Aguasal - by José Andrés Group

Fried oyster mushroom app was wonderful. Charred gen salad was way too heavy on a bed of creamy sauce, as was the octopus entree which was supposed to be served with a hazelnut “emulsion” but according to our server was a hazelnut “aioli “, which seemed true. It was also cold when it came out. Sent that back and skipped entrees altogether. Atmosphere is lovely. They need to work out a few kinks.

Food: fried mushrooms were flavorful but overly breaded, cobia crudo is a creative dish but ratio of cataloupe to cobia is off, grilled salad is also flavorful but over dressed, hanger steak was well-prepared but underseasoned and accompanied with bland sauce and bland roasted potatoes, chicken tagine was inedible. Also, wine list, while nicely focused, lacks vintage info (a pet peave). Service: waiter and other staff were attentive and appreciated but food service was far to slow (well over 30 minutes to appetizers and roughly 90 minutes to second course - the restaurant was far less than half full). Atmosphere: dead (sparsely populated and low energy) with thumping music - feels far too much like a hotel restaurant. Wanted to love (or even like) it as we're José Andrés fans and locals, but was not meant to be.

Celebrated my wife's birthday this past weekend at Aguasal. We are big fans of José Andrés. This restaurant has easily become our favorite of his. When you enter it is beautiful and welcoming. We did a coursed menu which was the perfect way to experience the menu fully. The attention to detail of not only the presentation but the taste is perfection. It needs to be said that the Zucchini soup is the I think the best soup I have ever had. But just as good as the food is the service, We had Nicholas and he made my wife's birthday unforgettable and made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Genuinely nice and happy. This is easily one of the best dining experiences you can have in Miami if you enjoy José Andrés, Mediterranean food, good service, or all of the above!

Very good atmosphere and food. Our server Nicolas was very nice.

Extremely welcoming service and the food was amazing. Unique spices and flavors that were super good. Best Miami Spice value I’ve seen. Highly highly recommend going. 10/10 experience for me and my parents.

I continue to give this place the rating it deserves. I am constantly in search of good food good atmosphere good vibes where I can walk to and from my home on the beach. This place checks off all the boxes. At this time, there is a really nice Miami spice menu happening and even a secondary version of the menu with different price.
points.
I ended up ordering from the $45 menu as I was just by myself sitting at the bar outside. Full portions came in nothing held back. It was very good. Excellent service by Roger at the bar never disappointed.!

An unforgettable multi-course dinner experience at our new favorite, Andaz! The seafood, especially the Gulf Shrimp was fresh and perfectly seasoned with exceptional bread service. All of our dishes were beautifully curated with an excellent wine pairing. My highlight was the Saffron Arroz Con Leche: bright, creamy, and full of fresh flavor.

What truly sets this spot apart is the service. Nicholas was attentive, personable, and genuinely welcoming (a rare find in Miami). His friendly warmth and personal approach elevated the whole evening.

Highly recommend for anyone who values thoughtful food and exceptional hospitality.

My expectations were really high before we arrived. This is “miami spice “ time for special menus which is full of fail.

Appetizers were average
Main course served cold and meat quality was low, it was chewy , 👎
wines which they served with plates was average
Desert also average
Service was not even average 👎
The question is “will I go again? “
UNFORTUNATELY NO !!! 👎👎👎

Another amazing restaurant from Jose Andres! The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and the service was very fast which was great for me since I’m 9 months pregnant. Our server Kris was very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back and will recommend it to friends

Truly loved our Miami spice dinners last night. They actually have 2 menus for Miami spice a 45 and 60 dollar menu. I believe the difference is mainly in the steak selection. We chose the 45 dollar menu with chicken tangine and Dorade fish. Amazing seasoning on the chicken and the fish deliciously crispy skin. The zucchini soup and the salad was amazing.
Loved the warm tones and feeling of this place. Nicholas our server was great!

Ricardo's personalized service really stood out. While the food overall was average, the highlights of the dinner were the warm shrimp, crispy dorado, and rich dark chocolate cake.

Had an amazing dinner at Aguasal, and our waiter David truly made the experience unforgettable. He was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were perfect (especially the [insert favorite dish or drink] — a must-try!).

David went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it shows in every detail. Exceptional service like his is hard to find.

We’ll definitely be coming back — and next time, we’re asking for David again!
