Customer Reviews
Congratulations on the Michelin star, well deserved! We went here for dinner during a weekday and it was busy. Recommend reservations. They have valet parking and the restaurant is inside the Museum. Lovely ambience and great service, the servers and the chefs make sure that you experience is pleasant. We tried their autumn menu and the options were plenty. Loved their ravioli, pasta and scallops. All the dishes were cooked to perfection and we could feel the premium quality of the ingredients. Definitely going back to try their other menu.
We visited Le Jardinier shortly after it earned its Michelin star and loved every bit of the experience. Every dish was amazing, but the Burrata, simple as it sounds, was my favorite—the flavors came together perfectly. The service was excellent, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the location inside the Museum of Fine Arts made it feel extra special. Even the complimentary bread was incredible! Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu—it’s all fantastic. If I could do it all over again, I’d stick with the same dishes, though I might try a different dessert next time. Such a great spot for any occasion!
I cannot recommend this restaurant. We went for lunch miami spice. The service & logistics were poor, the food was very very basic and quality is not there at all. I cannot believe this is a michelin star.
Miami Spice at Le Jardinier was superb. For $35, three courses - tomato and burrata salad with a nice tangy dressing, perfectly cooked salmon filet with melt in your mouth orzo and a raspberry take on profiteroles for dessert. Great tastes. Not bad portions. Great deal. Service was perfect - Henderson and the team behind the bar were attentive, friendly and helpful. And it’s a nice, pleasant atmosphere.
