With both indoor and outdoor seating, the vibe here is relaxing and chill. I ordered the Cuban sandwich, chicken soup and a passion fruit mule. Drink was deliciously refreshing. Loved the soup as it felt and tasted homemade. The sandwich definitely a great value, for it was huge! Enough for me to take away for dinner. Service was friendly during my visit. There wasn't much of a wait time for my food, which made my experience better given I was on my lunch hour.

Our waitress was warm and welcoming, greeting us with a pleasant smile and helping us choose our meals by offering thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences. I selected the fish stew served over rice with plantains, while my husband chose the garlic shrimp with rice and black beans. We did not leave a single bite on our plates. The food was absolutely delicious -- each dish was balanced, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Although dessert was tempting, we declined because we were both completely full and satisfied.

We were not happy with our hotel choice (only one of two hotels in Miami with which Virgin Voyages…read morehas a relationship apparently) but this restaurant, located inside the hotel, turned our frowns upside down. We had two breakfasts here as well as drinks and dinner. The food is top-notch. Good little surprises, like the use of guava instead of maple syrup on the French Toast. The decor is lovely; clearly Cuban but nice and clean, a modern-take on Cuba. The staff are excellent. If you're here for drinks, have a Guava Mule. Why have the same old same old Mojito; try something different. Just be aware: If memory serves (It's been two weeks since we checked out of the hotel), Cana adds an 18% gratuity to ALL checks. So look at your check BEFORE you calculate the tip.

My husband and I ate one dinner here. The seating host promptly seated us at a spacious and clean table, but our server was away for an extremely long time before taking our order. The dining room had a colorful and interesting interior design. I ate the Chilean sea bass with asparagus, and it was oily but tasted good. My husband ate the pollo asado chicken, and he said that it had no flavor! He did, however, like the sides of rice, beans, and plantains. The total price was $103 plus a tip.

A Florida restaurant right on the water with great views and good food? Yes, please. Crazy About…read moreYou is nicely appointed with a bit of charming quirk woven into the decor. I stopped in for lunch after a work meeting and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. I needed a "steak break," so I opted for the "I Can't Believe It's Not Carbonara"--and I have zero noodle regrets! The zucchini substitute combined with a delicious carbonara sauce meant there was no concern about the lack of traditional pasta. The zucchini more than filled the role, and I certainly appreciated the caloric savings. The chicken was also well-cooked, flavorful, and moist. I especially loved the tableside delivery and the unique touch of being served directly from a colander. The order isn't huge, which I appreciated, it felt the right size for lunch without weighing down your afternoon. Now, there were likely no calorie savings with the Serrano Ham Croquettes, but they are small and easily shareable if you want to spread the love. They are a true step up and a legitimate treat compared to run-of-the-mill mozzarella sticks. The decor kitsch continues right until the end--the check arrived in an old-school lunchbox! The staff were great throughout the meal, making for a seamless and enjoyable lunch.

Hello, If I was the…read moreowner Cortadito location at Brickell Avenue, I would be extremely embarrassed to have someone like Rebecca representing the business due to the poor level of professionalism and customer service she displayed today. First, there was no "good afternoon" or "how can I help you?" when I approached. Second, I requested a cortadito with a small amount of sugar and cinnamon -- the same request that is accommodated at the Miami Beach location (Lincoln Road). Rebecca responded with a very unpleasant attitude, saying, "We don't put sugar in the cortadito." Dear Rebecca: when a customer requests specific preferences, the proper response is to accommodate the request whenever possible, not respond dismissively. Customer service is about hospitality, flexibility, and making guests feel welcomed. Unfortunately, Rebecca appears to lack both proper customer service training and the values expected when dealing with customers. Cortadito's brand and standards deserve much better representation.
