El Tucán

Arrived on Saturday night with the intention of sitting at the bar, grabbing a drink and watching the show.
Reality stroke when there where no chairs at the bar, it was packed like sardines and it was HOTTTTT.
We went upstairs to try to escape the madness and asked for a vodka drink from the bartender (which while ok, was very expensive, yes ive already read the responses saying that they are coctails and that they have drinks that start at $ 15 – 17) but come on! Im wearing 6 inch heels and standing around for an hour waiting for the show to start. The front told us it was 11:30, the website 11 and in reality it started at 12.
By the time it started, the annoying host was just rubbing off the wrong way and we left by the second act.
While I love the restaurant its attached to and think the idea is a great one, the execution needs a LOT of work.

Definitely worth checking out!! Amazing experience and environment, loved the show and the vibe of the place, kind of reminded me of cuba’s tropicana or paris’s moulin rouge ‚(wish it had more space though) thanks to Filipe for his amazing customer service.

El Tucan was perfect ! I went there for dinner last night and honestly what a great combination of food and performances. The place was full and had a great ambiance, I read that in other reviews some people said there was not enough food well for me I had plenty and the tacos were just delicious !
The performances were a mix between dancing and singing performances and had a great flow between presentations. I felt like the whole team was well organised and that a lot of care was put in customer well being. tables were well spaced apart and at the same time right in the action as artists perform right in front of you and walk around the tables. I found that part amazing because it makes everyone feel involved in the show. In my opinion this place is totally worth it the food and show totally justify the price of a menu.
for sure an experience I want to try again especially as I heard shows often vary as well as artists !
Bravo El Tucán

A birthday group of 14 of us made a reservation for the 8pm seating last Friday.
The good: The interior transports you to another place and time. Lighting and décor was fabulous. Show was entertaining. Not the best talent anyone’s ever seen but certainly enough for our group to enjoy. We were seated on the main floor and the room is small enough that you feel very involved in the action.
The not so good: As a previous reviewer mentioned, the food is scarce. The guacamole and plantain chips was enough for 4 people max. The Hamachi was actually quite good but no more than a quarter sized piece for everyone. We never received the sliders on the menu… that extra food was truly missed. The waitress told us for the fixed menu we would receive Branzino, Snapper and Risotto for our main course. A little fish heavy for our liking but she didn’t seem to offer us anything else so we went with it. I can honestly say I have never found so many bones in my fish in my life. At LEAST 3 – 4 per bite. It was such an unpleasant feeling we all just stopped eating. And then sadly the tablespoon of risotto was not enough.
The dessert was good, and they added a very fun sparkler/​firework thing for our bday guy which was nice… but the food in general was a real disappointment.
And then to just really rub it in the $ 85 fixed price became a $ 450/​couple bill. Yes I understand that drinks were not included but we did NOT drink enough to add $ 280 to each couple. We were horrified. Our waitress spent quite a bit of time pushing things on us we didn’t want (stay for the next show, magnum of $ 2700 champagne… and didn’t seem to want to take no for an answer. We enjoyed ourselves but were ready to leave.
All in all I wouldn’t go back, but for a change of pace and scenery it is worth trying.
Just don’t go hungry and bring a fat wallet!

What an AMAZING time we had! The show was great, the service was great! All of the entertainers were top, numero UNO! The drinks were tasty and STRONG :)
We arrived on time for the first showing and had made reservations for our friends birthday, so excited to experience the show and the «DINNER» for $ 85 per person, the other option was $ 20 to sit at the bar.
Im not complaining about the $ 85 because we can afford it. We had a nice table but it was a little tight for my liking. That «included» the dinner and the show. I read the menu prior to arriving and saw the scrumptious appetizers, tapas and mouth watering entrée with a fixed menu.
The waiter placed the first «cold tapas» plate on the table which consisted of TWO pieces of some kind of cracker, a dab of mayo and what tasted like ham but I think was fish. That one was pretty good. I thought, «Hmm, maybe they’re just bringing a little taster!» THEN they brought out GUACAMOLE! It was SOOOO yummy! It was in a teeny tiny little bowl for an entire table of 10, with about 5 plantain chips. Like really people? So I asked if we could have more and he said yes but that we would have to buy it. Well, NO, that just followed with a TABLESPOON of Quinoa and it only got worse. We all stared at each other wondering when the DINNER would arrive… and then… IT ARRIVED. Two small bites of a cold piece of steak along with two triangular pieces of red pepper: /​
I was like, WTF! But they did bring dessert which was ok. Only ok because we were frikkin STARVING and wanted to take an actual bite of something.
So people, there is NO DINNER. I definitely recommend eating prior to the show. Bring a filet o fish in your dates handbag and bring some FRIES with that.
We are definitely going back. It was so much fun! Our friends had the best time! The dancing, the music was WOW!
Just have a little something, something before your arrival and enjoy THE SHOW.

Fabulous elaborate show featuring many acts and a strong Cuban flare Feels like walking into Casablanca w a stage show and dinner at small tables w dim lanterns and tropical décor mirror ball ceiling excellent drinks didn’t get to have food as we ate at Marion. Definately GO
Food at Marion was amazing!!! I had the Grilled Lobster and it was cooked to perfection. Atmosphere was lively and packed w beautiful and well dressed people. They were serving till late and place was packed! I Miami

I love this place! Its really fun, I love how the atmosphere is very welcoming; when you walk in its like nothing you’ve seen in a restaurant. The food & service is good too. The show was my favorite part, along with the band that they have.

It’s an amazing place to go! The only one of its kind in Miami; you won’t find better.
The food was great, the show amazing and the service excellent.
If you are looking for a great night in Miami, sharing great food and a good, enjoyable experience with your family or friends while watching an amazing show, this is the right place to go!
You won’t be disappointed.

Wow. Miami needs more places like this.
Definitely a great place to have a good time with an awesome show. Beautiful people and great service.

El Tucan, Reviving the dinner-​show experience!
Miami has plenty of nightclubs, great restaurants, trendy bars and lounges, but the classic Caribbean cabaret entertainment that you see in movies has been extinct for a long time, until now.
From the moment you enter, you are immediately transported to another time and era, where glamour and elegance meets speakeasy and risqué. A beautiful chandelier adorns one of the side bars, while the lounge area makes you feel sophisticated. Small intimate tables and booths surround the stage with a bright center spotlight indicating that this will be a night to remember.
The friendly staff will make you feel right at home, as if you are visiting with old friends and just a regular patron of the establishment.
You can choose to seat at the lounge or to have the full «dinner show experience» at the main dining room. A prefix menu served family style with a Latin influence and Caribbean cocktails is just the beginning of this unique journey. We started with some signature drinks, El Tucan (Absolut Elyx Vodka mixed with Fresh Lemon and Watermelon Juice, Lychee’s and St. Germaine Liqueur, served up in Signature Brass Tucán) and the Rosadito (Brugal Añejo Rum and Brugal Light Rum tumbled with house made Hibiscus Syrup, Fresh Lime Juices and Strawberries, topped off with Mint Sprigs), both tasty and refreshing.
The prefix menu included; parmesan churros, guacamole, Ahi tuna tostada, charred piquillo pepper, roasted main lobster and prime flat iron steak. Allergies or special dietary needs, no problem! Just let your servers know and they will be happy to make any changes to please you.
The show is just fabulous. Lounge singers, samba girls with more feathers that you can count, flamenco dancers, glittery dresses, tasteful burlesque numbers and a salsa band that will make you want to shake your shimmy, if you don’t have a good time here your just a grouch.
Don’t just go to El Tucan, Run, It’s just fantastic and a wonderful time!
Insider notes
*you can enjoy the show in the lounge without having to do dinner for a cover charge of $ 10
*Valet parking is available
*the first seating admits patrons under 21 accompanied by parents
*ladies, bring your dancing shoes, you’ll want to salsa after a few of the powerful cocktails
*don’t be shy to dress for the occasion; it’s a fun place to let your hair down, or wear it up!
*they can modify the menu if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions
*a vegetarian menu is also available upon request
*The show changes all the time, so you can visit time and time again

As much as I contemplated not going to El Tucan for french Tuesdays yesterday, I still went not just because I already pre-​paid for admission but I committed to going with my fiends. we arrived a little after 8:00, checking in was quite easy. We went straight to the bar and was informed we could only order champagne or vodka??? I could see other drinks at behind the bartender (I’m like wait wait — WTF???) The guy said thats what they served on French Tuesdays. We ordered 2 glasses of Champs which totaled to be $ 35. Again I am like wait wait wtf? (might I add that we ordered the Brut, not the rose???
While it was almost 100 degrees in this establishment -(I am not sure why there was no AC), we started wandering around looking for a good spot to stand and watch the show. Everywhere we tried to stand, we were told we couldn’t stand there. There was no reason why this place should be that crowded. I am sure they violated health and fire hazard code. if there was an emergency, the fire department will have a hard time getting in and out of the building. Tables were so close, chairs were so close, people were standing and blocking exit signs
Right before the show started we finally found a corner to stand and watch the show. I didn’t quite enjoy the show because I was uncomfortable (Between trying to make sure I wasn’t in the servers way or trying to make sure the performers were able to get in and out or not step on my toes). Oh! why in God’s name do they have metal plants???- this in itself is a hazard! We left during the break as it was still quite hot in there
No I will not be back there. Not for the show and not to the restaurant.

We attended El Tucan for my birthday this past Saturday. Everything from the ambiance, shows, food, drinks was great. My only disappointment was for a fixed price of 85 $ per person our meals were shared between couples. For example my husband and I had to split one lobster tail. My uncle attended Friday’s show and he and his friends each received individual portions. Not sure why this was the case for us. I want to call and inquire I feel for the fixed price we should have not had to split portions.

I want to start off by saying that I’ve never written a Unilocal review because I consider myself a very easy customer, but this experience was so disappointing that a review is necessary.
Right after commenting about how good the quinoa was, I took another bite and found myself chewing on a QUARTER. An actual QUARTER was in our bowl of quinoa. Not on top, but in the bottom of the bowl mixed in seamlessly. I understand that kitchens can sometimes be chaotic and hair can accidentally be dropped in food, but I cannot find any reasonable explanation as to how a QUARTER found its way into my bowl of quinoa and be missed by the kitchen staff. Thankfully I didn’t bite down too hard and crack my teeth or swallow/​choke on the coin.
Upon pulling the quarter out of my mouth and finding the manager, Thomas, we received very little explanation or help on the situation other than $ 100 off of our $ 1,000 bill and a few cocktails. If this night wasn’t really important with my entire family being together at the same time, I would have demanded a 100% comp or left the venue instantly.
Despite this extremely disappointing situation and terrible management, we decided to stay to hear the music that we had come for. The music was the highlight of the night, with the band and singers performing amazingly. The first singer, Ms Yoli, was incredibly talented, as was the house band. In addition to the music, the food was delicious (although very rushed and cramped on an absurdly small table for a group of 6).
It’s very sad to see such an awesome venue and concept be run so poorly. Unfortunately with the quarter incident and terrible management of the situation by the staff, I could not recommend this venue to anyone until they make serious changes.
UPDATE:
2 months after this incident and after receiving a message from one of the owners, Michael, to call him, I have yet to be called back after leaving a voice mail from this serious issue. I’m starting to believe that they use the Unilocal responses to try to clear up their image while not actually communicating or responding to their previous customers’ issues. After my terrible experience, I reserved SOME faith that this business and its operators would somehow turn things around, but apparently not. I now stand firm with not being able to recommend this venue to anyone.

We celebrated my mother in laws birthday here and we had a blast. We were a bit crowded on the tables, but the food was delicious and the music was amazing! I recommend the upper area if you want to dance with a large group. This is definitely a different and fun alternative to spend a Friday or Saturday night!!!

Totally Havana nights, quite small, lots of occupied tables so isnt the place to come dance but rather watch spectacular shows. Drinks we’re great but pricey yet they only have top shelf, $ 10.00 entrance to watch the shows which is great but if you don’t pay for the dinner price your likely to be standing around to watch the shows so go early to get a spot.

I have to say that i am very impressed with the whole concept. I am giving a 5 starts as i am very please with my experience. My friend and i had a delicious dinner and the drinks are super yummy. They also have a great show with singers and a band that it puts the whole place to dance, not mentioning the service was above my expectations. I really recommend to go to El tucan if you want to have the time of your life. Is a treat for your eyes and palate.

We came here on Friday night and caught the 9pm show. We were seated on the second floor. The seating was not great for 4 people. It was very difficult for ²⁄₄ to see on the opposite side of the table. I would recommend they use more of a bar style seating on the second floor.
We ordered the shared small plates. Raw hamachi, Grilled oyster mushroom, Ahi tuna tostada, Charred peppers, Toasted main lobster and Wagyu steak. Dessert was a chocolate tart and a peruvian Custardy dessert which was not to my taste buds liking. Additionally we ordered rissoto which I would not recommend as it was ridiculously priced for the portion serving and the fact that there was no meat in it. (Mama could have bought a new pair of shoes ;). Seems like a lot of food now that I’m listing it out but definitely not enough portion size wise for my BF and I to share so pretty disappointing. The food tasted very average and we had to find the server on multiple occasions to order more drinks ect.
While disappointed in the service and food I definitely enjoyed the show and the overall atmosphere and liveliness of the crowd. The restaurant does an amazing job of making you feel like you’re in another decade! Forget those 1000 dollar Adele tickets, El tucan Has a performer that could have been a mini Adele. 40s-​In Havana Cuba? Love. Get up and dance! If I return I will most likely come back to enjoy the show and have drinks. I’ll have dinner elsewhere!

I was so excited to see a cabaret show but was disappointed. We were seated on the second floor balcony and felt like we weren’t included. The talent was amazing, but when singer/​entertainer/​dancer came on, we’re completely ignored. I really wanted to dance but no opportunity. The band was an incredible Cuban group, but only spoke Spanish (for those of us who took French). Really wanted to love el Tuscan but felt it could be so much more.

I really, really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, it’s nothing but another overpriced and pretentious establishment that is typical of Miami, as opposed to the eclectic and cool cabaret that I hoped it would be.
Let’s start with the cover charge. Other posters suggested that the cover would be in the $ 10 range. We went last night with a group of 3 men and 3 women, and had to pay $ 45 per person just to get in the door! Um, what? This is not Cirque du Soleil or a Broadway show. The sporadic and brief «performance» really is just a live band. While it’s a nice touch, we did not feel we got our money worths.
As for drinks, I don’t even know where to begin. Why anyone would pay $ 20+ for a mixed drink is beyond me. We bought one round and we’re so disgusted by the prices that we didn’t by any more. One has to wonder about the wisdom of this business decision. Yes, El Tucan made approximately $ 120 off of our group’s round of drinks. But if the drinks had been more reasonably priced, I guarantee we would have bought numerous rounds, stayed much longer, invited more friends to join us, and spent A LOT MORE MONEY.
But alas, we were so turned off by the pretentiousness that permeated the experience that we left within an hour and spent hundreds of dollars more at another venue in the area. In short, I wouldn’t recommend El Tucan unless you’re super drunk (so you don’t care about being treated fairly) or a sucker.

Unique experience, but just once.
I went for only drinks to the upstairs bar. Prepare to pay $ 17+ for drinks, good drinks, but a lot of ice & light alcohol. If you go for only drinks, you’re forced to stand & try to peak over someone’s shoulder to see the show. The tables are only reserved for bottle service.
LOVE the Tropicana old Cuba vibe of the place and live band show. However, the performances in the beginning were sooo random and NOT Cuba. An Adele sound-​alike singing her songs completely offset the mood.
In a nut shell — it’s cute & makes for a nice date or celebration. Not worth going more than once. & like anything good in Miami, it’ll get overplayed, overpriced & people will start hating it.

This place I am kinda mixed on, there are pros and cons of course.
Pros: It is something different even for Miami, think 1940’s burlesque, supper club pre Castro. Its fun you feel like it is a secret club no one knows about. There is a downstairs reserved for those at dinner; dinner is $ 85.00 whihc includes your admission and gratuity I believe. Upstairs is a bar some stools chairs but you ahve to biy drinks or bottle I believe. It is fun glamorous the show itself is enterntaining lasting 5 minutes each act with about 6 diffferent acts.
Cons: Ok, if you hate standing I suggest reserve a table. The prices were wayyyy over priced. $ 25.00 for a whiskey sour– I have never paid this price not even on the beach. So one drink it was for me and thats it. Just for the steep prices alone was a huge turnoff. The show itself did not start until about 11:45 so you have to wait a while. And it does not last as long as Im sre many of us would like.
Overall: Yes its fun, its different, talent is great but would not come back. maybe for a date if I wasnt paying. My suggestion def prices are way too high, and actually start the show on time,.

The place is very nice
The drinks are very good
The show is amazing
Thanks again to Thomas (the manager) who made incredible our first experience at el Tucan

Here is where the half star would come in handy as I do not think this place is worthy of the two I am giving, but since it did have a show, I’ll review it along with the entire experience.
I wanted to like this place, but I have to say it’s truly not what I thought a dinner and a show would be! I travel quite extensively and have been to numerous cabarets and shows throughout the world.
A fixed price for dinner of $ 85.00, for the kind of food you are paying at this place, is not worth it. The service isn’t that great either. I looked around to other tables, which did not have our menu and obviously our fixed price dinner and their food looked a bit better than ours. Better chicken and seafood. We had a really bad menu. They even forgot to give us one of the dishes that was included in the menu.
Our dinner consisted of ceviche which was not tasty, as it seemed not to have been marinated long enough without the right consistency. And ended with this weird Mexican melted chocolate something, which I am still trying to figure out. Food was so scarce one of our guests we invited from Orlando asked «if that was the entire dinner»? They thought we had just only gotten served appetizers Six people, our own 2 bottles and and extra bottle purchased which cheapest starts at $ 120.00 along with drinks. When the bill came corking fee on web says $ 25, there was extra $ 15 charge per bottle) charge for corking fee, so watch your bill for that, along with extras like a cup of coffee!!! Total amount was $ 1300.00 (that’s over $ 200 a person) and then asked to leave our table as they needed it for another party for the second seating and second show!
My recommendation pay the cover and go upstairs. Get ready to over pay for your drinks! Do not waste your time or money on the dinner and first show! Wish you success, but must listen to reviews, that’s what will make or break a new establishment!

Very impressed with this Old Cuba-​inspired venue. Excellent service by mostly francophone staff and amazing music by violin-​fusion, cabaret, jazz singer and salsa band acts. Two thumbs way up!

My new favorite spot in Miami. I don’t understand why this place only has 3 stars that is ridiculous. Looking forward to trying dinner on Friday.
I have been to El Tucán twice now and literally have left saying «That was so much fun, I can’t wait to come back» both times. This is a completely different nightlife experience than I have ever experienced in Miami. Classy, classy, classy– something like I’d expect in the West Village. From the graphic design, social media, social advertising, interior design, etc… this place tells a great story. Pre-​Castro cuba in a nutshell.
Cocktail attire dress code leaves room for a classy and elegant crowd, but definitely not uppity. I would also say that the crowd is older in general so you won’t be pushed around by sweaty drunk people all night which in my opinion is a HUGE win.
Drinks are a little pricey, starting at around $ 16 but incredibly delicious and fresh and served by beautiful staff that are incredibly friendly and will chat with you all night. In my two nights here I have also observed the general manager (I think, a very handsome (lol) Parisian (?) man) incredibly attentive of guests and staff all night. From seeing the other reviews I think people have an issue with the pricing of the meal, but to be honest you are paying for an incredible show as well and if you can’t understand how the cost of talent is included in the drinks and food at this place then maybe it isn’t the right spot for you. You can come for just drinks and have a great time without hindering your view of the show without a table. A $ 10 cover is really not that bad, I would pay more than that just to get in.
The talent that El Tucán is beyond what I was expecting. Dancers, singers, performers, musicians that can all be award winning if they are not already. I promise this review was not endorsed by El Tucán, it has been one of my favorite experiences in Miami by far and I recommend it to all of my friends regardless of their age or nightlife preferences. In fact I try to invite myself anytime I hear of a friend going.

The Concept is actually a great one: Dinner and a Show. However, the dinner portion is very disorganized, food has a lot to be desired and extremely overpriced. The management has no idea what they are doing, hostess fight with each other right in front of guests, reservation was for 10:30pm and didn’t get seated until 11:40.
Those are just the logistics.
After being seated — the establishment let’s in general admission people that packed the place like sardines and with a less than capable air conditioning system made it like we were really in the jungle somewhere hunting a real elusive Tucan.
People hanging over you while you try to enjoy the sorry excuse for dinner, 95 degrees and no relief in sight.
The band and the show does bring a new vibe to the city however I would spice that part up a little a take it back to a more burlesque type show.
The venue is lacking essence — essence of the olden days when Cabarets were in; Great Gatsby, El Tropicana!
And to top off the night — the Valet has no experience and keys were lost, people stuck in the rain — major debacle !
All in all this is NOT a do over and after experiencing the Tropicana Night Club in modern times (communism) I have to say they did it right !
El Tucan should go on a fact finding mission and send their owner, management team and staff to see how a real cabaret night club could be done and done well !
I wish you much success because for right now you’re just a flash in the pan and the shiny new club smell is going to wear out once patrons realizes the overpriced menu and experience leads them to the Carreta On 8^th St.

Mediocre show, extremely over priced wine, a bottle of wine that costs $ 60 at any other restaurant in miami they had it for $ 180, no wine under $ 120.
Over all not a value for your money, after all is said and done $ 200 per person.

This place is new, and it is fun but it is grossly overpriced. I would have given it 2 stars but there really isn’t anything else like this in Miami, to have experienced something better.
We went for second seating on Saturday night. If you have ever watched I Love Lucy the show is a lot like Ricky’s variety show. Which is different and awesome, but it is short.
The food is a prefix 5 course meal plus dessert. It consists of 2 different ceviches an octopus dish a pork belly dish and savory churros all of which were amazingly delicious. The desserts were a tres leches and Mexican chocolate concoction that were both amazing, but it is «family style» and there isn’t quite enough for a family of one. Considering the price of the meal it left a lot to be desired.
The drinks, LOL, the cheapest one is $ 16. So there’s that.
This is a great concept and there is a lot of talent in the show. It’s most definitely something different to do on a Saturday night BUT by no means is this something you should do more than once. To me, it certainly was not worth the price. Not sure if this place will survive as is. Especially since the location seems to be doomed. Everything that opens there fails.

Came on Saturday Oct. 3, on the second night they were open, and we had a great time.
Excellent live entertainment, delicious drinks, good service, and talented dancers. I appreciate that when the bartenders make a good old fashioned, they pour it in a glass with a big piece of ice instead of those little cubes which melt quickly. The menu was a la carte during the opening weekend and entrance to see the show was complimentary.
This place is really what we need in Brickell. A place with a classy-​Miami vibe and Latin flavor. The staff is nicely dressed, especially the ladies, who wear colorful dresses. Everything is 1940’s-inspired Havana — it really transports you to another time. Most guests are dressed to impress, so ladies wear your dresses and heels.
Came in a second time on Thursday Oct. 8^th to see Tito Puente jr. And wow!!! Great show and tribute to his father, the legendary Tito Puente! Needless to say, we had an amazing time. All the musicians that played that night were phenomenal, from dueling violinists, to the beautiful lady singer. The entire Latin band and dancers were also very talented and enthusiastic. It was very hard to stay eating at the table when my feet were going to the beat of the music and the beautiful ladies were dancing around the tables. I loved the live show!
The menu this time was a fixed menu for 85 $ per person. The food was delicious and the staff was very accommodating. Our waitress, Karen, was very attentive and polite. She made our experience even better with her charisma and attention to details. The menu included various tapas, a beef dish, a seafood paella, and two desserts. The desserts were very unique. One was some type of yogurt with avocado (sweet & sour flavor), and the second was a scrumptious blend of different types of chocolate (sweet & bitter flavors). However, I am not sure if 85 $ per person for a family-​style dinner is the best deal. It did not seem to be enough food for a group of three, but definitely good for two. I think 85 $ to 95 $ for two people is a good price for the fixed-​price menu they currently have going. If you are going to serve it family style in little bowls, then 85 $ per person may be too much. If you are not interested in dining here, no worries. There is a 10 $ entrance fee for the live entertainment and access to the bar. Very reasonable price considering the area.
If you enjoy live entertainment, a chic dining atmosphere, and good craft drinks, this is the place for you!
Reservations are not easy to make because sending an email on their website just makes a reservation request and they do not seem to pick up the phone. The main entrance needs to do a better job at taking care of the large crowd waiting outside for the first seating. If you are paying 85 $ per person, you should expect to be greeted and seated in a quick manner. With this in mind, I have to say that everyone we spoke to that busy night was very friendly and helpful.
I truly enjoyed the uniqueness and liveliness of this place. I can easily become a regular. Salud por el Tucan! Cheers!

This place has wow factor from the moment you walk in. Set in what appears to be a 1940’s Havana supper club, you get all the feels when you step inside. We were there on Friday night for my friend’s birthday party. We were a party of 5 and were sitted at a greatly located table to see the shows and have dinner. Now this place has massive potential but I will list what I thought to be was possible cons and greats. Overall, we had a fantastic evening
Greats:
The music
The band
The show
The Tucan girls and MC
The way we were transported to a different period in time
The beautiful bar, drinks, and décor
The crowd
The food was tasty
The service! Our waitor was the best, seriously.
Cons:
The size of the table. We were so squished the whole time. I guess they need to maximize the supper club space.
The food selection. You cant be a picky eater or come with food allergies. Lots of ceviche, langostinos.
The heat. It was so hot in there. Perhaps it was from all the dancing.
Dont come hungry, its more like tapa style sharing which is perfect for drinks and apps but perhaps the $ 85 pp for food may not match that. Id like to think we were donating it to the awesome entertainment. That band was seriously good.
There you have it. I will return even if the novelty might have worn out from my first experience there. I’d like to see my friends and family enjoy it for the first time. Bring abuelo or abuela, they are sure to enjoy it!

A cabaret full of Glitz & glamour has arrived at the Heart of Brickell!
This beautifully designed venue is two stories, includes three bars and a good number of tables for dinner seating with cabaret lamps… Cool vintage ticket both upon entrance, Golden Palms, Chandeliers, and more are designed transport you back in time to a luxurious 1940’s cabaret…
It was the official grand opening weekend this past Friday & Saturday. On Friday, I went with my Fiancé on a date and on Saturday I went with some girl friends to celebrate my 2^nd local bachelorette party. Had a blast dancing salsa both times! Both of my visits were to see the show and enjoy some drinks, as I unfortunately was not able to make a dinner reservation Friday. On Saturday coming here was totally impromptu and we arrived at around 9:45pm after having dinner somewhere else just in time for the 10:30pm show.
Entry was complimentary for their grand opening weekend, but it appears they will be charging $ 10.00 for cover if you don’t have dinner reservations and you wish to simply see the show and have some drinks.
We tried to make reservations for dinner only to find out they are fully booked for the next two weeks. So if you would like to have dinner, you should definitely start planning ahead. Please note my review is specifically geared towards the ambiance, show and drinks. Dinner looked great but I can’t say anything about the food or service. If you do go for drinks, do plan to watch the show standing as they are not that many places to sit without a reservation.
They have a 8:30pm show and 10:30pm show. I was there on Friday for the 8:30pm show and 10:30pm on Saturday. I don’t want to ruin the surprise, but I will say that each show consisted of 3 – 4 different acts and they were all pretty unique and all designed to entertain you and even promote you to get up and dance which I really loved!!! The show on Friday was different than Saturday so I thought that was actually pretty cool as well.
As for drinks they had a full bar and a very good cocktail menu. I had the «Beso de Miel» and I was hooked to the point I had the same cocktail on both days…
I’m sure this will become next Miami’s Hot Spot just because it’s extremely unique and different… I would definitely recommend reservations and comfortable shoes for the ladies if you don’t have one… Great spot to take a date or go with a group of friends for dinner & a show and some dancing afterwards…
Enjoy!
