Bargean Miami - Miami (FL)

4 /5 James Klein: I’m torn about how to review this place. The ambiance is inviting, with a spacious, open layout that suggests they host dancing or live performances at times. We started with appetizers: meatballs served on tostones and lamb empanadas. The meatballs were decent but unremarkable, while the lamb empanadas were a highlight. The filling was rich and flavorful, though the choice of cheap, fried empanada dough felt mismatched. For mains, I ordered the Wagyu steak, which was disappointing. Having enjoyed exceptional Wagyu in Japan, I found this cut overly fatty and slightly chewy, lacking the melt in Your mouth quality I expected. A standard churrasco might have been a better choice. On the other hand, the fish dish was excellent, and the desserts were a pleasant finish. While the food was mostly decent, the pricing was a major letdown. Located in Little Havana, the cost felt exorbitant for the quality and portion sizes were easily twice what I’d expect to pay. I give it 4 stars because the food wasn’t bad, but the value just isn’t there. I won’t be returning.

5 /5 Indiana Lanzas: My friend and I had reservations at this restaurant at 5 PM. We arrived early and it was raining. So we were waiting by the front door. After a bit, this lady comes out and offers for us to wait for the rain to pass inside and sit at the restaurant. I had informed her that we actually had reservations for 5 PM. She did not know and immediately welcomed us to sit anywhere. She clarified that she’s one of the owners but she was covering that day. I thanked her for letting us in early before the restaurant officially opened, especially without her knowing of our reservation. She gave us the menus and turned on the music once we chose a table. My friend and I ordered a cocktail with the bartender, who approached our table and provided some suggestions. A few minutes later we placed our order from the Miami Spice Menu. We tried the meatball tostones, house lamb empanadas, branzino filet with coconut rice and fries, pavlova and eclipse- the night fall. Everything was so tasty and delicious. My least favorite dish was the lamb empanadas. They were not bad but I’m just not a big lamb eater. However, the sauces it came with were delicious. The meatball tostones were also very good The green sauce elevated the dish. The branzino was tasty but my favorite part of the main course was the coconut rice. It took rice to a whole level with the crispy coconut on top. I wish I had that recipe. As to the desserts, I loved both of them. I’m not a big chocolate eater either but the eclipse was delicious. I would, however, order the pavlova next time I come. It was sweet and light. As to the drinks, I tried the Ooopa, which was very delicious. If you like margarita, I would recommend this drink. The bartender also surprised us with a welcome complimentary drink, which was also delicious! The bartender also made sure we liked everything we ordered. Before we left, he also gave us a chip for us to have a complimentary drink on our next visit. The owner also came by and ensured we liked everything, which we did. The decoration of the restaurant reminded me of being in Greece. It was decorated with the evil eyes on the tables, which I thought was very unique. On one side of the restaurant, there’s a very nice photo opportunity area where there’s a swing with flowers around it. The bathroom was also very nice decorated, clean smelled good. I would definitely return to this establishment as I felt like I was at another country with the decoration, delicious food and superb customer service.

5 /5 Juan Joya: We enjoyed a lot our experience. Service was great and we had a nice dinner. They have some great tostones and the steak align with the chimichurri was tasty. They have an on going traditional music too. Wine suggestion was great align with the food.

The service was outstanding! Very knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations and ensuring everything was just right throughout the meal. When it comes to the food, everything from the appetizers to dessert, including some of the most creative cocktails Ive ever had, was perfectly prepared and exceeded expectations. Overall, Bargean is a true gem worth experiencing. Whether youre celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a night out, its the kind of place that transforms an evening into something truly extraordinary. I can’t wait to go back!

5 /5 Red Knives: Fantastic food (so good). Excellent service, great music, super chill and happy vibes. Top it off this night we lucked out with salsa dance class! For our first time in Miami, we lucked out finding this spot.
