I was disappointed in this meal. They didn't ask about allergies but I had shellfish in my open table profile, which is where I made the reservation. They brought us the wrong dish which was lobster ravioli and my husband is allergic. We didn't realize what it was until we'd each taken a bite. It took awhile to get the correct dish. We split 3 things and they offered to plate it for each of us. When we got the bill, they'd charged us an extra $5 for each course that was split. I think that should have been communicated up front.

For sure the best restaurant in key Biscayne. Consistency y the secret. Great ambience, extraordinary attention and service, a great menu with real and different special dishes every day, a superb wine selection and the constant attention of the owner who is always around making sure that every detail is up to his personal standards consistently. Must ma a reservation. Enjoy !!!

Excellent ceviche! Fish was fresh and delicious. Octopus carpaccio was also very good. Nice ambience in outdoor seating, considering it is strip mall, they did a good job with plants. Would definitely go back.

Finding a reservation for nine friends is always a trick. Finding a menu of that makes everyone delighted is even more difficult. COSTA MED hit the target on both. The food was fabulous. Absolutely loved the Mediterranean flare on everything from appetizers to deserts. I personally enjoyed the octopus appetizer and an Eiffel Tower salad could not have been happier. Fabulous wine list. Our server, Sol, attended to our every need and provided expert recommendations to address dietary needs for us all. Everyone was delighted with the experience!

Salmon was undercooked. We wanted to share and have the food plated in four plates as they have done before and that wasn't done. It was difficult to servers attention. Usually a decent restaurant

I've been going for years and this is the first time I have been even a little dissatisfied. Server messed up timing of items, lamb chops were a little disappointing...price raise significantly and just 3 and not very large or thick and just ONE little piece of broccolini. Bronzino was excellent but served with JUST three asparagus.

This is the best restaurant in the Key. The food is always perfectly seasoned, the deserts are sublime and the service is so welcoming and kind. 100% recommended to go celebrate a special occasion or just eat fine food.

Our visit today was for lunch. We were seated and presented with the menu, the wine list and the specials of the day ( there are different specials every day ) . The wine list merits review every time because it evolves constantly and there are new wonderful wines added constantly. We were three and there were three specials we each selected one and were totally impressed by the quality and presentation, together with the wine recomended by the house, all and all , it was a memorable experience. An extraordinary restaurant !!!

The best ceviche I've ever had. The avocado burrata salad was amazing, fresh, full of wonderful flavors. Our server was delightful and recommended a marvelous wine, Aptitude. The Oso buco fell off the bone it was so tender and flavorful. Last but not least, the crab ravioli was an explosion of flavor in every bite. Cannot wait to go back!

The food here was amazing! I had the lobster ravioli and my husband had the veal. Generous portions and fresh! We ate outside since the outside temp was perfect. The setting is on the outside of a strip mall however, the umbrellas and plants give it a nice ambience.

We returned for the second time in four days and it was just as good as the first time. We had Maya as our server again and she was excellent. We had the grilled octopus which was exceptionally tender and had a great presentation. For main course I had the short ribs and my Mom had the branzino and both were excellent. We were celebrating my mom's birthday and they brought a dessert with a sparkler which was so fun and sweet. We can't wait to return!

Costa Med is one of our favorite restaurants in Miami. Our guests and we had an excellent dinner experience. The grilled chipirones were fantastic and the burrata & prosciutto as good as always. All our appetizers were delicious too: branzino Greek style; grilled salmon with parmesan risotto, and aragosta fra diavolo. The goat cheese cheesecake is highly recommended. The Marlborough Ssuvignon blanc was a nice complement. All our courses were served in a timely way by very courteous waiters and waitresses.)
Beautiful Location in Coral Gables. Very Family oriented which I love it. Everyone very well dress coming for Lunch after church service. Quality of Food is Amazing. Service is outstanding. Love coming on Sunday!
