Let's just go ahead and title this as my favorite spot in Miami to go get a bite to eat. This time, I decided to come visit on my birthday with my wife! Hands down, I have to let you know how the bartender set us up just right with the perfect pre-birthday turn up Lemon Drops to start off the evening. The experience was nothing less of EXCEPTIONAL! The service, the attention to detail, the attentiveness to the customers, all 5 Star Ratings! Keep up the great work, Blue Collar! This is definitely one of the very few establishments that I frequently visit and always leave with positive results! 💯

As always, the food and service were fantastic. We both ordered the winter salad and smoked cobia, both of which were innovative and delicious. For dessert we ordered the mango ice cream which was a creative combination of flavors. This is one of our favorite restaurants in Miami.

I took my mom for her birthday, It was our first time going and it succeeded all expectations. We were amazed with the quality of the food and the service. Our server was Alberto but all the other staff was amazing as well. They even brought a complementary drink for her birthday and made sure her day was special. I definitely recommend this place and will be going back🤍🤍
