We experienced the six-course tasting menu with wine pairing at Stubborn Seed Miami Beach, and every single dish was outstanding. The flavors were thoughtful, balanced, and beautifully executed, with the wine pairings elevating each course perfectly. What truly stood out was the team’s precision—service flowed seamlessly, timing was impeccable, and everyone worked in complete sync. An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Everything was absolutely delicious. We came for Smash Burger Night and were greeted by Steven, who took great care of us from the start. The managers stopped by our table to check in, and Freddy, Ricky, and Luis were also incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night.

My favorite dishes were the egg dip and the Facundo cocktail with the passion-fruit mousse on top — truly amazing. And the desserts were on another level.

Loved the whole experience. I’d definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Fabulous dinner from start to finish, withe raviolo being spectacular! Service was exemplary, & we were thrilled with the speed of it (tasting menus are usually a Doom March, but our 6 course was served in just over an hour). Excellent wines too! The noise level was a bit high, but added to the vibe.
Highly recommend!

I’ve been to Stubborn Seed twice now, and both times it’s been a wonderful experience. This time we did the 9 course tasting menu with the wine pairing. Each plate is meticulously crafted and looks as amazing as it tastes. The menu changes with the seasons and uses ingredients from the chef’s personal farm. My favorite course was a play on peanut butter and jelly that involved foie gras (for that smooth peanut butter texture), a peanut miso crumble, and tomato yuzu jam (the “jelly”) served with perfectly toasted bread slices to spread it on.
With the wine pairing, you are served seven different drinks that pair beautifully with their respective courses and also give a great variety from sparkling white to light and then bold red to a Moscato with dessert and even a sake (this was my personal favorite of the night).
The service is super friendly and attentive and explains each course in detail. I highly recommend this for a fancy night out and we will be back anytime we are in Miami!

Stubborn Seed exceeded all expectations during my Miami visit. The service here is truly impeccable – among the best I’ve experienced at any Michelin-starred restaurant in the USA.
I opted for the 3-course amuse menu ($85 + tax), and appreciated that unlike many Miami restaurants, they don’t automatically add a 20% service charge.

The meal began with a delightful soft roll and beautifully shaped butter.
The food was excellent overall, though the Seared Berkshire Porkchop (2nd course) had prominent cinnamon that wasn’t mentioned on the menu. When I mentioned this, the staff was incredibly responsive – he later apologized and surprised me with a complimentary caviar course. This level of attentiveness was outstanding.

As a birthday celebration, they went above and beyond with a gorgeous dessert presentation including “Happy Birthday” carved on the plate with a candle. The desserts were delicious and beautifully plated.

Despite being “only” one Michelin star, this is hands-down the best Michelin experience I’ve had. The combination of exceptional service, excellent food, and reasonable pricing makes it a must-visit.

I’ll definitely return on my next Miami trip!

Stubborn Seed offers a truly elevated dining experience — the six-course tasting menu was creative, beautifully plated, and showcased thoughtful techniques in every dish. The flavors were bold yet balanced, and you can tell each course was crafted with intention.

Service overall was friendly and professional, and we were especially impressed by the staff’s knowledge and attention to detail. They described each course with ease, naming every component and ingredient, which really enhanced the experience and helped us appreciate the complexity behind each dish.

The pacing of the food itself was on the slower side, but it allowed time to fully enjoy the wine pairings and presentation. The atmosphere is sleek and modern — just a little colder than expected, so bringing a light sweater isn’t a bad idea.

There was a noticeable fragrance in the dining room — likely from candles or diffusers — that was pleasant but a bit strong and overpowering the food at times.

Overall, the night felt special. Thank you to the team for helping us celebrate both my birthday and our anniversary!

Amazing experience! Went there on a Monday night to celebrate a special milestone. Ricky was extremely attentive and kind. His enthusiasm for the food came through with service. As far as food and cocktails, the tasting menu is top notch. You start out thinking it won’t be enough food at the end, but the pacing and portions are spot on. By the time dessert come, you have just enough room for it. Definitely well priced for what it is, a great experience and special occasion dinner.

Gabby was out main server and she was exceptional both with service and knowledge. We had the 6 course fish menu and it was exceptional. The rock oyster was off the scale and the fois gras peanut and jelly sandwich I will never forget. Would totally recommend.
