We found this place while searching for a good restaurant to satisfy our craving for good Spanish food in Miami. The items in the menu are quite authentic, just keep in mind that you will have to wait particularly for the paella because it takes some time to prepare.
The live music is outstanding in fact they constantly bring new groups from Spain so it is very diverse.
I find it to be a bit overpriced but the overall ambiance and service makes it less painful to drop a pretty penny.
Come with good friends and enjoy a good pitcher of Sangria or an excellent bottle of wine - you can definitely make good memories in this place.

The place is really nice, beautiful location and decoration gives that spanish atmosphere,live show(spanish style Tuna singers around tables performing typical songs waiting for tips at every table)
Let's talk about business...I gave 2 stars because I think the service is not the best one considering the prices of food there,waiters are not very friendly( most of them senior guys with grumpy faces) we didn't wait too much for food but when it finally was served wasn't as good as expected,we ordered roasted pig wich was way too roasted and lack of flavor (served with spinach and home made mashed potato) the other guest ordered lamb in some kind of wine marinade(forgot the name) wich I tried and it was also lack of flavor, portions were big but  really not DELICIOUS. we also had sangria and flan(caramel custard) as dessert wich was really good but you can find flans like that one at any cuban or latin restaurant in Miami for a quarter of the price of this place.I give 3 stars just for the nice place and decoration, not for the food,service or prices wich I found way too expensive for the low quality of food

Fideua anyone??  Yes they have it. Probably the only place with authentic Fideua.

For the most part in Miami a Spanish restaurant is "Cuban whose great great grandparents were from somewhere in Spain" - sorry but its true. SO for anyone who has actually had  Spanish food lN Spain you want to come here, l don't know who the owners are, but they were able to capture real Spanish cuisine.  

HERE it is AUTHENTlC!  The paella is fantastic, and the Fideua just like you get in La Opera in Barcelona.  

Pricey, yes, but worth it if you want Spanish food.

Sangria anyone??

Amazing basque food, but I can't say the prices are too friendly.  The lamb shank is amazing, the steak is amazing, and of course, the paella.  You have to go to this place at least once.

Nothing really bad about this place, nothing great about this place either.

Being vegetarian , I am probably not the best to critique Spanish cuisine.

Inside it felt a little old school, but service was great and prompt.

Food a little greasier than what I am used to but maybe it's because we were from California.

It is a rare occasion that you can find lamb shank at a restaurant and even more rare is when it is fabulous!  Very tender and fresh. Remember, this is a dish that is braised, so it is not cooked when you order it, rather in quantity ahead of time. It had a pan sauce on it from the braising liquid that was really great and the dish was accompanied by roasted cauliflower and mashed potatoes which were yummy.  
The staff and most of the customers are Spanish speaking, so I was the minority there which was cool and different. I felt like I was in a restaurant in Cuba rather than Miami, it was very authentic.  Our appetizers were equally as good, we ordered the pickled anchovies which normally I would not try but did and glad I did.  We also had a appetizer plate with some Spanish cheeses and cured meats with a wonderful potato salad.
This place is not cheap so bring it with you.  
Service was top notch and the atmosphere was sort of Elk's lodge.
Wonderful, different and very well run.  Highly recommended.

I had an extrordinary experience at this place, although I have not been here in a long time.  I still remember it very well.  I had the lobster and it was delicous!!! Everything from the appetizer to the dessert was so good, seriously!
