Fun restaurant with incredible fire dancers. Very loud ... you can't hear the person sitting next to you even if they're yelling if you're seated in the room w the DJ. There was a lot of up selling going on. We ended up having wayyyyy too much food (and it's $$$$). Our server had very long hair and her hair dragged thru at least half our dishes (that we saw). No one wants to eat that. But the presentation was beautiful.

We arrived here without a reservation for a late dinner on a Thursday, the place was only about 1/2 full and we were seated right away. We each started with a cocktail, both of which were very good, we had the tuna tartar for a starter, and for our meals we ordered the 14 oz prime NY strip and the seabass, both to share, roasted sweet potato and asparagus for our sides and a bottle of wine. Overall, the food here was very good. Service was plenty attentive, but it felt like we were driving the pace rather than our server, and our meals took a while to be delivered after we'd ordered. Considering what this place is, prices for cocktails and food aren't terribly out of line - but are certainly up there or in some cases higher than better quality steakhouses. It should be noted that the markups on wine here are very high, and they claim to have a sommelier on staff who can assist patrons in making their selections. In our case we were here to celebrate a special occasion so we weren't so concerned with price, but if we were just coming here for dinner, we'd have likely gone without the wine and ordered another round or two of cocktails instead - their wine prices are that overinflated. RosaNegra has a lively atmosphere for sure, with live music or a DJ spinning, lots of patrons ordering bottle service complete with the prerequisite parade of cheering staff with sparklers each time one is delivered, long trays of shots which are also delivered with great fanfare, and staff having diners stand up and dance at times while spinning their napkins in the air. As we were first looking at the menu, a fire dancer came through twirling flaming batons; she actually danced through the entire dining area a few times throughout the night. We've been past this place on weekends and it's normally packed with a line waiting to get in. It's most definitely one of the newer, trendy Brickell hot spots - maybe less flashy than Sexy Fish but also a lot less pretentious. Unlike the aforementioned fish place which we'll never go back to, we'd happily return here to RosaNegra.

My husband & I came to this restaurant because we absolutely love the one in Cancun and wanted to relive the vibe. The space is gorgeous and the energy is there--but it just didn't hit the same "turn up" level as Cancun. For food: - Ordered the branzino, but it was totally different than what we had in Cancun--felt like an entirely new dish. - The Caesar salad was solid (hard to mess up a classic). - The real star was the Lucifer tomahawk on fire--the presentation alone is worth the hype, and for $290, it definitely delivered. Entertainment was fun and mirrored Cancun's style, just with a slightly toned-down vibe. A sweet surprise at the end: they brought me a complimentary birthday dessert that made me feel celebrated. Overall: Miami gave us a taste of what we love about Rosa Negra, but Cancun still holds the crown. Still, the tomahawk was worth every bite.

The ambience here is absolutely a 10/10, beautifully decorated, with great music and a lively vibe. The happy hour is a fun touch- they give out shots served to all the tables. Everything feels pristine and thoughtfully designed. Given the atmosphere, I had high hopes for the food, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. I ordered about 5 different dishes and wouldn't return for any of them.

Went for happy hour and Miami spice ( bar side ) Server : Josue Day : Friday ! So I first want to start out by saying that we only sat at the bar and was serviced with Josue the entire time. The service by Josue was sooooooo amazing. He was knowledgeable by the menu but he was personable to everyone at the bar. Everyone at the bar raved about his service ! Happy hour cocktails were delicious there's two on the menu and loved both. Pictured in my review is the octopus tiradito it was pretty good but the Miami spice green ceviche was a hit ! I also ordered to lamb and it was delicious but forewarning it's on the salty side! Lastly was the dessert and you can't go wrong with cheesecake ! I'll definitely come back and sit at the bar because Josue really set the standard ! Come on the weekends Friday -Sunday !

There was literally nothing wrong! Everything went famously well at dinner. We had the loveliest and most amazing server, Gabriella! She was attentive, knowledgeable and her smile lit up the room! It's a lively dining experience, which makes it fun, yet the food is also top notch. Had the Orzo Short Rib along with the roasted sweet potato. Empanadas for appetizer and margaritas for cocktails and all of it was delicious.

I came here on a Saturday around 7pm for date night. I usually don't eat outside but we sat on the terrace. It was cute outside and it was cool to see the bartender doing the tricks. Our waitress was Lea and she was pretty good. She was smiley and attentive. The food was also good. We got the guac, elote, short rib tacos, and churros. I wouldn't order the guac again because it came with a tasteless cheese and no chips. I would reorder everything else though. I asked for something green on the side, like spinach, lettuce or anything for my tacos but the kitchen declined my request. They had an issue with the lighting in the bathroom which was a nightmare. They tried to light the bathroom with candles but it was really dark in there. Overall, I would return, especially for the churros.

Food: 3 out of 5 Service: 0 out of 5 Ambiance: 5 out of 5 Vibe: 2 out of 5 Value: 2 out of 5 This was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I can remember, and it actually bordered on humiliating. We were excited to try RosaNegra as we are well aware of the restaurant group's offerings in CDMX & Cancun. Further, we generally are super impressed with a couple other Mexican restaurant groups that operate in CDMX, MTY, and CUN. We have always loved the experiences (La Buena Barra in MTY & CUN is a favorite), the food, service, vibe and entertainment. It's so much different than what we have in the states, and I absolutely love it. That being said, I also know that it's hard to replicate that experience in the states but was willing to give it a try. So, I will start off with the positive attributes. The restaurant is stunningly beautiful and fits the vibe of the Tulum/Cancun spots (and Nomade in ATX). Think of that neutral color palate, the big heavy double wooden doors you see in Mexico. Like the Quintana Roo Restoration Hardware catalog (if they had one). Also, even nicer than the restaurant is the tableware - probably the nicest I've ever seen - plates, cutlery, serving dishes. Just amazing....However, the napkins were a little dirty...ew. Now, for the experience: We had a reservation for an outdoor table but we were told upon checking in that someone had reserved the entire outdoor area ( I tried my best Seinfeld reference, but it was lost on them..."You know how to take the reservation, but you don't know how to hold the reservation...")...Look, I get it, big client with a yacht wants the outdoor space in South Beach, the guy with 200 points on his OpenTable account gets shafted. Not the end of the world. A little weird since the restaurant and outdoor area had pretty moderate occupancy at the time. The server was pretty nice at first (even if not the most attentive) but once it became clear we weren't really drinking much or going for an all out dinner, the service went from aloof to downright non-existent. We ordered dessert and waited an extra 20 min with no sign of it coming, so we flagged some folks down and asked to cancel as we had to go. So the manager (bald guy other folks wrote back) came over with a check, dropped it on the table and said in a rude manner, "you want to cancel your dessert". Actually thought they were going to comp it and apologize, but not so much. We told him we had to split the check and holy smokes he took a pen and said circle what you want, and walked away. The type of service we have always gotten in Mexico is so much different - it's so welcoming, gracious, polite and friendly..I'm not sure if it's hard to replicate in the states, or it's intentional to try to create an air of exclusivity. We really felt uncomfortable and not welcome there the whole time. Okay, so now for the food - mixed bag. Very nice presentation, but the menu is a little weird, and you'll notice it's a *very* different menu from Mexico. Most of the food was plated beautifully and looked it! The tuna tostada was very good (maybe a bit salty) as was the ceviche. We asked for tortillas for the ceviche which took a very long time to get, which kinda messed with the dish. That said, the tortillas and salsas were amazing! Tacos - so the tacos should have been listed more as appetizers as the plate was two almost street tacos (MX the order is 3) and they were like $28ish...I mean, $14/piece for tacos is insane. The short rib tacos were like barbacoa and were very good though - The beef tenderloin w/chicharron was pretty good, and the pulpo was ehhh, just drowned in sauce. The jalapeno mash was great; the asparagus was fine ($16 is silly). We opted not to go for steak since it looked pretty pedestrian - (at LBB MTY/CUN) they bring it out, light it on fire ha and cut it and it was amazing...Here, I figured I'd wait to go home and hit up H-E-B for some rib eyes and grill em! Lastly, as far as the entertainment - I dunno..it was just very loud music that didn't have like a theme to it..couple good tunes, but didn't really create a fun vibrant atmosphere. So, overall, there is a ton of potential, but you have to crack the code on bringing the Mexican experience to the states - and I get it, Miami seems like a good place to do it, but maybe give Austin, Dallas, or Houston a try. We have La Popular from CDMX which from what I understand isn't great there or here. So there's a huge market here for it! Again, beautiful restaurant, but really misses on everything else except for making your customers feel bad. For steak, the Argentinean steakhouse Baires is pretty solid, and Calle Ocho has some great Cuban spots....but I wouldn't return here (but still would go to the group's restaurants in Mexico).

Omg this place I absolutely loved. The food was incredible. We had some delicious cocktails with some ceviche and octopus. And i highly recommend. The ambiance was incredible it gave the Tulum vibe and the dancer with the fire was amazing. The waiter's service was excellent he gave us the best recommendations and always a smile and full of energy. Honestly worth the hype and I would definitely come here again.

RosaNegra offers a visually striking atmosphere and an ambitious concept, but the overall experience was mixed. While the presentation of the dishes was appealing, the execution did not consistently meet expectations. The seafood, although flavorful at first, was overly watery and carried a strong fishy smell that detracted from the enjoyment. The steak was acceptable in taste, but the texture was quite rubbery, which affected the quality of the dish. Additionally, the experience did not align with the restaurant's social media portrayal. RosaNegra promotes its brunch as an "amazing brunch party," but in reality, the atmosphere fell flat and lacked the energy, entertainment, and excitement that was advertised. The contrast between expectation and reality was disappointing. Overall, RosaNegra has potential, particularly in ambiance and concept, but improvements in food consistency and a more accurate representation of the brunch experience would greatly enhance the overall offering.

This place was a party on a Tuesday night! Our group got a tomahawk and they bring it out and put it on fire while everyone shouts and dances. I got the wagyu ribeye from Australia as it was delicious! All the apps we got were also amazing. The meatballs, elote style corn, and 4 different dips for chips. Our server was Miami's next top model and amazing at her job! 10/10 recommend !! The chocolate sphere was a show they melt with some hot caramel but the churros with fruit and cream was delicious !

Came to Rosa Negra to celebrate a friend's birthday, and the overall experience was good, though not exactly unforgettable. The ambiance was absolutely exquisite--immediately gave off Tulum, Mexico vibes with its lush decor and earthy yet upscale aesthetic. The attention to detail in the design really set the mood, and the atmosphere felt festive and vibrant. They definitely know how to make celebrations feel special. The sparklers were a fun and unexpected touch, perfect if you're there for a birthday or holiday gathering. As for the brunch itself, it was a mix of hits and misses. The layout included a cold station, a hot station (with one entrée), and a dessert station. If you're a fan of crab legs and chilled seafood items, the cold station is where Rosa Negra shines. The variety and freshness stood out. Unfortunately, the hot station was a bit underwhelming. With only one entrée option, it didn't quite meet the expectations for a brunch at this price point or vibe level plus $25 for what seemed like a couple table spoons truffle butter was obscured to me. As for our server, she was a delight. Courteous, polite, friendly, and attentive! All in all, it was a decent experience--great for the ambiance and special occasions--but food-wise, it left us wanting a bit more. Good, but not something to write home about.
