So deliciousness! The service was beyond on point, the location was at the waterfront creating a nice ambience. Lots of places near by but I highly recommend this restaurant for dri KS, appetizers and main menu
Kuba On The Bay is a Cuban Restaurant located on Pier 5 at Bayside Marketplace in Miami, Fl. Dreaming of warm weather prompted to write this review - lol. Oh, how I long for Miami, fabulous weather, & great food & cocktails that we had at Kuba On The Bay! We visited last year during my Birthday Trip & enjoyed the lovely waterfront views. Bayside Marketplace has many hang-out spots, shops, activities, etc. We stumbled upon Kuba On The Bay around early dinnertime. Kuba is quaint, has dooe decor including gorgeous artwork & had a cute front entrance. A photographer was present & took both complimentary pictures & pictures for purchase. Thank you Kuba for the beautiful picture that was taken. We both had Sauteed Shredded Steak w/ Sautéed Vegetables & Arroz Blanco - Aromatic White Rice. Bartenders & Servers provided greetings, were kind, friendly, energetic, & gave great customer service. One of the bartenders created refreshing cocktails w/ Green Tea, Whiskey & Lemon Juice - Delicious! Wishing me a Happy Birthday & having birthday shots was cool. Kuba On The Bay played Salsa, Merengue & Reggaeton that had us moving in our seats. Definitely a nice, chilled atmosphere... kubanmiami.com @kubaonthebay
Loud music and dark inside, we have to use our phone light to check the menu. Kubiche was okay, we loved the hot fried tater-tot next to it. Ropa Vieja (beef stew) was good except the portion was kind of small. Arroz Marinero (seafood rice) was flavorful with fresh shrimps, calamari and fish, the rice was tomato flavored. We had Caipirinha flight with 4 flavors- strawberry, mango, guava and classic. Other than classic, the rest of the drinks were pretty bad with artificial fruit flavors. Overall it's not a bad experience.
Honestly not terribly impressed. We wanted to try some Cuban food while in Miami. To begin, the hostess was not very personable or welcoming. Our waitress was very pleasant but I wouldn't say service was above and beyond. I don't personally love when the wait staff is all over you, but I drank all of my water and had to ask for a refill when the check came even though I had been without it for quite some time. I sat by the water outside which was nice but warm even with the fans and umbrellas (that's expected though). The entire menu was quite expensive. I ordered the Frita burger with fries and my husband got the sandwich Kubano with tostones. Both were just okay and we didn't find them overly flavorful. I wouldn't necessarily return.
Wonderful Cuban restaurant on the bay, on the pier that hosts many shops, restaurants and bars. We had great service and ate delicious meals. The location had a really fun vibe all around. When in Miami I'm always looking for good Cuban food and this place definitely delivers. Whether you're looking for that traditional Cubano, or like myself that wants anything that goes with a side of yuca. We wound up spending St Patrick's Day here and it was great, can't wait to visit again when we're back in June
The atmosphere was a vibe. The place is small and tight. I'm glad we were the only people there, so it was a nice, intimate moment for our late lunch. The drinks were great, as were the sampler empanadas. We also had tamales, but I wasn't a fan at all. We had the croquetas, which were also good. The service and people were nice and friendly. The place looked nice and clean, and the music and aesthetics were nice, especially for pictures.
Yummy food. Popped in with we were in town and the tostones and empanadas from the start had us finishing the plate clean. Great service, drinks, and food. Nice to be seated out on the water hearing the music and seeing the sites that Biscayne has to offer.
Lovely and lively location along the water at bayside marketplace. Prices are reasonable, good value, great food and ambiance. Service was friendly and quick. Would recommend
I don't know why, but I really enjoy dining on the water. Well, next to the water, actually. If I was on it, I'd be in a boat. But I digress. This is a nice place with tables looking out over the bay. The food is good, but pricey, like most restaurants in nice areas in Miami. I'm not an expert on Cuban food, but I would guess this is more upscale than most authentic Cuban restaurants. But it was quite tasty and a nice bite before a concert at the nearby theater. I can't say anything about the parking because I mistakenly parked in the $30 lot across from the theater, not realizing there were other less expensive options only a block away. Well, live and learn. Next time I'll know better.
We had a plate of tequenos that were the best I have ever had and Cuban Sandwich also very good, the service was acceptable, sometimes our server disappeared for a while and then showed up... the Mojito in the big jar was okay but then we finished with a regular Mojito in the glass that was much better. The worst part of the experience was the multiple (disturbing) musics, they had bachata, the establishment next door had Reggaeton and some boats and other loud music so my head was spinning not for the Mojitos but the smoothie of terrible music.
Excellent service and delicious food. The restaurant is located with a great view of the ocean. The mojitos are delicious!
Great place for an outdoor lunch at a trendy place near the Port of Miami! Recommend the sampler, mojo shrimp, and shrimp enchildado. The mojito was delicious too! Service could be quicker especially since we went during the day
Empanadas were amazing. Rest of my meal was so-so. Service was friendly, but inattentive (had to flag my server down for anything). It was super loud.

We stumbled on this place as we were walking around, trying to find somewhere to eat. The waitress greeted us and asked us if we'd like to sit and eat here so we said yes. She gave us a menu to look at and she was super kind and patient and made recommendations. We started with the yucca elote and I cannot tell you how amazing it was. We ended up ordering a second. I feel like everything we got was delicious. I can't speak on the prices because I am from Texas so obviously this is more expensive than what I'm used to, but everything is definitely worth what I paid for and was eaten and drank. Even the manager stopped by to check in on us. They have an amazing view from anywhere you sit outside and I love how they are so immediate to cater to customers that come. One family just rolled up unannounced and they put tables together just to ensure that they could have a nice meal outside and that's a lot. I can say compared to most restaurants. If you were ever in the area, I highly recommend this place and please get the yucca elote! Oh, and PS the drinks are strong in a positive way. read more

We dropped in Friday around 6pm. There's both outside and indoor seating. You need to spend at least $50 minimum to sit inside. We decided to sit inside since it was very hot outside. We ordered 2 round of drinks. A bottle of corona is $5 during game days. Sparkling wines were ok. My husband liked the mojito and he ordered a modelo. For food, we ordered fried snapper and kuban fried rice with pork. The fried fish comes with 2 sides. We got the sautéed vegetables and fries. Everything was greasy and salty. Now we know that we need to ask for less salt. They have many tv screens. We watched the FIFA here. Service was ok. 20% gratuity automatically added like many places do. They don't have their own restroom. The Public restroom is located outside the restaurant and is a walk towards a shopping area. read more

I was in the area for the Miami fan fest in Bayfront. Stopped in for a bite to eat and a drink. The beef carpaccio was heavenly but the mojito, disappointing to say the least. Cute spot on the water but drink before you go read more

We stopped here right before heading to a Heat game. I've been to Bayside many times but had never been here before, so I suggested it to my fiancé--and it did not disappoint. The location is beautiful, with a great ambiance and atmosphere. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. We'll definitely be back! read more

Nestled right next to MIAMI bayside is KUBA ON THE BAY! Amazing ambiance and vibe along with great views of the harbor with boats passing by. Highly recommend their GRILLED MOJO SHRIMP (full of flavor!) or their SHRIMP ENCHILADO if you prefer something more spicy and also full of flavor! Amazing Drink to order: Coconut Mojito read more

Excellent food and service. Moms and I were visiting Miami after a cruise, rented a car and hung out at Bayside Marketplace for a few hours. The menu looked good so we stopped in. Mom had a beef soup I had shrimp enchiladas and a burger with fries Everything was delicious and we ate outside, our server was funny and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. read more

The food surprised me so much! It was so good. It arrived in good time, warm and flavorful. We had the octopus on mash and the rice with mixed meat to share. The service was lovely, very attentive. We got a table right next to the water, so the view while eating just gave the experience a beautiful ambience. The tables weren't too close to each other which I appreciated. read more
Food was great. Love that the mojito comes with a sugar cane. Service was slow and inattentive. Vibe was great because it's on the waterfront with lots to do and see. I'd go again and hope for better service. read more

Came to Florida for a long weekend and decided to take a day trip to Miami. So glad we stopped here for lunch! It's right on the bay surrounded by a shopping market and more restaurants/bars. We started with empanadas originally wanted beef but they ran out so we got the chicken. They turned out to be delicious. The chicken was in a red sauce. The empanada had a well balanced amount of filling and went well with the sauce. It was not greasy which was a plus. For my entree I got the ropa vieja which is like a beef stew with the arroz congris and sweet plantains. The flavors were delicious. Plantains were cooked just right. If I'm ever back I would definitely get that again. For a drink I had the mojito which was delicious with fresh sugar cane. Service was great, staff was attentive. read more

We had a lovely time having drinks and grilled shrimp by the water at Kuba on the Bay. The music is festive and the service attentive. I had Tostonos (savory plantains) and they were yummy- lots of fun for a vacation lunch! read more

Located at Bayside near the water, they have hookah, full bar and dinner menu. Fiancé and I popped in for a drink. Sat at outdoor bar because it was a beautiful evening. They also have tables inside and out, as well as an indoor bar. Drink prices are on par with the area, but the bartender made them worth it! read more

Stopped by here for a drink while walking around the Bayside Marketplace, and they have one the BEST piña coladas. Perfectly creamy and smooth with just the right thickness and that perfect pineapple/coconut flavor. We ordered it in a pineapple, and they give you some of the pineapple on the side to go with the drink. Definitely enough to share between two. It is a little pricier here. The drink itself was $35, which is a fair price for what you get, but they charge a mandatory 20% service charge on the bill. That being said, I enjoyed this drink so much I would still go back for it. Nice area to sit and enjoy while looking over the water. Definitely a must-stop for their Piña Colada. read more

Located in the popular tourist area known as Bayside Marketplace. We sat near the water to get a great view of the action around the bay. Food 8/10 Ambiance 8/10 Service 6/10 The cocktails were great! I had the giant Kuba Mojito and it is huge, and was made perfectly! My cousin likes dark rum so she had the Zacapa Mojito. For food we had the Cuban Lechon Asado, Yuca Fries, & the Kubano Sandwhich. All were good, just pricey for the small portions. The big negative during our experience is the sub-par service. We waited a while before someone offered us any attention. Then the staff did not seem interested or happy to be there. For example when I was done with the menu, I offered it to a staff member; he blew me off saying it wasn't his job. Overall it is pricey here, but expect that in a high tourist area. read more

Loved how we got to sit by the water next to the boats, so the ambiance was great. Our server was nice, so I have nothing to complain about there. The food was sooo good. I got the prime palomilla and was able to choose 2 sides, so I got the congris and these potatoes that were a mix between white potato and sweet potato, which were to die for. Definitely would come to this place again. Thought the price was also pretty fair for the quality of the food. read more

When we arrived in Miami, check into our hotel and this was the place we had dinner. The shrimp on this dish was so moist and fresh. My husband had the red snapper and it was delicious as well. We split grilled veggies and black rice and beans. Would totally be back to eat this again. It was rather crowded so it took a while to grab our server to close out but that's to be expected at the Bayside area. read more

Erin was extremely kind and helpful navigating and explaining the menu. Service was fast , and the food was delicious. Next time you want a sandwich Cubano, make sure you come to kuba on the bay. You'll not only enjoy a delicious Cuban sandwich, but you'll be by the pier and enjoy watching some yatchs pass by . read more
