Amazónico Miami is the fifth location of a brand that already has outposts in London, Dubai, Monte Carlo, and Madrid, and Miami got the most elaborate version yet. The whole concept is a rainforest fantasy across three floors, restaurant on the ground level, a bar and lounge with a sushi counter above it, and a rooftop with its own glowing peacock bar. Every surface, plate, and piece of cutlery is doing something intentional. That part of the hype is real. We noticed the details before we even looked at a menu, the woven textures, the volcanic stone, the way the lighting shifts as you move between floors.
We’ve now been twice, both times with a group of girlfriends, both times at the restaurant level rather than the rooftop. That matters for context: if you’re going for the DJ and the Selva nightclub scene, this review isn’t really about that. This is about the food, the vibe at a dinner table, and whether it earns the price tag.
Worth noting: we’ve also eaten at the London and Dubai locations, and both were excellent. Miami holds its own next to them, same level of polish, same standard of food, just wrapped in a very Brickell version of the jungle fantasy.
Amazonico Miami: What we ordered
We leaned hard into the raw bar and shared plates format, which felt like the right way to eat here. Between both visits we covered a wide spread of the menu.
The dishes worth ordering again
Hamachi Tiradito
Thinly sliced yellowtail with passion fruit pulp and a shiso leaf dressing. Clean, well-cut, one of the stronger dishes on the raw bar. This is the one we’d order on repeat.
Aguachile
Branzino ceviche with avocado cream and jalapeño. Bright and citrus-forward, a good palate opener before the heavier plates arrive.
Gambas Rojas
Red prawn tartare with pickled mango, chili garlic, shiso, yuzu tobiko, and arepa blinis. A table favorite both nights. Rich, well-seasoned, worth ordering per person rather than splitting one.
Entraña
Chimichurri-marinated prime skirt steak. Good char, tender enough to share easily across a group.
Pulpo
Grilled octopus with aji panca glaze, beet mousse, and potato cream. Well-charred outside, tender inside. Consistent across both visits.
Mandioca Trufada
Cassava fries with fresh truffle and chipotle aioli. A simple-sounding side that ended up being one of the better bites of the night. Order it, it’s easy to overlook on a menu this dramatic.
Nigiri and sashimi
Solid, not the reason to come, but a good way to round out a table full of shared plates.
Brigadeiros
The right way to end the night. Small, rich, and exactly what a Brazilian-leaning dessert menu should deliver.
Drinks were good both times, though between us we couldn’t tell you exactly what we ordered by the second round. That’s less a knock on the cocktail program and more an honest admission about how the night went. The point is nothing missed.
The vibe
This is a restaurant built for a night out with a group, not a quiet dinner for two. Both times we went, the energy in the room was high before the music even picked up, servers moving fast, tables close together, the kind of buzz that makes a Tuesday feel like an event. That said, the lighting is genuinely romantic, moody, warm, and every table feels considered, which is why it works for date night too, just not the kind of date where you’re trying to hear each other whisper. If you’re looking for something hushed and intimate, this isn’t it. If you want a date, a birthday, a girls’ trip, or a night that feels like a small occasion, it delivers.
