Villa Mayfair Restaurant & Lounge: Good, But Could Have Been Better

Your review:

"I was invited last week to Villa Mayfair by few friends and we had an amazing dinner  that first started with some great cocktails at the bar! The food was amazing, the service was impeccable and the place really looks beautiful. It may be one of the few $$$ worth the $. I really enjoyed my time there. Ah and don't miss the desserts !"

This is fun!  Keep at it.  Make sure you keep doing it on Yelp too, they love filtering and removing fake reviews

"They have a great atmosphere, the service is impeccable and the food is just simply amazing. From the simple appetizer cesar salad, to the mint chocolate brownie desert EVERYTHING on their menu is delicious. Even if you're just sitting at the bar, don't expect bowls of plain peanuts, these folks serve up a heaping cup full of thick sliced glazed bacon that I could eat all night."

"I met some friends here for drinks only at first but wow! What a cool place! I loved the decor and the ambiance!They have some great cocktails plus the bartender was a blast. We finally got a table and decided to have dinner there.Food and presentation was excellent. Had the Arborio Risotto with saving of Foie Gras. Food is definitely worth the money.The presentation of everything they serve is very creative and enduring, while not for one second do they hold back on the quality of the food, the ingredients and the taste. Outstanding in every aspect.Even desert was amazing. I highly recommend the Villa Mayfair Raspberry Maccaron!The ambiance is as good as pure South Beach's finest and the people there are equally as impressive.The staff treats you like you're an important person,I had an amazing time! This restaurant is one of a kind! It’s definitely a place that everyone in the Miami area should visit once in their life. This is really a great place for any occasion, you will not be disappointed!! "

Some from Barton G's Yelp page:

"We met some friends here for drinks only but wow! What a cool place! I loved the decor! The cocktail menu was on an iPad that the bartender placed in front of you, which made the menu easy to read in the low light.We ordered these crazy drinks, served in unique stem wear, that contained liquid nitrogen to add to the effect. Take a look at my photos and you will see what I am talking about. I loved the bartender, he was a blast."

"A dining experience unlike any other. From the moment you pull up to the front door you feel special. The ambiance is pure South Beach's finest and the people there are equally as impressive. The staff treats you like you're an important person, unlike at many other places where they feel like they're the special ones. The presentation could be the best I've ever seen. Creative and enduring, while not for one second do they hold back on the quality of the food, the ingredients and the taste. Outstanding in every aspect. Even desert was amazing. I highly recommend the Creme Brule."

"First if you have to take pictures of the dishes, use a good camera cause yours look terrible and don't make justice to what we see in the plate !the food there  is fantastic. Our waiter “ Raph “had very good  knowledge of each dish we were served, and we really felt like royalty the entire night. Really loved the Sea Scallop and caviar tower that comes with Saffron potatoes. All of the signature dishes seems delicious and I can’t wait to try them all.With food this fresh & prepared with such detail, I don't mind the price tagTheir service is amazing!  Beautiful place, beautiful food, beautiful people,  'Nuff said.I love this place and will definitely come back with all of my friends :) "

From Nobu Miami Beach:

"Besides the unfortunate location, the food is fantastic. Our waiter had intimate knowledge of each dish we were served, & we really felt like royalty the entire night. Sake was amazing! Really loved the Tiradito. All of the signature dishes were delicious, including the decadent black cod.

With food this fresh & prepared with such detail, I don't mind the price tag. I don't think you Miamians understand how expensive & difficult it is to get certain types of fish all the way over here, & to be that fresh! I can't imagine the cost to Nobu."

I love it.  Get out of your South Beach ghetto for an evening  and drive over to Coconut Grove.For entree I had the Arborio RisottoIt was delicious and the Foie Gras was awesome. Definitely some of the best I've ever had.The star of the show here by far was the The Villa Mayfair Raspberry Maccaron. It was out of this world, warm, soft, and incredibly delicious.They also have a DJ that play such classy music as well while you have dinner,I can't speak highly enough about our experience. I invite you to give it a try...Oooo so GOOD !   : ) "

Your review:

"Classic elegance ensconced in a beautiful Coconut Grove neighborhood. The selection of food is very very good.The Sea Bass a la Plancha served with artichoke barigould topped with crispy pancetta was absolutely awesome !The waiter was making absolutely sure we had everything we needed and kept our glasses full. Perfect Service with a smile, and on top some quality music. that capture the moment played by a real  DJ . Great experience !Oh, is it pricey some might say. Maybe, it is, but not outrageously so. I've paid a lot more in many other places, only to experience a lot less.I will definitely be back there soon and recommend everyone to go. "

I remember loving the sanglier they had for the Beaujolais Nouveau menu.On their dinner menu I've has the seabass, the mussels, and the duck leg confit. Everything was perfectly cook and very tasty.

Excellent service à la française and bonne humeur."

George's in the Grove:

"Service was excellent and you don't feel rushed to finish your meal.  They take more of the European approach here and want you to take your time and enjoy your food.  Great for a group of friends who want to celebrate a birthday or a fun date night.  I highly recommend this place."

Hey where'd my comment go?  Oh you must've flagged it because I exposed you.

For those that missed it, Romain Rousseau is in the marketing industry and was, at one point, listed as the page owner of Villa Mayfair's Facebook page.  Lulz.  I guess you were the one who thought it would be a good idea to post fake reviews all over the place?  Oh yea, they're all gone.

Just perform a Google search for: "villa mayfair facebook romain rousseau"

I agree, and those prices aren't going to fly in this economy, not in the Grove anyway.
