Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Fisher Island

We were welcomed to the restaurant by the hostesses warm smile. We had some last minute adds to our reservation and the hostess was very accommodating. The waitress was really attentive and provided helpful recommendations. The waitress did interrupt our conversation once which is always annoying but this seems to be common at every restaurant here. From then on she and the other staff of Byblos were extremely attentive to our needs. The food was absolutely amazing. This has been my favorite meal of miami thus far. I have been to byblos once before but this time was even better. For appetizers we had spanish octopus, duck kibbeh, and the wontons. I didn’t try the wontons but was told they were the best. I loved the Duck and the octopus and couldn’t choose a favorite. For main courses we had bronzino, NY strip steak, lamb chops, with sides of black truffle rice and carrots. I loved each one of these and couldn’t choose a favorite. Everything was served hot, cooked to perfection, and very flavorful, not to mention perfectly spiced and salted. For dessert we had baklava cheese cake. I really wanted a warm piece or two of baklava so I picked this as the next best thing. It was also delicious but I recommend they consider adding baklava to the menu. I am lactose intolerant and I noticed most of the desserts had dairy.

Excellent restaurant, great atmosphere great service. Great food!! Excellent location!!

We had dinner with our teenage kids. The meals were absolutely delicious! We ordered seafood risotto, steak, veal, pasta pesto and chicken entrees. They also had good wine choices. Very nice ambience, good service. I was a bit surprised that the place wasn’t as packed as some restaurants above the 5th Street given the atmosphere and the quality of food.

Fantastic experience with unique flavors not found in other high end restaurants. We did the full 18 course meal with wine pairing and the food and service with Pedro was all outstanding and very memorable. Highly recommend!

Hard to believe that we paid a lot and I still can say “we got value for our money”. The service was knowledgeable and friendly. Realizing that we had 3 children in our 3 generation party of 6 and that children at times “cannot wait” service made sure that bread and then appetizers arrived rapidly. The food as usual was outstanding from start to finish. When the staff realized that it was my birthday they added to our desert collection a birthday cake plus candle. On top of the great food we all experienced life music plus performance of talented dancers. An unforgettable night.
