Located on a busy canal, this restaurant is visually gorgeous. Unfortunately, that is the best part of our visit. The server was a nice lady but not very efficient. She would take our order for cocktains and immeditely left, not waiting to hear the order for sodas and appetizers. 15 minutes later, she was back, the drinks were delivered by bar staff. We ordered oysters and fries for appetizers. Fries areived cold and the oysters were so skinny that I wondered if they had fallen out of the shell. The bits of shell in each one did not add to the flavor. For main course, I made the mistake of ordering a small steak. My order came out 25 minutes after my companions received their chicken kabobs. While theirs were dry like cotton balls, my steak arrived stone cold. Our waitress never bothered to check on the order with the kitchen. The manager came over and seemed genuinely concerned. He offered to remake the steak - on the house. My friends convinced me to accept, since I've only had two anemic oysters that day. The steak, about 6oz, arrived 15 minutes later, Raw. I do not mean rare, I mean it had a few grill lines but the rest was raw. The waitress came iver with the bill and we notices a mandetory "service charge" of 22%. They calculated the 22% charge from the full amount, not the net bill after deductions. This time, the manager did not come over. The waitress made the corrections - this seems shady to me. The ONLY reason to go here is the nice interior, adorned in flowers. The canal seems like a nice thing but on our visit, the diesel exhaust smell from some of the boats docked near by was very strong.
Be the first to ReplyGreat potential, failure to deliver the goods
Have visited before. Great location, watching boats go up and down the river. Nice ambiance but absolutely terrible service and very average food. Also hellishly expensive. $245++ for a bottle of non vintage Veuve Cliquot. Took over an hour to get our Entree cleared. People arrived and left in that time. Utterly chaotic. The security staff are dreadful narcissists - entirely graceless. The bar staff are completely useless at making cocktails. I have never seen so little energy put into shaking the drink. Nice enough people but they were obviously there for the aesthetic rather than to provide credible bar service. Lunchtime is better but in the evening it is just a cattle market for identikit women. Overall the place has great potential but we were bitterly disappointed.

we waited an hour to be seated , the hostess was rude, the food was disgusting we visited many places in miami everywhere had perfect service and food, no organization!
Be the first to ReplyGreek overpriced, but nice view and ambient
Food is greek! So you know what we are talking about. They have a lot of waiters, but they do not know what to do! They escort you at the table in a unique way! The view is amazing!!! Of course unfortunately Miami prices Overpriced 3 times on what it should have been
Be the first to ReplyGreat service
I donāt know why people are saying they are racist. I took my girlfriend for her birthday on a Saturday at 10pm. We got there 15 minutes early and we were in our seat by 10pm. The service was phenomenal and came back regularly to check on us. His name was Sergio. Even the other waiters checked on us as well. Itās very loud so you will have to yell to talk but other than that I have to complaints. I ordered the lamb chops and there were tender and good. But you will be spending some money if order drinks and food. So bring the bank lol.
Be the first to ReplyHorrible service. Horrible.
Bad service, so bad, it overtakes good food. Sadly the service was so bad, waiting 15-20 minutes for a drink or a visit from a server, any chance for a good time was lost
Be the first to ReplyKIKI ON THE RIVER IS MISOGYNISTIC
My recent attempt to dine at Kiki on the River was spoiled by a shockingly discriminatory policy that prohibits entry for women not wearing heels. This outdated dress code is not only absurd in 2023 but also perpetuates sexist stereotypes, reducing a woman's worth to her choice of footwear. Feeling humiliated and offended, I strongly condemn such misogynistic practices. In an era that champions equality and inclusivity, it's disheartening to encounter establishments that prioritize archaic gender norms over treating customers with respect. Kiki on the River should reassess its policies to align with contemporary values, fostering an environment where all individuals are welcomed without judgment based on irrelevant criteria. Never go to this restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyOver rated!! Avoid
Massively over rated! Very expensive for very average food and drinks. Donāt expect to be treated with courtesy . Couldnāt wait to leave.
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely terrible. Please read review. General assistant manager racist/ Homophobia.
Good evening Xandra, I am writing to you regarding the horrific and horrendous experience my wife and I have experienced tonight. She was a victim of misogyny. I am hoping you will be able to explain that your restaurant does not value or enforce misogyny, sexist stereotypes and discrimination against disability. Please resolve this issue and ensure that no customer will ever experience what we did tonight. I had booked this dinner especially for my wifeās birthday and we have just arrived from London tonight. We arrived at 7:30pm for our reservation, in which we were greeted upon in such a cold, rude manner. Front of house (security) on the door did not even greet us or ask for the name of the reservation. He stared at the both of us in such a cold and unwelcoming manner. My wife, who in which suffers from social anxiety, began to give the name and time for the reservation as he had no interest in interacting with us. He then wrongly accused me of being dressed in sportswear. Both of us were shocked, absolutely taken back at this false and incorrect accusation. I was wearing a Burberry satin two piece SS23. This was absolutely not sportswear and Burberry do not even have a Sports collection. Burberry is a classic, British brand which boats its monogram prints which is worn by many respectable icons in fashion. It is not a casual brand for clothing, the fits and styles are elegant. I would never dream of wearing sportswear to any reputable restaurant, never mind at my wifeās birthday meal. This accusation is totally incorrect and insulting. Furthermore, my wife politely explained that his judgement was incorrect, regardless of this being embarrassingly wrong. He further pointed out my footwear, a thong sandal flip flop, I accept this is not ideal but please understand that I had come straight from a long haul flight. I had no issue in changing my footwear and I made this vocal. My wife is a well established personal stylist at Harrods, her reputation is profound and has been for over 10 years. She takes immense pride in her expertise of fashion. We dine regularly at restaurants such as Zuma, Hakkasan and Novikov in London which there is also in Miami, we have never experienced anything of the sort before. I can assure you, we are more than aware of the etiquette and decorum required. As my wife was speaking to your security, male customers entered the restaurant in casual shorts. This was rather contradictory and furthermore insulting to myself, as I am beginning to wonder if this is a personal attack. She then asked security for the restaurant manager in which Gianmaria arrived to assist us further. He agreed that my outfit was not sportswear, but asked that I should go and change my footwear in which our reservation would be held for us and in his own words ā I will hold your reservation and you can enjoy your birthday mealā. We agreed to this and travelled back to South beach in which I returned in a leather boat shoe. We returned back from South beach in which I had changed my footwear, as per agreed with Gianmaria. My wife upon arrival asked the security for Gianmaria. This was another security guard, tall, Eastern European who was not the previous member of staff we had spoken to. He aggressively interrupted her speaking and told her that Gianmaria is not coming. She distraughtly questioned why, as it was agreed that he would seat us to our table if I was compliant with the footwear as agreed. At this point she was visibly upset and hysterically crying as she suffers from social anxiety. The security guard was laughing in my wifeās face and kept repeating ā Youāre not coming in, itās beautiful ā and ā Enjoy your birthday ā. Gianmaria has a professional and moral obligation and responsibility to deal with any issues in your restaurant. Furthermore, it is appalling that he told us to ask for him directly when we return to the restaurant with my changed footwear. It is apparent that he had told the security to refuse us entry. Instead he was hiding in the restaurant and denying his professional responsibility. Your assistant general manager did not keep his word. It was agreed I just needed to change my footwear then my wife could enjoy her birthday celebrations. I asked the security staff again to speak to Gianmaria in which he responded ā You arenāt coming in ā and aggressively threatened me asking for fight. He told me to ā return at 1am for a very different outcome when Iām not workingā. This member of staff was the tall, Eastern European security staff. This is totally horrifying. My wife was wearing Valentino Garavani rockstud gladiator leather sandal. The security guard then pointed at her shoes and abruptly asked why she was not wearing high heels. The expectancy of women to wear high heels is misogynistic and sexist. My wife choosing not to wear heels due to her own personal suffering of osteoarthritis in her left foot is not something that should be ever questioned by your staff. It is totally unethical and morally unacceptable. My wife broke down in tears and was very distressed pointing out the fact she suffers from osteoarthritis. She is very insecure of this, due to the fact it is rare in young women and is more common in older age. I am disgusted that she felt the need to explain this when it is such a sensitive matter. She is a victim of misogyny from your security staff. I am happy to attach images of the items of clothing worn by wife and myself including footwear if it can assist you. I have also read on Google, a recent review from Scarlet Ava, a fortnight ago also stating that she was a victim of sexist standards due to not also wearing high heels. Your respond to this ā Our intention is always to provide a pleasant and respectful environment for our guests. We value our staff and hold them to high standards of professionalism and courtesyā. This seems to be a recurring theme of misogyny and sexist standards which are aggressively enforced by your staff. I am absolutely disgusted by this. Morally, ethically and professionally.
Be the first to ReplyDisappointing Experience
The welcome was quite undercooled as the doorman was checking our outfits very obvoius and we all were dressed up except I was wearing cool Birkenstock which was an issue for him. He pointed on my shoes and asked his manager if it was ok to leave me in. She said yes of course. We had a lunch reservation at 2.00 and the restaurant was quite empty. A big table with chic ladies celebrating bridesmaid lunch and some smaller tables were occupied. Our waiter was very smug and more interested in checking his phone than offering an outstanding experience. He did his job - that was all. The food was ok - good but over priced. We had starters and main and were not asked if we would like to have coffee or dessert and we've decided by that time not asking for it. The aircondition was a joke. I was a beautiful sunny day with a nice warm wind but the aircon and fans in the restaurant were at full speed and it was freezing. Overall a big disappointment and we will not recommend this restaurant to friends and family.
Be the first to ReplyVery vibrant placeā¦
Very vibrant restaurant with really nice food menu. We waited at the bar and the bar ladies were on it and made a couple of negronis for us. Food was overall good- I had the lobster pasta. Music was a tad loud but overall an enjoyable experience!
Be the first to ReplyRude hostess
We had a total of 18 of us go to kiki on Feb 9th 2023. Overall, the staff were rude. The hostess wouldnāt seat us for awhile. We were waiting in the front of the restaurant. When I went up to ask, she said itāll be a minute - but with attitude. It wasnāt a minute. They didnāt even acknowledge us. Just overall extremely rude. Our server was nice but the main people in the front and the hostess were incredibly rude. We all got in because we were dressed up but I can definitely see how this place would ākickā out certain people and say itās because they didnāt follow the dress code or whatever. I felt that this place was very selective on who they let in. Although they have a strict dress code on their website, there were definitely people inside that did not follow the dress code but they got in. Itās definitely selective! The food was mediocre, the drinks were good but extremely overpriced. The ambiance was great overall! Decent place but would be even better with nicer staff. Staff need to remember that we are customers and they shouldnāt forget about customer service.

We arrived and they told us we need to change our shoes š but there were people with white gym shoes they allowed inside with white gym shoes and casual clothes when we had on dresses. Iām disgusted and wonāt ever return to such an establishment. The only difference was the color of our skin. Black patrons donāt matter.

Be the first to ReplyMiami rip-off
Kikis is neither a Greek, Mediterranian nor $$ rated restaurant. Our first choice of wine, Greek, could not be found. We settled for a French substitute. We had 12 oysters and the rack of lamb each, resulting in a bill of $443 Dollars for two people, including 21% service charge. The staff spent more time having a laugh together by the bar than attending to their customers. The manager admitted that he had no control over the staff, having "brought this up in meetings". He would not reduce the service charge. It may be "fashionable" but it's not my idea of a good restaurant.

Be the first to ReplyWorst customer service!!
My Husband & I are visiting Miami and we just experienced the worse customer service from the manager āDerrick Fungā from āKiki on the River Restaurantā located at 450 NW North River Drive , Miami, FL, 33126. This unfortunate experienced forced us to write this bad review. My husband have been in sales & customer service industry for over 15 years and We have been in many restaurants all around the world because of his business and this is the first time We are putting a bad review for any restaurant . This should tell you how bad of an experienced We went through tonight. The short story is My husband order a chicken dish and they brought him a Pork Dish. He didnāt realize it at the beginning so He ate a piece and He also asked me to eat a piece to confirm this is not chicken. Then we informed our server to change the dish and bring him the chicken dish which He ordered at the beginning. We saw āDerrickā the manager came to our table with the same pork dish in his hand mentioning They canāt change the dish because We already ate some of the pork and We must pay for it. No matter how many times We asked him to call our server to confirm he made a mistake putting the wrong order but the server never came back to our table . Derrick never listen to what We are trying to share with him the whole time and all he cared that We must pay for that dish. We told him itās not fair to charge us for a dish We never ordered. He left and came back with his security Guard and the Bill with the rest of the orders we had, to make sure we pay for that dish. We donāt mind paying for great dish and customer service. As the matter of fact We put at least 30% Tips anywhere We go. seeing a manager handling a situation like this was something We never experienced before. He could handle the situation way better to make sure everyone is happy no matter if he was right or us, but unfortunately he was so laser focus on winning his battle that he forget he is customer service business. The way āKiki on the River restaurant managerā handle the challenge gave us the worse experience we had in all restaurants we have ever been.

We pulled up in our super car. When we arrived they turned us both down, because we had flips on. And decent casual clothes on. The day after, we made a reservation and when we came in looking all dress up for them, we literally saw so many people wearing sneakers and flip flops and we here thinking really? They turned us down and not them? Seriously? They didnāt even park our car in the front. They parked it in the back. We had a really nice car. The food was good, but we felt like we paid way more then what we had ordered.

Girls night out so we stopped by to see how the vibe was here. It was ok, good music, nice crowd, good view of Miami River. We stopped by just for the drinks. It's also known for IG photo opportunities and meeting influencers. We did take a lot of pics. Parking was relatively easy. It's always a hot spot to be at.

The vibe is very cool, amazing range of cocktails which has excellent showmanship. I like the island style theme.
Be the first to ReplyPretentious Joint, clearly not welcoming
Agree with previous review that Iād have rather given this place a 0. What a pretentious joint! From the moment we were valet parking our car ($25) to the security guard saying the women in our group couldnāt get in because they were wearing āsandalsā. Clearly they were not happy to have our business. Once we got past security they tried to stick 8 of us into a table for 6. We asked for another table and again they gave us one that would have been very tight. Then one of the waiters told one of us to āchillā when we balked at the small table. Iāve never felt less wanted in a restaurant. The place was empty at 8:15pm at night. Given the rudeness of every single employee we encountered we were quite happy to just leave. This is obviously a ācoolā place to hang out and be seen, but when you are clearly not wanted itās best to just leave. Finally the music was playing so loud that you couldnāt have had a conversation even with the person right next to you. I would never recommend a place like this to anyone and only people with more money than common sense would even consider the place.
