We had one of the best service experiences I have had in Miami! The manager, server, bartender, wait assist...all of them, were kind and attentive. We were wowed by everything we ate. We could not pick a favorite thing. I had been here a couple of times and I was always impressed. This time I brought my best friends to celebrate our birthdays. Bunbury made it so special. Thank you!

Outstanding culinary experience. Eclectic, “whole-in-the-wall” with Michelin Star, top notch-food. Watching your meal made with front row view and served by both Chef Evan and Osmel adds to the dining delight. Great “pop-up” ambiance and entire staff is in on making your meal highly enjoyable! If you’re in Miami area definitely worth the drive or Uber ride!
