Doma exceeded my expectations in every way. The decor is elegant in an understated way. You could feel comfortable dressing in casual wear or more for a night out. The service is top notch - more like a proper restaurant, not what’s typical for Miami these days. The food really impressed. Every dish we had was excellent. The zucchini blossoms, mozzarella and prosciutto and eggplant special were all fresh, tasty and well executed. We loved the black truffle pasta, the lobster pasta and lamb chops. Not sure why they are described as lamb “confit” but they were delish. The back patio is lovely and would be perfect for a private dinner party. Overall, we loved it and will be back!
