I had my birthday dinner here set up by my husband and it was such a great time. We had our table right on the water, and he had it set up to have the table cloth and the personalized menu with a message to me. It was so cute and such a nice touch! The food felt very fresh and not heavy at all. All our meals were delicious and we left full and satisfied. The views and the breeze were beautiful for a Sunday night. We really enjoyed ourselves. I would love to return again soon!

I loved coming here with my friends, the place is definitely a vibe. It's great for a date or large groups. It was only 4 of us, but we could have definitely brought others to come along. The service was on point. The food was so delicious and fresh, can't wait to go back with the rest of my family to try their weekend brunch

Food was very good; and appreciated the wine list which had a wide variety and selection. Service was great - very attentive at all levels...from valet to hostess to waitress...ambiance is very beach like with a day club ambiance's. Was a very nice experience. By the way....the tostones were fire

Fantastic experience! You definitely must go if you are in Miami! This place will stay on top of my list in Miami. Everything about it was just great! We live in NYC, and we go to tons of restaurants, but we were so pleasantly surprised by Amara at Paraiso. AMBIENCE The restaurant inside is very high-end and spectacular, but their outdoor terrace is even more fantastic. Their location is in a residential area, and it gives a vibe of a very affluent local spot. The crowd looked like they all just walked out of the magazine's front cover (luckily, we did, too! Hahah)! The outdoor sitting area faces the water, and you just enjoy everything together! Also, the outdoor terrace stands right next to the path walk, and you will see lots of beautiful dogs! FOOD We ordered every appetizer they had and were not disappointed for a second. We had lots of raw fish, and everything was fresh (I had a few bad experiences in Miami). All the dishes had lots of attention in terms of sauce, taste, and visual elements. I will say that whatever you order - you will not go wrong with that. SERVICE The service was of the highest standard. A few people were working with our table, and everyone was attentive to every detail. The manager was charming, and she helped me with a few questions. I honestly cannot be very detailed here because everything was great. The location, food, and service matched in one big: "I will keep returning to this place whenever I am in Miami."

Firstly, I didn't eat here I only had a drink so you can skip this if you're interested in food info. With that in mind I'm giving 5 stars and it's really just based on what I was able to judge. We arrived on a Friday in March at around 6:30. We wanted to do happy hour and the place is big but the bar is small so there was no space to be comfortable and enjoy drinks so we basically said F it and got a table. They wouldn't offer us happy hour prices with service at the table even with this in mind so I certainly wish we were welcomed with more flexibility but we weren't. There were plenty of tables available outside. Outside has a gorgeous view of the Miami skyline and a bridge. It was a nice looking spot for sure. I can't believe that I was about to pay $32 for one coconut drink but here is where I found myself. Well dammit. That coconut drink was gaaaaaaaas. It was delicious. I now want to put cinnamon in all of my piña coladas. But that wasn't the only thing that made it good. It had pebble ice, was silky smooth, fresh and delicious. A "refresh" costs $20 and we almost got one too! They were damn delicious. I would come back and have the same experience again. Pricey but tasty.

Some of the best seafood I've had!! Wow everything just melted in my mouth. We got the fish dip, which at first I was a bit hesitant about but when I tried it I couldn't stop eating it! Everything was so good! Highly recommend coming here. We came during happy hour and wanted to sit outside by the water only to realize that they only do happy hour inside by the bar. We chose to sit outside and not do happy hour since it was so nice outside. Our server was so sweet too! We were originally sitting under the patio but later wanted to move closer to the water and she let us move there. Highly recommend coming here!!

Amara is located in Edgewater with gorgeous waterfront views, but knowing Miami be careful the time of day when you make that reservation to not get rained out. The service team at Amara was great and they were super attentive to our large-ish party. They brought drinks out quickly and were always around if we needed anything. Like any great table - we all shared the dished so I got to try a little of everything. The ceviche was great - not too salty and the fish was very fresh, I personally would have loved some more onions for that extra crunch and sweetness. The short rib empanadas just WOW! The filling is stunning and the meat is so nice and tender and well flavored and the empanada dough is light. Just a really amazing empanada. We also got the seafood parillada and the fish were cooked well but at a steep $170 I can't convince myself that it was worth all that. The arroz verde was great and the veggies were flavorful and was a light and refreshing dish, and the romanesco and egg brought a creaminess to it. The grilled cauliflower was really great, I just wish there was a little more acid to the sauce as it really bordered the line of too sweet. Overall Amara is a stunning restaurant with great views and good food.- with the empanada taking the MVP award. Note: they do valet for a fee but you can find street parking in this residential area (good luck)

Amara at Paraiso is a seafood restaurant located in Edgewater with a gorgeous waterfront views! Parking can be a little tricky since it's in a residential area so street parking/ride share is your best bet! They do have valet but heard there could be some limitations. We came on a Tuesday for $1 oysters! We got there a little early to take advantage of happy hour as well. We ordered the chorizo, fish dip and yuca cheese puffs! My favorite was the fish dip and I loved that they serve it with tostones. The oysters were fresh and so flavorful! I really enjoyed them! The service was also very quick and friendly! The server constantly checked on us! Highly recommended stopping by on Tuesday if you like oysters!
