Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Not crazy about this place AT ALL. I went with several of married friends to enjoy what was suppose to be a special night. We were all looking forward to the "great service and food". Unfortunately we were disappointed due to all the hype this place was made out to be. Very pricey for the amount of food. It took us 45min to get our car back from valet. Let's say we won't be returning. Oh! And God forbid you share your plate with your spouse. You'll have to pay extra for sharing. Um... No.

We went for bridal shower - big group of girls. Their service was great! Food was great!

Amazing experience. Excellent food. Prime location. Can't say enough good things about this restaurant. If you are looking for a nice restaurant in the Brickell area on the water, then this is the place for you! Great for a date night, to celebrate birthdays, or just a fun night out on the town. Menu prices are affordable and I love that for the price you pay, you get an appetizer and entrée. If the weather is nice make sure to ask for a table on the terrace.
(5)Bridget M.
Not happy. They won't let a party over 10 sit together. They separate the tables and what's the fun of going out with people to have that happen? Then, bc you're a group they force you to order the same appetizers and share. The regular menu you'd get an app with every entree. You cannot share without a $10 fee You cannot only order an appetizer The appetizers were better than the entrees. Small portionsa and all around not worth it. Entree start at $18.99. It was nice they provided blankets on the windy, chilly night the heaters were not providing much heat at all. No one in my large party was impressed and I'd never return.

Just had an excellent family night event , planned with their event coordinator Alejandra , the set up was great , as well as the food and service , special thanks to Andres , the rest of the staff and Manager for their attention to details and making us feel at home , great ambiance , music and views of the bay.

What a stellar find! Located adjacent to the Mark Hotel, this restaurant works to serve a premier cuisine while creating a vibrant, Bayside atmosphere. The location here really seals the deal: sat outside with my family on the patio with a terrific waterfront view. The selection for vegetarians was rather lacking... But for meat eaters, we enjoyed a fabulous pesto chicken dish and a spaghetti complemented with crunchy bacon bits. The Rioja wine from Spain was out of this world! Interesting sharing policy: $10 fee to share. So, just order an extra appetizer instead.

We had a great experience at Crazy about you. We celebrated our anniversary and Yuri, our server, couldn't make it even more special! We got a glass of champagne on the house, and we really enjoyed the food...the churrasco and the Ahi Tuna were delicious! To end the night, our server made our dessert special with a happy anniversary treat!! And the view is to die for...we got a beautiful full moon over the bay! We definitely recommend this place and we will be back :)
(5)Jacinta H.
Let me start out by say this is a beautiful restaurant. I wanted to throw a small surprise for my sister here. Me and my friends called and made to reservations for the party Outside. There employee agreed and made the reservations for 1130 outside etc . We arrive as a small group they they couldn't seat us until the entire party was here and no such reservations were made for outside. After a while of going back and fourth with the manger and telling him I'll write a review with YELP he sat us Outside and it turned out beautifully. Thanks yelp Lls

I have been to crazy about you a couple time and have to say that i'm never dissapointed but I also am never overly satisfied. The main thing this restaurant has is the view. The food is just average and portions are small for the price but if you get a table with a view I guess it's worth it to some extent. Last time I went wait was an hour and a half for two people but to give them the benefit of the doubt it was a Saturday night. Since we were gonna have to wait so long we decided to have some drinks at the bar outside over looking the water and honestly that experience was the best part. Nice restaurant for a romantic date but i'd much rather go to another reastaurant where the food not just the view meets my expecations.
(3)Adele R.
Great spot. I recommend eating outside by the sea to enjoy the view. I enjoyed the service, the manager literally sat with us and helped us order. He gave great tips and was very interactive with us. He was very patient and welcoming. Now let's get to the food! The food is amazing. Calamari appetizer !!! Also they were very sweet and they brought our friend free sangria and free dessert. Just a great place!
(5)Mary N.
Hands down my favorite date place in Miami! Everything about it. First things first, the place itself is unbelievable. You walk in and the ambience is perfect: Very romantic/fun lounge-y music, dim lights, awesome cocktails. The inside decor is beautiful and even though outside seating is first come, first serve, they have a cool bar area where you can sip on a cocktail and eat some popcorn until your table is ready. They also have a bar outside looking over the bay. That view though........ESPECTACULAR. You won't regret waiting for a table outside. Food is incredible. Every Entree comes with an appetizer of your choice (AWESOME!). The Calamari Flatbread is delicious! And don't forget to get the house wine. It's only $15 and honestly a great bang for your buck. This place always makes the perfect date night. I'm crazy about "Crazy About You".

I was here for the first time about 2 weeks ago. It's hard to find parking around the area, plus if you do you have a few blocks to walk, so you're better of doing valet parking (which is $20). Location: this restaurant has an amazing view and they offer outside seating. Service: service is excellent, everyone is very attentive and always making sure everything is ok. Food: I ABSOLUTELY love their food. Everything is good and the prices aren't bad at all. In my opinion the prices are cheap for the quality and the location of this restaurant. I think it's about $25 per person, which includes an appetizer and an entree. Dessert was really good as well. Drinks: the alcoholic drinks are HORRIBLE here, I ordered two drinks from their menu and both were really bad, I didn't drink them at all. The FREE WATER they give you it's pretty good tho, I don't think it's tap water but if it is then it's a pretty damn good tap water lol.
(4)Stephanie M.
You ever eaten food so good you think there's a special name for it? That was crazy about you. Every entree choice includes a free appetizer choice so I recommend going with a group. The portion sizes were plenty to share. Service was excellent and even though we didn't sit on the water our table and the restarant had great ambience. I would recommend this for any special occasion or just an incredible date night.
(5)Arlyn G.
Went for a birthday party and we had an area that was reserved. Service was fantastic! We had a sampler appetizer (ham croquettes, calamari flat bread, spring roll) everything was so delicious! For the entrée we had churrasco with mash potatoes, gnocchi and a vegetable plate. Everything was delicious. But by far the best was the chocolate flan. That alone is a reason to go again.
(4)flavia m.
Good food nice place with a beautiful view but outside people smoking next to you while you are eating....
(2)Wicho R.
Very nice restaurant in a very upscale location, good prices and close to a bay with pretty nice views...food is really good, the only catch is that in my opinion the menu doesn't have a lot of variety
(4)Lorena G.
The view is beautiful. However the Margherita pizza was very salty. The gnocchi was delicious. The waiter didn't even take the time to introduce himself. He didn't explain or made suggestions in the menu. I noticed other waiters take the time to interact with the guests. He just had a horrible attitude. He never checked back on us, we had to flag him often for him to come to us.
(3)Alfredo D.
Impeccable service, the food wasn't up to par with the prices. But they make it up with the treatment, which is close to royal.
(3)Carolina G.
My boyfriend decided to bring me here for lunch. We ate on the terrace as it was a beautiful day. He insisted we have the croquettes as appetizers however they were all out that day. I had a salad and some calamari which was delish. I ordered the sliders and he had the salmon. The food was yummy and the staff was attentive. The view was also very romantic and lovely. They were smoker friendly and the service was great. Great for a lunch date
(4)Ali G.
So this is my third time coming to crazy about you and it never gets old ! The atmosphere and view at this place is great! We made reservations for 6:30pm which was great, still light outside buy dim. They have outdoor sitting and indoor sitting, I highly recommend sitting outdoors unless your not too big on the wind. It's pretty windy out there but then again your right next to the water. Their menu is a little different then most places, when you chose and entree the appetizer comes included. Meaning you can Choose whatever appetizer you want and it's technically free. This place is not expensive my boyfriend got the veal churrasco for and entree and the chihuahua cheese for appetizer. I got the steak and the croquettes (they are by far the best croquettes you can eat). The bill was $54 not bad at all. Service is great! The waitress was very friendly and helpful with the menu. She recommended great food and was always checking on us to make sure we didn't need any more refills or drinks. Overall I would highly recommend this restaurant to people. Great view, great location and great food. All you need is friends to share it with !
(5)Kelsey S.
Absolutely love this restaurant! Great location with awesome views of Brickell and the bay. Exceptional service, with great energy throughout the restaurant. Many parties celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and even engagements. My favorite part is that each entree comes with an appetizer included in the price. Deserts are appropriately portioned. Highly recommend for a date night or any occasion.
(4)Lauren C.
Our waiter Yuri was amazing!! Very attentive and professional. food was delicious and arrived quickly. Would def come back!!
(5)Tess O.
This restaurant really blew me away! I'd made reservations for 830pm on Halloween night to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We were seated immediately upon arrival and greeted at our table by a sweet, French server with a smile and a delicious arrangement of pita bread and dip. The menu includes 3 different price ranges for entrees: 17$, 21$, and 24$, and they all include an appetizer of your choice as well. I ordered the Gnocchi with Shrimp as my entree with the Calamari Pepperocini flat bread as my appetizer, and my boyfriend ordered the Eggs/potato/mushroom appetizer with Kobe mini burgers with shoe lace fries as his entree. Both were off the 21.99$ section. The flatbread was so delicious, I'd come back JUST for that. In fact, id come back just for anything we ordered that night! The gnocchi was definitely the best I've EVER had. We also had a bottle of the house Chardonnay, which was only $14! Then, just as we were waiting for the dessert wheel to come on by, our waiter surprised my boyfriend with the most original birthday dessert I've ever seen. Strawberries over ice cream over what seemed to be pie crust, with a cake DRAWN on the plate with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. Our bill came out to 62$. You really can't beat that price! They were so kind, they didn't even charge us for the dessert. Needless to say, our waiter got a pretty nice tip. Overall, is rate this place a 5/5. It is EASILY one of my new, favorite restaurants. Could not have asked for a better time.
(5)Josette S.
This was my first time there. Overall, I really liked the place. The ambiance is fantastic and it is just a comfortable atmosphere. We ordered the seabass and filet mingon for main courses. Both plates were delicious, especially the sea bass. Each entree comes with an appetizer which we had the calamari flatbread which was excellent and the chihuahua cheese casserole. For dessert american churros and happy endings. Everything we ordered was delicious. The only thing I would say was a down fall was the service. Our server was nice when he was there, but took forever to bring us our drinks or to check up on us. Overall not a bad experience. I would definitely come back more for the lounge happy hour outing rather than a full meal service.:)
(4)Blue A.
The food is decent and the service is as spotty as Metro PCS reception - but you come here for the view. Seriously, the view alone gets it by, what a great location. But request to sit outside so you can enjoy the boats cruising by and the gorgeous view of the bay. This is the part of Miami people see on TV and flock here to vacation for, so take it in - you live where people vacation. I've come to Crazy About You twice now - once for dinner and once for drinks/apps. Happy hour is the way to go - they do 1/2 priced apps! Plus, $1 glasses of champagne for women when they order an app. Not bad! I had a beer, while my co-workers sipped on bubbly and another one had a rum cocktail. PURE. MIAMI. LIVING. Sipping away at a work meeting while yachts blaring house music cruised by (it was WMC week). The food has never blown me away but for half priced apps we got a bunch to try and they were all good. The best ones were the croquettas - get these! Then, get a second order of them! When I went for dinner we sat inside. It was nicely lit, the food was decent and the service was once again spotty. Nice spot for a date night though. I believe they have changed the menu since we went, so we might come back to try the new options.
(4)Mike T.
First time going here and it was a great experience. The atmosphere was awesome! The drinks the food the service all five stars will definitely be going back!
(5)Kelly C.
came here with a friend because of the awesome deal that every entree comes with an appetizer - and the view of the water is gorgeous! service, though friendly, was a bit slow. the spinach and quinoa salad as an app (queso fresco, avocado, strawberries & toasted sesame dressing) was to DIE for. i could have a bigger version with chicken and been the happiest person alive. next, i had the burger sliders (kobe beef mini burgers w/ shoestring fries) which were quite yummy, but quite small. normally i expect a slider entree to be 3 or 4 or sometimes even 5 burgers, but there were only two. i was sadly hungry less than an hour later! loved the ambience, and the rest of the menu (+ the drink specials) were awesome, but i was sad that the entree was more like an appetizer than a full entree.

Just this past weekend I celebrated my birthday at Crazy About You. I made reservations for a total of 17 people and was assigned the semi private area (VIP Room) where everything came out beautifully. I was in contact with Alejandra whom always provided me with information when requested. The staff assisting me set the table were very helpful. The food options I selected for a prefix menu were as follows: Appetizers- Fried Calamari and Chihuahua Cheese Casserole Entree: BBQ Baby Back Ribs with Roasted Potatoes Wedges Dessert- Chocolate Flan all my guests loved the food! I based it off things I had tried before and it was all finger licking good
(5)Neha M.
I had a big party dinner here and it turned about extremely well. They were very good in helping us select a set menu and reserving our tables and time. The food was incredible and they serve a variety. The view is definitely what sells this place, as it is right on the water. There is a bar outside that you can drink at and if you can, sit outside (if weather permits). When you're done, it's nice to take a walk along the water. The staff was very helpful and if anything isn't to your liking, they are very quick to fix it.
(5)Carolina V.
We had our rehearsal dinner at Crazy About You last week. The food was excellent and the service was superb. I would highly recommend this restaurant for similar events.
(5)Tony L.
Great experience. When we got there was a few problem with the seating but the manager Carlos quickly made it all right. Love the food, décor, and over all visit! look forward to visiting again.
(5)Beatriz A.
Let me start off by saying this place is only good for the view outside... nothing else. My boyfriend surprised me by taking me here for my birthday and I was impressed by how beautiful the view was. The restaurant inside is also very impressing. But the food..horrible. I had a starter salad and it was so bad I couldn't eat t! Then I had a pasta that was utterly disgusting.. It wasn't real pasta it was celery into a pasta form. I had one bite and told the waiter I did not want it. I get the burger slides instead and they had a weird taste to them. So I didn't eat much. My boyfriend had the veil churrasco and he did not like it either. The waiter charged him for the meal I did not even eat!!! We noticed once we were in the car already. Just ridiculous! I would not want to come here again!
(1)Chanelis O.
I loved this place!! The ambience its so dim and romantic. The view is gorgeous, both the ocean and the city. The waiter was excellent, she gave us advice as to what its really good/most ordered on the menu. The calamaris & the croquette are delicious!! Definitely the place for a special night!
(5)Brent C.
The only thing this place had going was the view. Some friends recommend the place so we gave it a try. It started with the girls at the front being rude about what table we could have outside. From there our waiter nice guy recommend the two worst dishes on the menu, don't do the chicken and spinach. It Tastes Like grilled Cardboard. There was a fan blowing things off of our table that they refused to turn off. Took 25 mins to get the check. There are much better options in miami
(2)Brandon W.
Not a fan of the way their menu works...you must order an appetizer, then entree, you're charged regardless and they hit you with a sharing fee if you decide to share. The location overlooking the bay/channel is sweet and the food is acceptable but nothing special. Service, as usual in the area...slow.
(3)EliMelinda M.
We came here on a double date night for dinner. The atmosphere is great, highly recommend sitting outside the view is gorgeous! We loved the bottle house wine special price. We tried the Pinot Grigio which was good, nothing outstanding but a good wine for the price be paid. Now onto the food ;) the calamari flatbread is highly recommended, it's a unique twist & very flavorful! The antipasto apt was average, I wouldn't order that again. For entrees we tried the Kobe sliders & rigatoni with sausage. Both were good, the food was flavorful but it wasn't really a "wow" meal if you know what I mean. I think the place has a great ambiance for drinks/appetizers.
(3)Carolina S.
I find this place to be a romantic spot. I love the dim lighting and the lit candles. Its right by the water which adds to the romantic ambience. I would request a table outside as long as its not too humid or hot of course. I'm very picky about my alcoholic drinks but there cocktails are delicious. I've been here twice and wasnt too impressed with their food. I've tried: Serrano ham croquettes (thought it was too greasy) Calamari al Perreroncini Flatbread (delicious) I Can't Believe it's not Pasta Carbonara with Chicken (waiter suggested but I wasnt crazy about it) Kobe Beef Mini Burgers (delicious) Although not crazy about their food I will go again and try something else.
(4)Claudia J.
Great ambiance, place is packed!! We had a reservation for 9:45pm.... very late. But it was the only one available. Once you enter, there is a lobby area/bar - it's nice since it's nice when you are waiting for the rest of the party to get there. Plus the bar is also there. Very particular decor, nice! We got seated at 9:45pm, round table, perfect! I love round tables... your'e not stuck to only talking to 3 people.... the ones next to you and the one in front of you. Crazy about you has an interesting concept. First, choose from the 3 different prices. Second, order the main course. Third, you order the appetizer. I ordered the veal churrasco that tasted more like like a churrasco. It did not taste like veal, impressively tender!!! Flavor was very good. We were a large group so we ordered a variety of appetizers so we could try from our orders. All appetizers were great!! Kudos to the croquets, calamari, eggs, and surprisingly good the Caesar Salad. You would not think that the Caesar Salad would be good, it was great! The lettuce was chilled!! and pretty good flavor, not very heavy on the taste. Would definitely recommend this place for future outings. We sat inside, the outside view must be great!!!.... if you make a reservation, try sitting outside for the view!
(3)Mike S.
If you have a corporate meeting, have an account to take out or need a date night, look no further. This place brings a Latin/Cuban vibe and ingredient influence, tied into American and Italian Food. The dessert is out of this world.
(5)Christina S.
Beautiful view and amazing service. Had the chicken with artichoke and spinach for dinner, and the calamari as an appetizer, and they were both delicious! I really liked how each dinner plate came with its own appetizer. Had the message in a bottle for dessert and it was AMAZING. Also had a bottle of the house wine which was only $15 and pretty good as well. Definitely going back.
(4)Jessica D.
Okay Yelpers so the first time I went here I didn't not like it I felt the food was, and I quote myself "blah", but then I tried it again and I'm glad I did. The second time I ordered something completely different that I have never ordered anywhere else EVER! See I'm a huge meat ratter and will always order some type of cut because you can't go wrong but this time I ordered the blackened mahi mahi and holy fish! It was thee bomb! That was my first time ever trying something out of my comfort zone and it did not disappoint! I'll go back just for that fish! So I'm giving them an updated review and one more star because of that mahi. Second chances do make a difference!
(3)Javier A.
Excellent service... Food really really good and the price very fair! Breath taking views outside, worth the wait for a table outside! Will definitely come back again!!
(5)Katie V.
Had a baby shower with about 65 guests on a Saturday Afternoon -Food was great! The gnocchi was the talk of the party. -Service was awesome, no one had an empty cup at anytime during 3 1/2 hours. -The view is why I chose this restaurant to begin with I would definitely recommend for any hosted event and general outing.
(5)Yanessa E.
They have one of the best outdoor dining areas. Waterfront dining with the nice ocean breeze and good food? I'm there! I don't know why I had not yet reviewed them. It has the same menu concept as it's sister restaurants, you choose an appetizer and then select an entree from three set prices. A must every time from their appetizer section is their Serrano croquetas, they are deliciously creamy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Their calamari flatbread is also delicious, as is the chihuahua cheese. For entree I went with the Braised Steak Brasatto: Mushroom and Marsala Wine Reduction, Creamy Garbanzo Stew, Topped with a Fried Egg. The meat was super tender and the fried egg was a great addition to the dish, the yolk was nice and runny like I love. Drinks here are also great. If you're looking for a nice place to eat around Brickell and enjoy the ocean, try them out, ask for an outside table!
(4)Gin N.
The food is perfect, the service is just horrible . No one came to ask if we need anything, if the food was good, they didn't even offer a glass of water .
(2)Nicole F.
The occasion; I had a business lunch on June 3 2015; I was excited at the prospect of trying out a new restaurant. The location was excellent and the décor was beautiful, I was ready to try the food. We were three (3) and decided to sit outside because of the water views. The service; the waiter came to our table (didn't introduce himself) and asked for what we would like to drink. When we told him what we would like to drink, he walked away looking upset. He brought the drinks and took our order; we ordered some appetizers and the main course at once. The service was quick; another waiter brought the appetizers and the main dishes. He was equally horrible and looked very uncomfortable, so much so that we were concerned about our clothes or hair. We were regularly dressed, business attire. The food; you would think in a beautiful location like this, the quality of the food would be top notch. Guess again, the food was horrible the prosciutto was very low quality -they probably got a discount from Price Market before it went bad. We barely touched the food, the waiter noticed that we didn't eat the food and then came along the manager who asked if everything was good and we said it's okay. It's "okay" is code for the food is bad and that's the reason why we didn't eat it. To make matters worse he still charged us full price for the meal that we barely touched. Conclusion; I will never go there again and I will tell all my friends and all the people I know not to go there. There are so many restaurants in Miami that are worthwhile. This has been a terrible experience and I don't want anyone else to go through this.
(1)Scarlett P.
Excellent Service ! Loved the food ! The antipasto platter my favorite and the Eggs Benedict for Brunch are excellent.
(5)Julie A.
Oh what a beautiful view this place has! The best time to go is sunset time. Absolutely gorgeous! Perfect for a romantic dinner, first date, or a birthday celebration with your lovely one. Now about the place itself. It was our third visit, and I have to say that it gets only better every time we go. Servers are very professional, sharp looking/acting, fast and nice. We always try different things. Tonight we got the mushroom risotto, and omg... It is my favorite now! Though the cod croquettes were just ok, nothing special. Last time we had a mozzarella pizza and we loved it. As a healthy choice they have this zucchini noodles, and it's really reeeealy good! I suggest to make a reservation before you go, because this place is always packed. No wonder why! ;)
(5)Jessica H.
Atmosphere is the only thing keeping this place on the map. The view is great, they have blankets on all the chairs outside incase it's chilly or breezy-which was probably my favorite part. My filet was atop cold potatoes and covered in a brown gravy...any chef putting out a quality filet would not cover it in a brown gravy. Their dessert choices are unimpressive- I have such a sweet tooth and am SO easy to please when it comes to desserts but I left without any this evening.
(1)Chantelle M.
I'm very surprised by some of the reviews here. Only 1 star?! Anyways! I came here recent as I was treated to a dinner date (oh la laa~) here. We had reservations for a 10pm dinner and we waited 10 minutes at most before we were sat. We had outdoor seating by the water and it was very, very nice. Maybe don't opt to sit outside on those crazy windy Miami nights haha. Anyways, the menu is semi-pre fixed but not really. It's a small but concise menu. You have 3 columns to choose from: $17, $21 and $24 dinner entree options. And each option comes with a appetizer, so it's not too bad! I got the Spinach & Quinoa salad with goat cheese, strawberries and avocado.. ... My mouth is still watering. I finished the WHOLE bowl, it was SO good. I've been craving this salad since. Weird, right? Anyways, from looking around, I honestly don't think you can go wrong. EVERYTHING was so good! Stick with your instincts, listen to your tummy for once and enjoy the food! And while you're here, grab a bottle of wine! It's only $15, so why not?!
(5)Valerie G.
Excellent choice for birthday dinners. We took our friend Sophie for her birthday, our table was 10+ ppl and still service was excellent. They brought out the entrees pretty quickly and food was delicious. I had a Spinach and Quinoa Salad as appetizer and a Fusilli alla Vodka with Salmon...So Good I ate it too quickly and didn't take photos for my yelp review! =/ Place was pretty packed on Friday night, make reservations ahead of time.
(5)Melissa S.
Made reservations for a Friday night for a birthday celebration (specifically mentioned) and preferred outdoor seating. Upon arrival, we waited in a greatly decorated mini bar with 1/2 off delicious cocktails until 7PM. I checked in with the hostess THREE times before I was seated (an hour later). The wait was forgiven with a complimentary bottle of wine and accommodating service. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Views were lovely (even though the planned sunset view was missed due to later seating) and decor is awesome. Whoever took reservations completely forgot about the birthday, hence the additional loss of star. Won't return, but will recommend to others due to atmosphere and food.
(3)Brian C.
I had dinner here the other night with a friend who is in Miami for the first time and we both really enjoyed it. I live in the building and had tried to come here before without a reservation on a Friday night and the wait was 2.5 hours. So this time I made a reservation. We sat outside (something you can't reserve ahead of time with your reservation) and the view was incredible. The tables were a little close together and we had a very small table for 2 people. It was especially cramped since I brought my dog with me which they allowed, but you could tell it is not the kind of place most people bring their dog to. The food was amazing. They have a varying menu of meat and seafood dishes. Everything looked amazing. Pricing was somewhat reasonable. They have dishes ranging from about $20 - $26 and that includes 1 appetizer. When it was time for desert my friend and I were too full so we said we would pass, but the waitress brought out a special concoction anyway, complete with a "Welcome to Miami" writing in chocolate sauce on the plate. It was a great touch. Overall loved this place. Great place for a date that is not too expensive but will still impress. Will definitely be going back here.

Great view, delicious food and great ambience! Serrano ham crockets and Tuna Tataky tacos are a must.

Ok, let's jump right in, here's the good (5 start) and later I will show why I removed 1 star from my rating. The good: - Great location, waterfront, nice view of the bay and Brickell Key Island - Nice Outdoor seating, but watch out for those extremely windy Miami nights - The menu is simple but effective, all entrees come with an appetizer - Most dishes lean towards the exotic side, but this is good, everything was excellent and different - Service was a bit slow, but I had the clear impression our waiter was a newbie, since he didn't know much about the menu and drink options, but he tried hard to make things work - The wibe of the place is great, fun and energetic Now the not so good: - Main dishes are a bit small, but paired with the appetizer it makes for a good portion. And deserts are cheap, get one of their nice concoctions if you still feel hungry - As mentioned, our waiter seemed inexperienced in customer service. Example: my companion did not like the appetizer she ordered, and did not eat it, and when the waiter asked her about it she said she didn't like it.. Instead of offering something else he just said "oh I'm sorry", took the plate and walked away. Wow!! Now here's why I knocked one star of the rating: - Why do some hostesses seem to be at a funeral instead of a happy place? I had reservations, arrived on time, and the two hostesses greeted my with just a grumpy faced "Hi". For our entire stay I did not see a single smile, or an energetic "Welcome dear beloved customer" stuttering out of their mouths. Look, if you hate this job please QUIT, there are other beautiful and sexy Miamians that would fight piranhas in the Amazon river to work as a hostess at this place. And that's not all, I requested to sit outside and got a table, waited for about 15 minutes without any waiter showing up to get our orders, but then it started to rain, so I went inside and asked if we could sit inside, since we didn't even start ordering yet. The hostess looked at me with a face straight out of SAW 3, she was (mentally) ripping my guts out, and offering my still beating heart to the dogs. After a long sigh, and taps on her terminal, she got us a table (yeahhh the devil has a soul, wet customers are never good). Anyway, besides the funeral themed reception, everything else was good or great, so I definitively recommend this place. Cheers!!!

One of the worse experience we had. We went to eat last friday the view was fantastic the food was incredible unfortunately the service was pretty bad. It took a while to get the menus even longer to get our food. The waiter didn't pay attention or came around the table to ask how the food was it or if we need anything else not even offer desert. We were very disappointed. I dont think we're going there again or recommend to our friend.

When we walked in the wait was a little long, but we sat at the lounge area and had an appetizer prior to sitting down. Drinks and calamari [absolutely amazing] might I add . About an hour later we got our table looking over the south beach skyline. Gorge!!! Waitress was awesome food was very tasty! Everything we tried tasted great and full of flavor. House wine was good especially for a 15$ A bottle wine. It was great. The view alone is completely worth the dinner . Every entree includes an appetizer so don't get too full!

This restaurant is perfect to go with your significant other, or perhaps when you're escaping your significant other for a night out for dinner and drinks with the girls! ;-) The ambience is dim-lit and sexy and I personally love restaurants with that sensual decor! Makes for a great excuse to get all dolled up! I feel as though this restaurant looks more expensive than it actually is! You can dress all fancy shmancy without burning a hole through your wallet. The food isn't half bad either, id recommend the croquettes, kobe beef burgers, tuna burger... try anything! Also, they have $14 house wine bottles- can't beat that! Although, sometimes their pita from their hummus and pita is a bit stale or their plates aren't anything out of the ordinary, they're still good. Id recommend getting a table in the outside patio. The view and breeze is great, you'll thank me later! 'Crazy About You' is sister restaurants with 'Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita', which Ive only gone to for drinks and was super crowded and 'Love Is Blind' which I am looking forward to trying out!

I have been to this one several times. Love the menu format!!! The restaurant is real nice. Modern and elegant décor with spacious main space and real nice outdoor area overlooking the bay. So about that menu format, you basically have three columns to choose from. The $17.99, $21.99 or $25.99 columns. I believe now they have added a fourth column for like $33. You basically choose what you want to pay and within those price ranges you get any appetizer you want and an entrée from the column you have chosen. All menus are online. We began with a rice chip... their version of bread. They should have given us bread. As for the food, I have had pretty much all of their appetizers. My favorite is the Mediterranean Antipasto which is a plank with French Brie, Spanish Chorizo and Italian Mortadella as well as the Spinach and Quinoa Salad which has Avocado and Strawberries. For the entrees, they have some good ones. Some of my favorites are the Chilean Sea Bass and the best in show, the lobster and shrimp cannelloni. This one is just perfect although I am told they no longer have it. The Burger and the shortrib are also excellent. As for wine, they don't have a good selection. The wine list is small and has mostly Argentienan and Spanish wines. At least the prices are ok since the wines themselves don't retail for much. I usually get the Marques de Caceres for some $58... it retails for about half of that.

Amazing service, fit a large bachelorette party and truly care that you enjoy your experience. Zucchini pasta was awesome, the bar and outside seating out back looked really nice even though we ate at a large table inside. It's definitely hard to find if you don't know it's in The Mark building and it's a little off the beaten path but we really enjoyed our dinner!
(4)Marianita P.
Best view for dinner at night. Very busy restaurant definitely recommend making a reservation but arrive promptly as the outside sitting is on a first come first serve basis. Appetizers are included on the price of your entrée which is a great thing when you what a different appetizer than you company. I went for the quinoa salad, it was delicious, as an entrée I highly recommend the "I can't believe it's not pasta" very fresh!
(4)Mario M.
Delicious food! Great view! Great prices! The bar is cozy as the music! Gigi the waitress was great as well! One word: great!!!
(4)Luis G.
Was a great place but with reservation I had to wait more than 1 hour was terrible I almost gone
(1)Brett P.
Very happy with this lunch find walking distance from office locations. Somewhat unassuming in curbside appeal, it delivers once out on their patio overlooking the bay. The multilevel views were spectacular and venue defining. It was just disappointing the restaurant lacks an entrance that is equal to the dining setting. We had the Tres Tuna Tacos and the pepperoni pizza. The crust on the pizza was amazingly light, and the pizza was not too greasy as pepperoni can tend to be. The tacos were fantastic, with flour the choice of tortilla but featuring large chunks of slightly over-cooked tuna pieces. The amount of tuna in the tacos was very impressive. Perhaps the hidden jewel of the menu was the $15 bottle of house wine. Given the views, ocean breeze, northern Italy inspired cuisine, it almost made you overlook the extremely creepy oversized gummy bears adorning the restaurant's perimeter.

We went there for my husband's birthday. First, I made a reservation surprise for my husband a week ahead of time so I don't create any confusion and don't go through hustle. I invited important people from his job and as soon as they got there they were very badly welcomed. They were not allowed to bring in their gift because it was a little big, and when I showed up with my husband the hostess was like oh I don't have you on here and ignored me to talk to people behind me then she said oh the 12 people reservation? Right in front of him when I told them specifically on the phone it's a surprise. They didn't do anything special.. The server and the server was alright.. and when it's busy you don't see any of the bay view cuz people walking around too much.. I totally won't recommend this place especially for a specific occasion
(1)Stefan K.
View is great, nice place. Drinks are fairly priced in the happy hour, but if you have to wait in a crowded line for 30 minutes watching a single barman handle the crowd is not fun at all.
(3)Amber D.
Great date spot! Good food, beautiful views and ambiance. What more could you want? I'll definitely be back. And those ham croquettes just like at Lolita's- to die for!
(5)Adam S.
Great atmosphere and ambiance. Food was decent, service was great! Nice place for a date, or to go with friends. Prices on par with the area

Great service beautiful restaurant and view my boyfriend and I came here for anniversary dinner was very romantic and nice I loved it. Food was great, noticed everyone getting pizza will have to try next time we go . Andres provided fast and great service ! Very friendly
(5)Anahy D.
Great Restaurant !! is a romantic place where i ate with my husband ... the view to the Lake was amazing .. And the food !! well .. what can i say first i din't know what to drink and the waitress suggested me a Mojito with a touch of strawberry , which i loved it , an excelent combination for people to like sweet drinks like me . Then for appetizer we got a Chihuaha Cheese Casserole ( the cheese was super melted and easy to eat ) and Calamare al pepperoncini Flatbread ( is a little kind like thin pizza with calamare on top in elegance version ) super delicious Then for entrées i got The Faux Riso ! is like a casserole with shrimps, mushrooms into wild rice , was the perfect combination then my husband got the Veal Churrasco !! he loved it ... with the Chimichurri mmmm Can't say more and thats why i give 5 stars

--I POSTED UP PHOTOS!! CHECK THEM OUT!!- My older sister Jada C. (a popular Yelper, check her out!) took the family and I here for a late dinner. She came here quite a few times and said that this restaurant had some pretty great deals. FYI: with every ma

Not a great set up for large parties. It was impossible to have group convo the way the tables were set up. Food was tasty. Service was good. The place was cold! We were offered a blanket. That was a weird response to letting them know we were freezing. It was a business outing, sitting with a blanket wasn't a real option. Otherwise, tasty experience. I would go back for the salmon.
(4)Mara B.
Absolutely love this place. Came here for the first time ever. It was my boyfriends birthday so I wanted to go to a nice restaurant and from the reviews I was sold with this plave. OK, so first thing the location. It is located downtown miami by the water! Which means you can sit outside and have an amazing view. Unfortunately it was super windy on the night we went so we stayed inside. The menu that night gave us 4 options. An entrée and appetizer starting $18.99 up to $32.99 . We chose an entrée that was under the $25.99 list. So for $25.99 we each got one entrée and one appetizer. It was delicious. Our server was really nice and ambience was just amazing! candle in the middle and all. They also had wine options for $5 /glass or $15 /bottle. At the end of our meal they brought out a plate that said happy birthday with cheesecake for my boyfriend! Pretty awesome! I cannot say enough good things about this place. Oh and not that it really matters but theirs tv 's in the bathroom! ! Lol crazy cool
(5)H S.
Beautiful ambience, next to the water and very nice interior decor but food quality not the best.
(4)Evelio R.
Amazing view of Brickell Bay by the water. Extremely delicious food yet without the price that Brickell restaurants usually have; very affordable. Fantastic atmosphere and ambiance with an indoor lounge and outdoor bar. Very romantic and intimate for when you want to connect with a special someone. My girlfriend surprised me for my birthday here and I would definitely come back in the near future. One of the best places I've been to, hands down. Definitely get the quinoa lettuce wrap; so delicious.
(5)Taurean B.
This might be the best restaurant I've been to. Food, service and atmosphere was all perfect. Can't ask for more.
(5)Laurie S.
We tried to eat here today for lunch. Unfortunately, the hostess was unable to seat us. There was an almost open restaurant full of inside tables, but she needed to talk to her manager to know where she was allowed to seat us, waiting at least 10 minutes with no resolution. I cannot speak to the food, however, the service and demeanor of the hostess was enough to cause us to leave and find a much friendlier restaurant with quicker service.
(2)Martin H.
Wow, living the dream! Great food overlooking the bay and the Miami Beach skyline. House wine is good value but there's a nice selection of reds that are worth the money in my opinion. This place is classy so dress up :)
(5)Erika K.
I'm not too crazy about Crazy about you. I find the food to be just... Meh. I've eaten several times from the family style menu for business meetings and I'm not a huge fan of the concept. I can't comment on the meat dishes since I don't eat meat, but I have found the pastas to be way to oily and salty with no other real flavor. The gnocchi was good, but some of my friends found it too spicy for their palates. My husband is a huge fan of the lentil soup. I haven't tried it because it has bits of chorizo in it. The only reasons to come here is for the incredible view of Biscayne Bay and for the quick and inexpensive lunch specials (ideal if you work nearby).
(3)Lorena R.
Nothing can beat their prime terrace overlooking the bay. Perfect spot for Friday happy hours!!! Their wine bottle prices are very reasonable and their appetizers are pretty good. Make sure you get there early because it gets very packed!!
(4)Ariel G.
I actually live very close to this new place, and had some semi decent high hopes that I would actually be able to walk somewhere else instead of the incessant Miami driving. Unfortunately this place suffers from pretty much any new restaurant in Miami suffers, they try too hard to impress people with decor and misguided "ambience" instead of prepare actual good food. Inside, they did their best to present a vibe which goes with a 200 dollar evening of food, candles everywhere......white tablecloth, 10-15 waiters/help staff at your disposal. Now, the problem? The food wasn't even at a TGI Friday's level, but the menu definitely looked like it. Between Mexican "Spring Rolls", Sliders/Fries and generic fish and rice the food was vastly disappointing. In addition every minute one of the staff members would ask us if we needed anything, and repour our wine and water without asking and interrupting our conversation.....literally in a 5 minute span I'd say 3 people would offer their assistance. They were TOO attentive for a place that served me fries and a burger, and not that bright. We were 2 of 6 people in the entire place, and both tables were constantly surrounded by overbearing help staff. Also, the hostesses are dressed in miniskirts so tiny it made the place feel like a high class whorehouse. They did a great job of making us feel uncomfortable and completely ridiculous with their ambience/vibe. Never had more /overdecorated generic food in my life. Miami desperately needs food substance over presentation substance. I won't even touch the name.
(1)luis s.
What great service!!! This place has a very nice decor, and amazing views. It is very similar to Lolita's as far as the menu is concerned. Basically 15$ or 20$ gets you appetizer and main dish. My favorite part of the menu is the dessert. They have a dessert called message in a bottle (you pretty much concoct your own dessert give it a name put it in a bottle and hope to win a free dinner) that gives it a nice interaction at the end of your delicious meal.
(5)Sara S.
Keeping this review plain and simple. Great service, horrible food.
(2)Pepr P.
The concept is exactly like Dolores Lolita (owned by the same people). The AC was broken, we were sweating bullets, getting seated took an additional 30 minutes after our reservation time, service was super slow but I assume it was because the place was PACKED. The portions were tiny, I had the NY Strip, it was full of fat. Not going back.

This restaurant has the worst valet service I have experienced in my entire life. It is impossible to divorce the two. I dined here on Sunday July 15th. Valet lost my car, they lost my key, and they had me waiting for well over an hour. Ultimately, after an hour of standing and waiting, the parking attendant at the valet stand , Orlando Fernandez, from the horrific ParkSafe Systems asked us what was the make and model of our vehicle. He asked us the same thing many times over. They also lost my keychain and key attached to the keyless remote fob. They kept giving us excuses and lies throughout the night. Orlando Fernandez claimed he gave another valet employee the wrong key. Then another employee, an older Cuban gentleman blamed the weather. Then, the same Orlando Fernandez claimed they didn't know where our car was and needed help identifying the vehicle. Then again he asked us what the make and model was. When our car did come finally, the key and keychain was missing. Now I have no way to lock the trunk or glove compartment. The employees at Crazy About You were oblivious to the whole thing and could care less. The manager, a lady, never followed up with us after she promised she would. Again, you CANNOT separate the valet services provided by the HORRIFIC ParkSafe Systems from Crazy About You. You haven't a choice here. The Food: The portions are small and the ingredients of poor quality. I could not believe I was given artificial mashed potatoes. I do not dine out to be given the fake stuff. Even whole in the wall places do boot do this. No Crazy ABout You, I am definitely not returning. I do not like to pay to be mistreated. I am by far NOT Crazy About You !

I LOVE this place!It is SO original!From the decoration to the menu,the location to the food...like no other place I have ever been to in Miami.And it's waterfront!!With a big outdoor terrace where you can either lounge on some really comfy chairs sipping a drink and looking at the water or dine at one of their tables.I think it's a wonderful concept :a nice place,good food and...best of all, really reasonable prices.The only reason I don't go more often is because I live a little far,otherwise I'd probably be there every day!I recommend the croquettes and the deconstructed mojito...AMAZING!
(5)Alissa S.
I must be honest....I wasn't sure what to expect or if I would like it. Well, I am glad to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The decor of the restaurant was very cool. It was a pretty restaurant, with a good vibe and good views. Now, on to the cost. Everything on the menu is either 15.95 or 18.95, and for those prices, you get an appetizer and main course. The menu selection was quite expansive, and I wanted to try everything! I opted for the Cesar Salad and Pasta with seafood for my main. Both were excellent. In fact, that might have been one of the best Cesar's I have ever had. My husband ordered the Cod Empanada and Calamari entree. He was also pleased with his section. Basically, this restaurant had it all. Good vibe, good service, excellent menu and at a good cost. I will definitely be going back!

I went here on a Friday night with some out-of-town guests. We didn't have reservations which was only a problem for trying to sit outside. It was going to be a 35 min wait for a table outside. We were all starving so we opted to dine inside with a 5-10 min wait. We left our name with the hostess and sat in the nice bar area in the front and ordered a bottle of house wine($13!) to start drinking while we waited. Well 10 mins go by then 20 mins and finally we sent someone up to the hostess to see why we hadn't been seated yet. Well, turns out she wasn't going to seat us until we closed our bar tab, which neither she nor the cocktail waitress bothered to tell us. She really needs some lessons in proper hostessing because that is quite possibly the worst hostessing I have ever experienced. That pretty much destroyed the mood of the evening. We were finally seated in the main dining area. It was quite possibly the loudest resto I have ever been to. They seriously need to fix the acoustics in the room because I could barely hold a conversation with the person next to me. I picked this place because I love Dolores and the food but not the wait for a table and this always seemed less crowded. I have to say the food was good bordering on great. Just a few things threw it off. I got the goat cheese and butternut squash salad which I thought was perfect. We also had the ham croquettes and the wedge salad. Corquettes = great, wedge salad= tasty but ridiculously complicated to eat because you have to cut up the huge wedges of lettuce yourself. For mains we had the grilled chicken, fish sliders, thai steak, and shrimp scampi. Grilled chicken= so-so, served in a thick sauce like alfredo. Not overly impressive Fish sliders=kinda small but pretty tasty. Thai steak= cokked perfectly but the thai sauce is actually a standard sweet chili sauce which wasn't super flavorful and the meat didn't have much flavor beyond the sauce. the shoestring fries on the other hand were fantastic. Shrimp scampi= came in a tiny cereal sized bowl with ~4 shrimp. probably could get a better deal at the Olive Garden. Dessert menu is very small with 3 or 4 items but very cheap which is a bonus. I would go back for sure but would try to make reservations for an outside table to avoid the noise inside. Also, management needs to retrain their hostess so she doesn't put a damper on anybody else's night again.
(3)Maria Del Carmen N.
08/27/11 Sat- We were a group of 11 and we ALL loved the food, the atmosphere, the service, everything was just great. We had gone the night before to its sister restaurant, "Lolita" and some of the food was bad and so was the service. But Crazy About You was completely the opposite. This place has a higher class of atmosphere. We had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend it and would go again for sure. We had read some bad reviews about the food, but on the contrary, the food was delicious and no one got sick at all.

great food, prices and service. beautiful view
(5)Ana P.
I had been dying to go to this restaurant for like 2 months and my boyfriend took me for my birthday! It was awesome! He made the reservation for 10:30 and when we got there we were seated right away. We even sat outside by the ocean it was beautiful! The food was amazing! He had the Calamari Flatbread and i had the skillet as an appetizer and as an entree we both had the salmon pasta which was amazing! It looks small but once you start eating it fills you up quick! As a dessert we had the message in a bottle which i found adorable. They give you all the ingredients to make your own sundae on a big plate and then at the end they give you a paper and a big bottle to make up a quote and at the end of the month they do a raffle and who ever wins with the best quote gets to go again for free! I am looking forward to going again! I completely loved it!!!!
(5)Jeannette M.
Went there for brunch, sangrias and mimosas were .99 cents for that month. The food was delicious, the service was great and the view was amazing. Will definitely go back!

Love the food and setting of this restaurant. Service is great, waiter was very attentive and professional.
(5)Rosa D.
Awesome restaurant! Great location & great prices!! Great waiter by the name of Alfredo!! Will definitely be back!
(5)Jason S.
I'll make this short and sweet: Time = 11:40am Service = no waiting, complete beck and call (but also was not a busy time of day). Complimentary hummus = very flavorful and asked for more. Appetizers: - Caesar salad = fresh, incredible cheese - calamari flatbread = very good (might want to brush off some peppers) Entrees: - Kobe bites = great! The fries are very good and difficult to stop eating. - salmon pasta forchillini = whoa (couldn't put the fork down). Overall = loved it. Wish we could have had more. Will definitely return again.
(4)michelle n.
Excellent atmosphere right by the water, the menu was amazing, they include an appetizer with each main course, everything about this place was great. Definitely would return.
(5)Taylor D.
Last night was the first time we have ever been and without a doubt we reccomend to everyone and will come back again if ever in miami again. Unfortunately it was raining so we couldn't go outside but the inside was lovely. As soon as you walk in you see a big glass wall hiding all the wines and to your left a bar area and its all in this very nice chill lounge area. We got seated very quickly and were surprised by the prices. As we are in Miami we thought the prices would be crazy high. But the entrees are priced in levels basically. From 17.99, 21.99, 24.99 and then 32.99 and all include an appetizer. I did the kobe beef sliders with an app of the ham croquettes which all around it was just all done right. I'm a big guy so the 2 sliders and croquettes didn't leave me stuffed but I definitely didn't leave hungry. She had the gnocchi pasta and a salad that I can't remember what it was but she loved it. We shared our meal with a bottle of house win which was only $15 so that's what I recommend as well to everyone, that's basically a free bottle of wine. But anyways we ended our meal with the american churros, two churros bent with ice cream and chocolate sauce was really good! And all of this was only $70. Anyways that's my review I hope yall like it and get to check out Crazy About You!!
(5)Benjamin B.
I work across the street from Crazy About You, and I take clients here when I need a restaurant that has seemingly sophisticated food and an intimate atmosphere. On my most recent visit, I was happy to see that CAY has somewhat figured out what it does well. The first time I ate at CAY, I ordered the tortilla, which was of interest to me because I lived in Spain for some years and hardly ever encounter real tortilla española in the US. Well, despite asking the waiter if the tortilla was authentic, I was served some crap they tried to pass off as tortilla. Wonderfully, this last visit, the tortilla was removed from the appetizers, which suggests that the owner began to think about the menu. Happy that the menu was rethought, I ordered the Mexican Caprese Salad, which probably would have been better without the guacamole enhancement, but was still excellent because of its primary ingredients. As my second course, I ordered the steak in a mushroom sauce, which was probably one of the best dishes I have eaten at CAY. The steak was tender and the sauce balanced, which created a good dish. Overall, do not expect wonderful food and know that the second course will be better than the first.
(3)Event X Llc W.
Came here to celebrate a birthday. We were seated immediately and were handed a menu. The ambience was excellent, the menu had good options at reasonable prices for the type and look of the restaurant. The chihuahua appetizer is very tasty along with the calamari flatbread. For the main entree I ordered a Rigatoni alla Carbonara which was very good. Overall no complaints!
(4)Natasha R.
I took my now, girlfriend, to dinner to ask her to be my girlfriend. Neither of us had ever been here and had always wanted to go, so I knew it would be special. I requested outside seating for my reservation. We were seated and when the waiter came to our table I ordered a bottle of Votre Santé Pinot Noir, excellent wine! I also whispered to the waiter if it would be possible to write "Will you be my girlfriend?" on the dessert plate upon ordering, he said that he would go ahead and take care of that for me. We had the Mediterranean Antipasto and the Serrano Ham Croquettes to start, both exquisite. I ordered the Zucchini Pasta Carbonara and she ordered the Braised Steak Brasatto both were amazing. I asked for the dessert menu and out came our waiter with the dessert and plate that said exactly what I wanted it to say! Needless to say, she said YES! It was the BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! We will definitely be going back again.
(5)David C.
Was surprised with a birthday dinner at Crazy About You and boy was it ever a surprise! The view was nothing short of spectacular, the food was incredible but more importantly it was spent with the people I love. We had a great time there, the service was great and the prices are even better. Trust me on this, you won't regret going!
(5)Linda M.
I would say this is actually a 3.5. This eatery is not a unique menu that stands out in any real way but that said it does have enough options for a large group to allow everyone a consistent experience and decent meal. Each entree comes with your choice of an appetizer- or if you are not starving you can order just an appetizer stand alone for $10. If you don't like this option they have some of the entrees stand alone but at the bar only. Our group had the following: Margherita pizza- a crowd pleaser. Thing crust, well seasoned Sliders and fries- great fries, the burgers were more great at all. Definitely low quality meat Quinoa spinach goat cheese salads- so so as there was maybe a few grains of quinoa and a blob of goat cheese. Could have been better for sure BBQ Ribs- exactly as advertised. Ribs with a decent sauce Wine list was so so and half the items were missing. You can bring your own wine for a corkage fee of $14 if its not on their menu You can't specify if you make a reservation inside or out- which is a shame as it does have some of the nicer views outdoor for Miami.
(3)Orlando M.
Came here for my birthday with my family and surprisingly every single person was really happy with their meal -- my family is typically hard to please but everyone agreed the food was great. Unfortunately it was raining so we couldn't eat outside but we enjoyed the ambiance inside. I had the BBQ ribs and though I've had better in other areas of the USA, I can't say there are many Miami places that make it better.
(5)Jorge R.
Went for brunch on a Sunday, it had an amazing view of Key Biscayne and Brickell on the outside patio. The menu is a prix-fixe style with a lot of different options and the mimosas were inexpensive. I enjoyed eating outside and it was a nice change up to other brunch options in Downtown Miami. Definitely a good find if you are trying to do something nice and different on a budget in Miami.
(4)Yania R.
Great ambience / awesome view. So so food. Ideally, the food should improve. Nice decor
(3)J C.
I LOVE this Place! Everything from the Decor, Service & Food was AMAZING! Plus the Price is reasonable! You get a FREE App with every main course & House Bottle of Wine for Just $14 or $4 by the Glass!
(5)Steph O.
I've been dying to go this place and finally the opportunity presented itself. The entrance of the restaurant is very modern...yes there's a pink statue in the entry way but it is definitely not the focal point! The bar is sleek and the sitting area has a sort of a sexy feel. The hostess stand is definitely in an awkward place. ..it gets blocked very easily if more than 3 ppl are standing there. When you walk through the restaurant the decor immediately catches your eye. It's clean and the lights are really nice. We opted to sit outside to feel the breeze and see what the hype was all about. It was obviously dark so the view of the harbor was non existent except for the building lights and industrial structure across. I was a little disappointed but it's obviously dark! Our waiter was awesome...super nice guy...made a few suggestions and was very attentive! Asked if we were celebrating any special occasion and I told him it was my birthday. ..he assured me he'd have something special at the end! Ok so the food....I'd first like to say I feel totally jipped. I read the reviews prior to visiting and was looking forward to an amazing meal...not so much. .We ordered the calamari flat bread and chihuahua cheese casserole apps. The flatbread was cold and not crispy...the calamari was good but what fried food isn't? The chihuahua cheese..this was a little confusing...it states it has a hint of chorizo....i honestly did not taste one bit of it and the pesto was also nonexistent! It tasted like a cheese pizza without the crust...had marinara sauce...melted white cheese..oh and the most stale pieces of baguette you can imagine. For dinner...I ordered the short rib on a bed of roasted potatoes and my husband had the filet. My meal tasted like a frozen tv dinner. My potatoes were cold and i had about 4 pieces in total...my little cast iron serving dish was completely full of raw onions and peppers in sauce. I had more onions than potatoes and my piece of rib was blah. My husbands "filet" looked more like a skirt steak and he also had 4 little potatoes. The dish should be renamed to "Not a filet" to follow the theme of the "Faux risotto" and the "Not a cheesecake" dessert. The best part of our meal was the sparkling wine we had. The bday dessert was very nicely presented and complimentary! It was the "Not a cheesecake" a scoop of ice cream on top of some cookie crumbles topped with a berry sauce....it was just OK. Oh and the bread they put out with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip in....is cold and gummy...I really wanted to like this place...really but i think i will save my hard earned money for somewhere closer to home! Oh and bring a flashlight. ..

Maybe the best "by-the-water" restaurant views in town, but the food just doesn't match the sights. I've been here maybe 3 or 4 times, each has left me underwhelmed. With so many amazing food choices around town, it's hard I pick Crazy About You if you're looking for good food worth coming back to. But if you just want some drinks with a nice view, coming here and ordering a light menu could be worth your while.

It's a great place due to the environment and location, parking is a little rough at times but over all love the food, it has changed a bit though and hope management notices

My sister in law was throwing her birthday dinner here last week. I had a work event before hand, so I was a little late (she made reservations at 8pm). For some reason the host told her that unless the entire party was seated, they could not accomodate all of us. I know at most restaurants they wait until most of the party is present... there were literally only two people missing from our party of 12 and we had to end up sharing seats with friends in order to fit. When I arrived I ordered an appetizer (Spinach and Artichoke Dip), but it just wasn't what I thought it would be. The Midori Sour I ordered was also watered down. The food and drink left much to be desired, and I'm not sure I'm as crazy about this restaurant as its name suggests.

The place is beautiful, for a nice date. The interior design was very well thought out you feel very comfortable once your here. If your going to order cocktails be prepared to pay $12. But, if your date isn't high maintenance they have $4/glass or $14/Bottle. I've ordered all three of their house wines and they are all good, my favorite is the Chardonnay. I found the best things to order for appetizers are: their Spinach Goat Cheese Salad or the Calamari Flat bread. For your main entree I recommend to order the Chicken Milanese or the Lobster Cannelloni. Our friend had the Ossobuco which I tried, I think it's very tasty as well. I keep returning with my family and friends!

Came here for my birthday and left extremely happy!! I had plans to stop here for dinner then go to another location in Brickell to party but the service and ambiance here was so incredibly wonderful I stayed the entire night!! The food is great the drinks are tasty and the location is fantastic!! I will most certainly be back!!
(4)Adasis B.
The best part about this restaurant was the great view of the bay. My friend and I got there around 6p and the hostess suggested that we sit outside and enjoy the view. Great recommendation! Although it was rather breezy out, we loved it. They even provided cozy red shawls. The food was yummy. I had the Kobi beef sliders that were delish! Definitely going back again.
(3)Debzie P.
Went here by the suggestion of Yelp with friends that were visiting from out of town and was beyond AMAZED. The atmosphere was incredible, the staff was amazing and the food..omg. The food from looking online I was a little out of my comfort zone but when we arrived and looked at the menu was very satisfied with finding something for everyone. We even shared with eachother too, to taste the different foods. I especially loved that you got 2 coursed for the price of one. Such a great concept that I hope they trademarked because it left more room to spend on drinks and if other restaurants knew about it would be following your trend. Our waitress Daniela was the best very personable and attentive for her alone I will be returning with my bf for our anniversary!!! Can't wait.
(5)Gabriela I.
I love the romantic ambiance of this restaurant. Dim lighting, nice decor, good service, and perfect for a date night! We didn't get to sit outside since we came without a reservation, but if you do go try and get a table outside with the beautiful view. The prices are good especially for the amount of food you get since each plate comes with an appetizer. For the appetizer I ordered the calamari flatbread, it was yummy! (See Picture). I ordered the chicken carbonara zucchini pasta as my main dish and I absolutely loved it!! It was delicious and I'm not even a fan of zucchini. (See picture).
(4)Jensy S.
This was my first time EVER in Miami and I took my girlfriend out to this restaurant for her birthday. The service was exceptional - top notch service. Our server, Erick, and management were personal and willing to go above and beyond. They helped me surprise my girlfriend with a happy birthday cake at the end of the night. Furthermore, our original seating wasn't the best, but management was more than glad to move us to an ocean view table to make the night special. Overall this place has a great environment and perfect for a romantic diner - plus the food was top notch. Greg value for the food and service and I will definitely come back again. A+++
(5)Syrel R.
One of my favorites. This place is great for date night but it's also jut as good for a night out for dinner and drinks with the girls. The food is always great and the drinks are always flowing. The Serrano ham & cheese croquettas are bomb, the gnocchi is always killer, and the steaks are always cooked to perfection and served with tasty sides. They also have cool low carb options like zucchini carbonara or cauliflower rice. If you're looking for a more low cal meal those are available as well. This makes for a great option for when you have been working your ass off in the gym and don't want to kill it just bc you wanted to have a night out with your boo or your girls.
(5)Maurice L.
Love the food and the prices here this place has a nice winning combination of ambiance and great food. Love to go on a date here its always a pleasant experience, every bottle of wine is $15 The menu is set up in a way where you pick from options for your 3 course meal. Prices are from $23 - $30 per person. So its a great deal and the food is really good, want to impress her on a budget take her here!!!
(5)Dainelys M.
Crazy about you is allllll about passion, with that being said its a great place for dates !!! They have a nice wooden box in the center of the table to place your cellphones... Which to me is a great idea since me and my hubby are believers of no cellphones while having dinner. The view is amazingly beautiful, and who doesn't appreciate dining with a view ? They have a rather large wine selection, and off course a full bar :) I have been here four times and I've received outstanding service every single time !! EVERY ENTREE COMES WITH AN APPETIZER! So that's a good thing, you get your own personal appetizer while waiting on your food !! I got the chihuahua cheese one, which is suggest, I am so obsessed with it !! I come here mostly for this!!! My husb got the Caesar salad but he was extremely jealous of mine !! His was just a regular salad. But it did come in a cute mason jar. And then we then both got the churrascos with mash potatoes which was delicious in my opinions and was served in a very good portion !! Von appetite :) the only thing Is.. If you go on a busy day make sure you wait for an outside table!! Inside it's ridiculously loud and you literally WILL get a headache !!!
(4)Courtney R.
Came here last year for my birthday. I had always wanted to try it because of the pictures I'd seen online. Plus I had visited Lolitas & fell in love so I wanted to fall in love all over again. Ambiance: The location of the restaurant is great. It's right by the water. Very romantic & has a similar concept as Lolitas. I love the writing on the bathroom mirrors. Food: The food is similar to what they have at lolitas. Once again I had the croquettes, which I proclaim once again are the best Ive ever had! For my entree I had some pasta dish I can't remember the exact name but it was also very good. Service: They won't seat you until your entire party is there even with a reservation, which I have always found to be annoying when restaurants do that. So once my entire group got there we ended up waiting almost 30 mins to be seated. Our server was ok he didn't seem to know much english though. He did give me a free dessert for my birthday, which was a plus. I would deff return to this place for a date night. Its a perfect place to go if you dont want to break the bank but still have a very romantic night out.

So I decided to surprise my girl after work and take her here as I was recommended by some Co workers. They told me it was inexpensive, has a beautiful view, and great food. Made reservations for 7pm and we got there early to walk by the water which she loved :) she found it romantic lol We valet the car which was $10, walked, then went in the place early cause we were starving. We sat outside which to me ended up making me feel hot as it got darker. I ordered the calamari flatbread as an appetizer which was AMAZING! It's a must try! As my entrée I had the baby back ribs which were good but not the best ever. Very soft and tender but like I said I've had better elsewhere. The part I probably enjoyed the most was the ending. We had the "message in a bottle" as a dessert which we both found cute. You basically put together your own brownie with topings and ice cream but the cute part is that you get to write a message to your significant other with the chocolate on the plate!

The view. The view. The view! Did I mention the view yet? Crazy About You is one of my favorite restaurant in Miami. For me, the service has always been great, the food is always great, I love the decor, and oh yeah, the view. I love the way the bar slash seating area is decorated. Dark walls light colored accents. Those big gummy bears and photos of Marilyn Monroe and Liz Taylor. That glass enclosed library of liquor. It's kind of have a modern mancave feel to it without feeling too masculine. The dining area is very Miami in its white, kind of pristine look and of course, the back patio which looks out into the bay. The food has always been great. Each meal comes with a free appetizer. I don't know about you, but I love free stuff. Oh, and their complimentary bread sticks with vinegar and oil are pretty bomb. Yea, I said, "bomb". The calamari pizza with the peppers is my go-to app. It's big but not too filling and the calamari is always fresh. The meals are great. I've had the zucchini pasta and I've tried short ribs. Both were amazing. The dishes don't always look big, but their definitely filling. I keep reading reviews about the service being kind of meh, but I haven't had a bad experience yet. And no, I'm not letting them slide because they are in Miami and I should expect mediocrity, it's always been well above my general expectations for any dining experience. I've taken out of town friends here, I've celebrated birthdays here and I've just gone here just to go and have a good meal, and oh yeah, I've gone here for the view too.
(4)Geraldine A.
My review is solely based on their Wednesday happy hour, and I was extremely happy during these hours. My table and I ended up ordering almost everything on their HH menu and everything was exceptional: cheese croquettes, tuna tacos, seared tuna, kobe sliders, calamari flatbread, yummmm... $1 champagne glasses for ladies, can't go wrong with that!!!
(5)Tori M.
I fell in love with this restaurant when we walked in. The decor is very unique. The service was excellent. We had a server named Carlos. He was great. We were early for our reservation but they sat us immediately. They gave us the option to sit outside and they were nice enough to find us a good table inside when we thought it was going to rain. Now for the food: the calamari flatbread was great, so were the fried green tomatoes. The Serrano ham croquets were amazing-a must! The risotto was delicious, my favorite dish so far. The churrasco was juicy and tender. I had the zucchini pasta with chicken. Best of all. Everything was reasonably priced and every entree comes with an appetizer. The wine was $5.00 a glass and overall, we paid less than $30 a person. Great place. We'll be back.
(5)Rachael B.
I'm crazy about Crazy About You! The best things about this restaurant are the unique presentation and the view. This place is great both for lunch and happy hour/dinner. I love sitting outside with the bay breeze and overlooking Brickell Key. The people watching is also great. The food is a mix between Italian/Mediterranean/American. Overall the food is pretty good, not amazingly life changing, but good. The best part is the presentation they give for the desserts. The dessert menu is a miniature windmill, firstly. Then they have a brownie dessert on the menu that you can make your self and at the end they give you a piece of paper to write a quote on to be entered into a rally for a free meal. Great spot for a special lunch or happy hour!
(4)Geoff B.
Came here for a Sunday funday brunch. Went with the chicken and waffles, if you like a nice big piece of friend Chicken on a waffle then go somewhere else. When my food showed up there was 3 of the smallest chicken strips on a over cooked crunchy waffle. I would have probably been better going to the 7eleven across the street ordering some of their chicken strips and grabbing a box of ego waffles from their freezer. My girlfriend ordered the short rib eggs Benedict. She enjoyed them for about 30 minutes, then she found out that this item must have been from their full body cleanse part of the menu. If your relationship isn't at the level where it's cool for your girlfriend to take a shit every 5 minutes at your apartment then I would suggest going somewhere else. So much for a Sunday funday.
(1)Vanessa R.
First time visiting this resturant. I would like to say that the staff is definetly friendly. Love the view here, definetly recommend for that. I will get straight to the point the food (atleast for my experience) definetly was not the best. I ended up not even eating my food, it really didn't even taste good. But good thing the prices are reasonable. This is a place I definetly recommend if you have never been, just to experience it. But don't expect much from the food. Drinks are great though!
(3)Clari C.
The only thing I'm crazy about this place is the view and service! The food is OK. Nothing special; nothing memorable. Tip: Dinner menu is better than the brunch menu. For brunch we had waffles, with scrambled eggs, bacon, patatas bravas and a croissant sandwich. It's really sad to say but I probably enjoy Denny's breakfast more than this. If you had patatas bravas before in a real Spanish restaurant you are then going to be disappointed by these. Patatas bravas are supposed to crunchy, full of flavor and spicy; and these were bland, soft and dipped in a weird tomato sauce. The eggs were nothing special, the bacon was not cooked properly and the croissant sandwich looked so sad that I didn't even try it. Needless to say good service and a nice view is not enough for me to go back!
(3)Helena R.
Late night dinner with my friends, and I must say, given the fact that they have other 3 restaurants, I was surprised on how good it actually was. The place is big and they have a setting outside that you can see the bay, it also is nice cause they have more of a lounge feeling, with candles and music. The food is also a good deal. For whichever entree you get, you got to choose a appetizer free of charge, amazing! The food was good, and the portions were big as well, including the appetizer. They also carry a good selection of wine and sparkling. I would definitely check out this place and/or come here again.
(4)Tim S.
One thing you want from a place called "Crazy about You" , is ambiance. And here the ambiance is 10 star. Drinks on the Miami Bay, like yoga for your soul. Tonight was no different. A beautiful night. The Miami weather is a great help. The breeze seems to always be perfect here. The lighting weather day or night always reflects a tranquil place. They usually play different types of lounge music, tonight was Brazilian. I don't come for the food but I can say it's pretty good. The menu is a little high but the place earns it. If you are going for s night with the family, maybe not for you. But for a drink on the Miami bay, can't beat it
(5)Gaby F.
Ive been here twice. Love it both times. Time to seat was a lot less than anticipated; good start. Food was a little bit saltier than my usual, some plates not all of them(the potatoes with eggs for example), but so so yummy. I love the ambience here. I'd say romantic. Come with your partner or with friends and you'll be pleased. Service was good, no rushing and very polite. Good service always makes a difference.
(5)Marina A.
Gorgeous waterfront view, excellent excellent service, beautiful presentation. Caesar salad is served in a jar, shaken and then put on a large plate. Very creative. Good taste. Flat bread is good but needs to be a little more crispy. Gnocchi is very good. Salmon was ok. Cappuccino flan one of the best we ever had. Overall great place to go for a fun night but no to expect gourmet or foodie type of food. Prices are way too cheap for a location and service.
(4)Caitlin O.
Was disappointed to not be able to sit outside for dinner, but the inside is funky and fun! Dinner was delicious, and they have a funny menu concept where you order an entree and it comes with a 'free' appetizer. All the food was good and interesting, and our waitress was very nice. However, we went outside to the back patio and had a round of drinks, and the bartender did something comically rude. Our party was myself and my friend who are both 30, her little brother who is 23, and her mother how is in her 50s. When the 23 year old ordered the bartender asked for his ID. I ordered and he asked for nothing, and my friend ordered and he asked for her ID! We all laughed but cmon buddy no reason to make me feel like the grandma! Be polite and indulge me too. Also the mojitos he made were disgustingly sweet, we preferred the ones from the inside bartender.
(4)Melissa M.
I was very pleased with my experience at Crazy About You. First of all, the decor is absolutely beautiful. The prices here are very reasonable. They have house wine (red and white) that is $5 for a glass or $15 for the whole bottle! I ordered a bottle of the $25 Sauvignon blanc which was great for such a reasonable price. With any entree you order you get a free appetizer. My friend loved everything but was not a big fan of her entree, the rigatoni with spicy sausage. You must get the fried green tomatoes with garlic aioli, unreal!!!
(4)Ms. K.
I didn't know what to expect because the reviews were so mixed both good and bad, however I really enjoyed myself! The food was delicious and the waiter was awesome! I will be coming back, the only thing I would change is the lighting is was really dark out we had to use our phones to see the menu.
(4)Steffi C.
I am crazy about this place... I went on a Thursday night with my husband, we had reservations for 7PM we arrived a little early at 6:30 so we had to wait a little. At 6:55 pm I went up to the host and asked if our table was ready and she's like "do you want to sit now?", she seemed lost and not focused. Anyway that was the only little issue at first but after that everything went well, we sat outside I loved the view, it was spectacular. My husband had the Antipasto Appetizer and I had the cheese casserole, I liked mine better it was so yummy I recommend it. For entrees, my husband had the Angus Grille Churrasco, and I must mention he is very picky with how his meat taste and he said the meat was very good especially with the chimi churri sauce, he loved the flavor, his side was mash potato sprinkled with a little bit of sausage on top, he liked that very much too, even though he is not a big fan of mash potato. I had the "I can't believe its not Pasta Carbonara with chicken" dish, I recommend this for the ladies that love pasta but are trying not to break the diet since its made with zucchini noddles and not actual pasta. It was truly delicious and would like to add, I too am picky with the flavor of my food. I really wanted a dessert but I was too stuffed for anything else plus the hubby and I are trying to watch our weigh so we skipped that. Our waiter was Cesar, his service was very good, I read many reviews before stating that the service sucks but I guess we were in luck to have Cesar. Bottom line: Go check this place out.
(4)Rodrigo A.
Great option for a brunch near the river. The food is really good and the place is nice. Very good options in the menu. I recommend this place for lunch and dinner!!
(5)Max T.
Amazing location overlooking the water and reasonably priced for a miami restaurants. Bottles of house wine are also reasonable. Definitely worth getting a table outside if you can and would be even better during happy hour for half priced bottles of wine! I very much enjoyed the food and the fact you get an app with each entree without having to spend $50 a person (not including wine).
(4)Monica R.
We came here with my family right after my small, simple wedding ceremony. The service was great from the start, they were very accomating and nice. Our server was super friendly and made sure everyone was comfortable. We sat outside even though it was a hot day, because you can't beat that view. We were lucky to find that we were in time for the weekday lunch special. Everything we order was delicious. Everyone loved calamary flatbread, and my husband loved the croquetas. The drinks took a little whole to come out but they were good, and the server was nice about the delay. Overall, we loved this place. We returned on a separate occasion a week later and the service and the food was equally great. We'll be returning as often as we can.
(4)Pam S.
Atmosphere and food and service amazing. Flatbread was innovative and Delish. Manager came to the table to check. Just great service. On Brickell Bay which is beautiful day or night. The restaurant decor brings a modern yet homey vibe.
(4)Doris L.
I don't have anything new to add in case you have browsed through all of the other reviews. The running theme here is that the view is the best part of the place. It is very cute for a brunch or little girlie thing outside (I don't know, it gives off an estrogen vibe - don't ask). The service is slow and a bit on the lazy side. Considering this place is not a bargain, they should really invest in some training or just hire better servers who know how to do more than just bring you food and the check - the latter of which should be reviewed carefully as two tables in our vicinity and our own caught some errors. The lunch specials were good, but I think I was the only one at my table that really liked it- the rest were just OK. I had the Faux Risotto with wild rice, shrimp and mushrooms. It's the white truffle oil - impossible to suck.The lunch specials have different price points so there are good values to be found during daylight hours. Not crazy about you, You, but, hey, its Miami- it's better to look good - and this place is cute and has a nice rack.
(3)Keisha W.
I came here to treat my husband for his birthday.. I made reservations for us a few weeks prior( the reservations do not guarantee outdoor seating) which i believe is best part. Overlooking the ocean. The decor and atmosphere is definitely top notch and the valet is very affordable and convenient being in Miami. We both ordered the salmon. It tasted very fresh but the menu seemed to lack a complete meal.. Most came with a protein and a starch or a protein and vegetables.. With no option to add either to your meal( according to my waiter). Portion sizes are not large. So I wouldn't suggest coming here if your starving. The Caesar salad was the best I have had in years!! Ps.. If you can remember take a look in the bathrooms.. It's pretty epic. Overall, if your looking for a nice place to go and have a fancy meal and are not starving I would suggest this restaurant.
(4)Sandro G.
Great food and service I have been coming here since they have opened and love the atmosphere it's just perfect all around. I have been there with my girlfriend plenty of times and always enjoy every minute there. I strongly recommend going there for any occasion.
(5)Shelley B.
I may have turned into a finicky eater but.. only thing good about this place is the view and drinks. Two words: Food Sucks. Not tasty at all. And here's the best part..it made me sick. I've got explosive diarrhea. TMI I know, but it's the truth. NEVER AGAIN.
(1)fernando r.
Big crowd on Friday night. Expected. It is Miami. Wait time 1 hour in the terrace. Normal. It is Miami. Bartender in the outside bar. Cute girl. I asked for a bottle of wine for my gf and I. Bartender seems annoyed. Normal in Miami I ordered the churrasco fixed menu with the quinoa salad. The problem is that the churrasco steak was preheated. It tasted like eating a leftover steak. Amazing venue. Great views, but the food is below par.
(2)Luxury23 2.
Great restaurant, the food is amazing, great service, beautiful view, affordable and the ambiance is excellent. I've been here 3 times already.

I came here on a Sunday night around 8pm for my friend's birthday dinner. Parking was a hassle to find since it's in brickell, so I decided to just go for valet since I was already late. Luckily, valet was only $10! Upon entrance, a Giant pink teddy bear is posted to your left, HOW CUTE! Total selfie set up. Haha. There's two rooms inside crazy about you, the bar room which is my personal favorite! And no not because of the tremendous happy hour menu... But because of the ambience it brings. There's a soldier of colorful teddy bears lined up, couches, a lot of bean bag chair like things for you to sit on (except they're smaller and look more like saks, but same ordeal as a beanbag and just as comfy). There's also a few little tables as well. The dining room is super cool. I enjoyed the light fixtures and candles lined up along the wall! They have a little box on each table for you to put your cell phones in to "improve gastronomic experience", right on! I really dig that :) they start you off with little sticks of bread + Olive oil and vinegar to dip in. Since I wasn't too hungry, I opted for the appetizer calamari pepperccine flatbread. I LOVED IT! This flatbread was absolutely flawless! Chopped up bits if pepperccine mixed into whole circular pieces of perfectly seasoned calamari on top of a flatbread cut into six pieces. If you like spicy, this isn't spicy at all, it's just bursting with flavor. If you don't eat spicy often, then this might be a little spicy for you but I still recommend it. I loved their bathrooms. Very clean, BIG stalls, mouth wash and floss was provided. And there's little TVs on the sink showing something, which amused me because I don't go to super fancy restaurants and see things like this often haha. There's also an outside seating area with a glorious view of the city behind the water. Very romantic! As for birthdays... They gift you a little cup of cheesecake base with ice cream, whip cream, and strawberries on a large beautiful plate where they write "happy birthday" in chocolate syrup and of course, sing happy birthday!
(5)Gabriel T.
Last visit on father's day was not as great as we wished, we was sit at inside across from the kitchen doors, it was loud and hot, the open and closing of the doors killed our dinner. The server did a good job.
(3)Andrea P.
Absolutely in love with this restaurant. This restaurant works like its sister restaurants, Dolores but You Can Call Me Lolita and Love is Blind. All great but this one has the best view with a romantic setting. Every detail is thought out, to the way they bring out the food and serve you. The menu prices range from $18-$35 per person but all include an appetizer. For the appetizer I would recommend the calamari flatbread. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, I can't get over it. Overall great experience :)
(5)Andrea V.
When you walk into the venue, you love it's ecletic feel. At first is the lounge then you walk into the restaurant. I truly loved the decorations. We decided to sit outside, to enjoy the view of the bay. The menu was very funny and quirky. The menu had various items to choose from. You are first-served some nice pieces of bread with olive oil, which tastes like it was made fresh in the kitchen. I chose to eat the "I can't believe it's not pasta" which was made with zucchini like noodles. I thought it was Genius. Even though it is creamy, The pasta like feel was hearty and healthy. Then we had the message in a bottle dessert. The attention was wonderful by the staff. Also their lemonade is homemade, which helps with the Heat of Miami. At the end the manager came over, to make sure we enjoyed everything. I recommend this restaurant.
(5)Juan C.
Food is OK...the best thing about this restaurant is the view. We had our empty plates in front of us for 25 minutes, at least!!! We then asked for the happy hour menu, we got it and ordered. When we had to pay they told us happy hour was only at the bar.... And we payed full price!!! The service is mediocre, the waiter didn't even known what the house wine was...
(3)Gabriela G.
The location is great, definitely get outside seating if you can. Service was pleasant, not overly smothering. But now for the food, I was pretty disappointed. I came here with high expectations but when I got my Firecracker Rigatoni pasta all that flew over and landed right into the bay behind me....the only thing I can say made my experience an 'ok' one was the Sangria so cheers to that, I guess.
(3)Yaidy R.
I went here for Valentines Day and though I have been here before my boyfriend had not and he really enjoyed it. The food was great and the service was great I was skeptical that maybe being on Valentines Day the service wouldn't be so great but it was just the opposite All of our food came out just right on time and it was perfect Truly and awesome Valentines for my boyfriend and I :)
(5)Lorin G.
Such an amazing restaurant. Great outdoor seating with amazing views. Beautiful atmosphere and decor inside. Drinks were great. Had the ham croquette, absolutely delicious. Also tried the spinach and quinoa salad, phenomenal. Perfect amount of dressing, perfect size for sharing. Bathrooms were clean and staff was friendly and was very knowledgable of menu. Def a restaurant to try if you're a fan of their sister restaurants (Delores but you can call me Lolita and Love is Blind.)
(5)Mercedes P.
This is a place to have a date.. The view is amazing if you eat outside.. The price is good. Food is okay, but great atmosphere.. For the price is a good...
(3)Stephanie S.
I am crazy about this place. Everything I've had is amazing, particularly he calamari flatbread. The prices are very reasonable, especially for Brickell. The $15 bottle of wine is a nice touch and the bay view is spectacular. :) I would highly recommend this place. I loved the box that suggests placing your phone in it for the entire meal to allow for a more engaging experience. This place is great for a friendly lunch or a romantic date.
(5)Elgina H.
This place was amazing. the view, food and our server. made reservations for my boyfriends birthday and he enjoyed the setting and environment. he also liked the fact that they provide a place to set your cell phone down at the table so you enjoy your dining experience.
(5)Tiffany H.
Walking in, prepared for modern decor and beautiful people. Grab a drink at the bar, and prepare to wait. Reservations only get you a table- if you want a table outside, you'll have to join the rest of Miami, who wants the same table. The martinis were strong and delicious, and drinks are typical Miami prices. Outside, the view is wonderful and there's a great breeze. It is poorly lit at night, so enjoy watching people using phones as flashlights to read their menu. Peruse the menu, and have fun trying the various dishes with your table- this place is great for sharing, since every entree comes with an appetizer. Bottles of wine are also well-priced, with $15 and $25 options. The food is good. We all enjoyed our dishes, and the wine. The Message in a Bottle dessert was delicious and a fun touch. Two stars off because service is worse than usual, even for Miami. When calling for reservations, we got attitude. At the restaurant, we were told it was a 30 minute wait, then waited 60 minutes. Once seated, it was quite late, and it was starting to be much less busy. There were several empty tables outside, yet our server rushed us as if he needed the table right then. He kept coming by and trying to take plates that still had food on them, and pushing dessert too early, without actually offering anything helpful ever. I'll come back, but I'll naively cross my fingers for better service.

Wasn't really impressed with this place. Came here for lunch on a business trip and got the chicken avocado sandwich. It came on one of those crappy white bread hamburger buns that you'd find at a backyard bbq. The bacon in it was undercooked, pale, and stringy. And they put yellow mustard on it... like French's yellow mustard, which completely covered up the flavor of the avocado (and everything else). Ironically, there are signs on the tables that ask you to put your phones away so you can have "a better gastronomic experience." My phone was thankfully the only thing that could distract me from my sandwich.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful dining experience at Crazy About You earlier tonight. We sat outside on the patio overlooking the amazing view of the bay. (There is also a full service bar outside.) Each entree automatically comes with an appetizer; and the entrees were divided by price into three sections of the menu, which was helpful. This is definitely an affordable place to eat with very good ambiance to boot, regardless of whether you dine inside or outside. (The $15 bottle of house wine helps as well.) The food was delicious. For apps, we had fried green tomatoes and an antipasto with Brie board. For entrees, she had the tuna tacos and I had the gnocchi. Our server was extremely on top of things, knowledgeable, friendly and generally had a lot of common sense. Lastly, I cannot stress enough the terrific ambiance. The view of the water is spectacular, and the inside is hip.

Whether you are a sitting inside or you find a table outside facing the ocean, this is a great place to bring someone special. They have a great menu selection designed to share your food (or not) plus they have some good wines starting at $10.
(4)Renee H.
Really enjoyed this restaurant with my friends. We went for dinner and drinks. Staff was great too. Chilean sea bass was superb!
(5)Marielisa C.
After trying and enjoying Lolita so much, we decided to try this one since it's by the same owner. The restaurant has great decor, and the outside seats are super pretty with a bay view and the Miami skyline in the back. To our surprise, the service was extremely slow and the food was nothing out of this world. We had the pizza and the filet minot. The guy behind us decided to propose to his girl right there and it made for an overall nice evening.
(3)Josue G.
Place was beautiful! Prices and services were amazing, especially for Brickell. Everyone was attentive and food was great. We had slight feedback on the meal and they handled it so well! They listened and took everything into consideration! I was so pleased with the outcome of the whole dinner and atmosphere.
(5)Johnny T.
Crazy 'Bout You's All about that view 'Bout that view, not service It's all about that view 'Bout that view, not good food It's all about that view 'Bout that view & happy hour It's all about that view 'Bout that view Yeah, it's pretty clear, you comin' for the view 'Cuz you will be ignored By host & waitress, too But if it's Wednesday, ladies come get your drAnk Bub's only a buck with the app you bank Fellas, you out of luck, if you be thirsty You best hope you got moobs So you can pass, hee hee But if it's water water that you enjoy Take a gander and a picture 'Cuz that's it for all the boys Yeah, it's too bad that you can't eat or drink with just your eyes Miami never looked more beautiful than it does at night Unfortunately, though, the food & the drink are not very strong So if that's what you're into then go ahead and move along
(3)C P.
I like the place but not the food. It was over cooked and there were not to much options. I don't recommend you this place if you are looking for a good food! The dessert was the best!
(2)Colleen B.
WOW! If I was basing my review strictly on the view, this would get 5 stars... however, the service wasn't the best and the valet parking was a little confusing. So let's start with the view... WOW! We scored a table right on the water, yes, right on the water, for a Wednesday night happy hour. What does that mean? The sunshine, water and gorgeous afternoon, lent itself to a perfect backdrop to wind down the day. Also, it meant $1 glasses of champagne for women who purchased an appetizer. I went with the Mexican caprese salad which the only different between a regular caprese salad was that there were some greens and guacamole. It was a perfect, light bite to accompany my champagne. Our server was okay but not extremely attentive or informative. It wasn't even busy for happy hour. The inside was very nice as well but I can't imagine sitting inside if the weather is nice when you have a great view at your fingertips. Overall I would absolutely stop back here for happy hour or dinner. If you are in the area, seek out this gem, sit back, relax and enjoy!
(4)Adriana P.
One of my favorite places I've been in Miami so far. The ambiance is definitely one of the prime reasons why it's so great and the food is pretty good as well. We went for dinner and sat outside by the water, and the view is phenomenal. Also, you definitely get what you pay for. The price includes an appetizer which is a good size and then the entree which was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place and try to sit outside if you can. Makes everything so much better.
(5)S C.
Excellent atmosphere and views. Very good service. Very well priced menu, which is uncommon in Miami where most places are overpriced. Strong and original brunch items. Waiter was very attentive and manager came by at the end to make sure everything was fine. Recommended. Will Return
(5)Cristina R.
Great place for a romantic night out or a night out with the girls friends. In that case that was me. Service was great. The calamari Flat Bread is TO DIE FOR. I also tried the "Croquetas". BEST ONES I've ever tried. LETS NOT FORGET about the zucchini Pasta. OH EM GEE! Amazing. Great ambience music, the weather helped tremendously. It was a bit windy which it's great for a night in May, usually it's humid. Overall I loved the restaurant.
(5)Jen C.
Ambiance is beautiful! We arrived around 4 o'clock and wanted to sit on the patio closest to the water. Before dinner time you cannot sit at the tables but you can stand at the bar that is on the lower patio if you wish to be outside. There isn't too much space there but it is excused by the awesome view and sweet/knowledgeable bartender. Wednesdays are ladies night $1 Champagne! Regular happy hour is great as well, tons of yummy specialty drinks half off and half off appetizers! For our appetizer we had fried tomatoes and a yummy antipasto platter. Be warned once you sit for dinner you cannot order from happy hour even it is still within the time. The happy hour menu does NOT apply to any of the tables even if you wish to pay full price for them. Unfortunately we had a server who was very rude in explaining this to us replying to our confusion by saying "I don't know what you want me to do. I can get a manager" Which we suggested she did. I am all for following restaurant rules but I am not for attitude :) Too bad I forgot her name or I would list it here. Manager, Mark turned our night back around completely after apologizing for the attitude, brought us fresh appetizers and went above and beyond for us the rest of the night! Our new server, Yohan was amazing and made us love the place even more! We ordered Filet Mignon w/ Mash potatoes and Ribs w/ French Fries. Everything was delicious! My steak was cooked perfectly. We then had a glass of Veuve Clicquot and 1 bottle of white wine. I would return because of Yohan and Mark's service, the beautiful ambiance of the restaurant and the deliciousness of the food and drinks!

This is a simple one - just go. Drop whatever the hell it is that you're doing, it's not important, and go. No, your work can wait. Screw it, if you're waiting on your wife to give birth, she'll be fine - just go. If your husband is in the hospital after thinking he can run for 2 hours and hurt his ankle - leave him in the ER and go. If the kid/husband don't understand how good the food is and that you had to leave, you do not need them in your life. What? too much? ;-)
(5)Antita B.
Great food and great view. It was a little warm inside restaurant, needs a colder A/C! Service was good but a bit slow. I had the amazing calamari flatbread and I can't believe it's not pasta dish. Both were amazing & delicious! I will return!
(4)Alina V.
So one of my friends held her baby shower at crazy about you by renting a space for the event. The place is absolutely gorgeous and they did a fantastic job organizing and setting up. We sat down and were immediately greeted with mimosas and given a brunch menu that included appetizer, entree and beverages. Our specific menu which was chosen by the host consisted of Serrano ham croquettes, scrambled eggs, croissant, strawberry & banana creamed waffles, bacon and patatas bravas. It seemed like this restaurant offered a variety of food ranging from American to Spanish to Mediterranean. The two items that stood out from this specific menu were the strawberry & banana waffles which were fantastic and the patatas bravas. The potatoes (patatas) were smothered with a sauce I believe was marinara which gave it an amazing kick to it that I've never had at any other Spanish place. Everything else was pretty simple, nothing out of the ordinary. I have to say though that the portions were very small, my guess is it might have been due to the fact that we had a selective menu for an entire party. Might not be the case if you come for regular brunch. Next time, I want to sit outside facing the water as they have an outstanding seating arrangement with a pretty awesome view of the ocean. (Huge plus)
(4)Eli A.
I went with my best friend for dinner and ordered the...I don't remember, which is exactly my point. Not memorable experience. Food was OK, service was typical Miami "average", which is NOT the greatest. Nice view outside.
(3)Francisco S.
Awesome food, great concept. In the heart of Brickell without the BS. Finally a place that takes advantage of the view and Boardwalk. My place to bring tourists. Extremely nice service. Fun times!!!
(5)Sally R.
Nice ambiance!!! Food was not bad...... Kobe sliders were delicious. Pizza was just ok Wednesdays is ladies night. 1$ champagne with every appetizer purchase. Not advertised so you need to know it Prices are average for the area It was raining so we had to stay inside but the outdoor patio is nicer than inside. Romantic and beautiful waterview ;) I will go again
(4)Kim T.
This place is good for it's view and date spot. The food wasn't great.
(3)Krystal O.
I am crazy about, crazy about you. I love this place and have been here quite a bit. Dinner is delicious everything I've had has always been wonderful. They have an awesome ladies night happy hour where apps are half off and free champagne for ladies. My absolute favorite dish here is the calamari flatbread, this thing is amazing!!!! Beautiful location on the bay and fun DIY dessert with the message in a bottle. I highly reccomend this place for a special ocassion dinner. One of my best friends had her rehearsal dinner here and the service was wonderful - I would also reccomend this venue for a similar event or shower.
(5)Richard R.
The churrasco wasn't very good. Their service and everything else was ok but it's too bad the steak wasn't good. There are many better options in this price range
(3)Jan N.
The view is what makes this a 4 star rating. The food is good - don't get me wrong - but the view is what lures you in... We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday on a Tuesday night. And let me tell you - it was pretty bustling. I had made reservations beforehand and had requested outside seating, but the girl taking my reservation said that seating is wherever is available when we come in. Slightly turned off by this, I still plowed forward and decided to give this place a try. Crazy About You is really pretty - swanky, sophisticated, nice décor... and I loved the music track they had playing (goes with the ambiance - think Girl from Ipanema). They had ample seating at the bar, which is actually more like a lounge area with a mix of couches, short stools and tables. We actually hung out there for about 30 minutes since we were told (upon arrival) that there would be outside seating, just not immediately - which was fine with me! Although the inside of the restaurant is a great place to sit, nothing beats sitting outside. The view is great! They have an "upper level" (this is where we sat - it's connected to the main level). They also have a "lower level" (which is where I wish we would've sat!) and if I were you, I would ask to be escorted that-a-way for dinner because the view is nicer. As our dinner choices, my husband chose the bacon pizza with the Serrano ham croquets as the appetizer. And I chose the risotto with wild rice, shrimp, and mushroom in some decadent, awesome creamy sauce. As my appetizer, I got the Chihuahua Cheese. Verdict says... all of it was great! Again, not mind blowing, but definitely satisfying and tasty. And the portions were perfect - we did not feel cheated at all! And really, the prices weren't bad. You have 3 price levels - $17, $21 and $25; and each entrée comes with an appetizer of your choice. Seriously, a win-win situation. That, coupled with the view, makes it a nice night out. Ridiculously stuffed, we nixed the idea of dessert. As we walked out, hand in hand, we decided we could absolutely see ourselves coming back. It's always exciting when you find a location that you can add to your list of places good enough to come back to. It's usually hit or miss when you're venturing out and going somewhere new. It was a successful night for us, though! Yay. P.S. Valet $10. Eh.
(4)Ashima D.
I organized my graduation dinner with four other friends and their families - I understand how difficult and demanding that many people can be, but the service was absolutely amazing. Each and every person was accommodating in every fashion. The food was very fresh tasting and there was quite a variation in tastes. We had many different dietary restrictions and the restaurant was able to perform with a smile :) Would recommend this as a place for a large group/formal dinner. Did I mention the gorgeous view of the water and incredible drinks as well?
(4)Yannelis G.
I absolutely loved this place! The ambiance and the food were a perfect match my boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary here, the waiter gave us complimentary champagne with our dessert it was so generous I definitely want to come back and try brunch!
(5)Dania C.
Made a reservation for outside and when I got there they said they had no tables available. Our server was good but not very attentive. Food was good but the chicken was very dry. Overall a good experience but could've been way better.
(3)Jorge L.
The decor at Crazy About You is fantastic, modern and retro at the same time, beautiful wood floors, unique lighting fixtures, loved it walking in. Immediately greeted with complimentary still and sparkling, things are looking good. We ordered two daily lunch specials, a Fish and Chips, a pizza for Sofi, and I had the Tuna Tacos. Each plate came with apps. The salad was plain, but very nice, with big, delicious tomatoes. The croquetas were nice, crunchy and creamy. The lentil soup drew mixed reviews, one like and one didn't (I don't like lentils so didn't try it.) The main course arrived as we were still eating our apps, huge faux pas, so we quickly cleaned our plates and I stacked them next to me. The plates sat there the entire time. At first bite, everything was delicious, but half way through we all felt like there was a huge salt overload on every plate. Service was pretty dismal after the initial enthusiasm. No one approached us while we ate our mains. We had to flag down a waiter to ask for a dessert menu, and even after the order was placed, our table still had plates to be cleared. At that point, the wife remarked that there was a certain arrogance to our waiter. She followed by asking whether the fact that we all ordered lunch specials would make a waiter look down on his table. I hope that wasn't the case. Dessert came fairly quickly, a cappuccino flan. It came with whipped cream and strawberries. Definitely the best part of the meal, it was a perfect blend of chocolate, coffee, and caramel flavors. Sadly, it wasn't enough to salvage an otherwise less than average experience. Thankfully, it wasn't expensive-- $11-$15 per person. The view outside is amazing, so I would recommend Crazy About You as a great place for a dessert and after dinner drink while relaxing on the patio. Anything more than that isn't worth the effort!
(2)Xeniamaria R.
The veal churrasco was heavenly and their quinoa salad was also delicious The view is beautiful and romantic and the dress is pretty casual
(4)Alexandra B.
My favorite place in Brickell for a good hardy meal! I usually bring all of my out of town guests here for dinner since the view is amazing! Prices range from $22-26 a person and this includes an appetizer and an entree, portions are huge! I usually get the chicken cotoletta or the zucchini pasta, both are really great. House wine is also $15 for a bottle, which makes dining at this place a great time.
(5)Sharon H.
Great night out. Celebrated my boyfriend's birthday last month and we had a great time. The atmosphere is lovely and they have outdoor seating as well. The only thing is that they were out of certain wines by the glass and I wasn't interested in buying a bottle. Another bonus is that they give you a free dessert for bday but they brought it out late. But good service.
(3)Alain C.
Pros : waited 15 minutes instead of 30 to sit outside in a rush of people Food was cooked greatly with nothing overdone or burned Affordable between 40$-60-80$ per person depending on what you want. Good customer service with a small wait time for water and bread Bottom line great food, little over budget but worth because of service and the great detail worked. No cons except the wait for the bread and water Update at 1:09AM same day : significant other had bad reaction to food at restaurant, I threw up later that evening. Called the restaurant, manager named Daniel said they'd take care of our next bill and apologized for the inconvenience. June 8th : We come back for the 2nd time looking to change our opinions and maybe cash in on our offer (seems right since I spent $140 on my last bill) and food seemed to have been cooked to order. Throughout the night me and my significant other enjoyed for the most part our food. I had shrimp rice with cheese and creamy sauce, she had the churrasco with mashed potatoes...besides the fact that I had to wait for minutes before digging in because it was significantly hot(try having a plate of food put in front of you and then not being able to enjoy it because of mouth burn from first bite)....besides the fact the chimichurri had more olive oil than the waiter placed for the bread...the dessert was good except for a detail in which I've grown to accept; the strawberries that accompanied the dish tasted frozen not fresh...I've spent nearly 6 hours now it's almost 4am and I can't decided whether to sleep on my toilet seat or in the bathroom in general because my stomach has been killing me for hours. No, I'm not allergic to any foods, everything i ate last night was stuff I'd eaten before. Never returning again.
(2)Carmen P.
Best Mofongo, hands down. Also had the arroz con pollo and it was delicious. The service was great.
(4)Alfonso G.
The food and service was great but the experience in general was unpleasant because of the Valet parking.15 min waiting to give them the car and a hour waiting for somebody to give the ticket. They have an App that suppose to make this faster but does not work at all. Is not the fault of the staff they are probably understaff for the volume. Anyway if you want to eat here I recommend to come in a Uber or walking or you will have to wait an eternity to get your car.
(2)Anna S.
The ambience and the drinks is the only thing I liked. I wasn't satisfied with the food. I ordered the spicy rigatoni, it was cold and the pasta was undercooked. The Caesar salad did not taste fresh , the bread was too salty. The white seats were dirty filled with crumbs and they were uncomfortable to sit on for more then an hour. The waiter was OK,not around so much to ask how everything was. . I had stomach pain an hour after I ate so I felt the food had a lot to do with that. I wont come back here again.
(1)Nedda K.
We came here on a Friday for lunch and were so pleasantly surprised. The happy hour seems popular but wait until you eat the full menu. The coolest thing is the appetizer comes with the main! Great ambiance and really cool decor. Great date spot!!!
(5)Cindy C.
Make sure you make reservations before coming to this place! The food is great just as all of their 2 locations. Very gourmet so do not expect huge dishes. If it's not windy ask to be outside. Beautiful view!
(5)Janisse R.
The food is average. The view outside is gorgeous! and the staff was very nice. I came here for lunch had the croquettes and burgers my friend had the salmon. The lentil soup was probably the best part of our lunch meal. Parking is horrible. The view, atmosphere and staff recieve a 5 star rating. Food and parking get a 3 star rating.
(4)Daniel P.
Where lackluster food meets a beautiful view. Honestly, only go if you wanna grab some drinks because the inside is gorgeous and the outside even more so. Me and my girlfriend had 5 items and every single one was meh.
(2)Derek F.
This place literally has the worst hostess ever first of all when we got there she wasn't even attentive at all she spoke to the people behind us and could not even usher us to our table then we try to sit at a table she told us that we couldn't sit there because we are only two people and there was nobody in the restaurant then we try to sit down and the server comes up to us and assures us that we're going to have the worst service ever so at that point we just got up and left
(1)JoAnn D.
As most people say, their food is very average. Good, but not outstanding. The reason you go to Crazy About You is for the view and atmosphere. It is unbeatable. You have a view of Brickell, the ocean, and the port. Our service was great. I recommend this restaurant to anyone with out of town guests or for a romantic evening.
(4)JAmerican G.
This was my first time at the restaurant. I made the reservation 3 weeks ahead. I noted in the Open Table reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and it would be our first time visiting the restaurant, so I requested an intimate table, with a view. They called to confirm the reservation the day of, so I called back and reminded the hostess of my request. She claimed the reservation guaranteed a table, but not a location in the restaurant. I called back and asked for a manager. I explained how long ago I made the reservation and that his hostess told me that a guarantee of my request could not be honored, only a table somewhere in the restaurant. He asked what my request was and said that he would work with me. So, I thought "great" the birthday girl would get a nice table, where we could hear each other talk, and have a nice view of the bay...Instead, when we arrived the hostess told me the same thing she said over the phone. I told her that I'd already spoken to the manager about this. She went and spoke to the manager and then I saw them moving the table settings over to another table(the table they were going to give us was at the entrance to the restaurant, which would not have been intimate or with a view). The table we ended up with was a corner table near a window, which overlooked the...parking lot. So much for the view! I walked around to the far end of the restaurant and noticed that there was room on that side where they could have placed us that would have been intimate, since there was no one over there and it overlooked the bay. SMH. What's the point of making a reservation so far in advance, if they are not willing to honor it. Any other restaurant is willing to work with you, to meet your needs, especially when it's a special occasion. As for the food, it's basically the same as it's sister restaurant, Dolores, But You Can Call Me Lolita. The best part of this brand of restaurants is that they include your appetizer with your entrée, for no additional cost. The portions are small and the food is just ok. We came from Ft Lauderdale, so the food itself was not worth the trip. I had the gnocchi, which tasted like pure flour. My friend ordered some kind of brisket and she liked hers. Another ordered salmon and she was satisfied with hers. The other 2 ordered the Skinny Lolita, which was basically a flattened version of chicken breast. They said it was ok. We had dessert, but again, the portions were ridiculously small. I had the brownie, which comes with this huge plate and condiments to decorate it, but seriously, just give me a bigger brownie with all the trimmings, and a smaller plate, and that would suffice! Another issue was the parking. The restaurant is located in the Brickell area, which is basically downtown Miami. So, that means a lot of valet parking everywhere, which was fine, but when we arrived, it was raining and when we drove up the valet told us that they didn't have anymore parking spaces and since we were going to the restaurant, we need to go the valet for the restaurant, which was located at the corner. The valet also asked if we had a reservation and I told him yes. I dropped my friends off and drove down to the valet for the restaurant. He then proceeded to ask if I had a reservation...Why are the valets so concerned about that??? Isn't their job to just park the darned car???? I was starting to get the feeling that they didn't want our money! Anyway, I parked the car and walked back up, but what is the point of having valet, if it's not right at the door, especially on a rainy night!!! There was just too much hassle at this restaurant. They tried to act like a fine dining restaurant, but I've been to many of those and it's not up to par! Not worth the hassle! There are plenty of nice restaurants, with a view and nice ambiance in South Florida, that you don't have to drive for 45 minutes to get there!
(2)Ronny A.
One of the best I have ever been!! I will recommend to any one.
(5)Danieska S.
This place is adorable! I had the veil with shoe string fries and it was delicious! The dessert platter with the chocolate is very creative and fun. We sat outside and had a breathtaking view. I did not give them 5 stars because the outside seating is quite small, tight, and uncomfortable. It's a shame because those are their best seats.
(4)Ana S.
I love this place! What I love about their three priced menu (there are three lists of entrees at three different prices, and they all include one appetizer that you can choose from a single list of apps) is that no matter which price I choose, I always feel like the price was right for the food, and the food is always DELICIOUS and amazing, no matter which of the three I choose. The place is beautiful, the view is amazing and the service is generally good as well. Their cocktail menu isnt as good as Love Is Blind and the name of the place is super corny (as is the other one they opened in the Gables), but what can I say, the experience of eating there is delightful and I highly recommend it. Tip: huevos estrellados or chorizo for appetizer, sliders - pizza- pasta- or ribs for entree, brownie desert. Sit outside! Go at sunset :).
(4)Juan S.
One of the best places for a water view in Miami. Great outdoor patio. I'm not a huge fan of their food (see Lolita and Love is Blind reviews), but for a drink on the patio, it doesn't get much better.
(4)Sharon W.
I like the price fixe set up, I like the portions, the food is good and service is better than average, for Miami. What really gets this place up to 5 stars is the view! Sit outside and be wowed and happy you live in Miami!
(5)Stephanie A.
We went on a Friday night and it was a one hour wait so we opted to sit at the bar where the full menu is still offered. Drinks were amazing and packed a punch. When you order an entree, it comes with an appetizer. I had the short rib, my husband had the churrasco. Nothing extraordinary but tasty. The chorizo mashed potatoes were amazing though. I EXTREMELY enjoyed to apps of calamari flatbread and cheese plate. I could have just eaten that for my meal! Service was great. Restaurant was on the water so great for a little impromptu photo shoot afterwards. :-) Overall, great restaurant and we will be back!
(4)Madai C.
Went last night for my best friends bachlerotte dinner, it was my first time there. We were seated immediately, and serviced just as fast. I really like the place itself, very romantic ambiance, quick service, great food ! Food- LOVED the calamari flatbread !!!! And the Serrano ham croquetas !!! I also tried the goat cheese salad, which was very good too. The Peruvian Gnocchi was the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. Needless to say I ate the shrimp on the top and left the whole bowl of gnocchi. Thankfully the manager came around and was nice enough to only charge me for the salad. My best friend ordered the chicken milanes with mashed potatoes (two huge chicken breast with melted cheese and tomato sauce) she shared one of the chicken breast with me because she was full from the rest of her meal. Very tasty dish !!!
(5)Johhny B.
The 5 stars are not for the food. The food is 3.5-4 stars which is great in Miami. Food might be a 4 because of the insane value you get. I'm a big eater. So I get fed here. Iv been to all of the restaurants associated with Crazy About You. The 2 reasons I give C.A.Y. 5 stars is because of one employee. He is manager named Mark Warren. He has taken care of me at Love Is Blind and now Crazy About You. He has been more than attentive and his staff seems to love him. GIVE HIM A RAISE! ..... And reason #2 for the 5 stars.....$15 bottles of house wine ;)
(5)Jose T.
I have eaten here twice already with my wife and we've had a great experience both times. The staff is attentive and inviting, and the food is delicious. Considering the location and the ambiance, the prices aren't that over the top. Very nice place and I plan on visiting it again in the future.
(4)Steve L.
Had drinks with a friend last night out on the deck overlooking the bay/Miami Beach. Pros: - Beautiful views - Ample street parking - Excellent pour (was drinking Tequila/rocks and my date was drinking scotch/rocks). Drinks were $12 which is very reasonable for top shelf scotch and tequila - Excellent service Cons - Bar area outside is small (there is a larger bar inside) -
(5)Katherine C.
Great view. Service was average and our meal was good.. Seating is too close for comfort however you can't beat the Miami water view!!!
(3)Z-zar N.
Food was alright.. It wasn't the best, but it was good. I did however loved the view outside at night :) I was there with my girl.. she loved it.
(4)William L.
The place is nice but I had one issue after another. First was bird dropping on a plate I had, second was uncooked eggs really is it that hard to make eggs. Also realizing the website lies about they only have one seat available when there was plenty of space to sit. Lastly they wanted to sit us in a bad view of the ocean when I requested to sit outside. The food was decent but it is only a bit above Latin America
(1)Fernando C.
Outdoors seating ocean view amazing place, food was great, Andres our waiter was top notch.... great experience
(5)Cynthia F.
I loved this place! even though I'm not a big fan of dinning in Brickell due to the prices not compensating with the quality of the food, I can say that this place has it all! Good service, great cocktails, very yummy food, interesting menu, amazing view of Miami and reasonable prices... We had: Appetizer- Serrano Ham croquettes and Homemade lentil soup: AMAZING Entree Blackened Ahi Tuna with Baby Bok Choy and BB Ribs: Excellent Dessert: Cappuccino flan - Delicious

We really enjoyed our meal on the waterfront. All this dishes were good and the service was very friendly. Nice set up and decor.

I went there for my friend bday party of 8. They accommodated us just fine and the staff was really helpful also considering we went out on a Friday night. The venue is so cute and romantic for a date. The view is super pretty since its along the water. Enough about the venue, the food was AMAZING and so was the PRICE! You pick an appetizer and then entree. Choices from $18,$20$22 and they're all delicious. I had the croquetas which were sooooo good! If you love cheese then get them also if you love cheese get the Chihuaha Cheese. My friend had it and looks as good as it tastes!! Those two appetizers are a must! I had the calamari flatbread too but it wasn't out of this world. Dinner had the braised steak brasao! Omgggggg this was the best dinner of the night. I tried the short ribs which were also good but the steak basao was the best. Its thick and creamy! Everyone wanted to keep taking bites from my plate. The veal churrasco was really tender but I loved the chorizo infused mashed potatoes. I haven't been a fan of chorizo but I was after tonight. The mashed potatoes had this flavor about them that I really liked. I would definitely recommend crazy about for you for a date night and events. Overall great restaurant!

I HIGHLY recommend this place. We went here for my girlfriend's birthday with a big party of about 12-14 people. We started by the bar to give everyone the opportunity to arrive before we were seating. The bartender was great she made suggestions based off what we liked and everyone enjoyed their drinks. The bar had a couch seating area so we all waited there and this gave opportunity for everyone to converse before we sat at the dinner table. After everyone arrived we were seated and our wonderful server introduced himself as well as the specials. We ordered a couple bottles of wine and he served us as well as gave suggestions on the menu. Handling big parties is tough but our server really went above and beyond to make sure everyone was good. A couple people had to return their steaks but they were returned promptly and to their liking. He gave us complimentary champagne as well as a chocolate mouse cake for the birthday girl that was delicious! Half the table ordered the ribs the other half ordered the steak and overall everything was delicious. He took group pictures to end an already perfect night. Great scenery, exceptional service and great prices. I will definitely go again. -Melo

Went there for a 'girls night out' dinner. It was very easy to coordinate the group event with a pre fixe menu. The food is good. Drinks are awesome. This is the kind of place that come to for customer service and great evening views. It's right on the water and has indoor and outdoor seating. Marcella and Michael are great.
(4)Yanira E.
Amazing view with amazing croquetas. Must have. Staff is super nice! Food is pretty good, but you are paying for the view. Great romantic restaurant.
(5)Isabella R.
Nice place, good food. Excellent View and the attenders are fantastic. Andrea and Rebecca nice!!!!!!

Quick lunch downtown on Brickell Bay. I had no idea this restaurant was around and was a bit hard to find. Amazing view on the water, the restaurant inside is nice, clean with a great wine cellar shelf. Double terrace once you get outside so there are plenty of tables. We sat outside so enjoy the breeze and weather. Some pita bread with red pepper hummus was brought to our table. Then for lunch you have to pick between 3 menu combos appetizer + entree ($17, $20, $24). Each menu can be made with a smaller portion for the entree at a cheaper price ($14, $17, $21) I picked the menu at $17 with regular entree portion. I had the serrano ham croquettes for an appetizer and then the zucchini pasta bolognese. The croquettes were good (6 of them) but the bechamel and ham became a bit overwhelming and heavy. They were however nicely fried and not greasy at all. The zucchini bolognese were interesting. Good with LOTS of bolognese sauce (ground beef, onions and tomato sauce) and LOTS of melting cheese. You have to be ready for the amount of sauce and cheese!! All of that topped with melted parmesan! The zucchini were well cooked and thick so it really looked like fettuccine. It was nice. My friend got the croquettes as well and the sweet and spicy petit pork osso bucco. He gets this dish each time he goes there so I know it is good! No dessert, it was very filling! Great spot with a nice view. Service is nice but a bit hesitating...
(3)Jonathan P.
This place is Great!! Great view, great food, great prices!! This is something different for Brickell, each entree comes with an appetizer. The prices for the combo range from $18-25. But best of all, there are bottles of wine that are $14. And it's decent. The service is great too! They really take pride in their place and their food. The only downside is that you can't just have drinks on the terrace... you have to order a dinner. Try the short rib and chiguagua gueso!
(4)Sabrina L.
Lovely place to celebrate a birthday or any other special occasion. The location is perfect, great ocean views, soft lighting, modern and chic decor. Now, onto the food. I tried the goat cheese, spinach salad and it was ohhh so good! followed by the miso glazed salmon with creamy spinach. Both dishes were very well executed. Our waiter was extremely polite and on point....Overall, I would say our evening was a total delight.
(4)Brenda P.
I wish I could give it 3 1/2 stars. Ok, I admit I was very hungry the day I visited but it really was good. It is at the bottom of The Mark condos. You can miss it easily if you just drive down the street. Once you enter you are greeted by one of the nicest restaurant waiting areas I have ever seen. A lot of little gathering areas with varied chairs of all styles and sizes. Check out the photos I added. We did a pre game ( Heat) early dinner. The decor is simple but still elegant. The view is amazing! We did not sit outside because it was a windy and drizzling. We had a table near the windows though. Our waiter was Cesar who was very nice. Everything is priced in groups. Entrees come with an appetizer each. Any other appetizer you want is 10.00. Meals are priced in about the 14.00, 19.00 or 24.00 ( or something close to that) that's it. Each price has about 7 entrees below it. Instead of bread, they bring you these rice chips with a cold tomato soup which would have been so much better hot. The rice cakes were blah. We had the spinach, goat cheese, butternut squash salad which also had strawberries and caramelized pecans. This was soooooo good. The cheese would just melt in your mouth and the squash which I was hesitant about, worked nicely. We also had the chihuahua cheese melt which had chorizo in it. It is served with sliced, toasted bread and it was decadent and tasty as well. For dinner we had the Chilean bass and the lobster/shrimp cannelloni. That cannelloni was the best I have had in a long time! I wish I would have had 2 of them. The Chilean bass was good as well though not served too hot. Dessert options are given in a caroussel photo holder. Instead of photos they inserted tags with the names of the dessert. They all looked ok, nothing jumped out at us. One thing is for sure, they sure do like out of the norm names for everything. We chose the " message in a bottle". It is basically a wire basket with a warm brownie, strawberries, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and cinnamon powder. The catch? You have to "create" it with these ingredients and you are given a large empty plate. It was fun doing it and the brownie was good. You then write a "message" in a paper they give you and you place it in a bottle. Once a month one is chosen and given a free dinner. Ended with 2 perfect cortaditos (hear that Bongo's?). Overall it was a nice dinner with good food, nice decor, great service and beautiful views. They can improve the rice chips or do away with them and do bread. They can also improve the desserts. The one I had is creative but at the end of the day, it's just a brownie. Oh, almost forgot, wine was served in a small rounded glass. I prefer wine goblets instead. Not completely crazy about it yet but oh so close! Try this place out!

Crazy About This Restaurant! It was my Daughter's Sweet 16. We were a party of 10 and needed an 8PM reservation on a Saturday eve. I was able to get a reservation 2 weeks ahead of time. Our party was seated promptly. We had this awesome table with a really cool driftwood chandelier over us. The overall ambience was very romantic. Lots of "dates" there. Our waiter was very attentive and explained how the Menu works. There is no sharing per se. BUT- not everyone has to order an entree. You can order some Entrees (which include an app) and just some apps alone. We all passed around the dishes and shared. Every single app was out of this world! The app with potatoes, Truffle Oil and Egg on Top was to Die for. As was the Ham Croquettes. What a Wonderful experience. If I lived closer- I would come here as often as I could. The view if you are by the windows or terrace is Beautiful- but even if not, it's a beautiful restaurant. Love it LOVE IT!
(5)Julian W.
Magical place, great food, reasonable prices and amazing view! If you have a date to impress and don't have much money, this is the place!
(5)Stephanie F.
Horrible service. After the appetizers the server asked if we were ready for dessert, but we didn't even get our entrees. Then the manager was going it give us a discount, but then charged more than the original bill. Beautiful view - but looks like they need new management.
(1)Aida P.
This place is great. The ambiance is very nice. Their prices are very reasonable. Their menu allows you to have an appetizer, entree and a dessert for one price. You just choose which on You want. The churrasco is delicious as well as the short rib. Their customer service is excellent. This is a great place for a birthday, anniversary, etc. if you go ask to eat outside-the view is gorgeous. The only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is due to the fact that parking is only through valet.
(4)Nelly M.
It's a beautiful place no words to explain it. The outside view it's amazing. I really like this place so much
(5)David B.
Would not have been this bad if it was not for the humorously poor service. When trying to order one of the sides was faux risotto, when asked how they were prepared the server responded "well actually you pronounce it fox risotto and it's just like rice but not"...
(2)Jainiz S.
Fairly disappointed with service and food quality. Great view. Parking sucks.
(2)erika s.
This place is almost identical to it's sister restaurant Dolores but you can call me LOLITA. The food is good, the service is mediocre. For the price, I'd definitely go elsewhere. It's not expensive, but it's not necessarily inexpensive for what it is. It is average/ordinary. Definitely a safe choice for the picky eater, just not my style. I like adventures in food. It does have a great view.
(3)Madonna C.
I came to this restaurant with my boyfriend and another couple. Due to some scheduling issues I had to change my reservation about 3 different times. The hostesses were very understanding and helpful, even by the third time I called. Once we arrived we have to wait a little to sit down but we wanted to sit outside by the water, which was totally worth it. The food was so delicious. My entire party loved everything we ordered. Our server Joshua was very attentive and friendly, helping us with choosing dishes. After dinner, the manager passed by our table to check how everything was, something I appreciated. Overall, I would highly recommend and I'm definitely coming back!
(4)Claud Q.
I had dinner at Crazy About You on a Saturday night. We made reservations on a Thursday without any problems for 8PM. Ambiance is beautiful. Not only is the decoration modern and upscale but the view of the bay is just as stunning. We had some great wine and salmon and the short ribs for dinner. The ribs were amazing, so soft and flavorful. The Serrano ham croquettes are a little overrated in my opinion, I wished I had ordered something else. They were very simple. My husband ordered the Mediterranean appetizer and it was really good. For dessert we tried the "It's not an actual 'Cheesecake'" which was delicious. Our server was very helpful, checked in on us often - but not too much, and provided excellent service. Would definitely recommend the restaurant and I'm looking forward to returning so I can try more dishes. The only reason I didn't give it the full star rating is because the restaurant can get really loud and the temperature was really cold.
(4)Natacha M.
It was my first time going after many referrals. I truly wanted to see what the hype was about. Valentine's Day! There was a two hour wait since we didn't make reservations but the time flew by and the service was great. We a had a drink and appetizers with an amazing view. Once we were seated I was completely satisfied with the food. Very tasty! The menu is a bit small and the options are limited but none the less great.
(4)AshleyMarie O.
Great prices- same owner as Dolores Lolita but I find the food much more desirable - went with a group of 6 or 7 and ate on the back patio Noone was complaining as we all tasted each others EVERYTHiNGG. Yummm The prices are on a fixed menu- You pick your entree then the price of the total meal is determined by your choice of entree- Go- Sit outside- enjoy the view, the food, the service and your company :0)
(4)Didi O.
I went to Crazy About You this past weekend for a romantic date. First of all the place is so nice, the place is full of candles and nicely decorated. The host and server were really welcoming and the service was good. A couple of times the manager came to the table to make sure everything was going well. The food was OUTSTANDING! We ordered the springrolls, the chihuahua cheese caserole and the buttersquash, goat cheese and spinach salad as apetizers. They were all delicious. As main entrees we ordered the veal churrasco and the salmon w zuchini. It was impecalble. I have no complains whatsoever. I recommend that if you go and want to seat outside you make reservations ahead of time that way you avoid the waiting. Definitely going back!
(5)Dee N.
My friend and I were visiting the Miami Area and had Dinner at "Crazy about you". Fabulous food and wonderful atmosphere with a view of the Bay. A good variety of meal options. The food was fantastic! My friend was very happy with her meal so was I. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!
(5)Dee C.
Absolutely amazing! The service, food& atmosphere. I took my fiancé there for his birthday, and from the moment we walked in through the front door the service was great. The decor inside is very nice. We sat outside in the covered patio because the night was perfect. My fiancé got the chicken with the arugula salad and it was perfect, as an appetizer he has the calamari flatbread and that was Delish! I had the croquettes as an appetizer and the churrasco with chorizo mashed potatoes and that was delicious as well. The waiter was great. She even brought out a desert for my fiancé which said happy birthday. We plan on coming back with family so that they can experience what we did. Highly recommended!
(5)Lourdes A.
Brunch!! Had that Spinach Quinoa Salad and the Grilled Short Rib Benedict.... Outstanding!! I am officially hooked on the salad.. Sat outside and was able to enjoy the gorgeous view of the water!!! Will return...!
(5)Gabrielle R.
I love this place.. I live next door so it's like going to a friend's house and getting a drink and dinner.. It's a cute little spot that'll brighten up any day.. And that ocean view.. Breathless.. Keep it up..
(5)Katrina B.
Crazy About You gets four stars from me mainly because of the beautiful waterfront view/seating and the inexpensive house wine bottle selection - $15 gets you far in this restaurant. Two food items that I love here are the serrano ham croquettas and the veal churrasco. The service is okay. I've had experiences where it was phenomenal and others that left a lot to be desired, but for the most part, the beautiful waterfront views do enough to distract me from those small moments of disappointment. Valet is quite expensive ($10-15) so I suggest that you park in Mary Brickell if you're commuting to the restaurant and walk it the 5 minutes over.
(4)Ryan M.
For the entire dinning and drinks Brickell experience, this place rocks. Unbelievably low prices. The meals come with so much, so bring your appetite. I am curious to see some of their sister locations.
(5)Jennifer C.
Overall had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The menu has a great selection with some creative options. I ordered the filet medium rare and it wasn't over-cooked (a big problem when you like your meat still mooing). The view is lovely and they have fans on the patio. However, if it's due for a downpour it could be risky to sit outside even though it's covered. It was a little noisy for a more formal atmosphere - I wish they would have turned down the music inside of the restaurant. I was here on a date and it was difficult to talk without shouting. Full bar was nice with a great variety and good well liquor. The cocktail menu, however, was a little too sweet and fruity. If you like a more bitter cocktail or one without tons of sugar then you're going to need order your liquor neat or with a splash of tonic.
(4)Rachael H.
Went to Crazy About You this past Friday. I had made a reservation for 7 pm so there was absolutly no wait time. We also got lucky enough to be able to sit outside where the view is fantastic! Service was great as well. We were given pita chips and red pepper hummus as a starter I guess, which I assuming is unlimited because we were asked if we wanted any more. I started withe the Fried avocados, which in my opinion were a little to salty, but the breading was great. My boyfriend had a tortilla with ham & cheese plate which he didnt seem to have an issue with. For the entrees, I had the Blue Fin Tuna Carpaccio with seaweed salad. MY only complaint...I wanted more! My boyfriend had the Tiger Shrimp Snapper plate with mashed potatos that were really good as well. For dessert, we ordered the Message in a Bottle plate. I will say that it wasn't a life changing dessert, obviously, but it's the fact that you can assemble the dessert yourself that makes it good. All in all, for $50 it was a great diner, with a great view!
(4)Grisel L.
My coworkers took me here before I left on maternity leave. At 38 weeks preggo I had no taste buds, I just devoured anything in site! The view is spectacular, but the food isn't anything out of this world. It's edible don't get me wrong, but it comes with a price tag that I'm not too crazy about.
(3)Cynthia M.
I've heard of this place before and have been to their sister restaurant Dolores but you can call me Lolita so I know the food had to be good and it wasn't, it was awesome and sitting over looking Biscayne Bay just made it even better. I had the serrano ham croquettes (just like Dolores which are the best in town by the way), the chichuahua cheese with chorizo appetizer (cheesy goodness), and the risotto with shrimp that took me to heaven and back. Everything was delicious. Even just for drinks this place ranks in my book as one of the best not only for the taste of their food, but also the ambiance, service, and low prices.
(5)True B.
Awesome atmosphere and decor. The food is very good. I mean how can you snobs complain for 20-25 bucks you get a entree and a great appetizer. Its not like you payed mad money, and u ain't at the fountain blue. If u want that caliber of food go there or go to Nobu and spend 250$ for 2 people. I love it here my boyfriend and I had a amazing romantic meal here on the water. The have a decent house wine for like 12$ a bottle what? Wow. And desserts are like 3-5$ so you can try a few. We love it here and will always go back. My boyfriend is a vegetarian and they always have something for both of us. I like Lolita's too especially happy hour!
(5)Alex M.
There is nothing crazy about the restaurant.. There are variety of dishes served, the prices are fair having in mind that it's in Brickell, and it has nice views of the bay. Make sure you park in public parking if not valet will cost you $10-.

After hearing about this place, we decided to stop by on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. Appetizers: Serrano ham croquetta's- DE-lish, just like at "Delores..Lolita's". The serving was good, too. About 5-6 croquettes. Calamari flatbread- meh. This was okay, but nothing to write about. Entrees: I had the Kobe sliders with shoestring fries. mmmmmmm! The sweet onions were so yummy, the thousand islands dressing was just right and lets not forget about the shoestring fries! Surprisingly big serving, as well. Happy Tummy ;) My hubby ordered the Pork Osobucco with mofongo mash. The pork was DRENCHED with a WHOLE lotta' sweet/spicy/tangy-ish BBQ sauce. Needless to say, he didn't like it at all :/. I tried it and agreed it was waaaay too much sauce. The mofongo mash had the sauce on it, too, so we couldn't even catch the flavor of it. Completely ruined the meal. Don't get me wrong, the sauce didn't taste "bad", but it was just too overpowering. We decided to share my sliders, had 1 each, and shared the shoestring fries (and there was still some left-over when we were done). The waitress noticed he didn't touch his meal and agreed that sometimes the sauce can be too much. She told us she was going to tell her manager to take it off the bill- which was totally nice and unexpected. The manager came by and introduced herself, blah blah blah, all was well until we received the bill. Mind you, I'm not a cheap person, AT ALL. We weren't even expecting them to take it off the bill. With that being said, they charged us a nice $10 "sharing" fee instead. Uh, REALLY? His plate was $16.99. They basically took a whopping $6.99 off our bill. Still a nice gesture, I guess. But we were kinda forced to share since he didn't like his plate. Whaaaatever, there goes the double tip I was going to leave the waitress for the "nice gesture" :) Would we go again? Maaaaybe if we are in the area, hungry, on a nice day, and feeling adventurous. Anywho, 3 stars for that.
(3)JOHN H.
Pros: great place for groups. My wife and i took out a group of 7 for dinner with 4 bottles of wine and the total was $250 with tip. pretty solid! food was good not great. place has a great view of Biscayne Bay. Cons: Service is horrible, waited 20 min to get our food order in and the waiter pretty much abandoned us once he finally delivered the food. *we all had fun, but i prefer "Dolores but you can call me Lolita" (owned by the same group CAY)
(3)Dominic S.
Great food, great value, and fantastic views! We booked this place for our wedding reception dinner at a very reasonable price. They let us set up early and accomodated us even when guests showed up late. The food was all excellent and they made sure our wine glasses were always full. Definitely a place worth checking out and be sure to order the calamari flatbread!
(5)Vanessa M.
This place might be crazy about me, but I am certainly not crazy about it. Don't get me wrong. It's a beautiful space in a stunning location, service is decent, and they made me a great caipirinha. However, I just wasn't impressed by the food at all. It's a prix fixe menu, so each guest has to order an individual appetizer and an entree (it's a pretty good deal). The calamari flatbread was the only thing I really enjoyed eating. For my entree I ordered the short ribs with truffle mashed potatoes. The meat was dry and the truffle mash lacked oh, I don't know...truffle? My less fussy-eating family did enjoy their meal, though and we all loved the Message In a Bottle brownie dessert.
(2)Ru F.
So! This is a review based on 3 visits. A business lunch, some after work drinks with friends and a romatintic birthday dinner with my husband. Ambiance: This place is beautiful, the best time to go is after 4pm when the sun is down but there is still plenty of natural light out. Be sure to grab a table in the terrace or down below next to the boardwalk. Food: Although the have a very limited menu and does not rotate to often, so far all of the things i've had have been great. Strongly reccomend: Starters- goat cheese/butternut squash salad and the huevos estrellados Entrees- From Peru w Love (gnocchi in yellow chili sauce), the Orange roughy w sauteed spinach and the Applewood short rib with mashed potatoes Dessert- Capuccino flan Service: Lunch can be a bit slow, but dinner was served very quickly. Servers are very polite and knowledgeable of the menu. My favorite server is Luis. Value: After our last experience (dinner), we think this is probably the best dinner deal in Brickell. We paid $65 incl tip and we got: - 1 bottle of the house cabernet - 1 Mexican caprese salad - 1 Huevos estrellados - 1 gnocchi in yellow chili sauce - 1 Applewood short rib - 1 capuccino flan I strongly reccomend this place. The only reason Im not giving it 5 stars is the limited menu choices.
(4)Ozzy R.
After a crazy week of work and wedding planning I wanted to have dinner with my lovely by the water and this little place hit the spot. They have a good menu.that goes in sections and price which makes it really easy to order. I suggest to get a spot outside to take advantage of the view and ambiance. The service was on spot from the moment we walked in until we left. The server greeted us and sat us promptly and took our order right away. You wouldnt think a place like this would be in brickell but i can see how it has done good. I hope to stars move up because i have heard nothing but good things about this place. The food tasted great and the bottle of wine hit the spot as we dined.
(4)Jaimé S.
My partner and I just ate here earlier around sunset. Everything from the food, atmosphere and staff were awesome. We were sat immediately. My partner who is a very picky eater loved everything he ate. He had the calamari flatbread which I tried and the pizza diavola (pepperoni). I had the Asian spring rolls which I thought would be from frozen but they weren't and the From Peru with love Gnocchi with Salsa de Aji Amarillo and Shrimp which I absolutely loved. Everything was well seasoned and very flavorful. All entrees come with an appetizer. Our server Christian was absolutely wonderful, something not seen in Miami. He was friendly, suggestive, attentive. He also helped draw our picture for the message in a bottle dessert. Made a dolphin on the sunset, since we just saw dolphins in the water. Made a very memorable first night in Miami for our 7th anniversary. Manager also came to the table repeatedly checking to see how everything was. We will definitely be back and recommend to anybody.
(5)Jesus R.
Excellent service and great food!
(4)Stephanie N.
We went back. We still had a good time, the place is beautiful, the view is amazing and the prices are some of the best in town only this time, the food was definitely not. We got a bottle of their house merlot which was $14 and actually really good, a total steal! For apps, I got the croquetas, which were creamy and super tasty, Andy got the chihuaha cheese which was tasty but on the cold side and looked like it had been sitting out for a while. For entrees, I had the tuna carpaccio with seaweed salad (which I've had before at Lolita) and Andy got the osso bucco. My tuna was on the fishy side and Andy's osso bucco was room temperature. No bueno. We did get a side of fries, though and they were super yummy and crunchy. You still can't beat their prices, I guess it just wasn't a good night for them.
(3)Elizabeth D.
Crazy About You is a superficially good restaurant. The location and ambiance are fantastic and completely impressive. I can see romantic dates starting off pretty damn well here. The food is a different story - zzzzzZZzzz. - Fish Sliders - No. Something I could have made at home. We actually had to send this back. - Calamari Marinheiro - Ok. Supposed to be avocado, tomato, red onion and calamari. There was maybe 1 total piece of avocado in there, and the calamari was"meh" in terms of flavor. Again, not super exciting. - Huevos Estrellados - Imagine a situation where a Denny's skillet is an appropriate appetizer. There you go. - Serrano Ham Croquettas - Thank god for this appetizer. Just get this if you're stuck here already. On the bright side, our server was fantastic and extremely attentive. The two bottles of wine we downed (the house wine, actually) was great. If you're at Crazy About You - go outside, overlook the beautiful Brickell Key, and kick it with a bottle of their house wine. Leave the food to someone else.

Vastly overrated (red-headed step) sister restaurant to Dolores. Great bay views and pretty indoor dining room, but after two strikes I was out. Tried them for both dinner and lunch, and was incredibly disappointed on both occasions.
(2)Jill W.
So we have been coming to this restaurant since it opened -- great views and ambiance, but food, well, some nights better than others. Went back last night after last visit in January. WOW!! Food: GREAT!! Ordered the Spinach salad which usually comes with way too much dressing. Perfect. Then the healthy chicken: Amazing. It was pounded so flat that I first thought it was a tortilla -- but it was incredibly tasty and topped with a spinach/mushroom sauté both in a quantity that I couldn't finish. CAY has definitely upped their game , as well as the portion sizes. Add the view, ambiance and PRICE. $135.00 for four which included 3 beers and 2 glasses of wine. Back on the favorite list!!!
(5)Julie G.
The ambiance is nice, but the food was mediocre and overpriced. The service was ok. I would not go back. It's a shame because the place is beautiful.
(2)Rae C.
Good selection of appetizers that were included with an entree. The Serrano Ham Croquees were really good but the Calamari al Pepperoncini Flatbread was amazing as well as the Faux riso. Great location overlooking the ocean with nice ambiance.
(4)Billy B.
Oh my... where do i start... Went for lunch here today for the first time and i was not impressed of this place at all! I decided to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful Miami weather, the view was nice, mostly looking and facing at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the Key Biscayne, other than this, there is nothing to be " crazy about this place".. Service...waited for almost 15 minutes before someone came to the table, Oh noooo, thats a negative already.. the chairs and tables were dirty! There were 3 category ( by price) menu with appetizers included.. Well, i said, let's try something.. i got the calamari on a flat bread as a starter and a grilled chicken sandwich... The appetizer came in after 20 minutes of waiting more or less... a couple who came in much later, got their food first ahead of us????? Another " Oh noooo", negative.... The calamari was ok, nothing impressive, but my boyfriend who ordered the spring roll was happy with what he was nibbling, maybe, because of the thai sweet sauce!! Now here comes another bummer... the chicken sandwich, oh my... the bun looked terrible,...where do they shop for buns? from a dollar store? the bun was small, .wrinkled, and soggy!! Now let us talk about the chicken, it was dry and burnt! I did not enjoy my food at all... My boyfriend on the other hand, got the steak with portobello mushroom with some type of rice,....the rice looked like an emesis!! the steak seemed like it was cooked from a crock pot and was reheated!! and the carrots and sweet peas were over cooked!!! OMG, it was a disaster! The manager had the audacity to compliment us for ordering his 2 favorite menu in the house!! Say whaaat??? For the price that we paid, the food and the experience were not worth it at all!! This is all i gotta say to this place.." I am NOT Crazy about you!" and definitely not coming back!
(1)Jayme C.
Love the location and decor about this place but the service was a chaotic fiasco. It started with the waitress not being able to remember the bottle of wine that we ordered to the end of service not being able to put 6 bills together! It provided unnecessary stress for our party. This wasn't my first time here and was disappointed by the quality of service. I wouldn't rule this place out but be aware and def coome in being patient if with a big party. I recommend the calamari, short rib, risotto, and the steak. all cooked well!

We had dinner in this restaurant on March 5th, 2014. It was a great experience! I would definitely recommend this place. Our waiter was Carlos. The service was excellent! He was really attentive, professional and fast. The food was amazing and we did not have to wait for a long time. The place is not overpriced. The area outside is very beautiful. We will definitely come back!
(5)Andre C.
I highly recommend Crazy About You! This is a unique Miami experience, with a stunning view of Biscayne Bay. Spotlessly clean. Moderately priced menu. Delicious food. Young attractive crowd. Valet is $10 & busy.
(4)Michelle S.
Nice romantic date experience as a first time candle lit dinner...Not so crazy about the food.
(3)Bryan D.
It's been almost a year since I've been back, but not because it sucked. Both the food and view were amazing! The service was good! The appetizer, which was a calamari flat bread pizza was to die for... followed by a nice juicy steak with fries.

I finally visited this place after hearing about it from friends for months. I had high hopes because of it's connection to "Lolita" ... but that's where the comparisons end. The best part of this place was the view. We got a table outside... it was one of those Miami nights that reminds you just how lucky we are to live here. Ordered the gnocchi... it was okay... nothing I'll ever be dreaming about... but definitely filling. The second best part was the dessert. We ordered the brownie with ice cream that comes with the basket to make your own sundae. We had fun coming up with some sort of message to put in the gigantic bottle. I wish I had something better to say about this place. They need to spice up the menu a bit to make me want to go back. Glad we picked it because it was a good place to showcase Miami to the out-of-town friends we were hosting... but that's about it.
(2)Jorge G.
Service was bit slow at first but got better at end. Food was excellent. Short ribs were excellent as was the gnocci. Croquetas to start as well as calamari flatbread. Will be back.
(4)Victor G.
The appearance, presentation, and location of the restaurant is nice. We went for a birthday dinner and they were also pretty nice about it (free cup of jello shots). The actual taste of the food was not that good. The chicken was pretty bland and not as big as I was expecting for the amount of money I was paying; but I guess I was paying for presentation rather than the actual food.
(3)Ray D.
Trendy atmosphere is super and on the water in Brickell area. Excellent 5 star service and the food is very good. Great time with a large party. Well priced unique entrees include an appetizer from a large selection.
(5)Diego D.
View is phenomenal, service is very good. The house wine is poor, but at $14 it was more my mistake for not ordering of their pretty good wine menu. Lentil soup is great as well. Highly recommend.

As I usually walk by Crazy About You when I walk the pup and already am obsessed with the view, it was such a treat to dine here. We actually attended a civil wedding ceremony on a Thursday and I was surprised at how nice it turned out. The party reserved two large tables and had a special menu for the event. We were able to sample some of the delicious croquettes and queso findido as well as breaded chicken for main course. All the servers were quick and attentive. The atmosphere in the restaurant was romantic and a perfect setting for this event. After it was over we enjoyed some drinks at the outdoor bar with the lovely view of the bay!
(4)Laura W.
I give them one star for the decor and ambiance and one star for....ok both stars are for that because there is absolutely no other reason to go back here. The drinks were mixed poorly by a good looking and VERY rude bartender. It took 40 minutes to be seated with a reservation. The waitress didn't know a thing about any of the food. NOTHING!! I have Celiac's so all I need to know is what has bread or flour. That's not that hard. rust me its not. The kids that work at my local Taco Bell know more about the food the serve than the girl that waited on us here. I totally understand needing to go ask the chef. That's fine. But this girl didn't seem like she knew what flour was. If she did she didn't have the ability to convey it in English. As for the food, I was there for a birthday dinner so I was with 5 or so other people. No one really liked their meals. Everyone gave just an "eh." when asked how their food was. If you want mediocre food at elevated prices go to Delores...Lolita. Its by the same people and It won't make you sick. That's right this place made me sick. And not sick from gluten. I had the caprese salad and it made me so sick I couldn't eat the veal I had ordered. Before I got so sick we had to leave, the salad was ok. I liked the addition of guac to the good old Italian classic and but the nausea hit me like a brick wall waiting for the next course. I I wont go into details but my body rejected that salad like Wade rejects an opponents dunk. All I can figure is that the mozzarella was past its date. No Bueno.
(2)Rebecca S.
I made reservations a month ago for my birthday. Even though the restaurant states that they don't guaranteed outside seating I made a request to take into consideration the occasion and the reservation was made for 4pm and I thought they will give me the outside seating...because how many people eat dinner a Thursday at 4pm? Well I was truly disappointed because the rude hostess told us that they had a private party outside apparently they DO guaranteed outside seating when their wallets are full enough from a party. They sat us at a table that didn't even have table cloths and when requested for one they said they didn't have table cloths for those tables. For the amount of money we paid at that restaurant I could have had a better experience for my birthday. I won't be going again. Brickell is full of restaurants to settle for mediocre service.
(2)Ray S.
fun place to have dinner very slow service but the food was first class
(3)Julie W.
Very romantic. We had a great time. Service was A+, food was very good, place is charming, and for Miami - a AWESOME value.
(5)Nikki R.
Loved this place! The view outside is amazing! The food was good and so were the prices. The brownie with ice cream was to die for!
(5)Joseluis A.
no, im not crazy about you, crazy about you, youre ok. even though the decor is nice and the bartender was very nice and smiley. i was just not crazy about dinner and heres why. an establishment that charges you $10 to share and appetizer, where an entree is $25, i just expected a little more attention to detail. silverware. yeah. new silverware. a set for the appetizer and a brand new set for my entree. that is all. other than that, service was attentive and helpful and the food was good. i had the little ossobucco. made with a sweet and spicy sauce. i was here celebrating my friends birthday, we were a large group of friends. my dinning experience was ok so three solid stars. spoil me a bit more, get me clean silverware, make sure theres always wine on the table and keep my water refilled and this is a four star restaurant. nice view. seems like a good place for happy hour if youre into the brickell scene.
(3)Dubhe M.
Not so Crazy about You! Cool location, great appetizers, and the meals weren't too bad themselves...only dissappointment - liquor inventory :( I ask for three different shots (not publishable :)), and one ingredient was always missing - even with huge selections behind the glass case. TIP: Great for dates- has a nice section by the water. For wine and appetizers its ideal :)
(3)Megan T.
Okay, so I admit that I'm a foodie. I LOVE going to a great restaurant and having a great experience. If this experience doesn't cost me the price of a Gucci bag, even better. There were 2 reasons I loved Crazy About You and it's sister restaurant Delores but You Can Call Me Lolita. Great atmosphere and affordable food. You know what they say though. You get what you pay for. This has proven true for me at both of these wannabe upscale restaurants. Crazy About You started off with a bang. Gorgeous decor, waterfront dining and lots of candles. Sounds amazing, and it was. But, after several experiences at this very Miami, very chic spot I have to say I'm calling quits. On an outing to celebrate my sisters first trip to Miami and her graduation from college, I left more than disappointed. Great vibe. Check. Good service. Check. We started off fine. Problem number one. A group of 3-4 families with 8-10 children sitting next to us. Why this family opted to spend $20 a person for their 7 year old's birthday party rather than heading out to Chuckie Cheese, I will never know. The parents and the kids looked miserable. Problem number two. Acoustics. One of the things I most love about going out for dinner is spending time talking with my loved ones. When I say that Crazy had the worst acoustics of any restaurant I have ever been to, I am not exaggerating. We couldn't hear the waiter, he couldn't hear us, we couldn't hear each other and apparently the parents of the screaming kids next to us couldn't hear their children screaming. Unbearable is an understatement. The Worst and Final Problem. Average food. The food wasn't bad. It just wasn't good. Two TINY kobe sliders and some fries for $23 is not okay. The best item on the menu, the Calamari flatbread, went from huge to the size of a slice of bread and was so soggy it had to be scooped up with a fork. A few other dishes were passable, but again, not awesome. All in all, I'm disappointed. I don't mind spending money on a great experience, but looking at my receipt this morning I just feel a sting. A night out with family and friends is more than just dinner, it's a memory. And this memory is one that I'd rather forget.
(2)Rula S.
Great concept, but seriously BAD food. The free old pita bread and the smashed garbanzo beans are better left on the table. We ordered fried avocado, Caesar salad and the Asian spring rolls-all 3 appetizers were meh...the avocado and spring rolls were really greasy. We had 2 NY strip steaks and salmon for our meals...this was one of the worst steaks I've ever had. The salmon was also meh. The side of veges were the type you would buy frozen and were tossed with some balsamic vinegar. This place lacks anything to rave about, besides the view. I suggest going on an date here-sit outside and have a bottle of wine. Go elsewhere to eat!
(1)Fernando B.
First of all, do not leave your car in the Valet Parking. It's horrible. They took forty minutes to bring back our car and they did not respect the order in which people arrived, but instead assisted whoever they wanted. Extremely noisy. The food is okay. I would not return.
(1)Janelle B.
Once again I made my way back to CAY and this time I brought 7 friends who had never been. The concept is great and they all really couldn't believe all of the options for such a small price (the most expensive appetizer and entree combination is about $23). Everyone ordered something different so we could all taste a bit of everything. The flash fried avocados were delicious, the calamari flatbread is huge and never disappoints, the croquettas are heavenly, and the cheese and chorizo spread is also very good. For dinner we had the lentil soup, broccoli and cheese soup, the pizza, the dolphin and tuna sliders with fries, and the salmon and vegetables dish. All were very tasty!!
(4)Fabian A.
Great trendy inside. They have a fish entree (not sliders) that I can't remember the name, but it is PHENOMENAL! They also have an appetizer that I think was egg and chorizo in a skillet, which was awesome. Make reservations! The front part is a cool trendy little bar to get drinks and appetizers.
(4)Maureen U.
Beautiful restaurant, with great prices and view. I've been going there for a long time and have always had a great experience...but I guess it is because it was always a small group. I took a party of 14 last night for dinner before an event, and it was a DISASTER! The staff seemed like we were the first big party they've ever served. It was ridiculous! Despite us asking for separate checks, they of course brought us all one check. The food took a very long time, and we ended up being late to the event. But overall, the most disappointing thing for me (and why I will never go again) was how rude everyone was. They weren't apologetic for the wait time or how upset everyone was, instead they acted like we were a nuisance to them. If you don't like big groups, then don't accept reservations for big groups!
(1)Lissa B.
I went here for my birthday dinner upon a recommendation from my best friend. She had been and told me it was a neat menu concept, good prices, and a posh atmosphere. Well, it was everything she promised. Because it was a little chilly that night, and I'm "friolenta", we sat inside near the window. It was a trendy design, had great ambiance, and seemed to balance the clean modern design with character and personality just perfectly. They have a pretty nice variety in their wine list and I was pleased to see they served a Syrah by the glass. Many restaurants just rely on Cabernet to fill the place of their full body wine offering and call it a day. Syrah is such a nicer and more complex full body wine, so I'm always impressed to see it sold by the glass at a restaurant. After I ordered a glass and really enjoyed the flavor, my date suggested I get the bottle since, hey, its my birthday, we don't have anywhere to be and I'm not driving. So I agreed. I asked my waitress if we could get the bottle and have the glass count toward the bottle. Now, since I am a restaurant manager, I know this can be done, and epecially since the bottle is already served by the glass, they would just have to pour a glass out and give me the rest of the bottle. However, some restaurant managers act like this is a big deal, so I held my breath. She spoke to her manager, who agreed to do this for me. Kudos, you know how to manage. Their menu concept is almost like an extended Miami Spice menu; you choose one appetizer and then one entree. Depending on which entree you choose, your meal falls into one of three price points, the most expensive being only $25. Everything looked interesting and seemed to be latin inspired with acontemporary execution and there were a few items I wasn't familiar with. I asked my waitress the big and broad "what's good" question. She was more than willing to help me decide, describe in detail what the dishes were like, and make enthusiastic personal recommendations. I went with the calamari flat bread. My date was more decisive than I and ordered the spinach artichoke dip. My flatbread: great. The spinach dip: not great. Although nicely presented, it lacked inspiration, flavor and texture. This was the only downside of the meal. However, they replaced the dish with another choice without any fuss or frustration and the meal continued on without much more than a hiccup. For entrees, I can't pass up a good churrasco with chimi-churri sauce. My date had a flakey white fish. We both enjoyed our entrees. The shoe-string fries that came with my churrasco were a little hard and could have used some sort of seasoning or herbs or something, but not a big deal. After dinner I was enjoying the wine and out came a birthday dessert complete with a candle. First thing I can say, the presentation was gorgeous! The chef wrote on a big white plate in the thinest chocolate syrup strings a very fancy Happy Birthday and made garnishes with whipped cream and strawberries. In the corner of the plate sat an ice cream dessert with strawberry and grahm cracker crust at the bottom. It was delicious, and I'm not even much of a dessert person. At the end of the meal the manager personally brought the check, acknowledged the spinach dip, asked for our honest feedback and thanked us for coming in. He was professional, courteous, and personable. After we paid, we took the rest of our bottle out onto the patio, since I heard it was such a great view. We sat near the patio bar and looked out over the waterfront. Gorgeous views. All in all, the service was great, the ambiance was great, the food was good enough, and if given the chance to go back, I certainly would. Bonus: bathrooms were clean, had lots of full-length mirrors, and had little individual cups of listerine and dental floss. Nice touch.

Great ambiance, not so crazy about the food... If you're looking for a beautifully decorated restaurant with a great view, this place is def worth a try. The outdoor seating area overlooks Brickell Key and the Bay (great for a date) and the inside is warmly decorated with funky details and a cute little wine cellar. Although you can't beat the affordable prices ($20 prix fixe menu includes one entree and an app) and $13 wine bottles, the food, however, is not impressive. The croquettes and antipasto are good, so is the pizza, but don't expect to be wowed on the culinary end. Crazy About You is like going to your posh friend's house for a dinner party. She knows how to entertain but when it comes to cooking, the poor broad falls short. All in all, this resto gets my vote solely for its swanky decor, cool bar, fun atmosphere and cheap wine prices.
(3)Alex H.
This, just like Dolores (in the main part of Brickell; just off Mary Brickell), and also owned and operated by the same owner, is a classic Prix Fixe restaurant. What's Prix Fixe? Fundamentally, there are three prices for multiple selections of foods. A low, medium, and higher price are the three groupings. Each order allows for you to get an appetizer and an entree for one of the fixed prices. In this case, $16 / $20 / $24 are the group amounts. All appetizers are available to all groups. The entrees are the only differences. Portion sizes are ok, but not amazingly large. The appetizer size was smaller than ideal, but was VERY good in the taste. I had the Serrano Ham Croquettes, which were amazingly flavored. I was somewhat sad that there were so few, but it was an appetizer after all. As a main course, I had Salmon which was a reasonable size, but once again, I felt as if I could have just a little bit more. Maybe I'm just greedy with portion sizes. For desert, we had a "Message in a Bottle" which essentially is a "make your own brownie ice cream desert". When you get this desert, you get to enter your name in a giant Jack Daniels bottle for a free meal (for two). Alas, doesn't seem we won, oh well! Bottom Line: Good, but not amazing. Worth a visit if you like Prix Fixe menus.
(3)Brad B.
It wasn't all that. The food was mediocre. I wouldn't go back. The sliders were ok. I wasn't impressed at all. My family hated it. No one had anything good to say about their meals. My fiance' and I felt sick after. We both had the runs. Save your money and don't go.
(2)Alex R.
I went to this place for the first time with a large group of friends this weekend and i loved it.The decor chic/beach condo and very good looking people, most of them single I assume. The food was also very good and well priced... Check out the wine list, very reasonable. We ended up having about 7 bottles that night (don't judge me!), we were a big group. I like how the menu is set up. You pick an entree and the appetizer is included in the price. Good idea! I had the short-ribs and the Spinach and Squash salad as an appetizer, both were great. The short-ribs could have been slow cooked a couple of more hours to make them a little more tender, but good! I also had a taste of the lobster cannelloni, very creamy/cheesy with a lot of flavor. I'll be back soon!

Maybe I am getting ahead of myself with the five stars. Being that this is my first review on Yelp I'm sure I'll learn it takes much more than what I know now to be as generous as to give a place the best rating possible. But although I am new to Yelp, or reviewing in general, I am NOT at all new to dining. I know a good place, good food, good ambiance, atmosphere and service when I encounter it. My first experience at Crazy About You was a surprise girls dinner for my birthday. They had me the second I walked out to the terrace and saw the panoramic view of Key Biscayne, Brickell Key and South Beach. ::sigh:: The $13 bottle of house Cab was not too shabby either. I have a hard time finding a good bottle at the market for that much! My favorite dish was by far Mikey's Braised Short Rib over Arborio Rice in a Creamy Sauce... Oh...My...God..... My second time around was with another group of girlfriends for one of their birthdays. There seemed to be a lot of unadventurous eaters and still everyone was beyond satisfied. Pizza and sliders makes it easy to come here with your "chicken and fries" kinda friends. I on the other hand had the calamari flatbred, Chihuahua Cheese Casserole (another favorite) and the Veal Churrasco... A-Friggin-Mazing! All of it! Another great night at Crazy about you The last time I went was about 3 weeks ago. I took my parents who seem to stick to their familiar holes in the wall (which I don't blame them for) but are not at all interested in discovering a new spot. We ordered and ate "family style" Our favs that night were the Linguini Di Mare, The famous Lolita Croquetas and the Mojito Jello for dessert. Please try this if its still available, especially if you're a fan of mojitos. You will NOT be disappointed. The night was a success with the folks. So much so that they made reservations for Valentines day. I told them they were brave and should not expect the same experience on such a busy night. But I received a phone call from them around 11pm after their 3rd bottle of wine, raving about the food, the service and the price. They must have closed the place down that night because they did not sound anywhere near ready to go and yet were surely able to do so without breaking the bank. In all experiences the service has been on point. Every waiter made it difficult to say no to anything with their elaborate descriptions. The decor, the comfy chairs, the low light, the view, the PRICE, so many reasons why this place deserves five stars. Any restaurant can get that from someone one night, but their consistency, at least in my experience, makes it well deserved. I'm even going to allow myself to be a total cheese ball and say "I am CRAAAZY about Crazy About You"
(5)J M.
Went with some friends for the first time on a Friday night. We were sat outside in the terrace which I'm sure is usually a lovely experience but not when it's July summer heat in Miami. We kept looking up hoping that a fan or mister would miraculously appear. I like the way the menu pricing is setup. I didn't like to see a $10 sharing fee. I like their bar area and the decor. Great for drinks. I would probably go back again with friends. However, for me, I have limited food options since I don't like to eat meat. I like to eat light late at night so I settled on the fish sliders. So will wait a minute before I go again.
(3)Natalie Z.
My friends kept on talking about this place not stop, so i decided to give it a try.... sadly i must say that even though is good, the overall experience was not mind blowing. the food is tasty, but nothing special, and the desserts get away just because they have weird names, once again nothing i havent tried before. the service on the other hand was very attentive and the view of the bay incomparable.
(3)Red J.
MORE OF A 3.5. This place really surprised me... pleasantly. When I first walked in, I expected dinner here to cost us an arm and a leg... however it didn't! On the contrary, the dinner here was a great deal. When I first saw the drink menu and the Friday night crowd that was there, I expected a snotty place with high prices. Instead, it wasn't either! While some of the people there were some trendy snobsters, a lot of the other people were groups celebrating birthdays or some other occasion. The dinner consists of 3 prices which corresponds with three sections. There's pizzas, pastas, and then meats. Each dinner comes with an appetizer so I thought that was totally cool and a great deal. Just because these appetizers are coming with your entree doesn't mean that they're going to be small, because believe me, they are NOT small. If i had gotten the calamari appetizer, I think I would have been full from just that! Good thing I didn't. My eggplant app was delicious and my Kobe beef sliders were yum too. The bf's beef was a bit too salty and I know he didn't enjoy it very much. My friend got the churrasco beef and that dish was pretty tasty too! So food wise, I feel like its a hit or miss depending on what you order. One thing I really enjoyed here were the drinks. They were delicious! O and a wow factor, you can get a bottle of wine here for less than an entree. Pretty cool right?
(3)Miguel F.
It was just okay.. probably won't be going back... Best thing about the place is the view... if you can sit outside then do so. The food was okay.. nothing special. One good thing they have is with whatever entree you order you get an appetizer also included in the price -- so that's a pretty good deal Spicy -- croquettas -- the same as from Dolores so they are pretty good. the view -- on the bay, you can see Brickell Key, Key Biscayne, etc... very nice Medium --my friends seemed happy with their meals, including some cheese appetizer and the pizza Mild -- Flat Iron Steak -- it was overcooked and it was supposed to be cooked in a Thai Marinade... well it lacked some flavor and I wasn't digging the soggy and salty fries. I was not impressed at all with the food, friends ordered a dessert and they basically had to make it themselves, very bizarre. Best part about the meal was catching up with friends.... next time we'll pick another spot though.
(2)Carlos R.
-If you are going to make me wait 35 minutes past my reservation time, then ITS NOT A RESERVATION. My wife works at 6 am, so I only go to places that take reservations to ensure i get out at a reasonable time. -Too loud -Beautiful decor -Food is average,
(2)Elena I.
Gorgeous pace with an amazing view. Luckily the view and very nicely priced wine ($13 for a bottle of their house wine) will keep you entertained as the service is a bit slow. I ordered the salmon and it was not cooked to my liking although I specifically asked the waiter twice. They did offer to remake it but by then I wasn't even that hungry anymore. We sat outside and the view really is stupendous - it made up for everything else.
(4)Lynn C.
Sorry but I am not Crazy About You! The ambience, view and whimiscal feel cannot make up for the poor service and bad food. Crazy About You is owned by the same people as Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita (which I love btw) but I just didn't have the same love for this place. We came on a Saturday night and were able to sit right away, despite not having a reservation. Sat in the dining room (30 minute wait for the outdoor area which is beautiful because it overlooks the water). Food is reasonably priced, but it's not just good. I had a cold appetizer and Hubs ordered a hot one - the Huevos Estrellados (shredded potatoes, mushrooms and white truffle oil) but the appetizer was cold and not good as a result. For our main entrees, the kitchen must have forgotten about us because we waited almost thirty minutes! The waiter only came over to check on us once during that time and realized we were still waiting for our food. I had the lobster and shrimp cannelonni which unfortunately was undersauced and the pasta shell was hard. :( Hubs' dinner was better than mine - he had the gnocci. By this time, we were not in the mood for dessert and it took too long for the waiter to bring us our check. I understand that it's a Saturday night and it's busy, but it only takes two seconds to come over and check on your table. Overall, it was a cheaper costing meal, but I wouldn't recommend it b/c it's not good food or a good experience.
(2)Ingrid D.
Ok, so the place is really cute, very romantic too. The food is tasty and the staff is very nice. It was a very chilled evening and they had blankets to their guests. I didn't think it was expensive at all, my boyfriend and I had a bottle of sparkling wine, a meal each. With every meal, you get an appetizer. The food portion is perfect, not too much, not too little. We also ordered desert, and the bill came to be less than US 110. 00 . Not much of food choices for people that are vegetarian (my boyfriend is a vegetarian and he had spring rolls with risotto, we asked the staff to remove the shrimp) nevertheless we did not expect to see vegetarian options, we are open mind about it. The place had a great ambience and music on the background, this is a place you should get your partner to go and have a nice drink and some food by subset hours- right in front of the ocean. I am pleased and I recommend for anyone looking for just a relaxed dinner, not too fancy, not too casual, with the right price.
(4)Scott D.
Loved this place. They have a great location and their service is good. Loved the food, and the date I had with my girlfriend.
(4)Jessica B.
We went to Crazy About You, with some friends for dinner. We started off with cocktails then dinner. It was a Tuesday night so wasn't as busy, however our waitress appeared overwhelmed and didn't come to our table very much. The ambience was great, but service not so much. People came and went and our waitress wouldn't appear, finally after about an hour she came by to give us the bill. Now about the food, I had a spinach salad which was okay, and the calamari which was okay also. Nothing really to write home about, luckily I was in good company so wasn't so bad. Probably wont be going back.
(2)Cynthia M.
The food, ambiance and gorgeous view make this restaurant a great place for a date notwithstanding the suggestive name (luckily my date wasn't too worried about being "cheesy"). Reservations are unavailable for the outdoor terrace, which is where you want to sit on a lazy late afternoon to enjoy the beautiful bay view and breeze. Portions are ample enough to enjoy and share. Nothing that we were served was spectacular but tasty nonetheless. The price of your entree choice includes your choice of appetizer and the portions really require sharing or you'll risk busting your belly. Everyone at the table must order an entree according to the menu, or you'll be charged a $10 sharing charge! Having read about the $13 bottle of house wine (chardonnay, cab, or merlot) we tried it and were pleasantly surpised at its quality and quaffed two bottles in lieu of the tasty sounding desserts. I liked how the wine was served in stemless glassware. I also appreciated the fact that each table is provided with a large bottle of filtered water, which is quickly replaced with another once you run out. And maybe it's cheese-lover in me, but I thought the server's name tags pronouncing that they were "crazy" about me were cute too. Service, however, became less attentive once the place got crowded and we were ready for our check. I can't wait to come back here with friends (or on another date!) to enjoy the food and view. Having seen how this place gets packed, I'll be sure to get a reservation or come as soon as it opens at 5pm to snag a table outside.
(4)Jamie C.
I had dinner here with a big group and fell in love with this place. Its decorated so warm, and cozy, candlelit tables with attention to detail all around the room. The back dining room has beautiful views of the bay and key biscayne. The menu has 3 price points with plenty of entree and appetizer options for each. All the food was delectable, and so impressive for the price. The house bottle of wine is $14, crazy, but it was actually decent wine. I really enjoyed my dinner so much that i made reservations before leaving to come back the next week.
(5)Marine F.
Overrated.
(3)Mercedes B.
If you are in your 20s this is the place for you, super noisy, I took my niece to celebrate her 35 birthday. We asked to be moved since we couldn't do anything else but look at each other's disappointed faces. Even at the new table, the noise level was Unberable. The service was good but the food wasn't great, appetizers were also OK. This restaurant could benefit by assigning a different area for large parties.
(2)Lauren C.
Service stinks. Food was nothing to die for. What makes this restaurant is the view, decor, and location.
(3)Elana F.
Upon pulling up to this location I noticed that it was valet only and the location itself screamed expensive! In fact, the first time I went by, I decided to come back another day when I was dressed a bit more appropriate and had a little extra cheese to splurge. When I finally made it back, I was pleasantly surprise by the decor and the prices on the menu. With the purchase of an entree (most expensive is $23.75), you get an appetizer of your choice, and a brisk glass of chardonnay, merlot or cab goes for $4 a glass or $13 a bottle! The atmosphere is awesome, and the prices allow you to feel like a real Brickell Girl! Not to mention, the view of the moon is killer!

In the background, the theme song from Sex and the City is playing, at the table, six friends who, despite crazy schedules and bs manage to sit down to a meal together for a special occasion. The moment I walked into the front door, I knew I had made a good choice, this place is beautiful! So clean and simple, but still warm and inviting. We sat outside (duh, it's gorgeous out) and started reading the menu. No one had really settled on what to order, until our exceptional waitress Vanessa came by and started describing all our choices. Everyone was either wiping up their drool or debating whether or not to change their order. The food starts to come out and we were blown away. One of the great things about this place is the price includes your appetizer! So we each had an app and an entree, making sharing so deliciously awesome! The 13$ bottle of pretty decent house wine certainly helped the food go down.. Almost everyone had a box of food to take home, but despite this fact we ordered a couple of their desserts. The message in a bottle was way too much fun to be having at the dinner table, I was writing everyone's name in chocolate sauce, but the show stopper was the cappuccino flan! I think it was Cookie Monster that said, "Nom, nom, nom". A shot in the dark that turned out exceptionally well, these folks have done good and I'll be back to eat their goods again!

Let me start by saying this restaurant has one of the best locations in Miami with an amazing view of the bay and a great ambience. It's a cool, chic restaurant that offers the best value in trendy dining. I had been to crazy about you twice before and had really enjoyed the food and experience. Last week, we went to celebrate my birthday here with my family. We were a group of 13 and the restaurant had reserved an area for us. The food was just ok, not as good as I had remembered it. We were limited to 4 appetizers because we were a big party. We chose the croquettes, the calamari flatbread, the Chihuahua cheese casserole and the huevos estrellados. They were all good except the huevos estrellados. Then I had the short rib for my dinner and it was nothing to brag about. I love short rib and order it almost always when I see it on a menu but this one lacked taste. And the mashed potatoes it came with tasted like it was instant mashed potatoes out of a box, the kind that you just add milk and butter. Not good at all! But my cousin ordered the Ossobuco and that was pretty tasty. Overall we had a great time and our family ended up sitting in our table till the restaurant closed, drinking and talking, and no one asked us to leave so that was great too.

Location, location, location. This place is perfect for a night to go "crazy about someone" but not to go so crazy about the food nor the service. To start with, the bar area has a really nice vibe and its nicely decorated. The restaurant is situated right by the water which makes it a beautiful place for a romantic night with your significant other. However, when it comes to the food, it wasn't bad but its not great. The only thing that was amazing, was the spinach & goat cheese salad w sesame dressing. Out of hand! Everything else we had was just ok. I'd go again though, just to enjoy the nice ambiance and views with good company.

A few weeks ago myself, my boyfriend, and another adorable couple went on a double date to Crazy About You. Being a fan of Doloras..Lolita we thought we would be in for a delicious dinner. The place itself is in a nice location (on the water although it was dark) and the decor is cute, but it was very loud, ehhhh service, and not so delicious food. Starting with the drinks...most of us had a drink selected from there cocktail menu. I had the one with champagne and chambord which was decent (I mean you can't really screw that up), my boyfriend had some blushing Johnnie which tasted like Robitussin cough syrup, and finally my friend had some other comso like cocktail which again was not so great. I do have to say they give you these rice cups with a tomato bisque like sauce which was good. Next came the appetizer...my friend and I had the spinach salad with butternut squash, it was good but very over dressed and they could have done something with the butternut squash beside just cook it (no seasoning). My boyfriend had the Mexican caprese with the most unappealing tomatoes ever. I mean how do you serve an unripe tomato?!!??!!?!? Finally, my friend's boo had a Caesar salad with a dressing that tasted like pure mayo which Paula dean wouldn't even eat. On to dinner had the cod with broccolini and tomatoes which was OK except for the mayo/butter topping I had NO IDEA came on it. My boyfriend had the frutti de mare which he said was ehhh. My friend and her boo had the rustic chicken and mini burgers which they said were OK. All and all I would say it was not as we hoped and will probably never go back.

I really don't know how they do it. How can they be so inexpensive while offering great food (appetizer plus entree for either 15.75 or 19.75) and a spectacular view? This is pretty much unheard of in Miami. This is Dolores' cousin over at the Mark and you should go try it. The ambiance was great and felt festive. I had the Mediterranean antipasto (mortadella, tortilla espanola, and brie) followed by their goat cheese and caramelized onion pizza). It was way too much food for me...you would expect small portions at that price, but you'd be wrong. OH, I almost forgot!! I had a strawberry mojito (sort of) at the bar. It tasted like a mojito except it had basil instead of mint. It was soooooo good! I'm actually making my next reservation as I write this review. Try it!

Went here just the other night to celebrate my birthday, it was my first time and we had a wonderful night. The decor is gorgeous, the view is really nice, and the food was delish. We were a party of eight, and we all left more than satisfied. Their salads are very fresh, their Serrano ham croquettes were soo yummy. I also ordered the Mikey's Slow Braised steak; it was perfect. We will definitely be returning.
(4)Natalie Q.
Beautiful location, nice decor. Don't expect them to respect your reservation time. We had reservations at 9:30pm, didn't get seated until 10:45pm. The hostess's response when asked about the reservation time, "Yeah, but you're gonna have wait." The food was terrible. The only thing worth eating was the croquettes. But I mean really how can you possibly mess up with those? Really not a place for dinner, more of a casual drink pre-party warm up location. I won't be gong back, wouldn't recommend it either.

This place is unbeatable for its decor, view, prices, and service. There are not many places in Miami that offer the same experience for this price. The view is just AMAZING, overlooking the bay. It was beautiful in sunlight (when we got there, early evening) and at night (by the time we finished our dinner). The food is the same as you would expect from Lolita's - good portion sizes, good flavor, and variety. This is a great place to take a date and or bring some visitors without breaking the bank. They give you pita bread with some red pepper hummus, which was yummy but not amazing. We ordered the lentil soup, spinach salad, and the flash fried avocado appetizers - all of which were very good. As entrees, I ordered the half roasted chicken and my two friends both ordered the zuchinni spaghetti. My chicken was very good, I ordered it with the arugula and roasted tomato salad instead of the spinach/artichoke side it came with. I love it. It was light and healthy, but flavorful. I didn't try my friends' dishes but they said they liked it (although heavy on cheese, which doesn't sound so bad to me!). We opted not to get dessert :( I will definitely be returning to Crazy About You, despite its cheesy name!
(4)Nadia B.
Well I can start off by saying this place is beautiful! The waitress that took our orders she was very nice and attentive. I didn't get a chance to eat outside just because it was windy but if it wasn't for that, I would have. The appetizer calamari was a total delight. The main course I ordered were Kobe burgers so good! This place would be great to come with family and even on a date. I'm definitly coming back.
(4)Michael S.
Interesting concept for a restaurant. Three columns of entrees, each column priced slightly differently with a large selection of appetizers that is included in the price. Each of the three columns is priced reasonably especially considering that the appetizer is included. They also have a reasonably priced wine list but the markup on the bottles is at least 2.5x. Unfortunately when we were there they were having problems with their AC and had lots of portable units installed, including on the patio, blocking a large portion of the view of the bay. All of the food we had was OK, there were four of us eating and we all tried something different, but none of it was outstanding. This seems like it could be a nicely priced neighborhood joint except for the large, loud crowds, many celebrating some special occasion. There was no sound absorbing material in the dining area which only made it that much louder.
(3)Roger K.
This is supposed to be a fancy restaurant and the decor of this place looks that way. It is beautiful inside and I was hoping the food and service would match. It didn't. The service was not friendly at all. The food was just OK. I have had better at Chili's. I had a flat iron steak and some cod empenda's for $25. It was super cheap, but the portion sizes matched the price. I would rather pay more money for better food and better service.

amazing place with waterview
(5)V. H.
I came here on a Thursday for an early dinner with a friend. It was a beautiful day so we chose to sit outside next to the water. They had a somewhat lively bar outside next to the tables so its a pretty place to grab a drink. All the servers we encountered were friendly and helpful. As far as the food goes, I had the calamari flatbread. It resembles pizza with calamari as a topping. Since im a fan of both things, I enjoyed this appetizer. As an entree I had the flat iron steak with shoestring potatoes. I asked for the steak medium rare but it was cooked more medium. The steak was just okay. I would have liked a little more of the glaze over the steak to compensate for the temp which it was cooked. Overall for the price of this meal and the views from the outside tables, I consider this a good deal.
(3)Janine R.
Unlike the previous reviews I had a great experience at Crazy About You. The spawn child of Lolita's in Brickell, brings a cool vibe to the Brickell Bay area. I absolutely loved the interior design. The designer was very attentive to detail and this place definitely brings that charm that Lolita's does so well. The food concept is pretty much the same as Lolita's, two differently priced sections that come with an appetizer of your choice. I really liked the variety of food that was available on the menu. Everything from pizza to steak. I had the goat cheese and carmaalized onion pizza that was delicious. My boo had the Thai Chirico steak that was just as tasty. Another great deal at this place is the wine for 3-4 bucks you get a glass of wine and for 13 bucks you get a whole bottle. The dessert was extra delicious only because I got to make it! Yes, the "Message in a Bottle" gives you the chance to create your own dessert and write a clever little message at the end. The message is then placed in a huge bottle where the staff every month picks out the most creative saying and the winner gets a free dinner. Not only was the food great, but the service was impeccable. I happen to like the over attentive waiters. There are not enough places like this that actually tend to your every water refill. This place gets 5 stars and will be a regular spot for me.
(5)Taylor P.
I really enjoy Crazy About You. The food is always delicious the service is decent (not great, but I've never had an issue) and the ambiance is fantastic. I would not necessarily go here for dinner often because the menu is set up in a way in which you order an appetizer with a full entree...too much food! However, I absolutely LOVE it for a happy hour and appetizers off their happy hour bar menu.
(4)Arly M.
My review is from a bridal shower perspective. I arrived to the bridal shower and thought it was a good location. The decor is cute and I am sure it has nice views since it is on the bay but I never went outside. The food however was bland overall. The Serrano ham croquettes were okay but nothing special. Even the salad seemed to have something missing, it was "the real ceaser salad." The entree came out cold: " I'm crazy about you Margherita- chicken cotoletta alla milanese." The only good part of the whole meal was the Cappuccino Flan but again it was good not excellent. All in all I didn't really eat at this bridal shower because I was so disappointed in the food.
(2)Carlo M.
Great looking place. Front bar is charming and main dining room is cool and different. Food was very good and an excellent value for the money. I had the Chihuahua Cheese Casserole, which was pretty much just cheese dip and bread. But that was OK, cuz it was good! The Pizza I had for the entree. was awesome and huge! I could only eat half of it, my friends finished it for me. There were 12 of us for a party and we all had a good time. My only issue was with the service. Although our waiter was more than eager to wait on us, he lack of experience and training showed. One of the entrees was taken incorrectly, we had to constantly remind him to refill out wine glasses and when the food came out, none of the servers had any idea who's it was. Altogether it was a great night and I would go back again. But the wait staff needs serious boot camp.
(3)Andres R.
My party and I walk in on a Saturday night to be greeted by a nicely-decorated restaurant - this was probably the only thing that was appealing about this place. We were forced to wait almost half an hour for table, only to finally be seated and see a restaurant with several empty tables. This whole strategy of making people wait so that they're compelled to order a few drinks makes sense at established places, but it was a terrible waste of time at this place. Our waitstaff was kind and attentive but also terribly disorganized. I don't see the point of having two waiters at a table when they're constantly repeating the same questions. Overall the worst part of our dining experience here was the food. It was bad enough that it took us almost an hour and a half to receive our order. My frutti di mare pasta was by far the most over-salted meal I've ever had, it was truly terrible. The tuna carpaccio and steak my friends had weren't fresh or properly prepared. You definitely have to be "crazy" to eat here

very nice,,, view,, but i of course i wasnt at the ocean. a very nice place to take a date.,,, service is amazing,, food is great,,, ,
(5)Angie C.
Great location, delicious food, attentive service. I had their new appetizer pan seared artichokes, which were delicious. My entree was the Tuscan salmon with vegetable tagliatelli. Also delicious. Also ordered at the table was the risotto, which is mixed a bit with wild rice and was found to be delicious as well. I will definitely come back.
(5)David G.
All I can say is "You Can Not Please Everyone!!!" I went here with a group of 12 and plan to be there again this week with a group of 22. The decor was amazing! Our table was ready as soon as we walked in. Unfortunately, we were not. So I didn't have a problem enjoying a nice glass of wine which was only $4 by the way. The prices are GREAT. But most importantly, the company we were with was better. Yes it was laud but what do you expect on a Saturdat night with a packed place!!! Valet took a while but it had nothing to do with my dinner experience. Will be back again...
(4)Jess R.
The appetizers were great; the place is beautiful. The entrees were subpar. The mahi mahi was awful. The Mickey was not good. The only thing worth ordering was the veal churrasco.
(2)Brian N.
Great location nice decor good drinks food is HORRIBLE. Heard good things about this place and I was very disappointed. Only good thing we enjoyed were the drinks , view from balcony and message in a bottle dessert. The food is absolutely horrible. Me and my girlfriend hated everything we tried. Calamari flat bread & blackened tuna sandwich was the only thing alright .Went to El Gran Inka after
(3)Shelly Ann C.
Beautiful venue, appetizing food not very expensive. I'm a definite fan!
(4)Yvette G.
I went to Crazy (Dolores/Lolita's slightly more sophisticated sister) before their official opening last year and had a pretty great experience, so I was anxious to try them again and see if it was still the same great place I'd tried a year ago. We had a reservation and were seated promptly outside overlooking the bay. Although the view was phenomenal, the night was a bit too windy and chilly for us so we asked to be moved inside. They immediately accommodated us and we were comfortably seated in the less romantic but still chic inside. Our server was knowledgable about the menu (prix-fixe for app and entree at 3 different price points....sweet!!) and was quick with our drink orders. I ordered the churrasco which was very yummy and the app was the croquetas. They are the same ones served at Lolita and I'm borderline obsessed with them. All very yummy and served in a timely fashion. Service was a bit slow at the end of our meal for another round of drinks for my date and my friend's husband and the check but we were finishing our ($13!!) bottle of wine and talking so it wasn't a big deal. Overall it's a great relatively inexpensive place in the heart of brickell that's fun to go with friends or a date. Highly recommend.
(5)Sharein E.
A fantastic little place I never would have found without yelp. The view is amazing. They don't take reservations for the outside and the biggest party you can fit outside is a party of 10 (the size of my party) for which there is only one table. The tables outside are bolted down so they cannot be pushed together and thus one party cannot monopolize the beautiful outdoor views. The restaurant was gorgeous...very pretty and light by only the candles and the moon. I had a spinach squash goat cheese salad that was to die for! The house red wine was also excellent and quite cheap. The waiter was very friendly and attentive and he surprised me with an adorable desert platter because it was my birthday. The plate was beautifully decorated and delicious. Overall a fantastic experience- so glad I chose to dine here for my birthday. The menu is simple but tasty...very similar to Dolores but you can call me Lolita...I think they may have the same owner because I thought the menus may be identical.
(5)Cristy M.
I can't believe I had never been here. The food, location, atmosphere it Amazing!! They have 3 set menus starting at $15 I believe and you get to choose from 1 appetizer and 1 meal. Almost like a "Menu del Dia" in Spain. The bottles of wine are $14 which is obviously an awesome price. If you like you can have dinner outside which is beautiful overlooking Brickell Key. When we went there were several large groups with parties so it was kinda loud, but it was still great.
(4)Lola P.
Eh. This place is all about the ambiance. The food is not that great. The appetizers are good but the entrees are a bit bland. They're missing some sort of kick. Bit overpriced for what you receive.
(3)Ale L.
Wow! I had to write the review as soon as I finished my dinner. Excellent food! I order a salad and the "faux" risotto and they were delicious! Excellent attention from the waiters. I called to make a reservation and even though they couldn't promise to have the exact table I wanted, they did! Great prices also!
(5)Vicki L.
The place is really nice. They need to work on getting the real NY Steak. We came for my friends 25 TH birthday and brought her an ice cream cake from carvel and they brought it to her melted they forgot to put it in the fridge. The food was too pricy for the quality. Don't pay for food here.
(2)Rob H.
Food sucks. Bland, tasteless, cheap. Will never go back ever again.
(1)Jason I.
Highly recommended to anyone who wants good food for a great price. The menu is sort of a you-pick-two pre-fixe with lots of great options for appetizers and entrees. I had the croquette appetizer which was awesome!!! My wife and I chose the braised beef entree which was very hearty and delicious. The deserts were incredibly tasty and unbelievably priced...only $2.50 each! The espresso flan was our favorite. In all, this place is a real gem... beautiful, upscale atmosphere, good food, great price. Will definitely go back next time we are in Miami.
(5)Alex C M.
I've noticed MANY people are marveled about this place. Everyone wants to know how can such a elegant looking place be so "CHEAP". Well aside from the decor which is very nice, the food is cheap.....I MEAN OF A CHEAP QUALITY. The catch is to dress up the place and then hoodwink you into believing that there is some notion of quality behind the food. Do not be fooled. I ordered the lentil soup which came cold and sent it back. The second time around it was a tad bit warm but not hot! Soup is meant to be hot unless you are having gazpacho. Next ,bring on the linguine frutti di mare. First I was given fettuccine instead of linguine pasta so whatever. It was also "F...ing" COLD! The tomato sauce was to sweet and tasted like the typical red sauce used by ABUELAS all over miami when we where kids. Basically , SALSA DE TOMATE' A LO CUBANO! YUKKKKKKKKKKK.... 2 shrimp and 5 calamari , literally. Don't plan on going back. you can keep it with all your bells and whistles. OH! , THE HOUSE WINE WAS PRETTY GOOD. and only $4.00 a glass. not bad for such shameful food.
(1)Boogie B.
I loved the atmosphere, very trendy decor and very romantic! The food was very inexpensive for being in downtown Miami. With each entree, you get your choice of appetizer. I am a sucker for goat cheese, but the goat cheese salad was not good. I didnt even eat half of it. For my entree I got the tom, basil pizza. That was pretty good.
(3)Martin O.
The W and I came here on a Wednesday night after unsuccessfully trying to get a reservation the previous Saturday night. We arrived just before 7pm and it was very empty. Crazy About You is one of the only restaurants int he area that right on the Water. In fact they have an Outside Bar with a great view of Brickell Bay and an Inside Bar in the front. The menu is organized into an Appetizer Section and a Main Course. For a fixed price, you get your choice of each. I started with a Cheese Caserole appetizer and The W had a Calamari Flatbread. Both were generous portions. I thought both were very good but there wasn't any Wow factor. For a main course, I had the New York Strip with Fries. The strip was a below average piece of meat and the fries were very small, they reminded me of Shoestring Potatoes in a Can. The W had Mikey's Beef which came with a Cheese Rissota. For dessert, we had the Message in a Bottle - a prepare your own dessert with a hot brownie, scoop of vanilla ice cream, a bottle of chocolate sauce and powdered Cinnamon. The W accused me of watching too much of the Food Channel as I created our dessert. They call it Message in a Bottle because they give you a slip a paper you can write a message for a contest to win a free dinner. The owner picks the winner and you stuff it in a large empty Jack Daniels Bottle. At about 7:30pm several very large parties walked in as if they had just been dropped off by a bus. It sounds like they must cater to private parties so you should make a reservation before dining here. There is also food served at the bar. There is valet parking and nearby metered parking.
(3)Natasha T.
This place is so GREAT!!! I have always been a fan of Dolores so when I heard about Crazy About You, I had to try it! I tried making my reservation on open table but my time wasn't available so I called and the hostess was able to make my reservation for the exact time I needed it. We arrived right on time for our reso and were walked right to our table. The decor and ambiance is super trendy and sooooo cute!!! I love it!! The service was a little slow at first but improved throughout our night. Appetizers we ordered were the chihuahua cheese, goat cheese spinach salad and the caprese salad.The chihuahua cheese was my favorite, it was so tasteful and fresh! The salads were ok, I would def order the cheese again!! Main Courses were the sirloin steak and the mojo chicken. We ordered 2 steaks and had to send one back because it was over cooked. The steak is very very flavorful. The mojo chicken is bursting and I mean bursting with flavor!! I will def be returning, hopefully next time I can get a table outside though!!
(4)Fiona M.
Eek! Methinks not is right! OK, so first of all upon entering this establishment I was greeted with a very unpleasant odor. I tried to smell past it so to speak but it was unable to do so. There was a short wait for a table so my friends and I decided to get a drink at the bar. Gross! My go to drink is always a margarita so naturally i ordered the "break up to make up" margarita. It tasted like a super concentrated capri sun...weird and not enjoyable. We were then told our table was ready. We were seated and waited about 20 minutes for someone to serve us water. So we decided to leave. I am sorry but in today's economy service is everything. The wait staff has to perform if they want me coming back. The layout of the menu was as confusing as the flavor combinations. Also the menu was flimsy and dirty! A pet peeve of mine is when there are greasy fingerprints and old food particles in between the laminate and paper. In all fairness i did not actually try the food and to be honest i don't think i will go back to do so. The decor is nice (not good if that is the only noteworthy thing about the restaurant). I also remember it being uncomfortably hot inside.
(1)James S.
The pork ossobucco was very good. The salad with goat cheese and butternut squash was very good. Great atmosphere and location. I look forward to returning.
(4)M T.
Two stars: one for ambiance and the other for the good view. The service and the food were nothing special. Also, They offer a selection of pizzas but charge a $10 sharing fee. I won't be coming back
(2)Erika S.
The decor of this place is amazing.. I love the trendy cute sayings and style the place has. It is a nicer version of delores lolita. I came here with a girlfriend of mine and we sat outside for an early dinner. The service was great and the view from the outside was stunning. It made me feel like the place was more of a date spot than a girls night dinner but it was great none the less. The food was simple and filling. We ordered 3 dishes a dip and something else and then we shared a pizza. It was more than enough for us and it was very cheap. I think its a great spot I will probably visit again.
(5)Patrick K.
Great atmosphere, but eat outside. You sit overlooking the bay between brickell and the key.. it makes you wish the key's bridge would be more lit up like the mcarthur causeway, but anyways... the gnocchi, the steak and fries, the croquettas, the chicken... all great plates. Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either. The hummus and Pita substitution for bread is a fabulous idea. Get a bottle of wine and enjoy great food and service.
(4)Alicia C.
It's amazing how little people who try to be pretentious can loose money simply by not trying. We were exploring the area, as we have recently relocated to Coconut Grove and stumble upon this place with a pretty virw so we thought we would stop for drinks and and appetizer and enjoy the view in the middle of the afternoon. We wwere informed, after being sat that all menu items come with a free appetizer. Not so hungry and found sharing one appetizer would could $10.00 extra. I'm not cheap but seriously that is nuts. I'll never go again. Way to loose good money. We paid our $12.00 for two Stellas and left.
(1)Joel C.
I came here for my best friends birthday and have heard very mixed reviews about this place. Now after the experience I will stick with the middle ground. I love the decor and the view is worth the bad parking. The wine bar is great and the bartenders are very friendly. The service was fantastic especially with handling a big group. Now the first thing that really annoyed me was we had reservations for 8:00pm and we all got there early, however we weren't seated till 9:30pm. Now I understand this is one of the hot places in Brickell, but when you have a reservation I expect to be seated within 20 minutes of the promised time. Regardless, we were having a good time at the bar, watching a game. Their menu is a little different; there are three sections having 3-5 entrees each and it all comes with your own appetizer. Now from what I heard from the rest of my party every appetizer was amazing. I had the loaded bake potatoe soap and I literally wanted to fill a pool with it. This soup was amazing!!!! Maybe one of the best I have ever had. Another interesting one was the ranch eggs, which smelled great. Now here is where it gets weird, you would think amazing appetizers=amazing entrees, sadly no. I personally had the seared ahi tuna sandwhich. Now I love seafood!! but when you say seared tuna I expect just that, not over cooked dry fish brick between two stale pieces of bread. I can get that same sandwhich correctly made and delicious for $5.00 in the keys and this "supposedly" high end restaurant cannot properly sear a piece of tuna. Not to mention it costed around $17.00, but that soup was amazing, so I wasn't that upset. At first I thought maybe it was just me, but I realized most of the entrees on the table were either very small or so-so. I saw my friend eating the short ribs ($24-26), they looked good, but I have seen more rib meat on pulled pork sandwhiches. It really seems like there is one chef making the appetizers and another making the entrees. I will maybe give "Crazy About You" one more try, because the place has great potential and the view is just amazing and that potatoe soup, ah!!, so good.
(3)Orlando J.
Beautiful locale, full house. The staff was efficient and ready to refill your glass. Too bad no reservations accepted until half of the party is physically there. The price you pay is very reasonable if you're willing to wait over 2.5hrs for a table. The appetizers are big and attractively displayed. I opted for the "Mediterrean antipasto"; mini Spanish omelette, sliced mortadella, slices of brie and white bread mini-toast. Dinner choice was the Atlantic Cod, the right size...very garlicky. We skipped dessert, didn't notice anyone around ordering dessert. The alcoholic beverages are also reasonable for "Miami standards". Very nice evening in the company of friends (celebrating a birthday). Staff brought a small dessert for the birthday girl. Food was served promptly. Definitely a good choice if you'd want to avoid the restaurant chains but be prepared to wait.

Well, I was quite sad to come back to this location and find out Mendoza closed and was replaced by a place with a name as cheesy as "Crazy about you". The positives are the ambiance/decor. It's quite lovely inside and the view outside is gorgeous. The only reason I would ever come back (and I doubt I will) is to enjoy the outside area. The prices were much more affordable than I would expect for a restaurant in that location, however, the quality of the food suffered. I would rather pay more and get a better meal. The food and the drinks really need improvement. We came for lunch Sunday and requested a bellini and a mimosa (basic Sunday brunchy drinks). The waiter came back with my bellini, only that the bartender replaced peach juice with peach schnapps. He also apologized that they couldn't find orange juice for the mimosa (really?) but ultimately I guess they found some because they brought a mimosa with actual fruit juice to the table. Both drinks were not cold as well as the water they served us. Warm champagne is never good, but even worse when you are sitting outside in Miami weather. The food: uninspired and lacking flavor. We got the antipasto (featuring what looked like a mashed potato tortilla), serrano ham croquettes (the ham must have been there in spirit only because we didn't see it and certainly couldn't taste it), the fish sliders (zero flavor), and the goat cheese pizza which was actually really good and we enjoyed. So out of 4 items, 1 win. The place has potential, but it needs a lot of work. I'm not sure how long it's been open but if it's fairly new I'd give it a pass and hope that they improve the quality of the food in months to come.

Amazing location, good price and good food. Great for going on a date. The only problem is that every time, there are very few waiters, and they are not very good. If they improve their service, i would go there more often.
(3)Laura R.
my favorite place... its so romantic, the service is awesome,after the second time i went there, they remembered me... the food its awesome... great view... affordable prices

The ambiance was good but didn't go crazy about the food.

Excellent time. Got together with friends. Had the baby back ribs. Was delicious. Also had the capachino flan--delicious. Expressions very good. Carlos great waiter

Came to Crazy About You for a baby shower and had a wonderful time. The food was delicious from the serrano ham croquettes and calamari flatbread to the Mexican caprese salad and meat lover's canneloni. The white peach sangria was delicious sans my suspicion that cheap wine was used (I had a headache by the end of the lunch). But overall, the food and drink was amazing. The view is the real treat here. It overlooks the bay from the second floor which gives the space a clean, bright feel. As far as decor, the restaurant is very trendy. I would definitely return for another event with a bunch of girls or just a casual lunch.

Perfect setting for date night. Was nice to sit outside next to the water and under the moon. Service was very attentive and friendly. The appetizers and entres were delicious and prepared perfectly. Too bad we didn't have room for dessert. Great value for the portion size!
(5)Anita G.
The view is great. Service is so so. But the food is amazing! Always yummy and fresh! Unfortunately every time I go there I noticed and try to avoid this one area where the tables are usually packed by flies! Come on people? That's nasty!
(3)Carly B.
Went in on Saturday around 1pm for brunch. Sat down right away outside (as requested) on the patio. The food was delicious!! The caprese salad and chicken & waffles were well worth the price. And who can go wrong with $4 mimosas?!?! The decor inside was very cute as well. I will definitely recommend this place and will go back myself.
(5)Eric V.
Pretty good brunch, not too much variety, but nice enviroment. Note: for a good restaurant, they need to welcome customers, no one said at least, Hello........ Just the hostess! Very nice and pleasent to be outside, with the sea breeze.
(4)Shiri F.
Service was awesome, atmosphere was great and the food was pretty good. Not sure if it justifies the price since portions are relatively small, but the overall experience was good.
(4)Brenda P.
I love this place, it has a very nice atmosphere, it can be very romantic with Miami bay view. The decor is very fancy. The staff is very attentive. The food is good and they have a good varied menu. I recommended this place for a date.
(5)Josefina G.
Excellent ambiance, view and service. This place will never disappoint. Very reasonably priced.

What a great location in Brickell for this posh restaurant with an outstanding view. I would give the place 5 stars on view alone. I love the inside decor especially the champagne and wine display near the bar. Love me some wine and champagne! Before being seated we relaxed at the bar where they has happy hour and $1 champagne flutes!! Um sold! The weather was beautiful so we asked to be seated outside. The view was breathtaking. The blue water and some visible skyscrapers in Miami. Their menu had both my hubby and I excited. Every entree includes an appetizer starting at $17.99. I chose to get the classic wedge salad with blue cheese and gnocchi topped with marinated mushrooms. The salad was refreshing and you could tell they make their gnocchi fresh! The gnocchi melted in my mouth. It was delish and fulfilling. My husband ordered the chihuahua cheese casserole with pesto and a hint of chorizo. He was a little disappointed as it was just melted cheese over this red sauce. We could have probably made this better at home. For his entree he had the braised steak brasao which consisted of mushrooms and Marsala wine reduction atop a creamy garbanzo stew (different and yummy) topped with a fried egg. He nor I cared much for the fried egg but the presentation was good. Overall it resembled a pot stew. He contemplated getting the ribs as another friend got and it was amazing! He will definitely try something different when we come back. Our friend also got the calamari al pepperoncini flatbread which was like a fancy pizza topped with calamari and this yummy sauce. So I'm teetering on 3-4 stars as everything I had was great but my husband didn't share the exact same sentiments. Overall loved the name and the experience.
(4)Luisa O.
Great view, very expensive and with lots of retrictions: "no sharing", "must order a meal" . Portions were huge but the food wasn't anything special. My tacos came with cold tortillas. Our waitress was great, let us change tables after the hostess had sat us in a corner table, with limited view, even though there were only 2 other tables occupied.
(2)Andrea B.
Love this place! The view is incredible and the food is amazing! I always get the spinach quinoa salad and the zucchini spaghetti carbonara! Parking is pricey but totally worth paying since this place is delicious!!
(5)Rosa R.
I went to "Crazy about you" for a friends birthday of about 10 people. The scenery outside was amazing; I was in awe for a week at how nice this place was and I had never heard about it. We went on a Wednesday, and it was ladies night. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the employees. Although some were extremely professional, others were not helpful. They accommodate smaller parties way better than bigger parties.
(4)Michael S.
So lets start with the biggest thing that got me. They brought us a bottle of their house merlot that was chilled. Maybe this is a new practice that I have never heard of, but I usually drink reds at room temperature. For my main course, I ordered the Gnocchi with Salsa de Aji Amarillo and Shrimp. My assumption was that the gnocchi would be served in some kind of flavorful Peruvian sauce. But instead it was a bland cheesy sauce (which was a little too rich for my liking). I had the Mexican Caprese Salad as my appetizer. It was fine, but nothing to get overly excited about.

This restaurant is in the heart of the business downtown, Miami. It is not a location that typical tourists would go but we had a local friend to introduce us here. The food is always good, the atmosphere delightful, the staff friendly, and the location divine. If you go there, reserve a seat on the terrace especially the lower terrace that is closer to the bay. You would literally be sitting on the bay overlooking the bridge to Key Biscayne on the right and the city towers and lights on left. There is no car traffic so you can enjoy the peace and the soft music. They have set menus that give you choices of appetizers and main courses ranging from $20 for both to $32 if you choose tenderloin steak. For this part of this city, the restaurant is a great value. I think it is a great value regardless. We were there for four nights and we spent two nights eating here. From the appetizers you have to try the lentil soup. Awesome! The Spinach and Quinoa salad is also fantastic. I recommend it for a date and you will get lucky. My wife loved it too!
(4)Peter Q.
Quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in Brickell. sit outside on the deck it's beautiful. the croquettes are excellent and so is the salad with strawberries. everything I've had there's been good so far. I don't think that a bad thing on the menu. great place to go for lunch.
(5)Yolene L.
Great ambiance, great service and great food! The staff is awesome and I loved that the manager came to deliver our check because it was our first time! The message in a bottle dessert was so delicious and creative... the brownie was extra fudgy! I would totally recommend this place to my friends :)
(5)Lari B.
Great atmosphere! I recommend eating outside. Service was very good and wine reasonably priced. The zucchini pasta with carbonara sauce was delicious and churros were quite tasty as well. I will return when back in Miami.
(4)Lisbeth M.
I have been dying to attend this restaurant for months now. I finally got my boyfriend to go and WE could've not been more amazed of the great quality this restaurant attended us with. We had an awful interaction, coming from the building. The residents that lived on top of Crazy About You decided to throw a can of beer. The beer landed on two tables including mine, splashing everyone clothing and shoes. The manager was aware and came over to apologize and offer any additional service at no charge. At the end of the night, the manager was kind enough to give us a 50% off our dinner. We could have been more pleased of this restaurant. Definitely will be back again! LOVED IT!!!!
(5)Nesha S.
The flat bread is amazing!
(5)Isabel L.
I loved the atmosphere and the food was AWESOME
(4)Rosa M.
Excellent food and great ambiance , I had an spectacular brunch overlooking the sea, I had Mimosas and a new dish (Chicken & Waffles) I just love it! the chicken was crispy but juicy , the waffles delicious!! I recommend this dish 100%, my friend had the "Huevos Rotos" eggs with mushrooms and potatoes, so good. I just love this restaurant , the personnel is kind and beautiful. If you ask for the Chef ( Tony) he will go to your table and greet you and give you excellent recommendations , Perfect !!! :)
(5)Laina S.
Went the other night for my birthday. We were seated right away... outside facing a beautiful view of the bay and city. We started off with a bottle of their house Merlot which was delicious and only $15! Each entree *includes* an appetizer! I got the short ribs and a strawberry spinach salad, my boyfriend got the seared ahi tuna and a calamari flatbread. Everything was cooked to perfection, with surprisingly large portions. Afterwards, the waitress surprised me with a very nice raspberry cheesecake for my birthday! So sweet, a wonderful experience. Highly recommended! Sit outside if it's nice weather, you wont want to miss that view!
(5)Ana C.
This place is a must try! The view is stunning , our service was great , & the food was pretty good ... We had the calamari flatbread & Chihuahua cheese for appetizer & liked Both .. For the entree I had the risotto & although a bit salty, still very creamy and delicious .. My fiancé ordered the pizza and no complaints ... Our favorite part was the "message in a bottle" dessert ..It was pretty fun to put together :)
(5)Giuseppe M.
I had dinner here the other night with a friend and we both really enjoyed. Great the menu format. The atmosphere and view at this place is nice and perfect food.
(4)Michelle F.
If I could rate this place just for the view alone, it would be a 5! Although it was well hidden location wise, being at the Mark hotel, Crazy About You offers a nice secluded spot with a very "Miami" vibe. As an artist, the interior design and details is always something I pay close attention to. This restaurant clashes in its style, and made me wonder what type of fusion food combination it really was (still wondering..). Immediately walking in, I was confused. Is the first room supposed to have a sophisticated sportsman vibe? The blown up images of Marilyn and Elizabeth Taylor in front of the exposed winery added to the chaos. Definitely not my choice of style. However, the main room was lovely: classic white furniture with silver accents and long tables. Entering the patio, was even more refreshing, with the repeated classic white touch, candlelight, and a spectacular skyline. Now for the menu. It seems like everyone enjoyed their meal, but it was slim pickings for vegetarians and vegans! What a bummer. The reason I rate it at 4 instead of 3 is the supreme service we received from our waiter. Wow, if only more could learn from him! He went out of the way to accommodate my party, as well as creating a specialized vegan version of a meal for myself and a friend. He was very knowledgeable of the cocktail menu as well. To go even further, he brought out a dessert for my Birthday, free on the house!! How can I not give it a good rating?
(4)Emma F.
You get a nice view , nice setting and economical . What more do you want lol it's a nice experience . I love the message in the bottle dessert :)
(4)Food M.
When it comes to try something nice and different this is the place to go. Beautiful view great service and good food. Very original concept. Not overpriced at all. Dessert are very delicious served in a super romantic way!
(4)Romi C.
NO NO NO! i ordered some type of braised beef in a sauce- the combo was lethal. Fat on fat on fat- with a tinge of A1 sauce taste to finish slapping you in the face. all served on some cutesey cast iron pot. it was downright offensive, i wish i knew this place was from the same deviants that made Dolores happen. The carbonara was equally disdainful and made with some sort of thing that wasn't pancetta or bacon. noooooooo the salads were large and possibly the best of everything i managed to ingest. Pretty terrible. Pretty decor, perfect place for a gold diggin' floozy to meet the closeted slicked back hair grease ball of her dreams with all the cheap food and inexpensive drinks. Brickellodeon watering hole.

I decided to try this place after loving 'Love is Blind'. We were celebrating my birthday so my husband made the reservations for 6 two weeks before. He asked for a table outside and we were told outside was first come first served. We arrived 30 minutes to get our table and have a drink while we waited. 3 of us arrived to check in and we were told "sorry we can't seat you until half of your party arrives" um hello there's 6 in total half of that is 3? Anyways, we had a drink and waited. We were sitting at the bar area right next to check in so we could hear what was being said. A couple walked in also waiting on the remainder of their party (6 people) but she sat them outside at the last table 2/6 people. My husband asked her and she said "oh sorry". This put a damper on the night having made the reservation in advance and them knowing it was a special birthday. The rest of our party showed up and we were seated. I loved the decor, the ambience and the food was great. It's a good price and the wine is cheap! Overall the food was good along with our server but the hostess was rude! I might try this place again!
(3)Daniel M.
Been here a few times. Love eating outside, by the bar, wherever. Great overall ambiance! Love the croquetas, flatbreads, chicken and arugula, beans. It all goes well with an inexpensive house bottle of wine! Love coming here for anniv, bdays, dates! Very sexy, sultry, sweet enviroment. Great happy hour deals, and decorations.
(4)Kimberly H.
Great ambiance, great location. Food was good. Hummus had whole chickpeas in it this was really good the pitas that came with it were a little tough. the Calamari flatbread and chihuahua cheese appetizer were really good. Pork ossobucco was delicious the from Peru with love was like a heavy Mac and cheese. For dersert we had their play on tiramisu it was a cold coffee mousse with warm coffee and lady fingers on the bottom very very yummy.
(4)William C.
Interesting location near the hot spots. Somewhat difficult to get to, with virtually no choice but the $10 valet for parking, which is a problem in most of the Brickell area. The views from the patio are good, but only if you are walking around, not while seated at a dinner table. Food was average+, just O.K. for the total price. Appetizers, included in the price of the meal were the most interesting course. I ordered a martini "up" and they did not know what i meant. They served me a shot in a cocktail glass! Good wine list.
(3)Gigi M.
I celebrated my birthday with my daughters at Crazy About You. I first went there because I usually go at lunch time and not only is the place very pretty but the food never disappoints. I started with the Cod Croquettes, which was a specialty of the house, they were delicious. My daughters had the Caprese Burrata salad and the Huevos Rotos, they each kept on raving about their respective appetizer. For the main course I had the Chilean Sea Bass, needless to say it was the best I've had in a very long time. They ordered the Filet Mignon, which was not only cooked to perfection, very important for my 2 meat eaters, but it was delicious! Being huge on client service, I can almost forgive a not so good meal if the service is good. I cannot say enough about our waiter, Juan Andres Vazquez, who was by far one of the best waiters I've had in a very long time. Thank you for making my birthday a pleasant experience.
(5)Mathieu H.
You need to go there if you are looking for a great view, book a table on the terrace and you will love it. The food is good but nothing extraordinary (it fits their prices that are relatively cheap).
(4)Letty M.
Came here for my birthday on a friday night. The hostess was great at seating a party of 13. the table was available and location was great. Was a little concerned with our waiter. Splitting the checks was a mission with a large party you would assume they would know. He forgot what everyone order and asked people to make down what they had. Normally you see this in a chills. They are similar owners to Love is Blind. Had gone to love is blind the week before on a wed. night and the service was amazing! the waiter knew what everyone order and who to split checks with we cut a cake and brought it out to everyone allowed people to take pictures. I would perfer trying Love is Blind first.
(3)Chevonne W.
I was excited to check this place out because I LOVE Dolores, But You Can Call Me Lolita and its by the same owner. I wasn't please to find that the only parking I could find was $10.00 but I figured its downtown on the water, "not a big deal" I was meeting someone there so I walked in and kind of glanced around, not a single person asked me if I needed anything or help looking for someone. Which was a bit bothersome but I didn't worry about it. For some reason couldn't get a signal in the place, damn Tmobile! (Another review hahah) anyways, I found my friend and fortunately he got a seat outside because it was freezing inside the restaurant. If you are not a fan of turbo blowing AC, sit outside. When I got outside, I was pleasantly surprised. There was music going that was kind of budha loung-ish with some remixes to popular music, I liked that. Everyone seemed very relaxed out there soaking up the sun. Perfect day as well. The food menu was like Dolores in the way that you pick three options from Appetizer, dinner and desert and the food was actually good. I had the Faux risotto. Had Shrimp and mushrooms in it. It was okay. If you are a real foodie and that's why you go out, not the place, but if you want good music, a few drinks, and a nice view, you won't be displeased =)
(3)Angel L.
Mediocre food. Had better at any other restaurant in Miami, The house wine was horrible, although you really shouldn't expect that much for the price. It's definitely not a place I will ever come back.
(1)Susan S.
I just had my daughters 21st birthday dinner party last weekend. The food and the service were outstanding. My family is very picky to pleased because we all are foodies and enjoy great food. The events coordinators Alejandra and Mariela were great to work and we selected a fix menu family style and everything was cooked to perfection. Most have the Salmon and Cappuccino Flan. Also thank to the night manager to accommodate our special request.
(5)Elise S.
The ambiance in this restaurant was beautiful from the moment you enter. We went to celebrate my brother's birthday and were able to be seated outside which had a beautiful view. The price of food is pretty decent considering the location. The food was good but I wouldn't say excellent. However with each entree you receive an appetizer so that made the deal even better. Also, valet parking was $10 and the service was excellent and quick return of car after dinner. I truly enjoyed this place and would definitely recommend it, especially for a date night.
(4)Alex P.
I had the seared tuna which was pretty good but not exactly something that would make me come back. The view was also nice but not a deal breaker either. My girlfriend however, disagrees, so I guess it depends on the person.
(3)Valezka G.
Crazy About You was Great! I had heard and read about it for a long time now, and finally made it around for my anniversary dinner this week with my fiance. The food was delicious, the view was beautiful, and service excellent. For appretizers we had the Calimari Flatbread and some potatoes with fried eggs on top (don't remember the name :()...both SO GOOD. As Entre, my fiance had the churrasco with mashed potatoes, and I had the chicken parmesan with mashed potatoes as well. Both were great as well, but we liked my plate the best. In addition we also had the message in a bottle dessert, and they surprised us with a Happy Anniversary design along with two complementary glasses of champagne. Our night along with the outside beautiful view was perfect! We will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes.
(5)Sarah G.
What a hidden GEM!! If a friend had not taken me here I would have never found it. I wish I had four stomachs because everything on the menu sounded so delicious I wanted to order at least 4 entrees. This restaurant is right on the water and the views are incredible. I came here for a late dinner with a friend. Right away we were seated, and brought waters, and a hummus plate. The menu is a cool concept. Every entree comes with an appetizer. They have 3 menu categories set in different price columns. I think they were 19,20, and 21 but I'm not 100% sure. Every dish was fresh and gourmet. I had the spinach and butternut squash salad which was the size of an entree salad. It was delicious and tossed with the perfect amount of dressing. My friend ordered the fire roasted artichoke and it was just as incredible. I had the fussili with salmon ala vodka... wow, one of the best vodka sauces I have ever eaten and the salmon was cooked very well. My friend had the bolognese and she raved about it. They also have inexpensive wine by the glass or bottle. We were way to full to attempt dessert but I am definitely planning on coming back here. It's the perfect spot for a girls night out or a date night with that special someone!
(5)Adalberto M.
Nice place in the Brickell area, great for couples date night. Prices are extremely reasonable considering the selection of food. Spicy Calamari was exceptional, just the right amount of kick. Main course was some type of meat with Risotto - I've had better. Best part was dessert., capuccino flan and tiramisu were great and only $2.50! Speaking of costs, go with beer. Drinks will run you $12/ea. Overall its great, but reminded me too much of Dolores but you can call me Lolita. Perhaps I'm biased. But I'd visit again, no problem!
(3)Alex B.
Ok.. Food was just ok. Decore inside was awesome. Sitting on the patio overlooking Biscayne Bay is very nice. The highlight of the evening was the desert. I may give it 1 more try.
(3)John B.
Our favorite restaurant while in town from Portland, OR! Very cool and trendy environment, but casual. The service was fantastic! We both had pasta dishes and were delighted to hear that you get a free appetizer with each entree. The menu is fairly simple, not a ton of options, which we like. Good portions and delicious meal! Not too expensive either.
(5)Vanessa S.
I really like Crazy About You. The food is slightly better than Lolitas- which makes it slightly above average. But the service & ambiance are on par with it's sister restaurant.
(4)Michael L.
I can see why many people rate this place 4 stars. The good: the waiter we had was very polite and very attentive. The view is very nice with a downtown ocean view. The decor is "modernish," a cool place to hang out. Food is good and rich. The bad: Hostesses are HORRIBLE & RUDE!! They are the biggest downside to this place. The bartenders are more worried about socializing than attending.
(3)Suzette F.
This place has a beautiful view and, for the price, I might go back just to enjoy the view. That said, both times I have been here, you are bombarded with the odor of stinky bathroom as you walk in. And the bathroom is just that...stinky. Once, the toilet lid was completely removed and just left open. Gross. Moving on, food was decent. Salads were overdressed both times I went but hot items were hot and tasty. I will say that the service was really good. The wait staff was attentive when we were just a small group sitting outside in the middle of the week as they were when I was there with 50 ppl for a shower.
(2)Tom M.
One if us had the BB ribs - "awesome." Another had the salmon - "great!" I had the Crazy About You Margarita Pizza -"wish I would have had the ribs :-)"
(4)Stephanie V.
The food was good. My favorite was the quinoa spinach salad. The zucchini chicken carbonara lacked flavor. The service was fine until the end when the waiter passed by our table and took orders for other tables but yet could not bring us the check we had already requested 15 mins ago. We asked him a second time and he said someone else was in charge or bringing it. Last I checked the server is responsible for their own table, but ok. What really bothered me was the lack of accommodations. I made a reservation a couple of weeks in advance and requested outdoor seating with a view of the bay. The reservation was for 6 pm. Hostess said she could not reserve specific areas. When we got there the lower part of the outdoor seating area was empty (and closed) because it had been raining. I understand that. However, when the area was opened up we requested if we could please sit down there for at least 15 mins so we enjoy our dessert. Our request was not honored. The excuse was that there would be walk ins that might need the space. I'm sorry but I'm a customer too and all I asked for was 15 mins to enjoy the dessert and take a couple of pictures with my husband who was celebrating his birthday. Tell me if I'm wrong but I had just as much right to enjoy that seat as any other person who was a walk in. In addition, we finished our dessert and there was still available seating. So, 15 mins for customers who were already spending over $90 wouldn't have killed anyone.
(2)Roberto S.
If you are looking for a nice place to have dinner and would like a nice view, well Crazy About You is the place. We will be back again!!;)
(4)Kristen W.
Crazy About You is owned by the same people who own Dolores but you can call me Lolita. I much prefer the atmosphere of Crazy About You, as you have breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and Key Biscayne. Menu concept is the same as Dolores where every entree comes with an appetizer. Overall food is good but it's really the location that makes this place so great - oh and the $14 bottles of house wine!
(4)Stuart B.
Pretty location. Both the interior and outside seating areas are nice. Our waiter was a real character. Really seemed to enjoy what he was doing. Food was very good too. Normal sized portions (a blessing) and very reasonably priced.
(4)Cody C.
Went back for the first time in a few weeks the other night and I have to say that they have seriously improved the staff. Had the best service I have ever had there. Super attentive. Super knowledgeable. Super shocking. New spinach and artichoke dip was fantastic. They changed the crust for the calamari flatbread and now it tastes a little fried which i'm not a big fan of... but wow... best service. if they keep that up - we will definitely come more often. Pleasantly surprised. One more of those and they'll be a 4 star in my book.
(3)Daphne T.
Omg I can't believe I forgot to review this place. Anyway... I absolutely love this restaurant. I truly am so in love with this place. The location, the prices of the wine, the view, what more could you ask for? I have so many good things to say about this place. The inside bar is spectacular and cozy. The food is divine. I recommend the Chihuahua Cheese Caserole with Pesto and a Touch of Chorizo. So. Freakin. Delicious. Did I mention I can't stay away from the Serrano Ham Croquettes? Oh, yes, they do melt in your mouth, just in case you were wondering. Kobe Beef Mini Burger are aiiightttt. Much to my surprise, the bottle of wine is $13.The service is always great, friendly waiters and hostesses. They have this pretty amazing "make your own desert" it's pretty cool. Its served with a brownie, ice cream, chocolate sauce, and I think strawberries. And then they also have a message in a bottle thingy where you write something and put it in a large Jack Daniels bottle and then they choose one and you get like a free lunch or something, I cant remember. Well the location is marvelous and I can't wait to go back. Now the question is.. What are you crazy about...?
(5)Enrique C.
This restaurant is located on the Brickell Bay. Therefore, you have a great view of the bay and Downtown Miami. There is no self parking. You either park in the street or you must use valet parking ($10). The restaurant is very beautiful and has a nice wine room. The decor and the seating inside are great and the seating on the balcony is even better on a cool night. I was very impressed with the decor. The food, drinks and desserts are very good. This is a great place to take you spouse or significant other. My wife and daughter had the churrasco, my god son the pizza and croquettes from the kids meal and I had the steak with Garbanzo and Lentil soup. All were very good. I strongly suggest this restaurant to everyone.
(4)Denis B.
I went with my wife to celebrate our anniversary, the service is excellent, the menu is both simple and very attractive, the atmosphere is appropriate for a casual dinner, but it can lend itself for a semi-formal yet relaxed occasion, exactly what we were looking for.
(5)jen r.
i finally made it back to crazy about you a few weeks ago. thankfully our party of 6 got there early for our 8 pm reservations because by 9pm the restaurant was packed. it was very warm in the restaurant, we thought it was because we were sitting close to the door, but as we walked out i noticed serveral people fanning themselves in all areas of the main dining room. its summer time in miami, turn down the ac please!! anyways the menu has changed since my last visit, there are now 3 prices to choose from and still a great deal becasue you get a full size appetizer with each entree, and house wine bottle at 14 is a steal!! we had the message in a bottle dessert - create your own browie sundae - it was delicious!! none of the dishes were really standouts as far as taste or creativity. but overall you get great value for the money. dont go there expecting top notch cuisine, but if you want a fun atmosphere and very affordable food and drinks, with a beautiful view right outisde look no further!!
(4)Jason H.
The two stars are based mostly on the food, which was incredibly average in and of itself. Pair the food with the price of the food, and it was horrible. Small portions of average, overpriced food, and a waiter obnoxiously up-selling every aspect of the meal and calling me boss didn't help with the experience. If you're going on a date, the restaurant itself is very nice. The bar area is well laid out, with different seating areas and plenty of open space. In nice weather, the outdoor area has great views, perfect for a romantic date. Inside is also nice, with well-spaced tables and comfortable chairs, and slightly dated but elegant white decor. If you're a foodie looking for a great meal, this shouldn't be on the top of your list, but if you need a good first or second date spot, give it a try. Just don't expect fine dining.
(2)Thiago P.
One of the best places I've been to in Miami. Great atmosphere, awesome service, pretty good food, beautiful views!!! I was there for my wife's birthday and she also loved the place. We had croquettes and a ham/cheese combo as appetizers and these were delicious! The entrees were the tortellini with salmon and the wild rice risotto. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the fact that the shrimps on the risotto had the tails and some weren't fully peeled. Still a great experience that I will definitely repeat!
(4)Mel A.
Such a cute place! very nice for a group meal or a date! the food was great (they keep it simple) you're not going to crazy about you for an exquisite menu, you're going for the view & vibe , the house wine was awesome & very inexpensive. i had read on yelp ppl complaining about the bathrooms? i went on a saturday at 8pm and i didnt have any issues at all. I HIGHLY recommend reservations, we were 40 mins late and they held our table. parking is valet and it was $10

Loved Crazy About You. The ambiance is perfect, the service is excellent. Our waiter Joshua was super attentive and checked on us regularly. My meal was delicious. For my appetizer I had the Chihuahua cheese that was super scrumptious, also the calamari flatbread was DELICIOUS. It's a must have. For my entree I had the Wild rice with shrimp mushroom and a cheese sauce, delectable. I would definitely recommend Crazy About You and I will certainly be returning.

This past weekend I had a surprise engagement party at Crazy About You for my best friends. Being the maid of honor I wanted it to be perfect. The restaurant manager Ricky was very professional and made everything wonderful! Our table was gorgeous, our food was great, and they were nice enough to give us separate checks! Thank You! Randi

Dinner on terrace : You need a flash light to read the menu, and see what do you have in your plate. The service was the worse of the town, long, take of the plate before you finished your meal , no smile, bring the wine list after serving the first plate, If you need something you have to find a waiter inside the restaurant !, 1rst and last time I m going there.

Am I still as crazy about Crazy About You? Probably not Don't get me wrong..this place is a great choice when you are going out with a group and looking for something different. They have a menu with something for everyone and have recently made some very nice changes to the entree and appetizer selection as well. The thing is that the food is never really mind-blowing. I love the app and entree combo at the 3 price points, and I hear they have great Happy Hour specials though I am never there early enough to enjoy. The thing about Crazy About You is that the decor, view and atmosphere are really spectacular for the price. As previously mentioned it's always a good choice for a group as everyone ends up having a great time even considering that the food can be lackluster.

Lovely Restaurant, can't believe is not expensive at all. Menu is different than what I'm used too. The serrano croquetes are delicious, the Kobe mini burgers too. The drinks OMG the lemon drop & cosmo's were just perfect. the service incredible! I will definitely come back again!
(5)Agatha C.
The 4 stars indicate im a fan of Crazy About You. Am I crazy about their menu? Not so much. The only reason I am not crazy about the menu is well because im a picky eater. I'm not a fan of the menu selection, but they did have a few stuff I really enjoyed. I went for a friends birthday and came a little late. I was picking at friends food and It all tasted delicious, but what I had was the "crazy about you margarita" & a bite of my friends slow braised steak. It was delicious! The prices are reasonable and each meal comes with your own appetizer! Which I think that's pretty genius! They had happy hour which consisted of $2 Bud Lights! Score! My boyfriend and I enjoyed the outside seating area and the ambiance of the place. Will definitely come back with a more open mind with their menu selection, just because im not such a fan doesn't mean others wouldn't be.
(4)Luis R.
Excellent food and ambience. Prefer the outside terrace as it can get fairly loud/noisy inside. Service, as in the other two locations, is excellent.
(4)Alex L.
Such a beautiful place. I've been there at night for drinks n appetizers n yesterday I had lunch there for the first time. It's a great restaurant for a first date ;-) . I ordered the croquetas as an appetizer with the chicken w spinach n asparagus as my entree (remember every entree brings its own appetizer of ur choice). Sooo delicious. Didn't have dessert. I'm still on low carb. The service was very attentive. Prices are reasonable. View is absolutely gorgeous on a sunny Saturday afternoon. My date n I really enjoyed it. Hey, maybe he'll ask me on a second date ;-) Go check it out!!

Crazy About You is the foodie equivalent of "cheap chic." This sleek, romantic water-front dining (with a merciful prix fixe menu) is like that go-to, trendy dress you would never admit you found at TJ MAXX. The atmosphere channels everything you love about the other upwardly mobile watering holes in Brickell without the guilt of spending half your paycheck. The food is savory and well made, if not necessarily mind blowing, and there are few places in the area that offer a better value for the dollar. Aside from the price, you have to admit that waterfront dining is hard to find -- especially waterfront dining with such a beautiful view and beautiful people to go with it. Not to be missed.
(4)Scott T.
Last night was our first night there. All I can say is wow wow wow. For the price I can't say I have had better. The calamari flat bread was wicked good. The steak and fries made me happy. And the signature croquettes were better than the original location. The service was extremely attentive...and we all think Ariel's review below is so off the mark. No matter what you pay you expect the service to be good. We already planned a trip back and looking to have a party there! Oh...did I mention the views, the patio and the great decor throughout??? I didn't? Well you have to go see that too! Awesome.

Okay, so a co-worker had told me about this place. About their great menu pricing and also I had seen a few of my friends posting pictures from this place on different social networking sites. I decided to check this place out for myself -- and I gotta say, nothing to be crazy about. First of all, the air conditioner was broken. Which I understand, stuff happens, but it seems like it had been broken for a while because their were leaks coming in from the ceiling and they had several huge industrial fans all over the restaurant. Seeing the issue with the air, we decided to take a table outside -- which is what we originally wanted anyways because of the amazing view this place has. The table we were seated at was right by the BOH (back of house) stairs, which is where all the waiters and bus boys come thru. It was also right up against a wall and only one person could really enjoy the view, because the other person was facing the back of the restaurant. Our waitress, although very nice, could barely speak English and was not able to be helpful with menu suggestions when asked -- seeing as it was our first time we wanted to know what was best to order. The food was, eh - okay. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't something to write home about. I had the croquettes as my appetizer and the churrasco entree, I mean its pretty hard to mess those up. As it got later in the night the restaurant became extremely packed, almost too comfortable. Needless to say, we didn't stay for dessert. The only saving grace Crazy About You has its is view. Not returning anytime soon, unless obligated.

This place is ridiculous! First, let me explain that the food is no big deal at all. Know you are paying for the view. If you want to just go outside and have a drink, and someone orders an appetizer, they charge you a 10 dollar sharing fee (even if and when you order a drink). I will never come back here again! When the server or the greeter finds out you are not interested in ordering anything to eat, they come by and take your utensils (so there is no way of attempting to share a dish no one can finish alone anyway).
(1)Jesus R.
Excellent service and great food!
(4)Stephanie N.
We went back. We still had a good time, the place is beautiful, the view is amazing and the prices are some of the best in town only this time, the food was definitely not. We got a bottle of their house merlot which was $14 and actually really good, a total steal! For apps, I got the croquetas, which were creamy and super tasty, Andy got the chihuaha cheese which was tasty but on the cold side and looked like it had been sitting out for a while. For entrees, I had the tuna carpaccio with seaweed salad (which I've had before at Lolita) and Andy got the osso bucco. My tuna was on the fishy side and Andy's osso bucco was room temperature. No bueno. We did get a side of fries, though and they were super yummy and crunchy. You still can't beat their prices, I guess it just wasn't a good night for them.
(3)Elizabeth D.
Crazy About You is a superficially good restaurant. The location and ambiance are fantastic and completely impressive. I can see romantic dates starting off pretty damn well here. The food is a different story - zzzzzZZzzz. - Fish Sliders - No. Something I could have made at home. We actually had to send this back. - Calamari Marinheiro - Ok. Supposed to be avocado, tomato, red onion and calamari. There was maybe 1 total piece of avocado in there, and the calamari was"meh" in terms of flavor. Again, not super exciting. - Huevos Estrellados - Imagine a situation where a Denny's skillet is an appropriate appetizer. There you go. - Serrano Ham Croquettas - Thank god for this appetizer. Just get this if you're stuck here already. On the bright side, our server was fantastic and extremely attentive. The two bottles of wine we downed (the house wine, actually) was great. If you're at Crazy About You - go outside, overlook the beautiful Brickell Key, and kick it with a bottle of their house wine. Leave the food to someone else.
(2)Chris C.
Vastly overrated (red-headed step) sister restaurant to Dolores. Great bay views and pretty indoor dining room, but after two strikes I was out. Tried them for both dinner and lunch, and was incredibly disappointed on both occasions.
(2)Jill W.
So we have been coming to this restaurant since it opened -- great views and ambiance, but food, well, some nights better than others. Went back last night after last visit in January. WOW!! Food: GREAT!! Ordered the Spinach salad which usually comes with way too much dressing. Perfect. Then the healthy chicken: Amazing. It was pounded so flat that I first thought it was a tortilla -- but it was incredibly tasty and topped with a spinach/mushroom sauté both in a quantity that I couldn't finish. CAY has definitely upped their game , as well as the portion sizes. Add the view, ambiance and PRICE. $135.00 for four which included 3 beers and 2 glasses of wine. Back on the favorite list!!!
(5)Julie G.
The ambiance is nice, but the food was mediocre and overpriced. The service was ok. I would not go back. It's a shame because the place is beautiful.
(2)Rae C.
Good selection of appetizers that were included with an entree. The Serrano Ham Croquees were really good but the Calamari al Pepperoncini Flatbread was amazing as well as the Faux riso. Great location overlooking the ocean with nice ambiance.
(4)Billy B.
Oh my... where do i start... Went for lunch here today for the first time and i was not impressed of this place at all! I decided to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful Miami weather, the view was nice, mostly looking and facing at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the Key Biscayne, other than this, there is nothing to be " crazy about this place".. Service...waited for almost 15 minutes before someone came to the table, Oh noooo, thats a negative already.. the chairs and tables were dirty! There were 3 category ( by price) menu with appetizers included.. Well, i said, let's try something.. i got the calamari on a flat bread as a starter and a grilled chicken sandwich... The appetizer came in after 20 minutes of waiting more or less... a couple who came in much later, got their food first ahead of us????? Another " Oh noooo", negative.... The calamari was ok, nothing impressive, but my boyfriend who ordered the spring roll was happy with what he was nibbling, maybe, because of the thai sweet sauce!! Now here comes another bummer... the chicken sandwich, oh my... the bun looked terrible,...where do they shop for buns? from a dollar store? the bun was small, .wrinkled, and soggy!! Now let us talk about the chicken, it was dry and burnt! I did not enjoy my food at all... My boyfriend on the other hand, got the steak with portobello mushroom with some type of rice,....the rice looked like an emesis!! the steak seemed like it was cooked from a crock pot and was reheated!! and the carrots and sweet peas were over cooked!!! OMG, it was a disaster! The manager had the audacity to compliment us for ordering his 2 favorite menu in the house!! Say whaaat??? For the price that we paid, the food and the experience were not worth it at all!! This is all i gotta say to this place.." I am NOT Crazy about you!" and definitely not coming back!
(1)Jayme C.
Love the location and decor about this place but the service was a chaotic fiasco. It started with the waitress not being able to remember the bottle of wine that we ordered to the end of service not being able to put 6 bills together! It provided unnecessary stress for our party. This wasn't my first time here and was disappointed by the quality of service. I wouldn't rule this place out but be aware and def coome in being patient if with a big party. I recommend the calamari, short rib, risotto, and the steak. all cooked well!
(3)Jessica G.
I really LOVE this place. I don't know why i keep hearing and reading bad reviews. The price is impeccable, so affordable. Just the view leaves you in awe. Its a great vibe amazing food, great staff, great view. A++++
(5)Elena I.
We had dinner in this restaurant on March 5th, 2014. It was a great experience! I would definitely recommend this place. Our waiter was Carlos. The service was excellent! He was really attentive, professional and fast. The food was amazing and we did not have to wait for a long time. The place is not overpriced. The area outside is very beautiful. We will definitely come back!
(5)Andre C.
I highly recommend Crazy About You! This is a unique Miami experience, with a stunning view of Biscayne Bay. Spotlessly clean. Moderately priced menu. Delicious food. Young attractive crowd. Valet is $10 & busy.
(4)Tom M.
One if us had the BB ribs - "awesome." Another had the salmon - "great!" I had the Crazy About You Margarita Pizza -"wish I would have had the ribs :-)"
(4)Stephanie V.
The food was good. My favorite was the quinoa spinach salad. The zucchini chicken carbonara lacked flavor. The service was fine until the end when the waiter passed by our table and took orders for other tables but yet could not bring us the check we had already requested 15 mins ago. We asked him a second time and he said someone else was in charge or bringing it. Last I checked the server is responsible for their own table, but ok. What really bothered me was the lack of accommodations. I made a reservation a couple of weeks in advance and requested outdoor seating with a view of the bay. The reservation was for 6 pm. Hostess said she could not reserve specific areas. When we got there the lower part of the outdoor seating area was empty (and closed) because it had been raining. I understand that. However, when the area was opened up we requested if we could please sit down there for at least 15 mins so we enjoy our dessert. Our request was not honored. The excuse was that there would be walk ins that might need the space. I'm sorry but I'm a customer too and all I asked for was 15 mins to enjoy the dessert and take a couple of pictures with my husband who was celebrating his birthday. Tell me if I'm wrong but I had just as much right to enjoy that seat as any other person who was a walk in. In addition, we finished our dessert and there was still available seating. So, 15 mins for customers who were already spending over $90 wouldn't have killed anyone.

fun place to have dinner very slow service but the food was first class
(3)Julie W.
Very romantic. We had a great time. Service was A+, food was very good, place is charming, and for Miami - a AWESOME value.
(5)Nikki R.
Loved this place! The view outside is amazing! The food was good and so were the prices. The brownie with ice cream was to die for!
(5)Joseluis A.
no, im not crazy about you, crazy about you, youre ok. even though the decor is nice and the bartender was very nice and smiley. i was just not crazy about dinner and heres why. an establishment that charges you $10 to share and appetizer, where an entree is $25, i just expected a little more attention to detail. silverware. yeah. new silverware. a set for the appetizer and a brand new set for my entree. that is all. other than that, service was attentive and helpful and the food was good. i had the little ossobucco. made with a sweet and spicy sauce. i was here celebrating my friends birthday, we were a large group of friends. my dinning experience was ok so three solid stars. spoil me a bit more, get me clean silverware, make sure theres always wine on the table and keep my water refilled and this is a four star restaurant. nice view. seems like a good place for happy hour if youre into the brickell scene.
(3)Dubhe M.
Not so Crazy about You! Cool location, great appetizers, and the meals weren't too bad themselves...only dissappointment - liquor inventory :( I ask for three different shots (not publishable :)), and one ingredient was always missing - even with huge selections behind the glass case. TIP: Great for dates- has a nice section by the water. For wine and appetizers its ideal :)
(3)Megan T.
Okay, so I admit that I'm a foodie. I LOVE going to a great restaurant and having a great experience. If this experience doesn't cost me the price of a Gucci bag, even better. There were 2 reasons I loved Crazy About You and it's sister restaurant Delores but You Can Call Me Lolita. Great atmosphere and affordable food. You know what they say though. You get what you pay for. This has proven true for me at both of these wannabe upscale restaurants. Crazy About You started off with a bang. Gorgeous decor, waterfront dining and lots of candles. Sounds amazing, and it was. But, after several experiences at this very Miami, very chic spot I have to say I'm calling quits. On an outing to celebrate my sisters first trip to Miami and her graduation from college, I left more than disappointed. Great vibe. Check. Good service. Check. We started off fine. Problem number one. A group of 3-4 families with 8-10 children sitting next to us. Why this family opted to spend $20 a person for their 7 year old's birthday party rather than heading out to Chuckie Cheese, I will never know. The parents and the kids looked miserable. Problem number two. Acoustics. One of the things I most love about going out for dinner is spending time talking with my loved ones. When I say that Crazy had the worst acoustics of any restaurant I have ever been to, I am not exaggerating. We couldn't hear the waiter, he couldn't hear us, we couldn't hear each other and apparently the parents of the screaming kids next to us couldn't hear their children screaming. Unbearable is an understatement. The Worst and Final Problem. Average food. The food wasn't bad. It just wasn't good. Two TINY kobe sliders and some fries for $23 is not okay. The best item on the menu, the Calamari flatbread, went from huge to the size of a slice of bread and was so soggy it had to be scooped up with a fork. A few other dishes were passable, but again, not awesome. All in all, I'm disappointed. I don't mind spending money on a great experience, but looking at my receipt this morning I just feel a sting. A night out with family and friends is more than just dinner, it's a memory. And this memory is one that I'd rather forget.
(2)Rula S.
Great concept, but seriously BAD food. The free old pita bread and the smashed garbanzo beans are better left on the table. We ordered fried avocado, Caesar salad and the Asian spring rolls-all 3 appetizers were meh...the avocado and spring rolls were really greasy. We had 2 NY strip steaks and salmon for our meals...this was one of the worst steaks I've ever had. The salmon was also meh. The side of veges were the type you would buy frozen and were tossed with some balsamic vinegar. This place lacks anything to rave about, besides the view. I suggest going on an date here-sit outside and have a bottle of wine. Go elsewhere to eat!
(1)Fernando B.
First of all, do not leave your car in the Valet Parking. It's horrible. They took forty minutes to bring back our car and they did not respect the order in which people arrived, but instead assisted whoever they wanted. Extremely noisy. The food is okay. I would not return.
(1)Janelle B.
Once again I made my way back to CAY and this time I brought 7 friends who had never been. The concept is great and they all really couldn't believe all of the options for such a small price (the most expensive appetizer and entree combination is about $23). Everyone ordered something different so we could all taste a bit of everything. The flash fried avocados were delicious, the calamari flatbread is huge and never disappoints, the croquettas are heavenly, and the cheese and chorizo spread is also very good. For dinner we had the lentil soup, broccoli and cheese soup, the pizza, the dolphin and tuna sliders with fries, and the salmon and vegetables dish. All were very tasty!!
(4)Fabian A.
Great trendy inside. They have a fish entree (not sliders) that I can't remember the name, but it is PHENOMENAL! They also have an appetizer that I think was egg and chorizo in a skillet, which was awesome. Make reservations! The front part is a cool trendy little bar to get drinks and appetizers.
(4)Maureen U.
Beautiful restaurant, with great prices and view. I've been going there for a long time and have always had a great experience...but I guess it is because it was always a small group. I took a party of 14 last night for dinner before an event, and it was a DISASTER! The staff seemed like we were the first big party they've ever served. It was ridiculous! Despite us asking for separate checks, they of course brought us all one check. The food took a very long time, and we ended up being late to the event. But overall, the most disappointing thing for me (and why I will never go again) was how rude everyone was. They weren't apologetic for the wait time or how upset everyone was, instead they acted like we were a nuisance to them. If you don't like big groups, then don't accept reservations for big groups!
(1)Lissa B.
I went here for my birthday dinner upon a recommendation from my best friend. She had been and told me it was a neat menu concept, good prices, and a posh atmosphere. Well, it was everything she promised. Because it was a little chilly that night, and I'm "friolenta", we sat inside near the window. It was a trendy design, had great ambiance, and seemed to balance the clean modern design with character and personality just perfectly. They have a pretty nice variety in their wine list and I was pleased to see they served a Syrah by the glass. Many restaurants just rely on Cabernet to fill the place of their full body wine offering and call it a day. Syrah is such a nicer and more complex full body wine, so I'm always impressed to see it sold by the glass at a restaurant. After I ordered a glass and really enjoyed the flavor, my date suggested I get the bottle since, hey, its my birthday, we don't have anywhere to be and I'm not driving. So I agreed. I asked my waitress if we could get the bottle and have the glass count toward the bottle. Now, since I am a restaurant manager, I know this can be done, and epecially since the bottle is already served by the glass, they would just have to pour a glass out and give me the rest of the bottle. However, some restaurant managers act like this is a big deal, so I held my breath. She spoke to her manager, who agreed to do this for me. Kudos, you know how to manage. Their menu concept is almost like an extended Miami Spice menu; you choose one appetizer and then one entree. Depending on which entree you choose, your meal falls into one of three price points, the most expensive being only $25. Everything looked interesting and seemed to be latin inspired with acontemporary execution and there were a few items I wasn't familiar with. I asked my waitress the big and broad "what's good" question. She was more than willing to help me decide, describe in detail what the dishes were like, and make enthusiastic personal recommendations. I went with the calamari flat bread. My date was more decisive than I and ordered the spinach artichoke dip. My flatbread: great. The spinach dip: not great. Although nicely presented, it lacked inspiration, flavor and texture. This was the only downside of the meal. However, they replaced the dish with another choice without any fuss or frustration and the meal continued on without much more than a hiccup. For entrees, I can't pass up a good churrasco with chimi-churri sauce. My date had a flakey white fish. We both enjoyed our entrees. The shoe-string fries that came with my churrasco were a little hard and could have used some sort of seasoning or herbs or something, but not a big deal. After dinner I was enjoying the wine and out came a birthday dessert complete with a candle. First thing I can say, the presentation was gorgeous! The chef wrote on a big white plate in the thinest chocolate syrup strings a very fancy Happy Birthday and made garnishes with whipped cream and strawberries. In the corner of the plate sat an ice cream dessert with strawberry and grahm cracker crust at the bottom. It was delicious, and I'm not even much of a dessert person. At the end of the meal the manager personally brought the check, acknowledged the spinach dip, asked for our honest feedback and thanked us for coming in. He was professional, courteous, and personable. After we paid, we took the rest of our bottle out onto the patio, since I heard it was such a great view. We sat near the patio bar and looked out over the waterfront. Gorgeous views. All in all, the service was great, the ambiance was great, the food was good enough, and if given the chance to go back, I certainly would. Bonus: bathrooms were clean, had lots of full-length mirrors, and had little individual cups of listerine and dental floss. Nice touch.
(4)Claudia C.
Great ambiance, not so crazy about the food... If you're looking for a beautifully decorated restaurant with a great view, this place is def worth a try. The outdoor seating area overlooks Brickell Key and the Bay (great for a date) and the inside is warmly decorated with funky details and a cute little wine cellar. Although you can't beat the affordable prices ($20 prix fixe menu includes one entree and an app) and $13 wine bottles, the food, however, is not impressive. The croquettes and antipasto are good, so is the pizza, but don't expect to be wowed on the culinary end. Crazy About You is like going to your posh friend's house for a dinner party. She knows how to entertain but when it comes to cooking, the poor broad falls short. All in all, this resto gets my vote solely for its swanky decor, cool bar, fun atmosphere and cheap wine prices.
(3)Alex H.
This, just like Dolores (in the main part of Brickell; just off Mary Brickell), and also owned and operated by the same owner, is a classic Prix Fixe restaurant. What's Prix Fixe? Fundamentally, there are three prices for multiple selections of foods. A low, medium, and higher price are the three groupings. Each order allows for you to get an appetizer and an entree for one of the fixed prices. In this case, $16 / $20 / $24 are the group amounts. All appetizers are available to all groups. The entrees are the only differences. Portion sizes are ok, but not amazingly large. The appetizer size was smaller than ideal, but was VERY good in the taste. I had the Serrano Ham Croquettes, which were amazingly flavored. I was somewhat sad that there were so few, but it was an appetizer after all. As a main course, I had Salmon which was a reasonable size, but once again, I felt as if I could have just a little bit more. Maybe I'm just greedy with portion sizes. For desert, we had a "Message in a Bottle" which essentially is a "make your own brownie ice cream desert". When you get this desert, you get to enter your name in a giant Jack Daniels bottle for a free meal (for two). Alas, doesn't seem we won, oh well! Bottom Line: Good, but not amazing. Worth a visit if you like Prix Fixe menus.
(3)Brad B.
It wasn't all that. The food was mediocre. I wouldn't go back. The sliders were ok. I wasn't impressed at all. My family hated it. No one had anything good to say about their meals. My fiance' and I felt sick after. We both had the runs. Save your money and don't go.
(2)Alex R.
I went to this place for the first time with a large group of friends this weekend and i loved it.The decor chic/beach condo and very good looking people, most of them single I assume. The food was also very good and well priced... Check out the wine list, very reasonable. We ended up having about 7 bottles that night (don't judge me!), we were a big group. I like how the menu is set up. You pick an entree and the appetizer is included in the price. Good idea! I had the short-ribs and the Spinach and Squash salad as an appetizer, both were great. The short-ribs could have been slow cooked a couple of more hours to make them a little more tender, but good! I also had a taste of the lobster cannelloni, very creamy/cheesy with a lot of flavor. I'll be back soon!

Maybe I am getting ahead of myself with the five stars. Being that this is my first review on Yelp I'm sure I'll learn it takes much more than what I know now to be as generous as to give a place the best rating possible. But although I am new to Yelp, or reviewing in general, I am NOT at all new to dining. I know a good place, good food, good ambiance, atmosphere and service when I encounter it. My first experience at Crazy About You was a surprise girls dinner for my birthday. They had me the second I walked out to the terrace and saw the panoramic view of Key Biscayne, Brickell Key and South Beach. ::sigh:: The $13 bottle of house Cab was not too shabby either. I have a hard time finding a good bottle at the market for that much! My favorite dish was by far Mikey's Braised Short Rib over Arborio Rice in a Creamy Sauce... Oh...My...God..... My second time around was with another group of girlfriends for one of their birthdays. There seemed to be a lot of unadventurous eaters and still everyone was beyond satisfied. Pizza and sliders makes it easy to come here with your "chicken and fries" kinda friends. I on the other hand had the calamari flatbred, Chihuahua Cheese Casserole (another favorite) and the Veal Churrasco... A-Friggin-Mazing! All of it! Another great night at Crazy about you The last time I went was about 3 weeks ago. I took my parents who seem to stick to their familiar holes in the wall (which I don't blame them for) but are not at all interested in discovering a new spot. We ordered and ate "family style" Our favs that night were the Linguini Di Mare, The famous Lolita Croquetas and the Mojito Jello for dessert. Please try this if its still available, especially if you're a fan of mojitos. You will NOT be disappointed. The night was a success with the folks. So much so that they made reservations for Valentines day. I told them they were brave and should not expect the same experience on such a busy night. But I received a phone call from them around 11pm after their 3rd bottle of wine, raving about the food, the service and the price. They must have closed the place down that night because they did not sound anywhere near ready to go and yet were surely able to do so without breaking the bank. In all experiences the service has been on point. Every waiter made it difficult to say no to anything with their elaborate descriptions. The decor, the comfy chairs, the low light, the view, the PRICE, so many reasons why this place deserves five stars. Any restaurant can get that from someone one night, but their consistency, at least in my experience, makes it well deserved. I'm even going to allow myself to be a total cheese ball and say "I am CRAAAZY about Crazy About You"
(5)J M.
Went with some friends for the first time on a Friday night. We were sat outside in the terrace which I'm sure is usually a lovely experience but not when it's July summer heat in Miami. We kept looking up hoping that a fan or mister would miraculously appear. I like the way the menu pricing is setup. I didn't like to see a $10 sharing fee. I like their bar area and the decor. Great for drinks. I would probably go back again with friends. However, for me, I have limited food options since I don't like to eat meat. I like to eat light late at night so I settled on the fish sliders. So will wait a minute before I go again.

My friends kept on talking about this place not stop, so i decided to give it a try.... sadly i must say that even though is good, the overall experience was not mind blowing. the food is tasty, but nothing special, and the desserts get away just because they have weird names, once again nothing i havent tried before. the service on the other hand was very attentive and the view of the bay incomparable.

Great looking place. Front bar is charming and main dining room is cool and different. Food was very good and an excellent value for the money. I had the Chihuahua Cheese Casserole, which was pretty much just cheese dip and bread. But that was OK, cuz it was good! The Pizza I had for the entree. was awesome and huge! I could only eat half of it, my friends finished it for me. There were 12 of us for a party and we all had a good time. My only issue was with the service. Although our waiter was more than eager to wait on us, he lack of experience and training showed. One of the entrees was taken incorrectly, we had to constantly remind him to refill out wine glasses and when the food came out, none of the servers had any idea who's it was. Altogether it was a great night and I would go back again. But the wait staff needs serious boot camp.

My party and I walk in on a Saturday night to be greeted by a nicely-decorated restaurant - this was probably the only thing that was appealing about this place. We were forced to wait almost half an hour for table, only to finally be seated and see a restaurant with several empty tables. This whole strategy of making people wait so that they're compelled to order a few drinks makes sense at established places, but it was a terrible waste of time at this place. Our waitstaff was kind and attentive but also terribly disorganized. I don't see the point of having two waiters at a table when they're constantly repeating the same questions. Overall the worst part of our dining experience here was the food. It was bad enough that it took us almost an hour and a half to receive our order. My frutti di mare pasta was by far the most over-salted meal I've ever had, it was truly terrible. The tuna carpaccio and steak my friends had weren't fresh or properly prepared. You definitely have to be "crazy" to eat here

Great location, delicious food, attentive service. I had their new appetizer pan seared artichokes, which were delicious. My entree was the Tuscan salmon with vegetable tagliatelli. Also delicious. Also ordered at the table was the risotto, which is mixed a bit with wild rice and was found to be delicious as well. I will definitely come back.

All I can say is "You Can Not Please Everyone!!!" I went here with a group of 12 and plan to be there again this week with a group of 22. The decor was amazing! Our table was ready as soon as we walked in. Unfortunately, we were not. So I didn't have a problem enjoying a nice glass of wine which was only $4 by the way. The prices are GREAT. But most importantly, the company we were with was better. Yes it was laud but what do you expect on a Saturdat night with a packed place!!! Valet took a while but it had nothing to do with my dinner experience. Will be back again...
(4)Jess R.
The appetizers were great; the place is beautiful. The entrees were subpar. The mahi mahi was awful. The Mickey was not good. The only thing worth ordering was the veal churrasco.
(2)Bryan D.
It's been almost a year since I've been back, but not because it sucked. Both the food and view were amazing! The service was good! The appetizer, which was a calamari flat bread pizza was to die for... followed by a nice juicy steak with fries.
(5)Christine P.
I finally visited this place after hearing about it from friends for months. I had high hopes because of it's connection to "Lolita" ... but that's where the comparisons end. The best part of this place was the view. We got a table outside... it was one of those Miami nights that reminds you just how lucky we are to live here. Ordered the gnocchi... it was okay... nothing I'll ever be dreaming about... but definitely filling. The second best part was the dessert. We ordered the brownie with ice cream that comes with the basket to make your own sundae. We had fun coming up with some sort of message to put in the gigantic bottle. I wish I had something better to say about this place. They need to spice up the menu a bit to make me want to go back. Glad we picked it because it was a good place to showcase Miami to the out-of-town friends we were hosting... but that's about it.
(2)Jorge G.
Service was bit slow at first but got better at end. Food was excellent. Short ribs were excellent as was the gnocci. Croquetas to start as well as calamari flatbread. Will be back.
(4)Victor G.
The appearance, presentation, and location of the restaurant is nice. We went for a birthday dinner and they were also pretty nice about it (free cup of jello shots). The actual taste of the food was not that good. The chicken was pretty bland and not as big as I was expecting for the amount of money I was paying; but I guess I was paying for presentation rather than the actual food.
(3)Ray D.
Trendy atmosphere is super and on the water in Brickell area. Excellent 5 star service and the food is very good. Great time with a large party. Well priced unique entrees include an appetizer from a large selection.
(5)Diego D.
View is phenomenal, service is very good. The house wine is poor, but at $14 it was more my mistake for not ordering of their pretty good wine menu. Lentil soup is great as well. Highly recommend.
(4)Cecile S.
As I usually walk by Crazy About You when I walk the pup and already am obsessed with the view, it was such a treat to dine here. We actually attended a civil wedding ceremony on a Thursday and I was surprised at how nice it turned out. The party reserved two large tables and had a special menu for the event. We were able to sample some of the delicious croquettes and queso findido as well as breaded chicken for main course. All the servers were quick and attentive. The atmosphere in the restaurant was romantic and a perfect setting for this event. After it was over we enjoyed some drinks at the outdoor bar with the lovely view of the bay!
(4)Laura W.
I give them one star for the decor and ambiance and one star for....ok both stars are for that because there is absolutely no other reason to go back here. The drinks were mixed poorly by a good looking and VERY rude bartender. It took 40 minutes to be seated with a reservation. The waitress didn't know a thing about any of the food. NOTHING!! I have Celiac's so all I need to know is what has bread or flour. That's not that hard. rust me its not. The kids that work at my local Taco Bell know more about the food the serve than the girl that waited on us here. I totally understand needing to go ask the chef. That's fine. But this girl didn't seem like she knew what flour was. If she did she didn't have the ability to convey it in English. As for the food, I was there for a birthday dinner so I was with 5 or so other people. No one really liked their meals. Everyone gave just an "eh." when asked how their food was. If you want mediocre food at elevated prices go to Delores...Lolita. Its by the same people and It won't make you sick. That's right this place made me sick. And not sick from gluten. I had the caprese salad and it made me so sick I couldn't eat the veal I had ordered. Before I got so sick we had to leave, the salad was ok. I liked the addition of guac to the good old Italian classic and but the nausea hit me like a brick wall waiting for the next course. I I wont go into details but my body rejected that salad like Wade rejects an opponents dunk. All I can figure is that the mozzarella was past its date. No Bueno.
(2)Rebecca S.
I made reservations a month ago for my birthday. Even though the restaurant states that they don't guaranteed outside seating I made a request to take into consideration the occasion and the reservation was made for 4pm and I thought they will give me the outside seating...because how many people eat dinner a Thursday at 4pm? Well I was truly disappointed because the rude hostess told us that they had a private party outside apparently they DO guaranteed outside seating when their wallets are full enough from a party. They sat us at a table that didn't even have table cloths and when requested for one they said they didn't have table cloths for those tables. For the amount of money we paid at that restaurant I could have had a better experience for my birthday. I won't be going again. Brickell is full of restaurants to settle for mediocre service.
(2)Sharein E.
A fantastic little place I never would have found without yelp. The view is amazing. They don't take reservations for the outside and the biggest party you can fit outside is a party of 10 (the size of my party) for which there is only one table. The tables outside are bolted down so they cannot be pushed together and thus one party cannot monopolize the beautiful outdoor views. The restaurant was gorgeous...very pretty and light by only the candles and the moon. I had a spinach squash goat cheese salad that was to die for! The house red wine was also excellent and quite cheap. The waiter was very friendly and attentive and he surprised me with an adorable desert platter because it was my birthday. The plate was beautifully decorated and delicious. Overall a fantastic experience- so glad I chose to dine here for my birthday. The menu is simple but tasty...very similar to Dolores but you can call me Lolita...I think they may have the same owner because I thought the menus may be identical.
(5)Cristy M.
I can't believe I had never been here. The food, location, atmosphere it Amazing!! They have 3 set menus starting at $15 I believe and you get to choose from 1 appetizer and 1 meal. Almost like a "Menu del Dia" in Spain. The bottles of wine are $14 which is obviously an awesome price. If you like you can have dinner outside which is beautiful overlooking Brickell Key. When we went there were several large groups with parties so it was kinda loud, but it was still great.
(4)Lola P.
Eh. This place is all about the ambiance. The food is not that great. The appetizers are good but the entrees are a bit bland. They're missing some sort of kick. Bit overpriced for what you receive.
(3)Ale L.
Wow! I had to write the review as soon as I finished my dinner. Excellent food! I order a salad and the "faux" risotto and they were delicious! Excellent attention from the waiters. I called to make a reservation and even though they couldn't promise to have the exact table I wanted, they did! Great prices also!
(5)Vicki L.
The place is really nice. They need to work on getting the real NY Steak. We came for my friends 25 TH birthday and brought her an ice cream cake from carvel and they brought it to her melted they forgot to put it in the fridge. The food was too pricy for the quality. Don't pay for food here.
(2)Rob H.
Food sucks. Bland, tasteless, cheap. Will never go back ever again.
(1)Jason I.
Highly recommended to anyone who wants good food for a great price. The menu is sort of a you-pick-two pre-fixe with lots of great options for appetizers and entrees. I had the croquette appetizer which was awesome!!! My wife and I chose the braised beef entree which was very hearty and delicious. The deserts were incredibly tasty and unbelievably priced...only $2.50 each! The espresso flan was our favorite. In all, this place is a real gem... beautiful, upscale atmosphere, good food, great price. Will definitely go back next time we are in Miami.
(5)Alex C M.
I've noticed MANY people are marveled about this place. Everyone wants to know how can such a elegant looking place be so "CHEAP". Well aside from the decor which is very nice, the food is cheap.....I MEAN OF A CHEAP QUALITY. The catch is to dress up the place and then hoodwink you into believing that there is some notion of quality behind the food. Do not be fooled. I ordered the lentil soup which came cold and sent it back. The second time around it was a tad bit warm but not hot! Soup is meant to be hot unless you are having gazpacho. Next ,bring on the linguine frutti di mare. First I was given fettuccine instead of linguine pasta so whatever. It was also "F...ing" COLD! The tomato sauce was to sweet and tasted like the typical red sauce used by ABUELAS all over miami when we where kids. Basically , SALSA DE TOMATE' A LO CUBANO! YUKKKKKKKKKKK.... 2 shrimp and 5 calamari , literally. Don't plan on going back. you can keep it with all your bells and whistles. OH! , THE HOUSE WINE WAS PRETTY GOOD. and only $4.00 a glass. not bad for such shameful food.

The W and I came here on a Wednesday night after unsuccessfully trying to get a reservation the previous Saturday night. We arrived just before 7pm and it was very empty. Crazy About You is one of the only restaurants int he area that right on the Water. In fact they have an Outside Bar with a great view of Brickell Bay and an Inside Bar in the front. The menu is organized into an Appetizer Section and a Main Course. For a fixed price, you get your choice of each. I started with a Cheese Caserole appetizer and The W had a Calamari Flatbread. Both were generous portions. I thought both were very good but there wasn't any Wow factor. For a main course, I had the New York Strip with Fries. The strip was a below average piece of meat and the fries were very small, they reminded me of Shoestring Potatoes in a Can. The W had Mikey's Beef which came with a Cheese Rissota. For dessert, we had the Message in a Bottle - a prepare your own dessert with a hot brownie, scoop of vanilla ice cream, a bottle of chocolate sauce and powdered Cinnamon. The W accused me of watching too much of the Food Channel as I created our dessert. They call it Message in a Bottle because they give you a slip a paper you can write a message for a contest to win a free dinner. The owner picks the winner and you stuff it in a large empty Jack Daniels Bottle. At about 7:30pm several very large parties walked in as if they had just been dropped off by a bus. It sounds like they must cater to private parties so you should make a reservation before dining here. There is also food served at the bar. There is valet parking and nearby metered parking.
(3)Natasha T.
This place is so GREAT!!! I have always been a fan of Dolores so when I heard about Crazy About You, I had to try it! I tried making my reservation on open table but my time wasn't available so I called and the hostess was able to make my reservation for the exact time I needed it. We arrived right on time for our reso and were walked right to our table. The decor and ambiance is super trendy and sooooo cute!!! I love it!! The service was a little slow at first but improved throughout our night. Appetizers we ordered were the chihuahua cheese, goat cheese spinach salad and the caprese salad.The chihuahua cheese was my favorite, it was so tasteful and fresh! The salads were ok, I would def order the cheese again!! Main Courses were the sirloin steak and the mojo chicken. We ordered 2 steaks and had to send one back because it was over cooked. The steak is very very flavorful. The mojo chicken is bursting and I mean bursting with flavor!! I will def be returning, hopefully next time I can get a table outside though!!
(4)Fiona M.
Eek! Methinks not is right! OK, so first of all upon entering this establishment I was greeted with a very unpleasant odor. I tried to smell past it so to speak but it was unable to do so. There was a short wait for a table so my friends and I decided to get a drink at the bar. Gross! My go to drink is always a margarita so naturally i ordered the "break up to make up" margarita. It tasted like a super concentrated capri sun...weird and not enjoyable. We were then told our table was ready. We were seated and waited about 20 minutes for someone to serve us water. So we decided to leave. I am sorry but in today's economy service is everything. The wait staff has to perform if they want me coming back. The layout of the menu was as confusing as the flavor combinations. Also the menu was flimsy and dirty! A pet peeve of mine is when there are greasy fingerprints and old food particles in between the laminate and paper. In all fairness i did not actually try the food and to be honest i don't think i will go back to do so. The decor is nice (not good if that is the only noteworthy thing about the restaurant). I also remember it being uncomfortably hot inside.
(1)James S.
The pork ossobucco was very good. The salad with goat cheese and butternut squash was very good. Great atmosphere and location. I look forward to returning.
(4)M T.
Two stars: one for ambiance and the other for the good view. The service and the food were nothing special. Also, They offer a selection of pizzas but charge a $10 sharing fee. I won't be coming back
(2)Erika S.
The decor of this place is amazing.. I love the trendy cute sayings and style the place has. It is a nicer version of delores lolita. I came here with a girlfriend of mine and we sat outside for an early dinner. The service was great and the view from the outside was stunning. It made me feel like the place was more of a date spot than a girls night dinner but it was great none the less. The food was simple and filling. We ordered 3 dishes a dip and something else and then we shared a pizza. It was more than enough for us and it was very cheap. I think its a great spot I will probably visit again.
(5)Boogie B.
I loved the atmosphere, very trendy decor and very romantic! The food was very inexpensive for being in downtown Miami. With each entree, you get your choice of appetizer. I am a sucker for goat cheese, but the goat cheese salad was not good. I didnt even eat half of it. For my entree I got the tom, basil pizza. That was pretty good.
(3)Patrick K.
Great atmosphere, but eat outside. You sit overlooking the bay between brickell and the key.. it makes you wish the key's bridge would be more lit up like the mcarthur causeway, but anyways... the gnocchi, the steak and fries, the croquettas, the chicken... all great plates. Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either. The hummus and Pita substitution for bread is a fabulous idea. Get a bottle of wine and enjoy great food and service.
(4)Joel C.
I came here for my best friends birthday and have heard very mixed reviews about this place. Now after the experience I will stick with the middle ground. I love the decor and the view is worth the bad parking. The wine bar is great and the bartenders are very friendly. The service was fantastic especially with handling a big group. Now the first thing that really annoyed me was we had reservations for 8:00pm and we all got there early, however we weren't seated till 9:30pm. Now I understand this is one of the hot places in Brickell, but when you have a reservation I expect to be seated within 20 minutes of the promised time. Regardless, we were having a good time at the bar, watching a game. Their menu is a little different; there are three sections having 3-5 entrees each and it all comes with your own appetizer. Now from what I heard from the rest of my party every appetizer was amazing. I had the loaded bake potatoe soap and I literally wanted to fill a pool with it. This soup was amazing!!!! Maybe one of the best I have ever had. Another interesting one was the ranch eggs, which smelled great. Now here is where it gets weird, you would think amazing appetizers=amazing entrees, sadly no. I personally had the seared ahi tuna sandwhich. Now I love seafood!! but when you say seared tuna I expect just that, not over cooked dry fish brick between two stale pieces of bread. I can get that same sandwhich correctly made and delicious for $5.00 in the keys and this "supposedly" high end restaurant cannot properly sear a piece of tuna. Not to mention it costed around $17.00, but that soup was amazing, so I wasn't that upset. At first I thought maybe it was just me, but I realized most of the entrees on the table were either very small or so-so. I saw my friend eating the short ribs ($24-26), they looked good, but I have seen more rib meat on pulled pork sandwhiches. It really seems like there is one chef making the appetizers and another making the entrees. I will maybe give "Crazy About You" one more try, because the place has great potential and the view is just amazing and that potatoe soup, ah!!, so good.
(3)Orlando J.
Beautiful locale, full house. The staff was efficient and ready to refill your glass. Too bad no reservations accepted until half of the party is physically there. The price you pay is very reasonable if you're willing to wait over 2.5hrs for a table. The appetizers are big and attractively displayed. I opted for the "Mediterrean antipasto"; mini Spanish omelette, sliced mortadella, slices of brie and white bread mini-toast. Dinner choice was the Atlantic Cod, the right size...very garlicky. We skipped dessert, didn't notice anyone around ordering dessert. The alcoholic beverages are also reasonable for "Miami standards". Very nice evening in the company of friends (celebrating a birthday). Staff brought a small dessert for the birthday girl. Food was served promptly. Definitely a good choice if you'd want to avoid the restaurant chains but be prepared to wait.

Well, I was quite sad to come back to this location and find out Mendoza closed and was replaced by a place with a name as cheesy as "Crazy about you". The positives are the ambiance/decor. It's quite lovely inside and the view outside is gorgeous. The only reason I would ever come back (and I doubt I will) is to enjoy the outside area. The prices were much more affordable than I would expect for a restaurant in that location, however, the quality of the food suffered. I would rather pay more and get a better meal. The food and the drinks really need improvement. We came for lunch Sunday and requested a bellini and a mimosa (basic Sunday brunchy drinks). The waiter came back with my bellini, only that the bartender replaced peach juice with peach schnapps. He also apologized that they couldn't find orange juice for the mimosa (really?) but ultimately I guess they found some because they brought a mimosa with actual fruit juice to the table. Both drinks were not cold as well as the water they served us. Warm champagne is never good, but even worse when you are sitting outside in Miami weather. The food: uninspired and lacking flavor. We got the antipasto (featuring what looked like a mashed potato tortilla), serrano ham croquettes (the ham must have been there in spirit only because we didn't see it and certainly couldn't taste it), the fish sliders (zero flavor), and the goat cheese pizza which was actually really good and we enjoyed. So out of 4 items, 1 win. The place has potential, but it needs a lot of work. I'm not sure how long it's been open but if it's fairly new I'd give it a pass and hope that they improve the quality of the food in months to come.
(2)Aslamon R.
Amazing location, good price and good food. Great for going on a date. The only problem is that every time, there are very few waiters, and they are not very good. If they improve their service, i would go there more often.
(3)Laura R.
my favorite place... its so romantic, the service is awesome,after the second time i went there, they remembered me... the food its awesome... great view... affordable prices
(5)Mike L.
The ambiance was good but didn't go crazy about the food.
(3)Alicia C.
It's amazing how little people who try to be pretentious can loose money simply by not trying. We were exploring the area, as we have recently relocated to Coconut Grove and stumble upon this place with a pretty virw so we thought we would stop for drinks and and appetizer and enjoy the view in the middle of the afternoon. We wwere informed, after being sat that all menu items come with a free appetizer. Not so hungry and found sharing one appetizer would could $10.00 extra. I'm not cheap but seriously that is nuts. I'll never go again. Way to loose good money. We paid our $12.00 for two Stellas and left.
(1)Ariel G.
I actually live very close to this new place, and had some semi decent high hopes that I would actually be able to walk somewhere else instead of the incessant Miami driving. Unfortunately this place suffers from pretty much any new restaurant in Miami suffers, they try too hard to impress people with decor and misguided "ambience" instead of prepare actual good food. Inside, they did their best to present a vibe which goes with a 200 dollar evening of food, candles everywhere......white tablecloth, 10-15 waiters/help staff at your disposal. Now, the problem? The food wasn't even at a TGI Friday's level, but the menu definitely looked like it. Between Mexican "Spring Rolls", Sliders/Fries and generic fish and rice the food was vastly disappointing. In addition every minute one of the staff members would ask us if we needed anything, and repour our wine and water without asking and interrupting our conversation.....literally in a 5 minute span I'd say 3 people would offer their assistance. They were TOO attentive for a place that served me fries and a burger, and not that bright. We were 2 of 6 people in the entire place, and both tables were constantly surrounded by overbearing help staff. Also, the hostesses are dressed in miniskirts so tiny it made the place feel like a high class whorehouse. They did a great job of making us feel uncomfortable and completely ridiculous with their ambience/vibe. Never had more /overdecorated generic food in my life. Miami desperately needs food substance over presentation substance. I won't even touch the name.
(1)luis s.
What great service!!! This place has a very nice decor, and amazing views. It is very similar to Lolita's as far as the menu is concerned. Basically 15$ or 20$ gets you appetizer and main dish. My favorite part of the menu is the dessert. They have a dessert called message in a bottle (you pretty much concoct your own dessert give it a name put it in a bottle and hope to win a free dinner) that gives it a nice interaction at the end of your delicious meal.
(5)Sara S.
Keeping this review plain and simple. Great service, horrible food.
(2)Pepr P.
The concept is exactly like Dolores Lolita (owned by the same people). The AC was broken, we were sweating bullets, getting seated took an additional 30 minutes after our reservation time, service was super slow but I assume it was because the place was PACKED. The portions were tiny, I had the NY Strip, it was full of fat. Not going back.
(1)Alex S.
This restaurant has the worst valet service I have experienced in my entire life. It is impossible to divorce the two. I dined here on Sunday July 15th. Valet lost my car, they lost my key, and they had me waiting for well over an hour. Ultimately, after an hour of standing and waiting, the parking attendant at the valet stand , Orlando Fernandez, from the horrific ParkSafe Systems asked us what was the make and model of our vehicle. He asked us the same thing many times over. They also lost my keychain and key attached to the keyless remote fob. They kept giving us excuses and lies throughout the night. Orlando Fernandez claimed he gave another valet employee the wrong key. Then another employee, an older Cuban gentleman blamed the weather. Then, the same Orlando Fernandez claimed they didn't know where our car was and needed help identifying the vehicle. Then again he asked us what the make and model was. When our car did come finally, the key and keychain was missing. Now I have no way to lock the trunk or glove compartment. The employees at Crazy About You were oblivious to the whole thing and could care less. The manager, a lady, never followed up with us after she promised she would. Again, you CANNOT separate the valet services provided by the HORRIFIC ParkSafe Systems from Crazy About You. You haven't a choice here. The Food: The portions are small and the ingredients of poor quality. I could not believe I was given artificial mashed potatoes. I do not dine out to be given the fake stuff. Even whole in the wall places do boot do this. No Crazy ABout You, I am definitely not returning. I do not like to pay to be mistreated. I am by far NOT Crazy About You !

I LOVE this place!It is SO original!From the decoration to the menu,the location to the food...like no other place I have ever been to in Miami.And it's waterfront!!With a big outdoor terrace where you can either lounge on some really comfy chairs sipping a drink and looking at the water or dine at one of their tables.I think it's a wonderful concept :a nice place,good food and...best of all, really reasonable prices.The only reason I don't go more often is because I live a little far,otherwise I'd probably be there every day!I recommend the croquettes and the deconstructed mojito...AMAZING!
(5)Alissa S.
I must be honest....I wasn't sure what to expect or if I would like it. Well, I am glad to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The decor of the restaurant was very cool. It was a pretty restaurant, with a good vibe and good views. Now, on to the cost. Everything on the menu is either 15.95 or 18.95, and for those prices, you get an appetizer and main course. The menu selection was quite expansive, and I wanted to try everything! I opted for the Cesar Salad and Pasta with seafood for my main. Both were excellent. In fact, that might have been one of the best Cesar's I have ever had. My husband ordered the Cod Empanada and Calamari entree. He was also pleased with his section. Basically, this restaurant had it all. Good vibe, good service, excellent menu and at a good cost. I will definitely be going back!

I went here on a Friday night with some out-of-town guests. We didn't have reservations which was only a problem for trying to sit outside. It was going to be a 35 min wait for a table outside. We were all starving so we opted to dine inside with a 5-10 min wait. We left our name with the hostess and sat in the nice bar area in the front and ordered a bottle of house wine($13!) to start drinking while we waited. Well 10 mins go by then 20 mins and finally we sent someone up to the hostess to see why we hadn't been seated yet. Well, turns out she wasn't going to seat us until we closed our bar tab, which neither she nor the cocktail waitress bothered to tell us. She really needs some lessons in proper hostessing because that is quite possibly the worst hostessing I have ever experienced. That pretty much destroyed the mood of the evening. We were finally seated in the main dining area. It was quite possibly the loudest resto I have ever been to. They seriously need to fix the acoustics in the room because I could barely hold a conversation with the person next to me. I picked this place because I love Dolores and the food but not the wait for a table and this always seemed less crowded. I have to say the food was good bordering on great. Just a few things threw it off. I got the goat cheese and butternut squash salad which I thought was perfect. We also had the ham croquettes and the wedge salad. Corquettes = great, wedge salad= tasty but ridiculously complicated to eat because you have to cut up the huge wedges of lettuce yourself. For mains we had the grilled chicken, fish sliders, thai steak, and shrimp scampi. Grilled chicken= so-so, served in a thick sauce like alfredo. Not overly impressive Fish sliders=kinda small but pretty tasty. Thai steak= cokked perfectly but the thai sauce is actually a standard sweet chili sauce which wasn't super flavorful and the meat didn't have much flavor beyond the sauce. the shoestring fries on the other hand were fantastic. Shrimp scampi= came in a tiny cereal sized bowl with ~4 shrimp. probably could get a better deal at the Olive Garden. Dessert menu is very small with 3 or 4 items but very cheap which is a bonus. I would go back for sure but would try to make reservations for an outside table to avoid the noise inside. Also, management needs to retrain their hostess so she doesn't put a damper on anybody else's night again.

08/27/11 Sat- We were a group of 11 and we ALL loved the food, the atmosphere, the service, everything was just great. We had gone the night before to its sister restaurant, "Lolita" and some of the food was bad and so was the service. But Crazy About You was completely the opposite. This place has a higher class of atmosphere. We had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend it and would go again for sure. We had read some bad reviews about the food, but on the contrary, the food was delicious and no one got sick at all.

Great location nice decor good drinks food is HORRIBLE. Heard good things about this place and I was very disappointed. Only good thing we enjoyed were the drinks , view from balcony and message in a bottle dessert. The food is absolutely horrible. Me and my girlfriend hated everything we tried. Calamari flat bread & blackened tuna sandwich was the only thing alright .Went to El Gran Inka after

I wish I could give it 3 1/2 stars. Ok, I admit I was very hungry the day I visited but it really was good. It is at the bottom of The Mark condos. You can miss it easily if you just drive down the street. Once you enter you are greeted by one of the nicest restaurant waiting areas I have ever seen. A lot of little gathering areas with varied chairs of all styles and sizes. Check out the photos I added. We did a pre game ( Heat) early dinner. The decor is simple but still elegant. The view is amazing! We did not sit outside because it was a windy and drizzling. We had a table near the windows though. Our waiter was Cesar who was very nice. Everything is priced in groups. Entrees come with an appetizer each. Any other appetizer you want is 10.00. Meals are priced in about the 14.00, 19.00 or 24.00 ( or something close to that) that's it. Each price has about 7 entrees below it. Instead of bread, they bring you these rice chips with a cold tomato soup which would have been so much better hot. The rice cakes were blah. We had the spinach, goat cheese, butternut squash salad which also had strawberries and caramelized pecans. This was soooooo good. The cheese would just melt in your mouth and the squash which I was hesitant about, worked nicely. We also had the chihuahua cheese melt which had chorizo in it. It is served with sliced, toasted bread and it was decadent and tasty as well. For dinner we had the Chilean bass and the lobster/shrimp cannelloni. That cannelloni was the best I have had in a long time! I wish I would have had 2 of them. The Chilean bass was good as well though not served too hot. Dessert options are given in a caroussel photo holder. Instead of photos they inserted tags with the names of the dessert. They all looked ok, nothing jumped out at us. One thing is for sure, they sure do like out of the norm names for everything. We chose the " message in a bottle". It is basically a wire basket with a warm brownie, strawberries, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and cinnamon powder. The catch? You have to "create" it with these ingredients and you are given a large empty plate. It was fun doing it and the brownie was good. You then write a "message" in a paper they give you and you place it in a bottle. Once a month one is chosen and given a free dinner. Ended with 2 perfect cortaditos (hear that Bongo's?). Overall it was a nice dinner with good food, nice decor, great service and beautiful views. They can improve the rice chips or do away with them and do bread. They can also improve the desserts. The one I had is creative but at the end of the day, it's just a brownie. Oh, almost forgot, wine was served in a small rounded glass. I prefer wine goblets instead. Not completely crazy about it yet but oh so close! Try this place out!

Crazy About This Restaurant! It was my Daughter's Sweet 16. We were a party of 10 and needed an 8PM reservation on a Saturday eve. I was able to get a reservation 2 weeks ahead of time. Our party was seated promptly. We had this awesome table with a really cool driftwood chandelier over us. The overall ambience was very romantic. Lots of "dates" there. Our waiter was very attentive and explained how the Menu works. There is no sharing per se. BUT- not everyone has to order an entree. You can order some Entrees (which include an app) and just some apps alone. We all passed around the dishes and shared. Every single app was out of this world! The app with potatoes, Truffle Oil and Egg on Top was to Die for. As was the Ham Croquettes. What a Wonderful experience. If I lived closer- I would come here as often as I could. The view if you are by the windows or terrace is Beautiful- but even if not, it's a beautiful restaurant. Love it LOVE IT!

Lovely place to celebrate a birthday or any other special occasion. The location is perfect, great ocean views, soft lighting, modern and chic decor. Now, onto the food. I tried the goat cheese, spinach salad and it was ohhh so good! followed by the miso glazed salmon with creamy spinach. Both dishes were very well executed. Our waiter was extremely polite and on point....Overall, I would say our evening was a total delight.
(4)Julian W.
Magical place, great food, reasonable prices and amazing view! If you have a date to impress and don't have much money, this is the place!
(5)Stephanie F.
Horrible service. After the appetizers the server asked if we were ready for dessert, but we didn't even get our entrees. Then the manager was going it give us a discount, but then charged more than the original bill. Beautiful view - but looks like they need new management.
(1)Aida P.
This place is great. The ambiance is very nice. Their prices are very reasonable. Their menu allows you to have an appetizer, entree and a dessert for one price. You just choose which on You want. The churrasco is delicious as well as the short rib. Their customer service is excellent. This is a great place for a birthday, anniversary, etc. if you go ask to eat outside-the view is gorgeous. The only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is due to the fact that parking is only through valet.
(4)Nelly M.
It's a beautiful place no words to explain it. The outside view it's amazing. I really like this place so much
(5)David B.
Would not have been this bad if it was not for the humorously poor service. When trying to order one of the sides was faux risotto, when asked how they were prepared the server responded "well actually you pronounce it fox risotto and it's just like rice but not"...
(2)Jainiz S.
Fairly disappointed with service and food quality. Great view. Parking sucks.
(2)erika s.
This place is almost identical to it's sister restaurant Dolores but you can call me LOLITA. The food is good, the service is mediocre. For the price, I'd definitely go elsewhere. It's not expensive, but it's not necessarily inexpensive for what it is. It is average/ordinary. Definitely a safe choice for the picky eater, just not my style. I like adventures in food. It does have a great view.

I came to this restaurant with my boyfriend and another couple. Due to some scheduling issues I had to change my reservation about 3 different times. The hostesses were very understanding and helpful, even by the third time I called. Once we arrived we have to wait a little to sit down but we wanted to sit outside by the water, which was totally worth it. The food was so delicious. My entire party loved everything we ordered. Our server Joshua was very attentive and friendly, helping us with choosing dishes. After dinner, the manager passed by our table to check how everything was, something I appreciated. Overall, I would highly recommend and I'm definitely coming back!

I had dinner at Crazy About You on a Saturday night. We made reservations on a Thursday without any problems for 8PM. Ambiance is beautiful. Not only is the decoration modern and upscale but the view of the bay is just as stunning. We had some great wine and salmon and the short ribs for dinner. The ribs were amazing, so soft and flavorful. The Serrano ham croquettes are a little overrated in my opinion, I wished I had ordered something else. They were very simple. My husband ordered the Mediterranean appetizer and it was really good. For dessert we tried the "It's not an actual 'Cheesecake'" which was delicious. Our server was very helpful, checked in on us often - but not too much, and provided excellent service. Would definitely recommend the restaurant and I'm looking forward to returning so I can try more dishes. The only reason I didn't give it the full star rating is because the restaurant can get really loud and the temperature was really cold.
(4)Natacha M.
It was my first time going after many referrals. I truly wanted to see what the hype was about. Valentine's Day! There was a two hour wait since we didn't make reservations but the time flew by and the service was great. We a had a drink and appetizers with an amazing view. Once we were seated I was completely satisfied with the food. Very tasty! The menu is a bit small and the options are limited but none the less great.
(4)AshleyMarie O.
Great prices- same owner as Dolores Lolita but I find the food much more desirable - went with a group of 6 or 7 and ate on the back patio Noone was complaining as we all tasted each others EVERYTHiNGG. Yummm The prices are on a fixed menu- You pick your entree then the price of the total meal is determined by your choice of entree- Go- Sit outside- enjoy the view, the food, the service and your company :0)
(4)Didi O.
I went to Crazy About You this past weekend for a romantic date. First of all the place is so nice, the place is full of candles and nicely decorated. The host and server were really welcoming and the service was good. A couple of times the manager came to the table to make sure everything was going well. The food was OUTSTANDING! We ordered the springrolls, the chihuahua cheese caserole and the buttersquash, goat cheese and spinach salad as apetizers. They were all delicious. As main entrees we ordered the veal churrasco and the salmon w zuchini. It was impecalble. I have no complains whatsoever. I recommend that if you go and want to seat outside you make reservations ahead of time that way you avoid the waiting. Definitely going back!
(5)Alvaro S.
Excellent time. Got together with friends. Had the baby back ribs. Was delicious. Also had the capachino flan--delicious. Expressions very good. Carlos great waiter
(5)Nicolette R.
Came to Crazy About You for a baby shower and had a wonderful time. The food was delicious from the serrano ham croquettes and calamari flatbread to the Mexican caprese salad and meat lover's canneloni. The white peach sangria was delicious sans my suspicion that cheap wine was used (I had a headache by the end of the lunch). But overall, the food and drink was amazing. The view is the real treat here. It overlooks the bay from the second floor which gives the space a clean, bright feel. As far as decor, the restaurant is very trendy. I would definitely return for another event with a bunch of girls or just a casual lunch.

MORE OF A 3.5. This place really surprised me... pleasantly. When I first walked in, I expected dinner here to cost us an arm and a leg... however it didn't! On the contrary, the dinner here was a great deal. When I first saw the drink menu and the Friday night crowd that was there, I expected a snotty place with high prices. Instead, it wasn't either! While some of the people there were some trendy snobsters, a lot of the other people were groups celebrating birthdays or some other occasion. The dinner consists of 3 prices which corresponds with three sections. There's pizzas, pastas, and then meats. Each dinner comes with an appetizer so I thought that was totally cool and a great deal. Just because these appetizers are coming with your entree doesn't mean that they're going to be small, because believe me, they are NOT small. If i had gotten the calamari appetizer, I think I would have been full from just that! Good thing I didn't. My eggplant app was delicious and my Kobe beef sliders were yum too. The bf's beef was a bit too salty and I know he didn't enjoy it very much. My friend got the churrasco beef and that dish was pretty tasty too! So food wise, I feel like its a hit or miss depending on what you order. One thing I really enjoyed here were the drinks. They were delicious! O and a wow factor, you can get a bottle of wine here for less than an entree. Pretty cool right?
(3)Miguel F.
It was just okay.. probably won't be going back... Best thing about the place is the view... if you can sit outside then do so. The food was okay.. nothing special. One good thing they have is with whatever entree you order you get an appetizer also included in the price -- so that's a pretty good deal Spicy -- croquettas -- the same as from Dolores so they are pretty good. the view -- on the bay, you can see Brickell Key, Key Biscayne, etc... very nice Medium --my friends seemed happy with their meals, including some cheese appetizer and the pizza Mild -- Flat Iron Steak -- it was overcooked and it was supposed to be cooked in a Thai Marinade... well it lacked some flavor and I wasn't digging the soggy and salty fries. I was not impressed at all with the food, friends ordered a dessert and they basically had to make it themselves, very bizarre. Best part about the meal was catching up with friends.... next time we'll pick another spot though.
(2)Carlos R.
-If you are going to make me wait 35 minutes past my reservation time, then ITS NOT A RESERVATION. My wife works at 6 am, so I only go to places that take reservations to ensure i get out at a reasonable time. -Too loud -Beautiful decor -Food is average,
(2)Jessica B.
We went to Crazy About You, with some friends for dinner. We started off with cocktails then dinner. It was a Tuesday night so wasn't as busy, however our waitress appeared overwhelmed and didn't come to our table very much. The ambience was great, but service not so much. People came and went and our waitress wouldn't appear, finally after about an hour she came by to give us the bill. Now about the food, I had a spinach salad which was okay, and the calamari which was okay also. Nothing really to write home about, luckily I was in good company so wasn't so bad. Probably wont be going back.
(2)Lynn C.
Sorry but I am not Crazy About You! The ambience, view and whimiscal feel cannot make up for the poor service and bad food. Crazy About You is owned by the same people as Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita (which I love btw) but I just didn't have the same love for this place. We came on a Saturday night and were able to sit right away, despite not having a reservation. Sat in the dining room (30 minute wait for the outdoor area which is beautiful because it overlooks the water). Food is reasonably priced, but it's not just good. I had a cold appetizer and Hubs ordered a hot one - the Huevos Estrellados (shredded potatoes, mushrooms and white truffle oil) but the appetizer was cold and not good as a result. For our main entrees, the kitchen must have forgotten about us because we waited almost thirty minutes! The waiter only came over to check on us once during that time and realized we were still waiting for our food. I had the lobster and shrimp cannelonni which unfortunately was undersauced and the pasta shell was hard. :( Hubs' dinner was better than mine - he had the gnocci. By this time, we were not in the mood for dessert and it took too long for the waiter to bring us our check. I understand that it's a Saturday night and it's busy, but it only takes two seconds to come over and check on your table. Overall, it was a cheaper costing meal, but I wouldn't recommend it b/c it's not good food or a good experience.
(2)Ingrid D.
Ok, so the place is really cute, very romantic too. The food is tasty and the staff is very nice. It was a very chilled evening and they had blankets to their guests. I didn't think it was expensive at all, my boyfriend and I had a bottle of sparkling wine, a meal each. With every meal, you get an appetizer. The food portion is perfect, not too much, not too little. We also ordered desert, and the bill came to be less than US 110. 00 . Not much of food choices for people that are vegetarian (my boyfriend is a vegetarian and he had spring rolls with risotto, we asked the staff to remove the shrimp) nevertheless we did not expect to see vegetarian options, we are open mind about it. The place had a great ambience and music on the background, this is a place you should get your partner to go and have a nice drink and some food by subset hours- right in front of the ocean. I am pleased and I recommend for anyone looking for just a relaxed dinner, not too fancy, not too casual, with the right price.
(4)Scott D.
Loved this place. They have a great location and their service is good. Loved the food, and the date I had with my girlfriend.
(4)Jacky G.
Location, location, location. This place is perfect for a night to go "crazy about someone" but not to go so crazy about the food nor the service. To start with, the bar area has a really nice vibe and its nicely decorated. The restaurant is situated right by the water which makes it a beautiful place for a romantic night with your significant other. However, when it comes to the food, it wasn't bad but its not great. The only thing that was amazing, was the spinach & goat cheese salad w sesame dressing. Out of hand! Everything else we had was just ok. I'd go again though, just to enjoy the nice ambiance and views with good company.
(3)Michelle S.
Nice romantic date experience as a first time candle lit dinner...Not so crazy about the food.
(3)Cynthia M.
The food, ambiance and gorgeous view make this restaurant a great place for a date notwithstanding the suggestive name (luckily my date wasn't too worried about being "cheesy"). Reservations are unavailable for the outdoor terrace, which is where you want to sit on a lazy late afternoon to enjoy the beautiful bay view and breeze. Portions are ample enough to enjoy and share. Nothing that we were served was spectacular but tasty nonetheless. The price of your entree choice includes your choice of appetizer and the portions really require sharing or you'll risk busting your belly. Everyone at the table must order an entree according to the menu, or you'll be charged a $10 sharing charge! Having read about the $13 bottle of house wine (chardonnay, cab, or merlot) we tried it and were pleasantly surpised at its quality and quaffed two bottles in lieu of the tasty sounding desserts. I liked how the wine was served in stemless glassware. I also appreciated the fact that each table is provided with a large bottle of filtered water, which is quickly replaced with another once you run out. And maybe it's cheese-lover in me, but I thought the server's name tags pronouncing that they were "crazy" about me were cute too. Service, however, became less attentive once the place got crowded and we were ready for our check. I can't wait to come back here with friends (or on another date!) to enjoy the food and view. Having seen how this place gets packed, I'll be sure to get a reservation or come as soon as it opens at 5pm to snag a table outside.
(4)Jamie C.
I had dinner here with a big group and fell in love with this place. Its decorated so warm, and cozy, candlelit tables with attention to detail all around the room. The back dining room has beautiful views of the bay and key biscayne. The menu has 3 price points with plenty of entree and appetizer options for each. All the food was delectable, and so impressive for the price. The house bottle of wine is $14, crazy, but it was actually decent wine. I really enjoyed my dinner so much that i made reservations before leaving to come back the next week.
(5)Marine F.
Overrated.
(3)Mercedes B.
If you are in your 20s this is the place for you, super noisy, I took my niece to celebrate her 35 birthday. We asked to be moved since we couldn't do anything else but look at each other's disappointed faces. Even at the new table, the noise level was Unberable. The service was good but the food wasn't great, appetizers were also OK. This restaurant could benefit by assigning a different area for large parties.
(2)Lauren C.
Service stinks. Food was nothing to die for. What makes this restaurant is the view, decor, and location.
(3)Elana F.
Upon pulling up to this location I noticed that it was valet only and the location itself screamed expensive! In fact, the first time I went by, I decided to come back another day when I was dressed a bit more appropriate and had a little extra cheese to splurge. When I finally made it back, I was pleasantly surprise by the decor and the prices on the menu. With the purchase of an entree (most expensive is $23.75), you get an appetizer of your choice, and a brisk glass of chardonnay, merlot or cab goes for $4 a glass or $13 a bottle! The atmosphere is awesome, and the prices allow you to feel like a real Brickell Girl! Not to mention, the view of the moon is killer!
(4)Vanessa S.
In the background, the theme song from Sex and the City is playing, at the table, six friends who, despite crazy schedules and bs manage to sit down to a meal together for a special occasion. The moment I walked into the front door, I knew I had made a good choice, this place is beautiful! So clean and simple, but still warm and inviting. We sat outside (duh, it's gorgeous out) and started reading the menu. No one had really settled on what to order, until our exceptional waitress Vanessa came by and started describing all our choices. Everyone was either wiping up their drool or debating whether or not to change their order. The food starts to come out and we were blown away. One of the great things about this place is the price includes your appetizer! So we each had an app and an entree, making sharing so deliciously awesome! The 13$ bottle of pretty decent house wine certainly helped the food go down.. Almost everyone had a box of food to take home, but despite this fact we ordered a couple of their desserts. The message in a bottle was way too much fun to be having at the dinner table, I was writing everyone's name in chocolate sauce, but the show stopper was the cappuccino flan! I think it was Cookie Monster that said, "Nom, nom, nom". A shot in the dark that turned out exceptionally well, these folks have done good and I'll be back to eat their goods again!

Let me start by saying this restaurant has one of the best locations in Miami with an amazing view of the bay and a great ambience. It's a cool, chic restaurant that offers the best value in trendy dining. I had been to crazy about you twice before and had really enjoyed the food and experience. Last week, we went to celebrate my birthday here with my family. We were a group of 13 and the restaurant had reserved an area for us. The food was just ok, not as good as I had remembered it. We were limited to 4 appetizers because we were a big party. We chose the croquettes, the calamari flatbread, the Chihuahua cheese casserole and the huevos estrellados. They were all good except the huevos estrellados. Then I had the short rib for my dinner and it was nothing to brag about. I love short rib and order it almost always when I see it on a menu but this one lacked taste. And the mashed potatoes it came with tasted like it was instant mashed potatoes out of a box, the kind that you just add milk and butter. Not good at all! But my cousin ordered the Ossobuco and that was pretty tasty. Overall we had a great time and our family ended up sitting in our table till the restaurant closed, drinking and talking, and no one asked us to leave so that was great too.
(3)Elena I.
Gorgeous pace with an amazing view. Luckily the view and very nicely priced wine ($13 for a bottle of their house wine) will keep you entertained as the service is a bit slow. I ordered the salmon and it was not cooked to my liking although I specifically asked the waiter twice. They did offer to remake it but by then I wasn't even that hungry anymore. We sat outside and the view really is stupendous - it made up for everything else.
(4)Ashley T.
A few weeks ago myself, my boyfriend, and another adorable couple went on a double date to Crazy About You. Being a fan of Doloras..Lolita we thought we would be in for a delicious dinner. The place itself is in a nice location (on the water although it was dark) and the decor is cute, but it was very loud, ehhhh service, and not so delicious food. Starting with the drinks...most of us had a drink selected from there cocktail menu. I had the one with champagne and chambord which was decent (I mean you can't really screw that up), my boyfriend had some blushing Johnnie which tasted like Robitussin cough syrup, and finally my friend had some other comso like cocktail which again was not so great. I do have to say they give you these rice cups with a tomato bisque like sauce which was good. Next came the appetizer...my friend and I had the spinach salad with butternut squash, it was good but very over dressed and they could have done something with the butternut squash beside just cook it (no seasoning). My boyfriend had the Mexican caprese with the most unappealing tomatoes ever. I mean how do you serve an unripe tomato?!!??!!?!? Finally, my friend's boo had a Caesar salad with a dressing that tasted like pure mayo which Paula dean wouldn't even eat. On to dinner had the cod with broccolini and tomatoes which was OK except for the mayo/butter topping I had NO IDEA came on it. My boyfriend had the frutti de mare which he said was ehhh. My friend and her boo had the rustic chicken and mini burgers which they said were OK. All and all I would say it was not as we hoped and will probably never go back.
(2)Alina R.
I really don't know how they do it. How can they be so inexpensive while offering great food (appetizer plus entree for either 15.75 or 19.75) and a spectacular view? This is pretty much unheard of in Miami. This is Dolores' cousin over at the Mark and you should go try it. The ambiance was great and felt festive. I had the Mediterranean antipasto (mortadella, tortilla espanola, and brie) followed by their goat cheese and caramelized onion pizza). It was way too much food for me...you would expect small portions at that price, but you'd be wrong. OH, I almost forgot!! I had a strawberry mojito (sort of) at the bar. It tasted like a mojito except it had basil instead of mint. It was soooooo good! I'm actually making my next reservation as I write this review. Try it!
(4)Natalie S.
Went here just the other night to celebrate my birthday, it was my first time and we had a wonderful night. The decor is gorgeous, the view is really nice, and the food was delish. We were a party of eight, and we all left more than satisfied. Their salads are very fresh, their Serrano ham croquettes were soo yummy. I also ordered the Mikey's Slow Braised steak; it was perfect. We will definitely be returning.
(4)Natalie Q.
Beautiful location, nice decor. Don't expect them to respect your reservation time. We had reservations at 9:30pm, didn't get seated until 10:45pm. The hostess's response when asked about the reservation time, "Yeah, but you're gonna have wait." The food was terrible. The only thing worth eating was the croquettes. But I mean really how can you possibly mess up with those? Really not a place for dinner, more of a casual drink pre-party warm up location. I won't be gong back, wouldn't recommend it either.
(2)stephanie v.
This place is unbeatable for its decor, view, prices, and service. There are not many places in Miami that offer the same experience for this price. The view is just AMAZING, overlooking the bay. It was beautiful in sunlight (when we got there, early evening) and at night (by the time we finished our dinner). The food is the same as you would expect from Lolita's - good portion sizes, good flavor, and variety. This is a great place to take a date and or bring some visitors without breaking the bank. They give you pita bread with some red pepper hummus, which was yummy but not amazing. We ordered the lentil soup, spinach salad, and the flash fried avocado appetizers - all of which were very good. As entrees, I ordered the half roasted chicken and my two friends both ordered the zuchinni spaghetti. My chicken was very good, I ordered it with the arugula and roasted tomato salad instead of the spinach/artichoke side it came with. I love it. It was light and healthy, but flavorful. I didn't try my friends' dishes but they said they liked it (although heavy on cheese, which doesn't sound so bad to me!). We opted not to get dessert :( I will definitely be returning to Crazy About You, despite its cheesy name!
(4)Nadia B.
Well I can start off by saying this place is beautiful! The waitress that took our orders she was very nice and attentive. I didn't get a chance to eat outside just because it was windy but if it wasn't for that, I would have. The appetizer calamari was a total delight. The main course I ordered were Kobe burgers so good! This place would be great to come with family and even on a date. I'm definitly coming back.
(4)Michael S.
Interesting concept for a restaurant. Three columns of entrees, each column priced slightly differently with a large selection of appetizers that is included in the price. Each of the three columns is priced reasonably especially considering that the appetizer is included. They also have a reasonably priced wine list but the markup on the bottles is at least 2.5x. Unfortunately when we were there they were having problems with their AC and had lots of portable units installed, including on the patio, blocking a large portion of the view of the bay. All of the food we had was OK, there were four of us eating and we all tried something different, but none of it was outstanding. This seems like it could be a nicely priced neighborhood joint except for the large, loud crowds, many celebrating some special occasion. There was no sound absorbing material in the dining area which only made it that much louder.
(3)Roger K.
This is supposed to be a fancy restaurant and the decor of this place looks that way. It is beautiful inside and I was hoping the food and service would match. It didn't. The service was not friendly at all. The food was just OK. I have had better at Chili's. I had a flat iron steak and some cod empenda's for $25. It was super cheap, but the portion sizes matched the price. I would rather pay more money for better food and better service.
(3)Marthis N.
amazing place with waterview
(5)V. H.
I came here on a Thursday for an early dinner with a friend. It was a beautiful day so we chose to sit outside next to the water. They had a somewhat lively bar outside next to the tables so its a pretty place to grab a drink. All the servers we encountered were friendly and helpful. As far as the food goes, I had the calamari flatbread. It resembles pizza with calamari as a topping. Since im a fan of both things, I enjoyed this appetizer. As an entree I had the flat iron steak with shoestring potatoes. I asked for the steak medium rare but it was cooked more medium. The steak was just okay. I would have liked a little more of the glaze over the steak to compensate for the temp which it was cooked. Overall for the price of this meal and the views from the outside tables, I consider this a good deal.
(3)Janine R.
Unlike the previous reviews I had a great experience at Crazy About You. The spawn child of Lolita's in Brickell, brings a cool vibe to the Brickell Bay area. I absolutely loved the interior design. The designer was very attentive to detail and this place definitely brings that charm that Lolita's does so well. The food concept is pretty much the same as Lolita's, two differently priced sections that come with an appetizer of your choice. I really liked the variety of food that was available on the menu. Everything from pizza to steak. I had the goat cheese and carmaalized onion pizza that was delicious. My boo had the Thai Chirico steak that was just as tasty. Another great deal at this place is the wine for 3-4 bucks you get a glass of wine and for 13 bucks you get a whole bottle. The dessert was extra delicious only because I got to make it! Yes, the "Message in a Bottle" gives you the chance to create your own dessert and write a clever little message at the end. The message is then placed in a huge bottle where the staff every month picks out the most creative saying and the winner gets a free dinner. Not only was the food great, but the service was impeccable. I happen to like the over attentive waiters. There are not enough places like this that actually tend to your every water refill. This place gets 5 stars and will be a regular spot for me.
(5)Taylor P.
I really enjoy Crazy About You. The food is always delicious the service is decent (not great, but I've never had an issue) and the ambiance is fantastic. I would not necessarily go here for dinner often because the menu is set up in a way in which you order an appetizer with a full entree...too much food! However, I absolutely LOVE it for a happy hour and appetizers off their happy hour bar menu.
(4)Arly M.
My review is from a bridal shower perspective. I arrived to the bridal shower and thought it was a good location. The decor is cute and I am sure it has nice views since it is on the bay but I never went outside. The food however was bland overall. The Serrano ham croquettes were okay but nothing special. Even the salad seemed to have something missing, it was "the real ceaser salad." The entree came out cold: " I'm crazy about you Margherita- chicken cotoletta alla milanese." The only good part of the whole meal was the Cappuccino Flan but again it was good not excellent. All in all I didn't really eat at this bridal shower because I was so disappointed in the food.

Came here for a Sunday funday brunch. Went with the chicken and waffles, if you like a nice big piece of friend Chicken on a waffle then go somewhere else. When my food showed up there was 3 of the smallest chicken strips on a over cooked crunchy waffle. I would have probably been better going to the 7eleven across the street ordering some of their chicken strips and grabbing a box of ego waffles from their freezer. My girlfriend ordered the short rib eggs Benedict. She enjoyed them for about 30 minutes, then she found out that this item must have been from their full body cleanse part of the menu. If your relationship isn't at the level where it's cool for your girlfriend to take a shit every 5 minutes at your apartment then I would suggest going somewhere else. So much for a Sunday funday.

First time visiting this resturant. I would like to say that the staff is definetly friendly. Love the view here, definetly recommend for that. I will get straight to the point the food (atleast for my experience) definetly was not the best. I ended up not even eating my food, it really didn't even taste good. But good thing the prices are reasonable. This is a place I definetly recommend if you have never been, just to experience it. But don't expect much from the food. Drinks are great though!

The only thing I'm crazy about this place is the view and service! The food is OK. Nothing special; nothing memorable. Tip: Dinner menu is better than the brunch menu. For brunch we had waffles, with scrambled eggs, bacon, patatas bravas and a croissant sandwich. It's really sad to say but I probably enjoy Denny's breakfast more than this. If you had patatas bravas before in a real Spanish restaurant you are then going to be disappointed by these. Patatas bravas are supposed to crunchy, full of flavor and spicy; and these were bland, soft and dipped in a weird tomato sauce. The eggs were nothing special, the bacon was not cooked properly and the croissant sandwich looked so sad that I didn't even try it. Needless to say good service and a nice view is not enough for me to go back!

Late night dinner with my friends, and I must say, given the fact that they have other 3 restaurants, I was surprised on how good it actually was. The place is big and they have a setting outside that you can see the bay, it also is nice cause they have more of a lounge feeling, with candles and music. The food is also a good deal. For whichever entree you get, you got to choose a appetizer free of charge, amazing! The food was good, and the portions were big as well, including the appetizer. They also carry a good selection of wine and sparkling. I would definitely check out this place and/or come here again.

One thing you want from a place called "Crazy about You" , is ambiance. And here the ambiance is 10 star. Drinks on the Miami Bay, like yoga for your soul. Tonight was no different. A beautiful night. The Miami weather is a great help. The breeze seems to always be perfect here. The lighting weather day or night always reflects a tranquil place. They usually play different types of lounge music, tonight was Brazilian. I don't come for the food but I can say it's pretty good. The menu is a little high but the place earns it. If you are going for s night with the family, maybe not for you. But for a drink on the Miami bay, can't beat it
(5)Gaby F.
Ive been here twice. Love it both times. Time to seat was a lot less than anticipated; good start. Food was a little bit saltier than my usual, some plates not all of them(the potatoes with eggs for example), but so so yummy. I love the ambience here. I'd say romantic. Come with your partner or with friends and you'll be pleased. Service was good, no rushing and very polite. Good service always makes a difference.
(5)Marina A.
Gorgeous waterfront view, excellent excellent service, beautiful presentation. Caesar salad is served in a jar, shaken and then put on a large plate. Very creative. Good taste. Flat bread is good but needs to be a little more crispy. Gnocchi is very good. Salmon was ok. Cappuccino flan one of the best we ever had. Overall great place to go for a fun night but no to expect gourmet or foodie type of food. Prices are way too cheap for a location and service.
(4)Caitlin O.
Was disappointed to not be able to sit outside for dinner, but the inside is funky and fun! Dinner was delicious, and they have a funny menu concept where you order an entree and it comes with a 'free' appetizer. All the food was good and interesting, and our waitress was very nice. However, we went outside to the back patio and had a round of drinks, and the bartender did something comically rude. Our party was myself and my friend who are both 30, her little brother who is 23, and her mother how is in her 50s. When the 23 year old ordered the bartender asked for his ID. I ordered and he asked for nothing, and my friend ordered and he asked for her ID! We all laughed but cmon buddy no reason to make me feel like the grandma! Be polite and indulge me too. Also the mojitos he made were disgustingly sweet, we preferred the ones from the inside bartender.
(4)Melissa M.
I was very pleased with my experience at Crazy About You. First of all, the decor is absolutely beautiful. The prices here are very reasonable. They have house wine (red and white) that is $5 for a glass or $15 for the whole bottle! I ordered a bottle of the $25 Sauvignon blanc which was great for such a reasonable price. With any entree you order you get a free appetizer. My friend loved everything but was not a big fan of her entree, the rigatoni with spicy sausage. You must get the fried green tomatoes with garlic aioli, unreal!!!
(4)Ms. K.
I didn't know what to expect because the reviews were so mixed both good and bad, however I really enjoyed myself! The food was delicious and the waiter was awesome! I will be coming back, the only thing I would change is the lighting is was really dark out we had to use our phones to see the menu.
(4)Steffi C.
I am crazy about this place... I went on a Thursday night with my husband, we had reservations for 7PM we arrived a little early at 6:30 so we had to wait a little. At 6:55 pm I went up to the host and asked if our table was ready and she's like "do you want to sit now?", she seemed lost and not focused. Anyway that was the only little issue at first but after that everything went well, we sat outside I loved the view, it was spectacular. My husband had the Antipasto Appetizer and I had the cheese casserole, I liked mine better it was so yummy I recommend it. For entrees, my husband had the Angus Grille Churrasco, and I must mention he is very picky with how his meat taste and he said the meat was very good especially with the chimi churri sauce, he loved the flavor, his side was mash potato sprinkled with a little bit of sausage on top, he liked that very much too, even though he is not a big fan of mash potato. I had the "I can't believe its not Pasta Carbonara with chicken" dish, I recommend this for the ladies that love pasta but are trying not to break the diet since its made with zucchini noddles and not actual pasta. It was truly delicious and would like to add, I too am picky with the flavor of my food. I really wanted a dessert but I was too stuffed for anything else plus the hubby and I are trying to watch our weigh so we skipped that. Our waiter was Cesar, his service was very good, I read many reviews before stating that the service sucks but I guess we were in luck to have Cesar. Bottom line: Go check this place out.
(4)Rodrigo A.
Great option for a brunch near the river. The food is really good and the place is nice. Very good options in the menu. I recommend this place for lunch and dinner!!
(5)Max T.
Amazing location overlooking the water and reasonably priced for a miami restaurants. Bottles of house wine are also reasonable. Definitely worth getting a table outside if you can and would be even better during happy hour for half priced bottles of wine! I very much enjoyed the food and the fact you get an app with each entree without having to spend $50 a person (not including wine).
(4)Monica R.
We came here with my family right after my small, simple wedding ceremony. The service was great from the start, they were very accomating and nice. Our server was super friendly and made sure everyone was comfortable. We sat outside even though it was a hot day, because you can't beat that view. We were lucky to find that we were in time for the weekday lunch special. Everything we order was delicious. Everyone loved calamary flatbread, and my husband loved the croquetas. The drinks took a little whole to come out but they were good, and the server was nice about the delay. Overall, we loved this place. We returned on a separate occasion a week later and the service and the food was equally great. We'll be returning as often as we can.
(4)Pam S.
Atmosphere and food and service amazing. Flatbread was innovative and Delish. Manager came to the table to check. Just great service. On Brickell Bay which is beautiful day or night. The restaurant decor brings a modern yet homey vibe.
(4)Doris L.
I don't have anything new to add in case you have browsed through all of the other reviews. The running theme here is that the view is the best part of the place. It is very cute for a brunch or little girlie thing outside (I don't know, it gives off an estrogen vibe - don't ask). The service is slow and a bit on the lazy side. Considering this place is not a bargain, they should really invest in some training or just hire better servers who know how to do more than just bring you food and the check - the latter of which should be reviewed carefully as two tables in our vicinity and our own caught some errors. The lunch specials were good, but I think I was the only one at my table that really liked it- the rest were just OK. I had the Faux Risotto with wild rice, shrimp and mushrooms. It's the white truffle oil - impossible to suck.The lunch specials have different price points so there are good values to be found during daylight hours. Not crazy about you, You, but, hey, its Miami- it's better to look good - and this place is cute and has a nice rack.
(3)Keisha W.
I came here to treat my husband for his birthday.. I made reservations for us a few weeks prior( the reservations do not guarantee outdoor seating) which i believe is best part. Overlooking the ocean. The decor and atmosphere is definitely top notch and the valet is very affordable and convenient being in Miami. We both ordered the salmon. It tasted very fresh but the menu seemed to lack a complete meal.. Most came with a protein and a starch or a protein and vegetables.. With no option to add either to your meal( according to my waiter). Portion sizes are not large. So I wouldn't suggest coming here if your starving. The Caesar salad was the best I have had in years!! Ps.. If you can remember take a look in the bathrooms.. It's pretty epic. Overall, if your looking for a nice place to go and have a fancy meal and are not starving I would suggest this restaurant.
(4)Sandro G.
Great food and service I have been coming here since they have opened and love the atmosphere it's just perfect all around. I have been there with my girlfriend plenty of times and always enjoy every minute there. I strongly recommend going there for any occasion.
(5)Shelley B.
I may have turned into a finicky eater but.. only thing good about this place is the view and drinks. Two words: Food Sucks. Not tasty at all. And here's the best part..it made me sick. I've got explosive diarrhea. TMI I know, but it's the truth. NEVER AGAIN.
(1)fernando r.
Big crowd on Friday night. Expected. It is Miami. Wait time 1 hour in the terrace. Normal. It is Miami. Bartender in the outside bar. Cute girl. I asked for a bottle of wine for my gf and I. Bartender seems annoyed. Normal in Miami I ordered the churrasco fixed menu with the quinoa salad. The problem is that the churrasco steak was preheated. It tasted like eating a leftover steak. Amazing venue. Great views, but the food is below par.
(2)Luxury23 2.
Great restaurant, the food is amazing, great service, beautiful view, affordable and the ambiance is excellent. I've been here 3 times already.
(5)Kimberly K.
I came here on a Sunday night around 8pm for my friend's birthday dinner. Parking was a hassle to find since it's in brickell, so I decided to just go for valet since I was already late. Luckily, valet was only $10! Upon entrance, a Giant pink teddy bear is posted to your left, HOW CUTE! Total selfie set up. Haha. There's two rooms inside crazy about you, the bar room which is my personal favorite! And no not because of the tremendous happy hour menu... But because of the ambience it brings. There's a soldier of colorful teddy bears lined up, couches, a lot of bean bag chair like things for you to sit on (except they're smaller and look more like saks, but same ordeal as a beanbag and just as comfy). There's also a few little tables as well. The dining room is super cool. I enjoyed the light fixtures and candles lined up along the wall! They have a little box on each table for you to put your cell phones in to "improve gastronomic experience", right on! I really dig that :) they start you off with little sticks of bread + Olive oil and vinegar to dip in. Since I wasn't too hungry, I opted for the appetizer calamari pepperccine flatbread. I LOVED IT! This flatbread was absolutely flawless! Chopped up bits if pepperccine mixed into whole circular pieces of perfectly seasoned calamari on top of a flatbread cut into six pieces. If you like spicy, this isn't spicy at all, it's just bursting with flavor. If you don't eat spicy often, then this might be a little spicy for you but I still recommend it. I loved their bathrooms. Very clean, BIG stalls, mouth wash and floss was provided. And there's little TVs on the sink showing something, which amused me because I don't go to super fancy restaurants and see things like this often haha. There's also an outside seating area with a glorious view of the city behind the water. Very romantic! As for birthdays... They gift you a little cup of cheesecake base with ice cream, whip cream, and strawberries on a large beautiful plate where they write "happy birthday" in chocolate syrup and of course, sing happy birthday!
(5)Gabriel T.
Last visit on father's day was not as great as we wished, we was sit at inside across from the kitchen doors, it was loud and hot, the open and closing of the doors killed our dinner. The server did a good job.
(3)Andrea P.
Absolutely in love with this restaurant. This restaurant works like its sister restaurants, Dolores but You Can Call Me Lolita and Love is Blind. All great but this one has the best view with a romantic setting. Every detail is thought out, to the way they bring out the food and serve you. The menu prices range from $18-$35 per person but all include an appetizer. For the appetizer I would recommend the calamari flatbread. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, I can't get over it. Overall great experience :)
(5)Andrea V.
When you walk into the venue, you love it's ecletic feel. At first is the lounge then you walk into the restaurant. I truly loved the decorations. We decided to sit outside, to enjoy the view of the bay. The menu was very funny and quirky. The menu had various items to choose from. You are first-served some nice pieces of bread with olive oil, which tastes like it was made fresh in the kitchen. I chose to eat the "I can't believe it's not pasta" which was made with zucchini like noodles. I thought it was Genius. Even though it is creamy, The pasta like feel was hearty and healthy. Then we had the message in a bottle dessert. The attention was wonderful by the staff. Also their lemonade is homemade, which helps with the Heat of Miami. At the end the manager came over, to make sure we enjoyed everything. I recommend this restaurant.
(5)Juan C.
Food is OK...the best thing about this restaurant is the view. We had our empty plates in front of us for 25 minutes, at least!!! We then asked for the happy hour menu, we got it and ordered. When we had to pay they told us happy hour was only at the bar.... And we payed full price!!! The service is mediocre, the waiter didn't even known what the house wine was...
(3)Gabriela G.
The location is great, definitely get outside seating if you can. Service was pleasant, not overly smothering. But now for the food, I was pretty disappointed. I came here with high expectations but when I got my Firecracker Rigatoni pasta all that flew over and landed right into the bay behind me....the only thing I can say made my experience an 'ok' one was the Sangria so cheers to that, I guess.
(3)Yaidy R.
I went here for Valentines Day and though I have been here before my boyfriend had not and he really enjoyed it. The food was great and the service was great I was skeptical that maybe being on Valentines Day the service wouldn't be so great but it was just the opposite All of our food came out just right on time and it was perfect Truly and awesome Valentines for my boyfriend and I :)
(5)Mercedes P.
This is a place to have a date.. The view is amazing if you eat outside.. The price is good. Food is okay, but great atmosphere.. For the price is a good...
(3)Stephanie S.
I am crazy about this place. Everything I've had is amazing, particularly he calamari flatbread. The prices are very reasonable, especially for Brickell. The $15 bottle of wine is a nice touch and the bay view is spectacular. :) I would highly recommend this place. I loved the box that suggests placing your phone in it for the entire meal to allow for a more engaging experience. This place is great for a friendly lunch or a romantic date.
(5)Tiffany H.
Walking in, prepared for modern decor and beautiful people. Grab a drink at the bar, and prepare to wait. Reservations only get you a table- if you want a table outside, you'll have to join the rest of Miami, who wants the same table. The martinis were strong and delicious, and drinks are typical Miami prices. Outside, the view is wonderful and there's a great breeze. It is poorly lit at night, so enjoy watching people using phones as flashlights to read their menu. Peruse the menu, and have fun trying the various dishes with your table- this place is great for sharing, since every entree comes with an appetizer. Bottles of wine are also well-priced, with $15 and $25 options. The food is good. We all enjoyed our dishes, and the wine. The Message in a Bottle dessert was delicious and a fun touch. Two stars off because service is worse than usual, even for Miami. When calling for reservations, we got attitude. At the restaurant, we were told it was a 30 minute wait, then waited 60 minutes. Once seated, it was quite late, and it was starting to be much less busy. There were several empty tables outside, yet our server rushed us as if he needed the table right then. He kept coming by and trying to take plates that still had food on them, and pushing dessert too early, without actually offering anything helpful ever. I'll come back, but I'll naively cross my fingers for better service.
(3)Bob H.
Wasn't really impressed with this place. Came here for lunch on a business trip and got the chicken avocado sandwich. It came on one of those crappy white bread hamburger buns that you'd find at a backyard bbq. The bacon in it was undercooked, pale, and stringy. And they put yellow mustard on it... like French's yellow mustard, which completely covered up the flavor of the avocado (and everything else). Ironically, there are signs on the tables that ask you to put your phones away so you can have "a better gastronomic experience." My phone was thankfully the only thing that could distract me from my sandwich.
(2)Dan O.
My fiancé and I had a wonderful dining experience at Crazy About You earlier tonight. We sat outside on the patio overlooking the amazing view of the bay. (There is also a full service bar outside.) Each entree automatically comes with an appetizer; and the entrees were divided by price into three sections of the menu, which was helpful. This is definitely an affordable place to eat with very good ambiance to boot, regardless of whether you dine inside or outside. (The $15 bottle of house wine helps as well.) The food was delicious. For apps, we had fried green tomatoes and an antipasto with Brie board. For entrees, she had the tuna tacos and I had the gnocchi. Our server was extremely on top of things, knowledgeable, friendly and generally had a lot of common sense. Lastly, I cannot stress enough the terrific ambiance. The view of the water is spectacular, and the inside is hip.
(5)Juan C.
Whether you are a sitting inside or you find a table outside facing the ocean, this is a great place to bring someone special. They have a great menu selection designed to share your food (or not) plus they have some good wines starting at $10.
(4)Renee H.
Really enjoyed this restaurant with my friends. We went for dinner and drinks. Staff was great too. Chilean sea bass was superb!
(5)Elgina H.
This place was amazing. the view, food and our server. made reservations for my boyfriends birthday and he enjoyed the setting and environment. he also liked the fact that they provide a place to set your cell phone down at the table so you enjoy your dining experience.
(5)Lorin G.
Such an amazing restaurant. Great outdoor seating with amazing views. Beautiful atmosphere and decor inside. Drinks were great. Had the ham croquette, absolutely delicious. Also tried the spinach and quinoa salad, phenomenal. Perfect amount of dressing, perfect size for sharing. Bathrooms were clean and staff was friendly and was very knowledgable of menu. Def a restaurant to try if you're a fan of their sister restaurants (Delores but you can call me Lolita and Love is Blind.)
(5)Marielisa C.
After trying and enjoying Lolita so much, we decided to try this one since it's by the same owner. The restaurant has great decor, and the outside seats are super pretty with a bay view and the Miami skyline in the back. To our surprise, the service was extremely slow and the food was nothing out of this world. We had the pizza and the filet minot. The guy behind us decided to propose to his girl right there and it made for an overall nice evening.
(3)Josue G.
Place was beautiful! Prices and services were amazing, especially for Brickell. Everyone was attentive and food was great. We had slight feedback on the meal and they handled it so well! They listened and took everything into consideration! I was so pleased with the outcome of the whole dinner and atmosphere.
(5)Johnny T.
Crazy 'Bout You's All about that view 'Bout that view, not service It's all about that view 'Bout that view, not good food It's all about that view 'Bout that view & happy hour It's all about that view 'Bout that view Yeah, it's pretty clear, you comin' for the view 'Cuz you will be ignored By host & waitress, too But if it's Wednesday, ladies come get your drAnk Bub's only a buck with the app you bank Fellas, you out of luck, if you be thirsty You best hope you got moobs So you can pass, hee hee But if it's water water that you enjoy Take a gander and a picture 'Cuz that's it for all the boys Yeah, it's too bad that you can't eat or drink with just your eyes Miami never looked more beautiful than it does at night Unfortunately, though, the food & the drink are not very strong So if that's what you're into then go ahead and move along
(3)C P.
I like the place but not the food. It was over cooked and there were not to much options. I don't recommend you this place if you are looking for a good food! The dessert was the best!
(2)Colleen B.
WOW! If I was basing my review strictly on the view, this would get 5 stars... however, the service wasn't the best and the valet parking was a little confusing. So let's start with the view... WOW! We scored a table right on the water, yes, right on the water, for a Wednesday night happy hour. What does that mean? The sunshine, water and gorgeous afternoon, lent itself to a perfect backdrop to wind down the day. Also, it meant $1 glasses of champagne for women who purchased an appetizer. I went with the Mexican caprese salad which the only different between a regular caprese salad was that there were some greens and guacamole. It was a perfect, light bite to accompany my champagne. Our server was okay but not extremely attentive or informative. It wasn't even busy for happy hour. The inside was very nice as well but I can't imagine sitting inside if the weather is nice when you have a great view at your fingertips. Overall I would absolutely stop back here for happy hour or dinner. If you are in the area, seek out this gem, sit back, relax and enjoy!
(4)Adriana P.
One of my favorite places I've been in Miami so far. The ambiance is definitely one of the prime reasons why it's so great and the food is pretty good as well. We went for dinner and sat outside by the water, and the view is phenomenal. Also, you definitely get what you pay for. The price includes an appetizer which is a good size and then the entree which was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place and try to sit outside if you can. Makes everything so much better.
(5)S C.
Excellent atmosphere and views. Very good service. Very well priced menu, which is uncommon in Miami where most places are overpriced. Strong and original brunch items. Waiter was very attentive and manager came by at the end to make sure everything was fine. Recommended. Will Return
(5)Cristina R.
Great place for a romantic night out or a night out with the girls friends. In that case that was me. Service was great. The calamari Flat Bread is TO DIE FOR. I also tried the "Croquetas". BEST ONES I've ever tried. LETS NOT FORGET about the zucchini Pasta. OH EM GEE! Amazing. Great ambience music, the weather helped tremendously. It was a bit windy which it's great for a night in May, usually it's humid. Overall I loved the restaurant.
(5)Jen C.
Ambiance is beautiful! We arrived around 4 o'clock and wanted to sit on the patio closest to the water. Before dinner time you cannot sit at the tables but you can stand at the bar that is on the lower patio if you wish to be outside. There isn't too much space there but it is excused by the awesome view and sweet/knowledgeable bartender. Wednesdays are ladies night $1 Champagne! Regular happy hour is great as well, tons of yummy specialty drinks half off and half off appetizers! For our appetizer we had fried tomatoes and a yummy antipasto platter. Be warned once you sit for dinner you cannot order from happy hour even it is still within the time. The happy hour menu does NOT apply to any of the tables even if you wish to pay full price for them. Unfortunately we had a server who was very rude in explaining this to us replying to our confusion by saying "I don't know what you want me to do. I can get a manager" Which we suggested she did. I am all for following restaurant rules but I am not for attitude :) Too bad I forgot her name or I would list it here. Manager, Mark turned our night back around completely after apologizing for the attitude, brought us fresh appetizers and went above and beyond for us the rest of the night! Our new server, Yohan was amazing and made us love the place even more! We ordered Filet Mignon w/ Mash potatoes and Ribs w/ French Fries. Everything was delicious! My steak was cooked perfectly. We then had a glass of Veuve Clicquot and 1 bottle of white wine. I would return because of Yohan and Mark's service, the beautiful ambiance of the restaurant and the deliciousness of the food and drinks!
(5)Sean B.
This is a simple one - just go. Drop whatever the hell it is that you're doing, it's not important, and go. No, your work can wait. Screw it, if you're waiting on your wife to give birth, she'll be fine - just go. If your husband is in the hospital after thinking he can run for 2 hours and hurt his ankle - leave him in the ER and go. If the kid/husband don't understand how good the food is and that you had to leave, you do not need them in your life. What? too much? ;-)
(5)Antita B.
Great food and great view. It was a little warm inside restaurant, needs a colder A/C! Service was good but a bit slow. I had the amazing calamari flatbread and I can't believe it's not pasta dish. Both were amazing & delicious! I will return!
(4)Alina V.
So one of my friends held her baby shower at crazy about you by renting a space for the event. The place is absolutely gorgeous and they did a fantastic job organizing and setting up. We sat down and were immediately greeted with mimosas and given a brunch menu that included appetizer, entree and beverages. Our specific menu which was chosen by the host consisted of Serrano ham croquettes, scrambled eggs, croissant, strawberry & banana creamed waffles, bacon and patatas bravas. It seemed like this restaurant offered a variety of food ranging from American to Spanish to Mediterranean. The two items that stood out from this specific menu were the strawberry & banana waffles which were fantastic and the patatas bravas. The potatoes (patatas) were smothered with a sauce I believe was marinara which gave it an amazing kick to it that I've never had at any other Spanish place. Everything else was pretty simple, nothing out of the ordinary. I have to say though that the portions were very small, my guess is it might have been due to the fact that we had a selective menu for an entire party. Might not be the case if you come for regular brunch. Next time, I want to sit outside facing the water as they have an outstanding seating arrangement with a pretty awesome view of the ocean. (Huge plus)
(4)Eli A.
I went with my best friend for dinner and ordered the...I don't remember, which is exactly my point. Not memorable experience. Food was OK, service was typical Miami "average", which is NOT the greatest. Nice view outside.
(3)Francisco S.
Awesome food, great concept. In the heart of Brickell without the BS. Finally a place that takes advantage of the view and Boardwalk. My place to bring tourists. Extremely nice service. Fun times!!!
(5)Sally R.
Nice ambiance!!! Food was not bad...... Kobe sliders were delicious. Pizza was just ok Wednesdays is ladies night. 1$ champagne with every appetizer purchase. Not advertised so you need to know it Prices are average for the area It was raining so we had to stay inside but the outdoor patio is nicer than inside. Romantic and beautiful waterview ;) I will go again
(4)Kim T.
This place is good for it's view and date spot. The food wasn't great.
(3)Krystal O.
I am crazy about, crazy about you. I love this place and have been here quite a bit. Dinner is delicious everything I've had has always been wonderful. They have an awesome ladies night happy hour where apps are half off and free champagne for ladies. My absolute favorite dish here is the calamari flatbread, this thing is amazing!!!! Beautiful location on the bay and fun DIY dessert with the message in a bottle. I highly reccomend this place for a special ocassion dinner. One of my best friends had her rehearsal dinner here and the service was wonderful - I would also reccomend this venue for a similar event or shower.
(5)Richard R.
The churrasco wasn't very good. Their service and everything else was ok but it's too bad the steak wasn't good. There are many better options in this price range
(3)Jan N.
The view is what makes this a 4 star rating. The food is good - don't get me wrong - but the view is what lures you in... We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday on a Tuesday night. And let me tell you - it was pretty bustling. I had made reservations beforehand and had requested outside seating, but the girl taking my reservation said that seating is wherever is available when we come in. Slightly turned off by this, I still plowed forward and decided to give this place a try. Crazy About You is really pretty - swanky, sophisticated, nice décor... and I loved the music track they had playing (goes with the ambiance - think Girl from Ipanema). They had ample seating at the bar, which is actually more like a lounge area with a mix of couches, short stools and tables. We actually hung out there for about 30 minutes since we were told (upon arrival) that there would be outside seating, just not immediately - which was fine with me! Although the inside of the restaurant is a great place to sit, nothing beats sitting outside. The view is great! They have an "upper level" (this is where we sat - it's connected to the main level). They also have a "lower level" (which is where I wish we would've sat!) and if I were you, I would ask to be escorted that-a-way for dinner because the view is nicer. As our dinner choices, my husband chose the bacon pizza with the Serrano ham croquets as the appetizer. And I chose the risotto with wild rice, shrimp, and mushroom in some decadent, awesome creamy sauce. As my appetizer, I got the Chihuahua Cheese. Verdict says... all of it was great! Again, not mind blowing, but definitely satisfying and tasty. And the portions were perfect - we did not feel cheated at all! And really, the prices weren't bad. You have 3 price levels - $17, $21 and $25; and each entrée comes with an appetizer of your choice. Seriously, a win-win situation. That, coupled with the view, makes it a nice night out. Ridiculously stuffed, we nixed the idea of dessert. As we walked out, hand in hand, we decided we could absolutely see ourselves coming back. It's always exciting when you find a location that you can add to your list of places good enough to come back to. It's usually hit or miss when you're venturing out and going somewhere new. It was a successful night for us, though! Yay. P.S. Valet $10. Eh.

I organized my graduation dinner with four other friends and their families - I understand how difficult and demanding that many people can be, but the service was absolutely amazing. Each and every person was accommodating in every fashion. The food was very fresh tasting and there was quite a variation in tastes. We had many different dietary restrictions and the restaurant was able to perform with a smile :) Would recommend this as a place for a large group/formal dinner. Did I mention the gorgeous view of the water and incredible drinks as well?
(4)Yannelis G.
I absolutely loved this place! The ambiance and the food were a perfect match my boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary here, the waiter gave us complimentary champagne with our dessert it was so generous I definitely want to come back and try brunch!

Made a reservation for outside and when I got there they said they had no tables available. Our server was good but not very attentive. Food was good but the chicken was very dry. Overall a good experience but could've been way better.

The decor at Crazy About You is fantastic, modern and retro at the same time, beautiful wood floors, unique lighting fixtures, loved it walking in. Immediately greeted with complimentary still and sparkling, things are looking good. We ordered two daily lunch specials, a Fish and Chips, a pizza for Sofi, and I had the Tuna Tacos. Each plate came with apps. The salad was plain, but very nice, with big, delicious tomatoes. The croquetas were nice, crunchy and creamy. The lentil soup drew mixed reviews, one like and one didn't (I don't like lentils so didn't try it.) The main course arrived as we were still eating our apps, huge faux pas, so we quickly cleaned our plates and I stacked them next to me. The plates sat there the entire time. At first bite, everything was delicious, but half way through we all felt like there was a huge salt overload on every plate. Service was pretty dismal after the initial enthusiasm. No one approached us while we ate our mains. We had to flag down a waiter to ask for a dessert menu, and even after the order was placed, our table still had plates to be cleared. At that point, the wife remarked that there was a certain arrogance to our waiter. She followed by asking whether the fact that we all ordered lunch specials would make a waiter look down on his table. I hope that wasn't the case. Dessert came fairly quickly, a cappuccino flan. It came with whipped cream and strawberries. Definitely the best part of the meal, it was a perfect blend of chocolate, coffee, and caramel flavors. Sadly, it wasn't enough to salvage an otherwise less than average experience. Thankfully, it wasn't expensive-- $11-$15 per person. The view outside is amazing, so I would recommend Crazy About You as a great place for a dessert and after dinner drink while relaxing on the patio. Anything more than that isn't worth the effort!

The veal churrasco was heavenly and their quinoa salad was also delicious The view is beautiful and romantic and the dress is pretty casual
(4)Alexandra B.
My favorite place in Brickell for a good hardy meal! I usually bring all of my out of town guests here for dinner since the view is amazing! Prices range from $22-26 a person and this includes an appetizer and an entree, portions are huge! I usually get the chicken cotoletta or the zucchini pasta, both are really great. House wine is also $15 for a bottle, which makes dining at this place a great time.
(5)Sharon H.
Great night out. Celebrated my boyfriend's birthday last month and we had a great time. The atmosphere is lovely and they have outdoor seating as well. The only thing is that they were out of certain wines by the glass and I wasn't interested in buying a bottle. Another bonus is that they give you a free dessert for bday but they brought it out late. But good service.

Pros : waited 15 minutes instead of 30 to sit outside in a rush of people Food was cooked greatly with nothing overdone or burned Affordable between 40$-60-80$ per person depending on what you want. Good customer service with a small wait time for water and bread Bottom line great food, little over budget but worth because of service and the great detail worked. No cons except the wait for the bread and water Update at 1:09AM same day : significant other had bad reaction to food at restaurant, I threw up later that evening. Called the restaurant, manager named Daniel said they'd take care of our next bill and apologized for the inconvenience. June 8th : We come back for the 2nd time looking to change our opinions and maybe cash in on our offer (seems right since I spent $140 on my last bill) and food seemed to have been cooked to order. Throughout the night me and my significant other enjoyed for the most part our food. I had shrimp rice with cheese and creamy sauce, she had the churrasco with mashed potatoes...besides the fact that I had to wait for minutes before digging in because it was significantly hot(try having a plate of food put in front of you and then not being able to enjoy it because of mouth burn from first bite)....besides the fact the chimichurri had more olive oil than the waiter placed for the bread...the dessert was good except for a detail in which I've grown to accept; the strawberries that accompanied the dish tasted frozen not fresh...I've spent nearly 6 hours now it's almost 4am and I can't decided whether to sleep on my toilet seat or in the bathroom in general because my stomach has been killing me for hours. No, I'm not allergic to any foods, everything i ate last night was stuff I'd eaten before. Never returning again.
(2)Carmen P.
Best Mofongo, hands down. Also had the arroz con pollo and it was delicious. The service was great.
(4)Alfonso G.
The food and service was great but the experience in general was unpleasant because of the Valet parking.15 min waiting to give them the car and a hour waiting for somebody to give the ticket. They have an App that suppose to make this faster but does not work at all. Is not the fault of the staff they are probably understaff for the volume. Anyway if you want to eat here I recommend to come in a Uber or walking or you will have to wait an eternity to get your car.
(2)Anna S.
The ambience and the drinks is the only thing I liked. I wasn't satisfied with the food. I ordered the spicy rigatoni, it was cold and the pasta was undercooked. The Caesar salad did not taste fresh , the bread was too salty. The white seats were dirty filled with crumbs and they were uncomfortable to sit on for more then an hour. The waiter was OK,not around so much to ask how everything was. . I had stomach pain an hour after I ate so I felt the food had a lot to do with that. I wont come back here again.
(1)Nedda K.
We came here on a Friday for lunch and were so pleasantly surprised. The happy hour seems popular but wait until you eat the full menu. The coolest thing is the appetizer comes with the main! Great ambiance and really cool decor. Great date spot!!!
(5)Jiten S.
What a stellar find! Located adjacent to the Mark Hotel, this restaurant works to serve a premier cuisine while creating a vibrant, Bayside atmosphere. The location here really seals the deal: sat outside with my family on the patio with a terrific waterfront view. The selection for vegetarians was rather lacking... But for meat eaters, we enjoyed a fabulous pesto chicken dish and a spaghetti complemented with crunchy bacon bits. The Rioja wine from Spain was out of this world! Interesting sharing policy: $10 fee to share. So, just order an extra appetizer instead.
(5)Catalina L.
We had a great experience at Crazy about you. We celebrated our anniversary and Yuri, our server, couldn't make it even more special! We got a glass of champagne on the house, and we really enjoyed the food...the churrasco and the Ahi Tuna were delicious! To end the night, our server made our dessert special with a happy anniversary treat!! And the view is to die for...we got a beautiful full moon over the bay! We definitely recommend this place and we will be back :)
(5)Arlyn G.
Went for a birthday party and we had an area that was reserved. Service was fantastic! We had a sampler appetizer (ham croquettes, calamari flat bread, spring roll) everything was so delicious! For the entrée we had churrasco with mash potatoes, gnocchi and a vegetable plate. Everything was delicious. But by far the best was the chocolate flan. That alone is a reason to go again.
(4)flavia m.
Good food nice place with a beautiful view but outside people smoking next to you while you are eating....
(2)Jacinta H.
Let me start out by say this is a beautiful restaurant. I wanted to throw a small surprise for my sister here. Me and my friends called and made to reservations for the party Outside. There employee agreed and made the reservations for 1130 outside etc . We arrive as a small group they they couldn't seat us until the entire party was here and no such reservations were made for outside. After a while of going back and fourth with the manger and telling him I'll write a review with YELP he sat us Outside and it turned out beautifully. Thanks yelp Lls
(3)Veronica C.
Amazing experience. Excellent food. Prime location. Can't say enough good things about this restaurant. If you are looking for a nice restaurant in the Brickell area on the water, then this is the place for you! Great for a date night, to celebrate birthdays, or just a fun night out on the town. Menu prices are affordable and I love that for the price you pay, you get an appetizer and entrée. If the weather is nice make sure to ask for a table on the terrace.
(5)Bridget M.
Not happy. They won't let a party over 10 sit together. They separate the tables and what's the fun of going out with people to have that happen? Then, bc you're a group they force you to order the same appetizers and share. The regular menu you'd get an app with every entree. You cannot share without a $10 fee You cannot only order an appetizer The appetizers were better than the entrees. Small portionsa and all around not worth it. Entree start at $18.99. It was nice they provided blankets on the windy, chilly night the heaters were not providing much heat at all. No one in my large party was impressed and I'd never return.
(1)Angel P.
Just had an excellent family night event , planned with their event coordinator Alejandra , the set up was great , as well as the food and service , special thanks to Andres , the rest of the staff and Manager for their attention to details and making us feel at home , great ambiance , music and views of the bay.
(5)Amanda T.
I have been to crazy about you a couple time and have to say that i'm never dissapointed but I also am never overly satisfied. The main thing this restaurant has is the view. The food is just average and portions are small for the price but if you get a table with a view I guess it's worth it to some extent. Last time I went wait was an hour and a half for two people but to give them the benefit of the doubt it was a Saturday night. Since we were gonna have to wait so long we decided to have some drinks at the bar outside over looking the water and honestly that experience was the best part. Nice restaurant for a romantic date but i'd much rather go to another reastaurant where the food not just the view meets my expecations.
(3)Adele R.
Great spot. I recommend eating outside by the sea to enjoy the view. I enjoyed the service, the manager literally sat with us and helped us order. He gave great tips and was very interactive with us. He was very patient and welcoming. Now let's get to the food! The food is amazing. Calamari appetizer !!! Also they were very sweet and they brought our friend free sangria and free dessert. Just a great place!
(5)Mary N.
Hands down my favorite date place in Miami! Everything about it. First things first, the place itself is unbelievable. You walk in and the ambience is perfect: Very romantic/fun lounge-y music, dim lights, awesome cocktails. The inside decor is beautiful and even though outside seating is first come, first serve, they have a cool bar area where you can sip on a cocktail and eat some popcorn until your table is ready. They also have a bar outside looking over the bay. That view though........ESPECTACULAR. You won't regret waiting for a table outside. Food is incredible. Every Entree comes with an appetizer of your choice (AWESOME!). The Calamari Flatbread is delicious! And don't forget to get the house wine. It's only $15 and honestly a great bang for your buck. This place always makes the perfect date night. I'm crazy about "Crazy About You".
(5)Shirls I.
I was here for the first time about 2 weeks ago. It's hard to find parking around the area, plus if you do you have a few blocks to walk, so you're better of doing valet parking (which is $20). Location: this restaurant has an amazing view and they offer outside seating. Service: service is excellent, everyone is very attentive and always making sure everything is ok. Food: I ABSOLUTELY love their food. Everything is good and the prices aren't bad at all. In my opinion the prices are cheap for the quality and the location of this restaurant. I think it's about $25 per person, which includes an appetizer and an entree. Dessert was really good as well. Drinks: the alcoholic drinks are HORRIBLE here, I ordered two drinks from their menu and both were really bad, I didn't drink them at all. The FREE WATER they give you it's pretty good tho, I don't think it's tap water but if it is then it's a pretty damn good tap water lol.
(4)Stephanie M.
You ever eaten food so good you think there's a special name for it? That was crazy about you. Every entree choice includes a free appetizer choice so I recommend going with a group. The portion sizes were plenty to share. Service was excellent and even though we didn't sit on the water our table and the restarant had great ambience. I would recommend this for any special occasion or just an incredible date night.
(5)Wicho R.
Very nice restaurant in a very upscale location, good prices and close to a bay with pretty nice views...food is really good, the only catch is that in my opinion the menu doesn't have a lot of variety
(4)Lorena G.
The view is beautiful. However the Margherita pizza was very salty. The gnocchi was delicious. The waiter didn't even take the time to introduce himself. He didn't explain or made suggestions in the menu. I noticed other waiters take the time to interact with the guests. He just had a horrible attitude. He never checked back on us, we had to flag him often for him to come to us.
(3)Alfredo D.
Impeccable service, the food wasn't up to par with the prices. But they make it up with the treatment, which is close to royal.
(3)Carolina G.
My boyfriend decided to bring me here for lunch. We ate on the terrace as it was a beautiful day. He insisted we have the croquettes as appetizers however they were all out that day. I had a salad and some calamari which was delish. I ordered the sliders and he had the salmon. The food was yummy and the staff was attentive. The view was also very romantic and lovely. They were smoker friendly and the service was great. Great for a lunch date
(4)Ali G.
So this is my third time coming to crazy about you and it never gets old ! The atmosphere and view at this place is great! We made reservations for 6:30pm which was great, still light outside buy dim. They have outdoor sitting and indoor sitting, I highly recommend sitting outdoors unless your not too big on the wind. It's pretty windy out there but then again your right next to the water. Their menu is a little different then most places, when you chose and entree the appetizer comes included. Meaning you can Choose whatever appetizer you want and it's technically free. This place is not expensive my boyfriend got the veal churrasco for and entree and the chihuahua cheese for appetizer. I got the steak and the croquettes (they are by far the best croquettes you can eat). The bill was $54 not bad at all. Service is great! The waitress was very friendly and helpful with the menu. She recommended great food and was always checking on us to make sure we didn't need any more refills or drinks. Overall I would highly recommend this restaurant to people. Great view, great location and great food. All you need is friends to share it with !
(5)Kelsey S.
Absolutely love this restaurant! Great location with awesome views of Brickell and the bay. Exceptional service, with great energy throughout the restaurant. Many parties celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and even engagements. My favorite part is that each entree comes with an appetizer included in the price. Deserts are appropriately portioned. Highly recommend for a date night or any occasion.
(4)Lauren C.
Our waiter Yuri was amazing!! Very attentive and professional. food was delicious and arrived quickly. Would def come back!!
(5)Tess O.
This restaurant really blew me away! I'd made reservations for 830pm on Halloween night to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We were seated immediately upon arrival and greeted at our table by a sweet, French server with a smile and a delicious arrangement of pita bread and dip. The menu includes 3 different price ranges for entrees: 17$, 21$, and 24$, and they all include an appetizer of your choice as well. I ordered the Gnocchi with Shrimp as my entree with the Calamari Pepperocini flat bread as my appetizer, and my boyfriend ordered the Eggs/potato/mushroom appetizer with Kobe mini burgers with shoe lace fries as his entree. Both were off the 21.99$ section. The flatbread was so delicious, I'd come back JUST for that. In fact, id come back just for anything we ordered that night! The gnocchi was definitely the best I've EVER had. We also had a bottle of the house Chardonnay, which was only $14! Then, just as we were waiting for the dessert wheel to come on by, our waiter surprised my boyfriend with the most original birthday dessert I've ever seen. Strawberries over ice cream over what seemed to be pie crust, with a cake DRAWN on the plate with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. Our bill came out to 62$. You really can't beat that price! They were so kind, they didn't even charge us for the dessert. Needless to say, our waiter got a pretty nice tip. Overall, is rate this place a 5/5. It is EASILY one of my new, favorite restaurants. Could not have asked for a better time.
(5)Josette S.
This was my first time there. Overall, I really liked the place. The ambiance is fantastic and it is just a comfortable atmosphere. We ordered the seabass and filet mingon for main courses. Both plates were delicious, especially the sea bass. Each entree comes with an appetizer which we had the calamari flatbread which was excellent and the chihuahua cheese casserole. For dessert american churros and happy endings. Everything we ordered was delicious. The only thing I would say was a down fall was the service. Our server was nice when he was there, but took forever to bring us our drinks or to check up on us. Overall not a bad experience. I would definitely come back more for the lounge happy hour outing rather than a full meal service.:)
(4)Blue A.
The food is decent and the service is as spotty as Metro PCS reception - but you come here for the view. Seriously, the view alone gets it by, what a great location. But request to sit outside so you can enjoy the boats cruising by and the gorgeous view of the bay. This is the part of Miami people see on TV and flock here to vacation for, so take it in - you live where people vacation. I've come to Crazy About You twice now - once for dinner and once for drinks/apps. Happy hour is the way to go - they do 1/2 priced apps! Plus, $1 glasses of champagne for women when they order an app. Not bad! I had a beer, while my co-workers sipped on bubbly and another one had a rum cocktail. PURE. MIAMI. LIVING. Sipping away at a work meeting while yachts blaring house music cruised by (it was WMC week). The food has never blown me away but for half priced apps we got a bunch to try and they were all good. The best ones were the croquettas - get these! Then, get a second order of them! When I went for dinner we sat inside. It was nicely lit, the food was decent and the service was once again spotty. Nice spot for a date night though. I believe they have changed the menu since we went, so we might come back to try the new options.
(4)Mike T.
First time going here and it was a great experience. The atmosphere was awesome! The drinks the food the service all five stars will definitely be going back!
(5)Kelly C.
came here with a friend because of the awesome deal that every entree comes with an appetizer - and the view of the water is gorgeous! service, though friendly, was a bit slow. the spinach and quinoa salad as an app (queso fresco, avocado, strawberries & toasted sesame dressing) was to DIE for. i could have a bigger version with chicken and been the happiest person alive. next, i had the burger sliders (kobe beef mini burgers w/ shoestring fries) which were quite yummy, but quite small. normally i expect a slider entree to be 3 or 4 or sometimes even 5 burgers, but there were only two. i was sadly hungry less than an hour later! loved the ambience, and the rest of the menu (+ the drink specials) were awesome, but i was sad that the entree was more like an appetizer than a full entree.
(3)Jennifer P.
Just this past weekend I celebrated my birthday at Crazy About You. I made reservations for a total of 17 people and was assigned the semi private area (VIP Room) where everything came out beautifully. I was in contact with Alejandra whom always provided me with information when requested. The staff assisting me set the table were very helpful. The food options I selected for a prefix menu were as follows: Appetizers- Fried Calamari and Chihuahua Cheese Casserole Entree: BBQ Baby Back Ribs with Roasted Potatoes Wedges Dessert- Chocolate Flan all my guests loved the food! I based it off things I had tried before and it was all finger licking good
(5)Neha M.
I had a big party dinner here and it turned about extremely well. They were very good in helping us select a set menu and reserving our tables and time. The food was incredible and they serve a variety. The view is definitely what sells this place, as it is right on the water. There is a bar outside that you can drink at and if you can, sit outside (if weather permits). When you're done, it's nice to take a walk along the water. The staff was very helpful and if anything isn't to your liking, they are very quick to fix it.
(5)Carolina V.
We had our rehearsal dinner at Crazy About You last week. The food was excellent and the service was superb. I would highly recommend this restaurant for similar events.
(5)Tony L.
Great experience. When we got there was a few problem with the seating but the manager Carlos quickly made it all right. Love the food, décor, and over all visit! look forward to visiting again.
(5)Beatriz A.
Let me start off by saying this place is only good for the view outside... nothing else. My boyfriend surprised me by taking me here for my birthday and I was impressed by how beautiful the view was. The restaurant inside is also very impressing. But the food..horrible. I had a starter salad and it was so bad I couldn't eat t! Then I had a pasta that was utterly disgusting.. It wasn't real pasta it was celery into a pasta form. I had one bite and told the waiter I did not want it. I get the burger slides instead and they had a weird taste to them. So I didn't eat much. My boyfriend had the veil churrasco and he did not like it either. The waiter charged him for the meal I did not even eat!!! We noticed once we were in the car already. Just ridiculous! I would not want to come here again!
(1)Chanelis O.
I loved this place!! The ambience its so dim and romantic. The view is gorgeous, both the ocean and the city. The waiter was excellent, she gave us advice as to what its really good/most ordered on the menu. The calamaris & the croquette are delicious!! Definitely the place for a special night!
(5)Brent C.
The only thing this place had going was the view. Some friends recommend the place so we gave it a try. It started with the girls at the front being rude about what table we could have outside. From there our waiter nice guy recommend the two worst dishes on the menu, don't do the chicken and spinach. It Tastes Like grilled Cardboard. There was a fan blowing things off of our table that they refused to turn off. Took 25 mins to get the check. There are much better options in miami
(2)Brandon W.
Not a fan of the way their menu works...you must order an appetizer, then entree, you're charged regardless and they hit you with a sharing fee if you decide to share. The location overlooking the bay/channel is sweet and the food is acceptable but nothing special. Service, as usual in the area...slow.
(3)EliMelinda M.
We came here on a double date night for dinner. The atmosphere is great, highly recommend sitting outside the view is gorgeous! We loved the bottle house wine special price. We tried the Pinot Grigio which was good, nothing outstanding but a good wine for the price be paid. Now onto the food ;) the calamari flatbread is highly recommended, it's a unique twist & very flavorful! The antipasto apt was average, I wouldn't order that again. For entrees we tried the Kobe sliders & rigatoni with sausage. Both were good, the food was flavorful but it wasn't really a "wow" meal if you know what I mean. I think the place has a great ambiance for drinks/appetizers.
(3)Carolina S.
I find this place to be a romantic spot. I love the dim lighting and the lit candles. Its right by the water which adds to the romantic ambience. I would request a table outside as long as its not too humid or hot of course. I'm very picky about my alcoholic drinks but there cocktails are delicious. I've been here twice and wasnt too impressed with their food. I've tried: Serrano ham croquettes (thought it was too greasy) Calamari al Perreroncini Flatbread (delicious) I Can't Believe it's not Pasta Carbonara with Chicken (waiter suggested but I wasnt crazy about it) Kobe Beef Mini Burgers (delicious) Although not crazy about their food I will go again and try something else.
(4)Claudia J.
Great ambiance, place is packed!! We had a reservation for 9:45pm.... very late. But it was the only one available. Once you enter, there is a lobby area/bar - it's nice since it's nice when you are waiting for the rest of the party to get there. Plus the bar is also there. Very particular decor, nice! We got seated at 9:45pm, round table, perfect! I love round tables... your'e not stuck to only talking to 3 people.... the ones next to you and the one in front of you. Crazy about you has an interesting concept. First, choose from the 3 different prices. Second, order the main course. Third, you order the appetizer. I ordered the veal churrasco that tasted more like like a churrasco. It did not taste like veal, impressively tender!!! Flavor was very good. We were a large group so we ordered a variety of appetizers so we could try from our orders. All appetizers were great!! Kudos to the croquets, calamari, eggs, and surprisingly good the Caesar Salad. You would not think that the Caesar Salad would be good, it was great! The lettuce was chilled!! and pretty good flavor, not very heavy on the taste. Would definitely recommend this place for future outings. We sat inside, the outside view must be great!!!.... if you make a reservation, try sitting outside for the view!
(3)Mike S.
If you have a corporate meeting, have an account to take out or need a date night, look no further. This place brings a Latin/Cuban vibe and ingredient influence, tied into American and Italian Food. The dessert is out of this world.
(5)Christina S.
Beautiful view and amazing service. Had the chicken with artichoke and spinach for dinner, and the calamari as an appetizer, and they were both delicious! I really liked how each dinner plate came with its own appetizer. Had the message in a bottle for dessert and it was AMAZING. Also had a bottle of the house wine which was only $15 and pretty good as well. Definitely going back.
(4)Jessica D.
Okay Yelpers so the first time I went here I didn't not like it I felt the food was, and I quote myself "blah", but then I tried it again and I'm glad I did. The second time I ordered something completely different that I have never ordered anywhere else EVER! See I'm a huge meat ratter and will always order some type of cut because you can't go wrong but this time I ordered the blackened mahi mahi and holy fish! It was thee bomb! That was my first time ever trying something out of my comfort zone and it did not disappoint! I'll go back just for that fish! So I'm giving them an updated review and one more star because of that mahi. Second chances do make a difference!
(3)Javier A.
Excellent service... Food really really good and the price very fair! Breath taking views outside, worth the wait for a table outside! Will definitely come back again!!
(5)Katie V.
Had a baby shower with about 65 guests on a Saturday Afternoon -Food was great! The gnocchi was the talk of the party. -Service was awesome, no one had an empty cup at anytime during 3 1/2 hours. -The view is why I chose this restaurant to begin with I would definitely recommend for any hosted event and general outing.
(5)Yanessa E.
They have one of the best outdoor dining areas. Waterfront dining with the nice ocean breeze and good food? I'm there! I don't know why I had not yet reviewed them. It has the same menu concept as it's sister restaurants, you choose an appetizer and then select an entree from three set prices. A must every time from their appetizer section is their Serrano croquetas, they are deliciously creamy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Their calamari flatbread is also delicious, as is the chihuahua cheese. For entree I went with the Braised Steak Brasatto: Mushroom and Marsala Wine Reduction, Creamy Garbanzo Stew, Topped with a Fried Egg. The meat was super tender and the fried egg was a great addition to the dish, the yolk was nice and runny like I love. Drinks here are also great. If you're looking for a nice place to eat around Brickell and enjoy the ocean, try them out, ask for an outside table!
(4)Gin N.
The food is perfect, the service is just horrible . No one came to ask if we need anything, if the food was good, they didn't even offer a glass of water .
(2)Nicole F.
The occasion; I had a business lunch on June 3 2015; I was excited at the prospect of trying out a new restaurant. The location was excellent and the décor was beautiful, I was ready to try the food. We were three (3) and decided to sit outside because of the water views. The service; the waiter came to our table (didn't introduce himself) and asked for what we would like to drink. When we told him what we would like to drink, he walked away looking upset. He brought the drinks and took our order; we ordered some appetizers and the main course at once. The service was quick; another waiter brought the appetizers and the main dishes. He was equally horrible and looked very uncomfortable, so much so that we were concerned about our clothes or hair. We were regularly dressed, business attire. The food; you would think in a beautiful location like this, the quality of the food would be top notch. Guess again, the food was horrible the prosciutto was very low quality -they probably got a discount from Price Market before it went bad. We barely touched the food, the waiter noticed that we didn't eat the food and then came along the manager who asked if everything was good and we said it's okay. It's "okay" is code for the food is bad and that's the reason why we didn't eat it. To make matters worse he still charged us full price for the meal that we barely touched. Conclusion; I will never go there again and I will tell all my friends and all the people I know not to go there. There are so many restaurants in Miami that are worthwhile. This has been a terrible experience and I don't want anyone else to go through this.

Excellent Service ! Loved the food ! The antipasto platter my favorite and the Eggs Benedict for Brunch are excellent.

Oh what a beautiful view this place has! The best time to go is sunset time. Absolutely gorgeous! Perfect for a romantic dinner, first date, or a birthday celebration with your lovely one. Now about the place itself. It was our third visit, and I have to say that it gets only better every time we go. Servers are very professional, sharp looking/acting, fast and nice. We always try different things. Tonight we got the mushroom risotto, and omg... It is my favorite now! Though the cod croquettes were just ok, nothing special. Last time we had a mozzarella pizza and we loved it. As a healthy choice they have this zucchini noodles, and it's really reeeealy good! I suggest to make a reservation before you go, because this place is always packed. No wonder why! ;)

Atmosphere is the only thing keeping this place on the map. The view is great, they have blankets on all the chairs outside incase it's chilly or breezy-which was probably my favorite part. My filet was atop cold potatoes and covered in a brown gravy...any chef putting out a quality filet would not cover it in a brown gravy. Their dessert choices are unimpressive- I have such a sweet tooth and am SO easy to please when it comes to desserts but I left without any this evening.

I'm very surprised by some of the reviews here. Only 1 star?! Anyways! I came here recent as I was treated to a dinner date (oh la laa~) here. We had reservations for a 10pm dinner and we waited 10 minutes at most before we were sat. We had outdoor seating by the water and it was very, very nice. Maybe don't opt to sit outside on those crazy windy Miami nights haha. Anyways, the menu is semi-pre fixed but not really. It's a small but concise menu. You have 3 columns to choose from: $17, $21 and $24 dinner entree options. And each option comes with a appetizer, so it's not too bad! I got the Spinach & Quinoa salad with goat cheese, strawberries and avocado.. ... My mouth is still watering. I finished the WHOLE bowl, it was SO good. I've been craving this salad since. Weird, right? Anyways, from looking around, I honestly don't think you can go wrong. EVERYTHING was so good! Stick with your instincts, listen to your tummy for once and enjoy the food! And while you're here, grab a bottle of wine! It's only $15, so why not?!

Excellent choice for birthday dinners. We took our friend Sophie for her birthday, our table was 10+ ppl and still service was excellent. They brought out the entrees pretty quickly and food was delicious. I had a Spinach and Quinoa Salad as appetizer and a Fusilli alla Vodka with Salmon...So Good I ate it too quickly and didn't take photos for my yelp review! =/ Place was pretty packed on Friday night, make reservations ahead of time.

Made reservations for a Friday night for a birthday celebration (specifically mentioned) and preferred outdoor seating. Upon arrival, we waited in a greatly decorated mini bar with 1/2 off delicious cocktails until 7PM. I checked in with the hostess THREE times before I was seated (an hour later). The wait was forgiven with a complimentary bottle of wine and accommodating service. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Views were lovely (even though the planned sunset view was missed due to later seating) and decor is awesome. Whoever took reservations completely forgot about the birthday, hence the additional loss of star. Won't return, but will recommend to others due to atmosphere and food.

Beautiful venue, appetizing food not very expensive. I'm a definite fan!

I went to Crazy (Dolores/Lolita's slightly more sophisticated sister) before their official opening last year and had a pretty great experience, so I was anxious to try them again and see if it was still the same great place I'd tried a year ago. We had a reservation and were seated promptly outside overlooking the bay. Although the view was phenomenal, the night was a bit too windy and chilly for us so we asked to be moved inside. They immediately accommodated us and we were comfortably seated in the less romantic but still chic inside. Our server was knowledgable about the menu (prix-fixe for app and entree at 3 different price points....sweet!!) and was quick with our drink orders. I ordered the churrasco which was very yummy and the app was the croquetas. They are the same ones served at Lolita and I'm borderline obsessed with them. All very yummy and served in a timely fashion. Service was a bit slow at the end of our meal for another round of drinks for my date and my friend's husband and the check but we were finishing our ($13!!) bottle of wine and talking so it wasn't a big deal. Overall it's a great relatively inexpensive place in the heart of brickell that's fun to go with friends or a date. Highly recommend.

Came here for my birthday on a friday night. The hostess was great at seating a party of 13. the table was available and location was great. Was a little concerned with our waiter. Splitting the checks was a mission with a large party you would assume they would know. He forgot what everyone order and asked people to make down what they had. Normally you see this in a chills. They are similar owners to Love is Blind. Had gone to love is blind the week before on a wed. night and the service was amazing! the waiter knew what everyone order and who to split checks with we cut a cake and brought it out to everyone allowed people to take pictures. I would perfer trying Love is Blind first.

I was excited to check this place out because I LOVE Dolores, But You Can Call Me Lolita and its by the same owner. I wasn't please to find that the only parking I could find was $10.00 but I figured its downtown on the water, "not a big deal" I was meeting someone there so I walked in and kind of glanced around, not a single person asked me if I needed anything or help looking for someone. Which was a bit bothersome but I didn't worry about it. For some reason couldn't get a signal in the place, damn Tmobile! (Another review hahah) anyways, I found my friend and fortunately he got a seat outside because it was freezing inside the restaurant. If you are not a fan of turbo blowing AC, sit outside. When I got outside, I was pleasantly surprised. There was music going that was kind of budha loung-ish with some remixes to popular music, I liked that. Everyone seemed very relaxed out there soaking up the sun. Perfect day as well. The food menu was like Dolores in the way that you pick three options from Appetizer, dinner and desert and the food was actually good. I had the Faux risotto. Had Shrimp and mushrooms in it. It was okay. If you are a real foodie and that's why you go out, not the place, but if you want good music, a few drinks, and a nice view, you won't be displeased =)
(3)Angel L.
Mediocre food. Had better at any other restaurant in Miami, The house wine was horrible, although you really shouldn't expect that much for the price. It's definitely not a place I will ever come back.
(1)Susan S.
I just had my daughters 21st birthday dinner party last weekend. The food and the service were outstanding. My family is very picky to pleased because we all are foodies and enjoy great food. The events coordinators Alejandra and Mariela were great to work and we selected a fix menu family style and everything was cooked to perfection. Most have the Salmon and Cappuccino Flan. Also thank to the night manager to accommodate our special request.
(5)Elise S.
The ambiance in this restaurant was beautiful from the moment you enter. We went to celebrate my brother's birthday and were able to be seated outside which had a beautiful view. The price of food is pretty decent considering the location. The food was good but I wouldn't say excellent. However with each entree you receive an appetizer so that made the deal even better. Also, valet parking was $10 and the service was excellent and quick return of car after dinner. I truly enjoyed this place and would definitely recommend it, especially for a date night.
(4)David C.
Was surprised with a birthday dinner at Crazy About You and boy was it ever a surprise! The view was nothing short of spectacular, the food was incredible but more importantly it was spent with the people I love. We had a great time there, the service was great and the prices are even better. Trust me on this, you won't regret going!
(5)Linda M.
I would say this is actually a 3.5. This eatery is not a unique menu that stands out in any real way but that said it does have enough options for a large group to allow everyone a consistent experience and decent meal. Each entree comes with your choice of an appetizer- or if you are not starving you can order just an appetizer stand alone for $10. If you don't like this option they have some of the entrees stand alone but at the bar only. Our group had the following: Margherita pizza- a crowd pleaser. Thing crust, well seasoned Sliders and fries- great fries, the burgers were more great at all. Definitely low quality meat Quinoa spinach goat cheese salads- so so as there was maybe a few grains of quinoa and a blob of goat cheese. Could have been better for sure BBQ Ribs- exactly as advertised. Ribs with a decent sauce Wine list was so so and half the items were missing. You can bring your own wine for a corkage fee of $14 if its not on their menu You can't specify if you make a reservation inside or out- which is a shame as it does have some of the nicer views outdoor for Miami.
(3)Orlando M.
Came here for my birthday with my family and surprisingly every single person was really happy with their meal -- my family is typically hard to please but everyone agreed the food was great. Unfortunately it was raining so we couldn't eat outside but we enjoyed the ambiance inside. I had the BBQ ribs and though I've had better in other areas of the USA, I can't say there are many Miami places that make it better.
(5)Jorge R.
Went for brunch on a Sunday, it had an amazing view of Key Biscayne and Brickell on the outside patio. The menu is a prix-fixe style with a lot of different options and the mimosas were inexpensive. I enjoyed eating outside and it was a nice change up to other brunch options in Downtown Miami. Definitely a good find if you are trying to do something nice and different on a budget in Miami.
(4)Yania R.
Great ambience / awesome view. So so food. Ideally, the food should improve. Nice decor
(3)J C.
I LOVE this Place! Everything from the Decor, Service & Food was AMAZING! Plus the Price is reasonable! You get a FREE App with every main course & House Bottle of Wine for Just $14 or $4 by the Glass!
(5)Steph O.
I've been dying to go this place and finally the opportunity presented itself. The entrance of the restaurant is very modern...yes there's a pink statue in the entry way but it is definitely not the focal point! The bar is sleek and the sitting area has a sort of a sexy feel. The hostess stand is definitely in an awkward place. ..it gets blocked very easily if more than 3 ppl are standing there. When you walk through the restaurant the decor immediately catches your eye. It's clean and the lights are really nice. We opted to sit outside to feel the breeze and see what the hype was all about. It was obviously dark so the view of the harbor was non existent except for the building lights and industrial structure across. I was a little disappointed but it's obviously dark! Our waiter was awesome...super nice guy...made a few suggestions and was very attentive! Asked if we were celebrating any special occasion and I told him it was my birthday. ..he assured me he'd have something special at the end! Ok so the food....I'd first like to say I feel totally jipped. I read the reviews prior to visiting and was looking forward to an amazing meal...not so much. .We ordered the calamari flat bread and chihuahua cheese casserole apps. The flatbread was cold and not crispy...the calamari was good but what fried food isn't? The chihuahua cheese..this was a little confusing...it states it has a hint of chorizo....i honestly did not taste one bit of it and the pesto was also nonexistent! It tasted like a cheese pizza without the crust...had marinara sauce...melted white cheese..oh and the most stale pieces of baguette you can imagine. For dinner...I ordered the short rib on a bed of roasted potatoes and my husband had the filet. My meal tasted like a frozen tv dinner. My potatoes were cold and i had about 4 pieces in total...my little cast iron serving dish was completely full of raw onions and peppers in sauce. I had more onions than potatoes and my piece of rib was blah. My husbands "filet" looked more like a skirt steak and he also had 4 little potatoes. The dish should be renamed to "Not a filet" to follow the theme of the "Faux risotto" and the "Not a cheesecake" dessert. The best part of our meal was the sparkling wine we had. The bday dessert was very nicely presented and complimentary! It was the "Not a cheesecake" a scoop of ice cream on top of some cookie crumbles topped with a berry sauce....it was just OK. Oh and the bread they put out with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip in....is cold and gummy...I really wanted to like this place...really but i think i will save my hard earned money for somewhere closer to home! Oh and bring a flashlight. ..
(2)Edward J.
Maybe the best "by-the-water" restaurant views in town, but the food just doesn't match the sights. I've been here maybe 3 or 4 times, each has left me underwhelmed. With so many amazing food choices around town, it's hard I pick Crazy About You if you're looking for good food worth coming back to. But if you just want some drinks with a nice view, coming here and ordering a light menu could be worth your while.
(2)Jamie W.
It's a great place due to the environment and location, parking is a little rough at times but over all love the food, it has changed a bit though and hope management notices
(4)Alexandra M.
My sister in law was throwing her birthday dinner here last week. I had a work event before hand, so I was a little late (she made reservations at 8pm). For some reason the host told her that unless the entire party was seated, they could not accomodate all of us. I know at most restaurants they wait until most of the party is present... there were literally only two people missing from our party of 12 and we had to end up sharing seats with friends in order to fit. When I arrived I ordered an appetizer (Spinach and Artichoke Dip), but it just wasn't what I thought it would be. The Midori Sour I ordered was also watered down. The food and drink left much to be desired, and I'm not sure I'm as crazy about this restaurant as its name suggests.
(2)Wendy G.
The place is beautiful, for a nice date. The interior design was very well thought out you feel very comfortable once your here. If your going to order cocktails be prepared to pay $12. But, if your date isn't high maintenance they have $4/glass or $14/Bottle. I've ordered all three of their house wines and they are all good, my favorite is the Chardonnay. I found the best things to order for appetizers are: their Spinach Goat Cheese Salad or the Calamari Flat bread. For your main entree I recommend to order the Chicken Milanese or the Lobster Cannelloni. Our friend had the Ossobuco which I tried, I think it's very tasty as well. I keep returning with my family and friends!
(4)Latoya C.
Came here for my birthday and left extremely happy!! I had plans to stop here for dinner then go to another location in Brickell to party but the service and ambiance here was so incredibly wonderful I stayed the entire night!! The food is great the drinks are tasty and the location is fantastic!! I will most certainly be back!!
(4)Adasis B.
The best part about this restaurant was the great view of the bay. My friend and I got there around 6p and the hostess suggested that we sit outside and enjoy the view. Great recommendation! Although it was rather breezy out, we loved it. They even provided cozy red shawls. The food was yummy. I had the Kobi beef sliders that were delish! Definitely going back again.
(3)Alex P.
I had the seared tuna which was pretty good but not exactly something that would make me come back. The view was also nice but not a deal breaker either. My girlfriend however, disagrees, so I guess it depends on the person.
(3)Valezka G.
Crazy About You was Great! I had heard and read about it for a long time now, and finally made it around for my anniversary dinner this week with my fiance. The food was delicious, the view was beautiful, and service excellent. For appretizers we had the Calimari Flatbread and some potatoes with fried eggs on top (don't remember the name :()...both SO GOOD. As Entre, my fiance had the churrasco with mashed potatoes, and I had the chicken parmesan with mashed potatoes as well. Both were great as well, but we liked my plate the best. In addition we also had the message in a bottle dessert, and they surprised us with a Happy Anniversary design along with two complementary glasses of champagne. Our night along with the outside beautiful view was perfect! We will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes.
(5)Sarah G.
What a hidden GEM!! If a friend had not taken me here I would have never found it. I wish I had four stomachs because everything on the menu sounded so delicious I wanted to order at least 4 entrees. This restaurant is right on the water and the views are incredible. I came here for a late dinner with a friend. Right away we were seated, and brought waters, and a hummus plate. The menu is a cool concept. Every entree comes with an appetizer. They have 3 menu categories set in different price columns. I think they were 19,20, and 21 but I'm not 100% sure. Every dish was fresh and gourmet. I had the spinach and butternut squash salad which was the size of an entree salad. It was delicious and tossed with the perfect amount of dressing. My friend ordered the fire roasted artichoke and it was just as incredible. I had the fussili with salmon ala vodka... wow, one of the best vodka sauces I have ever eaten and the salmon was cooked very well. My friend had the bolognese and she raved about it. They also have inexpensive wine by the glass or bottle. We were way to full to attempt dessert but I am definitely planning on coming back here. It's the perfect spot for a girls night out or a date night with that special someone!
(5)Adalberto M.
Nice place in the Brickell area, great for couples date night. Prices are extremely reasonable considering the selection of food. Spicy Calamari was exceptional, just the right amount of kick. Main course was some type of meat with Risotto - I've had better. Best part was dessert., capuccino flan and tiramisu were great and only $2.50! Speaking of costs, go with beer. Drinks will run you $12/ea. Overall its great, but reminded me too much of Dolores but you can call me Lolita. Perhaps I'm biased. But I'd visit again, no problem!
(3)Alex B.
Ok.. Food was just ok. Decore inside was awesome. Sitting on the patio overlooking Biscayne Bay is very nice. The highlight of the evening was the desert. I may give it 1 more try.
(3)John B.
Our favorite restaurant while in town from Portland, OR! Very cool and trendy environment, but casual. The service was fantastic! We both had pasta dishes and were delighted to hear that you get a free appetizer with each entree. The menu is fairly simple, not a ton of options, which we like. Good portions and delicious meal! Not too expensive either.
(5)Roberto S.
If you are looking for a nice place to have dinner and would like a nice view, well Crazy About You is the place. We will be back again!!;)
(4)Kristen W.
Crazy About You is owned by the same people who own Dolores but you can call me Lolita. I much prefer the atmosphere of Crazy About You, as you have breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and Key Biscayne. Menu concept is the same as Dolores where every entree comes with an appetizer. Overall food is good but it's really the location that makes this place so great - oh and the $14 bottles of house wine!
(4)Stuart B.
Pretty location. Both the interior and outside seating areas are nice. Our waiter was a real character. Really seemed to enjoy what he was doing. Food was very good too. Normal sized portions (a blessing) and very reasonably priced.
(4)Cody C.
Went back for the first time in a few weeks the other night and I have to say that they have seriously improved the staff. Had the best service I have ever had there. Super attentive. Super knowledgeable. Super shocking. New spinach and artichoke dip was fantastic. They changed the crust for the calamari flatbread and now it tastes a little fried which i'm not a big fan of... but wow... best service. if they keep that up - we will definitely come more often. Pleasantly surprised. One more of those and they'll be a 4 star in my book.
(3)Daphne T.
Omg I can't believe I forgot to review this place. Anyway... I absolutely love this restaurant. I truly am so in love with this place. The location, the prices of the wine, the view, what more could you ask for? I have so many good things to say about this place. The inside bar is spectacular and cozy. The food is divine. I recommend the Chihuahua Cheese Caserole with Pesto and a Touch of Chorizo. So. Freakin. Delicious. Did I mention I can't stay away from the Serrano Ham Croquettes? Oh, yes, they do melt in your mouth, just in case you were wondering. Kobe Beef Mini Burger are aiiightttt. Much to my surprise, the bottle of wine is $13.The service is always great, friendly waiters and hostesses. They have this pretty amazing "make your own desert" it's pretty cool. Its served with a brownie, ice cream, chocolate sauce, and I think strawberries. And then they also have a message in a bottle thingy where you write something and put it in a large Jack Daniels bottle and then they choose one and you get like a free lunch or something, I cant remember. Well the location is marvelous and I can't wait to go back. Now the question is.. What are you crazy about...?
(5)Enrique C.
This restaurant is located on the Brickell Bay. Therefore, you have a great view of the bay and Downtown Miami. There is no self parking. You either park in the street or you must use valet parking ($10). The restaurant is very beautiful and has a nice wine room. The decor and the seating inside are great and the seating on the balcony is even better on a cool night. I was very impressed with the decor. The food, drinks and desserts are very good. This is a great place to take you spouse or significant other. My wife and daughter had the churrasco, my god son the pizza and croquettes from the kids meal and I had the steak with Garbanzo and Lentil soup. All were very good. I strongly suggest this restaurant to everyone.
(4)Denis B.
I went with my wife to celebrate our anniversary, the service is excellent, the menu is both simple and very attractive, the atmosphere is appropriate for a casual dinner, but it can lend itself for a semi-formal yet relaxed occasion, exactly what we were looking for.
(5)jen r.
i finally made it back to crazy about you a few weeks ago. thankfully our party of 6 got there early for our 8 pm reservations because by 9pm the restaurant was packed. it was very warm in the restaurant, we thought it was because we were sitting close to the door, but as we walked out i noticed serveral people fanning themselves in all areas of the main dining room. its summer time in miami, turn down the ac please!! anyways the menu has changed since my last visit, there are now 3 prices to choose from and still a great deal becasue you get a full size appetizer with each entree, and house wine bottle at 14 is a steal!! we had the message in a bottle dessert - create your own browie sundae - it was delicious!! none of the dishes were really standouts as far as taste or creativity. but overall you get great value for the money. dont go there expecting top notch cuisine, but if you want a fun atmosphere and very affordable food and drinks, with a beautiful view right outisde look no further!!
(4)Jason H.
The two stars are based mostly on the food, which was incredibly average in and of itself. Pair the food with the price of the food, and it was horrible. Small portions of average, overpriced food, and a waiter obnoxiously up-selling every aspect of the meal and calling me boss didn't help with the experience. If you're going on a date, the restaurant itself is very nice. The bar area is well laid out, with different seating areas and plenty of open space. In nice weather, the outdoor area has great views, perfect for a romantic date. Inside is also nice, with well-spaced tables and comfortable chairs, and slightly dated but elegant white decor. If you're a foodie looking for a great meal, this shouldn't be on the top of your list, but if you need a good first or second date spot, give it a try. Just don't expect fine dining.
(2)Thiago P.
One of the best places I've been to in Miami. Great atmosphere, awesome service, pretty good food, beautiful views!!! I was there for my wife's birthday and she also loved the place. We had croquettes and a ham/cheese combo as appetizers and these were delicious! The entrees were the tortellini with salmon and the wild rice risotto. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the fact that the shrimps on the risotto had the tails and some weren't fully peeled. Still a great experience that I will definitely repeat!
(4)Mel A.
Such a cute place! very nice for a group meal or a date! the food was great (they keep it simple) you're not going to crazy about you for an exquisite menu, you're going for the view & vibe , the house wine was awesome & very inexpensive. i had read on yelp ppl complaining about the bathrooms? i went on a saturday at 8pm and i didnt have any issues at all. I HIGHLY recommend reservations, we were 40 mins late and they held our table. parking is valet and it was $10
(5)Erica C.
Loved Crazy About You. The ambiance is perfect, the service is excellent. Our waiter Joshua was super attentive and checked on us regularly. My meal was delicious. For my appetizer I had the Chihuahua cheese that was super scrumptious, also the calamari flatbread was DELICIOUS. It's a must have. For my entree I had the Wild rice with shrimp mushroom and a cheese sauce, delectable. I would definitely recommend Crazy About You and I will certainly be returning.
(5)Randi B.
This past weekend I had a surprise engagement party at Crazy About You for my best friends. Being the maid of honor I wanted it to be perfect. The restaurant manager Ricky was very professional and made everything wonderful! Our table was gorgeous, our food was great, and they were nice enough to give us separate checks! Thank You! Randi
(5)Christian B.
Dinner on terrace : You need a flash light to read the menu, and see what do you have in your plate. The service was the worse of the town, long, take of the plate before you finished your meal , no smile, bring the wine list after serving the first plate, If you need something you have to find a waiter inside the restaurant !, 1rst and last time I m going there.
(1)Meg H.
Am I still as crazy about Crazy About You? Probably not Don't get me wrong..this place is a great choice when you are going out with a group and looking for something different. They have a menu with something for everyone and have recently made some very nice changes to the entree and appetizer selection as well. The thing is that the food is never really mind-blowing. I love the app and entree combo at the 3 price points, and I hear they have great Happy Hour specials though I am never there early enough to enjoy. The thing about Crazy About You is that the decor, view and atmosphere are really spectacular for the price. As previously mentioned it's always a good choice for a group as everyone ends up having a great time even considering that the food can be lackluster.
(3)Lyn B.
Lovely Restaurant, can't believe is not expensive at all. Menu is different than what I'm used too. The serrano croquetes are delicious, the Kobe mini burgers too. The drinks OMG the lemon drop & cosmo's were just perfect. the service incredible! I will definitely come back again!
(5)Agatha C.
The 4 stars indicate im a fan of Crazy About You. Am I crazy about their menu? Not so much. The only reason I am not crazy about the menu is well because im a picky eater. I'm not a fan of the menu selection, but they did have a few stuff I really enjoyed. I went for a friends birthday and came a little late. I was picking at friends food and It all tasted delicious, but what I had was the "crazy about you margarita" & a bite of my friends slow braised steak. It was delicious! The prices are reasonable and each meal comes with your own appetizer! Which I think that's pretty genius! They had happy hour which consisted of $2 Bud Lights! Score! My boyfriend and I enjoyed the outside seating area and the ambiance of the place. Will definitely come back with a more open mind with their menu selection, just because im not such a fan doesn't mean others wouldn't be.
(4)Luis R.
Excellent food and ambience. Prefer the outside terrace as it can get fairly loud/noisy inside. Service, as in the other two locations, is excellent.
(4)Alex L.
Such a beautiful place. I've been there at night for drinks n appetizers n yesterday I had lunch there for the first time. It's a great restaurant for a first date ;-) . I ordered the croquetas as an appetizer with the chicken w spinach n asparagus as my entree (remember every entree brings its own appetizer of ur choice). Sooo delicious. Didn't have dessert. I'm still on low carb. The service was very attentive. Prices are reasonable. View is absolutely gorgeous on a sunny Saturday afternoon. My date n I really enjoyed it. Hey, maybe he'll ask me on a second date ;-) Go check it out!!
(4)Whitney K.
Crazy About You is the foodie equivalent of "cheap chic." This sleek, romantic water-front dining (with a merciful prix fixe menu) is like that go-to, trendy dress you would never admit you found at TJ MAXX. The atmosphere channels everything you love about the other upwardly mobile watering holes in Brickell without the guilt of spending half your paycheck. The food is savory and well made, if not necessarily mind blowing, and there are few places in the area that offer a better value for the dollar. Aside from the price, you have to admit that waterfront dining is hard to find -- especially waterfront dining with such a beautiful view and beautiful people to go with it. Not to be missed.
(4)Scott T.
Last night was our first night there. All I can say is wow wow wow. For the price I can't say I have had better. The calamari flat bread was wicked good. The steak and fries made me happy. And the signature croquettes were better than the original location. The service was extremely attentive...and we all think Ariel's review below is so off the mark. No matter what you pay you expect the service to be good. We already planned a trip back and looking to have a party there! Oh...did I mention the views, the patio and the great decor throughout??? I didn't? Well you have to go see that too! Awesome.
(5)Natalia D.
Okay, so a co-worker had told me about this place. About their great menu pricing and also I had seen a few of my friends posting pictures from this place on different social networking sites. I decided to check this place out for myself -- and I gotta say, nothing to be crazy about. First of all, the air conditioner was broken. Which I understand, stuff happens, but it seems like it had been broken for a while because their were leaks coming in from the ceiling and they had several huge industrial fans all over the restaurant. Seeing the issue with the air, we decided to take a table outside -- which is what we originally wanted anyways because of the amazing view this place has. The table we were seated at was right by the BOH (back of house) stairs, which is where all the waiters and bus boys come thru. It was also right up against a wall and only one person could really enjoy the view, because the other person was facing the back of the restaurant. Our waitress, although very nice, could barely speak English and was not able to be helpful with menu suggestions when asked -- seeing as it was our first time we wanted to know what was best to order. The food was, eh - okay. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't something to write home about. I had the croquettes as my appetizer and the churrasco entree, I mean its pretty hard to mess those up. As it got later in the night the restaurant became extremely packed, almost too comfortable. Needless to say, we didn't stay for dessert. The only saving grace Crazy About You has its is view. Not returning anytime soon, unless obligated.
(2)Cecy M.
This place is ridiculous! First, let me explain that the food is no big deal at all. Know you are paying for the view. If you want to just go outside and have a drink, and someone orders an appetizer, they charge you a 10 dollar sharing fee (even if and when you order a drink). I will never come back here again! When the server or the greeter finds out you are not interested in ordering anything to eat, they come by and take your utensils (so there is no way of attempting to share a dish no one can finish alone anyway).

Went to Crazy About You this past Friday. I had made a reservation for 7 pm so there was absolutly no wait time. We also got lucky enough to be able to sit outside where the view is fantastic! Service was great as well. We were given pita chips and red pepper hummus as a starter I guess, which I assuming is unlimited because we were asked if we wanted any more. I started withe the Fried avocados, which in my opinion were a little to salty, but the breading was great. My boyfriend had a tortilla with ham & cheese plate which he didnt seem to have an issue with. For the entrees, I had the Blue Fin Tuna Carpaccio with seaweed salad. MY only complaint...I wanted more! My boyfriend had the Tiger Shrimp Snapper plate with mashed potatos that were really good as well. For dessert, we ordered the Message in a Bottle plate. I will say that it wasn't a life changing dessert, obviously, but it's the fact that you can assemble the dessert yourself that makes it good. All in all, for $50 it was a great diner, with a great view!

My coworkers took me here before I left on maternity leave. At 38 weeks preggo I had no taste buds, I just devoured anything in site! The view is spectacular, but the food isn't anything out of this world. It's edible don't get me wrong, but it comes with a price tag that I'm not too crazy about.

I've heard of this place before and have been to their sister restaurant Dolores but you can call me Lolita so I know the food had to be good and it wasn't, it was awesome and sitting over looking Biscayne Bay just made it even better. I had the serrano ham croquettes (just like Dolores which are the best in town by the way), the chichuahua cheese with chorizo appetizer (cheesy goodness), and the risotto with shrimp that took me to heaven and back. Everything was delicious. Even just for drinks this place ranks in my book as one of the best not only for the taste of their food, but also the ambiance, service, and low prices.

Awesome atmosphere and decor. The food is very good. I mean how can you snobs complain for 20-25 bucks you get a entree and a great appetizer. Its not like you payed mad money, and u ain't at the fountain blue. If u want that caliber of food go there or go to Nobu and spend 250$ for 2 people. I love it here my boyfriend and I had a amazing romantic meal here on the water. The have a decent house wine for like 12$ a bottle what? Wow. And desserts are like 3-5$ so you can try a few. We love it here and will always go back. My boyfriend is a vegetarian and they always have something for both of us. I like Lolita's too especially happy hour!

There is nothing crazy about the restaurant.. There are variety of dishes served, the prices are fair having in mind that it's in Brickell, and it has nice views of the bay. Make sure you park in public parking if not valet will cost you $10-.

After hearing about this place, we decided to stop by on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. Appetizers: Serrano ham croquetta's- DE-lish, just like at "Delores..Lolita's". The serving was good, too. About 5-6 croquettes. Calamari flatbread- meh. This was okay, but nothing to write about. Entrees: I had the Kobe sliders with shoestring fries. mmmmmmm! The sweet onions were so yummy, the thousand islands dressing was just right and lets not forget about the shoestring fries! Surprisingly big serving, as well. Happy Tummy ;) My hubby ordered the Pork Osobucco with mofongo mash. The pork was DRENCHED with a WHOLE lotta' sweet/spicy/tangy-ish BBQ sauce. Needless to say, he didn't like it at all :/. I tried it and agreed it was waaaay too much sauce. The mofongo mash had the sauce on it, too, so we couldn't even catch the flavor of it. Completely ruined the meal. Don't get me wrong, the sauce didn't taste "bad", but it was just too overpowering. We decided to share my sliders, had 1 each, and shared the shoestring fries (and there was still some left-over when we were done). The waitress noticed he didn't touch his meal and agreed that sometimes the sauce can be too much. She told us she was going to tell her manager to take it off the bill- which was totally nice and unexpected. The manager came by and introduced herself, blah blah blah, all was well until we received the bill. Mind you, I'm not a cheap person, AT ALL. We weren't even expecting them to take it off the bill. With that being said, they charged us a nice $10 "sharing" fee instead. Uh, REALLY? His plate was $16.99. They basically took a whopping $6.99 off our bill. Still a nice gesture, I guess. But we were kinda forced to share since he didn't like his plate. Whaaaatever, there goes the double tip I was going to leave the waitress for the "nice gesture" :) Would we go again? Maaaaybe if we are in the area, hungry, on a nice day, and feeling adventurous. Anywho, 3 stars for that.

Pros: great place for groups. My wife and i took out a group of 7 for dinner with 4 bottles of wine and the total was $250 with tip. pretty solid! food was good not great. place has a great view of Biscayne Bay. Cons: Service is horrible, waited 20 min to get our food order in and the waiter pretty much abandoned us once he finally delivered the food. *we all had fun, but i prefer "Dolores but you can call me Lolita" (owned by the same group CAY)
(3)Dominic S.
Great food, great value, and fantastic views! We booked this place for our wedding reception dinner at a very reasonable price. They let us set up early and accomodated us even when guests showed up late. The food was all excellent and they made sure our wine glasses were always full. Definitely a place worth checking out and be sure to order the calamari flatbread!
(5)Vanessa M.
This place might be crazy about me, but I am certainly not crazy about it. Don't get me wrong. It's a beautiful space in a stunning location, service is decent, and they made me a great caipirinha. However, I just wasn't impressed by the food at all. It's a prix fixe menu, so each guest has to order an individual appetizer and an entree (it's a pretty good deal). The calamari flatbread was the only thing I really enjoyed eating. For my entree I ordered the short ribs with truffle mashed potatoes. The meat was dry and the truffle mash lacked oh, I don't know...truffle? My less fussy-eating family did enjoy their meal, though and we all loved the Message In a Bottle brownie dessert.
(2)Vanessa S.
I really like Crazy About You. The food is slightly better than Lolitas- which makes it slightly above average. But the service & ambiance are on par with it's sister restaurant.
(4)Michael L.
I can see why many people rate this place 4 stars. The good: the waiter we had was very polite and very attentive. The view is very nice with a downtown ocean view. The decor is "modernish," a cool place to hang out. Food is good and rich. The bad: Hostesses are HORRIBLE & RUDE!! They are the biggest downside to this place. The bartenders are more worried about socializing than attending.
(3)Suzette F.
This place has a beautiful view and, for the price, I might go back just to enjoy the view. That said, both times I have been here, you are bombarded with the odor of stinky bathroom as you walk in. And the bathroom is just that...stinky. Once, the toilet lid was completely removed and just left open. Gross. Moving on, food was decent. Salads were overdressed both times I went but hot items were hot and tasty. I will say that the service was really good. The wait staff was attentive when we were just a small group sitting outside in the middle of the week as they were when I was there with 50 ppl for a shower.

So! This is a review based on 3 visits. A business lunch, some after work drinks with friends and a romatintic birthday dinner with my husband. Ambiance: This place is beautiful, the best time to go is after 4pm when the sun is down but there is still plenty of natural light out. Be sure to grab a table in the terrace or down below next to the boardwalk. Food: Although the have a very limited menu and does not rotate to often, so far all of the things i've had have been great. Strongly reccomend: Starters- goat cheese/butternut squash salad and the huevos estrellados Entrees- From Peru w Love (gnocchi in yellow chili sauce), the Orange roughy w sauteed spinach and the Applewood short rib with mashed potatoes Dessert- Capuccino flan Service: Lunch can be a bit slow, but dinner was served very quickly. Servers are very polite and knowledgeable of the menu. My favorite server is Luis. Value: After our last experience (dinner), we think this is probably the best dinner deal in Brickell. We paid $65 incl tip and we got: - 1 bottle of the house cabernet - 1 Mexican caprese salad - 1 Huevos estrellados - 1 gnocchi in yellow chili sauce - 1 Applewood short rib - 1 capuccino flan I strongly reccomend this place. The only reason Im not giving it 5 stars is the limited menu choices.

After a crazy week of work and wedding planning I wanted to have dinner with my lovely by the water and this little place hit the spot. They have a good menu.that goes in sections and price which makes it really easy to order. I suggest to get a spot outside to take advantage of the view and ambiance. The service was on spot from the moment we walked in until we left. The server greeted us and sat us promptly and took our order right away. You wouldnt think a place like this would be in brickell but i can see how it has done good. I hope to stars move up because i have heard nothing but good things about this place. The food tasted great and the bottle of wine hit the spot as we dined.

My partner and I just ate here earlier around sunset. Everything from the food, atmosphere and staff were awesome. We were sat immediately. My partner who is a very picky eater loved everything he ate. He had the calamari flatbread which I tried and the pizza diavola (pepperoni). I had the Asian spring rolls which I thought would be from frozen but they weren't and the From Peru with love Gnocchi with Salsa de Aji Amarillo and Shrimp which I absolutely loved. Everything was well seasoned and very flavorful. All entrees come with an appetizer. Our server Christian was absolutely wonderful, something not seen in Miami. He was friendly, suggestive, attentive. He also helped draw our picture for the message in a bottle dessert. Made a dolphin on the sunset, since we just saw dolphins in the water. Made a very memorable first night in Miami for our 7th anniversary. Manager also came to the table repeatedly checking to see how everything was. We will definitely be back and recommend to anybody.

Went here by the suggestion of Yelp with friends that were visiting from out of town and was beyond AMAZED. The atmosphere was incredible, the staff was amazing and the food..omg. The food from looking online I was a little out of my comfort zone but when we arrived and looked at the menu was very satisfied with finding something for everyone. We even shared with eachother too, to taste the different foods. I especially loved that you got 2 coursed for the price of one. Such a great concept that I hope they trademarked because it left more room to spend on drinks and if other restaurants knew about it would be following your trend. Our waitress Daniela was the best very personable and attentive for her alone I will be returning with my bf for our anniversary!!! Can't wait.
(5)Gabriela I.
I love the romantic ambiance of this restaurant. Dim lighting, nice decor, good service, and perfect for a date night! We didn't get to sit outside since we came without a reservation, but if you do go try and get a table outside with the beautiful view. The prices are good especially for the amount of food you get since each plate comes with an appetizer. For the appetizer I ordered the calamari flatbread, it was yummy! (See Picture). I ordered the chicken carbonara zucchini pasta as my main dish and I absolutely loved it!! It was delicious and I'm not even a fan of zucchini. (See picture).
(4)Jensy S.
This was my first time EVER in Miami and I took my girlfriend out to this restaurant for her birthday. The service was exceptional - top notch service. Our server, Erick, and management were personal and willing to go above and beyond. They helped me surprise my girlfriend with a happy birthday cake at the end of the night. Furthermore, our original seating wasn't the best, but management was more than glad to move us to an ocean view table to make the night special. Overall this place has a great environment and perfect for a romantic diner - plus the food was top notch. Greg value for the food and service and I will definitely come back again. A+++
(5)Syrel R.
One of my favorites. This place is great for date night but it's also jut as good for a night out for dinner and drinks with the girls. The food is always great and the drinks are always flowing. The Serrano ham & cheese croquettas are bomb, the gnocchi is always killer, and the steaks are always cooked to perfection and served with tasty sides. They also have cool low carb options like zucchini carbonara or cauliflower rice. If you're looking for a more low cal meal those are available as well. This makes for a great option for when you have been working your ass off in the gym and don't want to kill it just bc you wanted to have a night out with your boo or your girls.
(5)Maurice L.
Love the food and the prices here this place has a nice winning combination of ambiance and great food. Love to go on a date here its always a pleasant experience, every bottle of wine is $15 The menu is set up in a way where you pick from options for your 3 course meal. Prices are from $23 - $30 per person. So its a great deal and the food is really good, want to impress her on a budget take her here!!!
(5)Dainelys M.
Crazy about you is allllll about passion, with that being said its a great place for dates !!! They have a nice wooden box in the center of the table to place your cellphones... Which to me is a great idea since me and my hubby are believers of no cellphones while having dinner. The view is amazingly beautiful, and who doesn't appreciate dining with a view ? They have a rather large wine selection, and off course a full bar :) I have been here four times and I've received outstanding service every single time !! EVERY ENTREE COMES WITH AN APPETIZER! So that's a good thing, you get your own personal appetizer while waiting on your food !! I got the chihuahua cheese one, which is suggest, I am so obsessed with it !! I come here mostly for this!!! My husb got the Caesar salad but he was extremely jealous of mine !! His was just a regular salad. But it did come in a cute mason jar. And then we then both got the churrascos with mash potatoes which was delicious in my opinions and was served in a very good portion !! Von appetite :) the only thing Is.. If you go on a busy day make sure you wait for an outside table!! Inside it's ridiculously loud and you literally WILL get a headache !!!

Came here last year for my birthday. I had always wanted to try it because of the pictures I'd seen online. Plus I had visited Lolitas & fell in love so I wanted to fall in love all over again. Ambiance: The location of the restaurant is great. It's right by the water. Very romantic & has a similar concept as Lolitas. I love the writing on the bathroom mirrors. Food: The food is similar to what they have at lolitas. Once again I had the croquettes, which I proclaim once again are the best Ive ever had! For my entree I had some pasta dish I can't remember the exact name but it was also very good. Service: They won't seat you until your entire party is there even with a reservation, which I have always found to be annoying when restaurants do that. So once my entire group got there we ended up waiting almost 30 mins to be seated. Our server was ok he didn't seem to know much english though. He did give me a free dessert for my birthday, which was a plus. I would deff return to this place for a date night. Its a perfect place to go if you dont want to break the bank but still have a very romantic night out.

So I decided to surprise my girl after work and take her here as I was recommended by some Co workers. They told me it was inexpensive, has a beautiful view, and great food. Made reservations for 7pm and we got there early to walk by the water which she loved :) she found it romantic lol We valet the car which was $10, walked, then went in the place early cause we were starving. We sat outside which to me ended up making me feel hot as it got darker. I ordered the calamari flatbread as an appetizer which was AMAZING! It's a must try! As my entrée I had the baby back ribs which were good but not the best ever. Very soft and tender but like I said I've had better elsewhere. The part I probably enjoyed the most was the ending. We had the "message in a bottle" as a dessert which we both found cute. You basically put together your own brownie with topings and ice cream but the cute part is that you get to write a message to your significant other with the chocolate on the plate!

The view. The view. The view! Did I mention the view yet? Crazy About You is one of my favorite restaurant in Miami. For me, the service has always been great, the food is always great, I love the decor, and oh yeah, the view. I love the way the bar slash seating area is decorated. Dark walls light colored accents. Those big gummy bears and photos of Marilyn Monroe and Liz Taylor. That glass enclosed library of liquor. It's kind of have a modern mancave feel to it without feeling too masculine. The dining area is very Miami in its white, kind of pristine look and of course, the back patio which looks out into the bay. The food has always been great. Each meal comes with a free appetizer. I don't know about you, but I love free stuff. Oh, and their complimentary bread sticks with vinegar and oil are pretty bomb. Yea, I said, "bomb". The calamari pizza with the peppers is my go-to app. It's big but not too filling and the calamari is always fresh. The meals are great. I've had the zucchini pasta and I've tried short ribs. Both were amazing. The dishes don't always look big, but their definitely filling. I keep reading reviews about the service being kind of meh, but I haven't had a bad experience yet. And no, I'm not letting them slide because they are in Miami and I should expect mediocrity, it's always been well above my general expectations for any dining experience. I've taken out of town friends here, I've celebrated birthdays here and I've just gone here just to go and have a good meal, and oh yeah, I've gone here for the view too.
(4)Geraldine A.
My review is solely based on their Wednesday happy hour, and I was extremely happy during these hours. My table and I ended up ordering almost everything on their HH menu and everything was exceptional: cheese croquettes, tuna tacos, seared tuna, kobe sliders, calamari flatbread, yummmm... $1 champagne glasses for ladies, can't go wrong with that!!!
(5)Tori M.
I fell in love with this restaurant when we walked in. The decor is very unique. The service was excellent. We had a server named Carlos. He was great. We were early for our reservation but they sat us immediately. They gave us the option to sit outside and they were nice enough to find us a good table inside when we thought it was going to rain. Now for the food: the calamari flatbread was great, so were the fried green tomatoes. The Serrano ham croquets were amazing-a must! The risotto was delicious, my favorite dish so far. The churrasco was juicy and tender. I had the zucchini pasta with chicken. Best of all. Everything was reasonably priced and every entree comes with an appetizer. The wine was $5.00 a glass and overall, we paid less than $30 a person. Great place. We'll be back.
(5)Rachael B.
I'm crazy about Crazy About You! The best things about this restaurant are the unique presentation and the view. This place is great both for lunch and happy hour/dinner. I love sitting outside with the bay breeze and overlooking Brickell Key. The people watching is also great. The food is a mix between Italian/Mediterranean/American. Overall the food is pretty good, not amazingly life changing, but good. The best part is the presentation they give for the desserts. The dessert menu is a miniature windmill, firstly. Then they have a brownie dessert on the menu that you can make your self and at the end they give you a piece of paper to write a quote on to be entered into a rally for a free meal. Great spot for a special lunch or happy hour!
(4)Michelle H.
Not crazy about this place AT ALL. I went with several of married friends to enjoy what was suppose to be a special night. We were all looking forward to the "great service and food". Unfortunately we were disappointed due to all the hype this place was made out to be. Very pricey for the amount of food. It took us 45min to get our car back from valet. Let's say we won't be returning. Oh! And God forbid you share your plate with your spouse. You'll have to pay extra for sharing. Um... No.

We went for bridal shower - big group of girls. Their service was great! Food was great!

Was a great place but with reservation I had to wait more than 1 hour was terrible I almost gone
(1)Laurie S.
We tried to eat here today for lunch. Unfortunately, the hostess was unable to seat us. There was an almost open restaurant full of inside tables, but she needed to talk to her manager to know where she was allowed to seat us, waiting at least 10 minutes with no resolution. I cannot speak to the food, however, the service and demeanor of the hostess was enough to cause us to leave and find a much friendlier restaurant with quicker service.
(2)Martin H.
Wow, living the dream! Great food overlooking the bay and the Miami Beach skyline. House wine is good value but there's a nice selection of reds that are worth the money in my opinion. This place is classy so dress up :)
(5)Brett P.
Very happy with this lunch find walking distance from office locations. Somewhat unassuming in curbside appeal, it delivers once out on their patio overlooking the bay. The multilevel views were spectacular and venue defining. It was just disappointing the restaurant lacks an entrance that is equal to the dining setting. We had the Tres Tuna Tacos and the pepperoni pizza. The crust on the pizza was amazingly light, and the pizza was not too greasy as pepperoni can tend to be. The tacos were fantastic, with flour the choice of tortilla but featuring large chunks of slightly over-cooked tuna pieces. The amount of tuna in the tacos was very impressive. Perhaps the hidden jewel of the menu was the $15 bottle of house wine. Given the views, ocean breeze, northern Italy inspired cuisine, it almost made you overlook the extremely creepy oversized gummy bears adorning the restaurant's perimeter.
(4)Manu G.
We went there for my husband's birthday. First, I made a reservation surprise for my husband a week ahead of time so I don't create any confusion and don't go through hustle. I invited important people from his job and as soon as they got there they were very badly welcomed. They were not allowed to bring in their gift because it was a little big, and when I showed up with my husband the hostess was like oh I don't have you on here and ignored me to talk to people behind me then she said oh the 12 people reservation? Right in front of him when I told them specifically on the phone it's a surprise. They didn't do anything special.. The server and the server was alright.. and when it's busy you don't see any of the bay view cuz people walking around too much.. I totally won't recommend this place especially for a specific occasion
(1)Stefan K.
View is great, nice place. Drinks are fairly priced in the happy hour, but if you have to wait in a crowded line for 30 minutes watching a single barman handle the crowd is not fun at all.
(3)Amber D.
Great date spot! Good food, beautiful views and ambiance. What more could you want? I'll definitely be back. And those ham croquettes just like at Lolita's- to die for!
(5)Adam S.
Great atmosphere and ambiance. Food was decent, service was great! Nice place for a date, or to go with friends. Prices on par with the area

Great service beautiful restaurant and view my boyfriend and I came here for anniversary dinner was very romantic and nice I loved it. Food was great, noticed everyone getting pizza will have to try next time we go . Andres provided fast and great service ! Very friendly
(5)Erika K.
I'm not too crazy about Crazy about you. I find the food to be just... Meh. I've eaten several times from the family style menu for business meetings and I'm not a huge fan of the concept. I can't comment on the meat dishes since I don't eat meat, but I have found the pastas to be way to oily and salty with no other real flavor. The gnocchi was good, but some of my friends found it too spicy for their palates. My husband is a huge fan of the lentil soup. I haven't tried it because it has bits of chorizo in it. The only reasons to come here is for the incredible view of Biscayne Bay and for the quick and inexpensive lunch specials (ideal if you work nearby).
(3)Anahy D.
Great Restaurant !! is a romantic place where i ate with my husband ... the view to the Lake was amazing .. And the food !! well .. what can i say first i din't know what to drink and the waitress suggested me a Mojito with a touch of strawberry , which i loved it , an excelent combination for people to like sweet drinks like me . Then for appetizer we got a Chihuaha Cheese Casserole ( the cheese was super melted and easy to eat ) and Calamare al pepperoncini Flatbread ( is a little kind like thin pizza with calamare on top in elegance version ) super delicious Then for entrées i got The Faux Riso ! is like a casserole with shrimps, mushrooms into wild rice , was the perfect combination then my husband got the Veal Churrasco !! he loved it ... with the Chimichurri mmmm Can't say more and thats why i give 5 stars
(5)Tina C.
--I POSTED UP PHOTOS!! CHECK THEM OUT!!- My older sister Jada C. (a popular Yelper, check her out!) took the family and I here for a late dinner. She came here quite a few times and said that this restaurant had some pretty great deals. FYI: with every ma

Not a great set up for large parties. It was impossible to have group convo the way the tables were set up. Food was tasty. Service was good. The place was cold! We were offered a blanket. That was a weird response to letting them know we were freezing. It was a business outing, sitting with a blanket wasn't a real option. Otherwise, tasty experience. I would go back for the salmon.
(4)Mara B.
Absolutely love this place. Came here for the first time ever. It was my boyfriends birthday so I wanted to go to a nice restaurant and from the reviews I was sold with this plave. OK, so first thing the location. It is located downtown miami by the water! Which means you can sit outside and have an amazing view. Unfortunately it was super windy on the night we went so we stayed inside. The menu that night gave us 4 options. An entrée and appetizer starting $18.99 up to $32.99 . We chose an entrée that was under the $25.99 list. So for $25.99 we each got one entrée and one appetizer. It was delicious. Our server was really nice and ambience was just amazing! candle in the middle and all. They also had wine options for $5 /glass or $15 /bottle. At the end of our meal they brought out a plate that said happy birthday with cheesecake for my boyfriend! Pretty awesome! I cannot say enough good things about this place. Oh and not that it really matters but theirs tv 's in the bathroom! ! Lol crazy cool
(5)H S.
Beautiful ambience, next to the water and very nice interior decor but food quality not the best.
(4)Evelio R.
Amazing view of Brickell Bay by the water. Extremely delicious food yet without the price that Brickell restaurants usually have; very affordable. Fantastic atmosphere and ambiance with an indoor lounge and outdoor bar. Very romantic and intimate for when you want to connect with a special someone. My girlfriend surprised me for my birthday here and I would definitely come back in the near future. One of the best places I've been to, hands down. Definitely get the quinoa lettuce wrap; so delicious.
(5)Taurean B.
This might be the best restaurant I've been to. Food, service and atmosphere was all perfect. Can't ask for more.
(5)Lorena R.
Nothing can beat their prime terrace overlooking the bay. Perfect spot for Friday happy hours!!! Their wine bottle prices are very reasonable and their appetizers are pretty good. Make sure you get there early because it gets very packed!!
(4)Katrina B.
Crazy About You gets four stars from me mainly because of the beautiful waterfront view/seating and the inexpensive house wine bottle selection - $15 gets you far in this restaurant. Two food items that I love here are the serrano ham croquettas and the veal churrasco. The service is okay. I've had experiences where it was phenomenal and others that left a lot to be desired, but for the most part, the beautiful waterfront views do enough to distract me from those small moments of disappointment. Valet is quite expensive ($10-15) so I suggest that you park in Mary Brickell if you're commuting to the restaurant and walk it the 5 minutes over.
(4)Ryan M.
For the entire dinning and drinks Brickell experience, this place rocks. Unbelievably low prices. The meals come with so much, so bring your appetite. I am curious to see some of their sister locations.
(5)Dee N.
My friend and I were visiting the Miami Area and had Dinner at "Crazy about you". Fabulous food and wonderful atmosphere with a view of the Bay. A good variety of meal options. The food was fantastic! My friend was very happy with her meal so was I. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!
(5)Dee C.
Absolutely amazing! The service, food& atmosphere. I took my fiancé there for his birthday, and from the moment we walked in through the front door the service was great. The decor inside is very nice. We sat outside in the covered patio because the night was perfect. My fiancé got the chicken with the arugula salad and it was perfect, as an appetizer he has the calamari flatbread and that was Delish! I had the croquettes as an appetizer and the churrasco with chorizo mashed potatoes and that was delicious as well. The waiter was great. She even brought out a desert for my fiancé which said happy birthday. We plan on coming back with family so that they can experience what we did. Highly recommended!
(5)Lourdes A.
Brunch!! Had that Spinach Quinoa Salad and the Grilled Short Rib Benedict.... Outstanding!! I am officially hooked on the salad.. Sat outside and was able to enjoy the gorgeous view of the water!!! Will return...!
(5)Gabrielle R.
I love this place.. I live next door so it's like going to a friend's house and getting a drink and dinner.. It's a cute little spot that'll brighten up any day.. And that ocean view.. Breathless.. Keep it up..
(5)Jennifer C.
Overall had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The menu has a great selection with some creative options. I ordered the filet medium rare and it wasn't over-cooked (a big problem when you like your meat still mooing). The view is lovely and they have fans on the patio. However, if it's due for a downpour it could be risky to sit outside even though it's covered. It was a little noisy for a more formal atmosphere - I wish they would have turned down the music inside of the restaurant. I was here on a date and it was difficult to talk without shouting. Full bar was nice with a great variety and good well liquor. The cocktail menu, however, was a little too sweet and fruity. If you like a more bitter cocktail or one without tons of sugar then you're going to need order your liquor neat or with a splash of tonic.
(4)Cindy C.
Make sure you make reservations before coming to this place! The food is great just as all of their 2 locations. Very gourmet so do not expect huge dishes. If it's not windy ask to be outside. Beautiful view!
(5)Janisse R.
The food is average. The view outside is gorgeous! and the staff was very nice. I came here for lunch had the croquettes and burgers my friend had the salmon. The lentil soup was probably the best part of our lunch meal. Parking is horrible. The view, atmosphere and staff recieve a 5 star rating. Food and parking get a 3 star rating.
(4)Daniel P.
Where lackluster food meets a beautiful view. Honestly, only go if you wanna grab some drinks because the inside is gorgeous and the outside even more so. Me and my girlfriend had 5 items and every single one was meh.

This place literally has the worst hostess ever first of all when we got there she wasn't even attentive at all she spoke to the people behind us and could not even usher us to our table then we try to sit at a table she told us that we couldn't sit there because we are only two people and there was nobody in the restaurant then we try to sit down and the server comes up to us and assures us that we're going to have the worst service ever so at that point we just got up and left

As most people say, their food is very average. Good, but not outstanding. The reason you go to Crazy About You is for the view and atmosphere. It is unbeatable. You have a view of Brickell, the ocean, and the port. Our service was great. I recommend this restaurant to anyone with out of town guests or for a romantic evening.

This was my first time at the restaurant. I made the reservation 3 weeks ahead. I noted in the Open Table reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and it would be our first time visiting the restaurant, so I requested an intimate table, with a view. They called to confirm the reservation the day of, so I called back and reminded the hostess of my request. She claimed the reservation guaranteed a table, but not a location in the restaurant. I called back and asked for a manager. I explained how long ago I made the reservation and that his hostess told me that a guarantee of my request could not be honored, only a table somewhere in the restaurant. He asked what my request was and said that he would work with me. So, I thought "great" the birthday girl would get a nice table, where we could hear each other talk, and have a nice view of the bay...Instead, when we arrived the hostess told me the same thing she said over the phone. I told her that I'd already spoken to the manager about this. She went and spoke to the manager and then I saw them moving the table settings over to another table(the table they were going to give us was at the entrance to the restaurant, which would not have been intimate or with a view). The table we ended up with was a corner table near a window, which overlooked the...parking lot. So much for the view! I walked around to the far end of the restaurant and noticed that there was room on that side where they could have placed us that would have been intimate, since there was no one over there and it overlooked the bay. SMH. What's the point of making a reservation so far in advance, if they are not willing to honor it. Any other restaurant is willing to work with you, to meet your needs, especially when it's a special occasion. As for the food, it's basically the same as it's sister restaurant, Dolores, But You Can Call Me Lolita. The best part of this brand of restaurants is that they include your appetizer with your entrée, for no additional cost. The portions are small and the food is just ok. We came from Ft Lauderdale, so the food itself was not worth the trip. I had the gnocchi, which tasted like pure flour. My friend ordered some kind of brisket and she liked hers. Another ordered salmon and she was satisfied with hers. The other 2 ordered the Skinny Lolita, which was basically a flattened version of chicken breast. They said it was ok. We had dessert, but again, the portions were ridiculously small. I had the brownie, which comes with this huge plate and condiments to decorate it, but seriously, just give me a bigger brownie with all the trimmings, and a smaller plate, and that would suffice! Another issue was the parking. The restaurant is located in the Brickell area, which is basically downtown Miami. So, that means a lot of valet parking everywhere, which was fine, but when we arrived, it was raining and when we drove up the valet told us that they didn't have anymore parking spaces and since we were going to the restaurant, we need to go the valet for the restaurant, which was located at the corner. The valet also asked if we had a reservation and I told him yes. I dropped my friends off and drove down to the valet for the restaurant. He then proceeded to ask if I had a reservation...Why are the valets so concerned about that??? Isn't their job to just park the darned car???? I was starting to get the feeling that they didn't want our money! Anyway, I parked the car and walked back up, but what is the point of having valet, if it's not right at the door, especially on a rainy night!!! There was just too much hassle at this restaurant. They tried to act like a fine dining restaurant, but I've been to many of those and it's not up to par! Not worth the hassle! There are plenty of nice restaurants, with a view and nice ambiance in South Florida, that you don't have to drive for 45 minutes to get there!

One of the best I have ever been!! I will recommend to any one.
(5)Danieska S.
This place is adorable! I had the veil with shoe string fries and it was delicious! The dessert platter with the chocolate is very creative and fun. We sat outside and had a breathtaking view. I did not give them 5 stars because the outside seating is quite small, tight, and uncomfortable. It's a shame because those are their best seats.
(4)Ana S.
I love this place! What I love about their three priced menu (there are three lists of entrees at three different prices, and they all include one appetizer that you can choose from a single list of apps) is that no matter which price I choose, I always feel like the price was right for the food, and the food is always DELICIOUS and amazing, no matter which of the three I choose. The place is beautiful, the view is amazing and the service is generally good as well. Their cocktail menu isnt as good as Love Is Blind and the name of the place is super corny (as is the other one they opened in the Gables), but what can I say, the experience of eating there is delightful and I highly recommend it. Tip: huevos estrellados or chorizo for appetizer, sliders - pizza- pasta- or ribs for entree, brownie desert. Sit outside! Go at sunset :).
(4)Juan S.
One of the best places for a water view in Miami. Great outdoor patio. I'm not a huge fan of their food (see Lolita and Love is Blind reviews), but for a drink on the patio, it doesn't get much better.
(4)Sharon W.
I like the price fixe set up, I like the portions, the food is good and service is better than average, for Miami. What really gets this place up to 5 stars is the view! Sit outside and be wowed and happy you live in Miami!
(5)Stephanie A.
We went on a Friday night and it was a one hour wait so we opted to sit at the bar where the full menu is still offered. Drinks were amazing and packed a punch. When you order an entree, it comes with an appetizer. I had the short rib, my husband had the churrasco. Nothing extraordinary but tasty. The chorizo mashed potatoes were amazing though. I EXTREMELY enjoyed to apps of calamari flatbread and cheese plate. I could have just eaten that for my meal! Service was great. Restaurant was on the water so great for a little impromptu photo shoot afterwards. :-) Overall, great restaurant and we will be back!
(4)Madai C.
Went last night for my best friends bachlerotte dinner, it was my first time there. We were seated immediately, and serviced just as fast. I really like the place itself, very romantic ambiance, quick service, great food ! Food- LOVED the calamari flatbread !!!! And the Serrano ham croquetas !!! I also tried the goat cheese salad, which was very good too. The Peruvian Gnocchi was the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. Needless to say I ate the shrimp on the top and left the whole bowl of gnocchi. Thankfully the manager came around and was nice enough to only charge me for the salad. My best friend ordered the chicken milanes with mashed potatoes (two huge chicken breast with melted cheese and tomato sauce) she shared one of the chicken breast with me because she was full from the rest of her meal. Very tasty dish !!!
(5)Johhny B.
The 5 stars are not for the food. The food is 3.5-4 stars which is great in Miami. Food might be a 4 because of the insane value you get. I'm a big eater. So I get fed here. Iv been to all of the restaurants associated with Crazy About You. The 2 reasons I give C.A.Y. 5 stars is because of one employee. He is manager named Mark Warren. He has taken care of me at Love Is Blind and now Crazy About You. He has been more than attentive and his staff seems to love him. GIVE HIM A RAISE! ..... And reason #2 for the 5 stars.....$15 bottles of house wine ;)
(5)Jose T.
I have eaten here twice already with my wife and we've had a great experience both times. The staff is attentive and inviting, and the food is delicious. Considering the location and the ambiance, the prices aren't that over the top. Very nice place and I plan on visiting it again in the future.
(4)Steve L.
Had drinks with a friend last night out on the deck overlooking the bay/Miami Beach. Pros: - Beautiful views - Ample street parking - Excellent pour (was drinking Tequila/rocks and my date was drinking scotch/rocks). Drinks were $12 which is very reasonable for top shelf scotch and tequila - Excellent service Cons - Bar area outside is small (there is a larger bar inside) -
(5)Katherine C.
Great view. Service was average and our meal was good.. Seating is too close for comfort however you can't beat the Miami water view!!!
(3)Z-zar N.
Food was alright.. It wasn't the best, but it was good. I did however loved the view outside at night :) I was there with my girl.. she loved it.
(4)William L.
The place is nice but I had one issue after another. First was bird dropping on a plate I had, second was uncooked eggs really is it that hard to make eggs. Also realizing the website lies about they only have one seat available when there was plenty of space to sit. Lastly they wanted to sit us in a bad view of the ocean when I requested to sit outside. The food was decent but it is only a bit above Latin America
(1)Fernando C.
Outdoors seating ocean view amazing place, food was great, Andres our waiter was top notch.... great experience
(5)Cynthia F.
I loved this place! even though I'm not a big fan of dinning in Brickell due to the prices not compensating with the quality of the food, I can say that this place has it all! Good service, great cocktails, very yummy food, interesting menu, amazing view of Miami and reasonable prices... We had: Appetizer- Serrano Ham croquettes and Homemade lentil soup: AMAZING Entree Blackened Ahi Tuna with Baby Bok Choy and BB Ribs: Excellent Dessert: Cappuccino flan - Delicious
(4)Rich Z.
We really enjoyed our meal on the waterfront. All this dishes were good and the service was very friendly. Nice set up and decor.
(5)Maria L.
One of the worse experience we had. We went to eat last friday the view was fantastic the food was incredible unfortunately the service was pretty bad. It took a while to get the menus even longer to get our food. The waiter didn't pay attention or came around the table to ask how the food was it or if we need anything else not even offer desert. We were very disappointed. I dont think we're going there again or recommend to our friend.
(1)Ale G.
I went there for my friend bday party of 8. They accommodated us just fine and the staff was really helpful also considering we went out on a Friday night. The venue is so cute and romantic for a date. The view is super pretty since its along the water. Enough about the venue, the food was AMAZING and so was the PRICE! You pick an appetizer and then entree. Choices from $18,$20$22 and they're all delicious. I had the croquetas which were sooooo good! If you love cheese then get them also if you love cheese get the Chihuaha Cheese. My friend had it and looks as good as it tastes!! Those two appetizers are a must! I had the calamari flatbread too but it wasn't out of this world. Dinner had the braised steak brasao! Omgggggg this was the best dinner of the night. I tried the short ribs which were also good but the steak basao was the best. Its thick and creamy! Everyone wanted to keep taking bites from my plate. The veal churrasco was really tender but I loved the chorizo infused mashed potatoes. I haven't been a fan of chorizo but I was after tonight. The mashed potatoes had this flavor about them that I really liked. I would definitely recommend crazy about for you for a date night and events. Overall great restaurant!
(4)Laudie M.
I HIGHLY recommend this place. We went here for my girlfriend's birthday with a big party of about 12-14 people. We started by the bar to give everyone the opportunity to arrive before we were seating. The bartender was great she made suggestions based off what we liked and everyone enjoyed their drinks. The bar had a couch seating area so we all waited there and this gave opportunity for everyone to converse before we sat at the dinner table. After everyone arrived we were seated and our wonderful server introduced himself as well as the specials. We ordered a couple bottles of wine and he served us as well as gave suggestions on the menu. Handling big parties is tough but our server really went above and beyond to make sure everyone was good. A couple people had to return their steaks but they were returned promptly and to their liking. He gave us complimentary champagne as well as a chocolate mouse cake for the birthday girl that was delicious! Half the table ordered the ribs the other half ordered the steak and overall everything was delicious. He took group pictures to end an already perfect night. Great scenery, exceptional service and great prices. I will definitely go again. -Melo
(5)Ruthanna Y.
Went there for a 'girls night out' dinner. It was very easy to coordinate the group event with a pre fixe menu. The food is good. Drinks are awesome. This is the kind of place that come to for customer service and great evening views. It's right on the water and has indoor and outdoor seating. Marcella and Michael are great.
(4)Mayra F.
When we walked in the wait was a little long, but we sat at the lounge area and had an appetizer prior to sitting down. Drinks and calamari [absolutely amazing] might I add . About an hour later we got our table looking over the south beach skyline. Gorge!!! Waitress was awesome food was very tasty! Everything we tried tasted great and full of flavor. House wine was good especially for a 15$ A bottle wine. It was great. The view alone is completely worth the dinner . Every entree includes an appetizer so don't get too full!
(5)Brian C.
I had dinner here the other night with a friend who is in Miami for the first time and we both really enjoyed it. I live in the building and had tried to come here before without a reservation on a Friday night and the wait was 2.5 hours. So this time I made a reservation. We sat outside (something you can't reserve ahead of time with your reservation) and the view was incredible. The tables were a little close together and we had a very small table for 2 people. It was especially cramped since I brought my dog with me which they allowed, but you could tell it is not the kind of place most people bring their dog to. The food was amazing. They have a varying menu of meat and seafood dishes. Everything looked amazing. Pricing was somewhat reasonable. They have dishes ranging from about $20 - $26 and that includes 1 appetizer. When it was time for desert my friend and I were too full so we said we would pass, but the waitress brought out a special concoction anyway, complete with a "Welcome to Miami" writing in chocolate sauce on the plate. It was a great touch. Overall loved this place. Great place for a date that is not too expensive but will still impress. Will definitely be going back here.
(4)Cussy S.
Great view, delicious food and great ambience! Serrano ham crockets and Tuna Tataky tacos are a must.

Ok, let's jump right in, here's the good (5 start) and later I will show why I removed 1 star from my rating. The good: - Great location, waterfront, nice view of the bay and Brickell Key Island - Nice Outdoor seating, but watch out for those extremely windy Miami nights - The menu is simple but effective, all entrees come with an appetizer - Most dishes lean towards the exotic side, but this is good, everything was excellent and different - Service was a bit slow, but I had the clear impression our waiter was a newbie, since he didn't know much about the menu and drink options, but he tried hard to make things work - The wibe of the place is great, fun and energetic Now the not so good: - Main dishes are a bit small, but paired with the appetizer it makes for a good portion. And deserts are cheap, get one of their nice concoctions if you still feel hungry - As mentioned, our waiter seemed inexperienced in customer service. Example: my companion did not like the appetizer she ordered, and did not eat it, and when the waiter asked her about it she said she didn't like it.. Instead of offering something else he just said "oh I'm sorry", took the plate and walked away. Wow!! Now here's why I knocked one star of the rating: - Why do some hostesses seem to be at a funeral instead of a happy place? I had reservations, arrived on time, and the two hostesses greeted my with just a grumpy faced "Hi". For our entire stay I did not see a single smile, or an energetic "Welcome dear beloved customer" stuttering out of their mouths. Look, if you hate this job please QUIT, there are other beautiful and sexy Miamians that would fight piranhas in the Amazon river to work as a hostess at this place. And that's not all, I requested to sit outside and got a table, waited for about 15 minutes without any waiter showing up to get our orders, but then it started to rain, so I went inside and asked if we could sit inside, since we didn't even start ordering yet. The hostess looked at me with a face straight out of SAW 3, she was (mentally) ripping my guts out, and offering my still beating heart to the dogs. After a long sigh, and taps on her terminal, she got us a table (yeahhh the devil has a soul, wet customers are never good). Anyway, besides the funeral themed reception, everything else was good or great, so I definitively recommend this place. Cheers!!!

This restaurant is perfect to go with your significant other, or perhaps when you're escaping your significant other for a night out for dinner and drinks with the girls! ;-) The ambience is dim-lit and sexy and I personally love restaurants with that sensual decor! Makes for a great excuse to get all dolled up! I feel as though this restaurant looks more expensive than it actually is! You can dress all fancy shmancy without burning a hole through your wallet. The food isn't half bad either, id recommend the croquettes, kobe beef burgers, tuna burger... try anything! Also, they have $14 house wine bottles- can't beat that! Although, sometimes their pita from their hummus and pita is a bit stale or their plates aren't anything out of the ordinary, they're still good. Id recommend getting a table in the outside patio. The view and breeze is great, you'll thank me later! 'Crazy About You' is sister restaurants with 'Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita', which Ive only gone to for drinks and was super crowded and 'Love Is Blind' which I am looking forward to trying out!
(4)Lawrence P.
I have been to this one several times. Love the menu format!!! The restaurant is real nice. Modern and elegant décor with spacious main space and real nice outdoor area overlooking the bay. So about that menu format, you basically have three columns to choose from. The $17.99, $21.99 or $25.99 columns. I believe now they have added a fourth column for like $33. You basically choose what you want to pay and within those price ranges you get any appetizer you want and an entrée from the column you have chosen. All menus are online. We began with a rice chip... their version of bread. They should have given us bread. As for the food, I have had pretty much all of their appetizers. My favorite is the Mediterranean Antipasto which is a plank with French Brie, Spanish Chorizo and Italian Mortadella as well as the Spinach and Quinoa Salad which has Avocado and Strawberries. For the entrees, they have some good ones. Some of my favorites are the Chilean Sea Bass and the best in show, the lobster and shrimp cannelloni. This one is just perfect although I am told they no longer have it. The Burger and the shortrib are also excellent. As for wine, they don't have a good selection. The wine list is small and has mostly Argentienan and Spanish wines. At least the prices are ok since the wines themselves don't retail for much. I usually get the Marques de Caceres for some $58... it retails for about half of that.
(3)Allie G.
Amazing service, fit a large bachelorette party and truly care that you enjoy your experience. Zucchini pasta was awesome, the bar and outside seating out back looked really nice even though we ate at a large table inside. It's definitely hard to find if you don't know it's in The Mark building and it's a little off the beaten path but we really enjoyed our dinner!
(4)Marianita P.
Best view for dinner at night. Very busy restaurant definitely recommend making a reservation but arrive promptly as the outside sitting is on a first come first serve basis. Appetizers are included on the price of your entrée which is a great thing when you what a different appetizer than you company. I went for the quinoa salad, it was delicious, as an entrée I highly recommend the "I can't believe it's not pasta" very fresh!
(4)Mario M.
Delicious food! Great view! Great prices! The bar is cozy as the music! Gigi the waitress was great as well! One word: great!!!
(4)Brenda P.
I love this place, it has a very nice atmosphere, it can be very romantic with Miami bay view. The decor is very fancy. The staff is very attentive. The food is good and they have a good varied menu. I recommended this place for a date.
(5)Priya M.
What a great location in Brickell for this posh restaurant with an outstanding view. I would give the place 5 stars on view alone. I love the inside decor especially the champagne and wine display near the bar. Love me some wine and champagne! Before being seated we relaxed at the bar where they has happy hour and $1 champagne flutes!! Um sold! The weather was beautiful so we asked to be seated outside. The view was breathtaking. The blue water and some visible skyscrapers in Miami. Their menu had both my hubby and I excited. Every entree includes an appetizer starting at $17.99. I chose to get the classic wedge salad with blue cheese and gnocchi topped with marinated mushrooms. The salad was refreshing and you could tell they make their gnocchi fresh! The gnocchi melted in my mouth. It was delish and fulfilling. My husband ordered the chihuahua cheese casserole with pesto and a hint of chorizo. He was a little disappointed as it was just melted cheese over this red sauce. We could have probably made this better at home. For his entree he had the braised steak brasao which consisted of mushrooms and Marsala wine reduction atop a creamy garbanzo stew (different and yummy) topped with a fried egg. He nor I cared much for the fried egg but the presentation was good. Overall it resembled a pot stew. He contemplated getting the ribs as another friend got and it was amazing! He will definitely try something different when we come back. Our friend also got the calamari al pepperoncini flatbread which was like a fancy pizza topped with calamari and this yummy sauce. So I'm teetering on 3-4 stars as everything I had was great but my husband didn't share the exact same sentiments. Overall loved the name and the experience.
(4)Luisa O.
Great view, very expensive and with lots of retrictions: "no sharing", "must order a meal" . Portions were huge but the food wasn't anything special. My tacos came with cold tortillas. Our waitress was great, let us change tables after the hostess had sat us in a corner table, with limited view, even though there were only 2 other tables occupied.
(2)Andrea B.
Love this place! The view is incredible and the food is amazing! I always get the spinach quinoa salad and the zucchini spaghetti carbonara! Parking is pricey but totally worth paying since this place is delicious!!
(5)Rosa R.
I went to "Crazy about you" for a friends birthday of about 10 people. The scenery outside was amazing; I was in awe for a week at how nice this place was and I had never heard about it. We went on a Wednesday, and it was ladies night. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the employees. Although some were extremely professional, others were not helpful. They accommodate smaller parties way better than bigger parties.
(4)Michael S.
So lets start with the biggest thing that got me. They brought us a bottle of their house merlot that was chilled. Maybe this is a new practice that I have never heard of, but I usually drink reds at room temperature. For my main course, I ordered the Gnocchi with Salsa de Aji Amarillo and Shrimp. My assumption was that the gnocchi would be served in some kind of flavorful Peruvian sauce. But instead it was a bland cheesy sauce (which was a little too rich for my liking). I had the Mexican Caprese Salad as my appetizer. It was fine, but nothing to get overly excited about.
(2)Josefina G.
Excellent ambiance, view and service. This place will never disappoint. Very reasonably priced.
(3)Bud D.
This restaurant is in the heart of the business downtown, Miami. It is not a location that typical tourists would go but we had a local friend to introduce us here. The food is always good, the atmosphere delightful, the staff friendly, and the location divine. If you go there, reserve a seat on the terrace especially the lower terrace that is closer to the bay. You would literally be sitting on the bay overlooking the bridge to Key Biscayne on the right and the city towers and lights on left. There is no car traffic so you can enjoy the peace and the soft music. They have set menus that give you choices of appetizers and main courses ranging from $20 for both to $32 if you choose tenderloin steak. For this part of this city, the restaurant is a great value. I think it is a great value regardless. We were there for four nights and we spent two nights eating here. From the appetizers you have to try the lentil soup. Awesome! The Spinach and Quinoa salad is also fantastic. I recommend it for a date and you will get lucky. My wife loved it too!
(4)Peter Q.
Quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in Brickell. sit outside on the deck it's beautiful. the croquettes are excellent and so is the salad with strawberries. everything I've had there's been good so far. I don't think that a bad thing on the menu. great place to go for lunch.
(5)Yolene L.
Great ambiance, great service and great food! The staff is awesome and I loved that the manager came to deliver our check because it was our first time! The message in a bottle dessert was so delicious and creative... the brownie was extra fudgy! I would totally recommend this place to my friends :)
(5)Lari B.
Great atmosphere! I recommend eating outside. Service was very good and wine reasonably priced. The zucchini pasta with carbonara sauce was delicious and churros were quite tasty as well. I will return when back in Miami.
(4)Lisbeth M.
I have been dying to attend this restaurant for months now. I finally got my boyfriend to go and WE could've not been more amazed of the great quality this restaurant attended us with. We had an awful interaction, coming from the building. The residents that lived on top of Crazy About You decided to throw a can of beer. The beer landed on two tables including mine, splashing everyone clothing and shoes. The manager was aware and came over to apologize and offer any additional service at no charge. At the end of the night, the manager was kind enough to give us a 50% off our dinner. We could have been more pleased of this restaurant. Definitely will be back again! LOVED IT!!!!
(5)Nesha S.
The flat bread is amazing!

I loved the atmosphere and the food was AWESOME
(4)Rosa M.
Excellent food and great ambiance , I had an spectacular brunch overlooking the sea, I had Mimosas and a new dish (Chicken & Waffles) I just love it! the chicken was crispy but juicy , the waffles delicious!! I recommend this dish 100%, my friend had the "Huevos Rotos" eggs with mushrooms and potatoes, so good. I just love this restaurant , the personnel is kind and beautiful. If you ask for the Chef ( Tony) he will go to your table and greet you and give you excellent recommendations , Perfect !!! :)
(5)Laina S.
Went the other night for my birthday. We were seated right away... outside facing a beautiful view of the bay and city. We started off with a bottle of their house Merlot which was delicious and only $15! Each entree *includes* an appetizer! I got the short ribs and a strawberry spinach salad, my boyfriend got the seared ahi tuna and a calamari flatbread. Everything was cooked to perfection, with surprisingly large portions. Afterwards, the waitress surprised me with a very nice raspberry cheesecake for my birthday! So sweet, a wonderful experience. Highly recommended! Sit outside if it's nice weather, you wont want to miss that view!
(5)Ana C.
This place is a must try! The view is stunning , our service was great , & the food was pretty good ... We had the calamari flatbread & Chihuahua cheese for appetizer & liked Both .. For the entree I had the risotto & although a bit salty, still very creamy and delicious .. My fiancé ordered the pizza and no complaints ... Our favorite part was the "message in a bottle" dessert ..It was pretty fun to put together :)
(5)Giuseppe M.
I had dinner here the other night with a friend and we both really enjoyed. Great the menu format. The atmosphere and view at this place is nice and perfect food.
(4)Michelle F.
If I could rate this place just for the view alone, it would be a 5! Although it was well hidden location wise, being at the Mark hotel, Crazy About You offers a nice secluded spot with a very "Miami" vibe. As an artist, the interior design and details is always something I pay close attention to. This restaurant clashes in its style, and made me wonder what type of fusion food combination it really was (still wondering..). Immediately walking in, I was confused. Is the first room supposed to have a sophisticated sportsman vibe? The blown up images of Marilyn and Elizabeth Taylor in front of the exposed winery added to the chaos. Definitely not my choice of style. However, the main room was lovely: classic white furniture with silver accents and long tables. Entering the patio, was even more refreshing, with the repeated classic white touch, candlelight, and a spectacular skyline. Now for the menu. It seems like everyone enjoyed their meal, but it was slim pickings for vegetarians and vegans! What a bummer. The reason I rate it at 4 instead of 3 is the supreme service we received from our waiter. Wow, if only more could learn from him! He went out of the way to accommodate my party, as well as creating a specialized vegan version of a meal for myself and a friend. He was very knowledgeable of the cocktail menu as well. To go even further, he brought out a dessert for my Birthday, free on the house!! How can I not give it a good rating?
(4)Emma F.
You get a nice view , nice setting and economical . What more do you want lol it's a nice experience . I love the message in the bottle dessert :)

When it comes to try something nice and different this is the place to go. Beautiful view great service and good food. Very original concept. Not overpriced at all. Dessert are very delicious served in a super romantic way!
(4)Romi C.
NO NO NO! i ordered some type of braised beef in a sauce- the combo was lethal. Fat on fat on fat- with a tinge of A1 sauce taste to finish slapping you in the face. all served on some cutesey cast iron pot. it was downright offensive, i wish i knew this place was from the same deviants that made Dolores happen. The carbonara was equally disdainful and made with some sort of thing that wasn't pancetta or bacon. noooooooo the salads were large and possibly the best of everything i managed to ingest. Pretty terrible. Pretty decor, perfect place for a gold diggin' floozy to meet the closeted slicked back hair grease ball of her dreams with all the cheap food and inexpensive drinks. Brickellodeon watering hole.
(1)Mathieu H.
You need to go there if you are looking for a great view, book a table on the terrace and you will love it. The food is good but nothing extraordinary (it fits their prices that are relatively cheap).

I decided to try this place after loving 'Love is Blind'. We were celebrating my birthday so my husband made the reservations for 6 two weeks before. He asked for a table outside and we were told outside was first come first served. We arrived 30 minutes to get our table and have a drink while we waited. 3 of us arrived to check in and we were told "sorry we can't seat you until half of your party arrives" um hello there's 6 in total half of that is 3? Anyways, we had a drink and waited. We were sitting at the bar area right next to check in so we could hear what was being said. A couple walked in also waiting on the remainder of their party (6 people) but she sat them outside at the last table 2/6 people. My husband asked her and she said "oh sorry". This put a damper on the night having made the reservation in advance and them knowing it was a special birthday. The rest of our party showed up and we were seated. I loved the decor, the ambience and the food was great. It's a good price and the wine is cheap! Overall the food was good along with our server but the hostess was rude! I might try this place again!

Been here a few times. Love eating outside, by the bar, wherever. Great overall ambiance! Love the croquetas, flatbreads, chicken and arugula, beans. It all goes well with an inexpensive house bottle of wine! Love coming here for anniv, bdays, dates! Very sexy, sultry, sweet enviroment. Great happy hour deals, and decorations.

Great ambiance, great location. Food was good. Hummus had whole chickpeas in it this was really good the pitas that came with it were a little tough. the Calamari flatbread and chihuahua cheese appetizer were really good. Pork ossobucco was delicious the from Peru with love was like a heavy Mac and cheese. For dersert we had their play on tiramisu it was a cold coffee mousse with warm coffee and lady fingers on the bottom very very yummy.

Interesting location near the hot spots. Somewhat difficult to get to, with virtually no choice but the $10 valet for parking, which is a problem in most of the Brickell area. The views from the patio are good, but only if you are walking around, not while seated at a dinner table. Food was average+, just O.K. for the total price. Appetizers, included in the price of the meal were the most interesting course. I ordered a martini "up" and they did not know what i meant. They served me a shot in a cocktail glass! Good wine list.

I celebrated my birthday with my daughters at Crazy About You. I first went there because I usually go at lunch time and not only is the place very pretty but the food never disappoints. I started with the Cod Croquettes, which was a specialty of the house, they were delicious. My daughters had the Caprese Burrata salad and the Huevos Rotos, they each kept on raving about their respective appetizer. For the main course I had the Chilean Sea Bass, needless to say it was the best I've had in a very long time. They ordered the Filet Mignon, which was not only cooked to perfection, very important for my 2 meat eaters, but it was delicious! Being huge on client service, I can almost forgive a not so good meal if the service is good. I cannot say enough about our waiter, Juan Andres Vazquez, who was by far one of the best waiters I've had in a very long time. Thank you for making my birthday a pleasant experience.

I had been dying to go to this restaurant for like 2 months and my boyfriend took me for my birthday! It was awesome! He made the reservation for 10:30 and when we got there we were seated right away. We even sat outside by the ocean it was beautiful! The food was amazing! He had the Calamari Flatbread and i had the skillet as an appetizer and as an entree we both had the salmon pasta which was amazing! It looks small but once you start eating it fills you up quick! As a dessert we had the message in a bottle which i found adorable. They give you all the ingredients to make your own sundae on a big plate and then at the end they give you a paper and a big bottle to make up a quote and at the end of the month they do a raffle and who ever wins with the best quote gets to go again for free! I am looking forward to going again! I completely loved it!!!!

I'll make this short and sweet: Time = 11:40am Service = no waiting, complete beck and call (but also was not a busy time of day). Complimentary hummus = very flavorful and asked for more. Appetizers: - Caesar salad = fresh, incredible cheese - calamari flatbread = very good (might want to brush off some peppers) Entrees: - Kobe bites = great! The fries are very good and difficult to stop eating. - salmon pasta forchillini = whoa (couldn't put the fork down). Overall = loved it. Wish we could have had more. Will definitely return again.

Last night was the first time we have ever been and without a doubt we reccomend to everyone and will come back again if ever in miami again. Unfortunately it was raining so we couldn't go outside but the inside was lovely. As soon as you walk in you see a big glass wall hiding all the wines and to your left a bar area and its all in this very nice chill lounge area. We got seated very quickly and were surprised by the prices. As we are in Miami we thought the prices would be crazy high. But the entrees are priced in levels basically. From 17.99, 21.99, 24.99 and then 32.99 and all include an appetizer. I did the kobe beef sliders with an app of the ham croquettes which all around it was just all done right. I'm a big guy so the 2 sliders and croquettes didn't leave me stuffed but I definitely didn't leave hungry. She had the gnocchi pasta and a salad that I can't remember what it was but she loved it. We shared our meal with a bottle of house win which was only $15 so that's what I recommend as well to everyone, that's basically a free bottle of wine. But anyways we ended our meal with the american churros, two churros bent with ice cream and chocolate sauce was really good! And all of this was only $70. Anyways that's my review I hope yall like it and get to check out Crazy About You!!

Quick lunch downtown on Brickell Bay. I had no idea this restaurant was around and was a bit hard to find. Amazing view on the water, the restaurant inside is nice, clean with a great wine cellar shelf. Double terrace once you get outside so there are plenty of tables. We sat outside so enjoy the breeze and weather. Some pita bread with red pepper hummus was brought to our table. Then for lunch you have to pick between 3 menu combos appetizer + entree ($17, $20, $24). Each menu can be made with a smaller portion for the entree at a cheaper price ($14, $17, $21) I picked the menu at $17 with regular entree portion. I had the serrano ham croquettes for an appetizer and then the zucchini pasta bolognese. The croquettes were good (6 of them) but the bechamel and ham became a bit overwhelming and heavy. They were however nicely fried and not greasy at all. The zucchini bolognese were interesting. Good with LOTS of bolognese sauce (ground beef, onions and tomato sauce) and LOTS of melting cheese. You have to be ready for the amount of sauce and cheese!! All of that topped with melted parmesan! The zucchini were well cooked and thick so it really looked like fettuccine. It was nice. My friend got the croquettes as well and the sweet and spicy petit pork osso bucco. He gets this dish each time he goes there so I know it is good! No dessert, it was very filling! Great spot with a nice view. Service is nice but a bit hesitating...

Perfect setting for date night. Was nice to sit outside next to the water and under the moon. Service was very attentive and friendly. The appetizers and entres were delicious and prepared perfectly. Too bad we didn't have room for dessert. Great value for the portion size!

The view is great. Service is so so. But the food is amazing! Always yummy and fresh! Unfortunately every time I go there I noticed and try to avoid this one area where the tables are usually packed by flies! Come on people? That's nasty!

Went in on Saturday around 1pm for brunch. Sat down right away outside (as requested) on the patio. The food was delicious!! The caprese salad and chicken & waffles were well worth the price. And who can go wrong with $4 mimosas?!?! The decor inside was very cute as well. I will definitely recommend this place and will go back myself.

Pretty good brunch, not too much variety, but nice enviroment. Note: for a good restaurant, they need to welcome customers, no one said at least, Hello........ Just the hostess! Very nice and pleasent to be outside, with the sea breeze.

Service was awesome, atmosphere was great and the food was pretty good. Not sure if it justifies the price since portions are relatively small, but the overall experience was good.

This place is Great!! Great view, great food, great prices!! This is something different for Brickell, each entree comes with an appetizer. The prices for the combo range from $18-25. But best of all, there are bottles of wine that are $14. And it's decent. The service is great too! They really take pride in their place and their food. The only downside is that you can't just have drinks on the terrace... you have to order a dinner. Try the short rib and chiguagua gueso!

I work across the street from Crazy About You, and I take clients here when I need a restaurant that has seemingly sophisticated food and an intimate atmosphere. On my most recent visit, I was happy to see that CAY has somewhat figured out what it does well. The first time I ate at CAY, I ordered the tortilla, which was of interest to me because I lived in Spain for some years and hardly ever encounter real tortilla española in the US. Well, despite asking the waiter if the tortilla was authentic, I was served some crap they tried to pass off as tortilla. Wonderfully, this last visit, the tortilla was removed from the appetizers, which suggests that the owner began to think about the menu. Happy that the menu was rethought, I ordered the Mexican Caprese Salad, which probably would have been better without the guacamole enhancement, but was still excellent because of its primary ingredients. As my second course, I ordered the steak in a mushroom sauce, which was probably one of the best dishes I have eaten at CAY. The steak was tender and the sauce balanced, which created a good dish. Overall, do not expect wonderful food and know that the second course will be better than the first.

Came here to celebrate a birthday. We were seated immediately and were handed a menu. The ambience was excellent, the menu had good options at reasonable prices for the type and look of the restaurant. The chihuahua appetizer is very tasty along with the calamari flatbread. For the main entree I ordered a Rigatoni alla Carbonara which was very good. Overall no complaints!

I took my now, girlfriend, to dinner to ask her to be my girlfriend. Neither of us had ever been here and had always wanted to go, so I knew it would be special. I requested outside seating for my reservation. We were seated and when the waiter came to our table I ordered a bottle of Votre Santé Pinot Noir, excellent wine! I also whispered to the waiter if it would be possible to write "Will you be my girlfriend?" on the dessert plate upon ordering, he said that he would go ahead and take care of that for me. We had the Mediterranean Antipasto and the Serrano Ham Croquettes to start, both exquisite. I ordered the Zucchini Pasta Carbonara and she ordered the Braised Steak Brasatto both were amazing. I asked for the dessert menu and out came our waiter with the dessert and plate that said exactly what I wanted it to say! Needless to say, she said YES! It was the BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! We will definitely be going back again.
