Zeru, located at the aka Hotel in the Financial District, is arguably one of the most elegant Basque restaurants in Miami-Dade County. The sophisticated, modern interior is adorned with various pieces of art that make the space truly beautiful. The menu highlights seafood from its various appetizers to rice/pallela and dishes from the josper. We ordered from both the Miami Spice menu and from the a la carte menu, since we anticipated smaller portions, and are glad we did. Like other Spanish restaurants, the focus here is on ordering a variety of tapas/family style dishes to share. The welcome pintxo featuring serrano ham was a good way to start the meal. We had a wide range of dishes, ranging from the following: Appetizers - Burrata salad, watermelon and almond pesto - Pata negra and parmesan croquettes - Black cod piquillo peppers - Crystal bread toast with Spanish escalibada Sides - Potato millefeuille with baked apple Entrees - Dover Sole, capers and citric beurre - Branzino filet "al horno" Desserts - Manchego cheese fondant with vanilla ice cream - Caramel chocolate mousse, coffee & dark chocolate gelees The food itself took us on a culinary journey! The pata negra and parmesan croquettes were amazing, as were the crystal bread toasts with Spanish escalibada. If we could order full plates of just those appetizers, I think we may on a future visit! The black cod piquillo peppers and Potato millefeuille with baked apple were very unique as appetizers and sides. The dover sole is among the best fish dishes I've had in Miami-- this is right up there with the one I've had at Klaw. The manchego cheese fondant with vanilla ice cream is also a dessert that we'll be dreaming about going forward! While the food was excellent, why the 3 star rating? Yelp does not allow half ratings otherwise this would be a 3.5/5 stars. The issue we had was with the service tapering off throughout our dinner. We understand that Monday nights are slow, but after great service to start, it did take a while to get our food, and it felt like "higher spend" tables ordering wine were the priority. It also took us a while to get our check as a result. It felt like we were "forgotten about" at certain times. Hopefully this service hiccup can get corrected in the future and match the quality of the food and the expensive price point it commands. We are looking forward to a return visit in the future to try out their tasting menu! read more

Bottom line we had an awesome time here and a wonderful meal. However, the hostessing needs improvement. We had a reservation but it took the hostess several minutes and a long time on her iPad to ... ? I don't know. But it took an abnormally long time for her to get menus and take us walking to a table. We requested an outside table (which is rare for December, I guess, as we were the only ones out there) and I believe the hostess never noted it. Once a staff member came out to us, she remarked that the servers were never told about us! That's unfortunate. But after that, everything was fantabulous. Wonderful northern Spanish and Basque style dishes, brilliant appetizers and delectable entrees. Ultra fast and attentive service. We got so much amazing food (and ate all of it!), that we didn't have room for what looked like an excellent dessert menu. Next time! read more

The food was a huge letdown. My ribeye was chewy, fatty, and completely lacking in flavor. The filet mignon was overcooked and dry, which is unacceptable for a cut that's supposed to be tender and juicy. When we politely mentioned the issues, the service was indifferent and the manager's attitude was downright arrogant -- For the prices they charge, the quality and service should be much, much better. Beautiful setting, but that alone isn't enough reason to come back. read more

I visited Zeru about a month or so ago with six other people and got the impression the restaurant had recently opened. The restaurant is located in the AKA hotel on the other side of the valet driveway. The interior is beautiful and the staff were all very welcoming and accommodating. Since there were so many of us, we ordered several dishes including the Pata negra and parmesan croquettes (my favorite), Smoked honey roasted butternut squash with mascarpone (very good), Sirloin Steak, wild mushrooms and asparagus (okay), the Branzino filet and green leaves (tasty), a steak and the Potato mille feuille and baked apple (I would have preferred the dish without the apple). We also ordered the Bluefin tuna tartare with black truffle and saffron but it never arrived. For dessert, we had the Arroz con leche socarrat with vanilla ice cream which everyone loved but I just thought was okay. Overall, I'd say the restaurant is beautiful, the food was good, and even though there were a few issues with the service, I'd chalk it up to being a new restaurant as the staff were all lovely otherwise. I'd say Zeru is a good addition to the neighborhood. read more

We loved this place, Luna served us at the bar first, we tried the ham croquettes and half a portion of Iberian ham with some Aperol Spritz. Then the very nice Hostess passed us to the table too. Luis was our waiter and explained to us in detail each dish of the Miami Spice. We looked very well with our guests they were fascinated. read more

Stumbled upon this place going to a spin class. Decided to try it after. Wow!!!!!!! Simply wow. Everything was delicious. Not a single complaint. The branzino ceviche with mango is chef's kiss - literally!! Mojo octopus is a winner - the flavor was amazing. The sourdough bread and the butter that came with it - easily some of the best bites I've ever eaten. A true gem. And the restaurant is easy on the eyes. Beautifully decorated. read more

This is an upscale Basque restaurant. It beautiful inside. Service is the best. Very attentive and knowledgeable. I sat at the bar and had the undivided attention of the bar person. Food was creative and delicious. I'm had the black cod piquillo peppers, the branzino filet with tomatoes and artichokes and the arroz con leche socarrat with ice cream for dessert. Had two goodglasses of wine - a great Albariño and a great Pinot noir. They also comped me a glass of dessert wine. A super meal in a great space. read more

Over the past few years it feels like we are getting more Basque restaurants in Miami. I've had great experience with them, so I look forward to trying Zeru for the first time for Miami Spice. The dining room is beautifully decorated, with a high ceiling. I love how there is a little "tree" by each table for people to hang their coats or bags. I wish every restuarant is so considerate!! Besides the three courses on the Spice menu, I was also given an amuse-bouche and some welcome pintxos: a mussel croquette, a pata negra and parmesan croquette, and a mini tomato and serrano ham toast. I have the txangurro for appetizer, which is a crab meat spread, and for my entree the seafood socarrat. The txangurro, while loaded with crab meat, tastes blander than I expected, somehow missing the rich, creamy tomalley that I am used to tasting in other txangurro I've tried before. The seafood, especially the shrimp on the socarrat, was excellent. Shrimp is one ingredient where there's a vast difference between the good and the bad, and this big juicy ones, nicely grilled, is definitely among the best. While I expect the socarrat to be more charred and crispy, like the Persian tahdig or Korean stone pot rice, overall the dish is so delicious I'd love to return for it. It also goes very well with a glass of crispy white. The catalan cream for dessert is light and fluffy, not too sweet. The service is very efficient. There seems to be a team of waiters. As soon as you finish a dish, someone will come and pick up the dishes. Then another will come by to replace the silverware, and then within minutes your next course is brought to you. There is limited street parking available, or you can valet or park in nearby garages. read more

What a beautifully decorated place, the art pieces were the highlight of the decor for us, perfect for a date night or lunch. The service was outstanding, the staff is certainly well trained. The food was delicious, but our favorite was the dessert! Probably my favorite right now. We preferred the fish over the meat dishes, we found a good balance between flavor and culinary ingenuity. The bacalao croquettes were delicious, you could see the flakiness of the bacalao after the first bite, I would highly recommend the seafood in this place. The clams were spectacular as well. Overall a pleasant experience and a savory delight. We will be returning for sure! read more

A new trendy, stylish Basque and Mediterranean restaurant in Brickell. Zeru, means"sky" or "the heavens" in Basque, it exemplifies the Spaniard' ability to elevate simple ingredients into unique & memorable dishes. The main entrance is from the AKA hotel with valet parking in front. The restaurant is stylish & beautiful it felt like we were in Spain. The interesting menu is focused on coastal fish, grilled meats and vegetables. We started by sharing some small plates with artichokes, scallops, and salmon. The sauces were creative, unique & full of flavor. We asked for sourdough bread with eggplant butter to soak up the sauces. Our main course was sea bream, roasted vegetables, and basque burnt rice scrapped from below the vegetables. For dessert, we shared figs and cream. Our meal was delicious and service was impeccable. Daniel, our waiter said that he could arrange a tasting menu if we would like. He could give us a sampling of croquettes and different items from the menu. I was able to peer into the open kitchen & see the Basque Josper oven with charcoal. read more

This is a not easy to find stylish Basque restaurant in the general area much less Brickell. If you have eaten in Spain, the decor and menu may look a bit familiar.

Stopped by here for lunch with my niece. The atmosphere beautiful the ambiance was exquisite with art and elegance all over. The service was excellent we were greeted at the door and our waitress was very knowledgeable. The waitress reccomended the best on the menu for us and the drinks were very good. My favorite dish was the squash and salad the branzino fish was in a lemon butter sauce so tasty. The desserts were very delicious. My favorite dessert was the dulce de leche with the banana ice cream. To top it off you must try the dessert wine so good to end a delicious lunch. Great date spot to take someone for a 3 course meal for $44.00 can't beat that in Miami. read more

This basque restaurant has attentive service, beautiful nods to the Spanish culture in their decor, and most importantly, delicious food! The paella (josper socarrat) is one of the most delicious I've ever tried. It comes on a skillet where the rice is getting stuck to the bottom and coming out nice and crunchy (as it should! ). It is on the pricier side for the portions you get, but I would be interested in exploring more of the menu. Highly Recommend: Josper Roasted Organic Vegetables and Seafood Socarrat and the Manchego Cheese Fondant read more

This restaurant came highly recommended, and it took some convincing to get my husband on board for a date night here. We decided to give it a shot, and unfortunately, we were very disappointed. We ran a few minutes late to our reservation and were seated at the bar, in a "high-top couch" area, for dinner--not exactly the experience we expected. When we asked if we could be seated in the dining area, we were told there was no seating. After sitting for 30 minutes, I finally had to ask the waitress to take our menus. When I asked why there were so many glasses on the table, I was told they were for a pairing menu--yet I was never provided that menu to review or consider. My appetizer arrived before my cocktail, and when I ran out of bottled water, I was told, "Oh, you ran out--do you want another?" The service felt careless, and to top it off, the waitress automatically included a 20% tip, which certainly explained the lack of attentiveness. Needless to say, we won't be returning or recommending this place. read more

Zeru is a beautifully decorated, modern space that is also comfortable. The basque food was well executed and presented with fine dining elegance to justify the high prices. The service, however was unfortunately pushy and solicitous with upsells. read more

Very good restaurant with an interesting spin on Basque cuisine. I can't say that the ambiance is of a genuine high end restaurant from EUZKADI, it's more of a Guria meets South Beach. The intent of the food is Basque, but misses the focus. But, it's delicious, well prepared and fresh. My family ordered just about everything on the menu, it was our first time and we were excited about the experience. Every dish we tried was amazing. The service was great, two people were constantly making sure we were content. This place is not inexpensive, but it's worth a special occasion or a celebration. read more

I tried this restaurant on a Friday night and made a reservation for their Miami Spice menu that seemed to include great options. Our reservation was at 7:30pm and when we arrived, we were told we could not be seated in the main dining room because they were expecting a large party and they couldn't seat other tables due to the large party. When we arrived, there were about 5 open tables in the dining room. We were seated in a bar area with high top tables and your feet dangling without a place to rest them all night. When I asked why we couldn't be seated in the dining room, the hostess spoke over me, didn't allow me to speak and not one staff member in this restaurant made the attempt to speak english even as I struggled to speak to spanish to them. I found this to be incredibly rude and nowhere in the reservation did it state that we would be seated at the bar. The vibe of the other diners was escorts and other inappropriately dressed people. A reminder of why I avoid Brickell dining. When we were seated, I asked for both menus so that we could order additional items from the regular menu. We did. We ordered a few recommended appetizers in addition to the meal. We both had the artichoke for an extra few bucks and it was delicious. The croquetas were also delicious. When we ordered the wine, I asked for a glass of Txakoli and was provided with two options. I chose the Txomin Extaniz after visiting the winery in person earlier this summer. The waitress then proceeded to open a bottle after i had asked for a glass. Whatever. We had the bottle instead. We ordered the white fish in the lemon butter sauce and no one cared to tell us that the fish came with no sides even though we clearly had no issue ordering additional items from the menu. By the time we flagged down a waiter to order a side, our fish was halfway eaten since again, we were seated in a bar area away from all the restaurant employees. For dessert, we had the torta de queso and it was also delicious. The food was good overall but the service was rude from the hostess to our waitress. I understand this is a Spanish restaurant, but we are in Brickell and no one here is of Spanish decent so why not try to be courteous to paying customers? read more

Came in last night for anniversary dinner and enjoyed everything about this spot. First valet only option if you are driving in. Valet is $15. We had a reservation and they sat us right away. Usually in Miami it takes 30 min or so to sit for a reserved time. Off to great start. I had read reviews here and on Eater so had an idea about the food. My wife & I are foodies, we'd rather go to quality eating spots rather than be seen spots and food not so good. Our waiter was excellent, ulysses. He was super friendly and offered great descriptions of the menu. Now the menu had so many good options! We tried some stuff from the Pintxos (tapas) to try, Pata negra platter. We got the half. Highly recommended! Table side slicing of jamón. Fresh and excellent flavor. Must get! We also opted for the Black cod piquillo peppers. Amazing! Flavor was outstanding. We did want to try both octopus, and we did, but the Mojo one is the way to go! Amazing! We got half orders on both, but next time going full on the Mojo. Not that the Gallega style was bad, it too was good. But between the two. We moved on our entre, we tried the seasonal catch, Dorado. It was excellent, so well cooked and it was like butter in your mouth. We also got Socarrats which are like a mini paella. But it's the bottom part of paella flavor. We did a small order of the squid ink one. So good! Great finale was the Kobe one. Amazing! We didn't have one dish that we wouldn't order again. They treated us to an after dinner drink. It was a port wine. Flavorful and great way to end. The desert too was excellent. Seating is kind of close to your neighbor. Just an FYI. We spent about 2.5 hours for dinner. Timing on everything was perfect. Ulysses made for a great experience. I'd ask for him if you can. Made our experience a great one. Be prepared to spend some money, it's not cheap and adds up quickly. Bottle wine + our dinner with tip that comes included already, will run you around $600+ for 2. read more

I went to try the miami spice dinner with some friends and we had a very nice time. The food was overall very good. I didn't love the croquetas, which was surprising. The scallops were some of the best I've ever had. The artichoke was amazing, the octopus was good, and the rice with steak was very good. I fee the portions should have been bigger. I know it was for Miami spice but we left a little hungry still. The best part of dinner was the cake at the end. Every single one of us was blown away by how good the dessert was! read more

Quiet Wednesday night dinner, had a drink at the bar then sat at a table in the bar (very comfy seats btw!) for dinner. Started with the octopus... very flavorful, tender & absolutely delicious. Then had the toro-truffle appetizer (MUST TRY!) it was so buttery & delicious! Then decided on a bottle of the Chianti. Wonderful choice. For dinner, my friend and I split the turbot (so fresh & buttery) would highly recommend. Also had a 'mellow rice' - chose the skirt steak so we had a little meat for dinner. It was very tasty, however just a tad bit on the salty side. The flavor was delicious though. Service was great as well & I would certainly go back again! read more

Once in a while, we have such a wonderful dining experience we would hope there was a special star category to compensate for it. This was one of those time. Can I give them a 6th star rating? Last night, my husband and I finally made it to Zeru. We have been waiting anxiously for a seriously good Spanish restaurant in miami. My husband is from Barcelona and we are there quite often and the food experience is difficult to compare. Thrilled to say we have found it locally. Let's start with the first of the senses: walking through the door to a beautiful restaurant. Stunning Interior design did not go unnoticed. Tables covered in tablecloth. Finally! Great sign this restaurant is not cutting corners. We were greeted by our sweet server, Sili (hope the name is spelled correctly). She handed us several menus and to our surprise, we were offered a miami spice menu. Great start to be able to try several favorites in the menu. It did not disappoint! The food was delicious. The ham croquetas were perfectly done the right way, with bechamel and a slice of jabugo. We have the artichoke appetizer with Idzibal cheese and octopus. We loved it. My entree was the Branzino and this was also outstanding and perfectly cooked. No salt needed, as should be. The sourdough bread came in toasted butter chunks that was incredibly delicious. The cocktails were also well done and elegant. Finally the desserts. Something we are not that fond of as we are not much into sweets. We had the crema catalana, which was light and fluffy, more like a mousse and not over sweetened. Finally the STAR of the night.... The Manchego cheese fondant. WOW. Best dessert I have ever had! Not too sweet, not salty. I am a new fan! Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. In this day and age, where everyone seems to be cutting corners and charging so much to give so little, it's encouraging to know there are still professionals left In The industry who take pride in their product and know there are some of us out here who know better and appreciate all the work and detail that went Into this restaurant. Please don't let miami change you, stay true to your perfection! read more

* 5 star food, ambience and service * Basque and Mediterranean cuisine highlighting San Sebastien * Elegant fine dining with an extensive wine list * Some dishes are amazing * May be the best new Spanish restaurant in Miami * Plan on $100-200 per person plus wine * Valet parking is $15 So why not 5 stars? I'm a wine conniseur so when I asked to pay corkage to bring a wine from my cellar for dinner I was disappointed that the answer the answer was no. I don't care if the fee is $100. I have bottles I've saved for a decade that I want to enjoy with great food. OK, it's their policy, only allowed for lunch. So I then went to look for the wine list online, there is none online. OK so I agreed to figure it out when I get there. When I arrived at Zeru I took a look at some wines displayed in a case between the entrance and bar area. They were a beautiful selection including Vega Sicilia Unico, Petrus, Latour, Haut Brion, some bottles costing many thousands of dollars. I was shocked to see them sitting in a non temperature controlled display case. Imagine spending thousands of dollars for a wine that is not stored properly and degraded in time. I don't understand why a restaurant that is so beautiful, has such great food, has spent millions of dollars on construction would allow this. So that's why I had to take away a star. I hope they address that. Food 5 stars. Nearly every dish was outstanding. You start with an amuse bouche of Watermelon with vinegar and salt that is way better than it sounds. The best way to experience the menu is to order about 4-5 dishes per person. The Pintxos that are listed as 4 or 6 pieces can be ordered as only two pieces to allow you to try many things, which is what we did and I highly recommend. The pata negra and parmesan croquettes are a crowd pleaser, crispy outside, a savory béchamel like filling inside with scrumptious ham and cheese. The mussel confit croquettes might be a little too fishy if you're not a mussels fan but we enjoyed them. The Bonito tuna, anchovies and avocado montaditos are a must have. Don't worry if you don't like anchovies, Zeru uses the best ingredients and the anchovies here are considered among the best in the world, Don Bocarte, not like others you may have had. If you're a bacalao lover you will want to try the black cod stuffed piquillo peppers, they are several notches above any bacalao you may have had before. The bluefin tuna tartar with black truffles was outstanding. Out waiter raved about the Tudela Artichokes with Idiazabel and pate negra, they were tasty. Do at least order a half order ($40) of the Pata Negra Platter. It comes with four pieces of perfect pan con tomate along with a generous amount of perfectly sliced melt in your mouth cinco jotas. Most people don't get excited about vegetables but the vegetables with wild mushrooms here are prepared in a Josper grill and are a delicious way to stay healthy. I am a fan of Socarrat so we ordered the wild baby squid and prawns Socarrat in squid ink. My partner would have liked a little more crusty Socarrat in the pan but it was still delicious. Last but not least you MUST order the Manchego fondant for dessert. It is more of a savory dish, but if you try it you will insist on returning to have it again, I promise. The wine list is presented on a tablet, is extensive, and organized very well. You can search by country, region, pairings, wine type, varietal or on a world map, and you can delve into details about the selection. Wine markups are about two to three times retail prices on average. It is quite a global selection, not just Spain, with Napa well represented with Insignia ($570), Peter Michael Au Paradis ($490), The Mascot ($400), Lewis Cab ($385, the Reserve I hope for that price), but you can find some simple wines under $100, give or take. Hopefully they will reconsider their corkage policy for dinner to respect those of us with wine cellars and not let their trophy wine bottles sit in an unrefrigerated cabinet. With those minor details Zeru would truly live up to the Basque translation of their name, which mean "heaven". read more

After walking passed Zeru for close to 3 months, I finally decided to pop in and try it--and boy am I glad that I did! The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and really captures the upscale, Mediterranean feel that the menu offers. Speaking of the menu, it has incredible options that cater to any palet. When I think of Zeru, I think of perfectly crafted "bites." Some standouts for the bonita tuna and the king crab sticky rice. They still don't have a liquor license, which is fine because their wine and prosecco cocktails are plentiful and equally as delicious. Additionally, their wine selection, presented on a tablet that allows you yo drill down to grape, country, bottle or glass, provides a fantastic selection of even the snobbiest of wine drinkers. Alejandra, my bartender and server, was a highlight for me. Not only was she knowledgeable on every drink and dish on the menu, but she was incredibly accommodating and made spot on recommendations. When I was conflicted between 2 pintxos, she made the decision easier for me and offered me one bite from another order (which typically comes in orders of 4). Similarly, when I had filled up on delicious appetizers and didn't have enough room for a full rice entree, she stepped in again and offered to make it a half order-- which turned out to be the perfect portion for me. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish If you're looking for some Spanish bites and great wines, Zeru is the place for you. I will definitely be coming back to further explore the menu and take in the beautiful ambience. read more

New favorite restaurant. Not only was the food spectacular and really different than your typical miami restaurant, but the staff was amazing.

I must say, this place left me speechless. Jaw on the FLOOR. The service was absolutely amazing from the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out.

Let's start with service, excellent. This is important for my experience. My friend and I went during the Miami Spice month, and so that is the menu we tried. Everything was delicious, and though I do not have a sweet tooth, their dessert was the highlight of the night for me. I'm not crazy about the restaurant layout, I know some people don't care about this, I just felt there was no privacy in the tables no cozy feeling. However, this should not deter you from visiting them. It kind of gave me the vibes of the common area of a business office. Perhaps it caters more to the business lunch vibes of Brickell? But the food was delicious. I included a picture if the Miami Spice Menu for everyone to see what we actually ordered by proper name. The artichokes were fantastic and the dessert that looks like a bread... wow, that did it for me. read more

One of the best atmospheres I've been to, largely due to the great service of our waiter, Ryan. Zeru is lucky to have him on their team. The design and details were top-tier. The volume was great. This is not somewhere that's too loud to hold a conversation, which is too common in Brickell. Very nice to be able to customize the pintxos to a couple pieces to be able to try more of the menu. The empanadas and pata negra croquettes were unique and delicious. The tuna item was regrettable. For an $18 cocktail, there wasn't much to my drink other than a large ice cube. The naked piña colada was delicious and well presented, but I could have finished it in 4 gulps. If you visit this restaurant, get the best experience by requesting Ryan as your waiter. He has an energy and level of professionalism that are memorable. read more
