Sazon Cubano — Restaurant in Miami Beach

THE HOSTESS WAS BEYOND RUDE!!! First impressions are everything! The hostess is the 1st point of contact when you walk into a restaurant. We are staying at The St. Regis and were given this recommendation by our driver. 1st the hostess yelled at me to go back outside as if she was speaking to a dog We have never experienced or dine at a restaurant that makes you stand outside when you have a reservation… The hostess tune changed when she realized the man standing behind me was my husband. My husband and I look completely different than one another if that tells you anything he is German and I am not. Our reservation was at 7:30pm she walked us to the patio area and gave us a choice of where to sit this was after seeing my husband’s name and our reservation her tune changed. I ordered a lemon drop martini with grey goose that taste like 100% lime juice only. The appetizers were cold we ordered the beef empanadas and the cod croquettes. For dinner I had the lobster which was cold, over salted and tasted overcooked like rubber, I took one small bite and that was all. My entire lobster other than the tiny bite I took was left on my plate the waiter never came back by to ask how our food was or anything at one point I even tried to get the manager’s attention with no luck. Our server came back to take our plates and he looked at the entire lobster left on the plate and didn’t say a word. The food taste like it was already prepared and just reheat it and overcooked. The food also comes out really fast. I was so bothered by the disrespect of the hostess I called back the next morning and spoke to a really nice lady manager however before even speaking to her the host was rude when I asked for a manager asking me for times why do you need to speak to a manager. PLEASE GET BETTER HOST IT WILL BE THE DOWNFALL OF THIS RESTAURANT! The host sure will remember who I am as she stared as our driver picked us back up in front of the restaurant. We probably were at the restaurant for a total of 30 minutes it was that bad we wanted to get out of there. If you are staying at the St. Regis or Aqualina I highly suggest is skip this restaurant you will not get top-notch service like you are staying at the...

Cuban Hospitality and Flavor at Its Best

On a recent trip to Miami Beach with the family, we stumbled upon Sazón Cubano, and I have to say — what a gem! The vibe was festive yet laid-back, and the atmosphere instantly reminded me of old Havana: vibrant colors, music in the background, and that warm island spirit.

My wife ordered the vaca frita, and it was absolutely delicious. The beef was crispy and flavorful, with just the right balance of seasoning. It came with fluffy white rice, yuca, and sweet plantains that were cooked to perfection. The dish was traditional, comforting, and full of that soulful Cuban flavor.

What truly stood out was the outstanding service from Mateo, our waiter. He was kind, professional, and made us feel welcome from the start. He walked us through the menu and even shared some personal recommendations that made a big difference in our dining choices. Mateo really took care of us, and that kind of service is rare these days.
