Review: My family and I could not believe that
our hotel told us that this was the best seafood restaurant on Ocean
Drive! I think my husband put it best when he said that he felt violated
by the prices, the waiter and the overall experience. I think our hotel
should be more selective about sending guests to this place. |

Review: Anyone who knows anything about food
would agree when I say this place is a joke. Our hotel concierge sold us
this place and made it to be the best seafood restaurant on the beach.
Either this guy was being paid or he does not get out much, what a joke!
If it was 1990 I might have been alright with the food, but its not and
I wasnt. Service was just as bad. The server wanted nothing but to milk
us for every dime and when he realized that we did not bite, he left us
to suffer the remainder of the night. I have one tip for Quinns, buy a
current cook book and get with the program, its 2010. As for our waiter,
sorry amigo, we arent cheap, we are just not idiots. |

Review: Good
food, Sea Bass tasted great. Lobster Bisque was just ok. The Crab claw
look good, but we didn't order it. The crab crust on my Mahi-Mahi was
bad, but the fish was very good. I probably should have mentioned it,
I'm sure they would have taken care of it. I ordered a sprite and my
brother ordered an Amaretto and Coke. His was 9 dollars and my sprite
was like 5 dollars with no refills. That seems crazy. Thankfully, I
asked the refill question before I ordered one. |

Review: Quinns
is truly the best dining experience by far that we had during our visit
to Miami beach. The server, Paul, was outstanding. The food was as
good as it gets, as was the entire experience. I would highly recommend
Quinn's. |

Review: We
loved the location and the setting of the restaurant. Food was fine. Our
server was rude and very distant with us, not the case for the large and
very loud table next to us. His dirty jokes became very offensive to my
fianc?and his lack of interest and service to our table really ruined
what could have been a wonderful night in south beach. |

Review: OUR
HOTEL CONCIERGE RECOMMENDED QUINN'S FOR DINNER ON OUR LAST NIGHT IN
MIAMI. I HAVE TO BE HONEST AND SAY THAT WE HAD SPENT A WEEK IN SOUTH
BEACH AND REALLY DID NOT THINK MUCH OF THE RESTAURANTS THAT WE HAD
VISITED, NOT TO MENTION THE SERVICE OR LACK THERE OF THAT SEEMS TO
PLAGUE THE ENTIRE CITY.
QUINN'S REALLY PROVED TO BE THE BEST
DINNER WE HAD DURING OUR STAY. THE FOOD WAS GREAT! STRAIGHT FORWARD AND
NOT COMPLICATED. A REFRESHING CHANGE FROM ALL THE OTHER PLACES WHICH
SEEM TO CRAM AS MANY INGREDIENTS AS POSSIBLE ON YOUR PLATE SO THEY CAN
CHARGE YOU A HEFTY PRICE. THE FOOD AT QUINN'S WAS PERFECT. THE SERVICE
WAS BEYOND AMAZING. OUR SERVER WAS FRIENDLY AND WAS SO EXCITED TO TELL
US ABOUT ALL THE GREAT DISHES THAT HE WANTED US TO TRY THAT IT MADE IT
HARD TO NOT WANT TO ORDER HALF THE MENU!
I CANT REMEMBER HIS NAME BUT I DO
REMEMBER HE HAD GLASSES AND WAS CUBAN. HE WAS INCREDIBLE AND MY HUSBAND
AND I COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING OVER HIS STORIES ABOUT HIS COLORFUL CUBAN
FAMILY AND TRADITIONS. THANK YOU QUINN'S AND OUR WONDERFUL SERVER FOR AN
UNFORGETTABLE LAST NIGHT IN MIAMI!!! |

Review: I
had the most amazing salad I have ever tasted in my life (the Exotic
Mixed Greens Salad) and it had the most tasty lemon-vinaigrette
dressings. The Crab Leg Combo was also satisfying in taste and size. I
could only get a few bites of the delicious chocolate cake, but those
bites were heaven! |

Review: Every
time that I am in South Beach I make a point of dining at Quinn's. I
have visited Quinn's since Gerry opened at the Park Central. The BamBam
Shrimp are a must! |
