"Great high end Asian. Excellent food in a beautiful room. Every fish dish we've ever ordered here has been cooked perfectly. Service is wonderful. Open kitchen is a great show. Prefer this place to other Asian options like Hakkasan (yuck) and Zuma (very good, much more of a scene, but we thought the food better here). Highly recommended."

"We found our experience to be exceptional. I made reservations for Sunday Brunch which was nothing short of incredible. This is not your typical Sunday brunch. This is an exceptional brunch with a wide selection of ethnic delights. Our waiter / service was exceptional. We have traveled all over the world, and we both agree that this dining experience was a delight and rare find. Go enjoy yourself. You will not be disappointed."

"The lunch was very good. Although everything was Asian inspired which was fine but would prefer more lunch type items like salads. Believe it is served in the outdoor area but in case you don't want to eat outside it would be nice to have."

"The service from the valet was TERRIBLE. He informed us the parking was full and offered no help to take our car to help us park. We were late for our booking but he was not interested at all. Very rude. We found parking at the parking lot next to hotel and walked back ... 3 ladies. He could have easily helped us park the car."

"I took my boyfriend for his birthday. The reviews were mixed from friends and online. The service and especially the food were excellent. My expectation was far exceeded and my boyfriend had a wonderful birthday! It is on the expensive side, but it was not exorbitant. The billl was as expected and we left very full of really good food. We will definitely return and I have been telling friends about our experience."

"It was my fourth experience at The Setai in the last two years. Unfortunate it was a frustration one ! Bad night.
a)My reservation was at 9:30 pm and I get in on time. My guest lady had hight expectations in her first time there .
b)The restaurant was almost empty and appears that they were no expecting more customers. The table was no prepared , no setting at all !
c) We had to wait at the bar aprox 20minutes.
d)Despite the waiter tried to be kind and diligent, the moment was displeasure.
e) The food ( Peking-duck) was really poor . I decided to take-it-out (" doggy-bag" ) and then at home to cook it better.!
f) The bill as usual was in excess of $350.00 .This is one of the most expensive restaurants in MBeach$$$$"

"This continues to be the only top-class restaurant in South Beach. The service is perfect. The staff listen and help throughout the hotle from the valet to the busboy. The food is very authentic and includes a real Chef from each of four different Asian regions (Thai, Insonesia, China, India) who do keep the "hot" level down while maintain full flavor. Real house-roasted spices here.
The Western dishes are amazing. Truffled chicken was heavenly"

"A must gem in what Miami SoBe is concerned. Great outstanding service, gorgeous ambience, delicious food. Overall a 9.75 out of 10. The staff is very well trained, hospitable, caring and knowledgeable. The dishes are nicely presented and the tastes are amazing. We had the Naan Bread, Truffle Dumplings and Seared Scallops for appetizers. They were all mangnifique!!! The combination of the aromas, tastes and smells were amazing. For Entrees we both had the Yagyu beef. We ordered it medium-rare and unlike most places it was perfect and not over cooked. It came in a nice decorated skillet with an Arugula stuffed tomatoe. Finally for dessert we enjoyed THE VACHERIN a delicous Vanilla and Red Fruit Whipped Cream with Meringue. Excelent."
