Barceloneta

Omg amazing- the food here was OUTSTANDING- particularly the artichokes and grilled octopus. This indoor outdoor spot is close to the water in an elevated part of Miami Beach, making it a great spot for a date. The waiters are extremely attentive and both food and drink come quickly. Although this place is big it is popular so I do recommend calling ahead for a reservation.

- Make a reservation - Got the croquetas (don't get it, less than average), steak tartare (the dressing overwhelms the steak), and the arroz negro (pretty good)- It was really loud indoors. If the weather is good, I recommend sitting outside- Food came quickly- Service was ok, they were so busy we had to look for them every time we needed something

Some things I've eaten there tasted sooo good but some didn't. Shishito peppers are def a must if you don't mind too much oil in your food. And the bread they bring is phenomenal. However, the paella was the worse paella I ever had in my life. Didn't have any flavor. Service wasn't good because they don't really speak or understand English. It's a cute spot tho but I'm def not going back.

Maybe the worst meal I've had in a while.. definitely more of a drinking spotSangria was goodBrussels sprouts are burnt with too much sauce if you're into thatCroquettas were mushy and not flavorful served with mayoThe prawns were smelly shrimp not prawnWould not return

There are so many delicious options at this place! It is probably best to go in a big group so you can order many of the tapas and share. My favorites from what we ordered was the gambas al ajillo and the patatas bravas. I also liked the Arroz de Campo. I thought the shishito Pepper's and boquerones were good but I would not order them again because I would like to try other dishes like the Brussels Sprouts and eggplant. Too many tempting options. The waiter was attentive and recommended the Maracuyá Martino which was perfectly balanced between sweet, sour and a little spicy because it is topped with red pepper flakes. The Los Olivos Martino was also delicious. The restaurant has a great vibe, definitely a spot I would come back to.

We drove by,and decided to go in. We got a nice table for three near the open kitchen. We were in the mood for light fare and what better place than Tapas.Brussels Sprouts,Kale & Beet Salad, Tabla de Jamón y Queso, Berenjenas con Miel. Pudín de Chocolate con Helado de Avellanas y Cañas, Agua Gaseada Refresco.Everything was delicious. My favorite dishes were the Brussels Sprouts and the Salad. El Manchego & Ibérico do not need explanation. The Berenjena had a very smoked taste, not as sweet as I expected Service was attentive and prompt.Love the Ambiance.We need to go back to explore more the menu.

We had a wonderful date night at Barceloneta! I'm surprised by the average reviews because the night we went here, the food felt authentic to the many times we traveled to Mallorca and Barcelona. We have loved the Italian restaurant next door for years, and so happy we finally stopped here to try it out. We will DEFINITELY be back soon.

I was surprised to see this place had only 3 stars on Yelp, but ventured there anyway because it was recommended by a friend. This place was great! The prices are reasonable and the food is hot and fresh. We originally had a reservation for 7, but moved it to 6 when we realized there was happy hour from 5-7. Happy hour included $5 aperitifs, $10 cocktails and wines, and snack/food options for a reduced price. We ordered the arroz de campo and the tempura green beans which were on happy hour. The rice was great and had complex flavors. The green beans were also perfectly hot and crispy. It came with an aoli on the side which was a little bland and heavy to add to a fried food, but still nice to have a dipping sauce. We also ordered the grilled octopus which was not on the happy hour menu but was a reasonable price with a generous portion. It was fresh and cooked perfectly. My partner ordered the margarita which was great. I ordered the happy hour passion fruit martini which I asked if it would be sweet, and was told no. When it arrived, it was too sweet for my taste at the bottom so I only drank half. I ordered a glass of wine after which was great for a house wine. Would definitely return for happy hour and possibly for a group dinner for shareable items.

Decent tapas place, service is really quick, food is delicious and good cocktails selection. Steak tartare is a must order. Now the atmosphere is really good for a big group indoors, but if you're looking for an ambient date spot this might not be your thing because it's incredibly loud inside, and outside you just get a road and cars driving all the time. Also their tables are kinda close to each other so you end up bumping backs with strangers sometimes.

Amazing mushroom croquettes!! We came for dinner and I was a little worried after scanning reviews. Service was excellent! We got to the restaurant early and it wasn't packed on a Sunday night so we were seated early.We ordered the croquettes, patatas bravas, lamb, and the chocolate bread pudding. The croquettes were so good and I would come back just for those! The potatoes were kinda soggy, not crispy on the outside so I wouldn't recommend them. I'm spoiled from perfect potatoes every time in Boston so I sort of expected that these wouldn't be as good. The lamb was good but a little over cooked for my taste (also $34 for 4 chops). The bread pudding was delicious. We got it to share and it was the perfect little treat to end the night. Price wise it's a little more expensive for what you get (compared to Boston where I'm from). The food was good but not amazing. I'd come back for the croquettes, dessert, and the white sangria. I think total with drinks was around $135 and I didn't notice if there was automatic gratuity or not. Good date spot but not fancy enough for a special occasion.
