First time invited and this was amazing. Crispy, juicy, and just enough kick. Grabbed seconds just to make sure it wasn’t a dream. If you can get an invite, definitely recommend coming for the vibes and great food!
The food was phenomenal: cuban lasagna was cooked to perfection, with well marinated chicken and perfect balance of rice and cheese. Desert was a cherry on top of this delicious dinner. I would definitely come back for more!
Loved this place! Very fun ambiance, and the food was amazing. The server seemed a little overworked, but she was still kind and smiling, if a bit under appreciated. The piping work on the dessert was visually stunning, I wish I’d gotten a picture. I definitely hope I get to go back soon!
Best grilled cheese on the old Brickell side, it was a secret off menu item. The bacon was perfectly caramelized and crunch factor was a 20/10. Truly I would marry this grilled cheese. So happy I got to come here again it never disappoints
We loved it! I didn't think it possible. But, yes all the food came straight out of a can or the toaster.
Genius! Fingers crossed for an invite.
Seriously, for comic factor alone, 5 stars is not enough.
God speed on continued success.
Wow. What an experience from start to finish. Hospitality form the moment you walk in the door. Food was outstanding and service was out of this world. The flavors in the lasagna was top notch and to die for. 5/5 stars.. highly recommended!
This was my first time here, and I hope it isn’t the last. Not only was that food absolutely incredible—the layers of flavor were exquisite—but the atmosphere was so much fun and welcoming. I highly recommend this if you are able to get an invitation.

Review:
I went to The Overconfident Chef with high hopes, but I was sorely disappointed. The chef clearly wasn't properly trained, as the food was bland and uninspired. The portions were also tiny, and I was left feeling hungry after my meal.
The wine list was even worse. The only wine that was available was a $50 bottle of Franzia, and the waiter tried to convince me that it was a "great value." The waiter actually told me that the Franzia was "award-winning." I'm not sure what award it won, but I'm guessing it wasn't the Nobel Prize for Winemaking.
The only thing that saved this restaurant from being a complete disaster was the ambiance. The dining room was dark and intimate, and the service was attentive.
If you're looking for a good meal, I would steer clear of The Overconfident Chef. But if you're looking for a place to have a romantic dinner in a dark, cave-like atmosphere, sipping on boxed wine, then this is the place for you.
