    Picanha Adobo

    Delicious food - guacamole appetizer and picanha adobe steak with yucan fries. The outdoor seating was enjoyable for sidewalk people watching though the indoors also appeared to be an elegant choice of atmosphere.

    Espresso Martini

    I recently went to Jaguar with a group of friends looking for a spot to mingle and have a fun night out, and, it was a great choice! The ambiance is lively, definitely the kind of place that sets a mood for a senior crowd like we are. The music perfectly balanced, not too loud and not low, also great selection. The service was nice; our server was attentive and kept the energy up without being overbearing. But the real highlight of the night is the food and drinks. We started with the mini picanha tacos (served on a wooden board), and they were incredible. The meat was perfectly seasoned and topped with a fresh pico de gallo that really made the flavors authentic. We also shared some chips and guacamole which were the perfect pairing. The guac was fresh. To cheer the night, I had their Espresso Martini. Super creamy, foamy, perfectly balanced, and garnished with those classic coffee beans. If you're looking for a spot to roar with your gals in Coconut Grove that nails the 'cool' factor while serving high-quality food, scratch into Jaguar.

    Great staff! Food was perfect. Different styles of ceviche. Try the sampler. Very good. The octopus was perfectly grilled! Very nice on the inside. Cannot wait to go back!

    picanha steak

    Jaguar in Coconut Grove completely won me over. From the moment I walked in, the energy felt right -- warm lighting, the hum of good conversation, and that cozy, tropical vibe that feels so Miami without trying too hard. I started with the ceviche sampler, and it honestly set the tone for the whole night -- every bite was fresh, citrusy, and perfectly balanced. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. The flavors just pop. The picanha steak was another standout packed with flavor without being heavy. The staff deserves a shoutout too. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that we were having a good time. It didn't feel forced -- just good hospitality from people who love what they do. By the end of the night, I realized Jaguar isn't just another "nice restaurant." It's the kind of place that leaves an impression -- the food, the atmosphere, the way it all comes together. Perfect spot for a date night or just to treat yourself to something special. If you're in Coconut Grove, don't overthink it -- go to Jaguar. You'll leave happy.

    Stopped by Jaguar for happy hour and had a great time. The vibe was super chill, with an ambiance that gave off rainforest, Tarzan-like feels. A really cool spot to relax, enjoy a drink, and take in the atmosphere. Food was good, service was fast

    Skirt steak
    Orlando R.

    After years of walking the grove and just looking inside this place I'm very disappointed with myself that I hadn't walked in here earlier. I recently went to a wedding reception here and the Latin American food that I had definitely has a new place in my heart. The smoked fish croquettes made me rethink what croquettes are suppose to be from how delicious, big and filling they were. The skirt steak was cooked to perfection and the ceviche makes me want to have my next date night here. They also have awesome service so if you're lost in the menu don't hesitate to ask the waiter for suggestions. Perfect for a business lunch, after work cocktails with great food or even taking that special someone out for a treat.

    Grilled Mahi Fish Tacos
    Sundar R.

    A very good restaurant with nice ambiance and good service. The Smoked Fish Croquettes were a perfect brown color and fried to perfection. Very delicious. The Grilled Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos had good flavor and taste. Usually, Mahi Mahi is hard to chew in a taco. Here, they were cut thin and was so soft in the taco.

    Lomo Saltado
    JP D.

    Decided to come and check this lil hidden gem. Has been here for a while and finally said let's do it! Place is very nice and welcoming. Food was super yummy and very tasty. Lomo saltado and grill fish. Had the bread pudding for dessert. Everything was superb. A must try, I truly recommend it.

    Excellent drinks and service! The staff is so friendly and inviting, perfect place to hang out with seating inside and outside. Mojitos are especially good!

    We came here with our family as a group of 7 during happy hour. I recommend making a reservation as it was busy! Drinks were delicious and I felt like they were a good deal during happy hour. The menu was big and full of things I want to try- but I ended up getting the seasonal special escabeche. WOW. Flavorful, perfectly cooked, and a big portion. I tried my husbands tiger prawns and was equally impressed. Service was good and I appreciated how quick they were despite it being crowded. Would definitely come back for a special occasion :)

    Yucatán Breakfast
    Erin K.

    Ate at Jaguar on a Saturday morning, and it was surprisingly empty at 11am for brunch. However, it started filling up around 12/12:30pm. The actual restaurant is huge with a bar and plenty of indoor seating, but there are also a few tables outside. I ordered the Yucatan Breakfast and Fruit Plate off the brunch menu, and both were delicious! The pork came out piping hot, and several of the waiters warned me not to touch the cast iron skillet. It also came with a side of tortillas and guac. For $15, I found the portion size to very reasonable! The fruit plate had an assortment of 7 different fruits, including red dragonfruit, pineapple, and kiwi. The staff here was great. We had a large party, and everything came out correctly and in a short amount of time.

    Steak & Yuca fries, shrimp, salad!
    Anna

    Jaguar is our go-to date night spot! The staff are very kind and accommodating and remember us by name. The food is out of this world fresh and delicious, and the wait times are never long without a reservation, but the restaurant stays comfortably busy and lively. Bonus, we often run into friends here! It's so fun to walk around coconut grove after dinner and see the pretty architecture or walk along the water. Beautifully located and well staffed, with an amazing menu and rotating specials!

You won't find fancy or extravagant decor here and when looking at the wines, the list of whites in particular wasn't very extensive and I think all were priced less than $50/bottle. The dining area isn't terribly large but it's well-appointed with dark wood chairs, white linen tablecloths and napkins and the place is well-maintained. Most everything about Farolito deserved 3.5 stars, though our waiter would rate higher IMO. Service on the night we were here was attentive from outgoing staff, and they didn't mind swapping the type of fish that was listed in the menu for a particular dish. If there was an upcharge to make such a change, they'd tell you up front what it was. Prices were reasonable and the food was good; we'd definitely come here again when in the area. There are a few other Peruvian/ceviche spots in the Gables and Grove that we tend to visit more often - though admittedly, those other spots do come with higher pricepoints than Farolito. There's no auto-gratuity on the bill here, but our final check listed one price if we'd pay in cash, or a higher final cost if we'd be paying with a credit card, which is something I'd not seen before in any restaurant.

Francesco started as a well known ceviche restaurants in Lima Peru which is known for their great culinary experiences. The interior of the restaurant is very elegant and homey located next door to the Miracle Mile Actor's Playhouse. The menu here is traditional Peruvian menu with a gourmet flare. To start we order two appetizers the acevichado de Tuna and the Murasaki roll. The acevichado de tuna was sliced high grade ahi tuna, sliced avocado and drenched in a Creamy Ají Amarillo Sauce, very fresh and flavorful. The Muraski roll consisted of breaded shrimp, avocados, and cream cheese topped with slices of octopus and olive sauce. This was a spectacular roll with plump shrimps and the tasty olive sauce. For the main entree we ordered the Seafood rice and their sliced steak with shrimp sitting on top of cilantro risottos.Both dishes were exceptional but the steak was perfection tender and well seasoned. The pisco sour here is also a must especially the coconut one. For dessert we ordered a flan which very creamy and solid. I highly recommend Francesco for a nice elegant night out in the town.

We were seated right away, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout the evening. The service was excellent--our plates and silverware were always refreshed, our water glasses were constantly refilled, and Valeria was especially helpful and attentive. For appetizers, we ordered the octopus and the croquetas, and both were very good. The picanha was delicious and cooked perfectly. I ordered the special carbonara with caviar, which mentioned Wagyu bacon. While the dish was good, it was underwhelming overall. There was very little meat, and I felt it lacked flavor. The same went for the truffle mac and cheese--it was disappointing, with very little truffle flavor and not enough sauce or cheese. The portions in general were quite small, including the appetizers. For dessert, we had the warm cookie and the cheesecake empanada, and both were very good. The biggest downside was the cost. Our bill was very expensive (almost 500$) and we were also charged a 20% service fee, which came out to about $70. We were told that this fee goes "to the house," and that any additional tip would go to the server. That was surprising and honestly did not sit well with us. Overall, the service was great and there were definitely some highlights, but for the price, the food and portion sizes did not fully meet expectations.

Parking was easy with a parking garage right across the street. We went on a Wednesday night at 7:30 and although we arrived a little early, we were greeted and seated immediately. It isn't a huge place, but it had a nice buzz going on. Low lighting gave it a very romantic vibe. We aren't drinkers so we stuck to water but they do appear to have a lovely wine selection. I had a purse and the hostess brought over a stand to hang my purse on which was very much appreciated. Our server was attentive and came over right away to go over the menu. Everything is meant for sharing, which was fabulous because we wanted to try a few different things. Join me on a lovely tour of the menu we experienced. We started with an empanada which was good, the cilantro sauce was a bit tangy. Good flavor to the meat. We also had the Osso Bone Marrow to start and wow this was delicious. It was bone marrow topped with Ossobuco marmalade on top and some smoked chimichurri, served with a few slices of toasted baguette. This was excellent, but combined with the empanada it was a heavy start to the evening. Would definitely only do this again if we had more people to share with. Next came the 16 oz skirt steak, street corn, and wild mushrooms. The steak was perfectly cooked, served with a small bowl of salt and a bowl of chimichurri. Nothing too special about it, was exactly what would be expected of a perfectly cooked skirt steak. The street corn is not a huge serving which was excellent. It was a perfect amount for us to share. This was served with queso fresco, bread crumbs, and a chipotle crema. Finally, my favorite dish was the wild mushrooms. This was served with a poached egg, croutons, and micro greens. The mushrooms had the most amazing savory and earthy flavor. This is a plate I would easily want to have every time I would go. There's a dessert menu but we did not even look at it. We were so full, it was a great amount of food and we left truly satisfied. The service was attentive and fast. All in all, we will be back to try the Ossobuco croquetas, ricotta gnocchi, and many other dishes we had our eyes on. Excellent

The first thing to know is that the café is very small with limited seating, so be prepared to wait if they're busy. I ordered Tina's French Toast, which is one of their most popular items. For $18, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. The slice I received was much smaller than what I'd seen in photos and reminded me of regular sandwich bread. It was also slightly burnt and tasted like toasted bread with house-made syrup and a hint of orange zest. I also ordered the Sunny Side Scramble, which was simply scrambled organic eggs with Parmesan. I appreciate that they use organic eggs, but there wasn't anything particularly memorable about the dish. The BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese) sandwich was decent but, again, nothing that justified the price. My favorite item was probably the tallow potatoes. They were crispy, flavorful, and well-cooked, but the portion was so small that it felt like one tiny potato cut into quarters. In the end, I spent about $100 on four items and left feeling disappointed. None of the food was bad, but none of it stood out or lived up to the hype either. Experiences like this are why I don't automatically trust influencer reviews anymore. Too often they feel more like paid promotions than honest opinions. I believe a good reviewer should be willing to share both the good and the bad. I understand that negative reviews can impact a business, but honesty is what helps people decide where to spend their hard-earned money. I really wanted to enjoy Tina Café, but for me, it simply didn't live up to the expectations
