Vintro Kitchen

This was our 2^nd visit to Vintro Kitchen and we had as lovely an experience and meal as our visit last year. The food was great and our server Beni was so knowledgable, professional, pleasant and attentive. We will certainly visit again next time we are in South Beach!

So I went for breakfast and honestly I just wasn’t impressed with the spread. For 21 $ per person buffet style I thought there would be a lot to choose from. The only thing they had was poached eggs, bacon, and that’s it for hot food. Otherwise it was regular continental with muffins, croissants, and cold cereal Froot Loops and corn flakes.
Granted i don’t if the menu changes every day but it didn’t seem so. I just don’t think I would go to restaurant and pay 21 $ for such limited options.

Really disappointed with this place. Only 5 items on their lunch menu and the chef refused to to sub the fries with a side salad. I ended up ordering a Greek salad, which says «the classic creek salad you know and love with Feta and a citrus vinaigrette. When we got our food, it was grilled zucchini, squash, and green beans with a white cream sauce. When we asked to talked to the chef, they said that he didn’t speak English. I told them that I spoke Spanish and then he came back and said I’ll go get the manager. 20 minutes later, the house keeping manager showed up to the restaurant and asked what was going on. When we told him, he said, unfortunately there is nothing that he could do bc he was the housekeeping manager. Our bill was $ 92 for 4 entrees and no one was happy. Spare yourself the hassle and don’t come here

This place breaks my heart because I think it has such potential! First and foremost, it says something about a highly rated establishment that has ONLY 3 table between 7pm and 9pm. Now I’m sure Miami is a later dinner crowd but still this place was DEAD for a Saturday night. There were only 3 other couples being served the whole time we were there. The menu prices are a bit high for the mediocre food and wine selection. Between my husband and myself. We tried the goat cheese croquettes, the meatballs, catch of the day, the duck, and chocolate mousse for dessert,
The service was fine but definitely not what I would call exemplary! They did not honor a Unilocal special for appetizers and wine. They just said it was no longer being offered even though I checked in the same day. Also I don’t appreciate it when you bring bread to the table without asking and then charge me $ 3 for it on the bill!
Overall — We won’t be coming back!

Best seafood I’ve had in Miami! Everything was spectacular and the family style plates made it very convenient for us to taste many dishes. We tried the goat cheese prosciutto vegetable croquettes, seared scallops, grilled octopus, orzo mac & goat cheese, and the hanger steak. It is obvious that they use the freshest ingredients and that their menu was given much thought because the combination of flavors was phenomenal. This is truly somewhere where the food tastes as delicious as the pictures look, I can’t wait to go back soon and impress some friends.

Vintro really is a hidden gem. I was there the day I was proposed to and the experience was outstanding. We enjoyed champagne by the pool and chocolate covered strawberries. Later that night we had dinner at Vintro Kitchen, the food was to die for. We ordered the Ceviche and Scallops and both were the freshest we’ve ever had. The scallops were seared to perfection and melted in your mouth. The breakfast was great, they had an awesome cheese selection that made you feel like you were in the south of France. The experience was truly amazing and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend the suites by the pool and the extraordinary Vintro Kitchen.

Went to Vintro with a friend for to try their Miami Spice menu and I fell in love! Unlike most Miami Spice offerings we’ve tried at similarly priced and located venues, Vintro’s Spice menu offered menu favorites in their normal portion sizes. We ordered the goat cheese croquettes and the calamari with squid ink aioli — both were delicious, rich and beautifully presented. For our main course we ordered the fish of the day and the lamb burger. The portion sizes we’re extremely healthy, and I found myself feeling full halfway through the lamb burger, which is pretty much a giant blend of delicious, tender, succulent heaven. My friend had the fish, which was also fantastic — not surprising, given the executive chef himself came out to explain the menu and tell us how fish is his favorite staple to get creative with. He said he picks out the day’s fish himself every morning — whatever catches his fancy. The owner of the restaurant also sat down with us for a bit to ask what we thought of everything and go into detail on his vision for the restaurant, the food and the atmosphere. For a Wednesday night, it was quiet — a few couples and friends dined here and there while music (Grecian, Spanish flamenco, etc… pretty much all things sultry, Mediterranean and rhythm-​driven) played in the background. Watching the owner come in and out, sometimes dancing to the music, made us feel like we were at his home and being treated to a home cooked meal among friends and family. Will definitely be back!

Went there expecting a lot from them. A friend recommended highly and I walked in when restaurant was closed, but interior was interesting and front desk person was very kind. made a reservation with opentable added note asking for candle with desert for my boyfriend’s birthday. When we arrived, place was half empty (summer slow season in Miami) and waiter gave us a choice of table to sit down. We had a nice table by the door to riverside dining area. Everything was delicious, and the owner came over and offer to take us an tour of hotel, nice gesture! After that disappointment after disappointment — waiter brought my appetizer along with my main dish, even though I told I’ll have small dish before the main dish!!! Then desert had no candle!!! none of them thought to check my note from reservation, that was bad bad bad. I would give them 3 stars for food and décor, 2 stars for service.

Just speaking to the hotel, this was a nice boutique hotel. My wife and I are not the typical type for this hotel, but we are glad we branched out and tried it. It is a trendy spot. I enjoyed the room and how it was decorated and the whole hotel. The pool is not really a pool, just a hot tub that is not necessarily hot. Also, the air conditioner had a lower limit so the room never got to cold. My final compliant is how expensive parking is at $ 35 a day. I guess this may be standard for Miami however.
The room was very nice and my wife and I enjoyed the voyager shower! Location was also nice because it was close to all the action but not right in the middle of everything to were it is to busy.

Please, don’t waste your time! The worse food that I had in life ! Also expensive ! They should look back for the Menu and have many changes !!! I hate it!!! Grrrrr
WHOM IN THE SANE MIND Change the famous Tiramisu, Italian dessert and put pieces of Pineapple??? Afeeee, Jesus Christ!!!

I really wanted to love this place! With the boutique touch away from the hustle and bustle of South Beach, I thought for sure it would be a perfect blend. But, I was surprised it didn’t turn out that way. Overall ambience on Sunday is trendy and the restaurant and hotel have a cool trendy décor. Other than that, these are the issues that can be worked on;
Brunch — Everyone loves a good one, but to not have any eggs served in the buffet or offer them a la carte is basically eating a Hot Dog without a Bun! Not enough Brunch items and menu lacks creativity. They were too focused on the bbque lamb, meat, chicken and the «Caja China» type pork they were cooking, which was not very good at all. The center table consisted of fruits and deserts with a vanilla type yogurt with berries which did not taste very good. The rest of the items consisted of scallop potatoes (which was pretty much the best part of the brunch) with other types of rice and oh yes a tray of bacon! I guess that is why it was called a Brunch. It was 1:00pm and the place was pretty much empty. Considering most Miami hotspots are packed for Brunch!
Drinks — They advertised $ 68 brunch with $ 30 additional unlimited Mimosas, and Sangrias. They did not ask who was going to have the additional drink special and assumed our entire party of 8 would have them. Well they did charge the entire party while we had a minor that obviously didn’t drink and other two adults in our party didn’t either, but the bill came with these three additional drink specials which was an extra $ 90 added. So beware, ask and let them know!
Service — was non-​existence, we had to constantly ask for refills, for silverware and the dirty plates kept stacking up at our table.
And last, but definitely not least! The Valet at $ 20.00 is ridiculous and the wait time to get our car was approx 15 minutes.

If you’re looking for a boutique hotel that will speak MIAMI upon walking into the door, well this is the place. The interior design of the hotel, the room color scheme, the art décor and of course the super friendly staff made this hotel very enjoyable.
As for the location; happening areas such as Miami Beach, Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road were just a few minutes away within walking distance. However, if you do not desire to be amongst the crazy crowds and partiers of South Beach, this hotel is welcoming. There’s also a Walgreens and a gas station up the street for needs such as soda and snacks.
The street the Vintro is on can look shady since it’s so quiet and you will see homeless people hanging around but coming from New York City (and being street smart) I felt pretty safe.
All in all I enjoyed my time here and I do plan on coming back to this hotel for another stay.

Very beautiful modern design of restaurant… Food was excellent (scallops, tartare, tuna, callamari…).
Bread was excellent… with excellent olives.
Excellent service…
Not overcrowded at all…
Why not 5 stars. Because it has to be a something EXTRAORDINARY.

Don’t let yourself judge a book by it’s cover. The building and the area looks a little shady, however the restaurant itself is a hidden gem.
The service was impecable, friendly and the staff was knowledgeable. The setting is also very nice, fit for foodies, couples, and families. Recommendations: The New York Strip, medium rare, calamari, grilled lamb and paellas! I heard there is an excellent brunch with a bloody mary bar and bottomless drinks on the weekends.

If you haven’t been to brunch here, you’re missing out on the best experience of your life. For $ 64 (and an additional $ 30 for bottomless drinks) you’ll get endless breakfast favorites along with a RAW BAR, local fruits and veggies, grilled lamb/​pork/​chicken/​corn and choices of mimosas, bloody marys, sangrias and wine. The endless paella is one of the best paellas I’ve had in a while… and one of my parents is Spanish.
The hotel is beautiful, too, decorated in tons of art and history.

4.5 STARS
Two nights of paradise at the Vintro Hotel in South Beach.
The Vintro is a unique boutique hotel two blocks off the main street in South Beach. It’s trendy, hip, modern, clean, and well thought out down to the last detail. Owned by a Venezuelan entrepreneur.
The personalized customer service is warm and welcoming, and they are able to give you a rundown of dining and nightlife options in the area. The Vintro has its own section of the beach (two blocks away) where you can use a chair or two.
Quick rundown: Free Wi-​fi, sexy pool lounge area (but small), free transportation around the area in a new Mercedes Sprinter type van, a Walgreens two blocks away, well-​stocked mini-​bar, Illy coffee machine in each room, lots of cable channels for you room zombies, and an excellent restaurant.
The only slight negative is the distance from all the action in South Beach. It’s a 7 – 10 minute walk to most action, including the expensive and swanky Delano Hotel (head there for some nightlife action, their bar «FDR» is excellent after midnight). So if it’s a quiet hotel you’re wanting, this place is perfect for you.
If you are staying in South Beach past check-​out of 12 noon, you can keep your luggage with them all day if you wish. I even got a ride around town the afternoon after I checked out.
Book your room here and you won’t regret it. A great place that I can’t wait to return to.
PS: Make sure you hit the Lincoln Road Mall

We enjoyed our stay here very much. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming from the moment you walk in the door. We received our complimentary champagne and were shown to our room. The room was very clean and had a high quality Samsung TV with HD DirecTV. This is definitely a hotel for adults as the shower has no doors and the person showering is clearly visible from the bedroom. Amenities are top notch, this is the only hotel I’ve stayed at that provides double ply toilet paper. One caveat is that they use a very strong perfume for the room that is extremely overpowering — noses beware.
There is a roof top lounge and pool area that is part of your resort fee. Had it not been for the extremely hot and humid weather, the roof top area would have been an excellent spot to relax.
There is also a free shuttle included in your resort fee but do not be fooled by the stated «10 mile» radius. They will only take you within Miami Beach between 1^st and 40^th Streets. If you’re staying for a cruise at the port, the shuttle will not take you despite the distance being only 6 miles.

Delicious! Everything we ate here was great, but it was a taddd pricey for what you get. I’d recommend the buratta, the brussels sprouts, and the cauliflower. All perfect. The hangar steak was delicious too — not chewy, and cooked perfectly — and the grilled octopus was fresh and flavorful.
Try to save room for dessert because the chocolate mousse with sea salt is phenomenal.
Our waiter was great — very attentive (and very cute!) — and everything came to the table quickly. He made recommendations and steered us away from one dessert telling us it just «wasn’t the best».
Drinks were fantastic and we got there before happy hour ended which made them far more affordable.
All in all a great evening.

I was pretty blown away by everything we had here. Yes, spendy. Yes, worth it. Top notch. I’ve been coming to South Beach for years, and finding restaurants that actually deliver based on the amount you have to spend is a challenge — there are so many tourist traps, and so many places masquerading as fine dining. The Kitchen at Vintro delivers all the way through. Service was totally pro, too. Italian-​inspired modern cuisine with flair. Highly, highly recommend.

Very nice ambiance food is very great, staff is on it!, thank you Jade! Love the selection and drinks. Chocolate sea salt dessert is amazing.
I will be back…
