Amazing team of songwriters, producers nd musicians!! Highly recommend them!!!!
They’re such great musicians! I’ve had personal experience with them when it comes to their original songs, and I really enjoyed it.
Our experience with This Songs For You was awesome. We wanted a song for my husband for Father’s Day as a special gift. What can you give a guy who asks for nothing and gives so much? His own song- written for him and performed by his daughter. They were so easy to work with, so supportive and open to our changes and requests. Their process of interview questions made it easy for them to write a song that was perfectly tailored to my husband. They gave us the sheet music and a recording so our daughter could learn to play and sing the song. He absolutely loved it. We will be using them again – I think this is going to be my go to gift going forward for those special to me. Thank you for making it fun too! 🙂

Bernardo was especially helpful and quick to respond to all my emails. Got my product on time and in perfect shape, even though i was organising for a friend to pick up for me, as I do not live in the states.
Such great service. Repairs were on par (at a much lower price than guitar center) and timely. I lost the tubing piece on my guitar and replace it with a different one (a white piece instead of the manufacturer solver). I didn’t even request it to be changed, just wanted the truss rod and action altered and I just noticed that it was changed. Great service!
The store is amazing, great service and if you like brands like Fender that’s your place.
Much better than Guitar Center. But unfortunately they don’t repair amplifiers.
3 stars because it’s mostly a Fender shop, small, cozy, nice, but Fender
Absoluterly terrible guitar tech… Hired him to re-work the sottering on my guitar. I showed him the back open so that he could have a solid idea of how difficult it would be and that no surprises would show up. First we agreed on $40 cash (which is not only more expensive than guitarcenter but I would assume he wanted cash so that he could avoid the owners cut). He said that he would call me in two days max… I called the third day and said that it was $50. Also said that the guitar was done yesterday and so I went to pick it up. He shows that the potentiometer (volume knob) wasn’t working and that he didn’t really check it…. after suttering the electronics… Anyway he says that he’ll work on it and the day after I pick up the guitar (without the old potentiometer) and once I start recording with it, the know feels super loose… low and behold the picture provided…
Listen I love competition and its the main reason why I went here. But do yourself a favor and avoid the guitar tech….
Use to fix all my guitars there, and buy guitar accessories plus many guitar lessons for my son. I referred many people there and my son did too. Until one day I trusted their judgment on an electric guitar case by Fender. It broke in less than a week and now it’s still falling apart. I went for an exchange; the answer: “Sales are final” -showing me the sign. “Contact Fender, that’s not our problem now” I tried to contact Fender, no answer so far. I tried to help their small local businesses; now I buy online!
One sales rep was extremely dismissive.
I gave them a second chance with a repair. The second rep was nicer, but misquoted me on the repair at a very low price. After doing the work, he told me it was more.
He compromised.
Unfortunately, the work (saddle/intonation set) was done without glueing the saddle at all, so it was never actually set, the work was never actually done. I basically got a glorified string change.

The Miami Jungleland Book. A true piece of work. The best translation of Miami’s Art and Cultural Scenery. A must have treasure. This book makes you travel to Miami from any part of the world. I highly recommend it.
Good coffee and books
Nice place to feel expensive and rustic.
A wonderful store, I love their culture, gr8 for special gifts
Watch Out and READ YOUR RECEIPT !!!
“Store Credit Only”
SAD!!
With all the stress and so-so economy they DO NOT refund you ? I always looked up to BOOKS & BOOKS as an institution in our community, I love the stores and staff just disappointed to find out about the refund policy, in today world where everyone refunds you.
Costing mistake for buying a book that we had and did not realized….
Good to see that now Assouline and Taschen have their own stores in Mia Bch, and Amazon off course.
Cool stores but no thank you.
Great bookstore.
Hellooo. I would like to share my experience in this store.
First of all this is a 1.5 star review.
As a Miami Beach resident I have been a Lincoln road location customer for years especially when I used to live, study, and work in south beach.
My mom ordered a book in store, paid cash, and was told that she would receive a call when the book arrives… But we never heard from books n books.
I called once and again a few days later, the book was sitting there waiting for me to pick it up but no one called or texted me to let me know. At this point, after a week since the book was ordered and paid I wanted to understand why all miss understand happened.
I went to the store to pick up the book and I wanted to talk to the person in charge. “Talk about WHAT?”, the so called store manager replied.
I just wanted to understand how customer service works in this company.
She did not introduce herself, just justify her behavior.
Possibly I dont know all the store policies. Even I was right or wrong, that is not the way to talk to a customer who has a simple question about the business where she works as a store manager.
I felt the disrespect for my time and my money.
I left the only person out of three employees who said “thank you, have a good day” was the your lady at the register.
After two phone calls, time, money, gas, parking, and bad customer service I could have bought the book online 30% cheaper.
I learned my lesson.
I also called and emailed the owner mr mitchell kaplan who kindly responded my email.
He is an awesome, nice teacher! A professional at piano. He has helped me a lot! Highly recommend to get lessons from him to increase your skills!
Thoughtful, knowledgeable patient and flexible. Had been great to work with and certainly has a lot to offer students at any level. I’d highly recommend!
Great Service, very professional!
14. Bucherer Bal Harbour Shops
Address: 9700 Collins Ave Suite 234, Bal Harbour, FL 33154 , Bal Harbour , Florida , United States
Very friendly & knowledgeable staff. Excellent selection of premium watches.
Excelente atención
Very satisfy of my visit in that boutique. I came to check Rolex CPO and finally left with a beautiful 16570. I will for sure come back as Hugo was listening to my needs and helped me finding a gift for my wife.
I highly recommend this boutique en specially Hugo, thanks again !!
Bien atendido. Personal insuperable
To expensive and can’t help us
great selection of luxury good but it tool a while for a representative to assist us, other than that they were great
Mary was very helpful, BUT Tourenau won’t accept their own watches as a trade in for other watches. Doesn’t say much about the product they manufactured.
Sales Associates are extremely rude and untrained. Walked into store inquiring about Rolex, the associate responded we only sell watches to locals, when I mentioned I live here half the year sales associate asking why I have a hotel bracelet on. As if with all the new construction in Miami they never heard about hotel residences and never seen an amenity bracelet!! Didn’t even offer to show me any watches. Kirk Jewelers in Brickell are way more friendly and client oriented.
Sad….had at least five sales people working and no one would wait on us ….went in to buy not shop…… I’m assuming because we don’t speak Spanish. Terrible customer service. Would not recommend this store! If I could give zero I would for rating.
Back to Palm Beach to shop
Clean and professional facility. Numerous spacious rooms available to rehearse, great drum sets and affordable prices.
Nice cool and comfortable place to rehearse. Also provides recording studio.
Well equipped, friendly environment and nice place to play. Many rooms available for a fair price. Thumbs up for Julio!!!!
Nice música recording studio
Clean, well organized, descent gear, but both times we rented our experience has been bad/terrible. Very unfortunate as we were looking for a home and it seemed like a great location.
First visit, they wouldn’t let us in until 3 minutes before our time started with the room being empty and had us stack our gear outside of the room explicitly telling us not to cross the door’s threshold until they said OK.
Second time, we had to cancel last minute (COVID) and we were OK paying the 2 hour cancelation fee and had already arrived. Problem was, the place wasn’t even open. We had to wait around for an employee to show up 15 minutes late to open so I could pay a late fee. Of course he charged us the full late fee, and there was no consideration for OUR time. Never understood a business that can’t open on time….especially on a Sunday @ 2pm.
Hardcore if customers are late/go-over, but staff can’t open the studio on time. When they decide to show up you pay full price. That is just crazy and bad business. Spoke with owner to try and get some relief & work a deal on another rental and he either 1) Didn’t understand, or 2) Didn’t care….couldn’t quite tell.
Last thing: You can’t schedule more than a week in advance. Not sure how “regulars” do it but apparently you have to be one to get any attention or a call back.
I hope your experience is better than ours, most people seem to like it but definitely not for us.
The Elvis statue is cool.
This studio uses bait and switch tactics on their customers, they quote you a Price on the phone then when you get there they switch it up on you, will not recommend this place ever again, they made me look really bad with one of my clients, and they did not want to fix the issue either, their attitude is pretty much take it or leave it, I see also they’re not even registered with the BBB, be careful with the studio.
17. Found Sound Records
Address: 1654 NE 123rd St, Miami, FL 33181 , Bal Harbour , Florida , United States
New favorite local record store. I echo what everyone has already said about Ralph. Super personable, friendly and passionate about music. The prices are far more reasonable here than any other store in Miami. That, the wonderful selections from practically every genre, and the friendly atmosphere will keep me coming back for the foreseeable future. You should too!
Very friendly owner, good selection (in fact the best in Miami) and very knowledgable on the rarest records around. Other record stores need to take a page out of Ralf’s book to see how it’s done well and with satisfaction. This geezer deserves all the business he will surely get. Enjoy the Stuff Combe when you get it!!
I will be back!
Amazing selection! Everyone is nice and prices are great 🙂 Check this place out !!
Drove 30mn to get there. Arrived at 4:30pm. Hit the ‘back in 12mn’ sticker. Fair enough… Waited 15mn. Yes Ralf is back and even waved me.
5mn later he is still inside and never let me in. It is 100F outside. I had to go. So it may be a good store, but you may not be able to check.
Long time record collector. My first visit to Found Sound was nowhere near what other reviewers have shared. I decided to go here because of such high praise. I wanted to love it, but just didn’t.
I was glad to see there was a small parking lot. Upon walking in, I was instantly hit with the strong smell of Marijuana. I honestly don’t care if anyone smokes, but going into a fairly confined space and smelling that wasn’t at all appealing to me. Plus, I get bad headaches and nausea from overpowering smells.
I’m assuming the guy working was the owner. He didn’t say much to me, but seemed pretty friendly with the customers he knew. The selection itself was hit or miss. I saw one record on the wall that was just way more than I wanted to spend. I’m glad I passed, cause I found the exact same record, in better condition at a shop in Broward for $20 less.
I just didn’t find much that interested me. I’m sure there’s nice stuff rolling in all the time, but not so much on my visit. Lots of run-of-the-mill titles you’ll find anywhere. There were some cool wall pieces, but not much I was searching for. The Hip-Hop and reggae sections didn’t really pack much of a punch either.
Based on my initial experience, I’m not likely to return. But if I was in the area, I would consider giving it another try.
I highly recommend DJ Shia for your next event or simcha. He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. DJ Shia was accommodating and helpful and understood the vibe I wanted create with little direction. He knows his music and how to read the crowd. I hired him for my son’s bar mitzvah and he kept the kids engaged and they never left the dance floor. He even took incredible videos and captured so many amazing moments from the special day. Don’t look any further!
It was a great vibe and an awesome dj that made it happen
Awesome DJ! Pumping out the best tracks with absolute fire beats – DJ Shia is the man!!
19. Rolex Boutique Tourneau Bal Harbour Shops
Address: 9700 Collins Ave #227, Bal Harbour, FL 33154 , Bal Harbour , Florida , United States
There isn’t enough i can say about my experience at this location and the incredible attention I received from Karine and her managers. Absolutely top notch and flawless. Great people, professional and a pleasure to meet. Will definitely go back and I highly recommend them.
Thanks again for the attention and experience.
I would like to say thanks to Djems Joseph for the best watches I got couple weeks ago.
That’s incredible purchase, which I never expected getting so soon!
Djems is amazing and I really recommend him as your sales person!
Thank you very much again!
Best shop for new Rolex purchase
We just got GMT 2 Pepsi here
Hermoso para pasear
Mucho lujo
Rude sales staff. We were visiting from out of state and they were so snooty “we only service our local clients”. I asked to be placed in a waitlist for a Rolex. Sales guy stated they only add local residents to the list. I know with current markets on Rolex and chances of getting one are slim but come on my guy at least act the part.
Terrible experience. Completely disregarded me. Despite having a relationship with tourneau for years. Staff was rude. Horrible look for Rolex as a brand. I have yet to experience walking into a high-end boutique and being treated this poorly.
I was not hete
