    Kiki on the River is a breathtaking dining destination that truly captures the essence of Miami’s glamorous waterfront lifestyle. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the immaculate views of the Miami River, with luxurious yachts docking right beside our table. The scene was straight out of a postcard, and the serene yet vibrant atmosphere made our evening feel extra special. We started our meal with lychee martinis, which were perfectly balanced—sweet, refreshing, and strong. For dinner, we indulged in the lamb chops, which were tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The creamy mashed potatoes were rich and buttery without being overwhelming. The Caesar salad was fresh and crisp, with just the right amount of dressing, and the mushroom risotto was a standout. The combination of the stunning views, the impeccable service, and the exceptional food made for an unforgettable experience. Watching the yachts glide by as we enjoyed our meal added a touch of magic to the evening. Kiki on the River is the perfect spot for anyone looking to enjoy a luxurious yet relaxed dining experience in Miami. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this place is a must-visit. We can’t wait to return! 12/10!
