Pasión Miami

My only observation is that apparently it is a decent place and I observed how they exploit their employees doing jobs that are not their responsibility, they had their staff outside working on gardening work as if they were still in Cuba. The owner is a cheapskate.

We had dinner at Pasion Restaurant for our first time Friday. Once inside, the restaurant was attractive, inviting and quiet. I ordered the octopus starter which was large enough to share. It was tasty and quite tender. The other couple shared a burrata salad which they raved about. For the main course, I had the black paella which was delicious. My wife enjoyed her branzino immensely. Portions were fairly large but I had room for desert—the Fondant de Chocolate-which was extremely good and visually dramatic. Our companions shared a cuatro leches which they praised.
Our server- Jenny- was professional and knew the menu well. Prices were reasonable and the wine list was limited but good. This place is a gem and we hope it does well.

What a great find! Got together with a group of fiends and were looking for a place to dine and chat. Went to the wine place across the street but it was very loud and decided to cross the street and try Pasión restaurant. What a wonderful place! The service was top notch and the food excellent. We had various dishes and desserts and everything was awesome: The unique thing is that they are part of the culinary school across the street and the students have the opportunity to participate in the kitchen with the chefs. Really liked this place! Go try it.

Just Outstanding! The best paella I have had in a long time. Service was excellent! I used the Miami Spice menu and Im definetely going back!

AMAZING experience! From the ambiance & attention to food & dessert. Definitely 1000% recommended. Come check them out ASAP!

My partner and I were in Miami for a night before flying out and decided to give this place a shot based on the other awesome reviews. And I have to say, they're spot on. You'd be hard pressed to find a restaurant with better food, service, or prices. Everything we ate had unique ingredients/flavors and was absolutely delicious. Our server Rene was delightful as well and talked with us for a while about the culinary training program they do there, which is so cool. A really excellent place for a nice dinner!

I had the grouper with almonds and asparagus, what I dish!
I was delighted with our server, she took amazing care of us. I definitely will be coming back with my family next week, I wanted to order the desert but I was so full I didn’t get the chance. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience an intimate restaurant with amazing food.

A hidden gem! Service was great and food was perfect. Desserts were amazing!
Great job!

Amazing! Food super delicious by Chef Ernesto and the service by Rene and Viviana excellent! Thank you guys for everything and make the moment so comfortable.

Good food. And done pretty quickly.
Wine by the glass a very expensive at $14 a glass. Also desert was tiny, not enough to order 1 for a group. Over very expensive $$$ Otherwise they appear to take great care to prepare a very good plate. Rene the server was absolutely excellent!

Best place to eat and share with your family and friends! Very elegant and homey! Riquísima la comida! Es una experiencia única disfrutar de un restaurante ESCUELA! Let’s support the Culinary students and have a GREAT time!

Beautiful little spot! The food is absolutely delicious, the service is exceptional and the deserts are just amazing!
I took my family last weekend and we had a great experience. We didn’t expect the area to have such classy and high end food restaurants, we were definitely pleased. I recommend it 100%

Amazing dining experience! The food was delicious, and the service was great as well. Very nice restaurant, I highly recommend trying it.

Pasions is a like a restaurant speakeasy in Calle Ocho! We were suprísely impressed with the place. It was small (30 tables including outside) tables were adorned with white table cloth. The minute we opened the door Rene was very welcoming and attentive to our needs and educated us on their menu and the birth of the restaurant.
The dishes were well curated with great presentation and the taste was great. We recommend the Paella, the tuna tartar and of course the croquetas de bacalau! Desert was very good as well. Give them an opportunity to dazzle your palette!

I'm left speechless as to why this place isn't packed and crazy booked all the time. One of the few times in my life where I can say that this place meets every check mark. Beyond my expectations. 5 star service. 5 star food. 5 star quality. These are culinary student chefs from the school near by along with a professional chef who prepare these dishes and recipes. Once this place gets discovered they are going to need a bigger place. Brunch was fantastic. The French toast and the eggs Benedict are perfection. The lobster linguini is crazy good and the Salmon tartar is nothing short of amazing. I will be visiting again very soon. I would rather spend my money here and get REAL 5 star service and food instead of placing Russian roulette with other places.
