Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Village of Key Biscayne

We went to Koko for a late lunch, and it was an amazing experience! The weather was fantastic, making the outdoor seating the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing meal. We started with the guacamole, which was good—nothing extraordinary—but the big, round chips it came with were a nice touch. The short ribs tacos were exceptional, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The highlight of the meal was definitely the sea bass with green mole—a dish that was both unique and absolutely delicious. For dessert, we tried the flan, which was soft, not too sweet, and a perfect pairing with a cortadito. For drinks, we ordered a passion fruit margarita and a tamarindo margarita, both refreshing and well-made. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and the food was served quickly, which added to the overall experience. The combination of great food, fantastic weather, and a comfortable outdoor setting made for a memorable afternoon. I’ll definitely be back to try more!

We had a pleasant experience at this pizza joint. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and made sure to check on us and refill waters. He also made recommendations from the menu and listened to all of my child’s special requests. We had both bruschettas, and they were fantastic. Thank goodness for bruschetta that isn’t on an overly toasted piece of bread that makes it impossible to eat. The ciabatta was perfectly toasted, and the tomatoes were fresh and well seasoned. Our burrata pizza was equally satisfying, and my son inhaled his pasta. The cocktails were good too. We would definitely dine here again.

They ran out of the seasonal dessert which was recommended to us by the waitress. Then they ran out of coffee beans for a simple coffee. The steak and tortellini was overhyped and didn’t live up to the vivid menu/waitress description. Tasted more like a mushroom sauce rather than the black truffle sauce. The new salmon sushi was pretty good but the rice wasn’t sticky rice and it fell apart. Overall not bad but could be better.

Simply Exceptional! From the service to the amazing food and ambiance! Completely loved it! Top 3 restaurant in Miami for sure! Ordered almost all the drinks in the cocktail list all of them delicious. The escargot is the best in Miami, the filet with the chimichurri sauce was incredible with the most delicious gratin potato’s(probably the best I’ve had). The gnocchis were amazing, the cheesecake was the best I’ve had! Overall 10/10 experiences will be back and definitely trying the happy hour!

I went to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday and the first impression of the restaurant was amazing, the hostess was very attentive, the waiter was really good too, he explained the meals to us, since I couldn't eat seafood or spicy food and his attention was very professional, as for the meals, I was amazed, since the beef welligton was really soft and a pleasure to the palate, the salmon had a good flavor, the beef tartar was delicious and the chocolate dessert was delicious. This restaurant really is an unforgettable experience. Thank you.
