After noting this place had such a high overall rating on Yelp, we were really expecting good…read morethings - and since we like wine bars in general, we were excited to try Sospiro. Our first visit here was on a Tuesday night. We arrived a bit more than an hour before their posted closing time, but the place appeared to be empty. After waiting in the main bar/dining area for a few minutes with no one greeting us (though I could hear people talking back in what I believe is the kitchen) we decided to leave. We returned a few nights later after having dinner at nearby Flemings, were seated right away, given menus and we each ordered a glass of wine. After our wine was poured, we were basically forgotten about and we kind of felt like outsiders here, because most everyone at the bar and seated at 2 or 3 of the tables all seemed to know each other: The guy who'd been our server sat down at a table and ate/drank with the woman there. The guys seated at the bar grabbed glasses and served wine to women sitting at the other 2 stools, but there didn't seem to be any staff simply checking on the rest of us. The one employee who did later check in on some dining patrons was walking around with his 1/2 finished glass of wine in hand while doing so. Needless to say, our 2 visits here were both a bit odd. Service, at least for us was badly lacking, and compared to another wine bar and a few restaurants we patronize in this general area, the pours we were given here at Sospiro were a bit stingy. Sad, too, as we really enjoy good wine spots and were hoping we'd found a solid one in Sospiro. Not the case, at least in our experience.

We received great, friendly, and attentive service by Jofrey. We enjoyed the short rib tacos, oysters, meat balls, grilled olives from the happy hour menu and the mussels, beets burrata, and tiramisu tres leches from the main menu. Everything was flavorful and delicious. We also tried their Cool Breeze and Mula Naranja mocktails, but very different but refreshing. Absolutely enjoyed them. If you are in the area, do not hesitate to stop by. It's really nice place. *Tip was not automatically included on the bill and suggested tip started at 18%

And this trip I absolutely fell in love with the spinach cheese dip. My one complaint is why does it only come with three toasties? I had to ask for more, which they gladly accommodated me - and the same with the guys next to me. But if you're bringing me a whole bowl of deliciousness, I need more than three toasties with it!!!

The rooftop is cute, but with Miami's heat and humidity, it can get really uncomfortable up there, especially when there's little relief from the heat.

Overall, it's a nice spot for drinks and the rooftop vibe, but between the menu and the heat, I'm still on the fence about coming back. Maybe for another espresso martini!

The service was wonderful; both our server and the busser were extremely polite and attentive. However, since the server was handling all the indoor tables, it was occasionally hard to get her attention outside. A call button on the patio tables would be a great addition. As for the food, it was a mixed bag:, the gnocchi frito, the prosciutto and the Cacio Pepe was delicious and full of flavor! On the other hand, the milanese was quite bland, lacked enough arugula, and the parmesan crust was soft instead of crispy. They kindly offered a complimentary tiramisu after I shared my feedback, which was a nice touch. Overall, a lovely spot with great service, though kitchen quality and outdoor coverage could use a bit of fine tuning.

We came to celebrate a birthday and were seated on the terrace, which has a screen showing an image of a cabin with a pool and natural view. The screen allows you to adjust the mood of the area, from ambient music to music videos. At first it played elegant instrumental music, and once the night warmed up, with just one adjustment the festive vibe kicked in with salsa and Cuban music. The terrace is very well set up: it has ceiling fans, air conditioning units, plastic curtains to protect from rain and maintain the temperature, decorative trees, and warm lighting that makes it very cozy. For drinks we ordered Estrella Galicia Especial they arrived nice and cold and are served with a chilled glass. Our server was Dayana, and Helio Javier also took care of us; he was always attentive to everything we needed. I really liked the leather coasters with the restaurant's name. I also had the chance to chat with the owner, Jolver Blanco. The Serrano ham croquettes were very good. I ordered the tenderloin tips (puntas de solomillo) and the salmon was also excellent. The restaurant has a great variety of rooms and atmospheres on different levels: the wine cellar (cava), Spanish winery-style areas, the indoor bar with striking jellyfish decorations, the entrance, the restrooms, and other themed spaces. There's a vineyard-style room with a ceiling decorated with leaves and grapes, another with starry-sky lighting, and the "Cuarto de Tula" with a bed, Russian-style fan, and typical Cuban elements. They also have cigars/habanos available for sale. One of the most interesting details is the men's restroom: the paintings of women with playful expressions give the feeling that they are looking at you, which sparks the imagination and adds a very original and fun touch to the space. Overall, the décor is impressive and very well done. Excellent first impression

A true Spanish "restaurant" ambiance where even the servers were Spanish with whom you could talk about the old country. What a disappointment it was to see the place has transformed into a night club with Latin America music (with extensive profanity) so loud we couldn't even have a conversation or understand what the servers were saying. The menu changed for the worse, two of plates we wanted have been removed although they still show in the menu. Also remarkable the service was below pedestrian. Servers vaping and smoking hukka (not sure if spelled correctly) while serving. Maybe it is the ownership is aiming to a different audience, and as good capitalist, I wish them much success. However, those who like me used to love the old Xixon should know is gone. It is just not for me, my family and at least those accompanying us tonight. So long!
