15 Best Cocktail Bars in Coral Gables

“Excellent menu and excellent service“

“First time dining here and the food was excellent. Service was exceptional all staff was friendly and welcoming. The manager greeted us when we arrived and when we left. The Chef runs the quietest kitchen I have ever seen. Oversaw every plate going out and the quality of the food reflects his commitment to excellence. We will definitely return.“

“Excellent service, extremely delicious roast puyaso“

“Last night I celebrated my birthday at Bouchon Bistro, one of my favorites in the Gables. I've been here countless times for happy hour and dinner, and even celebrated an anniversary here a few years ago, but last night was so very special.

Huge thank you to Natalie for helping organize everything, to our wonderful waitress Wendy, and to the entire team who made the evening feel so easy, warm and magical. The service was outstanding, the food was incredible as always, and the whole space has that perfect elegant but laid-back vibe.

Definitely one of the best spots in the Gables. Highly recommend.“

“Costa Azul was a great experience. The ceviche was incredibly fresh, with the perfect balance of acidity and flavor. Everything we tried was delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into the food. Definitely a place we would come back to! Gracias Enrique y a todos“

“Beautiful restaurant with an incredible fine dining experience. The service was outstanding. Will definitely return.“

“Ask for Carlos at the bar. He is a class act. I appreciate the fact that the business has been around for eighty (80) years. Holy moly! I appreciate the people who go every Tuesday for Karaoke. I love the vibe! I look forward to go every Tuesday to enjoy, have a great time. The lemon pepper wings are dangerously delicious. I peel them off though (that’s a personal choice).“

“It's a beautiful environment. The servers are skilled and friendly. The menu is a bit limited and unadventurous, but the food itself is quite good and the portions are large (if you're with kids younger than teenage have them split a sandwich). Prices are reasonable, in the Hilton/Marriott range (i.e., a lot less than what we expected given the luxurious nature of the place).“

“Celebrated my son’s 18th birthday at this restaurant and everything was impeccable. They were all so accommodating to my party of 25, even though they had many events going on at the same time, graduations and so forth. I would come here again and again. Our night was perfect! Thank you!“

“The place is nice and conveniently located inside the store, making it a good spot to take a break while shopping.

The staff is friendly and always tries their best to help. However, the service can be quite slow once you’re seated, especially when you’re waiting for someone to check on you or bring the bill. I’m not sure if it’s because they have a lot of tables to manage, but I definitely recommend coming when you’re not in a rush.

As for the drinks, my favorites so far are the Hugo Spritz and Aperol Spritz. I also tried their lemonade once and it was delicious. And surprisingly, their coffee is really, really good!

I’ve tried the burger, mac and cheese, tacos, and several other items from the menu. The food is okay — nothing particularly amazing, but definitely enjoyable.

Overall, it’s a nice place to sit down, relax with a drink, and recharge in the middle of your shopping. Just make sure you have a little extra time to spare.“

“I love this place so much. My absolute dream bar. Ambiance is from my dreams and add Jose, who is an artistic mixologist and a wonderful Man and you have perfection in book. I try to visit my Son and Daughter in Law, who live down here, often and I never fail to visit Brandi’s at the Biltmore a few times while here.“
