    Ola has been and remains my favorite restaurant since I first discovered it upon moving to Miami 14 years ago. The menu is slightly modified for low season, but the Miami Spice menu (through 9/30) still has some of the old favorites. The food and the service, par usual, were both excellent.

    We had an enjoyable dinner outside. Near a very busy street but set back so it was fine. The waiter and staff was very nice and attentive. Mixto ceviche and blue cocktail stand out as excellent!

    Unfortunately, overrated. The tuna didn't say tartare, but was definitely undercooked. The other fish was ok, but nothing special. The "special " fish, grouper, was nothing special and very expensive. I was really looking forward to this restaurant because it's close by and was highly rated, but it disappointed. Dinner for 2 was $130 with no app, alcohol or dessert.

    Very mediocre, and way overpriced for what it is. Ambiance not great, outside tables on busy Collins Ave with lots of noisy traffic. Food average to below average. Fish tacos ok, calamari/fish appetizer good. Main course disappointing. Machu fish really disappointed, below average, fish overcooked, and not that flavorful. Filet mignon average and overpriced. Chicken ok, below average. Tuna good, but below average. For over $100 per person, I would have expected much better. For $25/person, this would be ok. For what they charge, it is an insult. Go elsewhere, this place not worth it at all.

    Ola restaurant was by far the most disappointing experience out of all the other restaurants we visited this past week. The food was mediocre considering it was 58$ per plate, the fish over cooked, and the flavor not complete. The ceviches are great, the services is great, the ambience is good, the food. There are much better alternatives.

    The food was amazing and the service was great-until it wasn’t. We ordered desert and they forgot about us. No refills on water or coffee. After almost 20 minutes I waved down waiter. He said sorry and dessert would be complimentary. After 15 more minutes-and no water or coffee refills-again waved over waiter and said we wanted to leave. He didn’t apologize or even come back! He sent over bus boy with bill! We paid and left. The service at the end kind of spoiled the amazing food and great start to the meal.

    OLA has been my favorite restaurant for over a decade. I first went back in 2012 when it was connected to the Sanctuary hotel (which I do not think still exists). I fell in love with the short rib empanadas and have tried multiple dishes such as the red snapper (a special), salmon, and steak. They also have a great selection of drinks and I appreciated the mock tails for those who do not drink. Both inside and outside have lovely atmospheres. Do not skip dessert—Da bomb chocolate dessert is well—da bomb. I love sitting outside because it is right by the water. The location is great and you can walk to the Bass Museum, Lincoln Road, and beautiful hotels. The servers are attentive but not annoying. Your glass is full and your table is always clean. It is great for any night or occasion. It is not usually crowded but always has people. Reservation is recommended but the wait is usually not more than 15 minutes. I would say the price is worth it.

    We never miss OLA! when we’re in Miami, and it never disappoints…the fabulous pan de Bono that they bring around to rock shrimp, smoked fish tacos, ceviche, confit duck salad…it’s all absolutely wonderful. It’s our salvation whenever the airline strands us at MIA.

    I was very excited to eat here because it came highly recommended. My husband enjoyed the ceviche- he said it was the best he’s ever had. I found my empanadas and pork diner to be fine, but not great. The table where we were seated felt crowded. The wait staff bumped into me the entire time and no one even noticed or thought to say anything.

    One of our favorite restaurants! We’ve been coming to Ola for about 15 years now.. every time we visit Miami. From the minute you walk in and are greeted by the fabulous Albert.. to the pain de bono ( best rolls ever!). We always start with the mixto ceviche, perfect.. and then the lamb chops. The roast pork is also amazing! Can’t wait to get back next year!

    Outstanding as always. The ceviches were probably the best I’ve had anywhere; the appetizers, especially the duck salad, were delicious; and the grouper entree was amazing. The watermelon mojitos were as good as I’d remembered. All combined with warm and friendly service.

    The Miami spice menu was decent. The shrimp avocado salad was refreshing and the Panela salmon was delicious. They ran out of the one decent dessert that they had on the menu. The others did not sound or look very appetizing. I did enjoy the quiet and the brightness of the establishment. They are located across from the One Hotel.
