Excellent food and service
Our service and food was good great. Our server Chris went above and beyond. Very professional and knew every detail of our dishes. We had him recommend our dishes and everything was on point.
Great service we loved our waiter Javaris, food is excellent only the acoustics need to be improved can not hear anyone at your table
Food is amazing and the bartenders are very easy on the eyes.
Exceptional service, food and ambiance. A must try in SoBe.
The best Miami has to offer.
Amazing! The food was great, outstanding service, overall- great place for dining!
Incredible use of ingredients!
Amazing venue and food
Excellent experience from The moment you valet your care right through getting your bill. Excellent service and delicious food. Highly recommended and will definitely return
Amazing Sommelier. Very knowledgeable. The food was impeccable. The staff was extremely friendly and professional.
Amazing Culinary Experience. Brought my wife for her birthday and she thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Very small portions, Unappetizing, distasteful food. Very overpriced.
Skip it.
Nice location for date night. Night club cabaret at the location. The food is asian fusion. Love the pork rice.
A big disappointment after having great expierneces in Pao previously. Service is outstanding, however the food quality was un acceptable.
Amazing! Very attentive, food came out appropriately quickly, and complimentary dessert to celebrate. Loved it! Favourite restaurant in Miami.
Excellent ambiance coupled with terrific service and exquisitely prepared food. Menu selection is limited but what's on the menu is all great.
It was wonderful as always! Delicious food and incredible service! It is one of our favorites in Miami!
Excellent. Highly recommend. Impeccable service, waiters calling you by your name at all times and were very friendly (unlike how they treat you at the jazz lounge). Fried chicken was delicious as well as the rice with pork belly and the dessert with the pear ice cream was nothing like I have ever had before.
La nourriture était horrible. L'hamachi de thon goutait le chlore, Il avait un minuscule oursin de mer dans le plat, juste de la sauce et maïs. Les cuisses canard ressemblaient à celle qu'on achète sous vide à l'épicerie.
C'était extrêmement cher pour la qualité de la nourriture. Il est préférable de manger au Los Fuegos si vous allez au Faena.
Service (Jed) was outstanding. And that’s after 3 weeks dining in all the best places in Miami. Jed hosted us, made the experience of dining here romantic with his story telling and guidance through out the meal. There was an explosion of flavor in every dish. Loved the short rib, unicorn, and hamachi especially.
Coursing was perfect, and he closed the meal by taking us down to the Mammoth exhibition in the back of the hotel. Truly extraordinary and we can’t wait to return.
We were really looking forward to Pao. We went for my birthday dinner - wanting to explore someplace new. It was very disappointing - two dishes were good - the bamboo rice and fried chicken. The other dishes - king crab appetizer and curried vegetables were disappointing. The cookies at the END OF THE MEAL were fabulous. There are too many other great restaurants in Miami to go back to this one
Still had to wait even after having a reservation and dishes are overpriced
Loved it!!! Food was excellent
My experience with Asian food has been pretty scant due to the fact that it tends to emphasize seafood and shellfish. I had checked out the Paos' Miami Spice menu, saw a few items I liked, and decided to check it out this past weekend. The fact that when I checked in at the hostess stand, they inquired as to any food allergies so they could be careful with my plates made them a winner. They were able to customize a delicious dinner for me without inconveniencing others. Service overall was top notch; the waiter or busser describes all of the plates and ingredients and checked regularly on me.
Their Miami Spice menu, price (very) fairly proportionate portions for their regular menu, started with the fried chicken was the essence of spice with their sweet chili, jalapeno and banana ketchup. That last seasoning intrigued me at first; my waitress informed me that it's made from mashed banana, sugar, vinegar, and jalapeno. Next up was the sisig (basically Filipino style fried rice.) These fond culinary memories of my San Fran trip was a not-overly-greasy garlic rice, Chili for moar spice, black vinegar, pork belly and a fried egg.
In addition to the complementary green matcha cookie, my sweet closing was their Buttermilk panna cotta with (real) Green Apple -Cru, Fennel Seed Crumble, and a pear apple sorbet. I nursed my meal with (more than one) of their Horned God drink, a deliciously potent rum punch with Bacardi 8, Hamilton 151, Maraschino liqueur and a burning lime.
Enjoy the art in the lobby outside, or take a stroll by the beach behind the hotel to check out the golden woolly mammoth sculpture!

Food was amazing and service was excellent!
We really enjoyed dining at Pao. It was a culinary adventure with many interesting and new flavors. Every plate was amazing! The cocktails were really delicious as well.
Thank you, had a great birthday! Thank you, had a great birthday!
Went here for Miami Spice and loved it! Will def be back!!
The restaurant itself is beautiful and the drinks were great (get the Faena Spritz). The food was underwhelming though. Didn't like most of the dishes from their Spice Menu. The fried chicken and crudo were really good, other than that, the rest of the dishes were sort of blah. Expected more, to be honest.
Great, attentive service and tasty meal. Good options on Miami Spice menu, albeit smaller sized.
We were so excited about sea urchin/unicorn dish - no sea urchins just creamy corn ...very disappointed 😞
Presentation on every dish was excellent
Dessert was Delicious 😋
Adobo fried rice was very tasty...everyone of us like it
Cocktails drinks🍷 🍹🍸 Were extremely expensive and not that great taste👎🏻
Vermentino GREAT wine👏🏻
My friend and I had dinner and the atmosphere was amazing along with the interior design. We had the Myth cocktail which was great and the Miami Spice Menu, with the vegtables dish.
Everything was tasty and the dessert was amazing. Our server Chris was friendly as everyone in the staff. After the dinner I would recommend the living room for some live music.
Great restaurant, amazing ambience, great service, we will definitely visit again!!!!!
Everything was absolutely amazing. The service, food, chef, ambiance was exceptional...and I don’t even use the word exceptional often.
Beautiful restaurant with a beautiful view.
First time here and it was great. Service was spot on and friendly. The menu is limited so check it out before you go, but the food is excellent. I will be returning.
Loved the place. Miami Spice Menu a little small portions
The Myth drink is delicious, the cup/container too heavy but beautiful
The place is very loud, I could not hear my partner
We ordered from the Miami Spice menu and had one of the best meals of our life! The incredibly creative food, the impecable service, and romantic atmosphere made this a date night to remember. The food highlights were probably the sea urchin and the wagyu beef dishes. Our knowledgeable, passionate server Javaris and the rest of the staff made this a meal to remember!!
