Queen Miami Beach

This place is very beautiful and the food was amazing. Our server, Gustavo, was so friendly and truly made the night so enjoyable for us. We had been in town for about 2 weeks around Art Basel time and many of the servers we experienced at other restaurants were not the friendliest. Gustavo at Queen was really amazing - super friendly and genuine!! deserts are amazing here. My only comment is that when we arrived for dinner, we went to the bar first to get some drinks and my ID was initially denied (even though I'm in my late twenties). I provided my driver's license government issued ID from Canada. The bar tender said they only accept passports and not my driver's license because that is the "law". I don't travel with my passport around Miami when planning to go out at night and I'm surprised to hear people do that? I've travelled to many places in the US and my drivers license is always acceptable. I had other IDs with me that would corroborate the validity of my driver's license (health card, credit card, pic of my passport, etc) but they still refused. I think if this establishment has their own rule of only accepting passports as international ID, they should write that in the very long and detailed email they send for reservation confirmation (which details how you should dress) so guests can come prepared. They ended up serving me after the bartender got the GM involved but it was a frustrating start to the night. At an expensive restaurant like this, you would want a drink or bottle of wine to accompany dinner.

This place just incredible. Service was amazing and the food was spectacular. We took chef special, so we didn’t know what we will get. But truly that was the best choice. Every dish we’ve got was unreal. Highly recommending you to try sea urchin with caviar on top. I love everything in this place, except bill 😂 for two people. For 2 people with bottle of sake, bill was $1100

Queen is the revival of South Beach Primarily, negative reviews often revolve around the doorman. It's crucial to adhere to the DRESS CODE; he's simply carrying out his responsibilities and he is also french❤️😜 We also faced issues when we didn't follow the dress code but it keeps the place upscale. Maybe the reservation department can emphasize on the DC policy. @queen_caribbean _beach loved this place It is hard to match service, ambiance and food in Miami. There's no comparison to this amazing DJ, and I'm a devoted fan of #KikiOnTheRiver every Sundays. We want to know his name to follow wow.

Overall, my experience was very good, with the exception of the hostess in the front, their snobby attitude, and judgemental up and down looks were completely unnecessary. We went on a Thursday night on a whim as my groups other plans had gotten rained out. So while we weren't dressed to impress, we looked fine. But, these "women" in the front made my girlfriend feel less than for absolutely no reason (it was like a seen from mean girls).
