Amara at Paraiso - Restaurant in Miami - 3101 NE 7th Ave, USA

I went to the Brunch last Sunday with some friends and we had a great time. I had the Arroz Verde, which was so good, I totally recommend it, so much flavor! The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was really nice with a wonderful view. I definitely recommend it!

The view is unbeatable:) We had lunch. The appetizer and dessert were delicious, but the main dish was super salty. I had the fish from a special lunch menu. Overall, we had a great time!

Came here for my bday dinner - definitely recommend for an occasion. We sat outside where the view of the water was lovely. There's a nice little walkway so I took some dope pics there. The short rib empanadas were a great appetizer to share (we got 3). So flavorful and set the tone for our meal. I had the snapper which was AMAZING! It says shareable but I had it just for myself (I shared some of it for them to try) but it was moreso my entree. I took my leftovers home which was good the next day. My friend had the short rib which melted in your mouth but I do think the presentation was lacking especially because it was $5 more than my fish lol those 2 dishes really aren't that comparable. They need to up the presentation of the short rib or add another side to fill up the plate. My mom had the chicken- no complaints there. We shared this sweet potato side which was very interesting. Didn't make well for leftovers due to the cold sauce atop and too filling for one person so I recommend sharing it. The drinks were... ok. Id recommend ordering wine. I had a complimentary birthday tiramisu with a sparkler which was the perfect end to the evening. I'd certainly return!

What a terrible first impression this restaurant has made. I do not recommend and will definitely never be returning. the service and the food quality do not match the atmosphere or price point. I am very disappointed I chose this place to celebrate my new year. went in at 3pm left almost 6pm. the turn around time for appetizers and entrees was insane like no other, I have never experienced such slow service and the quality of the food was terrible. unfortunately this is just a lesson learned. to my surprise there was a $50 tip already added on to my bill which if I didn’t have to wait 1 hour for my entree I would have gladly paid but I sure did ask for that to be removed. but even with that this restaurant did not deserve the money I paid for the food. I ordered the catch of the day and the yuca mash was hard and dry and the fish unflavored with burnt chimichurry. the server asked how my meal was and I said eh… you think he asked how he can fix the issue or make it better? nope. and I didn’t ask for a change because that would’ve taken another hour. moral of the story, save your money and find another waterfront restaurant.

I visited this restaurant with my coworkers, some tried the 3 course menu, some tried ala carte. I tried the amara burger with fries which was delicious. My associates tried empanadas, yuca cheese puffs with truffle, ham croquettes, salmon salad. The hospitality was nice and friendly. The food took a while to arrive, perhaps because we were in a rush lol. Will definitely come again.

First time trying Amara and it was great! We were seated outside, the view was spectacular and the weather was perfect. We started with one dozen oysters, the ginger mignonette was delicious. We had the smoked fish dip, wish was great & the right amount of smokey. The “golden hour” drink was also perfect, if you like spicy drinks this is the one! I had the whole chicken and my friend had the grilled snapper. Both were good. The chicken was amazing, I didn’t even get a picture lol. Both dishes were the right amount of everything. The only thing I would say would be the service. Our server was great and energetic, but it seemed she had been sat multiple tables simultaneously, some of which were large parties, which hindered her from providing the service we could feel she was most certainly capable of. Other than that I would definitely return and also recommend.

The snapper ceviche was very spicy which I loved. The atmosphere was great and the restaurant was quite busy. I would recommend reserving a table ahead. There is also indoor and outdoor seatings.

If you go at night, ask for outdoor seating overlooking the bay. Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Fantastic wine selection with an in house Somm on staff to answer any questions. We did the Miami Spice with the wine pairing. Lamb Shank was delicious! Everything was outstanding! Great value! I have read reviews about valet parking issues. It's not an area that offers many parking options so Uber it like we did or do valet. Valet charges are on par with other nice restaurants in Miami.
