Indeed you are a great and perfect manager for proving that binary and crypto investment is highly profitable. I made a deposit of $1500 and she traded on my account and behold I'm profit loaded, I'm so happy and I will always testify about her.. Thank you Mrs Shirley Wayne, Contact

We visited this place Saturday around 7pm. We stayed inside. AC and music were perfect. Someone came to the table right away - best service eveerr! Even the chef came to the table as well and explained all the dishes. Drinks and food were excellent and different. Cant wait to be back!

We’re here on vacations looking for a good restaurant in Wynwood and came across Totem. It was great the bartender Ashley was great! We had Laura as our server and was very friendly and attentive. The manager Melissa also came out to great us.

Came to Totem on a Saturday night for dinner in a small group of 4. We started our evening outside but were being eaten alive by mosquitoes - luckily the Totem team was able to relocate us indoors with ease. The restaurant is small, and the vibes are relaxed. Drink wise, I had a mule and it was refreshing, but nothing wild - I saw some elaborate cocktails on the yelp and insta pages, but even after ordering their Paloma and Spicy Passion cocktails, I did not get the wow factor. A table next to us did receive a cocktail with a lime on fire - so maybe we just did not order the entertainment cocktails... On to the food -- tried the shrimp starter and found the flavors to be fresh and tasty. I was not too much of a fan of the aioli and would probably ask for it on the side next time. I ordered the tacos as a main course. The duck taco was by far my fave. The shrimp taco was alright and the pineapple pork was their version of an al pastor taco. Others in the dinner party ordered the snapper, the asopado and the burger. I will say the snapper in the plantain leaf was the winner of the group. Overall Totem gives good vibes. Food and drink were ok, and I would be down to give them another try.

I came here to try out the food for an event and was a little disappointed. The service was polite and attentive. I couldn't quite wrap my head around what was going on with drinks though, something involving liquor licensing but that was alright, it was a hot day and water was fine. The appetizer was DELICIOUS. ALL IN ALL, 5/5 and it left me wanting more which is always a good thing. However, the passion fruit ceviche was the disappointment for me. The presentation of the platter was beautiful, but the flavors and taste were not. It was Too much. It was hard to eat nonetheless swallow. After trying the ceviche, I didn't want to move on to the main courses. I don't mean to harp on a single dish, but I don't know if it was the passion fruit or what, but was so acidic there were virtually no other flavors left to taste and an unflattering experience. The restaurant seems nice but I think the passion fruit ceviche does not do them great service. As a ceviche aficionado, I think it should be removed from the menu or something.

I discovered this trendy spot from Yelp as I came to try out some of their dishes. I ended up returning a week later for more of the phenomenal lychee martinis they serve. From the moment you pull up, you'll notice how chic the decor is making every moment an instaworthy capture. Not only is the service amazing but the quality of their dishes along with the presentation is certainly noteworthy. Everything here is made with intent. They don't skimp out on a single detail which is why I returned. The chef and his wife have a culinary background properly equipping them with a constant stream of innovative ideas to bring their recipes to life. They mix experimentation with innovation to bring together that touch of panache that this neighborhood was looking for. The arepa tower featuring an aesthetically pleasing tower of different flavors ranging from squid ink to beets certainly was the highlight of my tasting tour here. Although the Crispy Shrimp appetizer delivered way more flavor than I was anticipating. Every crunchy bite glazed in sauce reminded me why I chose this place above all the other options in the area. Whether you're seated indoors or outside on the patio, this is a solid choice to replenish your food and alcohol levels while flexin for the gram.

This lovely little restaurant is a few blocks off the main Wynwood drag and is a welcome respite from its somewhat frenetic pace. The decor seems very social media friendly (at least, social media mindful), with faux floral wreaths festooning the columns and ceiling, and a full wall with a colorful floral assortment as a backdrop to one row of banquettes. The food is Latin inflected but with a new American spin. We especially enjoyed the short rib "burger," which was mouthwatering (and a great idea -- I've never seen any place use braised short rib in a sandwich like this before). The taco assortment also offered a good variety of flavors, with the duck being the standout choice.

Eating here was delicious. The attention and environment were great too. I have had normal dinners, attended parties and listened to live music there, the place is pretty cool!

Chef Leal is an outstanding cook. Creative and at the same time humble and looking for feedback in order to improve . He is at the top of his profession, maybe among the top 3 in Miami Service was excellent ñand price as well

Discovered this gem trying to find hookah for our friend. Ask for Frank & Ashley they were amazing!! The vibes are very laid back definitely a nice spot to catch up with friends because the music is at a minimum so you’re not screaming over each other to get your words across. Highly recommend their “shooters” which are mixed shots. Our visit only consisted of drinks so we definitely have to come back and try their food. & if you plan on relaxing for some time make sure y’all grab a seat on them couches you will literally melt into them and enjoy the energy.

A must if you’re in Miami! From beginning to end, the service and crew were very welcoming to our large group. The vibes are nice and chill and food was amazing! Ashley the bartender was the bomb!!! Our server Laura was so sweet and didn’t miss a beat with our orders. The manager Melissa was very friendly! I’d rate more than 5 stars if I could!
