Tapas Restaurants near Surfside, FL

“This restaurant is doing a tremendous service to the Kosher community. They have evidently worked hard to get creative with their menu, and it really shows. Every dish is unique and well-thought out, and I appreciate restaurants where I feel like I can come back and have a different meal every time. It's great for customer retention. The experience was excellent, and our server was not only knowledgeable about the menu but was also passionate about it and loved the menu. It goes a long way. The food was incredible - so tasty, great pairings - and everything down to the dishes the food was served in was carefully curated, i.e. our salmon skillet had a section in the dish for the tortillas and for the toppings. I really appreciated different desserts than the traditional lava cake and sorbet, and we had such a great time here. I will definitely be back. Thank you for a reliable, tremendous experience. Worth every penny.“

“My dinner was cut short due to food poisoning from my prior night’s meal in Little Havana, but I had to leave a generous review because of the kindness and professionalism of the entire staff at Mareva1939. Our server took the time to explain recommendations and confirm any cheese preferences since we ordered a cheeseboard and a salad with cheese. Unfortunately, I had an accident and had to leave because I couldn’t even keep water down. I was mortified. But they made me feel human and invited me to come back when I feel better. Although my trip to Miami is over, we enjoyed the leftovers and I will return. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food, in a calm, respectful, and beautiful atmosphere. Thank you, Mareva1939, for your incredible display of humanity on Thursday night, (March 16th)! I won’t forget it.“

“Dining at La Mar was an unforgettable experience! The breathtaking city views from the restaurant took my breath away. The food was equally impressive – delicious and beautifully presented. Our waiter Yeser was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. I highly recommend La Mar to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with a view!“

“We go to Bulla almost one or twice a month and the service is always immaculate. The food is so delicious this place is a Gem and the prices are very friendly. But last night our waiter FABIAN was incredible so kind and attentive to every thing we requested. It’s always a good experience but he’s definitely the best waiter we’ve had!!!“

“This is one of those brunch spots that have been up at the top for some time and I have put off visiting it for a long time. I'm glad to finally have made the visit for brunch and I knew I was in for a great experience. From the beginning as you walk into the restaurant, the decorated entrance is a warm welcome and the rooftop seating is comfortable. I'm also a very big fan of the boxes on each table to store your phones to make sure you're enjoying the experience full 100% with your party. Love those little details!I ordered the Mexican ox tail tacos which come as two tacos - small but delicious x100! These seem to be the most popular app according to the waitress and online reviews and I have to say these are 5-star worthy! The chicken and waffles on the main course is also in the same 5-star club! Warm, juicy, generous portions and so filling! Definitely going to have to come back and try some of the other dishes out.“

“The cocktails are awesome and the vibe is pretty chill. It's definitely a great place to have a few drinks and a good conversation BUT the food isn't great.They also have a "last call for cocktails" (first time in my life I heard that) so, you end up with one hour to go before they close and you can't keep drinking what you wanted so it's a 4 out of 5 for me and I'm being generous.“

“Absolutely outstanding food!! Every single dish was delicious, bar none.One of the best meals you can have in Miami. Small intimate setting.Not cheap considering the portion sizes, but frankly in line with other fine dining places in the area and their food is much better.Even though the lady’s service can be a bit rough around the edges (likely due to language challenges), I will be back! The food is just so good I will take some sass in the process.“

“Just WOW! Will definitely be back soon! We were lucky enough to get seated early on a Thursday night without a reservation. My boyfriend said he'd come back here for their bavette steak rather than go to a steakhouse, it was THAT good! He even ate the artichoke which is a miracle! Everything was delicious. We also enjoyed the Arroz Sec, Tomato Bread, and Mahon + Chorizo. The skin contact wine Mission was funky & delicious. Service & ambiance were super pleasant“

“While visiting from California we were searching for some good Cuban food and then saw the wonderful reviews that Cubata had. We just enjoyed a delicious meal and the music, atmosphere and service was wonderful! Anna was our waitress and she was excellent! Thank you Anna for your wonderful recommendations and stellar service“

“The food: amazing! The atmosphere: cozy and warm. The service was good as well. It does seem that menu is al a carte so I would see pay attention to what you ordering and be mindful of the prices of the menu items. Overall, I would highly recommend.“

“Amazing. The cutest place ever; the decor is so pretty we took sooo many photos. The food was really good; I was surprised. I wish I ordered more. Spicy rigatoni, calamari, and mocktails were just perfect. Though it could've been a little less expensive,. I recommend it if you're grabbing a bite in the evening with a few people or a date. Our server was the best; shoutout to you, Abby! Engagement and service were really nice; she described the different foods and helped us decide what we would like. Overall, I loved the place and will be coming back.“

“I think I still prefer Barcelona Wine Bar in Boston to their Miami location but if you are in the area and want to try tapas, it’s a great place. My go to tapas are Majon cheese, patatas bravas, charcoal chicken thighs, burrata and try their basque cheesecake.“

“I had an incredible experience at this amazing place! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Not only is the price reasonable, but the quality of the coffee is also outstanding.“

“Ceviches by Divino - Peruvian Tapas & Gastrobar in Miami was a nice surprise. Despite the busy crowd, the staff found us a table, which was great.The trio of ceviche was definitely the best part of our meal. It had fresh flavors that we really enjoyed. The plantains and fried corn kernels were also good. The plantains were sweet and the corn kernels were crunchy and tasty, like a corn nut but natural and much less sodium!We decided to share our meals family-style, which worked out well. The Branzino filet was cooked nicely, the rice dish was comforting (our favorite), and the gnocchi with beef medallions was rich and flavorful.The menu was a bit intense, with so many options and flavors to choose from. But once we picked our dishes, we were happy with our choices, and left wanting to try more.Overall, our experience at Ceviches by Divino was great. The service was attentive and the food was tasty. It's the go to spot if you're looking for Peruvian food in Miami for sure!“

“Chris, our server, was awesome! Mad great recommendations, friendly, attentive. Doing a hell of a job. We'd come back just for that. We were there on Taco Tuesday and each one was fantastic. Also loved the smoked fish dip, the caviar deviled eggs. Next time we will get the whole fish“

“This restaurant was so good, it’s just slightly removed from the crowded tourist area at Espanola way so the atmosphere is great. It’s not touristy at all. The food was so good, I would recommend the paella with duck. The drinks were phenomenal, I had the cava and the white cava Sangria. 10/10 would recommend for anyone visiting Miami.“

“Omg the food super delicious, highly recommended, super pleasant atmosphere, and the food a ? real Peruvian food and its ceviche the best I've ever eatenOmg the food was super delicious, highly recommended, super nice atmosphere, and the food was ? real Peruvian food and their ceviche was the best I've ever eaten“

“As someone travelling from Montreal, Canada, the Food here is amazing! Service is lighting fast.The atmosphere is bad (and place is pricey) but food makes up for it!Took their Thai tea (very sweet and delicious!), Panang curry (sweet also and addicting), and duck salad“

“Rincon Escondido Tapas & Restaurant is a hidden gem! The Spanish-inspired tapas are bursting with flavor and authenticity. The cozy ambiance and attentive service make it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal with friends or a romantic dinner.“

“One word…Amazing. Visited 5 o’clock on Thursday and there was no one in the restaurant. For such a delicious restaurant it should be packed to the brink. I got a gyro while my friend got a gyro platter. All I can say is delicious. Never had such good Mediterranean food ever in my life. Highly suggest to everyone. At the end they gave us a Hershey kiss. The waiter was so nice she had a conversation with us. Never met such a kind and caring waiter. Highly suggest.“

“We went to the restaurant with plans to go to the pool next. But we ate then had a change of heart. Initially, we thought the restaurant and the pool were all pretty much in the same area, but it is separated. I guess we appreciated that being, we weren't really in the pool party mood after all. However, if you are in the mood for a pool party definitely the place to go. Lovely hotel, beautiful Greek aesthetics all around, the food tasted amazing, the service was great and it was just all around a great experience. Pool party area was busy, DJ was playing some great music as well. As mentioned the Pool party is separate, and a separate fee. No one seemed to know the price unless we went up to the pool entrance and asked. So, we decided to head back to the hotel, didn't want to feel any pressure haha“

“We ordered strong mojitos, which were really very good, just like in Cuba.We were there on a Thursday evening and were lucky to get a free table. The view of Miami at night is very nice. There are tables on the edge where you can enjoy the view directly and other tables not so much. The music was good and overall there was a good evening atmosphere.“

“Had the pleasure of been at Corral de la Moreira in Madrid, and in my books Cava Cantadores and Flamenco dancers are at that level!!Great experience, if you visiting Miami or are a local, you can’t miss this place, can’t wait to go back!!“

“This was my first visit and I will be back! The staff was very friendly, John was our waiter and he was amazing and smiled throughout his time with us, we had kids, and took forever to order but he was so patient. The food was good and the prices weren’t bad either. We were able to have access to the rooftop pool and the water was the perfect temperature and so inviting. We came about 2pm on Saturday and the parking area was charging $30 for up to 4 hours however Sunset Club does offer valet parking for $15, overall we enjoyed and will be returning soon this time without the kids! They have a DJ at 6 we want to go back during that time!“

“We came on a Saturday night to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday with a group of friends. The tapas were delicious! The octopus and the shrimp were particularly well prepared. They also have a fine selection of wines. The service was outstanding. What made the evening fun and enjoyable was the fine music by Cesar Rey. We all ended the evening singing and dancing!“

“This little gem of a place is not to be missed! The food is authentically Spanish and delish and the prices are EXTREMELY fair. Don’t let the outside detract you from going in. Once inside the walls are lined with amazing wines which is so reasonably priced. The place is small but worth it if your looking to have a lunch that feels like your in Spain.“

“I loved it from beginning to end. If you're a Spain fan, this is the place for you. You won't miss a bit of "La madre patria". The show is awesome, the food is great. You have to try any Paella. Loved it! Prices mid-level. Many thanks to Laura our great server!Vegetarian options: You can have vegetable paella and you're good to go...“

“love this coffee shop to study or do work. the food is so absolutely delicious, I am obsessed with the egg croissant, it's to die for. Coffee is always good the cappuccinos, le cafe inn latte, or the Nutella coffee! Ambiance is relaxed and service is always great :)“

“Visited happy wine to share some tapas and wine with family. Service was great throughout, even when calling in to let them know we would be late to our reservation and later called again to ask about parking. We were able to park in the little shopping center next to the happy wine building and they provided us with parking validation. Server was very friendly and attentive. There's a huge selection of wines to choose from and to buy to take home. It's a lovely little gem to sit down, relax, and spend time with friends or family. We shared a board, patatas bravas, and ham croquettes, to drink we had a Riesling wine.“

“A long time establishment in Miami Nestled between coconut grove and the roads on the US-1 & SW 17 Ave. Serves spanish dishes to pair with the ample wine selection displayed on the walls, selection varies by type of grape and region Service is above average Food is exceptional delicious and well presented“

“What can I say about this restaurant - the food was absolutely delicious - service was excellent - beautiful old world decor - beautiful from the outside to the inside - cannot say enough good things about this restaurant - valet parking available at a fee (which is precious in the ELH - East Little Havana area) - you gotta go to this place - you will not regret itParking: Valet parking at a fee“

“Always a great time at la cocina! Took my husband for the first time for some early evening drinks and bites and our bar tenders were absolutely lovely! We tried their croquetas and unlike your tradition croquetas, they were delicious! The ambiance, great and fun selection of cocktails, and service will always have me coming back for a chill night out. Ps. They have Salsa nights on Thursdays and I heard it get packed with salsa lovers!“

“I missed the Wednesday specials by a day but one can eat only so many of these delicious tapas sandwiches. House wine is a bit pricey but a necessary accompaniment.Vegetarian options: Lots of cheese meatless and veggie cheeseless options. There are about “100” sandwich options. Hence the name.“

“What a wonderful place. My dad’s favorite place. He has been coming here for years and I was lucky enough to be in town for his birthday this year so of course he wants to go to his favorite place. They always welcome you like family and the food cannot be beat.“

“Madrid Tapas y Vinos offers a unique dining experience with its lively flamenco show every Friday night. The ambiance is vibrant and exciting, making it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy delicious food. Speaking of food, their paella en tinta negra is a standout dish, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked rice. The seafood paella is also a hit, generously loaded with a variety of seafood that satisfies any seafood lover's cravings. The staff at Madrid Tapas y Vinos are friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. Additionally, I've had a great experience ordering catering with paellas from them--the portions are generous, and there's plenty of seafood to go around. Overall, Madrid Tapas y Vinos is a must-visit spot, especially on Friday nights for their fantastic flamenco show. Whether you're looking for a fun night out or delicious catering options“

“What a delight it was to run into this Argentine Bistro this morning. Memories of my various visits flooded in as i settled for empanadas and wanted to try their croissant to compare it my current resident country, France. Nothing disappointed. The human element was the best, to reminisce what we have in common. Argentina..Kid-friendliness: they were certainly dog friendly bringing a bowl of water for the dog“

“Great experience. Was amazed at the quality of the food. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Drinks were also delicious. The diverse menu caters to different tastes and offers an impressive fusion of flavors. The ambiance was great! The decor was fantastic! The staff was very friendly!“

“Since we stayed at the Cirka 39 Hotel we had to try the food. Not being to hungry we shared three dishes between us.We had Shrimp Ceviche, meatballs and Greek plate.All tasted really good and was a perfect amount of food for the two of us.Wish we'd had tried the wings as well but perhaps another time.“

“Great location with a parking garage across the street or a side parking lot. I came here for my birthday dinner on a Saturday night to enjoy the flamenco dancer and the Spanish food. I made reservations for three. Once you walk in they walk you to your table. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The food was very delicious and came out very quickly. Loved the live music the singer, dancer and drummer were excellent and sound amazing! Music starts at 8:30pm I believe. Totally worth going we got tapas like the mahi mahi bites (Adobo) the Octopus a la plancha, morcilla sliders, calamari, Tabla mixta, Sangria.“

“Qué pena que con una comida tan tan rica y exquisita y tan totalmente legítima… Las porciones son tan mínimas yo tuve que decir algo cuando ordené el cochinillo me trajeron una patita ni una costillitas y ni un rabito nada solamente la patita por 60 $ me pareció demasiado y si me quejé! Pero así ese lugar la comida es muy buena“

“Who know there was a full restaurant & bakery inside of a gas station? I didn’t.I stopped for gas, went inside to pay and to my surprise a full restaurant and wine bar.I didn’t eat as I was rushingHowever would love to come back for the food. Smells delicious“

“It is well located on Little Havana, and on Eighth Street, the staff is friendly and attentive, family-friendly place, they have live music, very pleasant and pleasant, clean place, we only came to have a few drinks, the mojito is very delicious and The tequila too, I would return to this place. Only one detail was that they add a tip to the bill, which should be optional, well they do that in all the restaurants in Miami, but everything else the stay was good.“

“Madisons Restaurant and Bar is the perfect place to satisfy your appetite and tickle your funny bone! The food is so delicious that I couldn't stop laughing with joy after every bite. The staff is as hilarious as they are attentive. Five stars for serving up a side of comedy with every meal!“

“What a wonderful surprise to find these authentic Spanish restaurant in the middle of Miami. We had a wonderful Sunday afternoon trying both tapas, paellas and delicious wines. The service was impeccable and the prices very reasonable for the quality!“

“I don't write reviews, and ashamed it took me this long to write one for Flight. I have lived in Miami Shores for about 3 years and this is my go-to spot always. The wines are delicious and unique, you won't find any of their wines at Publix or Total Wine. The food is always amazing, and Kim, Andy, and Mary are friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. It's the perfect neighborhood wine bar. Plus, they have wine tastings every month, so I always feel like I'm learning something about wine! Flight is the best place in Miami in my book!“

“Been here twice. The first time was great! However, the second time was COLD and they wouldn’t give us a table inside because it was “bottle service” only. There were enough empty tables. This is also a restaurant, not a club. Definitely not going back.“

“The food here is phenomenal, I literally crave the stuffed arepas from here sometimes. And great for when you want to get late night bites because this place is open to 4am and conveniently located next to Lagniappe and close to Midtown/Wynwood area. The place is decorated with fun wallpaper designs - and is counter service.“
