    They must be local if they think their fish taste good, so smoky I believe I have black lung disease after eating it. Shrimp dish served with rush, shrimp, scallop dish served with scallops that tasted like rubber. Absolutely absurd they have such a high rating this is Resturant to Skip!

    Beautiful Restaurant with excellent creative cuisine. I would have rated Pez Loco 5 stars if not for our server, although extremely nice & attentive, did not know the menu and could not explain the difference between the 3 salsas on the menu except for their color. A restaurant of this caliber who is working towards a Micheline Star has to have all their servers highly trained on the menu and how the chef prepares the items on the menu. This is a MUST !!! Our reservation was at 8:45PM on a Sat evening and the restaurant was 50% full which was surprising. I will be back, because the food was outstanding and I am hopeful that they will invest more time in training the servers to improve the customer experience.

    We went in on a Thursday night. It was very quiet in there but the atmosphere and service was wonderful. Wayne was our server and we tried a few different plates on the menu. The cocktails are creative and delicious. I recommend ordering a few plates to share amongst the table. It was a great experience and I would absolutely recommend Pez Loco if you are in the Miami area.

    The whole experience was horrible. Do not know hoe these places open in Miami. The service was very poor - they where nice but in regards to SERVICE they had no idea. The things we order where very “what ever”. The place is called PEZ and had only 5 items of seafood. The kitchen was backed up and the place was not even close to full. The things stated at the chefs review had nothing to do with my experience. Honestly very incongruent menu, flavors, and just not up to minimal standards.

    The food was tasty the service was poor! A person standing by the door/bar the entire time that look like the manager never even approach us to apologize for the waitresses dropping a bottle near us, glass was splattered everywhere, for the duplicates items on the bill and the insistency of the food service. Not happy with the service and not coming back!

    Good place for a last-minute reservation. But the service was really spotty. Very hard just to get a drink refill with dinner for example. Zero specials or any kind of experiential dining. Menu is limited.

    What a terrible experience. The restaurant was completely empty, which should have warned us away. The food was ridiculously overpriced for the quality and presentation, and the taste was subpar. I woefully regret having chosen Pez Loco to celebrate my daughter’s college graduation. Never again.

    Extremely slow service. It took 30 min just to get our drinks and another 35-40 min to get the food. There were only 4 tables. I cant understand how it took them so long to service. I counted 5 waiters/waitress and a lot of people in the kitchen.

    Venue: very nice ambiance, very well decorated - no much background noise - they did a good job! Menu: is divided in 3 sections: sea, hearth and meat. It suits all tastes and preferences (meat lovers as well as vegans). We were a group of 4 and everyone was satisfied with their choices. A few items were a bit spacier than expected (the ribs for instance) so make sure you ask first to make sure this is of your liking. Sprouts were delicious so highly recommended. Price: food price was very reasonable- drinks and cocktails tend to lean on the higher side ($18/cocktail feels a tad pricey) but all cocktails were good! Overall: great experience- would check it out!

    It was empty but it’s bc it’s an obscure area. The lighting and music was great for a romantic evening. The drinks were great. The baby back ribs were amazing along with the Brussels sprouts! Pricing was great as well. I’ll go back to try something else. The lamb was good but just lacked more salt.

    The staff is soo friendly. one of us felt cold so they increase the temperature for us to feel comfortable. they did a very very tasty mushroom soup which makes you feel at home. this is the best restaurant in Miami in terms of service and staff cooperation. They know how to work as a team probably they have an excellent team leader. Why I am saying that! As we have asked for an additional dish which was not on the menu, and they were very efficient in preparing and serving it for us.
