Best Family Style Restaurants in Merrick Park

Food as always was fantastic. Appetizers of garlic shrimp, plantains w/cheese and chunks of pork were enjoyed by all. I had the Harry’s chicken which I really enjoyed with Mojo rice and broccoli. Love the rice, the broccoli was bland. My wife had Chicken and mushrooms which she said was amazing comfort food. Another part of our party had the Midnight sandwich. It was recommended and he also loved it. Our only issue surprisingly was the service. I’ll call it poor. We asked a few times for bread which seemed to upset our waiter. He didn’t even fill our waters after the delivery of bread. Everything else was transactional. Brought our dinners and emptied plates. Didn’t really promote dessert. Again, loved the food, surprised with the service and still will be back.

this is a very nice and affordable spot to go and vibe. food was good and the presentation to it was outstanding. the truffle rakakat is a must try!

If you like a happening lively place, this is the spot! It was a fun experience! Food was great!

We had a very nice dinner. Our dumplings, snapper, Carolina Gold rice, and cabbage were excellent and a nice size to share between two people. The wait staff described food and drinks perfectly and were friendly and attentive (but not too attentive). The drink list is not large, but our suggested wines paired very nicely with our plates.

A lovely experience on Valentine's Day which can be quite hectic and noisy in some restaurants. The hostess seated us immediately at a nice table by the window. Service was prompt; water, then warm rolls with a nice chimichurri sauce. Pablo, the waiter, took our drink orders right away; the manager, Jorge, checked at our table two times during the evening. The salad was very generous, enough for three of us. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the butternut squash soup. Our entrees were perfect. The excellent service by Pablo continued throughout the meal. The valet service was perfect. It can be challenging to park in Coral Gables so it was an appreciated amenity. We will definitely return.
