Calle Dragones Miami - Miami (FL)

5 /5 Trent Michael (mltfilms): Ready to dance the night away, and have a thrilling time in Miami? It’s a Cuban-Asian fusion restaurant that I and other half attended for New Years Eve. Great musicians and locals who breathe a vigor for life and brilliance.

2 /5 David Martinez: Met up with my wife and friend after an earlier meal. I ordered a mojito, which was bland/little flavor/watery but drinkable nonetheless. I asked for another and was delivered an old fashioned instead which I accepted with no hesitation thinking that it may be a better choice. Not good. Whichever ‘house brand’ liquor is used just isn’t good, and the overall taste was honestly, bad. I paid and was not offered a receipt. The bartender just finished the transaction and walked away without asking if I wanted a receipt so i finally got my receipt and saw that I was charged twice for tax. After wasted time speaking to four different staff, I was given a correct receipt by the manager who stated thst it’s an ongoing problem they have been having. Obviously if it’s an ongoing issue, they should review the charges before the transaction is finalized, rather than keeping an additional 7 or 8 percent tax for themselves at every transaction. Now I need to waste time reviewing my account so that i am not charged for two transactions for the same items. And, to little surprise, no apology whatsoever from the manager. Afterwards, we walked to Cafe La Trova, which was absolutely packed and were greeted warmly at the door, directed to the rear bar where there was more seating, had exquisite drinks and bartending staff was friendly and accurate with the tab.

5 /5 David LaBarr: I flew down to Miami for 3 hours to give this restaurant a try. I had heard about Cuban/Asian cuisine, and this seems to be one of the best AND only examples of it nationwide. I will note that I showed up right at opening and before any entertainment. Carolina welcomed me and personally spent time telling me about the restaurant and Cuban/asian cuisine history. She and Orlando at the bar both were patient in helping me choose some dishes that showed the culinary fusion very well. I am astounded at how good every. single. dish was. I would recommend everything I tried, with maybe a priority on the maripositas chinas. They somehow slow-roast the pork for 24 hours but it doesn’t have even a hint of dry texture. And there’s flavors that I’ve never experienced before all throughout the night. 15/10, would recommend. I eat all over the world, and this experience falls into my top 5 culinary experiences ever.

5 /5 Senmartin Guillermo “Wil”: I first went to Calle Dragones when they first opened years ago and the food, service, entertainment, and ambiance were all amazing. However, the prices were a little high. I recently went back and the prices are now much more reasonable and if you can believe it, the food is even better! I highly recommend that you give this place a try, especially during Happy Hour (check out Wednesdays where the Happy Hour extends until closing at the bar)! Also, check out the Miami Spice menu!

5 /5 Natalie Alvarez: My husband and I stumbled in here for dinner 1 night ago and we were in such awe that we returned today and brought my family. The live band was excellent! The food was beautiful and delicious and this restaurant currently has the best Miami Spice deal in all of Miami, in my opinion. You can tell they put a lot of thought into every detail in this restaurant, specially the presentation. Also the staff is incredibly kind and friendly. Our server Lisandra was wonderful and made sure my mom’s husband felt special on his birthday. We will be back again and again.
