Also the BEST filet mignon, incredible. We had the one on the Miami Spice menu and the lobster, wow! Buena Vista red wine bottle was very good. Best service here. I don't like repeating restaurants- too many to try in South Florida, but the best food and outstanding service keeps us coming back! We've been here 3 times in the last year! And we can't wait to go back again...that filet mignon is out of this world, best of all places. read more

I live in Miami for 8 years and I've been to numerous restaurants for time being and if I ever became regular somewhere - that would definitely be Platea. I absolutely love everything about this place. Warm welcome, how it looks like, casual atmosphere, excellent playlist, outstanding service and food, oh, that food of theirs, sweet baby Jesus. Delicious. It was my second time going there in less than a month and I'm already thinking about going again. That is how good they are. We decided to open our appetite with traditional pisco, simple, it's perivian steakhouse and when in Rome do as Romans do, it's that simple. Light, flavourful, tasty, love it. This time two of us started with ceviche, full of flavors, different colors and tasting notes, incredible dish same as charred ceasar salad with anchovies on top, the best caesar salad I ever tasted, we took it first time also. Every Tuesday they offer 64oz prime bone - in Tomahawk steak with side included for only $150, grilled to your liking and to perfection, juicy, tender, soft, seasoned amazingly, just out of this planet delicious. Add God's or truffle butter they have, it will improve already fantastic meat flavor and that butter will be burn table side by your waiter, so you have a little show as well for yourself. With 2016. Zinfandel we brought with us it was our piece of heaven, Tomahawk and Italian Primitivo together makes perfect marriage, Romeo and Juliet love story. Chef also sent two complimentary dishes for our table so I want to thank for that also! Want to mention two guys that really work hard to make our dinner memorable and those are sommelier Cipriani from Romania, always nice and polite and Rodrigo, our waiter, knowledgeable, professional, kind and confident in what he's doing. Both always there when needed. Also, there's a girl I want to mention, dunno her name, but super sweet and always with smile on her face, cleaning tables, reseting fast, she obviously knows what she's doing and she's also significant part of our amazing experience in this establishment. Excellent job everyone and see you soon. read more

This area of Pinecrest has been lacking a proper restaurant and so it is very nice that finally a "fine dining" experience is closer to home than say Coral Gables. We had a lovely dinner here and the staff was very welcoming and helpful. The ceviche - boss! I'm not even that big a fan of ceviche but this was really very good. I had heard rave reviews about the tostones and to be fair, they were very nice but as plantain isn't a favourite - I could leave it. I REALLY enjoyed the rib eye. It was so beautifully seasoned and to the perfect medium rare temperature. The only issue if I'm being picky is that there is only beer and wine - no spirits. Our party had a few scotch drinkers who felt if they had a drink or two - the experience would have just been top notch. read more

What a gem! It's a bit on the pricey side but it's nice to have a Classy establishment close to home. The service was impeccable 10/10 . We went on a Wednesday and they had a wine special. The sommelier was very helpful and friendly. We started with the tostones which were AMAZING . Full flavor and cooked perfectly. Then the ceviche, my husband loved. The house breads were adorable and delish, my only con is that they bring one per person, I could have eaten a half dozen! We shared the lomo which was plenty for two after enjoying our appetizers. We will definitely be back . read more

Visited on a Tuesday night. Beautiful place very nicely decorated. Started with the Rosita ceviche. Great flavor although a couple of the pieces of fish were a little tough. For dinner, we had the Lomo Salado and filet mignon. The fillet was super tender and delicious. I loved the seasoning and presentation of it. The Lomo Salado had a good flavor. It's not the best I've had but pretty good. The Caesar Salad had a pretty unique presentation and good flavor, but I'd prefer more of a traditional one. The service was very good. read more

A hidden gem in Pinecrest. Took my husband here for his birthday, and we left stuffed and impressed! The customer service, the presentation of the food, the food itself - all amazing! The food is a bit pricey but high grade meat and seafood are used. I had oysters and ceviche, which left me full! My husband tried the tomahawk and he said it was spectacular! Seasoned well, full of flavor. His only complaint was the meat was a fatty cut. Otherwise, delicious! For dessert, we had something called the heart breaker (I believe). It was flourless chocolate cake with dulce de leche and ice cream with Oreo crumbs. SOOOOOO good! I wanted to order another plate! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone considering trying it! read more

I took my grandparents here for a Miami Spice night, and had a wonderful experience. We all started with glasses of refreshing red sangria, albeit a tad sweet, and the most theatrical presentation of oysters on the half shell and a beautifully seasoned Peruvian ceviche. Grandma only ate half of her Filet, but grandpa had no problem finishing his sirloin, even though it was "a bit gristly." My lobster tail was sweet, buttery and delicious and skillfully paired with a Tempranillo red suggested from the sommelier. We finished the evening with cheesecake, rice pudding and cortaditos. Definitely plan on going back, perhaps on a "Tomahawk Tuesday." read more

This was my first experience at Platea. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. We came to celebrate time with family. We started off with appetizers of tostones with toppings of meat and spicy aioli. Absolutely tasty and crunchy. We also had the different ceviches. The seafood ceviche was fresh and just the right amount of spice. The main dish and presentation of the dinner was the 64oz tomahawk steak cooked to perfection. All the side dishes were very well presented. Another great feature was the amazing attention from friendly staff. We will definitely be returning. Great experience and amazing food. read more

Here's a restaurant that you get maybe in brickell but without having to drive so far, which is neat. Food is a little on the pricey side but I think it's worth it, ambiance & service are on point so I don't mind paying it. My only "complaint" if you can even call it that, would be the dessert. It's was good but I don't think it was worth $18. But other than that, I would totally go back. Happy to have found it! read more

I contacted the restaurant about my experience last month and no one had the courtesy of reaching out. This was my 4th time visiting Platea Prime Steakhouse & Ceviche Bar. My experience was not what I expected. The Chilcano drink was a lemonade, you couldn't taste the alcohol in it. The Prime Dino-Rib was pure fat, I would say 85% fat that I was not able to eat. My waiter forgot the Chaufa I had ordered and I had to ask for water because once I drank my water, my glass was empty for about 15-20 minutes. The Brussel Sprouts were overcooked and extremely salty. I would say that the best part of our dinner was the Charred Ceasar Salad and the chocolate cake we had for dessert. I'm not coming back after the experience I had. I was disappointed because this restaurant is not what it used to be. read more

I was…read moregenuinely excited to check it out, especially since having a wine bar closer to home sounded great--most places around here require a drive. Unfortunately, my experience was highly disappointing. I visited on a Friday night and it didn't deliver the wine bar or speakeasy vibe it advertises. They were showing sports on the TV, and the music was so loud that I couldn't even hear my partner across the table from me. Between the TVs and the volume, it felt more like a sports bar than a cozy wine spot. The space itself also took away from the ambiance. There are large windows where you can clearly see outside and everyone can see in, and the lighting was extremely bright. For a nighttime setting, it lacked any warmth or cozy, intimate feel. Because of this, our date was cut short and we left shortly after arriving. We each ordered a glass of wine (I can't remember the name), and to be fair, the wine was actually pretty good--they definitely got that part right. However, the food was another letdown. We ordered a couple of bites, and both my partner and I agreed that they tasted like ready-made items. The hummus was especially underwhelming--I've had better hummus from Publix. We also ordered the brie, which came with only a small handful of crackers, and the brie itself wasn't melty at all, which was disappointing. Overall, I really wanted to love this place. It has a good location and a lot of potential to be something great, but unfortunately, it's just not there yet. I hope they refine the concept and ambiance because it could be a great neighborhood wine bar with the right changes. Side note: service was good, the server was very attentive.

I met Alessandra at a wine event and learned that her company teaches many classes on wine and even…read moresake. I've been thinking of taking the WSET exam to get some more solid knowledge of wine, and after comparing different places offering the course as well as online options, I decide to take the class here. Located in the SunTrust building, the academy is easily accessible and there's garage as well as street parking around. The class is a small in size so it's good for sharing experience and opinions. Alessandra is readily available to answer questions during and after class, and she gives useful tips in preparing for the exam. The course really helped me in calibrating my palate to the WSET standard, as well as broadening my horizon and introducing me to less common wines, such as Hungarian tokaji and Australian riesling. In the end, I felt that regardless of whether I pass the exam or not, the course was totally worthwhile, because it has given me a lot of knowledge and the tool to better appreciate wine.

What an incredible time I had yesterday at the Florida Wine Academy for my Wine Class…read more I have so many reasons to go back, from the impeccable place, inside and outside, to the wonderful and well-prepared class, directed by Ms. Nicole. She emailed us, two days before, and asked us if we have any food allergies since they will provide some snacks to pair with the wines. She also gave us the address and explained to us how to get there and where to park. I parked in a public garage for $5.00, this was not my best choice, because I'm not used to walking alone downtown, but it wasn't that bad after all. I went into the Sun-trust building, a beautiful tall building. The academy is on the 22nd floor as Nicole told us in her email. Once I got there, we went to this room where she had everything set up as you can see in my pictures, so pretty and organized. That's one of the most important things for me, how well organized and neat everything was. I need all those, in order for me to learn and enjoy myself the way I did. She started the class as a Professor will, telling us about herself and that, made me happy, such a prepared person is teaching me about wine...wow. The way she directed the class, with all the details, from guiding us where to buy wines, to open up our senses. Smell, Taste, and Body, were words we used during the whole class since we learned from her how to categorize each different wine, from all the six we had. As we were learning, smelling, and trying the wines, she also told us how to pair them with food and gave us tips on which wine will go good or better with the food we choose. With the wines we tried, we had some nuts, cheese and crackers, grapes, and dark chocolate...Yummy! They also offer all the 4 levels of WSET classes, plus labs like the one I went and more. You can always call or check their website for more information. Honestly, after trying this class yesterday, I don't feel so embarrassed to try the leveled classes and get my certification, because they way they teach you, you can actually learn and move forward. Que increíblemente bien la pase ayer en la Florida Wine Academy en mi clase de vinos. Tengo muchas razones para volver; desde el lugar tan impecable, dentro y fuera, a la clase maravillosa y bien preparada, dirigida por la Sra. Nicole. Ella nos envió un correo electrónico, dos días antes, y nos preguntó si teníamos alguna alergia a los alimentos, ya que proporcionarán algunos aperitivos para acompañar a los vinos. Ella también nos dio la dirección y nos explicó cómo llegar y dónde estacionar. Estacioné en un garaje público por $ 5.00, esta no era mi mejor opción, porque no estoy acostumbrada a caminar sola en el centro de la ciudad, pero no fue tan malo después de todo. Entré en el edificio Sun-trust, un hermoso y alto edificio. La academia está en el piso 22, como nos dijo Nicole en su correo electrónico. Una vez que llegué allí, fuimos al salón donde ella tenía todo preparado como puedes ver en mis fotos, tan lindo y organizado. Esa es una de las cosas más importantes para mí, qué tan bien organizado y ordenado era todo. Necesito todos esto para poder aprender y disfrutar como lo hice. Comenzó la clase como profesora, contándonos sobre ella y eso, me hizo feliz, una persona tan preparada me está enseñando sobre el vino ... wao. La forma en que dirigió la clase, con todos los detalles, desde guiarnos a dónde comprar vinos, a abrir nuestros sentidos. Olor, Sabor y Cuerpo fueron palabras que utilizamos durante toda la clase, ya que aprendimos de ella cómo categorizar cada vino diferente, de los seis que probamos. Mientras aprendíamos, olíamos y probamos los vinos, ella también nos dijo cómo combinarlos con la comida y nos dio consejos sobre qué vino iría bien o mejor con la comida que elijamos. Con los vinos que probamos, tuvimos nueces, queso y galletas, uvas y chocolate negro ... ¡delicioso! También ofrecen los 4 niveles de clases de WSET, además de laboratorios como el que fui y más. Siempre puede llamar o consultar su sitio web para obtener más información. Honestamente, después de probar esta clase ayer, no me siento tan avergonzada de probar las clases niveladas y obtener mi certificación, porque de la forma en que te enseñan, en realidad puedes aprender y seguir adelante.

Platea Miami in Pinecrest exceeded all expectations and provided a truly memorable dining experience. From the impeccable service by our server, Adan, to the deliciously curated dishes, everything was top-notch. The appetizers and sides were just as noteworthy. The Tostones had the perfect crispness, and the Fried Ceviche offered a unique twist on a classic, with its fresh and tangy flavors elevated by the crispy preparation. Our table enjoyed a variety of their offerings, and each item was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality and flavor. The New York Strip and Filet Mignon were cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with flavor. The Prime Ribeye was equally impressive, showcasing a balance of seasoning and juiciness that any steak lover would appreciate. The Risotto was creamy and flavorful, while the Fungi + Onions added an earthy, caramelized touch to the meal. The Jasmine Rice was a simple yet flavorful side that tied everything together beautifully. We paired our meals with White Sangria, which was refreshing and perfectly balanced--not too sweet, not too tart. Every detail, from the ambiance to the presentation of the dishes, reflected the restaurant's dedication to excellence. Platea Miami is a must-visit for anyone looking for a premium dining experience in Pinecrest. We'll definitely be returning soon to explore more of their menu! read more

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Tomahawk Tuesday special at Platea, and let me tell you, it was an absolute delight for the taste buds! The Tomahawk steak was nothing short of a carnivore's dream--juicy, tender, and grilled to perfection. The flavors were simply phenomenal, leaving me craving every succulent bite. But what truly made this dining experience exceptional was the impeccable service provided by our server, Santiago. From the moment we were seated, Santiago made us feel welcomed and ensured our dining experience was seamless and enjoyable. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and offered valuable recommendations, making our meal that much more enjoyable. The ambiance at Platea was wonderful, creating the perfect setting for a delightful evening. The Tomahawk Tuesday special is an absolute must-try for any steak enthusiast, and with Santiago's exceptional service, you're guaranteed a memorable dining experience. I'll definitely be back for more of that delicious Tomahawk goodness! Bravo, Platea! read more

We used to love this place but the quality has slowly been going downhill. Service is fine, but not sure if they've changed chefs. There is a noticeable change in the kitchen and not for the better. For what they are charging it's no longer worth it. You're better off going to Sunny's or Daniel's! Caesar salad tasted old and wilted, we sent it back and they served it again over charred. Tostones were undercooked and the steak on top was over cooked, used to be my favorite appetizer. Ordered a fillet medium and it was undercooked. Too much char on the skirt steak. It's a shame because we really had a great local place for a while. When you spend $400 for 3 people you just expect to enjoy the food. The Chaufa was good but the proteins again were over cooked. Manager made the quickest visit to the table I have ever seen even though we had already sent food back. Just enough time for him to say how is everything and poof, he was gone. Sorry Platea, we won't be coming back. read more

Tonight's dinner at Plantea Steakhouse was a remarkable experience that I'm eager to share. From the moment we stepped in, the warm and welcoming ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable evening. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the steak. Cooked to absolute perfection, it was a symphony of flavors that melted in the mouth. The seasoning was spot on, enhancing the natural taste of the meat without overpowering it. Another dish that deserves a special mention is their tostones. These crispy, golden delights were the perfect balance of savory and sweet, making them an instant favorite at our table. But what truly made our visit exceptional was the service. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind, making us feel valued and well taken care of throughout our stay. In summary, Plantea Steakhouse is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates fine dining, exceptional steaks, and top-notch service. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

If you're looking for a Peruvian dining experience with a top-notch wine selection, this restaurant should be on your list. The wine menu is impressive, with a wide range of excellent options. I opted for a 2014 grand reserva from La Rioja, and the sommelier did a fantastic job decanting it to perfection. Paired with my steak, it was an unforgettable combination. I'd gladly return just to explore more of their wine offerings. They also offer a reasonable corking fee if you bring your own bottle, which is a nice touch. The service was solid from start to finish, and the menu had plenty to offer. My steak and asparagus were cooked exactly as I hoped--perfectly seasoned and prepared. I started the night with a classic pisco sour, which set the tone for a wonderful evening. For anyone in the area, this restaurant is a must. Between the great food, attentive service, and an outstanding wine list, it's excellent value for money. read more

I recently dined at Platea and ordered a medium rare steak with a side of potatoes. The food was great - the steak was cooked to perfection and the potatoes were crispy and well-seasoned. However, I must admit that the prices at Platea are a bit steep. While the quality of the food is excellent, it does come at a higher price point. That being said, I would still recommend Platea for special occasions or when you're in the mood for a fancy night out. The atmosphere of the restaurant is upscale and elegant, with a sleek and modern interior that is perfect for a romantic dinner or special celebration. read more

Great vibe, great food. Taking a star off due to what I feel could have been a poor experience, originally had reservations for 4, ended up just being 2 of us, halfway thru dinner one of the owners came by, discreetly and politely said he may need to move us to a smaller table, which I understand, but, here's where I feel it could have gone bad, how do you move two people in the middle of dinner? I felt it would look awful and it would be disruptive to us and the other patrons, so we wrapped up dinner and left to avoid the above. Again, overall, great minus the moving chat. read more

Although the food is of great quality! I believe that the service does not equal the price point.

I came with no expectations and left very impressed with not only the quality of the ingredients but the love and pride that shows in the cooking. Food was delectable to say the least. I opted for the beef tartare, orzo and prawns for main and the basque cheesecake for dessert. The tartare has to be one of my top 5 in the city. It may have been aji amarillo emulsion combined with the garlic aioli but my goodness, that was one mouthwatering beef tartare. As for the orzo and prawns, I couldn't get enough of it. First time trying orzo and closest thing to it would be risotto but more filling. Creamy and perfectly cooked while swimming in that finger licking good lobster sauce and garlic aioli. I found myself inclined to lick the plate but you know we have to keep decorum at nice fine dining establishments. Ended the meal with a decadent well made basque cheesecake that has to be one of my top 3 in town. Washed it all down with a medium dry Pinot Grigio. The waiter was also very attentive and friendly at all times. I'd like to come back off MS season to try a few more things. This joint is one of those for sure.
