Best Casual Restaurants in Coconut Grove

The restaurant is beautiful! We loved every plate we ordered from the tasty guac with the fresh blue tortilla chips made in house, to the queso frito with chorizo and perfectly paired sauces. I highly recommend the tequila passion fruit margarita! It’s delicious & refreshing!🍹 The pressed carnita tacos topped with chicharrones are out of this world good. 😋 Not to mention the flan & cappuccino to finish off a perfect unexpected meal. The wonderful, friendly service & ambience is the cherry on top of an already amazing experience!!! Everyone should try Koko and invite some friends to do the same!! 🌮🫓🥑🍮☕️❤️‍🔥Needless to say we’ll be back again soon! Thank You & our complaints to the chefs!!👨🏻‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳

Hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. But what truly made the evening unforgettable was our server, Maria. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, from her warm welcome to her impeccable attention to detail. Maria’s knowledge of the menu, thoughtful recommendations, and genuine kindness made us feel so special. If you’re looking for amazing food and top-notch service, this is the place to be. Thank you, Maria, for making our night extraordinary!

I want to start by saying that I am a regular customer at this Fogo de Chão location, as it’s conveniently close to my office. We chose this place to celebrate my son’s birthday, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision. The reservation process through OpenTable was seamless. We arrived two minutes early, and our table was ready as soon as we got there. Our waiter, Sean, promptly introduced himself and walked us through all the menu options. With so many choices available, and since there were six of us, we probably tried everything! Every dish was perfectly cooked, and the care and enthusiasm the staff showed in serving us were truly remarkable. A special shoutout goes to Mr. Marcone, who went above and beyond to make my son’s birthday memorable. He spent time with my son, sharing stories about his life in Brazil and his soccer experiences. That personal touch added so much warmth to the evening. To top it all off, the staff surprised my son with a complimentary dessert, allowing us to sing “Happy Birthday” and make the moment even more special. This restaurant, along with Sean and Mr. Marcone , deserves more than five stars. Thank you for creating such a remarkable experience for our family!

Great place for families. The food was delicious and the environment was very pleasant. The fact that it’s adjacent to a nice park and within walking distance of the Grove makes it an ideal place for lunch or dinner.

Best dining experience we had the entire Miami trip! Heard about this place from a Randy Santel video from years ago and had to try it. I called the day before to see if they would mind us having luggage because we were heading straight to the airport afterward and Adrian, I hope I’m remembering correctly, couldn’t have been more accommodating. He remembered me calling the day before and was, by far, the best waiter we’ve ever had in Miami or anywhere else. The food was amazing! Appetizers, sides, and steaks cooked to perfection! Atmosphere is great! I’d fly back to Miami just to eat at The Wagyu Bar again! 1000 out of 10!
