We chose this spot because it was on the InKind app. There's a beautiful floral Instagrammable spot in front of the restaurant. When you walk in, the aesthetics is so dang nice. Big industrial space with a modern feel. Stunning pastries that are too pretty to eat. Service was wonderful and our server Enrique went above and beyond. This is everything we ordered: * Mezze Platter * Chilaquiles * Crab Benedict * Bachour Cuban Sandwich * Steak Sandwich * Matcha Latte * Chai Latte Everything was quite delicious. Mezze Platter was a nice starter for our table. The Steak Sandwich was the was a favorite. Chilaquiles could have been better. Cuban Sandwich on point. Crab Benedict was perfection. After brunch, I got some pastries to take home for the family. We had a wonderful brunch all in all. Love the food, coffee, pastries, service and ambiance. Bonus was the InKind app and discount of $25 off $75. Really enjoyed my brunch experience so much that I decided to take my sis here, she was visiting from out of town. And I used my InKind once again. Yessssss!!!

The texture was amazing, and every bite had so much flavor. The rose was probably my favorite. They are definitely on the pricier side for pastries, but Bachour is such a well-known spot and you can tell there's a lot of attention to detail in what they make. The inside is also gorgeous, so it's a great place to stop by, grab a pastry, and enjoy the atmosphere. Definitely recommend trying it if you're in Coral Gables!

Very good experience here yesterday…read more All around very healthy and big portions. This place reminds me a lot of Dig Inn in Boston and NYC. The thing that impressed me the most are the employees. All maintained eye contact and were genuinely friendly and helpful in helping me place my order. A real rarity in the quick-serve restaurant business. I ordered the local farmer plate and requested chicken breast. I noticed there was an upcharge, but was not told there would be one, which i found a little surprising as this is typically more common/popular than dark meat. Other than that, I am a satisfied customer. Big portions, healthy food at a good price. That's a rarity in Miami and hard to beat.

I went here with a big group the other day. I actually didn't eat much but I did have a glass of…read moresangria (which was nice and big!) and the buratta appetizer. I couldn't get any pictures because my phone was charging. Somehow I arrived with a very low battery on my phone, and our server was kind enough to charge the phone for me using his/ their charger. But the buratta was delicious. A lot of people I was with had burgers which looked and smelled good - especially the fries! (Both the regular and the sweet potato fries). This was a small place but with a nice ambiance, located right in the cobblestone area off the road where lots of other restaurants are (I don't know what the area is called). I had been to the Coconut Grove Craft location, and I definitely liked the location and ambiance of this one better.

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.

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 am here to update my review specifically for happy hour as I have been coming pretty regularly to…read morehappy hour as of late. I love a good happy hour - especially on the weekend. The vibes at the bar are always high - and the team behind the bar is excellent. They have glasses of wine for $10, and select cocktails on HH as well. If you're hungry, there's a good assortment of snacks to choose from as well. I really love the fries, burrata, potato rolls, and brussel sprout Caesar. What I love most about this happy hour is that it is available until 7 pm. If you're looking for a spot where the bar is full of regulars and the team is always friendly, this is your vibe. And while not on happy hour, the dirty martinis are divine.

It was a very hot day so we appreciated being able get seats inside the restaurant. I had a bellini. It was good and wasn't very sweet like some of them can be. It also tasted a little flat but I think it's because they use a sparkling wine instead of prosecco, possibly. I had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was very flavor and juicy. I actually thought it was going to be white meat but it was dark meat and really good. I didn't care for the waffle. It had a flavor and cream that I did not like. Nice ambiance and the entire staff was great; very helpful and accommodating.

They recently extended the happy hour from 6pm to 7pm which I'm glad!! Now the food - I have never had a bad item from here. I will forever talk about their bacon wrapped dates (not pictured). And this trip I absolutely fell in love with the spinach cheese dip. My one complaint is why does it only come with three toasties? I had to ask for more, which they gladly accommodated me - and the same with the guys next to me. But if you're bringing me a whole bowl of deliciousness, I need more than three toasties with it!!!

Turned out to be a good call. While I was woefully overdressed ( t shirt and shirts as I just came off a transcontinental flight) for such a fancy bar in Coral Gables on. Friday night, staff was polite and welcoming. Was treated with respect and courtesy despite looking very WT. Traveling with food allergies is a challenge. The Kitchen was extremely accommodating and was able to modify my food to my allergies and preferences. I ordered the Chocolate Carajillo. Probably not the smartest thing to order a drink with two shots os Espresso at 10:40p but it soup def to tasty and it was! Plus the little chocolate that came with it!! Yum! If they sold those bars... I got the watermelon salad minus a bunch for f stuff: basically just watermelon, cucumber and feta. Thick clucks of cucumber, tasty watermelon chunks and hunks of feta. Yes, please! For protein I went with the double cheeseburger minus the bun and mayo and without the side order of fries = gluten free. They have a GF bun but I rarely eat a bun. It was a double pressed patty that was freshly made not cooked earlier and rewarded, so hit that the cheese was melting. Always a good sign. Delicious! Great service from Crystal and Ashley - my water glass was constantly filled without me having to ask. 18% gratuity automatically added to bill. Seems to be standard for all Coral Gables and Mismibhoteks (some add 20%). Had breakfast here. Different servers and hostess as well as different vibe and service despite an empty restaurant. Had I not eaten here last night my review would be a 3 based breakfast service. I had to get someone and ask for my water glass to be refilled. There are limited gluten free options but they do have GF bread do was able to have the croissant sandwich but with gf bread. I'd get this again. I also got the Greek Yogurt. Tasty but you need honey and it's a big portion so easily shareable. It was a lot of good for you be person do I didn't order anything else. Already deleted those photos do guess I have to stay here again I would totally eat here again.

This is pretty common for South Florida, but usually they'll let you know that it's included , and if you'd like to leave an extra tip, this is where you do it, or at least on that same page they will add by tip area that says ( add'l Tip).. And that's fair, but this place did not do either. And they also charge me $27 for a wine that I didn't order. The one I ordered was $20, so they had to do a charge back and new charge.. ( yeah real classy experience..not) and lastly, I ordered " bread" and they brought me this dish that was like $18 with all these side spreads with bread. We didn't have the menus at that point any longer, so it would've been nice for them to mention what their Bread included. It was like a whole Nother dish. So this is a real turn off, and we won't head back. Some of these restaurants think everyone's a tourist, but we're locals.. but this should never be done. Shame on the management / Owners for allowing this the servers to do this No one likes to feel hustled like that. The funny thing is that I'll normally leave 25% Tip,.. so in the end ..they're loss.

I dined here on a Thursday night. I was told that Wednesdays and Thursdays have a limited menu and on the weekends the menu is coursed options only. I don't normally love coursed meals, but I feel like this is the place to do it because everything we tried on that Thursday night was DELICIOUS. First off, they did such a nice job with the space. It's colorful, well lit, and inviting. The wine list also has excellent options and the waitress isn't trying to force you into the most expensive items. The wait staff are cordial and helpful and the Chef is humble and sweet in his explanation of the dishes. For wine, we got the bottle of tempranillo and it was delicious. We started with the focaccia and ricotta and honey. Honestly, it was the best honey I have ever tasted. They even told me where to buy it on my own if interested. Everything is freshly sourced from local farms and it shows. We also had the steak tartare that came with the blueberry capers. Those were a little weird for me but my friend loved them. We also had those delicious scallops that I believe were poached in wagyu fat. I don't even like scallops normally but they were exquisitely prepared. For entrees we had the boniato pasta and the cod. Both were deliciously prepared and I will definitely order again. But that boniato pasta that was sort of like a tortellini filled with boniato and topped with like a foam of citrus flavors- was easily one of the best pastas I have ever eaten in my life. The dish is creative yet light but absolutely delicious. This dish belongs on the show "best thing I ever ate". For dessert, we tried the lemon dessert that was light and airy and not overly bitter or citrusy. We also got the brownie dessert that was one of the most delicious desserts I have ever tasted. My friend and I fought over not one- but two portions of that dessert. Can't wait to go back for the tasting menu and friendly service!

That sandwich absolutely delivered. The bread was fresh and soft, the chicken was perfectly crispy and not too "chickeny" at all (IYKYK). Easily one of my new favorite chicken sandwiches. My friend and I also shared the deviled eggs, fries, and creamed corn - all of them slapped. She ordered the caesar salad, which she loved. I tried a few bites and felt it had an unexpected umami, almost Asian-inspired twist. It was definitely unique, just not my personal favorite. We grabbed seats at the bar and the service was top-tier. Every bartender and server was super warm and attentive. While we were there, you could tell regulars kept popping in and greeting the staff by name, which I think really says something about the place. You can tell Hillstone has built a loyal following and I think it's for good reason. Safe to say this won't be my last visit!

She refused to show us the bill and told us, "No, it is not." However, my husband became suspicious because the bill seemed unusually high, so he only left a $4 tip. After we repeatedly asked for the bill, she finally brought it over while apologizing and, unsurprisingly, we discovered that gratuity had already been added, causing us to pay extra for tips. We didn't want to be petty and just left but she did not even serve us water. The person who brought out our food was the one who asked whether we wanted water and brought it to us. As someone who has worked in hospitality for years, this is completely unacceptable.
