It's a cute, small Spanish restaurant. I randomly stopped by one night very late to grab some food…read more I arrived about 30 minutes before closing, but they still let me sit and place an order, which I appreciated. The restaurant has a small outdoor area on a little veranda, and the indoor area that isn't very big either. The design of the place is simple but pretty. The menu offers a nice variety - from small tapas to large main dishes like paella. I decided to try two hot tapas: ham croquettes and octopus with boiled potatoes. The croquettes were good, but not super delicious. The octopus dish, however, tasted fantastic; I really enjoyed it! Price-wise, the place does seem a bit pricey. For 4 small pieces of Serrano ham croquettes I paid $13, and the octopus was $20. Tapas usually don't cost that much, even at many other restaurants around Miami that I've been to. And considering that the croquettes were just okay in quality, I definitely think they should lower the prices a bit. Another annoying thing about this place - the 18% tip is automatically included in the bill. I truly hate when restaurants in Miami do that! And honestly, in this case, I wouldn't have tipped my waitress that high. She wasn't particularly friendly or welcoming. She gave me literally 2 minutes to choose my food (yes, I know I came late, but still...), took my order, brought it, and only came back once she noticed I had finished, just to ask if I was ready for the check. She didn't even ask how the food was. In my opinion, this wasn't 18% tip-worthy service. To sum up: I'm glad I tried this place. I might come back one day to try something else from the menu. I can recommend this restaurant, but be prepared - your final bill won't be cheap.

Well this time, my boy and I swung by for HH while in the area and ordered a few of the wines on special and the croquetas. Another couple came over to sit next to us and started bashing the HH wines, and the main waitress behind the bar joined in. Direct quote was "I wouldn't wish the house wine on my worst enemy". It ruined our experience as we were clearly there for HH and had ordered them (it was 4:30pm, come on, no one's at this wine bar for an ultra exclusive wine experience at this hour but ok!!). We got our checks and left, it wasn't worth sticking around for more. (Ps no one cares but the guy proceeded to order mezcal neat and the female ordered a martini- both of whom asked for things to doctor their drinks up bc the ordered were attempts to impress each other.. not bc they had "elevated taste" but ok!!!).

To top it off the drinks were DELICIOUS. I had the Paloma which had a cinnamon tajin rim and was perfectly sweet yet refreshing. The ambiance is cool and chill.

The name promises a crunch, but the bite was soft and flat. A dash of salt straight out of the fryer would fix this fast. The sirloin came out tough for a cut that thin. Sirloin should stay tender. This one didn't. The rice across every plate was a bit hard, like it sat too long before serving. Overall, the food felt lukewarm rather than fresh off the grill or fryer. Even the plates that looked good, like the chicken breast with egg and rice, and the salmon with salad, lost points for temperature. The grilled steak plate had good flavor, but it shared the same lukewarm, sit-too-long feel as the rest. Overall, a mixed meal. The croquetas earned their spot on the table. The chicharrón, sirloin, rice, and food temperature need work.

The service can be a little hit or miss depending on the visit, but overall I've had good experiences and keep coming back. One absolute standout for me was a pistachio cake bar I had on one of my visits. I'm actually not usually a fan of pistachio-flavored desserts, but this was OUTSTANDING. Completely changed my mind. Unfortunately, I believe it was seasonal and they no longer have it, but if it ever comes back, get it! Overall, Amara is a beautiful Miami spot with consistently good food, gorgeous views, and an atmosphere that makes it worth the splurge.

This time, however, we were an hour into our reservation when our server suddenly told us we either had to pay $100 per person for the food option or we would no longer qualify for bottomless drinks. This was never communicated when we booked, were seated, or ordered. He apparently assumed some of us weren't eating, but never actually asked. We were then told everything we had already ordered would have to be charged à la carte. When we asked for a manager, she simply reiterated the same policy. There was nothing on the menu, online, or communicated to us beforehand stating this was a Sunday requirement. If this is truly the policy, it should be made clear before customers order-not an hour int the reservation. The situation was handled extremely poorly, and we were still charged a 20% gratuity despite the lack of proper communication and service. I'm genuinely disappointed because I used to recommend this place, but after this experience, they've lost me and several customers who were with me that day.

I've never made it to Enriqueta's because they close early on weekends. But I have a flight to San…read moreFrancisco today, so my wife and I finally decided to hit it for lunch before heading to the airport. Let me tell you: this place is LEGIT locals. There is absolutely nothing touristy or manufactured about it. Stainless-steel tables, red plastic baskets, a busy counter, family photos covering the walls and a dining room full of people who clearly come here all the time. And the sandwiches are HUGE. Enriqueta's, opened in 1964, is best known for its Cubano and pan con bistec, but Rachel and I shared a medianoche, a tortilla con chorizo y queso and something called the "Super Cheese" with bacon. That last one is basically an enormous griddled pile of bacon and molten cheese barely contained by Cuban bread. I also grabbed some empanadas to take on the plane. The tortilla was beautifully browned, packed with chorizo and cheese, and substantial enough to be a meal by itself. The medianoche had the proper soft, slightly sweet bread, pressed crisp around a serious amount of pork, ham, Swiss, mustard and pickles. Nothing dainty happening here. The iced café con leche is also extremely strong. I will not be falling asleep on the flight out. Best of all, we got to meet the boss herself, Lucia Plá, the beloved matriarch on Saturday morning, greeting customers. Her husband, who bought the diner in 2000, Jose Luis, passed in 2019. This is the classic Cuban diner experience--a completely different vibe from Versailles or La Carreta. Smaller, more personal and much more like Puerto Sagua: a real neighborhood restaurant serving real people, with no interest in becoming a theme park version of itself. I'll definitely be back.
