Best Restaurants for Business Meals in The Hammocks

Absolutely loved Makoto. It was our first time since they moved their location up to Level 3 of the Bal Harbour Shops. Super lovely, energetic, and the interior was gorgeous. We started off with the crispy brussels sprouts, which were so delicious that we put in another order. The truffle salmon was one of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten — it melted in my mouth and they did not skimp on the truffle. The dynamite hand rolls were out of this world, warm and flavorful. The spicy tuna crispy rice had the perfect crunch. Side note: if you like sweet cocktails, get the usagi — the passionfruit notes shined through in this dessert of a drink. The chilled house sake we got was also divine. The rolls were fresh — we ordered the caterpillar roll, the spicy yellowtail roll, rainbow roll, and snow crab maki. My favorites were the snow crab maki and the rainbow roll. We ordered miso seabass and wagyu fried rice for the mains — the miso seabass melted in my mouth, and I loved the mix of citrus and sweet flavors that came through in this dish. When we got to the wagyu fried rice, I was already stuffed, but it was delicious with the egg mixed in. We finished the meal off with the toban yaki, one of the most unique desserts I’ve ever had. It was a cross between a crumble and a sorbet dessert — the flavors were incredible. The service was amazing and we loved our server Helena. 10/10 experience at Makoto and can’t wait to come back!

Unparalleled views! Wasn’t expecting the food to be good, but it was fantastic. The only negative is that they charge a $9 fee for parking. Wish we had known-we saw many people walking from the marina parking lot as we were leaving.

Food was amazing. Our server was very nice but we did not receive the same amount of attention as other tables of similar size sitting next to us. He forgot our drinks several times. In his defence it was busy but a 6 top table just next to us had a different experience then we had.

love cecconis!!! always good, we did get charged for one dessert we didn’t order, but other than that, it was perfect!

I had expectations before I arrived but when I arrived and all through my time there, I had the best service and it exceeded my expectations! Love the atmosphere and hospitality. The food was amazing and cocktails was top of the line.
