Klaw Miami

Food was overall very good, as well as the kindness of the waiters, waitress and bussers. The ambiance and esthetic of the establishment is also beautiful and peaceful overlooking one of the nicest aspects of Biscayne Bay. The ultimate problem and disgust that absolutely ruined the experience is with the restaurant manager Valerie Pizarro. Her tone and verbiage towards the "guests" who attempt to provide feedback on their service was honestly the worst I have experienced in any country or establishment here in Miami. She treated our table in a very disrespectful and inattentive manner while nearly subtly racially profiling the guest ability to pay for their food due to addressing a service discrepancy. I stopped by with family and friends to host a brunch to celebrate my birthday. My food as well as the guest sitting next to me did not come out w. the meals of the rest of the group. We waited an additional 30-40 minutes for our food to come out after the group was already done eating. After the meal when the bill came, the restaurant made NO initial effort to address, acknowledge, or right their wrong in affecting our experience and we kindly addressed this issue with the server and asked for a full or partial adjustment for the 2 items that came out very late (and still not correct) - due to the fact that the items that came out well after everyone was done eating were still on the bill and clearly forgotten in the order. The waiter returned and kindly shared they would offer a complementary desert rather than add an adjustment to for the items that came out obscenely late. I asked to speak the manager, where Valerie appeared completely disengaged and unwilling to listen to our experience before we even expressed our issue as she had her mind made up. She stated "I'll take off a desert and nothing else" We shared that we are happy to pay for our desert as it came out on time along side the other desert orders and her next response was "I take off what I want and you pay for everything else" I noticed she was not receptive to the experience of her patrons and attempted to share feedback and let her know that the principal was not about the money, but more so the dining experience & the fact that as the person who hosted the brunch for my birthday that it wasn't the best experience for the entire group trying to wait for me and my friend to eat after saying grace. Valerie was completely inattentive to anything we had to say, continuously cut me off while trying to express my feedback on our experience and attempted to walk away several times during the conversation and said "I know what kind of guy you are, you just want to act like a big man in front of your people." Imagine that on your birthday while speaking respectfully. I asked for her to bring me her card so I can speak to the hospitality group since she was unwilling to take the feedback and I feel that her attitude as a restaurant manager was unacceptable and instead of coming back as manager and addressing the issue head on, she sent it with the sever instead who was not apart of the conversation at all after we initially escalated the issue along side a bill with none of the adjustments we requested. I asked the waiter to please send the manager over with her own card as a sign of respect for the conversation at minimum as she repeatedly disrespected us in her dialogue where she returned with her card and said "heres my card and if you have a problem with paying its fine, ill call the police." As an active member of the miami community who is a partner in several businesses in the area I will be sure to deter anyone from dining in this venue due to Valeries actions, especially as a manager. Im almost floored that you can even share a building with GROOT Hospitality as Dave would not tolerate such terrible behavior from management staff at any of his venues & will do my due diligence to speak with the owner of this establishment to have this addressed as it is allegedly privately owned. This is the service to expect from management at $1384.14

Hoy fui a celebrar una OCASIÓN ESPECIAL y definitivamente todo fue TERRIBLE, las bebidas de lo peor y carísimas, pedí the mother of Miami y no tenían los ingredientes, luego pedimos un ceviche el cual era IMPOSIBLE DE COMER de lo salado que estaba y el tartar de atún MALÍSIMO, NUNCA MÁS VOLVERÍA A ESTE RESTAURANT Y NO LO RECOMENDARÍA PARA NADA

Great sommeliers, meat, and upscale service!

Everything good but the food

We didn’t dine at Klaw, which shares a location with Casadonna Italian Restaurant. Our visit to Casadonna was solely for brunch, but we took the opportunity to check out Klaw for future reference and to take in the panoramic views from its terrace. Perched atop the building, the terrace offered breathtaking vistas. We’re looking forward to dining there on our next visit.
