Joia Beach

Such a perfect spot! Food and service was fabulous. Hasan took such good care of us. Great recommendations and conversation! Love the vibe and atmosphere.

I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent here. It was a lovely Sunday brunch and evening . I did come without a reservation but was easily accommodated. I opted for bar seating and was pleasantly surprised by the service . Daniel was my host and he was absolutely amazing from start to finish . The ambiance and decor here is very catchy and nice . There is outside seating such as beach sections , tables , chairs , and photo ops . The drinks I had were all great . Passion fruit margaritas and passion fruit mah tai all yummy . I enjoyed a lovely Greek salad and truffle fries . All fresh and made to perfection . Overall my experience here was great . I'll definitely be back sooner than later .

This place is greatly overrated!, the prices are pretty high, the food average but the service was terrible. Ash was our server and he had an attitude problem from the beginning, we were told by the runner he had 10 plus tables at the time since a few servers had called off so probably that contributed to his behavior, nevertheless unacceptable. On vacation having a good time with our family, spent $640 for an average at best dinner and had to put up with bad attitude and very long waiting times, ruined our experience. Cherry on top 20% tip included in the bill $100 and he still has the audacity to ask for extra tip!Grace our busser on the other hand was great!!!Thank you!

My true score is a 3.5I've been to Joia beach on 2 different occasions. This is definitely a vibes place. You walk through a garden setting with plants and trees surrounding you. When you come out, the space is open to the restaurant which is right on the water. You can either sit in the sand or under the covered area. The fans are limited and it's hot ( it's florida so it's always hot). I would recommend bringing a mini fan because you'll need it. Service has been consistent across both times. The 1st time I had the chimichurri steak. I couldn't sub out the potatoes for fries - just an fyi. The truffle fries were really good. The 2nd time I had the fried lobster tail bites which were amazing. I would've gotten the main course lobster tail but it was only grilled and based off last time I didn't think they would make any adjustments. We got fries again and they were awesome. The tomatoes & burrata tasted heavenly as an appetizer. My friend did get the shrimp from the raw bar and enjoyed it. Everyone at our table ended up ordering the fried lobster bites so it was definitely a crowd favorite. My friend enjoyed the Pina colada - it's her fav. I had a Mai Tai which tasted very good. And I can't forget my fav the crème brûle- it was soo delicious. Overall, this is a great place to hang out and enjoy the beach vibes. Service was good and the food was good as well. I will note that on one occasion there was a 2 hour timeframe at the table while the 2nd time we weren't set with a time limit. Not sure if it depends on the day or time you come but that's something to definitely keep in mind because that time limit almost deterred us from coming back the 2nd time around. Valet wasn't too bad this time around, it was 20.00

What a gorgeous place with great service, amazing food, and the best views. Make a reservation for a chaise if you want a memorable experience. It will be hot, so hop in the water to cool down! You may see a huge lizard like I did, though, so keep your eyes open...As for food, I strongly recommend the hamachi, fresh oysters on the half shell, shrimp cocktails and especially the beef carpaccio!The prices are in-line with Miami standards, but it's worthwhile for the views and the vibes. If you want an elevated experience, this is the place to go. Be sure to plan ahead as much as possible. I took an Uber here, so I'm not sure what parking is like. I did see a valet station, though.

I wasnt able to get the full experience because of the weather so we sat at the bar. This place is beautiful and the vibes are nice. The bartenders were great. Once we sat down we were helped pretty quickly. To start we did the pina colada and pornstar martini. Its limited food at the bar but still great choices overall. We tried the yellowtail for me i didnt enjoy it but im also not a yellowtail lover. The truffle fries and shrimp were good. There is a live band playing which is nice. I would come here again and get the whole experience.

Just wow. Everything is amazing. Food is fresh and delicious. Food comes out promptly. Staff is attentive and pleasant. They have entertainment. Both times I have been they had a dj or an entertainer. Place feels like you're in Tulum or another country far from Miami. I highly recommend.I had lamb chops, Bronzino, fried lobster and watermelon salad. Everything was amazing.

Beautiful ambiance, great music, and views. I came with a large party for a friend's birthday and my experience was much better than my first visit in 2020. We ordered from Miami spice menu and I had the grilled chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and mushrooms, however, it tasted like chicken Marsala? Wasn't expecting the taste but it was prepared to perfection and tasteful. I had the Greek spreads and baklava for dessert. I tried two different drinks, the Annes cooler and porn star martini- I preferred the annes cooler as the martini was too sweet and seemed to be prepared differently from others who had ordered in the group. The server was attentive and efficient for a large party. Joia is definitely a must have experience to embody Miami life!

Joia Beach has been one restaurant on my list to try, and I'm so happy I finally went! Reservations are a must as they seem often busy, and parking is available for $20. When we arrived, we requested not to be seated directly on the sand and were moved after asking our host. I wish they offered us options before seating my party of 4. For a Sunday night, the music was blasting, creating a lively dining atmosphere. I forgot my waiter's name, and it's not on the check, but he was terrific and well-versed in the menu. I enjoyed a cute Paradise Found for my drink (unfortunately, our drinks took over 15 mins) and ordered a Joia Burger. My meal was so filling. I did think my burger was slightly under medium rare, but I didn't mind (our food came to our table quicker than the food). There was a photographer who took framed photos for $20 each. I bought 1 as the photographer took very nice photos but they should offer deals if you buy multiple. Lastly for dessert, I enjoyed a delicious crème brûlée. My table enjoyed our food and will certainly return to Joia Beach. It was an excellent restaurant to enjoy my birthday!

This place is beautiful, really cute for a date night or going with a group of friends. We made reservations for dinner around sunset. Your table is located on the sand so keep that in mind for footwear. There were a few groups who were there for the beach and were drinking/partying on the sand but somehow it's still a nice environment to enjoy your dinner. Food was good, not the best ever for the price but the ambience makes it worth it.
