I’ve been to a lot of Michelin star restaurants in Miami, and Palma blew some of them out of the water. Definitely one of my top five spots for dinner in Miami. The tasting menu was off the charts. The food was spectacular. Bravo!

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of trying the tasting menu here, and it was one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Palma is a truly special place. Along with Ariette, it stands out as one of the two best restaurants in Miami.
The food is outstanding. Creative, deeply flavorful, and beautifully presented. The menu changes monthly, which makes every visit feel fresh and worth repeating. There’s not much else to say other than bravo.
A very special mention goes to the sommelier. I didn’t catch his name, but his talent is undeniable. If the food was among the best we’ve had, the wine pairing was easily the best we’ve ever experienced. I typically avoid funky, skin-contact, or natural wines, but this pairing completely changed my perspective. Each wine was not only delicious but genuinely interesting and full of character, and every pairing felt thoughtful and precise. These are wines I would happily add to a home cellar. Truly incredible.
The value is also remarkable. We paid around $200 per person including the wine pairing, which feels like a steal. If this restaurant were in Brickell or Miami Beach, the price would likely be double or triple. Even then, it would still be worth it.
We can’t wait to return to Palma to explore their à la carte offerings.

Disappointing Experience Despite Michelin Recognition
We chose Palma based on its Michelin Guide mention and strong Google ratings, but left feeling underwhelmed.
The restaurant primarily pushes their set menu. Food quality was inconsistent—about half the dishes were bland and less creative than expected given the reputation. Presentation was acceptable but nothing memorable.
Our main issue was the rushed service. Despite the restaurant being busy, we never felt we could relax and actually enjoy our meal. Each course felt hurried, which significantly detracted from what should have been a special dining experience.
The wine selection by the glass was limited—only 2 red options available, which was surprising for this caliber of restaurant.
Adding insult to injury, a 20% service charge was automatically included on the bill despite the subpar service. When service is mandatory-gratuity level, it should be exceptional—not rushed and inattentive.
For the price point and reputation, we expected far better. There are many excellent dining options in Miami that offer superior food, service, and value

Wow! This restaurant is amazing. Serious, complex and imaginative dishes. If your sense of taste is well honed, you must go here. Has to be one of the 5 or ten best restaurants in Miami. No glitz, no BS, just amazing food.

Amazing creative food. My wife wants to go back every month for the new menu. A perfect date night spot.
Also, this is basically a tasting menu restaurant. The wines we tried were super interesting and amazing. Next time we will get the wine pairing.

Palma delivers a tasting-menu experience built around clean flavors, thoughtful pacing, and a calm sense of confidence in the kitchen. Each course feels intentional—never overworked—with dishes that highlight fresh seasonal ingredients and precise technique. The progression moves smoothly from lighter, aromatic starters into richer, more indulgent plates, all tied together with balanced textures and a clear point of view. Service is warm and attentive without being intrusive, and the wine pairings are curated to elevate the meal rather than overshadow it. Overall, Palma offers a refined, modern tasting journey that feels both polished and genuinely welcoming
Really enjoyed our visit at Palma!

We were in town for just the night and decided to give Palma a try and what a great choice! We did the tasting menu and wine pairing. I don't drink much so the somm offered a partial tasting which was such a thoughtful recommendation and just a great indication of that it's an establishment that cares about customer service. Wine pairings was leaning more towards natural and skin contact wines which I personally enjoy but if you don't like that, I suggest you mention it to the somm prior to ordering and I'm sure he'd be more than happy to accommodate. The food was delicious and balanced (aside from one of the first amuse-bouche that was unexpectedly tough to chew through). There were 9 courses and we left feeling quite full. Service was fantastic and they left us with a few surprises. Would definitely recommend to go check this place out.
