Billed as Turkish-Greek, its decor is totally Turkish; the menu is mostly Turkish; and the women working there are Turkish - some not even speaking English if you have a question! We were greeted with the usual olive oil and warmed pita tips. Very nice. We chose appetizers and were not equally wowed. The muhammara was good, but served without more pita. Disappointing. My husband tried the stuffed grapeleaves. I suspect they were taken from a can, not homemade. I asked if they could grill the calamari, to avoid fried food. The chef kindly complied, but it needed more cooking. I'm glad other reviewers enjoyed their choices and had complimentary tea or wine.

Some of Miami's most beautiful waterfront restaurants are easy to miss, and Yaya's Coastal Cuisine…read moreis one of those hidden gems that's absolutely worth discovering. Tucked away in a quiet corner on the water, the moment you walk in, you're transported into what feels like an eclectic Mediterranean cave. The warm textures, glowing lights, and tranquil atmosphere instantly set the mood. It's unexpected, inviting, and the perfect escape from the city's hustle. But let's talk about the real star--the food. I had the chance to experience both the Miami Spice dinner menu and Sunday brunch, and honestly, I couldn't pick a favorite dish if I tried. Every plate was beautifully presented, full of fresh coastal flavors, and had its own unique twist. Whether you're craving seafood, brunch classics, or something adventurous, there's truly something for everyone. What makes Yaya's even more special is the experience. Thank you to Angel who is a dear friend and the guy to go see....grab a table by the water, watch the boats drift by, and if you time it right, enjoy a magical full moon night complete with live DJs and mesmerizing fire dancers. It's dinner with a show, Miami style. If you're looking for more than just a meal--for a place that captures the energy, beauty, and waterfront magic of Miami--Yaya's Coastal Cuisine deserves a spot on your list. Come hungry, stay for the ambiance, and let the night surprise you. I promise you its worth every penny!

We repeatedly had to go out of our way to flag someone down just to order drinks or check on our food, while noticing that nearby tables were consistently attended to without issue. It genuinely felt like we were being overlooked, which made the entire experience frustrating and uncomfortable. What made matters worse is that gratuity was automatically included, so we were forced to tip for service that simply did not meet even basic expectations. I'm not one to leave negative reviews, but this experience stood out for the wrong reasons. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works to ensure all guests receive equal attention and service.

It's very unique, intimate, and different from a lot of other spots in Miami. I have yet to actually dine at Fooq's, but we were able to try a good amount of the food through the catering. We had different types of skewered meats and kebabs, along with a variety of their dips and hummus. Everything was so good and flavorful. I especially loved the different dips with the pita. Everything tasted really fresh, and the meats were cooked really well. The service was also great throughout the event. There's plenty of street parking around the restaurant, which is always a plus. I definitely want to come back and actually dine at Fooq's and try more of their menu, especially their happy hour!

The tzatziki is so good, along with the spicy feta and hummus. Their pita bread is also amazing, super fresh, soft, and flavorful. I tried the chicken kebab at the event as well, and it was seasoned really well and had a ton of flavor. Since I only got a small taste of the menu at the event, I decided to come in a couple of weeks later to try their Miami Spice menu. The menu itself felt a little limited for me since it was mostly the dips as an appetizer, a few kebab options for the main course, and dessert. Since I had already tried the kebab, I decided to order from the regular menu instead. I went with the Wagyu picanha with broccolini and pineapple sauce. The Wagyu was pretty good, but the sauce wasn't what I expected. I didn't really get much pineapple flavor from it, and it tasted more oily and onion-forward to me. The fries were good, and of course I ordered the dips again, which are still probably my favorite thing here. The space itself is very moody and vibey. It's a cute spot to grab a bite with friends or come by for drinks. Our waiters were attentive throughout the meal, and parking was pretty easy since there's a parking lot as well as plenty of street parking nearby. I would definitely come back for the dips, pita, and chicken kebab.

That was especially disappointing because when you think of Middle Eastern cuisine, those kinds of sauces just aren't typical or authentic. Overall, it was a very underwhelming experience.

The sophisticated, modern interior is adorned with various pieces of art that make the space truly beautiful. The menu highlights seafood from its various appetizers to rice/pallela and dishes from the josper. We ordered from both the Miami Spice menu and from the a la carte menu, since we anticipated smaller portions, and are glad we did. Like other Spanish restaurants, the focus here is on ordering a variety of tapas/family style dishes to share. The welcome pintxo featuring serrano ham was a good way to start the meal. We had a wide range of dishes, ranging from the following: Appetizers - Burrata salad, watermelon and almond pesto - Pata negra and parmesan croquettes - Black cod piquillo peppers - Crystal bread toast with Spanish escalibada Sides - Potato millefeuille with baked apple Entrees - Dover Sole, capers and citric beurre - Branzino filet "al horno" Desserts - Manchego cheese fondant with vanilla ice cream - Caramel chocolate mousse, coffee & dark chocolate gelees The food itself took us on a culinary journey! The pata negra and parmesan croquettes were amazing, as were the crystal bread toasts with Spanish escalibada. If we could order full plates of just those appetizers, I think we may on a future visit! The black cod piquillo peppers and Potato millefeuille with baked apple were very unique as appetizers and sides. The dover sole is among the best fish dishes I've had in Miami-- this is right up there with the one I've had at Klaw. The manchego cheese fondant with vanilla ice cream is also a dessert that we'll be dreaming about going forward! While the food was excellent, why the 3 star rating? Yelp does not allow half ratings otherwise this would be a 3.5/5 stars. The issue we had was with the service tapering off throughout our dinner. We understand that Monday nights are slow, but after great service to start, it did take a while to get our food, and it felt like "higher spend" tables ordering wine were the priority. It also took us a while to get our check as a result. It felt like we were "forgotten about" at certain times. Hopefully this service hiccup can get corrected in the future and match the quality of the food and the expensive price point it commands. We are looking forward to a return visit in the future to try out their tasting menu!

I went with three of my girlfriends, and we had the best time from start to finish. The atmosphere is unreal, every 30 minutes or so, dancers come out and perform choreographed routines that are just beautiful to watch. The lighting, the energy, everything feels elevated. The music leans more toward disco and electronic, which was such a refreshing change and perfect for the vibe. The prices are pretty standard for downtown Miami, but honestly, for the quality of the experience, service, and food, I found it very reasonable. Our total came out to around $460 including tip, and we had about three rounds of drinks plus several dishes to share. Highly recommend the "Field of Dreams" cocktail, it's a gin and lavender drink and absolutely delicious. Food-wise, everything exceeded expectations. The risotto hot pot was incredible, creamy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor (which is rare because risotto can be hit or miss). The truffle pizzetta was amazing, the Wagyu sushi was delicious, and the Pata Negra burrata salad was another standout. A huge shoutout to our server, Gigi!!!! she made our night. Even though the place was packed, the service was impeccable. She and the team were constantly checking in, making sure we had water, and keeping everything running smoothly. Around 11, the whole place transforms, the music gets louder, the lights dim, and it turns into more of a club vibe. They even let you dance on the tables, which was really fun. What really impressed me is that even during all of that, the staff would still come by to clean and maintain the tables. It was such a memorable night, 1000/10 experience. I would absolutely go again and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, high-energy night out in Miami.
