    Dining at Essencia is always a 5 star experience! The menu changes with the seasons and the meals never disappoint. The service is exceptional as well. Look forward to dining here again the next time we are in Miami.

    For the high prices, food was awful to mediocre. I could not even cut the octopus which was small and $30 for appetizer. The grilled summer veggies were not even warm and very under done. What was supposed to be a medley basically had bell peppers and broccoli and carrots. Service was ok but with the debacle of the whole meal, I would have expected a manager to stop by table and apologize or offer an explanation but nothing. Theee was a very very loud wedding just outside dining area that was so raucous you couldn’t have a conversation. I’ve had better food, service and atmosphere at a longhorn.

    We ate dinner here while staying at The Palms resort. Staff was so attentive and pleasant. Food was really great! Everyone at our table ordered a different entre and we were all happy with our choices. Would definitely dine here again!

    It was a poor experience. Considering that they only had two tables to serve, it took 45 minutes to get our order and the food was overcooked. In the meantime, the waiter brought our drinks quickly and we haven't seen him until he brought our order. No update on the food or if we wanted another drinks. The senior Food and Beverage manager came to our table when we asked for the bill and offered to take over the bill. She was very professional and it was a nice gesture. We payed for our drinks and leaved a tip but we won't be back.

    We did a mini tasting menu of all of the appetizers! The food was very good and the outside dining was a very nice atmosphere. Very chill.

    Excellent service and delicious food. We are planning to go back a few more times during our visit to try things we weren’t able to try. Veg friendly; they even have a veg prix fix menu on Mondays.
