We always love going to balans, the servers are so attentive and welcome us back everytime. We love having dinner on a Saturday, its great to spend some time having a good cocktail and listening to music, their brunch is amazing! Eggs Benedict and French Toasts are reallyy good! The prices are really good and Brickell scene is great.

Great service, good food, we didn't have to wait long to get our food either, and attentive waitress as well, all made for a good afternoon. Had a very tasty cocktail as well. The salmon meal is excellent! As is the thai curry.

If you're looking for nice breakfast or happy hour while in Brickell area, Balans is the place to go. I really enjoyed the outside sitting. Menu is pretty good, I am vegetarian, and I had no problem choosing. Service was on the better side, and prices are very reasonable for the area. Happy Hour is also very good, especially the... More

I did not have a full meal, just some munchies... I wasn't 'wowed' by this place, but for the al fresco vibe, people watching, reasonably priced,tasty apps (though a bit skimpy on the portion sizes, so price is relative) and nice atmosphere...it works.

My husband developed an instant addiction to the "Jumbo Breakfast" which is something he... More

We sat outside at high tables under large umbrellas. This let us take in the overall scene and enjoy the outdoor air under the night sky. The contemporary menu had... More

Stayed in a nearby hotel and was given this recommendation by the hotel staff. Didn't expect much, but went on a Saturday night. The food was actually very good and it was a great nightlife scene.

My husband & I walked to Balans while staying at the New Yorker Boutique Hotel down the street. There was pleasant outdoor seating and a nice menu and great service. Our food was very tasty and worth the price. Later on in the evening, a live reggae band performed making for a pleasant last evening in Miami.
