I love coming to this restaurant for the specials. All you can eat Lobster, King Crabs 🦀. You’ll always leave so full and the service is amazing and you’ll keep come if back..
We ordered the swordfish dinner and the steak. Both were delicious. Couldn't get enough of the delightful bread rolls. The bartender was also our server this night, guess they were understaffed . Great service, though, and she made great drinks. We had a dirty martini and a raspberry old fashion. Interesting take on an old fashion. Thus made the drive down to Sunny isles worth it. Thanks for a lovely end to a hectic day.
I wish I could give a full 5 stars because the flavor of every dish was delicious and perfect, but due to the portion size of some of the items I have to deduct a star. My wife ordered the special of sautéed carrots and swordfish and an apple fritter dish, but she was deprived of food. I had to give her food from my plate so she could be satisfied. My dish was delicious and perfect. The steak was cooked perfectly. I would definitely go here again on another occasion, but it is very pricey for the portions.
Well we'll, you need to hear my story about our visit here. As most of the visitors I found this place online while visiting Miami, moreover it was recommended to me as one of the best places to have a lobster. So we went on Wednesday night for all you can eat lobster dinner.
The atmosphere is cheap, loud and tastless music playing by so called a DJ, rather I thought it was a radio station. Not very pleasant environment to have a conversation, too loud.
It was very crowded that night, therefore slow service was expected, however our waiter Anthony exceeded his limits, he was not attending our table regularly, nor there was any cleaning efforts to tidy our table. Only when I mentioned not to forget serving us, he started to pay more attention to our table.
Food was pathetic, starting from the starter you get a soup or a salad option. We had both, soup was a clam chowder, it was too thick, too much of a potatoes, more like a potato soup rather than the clam chowder, I am guessing this a cheap canned soups options you can buy in cheap groceries stores, just heated up. Did not eat it
Salad was awful, bunch of leaves, you can not call this a proper salad. Did not eat it
Mashed potatoes, rubbery and probably done from a potato mix powder, awful. Did not eat it
Lobsters were served sometimes called, sometimes warm, sometimes hot. Absolutely tasteless meat, you ought to add at least some salt into water where you boil them. butter dipping sauce was not made from butter instead some synthetic butter substitute.
By the way I've been told these lobsters come from Maine, they are much better served in the great state of Maine rather than in 305.
The bill was over 125$, we paid the bill, but sorry this restaurant does not deserve this attention, food quality is pathetic, service was redicilous. The cost shall be 30$ Max in order to suit it's reality, otherwise you should deliver for 100$ restaurant check.
To summarize, I do not recommend this place to anyone, there are many other decent restaurants in Miami Beach that deliver to it's expectations.
Very dissappointed, hope the real owner sees this review and does something about it. Only deserves 1 star today. Enjoy Miami people

There is a reason this place was empty on a Saturday night. Went here for a birthday and what a disaster.
First off, the service was awful. Tip is included so it makes sense why the servers could not care.
The food was really bland and super expensive. Our bill was ridiculous. Almost like a 5 star restaurant price!
We ordered a birthday tiramisu and got a tasteless dry chocolate cake! What a nightmare.

Nice vibrant restaurant with lively customers and staff. It was nice that as soon as we walked up to the hostess she greeted us with a genuine welcoming smile and a compliment. Once we were immediately seated the server was also very nice. She was having a conversation with us and made us feel like we were at a friend's dinner party. She explained the special of the night which was all you can eat crab and promptly brought us our order. This was our first time going to this restaurant and I will definitely be returning very soon. Keep up the good work staff!
Food is really good 🤤! And the staff has good service. I just didn’t like that they charge you a mandatory 18% service fee (for a party of 3) without telling you and then leave it open for more tips. Also the restaurant is right in front of the water but they don’t have any windows to see it :(
Oh my Friday! All you can eat King crab! I'm in love. Our host was very attentive. The crabs were delicious and hot! I have to remind myself when i visit again to bring a pair of gloves to protect hands from crab shells 😁 I've never had a bad experience at Newport kitchen 305. I suggest this restaurant if you love seafood and lots of it. They not only have all you can eat nights they also have a full menu.
