Such a beautiful spot with amazing vibes! The decor is gorgeous, the music was on point, and the service made the whole experience feel elevated but still fun. We started with a couple cocktails (the Dragon Berry Sidecar and Strawberry Lemon Drop—both SO good), and then had the Caesar and Cobb salads which were super fresh and flavorful. For mains, we tried the petite filet and the sweet chili glazed salmon—and let me just say, I don’t usually love salmon but this one completely changed my mind. It was perfectly cooked and not fishy at all. Everything came out beautifully plated and the atmosphere just tied it all together. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

When my husband and I arrived, we were under the impression that the restaurant was closed because it was dark inside, and there was no one to greet us at the door upon our arrival. Once inside, we stood at the front for a good while before anyone came over to greet and seat us. The female who eventually came over, asked if we had a reservation; which we did. However Im unsure why it would have made a difference because the restaurant only had two other patrons inside and remained empty up until we were about to leave. Once seated, so many different staff interacted with my husband and I that we didn't know who would be servicing our table. I ordered the salmon, which is supposed to come with 2 sides. However we were told they had neither and my salmon would be served with broccoli. My husband ordered the steak, macaroni and mashed potatoes... only to be told they didn't have any mashed potatoes. When the food came out we were quite disappointed with the lack there of. In all honesty, we go out to eat on a consistent basis and I must say that I've never received such a small portion of food as I did at Playa. I was done with my salmon in a few bites. Both the salmon and broccoli were salty. After dinnner I don't typically order desert, but because my dinner portion was so small, we requested a dessert menu. We were then told that the only option was plain cheesecake. We tried to make the best of it, as it was my husbands birthday and didn't want to ruin the night. However, I truly feel like there is more emphasis placed on the aesthetics of the restaurant than it is on service and the food quality. Lastly, after paying the bill and arriving home I realized that I was never credited the $50 that I was initially charged to make the dinner reservation. This entire experience was an epic fail. Definitely won't be taking the 45 plus minute drive back to Miami for a second take.

I had the jerk chicken pasta, baked mac & cheese, and those calamari rings—and let me tell you, every bite was a home run. The jerk pasta had the perfect balance of spice and creaminess, the mac & cheese was rich and bubbly comfort food, and the calamari rings were golden-crispy with just the right kick. And seriously, the plating was stunning—each dish looked as good as it tasted. The vibe was very chill, nice ambience to it. My table’s waiter John was very well mannered and carried out our orders to a T. Absolute, above and beyond service.

Ordered 2 baked mac and cheese with steak and lamb chops. Asked for both to be medium and they came out well done and flavorless. Mac and cheese were okay. Steak said it came with the bone which was a lie. The wait time was an hour plus. The music was loud it was impossible to communicate. The restaurant was dirty but they played good music. 224 dollars for everything I feel robbed.

The reason I rated the way I did is because the food was not to my expectations I thought it was be better it was ok I could make it at a backyard Bbq the vibe was amazing though. The music the atmosphere was great. But the service was not the best. The website and what they tell you are different and the person who took my friends order was rude
