    Steamed rice
    Shenika T.

    I went here for lunch with my friend and her family and it was such great experience. From start to finish the service was excellent, one not so stellar moment, but we will get to that later. We were a large party so we had a table set up and they got start with our orders promptly. We all ordered the lunch set special and some order drinks. I had the Salmon ceviche, Sashimi, and Grilled Tiger Prawns with a side of steam rice. Everything was delicious! I couldn't have the sorbet, as it was dusted with something gluten looking. I also ordered a St Germaine Spritz which was delicious and refreshing. This is where the problem started, a staffed allegedly named Julia in an orange coat walked to our table and dropped drinks off even after we asked what the drink was and who ordered it, she didn't care and just walked off without answering. I am not a fan of anyone being rude, because what was the reason? Another woman came over to our table, I assumed she is in management, she had that air about her and she squared away the issue and made it alright with the drinks. Minus this negative moment, everything was great. I wouldn't mind returning to try other food options. I like that they were accommodating to my gluten free needs. It goes without saying, the restaurant is gorgeous!

    My freshly 18-year-old daughter discovered Sexy Fish through social media and was determined to go mainly because she had seen the famous bathroom and wanted the experience. I booked us a reservation directly through their website for right when they opened at 11:30 AM, and the booking process was super easy. Parking in Brickell can be a challenge, so I used ParkWhiz to reserve prepaid parking ahead of time. It ended up being cheaper and was conveniently located just a short walk away from the restaurant. We were actually the first ones seated, which was perfect because we got to really appreciate the incredible interior before it got busy. The attention to detail throughout Sexy Fish is absolutely insane. If you love over-the-top decor, beautiful spaces, and a restaurant that feels like an experience rather than just a meal, this place is definitely worth checking out. There is a dress code, and everyone was very much dressed to impress. I'll admit, I felt a little silly being dressed up for an 11:30 AM reservation, but don't worry you definitely won't be the most overdressed person there. Even the staff looked amazing in their nautical/sea-inspired outfits, which really added to the theme. We did the Sexy Brunch, which was $78 per person, and honestly included a lot of food. The meal started with several appetizers, including nori, seaweed salad, miso soup, and Japanese bread. Since there were three of us, we were able to choose two sides. We went with the kimchi rice and the corn. The corn reminded me of an elevated elote-style dish with a Mexican-inspired flavor profile, and it was delicious. For our entrees, one daughter chose the tofu, while the other two of us chose the salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly and was probably my favorite dish of the meal. The brunch package also included unlimited access to the sushi bar, which had a variety of sashimi and oysters, as well as an unlimited dessert bar. The dessert selection was impressive -- cupcakes, flan, donuts, cotton candy, and so many other options that I honestly couldn't even name them all. And yes, you absolutely have to check out the bathroom. It's clearly one of the biggest draws for visitors. My only complaint is that people were taking photos despite the signs asking guests not to, and some were blocking the bathroom for those who were actually trying to use it. I completely understand wanting the photo (because it is a beautiful space), but please be respectful go early if you want pictures and don't make other guests wait. Overall, Sexy Fish is more than just a restaurant , it's an entire experience. Come for the decor, stay for the ambiance, and enjoy the food along the way. It's definitely a Miami spot that lives up to the hype.

    What a unique place! I went there for dinner, and this place offers the perfect mix of dining and a club-like atmosphere. The service was excellent, and the food tasted amazing too. The drinks are superb, and you simply can't beat the vibe of this place. Even if you don't go there in the mood to dance, you'll automatically feel so energized by the atmosphere. I absolutely loved this place and highly recommend trying this unique dining experience.

    All the food we got and didn't leave with because it was so delicious!

    The food was delicious and I enjoyed every part of my experience at this location. We vibed to the music and had such a good time together while also having the best service. Other tables around us were curious to what we were eating and doing but it only made it more fun and created a bigger group for us when we went to the club!

    Green dragon roll
    Ashley R.

    We loved the experience at Sexy Fish. As a vegan, I didnt go hungry but I also wouldn't make this a frequent destination (very few options). The prices were high but not exceptionally high, especially for Miami (and Brickell in particular). The food was good but not exceptional--the lone vegan roll ("green dragon") was very basic. Crispy tofu salad was awesome. I had a hojicha & wildflower mocktail which WAS in fact exceptional. What you're really paying for is the ambiance though. Over the top. Think Vegas casino. Think set of a live action little mermaid. Photo ops galore. Definitely go in the bathroom and check it out! Service was good too. We somehow managed to get a same-day reservation and we were basically unfamiliar with how hyped up this restaurant is. The hostess on the phone stressed the dress code and noted "nothing too revealing" so we stressed quite a bit on what to wear and what would be too revealing (but it's Miami after all!). Once we got there we realized we stressed far too much...many girls and women were dressed in extremely skimpy outfits.

    Sexy Fish was such a fun experience! The decor is absolutely gorgeous and every corner of the restaurant feels like the perfect backdrop for a photo. The food was excellent. The kimchi fried rice and steak were standouts, and the salmon ceviche was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Our waiter also recommended a truffle sushi roll (I think it was the Hamachi Roll), and it was easily one of the best sushi rolls I've ever had. Beautiful atmosphere and amazing food!

    We booked our reservation about three weeks in advance for Saturday night (April 25), but unfortunately had travel delays flying in from California. By the time we got to our hotel in Fort Lauderdale (after 5 PM), making it to Miami Beach on time just wasn't realistic with the drive, traffic, and rideshare wait times. We ended up canceling our reservation and took a chance by arriving later, hoping we could at least get into the bar/lounge. We got there around 8:30-9 PM and joined the standby line (only a few people ahead of us). They offered entry with a $50 per person minimum spend voucher, which honestly worked out perfectly since we already planned on ordering drinks and food. I'm so glad we stayed. The restaurant is absolutely stunning, beautiful design, great energy, and a whole vibe. We sat at the bar with front-facing seats, which gave us a perfect view of the entire space. The bartenders were amazing, drinks were phenomenal, and the food was delicious (perfect for sharing and smaller plates). They also had live entertainment, dancers that looked like mermaids, which added such a unique touch. Between the music, the ambiance, and the overall experience, it's definitely something you have to see for yourself. Dress code is strict, so definitely plan your outfit accordingly if you're going, it's part of the overall upscale experience. Yes, it's pricey, but you're paying for the experience, and in my opinion, it's worth it. Coming from California, we don't really have anything quite like this (at least not that I've experienced), so it felt really special. One thing to note: if you're expecting a traditional full dinner where you leave super full, this might not be the spot. It's more about smaller plates, drinks, and the overall vibe, which is why sitting at the bar actually worked out perfectly for us. I do wish we could've rescheduled our original reservation (the next available was 11 PM, which was too late), but everything ended up working out.

    Decors and service was great and staffs had cute uniforms. Tuna wasnt as fresh nor was the salmon, didnt enjoy well from our table and the server was kind to remove it off our bill. The lunch set menu was worth it, drinks menu was a picture book and fun to flip thru. Overall, nice picturesque establishment but food just ok. Shrimp tempuras and tiger prawns i ordered were delicious though, aside from the raw sushi.

    Sexy Fish Miami - My Honest Review The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Every dish looked like a work of art, and the restaurant itself is stunning. However, the portions were extremely small for the price. In my opinion, it's significantly overpriced for what you get. The atmosphere feels more like a luxury cruise ship on land than a unique dining destination. I'm glad I went and can check it off my list, but I left feeling that the experience was more about the hype and Instagram photos than the food itself. Nice to say "I've been there," but nothing truly special that would make me rush back.

    Our girls' brunch at Sexy Fish was truly an experience! The restaurant decor is literally a dream so vibrant, unique, and visually stunning. It's the kind of place where every corner is a photo moment, and the energy just adds to the overall vibe. The food was incredible, and we got to try a variety of dishes. The fried zucchini was a 10/10 crispy, flavorful, and so addictive. The tofu avocado salad was also a 10/10, with the tofu perfectly soft and paired beautifully with the other ingredients. The sweet corn fried rice was an 8/10, really good with a nice balance of flavors. We ordered salmon twice one was a 10/10, cooked perfectly, while the other was an 8/10 only because she wasn't a fan of the sauce. The kimchi rice was easily a 100/10 absolutely amazing and a must-order! The Sexy Fish maki was a 10/10, super fresh and packed with flavor. For drinks, the Son of a Gilador and the Jasmine and Peach were both 8/10 refreshing and well-made. We also tried the Rhubarb and Flan, which was an 8.5/10 and a great way to end the meal. Overall, between the stunning decor, amazing food, and fun atmosphere, this was such a memorable brunch. Definitely a must-visit spot for a girls' outing or special occasion I'll absolutely be back!

    Octopus
    Lauryn T.

    Such a beautiful restaurant. Of course it's one of the many popular restaurants located in Miami. Definitely a good spot to go out with the girls and get a picture in their bathroom. The food was decent in my opinion. The staff took a bit long to check on us when we needed to order or had any requests, but we also understand that this restaurant is busy. We ordered the corn fried rice, wagyu, and grilled octopus. My favorite out of the three would have to be the grilled octopus it was charred to perfection & had an amazing sweet salty glaze on it. The drinks were just okay!

    An experience was had! I had the pleasure of dining in on a Saturday night and both the food and vibes of Sexy Fish were impeccable. My friends and I got seated near the fish tank and it was great because you had a really nice view of the restaurant. The service was incredible, I will definitely be coming back here the next time I visit!

    Sexy Fish is an restaurant that gives lounge/club -style energy w/ it's chic vibe. Sexy Fish has Japanese-Inspired Cuisine & is in the Brickell section of Miami. Close to other hang-out spots in Brickell, it seems as if every nightlife venue had a bit of a line when we visited Sexy Fish. Although we waited for about 30 minutes, it was a beautiful evening. Security was kind when we were allowed into the space. Sexy Fish is spacious-enough, however every section was full so we hung out at the bar area. Vibrant, colorful, over-the-top decor is the best way for me to describe what I viewed. Bar Staff gave us a menu so that we were able to order cocktails. Dinner Menu, Lunch Menu, their "Sexy Sunday" Brunch Menu - All of these have various Seafood options - including a Sushi Bar as well as Gyoza, Tempura, Fried Rice, etc. Cocktails, sake & mocktail options are available. Sexy Fish was definitely an experience. When I say it was a party going on, that is an understatement-lol. The DJ played music and people were standing in their chairs dancing. Boy, it was high-energy, dance party vibes throughout the establishment. The cocktails we ordered were good. Our favorite thing at Sexy Fish is the bathroom. I know that this may sound crazy, but the Bathrooms are a highlight when visiting Sexy Fish. What makes the bathroom so great? Well, the "Pink" bathrooms layout , the beautiful colors, etc. - Sexy Fish really has cool bathrooms-lol. Oh, & everyone hangs out in the bathroom. We proceeded to have quite a few lovely conversations w/ dope people about how beautiful the bathroom is - lol. People were taking pictures, etc. Happy Hour - Mon. - Fri. - 4pm - 7pm Thurs. - Sat. - 10m - Close Sun. - 5pm - 7pm Lunch - Mon. - Sat. - 12pm - 4pm. Includes a Starter, Main & a Dessert ($34). Sexy Fish has a Standard and Bottomles Brunch Menu. sexyfishmiami.com @sexyfishmiami

    Is there a minimum spend per person if you aren't in a large party?

    I didn't run into a minimum amount I had to spend nor did I see anything like this on the menu or mentioned when I went. I was in a group of 4. 3 Adults 1 kid

    When does the party start? What ist the best time to book a table?

    I believe 9 or 10 pm the dancers and DJ start!

    Where is the garage parking?

    I'm not sure there is one but there is plenty of street parking near by or right out front of the restaurant

    Is dinner kids friendly?

    No. The menu is more tapas style. Not really kid friendly unless your kid has an advanced palate.

    Kids friendly for lunch?

    You may take your kiddos but it's more of an adult ambiance as well as the menu.

    Do you still have the lunchtime set menu?

    Yes, the lunchtime menu has a normal menu and then a set menu also.

    1. Are you open 7 days a week now, and what are the times? 2. Can you order bites, appetizers at the bar section?

I think they fit Miami well, and are slight twists in classic drink options. Our bartender was awesome. She was super knowledgeable and helpful in making recommendations as we decided what to order, and you can tell she really put effort into making sure the drinks were good. The drinks were really good! My only complaint is the price. Of course handcrafted cocktails are expensive, especially in Miami, but wow. The drinks were really small, and had so much ice that they ended up being not very many sips at all. They were definitely good, but the very small size for almost $20 a drink was kind of outrageous.

The bar was lit, poppin' and vibrant. We were waiting by the end of the counter where they checked out other patrons near the sitting area. We were overlooked many times... I locked eyes with one of the bartender and she completely looked away from me.. several times :( took about 15 minutes and we reached our arms out and flagged bartender Reilly. Her greeting and attention was genuine so I was happy to get her. Unfortunately, she got busy and we got the initial lady that ignored us. She was not kind, not attentive and didn't really want to help us - she was very fake. With that being said, we had to remind her of our drinks after 20 minutes of placing the order, in which she responded with an attitude "it's being made. We're busy" -_- -_- :( the attitude was not needed. We watched others that came in before us being served. :( I was completely annoyed and upset. She didn't even bring the drinks to us like the other bartenders were doing, she made us get it. Poor service from this one bartender while the others were happy and servicing their patrons. After our first drinks, I noticed she spoke to her colleague and he came over and asked if we wanted to close out.. . Wtf kicking us out? We said no and he opened a tab. When she noticed we were ordering more, she was a bit more attentive. So wrong. Luckily, the drinks were delicious. Perfect. We did end up coming back to the Lasseter and got a gentleman bartender that was so kind and attentive and made our drinks even better! The attention to detail and love he made in my drinks, so that is why I decided to make make this a 3 stars rather than two. He saved this place. The toilet sitting area is very warm, not very air conditioned properly so expect to be a little warm especially after a couple of sips. It's also the walkway to an actual big restrooms for the whole building. The drinks are VERY pricy but the setting is perfect and makes up for it. Unfortunately, the service was not up to par. Disney priced drinks without the Disney customer service. Do I want to come back? Yes. Am I going to be picky with the vibes coming from the bartender and chose who to go to? Also yes. Hopefully, I can increase the rating.

The speakeasy atmosphere is outstanding--walking through the iconic red phone booth feels like stepping into another era, only with much better bourbon. Victoria was an absolute rockstar. She took some fantastic photos of our group (which is no small feat after a couple of perfectly made Manhattans), anticipated everything we needed, and somehow managed to make us feel like regulars on our first visit. Speaking of Manhattans... they're exactly the way we like them: balanced, boozy, and dangerously easy to order "just one more." Pair that with a great cigar, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that somehow feels both upscale and relaxed, and you've got one of the best spots in Miami to unwind. We came for a drink. We stayed for the cigars. We left wondering if we should install a red phone booth at home. We'll definitely be back--and hopefully Victoria will still be there to remind us that "one more Manhattan" is always a questionable life decision.

Anywayssss, when I caught the winds that there was a new sound bar in downtown, I NEEDED to be there. The concept of the sound bar is some type of Asian thing, I don't really know. But where in Asia there might be a few monks sitting around in silence listening to gongs or whatever, Miami goes BIG! Finding parking in downtown Miami on a Saturday is virtually impossible unless you bribe a valet servant with cash. So that's what I did. My ladyfriend and I arrived early to the sound bar, and there was already a hearty swarm of brodents and thots lined up to get in. Some crack head outside was shouting about IPA's. I told the door servant that I knew the DJ or something like that, and he let us right in. Once inside, the bar has that edgy big city, small hallway type of vibe. You could barely stand around in there, let alone get to the bar to order a drink. The mix of flapping gums and mixologists concocting cocktails made for a cacophonous distraction from the actual "music" we were there to "listen" to. My ladyfriend and I ducked out across the street to Black Market Miami Bar where the game was on and you could actually order a drink that didn't cost $50+. After a few libations, we headed back to Miami Sound Machine Bar (they need to put 'Miami' in every bar's name down here in case you forget where you are). There was a weird looking guy playing depressing vinyls with singing in different languages. I was more in the mood for something upbeat and groovy like salsa or merengue that I could dance to with my girls. Although I did hear the 12" Andrew Weatherall remix of Happy Mondays "Hallelujah" at some point, a staple at the Haçienda nightclub in Manchester - an institution that shook the music world and changed club culture forever. The head servant at the bar looked like Nirvana (yes, one man looking like a whole band). He was jaded and rude. I don't blame him! As the night wore on, the crowd got larger and more deplorable, and the room got smaller and smaller. I got stuck in an awkward conversation waiting to use the bathroom. I don't think sound bars are for me. Pros: The bar across the street had really fair drink prices, and the servants are polite and efficient. Cons: the ratchet yuppies that inhabit Miami's nightlife, always on the prowl to ruin a subculture with their tackiness.
