Alfonso, the bartender, makes fantastic cocktails, and the entire team was friendly and welcoming. Everything from the food to the service was top-notch. We truly enjoyed our time and will definitely be back. Highly recommended!
My visit to Marabú in Miami in September 2025 began beautifully. The hostess was exceptionally courteous and empathetic, welcoming us with genuine warmth and making us feel comfortable from the very first moment. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cosy and inviting, setting the tone for an excellent dining experience.
Starters, Main Course and Dessert
The flavours and textures of the dishes we ordered were truly impressive. Every plate showcased great balance, freshness and attention to detail. The starter already hinted at the kitchen’s high standards, and the main course confirmed the restaurant’s remarkable quality, with well‑executed combinations and delicious seasoning. The dessert was the perfect finale, delicious, well presented and full of flavour, leaving a memorable impression.
Conclusion
Marabú offers a complete and delightful experience: a comfortable and welcoming environment, wonderful service, and dishes that stand out for their flavour and texture. It is certainly a place worth visiting and one that stays with you long after the meal ends.
We chose the Valentine’s menu for two and added the fried yuca. Everything was amazing! The yuca was soft and very flavorful, and the dipping sauce was to die for. We started the Valentine’s menu with the salmon croquettes—OMG! If this isn’t a regular part of the menu, dear Marabú chef, IT SHOULD BE!
The entrée was a seafood risotto, paella-style. It was incredible—looser than a risotto but drier than a paella. Although I know it’s not part of the regular menu, I will definitely ask for it the next time I visit Miami. Dessert was a Nutella brownie garnished with fresh fruits, hazelnuts, and caramel popcorn; it was unique and very delicious.
Based on my experience today, I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on their menu. It was a dinner to remember. Thank you to the Marabú chef and Ayeli.
We started with the ropa vieja empanada. The ratio of meat to filling felt slightly off, but it was still very tasty with a nicely crispy exterior and flavorful meat.
For mains, we ordered the Marabú charcoal tasajo, which was recommended to us and absolutely delivered — tender, juicy, and served over a creamy corn purée that paired beautifully with the meat. We also had the grilled Florida grouper with yuca fries, maduros, and arroz moro. The grouper was slightly overcooked but still very delicious, and the sides were all satisfying and well prepared.
Overall, a great dining experience with excellent service, strong flavors, and a beautiful atmosphere. Would definitely return.
The ambience added so much to the experience….warm, vibrant, and full of energy, just like Cuba itself. But what really made the night unforgettable was our server. Attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the menu, they went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious Cuban cuisine in a place that feels both lively and welcoming. Will definitely be back!
We had a reservation. When we arrived, about 50% of the restaurant was empty. Because it was very windy near the entrance and we had been out since the morning without warm clothes, I politely asked the host if we could sit just two tables further inside. She said no, claiming that since we “just made the reservation & people usually do it a month in advance, but its Jan 18th we could not move. This made no sense, especially since those tables stayed empty the entire time we were there.
Communication with the host was very difficult. It sounded like she did not fully understand English. I was clearly showing that I was cold, yet three different servers had to be brought over just to explain this simple request. During this time, the host was also telling other guests there were no more reservations available, while many tables were visibly empty. Her attitude was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional.
Eventually, one server stepped in and seated us exactly where we had originally asked to sit.
After sitting down, it took almost 10 minutes for anyone to greet us or bring menus, and even then the host hesitated to give us the menu.
We ordered three soups, which took 15 minutes to arrive. One soup came with almost nothing in it, basically just broth. You can see this clearly in the attached video, the first soup shown is the empty one. It was tasty and felt healthy, but the stress of having to question and return it ruined the experience. We were told they “didn’t pay attention” when preparing it, which is unacceptable. It then took another 15–20 minutes to bring the soup back.
We placed our full order around 6:00–6:20 PM, including an appetizer and one main course to share. The gap between the appetizer and main course was one full hour, and in total we waited about 1 hour and 30 minutes for the main dish. Once it arrived, it took us only 9 minutes to eat, and we left immediately out of frustration.
When we asked about the delay, the server admitted she did not place the main course order until almost 45 minutes later because we were “working on the soup.” Instead of being honest earlier, we were given misleading explanations.
The tip was automatically included. If it had not been, I would not have tipped given the service and attitude.
Finally, the ladies’ restroom was unacceptable: only one restroom for a large restaurant, very dirty, and no baby-changing accommodations.
Summary:
Good food and nice decor are not enough. Poor hospitality, rude host behavior, lack of honesty, long delays, and basic facility issues completely ruined what should have been a great experience. Management seriously needs to address front-of-house training and accountability.
Our server Ayeli was kind, professional and attentive to our dining needs.
Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
