   One of the few places in Miami where is a decent service and appropriate music for particular place! Many thanks to all the waiters for their work and respectful attitude and behavior. The interior is very suitable for the location and the outdoor terrace is very comfortable and cozy.

   Beautiful view and ambiance. The food was very good. We tried the family style dinner for 4 they offer and found the portions were not appropriate for the price. I would not recommend. Next time we would try individual selections.

   Wonderful food - prepared and presented in a beautiful way - along with our terrific representative, Susana (spelling?) and relaxed atmosphere made our family brunch a memorable experience. Thanks again Amara (and Michael) for your consistently great food experiences!

   The setting, food and service was immaculate. My meal was just spicy and I’m not a fan of that. If I realized sooner I would’ve asked to have it removed. But in all, delicious!

    I went there on Saturday, the venue is beautiful and there was a proposal outside which was wonderful !! The food tasted great but afterwards all of us felt terrible and two of us where way sicker than others. We think it might have been the spicy chorizo appetizer . I sent a email to the restaurant but no one responded which was disappointing .

    Holy Cannoli!!! What a view, what a restaurant. Saw this place featured on a YouTube video and knew we had to come by. Mac was an excellent server, waterfront view was to die for. Can’t wait to come back for dinner. I admittedly don’t remember how the food was but that’s probably a good thing. Extensive mock tail list too, which I found to be fabulous.

    Amara at Paraiso served a wonderful lunch on a lovely, ocean-front patio on a recent Friday. We noticed that the restaurant interior is beautiful, with trendy, airy decor. My reservation was ready for us on time, which we appreciated. Food and service were exceptionally great. We were celebrating our daughter's medical residency Match Day. The waiter provided stellar service, cheerfully refilling water frequently & recommending dishes when we asked. Our daughter ordered a ceviche. My husband ordered the featured lunch, which included an excellent, flavorful salad and his entree choice of delicious grilled cobia entree, followed by a choice of dessert. The waiter recommended the moist, delicious olive oil cake, which came with whole pistachios, yummy cream, and fresh sliced strawberries. I ordered a salad with mixed greens, different colored cherry tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, sliced avocado, corn. I ordered grilled yellowtail snapper for additional protein. The salad and fish were superb. We had an excellent lunch with shade of an umbrella and faced the turquoise ocean. Kudos to our male waiter for superior service.

    We enjoyed a fantastic unfussy fine dining lunch with our parents while they’re vacationing in Florida. We enjoyed the excellent service and ambiance. Aside from briefly negotiating a better seat everything was perfect.

    First time there. Celebrating our wedding anniversary. Definitely a beautiful location. I splurged on the $45 pp premium to guarantee a waterside table. The premium does include a glass of Veuve Clicquot champagne. There are plenty of tables outdoor where yo don't have to pay the premium for them. You're likely to get an outdoor seat during off season and off times so it's not a must to pay. The food is very good. For first timers like us, I recommend getting the Taste of Amara. You share 2 appetizers (Yuca Puffs + Fish Dip), a Salad, your choice of either a Meat or Seafood parrillada and a dessert (Dulce de Leche Flan). We went with the meat parrillada. Portions are generous and it's a good value for a 4-course meal literally. The Yuca Puffs were a bit too greasy and starchy. The dip with the fried plantains was superb. We got an extra Grilled Octopus app, which I recommend. The meat parrillada was large enough that we had to take home. The flan was good. Has a hint of coconut that blends well w the Dulce de Leche. Very nice experience and eating with a view of Biscayne Bay is why we called our city the Magic City.

    30 yr anniversary dinner and couldn’t be happier after going to Amara. The staff from the GM to the server were just wonderful- caring, happy and joyous in their tasks. Food was very good- whole snapper delish and perfectly prepared ; tuna carpaccio appetizer was great. Waterfront table graciously offered by the general manager made it an exquisite evening. Thank you Bek (waiter), Nuno(asst GM) for your candor, champagne and dessert, and of course the lovely GM at the front. You’re a gem. Thanks again and we’ll be back.

    I am pretty much "regular in this place; however. yesterday was the first samba brunch they launched and I was expecting a better show and music. The samba music and the sound was not good, and the show had could be much better. Food was delicious and services was good.

    Haley our hostess left us for over an hour without water desert or clearing our table We were completely ignored over most of the 3 hour dinner. Could have been an expensive dinner if we would have been served. And a “fresh” stone crab tasted terrible. Never had one so bad. Ever!

    I loved the restaurant service and food was excellent. The only thing I can say that I DID NOT like was I had to pay for a water front table that was not worth the $90 plus dollars. There was a table not even 5 feet from mine they had water front and didn’t pay the $90 Plus dollars. If you’re gonna charge that kind of money, give me something else besides a champagne glass, to be honest it was awful. Never again.

    We were on time for our reservation, but they made us wait over 15 minutes at the bar. There were open tables, so it seemed like it was a ploy to get us to spend additional money at the bar. It was a bad way to start the evening.
