“The brisket was perfect and the mac n cheese was delish!”

“I had a fantastic experience last night! The service is top tier--Marco and the rest of the staff are kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. I had the best beef carpaccio ever--try it, they put a unique spin on the traditional dish--followed by the baby artichoke hearts and accompanied by an amazing Swiss Pinot Noir from Lucas Madonia. One of the best dinners I've had in a while and I'm frequently out. Highly recommend this quirky and cool restaurant!”

“Great food, excellent customer service.”

“This place is a hidden gem! Someone recommended this speakeasy for a drink while we were on vacation, and it didn’t disappoint. The music is banging, the bartenders are on point with the specialty drinks, and the ambience is stellar!

Really, just step into this bar and you’ll be amazed. It’s gorgeous. Danilo in particular was excellent, and you can tell he loves this place and its patrons.

We’ll be back every time we are in Miami!”

“Incredible experience at Café La Trova. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Libations were perfectly crafted and delicious. Our server, Isis, was amazing—warm, attentive, and made the evening feel extra special. The music and overall vibe were so fun and lively. Highly recommend!”

“We had a wonderful experience celebrating my wife's birthday here. The food was excellent, the staff were attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was lovely. Even though we hadn't made a reservation, the team accommodated us after about a 30-minute wait, which we really appreciated given how busy they were. The thoughtful touch of adding a candle to our dessert for my wife's birthday made the evening feel extra special. Highly recommend this place for both the quality of food and the genuine hospitality.”

“My cousin and I came here for dinner out of a whim so glad we did because it was so good. Melisa was the person who checked us out. She suggested us to half our burgers, and it was the best idea ever because I enjoyed both burgers did not know which one I liked more than the other the Dubai sauce also is to die for oh my gosh!!

The two burgers were The Golden and The Crispy onion.

Thank youuuuuu Melissaaaaaa!!!”

“One of our favorite restaurants!”

“I give him a five star review the food is excellent The Waitresses is very much on time and the waiter was excellent in the food is delicious I recommend this place very much”

“I cannot believe I had one of the best sushi in a food hall at the Miami Design District. The fish melts in your mouth and it combined so well with the sauces. I usually always order spicy mayo on the side, but it was not needed for this roll. We liked it so much that we had to buy it again. Not because we were hungry but it was just that delicious. I also tried the Wagyu hand roll and it was fantastic as well. I also loved the service and cleanliness from the place. I will definitely return to here to have this special roll again.”

“My first time was tonight… I’m going to be honest, GREAT pizza. I am a pizza snob. It was my first job as a kid and I spent 10 years doing it. Total home run! Can’t wait to come back!”

“Great pasta, great wine, amazing vibe!!”

“My two sisters and I went in on a Thursday at 6:15 with no reservations. We were warmly welcomed at the host stand and told they could seat us at the bar. We asked the host who seated us what his favorite dishes are and he recommended the creamy polenta appetizer and the pork chop. We were then greeted at the bar by Maria who was friendly and extremely helpful. She recommended a few wines and dishes and we settled on the polenta appetizer, a salad to share then we shared the spaghetti pomodoro, the mushroom pasta and the pork chop. Everything was truly delicious and we would definitely return.”

“I’ve been to a lot of Michelin star restaurants in Miami, and Palma blew some of them out of the water. Definitely one of my top five spots for dinner in Miami. The tasting menu was off the charts. The food was spectacular. Bravo!”

“Had the pleasure of being served by Jeffrey. He was extremely knowledgable and made some great recommendations. His personality and attention to detail enhanced the experience.

Our favorite foods were the South Beach Snapper and the Sticky Wings. The Sticky Wings were the best wings I have ever had.

Will definitely come back if ever back in Miami.”

“Great food, recommend trying Patates frittas, which is mushed potatoes in panco crust and fried, it comes with very rich truffle sause , probably a million calories but it's worth it. Lamb shanks and Cacio E Pepe were great too, also recommended. Ambiance is simple but cozy, with indoor and outdoor options.”

“Nick (the bartender) was the man! Great intimate atmosphere with good people and even better music (very eclectic playlist). Looking forward to coming back when I visit again in May.”

“Good food and great customer service. I highly recommend it !”

“Love the fish Tacos”

“Kyu delivers an exquisite dining experience from start to finish. The tuna crispy rice, pork belly and soft shell crab bao’s and fresh crudo are absolutely delicious. The sea bass serving is generous, perfectly prepared and the fish flaky. The claypot rice is comforting. We added duck to ours which was flavorful but I do love the rice without an added protein. . The bok choy is vibrant while the sweet potato has a buttery, smoky goodness. I absolutely love the fried chicken and the ribs here!

Diana our server was attentive, asked all the right questions and had great suggestions. Manager Octavio’s presence added another layer of hospitality — his warmth and attentiveness made us feel sincerely welcomed and valued.

Thank you to all of Kyu’s team for a wonderful evening!”
