    Our entire experience was amazing! We took our 3 teenagers and they all tried several foods they had never had before. The server was so kind to explain things to them and walk them through the menu. Service was amazing, the food was amazing, the open kitchen made it a more relaxed environment and so cool to watch the chefs. We had such a great night!

    Based on reviews I was concerned as Bazar Mar was one of my favorite restaurants in MIA. Decided to give it a go and we had a wonderful dinner. Ordered from the regular menu and was amazed at the flavor journey with each bite. The menu is smaller than the former MIA location but just as amazing. The cocktails did not disappoint!

    What a wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve dinner eating a delicious Paella, drinking Spanish Cava and listening to Christmas music in Spanish. The staff at Socarrat Paella Bar is outstanding from the moment Mila greets you at the door and takes you to your table to the friendly and attentive waiter Diego and even a waiter that sings. Thank you for a fantastic experience and we'll definitely be back soon! Happy Holidays to the entire staff! Benjamin & Hans
