Artisan Kitchen & Bar

Great place to visit for lunch. Many unique selections to choose from. I opted for the empanadas and crunchy chicken tacos which were yummy. The ambiance and the staff were great and this was my first visit but looking forward to the next.

The food is good; however, the portions are really small for the prices. We went for breakfast, and the croissants were a small appetizer, and the arepas had very poor filling. Service and atmosphere good, so maybe will give this place a second chance.

We had breakfast and dinner here. The omelet, waffles and croissant were great. The shrimp tacos had a great seasoning. The key lime mouse was awesome. Lattes rocked. Great place.

Visiting beautiful Florida from Colorado and was not impressed by this place at all, it is overpriced for the food they serve, . It was cold and for a party of six it took them an hour to bring it to the table and still had to wait for a couple easy scrambled egg meals. The waitress Never asked if we needed a water refill or more juice . The server was nice however she could use some help too many tables for one person at a restaurant definitely won’t provide an efficient service. Definitely don’t recommend it

Wonderful place to enjoy a delicious Venezuelan brunch. Everything was amazing. I could recommend almost everything in the menu.

$42 for two arepas, which cost to the owner $2 each one, no sides, no presentation, served in a small side plate. The restaurant is pretty nasty. Check the light/pendants, with one inch of greased dust. The light of the bathroom is so weak that you can barely see what you are doing. Everything with 20% of tips included obligatory. Horrible experience for lunchtime.

This is such a nice place. Decoration is nicer than other Venezuela places (see photos). I was in the area when I looked for a place to eat and I found them. I confess I wanted to eat good and cheap so I went for the “arepa de pabellón”. I sat at the bar which is super cool, and I ordered a “arepa de pabellón” but I wanted it “open face”. The guy who served me recommended that they had the traditional “pabellón” on plate. I said yes, but I was never told that was actually $8 more that the “arepa the pabellón”. Even though, it was worthy :). Good food guys!

The location is splendid, the picture that I posted is a salmon salad with mango surrounding such a delicious dish. I highly recommend this location it is very clean and organized and the staff is extremely friendly. It's great for all ages and it has all types of food. Five stars all around

Best restaurant on Key Biscayne!! Everything is delicious and the service is friendly and welcoming. We love the arepas, croquettes, pepito sandwich, Venezuela ln breakfast and the desserts! A must go if you are in Miami!

This was our first visit to this place as We were visiting from Denver. We had the burgers, pork sandwich, tacos and salad. The portions were incredible. The food is very flavorful, savory and amazing! We were greeted quickly and waited on right away. The environment was lively, clean and full of life. So much fun!! If you are in the area, this is a must visit. Can't wait to come again when we are in Miami. Thank you for a great experience!!

Venezuelan inspired cuisine with delicious food, attentive service and a casual ambiance. The food is very fresh but I would not recommend coming here if you are in a rush because they do take a while to come out with your food. This is something that is a written warning on the menu. All of the meals were very tasty and they had Vegetarian and GF options.

We came here first a quick bite to eat. Service was quick. We got a free appetizer which was this fried fish which was actually delicious! I ordered the beef sliders and the first bite I took it was legitimately raw. Like still ground beef. It wasn't pink, it was bright red hadn't been cooked. I spit it out and brought it right to the chef who could oversee our table. He apologized and immediately made me new sliders which were cooked much better and tasted good. I didn't love that it happened but they made it right by me. Everyone else enjoyed their empanadas! I wouldn't go back but it's a cute vibe there.

My husband and I popped in here for breakfast. The waffles were amazing. I think they had powdered sugar in them or something, they were so good. Would come back.

Amazing Homemade food Best drafts beer selection in the area Best Venezuelan arepas Highly recommended

Great food. We did takeout service and my elderly mother loved it. Inside is very simple and a bit dark. Great neighborhood dive for simple comfort food.

Ok place, nothing overly special. Came for brunch, had waffles with berries and melted chocolate. Waffles were really good, berries nice and fresh but the chocolate wasn't melted, had to wait on the waiter to go heat it up. Ordered iced tea before the waffles, had to ask for it again, finally came when I was almost finished the waffles. If you as the owner read this, the waffles were great Syrup would have been nice, a bit more chocolate and $6 for an iced tea is ridiculous . Adding an 18% tip but not telling your customer before swiping the card is bs. The waiter had a hand held card reader, just told me the total, I had to ask if they added a tip because he didn't hand me an itemized bill first.

Literally obsessed with this little spot as soon as I walked in. It's cozy yet vibrant. A lunch type spot that also doubles as a good coffee grab. The service was wonderful and fast despite it being lunch hour. The food was fresh and the sandwich was my favorite. I made a little mod on the sandwich and the kitchen happily made it. Can't wait to come back and visit!

Cute place for brunch on Key Biscayne but very over priced. My bagel sandwich (with one egg) was $17. Also seemed understaffed. Only one waitress for the outdoor area and she also seemed to maybe be new. Took a long time to get water after we sat down and my coffee I ordered came once I was almost finished with my meal. The food was tasty though and I like the Venezuelan options.

This place is a go-to for breakfast arepas! They have a large variety or arepas available, even vegetarian ones. I think the sandhich quality has gone down a bit.. the bread isn't the same anymore. However, they continue to be good sized sandwiches for 1 person. I always get the bolarepas and the mini empanadas to start. Price is high but it's Key Biscayne so it's not too shocking. There is parking in front of Artisan but sometimes can get very busy.

The food is amazing, the services is excellent and the ambience is very pleasant. I highly recommend this place!!!

I absolutely love this restaurant. One of my favorite spots for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The service is super efficient and all the employees make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is great. The vibes are great and cozy. Recommend 100%. Ask for Nayra or Jesus for the best experience!

Food is great....but service is awful. I got the wrong food and then was chastized about not getting a credit for it for not returning it. The manager said he knew it was wrong, but did not say anything to me. He waited for me to notice. SO WRONG!!!! I told him its not what i ordered - he said i needed to return it before i but into it (if you know an arep, you cant see it from outide and know stuffing is wrong. Good place, but Key Biscayne (and Miami) is about service !! Its not a fast food. $15 for an arepa, make sure its right or dont hassle me if i you know its wrong. This isnt Venezuela where the owners dictate This is USA - the customers need to be treated fairly and reputation goes far. They have a lot to learn - shame!!

I love ordering take out from Artisan on days that we crave Cachapitas and Reina Pepiadas. Their cachapitas are truly amazing and delicious! You get 3 mini cachapas topped with cheese. Great for sharing. Reina Pepiada is also a top winner. Arepa is spot on and so is the filling. I would say a bit more stuffing would be best, but that is just hungry me talking... PS: order online to save time and beat the rush

Absolutely love this place!!! It's an electric spot with live music on sundays and Venezuelan tapas! I loved the artwork and decoration of the place. Food was perfect. The Venezuelan tasting platter had a bit of everything including a cachapa, arepa, tequenos and empanadas. Will definitely be back here soon and I'll order more stuff and tell you guys about it.

I visited the Artisan Kitchen on a Saturday, which can or cannot be a mistake. Very busy and there was a 20-30min wait for a table. I decided to sit at the bar and get on with it. I ordered the Bacon, Fried Egg, Avocado, Arugula Burger (not sure the name) and it was dynamite! Everything here prepared fresh and with their open kitchen style, you see them make everything from scratch. Paired well with a Stone Delicious IPA. The vibe here was swallowed up by the overworked staff and seemed they were short a few workers the day I came in. The meal was worth the money, even at $20 for a lunch. With plenty of "Latin American" fusion items on the menu, I will be back in the near future. Next time, during the week!

Stopped in during a walk and we were pleasantly surprised. Nice trendy place and oh so busy... We sat at the counter and we had some great service and super food. The curry chicken salad was my choice and it was made with light mayo and a good dose of curry but more for the flavor. The apple was a nice refreshing addition, and the rainins were a nice sweetener. The bed of frisee and greens were a welcome refresher also. The mango salad was very fresh and was accompanied by a healthy dose of mango on a bed of delightful greens. The place was accommodating for us, and despite not being breakfast menu time, they cooked a very nice omelette - really nicely made with nice trimmings. I recommend this place!

The food and service here is terrible. The eggs were cold, the coffee was cold, the bread looked like it was broken off the baguette (not sliced) and cold as well, and the service took forever. The cheese on the eggs wasn't even melted, and the ham looked old and the cheese rotten. I didn't even eat my food of how disgusted I was. The skillet in which the eggs were in was rusted and it looked like the metal was coming off. That outright is a food hazard. How can the service and food be so low quality when we are in such a nice area that is key Biscayne? Would not recommend

Have you ever felt like just taking a drive to some place that maybe you could've visited at some point in your 4 decades on this earth, but just never have? Well, I've been in that mood a lot as of late - travelling to places just a few hours away from my home town that I can't explain why I've never set foot there before. Thus, just last week, I wanted to (finally) wander on over to Key Biscayne and see this little jewel in the Atlantic for myself. After a few hours in the car, my brother and I were ready to chow. Thanks to Yelp, we found this place which was literally just a few hundred feet from where we had parked. Artisan Kitchen & Bar is situated on the corner of a plaza of small shops on the beautiful main road just north of the State Park on the Key. Walking in, this place had a really cool vibe about it. First of all, it was packed with all kinds of people having a great time feasting on a variety of dishes. Some were seated on the comfy couches in the front surrounded by hi top tables near the windows. The open kitchen, with a very wide bar for more seating runs parallel to regular tables that finish the seating area. The noise is a little louder than most places, but it wasn't overwhelming enough to become distracting. It felt like I was in a happening place that I knew would be a great experience. We were greeted by one of the many servers with menus and welcomed to sit wherever we wanted, so we bellied up the bar since there were plenty of spots for us. Despite the place being very busy, we were served quickly. There are plenty of options on the menu for discriminating palettes and diets, from sandwiches, salads and much more. Specials are brightly displayed on their daily chalkboard visible from any seat in the house as well. I had their chicken sandwich that I requested without the bread. The server brought it out with all the accoutrements to make it a very filling and refreshing meal. The chipotle mayo was full of flavor and had a nice kick to it to wake up the senses. Paired with their pomegranate iced tea (no free refills, though), I was very happy because the food was delicious and fresh. The bro had their ham and cheese sandwich which was very similar to a Cuban on the long thin bread, which he said was fantastic and looked good to me. Oh, let me not forget the best thing we shared - house made BACON FRIES. Oh yeah, they have several kinds of their fresh, crispy and very thin fries that you can get plain or topped with things like, um, bacon. That's all I can remember because that's all I wanted. They serve you a heaping helping in a small pail steaming hot and loaded with fresh bacon pieces. Man, I'd drive the two hours again just to have those with one of their many craft beers on tap. Highly recommended! Overall, Artisan was an awesome choice for a quick and delicious lunch with reasonable prices in a very hip place on a really beautiful island. I'll be back again, because the entire trip to the Key was definitely worth the time with partial thanks to this establishment.

Wonderful hidden gem. Perfect draft artisan beer. Enjoyed sandwiches, salads and cold beer on a humid Saturday afternoon. Warm service and nice environment.highly recommend.

I have never written a negative review about any restaurant, but in this case I feel I must. We arrived at the artisans kitchen bar ask for table or if we can sit at the bar to eat breakfast. After being told yes, we took our seats and the guy behind the bar said the bar is closed and the original guy said that he said we could sit there so we did. After about a minute a short guy runs out and yells at us to move. I said that the other 2 said it was ok to sit at bar he yelled again "no". Extremely rude we felt as if we were getting kicked out. So we left. I understand being busy, but there is never a reason to be rude to a customer for no reason...:. We were yelled in front of other tables and embarrassed. I am disappointed by this restaurant: Customer be warned We ended up eating at the La Boulanger which the service is awesome.

If you're in a rush this is the place to come, the food is good but they will rush the sh!+ out of you for some reason...

Decent brunch spot. The environment was comfortable with multiple seating arrangements and family friendly fly. The service was prompt, make sure to get there before the brunch crowd around 11. The menu had plenty of options to choose from, with an Argentinian twist including arepas and skirt steak. The only reason we did not give this place 5 stars is we were not super impressed with our food. We got the eggs Benedict arepa which was had a unique sauce but the eggs could have been a little more done and there was only a sliver of avo. The veggie omelet (added avo and bacon) was standard and very poor presentation. Portions could have been a little bigger for the price. Would try the meat specialists next time.

I come here for years . I mean 6 years at least . Menu has changed a lot . Missed old menu . Food overall is good and usually my go to place After my beach days. I just wish the staff would speak a little English so it would be easier and that the kitchen w have more veggie options or sub a burger patty for a veggie one.

What a find! Great recommend, especially since it's a 10-min walk from the Ritz Carlton where lunch will cost you $90. It has small bites and entrees, so we did it tapas style: octopus, three kinds of sliders (the magi was WOW!), shrimp and shishito peppers, burrata salad... plus a wide beer selection. All were excellent, thought the shrimp lacked any sort of taste which was weird given how flavorful everything else was.

Grabbed lunch at Artisan Kitchen & Bar on Saturday afternoon. Ordered a Latte to drink and then split the Serrano Creamy Croquetas, Venezuelan Tasting, and Artisan Fries for food. Quality After hanging out at the beach on Key Biscayne, I searched for a place to grab coffee and a snack. I found Artisan Kitchen & Bar and figured we would give it a shot. I started with a Latte, and it is hard to complain too much about any place using Panther Coffee. We then opted to share some fried Spanish treats rather than go the traditional meal route. First was the Serrano Creamy Croquetas. They were tiny, but packed with great taste. With a perfectly crispy outside and an inside oozing with rich flavor, it was an solid dish. We also ordered the Venezuelan Tasting, which came with 2 tequenos, 1 minicacapa, 2 crispy arepas, 2 bolarepas, and 2 mini empanadas. Just a mix of staples, shrunk down a bit. The highlight for me was the cheesy tequenos, which went perfectly with the guava sauce on the side. On the other end, I was disappointed by the mini empanadas, which were so tiny they barely had any meat inside. We also opted to get the Artisan Fries, just to make sure we did not leave hungry. The skinny style fries were decent, but nothing too special. Quantity We ordered primarily off the appetizer menu, but the few items we ordered were more than enough for a light yet heavy lunch. The Venezuelan Tasting especially, with its a combination of fried and cheesy items, can fill you up quick. Value Even though our order was confined to smaller shared bites, the entire menu presented reasonable prices. It would be no problem finding a filling lunch for under $15. Ambiance Artisan Kitchen & Bar is located within the village of Key Biscayne. This cafe, restaurant, and bar, takes up the corner unit of a strip mall among the other stores and restaurants on the key. Outside the restaurant has a few tables set up, which were a popular area for folks sipping on coffee. The majority of seating however is inside. Immediately inside you have a small lounge area, that seems set up for folks who may want to do some work. Tables surround these couches, and then continue to the back of the space. Along the left wall there is a bar seating, and they do have a selection of beers and wines you can order. Above the bar a single television hung, which unsurprisingly was showing a soccer match. In the background Spanish music was playing softly, preventing awkward silence, but not interrupting conversation. Crowd The busiest part of the restaurant was its small outdoor patio, which had each of its tables full. Inside however, things were much calmer with just a few diners. I got the impression that this spot is popular with locals, mostly from the abundance of golf carts sitting in the parking lot. It is a casual space, but one that fits the bill for folks looking to relax with a coffee or with a beer. Service The staff was welcoming and friendly. Our waitress let us know a few of her favorite items on the menu and made sure to get our food out quickly. Parking The restaurant is located in a small strip mall. They have a good sized private parking lot, which was very easy to access. Extra Artisan Kitchen & Bar, was not at all what I thought it would be. It functions as a one size fits all space, providing an option for people looking for coffee, food, or a drink. I also must admit I was not expecting the Venezuelan style cuisine, but overall I enjoyed it. It is not a bad place to find yourself for weekend lunch.

Artisan has the best Venezuelan arepas in Miami, unfortunately they only make them for late breakfast or lunch, and sometimes they run out. You can easily eat two arepas every time you order, that's how good they are. The best thing about artisan is that everything is made from scratch, and you can tell. Other favorites from my wife and I are the picanha platter and the cachapa (sweet corn arepa) with cheese and cream are delicious. Also, If you want a good Brunch, is also a good place to go to. My wife and I love this place, and have never been disappointed.

We went here for breakfast twice and dinner once and it was always amazing. I'm gluten free and was so pleased with their dedicated menu section of arepas and cachapas. Everything was fresh and made in house. Delicious. Friendly service as well!! We stayed at the Ritz and it was well worth the short walk and great prices.

Fresh, fabulous food on Key Biscayne. My favorite spot for lunch!! Tried the salad and cachapas with chocolate mousse for dessert. Fantastic!

Been coming here for lunch since I started working in KB. In the very beginning, they messed up in order. The manager made sure this would never happen again. Hasn't yet happened. For the best service here ask for Danilo. He would take great care of you and your party. My favorite dish here is the tuna tartar salad and the croquet.

I have been to this restaurant 3 times now for lunch. The atmosphere is nice and the menu is interesting. But the prices are quite high for the value. We had the Venezuelan tasting which was 10 small pieces consisting of mostly dough and cheese for $17. They charged $3 for 4 slices of avocado on the side. If I go back, will be more careful about menu selections...

We went here two days for breakfast and it was delicious! Fresh squeezed orange juice, literally squeezed when you order it! Delicious!! The Walnut French toast is the best I have ever had! The fruit salad is beautiful and super tasty! Everyone in our group got something different and everybody loved their food! Excellent service, we ate inside one day, outside the next day, you just can't go wrong with this place!!

What a nice surprise. Came in here for a cup of coffee but discovered a great restaurant for the future. There's mixture of Italian, Columbian, American Argentinian and Spanish dishes. Ordered a snack Serano ham brochetta and peanut butter pound cake. The coffee was delicious too. I love the open kitchen to watch the chefs work. They have a big wine and beer list that will sure to please the sophisticated tourists and residents alike.

This place is amazing. The food quality, the dishes, the presentation, the wait staff. Amazing. The brunch menu is "decadent". You want to order a little bit of everything. The lunch options are awesome. The burger: the best I have had in my life. It is worth driving to Key Biscayne just to enjoy this place. I am not related or have an interest in this restaurant, but this is one of those places in which you can't wait to go back to. Our server's name was Jesus: what an amazing professional and what service we got. Highly recommended.

Very good surprise ! I stopped by Artisan today for lunch. Mahi tacos w avocado , shrimps , desert called Ane Surprise. Very reasonable and good ambiance.

Stopped by Artisan for a late breakfast. The food, service, and atmosphere were great. Casual without being sloppy, clean with a great vibe. My Eggs Benny while a smaller portion than expected were very tasty. The green onions were a nice touch. We had a super nice waitress, although she seemed a bit overwhelmed with her workload, despite it not being very busy (perhaps 40% of the tables were occupied). I would definitely go again.

My favorite hidden gem in Key Biscayne. Simple venue that has a good variety and a little for everyone. I'm more of a breakfast person and they are timely with service and food is delicious.

Horrible service. From the moment we got there, we sat for over 30 minutes and no one even offered us something to drink. Never going back.

My first Venezuelan breakfast couldn't have been better! We tried the mini chachapas tasting, the Venezuelan breakfast and the Benedict arepas. The sauce on the Benedict was very flavorful. Ordered coffee and asked for cream, they brought warm frothed cream, such a nice touch! Mahalo from Maui!

First time trying this place . Ordered the Sliders and double checked with the server there is no Bacon inside . Got them and ofcourse Bacon was inside !!! Asked the meat to be cooked Medium got it Medium well . Had to wait for redoing my dish not apology from the manager/owner . Think twice if you want to go there ......

Really terrible service, which their menu boasts. I was also asked for an ID card for my service animal, which is illegal. The food was decent, but there's no excuse for such awful service.

A casual upscale Venezuelan American breakfast/lunch place. Arepas. Croissants. Eggs. Sandwiches. Plates of this and that. Nice room - which is what you need to have to survive on Crandon Boulevard. Pleasant enough food. If you want to look fat like an American, order a biggo piggo plate. They got those. Want to look good like a Venezuelan? One arepa will do. And if you get the arepa here, the arepa will be good.

This place looked so good online, I was super excited to try it out. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. I have a gluten allergy (celiac), I informed the waitress and asked her to recommend an item on the menu that would be safe. She recommended the tuna tostones. So I ordered that. A few bites into my meal I start to feel sick, and I ask "is there any soy sauce in this?" The waitress said "oh yes, there is soy." I inform her that soy sauce has gluten in it and that now I will get very sick tonight. She apologized, but bottom line this place has no concept of food allergies. Cannot recommend for anyone with food sensitivities. Also, unmasked group of 10+ people socializing and drinking in the outdoor seating area. They moved chairs from inside to congregate outside blocking the walking path. Just the whole thing is a no.

Nice little restaurant right on one of the islands off Biscayne Bay. The food was quite well prepared with a nice variety to choose from. We ended up getting the octopus. Which was charred and cooked very nicely and super tender. We also had some sliders and some other appetizers. Nice selection of beers. Service was a little slow but overall a good experience.

Loved my breakfast! Great coffee and espresso. We walked over from our vacation rental in search of yummy food and were really happy with what we found. I ordered the breakfast quiche which had bacon, roasted corn, and goat cheese. It's less like a traditional quiche and more like a tart crust but WHOA the flaky deliciousness was amazing! My husband got the eggs benedict arepa and also enjoyed it very much. Nice server and not a long wait time for anything. We will be back before leaving the area for sure.

Been here several time, food it's ok, nothing great, but eatable. Every time you order on the phone and come to pick up, you still have to wait, they kInd of prepare the order while you are there. I don't see the point of ordering if they take more than 45 min to make simple arepas. The environment is nice, kind a mix of decoration, with no specific theme.

Come in for a quick pick up & lady at counter completely ignored us.. Maybe she was busy I dunno...I Didn't think much Of it since i wasnt in a hurry. We órdered food to go, but sad my salad had to be replaced since they added bacon (salad came with it so I get it) even though I asked lady if any meat & she said no. This is no biggie, as I vegan in used to orders not coming out right. Went back to replace it & nice guy helped me. I apologized too since I hate wasting time & food but he was great & told guy to give me a balsamic dressing too. I get to the car open up the salad just to check it out & first thing I saw were moldy raspberries... As a vegan I know berries get bad quickly, but it's terrible no one check them before putting them on my salad. It's not wilted lettuce or soggy stuff .. It's mold & it's a health hazard. I picked them all out & just have say that I'm disappointed...$11 for an all veg / fruit salad not cheap & was so hungry. Husband's sandwich was good, bread was a little hard but overall he liked it so 2 starts for his meal & the guy that helped me. Won't be back

The place has nice ambience. That's about it. The portions are small and the quality is hit or miss. To add insult to injury, it's not cheap either! Almost seems like it's understaffed. It would be nice if they could get their act together. Not enough alternatives on Key Biscayne. The Boulangerie is not perfect either, but certainly a better alternative for now.
