About This Spot

Stepping into Kiki On The River instantly transports you to a vibrant Mediterranean escape framed by Miami’s shimmering waterfront. The energy here hums with a contagious joie de vivre — where upbeat music floats through the air and the river breeze carries a subtle salty freshness. It’s a lively scene, somewhere between a spirited celebration and a well-curated dining destination, where the pace invites you to relax into bright conversations and shared moments.

This is a place to gather with friends or meet new faces, where the rhythm of the evening pulses with laughter, clinking glasses, and spontaneous bursts of dancing under string lights. The space feels thoughtfully alive, buzzing without overwhelming — a fitting backdrop to the carefully crafted flavors that foreground the Mediterranean’s sun-soaked coastlines.

At the heart of the experience is a menu that feels like a journey: smoky grilled octopus, tender lamb chops glazed with honey truffle, and rich lobster pasta capturing the ocean’s generosity. Each bite offers familiar warmth with unexpected twists, like a Greek salad bursting with freshness or the playful tang of a Kiki Lime Pie Martini. These vibrant dishes are designed to be savored in good company, reflecting the hospitality and open-heartedness that define the evening.

The service at Kiki On The River moves with attentive grace — friendly faces who seem genuinely invested in your night unfolding well without ever feeling intrusive. From the ease of that first greeting to the final toast, the team works in sync to make sure the moments between dishes are as memorable as the ones on your plate.

Whether it’s a weekend brunch where the sun spills over every table, a lively dinner drenched in laughter and clinking champagne flutes, or a night that stretches effortlessly into celebration, Kiki On The River invites you not just to dine, but to experience an ever-changing mosaic of local energy, Mediterranean flavors, and human connection along Miami’s riverfront.

Assaf Liran 10 Jan 2026

Five stars for an unforgettable night at Kiki on the River. The service was genuinely warm and attentive from the moment of check-in to the final goodbye, the atmosphere was pure Miami magic with waterfront views and upbeat music, and the food delivered bright Mediterranean flavors that matched the setting perfectly. ServiceThe staff kept everything flowing smoothly even during a lively evening, checking in at the right moments without hovering and keeping the energy fun and celebratory throughout the night. Small touches stood out, from prompt drink refills to quick help with recommendations, which made the whole experience feel effortless and welcoming . AtmosphereThe riverside setting is stunning—watching yachts glide by while the DJ builds a Mykonos-style vibe makes dinner feel like an event, with festive music, napkin-waving, and a party feel that ramps up on weekends. Whether seated indoors among the chic decor or on the outdoor deck catching the breeze, the ambiance hits that sweet spot of stylish, energetic, and quintessentially Miami.

I finally carved out a night to visit Kiki on the River, and it absolutely delivered on the scene and the hype. Having secured a reservation (which is a must), the service was seamless from the moment we arrived. The staff were instantly attentive; our servers, like Natasha and Lazaro, worked in perfect sync to ensure a flawless and memorable night. The service was surprisingly low-pressure and genuinely five-star. The atmosphere is undeniably the main event. It’s an electric scene—less a quiet dinner and more an upscale party, complete with sparklers and a vibrant mix of Greek and house music. It truly feels like being instantly transported to a Mykonos beach club—it’s lively, elegant, and full of energy. This high-energy environment is gold, especially if you’re celebrating a birthday or special occasion. The food was outstanding and beautifully presented. We indulged in a variety of dishes, including the octopus, lamb chops, and rich pasta. While every dish was delicious, be prepared for significant sticker shock. This is a high-ticket experience, and you’re absolutely paying a premium for the unparalleled vibe and atmosphere over the cuisine itself. The quality of the drinks, the unforgettable scenery, and the exceptional service make the splurge worthwhile. I'm already looking forward to going back for the energy and the ultimate Miami scene.

Kiki on the River is definitely a scene,lively, beautiful, and full of energy. The atmosphere leans more toward a party than a dinner, with music, sparklers, and an overall festive crowd. It’s a great spot if you’re in the mood for a social, high-energy evening. That said, the service was mediocre and didn’t quite match the upscale vibe. The food was decent, but not particularly memorable. The oddest part of the night was being seated, as a party of two, at a large six-person table that directly faced the kitchen. It felt awkward and out of place given the rest of the ambiance. Overall, Kiki is worth a visit for the experience and atmosphere, but not necessarily for the food or service. It’s more of a “come for the vibe” destination than a true dining experience

Very dynamic environment with excellent food and services. Our service team (Jorge C, Muslim and Jose) are really good. The photographer also did great job by taking the great picture with beautiful frame. It was very memorable for our party. Everyone had fun and very memorable evening.

Brunches at Kiki Saturdays and Sundays are my favorites! Greek food is never disappointing. The staff is always friendly, professional and helptul. Daniel, Adonis, Javier, ... the list is long, and I know all of them are doing the best to serve us and I always admire their hard work. If you're a Hookah lover, here is the place to be! Vibes are fire, everyone dancing and throwing napkins just like in Mykonos. If you're planning a trip to Miami, Kiki has to be on your number 1 list. That you celebrate a birthday , bachelorette party or a girls night out, you will have the time of your life ! Habibi restaurant is also same owner, if you like Moroccan vibes, check it out too!

Kiki on the River is hands down one of the best spots in South Miami. The vibe is unmatched, lively, fun, and full of energy without feeling chaotic. Sitting right on the river, the views are beautiful, especially with the boats passing by, which really adds to the whole experience. The food is excellent, especially if you enjoy Mediterranean flavors. Everything we ordered was fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. The drinks were just as impressive strong, creative, and perfect for a day or night out. What really sets Kiki apart is the atmosphere. The music, the crowd, and the service all come together to create a true Miami experience. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want a great place to eat, drink, and enjoy the scene, Kiki on the River absolutely delivers. Highly recommend.

Kiki on the River is an absolute gem! The service was amazing from start to finish—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The food exceeded all expectations; everything from the appetizers to the main courses and drinks was phenomenal. The vibe of the restaurant is unmatched, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal by the water. The only minor downside is when yachts pull up and temporarily block the view of the water, but that’s such a small thing compared to the overall experience. I can’t wait to go back to Miami just to visit Kiki on the River again!
