    This is one of the true standouts of South Beach. A quiet gem tucked away on the side of a more touristy street favorited by locals who truly appreciate truly elevated, yet unpretentious food. The service is friendly and attentive, but restrained enough not to be overly casual. The intimate dining room can be enjoyed at a table or among characters at the bar. Outside seating is a lovely option on a sexy evening. We went recently for a group business dinner of pescatarians and meat eaters and everyone enjoyed exquisite bite after bite. Steak and branzino equally perfect. Branzino is appearing on Miami and Miami Beach menus as prevalent and uninspired as Brussels sprouts a few years ago, but no one, absolutely no one is doing a better preparation than Tropezon at any price point. We ordered so much food and would be hard pressed to name a favorite. Let the bartender choose which infused gin to elevate your cocktail. We fell in love with the French 75 and Gimlet. We cannot say enough about the welcoming spirit Byron has and the great level of professional care exhibited by Tim. I left promising myself I would not take so long to return. Even if you are next door at The Drexel for the main, you should be before and after at Tropezon. If you anywhere in the vicinity, make a stop lol. Ok you get the point.

    Just happened upon this place and it was absolutely incredible. Sat at the bar for service with Sofia and she was wonderful--attentive, friendly, super knowledgeable of the menu. Ordered tuna tartare (went too quickly to get a photo of!) and the torreznos which was so succulent but crispy and perfectly salted. It was cozy and eclectic, must stop by.

    Wow! Amazing food and amazing service! It's off the main part of the esplanade (but still close) where there seemed to be more touristy hard-sell restaurants. So glad we walked another block down and found this gem. We enjoyed our meal very much and our server was top notch. Even told us about the In Kind app so we could take advantage of a promo and apply it toward our bill. We will be sure to come back next time in South Beach!

    Wow, Española Way is such a cool European vibe. It's lined with restaurants with outdoor seating and is closed to through traffic. Sunday night was packed with tourists and locals. El Tropezón is a cool spot with tapas and a full bar. They also boast making their own gin, offering a wide variety of cocktails. Our server James was friendly and attentive. He definitely aimed to please! We had the croquetas, octopus, empanadillas, patata bravas, and ended with sweet churros. It was all washed down with a delicious white sangria. I will definitely be back!!!

    Boquerones fritos and Empanadillas
    Stephanie W.

    Vibes: casually refined tapas with mix of bar, bistro seating; bring a date or a few friends Tasting notes: - Boquerones fritos: good meat to batter ratio; tender, flaky meat - Empanadillas: served piping hot; excellent contrast between crispy exterior and umami rich, indulgent beef inside; the accompanying sauce was generous in portion and addictingly savory - Carrot: perfectly al dente carrots, paired well with the creamy yogurt; very shareable portion - Skirt steak: thick slices with slight char and chew - Seafood paella: one giant, juicy prawn with little rings of squid sprinkled in; in the saltier side; rice had a lovely caramelization Other thoughts: - Relatively quick order-to-food arrival turnaround - Not too busy on a Saturday early evening - Yuzu G&T was a beautiful purple and classic in flavor - Above dishes fairly light to be shared among four adults Impression: a solid dining experience, most impressed by the boquerones!

    Gin cocktail

    I've been wanting to try Tropezón since visiting last year and am so glad we came here for dinner at the bar! The bartender was awesome and created some off-the menu cocktails for us based on our spirit preference. I love that! For I was so excited to sample the food, and ordered the pan con tomate plus ham which was absolutely phenomenal and possibly the best version of this appetizer that I've ever had. It's one of my favorite tapas and I order it a lot so that says a lot. The little gem salad was another win with the best tangy vinaigrette dressing and delicious chopped pepperoncinis that just elevated it completely. The roasted carrots were fabulous (and highly recommended by the bartender) and the crab stuffed sweet peppers were the only miss, and they weren't bad but everything else was fantastic. While this restaurant is technically in a very tourist area, it is at the very end of the street and still feels like a hidden gem. I love the casual but fun and moody interior that makes it feel somewhat other-worldly. A fabulous spot for dinner and drinks on South Beach!

    Empanadillas
    Adam D.

    Tropezón is a fantastic restaurant with an atmosphere conducive to bringing friends or a date (or both!). The food is fabulous, the drinks are unique also delicious, and the atmosphere is a chill vibe. After a long afternoon, I met friends for a bite to eat before returning home to Palm Beach County. We sat at the bar, which normally I don't like in groups of more than 3, but we got to watch the bartender infuse gin with herbs, which was so interesting! We were given a taste of one of those gins - it was herb-y, fruity, and dry - really wonderful. But I was feeling like something a little sweeter on such a hot night, so I opted for the refreshing tinto de verano. Since it was Miami Spice, my friends and I opted for one of the evening's specials. Before that, though, we couldn't resist some of the appetizers - empanadillas filled with a delicate flavorful meet and a side of a spicy sauce as well as the escalivada, eggplant and other veggies with perfectly toasted bread. The Miami Spice menu that I chose started off with patatas bravas - helping handful of cooked potatoes in a luscious sauce, a chicken thigh that was so juicy and moist over a bed of pearled couscous and topped with greens. The rub on top of the chicken was so deep and amazing. And to top it all off, the churros were freshly made, crispy on the outside with cinnamon and sugar, soft on the inside with a homemade ice cream and hot chocolate sauce. I was in heaven. Everything about the meal and the evening went perfect. What a great spot!

    Tuna: marcona almond purée, pickled cucumbers
    Allison O.

    We had tapas here on a buzzing weekend night. Although we had no reservations, the hostess seated our party of two quite easily outside (busier inside). We tried a handful of cocktails such as a surprisingly sweet and smooth Negroni, the papaya gin-based Anillos de Saturna, and the martini. We were sooo enamored with the tapas! The tuna was fresh and creamy. The pork belly also stood out for its crispy and lime-salted skin. Piquillos were like saucy crab pockets that came in a set of 3. The tapas were brought out about one at a time. Definitely a charming place to bring a date!

    Fino martini
    Rob W.

    First and foremost getting in was a bit of a hassle--not a surprise given how in demand I heard this spot was (and during Art Basel to boot). I threw something in on Resy and got an almost immediate notification that we'd have a table in 45 minutes, but when we got there on time, there was some confusion. Major kudos to the Maitre'D, Antonio, who clearly cared and hustled and seemed to pull some reconfiguring magic to get us seated after an additional 10-15 minute wait. The drinks were absolutely spot on. I mean, they had me at the name Fino Martini, but they were incredibly inventive and tasty (so much so my girlfriend got a second). I had to try the Yuzu G&T for my second drink though, and that was also pretty excellent. Unfortunately the food didn't quite live up to our hopes. We had a number of tapas, only 1-2 of which we truly enjoyed. The Tuna (tuna, marcona almond purée, pickled cucumbers) was very interesting, but the The Maitake Mushrooms were bland, and the Torreznos (pork belly, tropezón spice, lime) was quite overcooked--as was the grilled octopus entrée we decided to share. We were still hungry after what we hoped would be enough food, so threw in the Charcoal Sardines after we finished our entrée, which was a definite highlight. Ultimately I would say the service here was impeccable and the drinks excellent, and it really is a lovely setting. The food wound up disappointing, which is a harsh toke at this price point. But given the other things to recommend it, I would definitely recommend for a cocktail, and could probably be convinced to give it another shot for dinner.

    patatas bravas
    Mia L.

    This place was fantastic and probably the best meal I had in Miami. Everything was exceptional. The patatas bravas were so good-- we ordered another after eating the first. The duck confit paella was also amazing-- we ordered seconds for that as well. The skirt steak and manchego/jamon appetizer was also amazing. Our waiter was fantastic and we sat in the outside back patio which had a great vibe to it. The meal was pricey but the food lived up to the expectations. Definitely recommend.

    Not good
    Cristina O.

    So disappointed. Came here very excited last Saturday night after reading favorable reviews but sadly, it did not meet my expectations. First off, when we arrived a couple was conversing with the host & they just talked & talked & talked while I waited, shivering in the cold for what felt like forever. When the couple finally decided to head into the restaurant, the host turned his attention to me. While he was very sweet, I was already a bit annoyed by the cold & instead of seating us ASAP, he asked us to wait either at the bar (no room) or in a small alcove where we awkwardly tried to avoid bumping into waitstaff as they zoomed by. Not ideal & not comfortable. Once we were seated, I was able to get a feel for the place. Super cute with an energetic crowd & a distinctly Spanish vibe. Since they specialize in gin, we decided to go with their Fino Martini (hojiblanca gin, hidalgo fino sherry, cerignola olive) Very strong & very good. To eat, we chose: - Pan con Tomate (grated plum tomato, garlic, pedro ximenez sherry), tasty but I've had way better many times over. - Tuna (marcona almond purée, pickled cucumbers) Best thing I ate all night. Super fresh & flavourful. - Gambas al Ajillo (crispy garlic, arbol chili, cognac) This was terrible. As I was cutting into the shrimp, it felt soft not firm & plump as I was expecting. Should have returned them there & then but instead, I decided to try it. BLECH!!!! flavour was bland & the shrimp was a creamy mush! I literally spit it out into my napkin but my boyfriend decided to try it & ended up being sick to his stomach for the rest of the evening & the following morning. - Olives & Almonds. As basic as it sounds. Really thought it would be somehow elevated but olives were mediocre & the almonds were coated in seasoning salt. Way too salty. - Mushrooms. They were ok, but tasted like the almonds which tasted like pure seasoning salt. Our water, Emanuel was very nice but everything took SOOO long & the food did . Dont think I'll be back, unfortunately.

    $39 octopus main course
    Andrew F.

    The host squeezed us in on a busy Friday night without reservation in prime time, so major props to that, off to a great start. Good vibe, with good music too. The mocktails were delicious and well priced, and the small plates were great (got the pork belly and the marinated vegetable dish). All was going well and we were looking forward to our main course, the octopus (at $39). Well, it came and listen, we live in NYC, and this was no more than a standard $19-24 appetizer at ANY NYC restaurant. This isn't a "Miami premium" issue - this shouldn't be listed as a main course, nor at this price. We walked away feeling a bit cheated, and still hungry. So, overall, would come back, but just wouldn't spend double on an octopus app.

    You're Happy Hour special- is it only available in the bar area or does it extend to all areas regardless where we sit i.e. the dining room?

    It's for the entire restaurant and the deal is you get a mini tapa with every cocktail purchase. It's super cute too.

I also ordered Fettucini Pasta at this time and it tasted good. But why did the server lie in the first place? We ordered quite a bit: salad, empanadas, tortilla española, milanesa napolitana, and seafood paella for 3 ($89.95). The portions were generous, especially the paella, but nothing tasted particularly good. Everything was bland and plain - even the paella, which was the most expensive dish. Coming from San Francisco, I expected much better quality for these prices. To add insult to injury, they automatically tacked on 7% FL sales tax, 2% Miami Beach tax, AND a 20% service charge. After all this, the same server who lied about pricing asked us to look for him next time we visit. Really? I feel like their business practices are sketchy and theor mediocre food don't justify the price tag. The service itself was fine, and the staff was friendly enough. If you go, maybe stick to their more reasonably priced pasta dishes and confirm ALL prices upfront. I'd skip the paella entirely.
