    The Commodore inside the Ritz Carlton in Coconut Grove is a smaller ish bar. The bar itself is very elegant with dark wood accents and dimmed lighting. The place itself is very intimate and sexy. The couches are big, brown leather couches that you would see at a faculty lounge at an Ivy League school. There's something about those old school big brown leather couches that hits the right aesthetic for me! They're cozy, comfy and sexy all at the same time! The place has a fireplace with shelves full of books to each end of the fire! Perfect for a relaxing time while waiting for a flight or your next business trip "talk with strangers at the bar" kind of night! I really enjoyed their cheese platter, pizza and French fries! The bar itself is really pretty with all the usual liquor bottles displayed ever so strategically to entice you to get another drink! Really love the lighting in this place! It's perfect to cozy up next to someone sexy! There's also an outdoor area which is nice if you wanna get some fresh air!

    Service and drinks were amazing. Definitely a great spot for a business meeting. Ambiance was very classy and somewhat quiet. We truly enjoyed it

    We came in for happy hour and we were so pleasantly surprised. We live in the area and didn't even know this place existed! The feel is like an old school cigar lounge/library. They even have a fireplace! Happy Hour is daily from 5p-7p. The HH menu has a great selection of bites and cocktails. You also have the ability to order the full menu from Isabelle's. We sat the bar and Jay was extremely helpful with suggestions and we also had great conversation. This place was a hidden gem for us. I hesitated letting the cat out of the bag with this review- but I can't be selfish and keep this great experience away from my fellow Yelpers!

    This is one of the more posh options of hidden yet premium bars in Coconut Grove that I like to come to. Tucked away inside the Ritz-Carlton, you'll find this sultry bar that is so much more than just an addition to a hotel. Upon my most recent visit, I opted for two espresso martinis in efforts to kill time before my dinner resy nearby. Not only is the service on point but so are their cocktails. Bar bites are offered alongside your drink as the elegantly decorated seating area amongst their wood-panelled walls set the mood. Everything is nicer at the Ritz and this bar is the perfect way to aim for such. It's a higher end option for those elegant nights where a dive bar isn't suffice so dress accordingly. There's plenty of meter parking around the hotel so feel free to stop by when in the area. It won't disappoint!

    Showed up to the commodore for their weekend happy hour specials. What a great experience ! The cocktails on the happy hour menu are delicious and well crafted. They also have some bites on the happy hour menu. I really enjoyed the penicillin, and I had a chance to try the slider and it was also delicious ! I would highly recommend this bar for happy hour, or as a nice cocktail bar with a great environment.

    I love this bar! We are staying at The Ritz for our anniversary weekend and decided to grab a drink here after dinner. This bar has such good vibes, live music, a cozy atmosphere and great drinks. What's better than that!? Hubby got an espresso martini and I got the French 47. It was the most expensive cocktail I've ever had at $36, but so worth it! It tasted amazing! So refreshing and light, I ordered 2 lol. It was anniversary weekend, yolo. Service was friendly and relaxed. So classy and refined. Drinks are more pricey than normal but they are top notch. Hubby said his espresso martini was probably the best he's had in Miami. I loved this spot for a drink. Looks like they have a nice happy hour as well.

    Nice, intimate bar located inside of the ritz Carlton in coral gables. It was a nice time and the bartenders were super friendly and helpful. The decor inside was well designed with comfortable seating all around, dim lighting at night, and a small book case so this it gives the vibes of a speakeasy. Stop by for a drink for date night, you won't regret it.

    One for the best happy hours in south Florida ! Everything is 7-10 dollars and the quality you can't beat. The staff is attentive and the best part is that it is never packed or a rush at the bar !

    Excellent service and well priced happy hour menu and specials every day 5-7. The interior has a comfy feel with a fireplace, large leather chairs, and a wall of built in library shelves. The wings were flavorful not spicy hot. And the cheese board was fun and filling.

    One of my favorite bar in the grove. A perfect place to discuss books over a delicious drink. The vibe is perfect for a low key night or an intellectual conversation with dim lighting. A real fireplace btw for those chilly nights in Miami ;) but seriously you forget that you're in Miami inside this lovely place. Best of all is the bartenders. All of them are amazing! I feel right at home and well we come here every month to discuss the latest book. The chocolate budino tart is a must! It was nice to be able to order from Isabelle's there. Didn't get the photo but I also got the house wings which were delicious and their spicy rub is on point! Looking forward to happy hour next Sunday! :)

    We've been coming here for a couple of our Book Club meetups & absolutely love how accommodating the staff all around! We're a rambunctious crowd, so their patience with us is highly appreciated! Their happy hour menu has some great selections, including some delicious Cocktails! Their Chotizo Manchego Croquettas are a must to try during HH. The setting of old Florida is one of the things I love the most about this place - the bar is something out of a 1920s drinking den!

    Impressed. Beautiful bar with speakeasy vibes at the Ritz Carlton Coconut Grove. I had a refreshing gin & tonic with my friends during our holiday party in December. The staff was great & so were the cocktails. They seem to have a nice Happy Hour from 4-6 that i look forward to trying soon! Cheers.

    Sitting at the commodore drinking a old fashion made me feel like I was in a movie. I felt like a was in a narco meeting making a deal. The vibes felt like money. This is a great spot to have a meeting and discuss business. I loved it.

The Beso de Fuego cocktail is a must-try if you like spicy tequila passion fruit drinks, and the dates, frito mixto, and salt cod croquettes were cooked beautifully. While it's a bit pricey (expected for Coconut Grove real estate), the main thing to note is the ambiance: it plays pretty loud house music. If house isn't your genre, it can feel a bit noisy. Overall, I'd absolutely go back, but I'd use it as a trendy pre-dinner drink spot rather than a main event destination.

Unfortunately, they sat us in the most uncomfortable table and chair set up in the restaurant. In the middle, they have these very short tables with uncomfortable stools and chairs that make dining awkward. Not to mention, that two of these tables are so close together that my friends and I were bumping elbows and touching the backs of the other dining guests in the table right behind us. And, to make matters worse, we not only had to be in an uncomfortable and tight space with the guests behind us, but we had to endure their yelling almost in our ears the entire time because the music in that restaurant is extremely loud. Music can be loud, but it is to the point where you cannot even hear yourself when speaking or you can only hear the other guests yelling. Suggestions to restaurant management, get rid of the awkward, short tables and chairs, or ask guests when they're making the reservation if they want to sit in that type of setting. Also, you may want to separate those type of tables and stools because they are WAY too close for comfort. And, consider bringing down the music level a few decibels.

My friend and I waited near the hostess stand for a bit and felt overlooked as everyone was understandably focused on the situation. A simple "hello, welcome, we'll be right with you" would have gone a long way. Having worked in hospitality for many years, I know things happen behind the scenes, but guest communication is so important. After a short wait, the manager stepped in, apologized, and got us seated, which I really appreciated. From that point on, the service was excellent. Everyone was attentive and helpful, and I especially want to shout out the food runner, who was personable and made a great impression. One thing that could have been handled better: our server took our drink order but never mentioned happy hour. When we later asked for the menu, we were told it was only available at the bar. Since I use a wheelchair for mobility, getting onto a bar stool would have been difficult, so I felt that a more accessible accommodation should have been offered. You'll see in my video I was the 4 top right next to the bar. That said, the food was good, and I still had a nice time with my friend. With just a little more attention to communication and accessibility, this could have been an even better experience.

I love one particular area below where they have a net hanging, and people can lay on it looking at the bay. That's amazing. One thing I would change as we were sitting in high tables to the east of us there are planters with Clussia plants they should definitely trim them for the people that are sitting at the tables and they can also look out to the water. Otherwise you won't see it unless you walk east towards the water.. The bathroom bathrooms are super clean, constantly people cleaning the entire place. And there's also an area with sofas everywhere but be aware you have to rent those separately by the DJ.. I'm very happy overall and I will return

Each drink stood out and had its own unique flavor profile. They are light, but strong at the same 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.

We came for brunch on Saturday and there was a wait time, which is expected considering it's a popular brunch time, so it was totally okay. However we were sat not more than 10 mins after putting our names on the waitlist, which was great. This place is BEAUTIFUL, it is also HUGE, there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, both offering a really nice ambiance. We sat inside and loved the decor and vibes. Our server was very nice and fun. Service was great and the bussers and servers were very attentive. We ordered scrambled eggs with Gruyère, one with a side of baguette and another with an everything bagel. The potatoes were the star of the show, they were perfectly crispy and so well seasoned. The eggs were a bit underwhelming and had a little bit of an odd aftertaste but they were still good. We loved both the baguette and the bagel. We also had a side of bacon which was super flavorful but could've been crispier or fresher. One of the things to highlight were their prices, which are extremely reasonable and just amazing for the area and quality of the food. This is such a great find! Can't wait to go back and try other dishes. Their french toast looked incredible! 10/10 spot.
