Went for the first time to Paya and it was the best dining experience I have had in Miami in a while. Ambiance was on point and service was impeccable—efficient, attentive, and incredibly friendly. As for the food, outstanding! Every dish was delicious with beautiful presentation. My favorite were the Scallop Crudo, Tamarind Lamb Chops and Soursop Ice Cream with Caviar! I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an extraordinary dining experience. Five stars all the way! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We had a party of seven and everyone loved what they had! They bring you bread and some tomatoes to make your own bruschetta (so yummy). Their cocktails were great and we had the beef carpaccio as an app and that was nice. I had the St. Germaine Martini which was so good and different, a little spicy! And then I had the fig ravioli which were amazing 🤩 I have to go back because there were other great things on the menu I need to try 💖 we went for my parents anniversary and brought our own cake and they were super nice about accommodating! You have to go and try for yourself
