   I really had a fantastic experience on my visit. I was looking to get away from the nolse of South Beach, have a good meal, and a great glass of wine. Check, check, and check. I started with the house salad, which was a big serving with the absolute perfect amount of a delightful dressing. Not too much, not too little. Goldilocks would have been very happy. I then had an exquisite branzino that was prepared beautifully. Cooked all the way through but very moist. Absolutely delicious. The only thing that kept it from being a 5 was a bland pear crumble for desert. Not bad, but not great, either. The staff couldn't have been any better. Attentive without being intrusive. Friendly without being cloying. This meal was the culinary highlight of a 3-night stay in South Beach.

   Nice place but $28 martinis, whew. And while their menus have “pizzas and pastas” there is only one on menu and one off menu option.

   Drexel is one of Miami Beach’s best restaurants. It’s our favorite places to entertain friends and family.

   This restaurant is one of my favorites in Miami. It’s on a great street for people watching but still a quiet vibe at the restaurant. The food is amazing and the service is great!

   Overpriced and lacks sides. Portions are big, but without a side you barely want to finish the dishes. $49 for Lamb Chops with minimal sides. $30 for sizable chicken dish, but no side (maybe potatoes you should add) was exhausting to finish. It was too much of the same thing.

   Unfortunately the start of our visit to The Drexel was below expectations. It was a Saturday night but any restaurant should know how to be able to seat people with reservations in good time. There were so many people waiting for 30-45 minutes or more for their reserved table that the outside of the restaurant was chaotic. We got shown inside near the very noisy bar 35 mins after our reserved time. Once seated the service picked up and the food was excellent.In fact the pizza was as good as any I have ever eaten. It was just unfortunate about the wait time. We know Miami Beach and this is just not good enough. We got one free top up of sparkling wine as a comp, but I always prefer to pay for good service and food. For the food and service (once we got seated), we'd try again next time we are here.

    OK, let me start up by saying the food at the restaurant was solid… Unfortunately, everyone’s reservations were running at least 30 minutes behind… In fact, I had bumped into a very large party and they have been waiting for over 50 minutes and then decided to leave the restaurant. I felt the wait staff were in the weeds all night. As a quick, our server was lovely. My daughter ordered the flat iron chicken entrée, which was good, but it came with no sides, which was really strange. We ordered a side of brussels sprouts which came in at $21 - which is absolutely insane. Probably would’ve given this four stars, but given the long wait times for for everything, and the brussels sprouts that required me to take out a second mortgage. I only gave three stars .
