" Just visited Morla and it was fantastic! We ordered the tasting menu, which allowed us to sample a variety of dishes—all of which were beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor. The owner is a true artist in the kitchen. My favorites were the fish tacos and the branzino. Despite some earlier reviews about small portions, we found the sizes more than adequate for sharing. The ambiance was cozy, making it easy to forget we were in the midst of a bustling downtown. Will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about Morla. While the food was undeniably good, I felt the portions were on the smaller side, especially for the price. We enjoyed a few dishes, but I kept expecting a little more for what we paid. The service was attentive, and our waiter gave great suggestions, but the atmosphere felt a bit loud for a nice evening out. I liked the tapas concept for sharing, but I might try another restaurant next time to better suit my taste. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried numerous Peruvian restaurants, I can say Morla stands out! The food bursts with authentic flavors, and the presentation is beautiful. I tried the tasting menu and I was impressed—definitely a great way to sample many of their offerings! The ambience will make you feel special, perfect for celebrations, but be mindful that prices reflect the quality. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates fine dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a fan of Morla since they opened up in downtown Miami. The owners obviously pour their heart and soul into every detail of this restaurant, from the decor to the dishes. The unique combination of flavors in their menu offers something you've never tried before. The ceviche was delicate yet packed with flavor. While I appreciate the idea of small plates for sharing, I wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price—had to order extra just to feel satisfied. I still highly recommend trying it at least once! " (*Curated Review*)

" Morla truly delivers an extraordinary dining experience! The moment you enter, the beautiful decor and inviting ambiance sets the mood. Our waiter was very informed about the menu and helped us navigate the choices effectively. We chose their signature ceviche and antipasto, among others. I can't stress enough how divine the flavors are—they kept dancing around in my mouth! While the tapas style may not fill all, I'd say it’s about savoring rather than stuffing. Will recommend and will come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, I did not enjoy my experience at Morla as much as I had hoped. While the food was good, it did not live up to my expectations. I found the dishes to be overly sweet compared to traditional flavors, which detracted from the authenticity I was hoping for. On the plus side, the service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was lovely. If you're not overly picky and prefer a modern twist on traditional dishes, you might enjoy it more than I did. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I decided to celebrate our anniversary at Morla based on the glowing reviews. The atmosphere was intimate—ideal for lovers! We were particularly impressed with the ceviche that just melted in the mouth! The overall experience was nice; however, the portions were indeed small. For us, sharing was the way to go, making it a fun evening overall. Nonetheless, looking forward to visiting again and recommending it further! " (*Curated Review*)
