely dedicated to making us feel welcome and comfortable. These experiences are definitely what kept me from giving then anything less than 5 stars. Apart from the eggs benedict for brunch, I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.

    My husband and I had a reservation here last Saturday to celebrate our half year wedding anniversary :) The experience was great, I ordered a pineapple daiquiri which was sooo tasty For appetizers we had the ham croquettes and the oyster bisque- both were not disappointing at all, for main dish I had the tuna tartar, great flavors, very delicate dish, my husband had the filet mignon which was just a piece of paradise, so tender and juicy!!!! And for a happy ending a beautiful and delicious cappuccino flan ( I wish I were able to steal this recipe) The service was outstanding, thank you to Love is Blind for making our day such a wonderful experience, planning to visit Crazy about you soon :)

    All of the Passion Group restaurants are amazing and Love is Blind is one of the prettiest! I've visited this location several times and have a great experience every time. Whether you're going with a group or your significant other you're guaranteed to have a great meal. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a romantic feel (hence the name, I suppose). The food is also pretty amazing. I have yet to have a bad experience at this restaurant (or any of its sister restaurants for that matter). I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Came here for my sister's Bday. Food was very good and for a reasonable price you get an appetizer and a main course. I ordered the spring rolls and the Tuna tartar. No regrets! Everything was excelent. The only objection is that happy hour applies only if you are sitting at the bar......meh......as for the rest the menu options are great ( better than their sister restaurant Crazy About You, I must say). And you gave good price for the wine. I will definitely come back!

    Love is Blind has everything you want in one restaurant and more. I love how there is a box on the table where you can put your cellphones inside. I think it's a great idea because it helps you really enjoy the moment with your family and friends. For parking, you can valet for $8 or try to find street parking. I love the atmosphere. The restaurant itself has such a nice feel to it. There are quotes all around and the lighting is very nice with all the pretty lamps and candles. To start, I had the croquettes, which are my favorite! They were so good. Then, I had the chicken and waffles which was another amazing dish. For dessert, I had the Nutella pizza. It was a pizza with nutella, bananas and strawberries. How good does that sound? I suggest going with a group of people so you can try a little bit of everything. Love is Blind is a perfect place to take a significant other or to just go with a group of friends. I will definitely be coming back!

    The most enjoyable brunch in Miami. The service from Manny was flawless, friendly and attentive, he looks like he loves his job and it shows. The manager stopped to chat for a bit and was very pleasant too. Food was delicious and very well prepared. I would suggest to add a few additional options that caters to a more breakfast oriented patron. Don't get me wrong, the menu is amazing. But I wouldn't mind fancy pancakes too. They have .99 cent Mimosa till noon! Yes, U read that right. .99 cents!

    The ambiance here is very unique. They had candles everywhere and larger than life artwork all over the place. The food here is amazing! You can tell the chefs really take pride in their food. The price ranges from $19.99-32.99. The menu set up is interesting, you order an entree from the set menu and it comes with an appetizer. Food- I ordered the ham croquettes as my appetizer and it was delicious! We had a large group and everyone raves about the oyster bisque. For my entree I ordered the churrasco which was yummy. The salmon however was the best tasting entree on the menu. The coffee/ dulce de leche flan was also very yummy. All and all I will defiantly come back again!

    The one star is not for the food. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try it and I was really looking forward to it. The one star is for customer service. We made our way in at 10:15pm this past Wednesday and were advised by the nice hostess that we would have to order in 5 minutes cause the kitchen closes in 5 minutes. No problem, we knew what we wanted. I wanted Huevos Rotos as I've had at Dolores and a glass of wine. Not sure what food item my girl ordered. My best friend did not want to eat, so he just ordered a glass of wine. Our waiter (did not get his name, shame on me!), advised my best friend he would be charged a $10.00 sharing fee if he ate from our plates. He stressed this a total of 3 times. Yet again he says in a loud tone " I'm just warning you, if you get caught you will be charged $10.00". My friend was not in the least bit rude to him. He winked at him and told him "don't worry I'm not here to eat, I just want my glass of wine ". I, on the other hand was ticked. I was embarrassed. The waiter came across as rude and condescending. Who the fv©k does he think he's dealing with? Kids? Peons? We felt like we were in trouble. Like he was scolding our group. We felt so uncomfortable, we had to walk out. I told the lovely girls in the front to please cancel our order with our rude waiter. I have nothing but respect for servers. They are hard working people. They have many tables to attend to with all kinds of colorful characters to deal with throughout the day. Not only is it their job to get our food order right, bring it out but also to make our dining experience an enjoyable one. This was not the case at this fine establishment. Love may be blind but I won't fall for that!

    Out of this world. We were a group of 7 and they accommodated us very well. My husband ordered the croquettes and the table ended up ordering a second helping. The gnocchi was delicious very rich but worth the calories. Our only complaint is that the spicy Italian sausage pasta was way too sweet. Maybe for some people's taste but not for us at all. The reason they did not lose a star for this was because of their reaction. The waiter noticed that the penne pasta was the ONLY dish unfinished at the table so he asked if everything was OK . We explained how we felt about the dish and The manager came over. He was was extremely kind and voided the dish. Everyone was so nice and we truely had a wonderful experience. Looking forward to coming back soon.

    Wanting to try something new we searched a bit on Yelp & after looking at some photos & reviews decided on Love is Blind... it's catchy & definitely a Miami name. Having been to Delores in Brickell to celebrate a birthday we knew it would be a cool place to try. We made a quick reservation & looked forward to a great night. As you pull up to the restaurant you are given several choices for parking. You can valet for $8, try your luck with street parking, or park in the nearby garage which is literally accross the street. $3 for the first 2hrs & a $1 each additional. Once you walk inside you are greeted by a really nicely decorated entryway. You can tell a lot went into this design. There's a manequin in a dress behind a DJ turntable. Once we took in all the sights we headed over to the hostess table also decked out in cool gear. After checking in, (we were a bit early) we went over to the bar for a few drinks while we waited for our table. The bartenders were attentive & quickly greeted us with smiles. The drinks were good & priced on par for the Gables. Our table was ready right on time! The tables are pretty close to each other when you are a party of 2 so expect that. The larger round tables offer a bit more space & privacy. We sat down & glanced over the menu. There is a little sign on the table attached to a box for holding cell phones as to not be rude to the people you are eating with. I loved this idea & quickly threw my phone in the box. The first side is apps & entrees while the reverse is your drink menu. For being a place in the Gables I was shocked to see apps are included with the price of your entree. This was a really nice surprise. Having seen photos of the food I had my heart set on trying the croquetas. We also went with the 3 cheese Calzone. For entrees, the Chicken with Bacon Mashed Potatos & the Kobe Sliders with shoestring fries were calling our name. I got a Coke also which was served in a mason jar. Once the apps came I grabbed my phone but just to take a few quick photos. The Calzone was ok but the Croquetas were fantastic! The entrees showed up at the perfect time right as the apps were settling in our stomachs. The Chicken & Bacon Mashed Potatos were awesome as were my Kobe Beef Sliders. The shoestring fries reminded me of McDonalds fries which is actually a compliment to anyone who knows fries. The taste & texture of the fries was perfect & my sliders were cooked medium as requested. With apps & entrees gone it was time to indulge in some sweetness. The dessert menu is actually a double sided abacas with a chalk board. We went with the Nutella Pizza & the Dulce De Leche Flan. The Nutella Pizza had a really good Vanilla bean ice cream on top but the dough was more of a chewy pita type rather than a sweet sugar cookie dough base which I was expecting. The standout was the Flan, it was excellent! A great dinner for two with a few drinks, apps/entrees, & desserts ran right around $100 which is on par for the Gables. Cliff Notes: Good: Prices are reasonable, food is good, great atmosphere, & friendly staff. Go with the croquetas & dulce de leche flan for a home run. All the entrees on the menu looked like winners & both we had were great. Not so good(I had to use that title because nothing was Bad): A little slow with drinks from the bar but not the end of the world. The Calzone app was just ok & the Nutella pizza needs a sugar cookie crust instead of the chewy pita type base. Would I eat here again? Yes!

    We went as a group of 15 for lunch with a reservation. Overall we hated this place. The restaurant was empty and yet the service was slow. They knew we were coming from a couple days before. Our waiter, Anthony, seemed more annoyed than anything that we were there to bother him. We asked for a drink during "happy hour" at the empty restaurant and were told that we could only order it from the bar. Finally we did get our happy hour drink at the table. However We had to basically beg for more drinks. The sangria was syrupy. The Nutella desert was burnt. We have all agreed never again. You would think the waiter would look forward to a large party and a proper tip. The only nice thing was the decor.

    I LOVE the saying Love is Blind but also the restaurant itself. It's a cozy, rustic chic, romantic vibe. I love the mismatched chairs, lighting, etc..just looks very quaint. They even have a section to put your phones away so you could be in the moment of the experience and company. Nice touch. I came here for lunch with one of my good friends. We were a little hesitant to try it, because it seems more like a date place. And she had plans to go here for date night with her boothang. But in the end, we couldn't resist. The place just looked so pretty and the menu to die for. The service was amazing. Our drinks were always refilled. She was patient with us since we were so indecisive of what to get. She offered us honest and great recommendations. One small thing she forgot was some oil and vinegar for our bread. First things first, we ordered 99 cent mimosas (only available before 3pm after that I believe it is $4 but I'm not sure). With your entrée you get a free appetizer. I ordered the steak and eggs with a three cheese calzone. The calzone which is made up of ricotta, brie and mozarella. It also came with a berry like sauce. I liked it but it tasted more like dessert. I probably should of stuck with my initial thoughts on getting the oyster bisque. My steak and eggs were cooked perfectly, the churassco like steak could have been a little more tender and flavorful but it was fine, still good. The sjxe of home fries were really good but had a spicy kick to it. My friend ordered the baked chicken with bacon cheddar mashed potatoes that she liked . She also liked her spinach and quinoa salad, which had strawberries and this incredible cheese (if I had to guess it was chunks of manchego). Overall, it was a lovely lunch. I would definitely come back here again. I loved everything about this place.

    I first went when it opened and loved it. its the same owners as Dolores/Lolita and crazy about you, so I knew what to expect. the menu prices are very affordable especially for such a high end area like merrick park. you can get wine by the glass or bottle for a great price. the croquetas are delicious as expected. the spinach and quinoa salad is crisp and refreshing. and the churrasco is a great choice as is the zucchini pasta. I have been for dinner and even a private party and always leave very happy with the food and ambiance. its a lively beautiful restaurant with great food options and very affordable prices. you cant go wrong!

    The good: The decor is very cute! Some tables (I say some because mine didn't have it) have a little box for you to put your cell phone in & enjoy your meal without interruptions :) cute or dorky? I think cute!! The bread came fast... it was a sponge type (forgive my lack of bread vocabulary), the waiter put olive oil & balsamic on a plate. The balsamic was very bitter so don't mix it like I did... put some salt on the olive oil & have it that way. The brunch menu... an appetizer is included with your entree (I thought this was genius!)... the ham & cheese croquettes were nice but are very tiny. The spinach strawberry avocado queso salad was nice (and big) but I think they show tone down on the amount of spinach. The chicken & waffles: 2 pieces of chicken (at first you think to yourself= 2 pieces?! It should be 3.... but when your done you'll say= "man I'm glad it wasn't 3! ) comes with bacon (which I don't eat & totally forgot to tell the waitress not to include it), waffles (good), and plenty of maple syrup (a big plus! you definitely won't have to ask for them to bring extra. Oh & it brings a side of patatas bravas which I think was a total waste because I didn't like them one bit! The bad: The waitress although very nice simply just took my utensils from my salad plate & put them on the table.... the student nurse in me was not gonna have it of course so when she left I just reached over to the table on the side & took new utensils. What do you guys think? Nasty or no big deal?

    We came here for brunch (group of 4) this place did not disappoint. The decor is so pretty. They have a lot to look at and they have quotes scattered on the walls. We were seated in a nook in the back. It was like we had our own private room. The server was top notch. He refilled our waters every few sips. Was quick with taking our orders and bring us our drinks. They have bread on the table, and he made us an olive oil and vinegar dip. On the table they have a box for you to put your cell phones in. It has a message on it explaining how you will enjoy each others company more. We took advantage of it. We all dropped our phones in and then immediately realized we would need them back when the food came so we can take pictures. We agreed on pictures only and posts would need to be later. We all had a good laugh on how technologically dependent we were. The mimosas were $4, not a bad price for Miami. I'm actually allergic to oranges and server suggested pineapple juice instead. I've had it this way before, so I was delighted to hear they offer this option. Those who ordered the bloody marys enjoyed the spicy kick. My one friend ordered a glas of orange juice and they gave her a mason jar filled. She said it was really good and they didn't skimp on the serving. I had the short ribs Benedict. Very good, eggs were perfectly poached. All of the dishes were served with their house potatoes. i found them to be spicy but the guys loved it. The chicken and waffles also came with bacon. The chicken was very juicy and the waffles perfectly fluffy. The pizza omelet was a nice surprise. We expected a pizza dough with eggs and something completely different came out. It was a nice surprise. Each dish came with an appetizer. The serving size of which could have been its own meal. The ham, croquets were good. They expected a lot of ham but it was a ham and cheese blend. The three cheese calzone was really good. It had ricotta, mozzarella, and brie. I especially loved the preserves it was served with. The spinach salad was also really fresh and had a great dressing. We had such a lovely brunch here and would definitely come back for another brunch and to try their dinner menu.

    I was really impressed with Love is Blind. I had previously been to sister restaurant Crazy About You so I was excited to see this location. We came here for a birthday party and they were able to seat us at our set reservation time, no problems. The ambiance is dimly lit I believe a good portion of the restaurant is lit by candles and it's a very swanky, yet not snooty environment. First thing we noticed on the menu was the $15 bottle of house wine. We ordered a great tasting Cab, definitely recommend. And then the dishes all come with an appetizer so we all ordered different ones to share. Stand outs were the jamon Serrano croquettes, the juevos, and burrata. For main courses, I had the zucchini spaghetti with salmon. My friend's gnocchi dish was heavenly. We were all pleased with our orders. And to top it off, they brought the birthday girl a delectable dulce de leche flan on the house. I was impressed with the on point service and our cheap bill. Our party of five ate and drank for $159. Great place for groups or a romantic date. The bar area is really nice too and looks like it could be happening on a friday happy hour. I will return.

  • Alessandra G.

    Wasn't impressed. It may look cute, but the food isn't good. Best part of the meal was the croquettes and spinach/quinoa salad. I ordered the sea bass...nice portion but didn't even want to finish it. I tried the linguini zucchini "Can't Believe it's Not Pasta," and it wasn't very good at all. I actually disliked the meal so much that I'm very hesitant to go to Crazy About You and Lolita...seems like the type of place that's all hype and not about the actual food.

  • Laure M.

    From the 3 restaurants (Lolita, Crazy about you and Love is blind), this is my favorite! The rule is the same: combo price for an appetizer and an entree. I had the mozzarella martini for an appetizer and it's BIG! Then I chose the zucchini pasta with salmon and vodka cream sauce for my entree. That was really good, very cheesy and lots of salmon. My friend for the quinoa salad and tuna tartar. Everything was delicious!! We indulged in a dessert and had the brownie just for fun. You have to make your own creation, it's fun, but we were more interested in eating the dessert. Service was perfect and the food was delicious. Two thumbs up!

    The service at this restaurant was horrid. I came with my friends to enjoy the happy hour on a Thursday and I wanted to leave immediately after arriving. I would never ever come back. I ordered the most expensive item on the menu and it wasn't cooked the way it was supposed too.

    This place is great. Took a date here yesterday. Beautiful décor, location, nice ambiance, affordable prices and very good food. Their house wine is $15 a bottle! where do you get that these days? I took my own bottle of Novu (not available in the restaurant) and they had a reasonable corcking fee of $16 dollars,which was reasonable.The waiters/waitresses are just absolutely lovely people who are always cheery and know the menu inside out. The bar area is really nice however I wish it would be a little larger or more stools around the bar. Their serrano ham croquetas are the finest in town. My favorite dish is the zucchini pasta with salmon, but if you like your pasta with less sauce do request it because the first time around it was too much sauce for my taste. I have also had the braised beef with garbanzos, while the beef was really good, the garbanzos were just bland (and I do love garbanzos) it just didn't seem to be a good match. Their best dessert is the crema de leche flan -do not opt for another one, you will not regret it. I highly recommend this place but do make reservations. Also try their other restaurants Crazy About You (which has a beautiful view) and Dolores Lolita in the Brickell area. This place is decorated with beautiful curtains and the natural light of the candles divide a very romantic atmosphere for couples,dates or anything along those lines. It's a very cozy warm ambiance and even die a nice talk over wine with no further personal interest it's nice. They really went ahead with providing a lot of thought and detail to this venue. The bathrooms are very organized and clean. You will find mouthwash and dental floss in them for tour personal use id you choose to use it. I This place is great.

    Was there only for happy hour on a Friday after work. I met up with a couple of friends and we sat at the bar. Bartenders were super nice and attentive. A few good, strong drinks at 50 % off was exactly what I needed that day. We ordered tuna tataki and the vegetable spring rolls for appetizers and everything was delicious. I really enjoyed the vibe and everyone I was with had nothing but positive things to say. I want to go back to actually have dinner. I will update my review when that happens.

    After visiting the establishment for the second time, I have a different perspective. I'm in love & no, it's not blind, it's real. The service by Gonzalo was impeccable. Kitchen and bar were on sync. We decided to sit outside in the pretty chairs and ordered light since the mimosas were so delish, I had to save space.i had the best tasting croquettes you'll ever have which take a refreshing spin on the traditional recipe. Shortly afterwards, (and a few mimosas in) we ordered the prosciutto airbag, breakfast omelete and tried the chicken waffles. Everything was exquisite! You'll notice how the service makes a huge difference and ordering small thing a to share amongst your party allow you to sample the menu appropriately. Our hostess Elisabeth seated us promptly and everyone was on top of our table regarding refreshments and food. This is the brunch spot people! By the way, I'm stuck up in case you didn't notice. The orange juice they use is fresh squeezed from Florida's finest (Natalie's fresh squeezed) so Its Alex-approved ! Forget the other obnoxious places, THIS IS IT!!! Dollar mimosas, hello? Yes please !

    I've been to Love is Blind for dinner and Happy Hour and was impressed with both. They have an awesome happy hour with some pretty delicious drinks. Every drink we had was incredible. They had a St. Germain drink that was perfect for summer. I also had one that had Bourbon, Peach and hot sauce. Not a combo you could expect but it was delicious. A great, classy, fun happy hour with some great waiters. Their dinner menu was also great. All dishes come with an appetizer and everything we ordered was delicious. The croquettes were great, but not the best I've ever had. Overall, I'd say this place has great deals and was really fun for either Happy hour or dinner. But it was missing that extra something special to bump it up to a 5 star.

    Last night my husband and I.could escape.from the kids for a little while and we went to love is blind. Manny was our server and he made our date night great. He was so detailed and friendly, it was refreshing to be attended to by someone who actually looks like he loves what he does. The food was amazing. The portions are great they are not.huge where you feel overstuffed. Those croquetas were AMAZING! finally the cappuccino flan is a must have! Thank you manny for a great night and to love is blind for making an amazing dining experience at reasonable price.

    Came in again because I really wanted to give this place another chance (where else can you get $1 mimosas? no really, where? please tell me). Plus their croquetas are literally to die for. That alone makes coming here all worth it. This time I decided I would try the same thing I did last time, an omelet and potatoes. I asked them not to mix my potatoes in that tomato sauce and they were 10x better this way. This time my omelet was cooked to perfection, which I was extremely happy about. I don't necessarily like that it comes in a skillet but I guess for presentation purposes it's cute, and it does at least keep my eggs warm as I chat with my girlfriends and down mimosas. Speaking of mimosas - this time the rounds kept coming out constantly which was really great, and we found out that they use Natalie's Orange Juice which made my friend really happy so I'm guessing that's a good thing? The service was outstanding, everyone is super friendly and welcoming. This has now become our new Saturday morning ritual. We love it.

    All about the ambiance and decoration. Love is blind certainly hits the mark with it's ambiance and decorations. The restaurant scene is straight out of a movie-very romantic, quaint and truly an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, they fell short in a few items although made up in other areas. My friends and I gathered on a Tuesday. No specials necessarily at the regular tables as happy hour is only offered at the bar Monday-Thursday. Found this very odd! There are 4 price areas on the menu and every entree brings an appetizer. Here's where they hit the mark...service was great. Server was attentive and brought the items on a timely manner. The croquettes and calzone were absolutely delectable. Highly recommend. For main entrees, the half baked chicken was extremely tasty as was the chicken and waffles. The churrasco was good, not great, on top of a bed of what seemed to be mashed plantains...not to the liking of my taste. My girlfriend ordered the filet mignon and it was certainly far from it. When a filet mignon is ordered, you expect a nice portion of steak with no fat, charred outside and juice inside. This steak was far from it. Extremely dry even though it was ordered medium (butterfly). The restaurant does not offer steak sauce although the waiter offered 2 other sauces for it. Unfortunately, as much as this would "moisten" the steak, the damage was already done. For this experience, ordering a filet mignon should only be done at a steakhouse. For dessert, the Nutella pizza was ordered. How can you go wrong with a dessert? This was also good, not great. The pizza, medium plate size, is Nutella with a few strawberries over a crust pie. Because I think everything is baked, the Nutella doesn't taste as fresh as from a syrup bottle. I recommend the dessert but it didn't receive 5 starts. Overall, it truly was an enjoyable experience although the food was good, not great!

Love is blind however their interior design was created with impeccable taste.! As for the food I would love to especially congratulate the kitchen staff which is so professional and efficient. The food was cooked to specification and was produced very quickly there was hardly any wait time. We ordered the calamari sofrito and the caprese martini for our appetizers! As for our entrees we had the veal churrasco and salt crusted salmon, these are two I would recommend or at least beg to try the sweet plantain mash that is served with the veal! Thank you again to all who assured our experience was lovely!

    This is our first time at this place and it was great. The food was excellent and wine fantastic. Each entree comes with an appetizer of your choice which is great. I had "I can't believe it's not pasta" which was very good. The food was very tasteful as well which could be overwhelming at times but in general a great experience. Will definitely be returning.

    First off funny waiter! Food is tasty. The restaurant decor is interesting, there are positive and loving messages all over the restaurant(it's called love is blind after all). If your looking to pay $10 for coke and rum with more rum than coke this is your place. Loved the experience, however the restaurant some interesting policies. For instance in normal restaurants on your birthday waiters will sing happy birthday for you here however the owner does not allow the waiters to sing happy birthday odd... Second cents for every entrée ordered you get a free appetizer you are not allowed to share an entrée if you want to share you have to pay a $10 fee once again odd... However the restaurant experience was great and I give it a five

    My Steak came out kinda dry and with not much flavor. The potatoe wedges that came with the steak didn't have much taste either. Considering what they charge for it I was expecting better. The restaurant has an interesting overall theme and my waiter was nice. I'm indifferent if I'll come back but I'll probably order a less expensive entrée.

    Last night my friends and I had a very pleasant and surprising dining experience at Love is Blind. Josie, our server, was very pleasant and attentive, she recommended what turned out to be several very delicious plates that everyone in my group loved. The service was spectacular with a positive, professional and friendly attitude, accompanied with a smile. My friends and I will definitely go back to Love is Blind and we will definitely ask for Josie. Thank you. Great Job!

    My first experience here a few weeks ago was great....So I've heard good things about the brunch, and decided to try it out. I came with my husband and brother and sister inlaw. My appetizer, "three lil piggies" was a personal meat platter with goat cheese focaccia bread drizzled in extra virgin olive oil. YUM!! My entree was the Home Wrecker Sandwich. It was good but I personally prefer not to eat overly toasted bread. The other meals ordered that were throughly enjoyed were the chicken and waffles, steak and eggs, and their ham croquettes. On top of all that their .99 cent mimosas aren't all juice! It's actually champs with a splash of juice! Don't judge me "it's 5 o'clock somewhere!" Do yourself the favor and go to Love is Blind..... At least once in your life! Lol

    Love is Blind is such a beautiful restaurant. Have gone twice for Saturday & Sunday brunch. Amazing service, food and prices! Always greeted by friendly staff and manager. Can't beat $4 mimosas/ sangrias and everything on the brunch menu is delicious, especially their famous croquetas. Our server today was Manny, he was amazing!!! Couldn't ask for a better server, he made our experience that much better. Will definitely keep going back and ask for Manny! :)

    Staff was friendly and food was served fast. Only thing I enjoyed was the Oyster Bisque. I ordered the eggs benedict and ham croquettes. Definitely not the best ive had. The side of potatoes was served cold and didn't look fresh.

  • Conny R.

    This place is nice. At first I thought it was a bit pricey but the entree is not small and It comes with an appetizer so not bad. As an appetizer we had the spring rolls and croquettes which were ok. I've had better but I still ate them. I will probably try another appetizer next time. Today we went for brunch and I enjoyed my chicken and waffles very much. The waffles were soft and tasty, the chicken was perfectly crispy and the bacon was good. I loved our waiter! He was very friendly, informative and always on top of cleaning out our table to make room for everything. He kept our coffee cups full and was very pleasant. The restaurant itself is very clean and chic.

    I really like coming here for lunch. It has a wonderful ambiance and the servers are always smiling. The food does not take long and has yet to disappoint me. The waiters are always very attentive but not to the point of annoying. If there is a dirty plate on your table you can make sure it won't stay there more than a few seconds.

    This my first time here, Good atmosphere, nice Music and comfortable setting. I was served by a guy who doesn't want me to disclose his name. He was the only black guy there lol. He was amicable and was knowledgable about the menu. I had brunch and my girlfriend had churrasco both were really good.

    Let's just start this by saying I studied Hospitality Management and I have been a server for years, now as many of you may think, this makes me picky, but no it actually makes me a more patient and understanding guest, as I know and have experienced things going wrong. With that said the only reason they get 2 stars is for their very nice staff (with the exception of 1). My in laws arrived at around 8, maybe a bit before, and were quoted a 45 minute wait, it's a Saturday in the gables and with no reservation I found it beyond reasonable. I arrived and my bf and our daughter did too shortly after. We sat in the bar lounge, which was quite crowded, as to be expected at happy hour. The cocktail l waitress was nice at first, took our order, got drinks and ordered our food. It was loud and my father in law ordered the calamari. When it arrived, we received two portions. I didn't say anything as I did not order and my father in law didn't either as he thought it was a happy hour special or something . When the waitress checks on us, she asks if we ordered two, he says no just one, and she replies with a sarcastic smile and says, and you didn't tell them anythjng ? Let's stop here, I was a waitress, I've had a million food runners make a mistake and a million people eat it, literally. And all I say is congrats on your good fortune ! No you don't charge it and you definitely don't blame the guest. Is it annoying? Yes. Can you deal? Yes. And then later on we also received a remark along the lines of, oh are you hungry? Like ONE fried calamari hungry? Not cool. After visiting the hostess a total of 7 times and waiting an hour and a half to an hour and forty five minutes, my 6 foot 5 large father in law was annoyed, grumpy and starving. This military drill Sargeant was not pleased. We were offered a patio table which he said no to and then we waited some more for another table to get up. Let me point that all the visits to the host stand were not bad, she explained the table she had planned for our party and that they had paid and were just waiting to get up, however they talked forever. The hostess was also about 40 minutes behind on the people with reservations, so no surprise we waited that long. I wish I could say it was worth the wait, but just as its sister restaurants, Dolores but you can call me Lolita and Crazy About You have in the past, it was a bland disappointment. They're menu is divided into 4 price points and every entree includes and appetizer, we tried the Huevos Rotos, spring rolls, cesar salad, short rib, churrasco and chicken and waffles. Although I usually go into detail with food, all dishes tasted the same, BLAND. I don't believe the chef believed in salt, just a pretty presentation . Throughout the meal a lot of sorry for the waits and is everything ok happened, as expected. We were offered a round of drinks , I ordered a Malbec by the glass which tasted like a spicy Zinfandel, not bad but not a Malbec. Dessert was a dulce the leche flan, good but boring and overly sweet. We sang happy birthday and then were told the whole meal was comped. This is what gave them the 2 stars, at least they recognized the disaster of a night, considering the chicken tenders and waffles are better at IHOP, you can bet I'll never dine there or any of their sister restaurants again. I truly appreciate the level of service and attention and effort made but unfortunately in all aspects came up short. They taught me that bad service cannot save good food, but excellent service can save ok food, after this experience I don't believe either to be true. Bad anything is bad anything, point period blank. I wish them well, but don't waste the money.

    Blind or not, you will fall in love with this restaurant from the moment you walk in. The decoration is chic and romantic, with candelabras, votive candles, statues, and random musings flowing throughout the restaurant. This is a perfect spot for any special celebration, from a romantic anniversary dinner to a girl's night out dinner. I happen to be celebrating my 9th wedding anniversary. We brought our own bottle of wine for a minimal corkage fee of $16.. The waiter decanted it for us right away and brought us parmesan bread sticks as we studied the menu. When we told him we were celebrating an anniversary, he ran to the bar and got us 2 glasses of champagne on the house! Talk about going out of your way. Our waiter was stellar throughout the night. As for the menu, it is very straightforward. They basically have 4 different price point prix fix menus, that each comes with an appetizer. This is a tremendous deal for this type of restaurant, especially in swanky Coral Gables. For starters we had the croquettes and the cheese calzone. The croquettes were scrumptious. I could have easily ordered another plate. The calzone was also very delicious filled with gooey brie, mozzarella and goat chesses and a side of raspberry dipping sauce. Since I was I put into a meat induced coma just a few days earlier at an Elite event, I decided to go with the Seared Tuna as my main entrée. It was the perfect size and was very well plated. It also tasted very good, not fishy at all. My husband went with the salmon with zucchini linguini. It was a very unique plate and he loved it, as well. We ended our meal with a dulce leche flan that was creamy and super flavorful. The waiter also decorated the plate, which made for a great photo opp! I simply love this place..why not 5 stars? Well, this is currently a hot spot in the MIA. You can only imagine how packed it was for a Saturday night. Although we had a reservation, we were squeezed into a small table between 2 parties. On one side it was a Real Housewives of Miami junior version audition, and on the other side 2 middle aged drunk couples ..We made the best of it of course because the food and service was excellent. It was also entertaining listening to the drunk couples making fun of the RHOMJrs..we bonded a bit over it. Will see you again soon Love is Blind!

    I loved this place. It's a shame that I tried it the day before a dinner meeting at its sister restaurant Dolores Lolita. I'll tell you why... The menus are identical. That being said the food is equally as good and decently priced. The decor was cute. I loved the idea of dropping your cell phone into the box and promising we wouldn't look at them while there. I was impressed the candles were real and the tiny lights you normally get at restaurants. However, when dining with a curious 5 year old those candles could be hazardous. Our waiter was nice and turned ours off quickly. The service was awesome. Our waiter was nice and fun but not overwhelming. He had great suggestions and everything came right on time. Overall it was a great experience. Honestly given the choice I would rather go to love is blind over Dolores Lolita. The restaurant is better, the service is better and the parking options are better.

    What an amazing night we had. I'm glad I picked it for our valentine's day outing.

And talk about exceeding guest expectations Thank you Cesar for printing out our valentine's day event tickets! Such a cute romantic little spot in the gables. Will definitely be coming back.

    Came for a big wedding rehearsal dinner and it definitely surpassed my expectations. I have gone to Lolita and Crazy About You, but never here. First of all, the place is super beautiful. It's like a nice, romantic, but at the same time kind of cozy environment. The decor is also really detailed and different. Being that it was so many of us, we had a prefixed menu, but it couldn't have been any better. Waiters were extremely helpful, friendly and attentive. Kindly suggested drinks for us, and offered a great service overall. Will definitely be back. I truly recommend!

    We had such a wonderful experience at the baby shower that we hosted today. From the start of planning this event, Guillermo was extremely helpful and thorough at answering all of our questions and making wonderful suggestions to make this event a success. Today, The hostesses and all of the servers were so kind and seemed to really enjoy cateri g to our guests. The food was delicious, the ambience was amazing and the service was above and beyond what we could have expected or hoped for. Caesar did a great job of overseeing the event and making sure that every detail was attended to. Jordan provided excellent service to every single one of our guests-they were both so attentive and courteous. We look forward to dining there many more times in the future and plan on bringing family and friends to enjoy this wonderful experience!

    Went for the first time to celebrate Valentine's on the 16th with wife. The ambient really set the right mood for special night. I can really say that they marked the difference with all the little details and special attention. The waiter Steven gave great service! Was attentive the whole time not just at the end like others. One of the managers ceaser was also very attentive and gave us great insight. The food portions were just right, not too much not too little. It had great taste! It was unique. The dessert is a whole experience! The intended hole restaurant was an experience!

    Came here for dinner and had a lovely time. The restaurant is decorated so romantically, candles burning everywhere, old books scattered throughout the place, dim lighting and love quotes displayed on the ceiling. Perfect for a date. The menu is set up just like Dolores, which is you haven't been it is set up with three different price options, all groups include an appetizer. The food was all very good, we were stuffed by the meals end. We ordered a bottle of wind (which is half off on Wednesdays) and it was perfect for our table. I am taking one star away for the valet. When we arrived all he said was "pay now please". It was so rude and unusual. Usually you pay when you collect your car, not when you drop it off - it was a turn off. I took off another star because after the meal two if us ordered an espresso shot and it took over half an hour to get to the table. It was rediculous. The server told us he couldn't put in the coffee order till after the desert was brought to the table. Sounded like he forgot about it altogether. In any event, it was a nice experience and I would come back. It's located right behind merrick park so it's nice to walk around after eating.

    This was our second visit to love is blind. The decor is absolutely amazing! There is a great atmosphere and makes for some nice pictures. The drink selection is pretty good, they have some amazing cocktails. Bourbon drinkers would like the sex on fire, has great flavor! The food is also fantastic! The chicken and waffles is a new addition and its the best in town. This gives Kush a run for their money. The service was unusually slow this evening, we were waiting most of the evening on our server to come over, which is preventing me from the five stars.

    Love Is Blind has been on my list to try for a while now so when my coworker chose this restaurant to celebrate her BDay I was totally looking forward to it. We arrived at a quarter past noon and the restaurant was quite empty. The server was friendly and accommodating. To drink I ordered the heartbreaker and it was DELICIOUS, mango, tequila & prosecco, my 3 favorite things all in one. The lunch specials were reasonably priced for the restaurant and area we were at. It brought an appetizer which I choose croquetas which were amazing. For my main course I hand the skinny Lolita chicken with fries. The fries were fantastic and the chicken was ok nothing to say wow. The desserts were nothing out of this world. We shared the nutella pizza and the brownie but they were both very dry and flavorless. The rest of the group was not satisfied with their meals. They each had some type of complaint. Whether it was the food or slow service. But what do you expect for such a big party of 8 whining women. I don't recommend this place for large parties but instead for a nice romantic dinner with a friend or significant other. I look forward to giving it another try with my boyfriend in the future.

    What an amazing restaraunt! 5 stars !! From the moment we walked in to the wonderful Sexy,Romantic surroundings was a winner for us. We had no reservations we were walk-in's & mind you Mother's Day wkend & the staff was so gracious. Ricardo in one word FANTASTIC! He stated he would get us a table in a moments notice & indeed he did from ordering drinks @ the scenery bar to sitting us down for Dinner A+++ by the way. Cesare our server was great & to the T with our orders, presentation GREAT! Super Friendly chic place!! LOVED IT!

    Okay, so I went to LIB for brunch this past Sunday and I absolutely loved it!! They had unlimited .99 mimosas so of course I started calling the waiter Linus :) I had the Pizza Oven Baked Omelet with cheddar, spinach, and bacon. I can honestly say it was the best omelet I have had in my life. It was so full of flavor and it was cooked perfectly. The brunch entree also came with an appetizer, I chose the Serrano ham croquettes. Personally, I did not care for them. There was not a hint of Serrano ham flavor and it was way too creamy for my taste (2 of 4 people in my group liked them though so it is simply ones taste preference). I will be going back and soon!!!

  • Frank B.

    This review is based wholly on a terrible service experience.. So I go to this place on a Sunday night around 8:45pm and the restaurant is basically empty except for another table with a party of 3 and let them know that we're a party 17 and would like to sit together. They have a private room but apparently, per the manager, they couldn't stay us there because they didn't have a waiter for that area.. Once again, there were literally 3 other people in the whole restaurant! The manager is the same guy from the night before when I hosted a party of about 40 at the sister restaurant crazy about you in Brickell.. At any rate, we end up being seated. Try placing an order for a pizza as an additional appetizer and the waiter insist that we don't. We explain to him we are familiar with the way their menu works but we'd still like an additional pizza as an appetizer. Who's paying here, last I checked it wasn't the waiter..?? Next I tell him I'm not eating and he tells us there's a $10 charge for sharing. No biggie, except I let him know, I'M NOT EATING!! He continues blabbing about the $10 "sharing" fee. Once again, no big deal, if I was going to share.. I tell him again " I jugs had dinner just hosting some friends from out of town". By this point I'm pretty annoyed and call the manager basically to get this waiter in check and manager comes over with the same attitude.. Not sure if this was a fluke in the service but I will not be coming back to this establishment and will not be recommending this place to anyone based on my last experience there.

    My husband and I went to love is blind to celebrate our 2year wedding anniversary, we were not disappointed. To start with we had an amazing waiter, that explained everything on the menu to us (our first time there). Our waiters name was Manny, if your thinking of eating there ask for him! The food was also amazing!!!! Manny helped us pick the perfect dish. We will definitely be back!

    The two star is not for the food, the food was good and my waiter was amazing! But I wish I could say the same for the hostess. My friend and I were seating side by side (mind you we are both petite women) because she was showing me some pictures, at which time the hostess not in a very nice matter said to us "You have to get up and move because these people are going to be seating here (btw, here was the table next to us)... I guess the couple felt embarrassed for us because they said not to move... We called the Manager and she was very apologetic and professional.

    As I walked in to the restaurant there was no one at the front, I waited a minute or so an decided to sit on my own. The restaurant was almost empty for lunch time. The hostess walked past me and didn't even say hi or if I needed help. After sitting at the table for 10 minutes without anyone coming to attend me, I went to speak to the hostess which then told me that wasn't the sitting area, mind you she past right by me without telling me anything. The food wasn't great I had a Cuban New York sandwich which a bit on the dry side and on top of that the fries tasted like they were fried with old oil. With that being said, I am never coming again.

    Just had a very unpleasant experience here, as the hostess staff was very rude. There were plenty of empty tables right by the entrance yet she took us to the back and wanted to sit us at a table right next to a party of screaming girls. When we nicely asked to be seated elsewhere she said the other tables were for guests who had reserved. When we said then we would leave, she said ok, very matter of fact like. As we walked out I said to her, you mean to tell me all these countless tables are all reserved? She said well I guess you can sit on that one. Unbelievable! This restaurant needs to get their act together. I certainly won't recommend it. Too many nice places in the neighborhood.

    We decided to visit for Brunch. The food was great! We tried for appetizers, Charcuterie... Three Little Pigs, Serrano Ham Croquettes, Chorizo and for our meals we had Potato Frittata and Grilled Short Rib Benedict. Everything we had was delicious. For drinks we tried a Mimosa and a red Sangria, and both were excellent. There was a great ambiance. All staff we encountered {Hostess, Waiter and management} were friendly and attentive our needs. I would recommend this restaurant and definitely visit again.

    So, despite living here for almost two years, I had yet to go to one of the Passion Group restaurants before. I know, I know. I think it had something to do with the names of the restaurants. For some reason, they were off-putting. Gimmicky? I'm not quite sure. But one Friday night, work found me down in the Gables and I was hungry. As luck would have it, one of my college roommates lives in the Gables and he didn't have anything to do that night... so, dinner it was. Ignoring the name (and candlelit seating &, admittedly, fetching Mediterranean decor), we made our way to Love Is Blind and settled in for a night of catching up. He'd been to this family of restaurants before so he knew the deal. As mentioned above, I had not... so when I got a glimpse at the app with entree and different price point dinners, I was all 'whhhaaa??' I love me a surprise good deal. Adding to my 'Price Is Right' ecstasy, I found the wine prices to be extremely reasonable and you know what that means... poppin' bottles!* Keep the cab coming! Studiously pouring over the menu, I was ready to do the thing when our waitress, Charisel, came by. Charisel, by the way, was a fantastic waitress. In a city where bad service is (unfortunately) the norm, I will always do my level best to call out the good ones. Charisel is a good one. Come here and ask to be in her section. She was helpful when it came to choosing what to eat and I settled on two winners. For my app, I went with the calamari sofrito. The dish was overflowing with calamari, delicious seasoning, veggies, and dipping sauce. I could have been satisfied with only this (and the House Cab). For my entree, I decided (with the help of Charisel) on the duck pizza. It came with pineapple, spinach and bbq sauce. At first glance, that sounds like an unappetizing combo. You would be mistaken. It was magically delicious. The price for my solid food? $14.99. Granted, I came here before the menu change and (slight) price hike but, seriously. $14.99. Love isn't blind. Love is a competitively-priced menu with flowing bottles of wine. *Wait, that's not how you use the phrase?

    Went for an early Valentine's Date and we will definitely be back. Made reservations on Open Table so we were seated right away. I recommend you do that bc the place was packed and we went for a late dinner at 10pm. Appetizers are included with the meal at "no extra" charge. The entrees are in the mid $20 range so I see the appetizer in that price but it's a nice "idea" anyway. The food was awesome. Dessert was to die for: a Nutella pizza. My wife and I are always finding "our new spot" but we never go back. Not this time. It was elegant yet not pretentious. Great food at a decent price. For the price of Cheesecake Factory you can have a one of a kind meal.

    I actually hope Love is NOT Blind in this case because the decor was beautiful and it would be a shame not to be able to see it. A romantic renaissance feel with sculptures, wood, iron, and dripping candles galore, this place definately knows how to set the scene. I have been to Crazy About You, one of their other 2 miami restaurants, and very much enjoy it. The concept of a three-price-tier dinner is great too. I had the calamari appetizer, which was a little heavy handed on the breading but seasoned nicely. And for my main course I had the filet mignon atop potato fingers with peppers and onions. My date had the seabass with a delicious sauce. Both dishes were very good and nicely portioned. The service was also attentive and friendly. I would go back, and next time im looking forward to trying the bar out.

    I was treated with such arrogance by the assistant manager upon arrival for my best friends 40th birthday, that I could not enjoy this place after the confrontation. She was not delicate or apologetic and I was not about to swallow her attitude. I will say the food was good (not great) , and our waitress was very nice. My last slap on the face was seeing the assistant manager on the way out, and after spending 400$ she did not say good bye or thank you. I cannot recommend a place with this kind of management.

    The location is hidden from the main street so if you don't pass by the area you would never see this place. It's just a few steps away from Ponce de Leon on the way to the Merrick Park Mall. After a few months of wanting to try the place, my husband and I finally went for lunch today. Service was excellent. The food was good and the price was very reasonable considering the high end atmosphere. $10 - $15 for everything on the lunch menu. You get a free appetizer with any lunch item you order. I didn't know it's the same owner as " Dolores but you can call me Lolita". We will definitley be returning soon!

    Absolutely love this place! Was introduced to it by a co worker that worked around the corner from it and I must say it really is a great spot to unwind after work. The staff is great and so is the food. Especially the croquettes. Yum!!

    The Passion Restaurant Group has won my heart completely. Love Is Blind is by far my favorite one out of its restaurants (Dolores But You CAn Call Me Lolita and Crazy About You are still good though). Its decoration is beautiful, vintage, and romantic - Lots and lots of candles and they are REAL candles. This place is perfect for couples, family, and girlfriends/boyfriends. I am not so sure about bros hanging out here though. Besides being beautiful, you can find humor in this restaurant. What got my attention was the empty can on every single table at the restaurant - this is where everyone at the table puts their phones in so that people can actually enjoy their time with whomever they came with instead of staring at their phones. It got me chuckled and next time I come here with my girlfriends, I am planning on making whoever picks up the phone from the can pays the tab. My boyfriend and I sat at a quiet small table. The menu is broken down into three different set entrees at different prices ($17.99, $20.99, and $24.99) which all include an appetizer. I got the Calamari Sofrito and the Braised Steak Brasatto. The Calamari was very good but its portion is a bit much for one person. I would recommend sharing with someone. The Braised Steak Brasatto was amazing!!!! Creamy stew with chickpeas.. I am still dreaming about this entree. I didn't finish my meal because I had to get their signature dessert called the American Dream Dessert. Given a scoop of ice cream, brownies, chocolate syrup, cocoa powder, whip cream, and strawberries, you make your own art dessert on a plate. They also give you a piece of paper where you write down your dreams and you put the paper in a big vodka bottle and if you get selected later, you get a free dinner! My boyfriend and I had a great time at the restaurant. We fell in love with its beautiful, unique, and fun atmosphere. I can't wait to bring my girlfriends to this restaurant and make some funny looking dessert. Oh, also their house wine bottle only costs $14! Our server was very attentive and fun to talk to. We got our food and check pretty quick. I was also very impressed by a manager at the restaurant because he was working as much or harder than waiters there. Our bill came down to around $66.00 - a bottle of wine, two entrees (and appetizers), and a dessert. It was perfect.

    Giving 1 star because it's the only choice. Party of 11 girls and we and we were the only people in the restaurant. Service awful... Food took forever to get borderline ridiculous. Come for happy hour... That's it. I returned my food three times and it was simple fajitas. HORRIBLE....leaving at 3pm without eating and got here at noon.

    While ambiance is trendy and service was Great food was meh. The 15.00 bottle of house wine was worth it but the food was no where near the level of price. This restaurant puts food as third important and it shows.

    Even after reading the bad reviews, I still went to check this place out as I was told it was similar to Crazy about you! I have to say i loved the environment and the food was delicious, the croquettes are my favorite. Perfect place for a romantic date with your love. The service was excellent

    With plenty of likes and recommended by friends, Love is blind was a surprise at first and then regular dinner afterwards. Had a few ups and downs, but mostly ups! The place is decorated in a very modern, high-end style, which I can easily see why women love this place. Very much a like a sex and the city scene with all the modern house wives having their champagnes and loud chatters. Unfortunately, We sat next to one of those tables and they were LOUD. The restaurant's acoustics are terrible. Don't count on a quite dinner here unless requested. The service is top notch. The manager also walks around asking "how's everything?" once or twice, very friendly. The music in the background is up beat deep house. Just like "Dolores, but you can call me Lolita", which btw, Love is Blind is the 3rd of it's chain. The food, wasn't amazing. Even the "Best Croquettes you'll ever have." are not the best I ever had. The pizza Margarita and the Lolita's Chicken weren't nothing wow. A little dissapointing for such High-end comfort. So, nothing wow off the menu so far. The dessert looked like fun though. We didn't order it but the loud table next to us had Ice Cream sundae, which you make yourself on the table. Waitress brings the ingredients; chocolate syrup, ice cream, toppings, etc. all for you to serve however you like it. Don't know how it tasted, but looked like fun. The price wasn't bad at all. Something I didn't expected especially for being right behind "The Collection" Car dealer ship in Coral Gables. Worth the money? Yes! Cheapest = $45 - dinner for 2 including tax and tip! I give it 5 out of 5

    This is actually my first bad review ever.. When we walked in the hostess didn't want to sit us because we were missing two people from our party of 6. I have worked in restaurants for 15 years and the normal procedure is to wait for half the party to arrive before being seated. So we sat at the bar to get some drinks while we waited. The bartender took so long to greet us and get our drinks that my 1 hour parking expired by the time we got our drinks. I literally got the text to add more money to the meter.. We finally got to our table and we didn't even get a hello or anything from our server. I don't think I heard his voice until he asked if we wanted dessert. The drinks we terrible. One of our friends had a bug in his mimosa and when our server took it to the bar to return it the bartender poured out half of the mimosa and added more oj.. I know this because we were sitting at clear view of service bar. So he basically got a full glass of oj.. The food wasn't all that. The we got a Nutella pizza for dessert: how can you mess up Nutella? Idk, but they did with their super soggy chewy pizza that I couldn't even bite into. The poor manager was running around aimlessly. Like if they just found a random person, put him in a restaurant and said "ok, go manage.. Good luck". This was the worst experience ever. I will definitely never go back.. Get it together love is blind, get it together.

    Always on the hunt for a new brunch spot I decided to try this place mostly because of the 0.99 mimosas. I figured if the food is bad you could always just order another mimosa, its a win win. However I was pleasantly surprised. We started off with the ham croquettes which were supposed to be the best I've ever tasted (so says the menu) but although quite yummy they were not the best I've ever had. Now on to the entrees I decided to go with the Chicken and Waffles and my friend went with the grilled short rib benedict. This being my first time trying chicken and waffles I was worried that I would not like the combo but that was not the case at all. I went light on the syrup which I think made the difference. My friend left her plate nice and clean so I'd say it's a thumbs up from her. Although we were pretty full we decided to try the nutella pizza for dessert which was absolutely magical. I'll be back soon to try their dinner menu.

    Beautiful environment and interior design it is obvious that the designers know what they are doing... Which brings is to the downright bad food.. For brunch I had the the short rib Benedict , the meat itself seemed to be a pretty poor quality and the brazing sauce was very sweet and really clashed with the hollandaise sauce. The patatas bravas we just wet tomato sauce soaked potatoes and not with the second bite.. The bright point being the Caesar salad was pretty good. My wife's steak and eggs were pretty bad too at least as far as the steak was concerned..

    My boyfriend and I went to Love Is Blind the day before Valentines Day. I was very impressed with the decor and ambiance. The service was was also really great. My only complaint, is that the food was just okay. The croquettes that everyone raves about didn't have much flavor, and the rest of the meal wasn't that amazing. I guess I was expecting a bit more as far as flavor. I live walking distance to Love Is Blind and I plan to go back and try it again. I hope I can write a better review next time.

    Love is Blind is another great concept from the Dolores/Lolita restaurant group. If you've been to any one of their restaurants you know what your getting. What i like about Love is Blind is the amazing decor and feel you have when you walk into the restaurant. Only con for me was the ladies room is small and is missing a full length mirror. The food was good, nothing spectacular. I do think that they need to add more to their desert menu. The pricing makes it great because you're not spending an arm and a leg but you get the same service and feel as if you were. ehhh....i guess I would come back

    If you want to be lied to and disrespected, this is the restaurant for you! If you don't want to read the below review just PLEASE KNOW THAT I WOULD RATHER BURN MY MOMEY THAN SPEND IT HERE. this restaurant and it's restaurant group ( they also own Dolores and crazy about you in Brickell) deserve zero respect. showed up a few minutes after 2PM for our 2 o'clock reservation and was told We would have to wait until the table was ready. The restaurant was busy but certainly not packed. We were seated at 2:25 (25 minutes late, strike one). We asked the hostess if there were 99 cent mimosas (special posted on their Facebook) and she said yes. When we asked her if brunch was good she told us she had never tried any of the food. Really?? When our waiter finally arrived to our table after we had been seated for 10 minutes, we told him we all wanted mimosas. In fact, we said we would be wanting a round about every 10 minutes. He said that was no problem and he'd be back. He showed up 10 minutes later asking if we wanted the good or bad news first. He let us know that not only did the restaurant run out of orange juice and champagne but that this would also be our last (although it was our first) mimosa. But you couldn't call it a mimosa considering he brought pineapple juice with it. Next, he proceeds to lie (and not for the first time) that we should consider ourselves lucky because it was Moët champagne. It wasn't. It was cheap champagne, because I passed on the nasty pineapple juice. After we told him that's why we came, we asked if they could cut us some sort of deal. (I.e $0.99 sangria which was priced the same as the mimosas not on special). Our waiter said he would check with the manager and be back. I wish I was joking when I say...he never came back. Ever. We asked for a manager. And no one showed up. Ever. We then got to talking with the table next to us that looked like they were drinking pineapple sangria (and not real sangria) and they said that they cut off their mimosas as well. Except, they had let them know they ran out...BEFORE we sat down and BEFORE they agreed to keep the rounds coming every 10 minutes or so. Our waiter avoided us like the plague. He purposely deceived us, lied and then instead of doing the right thing, ignored us. By the way, his name started with a D and he was Colombian. Avoid him. He is a liar. What did we do? We left $6.00 for 4 $0.99 fake Moët champagne mimosas with pineapple juice and walked out. No one said anything. I would rather burn my money than eat at this restaurant. This is a classless place. Everyone in the restaurant was complaining and unhappy. I wish I could give zero stars.

    Make sure you pay cash!!! Second time that this place charges my credit card multiple times for the same meal. When I went to ask for a refund they seemed annoyed that I was making a big deal about being charged 3x for my meal. Said that they would refund my money within 3-5 business days. I'll never be back

    My 3rd time at Love is Blind. I made a last minute reservation because my newlywed niece and her husband were stranded in Miami from the hurricane in Antigua. I chose this restaurant because it is so romantic with all the candles and atmosphere. The waiter stated them with a glass of champagne, along with our drinks. Our appetizers were delicious. The croquettes, were amazing. As was the oyster soup. My new nephew had the charcuterie and loved it. The tuna tartar was delicious. We loved the restaurant and will be back very soon.

    I had a great experience at this restaurant. My boyfriend and I went and we were kindly greeted by our server, Manny. He was very delightful and humorous. My boyfriend ordered the pot roast which was absolutely delicious. Cooked to perfection. I ordered the ribs and those were also delicious. But definitely the highlight of this experience was the staff being extremely welcoming, polite and generous. We had two gift cards and unfortunately only one ended up working. Cesar, one of the managers, was kind enough to remove a meal from our bill in order to accommodate and help us out, which was totally unexpected and extremely nice of him. Cesar was mostly concerned about us having a great experience, than it being tainted by a faulty gift card. Which was purely generous of him to do and showed us that he cared more about the customers well being than money in their pocket. I also loved the environment. Crazy about you and Dolores but you can call me Lolita, are very tight and congested. Love is blind, on the other hand is very spacious and has a more romantic/quiet atmosphere which I personally enjoy more. I would recommend this place to anyone who would wanna have a nice time out, whether it's with your friends, significant other or family. Small act of kindness goes a long way...

    Wow, what a delight! The amazing ambience sets the stage for the wonderful service and unique, fantastic food that follows. Camilo was a most-attentive server, very kind, fun, and not shy to steer me back on track when I went to order a Caesar salad for my (included) appetizer to accompany my Zucchini Linguine. He suggested I try something more unique to the restaurant, and he was right; the Spinach Salad with Strawberries and Queso Fresco was fantastic. The true miracle here is how reasonable the prices are. $22 for my two courses of incredibly well-prepared food with gourmet ingredients, including beautiful focaccia to start, and $5 for a generous glass of wine. A true find. I tried to book again for Friday night and Saturday night, but both nights are completely booked. Plan ahead for this gem.

    I came with with a group of my closest girlfriends and had a great time! This restaurant has the same owners of "Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita" in Brickell. The decor feels very hipster and romantic with a side of eclectic trinkets. You will be surrounded by different types of lamps and lights that add lots of character. Plus there are really coll and romantic quotes written all over the walls to add a touch of uniqueness. Plus there is really good music playing in the background to give it a young ambiance. Besides "the look".... I was impressed by the menu selection. I found it hard to narrow down my choice because it all seemed so yummy. You would have your typical sliders, ect... , but it will have kobe beef instead. YUM! I had "I Can't Believe It's Not Pasta," which is made out of Zucchini instead of pasta. This was to die for! All the cheese and mixed in with the "GREY GOOSE" infused pink vodka sauce was mind blowing. I could not believe that I was actually eating zucchini and not pasta. The name of this dish could not be anymore perfect.

  • Marisol S.

    The attention to detail, quality service and the humorous details was amazing. I was able to try the caprese salad, which served up to 3 individuals and had an amazing not overpowering vinaigrette. The ham crogquettes were freshly cooked, and tasted devine, as the bechemel sauce was not too rich and extremly savory. The veal churrasco was tender, cooked to perfection, and very savory. You do not often see a veal churrasco as an option. I could have done without the moros, as they were bland and very dry. Felt like the rice had been sitting out for a while or days. The fufu was extremely delicious, but I would add more garlic to it. :) My salmon was amazing. I am not one to enjoy that overly fishy taste, but that was NOT at all the case here. It came in a lemony sauce with potatoes au gratin. We finished up the evening with the nutella pizza, which was a bit over done for my taste. All in all, we (9 of us) had an amazing experience, and I am definitely looking forward to going back!

But i guess she never got the memo that theres was a protocol to follow in order to make costumer to feel like its was worth the money!!! Great place ... But my server mistakes kept adding up! And honestly with such a great place i expected the service to be on point ! And she was closer to mediocre than to ok! Please by all means just a little more professionalism from my server could have gone a long way!!

  • Kirby B.

    I had a reservation three weeks in advance, I got there and waited over an hour for a seat. Then we waited forever for the waitress, ordered, and then they brought out one of the meals completely wrong so then my husband had to wait even MORE. She even acknowledged her service was not up to par at the end of the meal. The meal itself was good, appetizers were good, but the wait times and customer service were not so great at all. We didn't even want to order dessert so we wouldn't wait even longer, and it was my birthday. Dessert is the whole point of a bday dinner. Never again... The hostesses telling my husband and I that it would be 5 more minutes at fifteen minute intervals. What's the point of making a reservation if I'm going to wait just as long? I used to be a hostess many years ago and if you're expecting a party and this time, and they're on time, there's no excuse to have them wait more than maybe 10 minutes. None. You should've been prepared for that table, period.

    Love is Blind was recommended to me by a few friends. All their highlights were on the money. I celebrated my daughter's 16th Birthday dinner in the "Wine Room". for a party of 10. Laura, Erwin and Anthony were incredibly accommodating and on point with every request and service. I appreciated the precise follow up from the "event's team" with the contract and it's execution. Excellent price point per person chosen at $29.00 pp included the famous croquettes, calamari, Cesar salad, braised beef (so tender), half-chicken and bacon mashed potatoes.The fickle teenagers left the plates clean! We brought our own cake which was handled perfectly by the staff. The decor and ambiance was second to none. I will be back for a romantic dinner and/or hot happy hour scene. Happy to recommend!

    I went to Love is Blind to taste a new menu from Chef Morisi. Being a fan of the Passion Group (having previously dined at LIB's sister restaurant Dolores, But You Can Call Me Lolita) and already having Crazy About You and Love Is Blind on my radar, I was excited to see what the romantically named restaurant was all about.When I walked inside, I was floored. Every detail within the restaurant had me completely enamored. The food wasn't served in the dining area as it was a special tasting but that didn't take away the fun for couples and singles alike flair it brought with it. A definite fan!

    Awesome atmosphere. Well trained, happy and service oriented staff. Best croquetas this side of Madrid!! Some healthy choices. The fish selection was very good and both dishes we tried were 4 star!! Wine list is varied and excellent with some well thought out choices. Great for a date or for groups. Cool vibe. I don't love their Lolita location so wasn't expecting to be wowed here but they have elevated their game at this place. Worth a trip.

    This place is great. I came here for the first time this past weekend for brunch. The restaurant has a great ambiance and fun décor with interesting little signs and sayings cleverly posted (e.g. they have a little box on each table with a label encouraging you to place your cell phone in the box for "a more enjoyable dinner, an improvement in your relationship, and definitely a better gastronomic experience"). The brunch menu was a nice mix of interesting items and was a pretty good value. I had the short ribs benedict and my friend had the breakfast calzone. Both were excellent, and you can't beat $.99 mimosas! To top it off, our waiter was awesome...I wish I could remember his name, but he was really great... really funny, friendly and attentive. I actually commented that I want him to be my waiter at EVERY restaurant I go to! I'm definitely bringing my husband back to try dinner one evening.

    If I had to describe the food at Love is Blind in one word, it'd be unremarkable. I ordered the oyster bisque as an appetizer and it was good. For the main course I had their braised steak brassato which was under seasoned all around. The fried egg on top was over cooked making it not so sunny or runny. The service was slow, my boyfriend and I waited 15 mins for the check to arrive. For the same price point, I rather go to it's sister restaurant, Dolores Lolita and enjoy their great outdoor seating.

    This is definitely my favorite of the 3 Passion Group Restaurants in Miami (Crazy About You and Dolores/Lolita's being the the other 2). My boyfriend took me here on Thursday night for a pre-Valentine's celebration. The ambiance was great, but the service was even better. We sat at the bar for about 15 minutes as we waited for a table and Cecy, one of the bartenders, made the wait so much fun! She was extremely friendly and made some amazing drinks! Once seated, our server, Ervin, was extremely knowledgable about the menu and super pleasant and nice. All of his recommendations were awesome. When we come back for drinks or for the delicious zucchini pasta and croquettes, we will definitely have a drink with Cecy and ask to be seated with Ervin. Thanks for a great night, Passion group!

    I truly love this place. My first time there with my boyfriend and it was a good experience. I made reservations online and got there 3 min late, and we were taken to our table within 2 min. Our server was Tatiana she was very on point, took really good care of us and took the time to go over the menu and explain everything; she was very patient. I had the (I can't believe is not pasta) and it was zucchini topped With salmon and grey goose vodka cream. It was amazing, just the right portion. My boyfriend on the other hand, had the (brick oven half roasted chicken) it was just the chicken and mashed potatoes. He didn't really like his food it just wasn't his taste. That being said, right before we even order, Tatiana mention if we didn't like what we got she could take it back and we could order something else but my bf didn't want to, so we didn't say anything until the end. Tatiana, was very nice about it and asked him if he wanted something else, but he said no; so, she told us she wouldn't charge us for his meal which was very nice. Later on the manager stopped by to ask us how was everything. And he asked if there was something they could do to improve, but honestly, No!!. I love the restaurant and the service was pretty great. Will most definitely come back. I almost forgot, the restaurant has very romantic and nice quotes around the ceiling. It is a very romantic restaurant but it is a bit crowded and noisy so I suggest if you're going on a first date, you try to sit outside. It is much quieter and romantic.

    This was terrible from the get go. A 10 people party had reservation at 1015 AM for brunch. They did not seat us until 11:00 AM. After we sat down the manager recommended us to have large plate of eggs and another plate of bacon for sharing as a meal instead of the regular menu. Of course we decided against that and got confronted by saying that they will do it this time but not in the future because they had a larger party to attend. What? So I said to myself, service sucks however, the food was going to be awesome. Boy was I wrong! I got the triple decker with white bread, asked if it was white bread instead of sour and was lied to affirming it was sour bread. Another plate was the Benedict eggs with short ribs: very disappointing at best. In short go to any other brunch place.

    Love is Blind has one of the coolest decors I've ever seen. the ambiance is nice and upbeat, kind of loud but in a good way. My fiancé and I went on a Friday night and the restaurant was super packed!!! The hostess told us it would be about a 35-45 min wait so we decided to grab a drink at the bar. Luckily we were able to find two seats. The bar was a little unorganized and the bartenders were running back and fourth instead of having 2 bartenders serving each side which made it difficult to order a drink. We ordered the house bottle of wine which was $15 for a bottle---not bad for the price! The table was taking longer than expected so we ordered some ham croquettes to start. They were delicious! After about an hour our table was ready. Our server Lexi was great, and recommended some awesome dishes. We ended up going with the juevos rotos and calamari sofrito to start. Both were amazing and light. For our main course we had the roasted chicken with bacon mashed and the I cannot believe its not pasta with zucchini and salmon. The portion of the roasted chicken was definitely big enough to share but I didn't mind going home with left overs. We didn't have dessert but will definitely be back. Amazing food for a great price!

    Place boasted they had the best croquettes and I was tempted to try. I have had a lot of croquettes in my food adventures. Decor was very cool and trendy. There are sayings on the walls and weird lighting fixtures. Started by sitting at the bar where they serve you popcorn which is actually delicious. There happy hour was $5 wine glasses and then a "beat the clock" type deal on champagne. I opted for the wine because I was driving however the champagne happy hour was extremely tempting. Ordered the croquettes which I can vouch are by far one of the best I have ever had. Absolutely delicious - the right amount of crunch to the outside and right amount of creaminess and flavor on the inside. For dinner I had the oyster bisque soup and gnocchi pesto with mushrooms main dish. Both also delicious. The oyster bisque is a little salty but I like my food salty. Definitely plan to return to this place for a full meal.

    THIS restaurant does NOT carry, accept or provide change, as in quarters, dimes. We had the best intentions to enjoy - alas the ONLY parking nearby is pay-by-meter. In a city where you ONLY move via car, this restaurant does NOT provide change (ie to pay your meter or parking). Meaning you NEED change to pay it. It's customary to have the bartender change money - to at least refill your METER & stay longer @ the bar....Mostly if you're a tourist or visitor in Miami. The restaurant's management nor staff did not help. We had to leave. WHAT WERE THEY thinking??? No wonder it was EMPTY like a cave.

    While the ambience is nice the food was overpriced and the quality left something to be desired. One of the meals we ordered came out and was nothing like was described on the menu. Every single thing on the plate came out fried (even the asparagus) and it came on a bed of popcorn. Yes, popcorn. Needless to say that plate didn't seem like it was worth $25. When we couldn't find our server to get an extra plate so that we could share my meal, which came out ok, we grabbed a clean one that was sitting on an empty table next to us. A server came up shortly after and rudely said "you could have asked us for a plate." I told him we would have asked our server if he were anywhere to be found. We left shortly after and went to have coffee and dessert somewhere else.

    Great place to have a great time and more importantly great service!!!! Steven aka "Mario Lopez" because all the girls say he is an "M.L" look a like, lolol is awesome! He takes care of us over and be on the call everytime we go there. Also I want to mention Natasha. Natasha is the very best! She takes care of us like if we are family. I would recommend that if you're looking for a great spot to call "your spot" try Love is Blind and definitely ask for Natasha and Steven, tell them Alex sent you!

    The food was great! We tried the Tuna, Seabass, churrasco, croquetas, quinoa lettuce wraps, assortment of cheeses and ham... all delicious. The ambiance was beautiful, modern and cosy. The waiter, hostess and manager (who approached our table to say thank you) were very friendly and appreciative of us being there. I would definelty try this restaurant again!!!!

    Great ambience! Second time and that is enough to say that it is true to its sister restaurants. The food is tasty and service is very good as well. We had reservations and were seated promptly. I would visit again. Make sure you have the croquetas. I ordered the seabass and it was delicious! Our guests has the chicken and they said it was quite tasty as well. I recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

    Beautiful atmosphere. Love the decor! Now the food is not worth the price. The salad appetizer is okay but not great. I ordered the "not pasta dish" and it left me appalled by the amount of sauce the zucchini was drowned in and the 5 small pieces salmon they so "generously" added. Not what I was waiting for.

    Loved this place, what a great place for a date,or to hang out with friends for drinks. Candles lit up everywhere,gives it an amazing ambiance. Was pleasantly surprised by the set menu prices,being that its in the gables,it was very affordable. You either spend 17,21 or $24 & it includes appetizer, I chose the huevos rotos to start and the Strawberry Risotto, it was delish! The drinks where affordable and the waiter never left our wine glasses empty, very good service,great food, great ambiance and good friends ,cant go wrong!

    I give this place 4 stars based on food, service and value. I could also do it based on decor, which if you are one of those people that loves shower curtains from Bed, Bath and Beyond that have words printed in French and images of boudoir items such as hat boxes, vintage handheld mirrors, and powder puffs, then this will basically become your favorite restaurant. Each entree includes a nicely portioned appetizer, the entrees were all very good except the tuna tartar, which was sub-par. The caesar salad was great, so was the charcuterie plate. Chicken paillard was tasty, if you're looking for something lighter on the menu. Wine bottles are $14, glasses are $4. Give my preference for Japanese restaurant interiors, the decor is not my style, but If you're looking for a nice place to eat with family and still have some cash left over to buy the matching tissue box cover and toothbrush holder to match your BB&B shower curtain, then this is your spot.

    The atmosphere in this restaurant is awesome! I took my family and girlfriend last week for dinner and had an amazing time and meal. Our waiter's energy and attention to detail really made the experience that much better. Next time I visit i will request the same waiter, Steven is AWESOME. There was also an issue when I handed Steven my credit card to pay. However, him being such a great guy did not make it known to everyone. He simply handed me a note stating that the card did not go through, I apologized and thanked him for the discretion and handed him the correct card. Will definitely visit again!

    To start off, the restaurant is beautiful! We had reservations on a Friday night at 8 which I don't think was completely necessary but it's nice just to be on the safe side. The bread that they start you off with is delicious and then we had the croquettes. They were warm, crispy, creamy, amazing. My bf had the cheese calzone which he really enjoyed. The $5 (I think it's $5) glasses of wine is another amazing part of the restaurant. They have a happy hour at the bar but don't offer it in the dining room. For my entree I had the Tuna Tartare which was good but not the best I've had. Some of the pieces were way too big and stuck together. Other than that come for the appetizers, beautiful decor, and great drink specials.

    My girlfriend and I had an incredible night here. The vibe, the service and food were perfect. For the food and location the price is also very reasonable. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a good date night or out with friends. Our server Cesar was top notch and the manager Fabian was nice enough to check in and make sure everything was perfect. We will def come back again soon!

    Unfortunately I was charged twice for a dinner on Jan 27 and to this day have not had it fixed by management of this restaurant for whom I have left countless messages. This poor customer service takes away from any good experience that could have been had while dinning there.

  • Juan S.

    3 stars This is another in the line of restaurants from the owners of Dolores/Lolita and Crazy for You on Brickell. Probably the best thing going about this place is that it's a great value. Food is of decent quality. The atmosphere is loud but the decor is very nice. This is a popular place for groups. I went on a Wednesday night and the place was way too loud ....I can't even imagine what it's like on the weekends. I'd probably return, maybe for lunch....I wish something could be done about the noise.

    Service was amazing. Our waiter was extremely attentive. The croquettes were the best I have ever had. The Chilean Seabass was flavorful and the filet mignon was very tender. Overall great experience and I will definitely come back.

    Save your appetite for a different place. The decor is upscale and attractive, the service is good, but the food and value proposition leave a lot to be desired. Appetizers were the "huevos rotos", which appeared as a poor imitation to the other Gables restaurant serving this Spanish staple. The spinach salad was average, but the croquettes were pretty good. The oriental chicken salad is below average and I would skip it. The churasco was embarrassing. The cut of beef is clearly below quality standards for most Coral Gables restaurants...almost inedible. The rice and plantains were good, but can easily be replicated in any Cuban restaurant. If you decide to share appetizers or main courses, be aware that they will charge you $10.00. 2pm on a Friday and three two tables occupied, with a table of elderly ladies cheerfully celebrating a birthday and a young family of 3 nearby, but doesn't appear to be a very frequented place. (They don't have a kids menu, so not necessarily a place for families.) Unfortunately, this is the third restaurant in this spot that will likely not make it - nothing worth visiting since the original concept was built here years ago. Maybe it's time to convert it to something other than a restaurant since few can get it right in this hard to park location.

    we celebrated my sisters wedding reception at LOVE IS BLIND & it surpassed my expectations. not only is the food and ambiance of the place amazing the service is truly one of a kind. we were blessed to have JOSIE and MONICA in charge of our private party and they were the most caring, attentive and all around awesome people.... the guests were constantly served, drinks were constantly poured... smiles all around. a spectacular night celebrating my little sister. BIG THANK YOU to the amazing JOSIE & MONICA for a flawless & happy, happy night!

    I'm guessing that the owners of Crazy About You, Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita, and now Love is Blind must be naming their restaurants after the track list on some obscure 1980s hair metal band. However, since my wife and I can't get enough of their serrano ham and manchego croquetas we were pleasantly surprised to see them open a place in the Gables. Sure, 225 Altara is cursed. We've eaten at Chispa, Casuajuana, and Sake Blue in this same place. The layout for Love is Blind is essentially the same, though with more of the candle-lit flair that Dolores has. Sure enough, the croquettes -- self-billed as the best that you will ever try -- did not disappoint. The other appetizer we went with -- huevos rotos -- I thought would be like the Huevos Por Fin served at what is now Bulla's. It wasn't like that at all, but it was still pretty darn tasty with poached eggs on top of potatoes with crispy pieces of serrano sprinkled on top. As anyone that has been to Crazy or Dolores knows, the menu is broken down into three tiers of entrees at set price points and they all include an appetizer. As I've found at the two other restaurants, the appetizers were better than the main courses. We went with the skinny chicken and the kobe sliders, and the highlight were the razor-thin shoestring fries served with the sliders. There was room saved for dessert, and instead of the signature make your own dessert we went with the nutella pizza. It was crispy and sweet with strawberries, bananas, and a scoop of ice cream, but it wasn't as good as the nutella pizza served at Pizza Rustica. Service was outstanding. We had an attentive waiter, and our food came out quickly. The manager came around to get some feedback, pointing out that the glasses were made of wine bottles that were cut and smoothed over. We'll be back. We finally have one of the siblings of the Brickell darlings in our hood! I'll have to work my way through some of the entrees to find the one that's my calling. One problematic thing was that there were just three tables occupied when we went on a very early dinner on a Saturday (5:30pm) and there weren't many more table occupied when we left an hour later. 225 Altara is cursed, but hopefully there are enough Gables fans of Dolores and Crazy to make this work. If not, there's always the 1980s hair metal idea!

    Went to Love is Blind for dinner earlier this week. Had the cod croquetas and the Chilean sea bass for my entree. The croquetas were perfect, hot and salty. The seabass was amazing. Also had a delicious Malbec that was half off. Highly recommended. The service was outstanding; my only critique is that I tried my friend's churrasco and I wasn't too impressed. It was overdone and dry. Other than that, had a great time; it's a great spot for a special occasion. Can't wait to go back.

    Great service our waitress was super nice and extra attentive. The environment was very nice. it's a beautiful place... The food was good for the most part I had chicken and waffles it was a large portion. I wish their menu were a little bit more flexible , but u can't beat 99 cent mimosas on Sunday.

    I'm giving two stars because the food was excellent. We were out celebrating a birthday and things were a bit tainted because of the service from Carlos. There was a couple that arrived later than the rest of the party. After sitting we had to flag Carlos down to request a menu and drinks. There was no greeting or welcome to the establishment. After waiting for 10 minutes for a menu I ended up walking up to the host stand to get one. None of our party was asked how the meal was from the waiter. We had to ask for our drinks constantly. Only once did he ask if we needed a drink. We ate the breakfast calzone. It was delicious and the croquettes were amazing. Once our check came the manager asked how everything was and we let her know about the service being subpar. Being in the hospitality industry this is the part that bugged me. The manager confronted him on the floor at the front of the restaurant while we were still seated, making things very uncomfortable. The manager was nice enough to comp our drinks. They bring the corrected check back which is the wrong one, so again we have to wait for the new bill to come. When it comes we give our cards to what I'm assuming is the male manager and then we waited for 15 minutes with no receipts coming back. It looked like the male manager handed the cards to our waiter Carlos who didn't charge any cards. We had to ask another server to find our cards. After about 20 minutes we finally received our receipts to sign. Needless to say I won't be coming back even though the food was great. Being a manager myself I would never reprimand an employee on the floor in front of people especially while the customers were there.

    I hate writing bad reviews.. so ill start with the positive! they have drink specials at the bar on a Saturday night.. and you can order reasonably priced delicious appetizers!! the croquetas tasted so authentic YUMM! the décor is really very nice and cozy.. the service at the bar was good and once seated was ok.. the guy took our order and brought our food... it was nothing special and the 2 of us that ordered beef carpaccio.. got our food several minutes after everyone else received their cooked food.. its raw man it should have been pretty quick to plate you would think. but the food was really good all the way to the flan for desert! and good prices. My only issue was the service received from the hostess who I think could have handled us a bit better. they wouldn't take a reservation so over the phone they suggested to the birthday girl to come in an hour early and put her name on the "list" and wait at the bar for her group so that her entire party of 10 people wouldn't have to wait when they arrived. Well 3 of us came 1 hour early to do just this and waited with her. the hostess told us to let her know once half of our party had arrived- which they did, after 1 hour of course, so we let the hostess know she said "great, our current wait time is now at 1 hour" WHAT? you don't understand we've already waited an hour- surely we don't have to wait in line behind everyone else who is now waiting to be seated??? Oh yes that's what she meant... the phone call early must have been a figment of our imagination.. we argued a bit but she stuck to her 1 hour and the bday girl decided we would wait. about 15 mins later that sat us at the "owners" table as we were told. umm thank you? but we could have avoided anyone being annoyed and ready to pick another of the 5000 restaurants in miami (totally my vote at the moment) if she had taken a moment to see what could be done rather telling too bad so sad in not so many words. in the end because they did fix the situation, I might give this place another chance but I wont go out of my way.

    This place is located in a cursed location so I hope this one has some stay power...we shall see. The restaurant is really nice, very quirky, decor is great, very nice large bar area, split into two sections, I guess this kinda makes it a little more cozy? Food was very good, nice choices and prices are also very reasonable. My only complaint is the noise level; its very loud! Its very difficult to hold a conversation with even someone sitting across the table from you. We were there on a busy Friday night, maybe another night isn't as bad. All in all its a nice addition to the neighborhood and I will return.

    "Love is Blind and so is their chef!" First time at Love is Blind for dinner. We ordered the Baby spinach and quinoa salad and fire roasted artichokes as our appetizers (The salad was dry and cold didn't have much dressing and only had one strawberry and tasted like it came out of the fridge and not fresh at all. As far as the fire roasted artichokes it was drenched in oil and mostly Panko breadcrumbs with almost hardly any artichokes. For our entrées we ordered the skinny Lolita and the pizza margherita. The skinny Lolita was just playing okay nothing special it was a thin piece of chicken with parts that were a little charred from the grill any basic Julian vegetable ratatouille which I wouldn't even call ratatouille. As for the pizza margarita it tasted like a day old "college" pizza that was sitting in the fridge and "reheated" barley! Also the breadsticks were old and hard. The only reason we gave it 2 stars is because the ambience is very nice and they did a great job of decorating the place, if you're coming here just for drinks and just to enjoy the ambience it's fine but I wouldn't get too excited about the food at least on our trip. The customer service was nice as well but I'm an avid Yelper and I was a little distraught to see this place had a review of four stars and if it's all mostly about the food it doesn't deserve four stars.

    I live in miami so it took me a while to arrive but well worth it. If your looking for a new romantic spot to take someone please visit. The wine and food is amazing, we order pizA and wine plus a tiramisu which was amazing!!! The valet parking is not bad it might be a little tricky to arrive but well worth it. If you live in miami and want to try something different check it out. The staff was very helpful and hospitable.

    I love this place! The decor is so unique and intriguing. If you're into interior design, it'll definitely catch your attention. They seem to be very detail oriented, which I love. The service is awesome. Elizabeth, the hostess was a sweet heart and Jordan, our server was phenomenal. I highly recommend you ask for him whenever you go! He's honest, sweet and very personable. We were actually pretty upset that he was busy and couldn't serve us last time we went, but he still made the effort to came over to check on our table throughout our time there. The croquettes are delicious! Baby spinach salad is really good too. The hangover wrecker is good, nothing spectacular. The brunch calzone is great! The chicken and waffles were definitely better than most others I've tried. We LOVE the 99 cent mimosas, but then again... Who wouldn't? I always recommend this place to friends. I can't comment on lunch and dinner because I've never been there during those times, but I'm sure it's just as good!

    Missed my bday dinner even though we had reservations at 9:30 they were going to seat us at 11 with out guaranteeing us that we would sit close. I think timing is a factor. If you have 14 people waiting. You should not wait an hour and a half to say the stipulations. Very disappointed. We ended up at yard house seated right away.

    LOOOOOOOOOOVED this place!!!!! We have been fans of crazy about you for quite a while & couldnt be more excited when we got word that love is blind was opened blocks away from us! it has the typical Gables vibe, if youre a local you know what I mean. You're bound to bump into ppl from college/high school. Everyone the food, is fab, just like crazy about you, the 3menu prices, $14 house wine bottles. creative deserts. The place is soooooooo romantic! it has spanish flare. Our server was Randy and he was great...at the end of the night, i believe one of the managers approached our table and thanked us for visiting...such a NICE touch!!!! I will def be back!!!!!

    My wife and I had dinner here for my birthday. They have a simple concept: three different price points, each with appetizer included. The house wine by the glass is $3, and the wine bottles are $15. The food was very good and the portions were hearty. Good, solid restaurant concept without the annoying pretense.

  • Kenny G.

    My experience here was so bad that I felt compelled to create a yelp account just to explain how bad the service was. We were a group of 14 there for a birthday with a reservation at 930pm on Saturday 11/22/14. Our entire party arrived on time, our table was not ready so we found a couch outside to hang out while we waited to be sat. Long story short... With a 930pm reservation, it was now after 11 pm and we had not been seated or attended to outside even though they knew we were there. When we were finally approached after an hour and 45 minute wait we were informed that our table was ready but we would only be seated together if we ordered 4 appetizers before we would be allowed to sit, otherwise they would place us at random tables around the restaurant. When we all got upset and wanted to leave, the manager came out and offered us 5 free bottles of wine and appetizers. We were all so upset that we decided it would be a better night to walk across the street to yard house even after waiting almost 2 hours. We all felt disrrespected by the way we were treated and talked to. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. The only reason there is 1 star selected is because there is no option for none or negative stars.

    Dinner was just as good as my previous experience. The service was fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious. The zucchini pasta was so tasty I could have eaten another plate. My husband ordered the Kobe sliders which were cooked to perfection.. Great shoestring fries also. After two bottles of wine and delicious food, it set a great night out for our party of four.

    Just walked out and couldn't wait to write about this restaurant. My hubby and I go out to eat at least 2 times a week so when I read Jessica F review about it I was totally shocked. Ambiance- great! Vibrant and a romantic mood with a Miami chic twist The decor is astounding! It's layers upon layers of vintage with drapery and candles everywhere which adds to the romance of it all. Service was on point. We were pleasantly surprised about the attention provided to each patron and how our glass was never empty, and dirty plates weren't left on our table for even a minute. Prompt service and the staff was polite knowledgable and very accommodating. Food - was impressive! Portions are perfect. Has the caprese martini and the salmon a la sal and both were flawless but my husbands plate was seriously epic! Rock shrimp baked pasta. You have to try it!!! No room for dessert but Nutella pizza and flan looked great. Price- love love love the fact that for the entire me u there was only 3 prices $17 $21 or $25 and all entrees came with a choice of an appetizer. Been to many Miami spice restaurants and dined at many exclusive places, but few compare to the value you get for this price! $4 glass of wine really? And it was good! Not a clos du bois reserve but good none the less... Overall I recommend it and would give it more stars if I could... Maybe my husband just made it all that much better.... Hmmmm

    This restaurant is AMAZING! The decor alone is something to gaze at. The ambiance is chill, but very trendy. The drinks are delish; the food is superb! This is the perfect place to take someone on a date. The seating is intimate, with dim lights and love sayings imprinted on the ceilings. Appetizers come with all entrees. We went in a group and decided to share entrees. We had the croquettas, calamari, charcuterie, and huevos rotos. All were good. I will have to say that the croquettas are good however overrated. For my entree, I had the tuna tartar, which is small portioned but excellent! My boyfriend has the veal churassco which was AWESOME! Very good! The meat was juicy! My friend had the short rib pizza and her boyfriend had the braised steak brassato which was also very good. Overall, we had a very good experience here and I would definitely come back! Highly recommend this place for a date or for a birthday dinner!

    I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a couple of months. Once my boyfriend told me we will be having our Valentines Dinner here I was pretty excited. We had reservations, which was GREAT. The wait was ridiculously insane , thank fully we were there on time and were seated right away. The view of the restaurant is really nice, it has cool decorations. Since it was valentines it was pretty pack. I wasn't happy with the seating, the tables were right next to each other. I could hear the couple next to us entire conversation, our table was not comfortable at all. I asked the waitress if we can sit on another table which was not in use, we were told no we couldn't sit there because it was already taken. After 30 mins passes the table is still not taken, after an hour of having dinner, a couple sits on the table. I found it very unprofessional that the table was unoccupied for an hour and we were rejected from it. Over all the food was alright, but will not be interested in going to the restaurant again, DEFINITELY not on VALENTINE!

    New favorite Coral Gables restaurant!!! The same great and reasonably priced menu that we have come to expect from Crazy and Delores -- where else can you get a glass of Cab for $5.00? This menu starts with Pizza at $17.99 with the highest price point at $32.00 all of which includes killer appetizers like the famous serrano ham croquettes and (my favorite) fire rosted artichokes. My husband ordered the Chilean Sea Bass which was up there with the best we've had. The Skinny Lolita was delicious - chicken breast (slightly dry) pounded down to the size of a pita and topped with sautéed veggies. The Passion Restaurant Group has a very lucrative and wildly successful concept for dining that continues to Wow us here in Miami. Great friendly service and closer for those of us living in Pinecrest or the Gables.

    A Must-Try where I will definitely be returning! Love Is Blind is the best yet from the owners of Dolores and Crazy About You. The decor and ambience are cool and trendy while still being welcoming. The menu is the same concept as the other two big sister restaurants. Tiered Fixed price ($18, $21, $25) menus that includes an appetizer. The croquettes are on the menu too, but were beaten out in the race for best appetizer by the delicious oyster bisque. The calamari was also very good. Every single plate in my table of 9 was great! The Love is blind risotto leaves your taste buds longing for more! The pizza calabrese, the BBQ duck pizza and the kobe beef sliders were also extremely pleasing! And you must try the Nutella pizza for dessert!!!!! The service and attention were above par too. For the price, quality, service and ambiance, you can't beat it!

    Loved it!!!!! We were looking for a restaurant to have a little romantic dinner to celebrate our anniversary. After reading some reviews we decided to give Love is Blind a shot. It has amazing food and great service! The tuna tartare is one of the best I have tried. Everything was so delicious. The service was excellent! As soon as they found out we were celebrating our anniversary they gave us complementary wine and dessert with a happy anniversary message. We will defenitely go back soon!!!

    From the sayings painted along the recesses in the ceiling, the great decor and fun intimate lighting to the easy to understand menu and friendly staff, this place is definitely one I will return to! I love the menu concept- one price includes an appetizer and an entree of your choice with three different levels to choose from, ranging between twenty and thirty bucks. Their house wine was really good and the flan for dessert- not only delicious but an amazing price at three bucks! I had the zucchini noodles with the salmon, soooo yummy and perfect for those carb conscious or with gluten issues. Perfect for a fun and reasonably priced date night!

    I came on a Tuesday night, when I arrived it was pretty packed. We were waiting for the rest of our party to arrive for our reservations at 9. We sat at the bar, it was still happy hour and the bartender was very helpful and attentive recommending drinks for me and my friends. They sat our party of 20 down in the back room and attended to us right away. It was our waiters first night on the job, he was a little lost but very nice and attentive. As an appetizer I ordered the croquettes, and as my entree the Veal Churrasco. The croquettes were amazing and my meal was great. The portions are very big. Overall my experience was great, and the atmosphere was very nice.

    The place is absolutely beautiful. If I could live there, I would. There are candles everywhere, beautiful drapery, words on walls... Stunning. The food was just as good as their other two restaurants. I had the croquettes, of course- which are to die for! And my dinner was the steak with an egg on top. The steak was tender and flavorful and absolutely delicious. My waiter was a bit strange, but he was attentive. I can't wait to go back!

    Visiting on friday for their happy happy till 9. Great strong drinks and apps were delicious. We had the croquettes and the plate of meats and cheese. All good. Ended up staying for dinner. Food was excellent. Only beef was service. Slow bartenders. Took forever to get refills. At dinner took ten minutes for a hello and introduce himself. Place needs a strong manager to shape staff into shape. Otherwise excellent.

    This place really speaks for itself. The decor is interesting and unique, the food is creative and delicious, the bar is very large with a good drink list, service was first class, street parking is easy enough to find at night but valet is also available... just so many positive qualities about this place. Definitely a highly recommended place. The only thing I wasn't impressed with was our seating. It was one of those two-tops that makes it easier to talk to the neighboring table than it does your date. Not a great setup for a noisy space, but they've gotta pack people in there somehow. If I were to go back I'd definitely try for a table outside. Wait at the bar if you need to.

    I LOVE this place! The prices are reasonable and the food is tasty. I have been here about 4 times within the last 3 weeks and I live pretty far so it has to be good enough for me to drive the distance. The only reason why I don't give it a 5 star rating is because it is very noisy. If you want a romantic date then asked to be seated outside. Enjoy!

  • Rob L.

    Great atmosphere and decor. Great cocktails at the bar. Food was pretty great too, interesting menu. I would go again. I was turned off by the 10 dollar sharing charge, because one meal here comes with an appetizer and is perfect for sharing.

    I can't pinpoint anything specific, but somehow this restaurant never came together for me. The wine selection is mid sized, but no really good bottles. Food is similar. For some an eclectic menu might be attractive, but pairing is a little chaotic with the available choices...

    This review is long overdue. We went 6/29/13. I must start with the decor. It's beautiful!!! You first walk in and it's looks like a shrine. There are candles all through out but, the entrance is overload, now I use overload in a good way. Somewhat like kids use now in days the words sick, ridiculous...it's beautiful if I may say again. That immediately sets the tone to the experience. I had set up a dinner party for roughly 30 for my moms birthday. The only thing I would've loved is if they're was a private room but not enough to knock down a star because everything else surpassed my experience. The food was amazing!!! The croquettes so silky literally melt in your mouth (I don't use that to often). We also had the spinach salad and the cheese calzones. All very good but the croquettes are memorable. As an entree we had the salmon a la sal something like that and a veal shank with strawberry risotto. It was all divine and the service was amazing. The servers were there all the time anyone needed a refill or anything. We took a cake and they were kind enough to cut it and pass it out as well as remove $2/pp off the bill. Weird but nice! Oh, I totally almost forgot that the chefs came out say hi to us and to wish my mother a very happy birthday. It was awesome! Would do it again any day!

    This review is just shy of 5 stars across the board due to bad seating and an entree that missed the mark. I requested seating away from families with children and or groups but wound up sandwiched between two large groups. My seat was in a high traffic area for the servers who had to frequently pass behind and around me to get to their tableware storage area making it impossible to relax. My wife had the Caprese Martini appetizer paired with the Gnocchi Bolgenese Cassarole-she loved them both. I had the Asian Vegetable Spring Rolls with the Pizza Calabrese. The spring rolls were outstanding, among the best I have ever had. The pizza however was all sliced sausage and very little sauce or cheese. It was dry and bland, I left two slices uneaten something I have never done before with a pizza. Our server offered to change it for something else and without me even complaining about it, the Manager took it off my bill because she was told I didn't like it. Classy move! This kind of gesture has all but vanished in modern Miami area restaurants and has earned my customer loyalty. I can't count how many restaurants I have only tried once for one reason or another and never went back, but because I was treated like a VIP by our server and the manager; I will be back to try something else.

    We live by the gables and heard about this new restaurant. We have gone to Dolores several times and thought it would be just as good. Last week we went to this restaurant, gave the keys to the valet who waiting for us and entered. The atmosphere was quite lovely and the waiters were very attentive but we left pretty soon. The rice tasted like it was from the day before and the meat was cold. We payed and we left. We might come back only because of the man at the valet, who was quite charming and attentive.

    The food was quite good, and the decor and atmosphere was top notch. Unfortunately we had a poor experience with our waiter, he initially refused to serve my European friends alcohol without a passport. This is an absurd policy in an international city like Miami, a European ID should be accepted form of ID for something as trivial as a glass of wine. They tried to tell him it was fine and he said "excuse me let me finish telling you why we won't serve you". Very rude, the remainder of the dinner he proceeded to rush us through everything, acting very annoyed and not friendly at all. His presentation of the bill was him simply dropping the check on the table and walking away. The rude service was a dark cloud over what would have been an enjoyable dining experience, the food was a solid 3 stars for the price, service was a 1.

    In the endless search for somewhere to have brunch, you can definitely add this place as one of your options. In fact, you need to come here and try it out. Where to start? Ok, so the place looks elegant, very well decorated, and it just feels like a great place. Feels fancy, you know? So when you walk in you might feel like you're going to go bankrupt just for having an appetizer but relax! It's not that bad at all. For $18 you get an appetizer and an entree for brunch. The portions for brunch are huge! Just the appetizer alone gets you stuffed. I had the Prosciutto & Pesto Airbag (cuz I love prosciutto, i eat it like candy). My friends got the Croquetas and the Huevos Rotos (FYI...the croquetas are called "Maybe the best Serrano Ham Croquetas" and they're not that great...but the other stuff is!). Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The bonus here is that the mimosas are $4! Not bad considering a lot of places charge you anywhere from $25 to $35 for unlimited. Their sangria is awesome too. Sweet and refreshing! Service is great! Very attentive and helpful. Not a bad place to bring a large group of friends. They were able to seat us right away and in a pretty comfortable area. Definitely coming back here again and checking out the rest of the menu.

    DON'T come to this place! I have never received such poor service in my life. We went with a large group and from the moment we walked in to this empty establishment we were treated poorly. The food was undercooked and disappointing, the drinks tastes like watered down juice and the service was awful. Definitely never coming back. You will have a better time going to Yardhouse down the block.

    This is my second time visiting Love is Blind. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a modern/eclectic décor. The menu is unique in that the price includes the appetizer. The menu has different price categories depending on the entrée which you choose. We chose the churrasco and congri with a plantain mash. The steak was perfectly cooked and was tender and the sides were also delicious. As an appetizer we had the huevos estrallados which was amazing. The second appetizer we chose was the charcuterie which was nothing fancy, but was pretty good, but I would definitely order the croquetas which I had on my first visit. I ordered the ahi tuna and I was not a fan. They put too much cabbage and skimped on the tuna, but not to fear they more than made up with their mishap on the tuna. The dulce de leche flan was amazing. You can say I am a bit of a flan snob so I am very specific in what I feel makes a great flan and their dulce de leche flan is a winner. I will be back if just to try the velvety custard like flan once again.

    Well this is my first yelp review and I want it to be special. I came here to celebrate my high school graduation. I overall enjoyed the food and the place was so fabulous. My friend had the "I can't believe it's not pasta" which I took a bite from and it was very good. I chose the Kobe burgers because I always go with the "safe" food and I loved it. The fries I absolutely didn't like though. They were a bit stale or maybe even overcooked because they were difficult to chew on. Nothing too bad, it happens sometimes. In conclusion, I didn't give it the last star because the food didn't BLOW ME AWAY, it was..... Good. P.s. did I say how much I loved the decor. Haha.

    It's funny, as this was not a restaurant I wanted to go to. However, once there I recognized but this place has great, great potential. Prior to this restaurant it was once a sushi bar and since the structure is so large I think it made it very difficult for anyone to open any type of restaurant here. but, the folks at love is blind seem to put it together very very well. The service was very stellar and they were very polite. although I did feel very underdressed as the restaurant is decorated to a fine Spanish tradition. I was very happy to see that the menu actually catered to lighter fare. There are numerous items that were for the vegetarians and there was a large selection of salads. I ordered the zucchini spaghetti and I thought it was the best I ever had. It was locale low carb and yet filling. I also ordered the oyster bisque and I thought that would be hard to pull off as making any type of oyster soup is difficult. it was good, but it seemed more to taste like a leak and potato soup then oyster soup which I kind a light as oysters I don't think would make a real good bisque. Although a little pretentious, love is blind does have a big sister called Lolita, at Mary Brickel. so these people know what they're doing. I was very pleased with my lunch and their servers.

    I'm totally in love with the decor of this place...u will get major points if u take someone here on a date...just sayin' I wasn't on one but it was still a great atmosphere...the bar area/lounge was pretty packed for a thrusday night.. We tried the vegetables spring rolls and the zucchini linguini with salmon on vodka sauce...totally delish and very filling. The way they work the menu here is that the Entrees are divided into 4 which vary on prices..and each entree comes with an appetizer of your choice. Now, one thing that made this girl real happy..is that they carry moet chandon! By the glass!! Yay! So of course I treated myself to one $14 totally worth it . I saw a lot of birthdays being celebrated...and the place was packed by 9pm..reservations are highly suggested. Overall a great time, good food and nice ambiance.

To start off you are served foccaccia with olive oil, the attention to detail is endless, from the minute you walk in you know this is a special place, even if the food wasn't great but.... the food was amazing . Highly recommend it, we went back the same day for happy hour.

    I had my Birthday Brunch here on September 14th. I called to make a reservation, ahead of time for 10 people. When we arrived there were 8 of my guests present. We wanted to sit down and wait for the other two because they were going to drop in and join us later. I asked the hostess three times if we could please sit down and she kept telling me "no," even though our table was ready. I asked to speak to the manager and she was extremely pleasant. She allowed us to sit down with no problem and even tried to fix it by giving us a round of mimosas on the house. The food was excellent, I was very happy with the Trio Cheese Calzone as an appetizer and the Grilled Short Rib Benedict. They brought me an absolutely delicious coffee flan with a candle and I thought it was so cute!!! Our server was unfortunately in a bad mood and it showed. We asked her multiple times to please refill us on the mimosas and she would take 30 minutes to bring them out which I think is a bit excessive especially since our table was right next to the bar and I saw her lollygagging multiple times.. When the bill came, we all noticed that the server did not give us a "free" round of mimosas. We didn't say anything because since the bill was split between 6 people so it was only about $1 more per person since the mimosas are .99 cents. It wasn't worth our time to fix the bill, but it's still the principle of what happened. The only reason I gave them a three is for the rudeness from the hostess and for the charge of the not so "free" round of mimosas.

    Let me start by saying this is not my first time dining at love is blind but it has been the best experience thus far . Our waiter Cesar Pena ( I made sure to get his whole name , that's how impressed we were )provided " WOW" service he was so amazing he was friendly and very funny. He was very quick and showed great sense of customer urgency he came by our table quite a few times to check up on us . The drinks where out fast and the food was very good . I had the tuna tataki for appetizer which was incredible! For my main course I had the churrasco it was cooked to perfection . The fufu ( smashed sweet plantains) was so amazing ! And the Moro was to die for my dish was amazing all around ! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a nice intimate dining experience . And I will most definitely recommend Cesar as your waiter .

    Came here with a group for happy hour and had a blast. Half off all drinks except wine... Nothing to shake a stick at. Also, they do a more special where at 5pm glasses are $5, at 6 pm glasses are $6 ...etc. Great prices, they offer bar bites for cheap too! Try the croquettas- super yum! I'll be trying the mini calzones next time to satisfy my cheeseaholic status. Saw some brought out to other guests and they looked great. I'm pretty obsessed with the decor of the restaurant and the bartenders. Good location and inside it just looks like they paid great attention to detail- really inviting and warm. Love the whole aphrodisiac theme. The bartenders are adorable and extremely attentive. Ask for Cessie, she's a Mexican rapper with faboosh style and she's pretty awesome.

    A couple of birthdays ago I took my boyfriend to their sister restaurant, Crazy About You, and decided to try out Love Is Blind after seeing pictures of the beautiful decor and reading the wonderful reviews. In comparison to to Crazy About You, the food still receives 5 stats. It is the same menu and I noticed that the dishes was displayed be same at both restaurants. This isn't a bad thing at all-- the food is delicious and beautiful! The decor was lovely. However, we were originally sat in a crowded, noisy area. I think that's really where they lose a star. The tables are very close together (like a long bench with multiple tables along it) so it wasn't exactly intimate. I was close enough to the people next to us to take food from their plates. Eek! Thankfully, our server was kind enough to move us to a more secluded area. Another star is lost due to a miscommunication between the hostess and server. I had requested in my reservation to have a birthday dessert brought out at the end of our meal for my boyfriends birthday. I called to confirm my reservation and request a few hours before our dinner was to take place and the hostess told me she had already recieved the request via my initial reservation and we discussed what it would say and look like and everything. I was very disappointed when it didn't come out and our waiter just brought us the bill because I had no chance to remind him without it being obvious. That was a really important detail to me and I had made it clear multiple times, so there goes the 2nd star. Overall, a nice restaurant but that tables are way too close to each other. Sweet wait staff, but a tad bit forgetful. Didn't really get the "wow" experience I received at Crazy About You and left rather disappointed. I would not book this restaurant again.

    I absolutely love this place. The dinners are amazing. My fave was the chicken and waffle. The lunch menu is great and affordable for the quantity of food you get. On Friday nights they have a party and the dj is awesome. He plays old school, r&b, rock, latin, etc.... You won't stop dancing.

    We came for my best friends bday brunch. It wasn't our first choice but like usual everything in the vicinity had a 1-2 hour wait and we wee starving!!!! When we called to find out the wait time.. To our surprise, no one answered the phone. We decided to risk it and drive over without knowing. When we got there we were delayed to enter because the door was being used to deliver the food. they never really acknowledged us.. No one held the door for us.. We had to walk around the delivery employees and make our way through.. I felt like I was at dandy bear trying to make it to the jumping area lol. When we finally made it inside we understood why when we called no one answered.. There was no one there to answer the phone.. After like 5 minutes of waiting the young girl came from the back of the restaurant and helped us. We were seated in like 10 minutes not bad at all for the area average wait time. The food was good not great. I've had the same better in the area. The place is nice inside but it had an odd odor. Which was the topic of conversation for the entire time there. We weren't able to pin point where the odd smell was coming from.. Either the plants in the front desk or the delivery of food transactions that went on the entire time while we were there. I assume there is no back door but maybe they should consider doing the delivery really early in the morning.

    What a f'ing joke! A shot of fireball cost me 10 bucks and it was only half full! Vodka and redbull was 15 dollars for 6 ounces of mostly ice!!! Had to wait for quite some time to get a drink. Won't be going back here unless I bring my 5th of fireball which only costs 19 bucks at the liquor store. Highway robbery!!!

    I have been here before but tonight has been an amazing birthday experience. Our server Ceasar from Colombia was ABSOLUTELY amazing. We started to make conversation with him and were intrigued to find out just how truly amazing he was. I travel through the three restaurants, but he makes it a lot easier to come back here. Love is blind is lucky to have him. We will definitely be back to see you Ceasar. Thank you for an amazing start to my birthday night.

    I went to Love is blind for the first time and I LOVED IT! We made a reservation at 8:30pm and we arrived earlier than expected (7:50 pm) and they seated us immediately. The waiter was very knowledgable about the menu and explained to us where the dishes came from. The wine was amazing and it was only $5 for a glass or $15 for the bottle! The manager passed by our table to greet us and to make sure everything was going well. The food was amazing; I ordered the baked chicken with mashed potatoes & it was definitely mouthwatering. The restaurant is so high end and beautifully designed you'd expect to pay high prices but that's definitely not the case.

    This restaurant has a lot of potential. The ambience is nice the DJ was good and our server was polite. In fact I have been at this restaurant soon after they opened and had I written this review then it would've been a much higher rating. It seems that Hialeah found out about this restaurant and the patrons look like they stepped right off the banana boat into the dining room. That aside my appetizer of fried green tomatoes was delicious but my entrée was unremarkable.

    This restaurant can be described in one word: FUN! I visited with some friends on a rainy Friday night. I was happy they had valet parking available ($8). The restaurant decor is sexy and whimsical all at once. Oversized lighting fixtures and soft candles everywhere set the mood from the second I walked in. The restaurant is large and (from what I remember) divided into three distinct dining spaces. There is also a very active bar and wine room that sits about 14 guests. Our very friendly and cheerful waiter was on top of things. He came over to introduce himself immediately and begin taking our orders for the night. The menu is set at three different price ranges (dictated by your entree- $17.99, $ 21.99, $ 24.99). All three prices include an appetizer and dessert as well. The restaurant is by the same owners of "Dolores but you can call me Lolita" and "Crazy about you." I think this one is perhaps the biggest and strongest of the three. The food is not stellar but it IS good. At least, good enough to warrant a return visit. I don't think they take themselves very seriously. Despite the decor, it is still a very casual place. In typical Miami fashion, you will see most women and men dressed to the nines but also the usual people in caps, tees and flip flops. These are the courses we sampled: Strawberry Baby Spinach & Quinoa Salad- very fresh and perfectly seasoned. The quinoa is a nice plus. Trio Cheese Calzone- Loved loved loved this! I could have easily had 4 of them. It's the perfect amount of dough/cheese ratio. They use ricotta, mozzarella and goat cheese. The small salad and dressing it comes with is simple but also very good. Serrano Ham Croquettes- I have had these before at "Crazy about you" and they never disappoint. (Not better than Michy's croquetas though) Red Shrimp Pappardelle- This was creamy and obnoxiously decadent. (read: delicious) However, I was surprised they left the shrimp tail on. These are not salad shrimp that are softly placed atop. These are mixed with the heavy sauce of the pappardelle. It was very unpleasant to have to bite into that and I found out the hard way. BBQ Baby Back Ribs- Did not try these but our friend was very happy with it. Nutella Pizza- I found this to be too simple and blah. A 5 year old can make this. Then again, I don't care for Nutella. Had it been a dulce de leche pizza then we would be talking! Dulce de Leche Flan- Speaking of, this flan rocked! We actually had to leave in a hurry to make a movie and I kept going back to the table to take several more bites. This, coming from a flan snob. I am very picky about the flan consistency and this one was perfectly creamy and obviously doused in dulce de leche (inside and out). We brought our own wine and they charge a modest $16 corkage fee. They do have a wine list but nothing that I particularly love. This worked out better for us. Their water is served in recycled wine bottle glasses. We even wanted to buy some! Our waiter was fantastic all night. He did not skip a beat with my questions and requests. I admit, I can be a little intense at times but he broke me down with his sunny disposition! I made sure to tell management all about it too. As a side note: the bathrooms have dental flood and even mouthwash. Ha! They thought of everything! Overall, I had a wonderful time. I look forward to returning and trying other things from their menu.

    I took my girlfriend here for Valentine's day. I've never been here but co-workers recommended it to me. Oh man, not one regret! This place is awesome! Ambiance is really nice. Very lightly lit. The food is even better. Our food was presented very well. The churrasco was extremely satisfying. We had a cocktail called She is so Vain. I recommend it. Very unique taste (I don't drink too many cocktails, so this was bomb for me!). Please go here. Give it a shot. You won't be disappointed. And I can't forget our server. Steven, you were great. You helped make the experience even better. I'll definitely be back soon!

    Love at First Sight When you enter Love is Blind you are going to be dazzled by the sheer coolness and ingenuity of the restaurant. It boasts a funky motif that successfully intertwines ancient art with a trendy, funky and sexy vibe. In case you are tripping out (ref: Forgetting Sara Marshall Clip), there are smooth furry walls to pet, blowup octopus like chandeliers, head bust sculptures with papal crowns and mounted bull skulls proclaiming pearls of wisdom such as "All you need is love." It is one of the most fun, tricked out restaurant decors we have ever encountered. Love is Blind is the latest addition from the Passion Restaurant Group. They also own the very popular Crazy about You, as well as Dolores but you can call me Lolita. The owner Carlos, who opened up his first restaurant in Madrid at the ambitious age of 25, explained his "cheap is chic" concept. He believes patrons should be able to experience quality cuisine in a gorgeous setting with excellent service at very affordable prices. The menu couples one appetizer and one entree at a fixed price ranging from $18 to $33 depending on which main entree you choose. That's a sick deal for an app and a filet mignon!! We commenced with the Trio of Cheese Calzone with a banging, exotic lingonberry jam. The calzone was baked to a pretty golden sesame seed crust, adding a solid flavor and texture to the savory pastry. The Ricotta, Mozzarella & Goat Cheese blended together nicely without any one overpowering the other. The sweet jam brought out and complemented the cheesy flavors. If Italians took at stab at making a pastelito de guayaba y queso, this might be what they come up with. For an extra $2 surcharge, you can have the Imported Burrata Caprese Martini appetizer (their Cod Croquettes have the same surcharge) and it is well worth the upgrade. Akin to a delightful burrata pesto salad, it was served in a huge martini glass with lettuce, beautifully firm and ripe baby tomatoes as well as a refreshing pesto sauce. The burrata was soft gooey and fantastic. The pesto and tomatoes complemented the cheese quite splendidly. There was a slight hint of sweetness melded into the dish, as well. It was a fantastic and uncommon approach to burrata. Our first main was a Grilled Shrimp with Artichokes Open Papillote served with fresh rosemary, extra virgin olive oil and cherry tomatoes The ingredients were oven-grilled so the artichokes were really tender and fantastic when combined with the fresh rosemary. There was also nice amount of juicy flavorful shrimp included in the dish. Our second main was a nice cut of Grilled Veal Churrasco which we really enjoyed, but it was the sweet plantain mashed potatoes that had us purring at the table. It is soft, mushy mashed potatoes with just the right amount of sweet plantain added to make it addictive. The sweet plantain taste lingered and begged us to keep our mouths coated with its incredible flavor. It also came with grilled onions that worked so well with the veal. A bowl of Cuban Moro or Moros y Cristianos, which means Moors and Christians accompanied the dish. "Moors" refers to the black beans, and "Christians" to the rice. The name stems from early Cuban settlers reference to the Islamic Conquest of Spain which had a profound effect on the Spanish culture and language. The rice and beans are cooked together and we thought they infused ham into this version. It was flavorful and not pasty or mushed. Sometimes Moros can be very mushy and this version kept its nice rice consistency. For dessert we decided to forego the very tempting Tomorrow I'll start my Diet Nutella Pizza for the artistic and interactive Your Sweet American Dream. The dessert is comprised of a hot brownie, vanilla ice cream, whip cream, strawberries, chocolate syrup, cocoa and your unbridled creativity. The ingredients are presented and you must channel your inner (or outer artist) to decorate your plate. We applaud the uniqueness and ingenuity of this dessert and we had to participate. The warm brownie was deelish and it was fun to be encouraged to play with your food in a restaurant. We only wish we had M&M's to add some vibrant color to our Dessart. Love is Blind will definitely be making our shortlist for great date spots. It has reasonably priced tasty food and wine as well as a marvelous and romantic ambiance. They also have a laudable happy hour from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. every day with half price on all beer and liquor. On Thirsty Thursdays, it's happy hour all day and night! They also have a "Love around the Clock" special where it's beat the clock on Moët specials that range from $5-$10 depending on how early you arrive. We had a great time and will definitely be back to dine and wine again.

    After looking endlessly at different places to have my birthday brunch, I decided on Love Is Blind based on that I had had a drink there maybe a year before and it was beautifully decorated. I went online and made a reservation for 9 for last Sunday afternoon at 1pm. From here out, let me just tell you the good, the bad, and the ugly. The good: Love Is Blind is very stylishly decorated. The neighborhood is great, and I thought parking was going to be a problem but my whole party found spots just outside of the restaurant without a problem. You also can't knock the value of the brunch menu, one appetizer, one entree for $18, plus $4 sangrias and mimosas. Most of our appetizers were fantastic. The oyster soup was fantastic, the cheese calzone was to die for, and the egg, bacon, potato thing was great too. The bad: I think maybe our server was having a bad day. She didn't really greet us with a smile on her face, her manner seemed really scattered. We tried to engage her but she wasn't really having it. At one point someone at my table ordered another Bloody Mary and she brought two out. When we pointed out her mistake she sighed and just took the drink away. The appetizer spring rolls tasted like something I could get at Applebee's. When the entrees came everyone got there's except for my boyfriend who ordered the hangover sandwich. That entree came like 15 minutes later. Also, our entrees weren't that great. The hangover sandwich was poorly made and just tasted like a regular ham sandwich, the chicken and waffles were dry, my dad's steak and eggs had the steak basically raw (he asked for medium and it was definitely rare) and it took almost 30 minutes from the moment the server took his plate to have it fixed for it to come back out. In the same plate she took it back from, still covered in blood. And the potatoes were soft, mushy, and cold. The ugly: The process of being sat here took much longer than I thought it should. The restaurant was empty except for a baby shower at the back. 4 people from my party arrived at 12:45pm (reservation was for 1) and they wouldn't seat them. I kind of understand this. I arrived (with 3 others) at 1pm and they still wouldn't seat us until everyone was there. Finally at about 1:10 everyone from my party was at the restaurant and we still didn't get sat until 1:30. I had to ask two different times what the issue was and the hostess had the same response "uhh it'll be just a moment!", except it wasn't. It was frustrating because some of my party had been waiting for almost an hour to eat. We were all hungry! I could understand this if the place was packed but it wasn't. At all. And what's the point of making a reservation if it doesn't really matter to the restaurant anyway? Overall I like Love Is Blind, I think it's a cute date place and I wouldn't mind going again with a much smaller party (just me and someone else) but it wouldn't be for the food. Maybe just the appetizers.

    Ate here on a Friday night, Barbie was my waitress and she was spectacular! She went up and above at every turn. Do yourself the favor and get the croquettes and the house wine is alright, but just get a better glass it's worth the extra money. Definitely ask for Barbie though and make sure you tip her what she deserves!

    Went to love is blind for their Sunday brunch yesterday and it's safe to say the entire experience left me never wanting to visit again. I made a reservation for 10 & 2 high chairs a few days before for 1:00. When i got there all but two members of my party were there so I asked the hostess if we can be sat and that we would be 11 ppl. She told me to give her a minute and she'll set up the table. The restaurant was half empty with a baby shower happening in the back private room. The hostess walked back and forth for at least 20 minutes looking extremely flustered before approaching me and asking if I was "in charge". I replied yes and she then told me that since we were over 8 ppl we would have to choose 4 apps & 4 entrees for the entire table to share. I immediately told her no that's not an option because everyone wanted different things. She told me that was their policy for parties over 8. Which is funny because I should have been told that when I initially made the reservation, not 30 minutes after I have been standing there with two toddlers and ten people waiting to be seated. I asked for the manager and he repeated the same thing which I told him was not an option. How about you just seat is at two separate tables next to each other. Simple right?? Nope. After another 15 minutes of back and forth, they finally agreed to seat is but would stagger the service (take our orders ten minutes apart) so his servers didn't get overwhelmed. Apparently they are extremely understaffed if two servers can't handle 11 people. Does the restaurant only seat 4 people every hour?? It made no sense. Also the 99 cent mimosas are no longer all day. They are from 10-12. Had I know that I would have gone to Town or Rokbrgr instead. Needless to say it was downhill from there. We went twenty minutes with no water or bread. Ordered drinks that never came or had to order them twice. Our food came out 45 minutes after we sat down. And the cherry on top was I checked my credit card this morning to find they charged the incorrect amount on there. The management never apologized once and only cared about the kitchen being overwhelmed (with an empty restaurant) and not with the level of service provided to the guests. This is my last and final visit to live is blind. No matter how delicious the food is, service comes first and Brunch was a disaster!!

    I absolutely love the decor of this place. Everything is so cute and sparkling clean. We went in for lunch on a weekday and practically had the place to ourselves. Our server was absolutely excellent! He was friendly, informative & efficient. Everything that you want from a server. Especially on your first visit. The food was good. They have a nice lunch menu plus one lunch special daily for $10. Hubby had the special chicken cordon bleu with the oyster bisque to start. I had the short rib served with sweet plantain mash and the croquettes. The short rib was tender and tasty. The croquettes were good. You can tell that they are house made. The portions are small. This is perfect for me. Even then, I still left some for my husband. Probably because I wanted to save room for dessert. In this case, Nutella Pizza. Can't go wrong with Nutella, berries & bananas. All in all, we had a good lunch with excellent service and reasonable prices. I wouldn't hesitate in returning. Plus it looks like a great venue to host an event, like a bridal shower, birthday party, etc.

    You'll find pretty much the same standards as Dolores and Crazy about you, although I think Dolores is better. The food was pretty good, nothing spectacular that would make me run back. The croquetas were very good, as we're the fried artichokes. The salmon zucchini pasta thing left a bit to be desired. Went on a Monday night and it was absolutely empty. The positives? Beautiful decor, nice ambience, and very cost effective. If you want to try it, I'd get there fast because I don't suspect it'll last very long (everything on this corner doesn't seem to make it).

    So.. just got back from dinner at Love is Blind and even though I have not reviewed another restaurant in about a year, I had to log on to Yelp and let you guys know what I thought. Everything. was. delicious. I ordered the plate called, "I can't believe it's not pasta", which is a Zucchini pasta with salmon in a Grey Goose vodka sauce. It was to die for. As an appetizer, I had the ham croquettes which were also very, very good. The service was very fast and attentive. The atmosphere inside is cozy. We sat outside and even then, the seats are set-up in a way where you feel like you're in a little private corner reserved just for you. I really had a great experience and I recommend you go. It's a great place for a date.

    This place is adorable! I think it's perfect for a baby shower or wedding shower. My boyfriend and I went on a Sunday for brunch and it was yummy. They had a special going on for mimosas and sangria that made it hard to resist. Also, they had the option of one appetizer and one entree for only 17 bucks! The service was great and the good was good, not great, but the Serrano croquetas are definitely a go! Try em out!

    This place is super cute - beautiful decor and warm, romantic ambiance. I would say it makes for a magical first date. I also recommend the happy hour. I went there with my girl friend; we sat at the bar during happy hour and had as many drinks as we could before 9 p.m. (which, may I add, is an awesome happy hour cut-off. I hate when happy "hour" ends at freaking 6 p.m. I can't even get a decent buzz in just an hour.) The cocktails maybe weren't the best I've had (says the at-home mixologist,) but they were nice and strong. However we balanced with water and dinner to not get sh*tfaced. It's not that kind of place. And, we're classy broads. Oh, the food is pretty good also.

    Came for lunch at 11:45 decided to give this place another try after an unpleasant previous experience. Not only were we the only two customers in the restaurants it took well over 15 min to bring a glass of wine to the table. The lunch menu is u clear and the service is awful. Needless to say, last visit here.

    I would usually join my girlfriends for happy hour here. They have this amazing deal where the champagne is $5 at 5pm $6 at 6pm and so on. The croquettes are amazing! The staff is friendly and accommodating. I do believe they also have appetizer specials. Overall great time, food and drinks.

    First, I'd like to say that I have visited both of the other sister restaurants, Dolores Don't Call... And Crazy About You. Honestly, I wasn't crazy about either. I think the food at both places was average and nothing worth going back for. So what made me want to try this location? The atmosphere and location were a big draw-in. Here are my thoughts: Service: My husband and I were very pleased. We had a waiter and waiter-in-training, who consistently checked on us. The manager stopped by twice as well. Very pleased. 5 stars on service last night. 4 Stars Food: They have the same concept as other 2 locations: 3 price options ($21, $25 and $31 I believe), and you pick an entree and appetizer under each. We had the Spinach/Quinoa salad (average, but a healthy choice) Oyster Bisque (really good, but may be too salty for some), Seabass (well prepared, but cream sauce unnecessary) and Sea Salted Salmon (very well prepared, but the tomato salsa on the side was way too pungent and garlicky for the dish). Brownie dessert was awesome! 3 Stars Atmosphere: we went in the evening, so it was dim. But we loved the decor and may come back to check out the bar next time. 4 Stars Overall, we liked it and may try it again on a weekday date night. More of a romantic but not too fancy atmosphere, in our opinion.

    I was extremely impressed with this restaurant. Our group wanted to go somewhere new and wanted a diverse menu, so we came to Love is Blind. We made our reservations online with Open Table for four people at 9:45PM on Saturday night. Making reservations was easy, and let's face it, in Miami anywhere you go you have to wait at least an hour so I loved that they took reservations. Our friends got to Love is Blind at about 9:30 and they checked in with the hostess. The table wasn't ready so they went to the bar to get some drinks. My husband and I got there at 9:40 and the table wasn't ready (which was fine by us), so we went to the bar to join our friends for drinks. We ordered a couple of rounds of champagne - which by the way has an awesome happy "hours" special on Moet Chandon Imperial. Prices below: 5PM - $5 6PM - $6 7PM - $7 8 PM - $8 9PM - $9 10PM - $10 At the bar they gave us some popcorn to munch on while we were sipping on our drinks, which was a nice touch. At 10PM the hostess apologized to us that our table wasn't ready and bought us a round of drinks. My group was in shock with the great and generous service by the hostess since it was only 15 minutes past our reservation. The hostess, really exceeded our expectations!! The bartender was very sweet and attentive. At about 10PM we sat down for dinner. I started off with the Ham croquettes which were heavenly!! They were so good, I wish there was a bakery that I can order them from on a daily basis!! I have had a lot of croquettes in my life and these are BY FAR, THE BEST!! My husband ate the Trio of Cheese Calzone and liked it. I was able to steal a piece from him and it was also VERY good!! (although I prefer my croquettes). For dinner I had the Braised Steak Brasatto. The steak and egg were perfectly cooked (egg was not runny) and the combination of garbanzo and mushroom marsala was like something I had never eaten! Others in my group got the Tuna Tartar and the Filet Mignon and they couldn't stop talking about how good it was. For desert, we shared a Nutella pizza which was good, but nothing out of this world. I would have preferred more Nutella , strawberries and banana, and although I have had better, it was very tasty. Overall, a surprisingly WONDERFUL experience and great ambiance!! Tips: Make reservations, do not valet since there are many metered spots located in and around the block, GET THE HAM CROQUETTES and if you have every been to Lolita or Crazy About You, the menu is very similar, but I find that Love is Blind has better service and food.
