It’s understandable why it’s difficult to sometimes get a reservation at this restaurant! EVERYTHING was exquisite. The food was in a class of its own. The combination of flavors paired with their presentations are unprecedented. The staff were friendly and warm. It is very apparent that Entre Nos chefs know how to communicate their passion for food and their love for cooking. They know how to make really good food! Simple as that. Can’t wait to go back!

We had a lovely table right by the water. The hostess offered us blankets which was a nice touch as it was a cooler night. All of the food was delicious and the portions were fairly generous.

Amazing service that was fast. Our server gave great recommendations. We ate at the one in Orlando and had a great experience, so we came to the Miami location for brunch. We had the heavenly hash x2 with regular potatoes instead of sweet and shrimp + grits. We were recommend the watermelon juice, lemon ginger tea, and the brunch punch. Everything was well seasoned and complemented each other well.
