Two Chef’s

I was invited to a corporate event with about 25 members of the management team, we had a private room which was very nice. The service was excellent, the apps were wonderful, had the best salmon, I would not have tried it had it realized it was fried but it was delish, might have saved 10 apples all fried. I preferred to have had something healthy there. I had a grade salad which was great except the frozen green beans that I didn’t care for. I ordered my steak med, it was over cooked and a little hard to cut or chew. Many had the same complaints. I wanted the grilled salmon instead but they couldn’t serve it without the bacon.
The chocolate soufley was perfect!
I actually liked this place, here is the bad news when we came out, one of the Executives had his rental car broken into and they stoked his MacBook from the car. Safe neighborhood? not a good sign!

Great ambiance, food, and service. The soufflé was wonderful, a must have. Nice place for couples dinner.

The best food in Pinecrest! None compare!!! Great food and service. Jan and Oscar are the best Chefs in Miami. Ask for Guillermo as your waiter on weekends and Monday He cannot be beat for kindness and expertise for service. You would be smart if you requested him Juan is a mixologist of the stars if you can’t get a table sit at the bar with Juan You will not be disappointed if you visit Two Chefs!!!

Once again they have outdone themselves. Please try the Twice Fried Korean Chicken Wings appetizer. Spicey but to die for!!! Please visit this restaurant. You will not be disappointed!!!

Soufflé is excellent — didnt appreciate the fingernail in the chocolate syrup nor the hairs in my daughters chicken risottos .
I asked to speak to manager — waiter returned removing the entrée and the dessert — not what I wanted, I would of preferred to speak to manager suggesting to take better hygiene actions .
Will not return —

BTW this is my review in help. From now on I promise I will rave or wag my finger at any restaurant I go! I took some relatives last night to two chefs based on my previous experience. I was beyond disappointed at the service. It is slow and rude. I ordered two tenderloins for my aunts and instead they brought New York’s. Waiter claimed I ordered New York and that regardless they don’t sell tenderloin!!! What was I to do? Wait another hour for a replacement??? Baked onion soup was too spicy. Steaks were drenched also in some awful spicy sauce. The meat quality was good. The chicken I ordered was good and so was my wife’s salmon. It is a shame how bad service can make a good food taste like crap. I assume the owners could care less. The dim lighting is a nice touch. Soufflé they have are delicious!!!

It was ok. Inside is fancy… So, of course the food is pricy. Environment is nice, romantic, dark. Food wise is pretty but taste is alright. Nothing memorable. So I wouldn’t come back. Waiter was not as friendly. The helpers were super nice and very attentive.

This remains a first-​class classic Miami fine eating experience — in the mode of Chef Allen’s, Norman’s, North 110 and many other top restaurants now closed. I had a meatball appetizer that was huge and a meatloaf that was a great mix of flavors. Service was fabulous. Desserts (soufles) were tasty. I was with two serious foodies and they both loved the place. Oh… there’s only one chef these days, but the place still works.

Went twice this year for Miami spice and both times the food was delicious and the dessert outstanding. The service was good and the bartender Juan is very attentive and his cocktails are great, try the lemon-​drop.

I’ve had several lunches at Two Chefs in the past that were very pleasurable. We decided to have dinner with another couple last week. The tuna special was awful. Two of us ordered it and had to send it back because it was not fresh. Very fishy. I was disappointed.

Great food and great service!!! My boyfriend and I went for Miami Spice and the food was delicious! So light, fresh and flavorful! The only negative was that they didn’t have bread for the table because they ran out but made up for it with the most delicious Cesar salad on the house! We will be back!!! Just amazing!!!

We went in for their lunch menu during the Miami Spice. It was a great deal and my Tuna steak was the best I have ever had. I have never been for dinner but I think I would love to go now. The only reason I didn’t give 5 was the service was a little slow for lunch.

We enjoyed the Miami Spice Menu. Added a perfect Wine, and closed with the Perfect Dessert.

5 stars for the soufflé but unfortunately that is really the only thing to come for.
Overall I thought the food was competent but nothing to write home about or that I would crave. While the dim candle lighting makes for a romantic experience, the ambiance otherwise is fairly bland. The service can be downright snail-​like, and mostly, the food just isn’t innovative or interesting enough to warrant the hefty price tag.
The menu may change but really nothing is *that* out there in creativity. The meatballs with blue cheese custard came disturbingly cold inside, and seemed to lack much of the promised custard. However, the pasta was tasty and suffused with a nice smokiness that paired well with the meat and al dente pasta curls. Otherwise the dishes were entirely forgettable.
The best choice is clearly their soufflés. Hands down, if you’re coming to Two Chef’s it needs to happen.

Two Chefs is the best restaurant south of Coral Gables and can compete with the best in Miami.
My family has been going to Two Chefs for as long as I can remember. It is like our kitchen away from home. No matter when I’ve gone, how busy they’ve been, etc. the food has always been consistently excellent. My Unilocal review is long past due.
When you walk in, you’ll often find the owner/​chef Jan standing at the entrance. This basically is the go to restaurant for locals, so he knows the customers who frequent the restaurant.
Straight ahead is the bar and, if you’re lucky, Juan will be the bartender. He’s been there as long as I can remember and many people (like me) choose to sit at the bar for dinner because he provides excellent service and great conversation. Like all great bartenders, he knows when you want privacy and when you want to have a conversation. He gives great recommendations and pours some stiff drinks. An added bonus of sitting at the bar is that you get to see the food coming through the window for bar service.
You’ll notice that to the right there is a door leading to somewhere. That is the private party room, also where the cooking classes are taught. Occasionally that room also is opened for dinner when the restaurant is extremely busy.
When you arrive you’ll be served a half loaf of bread with olive oil to munch on while you peruse the menu.
The menu changes weekly and is always outstanding. There always are Miami Spice menu options and, really, that’s the best thing to choose.
There are some staples that are always on the menu. For instance, the Caesar salad is always on the appetizer menu. The dressing is great and the salad is served in full, fresh romaine leaves. It comes with a large croûton and cheese crisp. There are always several different flavor of soufflés to choose from, including Grand Marnier and chocolate as usual suspects.
Some of my favorite things (some on the menu and some as sides) are the Caesar salad, lobster bisque, tuna tartar appetizer, shrimp pizza, potato croquettes, golden beets, salmon, polenta cake and, of course, the Grand Marnier soufflé.
In case I haven’t made the point yet, you can’t leave without having a soufflé. The Grand Marnier soufflé is my favorite but you really can’t go wrong no matter which one you choose. Don’t forget to pour the sauce all over it!!!
The cooking classes also are stellar, and you learn some great tips like how they make the soufflés so soft and sweet in the center. Getting the recipe to make the soufflés at home alone makes the class price well worth it!
Two Chefs is a hidden gem. My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner there and for part of my bachelorette party I had a cooking party at Two Chefs. I’m lucky enough to have been there for as long as I can remember and highly recommend it to everyone.

Yes it’s a bit pricey… But remember you always get what you pay for. Yes it’s a bit slow… But do you rather have a fresh cooked meal or a reheated one? Today my office-​family and I went to Two Chefs to celebrate our Boss Man’s birthday. The meal was superb! I had a Beef Carpaccio for appetizer, grilled salmon with asparagus and potatoes and a ahhhhmazing chocolate soufflé to complete the meal. Every item was cooked to perfection. Flavor was incredible and the attention we received from the staff was excellent. Some of my colleagues also had the Tuna Tartar, shrimp fettuccine and the grand mariner soufflé which they also enjoyed very much.

Delicious, quality food tastefully presented! Worth the visit! It is a bit on the pricey side, but merited considering the caliber of food served.

The atmosphere is romantic and cozy. The menu has great variety and they offer their Miami Spice deal year round which is an affordable way to get an appetizer, main course, and soufflé. Their tuna tartar is so good, but their main courses have never amazed me. They tend to over salt their dishes I think. I can’t remember the exact menu names but I’ve had the chicken and a risotto dish that were just way too salty. The soufflés are always baked to perfection and I would come back just to get another taste of the amazing dessert.

Soufflés, soufflés, soufflés! My favorite part of any meal is dessert. and Two Chefs takes the cake (or soufflé!). Several flavors to choose from, all delicious.
Desert aside however, the menu is always changing. Definitely some staple items, but since everything is purchased fresh, the menu is based on current availability, which is always a good thing.
Jan is fantastic and his entire staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. They have a room for events or large private parties, great for luncheons, wedding events, birthdays, and so forth. Additionally, if you love their food, you’ll love their cooking classes!

I date night gone very well… when I walked in it seemed a little dark but as I sat down my eyes adjusted to the candle light. we were greated immediately. we were told that the Miami spice menu was available. I then inquired what the menu was, extremely surprised by their answer… the whole menu is available that put a huge smile on both our faces. I had the chicken with risotto… absolutely amazing. she also like her dish being the meatloaf. very hearty meals left us full and content but could not walk away with it trying all three of their soufflés… the chocolate being the best and neither of us like chocolate.
great place!!! staff very attentive and nice. I would recommend this place. definitely going back.

3 of us went for dinner on Tuesday night at 7:45. The restaurant had 9 tables of patrons and 2 people at the bar. We were seated in the center of all the patrons then asked to be seated away from the central cluster of diners. Additional first impressions: the temperature in the restaurant was warm, it is very very dark and there is a paper placemat on top of the linen table cloth.
We opted for only 1 Miami Spice meal and 2 entrées. Our waiter mentioned the half priced bottles of wine (Tuesday only) which was not clear from the wine list. This may have been an oversight on all three of us because we couldn’t see the fine print on the menu without our spot light from our phones.
They’ve adapted their regular menu to include most items for MS and some with additional charges to the $ 39 fixed MS price. The crab cake appetizer had a nice crunchy breading but the crab filling was stringy and mushy. The tarter sauce was very basic and placed on top of the cake. The large asparagus were very fresh but the ends were not cut off so the last inch or two was tough.
The tuna was over seasoned and the hash mix did not pair at all. The bacon wrapped meatloaf was good and a large portion but the black bean BBQ sauce didn’t have a hint of black beans. The mashed potatoes were very fresh but too much horseradish and was missing butter, cream, salt and pepper. The pork loin was mildly seasoned but very tender. The escargot bolognaise was a nice blend with large chunks of escargot but this was also mildly seasoned. The bitter sweet chocolate soufflé was very good; perfectly baked but the sauce was more sweet than bitter sweet for my taste.
I’d go back for an after dinner drink and their soufflés.
