That night they outdid themselves! I took pictures of the first few pairings, but the ambience and the music made me forget to take pictures of the rest! The prawns with basmati rice and vegetables was superb! And the tocinillo del cielo was amazing. If you like morcilla - this is the place. And I had never had stewed wild boar with chocolate sauce - OMG! If you're looking for Spanish food, there are many good options in Miami, but Kebo should be at the top of your list! You'll thank me later.

We ordered a half dozen oysters , the salmon and the chicken parmigiana. For some reason these oysters just looked off and they definitely were not fresh which was a shame as we picked this spot hoping they wouldn't disappoint. The salmon was excellent , I've had better chicken parmigiana for way less.. we sat inside of the restaurant which had pretty dim lighting but the tables were pretty tightly close together... the staff was nice just overworked .

I think we got 3 drinks each. The apps were perfect sizes Recommend patatas bravas - can't go wrong with that and filling. Pan con tomate- The tomate was delicious and somewhat fruity - great quality with crisp bread underneath. Bacon wrapped dates are my favorite and these were huge. Had to cut in half. Not pictured shrimp croquettes were unique, a bit of a texture curve so one was enough for me. The crispy artichokes had good potential - maybe we were no longer hungry but it was very dry and flavorlesss, tasted like straw. The sauce on the side saved it.

We started with a tinto de verano and it was pretty good. The food, however wasn't great. The cod croquettes were really salty. The ham croquettes were a little bit less salty. The papas bravas were a little bit too salty as well. The bocata de jamón hardly had any tomato but the bocata de chorizo was better. The pulpo gallego was the best dish we had. The paella de pollo y verduras wasn't great either. It was a bit dry. The only thing that we liked about this restaurant was the location. If I return, I'll order something else.

Beach shack hard to find. Parking lot #3. No signs to help you. Better place if you happen to be…read moreat the beach with $ to spare since this is an expensive lunch. You order at the counter, and they call you to pick up the food. Frozen lemonade in a plastic cup $8.90. For appetizers we ordered Fried Calamari (they were hard) and Pescaito Frito (sardines) $14.90. We were a party of 4 and wanted the seafood paella - unfairly paella can only be ordered by 2 and they charge $28.90 per person regardless of whether 4 people can eat from 1 paella (they can). We ended up with tons of paella left. Again, the calamari/squid was hard. The shrimp were large and nicely cooked. With tip the total bill was over $210. Outrageous !

My husband dropped his napkin and before he placed it in his lap... we had a fresh one. We started with the Mango margarita and the Amaro ( tamarindo) margarita- yummy!!! The ceviche was extremely fresh and super tasty, we also tried the Wagyu beef empanada which came with a mixed salad and the entire plate worked well. My husband had the Bronzino with black bean puree and mixed greens. The fish was cooked perfectly and super tasty. I had the barbacoa - pork barbecue, it came with guacamole and pickled onions. This dish was mouth watering. Both dishes came with corn tacos. Highly recommend this place for great tasting food, service and ambience.

Amazing music too. Huge thanks to Frankie for all the excellent recommendations and to Chef Arturo, who completely impressed us.

This was my favorite restaurant I went to with the best food on a trip to Miami. After walking…read moreinside, we were immediately greeted by the owner and chef, Felipe, who was so welcoming and friendly, and I felt right at home. There was deliciously fresh complimentary bread (and complimentary water too, which was amazing to find in Miami). The bread was still hot from the oven, and it was nice and crunchy but still soft. The table had olive oil for the bread too, but I don't think it necessarily needed it because it was so good by itself already. The Valencia Paella had chicken and seafood in it, and I honestly loved the combination. The chicken was cooked perfectly so it was nice and tender and also well-seasoned. The seafood had great flavor, and I really enjoyed trying all the different kinds. I love paella, and I've been looking for a good paella ever since I tried it in Spain for the first time. After debating between a few options in Miami, I was so happy I went with this restaurant because I was very satisfied with their paella. Overall, the food was amazing, and I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. The experience couldn't have been better, and I'm already eager to go back to try the Iberian Ham and say hi to Felipe again.

We were seated outside and the chairs were a bit low. We started with drinks - pisco sour (their specialty) and an espresso martini. As for food, we ordered the arroz con pato, short rib pappardelle, and the black miso cod. Everything was so so flavorful. My favorite was the cod which was paired with this quinoa that was so yummy I've never had such delicious quinoa in my life. The pappardelle was also really creamy and the duck rice was packed with flavor. Overall we really enjoyed our meal! The portions were big too.

While most of the South Beach restaurants are loud and crowded, this one is quiet and classy! The dining room has an old world charm and art deco vibe. The food was exquisite ! We loved their rib eye steak and short ribs. They were prepared just right and the portion size was great! To me, the short ribs can feed two people (as long as you are not big eaters). Service was marvelous as well. Our server Laura was graceful and attentive. The manager also came out to greet us and shared some history of the place with us. Overall a wonderful dining experience at a price point that I consider very reasonable for the quality and ambiance they offered!

After looking at the reviews I presented Mareva 1939 as my top choice. I contacted them and made a reservation for 10 people, and after the first reservation time I had to adjust with Mareva for people arriving in late because of flights. No problem for Mareva and they didn't need a deposit for the restaurant. It is in the National Hotel, next to where we are staying box 1 check. The place was beautifully decorated and staff all attentive throughout the night. That was my criteria not my boss' since the lack of good service can destroy a great meal. The food choices all were excellent but centered on tapas and Spanish cuisine which checked the second box. Served family style we all chose a number of different tapas and shared. Then large patella dishes, they were plentiful and all delicious. Lastly the price, which may seem high for those outside the area but not for those who know Miami Beach. The bill for the 10 of us that included several drinks person and enough food and desserts to leave us full came to $1,002 including tip and taxes. All boxes checked and my boss and team happy, Mareva 1939 was a huge success.
