The Collab

Visited The Collab this past Saturday for dinner with my family and had a very pleasant experience overall. The restaurant is located inside a hotel I hadn’t been to before beautiful lobby and a great first impression. The restaurant is immediately to the left as you enter, with stylish aesthetics that work well for a family meal, a night out with friends, or even a date night. One standout was their open kitchen you can actually see the chefs handcrafting pizzas and sliding them right into a stone oven. My son loved watching that, and the pizza did not disappoint. I ordered the Branzino for my main course, and while the fish was well-cooked and flavorful, it was served without any sides, which felt incomplete. Most places usually pair this dish with something, and I would’ve appreciated

Chef Nico and his team have done an exceptional job with The Collab. The atmosphere is cozy with a great selection of music. Great for an intimate dinner date or girls night. Jose was very attentive and efficient. The food was truly incredible from presentation to taste. The crispy cauliflower was packed with flavor. The grilled octopus was incredible and charred to perfection. I’d recommend the tenderloin truffle as a main dish or the beef cheek pasta. Both were full of flavor and truffle. The desserts were just as delicious. The apple tart and pavlova are definitely a must. Overall, The Collab delivers an outstanding dining experience and service. It’s a wonderful addition to The Thesis.

The Collab is our absolute favorite restaurant. We’ve dined here many times, and the food is always outstanding. We recently hosted a private dinner for 13 guests, and everything was flawless. The private library room was set up beautifully with orchids and a warm, elegant ambiance. The food was superb—our guests loved every dish and were so impressed they even asked for the recipe of one course. Compliments to the chef for an exceptional menu. The service and attention to detail were impeccable, and as always, The Collab truly feels like home. Highly recommend for both intimate dining and private events. A heartfelt thank you to Massimiliano Giua for his incredible attention to detail and for ensuring every element of the evening was perfect. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to ho

This was a fantastic dining experience with my family and my daughter who goes to University of Miami. The atmosphere is wonderful. The manager Hector is very responsive and very involved in the customer experience. Hector will treat you like family. The bartender Kristoff is a cocktail magician and has a very cool vibe of his own. I highly recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere, the food and the cocktails. For breakfast, the Shakshuka was out of this world.

I just had the pleasure of dining at The Collab, @ The Thesis hotel, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. We began with the crispy cauliflower, which was perfectly glazed and packed with flavor. The blue crab croquettes and grilled Spanish octopus followed as appetizers; both dishes were outstanding, with the octopus being one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The octopus is a big deal!!!!! For our main courses, we had the branzino, tenderloins, and picanha. Each dish was a masterpiece, cooked to perfection and bursting with rich, savory flavors. The branzino was delicate and fresh, the tenderloins were tender and flavorful and the mushrooms that came with it were outstanding , and the picanha was simply divine. The dishes look simple but packed with so much texture and
