What an absolute delight this restaurant is! The food is fresh and innovative without being fussy or pretentious. The flavours are strong, distinctive but never overpowering. The waiter was knowledgeable, friendly yet not familiar or overbearing. Micah, the South African chef, is the star. She's very unassuming and quietly passionate about her craft and what she conjures every day in... More

I love this restaurant because Micah is a consistently fabulous chef! Went with two girlfriends and ordered many small dishes, had a lovely time, always do! Relax about the neighborhood, plenty of parking right in front of the restaurant. It's an area of downtown that is not populated at night, so it looks scary, but actually it is just devoid... More

The neighborhood is not very appealing at nightime. As a matter of fact, I hesitated to step out of the cab. The place is small, with an unconventional decor. When we sat, the fun started with Jeremiah taking care of us. The guy speaks as a machine gun, giving lots of details of what’s abut to come at every minute.... More

Neighborhood..not so good. Food! Unreal! Just unreal! We took the kids and they didn't eat anything to speak of (that's proof it's good) we had a gator app, steak stack, salmon, and super wine! A must...minus the kids! Note they were very kind to them and tried to make them feel at home too!

We were visiting from out of town and chose neMesis from reviews on trip advisor. The food was fantastic though we were a bit skeptical about the neighborhood at first (it's fine). The veggie samosa's were really good, and the lamb tortelloni were amazing. My wife loved the salmon with cold quinoa salad, and the guava pork app is very... More

Let me start by saying the food was very good. The meat was fresh, great potatoes and the pasta I had was excellent. They have this chocolate dessert which the chef makes herself and although on the spicy side (which I enjoy but the partner did not), it is very good. :) Almost all their desserts have that african spice...

Was reluctant to go in after the driving through a shady neighbourhood to get there but I'm really glad I did ! This easy to miss tiny corner restaurant is serving the best food I had in Miami, it is kind of going with the new trend of anti-glamour type restaurant that goes for great food rather than high end...

Give your tastebuds permission to go into 4x4 in this eclectic menu. When we went, we were a little concerned because of the atmosphere of the neighborhood, but quickly forgot about it as we went on a "tasting menu" adventure, guided by the chef and owners. The food is impeccable, and the service is attentive without feeling crowded. Enjoy the... More

I have been to this place four times now and it consistently ranks as my number one place in Miami. The food is fun and eclectic. The owner is hands on, fixing each individual plate to perfection. If you are a party of 4 or more, go for the tasting menu so you can experience almost everything on the menu.... More
