Jaya is an unreal experience. The food is unbelievable. I have been at least ten times and it always blows me away. This restaurant is a must. Not only is the food exceptional, but the ambiance is magnificent. You get to see extremely talented performers and listen to upbeat and fun music. The drinks are also delicious but definitely expensive so I would recommend simply going for the food and having a drink either before or after on your own. But, if you want to spend a little extra then get the Lychee martini.

Great restaurant! The food is high quality. Our only problem was Google maps headshot to the back of the hotel and you must enter through the front. Otherwise, the experience was great.

Makoto is my favorite restaurant! The food is always delicious! The only thing I wish they could improve, is the noise level. When it gets crowded, it is pretty loud. I went there for my friend’s birthday and we both loved it and had a wonderful time! I highly recommend it!

It was our first time there and it was for our anniversary. Zoi has easily become our new favorite Miami restaurant with 5 stars across the board. We're going to take a few friends out for dinner there this Friday when they have a belly dancer and are really looking forward to that experience as well.
