Il Gabbiano 335 South Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL 33131

"Overall good experience. Pasta dish was very good, and the visibility to Biscayne is absolutely beautiful!"

"The food in this place is absolutely AMAzing. My recommendation : lobster ravioli, mushroom ravioli and the Afferato toscano, fruti di Bosco for desert. The server was really friendly and accommodating"

"For a place like this identifying as "fine dining," i was expecting more elegance. We had a reservation for 13, and the table only had room for 11 of us. We had to add another table, and it was still a tight fit. The dining room was nice with a view of the ocean. However, the servers that helped around the table for our party didn't really establish themselves well when replacing silverware and refilling our drinks and such. They would reach over without saying "excuse me" or "pardon" while they would clean up after our appetizers. I had one of the specials, the ossobuco with a parm risotto. The risotto was very salty, in my opinion, or it could have also been that it was just too heavy on the parm. The ossobuco, on the other hand, was lacking a bit of flavor. I know dealing with big parties isn't easy, so I'd like to think a dinner for two would be smoother. In the end, we ordered dessert, which was great. The server had to split the checks and couldn't keep track of who had what, and some of us just ended up having to zelle other people just to make it easier on the server. I wouldn't mind giving this place another chance, but just because you're on the waterfront and have a nice atmosphere/ decor, it shouldn't be classified as fine dining. It should be about the service, upscale food, surpassing guest expectations, and going above and beyond to indulge your diners."
