Best Restaurants for People Watching in Kendall

We had a delightful delicious dinner outside enjoying the passerby’s and the open air experience. Lou our server was excellent and could not have asked for a better evening.

The food and the service were very good. The recommendations by the waiter were excellent.

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

Great service and food!!! Amazing first time at the restaurant.

Melanie was a great waitress and looked after us very well. Happy hour was very happy with genuinely cheap drinks and eats and vibes from current music playing. Cool atmosphere to go to start your evening.
