Segundo Muelle – Miami

Segundo Muelle is located at the heart of Coral Gables. During our visit the place was packed, service was slow, and the food was decent, nothing out of this world. Segundo Muelle faces tough competition with numerous Peruvian restaurants in Miami. Crocante de Lucuma.

What a disappointment, it felt like fools gold. To be honest it was a long time coming I have been having a good run at new restaurants, but unfortunately this was not one by a long shoot. We got there this past Saturday. We had to wait, to be honest I still don’t why. I had a cold beer at the bar while waiting for our seats and I can say my beer was truly the highlight of the trip.
Once seated it took a while for the waiter to arrive and it took a while to get our drinks by the way he put the bottle of wine down and did not return for 10 minutes with the glasses. It’s like showing a glass of water to a thirst man and then spilling it on the floor on purpose. Once we finally got to drink wine he took our order very simple salads, ceviche, and our main plates 10 minutes later the salad came through then is when the fun began.
Waited, waited, and waited for the waiter to come by to tell us the out come had to ask the another waiter to please come see me. The waiter then sent another waiter to tell me the food is not ready. In other word the waiter was avoiding me for some weird reason. I then had to tell the other waiter why is he sending him tell him I wish to speak to him. I then get the waiter this was a 45 minute ordeal said cant do nothing the food isn’t ready by the way we order our food over an hour ago. Then he comes and said the food is ready but not the ceviche remember this is a Peruvian restaurant I told him that we would eat first the ceviche how would we eat the ceviche last for dinner? Got upset after ignoring my table and just being rude he comes to the table basically throws the food on the table.
When I got the ceviche it still wasn’t cooked correctly with the lime juice. I had to basically request lime to cook it myself. When I asked for the food he sent another person. Then the person at the bar had to come and apologize and said he would help me now. At the end my chauf rice was cold and the rest of the food was ok. The manager at the end apologized and gave us a free dessert and meal next time.
Let know how it goes. Avoid this restaurant there many more Peruvian restaurant with much better service and food.

Esteemed owner, chef and manager, if you wish to survive, please change ! The ceviche was overly creamy and rich. The coffee was cold, burned and full of grains. The only thing worth returning for is the excellent service Ana provided. I hope someone either fixes this place or it closes. It’s one of the worst experiences gastronomically I’ve had.

I enjoyed my visit here, menu selections and pricing aregood, service could be better, serving all the dishes for our party together would be nice, clean cups would be good too. The octopus ceviche was fresh and filling.

Great food.
You’ve got to have the Conchitas a las Parmesana, the Ceviche a los 3 Ajis and also the Causa. Would definitely come back…

I had a fish with a wonderful sauce. Unfortunately, the fish was tasteless.
The rice was mediocre. How can someone ruin rice, especially in Miami where it is such a staple of the population?
The desert was good but not outstanding. It was like a cheese flan. It was very good but I can get cheese flan anywhere.

The food is good but the portions are small. We ordered out for my birthday (I’m just not a fan of being stuck in restaurants). The octopus to avocado ratio for the tar tar appetizer seemed stingy. Also it came with bread instead of chips. Everyone agreed the food was good, just too small for what we paid for it.

Utter disappointment. This is the second time I come here for happy hour and everything from the drinks to the service to the food was SUBSTANDARD. The waiter did not understand me whether I spoke in English or Spanish. Every plate they brought out had me wondering if I’d ordered from the right place because it looked nothing like the menu. There is no consistency in their service or food.

Service is very slowwwwwww. 25 min wait for a salad.
Servers are nice but having food would be nicer.
Ok food finally arrived and omg how yummy! Loved every bite. Why is my stomach so small!

I’ve been here twice and the bad service outweighs how delicious the food is. After my last experience I will not be visiting segundo muelle ever again.

Came for Friday lunch, restaurant was pretty empty. Was looking forward to a nice ceviche with 4 friends. We started with a ‘pankita with pulpo’ which was pretty good but looked nothing like the picture in the menu. We had ordered our entrees with the pulpo. After waiting a long time 2 of the 5 entrees came out. The server said he was coming back with the ceviche dishes. 10 minutes later 2 more dishes came out. Another 10 minutes and the last dish arrived. I have never in my life seen this poor planning. Now the food: the ceviche de mariscos a los tres ajies was the worst ceviche I ever had. It was small portion size and small individual pieces. The sauce was way too creamy. Lastly, the service was below par and no effort was made to make up for the delays. I will never be back.

Simplemente perfecto… La comida deliciosa, la atención inigualable, lo recomiendo, si quieren comer comida peruana este es el lugar…

Having lived in Peru for 3 years, I was excited to come here. Across the board, this place is underwhelming. I ordered 2 types of ceviche and a causa appetizer. The food was extremely average and ordinary.
The service was slow and non-​attentive. We were given one glass of water and not offered refills. We had to ask 3 different waiters for our check and actually are still waiting as I write this!!!
Bottom line, there are numerous other options in Miami for Peruvian food. I would choose any of them.

My parents have been here a few times and wanted to take me, as a birthday celebration. Im not up on Peruvian food but the few times i have had it, ive nejoyed it. The space itself is well decorated, modern but felt a bit cold to me. Everyone else in the group disgarreeed with me, lol.
the food, i can tell you is excellent. for apps, we shared the Piqueo tres cebiches and hicharron de pescado. Both were full of flavor and I recoomend highly.
For my entrée, i chose the Spaghetti a la huancaina con lomo. Th elomo was cooked to medium perfectly and overall a delicious dish.
Finally, for dessert, my parentes raved about the Suspiro. Alas, they had run out. I settled for the «crocante de lucuma», while the others shared a flan.
I loved both, they favored the flan. To me, either one is a solid choice. However, my parents were disappointed about the Suspiro shortage.
The food was very tasty and very reasonbale on the pocketbook. A rarity these days. I will be back.

Great restaurant.
The food is amazing.
The have typical Peruvian food and some fusion dishes.
We ordered the segundo muelle ceviche which was good but I really preferred the original one with more lime taste.
The sushi is amazing. Nice fused rolls.
The PESCADO A LO MACHO is amazing and is a tasty and soft flavored as well.

Interesting detail, to go to a Peruvian restaurant attended by Cubans. Is the Peruvian gastronomy moving forward I think so. this is a sign.
Peruvian franchise come to the elegant Coral Gables. Under a historic hotel, Segundo Muelle conquers Florida.
Stylish decoration with open concept, nice view of the bar with an «L» shaped table setting. A group area is hidden pass a french door. Waiters dress in black with gorgeous hostess. The enu are hardy and structured to be self explanatory with pictures to describe the dishes and not to complicate the poor Cubans, not aware of our culinary prowess.
I started with a Maracuya Sour, it was delicious, just a bit small, hence losing a star. Pico should be the flag liquor of the establishment, paying $ 10 for just a taste makes for great profits in the short term but in the long term we need to see Pisco a the Tequila re-​born. Come don’t serve Pisco in an 8oz glass.
Well, back to the food, we were a group of four and me and my friends always eat Chinese style, food goes in the middle of the table and we share everything. First, the causas with two sauces. Nice starter, nice introduction of the yellow potato dish infused in aji. The sauces, one aji based and the second one a haucatay reduction, were very tasty. We shared a plate of gratine scallop that brought us back to the beaches of Lima.
For the main courses we ordered the Batayaki Maki, which I had better, but was good. Sudado de Antano, which is a a overly complicated way to introduce the delicate Sudado, need to simplify there; I ordered the ceviche de pescado, which was the best ceviche of my visit; and the best was the Risotto con Lomo Saltado, with a real lomo au juice that make me feel like liking the dish.
For dessert we shared a delicious flan.
Needs some improvement, but gets a good four stars.

Normally Im not a review person, but this restaurant is very good; from the food, to the service, and drinks. I have no complaints. The ceviche and octopus are my favorite, but so far everything has been great. I Think I’m ready to bring my dad that he is pretty hard to please. Carolina Wong was attentive and Antonio the bartender can make a mean drink. Can’t go wrong with this restaurant.

I have visited over 5 times in a 4-​months period. The food is good, but service must be improved. Service may be slow at times; sometimes food doesn’t all come out at the same time which is an issue in my opinion. I really think appetizers (and main courses) must be served together. If you have 6 and 6, make sure all 6 apps come out first — at once. Not 4 first and 2 later. That doesn’t work.
Back to the cuisine, Segundo Muelle offers traditional Peruvian food with modern twist. I highly recommend «ceviche los tres ajies», «octopus tartar», «tiradito de pulpo», for appetizers. As main course, the «lomo saltado» «risotto de lomo», and «pescado sudado» are great (tasty) options.
To end, «crocante de lucuma» is a must! Delicious lucuma mousse over a bed of crunchy crust. Exquisite!
I hope my next visit will result in improved service. That would be really nice for a change.
Thanks!

Definitely recommend it amongst all the Peruvian restaurants in Gables area.
The food and the menu is just like the one in Lima.
I had read some of the reviews from my fellow Unilocalers complaining about the service and the octopus, so I must confess I was a bit nervous about bringing 12 friends who were following my recommendation.
But we went! And everyone loved it.
We ordered the conchitas (grilled gratined scallops), the pankitas de pulpo (octopus) and the causas.
The parrilla didn’t really impress me.
But for the main course I ordered the atamaliado de mariscos. And it was delicious! Decent portions and fairly priced.
The service was great! Very attentive and in English all the time!

The service was outstanding! I am redoing this review since my first time the octopus was chewy, but the last time was great. We had ceviche mixto and shells with Parmesan. Tres leches with kahlua was OUSTANDING!
Décor is amazing and they live music started at 9pm. Fun place to hang out

Uno de los mejores restaurantes peruanos de Miami. Se los recomiendo, la comida es exquisita y los tragos deliciosos. Y no puedo dejar de nombrar la excelente atención

I went there for lunch with a coworker, although they don’t have lunch specials the prices are somewhat reasonable and among the $ 14-​$ 18 range. They brought complimentary bread and butter and our dishes were delicious.
