Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Design District

First time here and I am already making plans to come back! Service was quick, professional, and friendly. Made my overall experience amazing. Very knowledgeable and attentive staff (Shout out Freddy). One recommendation is to visit the restaurant early as popular items run out (understandable). But what was avaialbe was made to perfection.

The hostess at the front was not friendly, didn’t acknowledge us really and kept talking to other people while we were checking in. She may need more training. She seemed confused. The waitress, runners. DJ and food were amazing. Value for food was great. We didn’t get a receipt and the bill is hefty with the service charge. No one could explain what the surcharge is for.

We loved Red Rooster. First, several members of our party were obnoxiously late. The staff kind and flexible and seated us anyway. Our server Carlos was friendly and knowledgeable. All of the food we ordered was excellent. We had several starters and all entrees were large enough to be shared. Highlights were the deviled eggs, ceviche, oxtail, salmon and fried chicken. The lamb belly was different but delectably spicy. We would go back. Very affordable at about $60pp including gratuity.

I came to Miami for a day trip and this was such a quaint boutique hotel with the prettiest deck for lunch. Peaceful, serene and the food was great. The service workers were incredibly accommodating and sweet. Worth checking out for a stay or to grab a bite and enjoy the views and amenities.

I had the most delightful breakfast experience at Craft Midtown. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for the morning. I ordered a perfectly brewed coffee and Eggs Florentine, which were simply outstanding—rich, flavorful, and beautifully plated. What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service provided by Santi, our server. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure everything was perfect. His recommendations and attention to detail made all the difference. Craft Midtown is now at the top of my list for breakfast spots. I can’t wait to come back and enjoy another memorable meal with Santi’s impeccable service! Highly recommended.
