Tucked away on a busy street, Orilla Bar & Grill mixes stylish Argentine flair with plant-filled charm, offering prime steaks and inventive cocktails in a breezy, tropical setting.
"This Argentinian restaurant is one of the best options in South of Fifth when you’re looking for something nicer that also won't require taking out a loan, which is a small circle for this area. But Orilla is stylish enough to remind you that you are, in fact, in South Beach, and the open-air seating along 5th Street is about as close as you want to get to eating on Ocean Drive. You're coming here for a steak (and possibly a martini). There are a handful of steak options on the menu, and the $62 16-ounce ribeye is a pretty good deal considering this is the same neighborhood where you can order a $1,000 steak (don’t, by the way)." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"Orilla is an Argentinian steakhouse that’s always a solid pick if you’re looking to have cocktails and red meat in South Beach. The restaurant is sleek, dim, and good for a steak date. The steak is what you should focus on here, but getting mollejas and empanadas on the table is a good idea too. There are a handful of steak options on the menu, and the $68 16-ounce ribeye is a pretty good deal considering this is the same neighborhood where you can order a $1,000 steak (don’t, by the way). This isn’t a meal that you’ll talk about for months to come, but believe us when we tell you that a reliably good (and refreshingly calm) steakhouse with protein options well under $100 is a rare treasure in South Beach. " - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
"This South American fusion outpost on Miami Beach serves up favorites like spicy beef empanadas, crispy arancini, bucatini pasta, and a variety of steaks seared on the charcoal grill, all in a sexy tropical outdoor space." - Amber Love Bond, Olee Fowler
"Before dinner at: Macchialina, Taquiza, Casa Isola Orilla is more of a restaurant, but they do have a little bar and we really like their cocktails. Plus, the Argentinian restaurant is really beautiful and stylish, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to keep things formal. There is a 37% chance you like it so much here that you end up sticking around for dinner, but that’s alright because the food is good too." - ryan pfeffer
"The South of Fifth Argentinian spot Orilla has covered patio seating that lets you feel like you’re eating outside but also will prevent those new suede shoes from getting ruined. The food here—mostly small plates with a lot of red meat—is very good. They also have a tableside martini that is one of the best martinis in town. It’s cute too, good for a date or dinner with a couple friends who also don’t want to ruin their new suede shoes. Wow, you all wore suede shoes, huh? Embarrassing." - ryan pfeffer
