Compared to many other restaurants in SoBe, this was kind of a waste of time. Portions are tiny. The descriptions of menu items aren't very good so most of the time we did not really know what to expect. We had 4 items and left hungry (two people). The most ridiculous thing was crab empanadas. 3 tiny hollow pastries shaped like crabs which we were supposed to fill with crab stew which was brought on the side. This isn't food for kids and I prefer my food to not be deconstructed. Ambiance was boring - nothing special. Will not return.
We made reservations for Valentines night and decided on the pre fixed menu; we had such high expectations of this restaurant! Unfortunately our expectations were not met at all, the courses took forever; service was not good, staff looked lost running around; food was also a big disappointment.... All in all, regret spending $500 bucks here and will not be coming back.
Todo bien recomendable para tener una experiencia de un rest Latino Colombiano con creaciones muy auténticas y sobre todo de buen gusto y nivel, las porciones son pequeñas pero muy sabrosas
The service was absolutely atrocious, and the dining room was freezing cold. The food was good, but not what I expect from a Michelin star restaurant. There was basically no one in the dining room, the decor is very sterile and boring, and the atmosphere is boring as well. Would never come back. Miss The Bazaar that was here previously!
El restaurante no estaba lleno y aún así hubo confusión en la mesa con pedidos de otras mesas. La comida ostenta ser más exquisita de lo que verdaderamente es. Nada sorprendente. Aún así pasamos un momento agradable, pero no volvería.

This was a gastronomic experience! Service and food were exquisite. It was one of the best meals I've ever had anywhere in the world. We will definitely go back when we are in Miami!
Waiter was always busy in another tables. They try to make it sophisticated but it is not. The food is amazing, but they come and tell you a story about every single plate and that's not convincing. Leave the dish to talk about itself. Don't train a waiter to come and tell fairy tales.

I would not recommend this place. The food was just okay, nothing special about it. The service was horrible. Everything took a really long time to come out. They also forgot to tell us they had run out of one of the dishes we ordered, so we just sat there waiting. Even the cocktails are bad. They try to make the cocktails look cool and seem to forget they should actually taste good.

The restaurant should not sell tables along the walkway to the night club and outside bar. The door constantly opening in windy condition makes the dinning experience awful. The restaurant did not change from the previous Jose Andreas set up - I believe neither the furniture nor the decor has changed and looks cheap and dated. The carpet to the restroom is filthy. The service was chaotic and until I brought it to the managers attention ( who seemed to careless ) incredibly and unexplainably slow. Based on the advertisement , I was expecting a culinary experience that never arrived at the table - all show and no substance.

Fatal experiencia La comida bastante pobre , los camarones no estaban limpios te tenían la tira negra de suciedad , el chicharrón de hamachi fatal chicharrón de puerco económico , la sopa de cebolla buena pero muy poca porción La empanadas de jaiba X Mucha confusión y detalle en el cambio de platos y cubiertos
Elegant, Delcious and Very Miami Dining Experince. Colombian cuisine done with aromas, foams, and flavors rich in taste. Knowledgeable Staff and welcoming Host team. In the Heart of South Beach. I am a Art the Concierge and I highly Reccomend El Cielo South Beach!

Outstanding! An incredible experience throughout. Unique and delicious food items. Stellar service. Highly recommend this restaurant Planning to go back soon and bring others to enjoy it all.
"The food was nothing but disappointing, the place feels dead, we paid and went to try Katsuya which is anlso managed by them and it was another disappointment, we wouldn't recommend this place at all. Manager was nice and so was server but the place needs a lot of help when it comes to the menu, chef and space design and vibe." Terrible experience.
Incredible experience. Food was creative delicious and a great change from the usual. Every bite was full of color, texture and taste with a great presentation. Service was impecable without being intrusive. Well with it.

Located in the SLS Hotel on Collins Ave at 17th St just north of the South Beach area. The is valet parking but this can be pricy. If you're willing to walk a few minutes, there is a municipal lot at 2101 Collins Ave that is a bit less. Jovany our waiter was exceptional and made a very good recommendation of trying different tapas from the different menus. He was very informative & personable. We were not rushed at all. Service was impeccable and as we got the steady stream of delicious tapas, we also got an explanation of what they were. As we ordered several tapas, Jovany helped us keep track of which ones we were ordering. It also may have helped on our part for us to keep a written list for reference. We started with a Cava, Spanish sparkling wine. We ordered conch fritters with the sauce inside, Cubano, coffee rubbed churrasco skirt steak, black rossejat a paella, croquettes with ham, watermelon & tomato skewers and smoked oysters. Seven tapas were delicious, although they all had five portions. Six would have been more helpful for sharing purposes. Portions were small but each tapa was very interesting & flavorful. They also have a great dessert menu.We could not decide so we asked Jovany to choose between the keylime pie and the flan. He chosed the flan for us and it was a wow! The place is pricy but that is to be expected in the South Beach area. We will go back.
