Had an amazing dinner at the Ocean Grill. I have always passed by this restaurant whenever I run or bike along the tracks… Thank god I finally dedicated time to visit this place for dinner. The ambiance is just gorgeous… music is at perfect volume, tables have enough space between eachother. The food was excellent… Best of all the service received from the team was great… Friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Receptionist welcomed me with a sweet smile and Amanda who looked after me is an absolute gem! She was kind… anticipates my needs without being intrusive, was kind and with genuine smiles at all times. Thank you Ocean Grill team! ❤️

This restaurant is truly one of the finest seaside dining experiences I have had the pleasure of visiting. Situated right by the beach, it offers a breathtaking ocean view that instantly sets a relaxing and luxurious mood. The moment you step in, you can feel the calm breeze, hear the waves in the background, and enjoy a setting that perfectly blends sophistication with serenity.
The food here is exceptional — every dish feels thoughtfully prepared with fresh ingredients and a focus on authentic flavors. You can taste the freshness in every bite, from appetizers to main courses. The presentation is elegant yet unpretentious, and the flavors strike a perfect balance between creativity and comfort. The wine and cocktail collection is equally impressive, with a wide variety to suit every taste and occasion.
The service deserves special mention. The servers were polite, attentive, and genuinely cared about ensuring a pleasant dining experience. What truly stood out was their honesty and professionalism — I accidentally left my phone behind, and the team kept it safely until I returned. That small gesture spoke volumes about their integrity and hospitality.
Whether you’re planning a romantic evening, a family dinner, or simply want to unwind by the beach with a good drink, this place has everything you could ask for — an incredible view, top-notch food, and a warm, trustworthy team. A must-visit spot for anyone who loves fine dining with a touch of the sea breeze.

Ocean Grill at The Setai is one of my favorite hidden gems in Miami Beach — the perfect spot for a relaxed yet refined lunch by the sea. I was in town for meetings and stopped by for a casual afternoon meal, and it completely exceeded expectations.
The setting is stunning — open air, gentle ocean breeze, crisp linen tables overlooking the water. The service was impeccable: attentive, kind, and perfectly timed without ever feeling rushed. The menu reflects elegant simplicity — fresh ingredients, beautifully plated dishes, and a strong Mediterranean influence.
If you’re visiting for events or staying nearby, I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time. This is one of those places that’s always in demand, especially during peak conference and travel seasons.
A glass of champagne, the sound of the waves, and a few hours here — that’s what Miami should feel like. ✨

We had two visits here once for lunch without a reservation and once for dinner where we had booked. The food is delicious and service great. The key lime pie was so good! We enjoyed the overall experience in the restaurant and recommend.

This place is wonderful. The resturant is beach side and every seat has a view and a cool breeze. The vibe is very relaxed and nothing is rushed. A reservation is highly reccomended but we got super lucky and got a seat walking in for lunch. The menu is great and has everything from oysters to steaks to salads and pastas and more. Everything we tried was delicious! The vibe here is too good and would reccomend this as one of the top places to eat on Miami Beach!!

Very nice outdoor venue, food was good for the beach. Service was great. Atmosphere is hit or miss if it’s hot it’s hot, if it’s breezy it’s perfect. Quiet and easy right off the boardwalk so view is oceanfront. Recommend reservation, must wear a beach coverup !

We come to Miami each year during my Bday week and 2 of last 3 years have come here for dinner. The 1st time a couple years ago was fantastic, so we booked here again this year for my Bday dinner. Great location. Food was very good. Great atmosphere. What stuck out however was the absolutely horrible service from our server, Nenad V. He couldn’t have been more smug and rude if he tried. Throughout the night, we had to get his attention for anything—and I mean anything (ordering, empty alcohol glasses, clearing plates, the check). The worst part was that he consistently acknowledged us but continued to just lean back and chat with different staff, who literally were pointing at our table for him, but he went out of his way to dismiss us. I think this may be a product of the “automatic 20%” inherent in the check, so he literally does not care. The hostesses were great, and acknowledged the birthday on the reservation, but this guy never did at all. Sadly he kind of ruined what we had known to be a great experience. I imagine he’s just a bad apple, but it was pretty crappy, so not sure if we’ll be back as there are so many great options in the area. I rarely leave reviews, but this guy was so egregious it was pretty necessary.

I have been many times to the Setai Hotel and absolutely love the hotel. Yesterday I had the first time lunch at the Ocean Grill. I ordered the Pasta with Vodka Sauce and was very disappointed. Small portion on a small plate. Looked like an appetizer. Taste was average nothing special. Also I felt rushed. Would not recommend for lunch.
