Best Casual Restaurants in Aventura

I loved my experience at STK. My boyfriend and I had so much fun here. The New York prime steak was amazing as well as the salmon. We had so much fun. The DJ was really cool and we will definitely be back very soon.

Always love it here and never had any issues-however this last time the quality was not as good and I actually had to send my salad back as there was a piece of plastic left behind before serving it….it was disappointing…

We had amazing food and service, duck is a must try

noise level was increasing loud as the restaurant began to fill. Our waitperson was very good, Danilla (?) we were greeted with a smile, a warm welcome and offer to assist us with our dinner choices. Very pleasant and certainly an asset to the restaurant.

The food and service was fantastic. We had the calamari, pasta with shrimp and my friend had the salmon. Everything was absolutely delicious. Our server was attentive, even though the restaurant was very full. We were seated outside in the back so he wasn't able to get to us as quickly as the other people inside the restaurant. But overall he tried his best and we appreciated the effort. The design, the decor, seating booths and vibe inside of the whole place was extremely pretty. And if you want some cool pictures, the lighting in the hallway by where the bathrooms are at, make for some fun IG posts. :) We came by on New Year's Day with a reservation. When I spoke to the hostess asking how long the wait would be, she said approximately 5 minutes. When other parties were coming over, they were getting assisted before us and since I was standing so close to the host stand, I heard that they were just walking up with no reservation. They were larger groups, and I'm not sure if they had preferential treatment for them due to higher revenue since it was only 2 of us. Then after waiting 15-20 minutes, I mentioned to her again that I did have a reservation, wondering why she was letting other people ahead of us. So with a bit of an attitude, she then got us seated immediately outside in a secluded part of the back patio while the others that were coming in were getting seated inside of the restaurant with no reservations. I didn't say anything about the seating because I didn't want to ruffle any feathers. Definitely not a great experience from the hostess, but servers and the food were excellent.
