The Setai, Miami Beach

I had an amazing experience at Jaya at The Setai, Miami Beach. From the moment we arrived, everything felt elegant, welcoming, and truly special. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful — a perfect combination of luxury, great energy, and a relaxing Miami vibe. The food was excellent, with beautiful presentation, fresh flavors, and a great variety of dishes. Every bite felt carefully prepared, and the drinks were just as enjoyable. The ambiance really makes the experience unforgettable, from the gorgeous setting to the attention to detail throughout the restaurant. The service was also wonderful — the staff was friendly, professional, and made sure we had a great evening. Jaya at The Setai is more than just a restaurant; it’s a complete dining experience. Perfect for a special night out, celebrations, or anyone looking to enjoy amazing food in one of Miami Beach’s most beautiful locations. Definitely a place I would love to visit again and highly recommend!

Absolutely stunning restaurant! The open air roof, the performers, the DJ, it was a. Incredible vibe! The tuna tacos were good, a little too soft…the chicken was too spicy! The ribs were good. The chicken fried rice was simple and ok. Lamb chops very good but small. Very overpriced as expected in Miami. Dinner and a show well worth it. Birthday dessert was a plus.

Came for Sunday brunch , got a great Table by the water . Our server Annie was sweet and showed us around the buffet . Espresso martini bar was awesome drinks were strong . Overall food was good there were a few things that missed the mark but a large variety so understandable. Great jazz band and relaxing ambiance. Buffet gets crowded and lines form after 1pm it seems . I took one star away because they give you a two hour limit , but after about an hour and 30 minutes the server came to let us know our time was up . We payed the bill and was trying to finish our drink when a manger came up and once again told us they needed the table which I found very tacky when you have a 400$ bill , also Valet is 35$ which is kinda over priced for a few hours . Overall I was pleased and will be back but let me finish my drink …

We visited this restaurant as a family and had a truly wonderful experience. From the moment you arrive, everything feels thoughtfully designed — the entrance, the surrounding area, the flow of the space. The atmosphere is elegant, refined, and almost cinematic. What we especially loved is how smoothly the evening transitions from a restaurant setting into a more vibrant bar and nightlife mood — very natural, very well done. The service was impeccable: attentive, polished, and genuinely warm. The wine list deserves special praise — extensive, well-curated, and clearly chosen with care. There is a strong sense of sophistication throughout the entire experience, almost with a subtle French flair. As for the food — almost everything was absolutely delicious. The meats, the steak, the salads, the sides — all beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Truly excellent cuisine overall. There was only one small disappointment: the Chilean Sea Bass. While visually appealing, it lacked the signature texture and flavor this fish is known for. When prepared correctly, Chilean Sea Bass should melt in your mouth — delicate, buttery, effortless. Unfortunately, in this case it tasted more like a regular white fish, served in a green sauce that didn’t elevate the dish. It wasn’t terrible, but it simply didn’t match the level of the rest of the menu. We were also a bit puzzled by the entertainment program. Short shows every 30 minutes, lasting about five minutes, felt somewhat disconnected. A brief appearance by a gymnast, while pleasant, didn’t feel particularly impactful or memorable. Perhaps a more cohesive or engaging entertainment concept would elevate the experience even further. That said, despite these minor notes, this is absolutely a five-star place. Everything here is clearly thought out down to the smallest details — from design to service to ambiance. The food is refined, the atmosphere is beautiful, and the overall experience feels luxurious and intentional. We would definitely recommend this restaurant with confidence and genuine enthusiasm. A beautiful, elegant place that leaves a lasting impression.
