This place is consistently great. There is a lot of attention to detail, from the time your server greets you and takes your order to the timing of the bread to the dipping steak sauces brought to the table. Even if the servers are running around, you are never rushed nor is your request ignored. Steaks are always perfectly cooked and the price point is very good. The desserts are perfectly proportioned and they never skimp out on the dulce de leche filling in the panqueques ( rolled crepes which are the absolute best option). The outdoor seating it’s quite nice and you don’t feel like you’re sitting right next to a major road. The inside is nice but similar to all Miami - Fort Lauderdale restaurants, the AC is a little bit too high even in January, so bring a light sweater. The cocktails are interesting; good combination of flavors, but i’d appreciate a little bit more of a heavy pour. Overall this place is not to be missed. Although they own several, this Sunny Isles location will impress you!

I would have given more 5 stars in various categories (ambiance, for one) except it was so loud. We were there on a Friday night. There was a big college football game on TV, which was a fun atmosphere. They also had music bingo, which we enjoyed. The server was friendly, as was the hostess, even the managers checked on us during our meal. Unfortunately, we were seated right under a speaker and it was so loud in there. I really liked my Harvest salad with salmon (5 stars), but two members of my family each ordered the Batch Attack Burger, and neither liked it. One ordered it without onions but it had onions anyway. Both disliked the onions, even though one of them would usually have eaten the onions. I ate their truffle fries which were very good ( they didn't like them).

Sports Bar

Downtown Miami

About the restaurant

Ever since the Magic City saw the Orange Bowl crumble in 2008, Miami sports fans were left with a void that most thought would never be filled – Until now. Enter Black Market, a Miami sports bar that calls upon the nostalgia of eighties Miami, a time where the Hurricanes reigned supreme in the college football landscape, when Dan Marino would become the face of Miami sports, and the rest of the country looked at our oasis as a ‘Paradise Lost.’ Cash was king in a lawless city during a time where OUR Miami began to take shape. Black Market Miami is a place that invites you to take pride in our city’s past, both the good and the bad, because it is this rich history that made us who we are today.

There’s a popular saying in Peru, “Entre Pisco Y Nazca.” It translates to having fun in a social environment encompassing exceptional cocktails. We couldn’t think of a better way to describe our Gastrobar.

The vision behind our newest ceviche gastrobar is one of a lively place serving bold-flavored dishes, unique cocktails and a vast selection of national and international beers. Inspired by top restaurants in Peru and designed by Celano Design Studio, Pisco y Nazca’s atmosphere is casual, trendy and fun with a touch of subtle sophistication.
