Coral Reef Yacht Club — Restaurant in Miami

I was there just yesterday for mother's day. The food was great but it was a horrible experience at the beginning. I got to the guard gate and gave the person's name that was a member and had reserved​ the brunch. The guard at first acted like he couldnt hear me then looked on paper and told me there was nobody by that name and made me turn around while other cars were coming in. Finally another person in my party arrived and he magically found the name. Then when I went to park the guy told me I had to move my car closer to the car in front of me. I explained that I didn't want to get blocked in by whoever would be parking behind me. He said "no no, you have to we are going to have a lot of people here today" suffice it to say their customer service is greatly lacking. Won't be going back there ever again. I have never been a member myself but family members are members and I have been going there since I was in high school for various things. I guess things have changed...

Smells like teen spirit. The name of the boat was "Confusion." I won't name him because I don't have permission.

I have not been inside the gates since well before the Y2K ruckus and have never seen the big, sturdy, epic, new building that is on the right side, the one with the rooftop lounge where this event was held.

Kudos to management / ownership on maintaining the charm and personality of the place and finding the ideal spot to place needed infrastructure expansion.

Excellent...

We always come here for Orangebowl regatta event for our kids after Christmas. The restaurant is great and we received the best service in Miami. All staff are very attentive and friendly. And, the food was great. They had a pasta night when we were there. As a non member, we had to wait for quite a while to get a table as we cannot make a reservation. We loved the...
