    drinks are great they even have one in a real coconut!
    Vartuhi O.

    Love, love love this place! It's literally right on the water with the best city and ocean view!! the food is amazing. They don't have that much of a selection compared to what I'm used to especially when it came to the couch of the day it's usually one or two different types of seafood. But I'm telling you even in the rain it's one of the most beautiful restaurants in all of Miami.

    Extra charges that they don't disclose upfront

    Food was ok but very expensive for latin American food. You can go to other places way cheaper with beautiful view and better food selection. They have so many hidden charges that they don't disclose upfront.

    Empanada paired with salad
    Latonya S.

    Delivers on offers a stunning view and seriously fresh food! The atmosphere is fantastic, and we highly recommend their flavorful salads and a pre fixed menu for lunch which featured swordfish with brocollini and a delicious, likely house-made flan for dessert. Pro Tip: Plan your visit for Sunday if you want the full brunch experience--no brunch Saturday! While our server was a bit slow, we noticed other tables getting consistent service, so it was likely an isolated incident. We definitely plan to return for that Sunday brunch!

    View? Spectacular. Food? Some highs, some serious lows. Customer Service? Have had better. Price? Ridiculous. Stopped in for lunch with my boyfriend recently and tried the Miami Spice menu plus a few extras. Here's the breakdown: The bad: * Prawns -- not fresh, sent back, but still left on the bill. Not cool. * Melon salad -- bland, flavorless. * Hamachi tiradito -- poorly sliced, awful texture, also not fresh. Same story: sent back, still charged. The good: * Ceviche -- fresh, bright, and flavorful. * Tuna carpaccio -- stunning presentation, equally delicious. * Chicken empanada -- like an entire Mexican meal wrapped in a crispy little pocket. Loved it. * Oysters -- plump, sweet, and perfectly fresh. All things considered, nearly half the dishes were either not good or sent back entirely, service didn't acknowledge it, and the bill was exorbitant. While I'd normally give a spot a second chance, this one's a pass. Miami has too many excellent seafood restaurants to waste time (and money) here.

    Been here once before but ran when i saw they were participating in miami spice! We sat inside due to the miami summer but they have a lovely view of the water. Last time we saw dolphins so keep an eye out! Theres also a boardwalk where you can walk off the meal! The appetizers were all delicious (we tried all 3 since we were a table of 3!) The croquettes were perfectly crispy and not oily at all something thats hard to perfect. The arugula salad was so simple yet full of flavor! The main dishes we also good but only complaint was the hard rice- tasted like overnight rice at the end of the pot. The desserts were both tasty but ill go with the chocolate cake. Highly recommend the miami spice menu especially if you haven't been.

    We had an amazing time at Amara at Paraiso's Sunday Brunch! The Endless Brunch Buffet was next level. everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. at $89 per person it felt well worth it for the quality and variety. After brunch we stayed at the bar, sipping drinks and enjoying the waterfront views. The atmosphere is laid-back yet upscale, making it the perfect spot to spend the whole afternoon with my wife and friends. Between the food, the drinks, great service and the unbeatable waterfront setting with a live Dj playing Amara at Paraíso really delivered. We'll definitely be back for another Sunday Brunch soon!

    10oz steak, vegetables, and seafood mix

    As you can see, my phone did NOT eat first, and that's for a reason. This restaurant was walking distance from our hotel and we liked that it was on the water. We didn't have a reservation but were seated right away at a waterfront table. Our service was attentive and came to us right away to get our drink orders and was happy to answer our questions about the menu. My friends and I ordered the Seafood Parillada, 10oz Skirt Steak, and side of vegetables to share. There were 4 of us and it was plenty of food for all of us. It's not often that you find a restaurant with good ambiance and good food, and this place surprisingly had both. This is a perfect spot for a date night or nice night out with friends.

    Great spot for happy hour! Located right on the water with indoor and outdoor seating and beautiful views. Good happy hour menu, great food and lovely drinks. They also do an amazing Sunday brunch. The service is always friendly, and the setting is ideal

    The view can't be beat. You're right on the bay and they have seating in the shade as well. I enjoyed the view, casual atmosphere and great service. The food was also good as well, but it wasn't the kind of meal I'd go back for. We had grilled octopus, NY strip, empanadas, a side of grilled vegetables and a chocolate tiramisu for dessert. The octopus was a bit dry and I didn't really enjoy the dessert. The steak was ok. Honestly, the empanadas and veggies were our favorite part of the meal, lol. The service/ambiance made up for it a bit, but it was an expensive experience for an OK meal.

    Ocean view
    Cristina R.

    This restaurant is gorgeous. That atmosphere is romantic, and the views are to die for of the ocean. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was awesome I really enjoyed the cheese puffs. They were my favorite, highly recommend.

    This is a review for the catering staff and restaurant! We went to an event for a family members wedding and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with passing out hors d'œuvres and drinks! The food was great. We had a starter course of tuna tartar with avocado créma and a entre course of some delicious chicken and grilled fish! The deserts were good, with the key lime pie being the hit and the chocolate fudge cake being good as well. The views from the balcony with the open roof was amazing and if I was a Miami native, I would understand if you spent all day at Amara!

    Amara at Paraiso is hands down one of the best waterfront dining spots in Miami. The view of Biscayne Bay is absolutely breathtaking, making it perfect for a special occasion or just a great night out. The ambiance is elegant yet relaxed, and the service was excellent--our server was attentive and made great recommendations. We started with the short rib empanadas and the yucca cheese puffs--both were delicious, though the empanadas were a bit on the doughy side. For the main course, we shared the seafood parrillada, which was fresh and flavorful, though I wish the portion was a little bigger for the price. Drinks were on point! I had the Amazonia cocktail, which was super refreshing. However, I noticed the happy hour menu could have had more food options. Overall, this place delivers a fantastic dining experience. A little pricey, but worth it for the quality, service, and unbeatable view. Would definitely return for brunch next time!

    Love the view of the sea, the staff were extremely nice and professional. The drinks were very good. The menu items that I ordered were the spicy prawns, the ceviche, the Cesar salad and the charred octopus were all very good. It is costly but you're getting top tier service with a view and I felt it was worth it.

    Went years back for brunch and the food and view were unbeatable! Service was friendly. Would definitely return for lunch or dinner.

    How much is the bottomless sips and is it offered on Fridays?

    Yes, our Bottomless Sips package is offered Monday through Sunday (every day!) from opening until 4pm!

    Around what price would you expect to pay for a dinner for 2?

    $100 for lunch.

    Is the Yucca cheese fritters Gluten Free? Are there Gluten Free options on the menu?

    The yucca puffs I don't think so. But they do offer some Gluten free options.

    Are you dog friendly for the outdoor dining?

    Yes we are! We even provide dog bowls for water and doggy treats!

    What is a quarantine pour? I keep seeing it on the menu

    Quarantine Pour is a larger glass of wine 9oz instead of 6oz.

    Do they have a kids menu or kid friendly off menu options?

    Yes they do but variety is very tiny. If your child is not picky their menu is kid friendly as well

    Does Amara at Paraiso except walks ins or is it reservation only? Is there bar seating?

    Yes, you can walk in.

    What drink specials are there for brunch? Bottomless?

    I believe Saturday has some form of bottomless. But Sunday does not. Only drink special on Sunday is $80 for a magnum of Prosecco which comes with OJ. To put in perspective, it was 3 of us and we each had 4 flutes of mimosas.

    I've been calling the last 2 days and leaving voicemails and sending emails and no one responds. Is there a different number I can call to get someone on the phone?

    No a problem we all have there. It's challenging fir the host to text on her phone AND answer the restaurant phone at the same time.

    Do they have happy hours?

    Yes

    Do they have a dj, music, brunch?

    Yes they do.

    Do they have brunch on Saturday?

    Yes, we offer Brunch on Sundays only from 11am until 3pm.

The empanada's were outrageous and the chimichurri that it (and the steaks) came with is one of the best I've ever had. It had the perfect amount of garlic in it. I also enjoyed a ribeye and a glass of cab sav. The steak was cooked perfectly, the potatoes that came with it were great. I mean, what more is there to say? This is a great steak house with great food and it is well priced. Service was excellent too. I'd recommend to put this on your list if you're visiting Miami and funny enough, my friend who lived in Miami, this is their favorite place to go.

This place has an energy that's hard to manufacture -- warm, lively, and genuinely fun. When Argentina is playing, it's a whole different level. The kind of atmosphere where you look up and realize hours have passed. Fair warning: it does get a little hot in there, but I'd sit there dripping sweat before I'd think about leaving early. That's how good it is. The service matches the energy -- attentive, genuine, and the kind that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. It's the full package. Now the food. I don't even know the name of the chicken cheeks dish, but I think about it. Whatever it is, order it. The entraña was cooked perfectly -- if you know Argentine cuts, you know how much that matters, and they nailed it. And then the dulce de leche crepe. I don't throw around the word incredible lightly, but there's no other word for it. Just get it. Don't leave without ordering the sangria either. It rounds out the whole experience exactly the way it should. Fiorito's is the real deal -- the food, the service, the atmosphere. One of those places you just keep coming back to.
