One of the most creative brunch spots I've seen. Food is quality, despite being a brunch buffet. A little pricey, but worth the experience.

On February 3rd, a friend and I were in Miami and were excited to dine at Nemo after all the reviews that I read on this site. I have to tell you that we were shocked that our experience was so vastly different then that ones we read about. We sat outside and the weather was beautiful. The setting was lovely and we thought we were off to a great start. We ordered the crab cake appetizer and it was dry and full of filler. I ordered the filet and it was one of the worst I've had. The yuca that was served with it was inediable- horrible. The steak was not cooked enough and I had to send it back. When it returned, it was burnt. I left it on my plate. Our waitress was painfully slow and the bad meal stretched on and on. My friend's meal was not good either. After the waitress cleared our plates without even inquiring about why we didn't eat, we thought we'd try dessert. My friend got the key lime pie and it was pretty good. I got the carrot cake and it was dry and flavorless. It was so bad that I did not eat it. I would have ordered something else to replace it, but our waitress didn't come back and by the time we called for her we were ready to leave. I felt sick about the bill and the wasted experience. We were only in Miami for one day and there had to be 50 other restaurants within 10 miles that we could have gotten a better meal, with better service. Will NEVER go there again.

We ate at Nemo last Wednesday night and had an absolutely excellent meal, the food is really top notch and very inventive with flavors and textures. However, do not accept seating on the inside bench seat tables - these are the tables where one diner sits on a long bench shared by tables next to you and one sits opposite the bench on a chair. These inside "bench tables" are placed so closely together that one has to turn sideways to slide between the tables to reach the bench. The result is some of the best quality food, ruined by the totally unacceptable noise from the tables on either side of you and around you. By 8:15 PM the noise level in the inside seating area was like a bar at Friday happy hour - not what I expected from a restaurant serving food of this quality. Between that and the cologne from the diners on either side we were very distracted from the food. There are three or four standalone tables inside (as I recall) and more outside. If I went again, I'd definitely ask to be seated outside -- the inside noise and minimal distance between the tables are just too much to put up with when paying premium prices for top-rate meals. Oh -- almost forgot - we were two of four folks there when we arrived, but oddly enough they filled up every table around us on our side of the dining room -- rather than spreading them around as they arrived . . . which only contributed to the noise issue for anyone seated.

Amazing food.
