My Husband and I just had dinner at Ola on Friday, July 18, 2008. I never write reviews but this was such a great place that I HIGHLY recommend it. Ask for Marcus to wait on you. He will give you the best service. We also ate at Nemo which was very good as well! more

Hands down, my favorite restaurant in Miami. The Executive Chef is Doug Rodriguez...his name might not be that familiar, but he brought about the whole "Floribbean" cuisine revolution, along with a couple of other greats (such as Chef Norman Van Aiken). The ceviche selection alone is worth the trip to OLA, you'll have to buy a few and share with... more

Went to a party here. And wow, the place is just adorable. Very modern and zen. However, the food was lacking and not as great as I thought it would be. I left super hungry. But the actual restaurant is very pretty and has a cool, relaxed atmosphere. Maybe a better place to go for a drink than a big... more

Even jaded ol' me can be shocked every now and then. I was not expecting anything from this place but everything I tasted was worthy of lively discussion. I'm not wild about ceviche but the various ones on offer at OLA are exciting and everything is fresh, fresh, fresh! Always the key to fish, of course, though 90% of the... more

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Ola during our trip to South Beach this month and wow, it was amazing. I can't recommend it enough- the atmosphere and the food were excellent. We started with the tuna tacos, rainbow ceviche and mystery meatballs. The tacos were fresh, flavorful and plentiful. The ceviche was the best we've... more

OLA at the Sanctuary is a lively and tasty restaurant serving "nuevo latino" fare. My wife and I dined on a Saturday night and the restaurant was quite packed. The atmosphere was beautiful, and our server Gregoire was very knowledgeable. The small dinner rolls here are amazing. The best bread we've ever tasted! The ceviche was excellent as well. My... more
