   Amara 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.

   Long waits, then we were told the kitchen was even backed up another 45 minutes. Prices are insane. The only good part is that it’s a beautifullly decorated. We left

   Easter Brunch was poorly planned and executed. Was given a menu prior to Easter which showed desirable options. Menu was changed and dissapointing

   What a horrible experience! I reserved a table outside for Easter, atable of 5. I was only offered a table inside with the promise of moving me when available and no one ever followed up. No one came to check on us or offer us to move. The table was messy at all times, when they would bring drinks they would leave old empty bottles, no one refilled the water or drinks, the food was subpar and the portions were very small while very expensive .We paid over $500 and I quickly noticed the tip was already included! The bathroom was messy and ran out of toilet paper. I let the front know. I am so disappointed! I will not return!

   We loved the ambiance on Easter morning after mass. The Easter bunny was in attendance and they even had an easter egg hunt for the little kids to enjoy. We knew the service wouldn’t be great because they were so busy. We got the octopus for an appetizer and it was delicious! We ended up getting our meals at different times and I unfortunately got my roasted chicken (incredibly tasty probably the best chicken I’ve ever had) last and we had already been there for two hours. I would go back but maybe not on Easter Sunday. Thanks for a beautiful experience though!

   Dined here for Easter and service was incredibly delayed. Waited 2 hours for our food, and our 5 year old was starving. Not exactly the experience you want for a holiday brunch. After complaining we were offered cheese bites, but still charged a full 20% gratuity which is just poor service.

   Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the long wait and the impact it had on your Easter brunch. We understand how frustrating that must have been, especially with a young child. While a small gesture was offered, we regret that it didn’t make up for the experience, and we appreciate you pointing out the issue with the automatic gratuity. Your comments are being taken seriously and shared with our team for improvement.
