Just delicious! We love every plate! The blue fish tuna tiradito, classic ceviche and the tortitas were just perfect! Highly recommend 🫰🏻

Our dinner at Maty’s during their collaboration with Itamae Residency was a truly memorable experience—one that hit all the right notes, from inventive cocktails to unforgettable service and beautifully executed dishes.
We began with cocktails that immediately set the tone. My husband had the Master Pandan—a creative mix of rum and toasted popcorn that was as delicious as it was unique. I went for a spicy margarita with nordello peppers and absolutely loved it. Just the right balance of heat and citrusy brightness.
To start, we shared nigiris and a ceviche clásico, both incredibly fresh and vibrant. We then moved on to a variety of recommended dishes that made for a well-rounded and exciting meal. The standout for me was the Pulpo al Olivo—perfectly cooked octopus with a rich, addictive sauce that I’m still dreaming about. Other favorites included the bluefin tuna tiradito, a refreshing salad with sesame dressing, and a crisp, flavorful snapper katsu.
Though we were comfortably full, we wanted the full experience—and ended with the smoked plantain and sweet potato dessert. We rarely order dessert, but this was absolutely worth it. A beautiful balance of sweet, smoky, and creamy that ended the meal on a high note.
But what truly set this experience apart was the service. Our waitress, Nai, was incredibly well-trained, attentive, and genuinely engaged throughout our visit. Every staff member who delivered a dish made a point to connect with us—even if briefly—and it made the entire evening feel warm and intentional.
Both my husband and I work in restaurants ourselves, so we always appreciate good service when we see it—and this was above and beyond. Combined with stunning food and a welcoming vibe, Maty’s and Itamae Residency delivered a night we won’t forget.
Highly, highly recommended.

I had a fantastic time at Maty’s, where the Itamae Residency is taking place this summer. The cozy ambiance made it the perfect spot to enjoy some solo time at a corner hightop booth.
I was on my way elsewhere when I passed by and was greeted by Liz, I felt compelled to stay and dine here. A quick glance at the menu outside also sealed the deal forsure. Highlights for me were the hotate (scallop) nigiris, royale cebiche, and lobster roll, each dish packed with flavor and beautifully prepared.
Natalie and David were wonderful bartenders, and chatting with Laz about the restaurant’s story & our experiences in the industry added something really special to the night. I love how each staff member really took their time to make sure I had a great time. For dessert I asked the team to surprise me, and they chose the mille-feuille with chancaca ice cream, a nice twist on the French pastry, created by James Beard Award-winning Chef Valerie Chang. It was the perfect ending. Every part of the experience felt personal and thoughtfully done. Next stop, AO for omakase

Mediocre food presented as fine dining. Atmosphere is horrible, it’s really cold and the music selection is bad. Feels like a food hall. Prices are WAY too high. You can skip this restaurant, there’s way better options for less money close by.

Overpriced and frankly not so tasty. Also quite possibly the noisiest restaurant I have ever been to
The overly bright space pounds with modern hip hop amplified with a subwoofer that makes the plates shake with bass. How anyone can dine with such a pounding is beyond me. We left after a drink.
Top quality, taste, service and unique ambiance. Ines was exceptional and very professional. One of Miami’s opportunities in restaurants is service and this place is top on it! Ceviches are exceptional! Fish was top quality. Shrimp’s sauce was very unique. Must come!

Every single dish was delicious! Oxtails were one of the best I’ve ever had.
This is a gourmet Peruvian restaurant with limited selection on the menu, and it is more of tapas style, so small plates. If you are hungry then the price may go up quite a bit since would have to order many plates but if you are in the area and want to try different flavors, created by a James Beard awarded chef then it is fine. The ceviche clásico was delicious and bursting in flavor and the best one i liked. The cuttlefish was second in taste for me. The half chicken was a bit salty for my taste. I have a shrimp allergy, so the waitress Nia was incredible in making sure I didn't eat any of the foods with possible contamination. That day unfortunately many of the foods was cross contaminated so I couldn't try some plates but I was very appreciative that she really went out her way to make sure I stayed away from plates I shouldn't eat. I tried the fresas dessert but it was too liquidy for me like soup.
Had an amazing time at Maty's, great music and food. Loved the ceviche, chicken, broccolini, and the mussels (on their happy hour menu) were out of this world. The attention to detail is there, beautiful venue. Their menu does change from time to time which I am a fan of, a lot of restaurants are doing this these days and its a great way to keep it spicy, exciting and fun.
Nice option for dinner in midtown!
Interesting flavors and beautiful presentation, definitely a restaurant worth visiting at least once. I got scallop as an appetizer and teres major (steak) as my main, but still was a bit hungry. Luckily, the delicious donuts (Picarones) were very satisfying as a desert. That was probably my favorite dish on the entire menu. The service was excellent. Menu is updated quite frequently, so can always come back for new dishes.
We came due to the hype but the menu that they had available during this visit was not the best.
We had the half chicken and the pork chops along with the arepas and corn side and we were not impressed with the chicken and pork chops.
The chicken was okay nothing out of the ordinary and the pork chops was super salty and acidic.
The arepas, were extremely salty.
The corn side was my favorite though.
Staff was very attentive and friendly and ambience was nice.
