Extremely disappointing experience -- I would not recommend MesaMar…read more I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I feel other diners should know what happened. We made our reservation through OpenTable for 9:45 PM. OpenTable was showing reservations available as late as 11:00 PM, so there was absolutely no indication that arriving at 9:45 would be a problem. We arrived around 9:30 and were seated promptly. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. We were served bread and ordered dinner. Our salad arrived in a plastic dish, which seemed completely out of place at an expensive restaurant and especially strange because the restaurant was not particularly busy. My wife is a very clean eater and a pescatarian and ordered the fresh catch of the day (snapper) specifically as a whole grilled fish. When it arrived, it looked fried, smelled fried, and tasted fried. We questioned the preparation because it clearly did not appear grilled. Even our server seemed uncertain and went back to the kitchen to check. At that point we were also informed that the kitchen was already closed at approximately 10:00 PM. That is difficult to understand when OpenTable was accepting reservations through 11:00 PM. My wife therefore could not have the fish replaced with what she had actually ordered, nor could she order something else. She essentially had no dinner. I had ordered a shrimp dish with a sauce and asked for some additional bread to enjoy with the sauce. Again, we were told the kitchen was closed. Instead of bread, we were brought potato chips (to enjoy the sauce with?) To make matters worse, we asked for the manager and were told that he had already left for the evening, so there was no one available with the authority to address the situation. The server seemed completely paralyzed about what to do. Despite my wife not eating the incorrectly prepared fish and being unable to order a replacement, we were charged full price for it. I do want to make one thing very clear: our server was a nice guy who was trying his best under circumstances that apparently were beyond his control. I was so unhappy with the overall experience that I genuinely did not feel like leaving a tip, but I also did not think it was fair to punish him for management and kitchen failures, so I still left him 20%. (still less that I might have otherwise left). The evening was essentially ruined. My wife left hungry, it was too late to reasonably start over somewhere else, and what should have been an enjoyable dinner became an exercise in frustration. For an expensive seafood restaurant, customers should be able to expect that their food will be prepared as ordered, that a kitchen will remain operational when the restaurant is still accepting reservations, and that someone in management will be available when a significant problem occurs. I DO NOT RECOMMEND MesaMar. Miami has far too many excellent restaurants and seafood options to accept an awful experience like this. This is not an establishment that respects its customers. Spend your hard earned money at a place that cares more about its customers.

Can't believe me so long to make it out here! This restaurant is ran like a well-oiled machine…read more Everyone is on the same page and service is quick. We arrived with no reservation and were seated at the high top tables near the bar. My only complaint is the table is pretty small for four people to share, we had to remove the decoration light to make room. Starting with the tuna tartare, it was one of the bigger ones I've been served. It was delicious and fresh. The Bacalao croquettes were good, kinda like a creamier fish stick. The shrimp crème was so good mixing it with the rice and sauce. At first I thought it wasn't a lot of shrimp but I surprised myself by getting full. My family enjoyed their meals as well. The desserts were good. The limoncello dessert was recommended but unfortunately i found the flavors to not mesh well at all. The mousse was delicious

My friend and I came here for lunch to try the Miami Spice menu. We were given the regular menus,…read morebut we already knew what we wanted to order from the MS menu. The poor waiter was completely alone, seating people, taking orders, and bringing out the food! Still, he was able to take care of everyone (6 tables) and the service never suffered! For our appetizer we both ordered the ceasar salad. I loved mine! It was clearly a homemade dressing. The croutons were also homemade. One of the best ceasar salads I've ever had. My friend doesn't like anchovies so she only took a couple of bites. The only other appetizer available on the MS menu was fried mozzarella. Our waiter brought out some focaccia bread and put some olive oil and vinegar on a plate for us. For my entree I ordered the Chicken Farcito. It's a chicken breast topped with fresh spinach and mozzarella melted on top. That's set on mashed potatoes and then it's covered in a Jack Daniel's cream sauce. It was AH-MAZING! Sooooooo good!!!! But I was full about halfway through. My friend ordered the Linguine tre funghi. I tried it and it was VERY GOOD! I would have ordered that, if I didn't order the chicken. She loved it too. It was very flavorful. It looked like a small portion, but she was also full halfway through her meal. We had both ordered the ricotta and pistachio cake for our desserts. We got them and our leftovers to go. My dessert melted in the car, so I don't have a picture of it. It was delicious though! I had never heard of this restaurant before seeing it on the Miami Spice list. I'm so glad that they're participating in MS. Otherwise I would have never tried it. I love this restaurant! The service, the food, the ambiance. Everything is great! I look forward to returning again soon.

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere filled with lively energy. It's my second visit, and it's…read moreclear many patrons are regulars, which adds to the welcoming vibe. The buzz in the restaurant and bar area is contagious reminiscent of the lively chaos in your mom's kitchen during Thanksgiving. The food was nearly flawless. I started with the Caesar Salad and bruschetta both simply delicious. The dressing was perfectly tangy, and the bruschetta was generously portioned and expertly seasoned. For my main, I chose the Eggplant Parm, an enormous portion. The cheese was generously layered, perhaps more than usual. The dish was fresh, hot, and incredibly flavorful. The sauce had a nice kick without being spicy. My mom ordered the Capellini Primavera, substituting pink cream sauce for oil and adding plenty of garlic; another huge portion. Absolutely loved it. A solid 10/10. Anna, our waitress, was outstanding, serving with remarkable speed and warm professionalism. Regret not taking pictures of our dish!!

This Italian restaurant is the kind of place that quietly ruins other Italian restaurants for you…read more The food isn't just "good" or "solid." It's cooked to perfection. The pasta has that exact bite it's supposed to have. The sauces taste like someone's nonna has been guarding the recipe since 1952. Everything feels authentic, not in the gimmicky, red-checkered-tablecloth way, but in the "this is how it's actually done" way. The atmosphere seals the deal. It's warm, cozy, and welcoming without trying too hard. Soft lighting, relaxed energy, the kind of place where you sit down for dinner and somehow three hours disappear. It feels intimate without being cramped, lively without being loud. You can have a real conversation without shouting over someone's birthday party. And then there's the wine situation, which is almost absurd in the best way. The bottles are sold at cost. At cost. Like they woke up and decided profit margins were optional. The selection is massive, stretching across regions and styles, and staring at the list is borderline overwhelming. In a good way. Whether you're a casual sipper or someone who can pronounce Montepulciano correctly, you'll find something exceptional. In short: authentic food, flawless execution, cozy atmosphere, and a wine list that feels like you stumbled into a secret. It's the kind of place you want to gatekeep... but also immediately tell everyone about.
