Salvaje | Miami

"Do pick Salvaje for your Miami rooftop Japanese restaurant experience! You won't regret it. The ambiance is on the exotic side with fabulous decor as you enter. There is so much to look at all around you. Many photo ops are available. We were seated in the middle of the rooftop and still were able to enjoy the view of Midtown. Our server was Camilo, and he took good care of us. He knew the menu well and made good recommendations to us. We each ordered the skirt steak with potato and salad, and it was brought to us on a personal grill. We loved it. The avocado slices were delicious, too. For drinks, we tried the Sea of Love ($22) and the Colada Salvaje ($22). Both were excellent! As other reviewers have mentioned, we also felt uncomfortable by the Salvaje rule or tradition, that we needed to leave within and hour and a half of being served dinner to make room for the next dining guests. You weren't exactly pushed out, but there were hints to that effect. The more guests, the more money made each day. We have never experienced this type of behavior at a Miami restaurant. Therefore, I had to deduct one star. There is valet parking as well as street parking. Wheelchair accessible entrance."

"I visited Salvaje in Venezuela and expected this one to be better or the same. After being in the other one, this one looks very poor in decoration and design. Waitress outfits are terrible. The dancers just clap and jump, but there is no real choreography or something more professional. I feel that this place is more for tourist. It is very expensive for what the restaurant offers in food, entertainment and infrastructure. The service is good and friendly. Nothing to be impressed. The flavor of the food is good, many of the dishes with a lot of oil. I understand the fry rice has oil, but once is served on the plate is too oily. I ordered the filet mignon which is a small portion. I ordered red wine and it was room temperature. Even red wines should have a certain temperature. Langostinos too much cream cheese and rice. I don’t recommend it. I didn't like the DJ's music mix."

"I’ve been twice and I would really only go again for the food and maybe the music. The service wasn’t the best. We went for a birthday dinner (group of 8) and the server did not take the food order of 2 people. So while everyone else had ordered, we had to try to get the attention of the very busy waiter to try to put in the remaining food orders. Additionally, it took a while to get drinks and everything didn’t come out at the same time. We did go on a Friday so maybe thats why the service was not 10/10. If you’re looking for a rooftop spot with a BEAUTIFUL view of Miami, i dont think this is the spot. But the food was good, they had dancers, and the music was a vibe."

"Went to Salvaje in Barcelona and loved it so I decided to go to the location here while visiting from NY. Salvaje does not disappoint. Great customer service and food. Just wish the drinks were a bit stronger and the hookah was longer lasting. For an $80 hookah my expectations were very high but the hookah was pretty weak and died out quick. At the Barcelona location the hookah was $100 but it lasted a long time so it was worth every penny but this one here is mehhhh. Overall, had a great time!"
