Ahumar

This is a new restaurant serving Seafood & Latin Fair, this is Ahu MarLocated inside the DUA hotel you can enjoy an upscale lunch or intimate dinner date night. The hospitality is warm with phenomenal service!They offer mocktails like the guava mama (delicious & sweet!) For apps, the alcapurias which have a seafood topping placed on a yucca fritter or for my oyster lovers try them baked or on the beach style.The chickpea spread while smooth, has a middle eastern vibe with a bitter aftertaste. And one I can't reccomend enough, the mussels. I'm a newbie so the standard has now been set extremely high.For a warm and comforting entree, try out the seafood asopao which translates to soup or the easy going chollo matte which are fried snapper bites served with tartar and cilantro sauce.Dessert: For my chocolate lovers, go for the strawberry fields of chocolate mousse, fresh strawberries, and a kiss of sesame salt. Or the creamy cheesecake with crunchy graham cracker, and dots of passion fruit my favorite.

Ok Ahu'Mar might be a relatively new place in Brickell but wow does it leave a good first impression. I came in for the Miami Spice menu (available till the end of September) and let me tell you. This is where it's at! An upscale restaurant with wonderful waitstaff mixed with the mesmerizing aromas coming from the kitchen lead to an amazing experience. To get to the food. The best thing I ate was surprisingly the grilled watermelon salad. The watermelon was grilled to look just like a piece of meat. It was so convincing I questioned if the thing I was eating was actually a fruit. The smoky char on it was a playful dance on the tongue and the tiny hint of meat from being cooked in the same grill gave an unexpected emphasis I didn't know I needed in my life. This place is definitely worth a try and for a $30 Miami spice menu it is 100% a must try before the month is over.

It's a beautiful and airy restaurant next to a hotel. We had a pleasant experience trying their Miami Spice lunch menu on a very quiet Saturday. Overall 4.5! The food was a solid 4. The tomato soup was creamy and nicely spiced paired with a perfectly crunchy toasted bread. We had never had grilled watermelon before and decided to try it. It looked like salmon but it was indeed watermelon. It was a bit too acidic for us but interesting nonetheless. The burger was juicy and the sauce was a perfect balance. The chips were too salty. The pasta made from scratch was very rich with the cheese and I would have liked it more Al Dante.Ice cream was home made and superb. Both chocolate and vanilla flavour were creamy and not too sweet. Service was 5. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. She investigated why our dessert took so long to arrive and discovered that they couldn't find any coconut sorbet I ordered. I switched to vanilla ice cream and the restaurant offered a complimentary drink for the inconvenience. That was nice service. They have an extensive regular brunch menu so we'll want to return. It's a perfect place for a quiet weekend brunch.

Filia in my neighborhood was one of my favorite restaurants but it recently closed. AHU/MAR is in its place. A shot of blueberry watermelon gazpacho, a superb salmon steak cooked on the fire right in front of of me and some great carmelized brussel sprouts! Maybe this will be a new favorite...and the wine pour is not bad either.

Four of us came here for miami spice and we weren't disappointed. The restaurant is beautiful and service was fantastic. I loved the watermelon salad and the steak. I was pleasantly surprised by the black rice dish! The desserts were amazing!!! Overall, was really impressed by the presentation and flavors. The experience did take 3hrs by the time we left. The su chef touched the table and was very sweet, gave us his business card and asked for our feedback.

I came during Miami Spice for a friend's birthday dinner, and it exceeded expectations! Each course was unique, sophisticated, and tasted amazing. The duck entree, spicy salmon bite, and cheesecake were big hits with my group. Chef Alex has such beautiful vision and took time to talk to us about it. He and our server Victor made it such a great experience, on top of the great food and vibe the place already offered. Highly recommend for a nice night out!

Came to have dinner and try the Miami Spice menu. Great presentation and the food was delicious. Calming and warmth atmosphere that doesn't want to make you leave. I sat at the bar and the service was outstanding. Valeria was kind and attentive. She even introduced me to the lounge upstairs which I didn't even know they had. A must try I will definitely be back!
