Best Cosy Restaurants in Glenvar Heights

We had a wonderful dinner last night at Koko. I had a mole with short ribs that was excellent and my husband had the sea bass tacos he devoured. Mathias was our server and did a great job. We have a few more nights in Coconut Grove and will be going back. Thanks, Koko, for a great evening!

A hidden gem in the Gables. From the second you walk in the staff is very nice and friendly. They are very accommodating with the menu and making alterations. The food is absolutely delicious. We got the lamb chops and I will say they were the best I have ever had. Will be returning.

Outstanding jazz club! While the limited menu and quality of food could be improved this cute restaurant/club has wonderful ambiance, outstanding service (thank you Alexander), and of course enjoyable jazz. The owner has put his personal touch on this space with so many shelves of knick knacks, artwork, figurines, posters, and amazing chandeliers to set the mood. The jazz threesome was wonderful and not too loud for the small space. Definitely coming back.

This was one of the best experiences that we have had in a very long time. My wife and I have multiple Michelin stars under our belts and The Collab is on par with most Michelin starred restaurants. Our favorite place to get a steak in Miami is Beauty and the Butcher, everyone rated The Collab’s ribeye better than B&TB. When our server, Jose, recommended the chicken appetizer everyone at the table considered that an odd recommendation. Once we tried it, we immediately ordered another order. I could write a full page describing the food and drinks, it was that amazing! Jose’s service exceeded every standard I’ve seen in Miami, but more importantly, every server, manager, and runner in the restaurant treated our table like we were their most important table in the restaurant. We highly recommend The Collab and can’t wait to get back!

Service was fantastic. Above and beyond. Ambience was enjoyable. Meal quality varied widely. The salmon penne had an alla vodka cream sauce that literally tasted as if a shot of vodka was dumped in at the end and there was no more than 3 oz of salmon. A creme brule was brought carmelized and like soup underneath and was promptly replaced with apologies. A shrimp pasta in sauce with linguine came with shrimp still with tails. Others liked their meals (lamb, steak, and mushrooms).
