Critic of Barton G’s, Miami Beach, Florida PT Duex

MRC Rating:
1. Location: Rating of 3 (it can be quite a drive if your not staying on Miami Beach)
2. Taste and Quality: Rating of 4 (comparable with most fine dining)
3. Service: Rating of 4 (Waiter was phenomenal!)
4. Price: Rating $$$$ (quite expensive but just about there with other dining establishments)
5. MRC MUST Visit: Rating 4 (New updated look, tourist location, fun and novel)

Ok, I know that my recent review of Barton G's was somewhat negative however I must admit that they recently made some updates to the restaurant that I found refreshing, not to mention that my waiter was phenomenal! Therefore, in all fairness to Raymond, Stephan, the entire Barton G management staff and waiters, I ve decided to do something, I will not do again, update my critic and offer a more lively review of my overall experience at Barton G's.

I decided to give Barton G's another chance this past Saturday and invite my wife, her brother and his wife to dinner. My brother in law had mentioned to me various times that he was interested in dining at Barton G's, however because of my critic he decided not to go. My brother in law is an events coordinator specializing in media and fashion events. He's expressed to me in the past the he was a big admirer of Barton G's work and really wanted to experience the restaurant, therefore I thought it might be worth a try to take him there.

We arrived 30 minutes early on Saturday night and I was pleasantly surprised to hear from our hostess that we could be seated immediately, I thought that was a very nice gesture and it started off the night on the right foot! As I walked in the dining area, I noticed that there was a nice updated vibe to the place, I really couldnt put my finger on what was different but I am guessing it was the flowers and arrangements on the wall and near the bar area.

I've had the pleasure of dinning at some of the most exclusive dining establishments in the world and I am very good at picking up the difference between an experienced waiter and a waiter that doesnt know how to set the mood and offer a great dining experience. On Saturday, we got very lucky and had a great wait staff person attend our table. We were given options, time to order, recommendations, was'nt too forceful on the specials and added just the right bit of humor to our dinning experience.

More to comer later! ( I'am running late)









I just recently went to Barton G's on Saturday
