Amelia's 1931

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The place is beautifully decorated, resembling a 1930's speakeasy with cozy, elegant decor. We started with the Escargot and the Porkbelly and both were excellent. The Escargot did not disappoint. It came with six shells, plus crusty bread that I dipped on the left over oil and cheese: delicious. For cocktails, the Silk Stalkings and the Original Sin were ok. Strong in liquor but did not have a bold flavor; with the Original Sin tasting more like a margarita than apple. The Tiramisu was a generous portion with a bold coffee flavor and authentic cream. Service was exceptional. Easy access from the street. Vegan options available (salad). Several gluten free options available. Would love to return and try other fare.

Absolutely incredible from the moment we walked in. Everything we tried was fantastic and the hospitality and service by Priscilla and the team was just as amazing. To top it off, the live music was just remarkable. One of the best restaurants my wife and I have been to all year and we’re looking for the next chance to come back.

My daughter highly recommended this place and it did not disappoint. Everything g we ordered was so tasty! Excellent selections on the menu without being too overwhelming. The prices for entrees are in the $$$ but the quality is there. Easy to park. Service was great too!

I went with some friends to celebrate my wife's birthday and both food and drinks were delicious. Our waiter was great as well. The desserts were amazing!!!.My only suggestion is to have tea available. I rate this restaurant 10/10.

This is the second time I come here and each time is amazing! From the moment you open the door, the laundry decor is unique. We came here on Friday night at 8:30 pm and they had live music, which I loved. At first, I thought the music was too loud but the longer we stayed there, the more I found myself jamming to the music. The restaurant was also full, so there was a lot of conversations going which did not help the noise level. Nonetheless, as soon as I walked in, the manager realized I was recording and she immediately got into the video like a natural. I absolutely loved that. We were seated immediately and the manager introduced herself to us and told us who our server would be and if we had any questions, we can ask her. I liked this gesture and wished more restaurants would do it. Our server arrived at the table immediately and provided us some suggestions. Since we were a group, we thought to share various appetizers with drinks. To drink, I had the Machu Pikachu and it was delicious. It was made with tequila and it was a bit spicy but not overpowering. To eat we had charred pulpo, porkbelly, croquetas, dumplings, umami escargot, hen of the woods, crema catalana and timba. Everything was delicious but my favorite was the dumpling, which had oxtail and umami escargot as it was very flavorful. The main ingredient in the hen of the woods dish was mushroom but it was very tasty. If you don’t like mushroom, I would suggest to still try this as it didn’t really have the mushroom taste. The crema catalana is usually my go to dessert, but they changed the recipe and made it with coffee flavor. I’m not a coffee drinker but I enjoyed its unique flavor. Timba consisted of Maria’s crackers, cream cheese and guava. It was good but the crackers were not as crunchy. As to the service, the server was amazing as he kept checking in on us and ensured we had everything we needed. At 11:00 pm, they have their late night happy hour with loud music, which made the place more lively. You can find unique decor throughout the whole restaurants such as antique sewing machines, phone, lamps, piano etc that makes it special. I absolutely loved this restaurant for the food and the service.

Very cool restaurant. Good for first, second, and third dates. Went for mother's day brunch and Priscilla did such a good job. I will definitely be back because the food was great and the drinks outstanding.

Hidden Gem! And no, it’s not a laundry. Beautiful place, great service, and food was exquisite! You have to visit. We tried different appetizers and entrees, and they were all delicious.

Fun place to go - travel back in time. In the plaza where located appears as a laundromat. But go inside past the washing machine and be brought back in time to when establishments radiated class. Pull up and sit down at the bar for a lovely experience.

Amelia's is one of those breath taking dining experiences--- I have nothing but amazing things to say about Amelia's, the attention to detail in their personally & locally thrifted decor makes for an immersive and elevated speak easy experience. Upon entering we were greeted by a simulated washing machine and very kind and courteous staff. The menu provided a wonderful story regarding prohibition and the rules of the speakeasy ... we enjoyed a wide variety of cocktails whose descriptions were a tale of their own. I highly value yelp reviews so i turned to a few of them to choose my dish. Notable mentions are the ABSOLUTELY mouth watering ceviche, the delightful Korean bbq skewers were so tender and rich in flavor & Ofcourse you cannot go wrong with the Lomo saltado & risotto If you're not used to "concept" restaurants where every plate is a work of art i know it can be intimidating but THIS is your chance to try something new - as EVERY dish is guaranteed to leave you stunned! What can i say i was amazed by the flavor profiles, the presentation and already addicted to the atmosphere at Amelia's ! You won't regret this dinner date, live music and service with compassion is the cherry on top to make this the most memorable dining experience

Visited Amelia's for the first time for their late night happy hour. They had a lively band playing flamenco music. When you walk in you're immediately greeted by the host, the restaurant is dimly lit and gives a speakeasy vibe. We decided to sit in the back where they had a layout of antique sofas, where we enjoyed some cocktails and music. I had the Mezcal you later which was delicious and my fiancee ordered a Kentucky mule. I definitely see myself coming back here again. I would suggest to not come too casually dressed since most people are in nice outfits.

Went here for my birthday and honestly we were pretty happy with the overall of the restaurant. We got a couple of the cocktails. They were: Cereal Killer: 4 out of 5. This was advertised by the server that it's a dessert drink since "it is very sweet". Unfortunately, this drink wasn't THAT sweet as we thought and honestly not a dessert drink unless it was made wrong? Original Sin: 5 out of 5. This was honestly my favorite drink. The green apple was there and it wasn't too sweet but it was delicious! Paper Plane: 3 out of 5. It was ok. Appetizer: Croquestas: 5 out of 5 Tuna Tataki: 5 out of 5 Seafood ceviche: 5 out of 5 Entrees: Filet Mignon: 4 out of 5 the risotto did not blow me away just like the one from the Lomo saltado. Lomo Saltado: 5 out of 5 delicious entree! The meat the risotto was honestly amazing. Pork Cuban Katsu: 3 out of 5 but the pork on here was dry. Our server said the food is brought as a family style. My party was thinking we were getting extra plates but for the most of the time we were eating I had no plates to make sure I didn't make any mess. This ruined our dining experience.

Pleasantly surprised! Restaurant is in a typical casual shopping center, but upon entering you definitely feel the Cuban ambiance and eclectic decor. Great service and some really good Cuban dishes with a twist. Will definitely be back.

The food here is great. The crickets are fire but then again it is to be expected considering it's family with islas Canarias. as soon as you walk in, it looks like you're entering a laundry mat. It's very charming and has a great atmosphere. The service was very attentive. The bartenders make great cocktails. I definitely recommend this for a girls night out a date or a family outing even. They do have themes on several nights that makes it a lot of fun. Highly recommended.

This place is located inside a plaza from the outside. You would think it was a laundromat and the minute you walk in you were transported back to the 1800s we walked in and they had live music which really set the tone and atmosphere. We started off with the pork belly and tuna torta Both absolutely delicious. Then we had the Amelia Burguer, It was very interesting, but I felt like the chorizo made it a bit overwhelming. For drinks I had a pineapple margarita that was not my favorite and we also had a Piku machu? Can't remember the name but it was really strong. We didn't have space for dessert, but we will definitely come back and try other plates. Service was great ambience was amazing. I really feel like i was at my grandma's house. Perfect for date night.

I went to Amelia's and I hadn't been there for a while. They expanded it with an amazing bar and bigger areas for dinner. The service was a little slow. It took some time for them to even acknowledge that we were there, which is why they didn't get five stars The food was really good. I only ordered appetizers, but the taste was good and the cocktails were pretty delicious as well. They have a live band, which is my favorite part. Definitely recommend it is a fun time.

So if you love speakeasies, great cocktails and unique but delicious food, you're definitely gonna love this place. It has an unassuming entrance as a dry cleaner in a mostly residential area with and a 1920s vibe. They seated us immediately in a beautiful booth, and the server explained all of the menu options. The menu is a fusion of Cuban and Asian specialties. They even have live music on Thursdays and Saturdays. Each of us ordered something different and I must say that none of them disappointed. So looking forward to coming back.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would...it exceeded every expectation and is truly a gem in the unlikeliest of places: Kendall. Coming in, we were confused by the entrance...it looks like a dry cleaner but in wonderful speakeasy style you move past a curtain of dry cleaning garments and into a vintage style bar, with dim lighting, jazz playing and a decor that is simultaneous cozy and elegant. It's classy without being pretentious. But the FOOD. Wow. That was the word used over and over with each new bite, and everything--I mean, everything--was absolutely delicious. We had: Tuna Aguachile for appetizer: refreshing and delicious. The watermelon gave it an extra special touch of sweetness. Special of the day: fried snapper with Brussels sprouts. The little nuggets of fish were well presented, plated into a fried snapper. They did all the work for you so all you have to do is enjoy. The Brussels Sprouts (a generous portion) was amazing in a sweet soy glaze. I didn't think I would like this vegetable that much! The Boniato Gnocchi was delightful. I was concerned it would be too cheesy but this was the BEST gnocchi I've had. It came in a Rococo sauce that was never overpowering topped with a Parm crisp. It had the perfect Bliss Point--It left me wanting more, and I never say that about gnocchi. Cocktails: Penicillin: I was looking for something that wasn't too sweet and this was very refreshing. Dessert: Timba, a cream cheese mousse topped with guava and Maria cookies. Initially disappointed that it was served on a regular plate instead of the martini glass it usually comes in but it tastes lovely--not too sweet, and the cream cheese flavor was subtly sweet and not too strong. Very good and a reminiscent of the classic guava and cheese after dinner. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Amelia's is an absolute GEM! You would never expect what awaits for you inside from the outside shopping center where it's located. I'm a regular at Finka, their sister restaurant, and this restaurant simply does not miss. I've been here twice, and both times have been nothing but spectacular. The food, ambiance, and service are top notch. They also play live music on specific days of the week which makes it a cute restaurant to go and sit at the bar for a casual date! 10/10

We stopped by after having dinner. So we only tried the croquetas and pork belly appetizers. The drinks were amazing the service was good. It was Saturday so they had live music. Great relaxed place, food was also amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Holly Holly hole in the wall. Place is amazing Food is delicious! Live music The service A+++++++++ The mussels and escargot wow !!!! Will definitely be back keep up the good work guys Evan thank you

At last, fine dining makes its way to Kendall. Amelia's has always been a favorite hidden gem, but ever since the expansion it has allowed those of us who are out west to go out for a good time without a $50+ Uber charge. Food is amazing, and I recommend to go to the late night speak easy section for some good vibes, great music and creative cocktails.

WOAH! Before I say anything else, I would like to thank Ashlyn. She was a phenomenal waitress and she definitely made the experience something more. Now for the food. The short rib croquetas are very good. I must admit that I wish they had a thicker texture. They were a little soft for a croqueta. I wish they had more bite but the flavor was off the charts. The pork belly is absolutely divine. It comes with fried cheese and some cucumber salad. I think it's a well balanced appetizer and it left me wanting more. It was however a little small... mind you it was split between 4 people. The French onion soup. Just do it. Try it. You will not regret it. I was not a huge fan of the braised oxtail. The meat itself was delicious but I didn't particularly like the tamal en cazuela. My friends however devoured their meals. The seared airline chicken looked good and my friends seemed to think it was phenomenal. I couldn't try it do to my shellfish allergy. THE SECO DE RES!!! This was incredible. The risotto is a little hard to comprehend. I can't explain it but you can taste the beans. It's absolutely delicious though. It's like nothing I have ever had before. Very creamy and it pairs perfectly with the short rib. This plate was so good. It's such a trip! Please try this, I highly recommend it. The cocktails are PHENOMENAL! But the only one worth talking about has to be the "Caprese." This drink sounds weird on paper and it's even more surprising when it arrives at your table. It is surprisingly decadent. I'm at a loss for words when it comes to this drink. My overall opinion on Amelia's is that this place is a solid 4 stars. The food is visually stunning and mind blowingly delicious. It's been a while since I've been surprised by my food. If you're looking for something different but close to home, this is the place! Oh and it has a great atmosphere! Love the energy.

Just reopened it is truly magical. Good bar menu and also amazing dinner menu . Also delicious short rib croquetas and also good bites ad a good short rib dish wow crazy good. The decor is simply like being put in a movie in the 30's great job by the team doing the re boot just on point. The dinner separate from the bar and bar tables and the dark lighting the decor just crazy !of course the mixology was so Speak easy really good perfect drinks bd good pours good happy hour too! This is truly a gem. love this Location and the service bartenders and staff just outstanding!

My friends and I went for dinner and we were seated promptly. I do recommend that you make a reservation because it gets pretty busy. The ambiance is like being at your grandmas home, very relaxing. We ordered many tapas and then were all delicious. We shared the lomo salteado and it was tasty. For dessert, we shared the mango key lime pie and the timba- both were good. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant.

Truly a hidden gem! Right in the heart of bird. First time coming to Amelia's and I can definitely say I was blown away. The customer service as soon as we entered was very accommodating and friendly. The decor was definitely old school vintage 1930's vibes. The food was to die for! So many mixed flavors of Asian, Cuban, and Peruvian cuisine. We ordered for food the Lomo Saltado, Chicharron, Seco de Res every bit was just extraordinary in rich juicy flavors. For drinks we ordered the Mr. beet and Yass Queen! Strong and unique flavors! Perfect for a romantic date night! Highly recommend ^.^

What to say! Great atmosphere,, great food, great drinks, and top notch service! Will definitely come back.

I've had this restaurant on my radar for a while and finally had the opportunity to eat here this week. The restaurant has a speakeasy vibe. It's located in a strip mall in west Kendall, but the outside signage advertises a laundry mat. Once you walk in, you aw surrounded by dry cleaned clothes and a visual of a washing machine. Very cute. The hostess was friendly and sat us very quickly with our reservation. The place is decorated beautifully but the music was a tad loud. Our server and staff were friendly and knowledgeable on all the menu items and cocktails. We started with the escargot and beef tartare. The escargot was amazing! A MUST TRY! The beef tartare was just ok for me. We ran out of bread for the remaining few escargots and ordered some more and they charged us $4 without even telling us. So moderate yourselves with the bread they give you with the app. It's not enough, especially to dip into that amazing escargot sauce. Our main dishes were the risotto with short rib and the boniato gnocchi. The gnocchi was delicious but the Parmesan cheese cracker on top felt a bit stale. The risotto was also delicious. For dessert we had the timba. It was decent, but I felt it was missing something to elevate it to a higher level. Overall we had a great experience and enjoyed the food. We will be back to try a few other options on the menu.

This isn't the first time I come to Amelia's 1931, and it won't be the last. This restaurant is a gem and it never disappoints. The decor is beautiful and the bar backlights and chandeliers over the booths give the best vibe. The food is delicious and the drinks are out of this world. Props to Kevin the bartender, and honestly all the wait staff. Everyone is super professional and courteous. Last - the music. When they don't have live music (which is great btw), the music that plays in the restaurant is *perfect*. Great for ambiance and perfect volume. They thought of everything!

Pros: what a beautiful restaurant, the decor is classy, the lighting is perfect, the service is immaculate. The boniato gnocchi with Parmesan crisp is one of the best things I've eaten in a long long time. My hubby doesn't even like gnocchi and he ate most of the dish. We also had the Halibut and it was delicious. The drinks were 10/10 I had the apple pisco drinks and WOW, WOW, WOW. I hope they add this drink to all their restaurants. Cons: I'm not a fan of a restaurant with a dress code, I get what they are trying to do, just not my vibe. Having said that they all complimented my outfit, I love dressing up, I just don't like it when it's mandatory. Def returning.

When you walk in through the doors you're immediately transported to a classy speakeasy type vibe. Beautiful decor and ambiance. They have live music certain nights and the place gets really lively. The food is an eclectic mix of Asian and Cuban. Some dishes are hit or miss. Love the onion soup, that's definitely a hit. Service has always been good for me. Bar service especially is excellent. Drinks are unique and delicious. Love this place for vibe and drinks alone. Highly recommend.

The 1931 theme has drama. Really unique, had a great time. Food, drinks and music really elevate this place as a late night cuban dive. Loved how we entered through a dry cleaning business. Very fun.

Amazing, profesional, highly quality I recommended. The place We will return Ivan was an amazing server!, he provide good recommendations The food was delicious The ambient was perfect for our ocasión

Fantastic, well crafted drinks and yummy food. If going during the weekend, make sure to make a reservation because it does fill up quickly.

The atmosphere at this place is amazing. When you're inside it makes you feel like you traveled to another place, you'd never expect to be at a restaurant in the middle of Kendall. The laundry room entrance concept was great, and although the sign was not very visible, I can respect the "speakeasy" vibes it gives. Off rip, we were impressed with the tuna tataki - whatever sauce they put that in needs to be sold in stores (lol). But the main event was the escargots, this was our first time trying these and I would've ordered another plate if we hadn't already ordered half the apps menu. We were really impressed with everything. The oxtail dumplings and oxtail tamal en cazuela were honorable mentions, whoever is cooking back there got the sazon on point! The bartender was great, she actually ended up taking care of us the rest of the night since our table wasn't ready when we had arrived so we just sat at the bar. Her expresso martinis were to die for, and the 2 mocktails she made my girlfriend were also delicious. 10/10 experience and will definitely come back and recommend the place. It's not everyday you find a place with a nice ambiance, a tasty selection of food and great craft cocktails outside of Brickell, Wynwood, Beach areas - if you go here you don't have to go that far! Perfect place for date night.

Loved my dinner at Amelia's! I extra love that the exterior looks like the original laundry mat and then when you walk in they keep that vibe going. Such an amazing speakeasy vibe. Our server Evan was amazing the perfect mix of friendly, outgoing, and full of suggestions! I had the Yass Queen cocktail and loved that it was served in a legit tea cup. It was delicious and definitely something I'd order again. The steak frites and short rib were spot on. The mussels were also an great appetizer with a super hearty portion. Sadly there was no room for dessert, but overall just a wonderful and delicious dining experience.

From service to dessert, everything was great ! We had dumplings, steak and frites, se i de res with risotto and the coconut cheesecake. The coconut cheesecake was to die for. We can't wait to go back, this time we'll try to be there for the live music

Amelia's is wonderful and I think they are sooooo underrated. The place is gorgeous and so private. The staff is super friendly. The food is full of flavor and carefully crafted(the appetizers are better than the entrees). And they are especially known for the drinks. Incredible bartender. I have gone around 5 times now with different friends. P.S. Reservation is a MUST.

Food was exquisite. The ambience was nice. Very romantic. Chic. After 1130 though music is very loud and service is only available at the bar. They don't kxik you out though. So as long as you have food and drinks, you can hang out. The tables have this nifty cubi where they keep the cutlery. The entrance is like a laundromat so you may think you're in the wrong place. The overall experience was great.

Where do I even start! This new reopened gem is the ultimate 30s Gatsby-ish vibe that as you enter through those doors it's like you're in an alternate time era. Needless to say, it's located in your typical Kendall Shopping plaza which that's what it's all about. We go to Finka all the time, so we decided to check this location out from the hype of the bartenders. The ambiance is just spectacular. We sat at the bar and our wonderful and charismatic bartender Jasmine (that I love so much, cause she's such a vibe) made our Sunday night! Her attentiveness, artistic and creative mind, and super fun personality is just a huge plus! We ordered some drinks, some on the menu and some that she invented on the fly, we got two "opening act" dishes (shiitake mushrooms which were the special of the day and charred octopus) and one "main event" dish (Arroz con Pato). Everything was a fusion on the palate, delicioso! The presentation, flavors and satisfaction was on point. Jasmine told us that they have music on Fridays and Saturday so I definitely want to come back then to experience that for sure. Loved it all!

It's not often that you find a place where the cocktails are as good as the food. Amelia's is that place. Started with the mussels and escargot which are both outstanding. For my entree I had the rabo on a bed of tamale en cazuela. This dish was phenomenal. Ended with the timba. From start to finish the service was top notch. Was having such a nice time I lingered at the bar enjoying amazing cocktails and live music

Evan, the one who took care of us during dinner, is the reason I'm giving Amelia's a 5/5. Forget the fact that every single dish that arrived to the table provided a mouthful of flavors or that the restaurant provides a speakeasy feel with the restaurant window front covered as if you're entering a dry clean store. Evan is the reason. It was a fairly slow night for a Saturday, so Evan allowed us to take our time and think about our food options while providing recommendations along the way. We decided to put our trust in Evan, and allowed him to persuade us into trying dishes we had not intended to try upon arrival...and we are so glad we did! Here's what we had: -Alabariño wine to start. Per Evan, their wines are sourced from private reserves, meaning that only a select amount of bottles of each specific wine is produced rather than mass amounts; therefore, better quality of wine. Cocktails and beers also available. -Pork belly. Plated by alternating between pieces of queso frito and pork belly (you'll want to order this!) -Octopus with spicy black bean purée and crema. Evan suggested to try the first bite of the octopus with just the black beans and crema, and for the second bite, to squeeze a bit of the lime with tajin. Both ways were delicious! -Seco de res. Short rib with abuela's seasoning on top of a perfectly cooked risotto -Coconut cheesecake on Oreo crust. Perfection. No overpowering coconut flavor. Just a perfect balance of flavors. -Cuban old fashioned (made with Brugal 1888 and colada) as an apres dinner sipping cocktail (recommendation of Evan) Evan, thank you for the amazing experience and all of the solid recommendations. I'll be back very soon. ***other details*** *Free parking as it's located within a shopping plaza *No issues splitting check amongst 2 *The window front has dry cleaner signage to create a speakeasy-feel

My third time at Amelias went sour for me as lack of communication from server and staff left me thinking twice about coming back. In my previous review I praised the restaurant very high, specifically because of original and creative it is. Atmosphere is everything and this restaurant transports me every time but...happy hour change my heart. I have come here before at regular hours and ordered drinks at regular price. Thats not an issue for me. But when I decided to do happy hour and take advantage of those prices I was not aware that it was only at the bar. We wanted to also eat comfortably and sit at the table, so we asked to sit at the booth, the bartender could have told us that happy hour was only at the bar, but she did not. When we sat at the table we kept on ordering drinks and even told the servers, both of them the time so they were aware that we were ordering before 7pm. Not once anybody mentioned to us that we were not going to get happy hour prices at the table. As I said, this is my third time, I like this place but I do not appreciate misleading marketing and promos. If they are exclusions you need to mention them front and center. The website does not say anything until you scroll all the way down to hours and honestly it is not even mentioning anything about the restrictions of drinks and brands. The restaurant manager made it a point to show us the fine line in the website and was not able to make any changes to prices and accommodate us, when we complained. Sad, very sad. No restaurant is perfect. Business are run by people and people make mistakes. We all make mistakes but making sure you fixed them and amend as needed is for professionals. Marketing tip from a marketing professional. If they are exceptions a simple asterisk to read more about what those restrictions are should be place somewhere in the artwork.

This is our second time here we decided we had liked it the first time and would be great for a friend's upcoming birthday. The service is great. Our server Priscilla is wonderful. The food is good. The special that night was Osso Bucco which was delicious as were the mussels. For dessert we had Timba which is creamed cream Cheese with coconut and guava sauce. The birthday "boy" was very happy with our choice! Oh and there was live Music

An absolutely cute place! Went on a date and had an amazing time. Thank god my date was cute and witty and chose the location. When you walk in it's got that hidden laundry vibe and opens up to seatings and a bar. There is a sala in the back but we didn't go back there so not sure how that looked. We ordered cocktails, I had the steak and frites and my date ordered the Lomo Saltado. Both AMAZING! The service was super nice they were attentive and kind! The spot is definitely worth a shot! Highly recommend, and will definitely go back

Came here because the cuisine was Japanese, Cuban and Peruvian. Exciting combination. We didn't have a reservation and hadn't heard anything about the place so we decided to try our luck and simply show up for walk in. They took us in but sat us in the back because of attire. BOYS, DO NOT WEAR SHORTS. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN! They were nice enough to let us through this once. Maybe because it was an hour or so to closing and maybe because they sat us in the back near the bar which is basically in another section of the restaurant. Ambiance My favorite thing about the place is definitely the decor. From the outside, it looks like a laundry/dry cleaning store. So much so that I struggled for a minute to find the entrance. I loved that. When you first get in, the theme continues and there's a massive 'washing machine' with clothes in it, and clothes hanging to 'dry'. After that, the decor was very pretty. I took many photos for yelp and for myself. I loved the set up. Service We got seated in the back which I honestly didn't mind because it was quieter, and private. The lady that was serving us was very nice and checked on us several times and was cleaning up our table between courses. The food came in a timely fashion and I stumbled upon what I assume to be the manager and he told me that they are basically reopening the place. They changed things and opened a new Yelp page. So although it seems new, it's not, but at the same time, it is. Food Definitely wanted to try things I haven't before. Started with the Bok Choy which was a cabbage marinated and topped with spices and sauces. It was my first time ever getting it and I actually really liked it. The second appetizer was the pork belly and fried cheese. Wow. This one was absolutely delicious. Probably my favorite dish of the night. It came with a small side of greens. The main dish was the filet mignon risotto which was really good. It came with a sauce drizzled on the meat which was interesting. Most importantly, the meat was cooked medium rare, just how I like it. We got a side of mashed potatoes which we didn't know were going to be mashed potatoes, but tasted good nonetheless. Along with the meals, we had some drinks. The drinks were alright. We ended the night with the pear cobbler and it was alright as well. It was flavorful and I love pear so it was good to end with. The price for the food was pretty decent. This place is affiliated with Finka and Barbakoa by Finka! So if you liked those 2 places, you'd like this one too!!

Amazing food, service and vibe!!! Little gem in west kendall! Happy house is great!!!

I need to come this s place for drinks and small bites. Neo-Cuban food. Great ambiance. And people. You walk in to this "laundromat" and it's a super cool speakeasy restaurant. Make reservations and go

I don't know the story behind this restaurant; I heard an inspiring one, but I cannot confirm its veracity. However, this place is outstanding! The atmosphere matches Miami's fancy cadence with accuracy. The music is louder than a traditional restaurant, but this is far from being a boring, uptight, traditional restaurant; it has the vibe. The food is delicious, and the selection of wine is splendid. In my estimation, prices could be less fierce, but I guess this contributes to keeping Amelia's an exclusive hub for rigorous mouths. I ordered the exquisite Filet Mignon, which may sound basic, but its tenderness was only surpassed by our sweet, kind, efficient waitress.

First time trying Amelia's and had a good experience. The interior is beautiful and I love the speakeasy vibe that the decor leans into. The music can be a little too loud at times, but nothing terrible. Service was great, hostess was nice, and everyone felt very welcoming. Let's get into the food! Original Sin cocktail: 6/10 - I didn't love it, but my mom really liked it, so it could have just been me. Escargot appetizer: 100/10 - absolutely DELICIOUS! I've had escargot at top restaurants in Paris.... these blow them out of the water. Beef tartare appetizer: 7/10 - this was just okay. Not delicious, but not bad. The sauce lacked a bit of flavor. Seco de Res: 8.5/10 - nice flavors! Solid dish, but if I return I'd probably pick something new. Boniato Gnocchi: 10000000/10 - absolutely incredible dish, one of the best I've had in Miami so far! The crispy breadcrumbs balanced the soft gnocchi perfectly. I would return over and over just for this dish. Timba: 5/10 - This dessert fell flat for me. There wasn't enough guava and overall just felt like something was missing. A traditional timba would've been better, but I appreciate trying new things :) Overall, I'd definitely return for the escargot and gnocchi and to explore more of the menu.

Food was incredible! We were a group of 4 and shared 3 appetizers and 3 entrees. The different flavors that each plate had were just amazing. The way Peruvian, Cuban and Korean food was combined was perfection. Our server was Priscilla and I would come back and ask for her again. She was so detailed with all of the plates we asked about and her recommendations were all accurate with food and drinks as well. Can't wait to come back and try new things they rotate on their menu.

This is a wonderful place for date night or an intimate event with your close friends. We visited here and sat at the bar where the service was outstanding. The bartender was knowledgeable and very kind, he recommended us great drinks and our meals were delicious. My favorite plate was the sweet potato gnocchi, I highly recommend. We'll be coming back very soon!

I had gone here once before the pandemic came around and wow is it incredibly different. Was looking for a few appetizers I remember from before and they were long gone. Everything we tried was amazing, but I really want to rave about the Lomo Saltado risotto. The dish was incredibly well put together and now I am dreaming about that ají amarillo risotto. I will also say that the duck in the arroz pato was perfectly cooked. If you want an appetizer, my recommendation would be the oxtail dumplings. Good amount per bite, good value, excellently executed. The waiter was very confident but he gave us incorrect information regarding the amount (said there were five short rib croquetas and we got four) and he didn't follow through on a request he acknowledged regarding the dessert (guava, cheese and galleta María), and not only that, he essentially ignored us after that interaction. Gets a 5/5 because although the service could be better, the food and drinks were delish.

Great atmosphere, decor is very nice and chic. Food was presented very well, and the taste was on point. The bar took forever to make our drinks, our drinks came way after our appetizers. We ordered 4 appetizers and our waiter forgot to put in the order for one...which according to him was the best one...the escargot. It was a Tuesday and the place was empty.

Great place to just chill have some good food great drinks and listen to some great Jazz . Service is on point with everyone being attentive .

This one is my favorite restaurants in Miami, and once they did the expansion I love it even more. The ambiance is gorgeous, especially love the live music on Thursdays and abuela's living room area is so cozy. I've been going here since at least 2018 and it's never failed to be delicious. They change the menu every so often, sometimes taking off favorites but they always replace it with something great. Their drinks are delicious too and presented beautifully. I've had the cereal killer, mezcal you later and the espresso martini (which was top notch and I'm not a big martini girl). For food you can't go wrong with the croquetas, tuna aguachile (my favorite), pork belly, and filet minon skewers. We always split appetizers and you're usually good with doing just that. Staff is super knowledgeable, helpful and friendly!

Food is great they have a good variety, but since having revamped the place they took out a few key menu items that we loved and kept coming back for. For this I give 4 stars, we were just a bit disappointed the Slap yo momma oxtail was gone (I understand how different and fancy the restaurant is now but that plate was iconic). Service is always great, the servers are very attentive and Leo is the absolute best.

Deliciousness is the word. Evan took good care of us. Highly recommend it. We will come back.
