Bar menu 1/2 off all drinks 6-8pm

Candela is located right in the heart of Mary Brickell Village and is a nice spot with outdoor seating for people watching. The restaurant used to be called Cuzco and is still a Peruvian restaurant with some flair. The server was friendly and eager to please. He recommended a good Malbec "Forever Young" (I wish ha!) which is $9 a glass usually but during happy hour 4.50! I ordered the raw oysters and when they came I asked for horseradish and cocktail sauce (usually standard with raw oysters) au contraire here apparently. Maybe there was a loss in translation but I asked for these things and the server was extremely confused. He first brought me tabasco sauce and then said he needed to speak to the kitchen poor thing. He truly went out of his way to try to help. He returned about 5 minutes later with a confused look on his face and gave me the horseradish as well as what he called a side sauce (it was cocktail sauce) He warned me that the kitchen staff advised him horseradish was very potent and to be careful. Haha The oysters were fresh and the place seemed to fill up. The table next to me was having pisco spurs which looked amazing as well as some appetizers. I would return during happy hour as drink prices were great.

This plce is located at the heart of brickell.. We came here as our supplier recommended it... I though to myself another nice Peruvian rest.... What a surprise!! Maybe the best Peruvian restaurant I have been in Miami!! The complete experience was very good... We were greeted by Nilton who took great care of us... Explained very well how the menu worked and also explained why they use a fresh Tilapia (this one was quite good)!! And suggested a Special Ceviche... It was very good... Tasty well prepared and balanced. Then he recommended the Sea Bass for me with some kind of noodles as a bed of the Fish... This was quite good and well cooked... Balanced, fresh and tasty as well!!! My colleagues were also very happy with their selections!!! The place is clean, has outside tables and a nice bar area inside! Good ambiance as well... This place I will for sure come back! Enjoy

Came here on a Friday night for a work holiday event. Located in the brickell area there is plenty of street parking and garage parking. It is located on the first floor. The service was good and bartenders as well. Those who were part of the event got a wrist band. We ordered an appetizer plate which included slices and pieces of sausage, chicken, steak, with fries and potatoes. Also came with two sauces: chimichurri and a cilantro sauce. The music was also good and everyone was dancing having a good time. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was at how dark it was everywhere but the bar! The bar had red lights around, but when you turned to look at everyone dancing behind you, you could not make anyone out because it was so dark! I think a little extra lighting around would be perfect. Overall fun place to go to for a night out!

I have been in this restaurant a couple of times since they opened, I admit that I have comeback cause every time I'm there I see other people dishes and they look so fantastic thet I say to my self "I will come back for that"..... I have had the Grilled Octopus and is just fantastic, I also tried somenthing that I could never thought it would be so great and is the "Lomo Saltado Risotto" this is a peruvian dish made with tenderloin that is to die for... I have also tried the ceviche with mango and I honestly not into raw food but this ceviche is super tasty and with an excellent citrus balance. This place is very clean and the service is good they clean your table fast and keep you glass filled whit whatever you are drinking, nice atmosphere and beautiful space.... Definitely coming back! !!

The Lasseter is one of (I think) two bars within Julia & Henry's, the new food hall in Miami…read more There are a ton of options that look great. I think they fit Miami well, and are slight twists in classic drink options. Our bartender was awesome. She was super knowledgeable and helpful in making recommendations as we decided what to order, and you can tell she really put effort into making sure the drinks were good. The drinks were really good! My only complaint is the price. Of course handcrafted cocktails are expensive, especially in Miami, but wow. The drinks were really small, and had so much ice that they ended up being not very many sips at all. They were definitely good, but the very small size for almost $20 a drink was kind of outrageous.

Oooooo I'm the first to review and I WISH it could've been 5 stars! No pressure !! :(…read more With such an amazing and innovative decor, dazzling bar and great vibes, my sibling, husband and I knew this was the place to be to enjoy ourselves with some drinks! The bar was lit, poppin' and vibrant. We were waiting by the end of the counter where they checked out other patrons near the sitting area. We were overlooked many times... I locked eyes with one of the bartender and she completely looked away from me.. several times :( took about 15 minutes and we reached our arms out and flagged bartender Reilly. Her greeting and attention was genuine so I was happy to get her. Unfortunately, she got busy and we got the initial lady that ignored us. She was not kind, not attentive and didn't really want to help us - she was very fake. With that being said, we had to remind her of our drinks after 20 minutes of placing the order, in which she responded with an attitude "it's being made. We're busy" -_- -_- :( the attitude was not needed. We watched others that came in before us being served. :( I was completely annoyed and upset. She didn't even bring the drinks to us like the other bartenders were doing, she made us get it. Poor service from this one bartender while the others were happy and servicing their patrons. After our first drinks, I noticed she spoke to her colleague and he came over and asked if we wanted to close out.. . Wtf kicking us out? We said no and he opened a tab. When she noticed we were ordering more, she was a bit more attentive. So wrong. Luckily, the drinks were delicious. Perfect. We did end up coming back to the Lasseter and got a gentleman bartender that was so kind and attentive and made our drinks even better! The attention to detail and love he made in my drinks, so that is why I decided to make make this a 3 stars rather than two. He saved this place. The toilet sitting area is very warm, not very air conditioned properly so expect to be a little warm especially after a couple of sips. It's also the walkway to an actual big restrooms for the whole building. The drinks are VERY pricy but the setting is perfect and makes up for it. Unfortunately, the service was not up to par. Disney priced drinks without the Disney customer service. Do I want to come back? Yes. Am I going to be picky with the vibes coming from the bartender and chose who to go to? Also yes. Hopefully, I can increase the rating.

We reserved the second floor lounge area, which was amazing. The drinks were great and the food was good. Obviously this is not a sitdown restaurant so don't come expecting a full-blown steak. But the pizza and the food options were definitely elevated bar foods. The service was amazing. Our bartender and weight staff were very helpful and kind. The best part is that you come in through a red phone booth. Once you make a reservation, they give you a phone number to dial in and then it opens! A total experience.

The music is always on point, and you can tell they really care about the sound and the atmosphere they create.

I know it normally books up most nights so I figured if we got early we could snag a couple spots. My plan worked. We had a very nice bartender who got things going. We both got a creative drink from there menu. The DJ arrived the same time as us so he was just getting set. We were there long enough to hear him blend in about 5+ songs. I was digging how he was shaping the set from some chill song to some that had some pep. It was just long enough to know that next time we are done this way I think we will check out the Sound bar again.

The only thing I don't like about Baby Jane is that they have a DJ who BLASTS (and I do mean BLASTS) music once they start their set. I feel like it doesn't match the vibe of the really cool, laid back atmosphere. It's a small bar / restaurant, and you can't hear the person next to you once the DJ starts.
