Potato Huancaina
Lauren W.

This is a local and great spot for Peruvian food! It's one of my favorite spots to eat in general, as I'll occasionally crave their huancaina spaghetti with steak - it's so creamy and the steak is so tender. My absolute favorite! The portions on any dish are very large, sharing is highly recommended Inside is well kept, clean and also undergoes periodic renovations to remain updated. Service is always so attentive and the staff is very personable and friendly!

Name of the restaurant.

Another fabulous meal at La Perla in Kendall. The food and service was fantastic!!!! I definitely will be back again very soon!!!

This is a great spot for typical Peruvian food. Fresh ceviche and seafood. Authentic desserts prepared well. The service was attentive, prompt, friendly. It has a relaxed family ambience. No loud music or disturbing scenes.

Chicha Morada
Stephanie B.

Best peruvian food in Kendall. Iv been going here for years with family and the quality never changes. Every time I visit the food is phenomenal, even with take out! My go-to order is always the Tallarines Verde with Chicha morada. The service here is top notch, friendly and attentive staff. Restaurant is always clean and such a good vibe. Definitely recommend this spot.

Mixed Ceviche
Melanie L.

Best Peruvian food in Miami. Amazing plates and portions, FAST service, and great environment. Always packed yet we never wait a long time. The entrees and ceviches are delicious. I go almost every weekend and they never disappoint!!

Pescado in yellow sauce
Joy B.

Been passing by this resto, not busy in the outside, but when we get in it was packed! So for a first timer, if we see a place so busy it means the food is great. And sure it is...first the ceviche, fresh and they made it spicy as how we asked it. Pescado with yellow sauce is really delicious compared to other peruvian restaurants we've been to. The Jalen mixta is also good but not the greatest. I wanted it more crispy and more breading on the calamaris. Service is a little slow, but it's because the resto is super busy when we got in. I'm not taking away points for it. Overall experience, great food, good vibes.

When you walk in a restaurant with a great name and all the tables are full of guest, you know the food is delicious. Place was packed! however that didn't matter because we ordered and our dinner was at the table in less than 10 minutes. Impressive. Plates are huge and delicious. Prices are excellent for the great food. Services is very good.

Fish! Fish galore!!!
Joe T.

Great find in a place outside my normal travels! Six of us went and found a delightful experience! The fish dish that was shared between myself and an equally hungry neighbor was handily the best fried fish I've had in a long time! We both were fully satiated by our meals and our wives, who shared other dishes, were equally pleased! I feel compelled to return to further explore the delights offered here! Our server was more than up to the task of getting us what we wanted, even though it was a mixed Spanish English conversation! Overall, this was a more than adequate experience and I look forward to doing it again!

Chicharon de pollo
William R.

Had an amazing experience and meal at La Perla. The food was exceptionally good and our server outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Ceviche callao
Connie G.

Great food! Had the ceviche and it was as if I was in Callao . You won't regret your decision. Servers are nice friendly and welcoming.

Picarones!!

Nothing like enjoying my bday weekend with friends at my fave live jazz bar in this area of Miami!…read moreWe called in on Saturday night and got a nice comfy half booth in the live music room right away. The room is so cool, staff is relaxed, cool and inviting. Tonight Ollie is onstage playing guitar, singing and taking all our favorite requests! We all sing along and have a great night of good food, good music, good drinks and great company of other live music enthusiasts! They have a fresh fish case stocked with great stuff including stone crab--The food is terrific! From my favorite raw bar starters, fish soup, sushi, whole fish, protein bowls, steak/chicken, kids choices, and the like. Menu is huge, something for everyone. The complimentary starter is fish dip and saltines. It Definitely sets the fish house mood! I love the decor--so jazzy, so mardi gras, so eclectic kitsch. It's just a relaxed fun time right on Miller Drive. Feels almost like a speakeasy! Aahhh, Miami--so chock full of these little unsung spots that you must be a local to know the secrets! All the fun is inside here. Check it out, it's all good at the Fish House. Thanks for following me, happy 2026! ~Tami in Miami

Visited this past Friday for Happy Hour. Had not been here in years…read more We have been to the one in Key Largo which is also fantastic. Nice and rustic ambiance, definitely seafood related decor. Welcomed to the table with crackers and seafood dip. I could eat a tub of the dip! Ordered two Margaritas for $6 each which were excellent in regular good size mug. Service was very good team effort. Appetizer was conch fritters, rather small, but tasty with dipping sauce. Lobster bisque on point, can eat a 5 gallon bucket of this easily. My wife had the fried shrimp with parsley potatoes. Tasty and enjoyable. I had the shrimp linguini covered in Parmesan sauce. Ate every bit of it even though I should of taken half home. Definitely recommend going for Happy Hour and save half the cost of dinner menu. Almost forgot Cuban Mojito to finish off the meal. Overall, just as good as the first time we came years ago. Go get yourself some !!!

Golden Rule Seafood is one of those South Florida spots that reminds you why you live here in the…read morefirst place. We brought my sister for her birthday lunch, and from the moment we sat down outside, it just felt right. Blue skies, that warm Miami breeze, the kind of afternoon that makes you slow down and actually enjoy the people you're with. Sitting on the patio along South Dixie Highway, you get that classic local seafood vibe without any pretense. Just fresh air, fresh fish, and good energy. Now let's talk about the service, because it deserves its own spotlight. I'm totally blind, and if you've followed my reviews before, you know I notice how places handle that. Our server was phenomenal. She was attentive without hovering, detailed without being overwhelming, and helpful without a hint of being patronizing. She clearly paid attention to where everything was placed, described the dishes in a way that made them come alive, and made sure I could navigate the table comfortably. That balance is rare. It's professionalism mixed with genuine care. Thank you for that. It mattered. And the food. Wow. We started with the tuna wontons and conch fritters. Both were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. The tuna was bright and clean, with just the right crunch from the wonton. The fritters were golden and crisp outside, tender inside, with that classic South Florida seasoning that makes you want "just one more." I had the lobster bisque, and it was rich without being heavy. Smooth, creamy, layered with flavor, and clearly made with real attention to detail. My sister's boyfriend ordered the shrimp tacos, and they were loaded, well-balanced, and packed with fresh seafood flavor. My wife had the grouper fillet, grilled to perfection. I sampled both my sister's blackened fish and my wife's grilled grouper. The blackened had that beautiful, slightly spicy crust that wakes up your palate without overpowering the fish. The grilled version had what tasted like an Old Bay style seasoning that complemented the natural sweetness of the grouper perfectly. Everything was cooked exactly right. Nothing overdone. Nothing rushed. Just quality seafood handled the way it should be. All in all, it was a fantastic birthday lunch. Great service. Great food. Classic South Florida atmosphere. And the best part for us, it's right near home, which means we'll absolutely be back. If you're looking for a relaxed, authentic seafood experience in Miami, Golden Rule Seafood delivers.

Golden Rule has a large Chickee Hut surrounded by lush, tropical landscaping. There's a fish market…read moreinside and you're able to order those fresh catches on the menu as well. My blackened grouper sandwich was delicious, but the portion seemed a bit undersized. The same could be said for the "bow" buns--great flavoring, but I was surprised there was only one shrimp per bun, and the order only came with a pair overall. My girlfriend also enjoyed her lobster bisque and side salad. They also had a nice list of craft beers to choose from & we'll certainly be back again, hopefully for some live music too.
