Rooting for Chef Josh Elliot and his wife Ellie is so easy to do. Their first venture together, showcases their depth of experience (Miami and Boston), their respect for ingredients and their love for a great time. My son and I stopped by for Happy Hour last night and it only made me want to go back SOON for more of the menu. The dishes are celebrations of great ingredients like Jamón Ibérico, Idiazabal cheese, Txistorras - with their own signature fun twists like the Yucca Bravas. Order the Pan con Tomate, top it with a slice of Jamón Ibérico and then ask yourself if there’s a better combination in this entire world.

My wife and I learned about QT Tapas online and wanted to give it a try. We went on a recent Saturday around 7:30pm and had no issues with parking or seating. The restaurant is located inside of a small deli/market with around 10 tables. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable with great service. It felt like a family restaurant because in many ways, it is. The food here is fantastic and some of the best we've had in Miami. As the restaurant description says, it's tapas with a Japanese touch. I think we ordered half the menu and every single dish was very well executed. The food had tons of flavor and you can tell that it was made by someone who has a passion for it. Some of the highlights of the meal included the Bluefin Tuna Crudo, Matrimonio, Yucca Bravas, Chinese Broccoli, Gambas, Yellow Endive & Shingo Pear Smoked Cheese Dip, and the Basque Cheesecake. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu at QP Tapas. I would highly recommend this restaurant and we'll certainly be back for many more meals.

The food and energy here is amazing and this is mine and my husbands new favorite gem in Miami. We had just gotten back from Spain and were missing the daily tapas we’d have - QP did not disappoint. There were some classic dishes and some with a twist. For example, the uni risotto - something so special and I would love to come back for. The yucas bravas was also amazing, though I’d recommended to Chef Josh that there should also be an option to add a fried egg on top :) Everything we ordered was truly wonderful so I don’t think you can go wrong with anything. I’m excited to see the ever evolving menu and perhaps an expansion of the drink menu to include some vermouths in the future. For those coming from the Northeast, the Chef was also the mind behind Toro in Boston. A fun fact! Though, I’ve got to say, Miami is lucky because I like QP more <3

We came for dinner without a reservation and luckily got a table for 2. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and the atmophere was quite cool. We ordered the Idiazabal Cheese, Uni Risotto, Grilled Mollejas, and the Basque Cheesecake to maridate some wine. Great options. I would comeback but acknowledging it might be pricey for some tapas.

Came after reading some stellar reviews and we weren’t disappointed. Service was friendly, but the food was the star of show here- the uni risotto is so delicious and unlike anything I’d had before (been to Spain many times) so please do yourself a favor and don’t miss it. We also had the paella mixta which was crunchy and flavorful and we truly enjoyed it. The basque cheesecake was also yummy. My only regret is that it was only 2 of us eating and that we didn’t order anything else, so I plan to return with more people so I can try some of the other dishes in the menu that I saw on tables nearby and that looked amazing like the pan con tomate, yuca bravas or steak tartar. Will come back, and I’m hoping they either find a permanent venue or that this pop-up will continue for the foreseeable future, because the food here is truly special.

If jazz had a flavor, it would taste like QP Tapas. You really have to be emotionally prepared for how diverse the flavors are in these dishes. I came with a coworker on a whim and was absolutely blown away by how amazingly good the food tasted. Like semi-dissonant jazz notes, hitting all end of the scales, the variety in flavors, textures, spices and feeling of each dish is so unique that it makes for an exquisite experience in your mouth. The chef obviously cares deeply for what he is doing and I could taste the love in the food. The staff is tremendously friendly and vigilant. We didn’t have a single server, but a host of people regularly stopping by our table to check on us. I’m visiting from out of town and don’t ordinarily eat in Coral Gables, so the rest of my experience could be skewed. Caveat emptor. The parking is on the street and I had to download an app to pay, that was a little hassle. The music in the restaurant was loud enough that I had a hard time conversing with my coworker. The restaurant is a time-share with MKT Kitchen, so when you come you may have difficulty if you’re looking for a big sign that says QP Tapas. And finally, the meal was just a bit on the expensive side. My friend and I shared a bottle of Pellegrino, we had four tapas, shared an amazing meringue for dessert and I had a delicious cappuccino. Our bill was over $120. 20% service charge was included and I felt like that was definitely worth it. While the negatives may be my own perception, and I struggled as to whether or not to give this restaurant five stars or four, I do have to say it’s a fantastic place and I would recommend it to family, friends, and coworkers.

This is the 4th time dining at QP and I highly recommend it! The garlic shrimp was really tasty and the veggie paella fed the whole table. The flavor profiles were very unique in everything that we tried. Basque cheesecake for dessert was amazzzzing!

Spectacular newly hidden gem in the heart of coconut grove. The attention to detail from the artwork, to the merch, to the plating is refreshing. It’s original and feels like your at home but very chic. Food is all wonderful. First time seeing lamb belly as an option. The texture, sauce and portion very good. Service was outstanding thanks to Landon and drew. First time dining here and they made great suggestions!

Excellent, creative tapas in a pleasant upbeat atmosphere with very friendly, enthusiastic staff. Prices are in line with Miami upscale dining. If food in Miami often seems to be a little on the salty side, you will find the same here. Perhaps ask your server from the beginning if it is possible to reduce the salt content of the food.

AMAZING everything!!!! I asked the waitress for recommendations, she said “everything”, well she was absolutely RIGHT. Every single dish was filled with flavor, simple yet elaborated. Delicious FOOD, outstanding service, great ambiance and the most inviting and lovely hospitality. Love this place!!!
