"I dined at Crazy About You twice while visiting Miami. That never happens when I'm on vacation, which shows how much I liked the restaurant. I wasn't able to get a table because they were booked on both nights, so I sat at the bar outside. The view outside is magnificent at night, so it was actually the perfect spot to sit in the restaurant.The first night, I had the Black Truffle Linguine. It was delicious!! The entree also came with a side, so I tried the Smoked Mahi Mahi Dip.The second night, I had the Wagyu Double Cheeseburger. It tasted great, and I recommend it also.By the way, the drinks here are awesome!"
"We felt like we were dining in a friend's living room and it was amazing. We had a reunion with friends we met in Spain and were seeking out a tapas spot to bring back the memories. The restaurant is tiny, with one big table and only two or three small tables. I therefore recommend getting reservations in advance if you plan on dining here. The food is a mix of Spanish and Argentinian tapas, and the owner is from Argentina. The menu was very similar to what you would find in Spain though. We ordered one of almost everything and enjoyed every bite. The jamon, manchego, and bread was amazing. As was the pulpo (octopus), calamari, shrimp, tortilla, jamón croquetas, patatas bravas, and salad. We were celebrating our friend's birthday, so when I mentioned it to the owner, he was awesome and brought her out a flan with a candle - so kind. The prices were reasonable and we had a great time talking to the owner for awhile. The restaurant is located just minutes away from the Wynwood neighborhood, which we still took a few-minute Uber to afterwards, as the neighborhood seemed a little sus at night. I'd definitely recommend dinner here!"
"All the happy hour drinks tasted the same, I wasn't a fan of any of them. I'd recommend just ordering a regular drink off the menu. The ceviche was delicious I loved it with the sweet potato crisps and it's a good portion for happy hour. I really didn't need anything else to snack on. This is a cool swanky place in midtown, I'd recommend if you want a more intimate setting."
"Tasty, authentic Spanish tapas and entrees in a historic looking restaurant! You have the feeling of being transported to another country being in here. Performance stage has live music like flamenco on weekend nights. Service is the weakest point---spotty and not knowledgeable---but if you can work with it, the food is worth a visit.I went for their brunch, to celebrate my birthday, which is typically only offered on Sundays, but the owner was kind enough to have the chef accommodate a request for brunch items on a Saturday. They have bottomless cava-mosas for $35, which we took very full advantage of as the combination of fresh orange juice with the cava helped our party have a great time.A few of us would ask for refills, and our server would take three or four flutes back to the bar to pour the drinks. It became clear that he was not keeping track of whose glass was whose and simply came back and placed glasses in front of us without checking anything. Luckily we all liked each other enough to be able to be comfortable with sharing glasses.I had the Chistorras a la Casuela and Spanish Tortilla which were both tasty. The Chistorras had well seasoned potato cubes, crisped chorizo and a beautifully runny fried egg. The tortilla was hefty with its layers of scalloped potatoes, held together with fluffed egg. I shared one and a half slices with my friends, then asked for the rest of it to take with me. The server took it and never returned with the takeout container.If you can't tell by now, our server was young, distracted, and quite clueless. There was a soccer game on in the restaurant, and we caught him watching the game a few times while we were trying to get his attention for an order. He told me that the owner wanted to give me a surprise, so he wanted to know when our meal was done. Obviously, he didn't get the memo about what a surprise is.However, like I said, the ambience of the restaurant, and its food are worth a try. The owner, William, is an incredibly sweet gentleman whom you should be able to meet since he is at the restaurant almost every day. Hopefully, you'll have a different service experience. You may have a better chance going with a smaller group rather than the large group I had!"
"There's a lot to choose from on Lincoln Road when it comes to food and I love that every restaurant has their menu posted outside at the hostess stand or in a window so you can bounce around and see all the options. It took some time for us to narrow it down but we ended up at Tapelia and it was a solid choice. We really liked the menu especially the idea of sharing a paella but we worried that we might not finish it and we could not leave with leftovers so we both settled on the Garlic Shrimp with Rice and Salad, me sauteed, friend had the fried. Loved this dish, very flavorful and just the right amount of serving. Service was fantastic as well. Waters arrived immediately and were refilled throughout dinner. Food came out reasonably fast and piping hot. I would also say given the set up inside, quite romantic, this would be an excellent date night spot and you can share a paella!!"

I preface this review with that I have been here before and have had a great experience, however this last visit was abysmal: and my last. It was scorching in the place. We asked the owner to lower the temperature several times only to be told there was an issue and that it was already cool. I and others took off our diner jackets. I was part of a large group. We had a set menu, croquettes and paella. The croquettas were actually good. That's it. Full stop. Everything else was revolting. I was given the paella. Burnt to a crisp. It was inedible. The salt content was equal to the Dead Sea. The shrimp was so burnt it should've been sent to a burn unit. The person sitting in front of me had the steak. Same issue with the salt; so much so that he left half of it thinking he may stroke out. Not once were we asked about the food. Copious amounts of food were left on the table. The desert, Tarta De Santiago, was old, dry and no taste of the main ingredient: almonds. The highlight of the meal was the bread and the aforementioned croquettas. The meal came with a flamenco show. The dancers have been there for awhile and are actually a really good troupe. The get a star for the show and one for being a family run business. Fine dining in Miami is having a renaissance. The Gables is one of these epicenters in the culinary scene. Belmont a grand dame, needs an injection of fresh energy. It is going to face strong head winds with the addition of two Spanish themed restaurants on the same block. If it does not change course soon it will flounder like a galleon on the shoals of the competition.

Gorgeous restaurant with a very interesting blend of cuisines on the menu (and some gimmicky bits, like an eiffel tower that accompanies your check). Location is great - just steps away from the water and a few local hotels. The vibe is very warm and romantic so I could definitely see this being a good date night spot. Food was pretty good, and our drinks came out quickly.We came here on a weeknight without a reservation, and it was super packed. Thankfully we didn't have to wait too long but would definitely recommend calling in advance.

Super Small dining area. A handful of tables inside and then a few high tops/ tables outside. Very casual and service was a bit slow but to be fair only one person working. Had a red sangria, a glass of Tempranillo and empanada sample. The empanadas didn't have that much meat inside but enjoyed the fact that they were BAKED Empanadas! Would be interested to see what their other tapas are but not making not making a giant effort to go back. They probably get lots of local traffic which is great support as it does have lots Spanish variety to offer the community

I would highly recommend this spot for drinks. The bartender was friendly and accomodating. The vibe was cute for a Saturday night. The place feels hidden because it's hard to find (directly next to, basically connected to Grails in an abandoned looking building). A nice surprise when walking inside and seeing a bustling simply decorated but colorful interior.Came for dinner on a Saturday night. Ended up only getting drinks. One member of my party had food preferences (i.e. does not eat beef, pork and minimal seafood) that the small menu was not friendly for. The menu is very small - there are a total of 3 entrees. The entire menu is absent of chicken items altogether, which is still surprising. Be sure to closely look at the dinner menu before arriving and share it with all who would be planning to dine. Learned the hard way this is not a place to surprise someone with.Our reservation was for 7pm. We made several attempts throughout the day to change it to 8pm but the phone is not attended. The host was very accomodating for our group of 5 when we arrived, so he made space for us at the bar to have drinks while waiting.I do look forward to returning for drinks. Feels like a chill way to spend an enjoyable Saturday night.

"This was my first time trying this restaurant... and it didn't disappoint. Ordered one of my favorite dishes; a beef empanada.To go together with the empanada, I also ordered their Garbanzo beans with chorizo. It was flavorful and was a good complement with the bread. For the main entree, I went with their Pechuga de pollo, with sautéed vegetables. I loved it because the chicken was very tender. I had a great dining experience and the servers were very friendly.Will recommend this place to anyone who likes a homey experience"
"This is my second time here and food has been consistently delicious, flavorful and great quality. Staff is just delightful from the minute you step into this popular Hialeah restaurant. We had to order the Serrano ham and manchego cheese croquettes which are the best croquettes I've had in Miami and even better than Islas Canarias which I never thought could be possible. The sangria is also one of the best in town. I had the octopus, the spicy clams and fried garbanzo beans as well and not one single item left me disappointed. They also have live music from Wednesday to Saturday I believe. I'm not sure if this is owned by Spaniards or not but they without a doubt cook delicious Spanish cuisine. Only thing I didn't like is the parking situation for its limited and not a lot of street parking either but other than that it's a nice little joint."
"Meson Ría de Vigo has been in the Roads area of Miami for a minute; one of the OG Spanish restaurants. When I went Saturday lunchtime there may not be a flamenco dance show or a DJ but it hits the spot for a solid meal. I came by Saturday for lunch while in the area.I started with a hearty bowl of lentil soup with potato pieces and parsley, as a yummy lead-in to my main course of grilled chicken with steamed veggies and boiled potato slices. The veggie sides tasted really fresh, and the chicken a nice portion size for lunch after the gym. The winner was my cheat - peras al Porto. This was a huge pear, fluffy on the inside and baked in a port wine reduction. It was very much worth the calories!"
"Love this beach shack so much that I had to add it to Yelp! VASTLY different from nearby "Open Seas Cafe" which IMHO is over priced & food is terrible. This spot just across the ways from the sand is fantastic & completely authentic! From the tapas to the music to the employees, it's ALL Spanish, ALL the time (except maybe for Maria, the Cuban angel who make THE BEST mojitos in Miami). Do yourself a favor & the next time you're getting your tan on, stop my for an ESTRELLA some delicious TAPAS, SANDWICHES, & PAELLAS (paella is min. order for 4 people & must be ordered ahead of time). My go-to is the aforementioned mojitos (make it a double!) & their sublime PATAS BRAVAS. Beach food perfection!"
"We had the privilege to visit Tabanco for their soft opening and let me just tell you this place was nothing short of delicious. This is a new family owned and operated Spanish tapas restaurant. That's exactly what you get when you come in; a family sense of service. When you walk in you can tell all the details that went into making this place look beautiful. My favorite part was the wine wall. Just this beautiful wall with so much antique bottles of wine. It really makes you feel like you've taken a trip to Spain. The food was amazing. Everything we tried was fantastic. My favorite was a potato with shrimp dish they had us try. It really made me want to go back for more. We also tired a cut of ham (I forgot the name) but I swear that just melted in your mouth. The quality of food was so fresh and you can see how the chefs plated every dish with love and admiration. The chefs (also family I might add) are from Spain and come with a few Michelin stars under their belts so you know everything you are about to have here is going to be great. The wine! I can't believe I didn't start with this sooner because I love me some wine! I loved the Cab they served. My husband and I had two cups and I think alone I would have had the whole bottle. If you want to support and family restaurant please do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this new gem in Coral Gables."
"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."
"Delicious tapas and paella. Love to come here for date night. Also can't wait to come for the live entertainment."
"I haven't wrote a review in a while just based off the fact those most of the restaurants we have been to have been so generic. If you want to feel like you are in Spain again this is the place to be. My fisnce has been longing for some of the best food from Barcelona and we found it here!Claudio was our waiter and he was absolutely fantastic!! The chef and owner Felipe came out to greet us and take in all of my finances excitement of the food. He was aa thrilled as she was.This was such a gem and we honestly will make this a stop every single time we come back to visit! I suggest everybody else does the same!!"
"What a great surprise. Delicious and a fun, local atmosphere.Mushroom croquettes were to die for. I could have eaten a dozen.Pumpkin rice was great on its own and as a side to the steak.I rarely order an expensive cut of steak at a place other than a steakhouse, but this was one of the best steaks I've had in a long time.The Basque cheesecake was a well-executed classic. So good.Excellent wine list and friendly service. Highly recommended."
"No more sangria happy hour pricing, so that's a shame. And it's $20/glass and $54/pitcher. It used to be good and now it's definitely not worth the price. Only thing for happy hour is beer & wine.Food is still good."
"Over expensive for Cuban food It's pretty much a Cuban Foods at this establishment. There's no authentic Spanish food. The Wine is extremely overpriced for what it is and the sangria is disgusting Service was great but would not recommend to enjoy an authentic Spanish cuisine."
"WOW No wonder it is ranked as NYTimes best places to eat and also won Diner's Choice. Spanish style tapas with a beautiful dining room and outdoor space. You feel as though you are not sitting in Miami. Our server was incredible. She was so sweet and attentive as well as helpful on recommendations. They have a fabulous cocktail menu, wine menu but do offer a full service bar. We were doing an early dinner as we had scheduled appetizers later and went with the Arroces; lobster and seafood rice. (Min 2 people) it was plenty filling and delicious. Highly recommend trying this place and although there is not a bad seat in the house. Always sit outside when you can. Cheers!"
"5 stars all around for Barcelona Wine Bar! To start, if you're trying to disconnect from the typical Miami scene, without breaking the bank THIS is the spot to go to. It's like a less crowded, more functional Lagniappe with a Spanish twist. Located in the heart of Wynwood -- this place is nothing like any other spot in the area. It has this laid back vibe, that's perfect for literally any occasion you can think of. Date nights, group hangouts, special occasions (where you don't want your friends to splurge), corporate events, post work happy hour, any thing you can think of this spot checks off all the boxes. I came here Friday night and have already come back 2 times since. The combination between the price of the food to the taste/flavor is just perfect. On the first night we ordered a feast of tapas + a total of 4 vinos and the tab was under $100. The entire team is so sweet and welcoming -- 2 managers came up to us asking how everything was going and the bar tender was great and patient with our indecisiveness. Some menu items that really stood out to me were the following: - the marinated olives: if you're an olive lover, it's a must! - pan con tomate: just as good as the ones I've had in Spain - seafood paella: delicious, flavorful and very good portion size - patatas bravas: my favorite thing ever! Trust me, when I say this is the spot!"
"We had a last minute restaurant change for a friend's birthday dinner and Xixon was able to accommodate our large party on a Saturday night! We were seated upstairs where we had the area to ourselves which was nice! The staff was super friendly and Carlos was our waiter! He was incredibly attentive and had great recommendations. We ordered two appetizers to share and I really enjoyed the beef cheeks! It was so tender and delicious! As my main entree I ordered the beef tenderloin rare. The tenderloin was okay but I think it was missing some salt! Overall I had a great experience and would come back!"
"For a memorable dinner, tucked away in a shopping strip on Key Biscayne, try this baby out!Hubby and I had the best service on a Saturday evening, the most delicious and authentic Spanish gourmet food, a stone throw away from the mainland! However, prepare your pockets ;-)I recommend 100%"
"Definitely one of the top 3 Spanish restaurants in Miami! We only had three starters - croquetas, tabla de jamón ibérico y manchego, and the octopus (pulpo a la plancha) and everything was exquisite! The jamón just melts in your mouth, the pulpo was perfectly done, and the croquetas were 100% legit. Server was very attentive and gave good recommendations. The place is quite tiny and the patrons seem to know good Spanish food when they have it!"
"I really want to rate this restaurant with 4 stars, and darn they have the potential to be a 5. I'll start by saying that the food was absolutely delicious. Let me point out the Pros, the restaurant is clean and the service is outstanding, they have a full bar right at the entrance and the restaurant is towards the back, our waitress was very nice, attentive and helpful with the menu, we ordered Sangria, croquetas, fried calamari, potato salad, pan con tomate, serrano ham and Paella, everything tasted heavenly, the croquetas are huge, portions are hearty and flavorful, authentic Spanish and delicious, also the portions justify the prices. Now for the Cons...located in Downtown Miami, you already know parking and getting there it's kind of a hustle. I was deceived by their advertising and though this was more of a food hall or food stations, but it is not, is just a restaurant. This place has a LOT of potential, if they would add a little corner with live entertainment, or pump up the music, it would change the whole ambiance, the time we spent there, i could barely hear a little of their playlist and they had a good selection of songs, but the volume was so so low we were literally BORED to the core, the restaurant has no windows or no were to look at, it's a little bunker so you have to find your own way of entertainment, we even ran out of conversations, lol, it really needs more than food to make me want to go back again. My biggest throw off was dessert, we ordered the cheesecake or tarta de queso, and it was a sad piece of New York Style cheesecake!...with such great food why even bother and put that crap, sorry for the expression, on the menu, what a way of ruining the whole dinning experience! Everything was going great until dessert time, like it's so easy to make authentic Spanish desserts and why did you decide to put that vive killer on the menu?! Overall experience was good but those little details i mention make up for a lot, i wish somebody from management could read this and take those details in consideration because i really liked their food."
"TL;DR 10/10 would recommendMy partner and I had early dinner there this afternoon and we had an amazing night! We ordered from each of the sections off the menu. It was a date night and we wanted to go all out.Stared out with a cheese and meat platter and the cod croquettes. Then we ordered churrasco with rice and plantains that also came with their amazing potato salad. My partner ordered the sirloin with fries and also had some "Gambas Al ajijo" on the side (garlic shrimp scampi app). We shared a lovely bottle of tempranillo (calto from Ribera del duero) which I would recommend to anyone. And finished the night with a crema catalan and an almond cake plus an expresso to finish off. If I have to say one regret or one issue? I don't have enough stomach to fit everything else I wanted but I guess that's what another visit is for.I have to thank Ramon and his staff for the wonderful service, we came in and ended up staying a few minutes past closing and staff treated us as if the whole place was in full swing. I will absolutely be coming back as well as bringing our families and recommending this place to others."
"La Vasca deli was very good.It is important to note that La Vasca is under new ownership as most reviews I read prior to coming here were about how rude the previous owner was. Well, I'm glad to report that this is no longer the case and that the new owners are extremely nice and pleasant. The food itself was also surprisingly good. Fresh ham, chorizo, really good manchego cheese, etc... all was very fresh and very good quality of products. To accompany our meal was very good bread and wine... important players in Spanish cuisine. The selection of wines is very good. Definitely a little bit for everyone's taste and budget. I'll be looking forward to coming back here soon and trying different things. A gem in an unexpected shopping center. My best wishes to the new owners."
"We went here for brunch, at 12:30 pm there was a total of six in our party. We all decided to enjoy the Miami spice menu. Our waitress was Gabby she was very nice and attentive. The food was delicious and well cooked. By the time we were leaving, the place was completely full, which is a great sign of good food and great service. This is definitely a place you should visit should you be in the Doral area?"
"Mnogo Vkuzno! Very Delicious! The fact that I was allowed to eat indoors instead of on their outside patio although I was wearing shorts and beachwear, and still received excellent service from Anastasia secures the 5th star.I was in the shopping plaza at its neighbor the pharmacy to pick up last minute beach stuff when I saw Art Priori. With the name, I thought it was an art gallery but noticed the menu outside. Anastasia welcomed me and I sat at a very comfy banquette room while listening to chill downtempo edm to enjoy my lunch.Although it wasn't listed on the menu, I started with a refreshing glass of moscato. Its light sweetness was perfect to set the vibe for a beach afternoon. My appetizer was a serving of "Dates a Cheval". Art Priori amps up the classic bacon wrapped dates with a generous serving of goat cheese. The tanginess of this cheese is a delicious balance of the date's sweetness.Although it was a beach day, I was feeling fancy and not just looking for a burger (which they do have on the menu). Instead I enjoyed their Pozharsky cutlet. Served on a bed of mashed potatoes and chopped mix veggies, this is ground chicken breaded in cracker crust and flavored in a mushroom sauce. I enjoyed the original presentation and flavor.Topped with fresh berries and a light drizzle of honey, a yummy medovik (honey layer cake) closed off my very tasty lunch. This Eastern European classic is a must have!"
