The Raleigh in Miami Beach

If I could give it a 0, I would. They charged hundreds of dollars of items to our credit cards that we never ordered or received, then wouldn't return our calls the next day to try to reconcile. Maybe they are used to dealing with drunk people who don't know they are being screwed and don't know how to handle a sober person with proof...

Avoid this scam.

When we arrived the hostess was short and rude, just really acted like someone who hated her job and everyone that csme in there. we only had 4 out of our 6 people in the party and she said she couldn't seat us. We told her we were going to order apps and drinks... finally she seated us but only at a four person table. She said we could "slide up two more chairs when they got there".

The servers were mostly nice after that, but the service was extremely slow and undependable. The food was decent at best but WAY over priced, especially for the quality.

The food is good but the service is awful! If I could provide no stars I would. Sit in the bar, the servers are much friendlier up there! Our waiter disappeared. We were the first reservation to show up and the room was empty so we weren't even that busy. Then the manager shows up long after we requested the bill, like 30 mins after and has an attitude with us. Again no waiter in sight... Now he can't split the bill for us and gives an attitude about it when someone in be party asked. I don't spend spend 100 bucks for dinner to wait and be yelled out... Not worth it!

The food was overall good, but definitely not worth the hype. The serving sizes are laughable bordering pretentious. I understand the concept of small portions and presentation but it went too far. I would give 3 or 4 stars but here is why I dock it to 2: there are Bao buns on the menu but what we were served were pork sliders on Brioche buns. These are not Bao Buns by definition and is misleading. Please don’t call them Bao buns if they are pork sliders served on Brioche bread. I then told the waiter this and he agreed. However, he responded with “I can’t disagree with the chef” which I found a little off putting. We asked to take them off the bill which they did.

Not a good experience. The two "bartenders" were way more into themselves and looking at themselves in the mirror than attending to customers. To add insult to injury we had to pay the included/mandatory 20 pct tip to those creepy chicks. My real "tip" to them would be to go find another job you might be good at. It was a really, weird, cold, and snotty vibe. I would never go back here again. Food was just ok... the table service was at least better than the bar and decent!

I decided to eat here because of the Miami Spice event, and quite frankly it felt like a screw you to people who can't afford to eat here normally. The dishes were all tiny (two fried shrimp is an appetizer?) and when I looked at other people's plates who'd ordered from the normal menu there was substantially more food. Furthermore, I got a strong sense from our waitress that she would rather be serving someone who's check was going to be bigger. She was much more attentive to tables ordering from the normal menu, and we rarely saw her. I understand that Miami Spice prices are going to be much cheaper than a restaurants regular prices and they don't necessarily want to lose money, but don't participate in Miami Spice then. It felt like once they became aware that we would be ordering from that menu they tried their hardest to wrap up our meal and get us out as quickly as possible. Also we weren't notified there was gratuity already included and I left an additional 15%. Dishonest and snobby.

What a waste of a Miami evening. We brought our own wine knowing that there would be a "corking fee" of $50 per bottle. One of our bottles were larger...so they charged us $100. Why? no extra glasses and we poured most of it ourselves. Our bill was $650 for six of us including tip. The food was nothing special. The 8oz Filet was just average.
Everything in Miami is 18% gratuity included on your bill. Our waiter asked us for an additional 15% to 20% tip claiming the 18% goes to the "other help" What a scam...what are supposed to do? Look cheap in front of your friends?
