    Pork Collar
    Glenn F.

    We had high expectations for Recoveco, as it was named named one of the "20 Best New Restaurants of 2025" by Bon Appétit. Strengths: *Nice use of small space: light and airy with original art *Free parking (but it's challenging ot find- it's about a block away on SW 74th St. *The desserts were exceptional- some of the best we've ever had. The Mulberry Leaf and Homestead Guava was creative and complemented by cucumber; the Fruit and Cream had luscious poached quince and tonka bean caramel Weaknesses: *The seats are uncomfortable, made of solid wood. Pillows would help *The appetizers and main courses were disappointing. The Snapper Crudo had a nice horseradish sauce, but crackers or something crispy would have helped to break up the textural monotony of soft on soft. The chicken liver mousse, although excellent, was paired with an overly sweet speculaas. The Black Grouper was uninspired, and the Berkshire Pork Collar was marred by excessive fat chunks *The wine lists seemed to pursue the exotic over quality Overall, Recoveco did not qualify as one of the 20 Best New Restaurants in the US in 2025, at least from our perspective.

    Wanted to try Recoveco since it's been rated so highly. The ribeye changed my life tbh. The papaya salad was phenomenal! so many flavors, salty, sweet, spicy, crunchy. The mountain of shaved parm on top was chefs kiss. The fish was TENDER af & had this pistachio butter sauce that I could literally marry. SO GOOD

    Chocolate dessert

    Current favorite restaurant. I went tonight and our group of 4 girls ordered every single item on the menu (yes, every item). Everything was delicious! There was nothing we wouldnt order again. Favorites to callout was the Grouper on special, which was flavored in a sweet and spicy type of szechuan sauce, and the salad, which came with nuts, small cubes of cheese and a tangy delicious dressing. The chicken liver mousse was also a favorite of the table! I definitely recommend this place. Portions are a bit small, so you will need more than you expect to feel full. The service was also wonderful!

    Fig Leaf and Pineapple dessert
    Marharyta K.

    Decided to try Recoveco because of all the attention it got in such a short time. The menu is small and rotates from every 2 days to weeks depending on the seasonal availability of the ingredients.   What I had:   Snapper Crudo was small, but my tastebuds were shocked with multiple flavor blasts that surround the melt-in-your-mouth fresh fish.    Grassfed Beef Tongue is another small in size starter but strongly recommended one. The sweet whipped sesame cream is a perfect match with garlicky chimichurri and beef carpaccio. Comes with chicken-fat-cooked crackers. Don't you dare to leave Recoveco without having this dish!   Pennsylvania Golden Chicken is what everyone almost forces you to try here. The presentation was extravagant with a chicken paw (for me as a gentle person, it ruined the appetite a bit). I'll describe it simply: soft half-chicken with crispy skin, tart green mango sauce, baked whole potato. I didn't quite understand the buzz around it.   Fig Leaf and Dellerman's Pineapple dessert with Juniper Berry meringue was visually impressive, and you could see all the different techniques they used to make it. The pineapple sorbet tasted like a real fruit just bursted in your mouth--very refreshing and a perfect digestive.   The service was very attentive but not fast. The dinner took us two hours; however, this restaurant is made for slow dining, sipping on wine, indulging in the food, and discussing the flavors with your companions. So yeah, excellent service.    It can be tricky to get a table if you don't make a reservation in advance. I'm sure we'll see this place in a Michelin guide next year, so make your reservation while you can.

    Crudo was a work of art!

    This gem did not disappoint! Wow, what an amazing addition to the SoMi dining scene. From the razor clams and kohlrabi salad to the fish entree and spectacular merengue sorbet and chocolate merengue desserts, the ambiance, service, and explosion of flavors deserve a return visit. Kudos to Esteban and the sommelier for their recommendations and kind words. We're so ready to return and taste their next seasonal menu.

    Some things are better appreciated when they are understood. And, we were lucky enough to visit this restaurant after the waned popularity of Netflix's Chef's Table series & the dominance of a show like "The Bear" in pop culture. Because, Recoveco seems more like a restaurant in those portrayals than a restaurant an average eater would be familiar with. We are in not just foodie territory here - we are in nouvelle cuisine. And that takes a little navigating...a little guidance - lest you overlook the nuances that make a world of difference. Thankfully, the staff here are more than up to the task. Invest in them. Listen to them & ask questions. The servers here are almost interpreters - letting you know what is special & why. They were wonderful with our big party of 13 - patient & informative. And I think they are absolutely necessary here - adding as much to the meal as the ambiance & the presentation does. Respectfully, it requires that guidance. It takes a little deciphering to fully appreciate (& maybe even justify) a half-chicken with a $64 price. Context is paramount in a restaurant like this - because a chicken is a chicken at the end of the day, and because processed foods can provide a scientifically mediated flavor experience unparalleled in the natural world. Thankfully, Recoveco provides the context with the highly trained staff & a minimalist ambience. The combination sends the message - focus on what we are doing with the food. The focus is reflected in the menu. Appearing scant to the uniformed, it is a lean selection showing intention & purpose. And, if you read the description, you'll notice the dedication to ingredients more than to quantity. You will taste the dedication to ingredients too. And this is what you came for. They deliver! We were fortunate enough to briefly speak with one of the chefs. She mentioned to us a bit about the cooking philosophy (an interaction that is a dream come true for a foodie). She spoke about an emphasis on approachability - like almost tasting a common ingredient, but for the 1st time. Simultaneously humble & ambitious. The flavor pairings were unique while still identifiable. It was like a conversation with a uniquely interesting person - using words I know, but putting them together in ways that produce something I never thought of. A culinary experience not common in Miami. I wish price were not a factor here - because I think that's the barrier. High prices can stand for quality & innovation - yes. But, high prices can also substitute for luxury or status...things not necessarily related to a gastronomic experience. If you are here purely for dining , it's worth it. But like in art, value in food is subjective. And art is an apt comparison. Recoveco offers food as high art - more about sharing a vision than it is about luxury. A worthwhile experience for the discerning.

    Cheese and Fruit dessert
    Yasemin S.

    RUN, don't walk to Recoveco. From the moment you step into this restaurant, you are treated to a culinary journey that tantalizes the senses. Each dish is a masterpiece, showcasing an exquisite balance of flavors and textures. We tried a few things off the menu based off the recommendations from our great server, Shannon. We started with a really refreshing and delicious salad (not listed on the online menu), and then tried the Great American Red Snapper Crudo which surprised us with its creamy horchata, umami-rich kombu, and a kick from pickled agretti and black radish - you will not find Crudo like this anywhere else... the flavors are outstanding. Next we tried the tender Beef Tongue paired with nutty sesame and vibrant chimichurri which offers a delightful contrast, while the Pennsylvania Golden Chicken shines with its juicy meat, tangy green mango sauce, and herbal hoja santa. Both desserts are equally impressive, with the Fig Leaf and Cucumber providing a refreshing finish and the Cheese and Fruit dessert delivering a creamy, juicy, and slightly spicy experience. We truly appreciated that we were not rushed to eat all the dishes at once, and felt the staff really wanted us to enjoy each dish, which added to the experience and allowed us to appreciate what we were eating. Parking is conveniently located in the back of the building. This restaurant is a must visit for anyone seeking an extraordinary dining experience.

    Delicious food and wonderful service. I do think this is over priced but I greatly appreciate the quality of the products and the care with which they cook.

I really enjoyed the gyozas, they were crunchy on the outside but so savory on the inside. The soup dumplings literally burst in your mouth. They were so yummy. The fried milk bun felt like I was eating a Thai donut, I expected something different but it was good. As an entree I enjoyed the Tonkatsu hot pot, presentation was 10/10. The broth tastes so good, I couldn't get enough, they use rice noodles for this dish specifically which I love. Everyone was great service wise, very kind and accommodating. The only thing I will say is that 2 dishes took longer than expected to arrive so some of the people in our party had to wait a bit longer to eat their food. Other than that, we enjoyed the food very much. The boba tea was also so good! They have a good variety of flavors to choose from, my cousins got a rainbow one and it looked so appealing to the eye. I had the green tea lemonade and added boba, it was very refreshing.

So, let's get into it: I don't know about you, but the one thing I do not enjoy doing is driving and circling around, being lost, just to find an establishment. So, I love that this restaurant is so easy to find with good signage, lots of nearby parking, both street and lots. Anywho, once I parked, the manager Judd was so friendly and kind and directed me to the table where my friend was seated. He overheard that I was kind of speaking loud over the music when I barely had a voice due to losing it from another event, so he kindly turned down the music for us. Once there, service was quick and attentive. I got a Fresh Paloma for my drink and the Seared Salmon for dinner. The drink was a good size and tasted good, no complaints there. As for the dinner, WOW. This was delicious, I would get this again. The flavors were there and the portions were just perfect (not too much and not too little, I usually never get enough or leave with leftovers). Also, not overpriced for Miami in my opinion. Aside from that, I did try some of my friend's off-menu pasta and it was really yummy. Furthermore, they have great weekly specials: (Note, subject to change. Please check Instagram or call for Current Week): Tuesday: Burgers and Bottles, $10 Burgers and Half off Select Bottles of Wine Wednesday: Double Loyalty Points and Fire, Flour & Fizz ($12 Pizzas, $12 Aperol Spritz, $7 Prosecco, 5pm-close) Thursday Ladies Night: Complimentary Bubbly for Ladies 4pm-7pm Sunday: 10am-4pm Bloody Mary Bar Go check it out, I don't think you'll regret it.

The surprise star of the meal was the Brussels sprouts. These are hands down some of the best I've had at a restaurant. The combination of savory ham, sweet jam, and tangy blue cheese sauce worked beautifully. If you're a blue cheese fan, do not skip this one! For dessert, we shared the Beauty Cake. It was rich without being overly sweet, which I appreciated. The hazelnut crunch and scoop of ice cream on the side took it to another level. And of course, you can't leave without trying one of their cookies. Consider it mandatory. Service was excellent throughout the evening. Our waiter checked in regularly, offered great recommendations, and helped make the celebration feel special. We had great seats near the bar, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the overall vibe was lively without being overwhelming. My only minor let-down was the condition of the bathrooms. It was a busy night, so I understand they were getting a lot of traffic, but they could have used a quick check-in and cleaning during service. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with great food, attentive service, and a fun atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back and working my way through more of the menu.
