"As a restaurant alone, R House is unique in that it is also an art gallery featuring local artists – we wouldn’t expect anything less for a restaurant in the Wynwood art district, of course. But what truly makes this a popular brunch in Miami is the Drag Brunch hosted on Saturdays and Sundays!. R House offers four different packages for brunch that include a main dish and a choice of either unlimited side dishes, bottomless brunch drinks – mimosas, white wine sangria, mojitos – a combination of both, or two sides and the bottomless drinks."

"The drag brunch at R House is a Miami Sunday tradition right up there with getting disappointed by the Dolphins. But unlike the Dolphins, R House is full of pleasant surprises, where in addition to the best drag revue in the city you’ll also get a menu that would be pretty fantastic even if it wasn’t raining men. The R Cuban Breakfast with scrambled eggs, moros y cristianos, and tostones would put you into a food coma if not for Miss Athena Dixon and her cadre of performers."

"R House is a fine dining restaurant and lounge with an art gallery right in the heart of Miami’s Wynwood arts district, serving a contemporary and eclectic mix of American, Mediterranean, Asian and Latin dishes. R House provides patrons the opportunity to admire and acquire art as well as enjoy DJs and live music. One thing to know about this restaurant is that their Sunday brunch is one of the best in town."

"The food is delicious, the atmosphere is really great and their drinks are to die for. We had the croquetacos and those are a MUST!"
