Great taste, excellent service reasonable price, awesome Pulpo a la Parrilla... very good sangria and easily one of the best chef's in town (Andres)... almost an "Made in Spain" experience.
Mara Basque Cuisine & Lounge was a pleasant and welcome surprise: the Grilled octupus was the best we have had in Miami: the Branzino loins with roasted tomatoes was a quintessential recommendation from our waiter and the Albariño white wine the perfect complement. Needless to say the service was impeccable, could not ask for anything better. I know this restaurant is going to be a great success, we are already planning our next visit. Higky recommend it!!!
Speaking as someone who goes to Spain 3-4 times per year, I can say the food at Mara falls short. I was excited when this restaurant opened across the street from home. Hearing “Basque cuisine” sets a very high bar, as it is world renown. The food at Mara was ok and certainly pricy for what you get. The selection on the menu looks good enough, but the excecuted plates do not deliver. I was also disappointed to see that they call Maine lobster bogavante, they are definitely not the same thing and it made me feel duped. Service is good and friendly, I would give 5 stars for that. I might go back for drinks and the service, but not for the food.
