We had dinner at NKB 1-20-23; service needs improving as does the food. I ordered the half chicken which was in fact, cooked fairly well but other than the taste of poultry, it lacked any seasoning. Really overall meh. My companion's breaded fried chicken dinner was really poor. I've had better food at a fast food establishment.

We visited Nativo on the night before a Caribbean cruise. We expected a quiet, upscale dinner. The Sauvignon Blanc wine had been retrieved uncorked from the back of the fridge maybe? The flavor was off. The waitress said the chicken aioli was thin and breaded, and that was true. But the edges were so overcooked that when I cut them, they flew off the plate. The flavor of the chicken was that of fried flour. The aioli sauce was so mild that the flavor was hard to detect. Even the side salad tasted like nothing outside of vinegar. My partner had similar issues with his roasted chicken on a brick. The flavor was very subtle. The only save was the "ancient mustard." We put it on everything, from the chicken to the salad. The waitress said the restaurant is going through changes, but right now, I would not recommend this restaurant unless you like flavorless food. The waitress was very understanding and comped our entire dinner.

Il ne suffit pas de mettre des beaux produits dans l'assiette pour que ce soit bon. Une bisque de homard visqueuse et acidulée à la couleur grise n'a de bisque que le nom, dommage car les morceaux de homard étaient biens. Deux crevettes et deux coquilles saint jacques de qualité, recouvertes par un amas de riz plus ou moins coloré au gout indéfinissable et pas très bon, ne suffisent pas à faire un plat. Même chose avec un magret de canard qui baigne dans une sauce marron franchement pas bonne. Une boule de sorbet recouverte de prosecco qui n'ajoute rien,...Il faut revenir à des choses simples au profit du gout. Service sympathique. Addition sans rapport avec le repas, mais avec la vue. Il est temps de remplacer le chef des cuisines.

Underwhelming. Had high expectations based on location and reviews, but was disappointed. We had dinner reservations for 6:30 and the place was empty, so we figured it was probably too early for the Brickell crowd. Turns out the entire night was just our group, a lone hotel diner, a couple at the bar, and one other couple dining. The service was slow. No one attentive to refills or whether we wanted more cocktails. We could've spent a lot more but the waitress wasn't ever around. The presentation was lackluster. Think white plate and protein without any effort to make it look appealing. We ordered the octopus appetizer and it was nothing more than a sliver inside a breaded ball. The bang bang shrimp was ok (but even retail chains like Bonefish make it better, so that should tell you something) I had the paillard accompanied by potatoes. The potatoes had NO FLAVOR and I would have salted them had salt been on the table...but no... I was grateful for the aioli that came with it because it was the only thing that made it taste like anything. The branzino had this really strong tasting topping so people in my party ended up having to scrape most off (really overpowering). We still decided to go for the dessert - crème brûlée is "the chefs take" on it, which is more like a tasteless mousse. Then there was a cheesecake which was average. Five people ate and we spent $400 - Way too overpriced for food that was sub par. Too many great places in Brickell before you try this. The stars are for view and decor. Everything else goes without stars.

Great place on a Friday night to have drinks and an appetizer. Friday DJ played great mixes. The views of the water are spectacular.

Had a business breakfast today at the restaurant and service was unreal. Coffee was cold, asked for a latte and we where given a cold coffee and individual creamers to add to the coffee when we called the waiter he rolled his eyes back and you can tell he was not happy about it. Will definitely not come back and will not recommend this venue to anyone.

Rekey is a great bartender!! We were three for lunch. Chef did not follow instructions for "rare". (Not Bartenders fault). However the drinks were fantastic and the place is very good. Try the bang bang shrimp. Probably the best appetizer in the menu. Overall not a bad spot. I'd definitely give it a second visit. !!
Hidden Gem. Got there early at 6pm with intentions to take advantage of happy hour & the spectacular view from the, outside balcony. The bar was well stocked & tenders were knowledgeable. We ordered 2 appetizers & awaited another couple. We particularity enjoyed the Truffle Waffle fries. Both appetizers & entrees were prepared quickly & well, both having great flavor & a substantial quantity. I will definitely be back in the near future .

We had a great time. It was really surprising to us that we were almost the only customers there. Everything was lovely. One big miss was that one meal was held up for about 15 later than the other 5. It was awkward and we had no idea how that could or should happen when we were the only ones there with a huge staff. But, the place was beautiful and great for Easter with all the kids.

Hidden Gem, spectacular view & fast pleasant service. After taking advantage of the happy hour specials & well stocked bar, we decided to dine alfresco on the balcony of the 25th floor in AKA hotel where Nativo is located. We thoroughly enjoyed the spectacular view at dusk of Fisher Island, Port of Miami & Key Biscayne . The menu is perfect, just enough choice to make it interesting , yet few enough to know that the chef is well experienced in preparation of every dish; this certainly was evident in the flavor, temperature & consistency of everything we tried. I was also pleasantly surprised with the ample portion sizes. I'll definitely be back.

We arrived late at the hotel so are in the restaurant for convenience but BIG mistake. We ordered beef empanaditas to start and got spinach which weren’t even on the menu. Two of us had the chicken paillard which was tough and overly sour and my husband’s burger was cold. Service was fine but this place was a real let down for the money sadly
