   I went to Playa for my birthday a few days ago, and it was okay, to say the least. The food was pretty good, but they were way too expensive, and I was told I would have to pay for my birthday dessert. The service charge (20%) was also ridiculous, but unfortunately, that's the norm at some restaurants in Miami. The ambiance is nice enough for drinks and getting together with friends. Not a good dinner spot.

   Drinks were way overpriced and not that good, food was alright but prices match a nice steak restaurant but service did not match that vibe. It wasn’t a bad experience but it wasn’t great either.

   Terrible! Expensive overall. But the food was cold had to send back to get “remade”. Appetizer tasted like they were premade/frozen and were just warmed up to be served. Jerk chicken has NO flavor and chicken was tough to cut, just terrible. Lamb chops were just okay. And felt very rushed to be in and out within time frame. Place was very dead at 8pm. Instagram is a lie, I would not be back.

   Service was very slow at first, but the waitress explained it was just her bc the other one called in. Made reservations for a Sunday night and it was not packed at all. Not a very big menu for food or drinks but it was good.

   The food is not good, some menu items aren’t available, drink was good but waitress wasn’t too knowledgeable or not used to questions regarding drinks. Our table wasn’t ready and more importantly I didn’t get a disclosure regarding the deposit will be refunded and full tab was due. The waitress had to go figure out why $175 wasn’t on our tab as a credit when that’s what was told to us for the deposit. Overall not a good experience

   Awful experience. Only redeeming quality was kindness of our server. Furniture was torn and in disrepair. Music was so loud a conversation was impossible (and the lyrics were vulgar and inappropriate). My husband ordered a ribeye. A piece of sliced meat was brought to him that was thin. My lamb chops were not tender. Brussels sprouts were ahhhmazing tho! Our server brought us cocktail napkins when we requested napkins. Later he brought one cloth napkin saying they had no others and handed it to my husband. Our bill (with no cocktails ) was $260 and fast food would have been a better Experience

   Not Impressed at All I was disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. Considering we had to pay a deposit for the reservation and adhere to a dress code, I expected a more elegant dinner, but it was far from that. Firstly, the seating was in poor condition, with holes and torn backs. Secondly, an item on their digital menu was marked as a new addition, but we were told they didn't have it, even though we arrived right when dinner service began. Despite arriving early, we waited an excessively long time for our food, while other guests who arrived after us were served more promptly. The dress code was not enforced consistently, as some guests were seated inside wearing running shorts, beach attire, and tank tops. Additionally, there was only one waiter covering the entire floor, which impacted the overall service quality. To top it off, I had informed them that it was a birthday dinner, yet there was no acknowledgment or effort to make the occasion special. I would not recommend this place for a birthday dinner if you're expecting something nice and elegant.

    Food was delicious. Very well seasoned. Loved the jerk chicken pasta for a party of two. We spent a total of 220. Pricey but good.
