Service was excellent. Food was OK. Ambience was great. But when you charge "service fee" instead of "gratuity" that just means the owner is greedy and wants part of the tip. I will never forgive that, or return here. Give your servers that whole 18% and call it a gratuity or you don't deserve any

I found this spot on open table bc I knew I would be visiting Miami.. The view from here.. Unmatched.... I do think they could use a rain plan as it's a Rooftop spot but not completely covered... So if you're eating and rain otw it's frantic... Food was good.. Wife loved the Caesar salad... I am curious are they low on staff as our waiter was serving like 12 tables seemed like.... They buss boys were great though... I WILL FOREVER HAVE THIS ISSUE AT EVERY RESTAURANT I GO TO THAT DOES THIS... DO NOT PUT THE EATING UTENSILS ON THE TABLE... NOTHING ABOUT THE TABLE IS CLEAN.. AT LEAST PLACE IT ON A NAPKIN OR A PLATE.. any who.. The experience was well here and it's in a great area with tons of shopping and bars to go to later,

Went here last week for dinner with my husband. The views were great. We were seated row from the railing. Unfortunately, it started raining and everyone sitting by the railing got up and had to walk away from their seats. I would not recommend if the weather is bad or rain is in the forecast.I had the Ceasar salad with scallops and it was amazing!!!Our waiter had a bit of a language barrier but was nice.The price at this place is the price, so don't be surprised.

Excellent service and pretty space with a great view, but atmosphere was somewhat ruined by awful 1990s music played much too loudly. Miami Spice menu looked good on paper, but was mediocre. A salad and desserts were good, but other appetizers and entrees were pretty bland. Can definitely do better.
Worst experience we've had in Miami so far. The food was late we kept asking the staff for our food but no one even answered us. Then our waiter finally decided to come and inform us that they have a big group and that's what delayed our food, but the restaurant wasn't full at all. The quality of the food was way below average our order came out under cooked. I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone and defiantly not coming back .

Was not impressed with the potions and taste of the food. The music was so loud we could barely hear our server who did not speak comprehendible English. The view was beautiful and so was the presentation of the food. Not worth the money.

We visited Juvia for brunch. It was a beautiful day and the view was spectacular. We arrived just as they were opening and had the place to ourselves for a few minutes. Despite the lack of diners, the service was slow. On the upside, everything was delicious and I would definitely visit again.

Great dinner! The views are unmatched! The food was creatively presented and prepared nicely. There is not valet parking that I could figure out, but we self parked in the garage next door.

This was our last stop on the July 4th extravaganza tour. We started out with Espresso martinis. These were exceptional. Then we had to try the oysters with caviar. The Shigoku oysters were very tasty as was the caviar. The mignonette sauce was a bit much and covered the delicate flavor of the oysters. It would of been better served on the side as opposed to a topping, leaving the oysters and the caviar to shine.

Great for taking tourists. Best is to show up as sun is setting to see ocean and city while there is still light.
This was our second time eating at Juvia. We were crammed next to each other at a tiny table. When asked to add a seat to the other side so we could face each other we were told no. The waiter was horrendous, he was not attentive to us at all. He screwed up my drink order. The seafood pasta was mediocre at best, certainly not worth $58. The chocolate dessert was so bland, we took two bites and left it there. I had such high expectations after our first time there but this was a waste of $300 and a night out.

Great views of south beach, downtown Miami and the ocean. The food missed its target though; and the rsvp is a mess. Waited for a long time before being seated.
It's obvious that you just come here for the view. Food is overpriced for the quality. Music was terrible (disco-like EDM) and very loud. Nice decor, courteous staff, and good (yet overpriced) drinks.

I dine out a lot in Miami and Miami Beach. Happy to pay top dollar at the best restaurants for a great experience. This was actual restaurant robbery. Absolutely zero special about their completely average 8oz filet to warrant the $85 cost for that entree and a $65 1/2 chicken breast-- felt like I was eating at a wedding-- really shocking for someone like me that spends a lot for restaurant experiences, especially considering Juvia isn't even considered a hot place on the social radar any more. It has become lets rip off the tourists who couldn't get a reservation in a legitimate place. Totally offensive pricing for that experience and I definitely won't ever go back. Total wast of a beautiful view because that was the only thing special at Juvia.

Our server was fantastic! We came here to celebrate our honeymoon and he showed us great hospitality and get us a complimentary passionfruit shot dessert. The food was excellent! The octopus appetizer is a MUST have.
