Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Coral Gables

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.

Restaurant was amazing, delicious food and great service.

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!

Visited for dinner on a Friday night. We had reservations and were seated quickly in their open air outdoor patio. The server, Maria, was wonderful. She was very thorough, explaining the menu and the special of the night which was a delicious risotto. We had a few dishes including the chaufa de pollo, pork belly bao buns, ceviche tradicional, and ceviche callejero. All were very good. We also had a couple of espresso martinis at just $7 each. Great food and service. Highly recommended.

The food was exquisite! The dates, the gnocchi, and the pavlova were to die for! Our server was very professional, made outstanding recommendations, and still made us laugh. The prices were pretty typical of the Gables, so, not cheap. But the quality of the food and service makes it worth the money. Will definitely be back!
