It’s one of my favorite Miami spots . Distinguished , contemporary but not pretentious . Food is amazing, wine is notorious. Atmosphere ideal for a good dinner and great talk . Service is personalized and kitchen timings sharp. Bravo Niu team
I am a bit disappointed on the reservation process, might be because they use Resy and not OpenTable or something more common. But the service at the restaurant was good. Since I have lived in Catalonia, I can honestly say that this is very far from a Catalan restaurant, but for people that have never been it might give them a nice idea. The food was good, however the cold tapas are not worth the price, we were four people and we ordered a cheese tapas that cost 10 dollars and we only got 3 slices of cheese and not Idiazabal cheese but probably manchego. Same with the fuet tapa. The eggs with truffle was my favorite, and the artichoke with jamón was also good. We tried the two rices they offered, the butifarra rice was really good with alioli, but the seafood rice was a bit too salty. The ambience is romantic, great for a date night!
Cozy, trendy eatery with decent service. Be aware of the incense stick burning inside the entrance near the table by the front door if you are allergic to fragrance or perfume smoke.Unfortunately, the shallow seafood paella was overly salty. But they were able to accommodate a shrimp allergy.Excellent charcoal oysters with Japanese broth, and excellent octopus carpaccio with garbanzo bean puree. Interesting cold tomato soup with Dijon ice cream. Clams are okay, nicely umami. They added bread to the order without checking with us. Great orange wine by the glass. Rich and chocolatey ganache dessert topped with crostini.I had mentioned my birthday on the Resy reservation but they didn’t mention or celebrate. The bill does not include gratuity nor any pressure to tip so we left 20%. Definitely would recommend for a fun night out.
I was recommended NIU by some locals while visiting miami and I’m glad we were able to get a reservation. Food was unique and delicious. Bronzino was some of the best I’ve ever had. Very nice wine selection as well. Staff was very kind and made excellent recommendations that made our dinner a great experience.
We went out for happy hour with friends and ended up staying for a three hour dinner! We had delicious appetizers such as the charred oysters ( great flavor and presentation ) and clams! The tomato bread was so crunchy and the sardine was full of flavor! We ended up splitting 3 bottles of nice Spanish white wines and the mushroom paella. Overall the dining experience was fantastic, casual yet feels like fine dining because of the excellent food, creativity in the menu, and the outstanding service! NIU kitchen is my new favorite neighborhood restaurant if you want to have a great meal and enjoy the company! Highly recommend it!
