La romanita restaurant and lounge

Like oh my goodness! This place is amazing. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Delightful ambiance. I love good food, I cook too but I enjoyed every moment spent here. My kids had fun… I love the displayed Christmas tree and everything about this restaurant is unique. I will highly recommend this place anytime and it’s going to be my go to when I crave food outside. Two meal pictures missing, lol. I like the idea of paying with G-Pay. Excellent job guys 👏👏👏.

Hidden Gem! Can't wait to go back! I've passed this place so many after watching them open. Finally we decided to try them out and I must say I was pleasantly sirrosed! We had the grilled octopus, and I must say it was grilled to perfection and so tender! The bed of hummus it rested on made the dish a match made in heaven! We also had the fish croquettes, which was good, but the octopus stole the show! The lobster bisque came next and was so creamy with the perfect balance of flavors. My only complaint was that I wish it had more lobster chunks! The La Tuna China entree came out, and I was surprised and how moist the yellowfin tuna was and how crispy and flavourful the breading that coated it was... Now the shrimp stir fry rice, I must say, needs to be a side or a dish on its own. A Star on its own, I wish i could pair it with other items like the whole snapper which the waiter said we could not as that was the initial plan and how we ended with the Tuna that did not dissapoint! Service was not bad, but we had a young waiter that just needed to learn to pay attention to details like knowing when to clear the table of empty plates. My empty lobster bisque bowl stayed on the table until the check came. Also, I ordered a passion fruit margarita to was delicious and when I asked for another he brought a classic margarita and insisted it was another passion fruit until we explain to him the obvious fact that it wasn't even the same orange color as the last drink. However, these are minor complaints compared to the amazing food and relaxing environment of the restaurant. I MUST SAY THIS WILL BE MY NEW SPOT THE FREQUENT!

The place it’s very nice and the service it’s excellent but the food that we ordered was not so good. The churrasco I ordered medium well and it was Well done, the rice was a little over cooked, the Lobster Bisque was very salty, the Crema de Queso had to much flour and too much taste of Nuez Moscada, the Croquetas you really couldn’t tell witch one was ham or fish. The toast bread pieces they put for free were soggy but the taste was good. I order for one of the kids the chicken tenders but in reality were breaded very thin chicken breast little pieces and over fried. And for last the Natilla was not that bad but the caramel on top was not hard/crunchy. Everything looked very pretty but they need to work a little better on the quality of the food.

I take it this is also ran or owned by the same group/persons that run El Patio Live at Westland Mall and I could only tell because they have similar items on the menu and the decor gives away as well. Again, just like the other joint, the service is great but the food is too pricey for location and cuisine. These people are charging Brickell prices in Hialeah for food that's ok not great. At least my pop's lamb was good according to him and the torrejas dessert as well. My vaca frita pizza was mediocre and last time I checked vaca frita is supposed to be crispy not soggy like ropa vieja but ok. Spent $100 on a beer, one appetizer, two entrees and a dessert. I've spent half of that in a mom & pop or small joint in Calle Ocho. Anyways hope it works out for them but I'm not coming back to either one.
