June 25, 2020 Merry Kessler

Reviews on Mediterranean food in Coral Gables, Florida, United States. Boasting almost exclusively Mediterranean Revivalist buildings and urban planning following the City Beautiful movement, Coral Gables is an elegantly laid out, pedestrian-friendly city boasting tropical foliage, charming boutiques and architectural grandeur. Historic landmarks such as the Biltmore Hotel and Merrick House provide a document of the history of the City Beautiful, while the crystalline Venetian Pool provides relaxation in a setting of exquisite beauty.

Madrid Tapas y Vinos

Reviewed By guillermopeter

We came with decent expectations given the positive reviews. Well...starting with service, it invited us not come back. Boquerones and initial ration of baguette were really good what came after was not. We ordered additional bread and remind waitress for third time but ended up getting something much different and closer to a just unfrozen dough. The montaditos and tostadas came on a flat bread similar to a hamburger bun. And the check came charging a full bottle of wine instead of a glass of wine. I am not going back.

Strada in the Grove

Strada in the Grove is a corner of Coconut Grove where customers will experience authentic old world flavors and traditions, while merging themselves in a vintage yet contemporary ambiance. Our concept blends classic Italian food with regional recipes.

It met my expectations for an Italian restaurant in the Grove. I loved the attractive contemporary setting. Food ranged from good to excellent. The carpaccio strata and ravoli D'Aragosta were excellent. They had a nice wine by the glass selection (which is not always the case). In any Miami setting you are always at the whim of fate and individual expectations with regards to quality of service. We had very good service and yet we were able to take our time to enjoy the meal and not be rushed. We had a lovely dinner and evening capped off with a stroll through the Grove.

Sawa Restaurant & Lounge

The restaurant features an exciting dining concept that merges innovative sushi and a contemporary Mediterranean Fusion Menu, with a hip, chic, modern design and an upbeat lounge-like & Hookah Bar atmosphere.

I went to have dinner with some friends and we had reservations. It could’ve not gone worst. We waited for our waiter for 10 minutes to even acknowledge us. I ordered a soup, they had no soup, ordered a roll that had sweet plantains, no sweet plantains( in Miami is impossible not to have sweet plantains). At the end 2 glasses of wine, edamames, dumplings and 2 rolls = $90.The waiter even apologized for the service and the delays. The food wasn’t bad but we just wanted to leave. There are so many good restaurants in Miami, you can skip this one.The worst part is that the place and the atmosphere are amazing. Next...

Old Lisbon Restaurant

Reviewed By MorellaUV

We were 5 friends having dinner who decided to share several dishes. We tried the clams appetizer, the seafood rice, the eggplant with potatoes and the shredded codfish prepared with fries.The flavor of the clams was a-m-a-z-i-n-g! Can’t stress that enough. Perfect pairing with the warm bread they serve. Clams alone are worth the visit.The seafood rice was pretty good. If you’re accustomed to the Spanish paella it is not the same azafrán-based flavor, but it is very good nonetheless. Plenty of seafood in it: mussels, squid, shrimp and even lobster.The eggplant comes with a side order of perfectly baked potatoes squares. Unique combination; we liked it too.For dessert we shared a meringue...can’t remember the exact name but it is not to be missed. What a nice surprise of flavor and lightness.The Portuguese beer was good too. Less alcohol than usual, which we particularly liked.

This charming restuarant is nestled between the library in Coconut Grove and a Hotel. We ordered shrimp, scallops, sea bass, and organic chicken as additions to salads. All excellent and more like a side salad with entree Monday’s is half price wine so we enjoyed our meal even more!Great for private parties or to take out of town visitors.

Reviewed By Beatrice B

Fun, lively, and delicious Italian restaurant. We were just introduced to the chef who is ironically from San Sebastián, Spain. We had the Bronzino, a cheesy pasta dish served in hollowed cheese shell, lobster pasta dish, and and Iberian ham, Parmesan cheese, dark olives and honey appetizer. All were exquisitely presented and tasted amazing. We finished our meal sharing a classic tiramisu dessert drenched in lemon cello and fresh fruit.

In my opinion this place is average because the portions for the tapas are not generous and it is very loud, hence the name "bulla"...Having said that, every time I drive by the restaurant is always packed with customers having a good time.

At Bulla we value the opinion of our guests, please share with us your telephone number, we would love to have the opportunity to reach out to you to get more of your suggestions.Looking forward to your kind communication,Elizabeth [email protected]
