El Patio Restaurant – Bar Habana – La Terraza Rooftop — Restaurant in Miami Beach

El Patio is gorgeous!

Now, generally speaking, I look up Google reviews for places before going. I did so in this case and decided to go.

When I arrived a really nice woman out front aporoached me and told me all about what the restaurant was offering and invited me in. Which I know is pretty common for SoBe businesses, but it was nice to be invited!

Anthony was my server and he was very kind and attentive. Also passionate about the business, because when I mentioned thinking about the yuca fries, his eyes lit up and he said they were so good.

They were! I had yuca fries, chicken wings - which were on a $1 each deal (Thursdays, minimum of 8) and the meatball. The wings were very good as well as all dipping sauces provided for the yuca fries. However, the star of the show was the meatball. OH EM GEEEEE!

The venue is lovely and I was told that they have live music and dancing sometimes on weekends, weather permitting.

They also have happy hour drink specials and I had an...

A Memorable Dinner at El Patio Restaurant

Our evening at El Patio was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience.

A special thank you to Ingrid, Juan, and Pamela for going above and beyond to make our night so special. Ingrid’s warm welcome and attention to detail ensured we felt right at home.

El Patio Habana La Terraza is a must-visit! From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome from Ingrad set the tone, and our outstanding server Candela made the evening even more enjoyable. The entire team was fantastic and truly made us feel at home.

The chicken kabobs absolutely stole the show—juicy, tender, and bursting with smoky flavor, they were simply unforgettable. The rotisserie half chicken was also excellent, with crisp skin and perfectly cooked meat, and the crispy French fries were a great side.

Drinks made the night even better. The chocolate martini was indulgent and smooth, the Smokey Old Fashioned was bold and beautifully crafted, and the house cabernet paired perfectly with the meal.

The atmosphere tied it all together—lively and welcoming, with a terrace setting that felt festive yet relaxed.

All in all, it was a fantastic dining experience with delicious food, great drinks, and top-notch service from Ingrad, Candela, and the entire team....
