   This was my birthday dinner and it was an experience that I am disappointed in. Food was excellent but service was nothing short of horrible and chaotic, which makes the experience extremely disappointing. From first being basically reprimanded by the server for not knowing my guest had a dairy allergy. Then making it seem like it would be very difficult to accommodate her. How can you not accommodate 1 guest of a dairy allergy at a Michelin restaurant? Then halfway through our meal they serve my guest a dairy soup with chocolate present it to her, then proceeds to tell her she can’t eat it. extremely embarrassing. Why serve a guest dairy soup and say don’t touch it? That’s so rude. Manager never came to our table once in the 4 hours we sat there. I didn’t choose my dining experience either , they chose “the experience” menu automatically for me, that was fine, I guess. The wine pairing I did choose, but would have been nice to be told that would be an extra $250 pp add on, the server we could not hear him the entire time, which it’s not even a loud place. He spoke very quickly had a heavy accent and made it impossible to know what we were eating. The wine pairing was a delicious experience and the food was excellent. Didn’t care for the salads, lamb was a little dry. Lobster roll was extremely over salted. Cornbread caviar delicious. I did expect better from the other dishes. after dessert, our server brings the liqueur cart and suggests as option that’s great for digestion after dinner, We told him we do not like dark, we like tequila we asked what was the best he suggest the casa azul anejo, said ok we will have it. it was a dark tequila (we had no idea) why would the waiter serve and suggest us this after we were drinking white all night??.. he also spilt my anejo shot all over the table while serving!! Failed to tell us $425 per shot?! 850$ for 2 shots. How is this possible? Suggests a tequila we hate, did not drink, & tells us no we can’t return??

   Restaurant charges people who can’t join a party because of COVID. They should incentivizing COVID positive people to stay home instead of coming into their restaurant Music started blasting when we got there and then a fire alarm went off. Bathrooms were freezing as well.

   Well, I have to say that El Cielo Restaurant Miami was another excellent experience. Staff members professionals and courteous, food fabulous and exquisite. I will recommend any of the El Cielo Restaurants in DC and Miami, as well as the one in Bogota and Medellin, Colombia. Juan Manuel and his crews make a unique experience about how Colombian modern style is. Special thanks to Executive chef and “Juan Manuel’s Right Hand” Sorry that I forgot his name, but very charming and humble guy, and represents very well, El Cielo concept and the Colombian modern cuisine. Muchas gracias a todos.

   My husband and I love tasting menus. We just went to the French Laundry and Single Thread 2 weeks ago. This place can rank with the best ones! Great place to eat! What a great restaurant in Miami! The experience is truly that, a great experience. Highly recommend!

    They call it an experience - and that’s EXACTLY what it was. Very course was unique, and truly memorable. Not an everyday kinda meal (not for most of us, anyways) but for a treat or a special occassion, definitely.

    This eccentric, dramatic and eclectic gastronomique experience took us on a journey through Colombia, the restaurant was well worthy of 2 michelin stars in my opinion and not just one. I have been to many one michelin stars in the country and this was one of the few that was truly experiential within the one star category. Our maitre d was knowledgeable and the service as expected in a Michelin star was flawless. Truly an incredible and special occasion experience. Yes this will be north or $600 for two people so be prepared to shell that out but this is what true fine dining culinary life experiences are worth.

    The whole experience was very disappointing : average food and service, exceedingly pretentious and expensive for what you get and very far from what good Colombian cuisine could be. In a nutshell, bad value for money.

    Overall nice experience. Food was good and service attentive. The restaurant is small and intimate. In the end, the experience (20 course tasting menu) took us 3.5 hours which just felt too much. With this many courses (which naturally tend to be small, which is fine) waiting times of up to 5-10 mins between the dishes really add up. Many dishes were great but some were “merely good”; we left feeling that it would’ve been nicer to have say 10-12 dishes that were “all killer, no filler”. Also, I get that a restaurant like this won’t be cheap but still felt that the wine & sparkling wine pricing was excessive. I’ve been to 2* and 3* Michelin stars restaurants that had more reasonable drinks pricing. I do like wine but $50+ for a glass is just unjustifiable (granted, there was a wine pairing option but again at the price of just shy of $200 I opted for water this time).

    Wow! Our group was blown away by the absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we walked through the door the memorable experience began. We learned culture, food, spice, pairings, history, and a host of other features where we can’t stop talking about our time at El Cielo. I highly recommend for anyone with an open mind, looking for a food experience that is sure to become a conversation piece.

    Excelente comida y servicio, toda una experiencia muy recomendable. Único punto malo fue el pato, que estaba poco hecho y era muy difícil de comer, por lo demás fue una lista enorme de platos a cada cual más rico, incluyendo sorpresas solo para la experiencia, como lavarse las manos en chocolate o la fuente de vapor. Mi enhorabuena a todo el equipo

    I totally agree on the Michelin star that was awarded to this restaurant. Great service, knowledgeable staff, and good food. I won’t go back because this was it he most expensive meal that we have ever had. We had the degustación menu, a bottle of wine and a round of drinks for 4 people and the bill was over $1500. This is insane to me. We are used to eating in Miami and all over the world in other Michelin star restaurants but this was just too much for the price.

    The experience was ok, needless to say that the portions were very small and the transition between courses was extremely slow 🐌, it took almost 3 hours to finish. They charge for water and also they included the tip on the bill for a party of four people. I won't go back.

    Birthday lunch. Creative food. Great experience, be ready to sit for 3 hours though. Oddly, the server repeatedly poured my girlfriend less wine than me on every pour!! We had to ask to have a little more three times. That was super frustrating. The wine pairing was not well matched with the food. The lobster roll was excellent, but most of the other flavors were muted. My advice for the restaurant: add a little more focus on flavor, be a little less stuffy (more personable), and WATCH YOUR POURS!

    Quite expensive but was an experience that we will treasure. We had a 12 o’clock reservation which ended up be ideal because we were the only people in the restaurant and so it felt exclusive and private until people started showing up 1 hour later. The staff and service was impeccable. A must try if your looking for a unique and unforgettable experience.
