QP Tapas

This is a PopUp restaurant so they share the dining room with a sushi restaurant.
We really wanted to love this place….
But unfortunately they fell short of our expectations.
The matrimonio appetizer was ok, they serve it on pan con tomate.
Tasted good nothing bad to say about this dish. The paella (69$) was actually burnt.
Black at the bottom, I know it’s supposed to be crunchy but not burnt.
The seafood was all previously frozen, nothing tasted fresh.
We figured if we ordered dessert it would make up for the paella… we were wrong.
The whole top of the Basque cheesecake was burnt.
My husband and I looked at each other and said… “maybe it’s supposed to look like this”… till we googled it.
We pealed this part off with my fork but couldn’t get that taste off.
The waitress (who we later found out is one of the owners) never asked if there was a problem with it even after the whole top was pealed off and more than half of it remained on the plate. There is potential here but paying these prices requires a lot more quality and attention in my opinion.

AMAZING!!! Please Please Please try this place!!!!! Love Love loooooooooove this place and EVERYONE here ♡ Found this cutest restaurant on Instagram. I'm Japanese, living in Miami for 12 years.
This place is perfect for me because all my favorite are in this restaurant which is Japanese soul food Izakaya vibe with tropical ♡♡♡So much love was floating out from their instagram post.
Couldn't wait to visit this cutest place. Welcomed by warming greeting.
My husband has issue with back, recovering from twice surgeries so usually it is very difficult for him to sit and eat.
But this place and everyone here made a magic.
Everyone has biggest heart, chef Josh himself came to table to explain the menu, owner Ellie and staff Alex took cares of us like we are their family.
Michael gave us awesome energy, made us feel like everything gonna be alright.
And, food was EXTRAORDINARY!! Oh my God, I lived in London, and France, visited someplace in the world but I've never felt this feeling that every single bites brought us to another dimension like we feel they do really care with love for every single ingredient, and takes awesome care about them. My husband has been eating in bed for few years because of back issue but first time after long years, we sat together and ate precious food together, and smile each other without seeing his pain and suffer on his face. We can't thanks enough.
Thank you so sooooooo much for the very magical night.
Can't wait to come see you and experience those magical food at new place ☆ Love you all.

The food and energy here is amazing and this is my new favorite gem in Miami.
I had just gotten back from Spain and was missing the daily tapas I’d have - QP did not disappoint. There were some classic dishes and some with a twist.
For example, the uni risotto - something so special and I would love to come back for.
The yucas bravas was also amazing, though I’d recommended to Chef Josh that there should also be an option to add a fried egg on top :) Everything we ordered was truly wonderful so I don’t think you can go wrong with anything.
I’m excited to see the ever evolving menu and perhaps an expansion of the drink menu to include some vermouths in the future. For those coming from the Northeast, the Chef was also the mind behind Toro in Boston.
A fun fact! Though, I’ve got to say, Miami is lucky because I like QP more <3
