Came here on Saturday night and I had so much fun. Great drinks, amazing live music, attentive service from the main waiter (and support staff). Would love to go back and sample some more goodies from here. The branzino with coconut rice was absolutely delectable. Would recommend. The Fish croquettes were also extremely yummy. It hit the right spot.

This place should be ashamed to say they serve Cuban food. With all the great restaurants in Miami and all the good Cuban restaurants in the city (and on this street), I wouldn't waste my time eating here. The look of the place is awesome but the food is honestly awful. Another one of those Instagram worthy spots with garbage food. The service left so much to be desired and the parking is also difficult. - The waitress did not bring all the drinks or even ask everyone at the table what they wanted to drink. - The milanesa had no cheese and was basically a large greasy chicken nugget. -The congri rice was OLD RICE AND WAS STONE COLD. Also, what Cuban restaurant has no beans and charges extra for plantains? I only know because the only side for the overpriced food is white rice. - I asked for fries for my kids with no toppings and I was ignored. The waitress said it was fine and didn't change them. - I ordered an entree for my kids to share as they don't have a kids menu and they offered to split it for us on two plates. They offered and then didn't split it. - The pork chunks were covered in sauce, dry, and cold. I guess the sauce was the cover the fact that they taste old. My husband had one bite and sent it back. He never ever sends stuff back so it had to be pretty terrible. The waitress started questioning him and rolled her eyes at him. Then they tried to charge us for the food that was sent back. - They brought out a dessert for my mom and literally handed her the candle. They put the candle in her hand on fire. Like are they serious? I have attached a photo because that is literally wild. My family eats out every week and I never leave reviews that are this harsh but they ruined my moms birthday dinner. I will never set foot in this spot again. I'm sure they will be closed within the next couple months. You could eat anywhere else on 8th street and have a better experience.

We went for a social happy hour and we were not disappointed! We were seated promptly and our server brought over some water.We had many tapas and all were delicious. The ambience was great, with great background music.Will definitely go back!

The place is small and the dancing is done right in front of the entrance, you have to struggle to get in and out, which is very awkward and challenging. We ordered the ropa vieja and the churrasco and although the taste was good they were extremely salty. When the server brought the check there was the option of paying online using their QR code and I paid, as we were walking out the waitress came running after us accusing us of walking out without paying, she didn't verify that I had already paid before assuming and accusing us in front of other diners of trying to skip out on the bill. That was very humiliating and inexcusable. This is a NTR ( Never to Return ) restaurant.

Let me upgrade you Social 27, for helping me celebrate my "19th*" Birthday this weekend! I had left my birthday planning to the super last minute this year, but remembered the tasty times I've had here, whether their mojitos outside during Calle Ocho or a dinner date during a good friend's recent Miami trip.We were a a group of around 10, and the hostess was more than happy to accommodate a la carte without a preset menu. This was perfect to accommodate the varied dietary choices of our group. Once we got there, factoring in Miami time, we had a large table in the inside dining room where we were attended by Ingrid and various other members of the team. Even Chef Justin came by our table!I picked their Bolitas de Yuca appetizer, little pieces of steamed Yuca flavored with gruyere & parmesan cheeses along with the yummy contrast of black pepper and sweet honey. Being a meatatarian, my main was their Churrasco! Served medium well, it was tender, juicy and well seasoned with a tomato chimichurri & boniato (Cuban sweet potato). The slaw with red onion that accompanied it was nicely refreshing. I also added perfectly crispy thin sliced tostones (fried green plantains). Between their classic Zacapa mojito, a refreshing pina colada with a real pineapple slice for garnish & a tableside-prepared rum old fashioned with orange garnish, chocolate bitters and a smokey flavor, my thirst was sated.Since a birthday calls for cake, Chef Justin and his squad prepared a yummy cake with hints of guava, passion fruit and garnished with pieces of flan. Between the yummy food and the company of good friends who also enjoyed their plates..thank you Social 27 for a memorable evening.

This restaurant is spectacular. The vibe is super cool and very well thought out. The cocktails were bomb! Loved the old fashion and old Cuban. Yuca bites and croquettas were flavor bombs. Dessert was tasty. Steak and vaca frita cooked perfectly. Service was quick and very attentive.

Highly impressed by the food, ambiance, and service! We came in as a party of ten for A fellow yelper's bday and they accommodated us beautifully. A nice table indoors off to the side of the restaurant. Now what is good about this restaurant is the "L" shape design were the acoustics favor the inside seating. The band faces the outside area and patio seating so the loudness travels in that direction making the inside part less loud. We can speak to each other while still listening to the music. That's the sweet spot right there! The food was delicious! It's like a Cuban fusion. Everything ordered was spectacular. The drinks were super nice as well. The flan cake that they presented our friend with was so delicious when they sang him happy birthday. Super good Cuban coffee too. Service was on point the whole night. I highly recommend checking this spot out!

New spot on Calle ocho we wanted to try out for brunch. Ambience was SUPER cute (I love what they did with the outside area) . They had light chill music playing in the background and service was GREAT. Indoor, outdoor and bar seating. Food on the other hand was ok. There's no brunch menu so we ordered a few apps to share: chorizo croquetas were very good, pork belly's were too but I didn't love the lemon sauce it was in, tostones and avocado were decent, steak was very well cooked but I could have done without the sweet potato's. Full bar but since there isn't brunch menu there wasn't a mimosa deal either so we got a bottle of Prosecco for $50. Overall it was a nice spot to check out but was on the pricier side. Bill came out to 170.

We started with the mango lemonade, it was delicious. We had the yuca bites and porkbelli both yummy appetizers. We had the churrasco with truffle fríes and at the end we had a flan and very good rum cake. The server was very attentive and provided good service. The ambience is very tropical and they play salsa music.

Beautiful interior and a great dining experience! Came in for happy hour and the drinks were amazing. We tried various cocktails and LOVED every single one. Personal favorites Pina Colada & Old Cuban. The chorizo croquetas were mouth watering. Seating both inside and outside. Staff was kind and attentive. *happy hour Monday-Friday 4-7 throughout the whole restaurant* Street parking directly in front of the restaurant on 8th street.
