    Wow!! This place blew our expectations. My picky husband and I both tried the tasting menu. We are still discussing each dish hours after leaving the restaurant. The seasoning and spice on each plate is a burst of flavor. Service was the best. Truly a romantic foodie dinner spot. We will most definitely be returning.

    Morla was incredible. Simple put - the food was outstanding quality, every bite took us to South America and they used the freshest ingredients and highest quality of food and it showed. The service was impeccable: the chef came out and chatted with us - the story behind the concept made it that much more enjoyable. 10 stars - this place should not be missed!!!

    This was an amazing experience. We both ordered the experience menu option and it was simply fantastic in presentation and taste. You get a tapa sized sample of their whole menu. Each bite was an explosion of flavors. The wine options are excellent and the cocktails were unique and delicious. The servers were kind and you could see the care and excitement about the food and the whole experience. The restaurant is beautiful, cozy, and plays great dinner music! Highly recommend!!

    We had an amazing experience at this restaurant. Right when you walk in the ambience is impressive and the server and chef were impeccable. All the dishes that came out we’re very delicious and savory. Enjoyed fusion of ingredients and our drinks were on point. Plates were a lil small for price and some tough for sharing. Definitely great place for a great night! Will visit again.

    Hidden gem, Morla is an amazing experience. It has beautiful decor and different rooms which all have a great ambiance. I’ve lived in Miami for about 1.5 years and Morla is easily one of the highest quality restaurants from freshness of fish, creativity of dishes and pure flavor. We had the 10 course experience which is some of the best seafood in Miami. They even substituted the steak dish for another impromptu seafood plate. The chef is excellent and the mix of Mexican and Peruvian flavors work extremely well together. I’ll definitely be back,
