I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ararat Restaurant in Sunny Isle, Florida, and oh boy, it was an absolute feast for the senses! 🎉 From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was transported to a world of culinary delights and warm hospitality. 🌟✨

The restaurant's ambiance was on point, with a ✨✨ magical blend of elegance and coziness that made me feel right at home. The dimmed lighting and soothing music created the perfect atmosphere for a night of indulgence. 🕯️🎶

I would give zero stars if I could. The worst experience in a Russian restaurant. Absolutely terrible service. I couldn’t believe how we were treated. In my entire life, I have never been treated like that by any establishment, especially here in Miami. We reserved a table Saturday night. We get there, 4 of us. We order some drinks and other minor items. Then the waitress tells us that if we are not planning on ordering hot food... as in meats... then we have to move to the bar. I told her we reserved a table and we weren’t going to move from the table to the bar just because we did not want to order meat. I told her we don’t eat meat. Then She says “You all can leave”. So We said okay, got up and left. The waitress snatched the food we ordered off the table and took it away, after we had already picked at it. The waitress said “Since your not ordering meat, please leave the table” Who says that? Over a piece of meat? Who kicks out 4 customers because they did not want to order meat? Very unprofessional. I will make sure to tell every single person I know how we were treated...and I know a lot of people, especially in the Russian community. EDIT REVIEW: First off, we reserved a table. Not a DINNER table. Secondly, the glasses were dirty so we asked for clean ones. We could have ordered when we felt like it. Your waitress didn’t need to stand there and harass us about ordering, which is exactly what we told her. The mojito‘s we ordered took over 30 minutes, never got them. Your staff said “If your not going to order meat, you can leave the restaurant” Exact words said to 4 people. We said “okay, then in that case you can have your fruits back” However, your staff and your restaurant did not get to ruin our night because we took our business to Old Samovar, where the waitstaff is professional and know how to treat customers. We had a wonderful night, not to worry. And from speaking with other people, I think your manager needs some customer...

We were true fans of Ararat near Orlando, FL, and were sad to see it go. I took my American coworkers for a taste of true Russian food and they had been asking for more Russian restaurants experience since then. We all were sad when Ararat closed their doors in Orlando. Upon visiting Sunny Isles with the family were made it our priority to visit Ararat Grill Bar. Getting there was a huge challenge as they were book every night we were there and after finally visiting them I see why.

I am very thankful for Ararat employees for letting us in even though we didn't have reservation and they were full. Because we tried to get in few nights in a row they went above and beyond to accommodate us by finding us a table. We were advised we will have to wait for our food longer than usual due to kitchen being super busy that day, so we were ready to wait while enjoying live singers, however our food came in relatively quick - fresh and hot and super tasty! In comparison to our experience at another restaurant on the same plaza earlier that week, where we were not advised on the wait time and restaurant was nearly empty, it took them 30 minutes to take our order and about 40 minutes to finally deliver all our food to the table, at Ararat the service was simply quick and amazing!

Our food was super tasty. Just perfect portion size! All servers did a phenomenal job staying on top of crazy busy dining room while remaining positive. They all were wearing face masks too. The singers were also pretty good - nice voices and not too loud - just perfect to enjoy our evening. I wish we could listen to them more (other songs as the day of our visit had unique repertoire we are not into) as they have beautiful voices.

After visiting Ararat it made perfect sense why they were always full while other "Russian" restaurants on the same plaza were not even half full during the week...
