- SStevenVIPNew York City •22 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAmara at Paraiso offers a stunning dining experience that blends modern elegance with the laid-back charm of Miami’s waterfront. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is inviting—chic yet warm, with beautiful views of Biscayne Bay that set the perfect tone for any occasion. The menu showcases a vibrant mix of Latin American flavors with a modern twist. Standout dishes include the wood-fired seafood, the yuca cheese puffs, and the grilled octopus—each beautifully plated and full of bold, fresh flavors. The cocktails are equally impressive, particularly their signature margaritas and tropical-inspired drinks, which pair perfectly with the lively atmosphere. Service is attentive and friendly, striking a nice balance between professional and relaxed. Whether you’re there for a romantic evening, a celebration, or a casual lunch by the water, Amara delivers a memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy great food, excellent drinks, and a uniquely Miami vibe.More infoAmara at ParaisoPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Edgewater•4.5
