    Sirloin Steak Mellow Rice
    Stephanie G.

    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.

    The food was absolutely excellent, and the place itself was very beautiful. Our server, Luis Brito, was outstanding--extremely professional and attentive throughout our visit. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. We shared some small plates with artichokes, scallops, and salmon. The sauces were creative, unique &tasty. All were good! We asked for sourdough bread with eggplant butter to soak up the sauces. Our main course was sea bream, roasted vegetables, and rice. 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. I wish this option was on the menu. Daniel was on point with his recommendations and attentive. It is a little pricy but worth it!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The place is beautiful, the food is great, certainly expensive but not overpriced, service was fantastic as well - party of 3 was 550 we had drinks appetizers and entrees Our server was Manu and he was very attentive and actually served the dishes and they changed the plates and silverware after after dish. The food itself was extremely tasty, the portions on the appetizers were on the smaller side but the entrees were large. Will definitely be going back. The menu is so large you could go back 3 times never eat the same thing.

First things first: if you want their Spanish tortilla with chorizo, you have to order it ahead of time. Same-day they usually only have the regular tortilla available, so plan ahead -- and trust me, it's worth it. Thick, soft, perfectly layered potatoes and egg with that extra smoky chorizo flavor that takes it to another level. A true comfort dish done right. Their tortilla is one of their staples for a reason. We also ordered a variety of croquetas: jamón serrano, queso manchego, camarones, and bacalao. Honestly, all of them were good (and I mean all), but the bacalao croquetas? Wow. Next level. Super creamy inside, crispy outside, packed with flavor -- easily my favorite of the table. And because it was Mother's Day, dessert was mandatory. Everyone ordered something different: flan with almond ice cream, crema catalana, Basque-style cheesecake, and I went for the Tarta San Marcos. I'm not Spanish, so it was my first time trying it, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's made with layers of sponge cake, cream, chocolate truffle -- but somehow it doesn't feel too heavy. It paired perfectly with a cafecito and was the ideal ending to the meal. The place is small, cozy, and very authentic. I hadn't been in a while, and you can tell they've organized the space better -- the wine boxes and market area feel cleaner and more intentional, and there's a little more room to breathe. Service was super nice and welcoming. Overall, La Vasca is one of those hidden gems where the food feels as authentic as it gets. If you're craving real Spanish food in Miami, this place absolutely delivers.

The table had olive oil for the bread too, but I don't think it necessarily needed it because it was so good by itself already. The Valencia Paella had chicken and seafood in it, and I honestly loved the combination. The chicken was cooked perfectly so it was nice and tender and also well-seasoned. The seafood had great flavor, and I really enjoyed trying all the different kinds. I love paella, and I've been looking for a good paella ever since I tried it in Spain for the first time. After debating between a few options in Miami, I was so happy I went with this restaurant because I was very satisfied with their paella. Overall, the food was amazing, and I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. The experience couldn't have been better, and I'm already eager to go back to try the Iberian Ham and say hi to Felipe again.

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!
