    I loved this place. Not busy at all. Loved the food, very delicious. Good seats and very clean. However, the place is small. One recommendation for the restaurant is to add live music. If you add live music more people will come in; in my opinion, because food is good and place is kinda demanding for a live music. This place is a bit pricy but very big portions. Thank you :)

    Miami Spice 2021: I had no idea this restaurant was tucked away into a small hotel on Collins ave. I came here for lunch and despite the hot summer day, sat outside because it was so pretty. It seems like you would have a beautiful sunset view if you came for dinner and requested a table by the water (i may have to revisit sometime in the future!). The food was tasty and we enjoyed everything we orderes. It is mostly latin american cuisine so we ordered the corn empanadas and the short rib empanadas and they were both delicious! They each came with their own unique sauces that added value to the dish as well. For entrees we got the skirt steak and the mahi mahi. The steak was good. The mahi mahi had good flavor, but was slightly overcooked. For dessert both the deconstructed key lime pie and the bread pudding were great, but the winner was the bread pudding. It wasnt drenched with sauce like I'm accustomed too, but it was the perfect level of moist! Flavor was great, the blueberries really added to it. 10/10!

    Let me start by saying EXCELLENT food! We had the fire & ice app, salmon, and lamb. We've never had salmon prepared like that with vanilla it was amazing! Kudos to the chef! I will say we almost left. There was hardly anyone dining which gave us a weird vibe. Then when we sat no one came back to greet us for about 6 minutes. Right when we were about to leave the waiter came. He was the only waiter and was running around the different tables and kitchen. Staff came off cold and rushed at first, but then started to lighten up as food came out. Some music and added staff and this place would easily be 5/5!

    One of my all time favorite places to get take out every time I visit South Beach! Amazingly fresh, seafood straight off the boats in the morning! Delicious variety with an expanded menu from my last visit. Can't wait to try more options! Tonight was the raw ahi tuna tacos on wheat tortillas with avocado and a side of lime chips and guacamole...beyond expectations as always. Never skimpy on their servings, my tacos were bursting with fresh fish and flavor. Highly recommend!

    With it being the off season when we went they didn’t have lobster empanadas, but the rest of the food was so good we didn’t mind. The Ola meatballs and the Mixto ceviche were especially delicious. The cocktails were amazing as well.

    Great service, I cannot stress this enough. We stayed at the connecting hotel before and after a cruise, and we had amazing service (same waiter both times). Great food and drinks - we did mojitos and sangria - and they do have gluten free options. Fun kitschy inside, and shaded patio outside. Absolutely a gem.

    My wife and I had walked by this place many times when visiting Miami Beach but had never checked it out. When our dinner plans changed at the last minute we realized we were close by and decided to check it out. It was absolutely amazing!! Great ceviche, mains and cocktails with great outdoor space. All of the staff was friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive. We’ve had many great dinners when visiting Miami Beach but this was a recent standout. We will definitely come experience it again.

    The Miami Spice Menu is so worth it! The mini lobster empanada and chicken croqueta is simply delicious!! We enjoyed the Skirt Steak and Ola Spicy Wings! As for the desserts, it was so hard to choose. We loved the Yuca Cake and Sugar Cane Pudding. Absolutely worth the trip to Miami Beach and service was quick!

    The whole experience was fine. Average I guess. Dining room lacked any warmth or ambiance. I don’t even think it was playing music, it was that forgettable….

    Beware of the waffles! I ordered breakfast here as I we were staying in The Gates hotel. I ordered the waffles and strawberries and was brought a plate with 4 frozen eggo waffles and 1 strawberry cut up in slices along the top. Not what I was hoping for especially for the price of $13 plus tips and tax. Even most cheaper hotels with free continental breakfast you can make a fresh waffle.

    Food was good. I ordered the tuna which was supposed to be served over goat cheese but I couldn't taste the cheese at all. Tuna itself was well cooked and flavorful. Service was good. The starters were probably the highlight of the meal, empanadas were excellent. Don't ask them to make an Old Fashioned.

    Visiting from houston, found this gem of a place. Beautiful scenery, amazing food and awesome staff.

  • 5/5 Caleb K. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic food and service! We stopped in while staying at the adjacent hotel, and really enjoyed our breakfast - so much so that we came back for lunch a few days later! We had the same server each time and he was fantastic! Super comfortable atmosphere! Really recommend the steak and eggs for breakfast too! There are also good gluten-free options!

    It was me and my wife's 10 year anniversary. OLA was the perfect choice. Situated in the heart of South beach, we were a bit concerned when sitting outside that it would be a bit loud with the traffic. The way ola is positioned with the hotel, it just seemed like a beautiful outdoor restaurant. The food was exceptional, and the service was outstanding. Please do not hesitate to pick this restaurant for any special occasion, as they will treat you like royalty.

    An extraordinary experience. Service was completely first class. The food was one of the best meals we have had. We are foodies and rarely gush about our experiences. This was different. Maybe a top 100 restaurants in the world kind of experience. Will fly back just to visit here again.

    Stayed at the gates hotel and stopped by for breakfast. The food was pretty good! The hot bowl (ft potatoes, feta cheese, spinach and eggs) was the star of the show. The coffee was also really nice! The atmosphere was a little off? It was very quiet and I felt awkward… but I would definitely come back!

    The staff was super sweet and caring, they accommodated my tastes and gave a great wine suggestion. Everyone actively went out of their way to answer my questions. The place was clean, relatively quiet, and remained at a cool temperature. I ordered "Da Bomb" from the Desserts menu, it was very rich in taste and all in all my order came out to just 30 dollars even though I'd had wine and dessert. Fair prices and good service.

  • 5/5 Rumana F. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything about this place is exceptional. Decor. Music. Ambiance. Staff. Food. All of it. I would go back to this restaurant in a heartbeat. It's worth the trip if you're already in the city.

    The lamb rack is amazing. We love the salmon and seafood special. Great service, wonderful experience.

  • 5/5 The Foodie A. 9 months ago on Google
    Pulpo salad is so good here. So as grill mahi mahi sandwich. Cook perfectly. Deconstructed Key lime pie come in separate with egg white and ice cream. You can mix your own proportion. Create the perfect flyovers for your own preference. Salsa music!!!! Love!

    Had the breakfast combo. Ordered over medium came out hard. Nice waiter. 10% airline discount. 18% tip added to bill. $25.74 before extra tip. Google says open at 11am. Actually serves breakfast UNTIL 1100.

    The outdoor view is amazing, the food is very delicious and unique. The service was amazing and friendly, it was my birthday and they made this in the picture and the owner came to say hi. I highly recommend going there for a date or anniversary
