This was a perfect spot for a solo dinner! The food was amazing, the service was fantastic. I had a great meal and didn't feel rushed. The weather was perfect for outside dining and it's decorated beautifully for the holidays. I had a wonderful espresso martini and the grilled shrimp skewers. The Caesar salad was tasty as well. read more

My family and I were excited to check out this place, but it was a total letdown. Service? Terrible. We made a reservation for a party of 6 people. When we got there we were not told we couldn't stay longer than 1 and 1/2 hours. However, for a party of 6 people we are "allowed" to stay at the restaurant for 2 and 1/2 hours. Well, we've ordered a bottle of champagne and wine, entrees and main dishes. After 1h the manager / owner whoever this guys is, came to us saying he had another people waiting for the table. At the moment he came to our table and hadn't finished the bottle of wine neither we had ordered desserts. I understand he had another reservation, however we were there for only 1h and we were in a party of 6. In other words, WE GOT KICKED UP BY THE MANAGER OWNER. Terrible service. Don't waste your time and money in this place! read more

Great seafood! Kind staff, amazing service! Red snapper was was delicious with the sauce.

Great place! Music is not loud. Nice crowd and ambiance. Service was not perfect due to rain. Food appetizers is standard. Nothing outstanding really. Not a fan of gratuity included. Do not order bloody Mary, they do not know how to do it. Mimosa was flat as if it was from bottle that stayed open for a while. read more

My friends and I were walking on ocean drive while on vacation and decided to get some drinks. We were sat by the host and given a drink menu. The waiter came over with water for everyone. We decided what what we wanted to drink but it took the waiter so long time to come back that we had to get him. 3 of the 4 of us ordered drinks. I got rum runner, one friend got the Bellini, and one for the blue iced tea. My drink was amazing. No complaints. My friend enjoyed his Bellini. The friend who got the blue iced tea didn't like it and said it was really strong. I tried it and agreed it was strong. He didn't finish it. read more

Beautiful old world decor and friendly, genteel wait staff make for a relaxing meal with friends away from the hustle and bustle of Miami Beach. My friend and I shared Paella for 2 and my sister had the chicken Parmesan - all were tastefully presented and delicious. Dessert was excellent as well. Only suggestion is that they need a cappuccino machine. read more

Amazing food. Amazing atmosphere. Amazing service. Ivan was a fantastic! Would definitely recommend.

Spectacular drinks and atmosphere and really good food A new addition to Miami Beach, Ocean Bistro is in the Cavalier South Beach Hotel. I stopped in for dinner recently and had their Ceviche and Gamberetti Pizza. The ceviche was tasty but odd. Served in a 'normal' ceviche glass, it had tough, flavorful, unchopped leaves throughout. I couldn't figure out if I was supposed to remove them or try to eat through them. Similarly, the Gamberetti was just a bit off as well. The pizza itself was delicious and the grilled seasoned shrimp were wonderful...but the pairing didn't quite work out. That said, the Caipirinha was *extraordinary* - perhaps the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was spectacular. I dined just after sunset at a table overlooking (the closed to traffic) Ocean Drive and Lummus park and watched the people go by as the sky dimmed and the lights came on. It was just an extraordinary experience. Lastly, the service was exemplary. read more

Food is average with decent flavors. Prices and portions are typical for ocean. Service was extremely slow

Food was ok, got the red snapper and fish picatta and both were pretty over cooked - but Osmer was amazing and he made our experience pretty good. Cocktails and shots were also great. Would come back for cocktails only next time. read more

I came in with my sisters and stepdad from out of town we had a good experience, food was really good, the ambiance as well and our server Maribel was very nice and helpful, will definitely visit again when back in town. We also got two other plates but I couldn't get any pictures of those but those were also really good! Definitely recommend coming here. read more

The brochettes were a perfect start to the meal. The olive oil and diced tomatoes really boosted the flavor. The Italian Hawaiian pizza was one of the best pizzas I have had. It was very different, but it was very delicious. Just such a great flavor on the pizza and thin crust was just amazing. The classic Margarita was very good as well. Got our food within 10 to 15 minutes. A very friendly and fun atmosphere as well. Highly recommend. read more

My husband and I both ordered the ribeye steak. Overcooked and overpriced. Cheap, crappy cut of meat, cold mashed potatoes and a handful of lettuce with a tomato quarter made up your salad. The service was nonexistent. That's why they automatically grat a 20% tip. $100 spent with no alcohol on a very mediocre meal. I've had better steaks at Chili's. Ambiance is nice if you are able to get an outside table. read more

Very underrated!! The pizza, pasta, and Pinot Grigio were on point! Also, really great service from wait staff and who I assume is the owner/manager! Very nice, just the right amount of class and fun! read more

I was happy to find a nice classy chill place in the middle of hectic ocean drive. The food in this Italian restaurant is delicious and to be honest refreshing because you don't find such quality in south beach. It seems like a family local operated place. The pizzas are amazing homemade and the bar is very cool. Love this! read more
