    Make reservations and know the entertainment schedule!! We stopped in on a whim for a quick date night, and were seated right away. Staff were extremely friendly, the wine was really good, and the paella (excellent!). Downside... 7PM on a Saturday night, we were the only ones there! It was a little awkward, but we still had a great time. Will definitely be back for a show!!

    Tasty, authentic Spanish tapas and entrees in a historic looking restaurant! You have the feeling of being transported to another country being in here. Performance stage has live music like flamenco on weekend nights. Service is the weakest point---spotty and not knowledgeable---but if you can work with it, the food is worth a visit. I went for their brunch, to celebrate my birthday, which is typically only offered on Sundays, but the owner was kind enough to have the chef accommodate a request for brunch items on a Saturday. They have bottomless cava-mosas for $35, which we took very full advantage of as the combination of fresh orange juice with the cava helped our party have a great time. A few of us would ask for refills, and our server would take three or four flutes back to the bar to pour the drinks. It became clear that he was not keeping track of whose glass was whose and simply came back and placed glasses in front of us without checking anything. Luckily we all liked each other enough to be able to be comfortable with sharing glasses. I had the Chistorras a la Casuela and Spanish Tortilla which were both tasty. The Chistorras had well seasoned potato cubes, crisped chorizo and a beautifully runny fried egg. The tortilla was hefty with its layers of scalloped potatoes, held together with fluffed egg. I shared one and a half slices with my friends, then asked for the rest of it to take with me. The server took it and never returned with the takeout container. If you can't tell by now, our server was young, distracted, and quite clueless. There was a soccer game on in the restaurant, and we caught him watching the game a few times while we were trying to get his attention for an order. He told me that the owner wanted to give me a surprise, so he wanted to know when our meal was done. Obviously, he didn't get the memo about what a surprise is. However, like I said, the ambience of the restaurant, and its food are worth a try. The owner, William, is an incredibly sweet gentleman whom you should be able to meet since he is at the restaurant almost every day. Hopefully, you'll have a different service experience. You may have a better chance going with a smaller group rather than the large group I had!

    Dinner plans tonight? How about Spanish food in Coral Gables? . We enjoyed some delicious plates at @latabernagiralda with a wine tasting! Couldn't get any better! . La Taberna Giralda, located on the "quieter" side of Giralda Ave, has not only delicious food, but live music and flamenco on certain nights. And they will have more special evening plans coming soon! So be sure to follow and stay up to date with shows, music, tasting events and more! . Bacalao al Pil Pil: fresh cod fillet in light olive oil sauce made with garlic and chili served over potatoes Salmon Carpaccio con crujiente de jamón serrano: thinly sliced salmon marinated in a sauce and topped with crispy Serrano ham crumbs Salmón al Limón: Salmón drizzled with a light lemon sauce and sliced boiled potatoes Faena de Croquetas: serrano ham, cod and blue cheese variety of croquetas Calamares Fritos: fried calamari with aioli Adobo: crispy marinated fried mahi mahi with aioli

    I was looking for a place to watch La Supercopa de España with my son and as we root for FC Barcelona, not that other team, a little research online pointed us to La Taberna Giralda. This is where the Barca fans in Miami gather for games. I showed up early in order to grab a good spot. The restaurant has both tables and bar seating inside and an outdoor patio. It was game day so all the staff were in their Spain shirts. The ambiance was great. A great mix of single guys, couples and families all rooting for Barca. Staff was super attentive and a great selection of beers from Spain on tap. We ordered a handful of apps but they also had paella which I might order next time because it looked amazing. For appetizers, we ordered the Patatas Bravas, Gambas (shrimp) al Ajillo and Fried Calamari. All were delicious. The Gambas al Ajillo were probably my favorite. But who doesn't love garlic and butter combo?!? And all through out the match I enjoyed one of my favorite Spanish beers, Mahou, which they had on tap. In the end our team won by a decisive score of 5-2. A great time was had. Much singing and celebrating by everyone. Staff was attentive from start to finish. It felt like they really enjoyed having a large crowd. Which is not always the case. So I'm very appreciative of that and will definitely be back for more games.

    Great location with a parking garage across the street or a side parking lot. I came here for my birthday dinner on a Saturday night to enjoy the flamenco dancer and the Spanish food. I made reservations for three. Once you walk in they walk you to your table. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The food was very delicious and came out very quickly. Loved the live music the singer, dancer and drummer were excellent and sound amazing! Music starts at 8:30pm I believe. Totally worth going we got tapas like the mahi mahi bites (Adobo) the Octopus a la plancha, morcilla sliders, calamari, Tabla mixta, Sangria.

    Eggplant chips
    Ana W.

    Delicious and authentic Spanish cuisine. The oxtail was tender and fell off the bone . The flavors were simple and done to perfection. The eggplant chips were unique and a lovely appetizer.

    Paella de Mariscos
    Diana M.

    Delicious dinner and a show !! The service was great but a bit slow on the delivery of the food. I would not worry though since you are having a great time anyways. The music and dancing is so lively. At one point the whole restaurant got up and started dancing all together with the Flamenco dancer. It was such a fun time. The food was another great experience, super fresh and delicious. Definitely coming back for a celebration or just to have a good time!

    Eggplant Chips de Berenjena

    Such a hidden gem and we had SO much fun during Saturday night flamenco. Our server was great & had good recs for us- get the eggplant chips! Trust me! Also has the best sangria in South Florida imo

    So as you can probably tell by my 3 Star rating, I was somewhat underwhelmed by our visit to Taberna Giralda. Everything was honestly just "Meh..." The food was a bit underseasoned, I felt. The portions have gotten A lot smaller (!) And prices have increased a fair amount. Service wasn't great either. I found we had to ask for almost everything- bread, drinks when ours were empty, more water, More bread, a menu, our bill... just no real proactively at all by the bartender (we sat at the bar) who was mostly talking with other staff, dancing or cleaning wine glasses. Anyway, the best part of our visit was the Flamenco show. They charge you $5/person, and it's more than worth it. Only on certain nights but worth inquiring. The guitarist has an amazing voice! The dancer is very good and the percussionist ties it all together well. They were very entertaining. Having said that, there are many better options for good Spanish food in Miami with tastier food, larger portions and better prices. Not sure we will be back.

    We came on a Saturday at 12:30 PM. There was only one other couple having lunch. We ordered the Boquerones, croquetas, tabla mixta and adobo. The sangria was amazing and I had the Estrella Damn. The servers were extremely nice. The food was off the charts. The Boquerones were a taste explosion! A must come back!!

Instead, we were sat at the smallest bar seating, which was completely inappropriate and not romantic at all for an occasion like Valentine's Day. As soon as we sat down, I politely asked if we could be moved. The manager then told me that I had booked bar seating, which is simply not true. Why would anyone reserve bar seating a month in advance for Valentine's Day? I checked my reservation confirmation myself and it never stated that, and I even tried making another reservation to verify ..bar seating wasn't even an option. He told us he would "see what he could do," and we were left waiting at the bar with no water, no menus, no service, and no communication whatsoever. Meanwhile, we watched multiple couples get seated at proper tables back-to-back. At one point, we even overheard another couple say their reservation was at the same time as ours, and they were seated at a table immediately. When I tried to politely ask for an update, the manager or owner completely ignored me. No acknowledgment, no apology, nothing. I was honestly in shock at how disrespectful and dismissive they were. We ended up getting up and leaving because of how uncomfortable and disrespected we felt. Valentine's Day is supposed to be special, and this restaurant completely ruined that experience.

There is also indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. There are many wines to choose from and they also have a decent menu with light bites. We opted for the Dino nuggets and caviar which were a hit, the fried olives and some meats and cheeses with some cornishons, fig jam and a sliced baguette.

The first location in the River is better imo because the location is bigger, there is plenty more seating than the Grove location. Although, I still enjoyed my time at this location as well. Sooo how it works is that you go inside and pick a bottle of wine from the fridges. You can also order by the glass if you aren't a big drinker or if you want to try different wines. The bottles are moderately priced depending on your selection. We chose an orange wine and it was nice, very refreshing, you can really get that citrus essence with every sip. Another thing that they have is that you can pick different cheeses and meats and they will build you a charcuterie board. I love this because it is all based on your selection, nothing will go to waste. They also have food you can order. A lot of people love the nuggets with caviar. I think they are decent imo but I'm not like in love with them. Parking can be a bit annoying... If there isn't street parking, you can also park in the garage.

    As others have stated, Magie is good in concept and we'll likely return here, but with just a bit…read moremore effort on their part this wine bar could be so much better IMO. Unlike some other reviewers that scoffed at the prices of the wine, that didn't bother me so much. We had a bottle here that cost $55 and it retails for about $28; I was OK with that, as all restaurants and wine bars have a markup above retail, and even when you go to spots like Happy Wine or El Carajo and pick out a bottle to drink while in their shop, they charge a corkage fee for that. What I did have a problem with is that, after the "service charge" and other fees were added on, our $55 bottle rang up to more than $73 in total, which was ludicrous. When we first arrived at Magie we were met by a young guy who pointed out the bottles and where the various charcuterie items are located in the coolers, and we were then pretty much left on our own. We really just wanted a glass of wine each, but unlike places like Vinoteca, here at Magie they had a very limited selection of wines by the glass, and the ones available all seemed to come in single-serve cans. We picked out a bottle to share, went to the register, paid and the guy opened it and handed us 2 glasses. When I returned to get napkins, the guy just motioned to where the napkins were so I could grab my own (after moving a delivery cart out of the way by myself so I could reach them). Again, though this place includes an automatic "service charge", we received zero actual "service" unless one considers the 45 seconds it takes to uncork our bottle and charge us for the purchase. We had a seat, had a glass of wine each and then re-corked our bottle of wine and took it with us. Overall I think Magie is a great concept with lots of potential. The inside seating area is interestingly decorated and outfitted with lots of eclectic furniture and items on the walls, and the relatively large patio seating out front with tables for 2 to 8 people is shielded from the adjacent street/traffic and shaded by lots of trees and greenery. The ambiance overall is really very nice. The service, however, was non-existent, especially considering the automatic charge for that, and while prices of at least some wines aren't terribly out of line, the fact that all the service charges, taxes and fees added $20 to the cost of our bottle was a bit of a shocker. Magie should consider adding more wines by the glass IMO. Not just subpar quality single-serve cans, but decent wines, poured from a proper bottle with a topper that preserves the wine between pours like most every quality wine bar commonly offers. Lastly, while I don't think anyone expects linen napkins and white glove service, the paper plates and plastic cutlery customers are given to eat with are a bit off vs. what this place appears to be trying to be and the prices charged. The "F*ck Brunch" positioning statement on the back of the staffs' shirts was an interesting touch.

We also got the Steak Frites & Chicken to share which was super tender, flavorful, and the fries were perfectly crispy, just how I love them. They were out of the yuca bravas, so we couldn't try these but they sound phenomenal. And we couldn't chose what desssert we wanted so we went with all three. The flourless chocolate cake with icecream, the key like tres leche and the guava tiramisu. Alll delicious !! And lastly , i have to highlight Thalia, our server. She was exceptional! Truly a five-star experience for our first visit. She handled our group of eight with ease, was always on top of refills without us having to ask, knew the menu inside and out, and gave amazing recommendations. She made the whole night even better. Can't wait to come back especially for lunch since she mentioned they have great lunch specials. This spot is definitely a new favorite,

I had hardly had two sips of wine when the small plate in which I was dipping insipid bread on olive oil was swished out from under me. However, other diners were not so choosy. The place was full on a Monday night that had if not thunderstorms heavy rains. I guess most people do not have discriminating palates.

    I was looking for a good Italian spot in the Gables and came across Salumeria 104. My friend and I…read moreusually go to the spot in Midtown but the service tonight made this my new favorite location. Everyone from the bartenders to the server, to the hostesses were all extremely lovely and accommodating. They were very hospitable and made sure that any request that we had would be attempted. We ordered the Swordfish special and Cacio E Pepe pasta. The pasta was good but the swordfish was really what was cooked to perfection! It was not too soft but not rubbery at all. I liked the lemon caper butter sauce as well. We also grabbed a burrata because...why not? It was also decadent and scrumptious despite it being a slightly small portion size but still adequate for two to share. We were also asked if we wanted any extra cheese on top of the pasta which we definitely obliged! The lighting was gorgeous on the patio and very romantic. It was a nice spot right in the heart of Coral Gables and the nice experience has me wanting to return so soon.

    Vinoteca is a small, cozy wine bar on Grand Avenue in Coconut Grove with a handful of indoor and…read moreoutdoor tables and about 1/2 dozen stools at the bar. They sell bottles of wine, imported olive oils, lots of (mostly European) wines by the glass, and light bites like charcuterie, small pizzas and popcorn. We've come here a few times, our dog was welcome, staff were friendly and outgoing, offering us various tabletop games like tic-tac-toe to pass the time, and once we'd both ordered a few glasses of wine, they offered us complimentary popcorn - something they normally charge for. Wines on their "by the glass" menu average about $16 each, and most staff pour them behind the bar where they have a gauge to measure out each one. The food prep area behind the bar is quite small (which is why they don't have a large menu), but so is this little gem of a wine spot in general. It's cozy, eclectic and great for a glass of wine and a small snack, or a nightcap after having dinner elsewhere. It's good for singles at the bar, or an intimate spot for couples and smaller groups. Vinoteca seems to have found their niche, and they've filled it quite nicely. That said, I'm not sure the staff, at least the ones working on the nights we've come, have a lot of knowledge about wines or are in the position to talk at length about their various selections.

We ordered our drinks- Prosecco, mimosas and the beer sangria. They were tasty. We shared the pan con tomate, the croquetas de jamon, las gambas, the papas bravas, the stuffed dates wrapped in bacon, the montaditos, and the albóndigas. All were delicious. For our entrees, we all had the huevos Bulla and it was really good. For dessert, we shared the churros con chocolate and the hazelnut waffles. Both were delicious.
