Navé - Coconut Grove

The restaurant is quite overpriced for what it offers, and the quality varies significantly between different dishes. However, the service is excellent!

We dined there for New Year's Eve and the prix fixe menu offered a great selection of delicious options for everyone. Our only issue was with the cocktails we ordered before dinner; they took a long time to arrive and ultimately sat on our table for quite a while after we placed the order. It seemed like there was only one bartender for the entire restaurant on such a busy night. On the bright side, the food was excellent, and the bottles of wine were served promptly!

This restaurant offers fantastic food. Looking back, we probably should have dined indoors, as the service seemed better there. The snapper and grouper dishes were absolutely excellent—cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. While the restaurant is somewhat on the expensive side, I believe the quality of the food justifies the price. I would recommend it, but I think dining inside might provide a better experience.

Our party of four arrived at the restaurant and we requested to be seated at a table by the entrance (table for four) and the host indicated that table was reserved.The restaurant was half empty and libations took more than 20 mins. Server was pleasant, however, our entrees did not arrive at the same time. In fact, I finished my pasta before my husband’s fish and our friend’s short ribs were served. My friend’s Ibérico meal was stone cold. She had to send it back. So basically I ate by myself. When we left the restaurant, the table we had requested was still empty and when my friend complained to the host, he dismissed her and told her that table was only for VIPs… YES.HE.WAS.THAT.RUDE. There are many good places in the Grove to dine, but this is one place I will not be coming back to, no matter how good the food was.

Always a positive experience at Nave. Natalia has been our waitress the last two times there and she has been excellent. Adrian, always comes up with delicious wine to pair our meals with. Neighborhood GEM. Go check it out.
