If you want to sit outdoors in the yard make sure you make reservations. The food was great and the restaurant very clean. It had a very pleasant and good vibe. Staff are polite and know about the menu and can give recommendations. We got what they recommended and were happy with our food.
The house bread with their olive oil was heavenly!
Also there’s only 2 gender neutral restrooms inside so there were lineups at a time.

Niche restaurant with a nice energy. Greek and Turkish samplers were terrific. I loved the hummus and olives. The bread and pita paired nicely. The lamb was really good. It was cooked well with plenty of flavor. The chicken kabob was juicy with a smoky flavor(really good). I loved the rice. The beef was a little dry, but the grilled vegetables were delicious. Service was lacking, though.

Lovely Greek restaurant! Went with a large group of friends and ordered to share which was perfect. We were able to try a bunch of appetizers - we loved the baked feta and Greek Meze sampler. For entrees, we got the mussels and the whole fish which is a must! Service was a bit slow but very friendly, seems like they were understaffed. Ambience is chilled, great for groups and families. Prices are on the higher end. Would definitely recommend!

We had a delightful night at Mandolin Aegean Bistro. The Greek sampler was a highlight, with the mussels standing out for their incredibly delicious broth. The sea bass as the main dish was a second-to-none experience. Fully recommended for a memorable dining experience.

This place is must for Miami, make a reservation before hand! The whole restaurant is outside which in July was a bit hot, but manageable. The food was outstanding! We had some of the specials and they were so flavorful and tasty. Quality food that fills you up without making you feel gross. It's all so fresh! Can't wait to come back next time I am in Miami.

Brussels sprouts salad is out of this world it was the special!
The Monty dumplings my friend had and absolutely loved.
Outdoor seating is beautiful. They have fans and misters to keep you cool.
Ybsen as friendly and patient.
Def worth stopping by if in design.

Small place with good food and nice vibe. No wonder there’s always a crowd waiting to get in. Definitely Worth the wait! Didn’t get to try the mains as there are plenty of Mezzes and small bites and were all good

We came to try Gyros, whatever we tried did not look like Gyros in Greece, but it was delicious. It was something like ground beef inside pita, was well seasoned and french fries was the best I’ve tried. We also ate kebabs, it was average. Place itself was really nice. Our waiter was helpful, even though we were waiting for bill 20 minutes and finally we went to find somebody to check us out, it was fine, he got busy and that’s understandable. I don’t know if I would come back but it was definitely better Greek restaurant then the others in Miami

A hidden gem in Miami. At Mandolin, I can say with confidence you are paying for an excellent culinary experience. With incredibly kind and knowledgeable staff who accommodate your every need/request and quality food, you can’t go wrong at Mandolin. The beautiful restaurant is the cherry on top for an inevitably great night. Always check out the specials! French fries and veggies are very well done (I always look at how the “non star” food items are done) and the lamb is fantastic. Will be returning :)

Mandolin Miami delivers a gastronomic journey through Mediterranean cuisine that should not be missed. Upon arriving, the atmosphere sets the tone, especially if you can snag an outdoor table—the indoor setting simply doesn't match the vibe the restaurant aims to convey.
Our culinary adventure began with the village salad. While it was fresh and decently prepared, it was somewhat unremarkable—a staple that did the job but didn't wow us. But things took a delightful turn with the trio mezze, a generous platter featuring hummus, tzatziki, and a feta dip. Each component was well-crafted, but the tzatziki stole the show with its creamy texture and balanced flavors.
For our main courses, we selected the stuffed eggplant and the manti dumplings. The eggplant was solid—well-cooked and seasoned, satisfying but not necessarily a showstopper. However, the manti dumplings were nothing short of spectacular. The combination of flavors and textures made each bite an experience in itself. It's an absolute must-try dish that we can't recommend enough.
Service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. But remember, try to sit outside to fully appreciate the ambiance that Mandolin Miami has worked so hard to create.
In summary, Mandolin Miami mostly hits the mark with its mix of traditional and contemporary Mediterranean dishes, delivering especially with their mezze and manti dumplings. While some offerings like the village salad may be more on the ordinary side, the standout dishes more than compensate, making this a restaurant well worth visiting.

By far one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had! As a Turkish-American couple, it was nice to feel like we were transported back to the Aegean coast for the evening. The food is just phenomenal. The best köfte we’ve had stateside. You can tell the service staff really works as a team - they’re constantly checking in, clearing plates, refilling water, etc. We were a bit nervous about dining outside in late July, but they have multiple fans around that make it feel breezy and comfortable. We will definitely be dreaming of coming back to Miami soon just to dine here.

I used to go to Mandolin a lot, two years ago but it became so hard to get a table on the weekends that I decides to stay away for a while. Yesterday, I had some friends visiting Miami and since they wanted a place with great food that we could sit outside, I found out that Mandolin would be the best solution. The place it's so cozy. The decorations takes you to a beach house in Greece with a great outside patio, white chairs and candles on the table. We got there at 9:30pm and we were able to make last minute reservation using Google website. The place was full and we had a great table on the center of the patio. The service was also amazing. We asked for some suggestions on wine and food. We ordered a couple dishes and everything was sharable style. We started with the GREEK SAMPLER ($24), the CHEESE SAGANAKI ($18) and the GRILLED OCTOPUS ($30) that was very tender and juicy. We wanted to try more dishes and the waiter recommended the MANTI DUMPLINGS ($30) and the BEEF SOUVLAKI ($38). We ordered also a few baskets of house bread and PITA BREAD that was just amazing with the dishes we had. That place is a must go and it's good for any occasion. During daytime or night, you will always enjoy the food and environment.

Great spot if you’re vegetarian. Nice vibe and great date spot. I loved the hummus, zucchini chips and beet salad. I was very disappointed with the $18/glass sangria. The rose water was a lovely addition that I really liked, but the drink itself tasted watered down and the white wine was no where to be found. I would come back here!

Mandolin is one of my favorite places to eat at because it's outdoor seating, amazing staff and delicious food. It's also located walking distance from the Design District. I highly recommend ordering the Catch of the Day along with the Honey Pie

Simply beautiful!!!!
We did a lunch event in their Secret Garden and what a beautiful space!!
We chose from one of their event menus, the food was delicious, the ingredientes were so fresh and the portions were big.
The staff was attentive, friendly and approachable.
I also love the fact that the restaurant has fresh beautiful flowers everywhere!
The only one thing was the washrooms, they are beautiful but there are only two available for the whole place, you could do a little shopping while waiting 😊
Overall an amazing experience, everyone in the group loved the place and the food.

The food was delicious, and the ambience created a pleasant dining experience. While the service was satisfactory, it could have been improved. However, I must agree that the pricing seemed a bit high for the portion sizes and overall experience.
