Allison Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Miami Beach

SoulEdge: Bring Me to Life... Originally I was about to give this review 3 stars. Please read on.. I arrived in late afternoon. Inside the restaurant waiting for the server. The kitchen staff saying vulgar slangs in Spanish. Due to its freezing outside and since I'm hungry. I decided to stay. Inna my server (and the other female server) gave good service. I did tell her, that the area needed more lights and the bold lettering on menu is barely visible. Ordered Steak w/fries (option to switch a side) and Cheesecake. The turning point was. I noticed a female employee wearing a red business suit and another employee helped elder guests with table setting. Good gesture. Adding table lights & hearing music, nice touch. This visit dedicated to my German American ex girlfriend. She has a similar resemblance to Lagertha from a vikings tv show. Cue in the songs "The Show" by Niall Horan and "Hot" by Avril Lavigne....

Overall the games were fun that’s really true only upside to the visit. We show up at dinner time and there are ZERO customers. Actually zero customers the entire time we were there. RED FLAG. We ordered $5 tacos in hopes they would be at least tasty and filling. They were not filling. The $5 “fish tacos” literally had a French fry sized fish stick on it. That’s just embarrassing. They were not fish tacos at all they were frozen fish sticks thrown on a tortilla. Once we received the tacos the waitress never came back. We were starved so we decided to eat the food. Once the server finally returned we voiced our opinions of the food and she had the audacity to say “your plates say otherwise” well if you would have came back and checked on the only table in the restaurant maybe we could have told you there was a problem. In spite of the horrible food and service our son...

The people are nice but seem overworked and stretched thin.

The restaurant had nice decor.

We sat at an outdoor bar table for an hour without anybody cleaning the table from the last customers or taking our drink order. After an hour with no service, I walked to the bar, waited 10 more minutes and ordered a pina colada. The total was $21.93 which is expensive.

For breakfast, I ordered their $15 breakfast combo that says it comes with “a drink of my choice”. Under the section labeled drinks, I ordered a smoothie. When I received the bill, I was charged $15 for the breakfast and $12 for the smoothie. I had to speak to the manager to have the $12 removed. She told me that my meal only came with coffee or juice. They should change the menu to read “coffee or juice” instead of “a drink...
