    Food: I ordered the croquettes and the zucchini flower stuffed with shrimp. OMG, those dishes were absolutely delicious! For dessert, I had the cheesecake, and wow, it was incredibly good! I also ordered a *tinto de verano*, which was perfectly made and very tasty. Service: While walking with my husband, the owner approached us and gave us a great introduction to the place. His recommendations, positive energy, and attention made us feel welcome. The service was amazing, and the waiter was very friendly, always attentive to our needs. PAmbiance: The restaurant is beautiful, with a Spanish-style vibe, complete with music from Spain.

    Wow! Ok, disclaimer, if you're not familiar with basque cooking or interested in going out of your comfort zone, you might not appreciate this place as much as we did. My father in law grew up in Donostia and we had to give this place a try when we saw it. The wines are reasonably priced and they even serve txakoli which is a favorite from the region (order a bottle if you're here). We got the corvina (fish) and the chuletón (steak) with a green salad, fries, and piquillo peppers on the side for a group of 4, it was plenty. This cut of steak is usually a little chewier/fatty and cooked rare - beware if you're expecting a run of the mill sirloin. It is so tasty though if you know what you're in for. The fish was simple and great. The basque like simple ingredients, allowing oil, garlic, and salt to bring out the flavors of the food naturally. The peppers, wow! Please get these! Such a tasty side. The green salad was refreshing too. The cheesecake left something to be desired but we are big fans of the Leku version, which is much creamier/undercooked on the inside. Fun fact, my father in law doesn't even know where this comes from as he never remembers it from his days in Spain. All together a fabulous meal and great service. We will be back!

    I wanted to try Casa Xabi since it's recent opening. But truly, I expected a little more. It was a bit of a disappointment, at least for us. We ordered the octopus appetizer, and it came, I would say, undercooked. (They call it al dente), which may be okay for pasta, but a little tough for octopus. Main dishes were arroz de bogavante and the Corvina. The corvina needed more seasoning... had no flavor. Arroz de bogavante, I think, had like caramelized onions that overwhelmed the delicate flavor of the bogavante. For dessert, we had the cheesecake, and it was delicious... light and airy. It's probably the best thing we had here. The service I have to say was excellent. Very attentive and efficient. I will try coming here again for a second chance.

    Casa Xabi was nowhere in my plans before I stopped by. That evening I was actually headed to a different restaurant and i stopped along the way, while waiting to meet up a friend. I loved the menu options/aesthetics so much, that I cancelled my reservation and dined here instead. There are no regrets with this choice. The server gave us a complete run down of the menu and background information on Basque cuisine. Given that I'm Spanish, it really intrigued me. We started with the jamón ibérico de bellota....p h e n o m i n a l. For our Main course, we had the snapper and lamb shank. Everything was on a point. We could have easily Had a second appetizer, so I highly recommend getting two and then a main course. Service was great. I'd come back for a date or even a nice family dinner.

    Horrible tortilla that doesn't taste the genuine Spanish tortilla.   I believe they put cheese on it.

    Food may be American-basque style but not certainly Spanish. Not bad but not good. The tortilla is far to be close to a typical Spanish tortilla. 3 starts because of the environment which is beautiful. Over priced too.

    Qué buen restaurante Vasco en Miami! Realmente me senti en una terrazita en España. Pedimos todo para compartir, todo salio super rapido y estaba delicioso. Mis favoritos fueron las croqueatas, el pulpo y el arroz ibérico. Lo que si no recomiendo es el postre de membrillo, parece mas un appetizer que un poste

    Disappointing. The restaurant is located in Coconut Grove, with tables at the sidewalk and an air-conditioned dining room with a view of the kitchen. We ordered a txacolí, a fresh young Basque wine that was appropriately priced and at the right temperature. We also had "matrimonio": three pieces of toasted bread with grated fresh tomato, an anchovy filet in oil, and anchovy filet in vinegar. It was quite delicious. We ordered a tortilla, wich was minuscule, around 3/4" high and maybe 3" across. The tortilla was somehow prepared in a pan that did not have enough olive oil, and tasted faintly of burnt egg as a result. Simple dishes require very precise execution, which Casa Xabi is unfortunately lacking. The same problem could be seen in the French fries, which were very soggy, and the salad, this time too acidic. The cheesecake, however, was perhaps the big disappointment. Instead of the the soft and creamy center Basque cheesecakes are known for, this one was tough and overcooked. The fruit compote and fresh strawberries were not able to help it. To top it all of, services was unattentive and just not nice, in spite of the chef walking around the dining room. In summary, excellent wines and interesting menu, but execution is lacking for prices at the higher end.

    Cerveza and Txakoli wine

    Casa Xabi has only been open for about two months; today I tried it for the Miami Spice lunch with my good friend. We ordered the hot dog, croquetas, arroz Ibérico, snapper and apple dessert. I accompanied my meal with a refreshing txakoli wine, perfect pairing with my fish and refreshing. The portions for the Miami Spice lunch were very generous and the food is authentic Basque. I definitely want to return and try more items on the menu. Chef Xabi came over and spoke to us about his concepts for the menu and passion for food. The service was great and the atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. Loved this place!

    Basque Cheesecake

    Casa Xabi is the perfect dinner spot! Amazing service and vibes. Delicious food from appetizers, to main course, to desserts. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back.

    Txakoli and cheesecake! Both amazing!

    My mom grew up in Spain, and even though we've lived in Miami for 25 years now she still loves to go out to Spanish restaurants. I googled some near us and Casa Xabi came up. We decided to go. My mom is very picky and she loved everything. From the ambiance, the music, the food, it was like going back to Spain for a moment. The waitress Liz was also very accommodating and even made a terrific wine choice for my mother. Will definitely come back!

    The arroz iberico is delicious! And the croquetas are a must. Our server was so sweet and attentive. Definitely not your regular Spanish cuisine-- has more of an upscale twist to all the dishes but very good food!! Great ambiance and location.

We also celebrated my niece's graduation on karaoke night, and it was another incredible evening filled with friends, family, laughter, and great memories. Seeing an employee post something so negative about an event that so many of us genuinely enjoy is disappointing. From the outside looking in, it seems like there's been a big shift in whoever is running these events. I recently attended both karaoke night and ladies' night, and the atmosphere was completely different from what many of us have come to love. FYI, karaoke night *brings people together*. I can't think of a single time we've gone and not had a great night. That's why this post doesn't reflect what 9 Feet Under has always represented to so many of us. If you work there and karaoke night is that terrible *for you*, maybe it's worth asking yourself why that is. Or perhaps this isn't the right environment for you. But please don't portray an event that has created so many positive memories for so many people as something negative, because that's simply not the experience the rest of us have had. Now you've lost customers!!
