Eddy "EZ" D.'s Profile

Walked in without an appointment and without hesitation was sitting in a chair giving directions to what I wanted my hair to look like.  I would recommend making an appointment but walk ins are welcomed.  

In a very small area of Downtown Miami, nearby MDC Wolfson, there seems to be a bit of urban monetizing with a boutique sneaker store on the corner and a true feeling Brooklyn Barber shop bringing a new hip hop flavor that Miami really needs. Next Level knows how to cut hair and entertain their patrons.  

At $16 they deliver a great cut and enough chit chat to keep you cracking up and attempting to comprehend life throughout your visit.  The spot seems a bit limited to services as I did not see a sink in the house, but then again this is an authentic urban barber shop, and shampoo is not hood.  The over all look is nice with each barber having their own charming teak looking station it felt like a place you would not mind hanging out at to talk the talk with some real folk that are in the hair cutting business and not the sugar coating biz.  

I certainly see myself returning here and recommending it over over Downtown barber shops I have previously reviewed.

Great location, an unbeatable beer selection, but this place needs to work on their game plan because service is their Achilles heel. I had a chance to watch this place open and flood with people. One thing I really enjoyed about this bar is how it took you out of Miami, while being in the heart of the city, for a second I felt like i was in the big apple with the size and lighting.

With their wide selection of beers there's a wide range of prices, $2 PBR and $11 Young's Double Chocolate. They are going to have to do something about people management because as the night progressed patrons were forced to drink outside on the street.

Bottom line if you want a specific beer they will have it, no beers on tap, fight to get your order in... pray they get it to you. Make sure to try the $4 Toña from Nicaragua.

Yelp never ceases to amaze, never lets you down, and always figures out a way to make your jaw drop.  The Mandarin Oriental was the best host to hold the many groups of entertainers and restaurants.  The food and drink were flawless & endless just the way I like it.  The sand and lights and people gave me a sensory overload, what a great night to really put you in a cheerful holiday mood.  

I can not wait to see what is next for Yelp, if Maria some how manages to top this... I honestly will not be surprised, she's amazing.

In an area full of snobbery eateries this modest Irish Pub has it's own touch of class mixed with a bit of crass. The interior is wonderfully decorated with large televisions and Gothic tones to hide away from the heat and sunshine outside. The service team is always cheery with their traditional kilts on and happy to help you in anyway. Overall the establishment looks well rounded and ready to make a name for itself.
I split a set of 10 buffalo wings & a steak salad with a friend, and if it wasn't for the 35 minute wait for our food I would have enjoyed it a lot more. The wait was a definite issue causing us to have to rush through our lunch to get back to work on time. It's never good when we ask for our check before the food arrives. But since they tag you with 18% gratuity off the bat it doesn't matter when you get the check the service is getting the same amount.  
The food was fantastic the wings had you begging for more and the salad had a nice mix of greens and potatoes.  I feel like the next time i ask if anyone wants to go there it's going to be a tug of war because their food is good but their kitchen is so slow...

I tried this new location out because a friend was raving about the Coral Gables location. It's where a Long John Silvers used to be planted in the middle of the BJ's parking lot. The decor inside was decent enough to stay in and eat there, yet this place is very green with their service having only been open a couple weeks.

I had a simple pizza with their house sausage on top with some garlic cheese bread. The pizza was nice, their small is a little too small for two but a little much for one. The manner that they chop it up give you an illusion that there's more but it's a small pizza. The order of garlic cheese bread was kind of small only coming with 2 pieces, so for a family to order a side of garlic bread they would have to go with more then a single order which is inconvenient.

Quality was standard I would like to try this place again in about 3-4 weeks see if they get into a groove, and also offer delivery soon.

With a place this like I can't understand how fast food restaurants still survive.  Their burgers are fresh and topped with premium toppings and accompanied by top quality Cajun fries.  I always go for the small burgers because the only difference i can tell is the price.  

When it comes to toppings you can go nuts adding as many as you like, this place must have a big budget for toppings.  Another small trick for your next visit is as for your fries 1/2 & 1/2 you will get double the fries.

While waiting for your perfect little burgers to be cooked you can munch down on complimentary peanuts and enjoy the creative customer napkin art on the wall.  This place is great for take out and to sit and eat, get out there as soon as you can.

Yelp is a purpetual machine of awesomeness.  There is no limit to the greatness which is our Maria.  With what I have to say about the locale is bias since it's my favorite restaurant chain ever.  
The wine selection was vast and the gentlemen serving it was a long time conissour of grapes, the food floating around with the servers like the sausage on garlic bread and spanish omelets were good, but when the steak started to roll out that's where the money was at.
It was a shame that we couldn't hang around on the inside because it looked real nice.  At least we got coupons for complimentary glasses of wine on our next visit.

There can never be too many Indian restaurants, I went on a Friday night with a fairly large party and was immediately seated upstairs. The decor was nice and the restaurant was busy, one problem that is hard to over look is when you are under staffed. This leads to a lot of problems, the amount of time to put our in was long, half of our orders were not even written down, and the time it took to get out was delayed as well.

I ordered the mahi mahi tandoori, which was like getting mugged in Murray Hill. $22 for 4 small pieces of fish when an order of rice is an additional cost is not acceptable. Even with all these issues the Restaurant tried to make amends with complementary appetizers & dessert. Yet to my vantage point it seemed like a cop out for their lack of staff and service.

Indian food is hard to turn away but a place like Nirvana is easily replaceable.

"Welcome to Great Location, Home of the Goodburger, can I take your order?"  Wow this was hitting the bulls eye, if your standard is good..& you do it well you are to be commended.  I ate a cheeseburger cooked medium, which you shouldn't do because it's good meat, it's not bad but it does not have the quality to show through.  I also ordered a side of onion rings, when it came to my drink order i asked for ice tea, and asked for sweetened tea.  They don't have sweetened tea but offered to 1/2 lemonade 1/2 iced tea, but I was impressed by the attention to detail.  Most attendants at fast food locations are drones answering yes or no to most of your questions.  This was an example of good service.

The burger was good the onion rings were good, the table we sat at was good, my arnold palmer was good...  If you have a nice grip on being good...  you are not doing anything great.  WITH ONE EXCEPTION, your location.

If your going to do a strict macaroni & cheese joint it better be serious mac n' chez.  First you choose the 'nosh' size skillet, because the 'major munch', is a monster.  

At S'Mac your mac n' chez is served to you in a skillet out of the oven.  Next, go with one of the menu options for style, I chose the buffalo chicken just because I thought it was the least traditional one with very traditional pieces.  It had Cheddar & American chez, boneless chicken + buffalo sauce.  My brother had the Alpine, that comes with gruyere + a slab of bacon.  IMPORTANT!!  Get bread crumbs baked on top, I don't understand how you could turn down bread crumbs on mac n' chez.

Take your number & wait, there was a sign outside saying, "Now Serving Beer & Wine."  Their options are really nice, with what I ordered a local Maine white beer.  It takes about 5-7 minutes to bake and the hot skillets arrive to your table.  Now time to dig in.

The cheese blend on mine really cooled down the heat from the buffalo sauce it was well balanced with a bit of pepper to boot.  I really enjoyed the taste, the visions of the mac drowning in oil will always be in my memories.  But it was mostly because if the chicken in my option because my brother's skillet wasn't as greasy.  

All around this is a spot for mac 'n chez enthusiest to join and feast on the boundaries of insane and test thier skills making thier own signature skillets mixed with...hot dog, tuna, broccoli, shiitake mushrooms, figs, and a wide variety of chez...american, blue, brie, cheddar, mozzarella, goat, gruyere, manchego, muenster, parmesan, pecorino, pepper jack & swiss.  

Not a place if you're in a hurry.  Enjoy.
