    Croissant and Build your own Omelette
    Jesined C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Portion size split between 5, this is $125 per person

    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.

    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

    Cucumber salad

    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.

    We had a blast at this place. The service was great we popped in on a weekday and they still had entertainment. The food was great. I definetely favor this place over Mila.

    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.

    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

    Blinis with caviar
    Marharyta K.

    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.

    The food itself wasn't pretty okay but the ambiance and the hotel itself was beautiful.

    Vegetable tofu panang curry
    Min A.

    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.

    Where else you park to avoid valet parking? (I have a delicate car)

    There's street parking. But that's about it. I believe

    What's the best time to book a table on a Saturday or Friday night if you want to see the show?

    We had a 730 reservations and saw like 4 dances on that day.

    How do I make reservations? Not answering the phone?

    OpenTable

    Can women wear a blouse, dress shorts and heels for brunch?

    Yes! That's a great Miami evening outfit. It's warm, and in Miami, dress to impress so channel that to your outfits!

    Are there performances on Wednesdays?

    Yes! They have performances every evening! Sunday through Wednesday it's 8-9pm and Thursday- Saturday they have an array of performances ranging from belly dancers to fire dancers , contortionists , Dj , etc from 8-10pm . I hope this helps :)… Read more

    What time do performances start on Sunday night any suggestions on seating preferences?

    Performance starts at 8ish.... Seating preference depends on availability. But If you can try to request sitting next to the stage... by the water. It's great!

    What time are they performing on Sunday night?

    probably late night, i did not see performances before 11

    What times do the performers come out on Friday nights currently?

    I was there around 8:30 pm and there were performances already going on

    Do you need reservations ? and is this restaurant for all ages?

    Reservations are strongly suggested. It's attached to a hotel so I'm assuming all ages foe dining should be fine.

    Do they have kids menu?

    I was just there in December and didn't see one...mind you I also didn't ask for one. You may just want to call to be sure.

    What time does the show start at the dinner?

    I think it's ongoing through the whole dinner time which starts at 5

From the moment we arrived, the ambiance and location created the perfect atmosphere for a special evening. The food truly exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend the Miso Black Cod -- it was phenomenal and had the same rich, buttery texture as Chilean sea bass. Absolutely delicious. The Wagyu Burger was also outstanding -- freshly ground, high quality, and cooked perfectly. We also tried one of their sushi rolls topped with miso and filled with fresh tuna and salmon, and it was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Our server (I didn't catch her name -- an Asian woman, possibly in her 40s) was wonderful and made our experience even more enjoyable with her attentive and warm service. We truly loved this place and are already looking forward to coming back, especially to explore more of their sushi menu. Highly recommend!

Booked same-day on OpenTable, seated immediately on a packed Friday night. The covered terrace is stunning -- Japanese paper lanterns, string lights, tropical foliage. The Dragon Fruit Lemonade mocktails arrived orchid-garnished and vivid fuchsia. My Wahakan Old Fashioned came with a single spherical ice ball in a crystal-cut glass. Food highlights: Baby Corn in parmesan cream with paprika was the dish of the night. Crispy Truffle Fried Rice hearty and satisfying. Miso soup clean. Salmon Furai solid. Sushi enjoyable though the rice lacks the refinement of Miami's top raw bars. Vegetarians: limited options -- one Veggie Roll and uncertain tofu preparation when we asked to add it to the rice. Service warm but plates were cleared twice while we were still eating. On billing: 20% service charge added automatically, then the receipt suggests an extra 2-5% tip on top -- worth knowing upfront. OpenTable users: if you're redeeming a Dining Reward card, the staff hadn't encountered one before -- but the manager handled it graciously and honored the full amount without issue. Family-friendly, fair value, genuinely memorable evening.

Everyone on the staff was smiley, friendly and helpful. The Happī Hour menu stands out as one of the best values in the area. I had 2 Classic Mojitos, Shrimp Cocktail, Lumpia Shanghai Roll, Pinoy BBQ Skewers and Kurobuta Corn Dogs from the Happī Hour menu. From the full menu, I had Salmon Tiradito, and the Chocolate Smores Cake a La Mode for dessert. Standouts for me were the Salmon Tiradito which had a beautiful presentation. It comes plated like a work of art with gooseberry, fresno chili, annatto oil, mustard oil, sea salt, white nikirisoy aioli. Wish I had taken a photo. This is the only place I ever order corn dogs (and I ALWAYS order them here) which are made with a Japanese sausage and come with a special spicy mustard that gives it an interesting, gourmet kick. Don't go heavy on the mustard if you're sensitive to spice. Hot! I am told the Chocolate Smores Cake a La Mode is inspired by the owner's son, and it is magnificently-plated and delicious. This is not the campfire version of S'mores. This is the haute cuisine version. You cannot beat Sushi Bichi on quality of food and experience for the price, especially during the Happī Hour which runs 4-6:30pm. You can walk onto the beach after your meal, if you'd like. It's right there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Parking tip: there is a large public lot on Collins Avenue around the corner that I've always found a spot in. Short walk to Sushi Bichi.

Rainbow roll was also great. We also got the oyster mushroom skewer and the eggplant skewer. Eggplant skewer absolutely outshined the other one. Totally get the eggplant. Dessert was great! Matcha tres leches was a stunner. Mochi came with 4 flavors, banana, passion fruit, mango, and birthday cakes. Best was birthday cake and banana. Ralph was our server. Great presence. Down to earth.

First of all, the vibes were immaculate. We sat outside and it was so peaceful at first because I think we were literally the first people there for happy hour/lunch. It felt like we unlocked a secret level before the crowd came. Perfect weather, great energy, good music, cute scenery... very "main character with a discounted cocktail" energy. Now let's talk FOOD. Every single dish we ordered was SO flavorful. Like somebody in that kitchen actually believes in seasoning and I just want to personally thank them for their service. Even the fries??? And let's have a serious conversation because not all fries deserve rights. Especially those thick overly battered fries that feel like you're chewing on drywall. These fries were thin, crispy, flavorful, perfectly seasoned... exactly how fries should be. No unnecessary jacket on them. Just vibes. The tuna tartare was AMAZING. Fresh, flavorful, light, addictive. I could've ordered another one and acted like it was "for the table." The calamari was cooked perfectly too. Nice and airy, tender, not rubbery. You know how some calamari fights back when you chew it? Not this one. Peaceful calamari. The edamame with the chunky sea salt was weirdly one of my favorite things. So simple but SO good. And the Korean wings??? BABY. Those were "cancel your evening plans and order another round" wings. We don't say "to die for" anymore because positivity, growth, healing... but let's just say I would dramatically think about those wings again later. The drinks were great, the prices during happy hour honestly felt fair, and our waiter was SO sweet and attentive the entire time. Overall, I would absolutely come back.
