    a refrigerator full of drinks

    Cute greek coffee shop in Coconut Grove! I like that they are versatile, you can go for a quick coffee break or a happy hour wine break. Follow their instagram as some days they have live music. They have bistro style outdoor seating, and great drinks & snacks.

    As I sit here on having a "Sunday Funday" for one, sipping a deliciously bitter yet refreshing Mastiqua (a Greek sparkling water that's good for digestion), I find myself very content with the vegan dolmades, spinach pie, and the glass of white wine I just finished. It's a beautiful and hot day in Coconut Grove and this corner gem, nestled in a still old-school style coconut grove (iykyk) with its eclectic Greek music and euro-style seating is perfect for people watching and delicious eating. As an advocate for solo dining experiences, this one is a must try for your weekend itinerary. The service is nothing but sweet and genuine--it's clear that this business' staff wants you to enjoy your time. The food is delicious--as a spanikopita lover, the filo dough is flaky, not greasy, and the filling is perfectly savory with a hint of tartness from the cheese. And please, if you are a sparkling fan lover and don't mind bitter tastes, treat yourself to a mastiqua!

    Located right down the street from cocowalk and the Mayfair hotel this quaint little place has just the thing to break my and my daughters fast from the night before. We have many allergies including gluten and we were able to find food on the menu that kept us from grabbing our epi pens. The seating outside was ample and allowed us to people watch and enjoy the beautiful views of Coconut grove. We recommend this place for a quick morning meal and will certainly check it out again next time we visit the coconut grove area.

    I'm so happy that Calista Cafe opened in Coconut Grove! It is exactly what the neighborhood needed. A small, cozy, unique café that takes you on a little trip to Greece. The staff was exceptionally kind and the quality of products was great. The Bougainvillea on the outside, really captures the essence of the islands of Greece. I look forward to coming back and seeing what additional treats one can indulge in.

    Quick, cute and in the perfect location a block away from my hotel. Great service and perfect for a quick pick me up. Had lots of Greek food as well and chocolates

    Cheese pie, delicious.

    Good food, quiet little corner place away from the bustle of Coconut Grove. I love the cheese pie, spinach pie, and salads.

    This is a little gem on a quiet street in Coconut Grove. Food is lovely and cute outdoor seating. I imagine it is also great for takeout.

    From the moment you walk into Mandolin Aegean Bistro, it feels like you've been transported to a…read morecharming village in Greece. The beautiful outdoor setting creates such a unique and relaxing atmosphere that you almost forget you're still in the city. The food was outstanding. The grilled meatballs were flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the cheese saganaki was absolutely delicious. But the real star of the meal was the beef souvlaki--it was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. And I have to mention the fries that came with it. They were honestly some of the best fries I've ever had, and definitely not something I expected to be raving about at a Greek restaurant! This was an amazing dining experience from start to finish, and I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu.

    We visited Mandolin during our stay in Miami because we love Mediterranean cuisine, and overall, it…read morewas a solid experience. For appetizers, we ordered the Ali Nazik and Eggplant Carpaccio. The Ali Nazik was phenomenal. We were given a side of bread, which paired really well with the dish. The lamb was packed with flavor, and the smoked eggplant yogurt was fire. The two complemented each other perfectly. The Eggplant Carpaccio was good as well. I will say, though, that if you aren't a fan of dishes with a heavy vinegar flavor, this may not be for you. I'd also be curious to see how this dish would taste served warm. For our entree, we ordered the Beef Souvlaki, which came with six skewers of filet mignon. The beef was perfectly cooked and very tender, so no complaints there. However, the rest of the dish didn't really stand out to me. The fries were decent, but nothing crazy. As a first-time visitor, I also feel like this probably wasn't the best dish to order if you want to get a full sense of what the restaurant has to offer. One of my biggest disappointments was that the restaurant primarily had outdoor seating. Maybe it was just the night we went, but it was extremely hot and humid, and the fans in our area weren't cutting it. It was also very dark, making it difficult to see the menus and even our food. I think better lighting, especially toward the front of the restaurant, would make a big difference. The food came out very quickly, which we appreciated. I do wish our server had been a little more helpful, though. We wanted to learn more about the menu and were hoping for some guidance and recommendations, but he didn't really guide us through the menu the way I had hoped. Overall, Mandolin was a solid experience, and the Ali Nazik in particular was a standout. I'd be interested in coming back and trying some of their other dishes to get a better feel for what the restaurant does best.
