La Mesa Miami

Inside seating available during COVID! The inside of this place is VERY cute! We went for dinner and the music was playing, definitely a great time! I'm sure for brunch this place gets pretty fun (which is nice knowing that you don't have to go all the way to wynwood for a good time). Bartender was a little slow, I believe there was only 1 so it took a while for the drinks to come out --cojelo suave & living my best life are delicious!Food portions are pretty goodBut my 1 drink & 1 meal was wasn't worth the $50 tab. Yes my food was GOOD but I expected more flavor for a $24 dish.

Celebrated a friends birthday here. The location is hidden but it's such a pretty restaurant. They have live music and they sing happy birthday with a banner and sparklers. The food was good, but way overpriced for Cuban food. Between 2 appetizers, 1 entree and 4 drinks it came out to $200+. These are south beach prices for a hidden location next to the airport. The service was probably the biggest downside. I got there 10 minutes before the rest of the party and the waiters had their back to me the entire time. No one came to offer water or anything to drink until I had to physically get up and flag someone down. They also charge a cover fee per person on the final check and don't mention it anywhere beforehand. We ordered a cocktail at first and the waitress told us we could add a double shot to it called "ya tu sabe". Turns out the shots were just separate. They don't go with any cocktail as it's it's own concoction. Would've been nice to have that explained prior to ordering. All in all it's a fun time if you're down to pay south beach prices for a local restaurant.

Packed on Fridays! Nice ambiance, ok drinks. Engaging servers with a very good attitude.

The show of Alexis Valdes was spectacular, and the singer Erick, but the bartender and waitress were very impatient to pick up the plates and were very rude. And prepare the drink and touch his nose. And I was pist off for that and retaliated me, and came and ask me if I was ok. Not Customer service. And very disrespectful.

The food is fine, the service is 'good,' and the atmosphere is excellent. It's a good place to share, dance, and enjoy shows every week. If you plan to drink vodka or tequila, expect to spend no less than $300 per bottle (excluding the best bottles). The regular prices are overpriced, ranging from $40 to $90. It's better to opt for cocktails, a glass of wine, or beer.

Hoy 31 de Diciembre, esperando el Año 2024; el servicio fatal, pones orden y pasa rato y se olvidó.No espacio para bailar.

Food wise I would give this place a solid three stars. The menu has many traditional food items that you expect to find in Miami like mariquitas, yuca frita, and croquetas. I do like that the menu pays a tribute to Miami as a city with most plates and drinks being named cities, famous sayings, or cliche words. The food itself was okay. It tasted good but nothing out of this world. I did enjoy the bacon wrapped maduros and found them to be different and something I had never tasted before. The drinks were super strong and delicious. I ordered the Hialeah Gardens and found it to be yummy. We did not really order main plates but shared appetizers. We did order the arroz con huevo frito and found it to be yummy but again something that I could easily recreate at home. The plates were not anything that made you say WOW. If I were to rate this place on ambiance alone I would give it 4 stars. The restaurant is well designed and has neon signs with very famous sayings. Great photo spots! The customer service is great. We went on Friday night and they even had a live band playing Latin music which made it super fun. We were even dancing!

Incredible how they treat their employees. My godson was un justly terminated and has yet to be paid. I wouldn't step foot in this establishment

Horrible service. The staff is rude! The food is not bad but such a disappointment. El servicio es bien malo!

La cena de Navidad fue horrible, muy mala calidad para el precio. Dj horrible en sus selección de música, solo regueton y el de peor calidad, con niños en el lugar debió tener mas cuidado.
