Rendezvous On the Beach

[ June, 2013 ]
I’m not one to dish out one-​star reviews, but this place hardly deserves even that. The service was awful, and we had a snotty server who was more interested in anything else other than doing her job. The food was mediocre, at best, and even the shrimp cocktail appetizer contained rubbery shrimp. We also waited for about 25 minutes to get the check.
The one upside? A big, frozen drink that we could share. Second one is free, but you’ll never want to stay long enough to get to it.
Skip this place.

My friends and I (four people) stopped by for drinks on our trip to South beach and the waitress convience us the drink is 2 for 1 (drinks is 22 per drink). So we sit down and ordered 2 margaritas and shared, but when the bill came we are charged for 44 dollars + 7.5% gratitude fee. It was riduculous becuase the waitress told us it is two for one. When we asked her, she insisted becaz we have four people so there is no discount. We told them at least you should told us in advance, but they didnt seem to care at all. Anyways, this is a terrible place to go and I would not receommed to anyone goes to Miami.

we were STARVING!!!
so in we go… the food was ok. not too much to brag about. i had a chicken sandwich and fries. the fries were really good the sandwich was a bit dry.
the service was, non existent. no too much to say but it was only $ 8.50, so who’s to complain…

The food wasn’t the best, but the atmosphere was fun and lively since we were sitting outside by the sidewalk and there was a live band playing music.
It’s the perfect spot to people watch as people walk on up and down Ocean Blvd, and the view of the beach right across the street as you’re enjoying your meal after work or on your vacation. It gets really loud towards night time, but that’s the fun part of being in South Beach.
I have had the Crispy Calamari Salad, Coconut Crusted Shrimps served on top of watercress with mango-​papaya coulis and the Rendezvous Seafood Risotto with lobster, calamari, mahi-​mahi, served with a saffron arborio creamy rice. I was impress with the Crispy Calamari Salad, but the other two dishes I have had are so-​so.
The prices can be on the high-​end, but you’re paying for the atmosphere.

Good food but nothing memorable, SLOW service, and interesting spot for people watching.
Much like any other restaurant along the Ocean Drive, you get a great view of the people walking along the street. Although we got a table on the sidewalk and that was a little too close for me.
The service was extremely slow, took us more than 2.5 hours to finish a meal. The restaurant was packed but I’m assuming that’s the usual for them so not quite a valid reason.
Much like any other restaurant along Ocean Drive, the prices are overly inflated. There was a slight mediteranean feel to the way the restaurants were all lined up with the seafood displays and the Maitre’d getting your attention to eat at their restaurant. Fun and lively atmosphere.
