Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Downtown Miami

Very special place for a special night out. The mansion is gorgeous, with beautiful details everywhere. The pool room is amazing! Service was perfect and food was delicious. The appetizer of fried calamari, zucchini and shrimp was large and delicious. The scallop entree was wonderful. Perfect place for a celebration!

Doya – A Must-Try for Greek & Turkish-Inspired Meze Recently dined at Doya, a fantastic spot that blends Greek and Turkish flavors with a menu designed for sharing. The restaurant specializes in both cold and hot meze, making it perfect for a communal dining experience. For cold meze, I highly recommend the traditional fava bean spread, eggplant (babaganoush), green goddess dip (similar to tzatziki), and shrimp carpaccio—all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Among the hot meze, we tried the rib steak over the wood-fired grill, which, while cooked well, needed a bit more seasoning. However, the grilled Dorado fish was outstanding—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We rarely order dessert, but the chocolate mousse with cherries was a standout and an absolute must-try. Service at Doya is team-oriented, delightful, and impressively quick. The food comes out fast, making for a seamless dining experience without feeling rushed. Overall, Doya delivers a wonderful dining experience, with a well-executed menu, great service, and a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore high-quality Mediterranean flavors in a shareable format.

Had the absolute pleasure of dining at Casa Neos, and let me tell you, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone—warm, welcoming, and effortlessly stylish and AMAZING food. The vibes were absolutely immaculate! A huge shoutout to the manager, Keith, who went above and beyond to make our visit even more special. His service was exceptional—genuine, attentive, and full of personality. It really felt like he was dedicated to ensuring every detail of our dining experience was perfect.

The food and drinks were truly incredible, and the energy in the restaurant was amazing. We sat outside and there were dancers throughout the night which was a really cool entertainment experience. My one annoyance was the overall service level. I don’t know if they were understaffed, or over busy, but it was just very slow. Definitely don’t want to be rushed - but we waited a longggg time to do anything, and then had a drink not show up until we asked for it 3 times. So, that was a small damper. Overall, this place was amazing. Definitely recommend it and would love to come back.

Fantastic menu... several interesting and new items to try.. ambience casual chic and staff was fantastic. Wish we lived closer as we would come here frequently.
