A wonderful venue for any occasion, in my humble opinion. We were in a clear sided tent which was well illuminated and the air conditioning did not disappoint. The management has contacts for event management, music, food, decor, etc. I do not know if the family brought in their own music and catering or used the venue's, but both were very good. Highly recommend!

We attended a wedding reception at the Penthouse at Riverside Wharf in downtown Miami and had a…read morewonderful time. This is a great event venue mainly for a couple reasons: 1. It has excellent elevated views of the Miami skyline to the east and the Miami River, boats, and the W Flagler St Drawbridge (historical landmark, built in 1938) to the west. I believe the penthouse is located on the 10th floor of a relatively new building. 2. The venue is modern and versatile. The inside spaces (including restrooms) had a clean, updated look. For this event, there were multiple bars and food stations set up both indoors and outdoors. The dance floor was outside. The combination of string lights, rooftop patio decor, and the city skyline was beautiful. There was only one elevator to get everyone up and down, so there was a bottleneck there. They brought in a fire dancer to perform outside on the rooftop, which was really cool.

There's limited street parking, but there's an adjacent parking lot. I'd recommend using a valet service if you are hosting an event here. I absolutely loved the views here, which is why this place gets 5 stars!

I stayed here for 3 nights, for my back to back pre cruise stay, here is my review:…read more Good: Location, Location, Location. It's in downtown Miami, with lotsa restaurants nearby. There is a Whole Foods half a block away, and majority of the restaurants, including a CVS drug store are in that area, within 2/3 block away from the hotel. Bank atm are across the draw bridge. We didn't use the monorail for we are busy exploring the city by foot, lol. Not so good: The hotel restaurant, Riverview bar and grill - Although lovely, the menu was limiting, the same menu for both lunch and dinner. The wagyu burger was expensive for what you get and bland in taste at best. It's like it's been out there for awhile and just waiting to be order, it's also dry. Cruise line hamburger were much better in taste. The rest of my order including the drinks were delicious ! Solution: Need to expand their menu items. For a " regency" hotel, I was surprised it was very limiting. Expand the dinner menu, I saw a couple of people having dinner at the restaurant, probably fellow cruisers like us. The African American lady host was friendly, hospitable and kind. Reception/ Customer Service - My reservation requires a pre-payment at time of booking, one night stay charged, approximately $200.00, it's already been charged and cleared by my Ccard company some hyatt hotel only do Ccard authorization anywhere between $1.00 - $50.00 when reservation requires a pre-payment. But why in the world, this young Latino man charged me the entire 3 night stay at check in for $927.00 ? My Ccard decline the authorization, I asked to try again was but declined again. Didn't say anything nor didn't apologize either. Imagined my shocked and embarrassment !!! I told him to hold on, scramble my finances for about 5 mins and told him to try again, it went thru this time, but again no apology no word, just handed me my keys and that was it. Maybe the hotel manager need to address the issue re: paid - pre-payment authorization vs credits card authorization at check in. That " too young to know, too young to care mentality" never fails. Noise: For the most part, the hotel is quiet, it just those stupid, ignorant, cacky race car drivers who thinks they own the road, by blasting their (borrowed) sports car engine all day and night ! Not the hotel fault! They were having a renovation/ repair in the lobby while we were there . This hotel is hopping with flight attendants stays and hotel sponsored events. I will stay again for the convenience!

We ordered a ton, and right off the bat: if you love croquetas and empanadas, order extra. They're on the smaller side and come individually, but they are so good they disappear fast. The beef empanadas were a 10/10 perfectly seasoned and crispy. The chicken empanadas didn't hit the same for me, but the jamón croquetas? Absolutely insane. A must. For appetizers, the prawns al ajillo were delicious super flavorful and cooked perfectly. We also tried the grilled octopus, which was good, but not my favorite. It leaned a bit bland for my taste, even with the sauce. Now, the must-get: the carnitas with pickled onions. Easily one of the best dishes of the night so flavorful, tender, and perfectly balanced. For entrées, we had the ribeye steak and arroz con pollo, plus sides of tostones and yuca. Everything here delivered. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right not overly salty. The arroz con pollo was phenomenal, the kind of dish you could eat every single day. The tostones were crispy and tossed in garlic, which took the flavor to another level, and the yuca was melt-in-your-mouth good. I also ordered a mojito, which unfortunately was very watered down, I barely got any of that classic mojito flavor. Service overall was solid, especially considering how loud the restaurant gets it was honestly hard to hear each other at the table, so shoutout to our server for keeping everything straight. The appetizers came out quickly, back-to-back, which we loved. The only downside was the wait for the entrées they took quite a while after we finished the apps, even though we ordered everything at once. Overall, amazing food, great energy, and definitely worth going just be prepared for a lively (and loud) atmosphere.

Built in 1939, the restored mezzanine level began serving as an elegant special event space in 2001. A former bank headquarters, the 22,000-square-foot space with two distinct ballrooms boasts wall-to-wall marble flooring, hand-painted cypress wood ceilings, original brass scrollwork on gates, and original teller windows and bank vaults. I don't love the walk from the parking garage to the venue (you go through a lobby) and then you can go upstairs by escalator, walking or one of the 5 elevators to your venue (one is a service elevator). It is a huge space but I think the main issue is the drive to the venue and the surrounding area to the Bldg. not the best. So you need to decide if that's ok with you...
