I've come to Grand Public twice now. The first visit was immediately following an event at this…read morerestaurant/bar where my husband joined me for food, the late night happy hour that starts at 10 p.m. and their 1/2 price wine Wednesday promo. I was really disappointed in this place on that night to be honest. The bartender/server seemed new and inexperienced, they closed their kitchen just a few minutes after 10 and it took a conversation with a manager who instructed them not to close until their usual 10:15 so we and others could be served, the club sandwich I had was incredibly dry and felt overpriced at $26 for a relatively small sandwich + $8 extra for a side of fries, and overall I wanted to love this place a lot more than I was able to that night. The bright spot was the bottle of Faust we ordered; regular price here is $110 and on Wednesdays it's almost the same price as retail. We decided to return the following week for dinner to give Grand Public another chance and I'm glad we did, as our experience during that second visit couldn't have been better. We arrived, had a seat at the bar and were given menus right away. We started with the Mediterranean dips and ordered a bottle of Caymus to share. When the dips and laffa bread were brought to us, the staff gave a nice explanation of everything when placing them on the bar. The dips were great, but we had to order extra laffa as the 2 pieces delivered with the hummus, babaganoush and muhammara weren't nearly enough vs. the amount of dip. For our main courses my husband had the steak frites and I the steak and sushi. Though both our meals included a side, we also ordered broccolini. Our steaks were served to us by a manager and our meals were really excellent. Though we didn't get dessert, by the time we'd finished eating it was after 10 so we both ordered a cocktail from their late night happy hour menu, I the Coco Loco and my Husband the Ferrero Rocher espresso martini. Again, both were really excellent and service from our bartender/server, the same one who seemed new and inexperienced the week prior, was very good this time, and he checked on us regularly. Overall I'm a fan of Grand Public, I just wish it was on the ground floor here at CocoWalk so more people would find it. As a bonus, for us at least, there are several screens above the bar for watching sports and other programming. My only critical comments would be two: 1) I wish they had more side dishes to offer. While you can look to see what side dishes the various entrees are served with standard and order those as extra sides, they don't have anything outside of that - mashed potatoes, for example. 2) They close their kitchen on some nights at 10:15. That means if someone comes for the late night happy hour at 10, they have 15 minutes to order food or they're out of luck. In all, though, I'm a fan and the 1/2 priced wines on Wednesdays are a pretty incredible value as they bring the price of many really good bottles down to the price of retail. That alone may lure us back.

I saw an advertisement on social media for "Parrilla Tuesday" at Ossobuco where one gets an 8 oz NY…read morestrip, 5 oz skirt steak, 8 oz picanha, 2 chorizos, 2 lamb chops, wagyu fat potatoes, summer salad and a bottle of wine for $115. 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.

I tried Ossobuco for their Miami Spice menu, and it was one of the best Spice experiences I've had…read more The ambiance is warm and upscale, and the service was spot-on from start to finish. The star of the night? Their beef fat-cooked potatoes. Absolutely unforgettable, crispy, rich, perfectly seasoned, and honestly worth the visit on their own. I'd come back just for those. So good!!! 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.

We kicked things off with two starters, and both delivered. The provoleta was just as good as it…read moresounds, maybe better. It arrived bubbling hot, with a golden, crispy crust . The smoky, salty provolone was perfectly seasoned with oregano, and the Neapolitan sauce was the move...bright, garlicky tomato with just enough acidity to cut through all that richness. Every bite was totally addictive. The Prime Beef Tartare with grilled bone marrow was the perfect counterpoint. The tartare was fresh, silky, and well seasoned, and the grilled bone marrow added a deep, buttery richness that took it over the top. Spread a little marrow on toast, add a spoonful of tartare, and you've got the perfect bite without being heavy. For entrees, we went with the octopus and the tenderloin, and neither missed. The octopus was tender with a nice char on the outside, and the tenderloin was buttery soft and cooked just right. We got that with a side of the Japanese sweet potato served with miso butter , it was hard to stop eating. From the first bite of cheese to the last bite of steak, everything was excellent. This is a spot I'd happily go back to.

Chef's Tasting was out of this world, and our favorites still hit the spot (maybe even more?) with the Caesar salad and milk bread. I'd die happy if this was my last meal. Chef Pedro and Chef Katherine really make it the most welcoming atmosphere, the place is just a cozy & cool vibe, complete with a dash of fun at the end of the dinner. Service was friendly and knowledgeable with each dish and suggested drink pairings. We vow to return hopefully every season when the menu changes accordingly. Forever and always recommend :)

I finally took advantage of Taste of the Gables to check out Kojin…read more My sister and I arrived a little before 9 p.m. and waited to be seated. The dining room is charming but small, the tables are tiny and packed very close together. I also wasn't a huge fan of the lighting, though I loved the minimalist, Asian-inspired floral centerpieces. They were out of the Albariño, so I asked our server to recommend something similar. He suggested a Riesling, but it just wasn't for me, so I switched to sake instead. In hindsight, I really wish he had mentioned it was $35 a glass. That was a pretty unpleasant surprise when the check arrived. Anyways, my sister & I decided to share a bunch of different dishes. To start, I ordered the Summer Salad and my sister got the Milk Bread. The salad was phenomenal, bright, fresh, and full of interesting flavors. The stracciatella added this creamy, comforting richness that tied everything together. The milk bread with miso butter? Absolutely insane. Easily one of the best bites of the night. We also ordered the Crudo à la carte. The presentation was beautiful, with flavored shaved ice keeping the fish chilled, but unfortunately the fish itself tasted overly fishy. We only had a bite or two before telling our server. His response was basically a shrug. No concern, no follow-up, no offer to replace it. For our mains, my sister ordered the Wagyu Striploin, which she really enjoyed. I went with the Maitake Donburi, and this was probably my biggest disappointment of the evening. I was expecting bold flavors, smoky mushrooms, and some contrast in texture. Instead, everything leaned overwhelmingly sweet. The mushrooms had no char, the rice itself tasted sweet, the egg was runny, and the entire bowl was covered in an almost sickly sweet sauce. It felt one-dimensional, and I ended up taking 2 bites before leaving most of it behind. Again, our server noticed and didn't ask if anything was wrong or if there was something else I'd prefer. It felt very much like, "Oh well." For dessert, we shared the Carrot Cake and the Chocolate Tart. Both were good, but neither really wowed me. My sister loved the chocolate tart, while I thought it was just ok. Overall, Kojin wasn't quite the experience I was expecting. The service felt surprisingly indifferent, especially when two dishes were sent back almost untouched. That said, the Summer Salad and Milk Bread were so creative and genuinely delicious that they're reason enough for me to give Kojin another shot. Next time, though, I'll be ordering very differently.

The burrata on bread with the charred Brussels sprouts was incredible, and the mussels were probably some of the best I've had. The sauce was spicy but also a little sweet and completely different from any mussels I've had before. And the hanger steak was AMAZING. So tender and cooked perfectly. Definitely don't skip dessert either! We had the chocolate cake with whiskey and it was delicious. They also have really good bourbon flights, a great Malbec, and an awesome happy hour with $10 wines and discounted cocktails. But what really made the night was the service. Allyson, our bartender, was fantastic and gave us great recommendations. Julia, our server, was super attentive, and Joel, the Operations Director, came over and took the time to explain some of the menu items to us and was just lovely. We went in to celebrate Sylvia's birthday and ended up having such a fun night. Great food, great drinks, great service and a really nice atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Its the Miami expansion of Flight West, a beloved restaurant and bar out of Rochester, NY known for its serious whiskey collection, curated wine program, and hospitality first vibe. The place feels like an elevated dining and cocktail experience from the moment you walk in with a strong bar identity at its core. Let's talk drinks first, because the Juniper was so good I ordered two .. Orange blossom gin, fresh lemon juice, topped with a blackberry foam .. genuinely delicious, easily my favorite of the night. Now for the food, because we came hungry ... We started with the Wagyu tartare which had aioli, puffed quinoa, watermelon, radish, and grilled bread ,absolutely delicious. Then the charred octopus with smoked hummus, which was really tasty, maybe just slightly over on the char side, but the flavor was there. The half shell scallops were the table favorite, a full dozen and every one of them was so good. For mains we split the Flight West burger which was an 8oz Wagyu beef, brie, applewood bacon, arugula, caramelized onions, brioche, plus a side of truffle fries. Incredible. Dessert was the lava cake and churros .. both great, but the lava cake was prob my favorite. Service ran a little slow, but we ended up in a great conversation with Joel, the manager representative who gave us some awesome insight into the story behind the place. Overall an excellent night and this will not be our last visit. Can't wait to go back...And yes, happy hour runs Tuesday-Friday, 5-7pm, so plan accordingly.

There was a good amount of space between tables allowing you to move around freely but also having an intimate feel. The service was on the slower end for my preference but would be perfect if you are looking to lounge and hang out the entire night. Since we had a later dinner reservation we were looking to order a little faster. Recoveco has a small but mighty menu and I was excited to try a few different dishes since the portions are on the smaller side. The standouts to me were the papaya salad, pork collar, and the chicken. I also tried the raw fish, shrimp appetizer, and the gnochetti but felt that they were good, just not amazing. The papaya salad was very flavorful and the best papaya salad that I've ever had. The chicken was also the most tender and juiciest chicken I've ever had. I thought the pumpkin sauce was a nice complement to the dish. It makes sense why these two dishes never change on the menu. The pork collar was also insanely tender and is a great alternative if you're not feeling the chicken. We also tried both desserts and the hands down winner was the guava sorbet dessert with jasmine meringue. Not only did it look cool but the flavors were refreshing and not too sweet, perfect for a hot Miami day.
