Plnthouse — Restaurant in Miami Beach

We’re from Montreal—one of the coffee capitals of the world—so we know our coffee. And every time we visit plnthouse, it exceeds our expectations. The coffee is perfect, the quality is consistently top-notch, and the food is fantastic (gluten-free waffles—yes, please!). The ocean view is stunning, and the whole experience is always wonderful.

What truly makes plnthouse special, though, is the staff. Yadina, Francesca, Valentina, and Emma are warm, professional, and genuinely kind. Their energy makes you feel at home. Every time we fly in from cold, rainy Montreal, our first stop is here, to relax, breathe in the ocean breeze, and reconnect with these incredible ladies.

I’m honestly surprised the overall rating isn’t higher. Yes, the 21% service charge is steep, but that’s standard across Miami, especially in high-end hotels. And yes, prices are high, but this is 1 Hotel on South Beach, so that should be expected. You’re paying for the whole experience: the view, the ambiance, the quality, and the service. And in our experience, it’s worth it every time.

Thank you for helping make every trip so memorable. If you're in Miami and want the full package—great coffee, delicious food, and an unbeatable vibe—this...

The cracker to pâté ratio is off so I found myself eating a heaping spoonful of pâté with half a rice cracker. But the crackers have a hollow center, are light, not greasy and have a delicate crunch.

When I asked the right person for two extra crackers, happily, he promised to bring them without hesitation or hassle. Good sign.

The paté unlike its wet-mud-like texture is surprisingly yummy and a very good approximation of the taste of the real (animal) pâté.

The burger didn’t fall apart while biting and has an am-eating-center-of-a-bread-squeezed-into-a-doughy-ball texture. I like.

The salad next to it is an original combination of leaves with a good dressing. No complaints.

One came at the end of the meal to offer exchanging my glass of water for a cooler one. Again, another good sign.

Please don’t complain about prices. You are eating the healthiest food around, with one of the best views around with real well-balanced silverware, surrounded by lots of plants and lots of...

Don’t bother trying to eat here unless you are staying in the hotel. The ability to access the restaurant is almost impossible. It took me 20 minutes and asking three different people for help to figure it out. I had no idea it was located inside a hotel from the google listing of the restaurant - maybe the info could be found somewhere else but it would seem google would be a good place to list that. Someone who worked at the hotel had to use a key card to get me access to the third floor pool through the elevator, then I had to walk down a set of stairs to the second floor to get to the restaurant. So bizarre. Why even advertise the restaurant to anyone other than hotel guests? My zucchini noodles were fine but nothing worth going out of my way for. Same with my $15 cocktail. It was watery. I almost never drink alcohol and expected to feel a buzz yet felt nothing after...
