Came here for a fabulous brunch on Father's day. Made the reservations in advance through an app and appreciated the valet ready in the front. We had comfy couch seating next to the live jazz band and the picturesque water decor. The place is spacious but gets crowded. Our server was the best as there was no need for anything. He came with it all before even asking. The food was absolutely delish and the variety was abundant. There was every variety available it seemed and everything from omnivore and vegetarian and everything in between existed. From fresh seafood, to dim sum to sliders, to the fresh meat, fish and lamb cooked to your choice and brought to you. There was also caviar, crepes, fresh made to order eggs and omelets, sliders, fruit, fresh sushi, and it just goes on and on. Not to mention all the desserts...from the Basque cheesecake to carrot cake, to matcha, I mean you really get all that and entertainment in a beautiful setting. They also gave out free hats to all the Father's. My family and I enjoyed pur full bellies and the whole ambiance of brunch. You must come! read more

Was there on a Sunday for a business dinner, sat at the bar first for an amazing experience. Your bartender lady was very professional and very courteous. We proceeded to go to the outside dining room area where we sat around the center water site, the dinner was outstanding so was the service. Also the value for the experience was very fair. I will definitely be coming back. This place is an example of good service, beautiful location and great value Other restaurants in the Miami Beach area should take note. read more

I came here for a belated birthday brunch, and it was such a great choice. The all-you-can-eat brunch was definitely worth it, and having mimosas and espresso martinis included made it even better. After brunch, we hung out at the indoor bar for a few more drinks and had an amazing time. Didn't take too many pictures because I really was having a good time. The staff was outstanding from start to finish; servers and bartenders alike were attentive, friendly, and made sure our glasses were never empty. The food was a solid 8/10, but the atmosphere really stole the show. The decor, ambiance, and overall vibe made the experience feel special. I'd absolutely recommend this spot for a birthday celebration, brunch with friends, or just a fun weekend outing! read more

We made a reservation for a Sunday at 9:30 AM for Mother's Day. We were a party of 5 and they had a buffet style breakfast. My mom absolutely loved it. I think her favorite part was the omelette station, you can choose what ingredients you desire and they make the omelette fresh. I also loved the omelette station, it's such a personalized dining experience. You can sit for a total of 2 hours and enjoy a wonderful breakfast experience. There was so many things to chose from. I absolutely loved the French toast, it came with a caramelized banana on top. It was as if I was enjoying some banana bread, the French toast was so soft to the bite. The service was wonderful. Everyone was extremely attentive. Parking is valet which is a flat rate of $40 if you are only there for breakfast. It goes up in price after 4 hours I believe. You can also park in a garage that's down the street which is way cheaper, if you don't mind walking a bit. Overall, we absolutely loved this spot for breakfast. I want to come back and try their lunch experience. read more

Went this past Sunday for dinner to celebrate my birthday with my sister. It's always nice to go somewhere that you can dress up and wear heels to! The restaurant is beautiful and our waiter was very kind. There was also a live DJ and at one point there was a performance from an aerialist. While we enjoyed our time here, I'm giving 4 stars because we found the food to be so-so. It was not bad, but also not great for a place that's considered upscale dining. We ordered: 1) Crispy Tuna Rice ($29) - Crispy Sushi Rice, Tuna, Spicy Mayo, Scallions, Jalapeño. 2) Teriyaki Mushrooms ($23) - Seasonal Mushrooms, Crispy Leek, Brussel Sprouts, Cilantro 3) Black Truffle Dumplings ($24) - Shrimp & Scallop, Shaved Truffles, Black Truffle Emulsion 4) Jaya Cucumber Salad ($19) - Tahini Miso Dressing, Tomato, Red Onion, Tofu, Ito Togarashi, Sesame Seeds 5) Hong Kong Style Sea Bass ($54) - Chilean Sea Bass, Ginger, Scallion, Herb Infused Soy, Cilantro 6) Prickly Pear Margarita ($22) - Corazón Tequila Blanco, Cointreau, Prickly Pear, Agave, Citrus, Lime Wheel 7) Strawberry Lemonade ($8) 8) Pistachio Soft Serve ($29) - Toasted Brown Butter Kataifi, Candied Pistachio 9) Hildon Sparkling Water ($10) A 20% service charge is already included so with that plus sales & county tax, the bill was $284.27. We found the food to be lacking in flavor and a bit bland. We were also disappointed with the Hong Kong Style Sea Bass as we expected a bigger piece of fish. While the food was whatever, I think the overall experience was still nice! However don't go having any high expectations about a fabulous delicious meal - go for the vibes, ha. read more

Went to Jaya's Champagne and Caviar brunch this past weekend and as usual it was spectacular. From the flowing drinks to the on the spot freshly made crepes it's hard to decide where the real star of the show is. The service is always impeccable, and the staff do their best to make sure all needs are met and go out of their way to please. My water was consistently topped off and I always had fresh clean silverware. The unlimited Champagne and mojitos were a great addition to a huge, high end buffet. We will definitely be back as the Setai has three of my favorite restaurants, Jaya, Japon and their Ocean Grill. read more

Wow this place is fun and cool! We went to dinner at Jaya at The Setai during a business conference and had such a great time. Between the tropical decor, inside-outside dining feel, and the incredible contortionist entertainment it was just icing on the cake that the food was delicious, too. We loved the crab dumplings as an appetizer. And I especially enjoyed my filet mignon. Service was really good to start, but our entrees (we were 8 people) came out in two different batches about 10 minutes apart which was a little odd. But overall, we had too much fun to care about one small issue. read more

Wow to this free flowing champagne and caviar brunch. One of my favorite brunches in the miami area. The service was like no where else. The staff was very attentive. I was a bit disappointed that when you walk in they immediately push the prosecco and Bellini. I came for the champagne and the caviar and not the prosecco or Bellini. Once we clarified what we wanted they took good care of us. The filet, fish and lamb grilled to order and brought to your table was delicious. My first order was brought to me well done! That was very disappointing and I should have sent it back. I did get another lamb chop that was perfect. They have lots of hot food with an amazing presentation. The seafood bar had oysters, tuna and ceviche and sushi. The dessert area was covered in berries and I was really looking forward to dine basque cheesecake. I begged for a piece without berries but my request was denied. The best they can do is scrape it off. I do not recommend this place for anyone with allergies. The lattes and teas were just what we needed to complete our meal. read more

Terrible service, disorganized, servers never came to check on table, had to request water multiple times, food took forever despite restaurant being half-empty on a Monday night. Giving 2 stars only because food was decent but portions were extremely small and misallocated for the group size (a single tiny bowl for a group of 5, charged $125 per person, seriously?) Avoid. read more

we went for the brunch and one thing I will say the ambiance and the service deserves 10 stars!! We did the champagne brunch and It was okay, for the price I fell there could have been a better selection but I will say the caviar service was delectable as well as the dessert table. Everything else really lacked flavor but the vibe is there!! I will also note other people have mentioned dinner is much better. read more

So I went to Jaya to celebrate my birthday this past weekend, March 7, 2026. While the restaurant itself is beautiful and the ambiance is nice the service from the hostess section to service at my table and the location was not great. The hostesses were rude and obnoxious brushing us to the side and telling us to wait. Waiting is not an issue but the manner in which we were spoken to is an issue. Then they seated us at the worst possible table in the restaurant next to the door the servers and bus boys come in and out of all night. I was dressed to the nines to celebrate and this is where they decided to seat us. Terrible. This is not the experience I would expect of a restaurant of this caliber. They failed me on my special night. Super disappointed read more

Had a wonderful brunch here. The options are plentiful, drinks are included, and atmosphere is really nice. There is certainly something for everyone at the buffet from freshly cooked meat and fishes to prepare prepared foods and omelettes. Service was good, but they do not fool around about the two hour time limit. At exactly the two hour mark the waiter came to tell us it was time for us to leave not great when you have a table of 10 people. But all in all we enjoyed it. read more

This place was very quiet when we arrived but by the time we left the line was out the door. It turns out they have performers that are spectacular that we missed out on. The service was impeccable however the food was not what I expected. The cucumber salad was very bland. The chicken drumsticks were the best thing we ate. The shrimp fried rice had an awkward presentation. The branzino was delicious. read more

One of the most memorable meals we had in Miami. The decor's obviously stunning but the vibes are related-- they are child friendly! My 4 year old loved the meal and ate more here than any other meal we had in Miami... she has bougie taste lol They kindly advised which dishes were spicy or can be tweaked for a child's palate. We requested a table by the water for dinner and they honored it! The chef is south asian so the south asian dishes were a hit but he executed east asian dishes so well too! We had a great combo of both and were fully satiated and satisfied with our experience. Would definitely come back the next time we're in town! Recommend: read more

A great place to go out at night and enjoy good food and a great show in a nice and crowded place; The Setai. The atmosphere is full of energy; however, expect a noisy night with good music and some delays in the service, which our server was very polite anyways. The shows are great and makes the waiting more pleasant. Paid parking available and Valet as well. read more

I'm glad I made a reservation. I'd highly recommend making a reservation if you are planning on singing during peak hours. The food menu option list is quite lengthy with a variety of options. The drummer appetizers were a tasty start. Next, was the fish. The fish was tasty. The ambiance had very modern feel. This place is not under staffed so you will not have to wait terribly long for your food or service. I liked that. I would come back. read more

Jaya at the Setai absolutely delivered. I took my boyfriend and his friends for their caviar and champagne brunch and it was worth every dollar. It is a buffet style brunch priced at $110 per person and the selection was incredible. So much food and everything we tried was delicious and fresh. The drinks were included and they had espresso martinis, different mojitos, mimosas, and more, all really well made. The DJ set the vibe perfectly and the whole space is just beautiful. The service was also top tier, every single person on staff was attentive and kind. We all had such a great time and honestly had no complaints at all. I would absolutely recommend this brunch!! 11/10 read more

I dined here with my family and enjoyed the experience. A meal here is NOT cheap. You come here to spend like you have money to burn. I came here on a holiday and this would be our big special dinner spot with my kids. I booked this place specifically since it was kid friendly. It's still fancy so if you have have well behaved kids this is a nice spot everyone can enjoy. The food is a mixture of Southeast Asia and Indian. It's exactly the kind of food I love, even if majorly overpriced. I ended up getting the Pad Thai ($32) with chicken substituted for the shrimp. My partner got the the chicken makhani, which was fantastic with the thick creamy tomato sauce and the side of rice and naan. I think I had half of his while I ate most of my Pad Thai. There was also a special kids menu with the basics. My kids got the spaghetti (amazing, as I tried a bite) and the mini cheeseburgers. I mainly booked this place for the performances. These are VERY short. I'm talking like 2 minutes so set your expectations! The performances start at 8 PM and rotate every 30 minutes. So if you're traveling with kids, that is a pretty small window! We got to this spot around 7 PM and walked 2 shows during our visit. We loved that, but wish they started the shows a little earlier. Overall this was a fun experience. Pricey, but a memorable meal out! read more

Went to a Sunday Jazz brunch at Jaya and I think it makes sense to compare it to another iconic Miami buffet brunch. First of all, the restaurant itself is gorgeous with an abundance of natural light, water views, and peaceful music. I really liked how spacious it was, with plenty of room between tables. The buffet line was inside the hotel, separate from the main seating area, which was a great decision. No people carrying plates over your head while you eat. Plus, the lines were much shorter and moved way faster than at another buffet brunch. For a final price of $140 per person (including tax and tip), you get an all-you-can-eat buffet plus unlimited drinks and alcohol for two hours. The buffet includes an omelet station, meats, seafood, veggies, baked goods, and desserts. All the food was solid and delicious, but the seafood and desserts stood out the most. What made it totally worth the money for me was the real caviar (not the imitation kind you get at some other brunch spots *wink*) and the cocktail bar. The service was on another level of attention, which you don't usually expect from a buffet. They never let your glass go empty, brought made-to-order meat and seafood, and even surprised us with a beautifully decorated dessert plate for a celebration. The only people who might not get the most out of the experience are those who don't eat seafood or drink. Otherwise, it's a fantastic choice for celebrating any occasion with brunch. read more

One of the most stunning outdoor restaurants in Miami Beach without a doubt. We had lunch at their courtyard patio and tried several dishes. We thought there would be more Indian options besides the overhyped Indian samosa as their head chef is Indian but for lunch, menu was limited. Japanese leaf salad was art on a plate and that miso dressing was delicious. Tuna tartare was one of my favorite appetizers as the crisp reminded me of an Indian flatbread. The dimsum were nothing special, go to Tropical Chinese if you want dimsum, we had the har gau shrimp dumplings (4) and truffle dumplings (4) but have had better dimsum. For main, we ordered the vegetable fried rice, salmon panang curry (very good), tofu panang with vegetable curry and vegetable pad thai w/ cauliflower, zucchini and asparagus. Would have given this review 5 stars but our waitress was apathetic which is what we've come to expect from south beach where service is auto added irrespective of it being deserving or not. Also their portions are small albeit it's lunch, but prices are dinner prices but perhaps that's also something I need to level set expectations given the crazy growth in Miami. read more

What a beautiful experience at Jaya at The Setai for their Sunday Brunch! It's a two-hour indulgence in the finer things--eat, drink, relax, and do it all over again.

It is very rare for a restaurant in Miami Beach that has some of the best ambiance in the world to at the same time have a equal of an experience in terms of the palate. We ordered the salmon Panang curry which was great not to salty not to sweet with a wonderful balance and the Sea bass tikka which was the most perfectly cooked sea bass I have ever had in my whole career with a wonderful tamarind sauce that just gave it a whole new dimension. The crispy rice tuna can be skipped but I suggest trying it at least once . The reason being the tuna is not equal enough to the rice to justify it over other restaurants in the area. The bok Choy is also a must for a side as it goes really well with the flavors of the sea bass. The chili passion fruit martini was amazing as well The service was exemplary with the sommelier Yoga being one of the standouts in our experience as well as our server Arendale. Overall it's a 10/10 with the ambiance and the seafood quality making it a top destination for us in the South Beach area read more

This was my first dining experience in Miami September 2025. The hostess brought me to a two top table exactly at my reservation time. I enjoyed the Miami Spice dinner and also started with sushi and sashimi. The sommelier was very attentive and guided me to pick a white to pair with the sushi and dry red for my main courses. The acrobatic performance is the highlight of the dining experience. The dining room transforms as the night gets later, the lights dim and the water pools reflect. My friend joined me right before the Miami Spice desert course. The server immediately visited the table to my friends drink order and brought settings so we could share dessert. The staff made me feel welcome and provided a well paced and professional dining experience. read more

Overall I would give this place 4.5 stars. We had a reservation on the weekend and were seated quickly, there is a nice ambiance with trendy music. I felt the food was pretty reasonably priced for this type of establishment and flavors were amazing. This is a southeast Asian/Indian fusion. I ordered the sea bass tikka which was so perfectly tender you don't even have to chew! I enjoyed the shows as well for Asian bazaar night, they start at 8pm, perform for about 5 minutes and rotate every 30 minutes with DJ performing in between. My only disappointment was with our server, who was not very attentive and did not bother to circle back with our requests. Otherwise I think it is worth going for the ambiance and overall experience! read more

Jaya is one of my favorite restaurants to dine at in Miami. I have been a few times and have never been disappointed. They serve Asian and Indian inspired dishes. So many options and the ones I have had have been tasty! They offer bottomless brunch Sundays which is so good and worth it!! And the champagne for brunch is good and not the cheap kind. Their dinner is also great! (Except the sushi which is basic and plain!) They have entertainment such as fire dancers and acrobatic dancers during the weekends for dinner and it makes the experience even more enriching and enjoyable. Overall, Food is great! Drinks are very good. And the service is always nice! Truly love this place! read more

Despite the food being great, I would never return to Jaya at The Setai due to the poor service. We had a large party of 12 for my birthday. We arrived early, checked in for our reservation, and still waited 45 minutes to be seated. When we were finally taken to our table, they squeezed all 12 of us into one of the smallest corner tables imaginable -- it was extremely uncomfortable and disappointing given the caliber of the restaurant. We also brought a birthday cake, fully expecting a standard cake-cutting fee. However, we were shocked to learn they charge a fee per person, not per cake. I've dined at many fine restaurants around the world and have never encountered such a policy. It's the equivalent of bringing your own bottle of wine and being charged a corkage fee for every glass poured -- it makes no sense. If we had shown up 45 minutes late to our reservation, we most certainly wouldn't have been seated -- yet the restaurant showed no respect for our time or occasion. It's a shame, because the food and atmosphere were lovely, but the management and service completely ruined the experience. read more

Really great vibes! Food was ok but something was lacking. We got the tuna tartare (our favorite dish of the night), truffle dumplings (ok but nothing special) and pad Thai (good but not groundbreaking). We didn't go on a night where there was entertainment but I'm sure that's super fun. read more

I want to give this place 5 stars extremely bad. The only reason why I'm not is because the tables we sat at have a bar directly behind us, which made the dinner experience of it feel more like a club than a dinner. The food itself was fantastic, check the photos. The fish was incredibly fresh. And we didn't have a single thing that we didn't enjoy. The service was solid and the drinks were delicious as well. They do a cool show on the weekends which was really incredible to see. I love this place, just hope we get seated not next to the bar next time. Cheers! read more

We visited this restaurant for a nice dinner. I would rate it a 3.5 stars. Our server was very attentive and in that aspect 5 stars. We were seated inside, which was comfortable and quieter so we were able to have conversation. We were still able to see the little shows they had every 30 mins starting at 8pm. It seemed the performances were only about 10 mins or less. Where they lost stars was with my Peking duck. We ordered Peking duck, bone-in ribeye and the steak fries. The ribeye was delicious but notibily had quite a bit of fat on it. The steak fries were so good! However, the Peking duck is one of their signature dishes and the duck was on the drier side, the pancakes that came with it seemed like it had been sitting under the heater for a while because they were on the drier side as well and stuck together. The cucumber was shriveled like they were cut a long time ago. For a signature dish, I was pretty disappointed. read more

It's a nice intimate restaurant and kids are welcomed. The entertainers start at 8pm and do a 5 minute dance or acrobatic routine every 30 minutes until 10pm. That's what drew me to visit.

The lamb chops were good, it's only a serving of 4 pieces I didn't like the food but I'm always up for a new experience. read more

We went for Miami spice, the food was kind of a mixed bag but the best part is the ambiance and the show. In my main course some of the steak was uncooked in the middle but I ate around it.

We recently dined at this posh restaurant at The Hotel Setai in Miami Beach. To celebrate my niece's birthday, she made reservations for seven people several weeks ago. We arrived well before our reservation time. However, because the valet line was several cars deep, we made it in just within the 20-minute grace period. While waiting in the beautiful hotel lobby, we had a couple of cocktails. It was an older crowd, but there were also couples with young children and young people dining. The dress code is casual elegant--steering clear of sportswear, beachwear and "exceedingly revealing clothing". They offer a weekend brunch from about 11 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. and dinner is served daily from 6-11 p.m. I don't recommend little ones for an evening at an upscale restaurant like this, but that's a personal preference. We sat near the stage and DJ, where we saw two performances. We shared appetizers and went straight to our main course, which I wish we could have shared because everyone was so happy with their choices--I wanted some of theirs too! By the end of the evening, everyone agreed that we would be back. We sang happy birthday to my niece with the cake she brought at an extra fee, followed by complimentary macaroons that our server surprised my youngest daughter with for her birthday which was a few hours later. Suffice to say that if you are celebrating anything, please don't miss out and consider Jaya at The Setai. The food, performers, DJ, and the personable service were all truly amazing. read more
