Reviews
In the past, the brunch buffet felt more elevated and generous. This time, the variety was very limited, and the overall food offering felt like a step down in quality and selection. The fixed price of $55 is fair, but for that cost, we would have preferred either a broader buffet or more à la carte options to choose from. As it stands, the menu felt lacking for what should be a standout brunch experience.
That said, the ambience is absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere is serene and elegant—you truly feel at peace. The day was perfect, and the indoor patio setting is stunning, easily the highlight of the visit. From an environment and setting standpoint, Fontana still delivers.
Overall, it was a nice experience driven by the setting rather than the food. The ambiance carries the visit, but the brunch offerings need improvement. Also, the hostesses take their sweet time and attitude to break eye contact or even welcome guests. For that reason, we’re giving it 3 out of 5 stars.
From start to finish, everything was exceptional. I began with the soup of the day, a silky and flavorful carrot soup that set the tone perfectly. For the second course, we enjoyed the Crab Fregola — a beautiful dish with lump crabmeat, basil pesto, lemon gremolata, and toasted pine nuts. It was fresh, balanced, and absolutely delicious. To finish, I had the lemon panna cotta with seasonal berries, which was the perfect light and refreshing dessert – while she decided to go for the tasty gelato.
The restaurant itself is stunning — elegant and timeless, it truly feels like dining in Europe. The fountain in the courtyard creates such a serene and picturesque atmosphere, making the whole experience even more special. Service was attentive, warm, and flawless throughout our meal.
I’ve heard their Sunday Brunch is out of this world, and after such a wonderful lunch, I can’t wait to come back and try it.
Highly recommend La Fontana for anyone looking for an elegant dining experience in Miami.
The Biltmore itself is undeniably beautiful, and the setting is what initially drew us in. Unfortunately, the dining experience did not live up to the elegance of the surroundings.
Service was very slow, despite the restaurant not being fully seated. We had breakfast reservations, but the wait to be seated was so long that we were given the lunch menu instead, which was not what we had planned for.
The menu felt limited, and several items were unavailable. They had run out of syrup for the pancakes, and some of the fruit selections were also depleted. We also had to remind our server about missing items from our order, which further disrupted the experience.
A mandatory 20% gratuity is included. While I understand the intent, I personally feel this can remove the incentive for exceptional service—and in this case, the level of attentiveness reflected that.
Overall, while the hotel itself is beautiful, the food and service fell short. I left disappointed and do not feel compelled to return for dining.
When the food finally came out, it was cold and dry, which made the long wait even more frustrating. For a restaurant in such a well-known hotel, we expected much better service and quality. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.
