This place is fantastic. My boyfriend and I have been here a few times and every drink we've tried has been amazing. The presentation is great and the drinks are worth the price. My personal favorite is the martini colada. Shout out to Billy!

LOVED this place. The drinks and waitstaff/bartenders were so kind and knowledgeable of the menu. They really took the time to walk you through each drink you had a question about. Will 100% be back the next time we are in Miami.

So pleasantly surprised! The service was great. Our bartender made the most delicious drinks and was kind of enough to answer all of our drink questions. I will definitely be coming back here. Amazing experience! Tried the sesame crusted tuna and the churrasco bowl. Flavors were delicious and the coconut rice was out of this world. Do your shelf a favor and come visit Kaona if you haven’t yet.

Kaona Room is a fantastic place to unwind and disconnect from the world outside its doors. Drinks are spot on to say the list, and Billy the host/server is absolutely fantastic with a warm charisma that matches his aloha shirt to perfection. My only recommendation would be to have them announce the kind of music they’ll have live on social media for example. Last time I went, they had a jazz trio. They were killer, but not the particular vibe I was looking for. Thus, I ended up staying just for a round of drinks. If they post before hand, people will go w/ more intention and likely stay longer. Just food for thought!

Incredible vibe at this tiki room that's actually a speakeasy of Esotico in Miami. It was well worth the 4hr drive to experience it. Drinks were amazing, food is really good as well. We had the dumpling platter, Teriyaki Salmon, and Churassco steak bowl, all of which were great. For the true tiki fans, please take the time to walk around the place and take in the Tiki art, woodwork, and artifacts. Also, feel free to enjoy some live jazz towards the end of the night. I was going to post some pics and videos, but don't want to spoil it. Go there and experience it!!

From the moment we stepped through the door, we were transported to another world. The Kaona Room was a magical experience, from the attention to detail in the decor to the exceptional cocktails. The interior decorations are jaw dropping, including but not limited to the stellar wall paper and the hand carved tables. And did I mention the way that they serve drinks? Hands down, the absolute coolest means of doling out tantalizing elixirs! The drinks themselves were phenomenal (and this is coming from an individual who has visited a number of tiki bars). The coconut martini was godly! And the absolute best part? The father-son duo owners, who showed us hospitality like no other. We will be back in a heartbeat!

Not really a speakeasy. There was a band and was really loud so ended up leaving since we couldn’t even talk. Drinks were fun but not a ton of options and pricey.

Minimum food selection and the few they have are not the food you would regularly eat after leaving the theater or any event hungry. The few selections they have are extremely overpriced. Ambiance and decoration are nice, and servers are friendly.

The service is amazing. The drinks are outstanding! Every drink we tried was delicious and well put together. My favorite was the martini colada. I’m still daydreaming about that drink. My friends ordered food and said they enjoyed their dishes. They had some dumplings, takoyaki and the churrasco tataki. Will definitely be back!

Awesome place for drinks with friends (or a date to impress) drinks are amazing. live music (good musicians). I would say the main events are the drinks, many to choose from and they are all good. We tried 5 different cocktails and all were great. This is NOT a paid review. The Hawaii ambiance is the best one in Miami. We had a great evening… “if you can’t get to Paradise, they’ll bring it to you” in their hidden tiki bar. Service is excellent… great experience for sure
