Such tasty and authentic Mediterranean food! We enjoyed the Brussels sprouts with halloumi cheese, Turkish dumplings filled with eggplant and topped with molasses, charred chicken with garlic aioli on a bed of lentils and two fantastic desserts that included a stuffed baklava with mint ice cream and dark chocolate and pistachio nougat, and the other dessert was a hazelnut mousse with toasted coconut. The restaurant offers a social, vibrant atmosphere and the interior looked straight out of Greece with clean backdrops of white walls combined with natural color tones and blue accents, textiles and beautiful linen furniture/seating! The staff was so friendly and wonderful at explaining dishes, answering questions and accommodating any requests! 10/10 dining experience and we will for sure be returning!

Very noisy, very dark ambience, couldn't see even the menu clearly. Wait staff judged us heavily, just because we had come from the beach. Food was very pricey, and for 179 dollars I didn't even fill my stomach! Overall one of the worst food experiences, advising everyone to avoid!

Servers were attentive but clearly overwhelmed with a thursday rush. Food tasted great but lacking a little in the high end presentation compared to Byblos Toronto. Love Dj was great. The restaurant was so cold that our served dishes went cold within 4 minutes on our table - something to be mindful of. Seating and set up of the restaurant could have been more comfortable and a little more high end when considering this level of dining. Overall - we ate like gluttons.

It is always a pleasure to dine at Byblos. Very creative and delicious dinners with excellent service. We ate outside and really enjoyed the lovely night. We had the tasting menu and I can't believe how much food we were served for the five course -- each course had two, very large components and there is no way we could finish the dishes....but they were so good it was difficult to leave anything (they'll pack up extras if you want). I really think it is worth visiting whether you are a local or a visitor in for a few days. Really a treat.

Loved BYBLOS! They have been on my list for years and while all the dining rooms were full on a Sunday night, I found our restaurant experience to be intimate. It was just perfect for a friends' dinner where we can hear each other! This place is classy, while understated, and I could sort of feel like I was dining in a room of a museum. The setting is sumptuous (ask for the upstairs dining room!) as is the food. We kept it vegetarian and were super impressed, sharing 2 apps, a 'pide' roasted bread -don't miss the truffle one!- a rice dish, and 2 vegetable sides amongst three people and were totally satisfied. Food was cooked SUPERBLY. Our waiter, Jacques, was perfect and he made our night special. This one's going into the rotation folks...I will be back very soon!

My boyfriend and I visited Byblos while vacationing in Miami. Overall, the food was fine but not worth the price. We had the dumplings and crispy artichoke for appetizer. The artichoke was not what I was expecting at all it was just little pieces and was mostly a yogurt sauce. They could have at least given some bread or something but it was basically like eating yogurt. The dumplings were good. For dinner we had the Brussel sprout salad which was good and the roasted chicken which was good but nothing special. It came with some lentils and fried leeks. The hazelnut chocolate dessert was a bit disappointing and not worth the calories. The Marakeesh garden cocktails were very good and our waitress was very nice. Overall, we probably would not go back because the food was nothing special and very expensive.

This was our favorite meal in Miami so far. Everything was fantastic. We are vegetarian and had some thoughts about what to order. Our server, Franklin, who used to be a chef at the restaurant, helped refine our choices to combine the most wonderful and complementary flavors. Our two favorites were the spinach and feta pide and the Turkish Manti Dumplings. But really, everything we ate was to die for. The atmosphere (we dined upstairs) was very classy. Service was wonderful. We highly recommend.
