Larios On The Beach - Miami Beach

Miami Spice 2017: A wonderful option among the numerous touristy restaurants. As a local, I typically steer clear of beachside dining because they often...

During an evening stroll in South Beach, I was on the lookout for a new restaurant to try when I came across Larios On The Beach. I couldn’t be more pleased with this delightful find!

If you’re in search of outstanding Cuban cuisine in South Beach, Larios is the place to be. The decor is amazing, the service is exceptional (a special mention to our waiter, Daniel), and the food is delightful...

We just sat down for a couple of beers, and our server, Mayra P, handed us the final bill without providing any summary of the charges. This led to us unintentionally double-tipping for service that was less than satisfactory. The bill for four beers included a 15% tip, and when we signed the credit card slip, we were unaware that we were adding an extra $3.00 tip. It is totally unacceptable that the original receipt wasn't presented alongside the credit card slip for us to review before signing.

My group just had a wonderful evening at Larios. The food was fantastic, and the waitstaff were incredibly attentive. My job takes me around the world, so I've experienced both great and terrible restaurants and service. I was surprised to see the negative reviews about Larios and felt compelled to share my own experience after enjoying a lovely dinner there tonight. I visit Larios every year when I'm in Miami Beach. I've had one bad waiter in the past, but overall, the food and service are consistently good. Tonight was excellent!
