    We were a party of 6. When we arrived the hostess said that our reservation was for 2 hours only. I thought that was weird. But 1:20 minutes the hostess comes back and said that we had to leave because they had people waiting to seat on our table. I would have understood if the restaurant was full but was empty. Only 5 tables were occupied. The hostess told us we didn’t have 2 hours anymore. Even after we complained that the restaurant was empty they still didn’t care. The worse was that nobody was waiting to be seated. What a way to spoiled a nice dinner. Why treat your customers like that when it was dis necessary. They lost 6 customers.

    Came back on a regular night for dinner and this restaurant is great! Everything we have ordered is so tasty and the live music brings a great vibe to tha place. After the live band played, they had a pianist play for a bit with a cameo with a couple of the servers. The servers were awesome and sang gloria gaynor and frank Sinatra. It was great. I would highly recommend this place for both locals and out of towners. Miami Spice 2017: The food is so tasty and full of flavor! We came for miami spice lunch and the menu did not disappoint. I highly recommend everything I ate!: Appetizer - tostones with cilantro aioli Entree - swordfish which comes with this juicy quinoa salad Dessert - arroz con mango - a very nice twist on the traditional rice pudding Drinks - i forgot the name but the Mojito that comes with a splash of sparkling wine 👌 Service was okay. The decor is not my partucular cup of tea but it was spacious and clean. The pianist played beautifully and was a perfect addition to a perfect lunch!

    Mixed experience. Lechon flat bread was absolutely amazing! The bacon wrapped plantains- delicious! The entree's are beautiful. Music - just perfect Cuban band playing Saturday night. However, the service was mediocre. Our waiter was very pleasant but also forgetful and slow. Drinks came w the entree. Oh... And our cucumber mules were made w grossly bad cucumbers. I'm glad we went... But I'd only ever return for the music.

    Excellent and fun experience! Food was amazing. We had the bacon wrapped maduros, cuban style churrasco, mixed seafood platter, tres leches and natilla. Every dish was very flavorful! There was a love band and they were very talented. Service was good and the ambiance is fun. We will definitely come back!

    The food was very good. We shared a bunch of appetizers. However the cocktails were undrinkable. It was either extremely sour or some were extremely sweet. No balance at all. We told our server and they said it was a new bartender behind the bar. Still unacceptable! The staff should be fully trained before working with customers. They offered us another round but I don’t think it would have been better than the first. Would come back for the food but not drinks! Also enjoyed the TVs with the music videos! That was fun!

    We were so excited & looking forward to visiting Gloria's newest spot. The venue is beautiful, the decor is similar to Larios on Ocean Dr, blue and white tiles. Live music by piano & the bartender on vocals, that was very nice. The food was as expected, homey, delicious, and hearty. They served the best tres leches I've ever had.The big negative - service. Our waitress spoke barely above a whisper level, I had to ask her "what?" multiple times, yet she never raised her voice to a normal volume. After our order was taken she was no where to be found, we had to waive her down for refills, a desert menu, and the check. You'd think after looking for her one time she would be more attentive, but no. The check indicates 18/20/22 suggested tip - none are warranted until the service improves.

    Although the organization could have been better, as our courses came out of order, and there wasn’t enough cheesecake to fulfill our tables order, the food was delicious! The New Years band was terrific, and drinking and dancing between courses was a blast! We arrived 3 hours before the new year and hung out for over five hours. (Thank goodness for ridesharing apps) Happy New Year!

    Upscale ambience. Great servers. And, awesome appetizers! Had visited only for light snacks, so we didn't get the chance to try out the entrees. However, we had the tuna tartare the chicken croquetas, both of which were too good! Must visit!

    There's Cuban fare in Miami, but until you try any of the items in the menu at Estefan Kitchen you haven't really tried the excellence of the modern Cuban cuisine that still follows the rich flavor of its most traditional recipes like Ropa Vieja, Pulled Pork, and others. One of the food I reccomend is "Chino Cubano," a dish I learned is a recipe created by Emilio Estefan himself. It is a very interesting combination of a Chinese fried rice with infusion of Cuban delish like maduros. I also tried their pulled pork and I honestly tell you it was the best I ever had. It was served on a bed of boiled yucca with Mojito cubano (a typical marinade made with garlic, oil, and lemon) Of course, you can't finish a Cuban meal without trying the most delicious dessert in the world: a Cuban flan.

    Very beautiful location, never been to design district. Food could have been better but was still good. Live music

    The food in small businesses is better than here it is horrible then expensive and to top it off when paying they will charge us extra piña coladas without finishing with the waitress charging what she wanted as a tip 🤬🤢

    Amazing atmosphere, great food and drinks. A bit pricey but some dishes are good to share 😉 The service was very good. Can't wait to go back 🤗

    This place was so fun! Everyone loved it, including my 7 yo. The food was out of control good. The table ordered a bunch of apps to share. The ham croquettes (croquetas de jamón) were some of the best I've had in Miami. All of our entrees were amazing. The atmosphere was fun and lively and fun. With live music at night, it was like a party. Which was good, because we were there for a birthday.
