- MMariaMiami - Dade •2 reviews5.0Dined on Mar 2, 2025We really enjoy Craft and have previously gone to other locations. The food is amazing, the quality is great, and the service and ambiance are wonderful. Truly, the only negative remark I have to make is putting together round tables for larger parties makes the seating awkward as it creates gaps in the table. This should be an automatic no unless it's a last-minute party and the guest approves.More infoCRAFT South MiamiPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• South Miami•4.6
