Jaque Mate Kendall - Miami

This place is great and a real gem in Kendall. Really cool. Food is good and the coconut mojitos are awesome. This isn’t your typical place. It’s more like an experience with a fun and family friendly atmosphere. There are dancers that dress up and a really funny guy on stilts dancing and entertaining. That along with the excellent live music (a group called Sugar) Make it feel like you’re inside a Latin music video with a nice party going on and everyone having a good time... The sound system is amazing with top of the line EV speakers. You will feel those beats. They play all the top Latin music. Service was great with the server being mindful of us at all times. Really glad to find this.

The place had very different decor,but it was very nice. The place was DEAD, mind you this was a friday night. We ordered the 3 cheese pizza and it had an aftertaste a kin to that of taking a nice big whiff of nail polish remover. I ended up eating the fried calamari I ordered as an appetizer (which was pretty good with that sauce that came along with it).

Terrible service. You get charged an automatic 18% tip on your bill. Music was good.

Where do I start, as we walked in the staff was welcoming and friendly the service was prompt the food was great but the best part of the evening was the little handwritten note that I requested via the Opentable app to be added to our suprise dessert, totally made my fiancé’s night. Thanks guys for an incredible date night. Highly recommend

Great atmosphere, especially the live band. Food could have been better, although a couple of the plates we had were very good.
