Absolutely thrilled to share our unforgettable experience at the Surf Club, where I proposed to my fiancé, Emmy! If you're seeking an exceptional dining experience in Miami, look no further – the Surf Club should be at the top of your list.

From start to finish, the night was flawless. The food was, as always, a masterclass in classic, approachable dishes, executed to perfection. Every plate felt thoughtfully crafted, with flavors that lingered well after the meal. For us, the Surf Club has set the standard, and we've dined at numerous Michelin-starred spots – none have made us feel as welcomed and at ease. The warmth, hospitality, and genuine attention to detail from the entire team is unparalleled.

A special mention goes to Brandon, who played a big role in making the night even more memorable. Emmy and I had the pleasure of meeting him during our first visit to the Surf Club last year, and he left such an impression that we were genuinely excited to see him again. Brandon has this incredible way of making guests feel right at home, and as soon as he saw us, he recognized us and welcomed us back like old friends. It’s rare to meet someone so genuinely warm and thoughtful; he truly has a talent for making every visit feel personal and unforgettable. At the end of the night, he even sought us out in the lobby to congratulate us on the engagement, giving us both a hug and adding that personal touch that makes all the difference.

Guillaume, our server, was equally wonderful, helping me plan out each course with thoughtful recommendations and a perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. He didn’t try to upsell us – instead, he kept me from ordering too much, ensuring we had exactly what we needed for an amazing dinner.

The food was nothing short of spectacular. We started with must-orders: the chips and dip, deviled eggs, Caesar salad, and crudités – each dish a delight, with the Caesar’s tableside service being a highlight. The Bacon special was a delicious surprise, far exceeding expectations. For pasta, the black truffle Alfredo stole the show. Our mains, the Wellington for two and the steak for two, were impeccably prepared, with the short rib as a standout, delivering an explosion of flavor in every bite.

My heartfelt thanks to the entire Surf Club team for making our engagement night so magical. The warmth, the attention to detail, and the genuine care we experienced will stay with us forever. We can't wait to make this an annual tradition and bring a bit of Miami magic back to Ohio each year!
