    The setting in the Versace mansion is perfect. The fountain, pool, tile work, statues and tapestries are the perfect setting for traditional Italian dining. The ocean air breeze flowing over the open southern wall by the pool perfectly complements the vibe in this ristorante with an authentic trattoria feel. Somehow, I wasn’t even annoyed by the constant picture taking of influencers and other diners as the setting is more like - how could you not? The medium rare lamb chops and truffle gnocchi were perfect. The desserts are a demonstration of the talent of both the chef and the servers. Try the tiramisu to see what I mean.

    What a fun place! Definitely not the same as The Chia location but really fun. Great music and the food was not bad, a little overpriced but I think you’re paying for the whole experience. Definitely going back!

    An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Setai Japon, Miami My recent visit to Setai Japon in Miami was nothing short of extraordinary. The restaurant offers a perfect blend of elegance, flavor, and impeccable service that left a lasting impression. The food was simply outstanding. Each dish, from the freshest sashimi to the exquisitely crafted sushi rolls, showcased an incredible attention to detail and a mastery of Japanese cuisine. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was as beautiful as the taste was delicious. Even the cooked dishes were flawlessly executed, highlighting the high quality of the ingredients and the skill of the chefs. What truly set this experience apart was the level of service. Our waiter was exceptional—attentive, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable. They provided thoughtful recommendations, ensured our glasses were always full, and created a warm, welcoming atmosphere without ever being overbearing. The ambiance of Setai Japon adds to the experience, with its sophisticated design and tranquil vibe, making it the perfect spot for a memorable evening. If you’re looking for a place that offers phenomenal food and first-class service in a luxurious setting, Setai Japon is an absolute must-visit. It’s an experience I won’t soon forget, and I can’t wait to return.
