“Great little hidden gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 days ago NEW

A small boutique French restaurant away from the bustle of Collins in South Beach. We had brunch there. The restaurant was empty and we had eggs benedict over a crab cake with a lobster bisque - simply delicious. My wife liked hard eggs and even though we had asked for them to be hard they turned up soft. They got... More

“Terrific food, great service at the delightful French Bistro!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago NEW

I live in South Beach for part of the year (Manhattan for the remainder) and I find this little bistro to be one of the best secrets in South Beach. The food is always exceptional, and the prices (for South Beach) a remarkable value. They've always believed in offering good wines, at a reasonable price too, so you can have... More

“What a great place, we loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago via mobile

If you want a loud, over-priced, pretentious restaurant in South Beach then keep looking because you won't find it here. Otentic is a small, chic, French bistro just 5 minutes' walk from the frantic bustle of Ocean Drive and we were SO pleased we followed the other reviews and gave it a try. It has a small, intimate feel with... More

“Exceptional food!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago via mobile

If you visit Miami Beach, especially near 5th Street, try this place and avoid the restaurants on Ocean Drive. The food was freshly prepared and tasted divine. Nice atmosphere and friendly wait staff. A lot a variety on the menu. Would definitely go back again.

“Excellent food and great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 weeks ago via mobile

My girlfriend and I went there on our first night in Miami Beach. We both got the Steak Maurice recommended by the staff. The course was outstanding and the portions were the perfect size. Excellent taste balance with exquisite ingredients. We do highly recommend this place with very nice staff and location. Enjoy!!

“Hidden Treasure ”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 weeks ago via mobile

This is a fabulous restaurant. I have been twice in the past week with different groups and had great experiences both times. We ordered different things so we could all try the menu. Everything was so flavorful and presented picture perfect. Love the romantic candle lit cafe style. Staff was great and paid attention to detail.

“Fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 weeks ago via mobile

This is the best restaurant I've eaten so far in Miami Beach. They really know how to prepare the food in the French way. And the service was excellent! For me it was like going out for dinner back home.
