My husband and I were in Miami for a short stay and went here for a special night out one of the nights. I was blown away - the food was absolutely amazing, the service was completely over the top, and the decor was so beautiful and made it seem like you were really someplace special. The dishes were were... More

We ate here for our 50th Birthdays and had the tasting menu. The chef decided each course and each was simply lovely! The atmosphere was beyond words due to the mansion being so beautiful. What made it an exceptional experience was the wonderful service each and every person provided. The manager, Barack visited our table and after hearing it was... More

The food was very good! I had the lobster main tail and was very pleased with it. The truffle bread was Amazing. I did think the the side sauce with the lobster was a little too salty for my taste. We were able to look around and it was stunning.

We went for a birthday dinner at the Villa. The bill, over 600 US for two, was a bit over the top. 4 glasses of champagne alone cost over 200 US. Try to be seated not in the indoor "Mr. Versace's dining room" as it is kind of claustrophobic but ask for a table outside in the garden or on... More

Firstly inside the place is amazing and the service itself was very good. The food was exceptional. We are farely unsophisticated people I suppose and the intro drinks were offered to us with no price, I felt embarrased to ask & was told it was $90 a glass, fair enough, it was a special night, why not, so we had...

An incredibly awe inspiring experience. Comparable to our happy hour in the Burj Al Arab - didn't have the sweet drinks trolley, though.

I had an amazing experience at the Versace mansion, mostly because I loved the space so much I wanted to move in. From the instant, the gated door made you feel special. The inviting entrance, and lovely fountains were so beautiful, and the blue hue of the pool room made my evening. The dining room was a bit odd, seemed... More

The dishes were quite tasty--the chef also brought out a complimentary dish to begin with. If you're into trying new things, go for the date cake with Roquefort gelato as it was an interesting dessert. The Villa is gorgeous!! After making reservations, my friends and I hoped to be seated inside the famous Villa but ended up at an outdoor... More

Food can be unique. Bring some bucks. Popular establishment for the want-to-be-seen (kind of incognito).

Elegant place, seeing the pool, house, etc was my main goal. Accommodating service, decent food, but over all not an extraordinary dinning experience. Spent about $280 for dinner and wine and the experience of the interiors.
