If you want a spectacular beach dining experience in Miami, the best place to be is Nikki Beach Miami Beach! This place is an entire vibe, where you can feel at ease and laid-back, but also indulge in a very ritzy way. You can groove to the music and still hear the ocean waves barreling on shore, not to mention the ocean air is quite fragrant. After the delectable food and vivacious drinks have been consumed, you can walk the beach thanks to direct beach access from the restaurant. Anytime of day, I say, Nikki Beach Miami Beach is where it’s at!

Ruben from the bar went above and beyond in a busy Saturday lunch. From coconut pinacolada, espresso to a medical sour! Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful afternoon here with my sister. We shared a bottle of rosé and the Porto Heli Greek Platter, everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. Our server, Eduardo, was fantastic: kind, attentive, and respectful. The music set the perfect vibe—lively but not overwhelming

Beautiful beach club! We enjoyed lunch and drinks at the busy bar. The chicken satay was very good! The grounds are absolutely stunning! Ample seating, lounge chairs, beach beds, couches, etc. Lots of shade and space for sun, too. Gorgeous garden like atmosphere! There's even a cute boutique on site! Highly recommended!

Nikki Beach Miami is an absolute dream — the atmosphere, the energy, the vibe… everything was top, top, top! We had the best time ever, and a huge part of that was thanks to Antonio, the most incredible bartender we’ve ever met. He took care of us like absolute queens — charming, fun, professional, and just full of amazing energy. Not only the best bartender, but also the best dancer and entertainer. He made our experience unforgettable, and we’re truly grateful. Nikki Beach wouldn’t have been the same without him. 100% recommend — this place is pure magic!

I chose Nikki Beach for a brunch with my sister. We had an amazing time together, enjoying tasty food, friendly staff and nice music. I would definitely recommend this place! We ordered sexy salad, Greek platter, watermelon and feta salad, iced latte and coconut drink.

Celebrated my friends birthday here on a Saturday and it was awesome! Staff is kind and friendly. I recommend making a reservation. Great drinks and food! Wouldn’t recommend the tiramisu, wasn’t my personal favorite. The view was amazing, overall this place is great! Definitely recommend.

Loved the vibes at Nikki beach. Waiters were very attentive of our needs and always made sure we were comfortable. The beach in back of the restaurant is also very beautiful ! I felt very comfortable. I also want to add that they don’t body shame compared to other clubs I’ve been to in Miami !!! If I would’ve known this before I would have passed the majority of my trip at Nikki beach :)

Awesome spot to get drinks and chill with some friends or family! If you’re visiting South Beach and want to a chill spot! Perfect for pics come here! Drinks are good! Didn’t get to try the food but the atmosphere was awesome! They had a live DJ and a lot of places to seat and have some drinks! Definitely recommended! Service was great 👍🏼

A must visit place. We were a group of 8 people. We went here for brunch. The vibes and atmosphere of this place is amazing. The food and drinks is yummilicious. Our favourite and highly recommended ones are teriyaki salmon, greek platter, chicken spinach wrap, the live tiramisu, the vegetarian sushi rolls. The vegetarian flatbread was OK (not recommended). In drinks our favourite was the lemongrass coconut, the coconut margarita. The chocolate was OK nothing out of the blue. Our server was really nice, gave honest recommendation and was super quick.

I recently visited Nikki Beach, and I must say, the experience was absolutely phenomenal! Our waiter, Jerome, was exceptional. His attentiveness, professionalism, and warm demeanor truly elevated our time there. He made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to ensure our visit was perfect. The vibes at Nikki Beach were amazing – from the ambiance to the music, everything was on point. The entire staff provided top-notch customer service, making us feel welcomed and well cared for. Thank you, Nikki Beach, for an unforgettable experience! We'll definitely be back, and I hope Jerome gets the recognition he deserves for his outstanding service.

You have options to reserve a bed or cabana for a day, but it comes with a minimum spend requirement. Alternatively, you can sit at the bar and enjoy some snacks, or have a full meal in the dining section. Still, I highly recommend making reservations beforehand, particularly for weekend brunches. The place boasts a fantastic ambiance, ensuring you won’t get bored even if you decide to spend the entire day here. The DJ enlivens the atmosphere with impressive music. Plus, the staff are both friendly and assistive.

I enjoyed my evening at this establishment! The ambiance and esthetics were beautiful! The atmosphere was very chill, and the staff were very friendly. The food was fresh and delicious. The drinks were refreshing and tasted delightful with our appetizers and meal. Our server, Eduardo, was the sweetest and was very knowledgeable about the food & drink menus. Even though I'm not a local, I would definitely visit this restaurant again!

We had a great time at Nikki Beach and all because of Jewels the bartender. She was amazing. We didn’t have a reservation and they said there were no tables available. At first we weren’t going to get in but we insisted that we wanted to go to the bar and we are so happy that we did. We did the brunch which was $75 pp and all you can eat. I had crepes with strawberries and raspberries. My husband had pasta. They had waffles, omelette, chicken, brisket and other items. I had a poke bowl made with the ingredients I chose and it was so yummy. We celebrated my husbands birthday and she made sure we had a good time. The food was very good and the drinks were delicious! Thank you Jewels for making the day so special for us!

Nikki Beach atmosphere was everything. The food was really good! Everything came in large portions. The salmon teriyaki was pretty basic, it was kind of fishy/flavorless. The chicken satay (not pictured) was great. The watermelon feta salad was sooo scrumptious. The Greek platter was very good and the falafel was some of the best I’ve had! Service was good, it was a very nice experience. Wear dressy beachwear attire for sure

Felix was amazing! His customer service was top-tier — he constantly checked in on me and my friends and made sure we had everything we needed (and wanted!). Only God knows handling a group of tipsy, demanding ladies isn’t easy, but he did it with patience, humor, and the best energy. He made me feel beautiful, hyped me up my whole stay, and even danced with me — just a complete breath of fresh air. Felix is so easy to talk to, like one of the homegirls, which made the whole experience that much better. I honestly can’t wait to go back just so I can tip him even bigger next time. Such a sweetheart and truly a gem! 💕

Stunning beach restaurant! We sat at the bar with Tobi as our bartender and she is EXCEPTIONAL! She recommended the Sushi Platter and was the best we ever had! Thank you for making my first visit to Miami Beach so memorable!

Love getting the beds and umbrellas on the beach. Attendants are very prompt and helpful. Food service is a full menu and drinks no alcoholic and alcoholic on the beach. They’ll even move the umbrellas for you as the day goes on. Highly recommend for a day at Miami Beach. Water is clear as south pointe promontory keeps seaweed from accumulating. Also great views for the annual air show.

Nikki beach continues to be the BEST place to come. Felix makes our time the greatest every time. He sets the vibe every time and is so energetic and always such good service. We appreciate him always! Food is always absolutely amazing. 10/10

Nikki Beach in Miami has a beautiful interior and overall, it’s just a really nice place to relax and enjoy the vibe

Thank you so much to Felix !! He was so great to me and my family today while we celebrated a birthday ! We love Nikki beach and will be back per usual ❤️

We went for lunch to take my daughter and her friend to show them a trendy spot in Miami. Nikki Beach did not miss! The drinks were spot on and the atmosphere is perfect Miami vibe. Wear your sexy/nice beach outfit, you can walk right onto the beach. You can only get the cabanas and beds if you’re either 18 or 21 and up, and we couldn’t. We went to celebrate my daughter and her friends 18th birthday coming up, I mentioned this to the restaurant to see if they can do anything special, but they didn’t really offer anything. Which was fine because the place is so beautiful, the girls still loved it and my husband and enjoyed ourselves with good drinks! Would highly recommend going to Nikki Beach while in Miami!

Brett and Toby were the best! So friendly and nice and very helpful honestly give this ppl a raise! The drinks were awesome, the bed and bottle experience was amazing, I think it’s a must for sure, all staff were so nice and friendly. This was our first time in Miami but definitely not the last one.

always such a fun experience. Beach club is fun lively but with a more peaceful atmosphere too, and then the beach access it self is awesome! highly reccommend esp for girls trips and what not!

Great place to have a relaxing day on a day bed or cabana, tan or nap in shade. Easy access to the ocean, good food, pleasant staff. Clean overall. Recommend hanging out here for a couple hours.

We had a phenomenal experience. Food was good, sun was shining, but what really stood out was the kindness of Jessica. She was genuine and didn’t miss on anything! ❤️ Also a huge shoutout to Monica who got us in and came multiple times to check on us

This was my favorite experience while in South Beach. The atmosphere is amazing!! Live saxophonist and violinist played music while we ate. The ambience was welcoming and upscale. The drinks and food was awesome, especially the lobster ravioli! My wife and I will visit again

I just love love love Nikki Beach!!! I’ve been several times and the selection of items is amazing! My favorite is the pasta station!!! You can sit indoors or out. I definitely only bring my best of friends here ❤️ Always a great time and yummy food!!!

I decided to celebrate my birthday at Nikki Beach. I made reservations online through OpenTable. The customer service with Nikki Beach is amazing. They answered any questions and concerns that I had. When we walked in, we were taken on time for our reservation. Nikki Beach is a chic beach club with different daybeds, cabanas, and lounges that you can rent to enjoy Miami Beach. I had a party of seven people, and I rented the double daybeds which gave us enough room. When are taken to your rental, you meet your waiter/waitress who would be with you the entire day. With your reservation, you have the rental for the entire day so you’re able to leave your things go to the beach and come back. Also, with your reservation, you must order a pitcher or bottle service purchase. We started off with the Nikki Beach Mojitos. Also each person in your party, depending on the day of the week must spend a minimum amount of money on food and beverage. My birthday is during Memorial Day weekend, and since I had a party of seven, we had to spend up to $700 as a whole ($100 minimum spend per person on food and beverage). All of the food tasted great, especially their shrimp tempura tacos, which had a large pieces of shrimp with avocado. Their infamous piña colada drink in the coconut was very good and strong. Also, be mindful of how much you are spending. You can ask your waiter how much you have spent thus far, therefore you can make sure you don’t overspend if you’re working with a budget. If you’re looking to enjoy Miami Beach and get the typical Miami experience, come to Nikki beach.

Had an amazing time at Nikki Beach! The atmosphere was vibrant and stylish, with great music and a beautiful setup right by the water. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the food and drinks were top quality. Definitely a perfect spot to relax, enjoy the sun, and have a good time with friends. Will absolutely come back again!

Nikki Beach Miami was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was vibrant and lively, perfect for a relaxing day by the beach. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly. We loved the music, the beautiful setting, and the overall energy of the place. It’s a great spot to enjoy good food, great vibes, and a fun beachside experience. Highly recommend!

Jerome was our server and he was phenomenal. He provided us with great suggestions, was very attentive and kind. The food was very good and the pina colada came in a coconut you can take with you and it tasted amazing. Also the atmosphere was so nice being off the beach with beautiful greenery and wild life.

We were walking by this place on the boardwalk and were immediately drawn in by the vibe—people chilling out in cabanas, tents, and sofas listening to great music! There’s also a garden near the bar where you can hang around near plants, have finger food, and listen to the music. The food was great as well! A tad pricey with small portions, but really tasty! We had the watermelon feta salad and sweet potato fries.

Nikki Beach is such a vibe! The only downside is that if you’re going solo, you can’t access the beds or premium seating, but Tobie at the bar truly made up for it. Even though we only chatted briefly, her energy was amazing, her service was impeccable, and she even helped me charge my phone. I can’t wait to come back with a group and experience even more of what Nikki Beach has to offer.

My birthday lunch at this restaurant was amazing. When we walked onto the patio, it felt so chill and relaxed, like we were in Tulum or something. The salad was awesome, especially the fresh crab. And even though the nigiri was a bit pricey at $10 for two pieces, it was totally worth it. The drinks were great too, really added to the vibe. Leaving was tough. I had such a good time. This place stands out in a city full of options. Can't wait to go back and do it all again.

Will be on the pricey side, but you get your money's worth in terms of location, ambiance, quality and service. Music was spot on and we enjoyed ourselves during afternoon hours.

This place is definitely worth the hype although the food can be somewhat described as a bit overpriced. I enjoyed having dinner here with my significant other. The place is gorgeous - it looks like an oasis / resort restaurant material. The food was amazing, service was great and the vibes were on point.

The service is great got a lounge sitting area nice and easy. Champagne was really cold, waitress was very attentive, food was good. Manager is beyond spectacular to make sure our time was memorable. Music and ambiance was fun as well.

Nikki Beach Miami is a relaxing, upscale experience. The music was at the perfect level, the service was excellent—our needs were anticipated without asking—and the food was fresh and flavorful. I’m not big on buffets, but I appreciated the served food options too. Having a daybed for the full day adds to the comfort and helps justify the cost. It’s pricey ($150 for the bed, $85/person buffet, plus a required bottle), but that’s expected in South Beach. Direct beach access and personal fans at each bed were a nice bonus. Worth it if you’re looking to splurge on a chill, luxurious day.

If you’re looking for a top tier beach club in Miami you have to check out Nikki Beach! We rented a cabana for the day and it was such a fun time! There is a minimum spend per person with a cabana but it’s very easy to do so when you order food and drinks. The food here was extremely delicious! We did the sushi boat and a couple of other dishes to share. Nikki Beach isn’t on the actual beach but you just cross the walkway and then you’re on the beach. So you can hop back and forth into the ocean easily. Our server was amazing and overall we had a great time!

I was delighted to learn of Nikki Beach's Miami opening. Having frequented the Dubai location, I consider it the premier beach club globally. I contacted Mr. Gurkan directly to reserve a table and traveled from New York. I am particularly pleased that Mr. Gurkan spearheaded this new venture; South Beach truly needed such a sophisticated establishment. The entrance is stunning, a marked departure from other venues. The hostess was exceptionally gracious and accommodating. Our server provided excellent service and allowed ample time for our selection from the extensive and delicious menu. The cocktails were superb. The overall dining experience was exceptional. The service was impeccable, with staff consistently attentive. We plan to return in late February to celebrate my birthday, and I eagerly anticipate it. I extend my best wishes to the entire Nikki Beach team.

Just went today, the food was amazing!! Felix was our server and he was the best 🙌🏽 Went above and beyond and was so attentive! One of the best servers we’ve had in a long time. We will come again

This place is a VIBEEEEE. When I’m in Miami I make Sunday my Nikki Beach Day - grab a day bed. Enjoy the brunch buffet. Grab some drinks. And just hang out, take pictures, get your tan on. The beach is there too. Highly recommended. Would only say they need just a bit more staff. Else 10/10. Dress to impress beach style. Come early - leave late.

Es un restaurant/parado de playa súper exclusivo. En cuanto al restaurant les puedo decir que tiene una ambientación increíble, la atención es sencillamente brillante y la calidad de los platos es excelente. No tengo ninguna duda en que voy a volver, debe ser uno de los mejores restaurantes de playa en los que he comido.

El lugar es muy bueno, cuentan con espacios abiertos y privados, la música es buena, el servicio es rápido, hay buena variedad de bebidas y comida, pero la comida no es lo mejor del lugar. Sin duda alguna volvería a ir.

This place is so aesthetically pleasing. The vibe and the music is great, the service is great most of the time. The food is just okay, the drinks feel watered down, what is really selling here is the location and picture-perfect set up of this restaurant/beach club. There are daybeds available to rent right in front of the restaurant and on the beach. I love that you can also order drinks on the beach and take them to your daybed! Yes, this place is expensive, and reservations are highly recommended.

Great location right on the beach and definitely a classic Miami vibe. The atmosphere is fun, music is good, and it’s a solid spot if you’re looking to enjoy drinks with friends by the ocean. That said, it’s pricey — you’re paying for the experience and the name. Service was decent but not outstanding, especially when it gets busy. Overall, good for the ambiance and social scene, just go in knowing it’s more about the vibe than the food.

We loved our time at Nikki Beach! I enjoyed the vibe and atmosphere as well as the service. Portions were small and prices are expensive, however, taste was average. I liked the fact that you can easily go to the beach while you’re waiting for your order. Overall, good experience!

The place has a very great esthetic but I think that the price to book a bed is pretty costly and not many people want to spend that amount. And most of the payed seats are empty. But.. we ordered the pinacolada and it was great! Each of us ordered twice and couldn’t enjoy more since it started raining. Lucky we didnt pay the bed and choose the free seats, because we wouldn’t be able to enjoy it as it rain pretty heavily. Overall I would say it’s a nice beach club. It would be better if they have pool in it

+3

We were here for 3-4 hours. Got a chill vibe. Drinks were good. They do not have a pool. Day beds on the beach appeared pricey to me. $100K for a couple. We ordered a Margherita pizza. It was huge. In our view, too cheesy. On the deep dish side and not gourmet. They ask for a credit card and physical ID to open a tab (which is fair). Service was slow despite not having much of a crowd

Beautiful place and it’s very busy, be sure to make a reso! The mango mojito cocktail was awesome, I’d definitely recommend it!! We kept it light for lunch with the sexy salad and barefoot bowl, food was delicious but prices are expensive and portions are small. Service was good they add a 20% gratuity to the bill. The atmosphere was great it’s a must stop when in south beach.

+6

It’s a lovely place for a full day or having lunch and dinner or brunch (only weekends). You can book a bed or cabana for a day; it has minimum spending. You can sit at the bar and order bar snacks. You can have a meal in the dining area. In any case, I strongly recommend booking in advance, specially for weekend brunch. It has a great vibe, you wouldn’t get bored if you are here for the day. The DJ is really good and plays good music. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Their cocktails are a must try; I had one of the best mojitos here; Pina-colada in coconut shell and Paloma were good, too. “Sexy Salad” is a must try. Great combination of seafood served in a tartar style. We also enjoyed “ceviche tacos” and “Tuna Rainbow Salad”.

This was my first time visiting Nikki Beach, and upon entering the restaurant, my first reaction was that this place was beautiful. I went to the brunch and I arrived early. Early enough to get a couch. My waitress Kirene was such a sweetheart, and she made my experience even more relaxing. I went into some trouble with the waffle maker, but that was quickly sorted out by the manager Ernest. The food was delicious. I especially loved the salmon, paella, and the roasted pineapple dipped in alcohol. They had a dj, so all in all, it's a great ambiance. By the way, I went solo for all my solo people out there.

When it's hot outside during the summer you're gonna sweat, since there aren't enough fans or shade to compensate for the heat. But they were kind enough to let us sit at a different table, and helped us adjust the umbrella to cover us better. They sometimes had live music, sometimes a DJ, and sometimes just a pre-recorded track, but the music was pretty good no matter what they played! We got the samurai sushi platter, which I recommend. Decent sushi, served on ice so it stayed pretty chill despite the summer heat.

For starters the overall aesthetic of this place is beautiful. Music definitely could have been better. I went on a Friday with my sister and I was expecting more. There were a nice amount of minorities and definitely would have apprêt Music a little more mainstream or at least more of a mix. In addition it began to get windy at night and would have loved to be offered a blanket or something for comfort. I definitely would have stayed and spent way more. Food was decent. I could’ve ran the bill on them shrimp tacos cuz they were awesome. Everything else was just ok.. 10/10 recommend those mojitos. 1 pitcher of that almost had me and my sister on our ass. lol Service 10/10 Overall I don’t think I seen what the rave has been about. I spent over $400 just to be satisfied with the mojitos, tacos and service. Had the music been better, blankets offered and expanded food menu I would’ve spent way more and recommended this place to EVERYBODY.

I don’t drink bottles all that much, so getting a bed at the main club area wasn’t needed. My wife and I got a double bed by the beach for $100 and paid for food and drinks as needed. Would definitely come back.

Sophisticated and laid-back, but could get bland and campy very quickly depending on the crowd or the weather, or both. Food's decent but that's expected for the price tag and the 20% regulation tip. Definitely a great place to chill with your special someone or your family or your gang. And best enjoyed with the sunset, weather permitting.

Celebrating 55th birthday!! Although I have this restaurant 4 stars there are aspects that don’t have a star. Firstly, there is no valet parking you are on your own and we had to valet with Hilton hotel ($50). Secondly, they do not split tab and bring 1 check to table. Never had this done in life and I’ve visited 42 of the 50 states and much nicer and expensive restaurants. Thirdly, they added 20% gratuity for 5 people which means that’s all the server will get from me because you decided what I would give. I typically tip more. And lastly, they require one person from group give ID and credit card before placing order. Ok, this is a bit much!!! As stated, in all other 42 states I’ve never had this happen. I guess the people frequenting their restaurant leave frequently without paying tab. Smh We also wanted to reserve a cabana ($300 on weekend) BUT each guest MUST spend $100. This would be an issue if person doesn’t drink alcohol which helps to increase tab. I actually spent $59 and was full so I would have to find a way to spend the $100. This a bit much for a restaurant with no valet. Definitely asking too much but not giving much in return. Otherwise, I loved the atmosphere, we had a nice serger BUT she didn’t earn a 20% gratuity. She wasn’t bad but I’ve had much better service. When we asked for extra paper napkins we got paper towels they use in restroom. At a restaurant like this. Smh Ny salmon food was delicious BUT my nieces sandwich and chicken fajitas were okay!! And the young man removing dishes from table was very friendly. Overall, I won’t be going back because so inconvenient to visit. The traffic on the weekend is Horrible. We were in Ft. Lauderdale and it took us almost 1 hr 45 minutes to cover 32 miles. As stated there was no valet so we had to find parking. Btw, the music was great and the videos show each individual playing instrument along with music played by DJ.

This was a good lunch experience. I came for lunch with my parents. My dad is a tough critic, but for each dish he ordered, he said it tasted good, which is a very high review. The jumbo lump crab cake, broccolini, and chicken quesadilla were ordered for appetizers. The crab cake and quesadillas were memorable. For the main course, salmon, the veggie flat bread, and a chicken stir-fry type dish were ordered. All were tasty. For dessert, cake and cookie were so yummy. We recommend these. The cookie was big enough to share. Overall,it was a nice lunch. A bit too pricey, but nice for a special occasion.

Visiting from Toronto and we had a decent experience. Food wasn’t as great as it could’ve been for the prices you’re paying and the drinks were good. We opted for the day beds which were good! The service however was abysmal at best, we had to wait almost 45 minutes just to order one pizza and a drink the first time around so that was a bummer. Parking was $50, we thought it was valet but it was self park.

If you’re wandering around South Beach and just want to kick back with a drink and soak up some good vibes, Nikki Beach is a solid choice. I didn’t try the food, but from what I saw around me, it looked pretty average—not bad, just nothing mind-blowing. What really stands out at Nikki Beach is the vibe. The whole place gives off major Tulum energy with its beachy, boho decor—think cozy daybeds, white curtains flowing in the breeze, and palm trees all around. It’s the kind of spot where you can grab your favorite cocktail from the bar, settle in, and just relax while people-watching or taking in the ocean breeze. It’s not a wild party scene (unless you go during one of their big events), but if you’re in the mood for something more laid-back with a chic, tropical feel, Nikki Beach won’t disappoint. Perfect for a sunny afternoon when all you really need is a good drink in hand and a chill atmosphere.

I’ve seen and heard the hype on social media so I booked a table for 6 guests for a Saturday. Parking is crazy so PLEASE arrive 30 minutes before time and Valet is also an option. Due to parking we were 20 minutes late for our reservation and had to wait an additional 40 minutes to be seated. Once seated, our serve was clearly busy but she introduced herself and presented a bottle of water to the table. We sites 30 minutes just to put in our appetizers. We had the pasta, steak and quesadillas is it was OK! The atmosphere was definitely busy and energetic as the DJ was playing house music. Th drinks were very tasty as well. I will return when it’s less busy!

Amazing Sunday’s Brunch was AMAZING! Such a sweet and accommodative staff. The food was delicious. A buffet style, but everything seemed clean. The atmosphere was really chic and picturesque. My small complaint is when I booked our Amazing Sunday Brunch reservation, we wanted a daybed as well and they wouldn’t let us book that additionally.

Definitely a vibe! We celebrated a friend's birthday here and had a great time. The space itself is very aesthetic - lots of seating and it was pretty busy and lively. The food was okay - the portions are large and it is a tad pricey but we didn't have high hopes, as you are here more for the vibe/aesthetic than the food. However, the lychee martini was delicious! You have a designated server and ours was so much fun. He was very attentive/polite, but also a fun time/cracking jokes etc. We had rented a cabana - which was a decent size for four girls. Overall, a fun and relaxing vibe but definitely $$$$.

Nikki Beach offers a great atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing day out. The seafood was really good, especially the oysters, which were a highlight. The menu isn’t very extensive, so there weren’t many options to choose from, but it's more of a place for drinks, chatting, and enjoying light appetizers. The drinks were well-crafted and tasty, though they could’ve used a little more spirit for the price. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it for a laid-back, stylish outing. Just a heads up — reservations are a must!

+1

The vibe is immaculate. But let’s be honest. The food subpar . It’s basic. Oysters were the only good thing. The ambiance it’s very pretty and the nature is absolutely beautiful. Wish they improved the food menu.

The weather was not the best. It was raining in and out and the staff was very accommodating in moving us upstairs. The tempura shrimp tacos and crispy fish sandwich were EXTREMELY bready. The tempura batter was heavy on the seafood. The Havana banana drink had an overpowering hibiscus flavor… expected more banana. The lavender gin drink was okay. The colada drink that came in the coconut was tasty and aesthetically pleasing. The lobster mango roll was very tasty. The chicken quesadilla did not have the chicken evenly spread. One piece had only cheese and the other had mainly chicken and no cheese. I had high expectations for Nikki beach but I guess because most people come for the party scene, not much is to be expected regarding food and drink.

The venue itself is very nice. The food and drinks were also good. Our waiter Miguel was extremely slow. It took him more than 20 mins in between visits to our area. I did notice he had a large serving section but he had absolutely no sense of urgency and didn't apologize for making us wait.

Unfortunately, I had high expectations of this place. The food was beyond basic. The $22 coconut colada has only 8 oz of liquid. The vibe and music were definitely nice, but I would never eat there again. The chunky man at the door was rude and dismissive. Not only did he lie to me, but he refused us twice. I had to call Nikkis to make sure they would provide us with a table.

The food is undeniably great but the service will get he reason i would never return ! It took our server over 15 minutes to come to our table and when the server did arrive I was not properly greeted… the server was very nonchalant and left me feeling like I should have never came

I loved the beach vibes, but I expected more from what comes to food and service. Our Tuna Poke Bowl had frozen bits of tuna in it. Our dishes were served without utensils or napkins. We were a party of 4, and when we asked for utensils, only one single fork was brought to the table. So, the lack of attention greatly disappointed us.

+5

Let me preface by saying that I am a die-hard Nikki Beach fan—I have visited around five locations globally over the past several years. Unfortunately, this location has made changes that have severely worsened what should be an incredible experience. The new requirement that daybed guests MUST purchase a bottle before making any other purchases is ludicrous. We are used to, and fine with, spending $$$$ on alcohol, but we used to be able to buy cocktail pitchers. Apparently, this is no longer an option. After arguing with staff and discussions with the manager, we negotiated purchasing a pitcher (though they only gave us the option of a regular mojito or a regular margarita), despite their comprehensive cocktail list. Due to this debacle, we couldn't order food until over an hour into our daybed reservation—they physically wouldn't even provide us with food menus until we placed our drink orders. Very difficult and unnecessarily frustrating experience. I hope this location will re-think their policies. We were there on a Friday afternoon and the place was largely empty. Sad to see, but I'm hoping for a resurgence in quality experience in the near future.

I was a little underwhelmed. The cost of the brunch was twice the price than advertised. The food was average, the sushi was some of the worst I’ve had. The prime rib was decent. Service was friendly but slow. The atmosphere made up for the rest, it was a beautiful outdoor restaurant and it was nice to lounge around and munch in the sunshine (and the rain).

This place had one of the best fries Ive ever had! I had Chicken Avocado Wrap. It was really delicious! The quantity of chicken was really good so it was quite filling. The Pina Colada was served in a coconut and tasted really well. The server was really sluggish and didn't really did a good job of conveying some of the modifications my friend's had asked. Overall food and ambience was great and may be a not up to the mark with their prices, considering the poor service, especially.

Nice place with good atmosphere, great DJ and saxophone player ! The food though is low quality and even look like many food stations , it doesn’t look at all like the items you order from a la carte. If you have a bit later reservation, then forget to find any fruits or desserts left and they will just tell you is finished. Will not try again , the price is too high for such low quality food .

El ambiente maravilloso! El lugar es bien bonito y tiene una vibra bien cool. Ahora! El servicio es de los más lentos que he visto. Estuve cerca de 30minutos o más esperando un trago. Los vasos se nos vaciaban y ellos ni cuenta se daban. Realmente por culpa del mal servicio no estuvimos más tiempo. Estuvimos de 4:00pm a 7:00pm y solo me tomé dos tragos porque los meseros no aparecían!!!! Una locura. En fin. El lugar es bonito pero el servicio hace que no quieras volver JAMÁS!

Went to Nikki Beach on a Saturday. Was immediately surprised by the extremely aggressive pricing : $150 rental for a sunbed + $100 min spend pp + OBLIGATION to order either a champagne or liquor, starting price at $225 + 20% tip priced in. For 2 persons we're looking at 500-600$ minimum spend here. This could be fine (given it's south beach) if everything was perfect, but we're far from it.. Staff is slow and clueless. There is NO SWIMMING POOL. The beach access is not controlled (no wristband) and there were people from outside entering freely to take pictures. The DJ and music were cool but nothing amazing. And a large part of the club stays in the shade most of the afternoon because of the high rise nearby. For this price tag, I've been to much better fancy beach clubs in the caribeans (Tulum, SXM etc)

I reserved a cabana at Nikki beach for my birthday. When we arrived, my friends were dropping us off and the valet person put the cone up to block us entering and then walked away, my friend honked to get his attention and he dismissively pointed at the "lot full" sign. We tried to get his attention to explain that we weren't parking, just dropping off but he ignored us and walked off. We got out of the car and walked up to the security guy who asked for our ID's and just said go that way to get in. We find our way to the host stand and I was asked for my reservation, they couldn't find it since apparently between the time I booked it and that day, they stopped using opentable for reservations. This was not communicated with me by the venue prior to my arrival. I do not feel as though this was my issue because when I booked, the website directed me to opentable. The hostess said luckily we have cabanas for you as if I was a walk in. I booked the cabana March 21st. Sunday April 13th was my birthday and so far the experience was extremely off putting. The woman who walked us to the cabana dryly said enjoy and walked away as if we were inconveniencing her by simply being there. My friends and I were discussing leaving as our server arrived. Kovi (spelling) was the only reason that we decided to stay. He heard our frustrations and promised to make my birthday special. The service at this establishment should be wayyyy better given the price. And especially when someone is celebrating a special occasion. For the waiter to be the only one that made us feel comfortable and special is outrageous. People come and pay for a pleasant experience and aside from Kovi, zero other interactions were pleasant. If I could individually give Kovi 5 stars I would because he is the only saving grace. He was the only reason my birthday wasn't ruined. Thank you Kovi!!!

Honestamente me lo imaginé algo mucho más…. El famoso Nikki beach, resultó súper decepcionaste. Hicimos reservación y para estar allá nos cobraron 150 dollares, es importante mencionar que dos horas después empezó a llover fuerte y nunca paró, no se ofreció ningún comoelmro ni nada para mejorar esa situación. Luego a fuerza quieren que pidas la botella y no hay cocteles. La comida está más o menos, digamos que bien para un beach club. Pedimos ostras y no estaban bien limpiadas pero estaban frescas. Y algunas entradas que no volvería a pedir. La música…gran decepción. Deberían de revisar u poner algo mejor🥹 En general no se les recomiendo

Service was very bad. Paid full price for a bed half day & were taken back to one that was already occupied by 2 girls who were asked to leave once we arrived. They had all of their belongings all over the bed and table. Along with a bucket of ice & glass cups. I expected the table be cleared and brought a fresh bucket of ice & glasses but the server proceeds to scoop the USED ice for our drink! I stop him and request a new bucket & instead he begins to argue with me! He insists that the bucket full of melted ice hadn’t been used. Then with an attitude says, “fine”. He brings a new bucket of ice but then begins to pour into the 2 already used cups that were on the table! I stopped him & he literally rolled his eyes, continued to argue with me saying the cups sitting next to the girls’ belongings hadn’t been used. He threw the water out of the cups onto the sand with aggression. This is completely unacceptable low quality service. Thankfully, another Latino server was already on top of it bringing us fresh cups. I expect Nikki beach to answer for this servers behavior. ****update*** nikki beach management has yet to respond to this review & shows no concerns for employing aggressive servers. For a woman this place is not safe.

I GOT FOOD POISONING!! I used to love this club, it was my favorite in Miami and I was happy to bring my friend there for the food and atmosphere experience for her first time in Miami. We came 2 days ago and it was empty! Hostess said they are serving people only upstairs and said $50 minimum per person- ok! We ordered sushi, salmon, edamame, chicken and some wine and non alcoholic cocktail. Sushi didn’t taste fresh at all! Nori was coming out when you take it and I tried shrimp and crabs meat- gross and not fresh at all!! Server picked up plate full of sushi and didn’t ask a word about it!!! We paid for it. I ate salmon and spinach / two hours later I start being sick! Barely came to the airport with uber and I threw up 6 times and had bad diarrhea!!! I was shaking for next three hours!! Ridiculous how bad the food poisoning was!! Be careful! If a restaurant is empty, DO NOT EAT THERE!! If server doesn’t ask what’s wrong with your food after you barely touched it/ something is off!!!

The food was fine, but honestly, keeping a guest’s credit card and ID is completely unacceptable. It’s outrageous to hold someone’s personal documents just to make sure they pay the bill — in that time, anything could be done with the card or the ID. That kind of practice is a total no-go at this level of hospitality. It shows a real lack of professionalism and trust.

Coconut water was spoiled, waiter seemed to be way too preoccupied. Didn’t even fill up our water for us another waiter had to do it after waiting 15 minutes, ordered something else he never even put it in the system. Honestly worst experience I think I’ve had ever in Miami. Then as well, we walk in, the lady in the front said there was no tables for the day… I had a friend of mine walk to her 5 minutes after and magically there was a table. Very rude service, won’t be coming back here again.

I had a sun bed there but they didn’t give me a table to be able to have a lunch!!! To be able to eat normally at the table I had to go outside and find a table in some other place. It was just because I was alone. If I were not alone, they would find me a table. It’s not acceptable at all to have an attitude like this with your guests! Awful! I cannot recommend this place to people who prefer to travel alone!

Ok if you to this places due to the food and take pictures of the place fine 👍 but that’s it the service is nasty! They do not accept Apple Pay they were saying due to the phone service, which works at all times, then they put you in to the worst place ever just behind the restaurant where you’re backing up the beach we ask for an extra umbrella so we can cover the other side of the bed which it was 50+taxes until 6:30pm, the umbrella never came or was placed the server they so pushy about you at the first time you enter you spending money which o do understand but I want to order food and drinks whenever I’m ready to I don’t want to be forced to eat or drink if I want to to go the beach first, then the server as we were paying cash he was I need 300$ deposit cash just to make sure you’re spending the minimum here spend is 100$ We have him 250 he was so pissed off bc we didn’t give him the 300$ …. Then the beach is acces from everywhere meaning the ppl who did not pay anything for being in Nikki’s can go without paying nothing they do not have showers at least after you go on the beach, it’s crazy also that the parking place, for Nikki’s they do accept Apple Pay and then inside they don’t 🤥, then the food was ok the cesar salad and the mushroom pizza they were pretty good im not gonna lie, and then we wanted a juice with the food bc we don’t tolerate food with alcohol, then the server was forcing us saying if you DO NOT purchase a 75$+ tax drink either mojito, Paloma rose and other 2 you Can’t get anything to drink 😱😱 we we’re like ok then any juice? He said no, can we get charge 75$ and give us 2 beers, he said no, he said to get beers you MUST first get the 75$ big drink then you can continue drinking whatever you want, so NASTY, at the end we finished getting the Paloma rose or Paloma something and it was full of alcohol but I was the only driving so we didn’t even drink it, oh and also by the host in the front she said we can’t leave if we don’t spend 100$ at least and we have to show them the receipt other ways we can’t leave and we can’t check in. So keep on mind this 🫡 bye

I tried to have lunch with my family and was told no tables were available, even though a long line was seated before me without reservations and I saw empty areas to eat. I was told we could sit in the garden area and when we tried to do so the owner fake nicely walked us out saying we could go somewhere else. What a shame. I’ve heard nice things and wanted to patronize your business. I left feeling disrespected. If you don’t allow young families, just say so directly instead of being passive aggressive. God bless.

First of all, for travelers or locals hesitating about going to Nikki Beach, it’s important to remember what this beach club originally stands for: a clean, all-white design, well-crafted menu, but above all a crazy atmosphere. the kind of place where people are on their feet, dancing on tables, celebrating life from early afternoon, with DJs setting the vibe, musicians roaming around, and servers who turn an ordinary day into an unforgettable party. Many of us share those iconic Nikki Beach afternoons… loud, festive, sun-soaked moments, with music, movement, and familiar faces etched in our memories. That is exactly the mindset I was looking for when I went back this winter 2026. My God… We arrived around 3:30 pm, on a weekend, and the place was… half empty. Only about a third of the beds were occupied, half the tables were empty, and there was plenty of space at the bar. Everyone was sitting down - not a single guest dancing. At the bar, a man asked in a very cold tone: “ID please.” I handed mine over, and he replied just as coldly: “Both,” since I was with a friend. Same tone while serving us. We asked if we could sit at one of the tables (the atmosphere was so tense we felt the need to ask), and the answer was: “It’s not convenient, it’s not the same register.” Come on, We’re at Nikki Beach, a place originally positioned as “luxury,” is it our problem if it’s a different register? Anyway, we paid for our first drinks at the bar and then sat at a table to order more. Barely seated, a young server - again, very cold (location: Florida, temperature: North Pole) - jumped on us: “You need to consume if you sit here.” Girl… we’re on vacation, at Nikki Beach. Of course we’re going to order, we didn’t come here to count coconuts. After 25 minutes (which feels long for a venue that wants you to consume quickly), someone finally took our order: beverages and pizza - decent. A saxophonist and a bassist then started playing in front of the DJ, stares from the few guests present. In short: servers (with a few exceptions) who seemed irritated, behaving more like staff in a low-budget resort, and above all - and probably related - a completely dead atmosphere. Bottom line: one to avoid, unless you’re simply looking for a classic beachfront lunch. For those seeking the iconic Nikki Beach party experience, St. Barth and Mykonos are far better options. Enjoy Miami! 🙂

I had a very unpleasant experience with the host named Gule, who had pink hair. From the moment we arrived, her attitude felt rude and dismissive. The way she spoke to us came across as disrespectful and unwelcoming, and the interaction made us feel very uncomfortable. Customer service should make guests feel valued, but this experience was the opposite. I hope management looks into how guests are being treated, because no one should feel singled out or looked down on when visiting.

We had lunch at this restaurant today. Upon arrival, the server (SIERRA A) immediately asked us to hand over our ID card and credit card ???? At first, I gave them because I thought it was standard procedure, but later I noticed she didn't ask other guests for the same. At the end of the meal, they charged my card without bringing the POS terminal to the table and just told me to sign the receipt. Only then did they return my card and ID (they had my documents for 2 hours!). Later, I realized this is probably not legal and that they could have copied all my personal data from the ID and the card. I’m going to report this to the police. Be careful!

When we first arrived at Nikki Beach, the decoration and atmosphere were great — it felt like a beautiful, high-end beachside spot. We ordered the chicken wrap; I ate one at the restaurant and took the second one home. As soon as I ate it later, I became seriously sick — I couldn’t sleep, felt nauseous, and ended up vomiting. I have no allergies and usually eat everything, so this was very concerning. For the price and the reputation, this kind of food quality is unacceptable. To make things worse, while we were sitting at the beachside bed, a worker came over and told us they were closing — which is fine. But she abruptly removed the mattress and threw it on the sand right next to us. It felt rushed and disrespectful, especially considering the setting and what we were paying for. Nikki Beach has the potential to offer a premium experience, but between the bad food and the poor service at closing, I left very disappointed.

Horrible experience at Nikki Beach Miami. We arrived a little before noon and were the first guests there, yet the two hostesses, Monica and a brunette with a ponytail, told us that all the beds were sold out and that we had to go to the beach. This seemed very strange to us since it was low season, and we had even tried to book by email a few days earlier without receiving any reply. Luckily, we ran into the manager, who kindly and professionally said he would set up a bed especially for us. However, Monica still disagreed and then told us there was a $200 minimum spend. We said that was fine, but explained that we don’t drink alcohol and would consume food and non-alcoholic beverages to reach that minimum. She then said no, that we absolutely had to order a bottle, and started talking about financial matters without knowing anything about our means. This policy is very strange. If I’m pregnant or don’t drink for other reasons, does that mean I can’t access Nikki Beach? Am I supposed to buy a bottle just to leave it untouched? We gave up negotiating for a bed in the restaurant area and spent the day on the Nikki Beach sand instead, where our meals, sushis and wraps, were served in lunch boxes (see photo), which is far below the level of service this establishment usually advertises. Around 4:30 pm, we walked back inside Nikki Beach which was supposedly “sold out” only to find that about 90% of the beds were empty (see photo). It became clear to us that Monica’s refusal wasn’t because the place was sold out or because we didn’t drink alcohol, but simply because she didn’t like our physical appearance. After speaking with other guests, we learned that younger-looking people are not always welcome (we are 26 and 27 years old), which could explain why she didn’t want us there that day. Thanks anyway to the manager Brandon, who did try to welcome us and even invited us to come back, and to Cazeau for his impeccable service on the beach.

The food and service are good, exactly as you’d expect from Nikki Beach. But the atmosphere… pretty boring. Everyone just sits on their own daybed. You can tell that people are up for a party, but it just never really gets going (and we went on Saturday, which is supposed to be the best day). We also really missed having a swimming pool.. that’s what creates a fun vibe and is nice and refreshing, and it should be a standard feature at a beach club anyway. Overall, this was a real disappointment compared to the Nikki Beaches in Europe that we’ve been to.

This isn’t the place for a diverse group. Beautiful atmosphere won’t disguise your crappy service and mediocre food. Wanted to come here with my friends to have a relaxing day but that’s not what happened. We walked in and asked for a table and they told us a weird confusing story and told us we could sit in the back (near nothing by the bathrooms) or at the bar but it was full. My friend and I were so confused and dissmissed we had to regather for a second I went back by myself and had to ask for clarification “I’m with two people we would like a table to sit down and eat I understand there’s a minimum that’s not the problem”. They finally seat us (there’s were plenty of available tables) and the waiter maybe visited us a total of 4 times during our time there. Didn’t get us waters, the coconut I order tasted spoiled and mushy (I’m Brazilian I know when a coconut is rotten), and barely served us always seemed in a rush and you could barely hear over the loud music. He did not care for our table at all, not even to the point of asking about allergies. There was something on my sushi I didn’t know would be on it and I would’ve avoided bc I’ve developed a new allergy. I didn’t get to ask to make sure they don’t cross contaminate my sushi without other shellfish. I developed an anaphylactic reaction later that day and safe to say I’m never coming back. Our experience was horrible.

If I could give zero stars I would , my family had a reservation at 3 , waited around for over 45 minutes for a table after the table we were about to be given was taken by someone else … the manager did this ….. I watched people pay hostesses up to $100 to cut all of the people that were waiting for reservations. I have a nice looking family , but I feel like if we were in things and hair extensions we would have been waited on sooner
