This was my second time to Stubborn Seed and it was as wonderful as the first time. The staff went above and beyond to make my experience so special, including making me a sweet paper crane and letting me order some items to go. This is the kind of hospitality that makes lifelong memories. Jackie, Tokyo, and the rest of the team were absolutely fantastic.

This was our favorite dinner when we visited Miami (don’t worry, we had Cuban sandwiches at lunch). The location was great. We were able to sit outside on the patio by the water. It was a quick walk from our hotel in Brickell. Our waitress was fantastic. She was attentive and offered menu suggestions. The cocktails were great. I had a seasonal cocktail, and I appreciated that they offered seasonal themed drinks. I had the partridge in a pear tree, and it was so good that I had to have two. I ate the salmon dish, and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. It was Monday night when they offer bourbon and burgers, which was what my husband decided to get. He said that the burger was one of the juiciest he’s ever had. We highly recommend this spot for a great casual dinner with a scenic view.
