Take Advantage of the Miami Spice Week Promotion in September for Additional Savings

We were staying at a hotel within walking distance of the Brickell Marketplace so we decided to stroll on over for dinner. Beforehand, I was viewing the Miami Spice website and noticed that Marabu was a participating restaurant. We ordered the skirt steak and this...was by far the best and most flavorful steak that I have ever tasted. LITERALLY AMAZING! The service was on point and staff even came out to do a birthday serenade for our b-day person. Although it was a bit pricy, this is to be expected in Miami for good food and mojitos! The only thing is that the restaurant tends to run a little warm temperature-wise due to the open façade. Attached is a photo of how your check is delivered too!More

Delicious food and great service!

Marabu had delicious food. The fried snapper bowl was very good, along with the cucumber appetizer. We were in town during the Miami Spice event which you get appetizer, meal and dessert for one set price. Will definitely eat here again during a future trip!More

Out of this world old fashioned, tamal, and goat cheese flan!

This is an excellent Cuban spot nestled in Brickell City Center and Adrianna is the very best! She recommended the tamal as a side (which I never tried before) and it was one of my favorites of the night. But really everything was delicious. From...the Cuban Old Fashioned (my wife got a tasty mocktail), tropical ceviche, perfectly cooked steak with mojo rice, fried yuca, and mouthwatering tamal (and my wife's huge pork bowl), to finishing with the goat cheese flan - if you're hungry in the area and want great food and drinks get to Marabu!More

Busy Friday night. We were well-looked after and served by Adriana throughout the evening. The octopus starter was outstanding! My garlic shrimp were very tasty, but I would have liked a little flaked chili pepper to bump up the flavor a bit. My wife had...the flank steak and it was very nice, also.More
