50 Best American Restaurants near Coconut Grove

“Food is life, Flanigan's is the best place to enjoy your life.“

“Andres was our server; he was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and patient. Overall the food was tasty, however the Yuca fries were only okay and my sea bass was a bit too thin/ small, though still quite flavorful. I enjoyed my time at this restaurant mainly due to the excellent service and the company I went with 😀“

“Good food and music!! Friendly atmosphere and staff. Always have a god time there.“

“Worth the five star rating. Happy hour 4-8 P.M. weekdays with $1.00 raw bar for oysters, clams shrimp. Fantastic view on marina. Half price drink menu. Killer She crab soup. The iguanas leisurely walking around made great entertainment for adults and youngsters of all ages. I did love this place and will be back. Google or Mapquest Monteys in Coconut Grove. You won’t be sorry“

“Great beer selection, nothing extravagant. Just local bar/ pub convenience. Only gripe , UM students tend go there, thus can get a little obnoxious“

“Very friendly staff and good atmosphere! We had the Cuban sandwich and avacado toast and some cold draft peroni beers! They were very accommodating to our needs and sat us away from a nice family with kids so we could have private adult conversation without disturbing them! ( it can be noisy on the beachfront cafes so you have to talk a bit louder!) overall very nice place!“

“Excellent food!!! Specifically nachos with guacamole is delicious!!! We also love Ceviche with big corns“

Being a fellow chef and restaurant owner all I can say is wow! The Hamachi should be a regular item. Hands down best dish and beautifully composed! Outstanding !“

“We had Chavely C. as a waitess, she was excellent, we can’t say enough greatness about her !“

“Friendly, comfortable and cozy this is another Blue Collar gem. I came for the happy hour 5-6:30 and had three items and a amber ale draft. Now that that’s done; I’m coming back for the regular menu. Clams casino, oysters on the half shell and seared scallops were absolutely the bomb! Try it!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Birdcage Café is a hidden gem in Miami, and it’s all thanks to the incredible duo, Rocio and Rodrigo. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel like family. Their warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care created an atmosphere that was both welcoming and unforgettable.

Rocio has a gift for hospitality—her energy lights up the café and she makes every guest feel special. Rodrigo’s passion shines through in every dish and drink; the flavors are thoughtful, balanced, and absolutely delicious. You can tell they pour their hearts into everything, from the beautiful presentation to the little personal touches that make the experience extraordinary.

What stood out most is how much love and pride they take in what they do. It’s rare to find a place where the food, service, and ambiance all come together so perfectly, but Rocio and Rodrigo have created exactly that. The Birdcage Café isn’t just a café—it’s an experience you’ll want to relive again and again.

If you’re in Miami and want to feel at home while enjoying food and drinks that will truly impress you, this is the spot. Rocio and Rodrigo are simply the best—thank you both for making our visit unforgettable!!!“

The food was outstanding, with each dish showcasing the chef’s creativity and skill. The lobster ravioli was especially delicious, with tender pasta and a rich, flavorful filling that balanced seafood freshness with a creamy sauce. Every bite was a delight, and I can’t wait to return for more. Highly recommended!“

She knows how to get the party started! Got everyone up and dancing! My mom had a blast with her! Thank you so much! I rarely go to South Beach but she’s definitely worth the trip!!! Thanks again!“

“Boia De is very special. Bold flavor with a delicate execution. The staff are humbly proud of their accomplishments and the Michelin Star is well deserved. The smoked muscles were delicious you need them. Steak tar-tar you must have. The gnocchi will change your life and the lamb could alter they ways of man & possibly change the world. No liquor needed here. Creative mixology with sake & Pilsner will make you happy. Desert a must… buy 2. Or 3.. Love from Mary & Peter“

“What a pleasant surprise Kitchen 57 was. I didn’t have any expectations coming in, but left super impressed. I’m not the biggest fan of American fare, but that changed after today! Each dish was different than the last and everything was phenomenal. The food was amazing, Sebastian, our server was just as amazing and the speed of service was phenomenal. I left STUFFED and I was happy about it. The cocktails and mocktails were amazing too. Check this place out asap!“

“I had heard about this hot restaurant from New York that I must try, but was reticent to do so because Carbone was the name of a character from Goodfellas that Robert Deniro's Jimmy Conway whacked when tying up loose ends after the Lufthansa job! Poor sap was hanging frozen in a meat locker. I'm glad I put that imagery aside because this place was amazing! Platitudes like wonderful ambience, fine service, flavorful food, great family style dining, are all applicable but just don't capture the full spirit of the evening. From the pickled cauliflower, to the signature spicy rigatoni ala vodka (which pairs nicely with their pinot noir offering Presqu'ile), to the Caesar salad (you must have those croutons!), and their delicious Italian petit-fours, everything burst with flavor and was resplendent of the authenticity of old Venice. And since you will be spending more than a few pennies here, one must luxuriate in the mid century environs replete with Murano glass chandeliers while being serenaded with a sound track of Italian crooners like Mel Torme and Frank Sinatra in the full bela canta tradition. If you have a special occasion, Carbones Miami Beach will make for a memorable evening.“

“We made Social our breakfast location each morning. Sara P., our waitress, was very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is delicious and the prices very reasonable!“

“Stopped in for a light breakfast and some coffee on June 17, 2025. Had a great server by the name of Richie S. He was prompt, polite and professional. The three p's that denotes a great employee. He was also patience and properly groomed, those are rare qualities in today's society. This made my dining experience exceptional, and I have always enjoyed stopping at Denny's when traveling. It also made my day, thanks to Richie and the entire staff of Denny's at 3600 Biscayne Blvd in Miami, Florida.“

“Had a wonderful night tonight! Loved the fact that Heather, the General Manager came over to speak to us. We watched her walk all around with a smile and stop and talk to every table. You know she is happy with her job by her great smile! We will be back“
