"Strawberry Moon is a Mediterranean restaurant in a South Beach hotel from the same restaurant group as Swan, and the two certainly feel like cousins. They share similar DNA: a pastel color scheme and an expensive menu full of teeny dishes that will hit the table and cause your inner monologue to scream, “Is that it?!” But food’s not exactly the point here. It’s a place to be seen—both the indoor/outdoor restaurant itself and the adjacent pool, where they throw pool parties full of people yearning for the gaze of strangers." - ryan pfeffer
"The plush, jewel-toned, velvet-enveloped Japanese steakhouse, was opened in mid-2022 by Groot Hospitality—the Miami-based restaurant group known for big-name clubs like LIV and Story, and other celebrity-backed restaurants like Strawberry Moon (a collaboration with Pharrel Williams)." - ByAntara Sinha
"As one of Pharrell Williams’s Miami restaurant projects at The Goodtime Hotel, Strawberry Moon is framed as a scene-y staple tied to his restaurateur side and suggests the kind of stylish, high-profile hospitality he brings to his events." - Tierney Plumb
"A Miami hotel restaurant co-owned by a high-profile musician, it draws ‘famous-ish’ guests and nightlife figures, positioning itself as a buzzy destination where notable personalities like Amber Rose and Tyga are regularly seen." - Mariah Smith
"Strawberry Moon is a South Beach restaurant inside The Goodtime Hotel, and the aesthetics are the most interesting part about this place. The space features lots of soft blue and pink tones with gold accents, and it kind of makes you feel like you’re in a Wes Anderson reboot of Miami Vice. The food isn’t terrible, but it’s also not anywhere as interesting as the interior design. There are some tasty things on the mostly Mediterranean menu - like perfectly fine meze dips, a yellowtail crudo with tomato vinaigrette, and the Moon Bread, a soft, slightly sweet roll brushed with a very good fig tahini butter. But most dishes don’t deliver much value. The $26 yellowtail crudo comes with four paper-thin slices of fish that’s barely enough for two people to split. The $58 lobster is just two tails laid atop a pretty useless puddle of tzatziki. And nothing else we tried made us want to sprint back to our computer and book another reservation. However, this place could be useful as a see-and-be-seen restaurant. Keep it in mind for those nights when you want to dress up, drink somewhere fancy, and feel like an extra in this hypothetical Wes Anderson Miami Vice remake we’d actually be very down to watch." - Ryan Pfeffer
