FIVE STAR Oyster Bar and More. Excellent Oysters of course but the addt’ls really round out the restaurant. LUMP CRAB MEAT Croquettes FANTASTIC. FRENCH FRIES THE BEST (REALLY) and to me a HALLMARK indication of a restuarant turning out FANTASTIC FOOD. cant wait to return...and try the chinese brocolli and the scallops. REALLY FINE FOODS. we made a last mintue decision to try the place as I lOVE a good restaurant/raw bar and this is my new favorite and I try them all. I was disappointed in myself not being familiar. Location great, pleanty of parking in the rear of the restuarant. Great pedestrian street with plenty of areasMore

Lots to choose from. We arrived right at the end of happy hour and shared a dozen of the St James Happy oysters at $1.50 each. Great value for money. I then had the malpeque oysters which were fresh and delicious. My wife had the...Miami cheese steak sandwich on cuban bread. It was delicious with a little kick to it. The french fries were great. Loved being able to sit outside on the side walk like Europe. Little Havana is awesome. The people were friendly and service quick and efficient. Will definitely return.More

Had the best happy hour! $5 for delicious mojitos, $1.50 oysters and $8 calamari. Everything was so fresh and the calamari came with homemade blue cheese which was lovely. Would definitely recommend stopping here in Little Havana.

My wife and I enjoyed this place. It’s a contrarian play and the chef makes the fusion work! Being local Cuban Americans, we enjoyed the different cuisine especially amongst so many Cuban, Puerto Rican, Mexican, and Central American restuarante in the immediate vicinity. The locale,...food, service, and vibe give it a A++.More

This place was amazing. Excellent food and the service was outstanding. The only online menu I saw was for the blackboard behind the till. But they have a much more extensive menu than that. You have to check it out!

Very cute and clean place in the unusual setting of the heart of Little Havana, where the trend is Cuban food, followed by Mexican and a new Puerto Rican place. Refreshingly different menu. Great happy hour 12-7pm every day: oysters for $1.25 a piece, a...deal in Miami. Also $5 regular mojitos are great. Watch out the flavored mojitos are not happy hour price, but at $9 still under what you usually pay in Miami. Oyster Rockefeller where divine, tostones freshly made not frozen where very good, crispy salmon roll was excellent. Super friendly service. Only not crazy about the Cuban crackers they serve with the oysters, too thick. Will be back often since I’m local.More

Having read an article about this gem of a place, we visited on our recent vacation and ended up staying for the afternoon. Our group of 4 had at least 8 dozen oysters, trying the various offerings they had that day. We had sangria, chatting...for a long time with the employees as we were there between meals and the place was uncrowded. We sat at the bar, watched them shuck oysters, had the best time. We felt like family and hope to visit again sometime.More

My husband and I decided to have our date night in Calle Ocho and ended up in Ella oyster bar. So glad we did. Since we opened the door, the place smelled clean and fresh. Everybody was very friendly and service was very good. Now...let me tell you about the food....super fresh and delicious. My husband and I wanted to keep eating and stay longer but the kids were waiting at home. 😁 Definitely we are going back.More

This place is a MUST in Miami! Chef Ervin Bryant's new venture, and he did not disappoint. Our server Melvin was amazing, with kind and attentive service. The atmosphere is light and fresh. They have daily Happy Hour and food specials, on Sunday they have...a brunch menu until 4pm. We had the Pork Belly Pastelito sandwich, Medianoche French Toast, and fresh Mahi-Mahi Ceviche. I also took a Medianoche Lobster roll To Go, which I know I will enjoy this evening. I am not a fan of spicy food and told the Chef, he made every dish fresh and full of flavor without using anything spicy. Public parking lot directly behind the restaurant right next to SW 16th Ave. There is back door access right in to the restaurant. Will definitely be making the trip from Miami Lakes as much as possible for this great food experience. Good Luck Chef Erv!!!!More
