NUNA — Restaurant in Miami

NUNA truly is a culinary experience but it has spectacular hits and some unfortunate misses. First, this is a hard working staff and the Managerial team of two oustanding young ladies absolutley makes you feel special and in a 5 Star atmosphere. We are locals and were here for the Miami Spice menu. The menu is superb and lets address the HIGHLIGHTS first. The Ceviche is the FINEST I have ever tasted. The generous portion explodes in your mouth with each bite. My finacee is Peruvian and she is an incredible ceviche critic...we both give 10 stars out of 5...it was that delicious. The FLAN for dessert. I usually avoid Flan because of jello like texture and lack of flavor. THIS FLAN is WORLD CLASS. whatever magic the chef put into this Flan worked wonders. Spectacular. I wanted to lick the plate but couldn't do it in a FOUR SEASONS. FRIES. there is no Saltado without FRIES and these were crispy and delicious. They saved the Saltado...see below MEDIOCRE The Surf and Turf Saltado. I understand what the chef was trying to accomplish but it didn't work. Traditional peruvian Saltado is created in a wok and the protein is seared at high heat. While the Filet was tender and tasty, it lacked body and was a bit mushy instead of nice and firm. The Turf? was non existent or microscopic. Highly disappointing. what saved it were the juices ---absolutley delicious which were soaked up by the 5 star fries. LOWLIGHT Bluefin Tuna Tacos. Sounds great, right. Absolute disaster. The Taco shells were hard and lacked any taste. Cardboard pure and simple. There was virtually NO Tuna just a paste of avacado. Put a Taco Bell, Taco supreme in front of me rather than this. I am NOT overstating it. Postive Note-----the manager recieving my feedback on the Tacos insisted on giving me the Ceviche as a substitute. SHE saved the day. I would absolutely return to NUNA because of the SERVICE, the Atmosphere and the Highlights I noted. They were THAT OUTSTANDING. If you avoid the menu shortfalls....you will have a...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Culinary Gem in Downtown Miami. NUNA is Perfection

From the moment we arrived at NUNA, nestled inside the prestigious Four Seasons Hotel in Downtown Miami, we knew we were in for something extraordinary. This upscale Peruvian restaurant exceeded every expectation and delivered one of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time.

We were a group of four and decided to fully indulge — sampling most of the items on their menu — and not one dish disappointed. Each plate was a work of art, perfectly balanced in flavor, texture, and presentation. The freshness of the ingredients and the precision of the execution reflect a deep respect for traditional Peruvian cuisine with an elevated, contemporary twist.

Our server was phenomenal! Warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He was genuinely enthusiastic about the menu, answered all of our questions with care, and helped us pair our cocktails with the dishes we ordered (the cocktail list is spectacular, by the way — each drink was layered, inventive, and beautifully crafted).

Midway through our meal, the manager came by our table, and she was a delight. She shared the story behind NUNA, how the concept came together, and walked us through the menu’s highlights with passion and insight. It made us appreciate the experience on a deeper level.

We chose to sit outdoors just before sunset, and the ambiance was absolutely dreamy. As the sun dipped below the skyline, string lights lit up the deck, casting a golden glow over the space and creating the most romantic atmosphere. It felt like a scene from a movie.

NUNA is more than just a restaurant, it’s a journey through culture, flavor, and hospitality. Whether you’re a local or visiting Miami, do yourself a favor and make a reservation. You won’t just have dinner, you’ll have an...

Finding a Nikkei restaurant in Miami is becoming easier nowadays… finding a good one … that’s the problem… And Nuna did not deliver. You expectations are high… top 50 best chefs in the world opens a new restaurant in Miami, Four Seasons… Maido gets #1 best restaurant in the world and they are a true Nikkei restaurant… you’d think you’re going to find the next big hit in Miami… unfortunately it poorly delivered on those bold flavors, unique blend of Peruvian Japanese plates … we tried every main dish our server suggested ($1000 bill) let me describe what stood out, what didn’t: By the way the menu is extremely confusing and the servers need to simplify it …

Did: blue fin tuna tacos, and tuna tartare (great) Desserts: great (very good)

Didn’t: Nuna ceviche … chewy fish, very mild flavors, not great at all… arroz con pato… $75 seemed overpriced for this dish but that’s what made Mayta (#39 in the world ) stood out and the one here was turned into a bowl size dish that just seemed very safe and unqualified to be star dish… sushi… just very very poor… disappointing… the excessive smoke on the chicken yakiniku did not make for a great experience … lomo saltado surf & turf … ehhhh not terrible but not great ..

A few tweaks, better music selection, better vibe, fresher fish, and better help from the servers could help. The arroz con pato needs to be elevated, the sushi needs a complete change and it’s got a chance to be a decent place....
