We visited Le Jardinier yesterday for the Miami Spice lunch. As expected, the food was fantastic, featuring fresh flavors and stunning presentation from starters to dessert!
Consistency and attention to detail always make for a great experience. A special shout-out to our server, José, whose warm, attentive, and professional service truly elevated our afternoon.
Hats off to José and the entire team for another outstanding meal!
Mr. Edgardo R. Marrero
We did the three-course à la carte and left already wanting to come back.
The Food:
The main was absolutely delicious, but the dessert was the real highlight — genuinely creative, the kind of plate that shows the kitchen having fun rather than playing it safe. My only regret is timing: we ate late, and one dish I'd been looking forward to had already sold out by the time we sat down.
The Service:
Service matched the food. Staff came around often and were attentive without hovering — the kind of easy, accommodating hospitality that makes you settle in and stay a while.
The Atmosphere:
The design leans into a light, greenhouse feel — marble, Art Deco fixtures, and that pop of lime green — poppy and high-end in exactly the way you'd hope for. It's polished without feeling stiff.
I had cocktails at Le Jardinier prior to dinner upstairs, Luís Mario was an excellent bartender! I ordered the Chicha de Vie, the Michelin recognized drink (I didn’t even know that was a thing) and then a Naked and Famous with a special Chartreux! The small bites looked good here but I knew I was going to be filled upstairs. Great space and patio seating!
What a lovely experience! Amazing service, atmosphere and lovely flavours. Sat at the bar and received excellent care from the bartender, José. The warm bread and butter was a lovely way to start with beautiful flavours for each piece. The burrata starter was divine. Fresh and high quality ingredients combined with impeccable plating to create delicious edible art. Risotto with a side of Brussel sprouts was a filling and moreish main with seasonal flavours. The highlight was the yuzu mousse dessert “the butterfly” and the delicious Colombian coffee to accompany the dessert. The live music was absolutely beautiful throughout the meal as well. An unexpected treat. What a wonderful experience. 100% will return!
Absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was incredible, you can genuinely tell how much attention is given to every detail. They even import their flour from France, and the bread honestly tastes just like real French bread. The butter was amazing, and every single dish we tried was outstanding. You can order from the menu with your eyes closed and trust that it’s going to be delicious.
But what truly made our lunch unforgettable was Nick or Nico! His service was absolutely exceptional. Attentive, warm, funny, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about making sure we had the best possible experience. The food was amazing on its own, but Nick is what turned a great lunch into a memorable one. He really made the entire experience.
Nico, sei stato eccezionale! 🇮🇹
Νίκο, ήσουν καταπληκτικός! 🇬🇷

We’ll absolutely be back, and we’ll definitely be asking for Nick again. 10/10 for the food, 100/10 for Nico. ❤️
