   Canadian Montrealer's visiting stubborn seed for the first time. We were very excited for the experience and it somewhat delivered. The service was good, the cocktails also the best I've had in Miami, the food had some hits and misses. There was a new dish off the menu the servers gave to try. They managed to explain the ingredients well but couldn't explain how to eat the dish, as part of the dish came in a little cup. We were wondering if we were to drink the cup as a broth, or just spoon out the peas from it. We also ordered the Keluga caviar as add-ons to our dishes. The server suggested it to be paired with the spring nettle raviolo and local red snapper. The pairing was great with the spring nettle raviolo, however, was a total miss with the red snapper. Taking a bite of the cold caviar with the hot snapper just didn't go together. It would have been better paired with the yellowtail crudo that was equal temperature as the caviar. The Westhole ranch wagyu and Florida stone crab was good but bizarre temperature presentation-wise. The wagyu arrived cold, and the stone crab arrived hot.. basically the complete opposite of what you'd expect temperature-wise for the two ingredients. The other dishes were great and quality ingredients used at Stubborn seed, just need to go over pairings & dish instructions with the servers.

    The new tasting menu is a success. It is a fine restaurant, worthy of its Michelin star. The wine pairing is reasonably priced, which can be unusual.

    A truly amazing experience. The staff was attentive but not annoying. Each bite was wonderful. My husband didn’t like the bison tartare but I thought it was perfect The wine pairing was generous. I would certainly splurge for this again

    An incredible evening, from top to bottom. Service was outstanding, staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and personable. The menu was carefully designed and impeccably executed. The wine pairings were well considered and led to more than one greater-than-the-sum-of-the-parts moments in conjunction with the paired food. Truly, a special experience.

    This is probably my tenth visit to Stubborn Seed. They continue to have an interesting, thoughtful and — of course — delicious menu. They source locally. They update the menu seasonally but also make tweaks between updates. There’s great attention to detail in the food, presentation and the service. My only critiques are that a couple of the wines in the pairing are only ok and that the pacing of the food is inconsistent (often, long lags). The last two times I’ve been there and ate at the bar and have been taken care of by Jackie, who is wonderful, and has also created some very interesting cocktails.

    Server and food were great. But it took about 10-15 minutes between each of the 9 courses for them to bring out each dish. The wait time between dishes made it less enjoyable.

    Excellent food, nice ambiance. Giving a lower rating because the staff made a really bad error in the middle of our dinner sequence and we ended up waiting 45 minutes for the last (main) dish. They were clearly serving many other tables that started dinner after us, but it never occurred to anybody to check on us. We had to tell our waiter after about 35 mins, otherwise not sure how long this would have taken (we had a curfew - to let our babysitter go and put the kid to sleep). They offered us free cocktails to compensate (which we couldn’t do since we’ve had enough to drink by then - wife took a mocktail and I declined), but it never occurred to them to take portion of the bill or offer a discount. This basically turned a super nice and expensive celebratory night out into a meh evening. Overall - nice place, good food, but do make sure you haven’t fallen out of staff’s queue / schedule.

    The place is rock and cool, not too fancy. The team is smiley and let you breath (not asking if it’s good every minutes - hate this), the rythme of the service was fine and the food… was just excellent. Every dish was really creative and made with sourced and local ingredients. It was such a good experience ! A star is well deserved. Also great cocktail maker at the bar.

    Wine was not poured on the table. All the dishes had the same flower garnish, the wagyu was cold. We left so hungry after our dinner we had to go for pizza. The service was the best part of the evening.

    Fantastic food here — really fabulous kitchen show, service was knowledgeable, wine pairing option was well priced and with some very clever mixes. Cocktails were strong. Maybe not the perfect spot for a romantic date, a bit more industrial location, but if you’re a foodie this is the spot to go.

    We went for the chef's tasting. Every bite was better than the last. And we really loved the various servers- there was one in particular that had a poetic way of describing each course. Had a wonderful experience! We loved that it was brave and adventurous but rooted in traditional classics. Really glad we checked this place out!

    Every time we come to Miami, it is a “must” to dine at The Stubborn Seed. And every time,without fail, we get to experience a new tasting menu with new delicious, inventive and unforgettable courses. The ambience is perfect - upscale casual but so relaxed. Nothing stuffy about it, yet there’s an appreciated focus on letting the menu take center stage. The bread course, the yellowtail, the snapper were standouts on a menu of all excellent courses. Service is always stellar. There’s always the sense of excitement as courses arrive at fellow tables that gives the experience a bit of camaraderie without it being collective. More like we all acknowledge how smart we are for being there. Cannot wait for the next time!
