Wilde on the Porch, Miami Beach FL

Ugh…only ate here because we are staying in the hotel and after a day of travel just wanted something close by. $118 later and we’re still hungry and could have gotten better food from a gas station. $17 for jarred salsa and flavorless guac, $20 for chicken tacos that were so blah I’m shocked something like this would be served in a city full of Latin culture. And a burger that was virtually flavorless and most definitely seemed like a frozen patty. A little bit of salt and Seasoning would have at least made it a tad more bearable. Absolutely absurd to have paid this much for such sub par food and just two drinks. Would have mentioned something to the manger but seemed like a lost cause when they have the audacity to charge as much as they did for run of the mill jarred salsa. Thankfully we did our research and were forewarned that they added an automatic gratuity of 20% to avoid being further ripped off. They definitely are just taking advantage of the location and being in the hub of south beach.

Marisol was our server and she was amazing. Very attentive and sweet as pie! I will definitely be back soon <3

Marisol is the ABSOLUTE BEST! Thank you for showing me love and great customer service! Would definitely recommend to any friends.

Sami is the man! Had breakfast here 2 days in a row. Great service, music, and food. You won’t be disappointed if Sami is waiting on your table.

Marisol was an absolute joy to have as a server. So kind and the food complimented her wonderful service.

All in all, it's worth a visit.
A little more detail for only three stars:

We had the pancakes with fruit, but there was very little fruit on them.
The steak and eggs were very good. The steak hit the spot medium excellent! The iced latte was unfortunately almost all milk.
The service also only gets three stars because we were forgotten a few times in front of the patio. But let's leave the bad things aside. The food tasted very good overall. Even with the little things.

We went twice for breakfast and the second time we came back was more because of how excellent our waiter, Sami was. Great food and awesome service.

This is a tourist trap. Waiter got our order wrong: I asked for salad instead of potatoes and I got potatoes. My partner asked for bacon and we never got it. He asked for a glass of water and we never got it.
Eggs were overcooked, bacon was cold and some pieces were almost raw, bread had been toasted hours earlier.
The red velvet pancakes were raw.
The watermelon - orange fresh juice was completely watered down, no idea how they can charge $9 for this.
Our waiter never came to check on us again. We had to ask other waiters to get him for us to bring our check but he never showed so we had to ask someone else and we made sure to ask to remove the included gratuity.
Very disappointed, as locals we were looking forward to try this place out.

I was a little cautious when it came to trying this place out because South Beach restaurants have thousands of fake reviews. Just look through all of the restaurants in the area with thousands of 5* reviews but 0-1 other reviews. It's all bots or people who are being paid to leave reviews. I'm not accusing this restaurant of doing the same thing but most restaurants aren't exactly trying to hide it.

I was pleasantly surprised though. My experience was really good. Food was a lot better than I expected and our server Jessy was very kind, funny and attentive. Hookah was a little pricey but it's South Beach and smoking hookah in public is illegal in my home state so I didn't mind paying for it.

Food was excellent. I loved my steak and eggs. However, I was ignored by two servers when I asked them to get my server so we could pay. I did not want to hold the table given how busy they were becoming.

We loved the decor and music. However, given the service, this will not be my first choice when we return to Miami.

We chose this restaurant for brunch because of the good reviews online, but we were quitte disappointed…

First of all, the chairs outdoors are very high compared to the table height, so we had to lean forward a lot to eat (and yet, we are quite short… so I can’t imagine what it is like to eat there when you are tall…).

Then, in terms of food, it’s clearly overpriced: $18 for a regular egg benedict, with an egg that was not correctly poached (the yolk was not flowing when we cut it) … nothing fancy about how the food was dressed on the plate… and we are given plastic cups for the water… Otherwise, the food tasted good (thank God!).

Finally, the service was quite slow despite the fact that it was not busy at all (there were at most 4-5 occupied tables when we were there) … The food took a while to arrive, and once we finished and they took away our plates, they never came back to ask if we wanted anything else or the check… We had to call them…
As for the atmosphere, it’s nice that they have an outdoor seating area, but the music was too loud for a proper chat (without yelling at each other) …

No service but you charge 20% on your bill. Lunch not very good, the bacon is the cheapest they serve, really not good.

Best brunch I’ve ever had! Our waiter, Samy was amazing and made our experience here that much better! Prime spot on the beach with great music and energy!

Have a lot of fun there, our server Sofia was super kind and give us very good recommendations, we will come back!

The place is really cool I came here with friends to smoke some hooka and also eat and have some drinks. If you go and you have the luck to have Sofi as your server it will be the best experience of your life. I felt welcomed and also she was always on point with her recommendations. I love when I go to a place and they try their best for you to enjoy the moment. She was super friendly and adorable. I will come back 5 stars for their staff. Thank you again Sofi for making it a memorable experience
