Spectacular. Food, ambience, live entertainment, music, all unexpectedly amazing. Very elegant atmosphere. The cabbage was hard to cut with the knife provided would have enjoyed it softer, later to not come back to table to check. Highly recommend.

Got reservation through open table and got completely turned away after booking the reservation and ubering there due to a private event. They proceeded to tell me that they didn't see any reservation and was completely unapologetic.

We went for the Sunday brunch -It's hard to find words to describe - it is a dining experience! The selection of food is unique and delicious and beautifully presented. The service is wonderful the setting is beautiful (we were outside). The portions are huge, you will not leave hungry....and the dessert table is beyond !!

Amazing service & ambience! The appetizers are always outstanding but the main dishes are subpar. (We dine for 2 so the shared entrees are not an option, they look amazing! Would love to see some of the wood fire share options for parties of 2!)

We had first a drink at le living room (I wish you had priority access when you have a dinner reservation but you don't) where it was lively. We missed the reservation and the bar staff coordinated a later one with the restaurant. Service was excellent, we sat outdoor, music was low, perfect for conversation. Food menu is various. All our food was delicious and well presented. I found the Chilean sea bass grilled with too much fat but besides that, it was perfect

Unfortunately food quality and taste went down a lot in the past few years. There are many great restaurants in Miami , definitely not coming back to Los Fuegos. Between not tasty food and parking for a 100$ not worthy.

The restaurant starts with the hostess. That is the very person who completely ruined my evening with another lady who was walking Aron's restaurant the whole evening. The only thing I asked when we came to the restaurant was to change the table to the one without blowing wind. They said just NO, though we came to the restaurant when it opens - at 6:30pm and there were only us and some other couple. They said that the outside guests should seat either at the terrace or at the last tables though there were at least 5 tables that stayed unoccupied the whole evening. If only Faena was just a little similar to Four Seasons Surfside where I am staying maybe I would choose it instead. The food was good, the waiter service was excellent but my dinner was poisoned by blowing wind to my face as I was getting freezed more and more. The greatest disappointment by the hostesses ever!!!

Food was great but main course take way too long. They offered coffee complimentary which was a nice touch. Great staff and great lunch menu. The Sancerre and empanadas to start. Octopus and burger and Alan salad were also good choices.

We were so disappointed! This dining experience was not Faena status at all! We have been here before & everything is usually top notch. The appetizers were all good, entrees were all mediocre at best. The smokiness you'd expect to taste from the fire pit was absent. Steak was overly salty, chicken was dry, cauliflower was over cooked. The service was also lacking, I asked for the bill literally 5 times & waited 45minute. Tip of 20% was included & not deserved.

We've been going to Los Fuegos many times and always had a good time. However this last experience wasn't so great. We were a table of six (diring Art Basel weekend). Our table wanted to order a few courses to share and then eventually decide what we wanted as a next course. The waiter then proceeded to go to the manager telling them that all of us weren't ordering and the manager came over to say, you can't sit at a table just to drink and not eat. My wife said, we were all eating. Manager left, then waiter came back shoved the menu back into my face while I was talking to my friends at the table and said, “my manager says you must order more food.” First of all - we ordered two of the specials off the their special Art Basel menu - a large strip sirloin, sliced with potatoes and their caviar special. Not inexpensive items and certainly reasonable for us to eat those first and then decide how much more hungry we were and what we might like to order. Two other guests at the table ordered desert and coffee and then I proceeded to order a $400 bottle of wine. service after that whole incident was bad - coffees to go with the desert never came / desert ended up melting at the table. Nobody came back to our table to check on whether our food was ok. Standard stuff. I never leave bad reviews and we normally love low fuegos but this experience was horrible, especially after the bill was nearly $900 for 6 people. It's dinners like this that unfortunately give south beach generally a very bad reputation for bad service.

It's a highly polished tourist trap at best. $26 Avocado toast was served on stale bread. I only took one bite and the waiter did not take it off the bill. $7 dollar iced tea tasted suspiciously like every other $2 iced tea I've ever had. Orange juice was fresh, but it damn well better be at $12 for a small glass. Service was attentive, but cold. Exorbitantly overpriced mediocre food. I've had had more fulfilling breakfast experiences at Bojangles.

Ordered a glass of Bordeaux and my friend ordered a Sauvignon Blanc. Her glass had about 2 ounces more wine than mine did. I asked the waitress about it, assuming she would politely say it was an oversight and just top me off. Instead she gets defensive and tells me that mine is accurate and the mistake was with my friends glass. Since she free poured the wine at the table, I asked how she could be so sure? She insists that mine is exactly right and the other is an over pour. It was about 1/4 more wine in her glass than mine and she finished the bottle when pouring mine and probably didn't feel like opening another bottle. At this point, I don't feel like arguing and canceled the wine. If they are going to offer wine for $42 per glass, they should have a measured pour. All wines poured should be equal. The perceived error is frustrating, whether she was correct or not. It just isn't some thing I feel like discussing in the middle of dinner, especially when I'm paying those prices. At the end of dinner, she explains how she removed two glasses of Sauvignon Blanc off the bill for the inconvenience. I really didn't need her to give me free wine. She could've topped me off to make the wine glasses even, and avoided the entire uncomfortable encounter. I'm shocked at the poor training! We eat out often and this was the worst service we have received in a long time.

Don't order the seabass (not good) and the brussel sprouts were bland. At least the beets appetizer was pretty to look at and delicious. The decor, ambiance and live music are the reasons to go!
