Been here many times great service. Ceviche was great must have the Fire and Ice. Lobster empanadas has wonderful squid ink dough . Fried oysters with fufu a must! Don't forget desert da bomb.

Sam C

Amazing atmosphere, service, and food. You HAVE to try their ceviche and mojitos ! Also cuatro leches cake with passion fruit ice cream will change your life.

Nick Burto

The food & service here is amazing. 2 glasses of Cava to start. Pair with Fire & Ice cerviche , marlin tacos and the short rib empanadas . You've already won. Choose whatever Entreè sounds good.

Alex Watson

Came just for dessert but ended up getting the lobster ceviche and fried rock shrimp (chicharrones - not fried pork tho!) all flavorful and delicious, lobster a bit chewy. Service was perfection!

Jessica Wickham

A great restaurant to experience modern Cuban food . Highly recommend the ceviche , and the salmon fillet was incredible!

MNT M.

The menu is similar to past OLA incarnations (the restaurant has moved around some) -- a concise framework of 12 small plates ($13 to $19), eight ceviches (most $16). Read more

OLA in Miami is to die for. The ceviches , the cocktails , the actual entrees. It's romantic and chic and like such a classic in this town .

Eric Haeussler

Just had appetizers here - all excellent recommendations. Pricy , but sat outside with another couple and had a great time in this atmosphere.

Amanda

Amazing! Yellowtail ceviche , lobster empanadas , marlin tacos , yellowtail main course, flan dessert . Great meal.

The Feast

Go with a group so that you can sample as many small plates as possible. Favorites are the short rib empanadas , fire and ice ceviche and smoked marlin tacos . Still hungry? Deconstructed key lime pie .

Alex Mecum

Ceviche and empanadas are great, but the the Stuffed Poblano Pepper with vegan cheese was amazing. Unexpected hit.

Short rib empanadas are to die for but the filet mignon churrascou is totally heavenly! 10 out of 10!

Mark Nielsen

The staff , the atmosphere, the food. Fantastic seafood and even though it's a bit pricey it's worth every dollar.

Marla Mullowney

The chicarrones to start, the fresh catch of the day as the main and then end of with da bombe. You won't be disappointed!

Corn empanadas , fish tacos , & chicharron are to die for. Wash it down with watermelon mojitos .

Amazing rolls (gluten free ), smoked marlin tacos , fufu and delicious braised pork that you can share. The asparagus were gigantic, but not that special.

The lobster empanadas , shrimp chicharones , and duck rice/meat where amazing!

Trust your waiter 's recommendations. Fois-Gras Empanadas : extravagant, but worth it! For a cocktail , they make the best Pisco Sour .
