    Appetizer chicken

    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.

    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

    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.

    Sandwich Kubano

    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.

    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!
    Crissie H.

    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.

    My friend ended up inviting me to this place when I was in Miami for work. It was so good. I…read moredefinitely need to visit this place again. We got a section and my friend order food for the group. They order the jerk chicken and I got the oxtails. All the food was good. I ordered an old fashioned and it wasn't good at all. All in all this was a good experience.

    Great atmosphere and music, but the food and service were a major letdown…read more The atmosphere at Dukunoo is definitely the best part. The music was great, the vibe was lively, and they had the NFL season opener playing on multiple screens, which made for a fun environment. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill once the food arrived. We ordered the Lik Yuh Fingas Oxtail, which came served in a small Dutch pot. The presentation was really nice, but unfortunately, that was probably the best part of the dish. The oxtail was mostly bones and fat, with very little actual meat. The rice and peas were cold and undercooked, which was especially disappointing. We also ordered the Yard Style Fried Chicken. I was expecting crispy, flavorful fried chicken, but it was the complete opposite. The chicken was soggy, not crispy at all, and basically tasteless. I ate one piece and did not even bother with the rest. The gravy was honestly the highlight of the entire meal. For appetizers, we ordered the Crispy Ackee Rolls and Pressed Plantain Bites. They were okay, but once again, both tasted like they had been reheated rather than freshly prepared. The service was another major issue. Our waitress took our order and then disappeared. She never came back to check on us, never asked if we needed anything, and did not even ask if we wanted water. At these prices, basic attentive service should be expected. And that is the biggest problem. The prices are outrageous for the quality of food being served. You are paying premium prices for what is ultimately pretty standard Jamaican food, and the execution just was not there. Dukunoo has a lot going for it. The music, atmosphere, decor, and overall vibe are great. But the food quality, freshness, service, and pricing need significant improvement. Right now, you are paying more for the atmosphere than the actual dining experience.

    From the service to the food, our experience at Shiso was impeccable…read more We walked in for happy hour on a Sunday. The vibe of the space feels like they brought in the murals of wynwood to their interior design. The music selection was rap hit after rap hit, loved. We sat at the bar. Our server was Marcus. He was so helpful and attentive. Gave us his menu recommendations, which we followed suit. We ordered the duck dumplings and the sweet potato croquettes from the HH menu. From the regular menu, we ordered the bbq toro and the oxtail udon. The duck dumplings had a rich au jus, great. Our favorite app was the sweet potato croquette. Slightly sweet, a satisfying crunch, but soft in the center with tender brisket. The white bbq sauce and parm gave it a nice smoky nuttiness. Ordered another round, they were so good! The bbq toro had an amazing smokey flavor and a nice citrusy butter as the sauce. The cut was perfect. The oxtail udon was really hearty, and by far the best dish we had (though all the dishes were seriously incredible). It comes with a cured egg yolk, which they mix for you tableside. There was a good amount of oxtail in the dish and the udon sauce - bottle it for me please and thank youuu.

    I attended this restaurant for a family memes birthday brunch. First thing is everything online…read moresays Shiso but receipt and this page states wynwood event center. Now the best thing was the music and that's how they reel you in. They play the songs that don't normally get played. However, the service is not great really sucks and the only thing worried about is refilling your mimosas glass. Btw I didn't have I had a glass of wine. The wine was good. Oh and the croquettes were good. I took back avocado toast let's say it was so tiny and bread burnt. The braised ribs not seasoned at all has no flavor none at all the has browns were store brought not home made. Another thing the waffles not homemade either look like eggo waffles. I'm being serious.

The chicken was super flavorful with that real jerk char, very spice, rice and peas perfectly seasoned, and that spicy pikliz on top is a must -- cuts through everything. The baked macaroni gratin was cheesy and crispy on top, just how I like it. I got 2 plates and with Uber One savings + promo it came out to only $33.88 total -- amazing value for the portion size.

    Food was very unappealing. The chicken was just okay the thigh was burnt and dry…read more The sweet plantains were also burnt, dry, and extremely small. The collard greens had no seasoning at all and tasted like watered-down vegetables. The key lime pie was soggy and, on top of that, very small.

Sad part is we've bought from here before the snapper meal at was super good about 4 yrs ago after that we bought the snapper again then it all went down hill from there I thought I'd give them a try again but I'm 100% sure never to order from here again. I had to throw the entire meal to the trash .Oh and the Mac and cheese is in the trash too. Either fire all the cooks or close this place down .

Let's start with the mojito that came with such a large piece of sugar cane. It was so good! The waiter recommended my meal and it was delicious. The meat was tender and well seasoned.
