Florida Buffet Restaurant

We stayed at Riu hotel for 5 nights. The receptionist at the breakfast was terrible.(She had blone hair and blue eyes. Her name starts with letter C) We have been to this hotel more than 3 times and we know how it works with the breakfast. The first morning, she confused or made mistake with our room number and others. She came to our table and started to yell at us as though it was our fault. We explained that was not true and she walked back and checked. She came back to us saying we are all set without saying any apologies. What an amateur behavior!!!! Then the last day again she told me we were not on the list and we have to pay for it. At this point, I felt like either she is a racist or just trying to give us trouble. Even if there was our fault, she supposed to call us out and try to figure out or explain what happened. This is unacceptable!!!!!!

This eatery lives up to its "buffet" reputation in spades. The fruit so colorful as the mango and pineapple tasted as if it was just picked off the tree and cut for the dish. I am from Texas and we love our chicken fried steak which they labeled fried beef, sliced thin and delicately fried, so tender and flavorable. So many variety of breads. Even the croutons had a crispy bite without being too hard. Prunes were even pitted. Ice cream was presented from a large can with a marble slab for adding mixing. There was bread pudding that would make a Louisiana cajun blush, flan and chocolate eclair. The salad bar would put any other restaurant to shame. Oh it was over too quick. I challenge any visitor to Miami's mid beach to put this place on the must do list. The hotel is not too bad either. I haven't figured out how to post pics as proof of this review.

Mixed experience. Some nights the service was good. Some nights your empty plates stay on your table. Breakfast service was good if you are sat outside. Could do with some music playing inside. Start to feel like a canteen experience.

I came here on my birthday for the breakfast buffet because I wasn’t a guest I paid $30 which was a fair price. The food was a six out of 10. The hotel itself was beautiful so we had a great view, but we sat outside so the birds were a little disturbing. Other than that, I enjoyed my meal. There were lots of options to choose from and I rate the restaurant and the hotel is seven out of 10.

This is a review of the breakfast buffet only! This was a nice selection. There was an omelette bar and it was not an extra charge. There was a yogurt bar with all of the toppings and granola and chocolate sauce and Nutella. Plenty of bread and pastries. The coffee was hot and the server kept refilling it. They have yucca and mushrooms and a few other items such as quesadillas as well. Plenty of lunch-type meats. They had soy milk and almond milk and oat milk. I have seen much more creative breakfast buffets, but this one was certainly above average! They have signs everywhere not to refill your water bottles from the water at the breakfast area, but I don’t see why not. Unless they’re concerned about contamination. It feels like they’re just trying to sell water though. 4 stars!
