- MmigdaliaMiami - Dade •16 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoMy sister and I dined at Timbr for her birthday. From the moment we entered the restaurant we were greeted warmly and they asked whose birthday it was; they wished her well. Once we were seated we were seated we met our lovely server, Kaya. It seemed that her mission that evening was to treat us well and celebrate with us. Mission accomplished. She was knowledgeable about the menu and the cocktail selection. She helped us tailor our experience from start to finish. I highly recommend the milk bread to start. So soft , sweet with a touch of saltiness. And that honey butter, yum. We would definitely return to explore the menu further. Timbr was a wonderful surprise!More infoTimbr$$$$• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.5
