we had a wonderful and adventurous meal at Itamae. we sit at the Chef’s Counter and we had close interactions with the Chef and the wait staff. The servers were very attentive, professional and knowledgable about the ingredients, the tastes and how they prep the food. We were awed by the contrast of the texture, the freshness of the fish, the surprised sensation of the flavors, and the beautiful presentation. Overall it was a great experience!
Great take on Japanese and Perivian fusion. Staff is very friendly and both indoor and outdoor worth seating. I would be cautious with the large portion size. Order less and reorder if needed, ceviches are HUGE! Wine are good although likes US wines.
Amazing menu and food! My girlfriend and I sampled the menu from start to finish and everything was impeccably executed. The wine and apéritif selection is also top notch and features organic, biodynamic, and off the beaten path producers that pairs perfectly with the menu. The service was also as good as it gets. Chef Chang is a very nice and personable man who took the time out to talk to us while we dined at the chef’s counter. His passion for his cooking truly shows. Itamae was worth the visit 10x over!
Foodies unite! This is your top tier dining experience in Miami. I’m from Orlando and took a food trip to MIA trying many of the Michelin and James Beard awarded restaurants. By far, Itamae was the most exceptional, my favorite, and a must try for any foodie. The satisfaction of each item is 110%. This is a chef who has mastered his craft and is now pushing the envelope in new and exciting ways. He manages to create a sense of nostalgia and playfulness on his dishes. If you live in Miami or are visiting definitely make Itamae a stop.

THE CHEF
It is headed by Bravo’s Top Chef Season 13’s Winner, Chef Jeremy Ford. When the show was filmed, he was Jean-Georges Vongerichten's right-hand man at the Matador Room in Miami Beach. A Florida native, the 32-year-old chef also studied under Ludo Lefebvre in Los Angeles. He has been devoted to cooking since he met his maternal grandmother at the age of 14.
