We dined here on our first night in South Beach. We were headed to another please but The Drexel caught our eye due to its charming and warm appearance. It did not disappoint. We ordered two salads which were so fresh, tasty and light as well as the flat iron chicken and the whole Branzino. I wasn’t a super fan of the chicken as it was on the drier side but my husband liked it. I adored the Branzino, it was well salted and full flavoured.

We ordered asparagus, chicken, and a pizza, and everything was very good. The food was cooked to perfection, with flavors that were both rich and satisfying. The atmosphere at Drexel is incredible. You are surrounded by little shiny lights that build a cozy ambiance, making the dining experience even more special. The interior seamlessly connects to the outside of Spanish Way, adding to the charm and uniqueness of the restaurant. Overall, we had an amazing time and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

We stopped in for happy hour cocktails and snacks and they were excellent. Custom daiquiris and negronis tasted delicious and the food was perfect. Shout out to Alejandro behind the bar too. Great host.

Loved it. As a prior Miami Beach resident and a native. I am someone that has seen the transformation and evolution of Espanola way since 1990. I loved the ambiance eating outdoors on the sidewalk and the food and menu was on point.

They give us table without reservation but with a time frame, fair enough. Food was great. Especially zucchini pizza, so unusual but very, very tasty and refreshing bcs of lemon... Also orange wine with it, great match

This is where upscale meets relaxed and comfortable! We happened to be walking by The Drexel and noticed people enjoying their evening on the patio. It was busy and we managed to find a few seats at the bar. As we had dinner already, we ordered drinks and asked the bar tender what might be good for dessert. He recommended the chocolate souffle. It was the most decadent and delightful dessert! It is plenty for two people to share. Our experience was so rich we decided to reserve a table for dinner the next evening. We hope you enjoy this South Beach treasure!

I've selected this restaurant for our last night in Miami based on the pictures, menu, and vibe. And this was some of the absolute best experiences we ever had. The staff was super friendly and nice, the food was so fresh and perfectly spiced, the presentation was superb. Whatever we ordered, we ate every last bit. The prices are higher than your typical restaurant, but it's well worth it! We felt very welcomed. Thank you for a great experience! It's a must come back place!
