The happy hour specials and prices were just too good to pass! We truly enjoyed every single food item we ordered, which is quite rare for me and my husband.

Food (1-10) 10 the best Appetizers - Honey Biscuits (10) - Hot, fluffy, and the strawberry preserve made me have a flashback moment to my Grandma's house. 1) Chicken & Waffles (9) - Hot, crispy, & moist especially the breast. Seasoned well enough but the honey hot sauce added that extra kick. Waffles were fine and the watermelon cubes did not work for me. I observed several other people's plates, and most of them did not eat them. 2.) Braised Short Ribs (9) - My wife's favorite. "Lord have mercy." The meat was so tender, seasoned and the mashed potatoes underneath were spot on. Great dish 3) Salmon - (8) - Good, a family member main course. They were raving about it. 4) Brussels sprouts & Fried Okra (10) - Both were in a small cast-iron skillet. If you're from down south you know what that means. Hot, crispy, and seasoned to perfection. Somebody on the Sous-chef line knows exactly what they are doing. Service - (8) Friendly & attentive server. Now they automatically tack on 18% gratuity and ask for an additional tip. Also, the sales tax is ridiculously high. Not knocking the hustle but I don't want anybody to be surprised.

Pretty cool to know that they have been rated as one of the 50 best bars in the WORLD. That's a pretty big achievement to accomplish. Parking can be tricky, you may find street parking. If not you can park at the lot by the beach. Other than that, you should be right on your way to having a great night.

The atmosphere feels energetic without being overwhelming, and the music sets the mood really well and they have TV in case that's important to you lol. The food absolutely stands out -- everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The menu has a great variety, and you can tell they really care about quality and presentation. Drinks were just as impressive: well-balanced cocktails, strong pours, and creative options if you're in the mood to try something new. Service was friendly, attentive, and fast without feeling rushed. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations, which always makes the experience even better. Overall, Bar Luca delivers great food, great drinks, and great energy. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and recommend if you're looking for a cool place to eat out in Miami.

Bar Luca is basically a small lobby bar/restaurant in a boutique hotel in Miami Beach. We came for happy hour to try a few different things which neither of us loved. The Chicken Wings seemed reheated and were small. The meatball was a single, and was a small portion for the price, especially considering happy hour. The drinks were ok and the staff friendly, so adding a star for that but not memorable enough for me to return.

Our waiter Nick was PHENOMENAL at his job and so so kind. We tried the large stone crab claws of course and although I liked how much meat you get compared to other crab / lobster, it tasted of very little and was kind of semi frozen almost? The sauce to dip in was really good. As for the sides, I liked them! Nothing was mind blowing but they were good. My favorite were the grilled tomatoes with spinach and cheese. SO flavorful and cheesy. The corn was pretty average, just mostly limey. I did really like the potatoes lyonnaise though perhaps some cheese would've brought it to the next level.

They somehow…read moreinstantly know when you are a visitor, and at first, the service is overly nice, almost like they are rolling out the red carpet. You feel special, flattered, and excited to sit down. And then... poof. As soon as you are seated, it is like you evaporated from their memory. You are there, but apparently invisible, and suddenly all that charm vanishes. The food came out cold, which would have been fine if it were still tasty, but sadly, it was neither warm nor particularly good. They took it away to "fix it," but the damage was done. I lost track of how many times I saw our waiter after that, and unfortunately, it wasn't enough to make up for what I paid or for the experience that had already gone off the rails. You can forgive a small mistake, but when the cold food and disappearing service team are combined, it feels like a comedy of errors. So let me give you some friendly advice: stay away. Stay away. Stay away. Unless you are looking for a dining experience that doubles as a lesson in how quickly customer service can vanish, do yourself a favor and avoid this place. I'll admit it had story value for me, and I left with a funny tale to tell, but as far as eating out in Miami goes, there are far better options that won't make you question if you were ever seated in the first place.

The service for lunch was very good but there was no improvement in the food and we had to send a number of dishes back. Two days after I was invited to a breakfast meeting with a group of a dozen people who live and work in Brazil and Argentina that we use and are very close partners for our companies. The restaurant opens at 8 and the trade show we attend opens at 9. We got seated at 8:10 and ordered. I got avocado toast and it is unknown what everyone got but my toast was overdone and the avocado was unfavorable. I went to wash my hands prior to eating and it looked like nothing was cleaned from the day before and no towels to dry after washing. The company of my South American friends was the only redeeming thing of this breakfast and I will recommend moving somewhere else for next year.

Everyone seemed to be playing. We arrived to late to join. The place was packed yet there were only two servers. Our server was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. However she managed to keep up with out party of 9. There were times we were waiting for assistance however we could see she wasn't just sitting on her ass. We order burgers, flat breads, tenders and steak tacos. Steak tacos were horrible Burgers were delicious Flatbread were good Tenders definitely looked like they were frozen tenders from the grocer. The beverages were nice not too strong but not weak. We were kinda profiled however as a black person you get use to it. My husband and brother stepped out for a smoke break..although everyone else was still seated at the table. We watched security run out after them. We laughed cause they looked stupid. When security ran out there they pretended to be looking at something when they noticed they guys were right outside the door. Irish pub we didn't expect any less.

I realized that I had not actually been to this location since it was The Playwright (or whatever it was called) 4 or 5 years ago. The updated interior is nice - very "pubby" - and they offer a good variety of seating from bar seats to high-tops to couches. Two things here that were standouts: First, the burger is one of the best burgers I've had on South Beach. So much so that I'm craving it again this morning. They've done a good job with the menu in that it still has all those bar foods that you look for in a place like this, but they've put some thought into elevating a number of items (e.g. the short rib poutine!) Second, the service was great. Our server (sorry, can't remember his name - a nice guy from Kendall) was very friendly and provided excellent service. As many reviews mention, this is definitely a place to watch a game. While we weren't there for this purpose last night, the TV setup is great and I could def see myself camping out there with a few beers on a weekend afternoon. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I'll be back again for sure.

The atmosphere is unmatched, the food was incredible, and every space has its own perfect vibe while still feeling cohesive and luxurious. What really made it stand out though was the service. The manager personally checked on us multiple times to make sure we were fully taken care of, which made us feel so valued as guests. On top of that, we were even surprised with drinks on the house, which was such an unexpected and thoughtful touch. MILA isn't just dinner, it's a full experience. Whether you're there for the restaurant, drinks, brunch, or a night out, they absolutely know how to deliver on every level. Easily one of the most memorable spots in Miami.
