Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Downtown Miami

The food was amazing and the service was awesome from the greeting to the goodbye. I would definitely recommend and come back the next time I visit Miami.

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!

Excellent overall, though quite pricey when you factor in wine (many bottles $600 and up) and service charges. We had the 6-course seasonal menu. 2 of the items were phenomenal; 4 were excellent. We went for the optional 7th course (gnocchi with truffle), which was quite a disappointment in terms of consistency and flavor. We were surprised to find it was a $55/person up-charge

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!

Service was outstanding and the food was delicious! Decor was impeccable.
