Mignonette Downtown

Amazing Friday dinner experience. The food was so good, and I loved the menu variety. Our server was so nice and funny, and gave really good recommendations. His timing was perfect all night. We loved chatting with him. (I wish I could remember his name 😩 I just remember that he was from Algeria!) The oyster selection was great, we enjoyed all of them and the variety. The wine I chose was super yummy, and the desserts were insanely good. We couldn’t decide between two desserts, so they brought us the second one we didn’t select on the house, along with a candle in the other for my birthday. Big thanks to our server and the lovely hostess who helped make my birthday so special! We can’t wait to come back.

We visited for Miami Spice and had a wonderful experience! Our server, Luis, was patient with us not knowing what to order and made great recommendations. We opted for a bottle of wine, which is definitely worth it instead of paying for individual glasses. The chargrilled oysters are divine as well as the lobster deviled eggs. The red fish is delicious, though the rice was a bit soggy for my liking. Finally, the butterscotch bread pudding is amazing! Come with an appetite, you will not be disappointed.

Our first Miami Spice restaurant! $60 for an app, entree, and dessert. This restaurant reminds me of New Orleans. The decoration is minimalist with a New Orleans flair and it is well done! I felt relaxed here. The music was great…Haitian jazz to beasty boys..super fun. Our server, Lester, shared the menu with us, asked if anyone had allergies or questions. He gave us the perfect amount of time to look at the menu and we never felt rushed. The crispy black fish with lump crab, olives and beans was soooo good. They were very generous with the lump crab meat and I really appreciated that! The fish and sauce with a nice roux type gravy..was not overly salty. I loved that none of the dishes felt overly salty. Another thing I found super interesting were the sides they offered. The sides offered with the entrees are unique and not the standard steamed veggie or fried potatoes. The pairings are unique and if you didn’t want them, you can actually request to change out your sides to some on the actual sides menu. I thought that was a nice touch and something you don’t see very often. Feedback on the desert is that the bread pudding flavor has depth and layers of flavor but I found it to be incredibly sweet. Tone down the sweetness a little, and it would be perfect. As a New Orleans native, I was impressed with their Cajun influences. Sitting across from the cemetery, I felt just like I was at home in NOLA. 😂 I can’t wait to come back and try gumbo one night. Lester told me the roux is brown so you know that’s a good sign! Mignonette, I am so excited to get some New Orleans seafood in Miami. Our family will certainly be back!

Absolutely lovely staff and restaurant, delicious food! I got the lobster deviled eggs, the red fish, and the butterscotch bread pudding, my husband got the oyster sampler, the black grouper, and the carrot cake. We forgot to take pictures of our entrees or the dessert, everything was so delicious! We love coming to Miami for our anniversary, and we'll be coming back to Mignonette Downtown next year. Shout out to our server, Carmen, who was very attentive and made us feel very welcome.

Best sea food in Miami. Oyster Rockefeller, cornbread and lobster roll were delicious plus dessert was amazing. Bread pudding was delicious. Cheers to the staff for making our anniversary special. Shout out to Danny our server!
