    We really tried to love this place due to its unique location and beautiful view, but it’s not like it was 2 years ago. Last few visits we waited for food and drinks forever. Some ordered dishes were never received. Poor service and quality of food is down each time. Looks like management doesn’t care about customers as they keep going with such service for a while.

    Great spot. Can’t go wrong with any dish - we had the pork dumplings, mushrooms, broccolini, black cod, octopus, salmon, white rice, sushi, mango sorbet, and dark chocolate matcha lava cake. Service was 10/10 with our Haitian / New Yorker server. Everyone in our group of 6 rated the food above an 8.5/10.

    Pretty view, the food was just ok, not terrible, not great either. Sushi wasn’t that great, drinks were decent . The view sells this place. If it were anywhere else I probably wouldn’t recommend.

    On this 2nd visit to Etaru, totally letdown from the first visit. And why I tend not to give raving reviews on a first visit. The food on this occasion was meh, ok, definitely have had better (perhaps off night for the kitchen?). The service was good and that's about it. The ambiance? It's outside and the beach at night, lol, pends what one has experienced I guess? And for the price we paid, more than $200 for two which included only one beer, definitely expected better. We both left still hungry. Though in the neighborhood, unfortunately doubtful will return.

    The location of the restaurant is excellent, it is phenomenal and rare for Miami, a great dessert, but that's all, unfortunately, it clearly shows how the service falls to the bottom, we were served by a waitress who was not very friendly and did not know the assortment at all, who did not understand either wine or in food, fortunately they were quickly replaced and the young man saved the situation. In short, the food is extremely banal, not tasty sushi, although the restaurant positions itself precisely as Japanese, but there is nothing from Japan here. It’s a pity that the owners of the restaurant do not advertise their place, nor service, nor quality improvement, but on the contrary, they bury their business in the grave, although they could be one of the best places in Miami.

    Nice location by the water. Valet parking $15. Our dishes came late and at different times. I was waiting on food while my partner had all of his. My side dish came after I ate my main but I was not wanting my food to get cold (it was windy outside). They kept saying it’s coming but it was delayed way more than expected.

    The food was okay, but the service and wait for our food was inexcusable. It was about 90 mins between the time we ordered and got our food. They brought me a side to have with my entree 40 mins before my salmon entree arrived. They forgot one side completely, but put it on our tab. The waiter didn't give us any updates, ask if we wanted more drinks, fill our water glasses, and didn't clear any used drink glasses from the table. He walked by our table multiple times in a very leisurely manner. My husband’s meal (octopus and broccolini) was way over cooked, and my salmon was over salted. Although the location is lovely, it didn’t make up for the horrible service, the mediocre food, and the very high prices! Don’t go!
