sugarcane raw bar grill

if you've ever been to barcelona this place will bring you rightbackto those nights of great food and drinks, relaxing ambiance yet fun atmosphere, and tapas style dishes to share.  their strawberry balsamic cocktail is one of the best drinks i've ever had; the taste was toooo on point- you could taste all of the flavors without the over powering flavor of the alcohol, yet when you stood up you knew there was plenty of alcohol in the drink.  we shared a variety of plates and you can't go wrong with the bacon-wrapped dates (i don't even like dates but i loved these) and the brussel sprouts!  all of the fish in our sushi was very tasty and fresh! can't wait to bebackin miami just so i can go here!

go with a group (or at least 4ppl) so you can have a bite or two of many dishes. we started with the bacon wrapped figs which were amazing! then bone marrow, foie gras, kale salad, octopus, french toast desert, cheese croquettes, and duck n waffles . if i had to pick a favorite the duck and waffles was pretty amazing but i have no complaints on any dish. neat atmosphere and looking forward to goingbackand trying more

just ok. food was ok, service is good but food is so expansive one pice of grill octopus
$ 12.00 really???? goingback????? well maybe one a month , bettergoing to machiya just around the corner food ,service and décor way better

quality food, nice atmosphere, honest server. came here with a party of 6 co-workers on a thursday night. had excellent service, although he was trying to up-sell a little too much. ordered several tapas and a few people got oysters. general feeling at the table was that all the food was good, some better than others. everything seemed pretty fresh. atmosphere inside and out is really lush and relaxing.

as we were a party of 6, gratuity had been added to the bill. the person paying hadn't noticed at first and tipped extra. the server brought the checkbackto be sure we had seen the gratuity. because of this honesty, and because it was on the company card, we left the double tip as it was.

i would definitely comebackto continue working my way through the tapas and try the sushi.

good food, cute waiters!. i went for the first time with my mother early on a saturday night (7.30ish) w/o reservations and we got seated right away. we started off with delicious refreshing cocktails; the service was relatively fast and i really liked how they serve the tapas 2-3 at the time so your table isn't too crowded with food. definitely to try the bacon wrapped dates and the goat cheese croquettes!! the sashimi was also extremely fresh and tasty. a bit of a disappointment in the short ribs that weren't as tender as we had hoped. the atmosphere is young and lively, with a modern vibe. overall, a great place i'd definitely gobackto! but if you sit outside in the summer bring tons of off!

pop. last night i had dinner , at sugarcane , we wait more than 1hour and 20 min for a table , then service , very slow , noise , and the food very disapoited, i had second plate the ribs and returned because it was terrible , greease , and overcook , service slow , and expensive never goback....

bad experience. a large group of friends went there after work for a friends happy hour and we could barely get the bartenders attention. we walked around the bar until a waiter helped us out. the bartender that finally took out order gave us attitude; as if we were disturbing him for doing his job. food is good but potions are small and overpriced. i would not gobackthere.

sat at the bar.... the bar service was good though food service was a little slow. the bartender was thoughtful as we talked about cocktails on the list. i had a criticism of one of the signatures i tried. the bartender agreed, and made one of his own off the cuff. lots of depth and flavor. i like that sort of ability in my bartender.

the sweetbreads were quite tasty too.

this was my second timebackto sugarcane, and i will go back.

three of us went there for dinner @6:30 prior to catching a flight out. promptly seated, quickly greeted by a friendly waiter who gave us a good overview of food and drink for our first time there. we ordered a couple beers, about 10 plates including the poki tuna(sp?). quick delivery of the drinks was immediately followed by the rapid succession of dishes. each selection was very good and uniquely presented. haven't had brussels sprouts in years, but ate more than my share since they were so good. overall experience was great. only two drawbacks; the dishes came out so quickly that we felt like they were stacking up on us. could be that they were sensitive to our need to eat and run for our flight; we'll comebackto try a more leisurely sitting. other thing is the inside/outside bar looks cool, but with open doors we found that we were sharing our meal with pesky flies. either need to keep doors closed or stronger air curtain. it was good; we certainly look forward to goinbackagain.

...

i was there yesterday afternoon - saturday around 4pm. i love the location and the ambiance is great. the drinks were good but the food was nothing to write home about; for the price, i'd say the food was below average.

what can i say about the service? well, mommy always told me, "if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all." when did i ever listen to mommy? i just don't like waiting 20 minutes for drinks and asking about a dish, choosing another and getting both - then billed for both. do i really have to beg for the bill? seriously, you can keep it!! $130 for 2 people, 6 drinks, 3 tapas. not too bad... but for lunch?

i'd gobackfor the drinks and try sitting at the bar, but i'm not sure i'd go there for dinner.

sugarcane raw bar grill. great new spot from owners of sushisamba.

the place is beautiful, airy, big fans, very tropical. decor is lovely, random chairs, tile, wood floors, very rustic and homey.

sugarcane has 3 separate kitchens scattered through out:
* a raw bar
* japanese grill
* hot kitchen

think tapas with an exotic/asian flare - not your typical spanish tapas. if you've been to señora martinez, you know what to expect except this was way more affordable and better tasting in every way. we tried 10 dishes and they came fast and prompt. favorites were:
* florida tomatoes w/ burrata cheese, strawberries and balsamic
* golden beets salad
* goat cheese croquettes w/ marmalade
* the sugarcane lobster roll w/ peanut soy
* madagascar shrimp w/ sweet chili
* yellowtail crudos w/ grapefruit and avocado

last but not least, the torrejas dessert which was soaked in custard for 24 hours and baked w/ fiji apples and served w/ vanilla bean ice cream.

staff was wonderfully flashing smiles left and right. our waiter came thru with every suggestion. can't wait to comebackfor happy hour and get a pitcher of the red sangria.

ps i added some pics so make sure to scope them out.
