We tried their iberico ham, roasted artichokes, eggplant and pepper, pork cheek, and house bread. We enjoyed every dish and ordered seconds of the pork cheek and bread! As these are small plates, and their menu is limited, I would suggest ordering one of their rice dishes. Although we did not try it this time, I would expect it quality to be consistent across the whole menu. The wait staff were super friendly and provided us with lots of good advice and recommendations for our order. Overall we had a good time at this restaurant.

Honestly I have mixed feelings about Zuma, mostly due to higher expectations set because of my…read morewife's prior experience there (raved about it) and others recommendations. Don't get me wrong, they are still excellent, but this is more of a 4.4 than a true 5 star. For me Zuma had a pleasant ambiance, lots of beautiful people, great outdoor seating to watch the yachts go by. So if that's what you are looking for, this is a good place to stop in. Also I give them points for not rushing you even though in their policy there is a seating time limit. We ended up just ordering the premium omakase, and that was quite a bit of food. I am glad I didn't order extras like I usually like to do at an Omakase. While the food in general is good and enjoyable, there was nothing very memorable, other than their Lava cake. That was to die for! And I skips dessert 99% of the time. Service was good but not stellar, could be because they had wait staff in training (during table service, our server didn't really know how to properly shave a truffle and another staff had to take over. Our courses are mumbled, doesn't sound like our server was confident about what the food is)

An Evening at Yamashiro…read more I had the pleasure of dining at Yamashiro on Wednesday evening with my best friend, and from start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. It was one of those evenings where every detail--from the food and cocktails to the atmosphere and hospitality--came together beautifully. We started with cocktails. I ordered the Downtown Abbey made with Ketel One Vodka, guava, gold lavender syrup, yuzu, and Prosecco. At $22, it was beautifully balanced--refreshing, elegant, and, most importantly, not overly sweet. The combination of guava, lavender, and yuzu gave it a lovely balance of fruit, floral notes, and acidity. My friend enjoyed a passion fruit margarita, which was equally delicious and a perfect way to begin the evening. For our first course, we ordered several dishes to share. The Katsu Tender Sando was absolutely incredible--easily one of the highlights of the meal. It was so flavorful and satisfying that I could have happily ordered another one. The Cucumber Tataki Salad was the perfect contrast: crisp, tangy, refreshing, and light. It brought a beautiful freshness to the table and helped balance some of the richer dishes. We also had the steamed edamame with truffle, which was such a simple dish elevated by the addition of truffle. It was a subtle but very nice touch and showed how a familiar ingredient can feel completely different with the right finishing element. For our second course, we shared a sashimi and nigiri platter, and the quality of the fish really stood out. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, delicate, and beautifully prepared. Each piece allowed the natural flavor and texture of the fish to shine without being overwhelmed by unnecessary additions. For our main course, we had the ribeye steak, which was rich, flavorful, and perfectly suited for sharing. But if I had to choose one absolute favorite from the savory courses, it would be the miso butter corn. The combination of sweet corn with the savory richness of miso butter was incredible. It was one of those dishes that sounds simple but ends up being something you keep thinking about after the meal. We finished dinner with a lava cake, which was the perfect indulgent ending to the meal. But the evening didn't end there. After dinner, we were invited to experience the new 400 Vinyls room, and honestly, this was one of my favorite parts of the entire night. The room has a completely different energy while still maintaining the sophistication of Yamashiro. The atmosphere feels elevated yet warm and homey, making it an incredibly comfortable place to settle in and enjoy the rest of the evening. And then came the dirty martini--possibly one of the best dirty martinis I've ever had. Made with Beluga Gold, it was beautifully executed and exactly the kind of cocktail you want to end an evening with. The music was another highlight. It was incredibly diverse, with something for everyone, and it created an atmosphere that felt lively without becoming overwhelming. The 400 Vinyls room is truly the kind of space where you can see yourself staying for "just one more drink" and suddenly realizing you've spent the rest of the night there. Overall, Yamashiro gave us much more than just a great dinner. It was a complete experience--from the food and cocktails to the setting, music, and transition into the 400 Vinyls room. It felt sophisticated without being pretentious, intimate without being too quiet, and energetic without losing its sense of elegance. It was the perfect night out with my best friend, and 400 Vinyls was the perfect way to end it.

A rare dining experience, A gem in the MIA…read more If I ever get to dine here again, It will be a gloriously delicious day! It's The Hungry Poet back at it y'all, and I must say, this was one of the most eclectic, sexy, fully satisfying food experiences of my life. From the time you walk in the vibe is we have a dress code and if you didn't follow it you're gonna stick out like a sore thumb! But this a place where you wanna be in sync with the vibe. It's intoxicating (and I don't drink!) When we entered there was nothing that could prepare me for the open roof-garden vibe. The dim lights and chill, ethereal music set the tone. Service and the food recommendations they made...spectacular. The service team was extremely knowledgeable about every dish. The dining pace is as such: order everything at once and they keep the items rolling out steadily. Dishes are made to share. But don't fight your table mates. The food is THAT good! The Katsu Sando is to die for. Maybe not die, but I might give a limb for it. Okay, a toe. It's disturbingly delicious and worth the price. I have to forget it exists or I'd crave it every day! All the sushi was uniquely flavored. Each roll was its own special treat for the palate, and had a flavor identity that was memorable and unlike anything I've ever tasted. The kimchi sauce that came with the goyza had a beautiful composition, not too spicy. That dessert was crazy flavorful and unlike any dessert I've ever eaten. It may sound like I'm exaggerating but an every minute of this dinner blew me away. Grab a reservation and treat yourself...it's worth the drive 100%. Another review giving it to you straight no chaser from Lizz aka The Hungry Poet.

I wasn't a fan of the chili oil it seemed like I was given garlic oil because I didn't see any chili seeds. That was the only thing I wasn't a fan of. The Korean glass noodles were extremely HOT like they were still on the stove and I love that so much. I enjoy hot food. The portion size is definitely worth the price.

Refreshing drinks and a beautiful atmosphere…read more Stopped by Sovereign in Miami and tried the Thai tea latte and Butterfly Lychee. The Thai tea latte was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with that classic bold tea flavor and subtle sweetness. The Butterfly Lychee was refreshing, light, and visually stunning, with a delicate floral note and fruity lychee flavor that made it feel perfect for Miami's warm weather. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the staff were happy to answer questions about the drink menu. The vibe is modern, stylish, and relaxing, with a beautiful interior that makes it a great place to catch up with friends, work remotely, or simply enjoy a drink. The space feels thoughtfully designed and inviting. Overall, a lovely café experience with well-crafted drinks and a great atmosphere. I'd definitely come back to try more of their specialty beverages.

Osaka Brickell: Extraordinary…read more My wife and I visited Osaka in Brickell, Miami, this evening--and I was so impressed that I rushed home to write this review. The Verdict In one word: extraordinary. We loved it. Restaurants often use the word "fusion" loosely, but at Osaka, it truly applies. The menu delivers Peruvian and Japanese fusion at its best: a thoughtful blend of South American and Japanese flavors, with each bite offering a beautifully engineered explosion of taste. Food The food is creative, beautifully presented, and genuinely unique--but Osaka offers much more than great dishes. Our server, Yesenia, guided us with recommendations that balanced our preferences with the restaurant's signature flavors, including a remarkably fresh sashimi amuse-bouche, Kiiro ceviche, a Hongos Teppan trumpet mushroom dish that was not listed on the menu, and a Nikkei Makimono that brought Peruvian flavors into a traditional sushi roll. The restaurant manager, Miki, also checked in during our meal. The service was casual, attentive, and perfect. Ambiance is paid to every detail. We ate at the sushi bar, but the main dining area was spectacular, and the bar area was sublime. Lastly, the music was a combination (fusion) of new age, Peruvian jungle music and Japanese sounds all blended into a crescendo on the experience. Try it....you'll love it. Ten out of ten !

I highly recommend the ceviche and rolls! The presentation of the dishes was also great The drinks are also great here! Although it was busy I didn't feel cramped inside, the decor is very modern. Great spot for a special occasion or if you want to have an amazing meal!

The hovering over people in this tiny, little whole in the wall restaurant felt overwhelming. I started to lose my patience being that there is so much staff standing around and found myself several times having to pour my own wine bottle. 2nd, I told them it was my son's birthday and nobody went out of their way to make his birthday special! And just a fair warning, you will spend over a $1000 dollars and walk out of there still very hungry! What a disappointment!

We got there a bit before our reservation time, and they let us sit in the smaller dining area as we waited for our spots to open up. We all did the $200 tasting and we were all pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety of the bites. It's 8 courses that range from a nigiri sampler, small bites, and dessert. Most memorable were the clam broth, beef loin and carrots, and the fatty tuna nigiri with caviar on top. The fatty tuna nigiri with caviar was the main reason I wanted the tasting! There is an à la carte menu too, but it was a lot easier just letting the chefs portion out our meal. Would definitely check them out and enjoy a superb evening out!
