    Socarrat & Chicken
    Weiting H.

    We came for lunch on a Thursday and they were decently busy. Their staff is very courteous and so great when helping us understand the menu. My favorite dish was the Socarrat Chicken. The chicken was so tender and savory on a bed of caramelized rice. Truly an unique dish. Paired with the plantains on the side, it was just exquisite. My friend had the burger and was bit disappointed that the meat was too charred, disrupting most of the burgers's flavor. Besides that, everything else was delicious.

    Great reasonably priced restaurant. Friendly service laid back atmosphere. This place was recommended by the hotel manager where we stayed. It felt like a neighborhood restaurant with many locals. The chicken was popular and there was a large rotisserie churning them out. We chose the amarillo sauce per the servers recommendation. Included were two sides with the chicken order. We tried fries, vegetables, cole slaw, and plantaines. And each had a chicken order which could be a whole, half or quarter chicken and chosen as white or dark meat for the quarter size. The portions were large and the values was good. Recommend you try this place. You can't go wrong.

    Last night We got takeout ordered the rotisserie chicken, which was really moist and tender. I couldn't decide on a mojo, so we ended up getting the sampler for an extra $5 I feel like the portions were pretty small for the upcharge, but if you're indecisive or want to try them all, it kind of makes sense. For sides, we got boiled yuca which was unfortunately on the harder side (usually it's way softer), and the plántanos with cheese only came with four pieces, which felt a bit skimpy and definitely not enough to satisfy a plantano craving. Overall though, the flavor of everything was tasty, just a few portion and texture things that could've been better.

    A nice restaurant bustled right next to Brickell. If you are a carnivore this is the place for you! If you're a vegetarian... maybe not. Meat is their speciality here at Dando La Brasa and it's very cool to be able to see the chefs hard at work over an open grill. As a plant forward eater I found it a little hard to find a good plate for me. I ended up ordering the chicken fettuccini and it was very underwhelming. Very little actual sauce and not a lot of flavor to it. It also came with a small soup as I believe all the lunch specials do and the soup was just a light broth. I think if I come back I will ask for tequeños or some yucca. Still the lunch menu was plentiful and the restaurant was packed so this place is definitely worth checking out for any meat lovers.

    Espresso

    Espresso- meant to take more photos. Highly recommend. If you follow me you know I only post outstanding places. The service - 5star. The chicken soup and rotisserie chicken - even better. Get the salad. Ambience upbeat and reasonable. Casual. Perfect.

    I had ordered from this place several times before, and it was just as good or more in person! We were craving this type of chicken after a long day at the beach. It's a nice casual spot in Brickell. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and sat us down quickly. We were a party of 5, and catered too immediately! We ordered some natural juices which were delicious! If you're into juices, get the Mango, you'll love it. We ordered 2 whole chickens which you can get with different sauces, and the chicken orders come with 2 sides each! We devoured our meal! The yuca fries were great, the rice, the beans, the avocado and the maduros were to die for! This is a great place for large groups, to eat amongst friends and to have the best service! I really can't wait to go back!

    1/2 Chicken a la Brasa
    Oscar R.

    My wife and I have walked past Dando La Brasa countless times, always curious but never quite going in. Today we finally decided to give it a try, and it was one of the best decisions we've made! The 1/2 chicken a la brasa was the star of the show--juicy and incredibly flavorful. The sides of fried yuca and maduros with cheese were equally delicious. We also appreciated the freshness of the Hearts of Palms salad. Our host, Gredxander, was wonderful and truly enhanced our dining experience. This is a place we will be returning to, and we can't recommend it enough!

    Great little spot..the smell when you walk in with the roasting chickens is to die for....Great food if you are in the area!

    Chicken Milanese
    Madison G.

    Still the best lunch menu in Miami. For $12 I had a huge chicken milanesa, plantains, delicious grilled veggies, and a soup. The place is packed, service is great, and food is phenomenal. Can't go wrong here.

    Fantastic find!!! This little place is located in an unassuming plaza just south of downtown Miami in the Little Havana area. We were staying at a rental across the street and decided to try it. So glad we did. The service was wonderful by Aneli and the rest of the very attentive staff. The place smelled so good and the food made it clear why. Everything was delicious! We had the short rib soup, the empanadas, the chorizo sausage, and plantains. Everything was so yummy. And the price was very reasonable for the area this restaurant is located. Almost cheap, honestly. Highly recommend!!

    Fantastic food. Great ambiance. And great service. Absolutely coming back. Can't wait to come back.

Instead, we were sat at the smallest bar seating, which was completely inappropriate and not romantic at all for an occasion like Valentine's Day. As soon as we sat down, I politely asked if we could be moved. The manager then told me that I had booked bar seating, which is simply not true. Why would anyone reserve bar seating a month in advance for Valentine's Day? I checked my reservation confirmation myself and it never stated that, and I even tried making another reservation to verify ..bar seating wasn't even an option. He told us he would "see what he could do," and we were left waiting at the bar with no water, no menus, no service, and no communication whatsoever. Meanwhile, we watched multiple couples get seated at proper tables back-to-back. At one point, we even overheard another couple say their reservation was at the same time as ours, and they were seated at a table immediately. When I tried to politely ask for an update, the manager or owner completely ignored me. No acknowledgment, no apology, nothing. I was honestly in shock at how disrespectful and dismissive they were. We ended up getting up and leaving because of how uncomfortable and disrespected we felt. Valentine's Day is supposed to be special, and this restaurant completely ruined that experience.

I've been visiting a lot recently, and even joined their wine club which offers two curated wines a month. Locally owned and operated, I feel really good supporting a place that the owners put so much effort into to offer such a gem of a spot for locals. I've tried a lot of wines here, and I'm always amazed at finding something new to me that I enjoy. If you haven't been, it's the perfect place for a date, a girls night, or a day for yourself. They also have good snacks and charcuterie for you to munch on while you drink vino. Don't know much about wine? No problem. Their team will point you in the right direction and they have something for everyone. This is an approachable wine bar- they want you to enjoy the wine as much as they do and I love that about Magie. This spot has a nice indoor space and a beautiful outdoor area. They also have a sister location in the Grove.

There is a parking lot right on the side of the building, but if that lot is full, there is also street parking, and parking across the street in a lot behind the Citadel. The service here was great! All of the staff were very nice and welcoming. The set up of the lounge is also very cozy. There is plenty of space for people to sit whether you're on a date or with a small group, but seating is first come first serve, so if you're coming with a group it's better to get there earlier in the evening so you have a space comfortable enough for the size of your group. There is also indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. There are many wines to choose from and they also have a decent menu with light bites. We opted for the Dino nuggets and caviar which were a hit, the fried olives and some meats and cheeses with some cornishons, fig jam and a sliced baguette. Overall this place has a great vibe to it and I heard they host events every so often. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a nice space to chill with some friends and enjoy a nice spot in Miami.

The first location in the River is better imo because the location is bigger, there is plenty more seating than the Grove location. Although, I still enjoyed my time at this location as well. Sooo how it works is that you go inside and pick a bottle of wine from the fridges. You can also order by the glass if you aren't a big drinker or if you want to try different wines. The bottles are moderately priced depending on your selection. We chose an orange wine and it was nice, very refreshing, you can really get that citrus essence with every sip. Another thing that they have is that you can pick different cheeses and meats and they will build you a charcuterie board. I love this because it is all based on your selection, nothing will go to waste. They also have food you can order. A lot of people love the nuggets with caviar. I think they are decent imo but I'm not like in love with them. Parking can be a bit annoying... If there isn't street parking, you can also park in the garage. The service was good, the staff was friendly. The only thing that was a hassle was getting a table. We had to wait a bit in order for a table to become available. Overall, this spot is a very cozy place to hang and mingle with friends.

    As others have stated, Magie is good in concept and we'll likely return here, but with just a bit…read moremore effort on their part this wine bar could be so much better IMO. Unlike some other reviewers that scoffed at the prices of the wine, that didn't bother me so much. We had a bottle here that cost $55 and it retails for about $28; I was OK with that, as all restaurants and wine bars have a markup above retail, and even when you go to spots like Happy Wine or El Carajo and pick out a bottle to drink while in their shop, they charge a corkage fee for that. What I did have a problem with is that, after the "service charge" and other fees were added on, our $55 bottle rang up to more than $73 in total, which was ludicrous. When we first arrived at Magie we were met by a young guy who pointed out the bottles and where the various charcuterie items are located in the coolers, and we were then pretty much left on our own. We really just wanted a glass of wine each, but unlike places like Vinoteca, here at Magie they had a very limited selection of wines by the glass, and the ones available all seemed to come in single-serve cans. We picked out a bottle to share, went to the register, paid and the guy opened it and handed us 2 glasses. When I returned to get napkins, the guy just motioned to where the napkins were so I could grab my own (after moving a delivery cart out of the way by myself so I could reach them). Again, though this place includes an automatic "service charge", we received zero actual "service" unless one considers the 45 seconds it takes to uncork our bottle and charge us for the purchase. We had a seat, had a glass of wine each and then re-corked our bottle of wine and took it with us. Overall I think Magie is a great concept with lots of potential. The inside seating area is interestingly decorated and outfitted with lots of eclectic furniture and items on the walls, and the relatively large patio seating out front with tables for 2 to 8 people is shielded from the adjacent street/traffic and shaded by lots of trees and greenery. The ambiance overall is really very nice. The service, however, was non-existent, especially considering the automatic charge for that, and while prices of at least some wines aren't terribly out of line, the fact that all the service charges, taxes and fees added $20 to the cost of our bottle was a bit of a shocker. Magie should consider adding more wines by the glass IMO. Not just subpar quality single-serve cans, but decent wines, poured from a proper bottle with a topper that preserves the wine between pours like most every quality wine bar commonly offers. Lastly, while I don't think anyone expects linen napkins and white glove service, the paper plates and plastic cutlery customers are given to eat with are a bit off vs. what this place appears to be trying to be and the prices charged. The "F*ck Brunch" positioning statement on the back of the staffs' shirts was an interesting touch.
