This food gem located in Pinecrest is worth visiting...! Ambiance -- Beautiful atmosphere for either a date night or a family dining experience or celebration. It is charming and welcoming. Service -- Exceptional, professional, and attentive service from the moment you sit down to the moment you depart. Food -- Oh goodness...!! Went on Tomahawk Tuesday and it didn't disappoint. This meal comes with a succulent 64oz [comes also in a 32oz] Tomahawk steak, salad, side dish, and dessert. *Salad ordered -- Charred Caesar: Not your usual salad drenched with dressing, but a perfectly crafted, wood-fired delight. *Side dish -- Pomme Purée [mash potatoes]: A perfect pairing for the steak with a hint of garlic that added to its deliciousness. *Dessert -- The "Garden": A beautiful dessert masterpiece. It's a rich and succulent cheesecake garnished with liquid nitrogen frozen rose petals. It is a visual delight but even better tasting. It is fine dining at its best and worth every penny. Can't wait to go back...! read more

Amazing food as always! Great service and ambience! Our favorite are the Octopus, Porterhouse and the Brussel sprouts!

Amazing dinner from start to finish. The food was outstanding, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The service was exceptional, and Julio made the experience even better with his friendly, attentive, and professional approach. He provided great recommendations and made us feel welcome throughout the evening. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Julio, for a wonderful dining experience! read more

We've been to Platea a few times now, and it truly never gets old. I love having such an incredible steakhouse right in our neighborhood. If you're looking for high-quality cuts at a lower-than-expected price point, this is the spot. You will not be disappointed. read more

This place is a bit hidden but very well known. Great atmosphere, modern decor with an exotic twist. The fried ceviche was amazing! The Ceasar salad was one of the best we've had. Although the seabass was delicious, the portion was way too small, especially for the price. Same with the filet mignon, very good but a bit small with no sides included. The baked Alaska was perfect! The wine selection was limited but loved the Chardonnay. Overall we loved the food and experience. The only complaint is that the price is a bit high for the amount of food received. read more

What an outstanding birthday dinner! We shared the Parmesan Oysters and the 38oz porterhouse, which was cooked to perfection. The garlic mashed potatoes and fungi and onion were perfect accompaniments. Service was impeccable and we loved the simple, yet elegant atmosphere.

Platea is hands down one of my favorite restaurants. My family & I go at least once a year and we all absolutely love it. The food is always incredible, we had- ceviche, oysters, tostones, charred caesar salad, lomo, steak, lobster, & the brussels sprouts are all so good. The service is always warm and welcoming and the staff make you feel right at home. It is a smaller restaurant so definitely make a reservation, but it is totally worth it. The music is just the right volume for conversation and they have a great wine selection too. We have been coming here for two years now and they never disappoint! 10/10 read more

We loved Platea. It's a small, classy spot that took over the old Pei Wei in Pinecrest (RIP orange chicken), but now it's easily one of the best fine dining options in the area. No liquor, but there's a sommelier on deck to help with wine, so you're in good hands. We started with the passion ceviche -- fresh, slightly sweet, and a nice twist on the classic. The pulpo (octopus) came next, served with potatoes and a savory sauce that smacked. Next was the seabass entree. Clean, flavorful, and cooked just right. Then came the prime ribeye -- huge cut, and they torch a piece of rosemary tableside like a signature move. Smells amazing, tastes even better. Skip the sauces -- it doesn't need 'em. For sides, we had the fungi (bright, limey, and tasty) and the tallarines verdes, which is basically creamy pasta. Yes, it's a little pricey. But if you're in Pinecrest and want a great dinner without driving into Brickell or the Gables, Platea's 100% worth it. read more

Back in the day, Platea's brunch was superb, but it was discontinued (due to low volume). We therefore decided to try Platea for dinner; it was a mixed bag: Strengths: *Sleek but comfortable ambience *Ceviche bowl is superb *Excellent, attentive service (Doug Z was our waiter- he's friendly and efficient) *Wine list is decent Weaknesses: *The whole fish entree is really designed for two people, but we were not warned about this. Although the portion is quite large, the fried red snapper was good but not great, and will set you back $65 *The phantom fries sounded good on paper, but lacked seasoning *The Sea Bass was lukewarm when it reached the table, and also somewhat lackluster *The Fungi + Onions side dish lacked flavor Granted, steaks are a Platea specialty, and we did not sample them, so we may return to give Platea's steaks a chance in the future. The restaurant fills up fast on weekends, so make a reservation through OpenTable. read more

I've been hearing for a while that Platea is an amazing steakhouse! It is located in an unsuspecting shopping center in Pinecrest. I go to the Starbucks there all the time but finally got to try out Platea. It definitely is on the pricier side. Steaks are their speciality! Service was amazing! The manager was so sweet with my son and showed him magic tricks. We had some tostones upfront for the table which were good but very filling. I orders the New York Strip Steak and the charred Cesar salad. Everyone at the table loved the salad. Cool feature: they burn the rosemary on top of the steak in front of you for added flavor. The steak was good and buttery. My only issue with the two dishes: they were pretty salty. I drank a lot of water and didn't finish them. We ordered the cheesecake with seasonal fruits for dessert which was really yummy and also came in a cool presentation. read more

Platea keeps getting better under Chef Fernando's watchful eye. His brother has joined him after working in Michelin star restaurants and the GM, Fred, is very experienced and professional. We went for Mothers Day and although crowded, it was not hectic, we were not rushed and service was impeccable. Great background music provided by a guitarist playing at just the right level. Steaks were cooked to perfection and fish was very fresh. Everyone loved the mushroom and onions, as well as the truffle fries for side dishes. Try it and you will go back. look at website for special nights, like free corkage on Wednesdays read more

The restaurant is tucked away in Pinecrest and is beautiful inside, very cozy. The service was excellent and nothing was ever missing and they treated us kindly. The star of the show was the food, absolutely everything was delicious! Definitely order the octopus appetizer and the steaks were absolutely amazing, good crust and cooked to our liking with a delicious sauce. The sides were just ok, which is why it doesn't get 5 stars, but appetizers and mains are the star of the show read more

We came over for Miami spice, but it wasn't available on Friday or Saturday, so we decided to take their main menu for a spin instead. Enter: stuffed lobster tail. This is the biggest lobster tail I've ever had in my life, must try if you like lobsters of course. Desert: cheesecake, a must try, it comes with liquified ice and the presentation alone is worth the $22 price tag. read more

Platea - Tomahawk Tuesday - Peruvian Near Me - Pinecrest, Florida

Really needed one hour to savor a good glass of wine and a steak! Decided to stay down South and returned to Platea. Hostess seated me immediately. Sommelier arrived and helped me select a Malbec. Server actually poured. I don't think the sommelier returned (I would have loved a second glass but I guess it's a one glass limit) Ordered the bread and butter - delicious and unique take on a simple starter. Server talked to me about the steaks available. I like that. We decide I need a NY strip. I took her suggestion for my side of pappardelle. I have never had pasta as a side for steak..I'm always looking for a baked potato. I didn't enjoy the steak WITH the pasta...but I loved the pasta dish solo...and the steak solo. I will definitely get both again. No dessert, no second glass of wine. But a very satisfying meal with great service. read more

Visited on a Monday night for a business dinner. Everything we had was amazing and I would eat any of the dishes all over again. Unlike other reviews, the place was empty, likely due to the day and time. Service was absolutely top notch. For appetizers, we had the ceviche and the tostones with (I'm guessing) lomo saltado. Then had an amazing Caesar salad and filet mignon. The meat was cooked to perfection and very tender. Mashed potatoes and the green Peruvian pasta were good. Waiter recommended the Brussel sprouts, but I'd probably skip those. Overall, had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place. read more

2nd time in a row here that I was served a filet mignon inclduing the connective tissue section with all its fat and gristle. This tail piece (no, not a real tail) is always removed at a restaurant that understands what a customer expects when ordering this cut of meat. One of us ordered a soft drink half way thru the meal which was delivered after the meal (and refused). Nice people, but food quality and service are slipping, sadly. read more

This place is a gem in a neighborhood desperate for culinary relevance. Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay lack great restaurants, Platea makes up for that. The food is amazing and the service is just as great. They have a lovely wine list, only knock on the place is that there isn't a full bar. You can't go wrong with any item on the menu. Definitely a must try! read more

Having a quality steak house like Platea in your neighborhood is a luxury. It's a beautiful restaurant with top notch service from the first greeting when you walk in, the service throughout the dining experience and the way you leave feeling so satisfied having enjoyed a wonderful meal and had every aspect of experience carefully curated. Sometimes I stop in for quick meal of one of their amazing ceviches or a tuna tartar and sometimes it's our special occasion restaurant where we go all out and capitalize on their phenomenal steak options and fabulous wine list. But no matter the day or the type of experience you want, it's always top tier. I highly recommend their Tomahawk Tuesday special, but they have something great to offer throughout the week. I'm honestly surprised that they've maintained their specials without raising the prices or just flat out canceling them. And I know this is minimum, but the fact that parking is easy and plentiful is such a beautiful bonus. read more

Service was excellent and food was outstanding. The Dino rib has meat that falls off the bone. The Chaufa (Peruvian) is excellent. The Tiradito is a great appetizer. I'll be going back with a bigger group. read more

This place is truly a steak house more than it is a Peruvian restaurant so if you go with that in mind you will love it! We had the baked oysters as our appetizer. These were perfectly baked and cheesy with small fish egg balls on top!! I'm not sure if the balls would be considered caviar. Delicious!! Since it was MIGNON MONDAY, we ordered the three-course dinner for two for $65 per person featuring: Two charred caesar salad wedge Two 8oz Prime Filet Mignons (add truffle butter for $10) Two desserts called "The Garden" We also ordered pomme puree (which is mashed potatoes with cheese on top) and brussel sprouts. Both were incredibly delicious, especially the brussels sprouts. The oysters were perfectly baked and they were nice and cheesy! So yummy!! We also ordered two passion fruit juices, which were really good too! The filet mignon was perfectly cooked and I asked for a side of the yellow sauce. It was perfect!! The steak just melted in my mouth! You could tell that it was really good quality beef. The dessert was a piece of lucuma cheesecake with berries and dulce de leche foam. It was good. We were so full that we got the desserts to go. The oysters and the filet mignon will have me coming back for sure but next time I want to try the crab stuffed lobster tail!! read more

The place has dimmed lighting making it a romantic atmosphere for any date night. We will definitely be coming back! W read more

Really really good steak. Unique flavor compared to most other steakhouses in Miami. A tad on the expensive side considering location but you're definitely getting what you paid for read more

Nice place for the area... was not impressed with the food at all. Expected a lot more flavor out of the steaks. They only serve beer and wine as I don't believe they have a liquor license. The chaufa was pretty good and the mashed potatoes as well. The fried ceviche was off and the bread seems to be sweet bread similar to Hawaiian rolls. For this experience and expense... plenty of steakhouses in Miami that are much better alternatives. Service was great and friendly. Not a place that stands out and much less for what they charge. No where near a Prim 112 or similar steakhouse. read more

Hell yes! This is a solid steakhouse. The atmosphere is upscale with some extra pizzazz. The service was wonderful. The steak was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better steak. The fat was wonderfully rendered and actually edible. It's super rare for me to eat the fat on a steak but Platea guarantees that every ounce of your steak will be absolutely delicious. Get the oysters, they are absolutely delectable. Very elegant. I could eat 50 if you let me. I felt that the tallarines verdes were good but I felt like something was missing. It's a very decadent dish with a delicate flavor. Delicious but it left me wanting more from the dish. The lukuma cheesecake was a surprise. I didn't expect it to be deconstructed. It was delicious though. It's the perfect dessert to close the night after such a heavy meal. It's light on the palate and on your stomach. I did not try the tostones but my buddy enjoyed them. Also the wagyu lomo saltado was crazy! This is probably the best Miami Spice menu. The food was good, real good, like toe curling, head tilting, shoulder shrugging, full on body tweaking good! read more

Took my boyfriend here on a Wednesday night to celebrate his birthday. I love the location of this spot, it's in Pinecrest so it's close to home. I hate that all the fancy/good restaurants are always so far like wynwood or downtown. It's in the corner of a strip mall but once you get inside you immediately feel like it's a classy restaurant. Since we came on a Wednesday we didn't get to take advantage of their tomahawk Tuesday special but since it was Wednesday we got a discount on a bottle of wine. Our server was fabulous. The service was everything I had hoped for. It was like a well orchestrated dance the way the servers took and brought things to the table. To eat we got a bunch of appetizers so I'll list them in order of my favorites. I will say the presentation for each one was beautiful!! Pulpo: usually if a restaurant has octopus on the menu we'll order it and I'm so glad we did. This was my favorite dish. The presentation was lovely and the flavors were just out of this world. Highly recommend this one. It was a good portion to share. Oysters: we got two different kind of oysters, the raw and the baked. The raw oysters were WOW. They had like the ceviche flavor in it like a leche de Tigre.... Best idea ever. Mixing the oyster with this sauce (if that's what it was) was next level!!! The baked oysters were delicious as well. They had a very cheesy taste (obviously) but we love cheese so it was very enjoyable for us. The little balls on top were so interesting we were trying to figure it out but they gave an herb flavor so it was very intriguing! Next is the bone marrow. We have never had bone marrow before and this was probably my bf's favorite dish. The texture is like fatty meat but the FLAVOR was just... wow. It was just addicting. We thoroughly enjoyed this dish. Probably will order it somewhere else and hate it since this is our first try and it set the standard very high! The tostones in our opinion were not special. Compared to the other dishes we ordered, these fell behind. It was good, not great. The meat (wagyu picancha) didn't taste like wagyu and more like skirt steak. The sauce on the tostones was good though so I ate just the tostones without the meat. Last but not least we got a side of Brussels sprouts. My bf enjoyed them but to me they were a little too charred for my liking. Very salty too. So this was last on the list. I didn't really eat any. Overall, will love to come back. The experience was amazing and the food overall was fabulous. I would recommend it for special events or a romantic evening! They know what they're doing here and I hope they have success down here in Pinecrest! read more

I've been wanting to come here since they opened and I finally got the chance. I came here to celebrate my birthday with friends. It's cold inside, so dress warmly! There were 4 of us. We shared a bottle of red wine. We ordered the ceviche bowl, the fried ceviche, and the grilled ceasar salad as our appetizers. Everything was delicious! I loved the ceasar salad! The fried ceviche was super good! Very unique! The ceviche bi is pretty spicy- but delicious! As our entree's we had the branzino, the sea bass, and the prime New York strip steak. As our sides we shared the roasted Brussel sprouts, and the Tallarines Verdes (pasta). Those are the best Brussel sprouts I've ever had. I also loved the Tallarines verde (pasta), but I started getting so full, I barely had any. I tried my friend's sea bass and I liked it more than I liked my Branzino. But my Branzino was good too. I got too full to even eat half of it. The bottle of wine was plenty for the four of us. The wine menu is extensive. They sell by the glass, 1/2 bottle, and bottles. They also have them categorized by country. They have a corking fee, but they have "specials" during the week and one of the specials is no corking fee when you buy a steak. We split the bill in half and it came to $200 each. So, $400 total, or $100 per person. Not bad for the amazing food, wine, service, and for the amount of food! I took home a bag full of leftover Branzino, Brussel sprouts, the pasta, and half of my grilled ceasar salad. read more
