We love the location of this restaurant -and have dined here a few times. I would warn against coming here during high season Dec. holidays thru March early April. As it will be packed and the service here is so so for the prices. We waited 30 minutes to be seated and had a reservation. Overall the food is good but not up to par again with a restaurant on this level. The portions are small and taste average but good enough. My husband got a bad oyster and had to put it back-our waiter was hard to find so we were too tired to complain :) I ordered the prawns and scallops which are just two scallops and two smaller shrimp(s)(not prawns) and to me was an appetizer portion and I am not a big eater. Price was about $45 for just that ! The taste was also meh! Drink orders were screwed up-but couldn't find someone to ask about them so we just dealt with it. It is a beautiful setting and very charming. But they must work on service and some of their menu offerings /prices to make this place a true winner. read more

Extremely expensive. The website says "ocean views in every direction" but this is not an accurate statement. Service was satisfactory but a bit slow and confused. The grilled artichokes were outstanding. The NY strip steak was good but seemed rather thin. Their wine list is disappointingly small. read more

Decided on an impromptu lunch with myself. Ocean Grill is the only restaurant that is overlooking the beach. I asked for a table with beach views. To my surprise, I was seated right away. Unfortunately I waited over 20 minutes and still no service even after mentioning it to the staff. Irina, the manager, came by and attended to me right away. She apologized, took my order, checked in on me and even gave me a complimentary glass of Prosecco for my wait. She was kind & professional. Thanks to Irina I enjoyed my experience at the Ocean Grill. Salmon burger was decent but I wouldn't get it again. Lacked flavor. However, I will be back for the view, to try the pizza and have their delicious iced coffee. read more

First, the service was poor. Our waitress was good however drink service was slow. Our meal was disappointing. My husband ordered the Sea Bass and it was cold in the center and did not taste right. Honestly, I tried it and could not eat it. I ordered the Branzino and it was wonderful however due to the poor service and undercooked entree we will not be back nor would we recommend this restaurant. read more

My wife and I ate here on our honeymoon and enjoyed our meal. We ordered the caesar salad, the spaghetti, and a margarita pizza to split. The food was enjoyable, but overpriced for the actual quality of what you are getting. Although the food was a bit pricey, the atmosphere was worth every dollar. We were seated with a wonderful view of the ocean and really enjoyed the service we were given. read more

Excellent service. Food was great! I highly recommend truffle ravioli!! Superb ambiance. I would suggest to book a reservation before night so you'll have the full view of the sunset. A little expensive for what's it worth. Other than that. Great experience!! read more

They have an amazing scenic walk on the way to the restaurant. We didn't have no wait time, their service was spot on and the food was satisfying before we made our way to the beach. read more

Covid safe but we did not have a good experience last night... my sea bass was good so that's why I'm giving it 3 stars but the bread was chewy, and my boyfriends prawns were basically alive right before he ate them... eyeballs and everything. Once he de-shelled them (which I seemed surprised about since it was pricy...) the prawns were so fishy... no flavor to them at all. We ended the night with coffee which was really good from there but this restaurant for dinner was overpriced and decent. Ambiance is beautiful read more

Nice little Oasis of swank on the boardwalk with a view of the Atlantic. Food was fantastic, service was very attentive and unobtrusive. My single complaint is that a 20% gratuity was added automatically. I really dislike that practice. I can understand if the party is 6+ but there are only 3 of us. It still did not take away from the excellence of the food. read more

Gorgeous place in a gorgeous hotel. Service is awful. I've been sitting here for 30 mins we just were able to order our drinks. Table next to us have been waiting for their check for 30 mins. Would recommend skipping. Too many beautiful restaurants in miami. read more

Beautiful location and phenomenal service, Andrea at the entrance was extremely inviting and Federico's service was excellent! Will definitely be returning! The view was also a huge plus :) read more

Maitre d was a total ass. Rude because we were not staying at the hotel. We wanted food and drinks at the bar. Told us we had to leave because even the bar seats were for hotel patrons with reservations only. Is this the same owner as the NYC ocean grill? Not cool. read more

Ocean Grill - Him telling us to leave!!! Omg! - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Walked in ordered food, was with my boyfriend and our friend. We were completely sober coming to dinner. My boyfriend was slightly underdressed to begin with- which we were wondering might have been an issue. But they sat us with no issue. First issue we noticed was that we were asked to order our entire meal within 10 minutes of arriving. We were very caught off guard by that as we were just sat down and wanted to take a look at the menu. We ordered a cocktail and appetizers but asked to give us more time to decide on our main entree. Shortly after we were told that we could not receive drinks because my boyfriend was "too drunk". He had not been drinking but again, was underdressed- which was a concern of ours after arriving but never was told this was an issue. My friend and I went to the restroom shortly after sitting down and my boyfriend was told we were too drunk to be served cocktails. I then walked up the hostess stand where the blond sassy male hostess was standing. The hostess then told me that my boyfriend was way too drunk to be served. Honestly such a disgusting way to be treated. We closed out and tipped 20% still with whatever we did order. I have never been treated like this at a restaurant. We are classy people that are very quiet and respectful at dinners so we were all very very confused. I hope this place learns how to treat its guests correctly. Miami is a tourist city and should be open to accommodating to all people. I never usually leave reviews but this was just so unacceptable & something I have never experienced before I want this to be know. There's a reason they have a million reservations available same day! read more

I was very excited to try this restaurant. The location is beautiful. It's right on the beach and the decor is lovely. The food I found to be very mediocre. Nothing blew me away and for those prices I was definitely expecting more. Service was ok. read more

This place is 5 star all the way. The food is incredible, service is divine, atmosphere is stellar and view is spectacular. Best meal of the trip and oh so memorable read more

Food nicely presented was exceptional and appropriate portions. Miami Spice selection best I have researched The outside was cool enough to eat at and the view of the ocean, now cleared on wall of shrubbery was spectacular. Wait staff very accommodating. We were a challenging group of six, one 93 year old sight and hearing challenged. The sound despite picking a table farthest from music was noisy because of fans but we could talk. Staff attentive and flexible. Highly recommend read more

Great spot. Very nice service and food. Beautiful spot on the beach, not many restaurants are.

Scenic location, delicious seafood, and happy staff. I was seated at a perfect table overlooking the ocean. Ordered the ceviche and the octopus, which was perfectly cooked (octopus is hard to get right). Very happy with my lunch here. read more

As A Minority Stay Away From This Establishment. I Made A Reservations And Arrived On Time. The Hostees Told Me 5 Mins My Table Would Be Ready, In The Mean Time I Watch A Caucasian Couple Come In Without A Reservations And Immediately Sit Down. However When We Finally Did Sit Down, We Where Purposely Sat In The Back, Away From There "Main Target Group Of Customers", At Some Make Shift Table That Was Literally Thrown Together. Told The Hostees I Have Reservations I'm Not Sitting Back Here I Want To Speak To The Manager. The Manager Comes Over In His Two Dollar Suit Never Introduce Himself, Arrogant As Ever And States " I Know About The Situation This All We Have". At This Point I'm Am Completely Disgusted And Make The Decision To Leave The Establishment. read more

Service is poor. Some waiters will literally not acknowledge you. Drinks take forever. Prices are too high and there are much better restaurants in Miami and along the beach. I'm sure the food is good but what's the point if it takes you forever to enjoy it read more

Make a reservation. It is worth it. The coconut water pineapple drink is amazing! Service was good even though it was packed. Food was equally good and fresh. They also have TVs in the bar area to watch sports! And, it is an amazing location. read more

Los baños están muy lejos y si sales al baño el mesero ye persigue por la cuenta y cuando regresas levantaron tu mesa con las bebidas que estaban cobradas. Buen lugar pero no se que tipo de clientes reciben que no puedes ir al baño sin que piensen que vas a irte sin pagar read more

Terrible experience with the wait staff and food service. The food came out cold and management did not want to accommodate in any fashion. As someone visiting from out of town I would not recommend. I would think something would be done about cold food. I guess you get to know the good places from the bad through experiences. read more

This place is right on the beach and has all outdoor seating. The service was just OK but the food was excellent! The sea bass was cooked to perfection, and I really enjoyed the Caesar salad as well. We were able to get in for lunch around 1145 but it soon filled up so reservations are suggested. read more

We had a reservation at 7:30 for a party of 4, it was a very cold night and we were not aware that it's outside seating covered but very cold. We were told that our table is almost ready and waited until the people got up and the table was set up. We thought we are about to be seated when a manager named told us he gave the table to another party. We waited for 45 minutes and left, and the restaurant also notified open table that we were a no show. I can't say anything about the food since we did not eat. I just want to say it was a very unpleasant experience. read more

The restaurant looks fantastic and has a great location on the beach. The restaurant was busy and the patrons were very stylish so my expectations where high. The food service is designed to be quick with food hitting your table within minutes which is great if you are in a hurry. We ordered the Burrata which tasted pretty good - presentation needs some work as the burrata and tomatoes were crammed into a soup bowl which was odd as it didn't do the ingredients justice. I ordered the sea bass which was delivered on a small skillet with some grilled vegetables and a salsa. The fish lacked any flavor and could have done with a nice sauce. My wife ordered the steak which was okay. We spent $240 on 1 starter, kids pizza, fries, steak, sea bass and 4 drinks. Plain fries were $12 which I found hilarious. Overall, I don't think we'd eat here again but we'd probably come for a drink. read more

Only good thing about this restaurant are the views, octopus, and pizzas. Other than that the waiters service was ok, and the one thing that will never get me to come back is we ordered artichokes and they remove the heart off which I'm guessing they're adding to another plate. Being the one piece anyone looks forward to when ordering artichokes, clearly shows they don't know much about what they're doing read more

Loved this restaurant so much we decided to return to it in this trip. If you come, try the black truffle risotto. read more

Surprisingly unexciting dinner at the Sarai's Ocean Grill. Walked in without a reservation to get drinks + apps at the bar and while the drinks were good the service was slow and the food unimpressive. We ordered the Yellowfin Tuna, Salmon Tartare, and Grilled Artichokes. My favorite dish was the Grilled Artichokes - which at nearly the same price for the two raw fish dishes was certainly a let down. We asked the server for soy sauce to add to the tuna which honestly made the dish considerably more tasty and enjoyable. read more

We came last night for drinks at the outdoor bar. I unfortunately have a disease that alcohol can flare up so decided to ask for water. My wife, ordered a wine. The bartender was beyond rude with my "water order" and even told his co worker while standing in front of us about my order. My wife was so offended that she didn't even drink her wine and walked out. I would not recommend this place! read more

We had a wonderful dinner here last night. The restaurant is beautiful and followed all of the rules during COVID. Each table was spaced over 6' apart. The view was incredible and they set the lighting well for a relaxing ambiance. The resort this restaurant is in is very nice. We will definitely be back. read more

Nice view at sunset. Food is mediocre at best. If you're local, don't go. Not coming back.

This was our second visit to the Ocean Grill and it was absolutely amazing. Our server Jose, was wonderful and remembered us from our initial visit a few months back. We loved it all, the service, the food, and the entire vibe. We live in Miami and this is definitely my go to place when I need an escape and want to feel like I'm on vacation. I can't wait to go back! read more

Great food! Great ambiance! Staff is top they are very friendly with my dog too and I bring my dog all the time with me. Always coming to this restaurant is one of my favorite. read more

The staff and food is fantastic but higher management of this hotel and establishment should know the two guys wearing suits are useless to the entire restaurant. It's a joke. They do nothing to help like pick up a dish, pour a glass of champagne or anything to help which from my experience in the industry is what they see for. Sad read more

I have eaten here several times a a guest at the Setai. Tonight, in the rain, we stopped in for a drink and respite from the tropical rain. We were refused entry. Not a thought of grabbing a drink and standing. At a bar?!! Or perhaps getting a drink and going to one of the MANY unoccupied tables, festive drink in hand. The unpleasant greeter turned us out back into the rain, smirk intact. The Setai will never see my $$ again. I was treated like flotsam washed in on the beach. Unacceptable. Totally. read more

Food is excellent with a very attractive room. Good buzz and lively without being noisy. Service is excellent Not cheap but that is to be expected Downside? Smoking is allowed! One couple moved 3 times to avoid tables smoking. That also is a green light for smokers to wander the property smoking at will. I haven't seen smoking in any part of a hotel in 10 years. read more

Service once seated was great (Michele) but the bar service was mediocre. Food was pricey but very good. We asked our waiter for recommendations and were both happy with our choices. The chocolate-cherry cake was amazing!! The atmosphere is definitely what you are paying for! read more
