Love their sweetbreads and that mayo dip they use! Their bread is nice and fresh. I love Lo De Lea, this is honestly one of the only places I go to when I want steak. It's a romantic little spot with Dim lighting it's cozy and the staff is very attentive. I come here often and always get the same thing: the sweetbreads and the steak with potatoe salad and the Baby Bok Choy (sp). You cannot go wrong! read more

Such a cute restaurant right on Collins Ave. I'm a local and have driven past this place without ever seeing it. I'm so glad I found it on Yelp. We had wine and food and it was a lovely evening. Parking is limited so just call the restaurant if you're having a hard time parking. Definitely recommend! read more

This place is SOLID. I'm giving it 5 stars because you get what you pay for. For a $25 plate of meat, you won't find better in east Miami. Be patient with the service if it's busy. The square footage is a bit limited. The meat tastes like it was made by a gaucho in Argentina. You want better quality? Go to Francis Mallmann's restaurant and pay $150+ for a plate of meat. read more

Food & ambiance fantastic! Service was on point! Great to support locals! Great wine selection! Entrana was mouth watering!!! read more

Lo de Lea - Argentine Near Me - North Miami, Florida

Yes I have a party there the food is like always amazing and the services 100 I can ask for better thanks for everything

Can't get enough of this surprising oasis in an otherwise sketchy block of Biscayne. Fresh grilled meats, crispy vedge, delicious little carb bombs that grace the table first... affordable wines, icy-cold beers, specials every night. Personally, Im weak for the grilled half chicken with broccoli raab and sweet potatoes. Ken always has the lomo, medium rare. And the flaming crepes.. oh my god! read more

This place on Biscayne Blvd. on Miami's "upper east side" is probably the smallest restaurant in town, making it an upscale place, ideal for celebrating a night out with friends and family. A good selection of Argentine cuts of meat, salads and desserts, very rewarding to your palate. read more

I am a meat and veggie gal and this place fits the bill! We tried the mixed grill platter so had a variety of meats to try and I greatly appreciate the flexibility to order a variety of grilled veggies for the sides. The food was fabulous - we came because I had a hankering for blood sausage. It didn't disappoint. And a ton of food for the value and generous pour of the best Malbec! read more

Delicious special beautiful spot with delicious food! Can't wait to go back! The skirt steak was delicious and yummy mashed potatoes-I should have ordered extra. Enjoy all looks great! read more

Food was great, wine pairing too. The place is intimate and welcoming. Food presentation and interiors could use some help.

We wanted to love this place and maybe we came on an off night but the service was weird. The waitress looked out of sorts and the food was so subpar. Cold morcillas and sausages and the meat was nothing at all to write home about. read more

Really amazing food! Awesome place. Perfect dinner from start to end. The venue itself is a warm and cozy, and feels like a wine bar. It's not too cold and the music isn't too loud. The service was spot on - our server was eager to please and very knowledgeable. I felt like she understood what everyone at our table wanted before we even had a chance to tell her. She made great recommendations. We always had full glasses and bread on the table. There were no mistakes, despite some semi-complicated orders. The steaks were cooked to temperature perfectly, the filets were great quality meat. The peppercorn sauce was awesome and not overpowering - wouldn't change a thing. The grilled veggie sides (we had sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, asparagus, broccoli rabe and zucchini between the four of us) were all perfect, too, and went well with the meats on our plates. We had a perfect meal here and will definitely be back with friends! read more

Tiniest restaurant but greatest ! If you love meat, then you should not miss out this place... everytime delicious. The wine is also amazing ! read more

The quality of the food was good; however, the service was poor. After waiting an hour after we first ordered, they brought out our appetizers at the same time as our entrées, not just for our table but also for the table next to us as well. Despite the waitress writing down each of our orders, she still managed to forget to place one of our entree orders. The owners who were made aware of this did nothing to make it right. It is unfortunate that this small business does not have any restaurant experience especially in customer service because the quality of the food is actually quite good. read more

This place was amazing. The appetizer was delicious - we ordered the empanadas. The sangria was so yummy. And the main course, the parrillada was Phenomenal!! It's small and cozy and the service was awesome. We will definitely be back. Ooh, and the dessert was delicious. read more

I love the place, love the food love the service. This is a little intimate restaurant where they always make me feel welcome.

Dined here a few weeks ago and the food was ok but a bit overpriced for the quality. As a steak house, my steak was tough and chewy, they failed. The sides were yummy. The server was very kind. read more

Excelent atmosphere. The place is very cosy. Management and employees were excellent. GREAT food and wine selection. 5 s. I will definitely visit again soon read more

Tiny little place on Biscayne Blvd. but very cute and cozy inside. Went there on a Saturday night with 3 other people and shared the veggie appetizer plate, which was great but I also saw the chorizo and meats platter at another table and that looked and smelled delicious too. We ordered the parrillada for 2 and shared it with 3 people and it was more than enough. Unfortunately they had run of out chorizo for the night (that other table got the last of it) and that was kind of sucky, but the server was very nice and switched the chorizo for steak on the parrilla so that was great. The meat was very good and the other person in my group had a salad with feta cheese that was also very tasty. The place has a great wine selection and their house wine was super cheap and great quality too. Very affordable prices for the quality of the food. read more

The sangria was nice and ice cold. So was the rest of the food. Cold yet tasty. Upon us mentioning this to the manager he said they never heat the plates and do the best to bring it out ASAP. ASAP is not warm enough and ends up tasting like cold microwaved food. No adjustment to bill, no apology, no repeat business. read more

This restaurant is probably one of cheapest place that I've ever been too with great service and good food. However, some people would disagree because of the quality of the meat being served. Me personally, I notice that all of the Argentinian Restaurants in South Florida offer their customers the "kitchen sink" when it comes to the quality of the meat. But with me when it comes to "kitchen sink", I would tell you "AWESOME" and please can I have more..... GRILLED SWEET BREADS, SAUSAGE, CHINCHULINES, and BLOOD SAUSAGE....YESSSS. My wife and I ordered the cheese and chorizo platter as an appetizer and we shared the mixed grill also known as the "Parillada" which included grilled sausages, steaks, ribs, sweetbreads, and tripes. It was absolutely delicious and well worth the price. One more thing, it is a very small place, nice, and intimate especially an ideal place for couples. In addition, this place has limited parking spaces available for its customers; therefore, plan to walk a little when the place is full with people. read more

Lo de Lea - Argentine Near Me - North Miami, Florida

Unfortunately we did not enjoy the dinner.. Appetizer took 1 hr and was cold. entree took 2.15 hrs and our steaks were cold. we had to ask for water twice and finally got after 1.30 hrs. i had to get the menus myself, after waiting 30 min. Forks missing, and got myself. had to ask for bread, as never received. arrogant and stressed staff, poured house wine into my nice redwine bottle we had ordered, to compensate. When I mentioned this was a different wine she just walked away, and came back with a 30% discount on our bill. Well we decided to leave after 2.30 hrs and were hungry. went to the restaurant across the street to eat and had great service and food. Too bad, the place is cozy. We will never come back. read more

Very disappointing. We were a group of 3 trying to get a table and had terrible service. They moved a party of two to a table meant for 6 (and that the owner told us we could sit in) and then moved the three of to squeeze in a two top in the back. We were treated disrespectfully and decided to just leave. read more

Service was almost too good, we wanted time to talk and look over the menu, but the server kept coming back every 2 minutes to see if we were ready to order. We ordered the shrimp appetizer. The shrimp were extremely over cooked and rubbery. We asked them to remake them but kindly not over cook them. Second time was much better. I ordered the pork chop thinking it would be of substantial thickness. It was more like a pork cutlet. It was the thinnest piece of meat I've ever seen! Needless to say, it too, was overcooked. It was as tough as leather! I had asked for medium, thinking it would still be slightly pink in the center, but with this cut, there is virtually no way to get anything but well done. I again let the server know my food was over cooked. She offered to remake it, but I knew that would take too long. I inquired about the salmon, thinking that wouldn't take nearly as long. I ordered it and asked for med rare. I got a piece of fish that had been put on the grill long enough to get grill marks on each side, but still be cold and raw in the center. At this point, the service had totally slipped. Now, nobody, including the owner/manager(?) would even stop by our table. Waters went un filled, tried to get another drink...that took forever! I have worked in the hospitality industry for a number of years, I'm also a culinary school graduate. That is no way to treat guests patronizing your establishment. Ignoring a guest with a legitimate complaint only makes a situation worse! On the flip side, my husband enjoyed his steak. The only complaint about his would be: if the specials are posted on a board, put the price with it. I think the food could have been good had it not been over cooked, I read all the other reviews, which were almost all outstanding, maybe it was an off night for the grill cook? read more

This is a wonderful hidden away gem for an evening dinner. It's small and intimate with friendly staff and a homey cozy ambiance. I thought it was so great that the friendly owner takes the time to introduce himself to each table and check on how the meal is. The food was fantastic and fresh, especially the ravioli! read more

Great Food, Great Service, love the soup, and the sweet bread, love the dessert. The place is unique, romantic.I recomended the tablita de quesos, the soup of the day are great almost all the times, and also the parrillada para dos. read more

Since writing my first review of Le de Lea it has become one of our favorite spots. You're always guaranteed a beautiful steak, a charming ambiance, and Lea...the wonderful host. In a city where restaurants ebb and flow, rise and peak, Lo de Lea is consistently wonderful for a romantic, low-key, delicious evening. read more

If you're ever in the MiMo neighborhood and are craving Argentinean fare check this place out. Ambiance, service, and most importantly the food is top notch. I shared the parillada and it was all cooked at right temps, delicious. as well as being huge enough to feed an army. Definitely recommend this small but very friendly establishment. read more

Well, this place was a delightful surprise blessing that saved our lives. After my boyfriend and I exiled ourselves from Organic Bites (see review) after a bizarre foodless situation, we beelined across the street when my South American boyfriend saw, like a beacon of hope, "Argentinian Grill." I was skeptical, because it's about the size of a thumb and I normally don't go to restaurants blindly, but the place ended up being our salvation. It was delightful. Clearly family owned, intimate, and cozy. The service was fabulous and the food even better: real Argentinian fare (I asked my boyfriend), millions of little balls of pillowy bread, a polenta tower to die for, juicy steak (duh, Argentina) and to top it off - crepes that came to our table aflame. Low-key and yummy and just what we needed, though we didn't even know it. read more

Love this place! We go there all the time. Food is excellent. Owner is always there providing excellent service. Cozy and great atmosphere! Highly recommended. read more

I was just here on a Wednesday night by myself. There were only a few other tables there. There were two servers working (a man and a woman). They were both really nice and attentive. They checked on me enough but not too much. I ordered the Lomo a la Parrilla but I asked to substitute the broccoli rabe for the bok choy. I ordered the steak medium and it came medium. The food was really good and the little puffs of bread they give you while you're waiting are yummy. All in all I would say it was a very good experience and I would definitely go back and go back with friends or family. Go and try it for sure! read more

I've always enjoyed having a quiet and peaceful dinner at this place, about two nights ago I went and the place was almost empty since it was kind of late so I thought It was going to be even more quiet, but it wasn't, unfurtunately there was this person that everyone could tell was very intoxicated and it seemed a like that person was not even dinning, that person kept yelling and even broke some glasses and both waiters just stood there looking embarrassed but without telling this person to get the f...ck out. Food was great but I just wanted to get my check and leave, that person wasn't escorted out until I demanded the check. read more

I love Lo de Lea! It's warm and intimate setting provides the perfect atmosphere for a small group or romantic date. I had the salmon and it was hands-down the best salmon I've had in Miami. I also enjoyed a glass of Malbec (a must-have in an Argentine restaurant). My date had the churrasco steak which he reports was delicious. The prices were very affordable for the quality of the food. We would have easily spent a fortune had we been in South Beach or Brickell. Another major plus is that the restaurant has free parking. read more

Had a great experience at this cozy Argentine restaurant. My wife and I arrived shortly after the restaurant opened and chose to sit outdoors at one of the few tables out front to enjoy the sunset over Biscayne Blvd. Since we were the only ones there, service was prompt and helpful. For some reason, the restaurant didn't have ice ready when we arrived, but cold beer made up for it. We had a delicious sweet bread appetizer followed up with two steak dinners (pictured) and washed down with two beers each. The food was delicious with helpings that we couldn't finish in one sitting. The total bill came out to $100 (including tip). For the doodler, the tables inside come with a few select crayons and a white tablecloth. There is also a small off-street parking lot along the side of the building. Overall, it was a nice experience! read more

Lo de Lea - Entrees: Entrana (top) and vacio (bottom), both with grilled book Choy and potato side. - Argentine Near Me - North Miami, Florida

Super friendly staff willing to please. Great place for carnivores. Variety of grilled meats, sausages and specialty meats. Flank steak was aces. Servings are large. Served with enough broccoli to choke a Bush. Not sure about the daily discounts but for some reason we got our wine for half price. read more

Just moved to the neighborhood and was very pleased with this find. Good wine selection. Must try the grilled veggie app. Very nice service too. read more

Completely overpriced and meat was just average. The empanadas were just ok. La estancia Argentina is much better. The provoleta was cold and under seasoned and not how it's supposed to be. The gnocchi were very good though. The bread were mini dough balls, unimpressed. It's different and were good with the aioli to start of but should not replace the regular French bread normally served at any argentine restaurant with a meal. The service was very friendly but a bit too slow. For the price and what you get, I'll go to la estancia next time. read more

I was expecting a lot, but unfortunately we did not have a good experience. We had the mixed grill for two ( i forgot the name ) it comes in 2-3 different plates. The sausages were good, sweetbread was awesome but the steak and chicken had so much salt that we couldn't eat them at all. I would let them know about it and ask them to change it i'm sure it was a mistake and it's not like this all the time but we had tickets and had to leave so we just left the majority of the food there and headed out. I want to give this place another try. Two stars are based on our experience that night. read more
