Best Fusion Restaurants in Coconut Grove

Incredible Service at Nikki Beach! We had an amazing experience at Nikki Beach, and a huge part of that was thanks to Gabriel! From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, sociable, and genuinely kind. His great sense of humor and friendly personality made our visit even more enjoyable. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and his positive energy was truly contagious. Gabriel is the kind of server who makes a lasting impression, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend asking for him if you visit—he’s the best!

Great date night and cheap drinks. The performers for each show are different each time which could be the difference in your experience. But ultimately a good vibe for a date night or a lowkey friends outing

Went for Valentine’s Day. Was seated right on time for the reservation. Service was great. Loved the dresser treat at the end of the meal. Such a nice touch.

Waitress could’ve been more attentive she was distracted flirting with a gentlemen. Guys at the bar are amazing. Food was ok could’ve been better.

Kao is an underrated spot in Coral Gables. Many restaurants pop up and last a year or 2. Kao has persevered without sacrificing quality and service. My husband and I had not been in since Covid. We were in the Gables and decided to revisit the place and it did not disappoint. We like many things about Kao: the diverse menu options, all of which were delicious, excellent service from our thoughtful server Helen, excellent cocktails, ambiance is fun and creative and they turn into a club on the weekend. My husband and I ordered the Braised Lamb Shank which was super tender and flavorful after being stewed over 5 hours. The mixed vegetables were delicious as well. Our friends had the grilled octopus which was tender and delicious and the Flap Steak which was tender and tasty. We started with a sausage appetizer and the sausage was spicy and tasty. We also each had an empanada of a different flavor. They were crispy and tasty. For dessert, we shared the brownie sunday and the choc chip cookie sunday which were both delicious. We recommend Kao highly and hope you will give it a try. Debbie & Darin S
