I want to start by saying that the shrimp and grits were absolutely delicious — honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, after that, the rest of the experience did not meet the standard I’ve come to expect from a Marcus Samuelsson restaurant. I’ve visited Hav & Mar three times already (and actually have reservations again this Thursday!), and I’ve also had a wonderful experience at Metropolis, even during a chef pop-up event where the service was still top tier. That’s why my Mother’s Day experience was especially disappointing. From the moment we called the restaurant an hour before our 5pm reservation, to the hostess abandoning the hostess stand to look for menus and when she arrived back, called another party to seat them ahead of us and when I made her aware of this she said oh, I forgot about y’all without even looking me in my eyes, this poor service lasted until the very end of the evening, there seemed to be issues every step of the way. We sent our fish back because the sauce at the bottom was freezing cold and my mom had to ask for S&P for her entree! When we asked to pack our food to go, we were handed plastic quart containers because the restaurant had somehow run out of standard takeout trays. It just felt very disorganized overall. I truly wanted this visit to live up to the experiences I’ve had at your other restaurants, but unfortunately this one missed the mark for me. For now, I’ll happily stick to the amazing food and hospitality of MS restaurants back home in NYC.

The ambiance of this place is really nice. Very chill welcoming vibe from the moment you walk in. The customer service from everyone in there was so great. Now for food. THAT OXTAIL AND GRITS WAS BUSSIN (Amazing). Meat was very tender and soft, grits were cooked just right. Mac n cheese flavor was great but was a bit too cheesy. French toast was ok just wish it was more sweet than tart. Cornbread was so soft and moist. Drinks were on point too. The Yes chef and the tipsy lemonade soooo good!!!. Went for brunch loved it, now want to come back for dinner.

Thought I would give the restaurant a second try at the Miami location and it was disappointing. Even my company was not pleased with the food and service. The host had an attitude when we asked to sit outside and was not friendly. Once we sat at the table the waitress kept passing by instead of greeting us and letting us know that they will with us momentarily. The waitress was nice but need to be more attentive to customers and show proper etiquette especially when your customers are waiting a long time to be served. I get that it's busy but a simple acknowledgement would have made a difference right away instead of feeling like we were being ignored. Not a good way to represent a company that is owned by a well known chef. The food was disappointing, we ordered a steak that was supposed to be cooked at medium and it was rare. We also ordered the fish was okay but it didn't have much flavor. I wouldn't return to this restaurant and wouldn't recommend, it needs major improvements.

I had the pleasure of dining at Red Rooster Overtown yesterday, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff set the tone for an exceptional meal. The standout of the evening was, which was prepared to perfection and full of flavor. Every bite showcased the restaurant’s dedication to high-quality ingredients and creative culinary techniques. What truly made the experience special was the food and service. The combination of flavor were delicious, lively ambiance, and excellent energy left a lasting impression. I would rate Red Rooster Overtown 5 Starts out of 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an incredible dining experience in the area!

First off this restaurant came highly recommended so I had to stop by. Came in for dinner and was wowed as soon as I walked in the door. The lady at the front was super nice and asked me if I had a reservation and when I said no, she said it didn’t matter and help me out right to a table. She recommended the yard bird with hot honey, and I had to have that. I also had the cornbread, which was amazing with the jam and the jalapeño butter. The collard greens and the mashed sweet potato were amazing also. Carlos helped me out and he was great and the manager even came over and she was really sweet and nice. The whole experience was amazing and definitely worth the extremely long trip that I took to come down here.
