The conch fritters did leave much to be desired. They were full of conch and fried well, the taste just wasn't there.

You do have to walk through a gauntlet of beautiful young people in their speedos and bikinis by the pool but on the other side is a delicious food and drink menu. Maybe I was really hungry after a long travel day but The ceviche and crudo were among the best I've ever had. The cocktails were fresh and creative. The coconut cake dessert was incredible. Best of all was the service... calm, timely and efficient. We arrived at 3pm on a Friday. I can imagine it being quite a scene during peak hours so plan accordingly.

I took advantage of their 4 course $60 dinner special (not listed on their website but offered every day, including weekends) and went with the Caesar Salad, 14 oz skirt steak, fries and flan. Each dish was very good, the steak was cooked a perfect medium rare, the fries were crispy and good, and the flan was probably the best I've ever had. I enjoyed a very good glass of Malbec reserve with my meal. La Cabrera also offers a $39 lunch special. Ambiance was charming and the service was also very good. Far superior choice, food wise, to Chop.

After enjoying a fantastic dinner here back in January for my wife's birthday, it felt only right…read moreto return to La Cabrera Coconut Grove in August to bring my wife's father for a Miami Spice Lunch outing. A restaurant that still comes to mind months later is usually doing something right, and this visit confirmed what we loved about our first experience. We made reservations without any issues a couple of days before. The restaurant was clean, bright, and had not filled up yet with the busy Sunday family crowd. Upon being seated, we were provided with the regular menu and the Miami Spice Lunch menu. The Miami Spice Lunch, which has now become a daily Executive Lunch special, is a standout value. The portion sizes and the quality of the Argentinian steaks speak for themselves. As a group, here's what we ordered: Starters - Ham and Cheese Empanadas - Morcilla - Grilled Provolone Each starter delivered exactly what you'd expect from an Argentinian steakhouse. The empanadas were warm and flaky, the morcilla was rich and well seasoned, and the grilled provolone came out bubbling and perfect for sharing amongst our table with the restaurant's complementary bread basket. Entrée: - New York Strip Steak, 12 oz This was the only cut of steak we ordered. It was cooked to each of our desired temperatures and seasoned simply, letting the quality of the beef speak for itself. It is clear why La Cabrera has a reputation as one of Latin America's best restaurants. Sauces on the side, which included a BBQ sauce, and a chimichurri, were left for our choosing and were used for the side dishes more than anything. Sides: - French Fries - Jasmine Rice Both sides complemented the steak well. The fries were crispy and large in size. My father-in-law, a cuban man who's very serious about his rice dishes, thought the jasmine rice was very good. Dessert: - Dulce de Leche Ice Cream with Cone - Dulce de Leche Pancakes The ice cream was smooth and rich, while the pancakes were finished with a sugary powder coating that was impossible to resist. This lunch reinforced why La Cabrera continues to be stand out in a crowded field of steakhouses. Between the consistency, generous portions, and the value of their daily menu specials, it's an easy recommendation whether you're bringing family, hosting someone from out of town, or simply looking for a great lunch in Coconut Grove.

From the moment I walked in, the energy was electric, the space was stunning, and the food... absolutely unforgettable. But the real star of the night? My waitress, Nicole. Let me tell you--Nicole was the BOMB DOT COM. She didn't just serve the table; she elevated and Slayed the entire experience. Attentive without hovering, warm without being over the top, and she knew the menu like she wrote it herself. Every recommendation she made was spot-on, and her timing was flawless. You can tell she genuinely cares about making your night special. The dishes were rich, bold, and beautifully executed--classic Carbone excellence--but Nicole's service is what made the evening truly exceptional. If you go (and you should), ask for Nicole. She's the kind of server who turns a great dinner into a memorable one.

Coconut Grove definitely benefits from a roof top bar. I think clients agree as it was packed. I came for their happy hour or as they call it Sunset Hour.

One of their cocktails - called Purple Sky. This is their description - ketel one vodka, st-germain, lime, lavender, fee foam. Verdict - looked really pretty, and I enjoyed it. I will most certainly be coming back to sample more.

I love how a cocktail bar has a carafe of water ready for you with two short glasses it was perfection and in my opinion, a great attention to detail. Now the bartender this guy is on point. I've never seen a cocktail be shook with such intention. Everything he (Tom) was making looked perfect and I definitely hope to come back and try some more perhaps a whiskey sour? The place is tiny, but so charming the lighting is perfect. The barstools are so chic. It's just super inviting and it's the perfect little neighborhood bar. Something that Coconut Grove has been missing for a long time. The hype is worth it. The music is amazing. A definite must visit. This crew got it right!!! Xoxo

I walked in and it was everything I wanted it to be! Small, intimate, low lighting, bar stools, fastidious bartender who heard you and honored exactly what you said! A few intimate booths that were already full; my girlfriend was sitting at the bar holding me a seat. She could tell by my smiling my face I loved it from the minute I walked in. Didn't say I was welcomed when I walked in the door! The bartender looked up and said (with volume and gusto) "Welcome to Mae's!" Now, I Am grinning! I told the bartender I wanted a Hendrick's martini, straight up, very, very, very cold; no vermouth, olives and a lime! When I tell you it was cold, it was my 3 very colds! Perfect! Now I am very, very happy! Mae's lived up to its word: it's all about the Art of the Classic Cocktail! There is no food at Mae's but they have a great arrangement with Chugs! We checked in with the bartender and he suggested we order the OG burger. Chug's offers a limited Menu at Mae's; I'm sure there might not have been 10 Items on their list. You order, you get a text, you go next door To the window and pick up your "snack." Know that you are not going to have a giant burger with the works; our OG had a patty, shredded lettuce, pickles with their sauce on a great bun $9.95; and we ordered fries which we shared. Honestly, it was damn good! The downside: I will probably not Darken Mae's door anytime soon on a Friday night. The Music was so damn loud we could not hold a conversation! A lady on the other side of the bar was covering her ears! They got up and left! Her seatmate (husband/date) saw me holding my ears, came over and said this is a great bar, try coming on a weeknight, it's much calmer. Well, I may try it again, definitely on a week night! Mae's definitely has that "old school" charm but definitely not my taste in music! I wanted a little jazz, softer sounds where we could Actually hold a conversation over fabulous Cocktails. This was not the night. We left after one drink; with a 20% tip on 2 drinks, my bill was a tad over $34; which I claim reasonable. I will let you know when I go back!

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.
