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.

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

Kubiche
Joyce T.

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.

Sandwich Kubano with Tostones
Stephanie S.

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.

The location
Kimberly C.

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

Kaleigh C.

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.

Michelle D.

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.

Sandwich Kubano
Elena D.

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

Patt G.

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.

Gabriel T.

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.

Coconut Mojito "extra large" amazing good !
Maria Q.

Excellent service and delicious food. The restaurant is located with a great view of the ocean. The mojitos are delicious!

Shrimp Enchilado
SJ K.

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

Pollito Canton.  Tostones were amazing!

Mastro's Ocean Club Miami might be the best steakhouse in the city, and I say that as someone who…read moredidn't even order a steak. Came here with my partner for our anniversary, just apps and drinks, and it was one of the best nights out we've had in a long time. The room is stunning, dark, moody, white tablecloths, that classic old-school steakhouse energy with a Miami pulse underneath it. You feel like you're somewhere that matters the second you walk in. The drinks alone are worth the trip. I had the dirty vodka martini and my partner had the dreamberry, both came out with dry ice rolling off them like a show. Mine was ice cold, perfectly dirty, exactly how a martini should be. The bar program here is serious. The food backed all of it up. The fig and burrata salad with heirloom tomatoes was fresh and beautiful, the sesame-crusted seared tuna melted, and the crab cakes were all crab, no filler nonsense. Then they surprised us with a dessert plate, chocolate cake and warm butter cake with ice cream, "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate. That kind of touch is why places like this stay on top. Service was flawless without being stiff. Attentive, warm, knew when to show up and when to disappear. This is my new standard for a night out in Miami.

Unfortunately, my birthday dinner at Mastro's was extremely disappointing, especially considering…read morehow much money my party spent. Some of the food we were served appeared to be undercooked, and afterward, multiple people in my party, including myself, experienced symptoms consistent with food poisoning. This was very concerning and definitely not the experience we expected from a restaurant of this caliber. I called the restaurant afterward and spoke with a manager named Adam to explain what happened. His response was that he "can't do anything for me." I found that extremely unfortunate and disappointing. When guests are reporting becoming sick after dining at your establishment, I would expect the situation to at least be taken seriously and handled with care and concern. We spent a significant amount of money celebrating a special occasion here, and the combination of the food quality, several members of our party becoming ill afterward, and the way my concerns were handled left a very negative impression. I truly hope management takes this feedback seriously and looks into what happened so another group does not have the same experience.

We all ended up deciding to make reservations at CVI.CHE 105. Let me tell you, this place did not disappoint! All of us agreed this place left a huge impression and made us want to come back! As in, we came back here three different occasions every time we visit Miami and go on our cruise. Every visit, this place has always been busy! We're always greeted warmly and get seated right away. It's highly recommended to make reservations ahead of time! In addition, the service has been excellent time and time again! The menu is thoughtfully curated with small plates, everything from fresh ceviche, tiraditos, sushi, etc. The main focal point though is quality and they SERVE! They know what they're doing when it comes to good Peruvian food. Ceviche Orga de Mariscos, Mojadito Marino, Pescado a lo Macho, Pargo Entero, etc. We've had tried different things and not a single thing lacked any flavors. All of it was absolutely delicious! We left nothing on the plates! Everything we've had were fantastic! We'll definitely be back again to explore more of the menu! If anyone were to ask where to eat in Miami, this place is a key winner!

The food and staff are excellent. The ambiance is cool and interesting. Kevin was our server. Great service and personality. Our meal: -Started with a Manhattan cocktail. It was perfectly prepared. -Spicy Edamame spicy and sweet very good. -Duck Lettuce Wraps a nice piece of duck breast with crispy skin on butter leaf lettuce. It was very good. -King Crab California Roll excellent -Brussels Sprouts with crispy pork belly. Also very good. We finished with the chocolate lava cake. I would have liked the cake to be a little more cooked. It was like a brownie sitting on top of chocolate soup. The flavor was good. The ginger ice cream that came with it was more ice than cream and the ginger flavor was very subtle. Valet parking is available.

So I really wanted to love this place. I have heard about their ladies night and happy hour…read morespecials for a couple years now. My friend suggested we go here before a movie on a Wednesday afternoon. I got there early, as we were to be at the movies, at the Silverspot by 6pm. And ladies night/happy hour starts at 5pm. Upon arrival I was greeted warmly by the hostesses and asked if I was there for ladies night. Then I was given two drink tickets. I sat at an empty bar. There was only one other person seated on the other side. At 5:15 a pack of women (5-6 ppl) walked in and started claiming seats and moving barstools around. I was saving one for my friend who was parking the car. When out of nowhere a manager (or someone who appeared to be in charge) ripped over to where we were seated and started talking to me sternly about moving chairs and saving seats. Never have I been reprimanded for saving one seat at a bar when there were other seats open. But I communicated with her that my friend was parking, and that I hadn't moved any seats. She reiterated again, no saving seats and then addressed the girls who moved the bar stools. Her tone was abrasive and honestly given what had occurred seemed out of place, especially that the bar wasn't packed and the restaurant was empty. Unfortunately, this interaction really just tinted the whole experience for me. I was scolded for something benign and also for something I had not done. Before I was admonished, I managed to order a roll (spicy tuna maki) and a drink, the agave picante. Neither was outstanding but neither were bad either. However, given the fact that it was happy hour food/free drinks it was perfectly adequate, nice presentation on both. The bartender was sweet enough and given how the manager treated us I figured he probably received similar treatment from both management and customers, or either or. So I wanted to tip him well. However, when I went to pay, the gratuity was already included and I said to him I wanted to tip him more than $2.40, because honestly he wasn't at fault at all, for how I was treated by his coworker/superior. But I guess whatever system they use makes it difficult to change because he didn't make the effort to let me pay him more. (It took very long to get our check because of said system, not sure why, but the poor man had to go hunt something down to do so. I paid with a normal card, nothing out of the ordinary as did all the people in my party.) My friend who chose the place and the other patron who was sitting at the bar both commiserated with me about the interesting treatment, and said they never saw or experienced what I did. So I hope it was a one off and maybe I was just unlucky to be seated next to a large group of ladies. But overall, if I had to recommend a place for happy hour, this wouldn't be it. Plenty of other places have better options for food/drinks and better service in the area. But I guess if you can't afford to buy yourself 2 drinks at happy hour prices and you happen to be a female, I understand its appeal.

Everyone was kind and friendly and super helpful in sharing places to eat and things to do during our stay, especially Mickey, the GM. I started with the Spicy blackberry margarita and it was an excellent choice. It was the perfect blend of sweet with a touch of heat/spice at the end. It was so good that I had two during LUNCH! The King crab linguine caught my eye on the menu. I typically don't do pasta dishes because of the carbs but I couldn't resist today. And I'm so glad I did. The huge pieces of king crab were probably some of the best I've ever had. The capers added a nice touch. The linguine was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My husband loves Key lime pie. I didn't think we had room in our tummies to hold it but thankfully they have a petite version. That size was perfect. I'm not a fan of key lime pie because it's so dense and tart to me. That was until I had key lime pie at Truluck's! Their version is light and airy and not lip puckering tart. It was amazing. I think we are going to go back to this spot before we leave! It was just that good.

Creamy coconut flavors with delicious savory and herbaceous Thai basil, creamy scallop and the fresh pomelo bursting as you bite through it. Absolutely craveable and simply perfect! The grilled oyster were completely different than I expected! The salted egg hollandaise was something I had never tasted before, the richness and thickness of the sauce coating the oyster completely blew my mind! Don't have 1, you must have at least 2! The second was even better than the first! And the tam tam tam wings! Perfect combination of sweet and spice! I did order extra hot sauces on the side (because I wanted more kick, but not because they lacked flavor, they were perfect and simply elevated by the green sauce that's typically on the prawns apparently). Lastly, the lamb curry, with the egg noodles. The perfect ending to our meal. I loved the texture of the noodles, they had a perfect bite and the lamb was super tender! I would recommend to mix it all up and add a splash of lime. Just perfect! If you can get a seat at the bar, you'll love the hustle and bustle of the kitchen, although the seats are not as comfortable as being at the table, but the friendliness of the staff will make it well worth it!
