Adriana Restaurant

Great pisco sour and ceviche, but the mains were very underwhelming. Some of the menu looks very un-Peruvian as well. Service was extremely slow and we waited for ages for our mains. As rather pricey the whole experience was disappointing. Would only return for drinks and ceviche. more

Started with a Pisco which I thought, "When in Rome" which tasted like really sweet margarita mix. \r \r Then we got the Adriana Appetizer, two kinds of fried cheese balls and fried chicken nuggets which is pretty much what it is, nothing elegant about it...came with 3 dipping sauces which were all pretty good, but overall it was a greasy, fried appetizer. \r \r I had the Gorgonzola Tenderloin which was very tender and the gorgonzola sauce was good, but the purple sauce that was also on it was super sweet and should have been left out. Overall, it should have tasted better for the amount I paid for the meal, I probably wouldn't go back... more

Kept on ordering Pisco Sours. The food is incredible and the staff is friendly and helpful. The mixed ceviche is the best I've ever had on either coast, I'm from California. It is pricy but well worth the trip. more

Went tonight for our Wedding Anniversary, waiter greater us in Spanish but we only speak English, I told him it was our annuversary he never said one word. I asked him which Rose was nice he had to ask bartender. We had the Adriana appetizer was dry overfried chicken not worthy to eat, florentine fish was like boiled Talipia sitting on over cooked rice with no flavor with soupy framed spinach tasted like a frozen meal. Tres leches was a shame in Miami to use this name for a wet cake with no flavor. Then the bill comes they overcharge the wine and add $5 for sauce. Overpriced Worst meal ever more

Went for dinner last week. Service was terrible, and owner is arrogant and did not care. Would never recommend. more

My whole family is from Peru, and almost all of them are professional chefs. I went to Adriana with my husband who also enjoys a good peruvian food and we both agree that this place is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The food is absolutely superb the appetizers too, the only thing I didn't like too much was the Pisco Sour too sweet for us but it was ok, the rest was delicious...Trust me we are huge fans of peruvian food since I am from PERU!!!! more

A group of us went here based on a colleague's recommendation. Unfortunately this was the 1st restaurant we tried based on his recommendation---don't think we'll be doing that again. This restaurant is located in Surfside, an up and coming area, just south of Sunny Isles. The only good part of this place is the cocktails. Otherwise, the ceviche is not authentic & lacked flavor. The ceviche was very acidic and had no Peruvian corn or flavor. \r \r We also tried the Appetizer Adriana: Yuquitas, Tequenos and Fried Breaded Mini Chicken Balls (tasted o-k), Lomo Saltado (salty and greasy-- reminded me of Americanized chinese beef stirfry from the mall foodcourts), Funghi tortellini (salty), spaghetti pomodoro (not good ) , Honey chicken (again food-court chinese food), and tres leche for dessert (which just o-k). If you check out the menu---other than a few "authentic Peruvian sounding names of dishes", there really aren't any good Peruvian dishes. Michys has better ceviche, and Francesca's has way better Peruvian food (though a little pricey). If you want a nice place to sit and enjoy an overpriced cocktail...this is the place for you. You're basically paying all this money for the ambiance -not the food. more

I had dinner here with my husband and it was an awesome experience, the food is creative and delicious, the plating is original and the flavors outstanding! The service is good, it can be a little better but overall it was ok. We tried the pizco sour cocktail and it was super good. I have to also mention that the ambience and decoration of the restaurant is interesting, different and very chic! Love this place... Great experience at a fair price! I will recommended to friends and family and we will go back for sure! more

I just read another review and i guess i am a pretensious bal harbour person but i love adrianas. I had to convince my husband at first to try it because he is a meat and potato guy but we got invited out and went. \r he loved it. we have had a lot of the apps and i would recommend alot of them just not the potato thing. the ceviche is great!! i never had it until i went there. the service is not so good...but they dont rush you either. it is elegantly decorated and the manager is extremely nice and helpful.. when you call for a reservation be sure to ask for a booth. \r and btw...i am not pretencious and am not even sure that i spelled it correctly!! just good food and relaxing atomsphere. more

Over $20 for lomo saltado? I don't think I need to say more. This restaurant seems to cater to a pretentious Bal Harbor clientele, which is reflected in the very pretentious menu. Don't waste your money more

It is one of the best reastourants I have been in to in my life (especialy the starters). more

Great Food! Deserts were really good. If you go there dont miss the Lucuma mousse. A taste so unique you've probably never tried something like that specially because Lucuma is a fruit that only grows in Peru!!! more

Open Sundays! Most of the restaurants in Bal Harbour aren't open on Sundays, so that put a plus on this restaurant in my book. Creative drink menu and good food. Service was good for me... more

Over priced, service is terrible, food is fairly good more

I went to Adriana last week for the first time. The food was great, the space is pretty. Service was nothing less then HORRIBLE!!\r Francesco's is closer the food is better and they take really good care of you.. more

food amazing !!! every plate was better than the other one !! i have never eat so good in the last 7 years in miami , regarding the price ...very cheap for waht you get.\r the decor is superb and the food presentation very creative, nice atmopshere, a must in miami , even if you need to drive one hour. more

The place was very crowded, so we waited a bit. But the food was AWESOME and very much worth the wait. We were a party of 8 people so we shared. Every plate was so good that I could not figure out which was my favorite. The presentation of some of the plates was very appealing.\r \r The service was a bit slow (I guess their kitchen was at "peak" time) but our waiters were very nice and attentive.\r \r I think that this Restaurant is a MUST for any food lover!!! more

Don't bother. Four of us ate there last night, and, although busy (must be full of first-timers), it was very disappointing. Service was slow, food was awful. Fish dish was mushy, shrimps (small) were served over cold mashed potatoes covered with russian dressing, pasta dish (also with shrimp) had creamy wet dressing, although not so indicated on menu, beef dish served with Uncle Ben's rice and plain old french fries, etc. With so many great surrounding restaurants, we won't be going back here. Stay away!\r \r -Surfside resident more
