Atmosphere was nice, food was good for what it was but a very limited menu, especially for GF folks. Service was really bad across the board but especially at the bar and our server. Server was rude, way too abrupt and hard to track down. Brought out half our food and then nothing for 45 minutes. We asked for the check and he said he had more food coming. We said no thanks. Would not recommend this place but it was packed so obviously they do a good business.

Very disappointing service. Grabby waiter more interested in taking ur napkin off table and clearing dishes. Food delivery poorly coordinated. Gang bang service at its worse. Manager extremely dismissive when we complained to him.
4. Casa Mia Trattoria
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 152 reviews
Casa Mia Trattoria opened its doors in September 2005. We merged traditional Italian food with favorite American flavors and Casa Mia Trattoria was born. Our restaurant is a place where people can feel at home from the moment they enter the door, and where hospitality, food and service are our top priorities.

A busy restaurant with what looks like a good balance of regulars. Returning customers are always a useful indicator of a good restaurant. We had a very pleasant meal, service was good, attentive but not intrusive. Portions good size at mid range prices.

We were sat quickly. The server took our order right away. A runner brought our drinks and some bread while we waited for our meals which took no time at all. The server was very professional and prompt. The only problem though small was it took us a while to get our bill.

The food was pretty good for bar food. The manager Nikki was great as were our servers Lincoln, Thomas and Christopher. Our only issue was drink costs. We were there two days in a row and bought the same drinks. We were never charged the same amount. All drinks were the same thing!

We have eaten at several Palm restaurants all over and it is always an enjoyable experience. We had the caesars salad, sea bass, and crab cakes. It was delicious and the service was good.

So I went here for lunch with my husband and daughter while on vacation. We only had sandwiches. My husband had a Cuban sandwich and I had chicken. I can say it was on authentic Cuban pressed bread and was delish. I would have liked to try more entrees but never got around to it.
We did notice the other patrons meals and it all looked good. I'm looking forward to going back and trying a few more items. Other than that the service was great and food came out in a timely manner.

Enjoy classic American dishes, wines, and cocktails in a palm tree studded view above the entrance to the Bal Harbour Shops.
Reviewed By Glen L - Miami Lakes, Florida
First of all, kudos to our server Danielle. A great server makes ALL the difference in the world. The Grill is an excellent casual dining location with lots of glass and greenery. Although other reviewers have commented on the price, I thinks its a great value, because you will have leftovers that you will want to take home and enjoy the next afternoon. The manager/expeditor was present, but not intrusive, and really showed his skills as a facilitator when needed. Now for the food... Ribs - fall off the bone perfection. French dip - Excellent flavors in every bite. Caesar Salad - Pair this with your fav wine and some of their delish bread for a home run. Now for the cocktails - Lemon Drop - omg. Rusty Nail - A light take on a dark classic. We will be back, definitely.

We vacationed at a nearby hotel and walked to find a place to eat outside. One adult and (3) hungry kids. Very Accomodating. Provided 1/2 portion for the kids and made a few changes to the dish for our picky eater. Delicious! Grab dessert before you leave!!
