Chica - Review - Upper East Side - Miami - The Infatuation

"Chica is one of the more mature clubstaurant options in town. This MiMo spot is located on a relatively quiet street far from any loud bars, so it’s a good option for folks who are afraid of South Beach. The restaurant only transforms into a full-fledged clubstaurant on Fridays and Saturdays starting at 9pm. During those times, expect sparkly dancers to weave their way through the big dining room while a DJ and accompanying live saxophone player ensure it’s loud enough to distract you from the fact that the chips and guacamole cost $22. But unlike most clubstaurants, the service is good and the restaurant’s design, a sort of Mid-century modern Tulum, is actually quite pretty. The food is way overpriced and just barely above average, which, for a clubstaurant is about as good as it gets. We like the cocktails though, and they have some shareable drinks that can serve up to eight." - Ryan Pfeffer
