    Hole in the wall tucked in the corner of plaza. You'll really have to look for it but it's super cute. It does get packed inside but there are tables outside to wait and you can have drinks brought to you. The door attendant was really nice and the staff were very organized. I had the pleasure of trying an espresso martini and the martini glass is super cute & tiny plus the drink itself was actually really delicious. Did not have the pleasure of going inside as we were done with our drinks by the time our name was called. Next time!

    I was so ready for a great bar! A local, nice bar to go to and chat ; Mae's was "supposed" to be that spot! It's tucked back in all the little shops in the Main Highway Plaza with Chugs. I walked in and it was everything I wanted it to be! Small, intimate, low lighting, bar stools, fastidious bartender who heard you and honored exactly what you said! A few intimate booths that were already full; my girlfriend was sitting at the bar holding me a seat. She could tell by my smiling my face I loved it from the minute I walked in. Didn't say I was welcomed when I walked in the door! The bartender looked up and said (with volume and gusto) "Welcome to Mae's!" Now, I Am grinning! I told the bartender I wanted a Hendrick's martini, straight up, very, very, very cold; no vermouth, olives and a lime! When I tell you it was cold, it was my 3 very colds! Perfect! Now I am very, very happy! Mae's lived up to its word: it's all about the Art of the Classic Cocktail! There is no food at Mae's but they have a great arrangement with Chugs! We checked in with the bartender and he suggested we order the OG burger. Chug's offers a limited Menu at Mae's; I'm sure there might not have been 10 Items on their list. You order, you get a text, you go next door To the window and pick up your "snack." Know that you are not going to have a giant burger with the works; our OG had a patty, shredded lettuce, pickles with their sauce on a great bun $9.95; and we ordered fries which we shared. Honestly, it was damn good! The downside: I will probably not Darken Mae's door anytime soon on a Friday night. The Music was so damn loud we could not hold a conversation! A lady on the other side of the bar was covering her ears! They got up and left! Her seatmate (husband/date) saw me holding my ears, came over and said this is a great bar, try coming on a weeknight, it's much calmer. Well, I may try it again, definitely on a week night! Mae's definitely has that "old school" charm but definitely not my taste in music! I wanted a little jazz, softer sounds where we could Actually hold a conversation over fabulous Cocktails. This was not the night. We left after one drink; with a 20% tip on 2 drinks, my bill was a tad over $34; which I claim reasonable. I will let you know when I go back!

    I love this new little spot in the heart of the grove. It's very lowkey, you wouldn't even know it was there unless you explored the area more. We dropped in for a cocktail to celebrate a friend's birthday. The service was great! We got lucky and were able to go in right away. The cocktails are only $16 each, which isn't terrible compared to a lot of other places. I ordered an espresso martini and it was pretty good. The foam was nice and I loved that the glass was chilled. My friends enjoyed their cocktails as well. This is a nice spot to start off the night and have a drink or two before continuing the party. I love the vibes, they are very upscale but chill.

    Made plans to meet up with a friend in the grove and we hit up this spot first. Great start to the night and definitely a vibe! My friend pulled up first as she lives closer to the grove, and was at the door for not even 5 minutes and 2 people walked out and she bagged a table. Clutch. The table was very lush, where we sat could have easily fit 3 girls on the booth and two guys in the chairs. Nice lit up library situation behind us to contrast the dim lit vibe, which I think is a must for this kind of place. Grown folks know. This is a great place to do Happy Hour or start a night of bar hopping in the area. The cocktails were very well crafted and they're all the same price, which I like because it makes it easy for people to just go for what they're in the mood for based on flavor profile. I started with the Tropical Dundee which came frosty af (glass and drink) and absolutely added to the cocktail. My friend started with their Penicillin and was also great, got myself one after and my friend followed up with a Hidalgo. Several other great sounding cocktails which we'll have to go back and try. Both of the team members working were very friendly and overall it felt lively but not LOUD, which I think is key for this kind of place, particularly because of the size. They do a good job with crowd control here by keeping walk space clear and only allowing enough people for what can be seated and maybe 6 people in the standing area, who are up to get a table/spot at the bar next. Would definitely say this is for the 30+ crowd, in my opinion. They don't have a kitchen but Chuggie's is next door and you can place the order from inside Mae's, grab it, and come back. Smart. I think they could have benefited from at least one more person so that there'd be two people behind the bar making drinks while one runs them out to tables and checks on the standing room folks. I liked it and will definitely be back. Ignore the jits who wrote a bad review because they couldn't get in. Shouldn't knock the place until you've made it in ;) If you're local definitely stop by, I'm sure it will become a favorite soon.

    Came here on a Wednesday, so it wasn't packed but still had a decent crowd. Great cozy speakeasy vibe, just what we expected. The drinks were very good and the bartender was up for making whatever we wanted. That area doesn't have many of these bar options so think it's a great addition and a new fave for us if in the area and without the kids.

    The famed Buenos Aires steakhouse with a location in Coconut Grove did not disappoint…read more I finally had an opportunity to check out La Cabrera after a cigar at nearby Coco Cigars. I took advantage of their 4 course $60 dinner special (not listed on their website but offered every day, including weekends) and went with the Caesar Salad, 14 oz skirt steak, fries and flan. Each dish was very good, the steak was cooked a perfect medium rare, the fries were crispy and good, and the flan was probably the best I've ever had. I enjoyed a very good glass of Malbec reserve with my meal. La Cabrera also offers a $39 lunch special. Ambiance was charming and the service was also very good. Far superior choice, food wise, to Chop.

A restaurant that still comes to mind months later is usually doing something right, and this visit confirmed what we loved about our first experience. We made reservations without any issues a couple of days before. The restaurant was clean, bright, and had not filled up yet with the busy Sunday family crowd. Upon being seated, we were provided with the regular menu and the Miami Spice Lunch menu. The Miami Spice Lunch, which has now become a daily Executive Lunch special, is a standout value. The portion sizes and the quality of the Argentinian steaks speak for themselves. As a group, here's what we ordered: Starters - Ham and Cheese Empanadas - Morcilla - Grilled Provolone Each starter delivered exactly what you'd expect from an Argentinian steakhouse. The empanadas were warm and flaky, the morcilla was rich and well seasoned, and the grilled provolone came out bubbling and perfect for sharing amongst our table with the restaurant's complementary bread basket. Entrée: - New York Strip Steak, 12 oz This was the only cut of steak we ordered. It was cooked to each of our desired temperatures and seasoned simply, letting the quality of the beef speak for itself. It is clear why La Cabrera has a reputation as one of Latin America's best restaurants. Sauces on the side, which included a BBQ sauce, and a chimichurri, were left for our choosing and were used for the side dishes more than anything. Sides: - French Fries - Jasmine Rice Both sides complemented the steak well. The fries were crispy and large in size. My father-in-law, a cuban man who's very serious about his rice dishes, thought the jasmine rice was very good. Dessert: - Dulce de Leche Ice Cream with Cone - Dulce de Leche Pancakes The ice cream was smooth and rich, while the pancakes were finished with a sugary powder coating that was impossible to resist. This lunch reinforced why La Cabrera continues to be stand out in a crowded field of steakhouses. Between the consistency, generous portions, and the value of their daily menu specials, it's an easy recommendation whether you're bringing family, hosting someone from out of town, or simply looking for a great lunch in Coconut Grove.

Koko is among the natural tree canopy of Coconut Grove, the 6,000 sq ft indoor & outdoor restaurant & bar transported us to Mexico with its sophisticated and artistic design, cacti garden, and outdoor bar & terrace. The 170 seat restaurant & bar conveys a fun, lively & warm setting to enjoy our Mexican meal. The open view kitchen allowed us to watch the handcrafted tortilla baking & wall showcasing over 400 mezcales & tequilas. We sat outdoors in the magnificent cacti garden. We started with frozen margaritas, they were smoky, icy cold & refreshing. We opted to share a skirt steak taco platter, passing up the insects on the menu. The tacos came out in minutes before our margaritas. The skirt steak was lean, juicy, and so tender we could cut it with a fork. Our meal was absolutely excellent. An 18% service charge was added to our bill. Service was quick and on point.

    I've been going to Koko since it opened, and until now I've always had great experiences…read more Unfortunately, my recent visit during the Mexico World Cup match was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. Before going, we called the restaurant to ask if they would be showing the World Cup games, and we were told they would be showing all of them. Based on that, we expected a good viewing experience. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. There aren't enough TVs, many of the views are obstructed, and we actually had to move to the bar just to see part of the game. Even then, the music was so loud that we couldn't hear the match at all. When we asked the manager about it, he told us that ownership's instructions were to play music instead of the game's audio. That was especially surprising considering this is a Mexican-owned restaurant and the match was a Mexico World Cup game. The biggest disappointment, however, was the service. To be fair, the restaurant was only about half full, so this wasn't a situation where the staff was overwhelmed by a packed house or unusually heavy demand. I was there with two female friends. I ordered a martini while my friends simply asked for water. The bartender reacted as if asking for water was somehow an inconvenience. We weren't even served chips and salsa until we repeatedly waved down members of the staff and specifically requested them. The bartenders consistently ignored us. My friends waited nearly 20 minutes before anyone came back so they could order their martinis. We later ordered guacamole and the Leña skirt steak. The guacamole arrived promptly, but the steak never did. When we asked another bartender to check on it, he looked in the system and told us there was no food order entered at all. This was unbelievable because the original bartender had described the dish, asked how we wanted the steak cooked, and appeared to take the order. He simply never entered it. When we complained to the manager about the missing food, he told us the kitchen was already closed but that he would "make an exception" and have the steak prepared for us. That response really upset me because this wasn't us asking for special treatment--it was the restaurant trying to correct its own mistake. I told him to simply cancel the order. He then said not to worry because he wouldn't charge us for it, as if not charging for a meal would somehow make up for the experience we had just endured. I declined the offer, but he responded by saying he would bring it anyway and that if we didn't want it, we could just leave it there. To me, that response was even more dismissive and completely missed the point. Throughout the evening, the bartenders were inattentive, dismissive, and consistently rude. Their attitude completely overshadowed what had always been one of my favorite restaurants in Coconut Grove. By halftime, we had simply had enough. Instead of continuing what should have been a fun night, we decided to leave the restaurant and go home, where we watched the rest of the Mexico match in the comfort of my home. Sadly, that turned out to be the best part of the night. I'm writing this review because I know Koko is capable of much better. My previous visits have always been enjoyable, which made this experience even more disappointing. However, if you're planning to watch a World Cup match there, I would strongly recommend choosing another venue. While they may tell you they'll be showing the game, the viewing experience is poor, the game audio is replaced with loud music, and based on our visit, the service was, without question, the worst I've experienced there since the restaurant opened. I sincerely hope management takes this feedback seriously because Koko has always been one of my favorite restaurants, and I'd like to be able to recommend it again. Unfortunately, after this experience, I simply can't.

Seemed like a great deal and the photos looked good so we decided to try it. We arrived at around 8:30 and this restaurant was relatively full. We had a seat at the bar where our small dog was also welcome, and each started with a cocktail, then ordered the parrilla special to share. Everything was very good and we managed to somehow finish it all aside from 1 piece of steak, so not bad. We were offered a digestif of limoncello or dulce de leche. We chose the limoncello and it was the perfect end to our meal. It should be noted that, on the night we came they had a different wine (a pinot noir from Spain) rather than the one usually offered with this special. The server allowed us to sample the wine that usually comes with the parrilla and I'm glad they had the other bottle available on the night we were here as we much preferred it. Overall the Parrilla Tuesday special is a great value IMO and since their meats are grilled in a charcoal fired Josper Oven, they were very flavorful and perfectly cooked. Also, when compared to the parrilla offerings at some other Miami area restaurants, we preferred the meat selections we got here at Ossobuco.

The rest of the Miami Spice dishes were flavorful and beautifully presented, making the whole meal feel premium and thoughtfully put together. I will definitely add this spot to my rotation.
