About Ariete
White subway tile, open shelving, butcher-block tables and a long bar give the room a warm, lived-in feel, and a leafy patio sits off Main Highway under the trees. Chef Michael Beltran threads Miami's Cuban roots through New American cooking: reviewers mention a caviar pastelito, grilled oysters, well-balanced desserts and a mango-and-tamarind cocktail, and the burger has its own following, although one regular thinks the rest of the menu outshines it. Miami Spice brings a wave of first-timers each summer. Dinner starts at 5:30 PM nightly and runs to 10 PM, or 11 PM on Friday and Saturday. Service is described as polished and patient, with a captain greeting each table before handing it to a server who walks through the menu. Street parking in the Grove takes some patience. It holds a Michelin star and sits seventh on Time Out's September 2026 Miami ranking. Google rates it 4.4 from nearly 1,000 reviews.
