Jaguar Restaurant - Coconut Grove

At some point during the meal, I found myself wondering if everyone there owned the restaurant. Not because they said it, but because of how they moved through the space—with confidence, care, and quiet pride. Each interaction felt personal, as if the place belonged to them and they were inviting you into it. That kind of presence can’t be trained or faked; it comes from a culture that values craft, respect, and shared purpose. You feel it in the service, and you taste it in the food. An extra special thank you to Jovel who treated me like a queen and a member of the family like his own.

Best Margarita ever!!! Una Vodka drinks excellent! The tacos are the best of Miami. The bar team is incredible good and friendly.

I went to Jaguar a few weekends ago with some girlfriends for a girls' night out. The food was good (for the most part), but we weren't fans of the drinks. Here's what we tried: a spicy margarita (which we sent back because it was way too sweet), a passion fruit margarita (5/10), two passion fruit mojitos, and a Paloma Sour (in my opinion, the only decent drink). That said, the service was absolutely spectacular. Our server was incredibly kind and made sure to ask for feedback so they could improve anything we didn't like. For food, we ordered: the Ceviche Vuelve a la Vida (AMAZING), the Peruvian ceviche, and the fried calamari, which we all agreed was the best dish--so much so that we ordered another round! The queso fundido was also very tasty. Two dishes we didn't love: the fish croq

The food here is actually good. Not the most generous portions, but legitimately good. And it’s a nice space. But the service is just trash. So many front of house. Yet still, they managed to “forget” me multiple times. In a relatively empty dining room at 2pm. Just pure inattention. Not even not paying attention to small details. Just completely not paying attention. I had to wait a while upon being seated for a server to show up. In the end, it was the floor manager who came. No water. I had to flag down a server *after* my appetizer had arrived. After my main was finished, they forgot I had ordered dessert. I stepped into the bathroom to wash my hands, and when I came back in 2 minutes, my table had been cleared. The check hadn’t even come. I still had water left. Just smh and what th

Jaguar is hands-down one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. I’ve been there over five times, and every visit has been consistently amazing, both in service and in food. Every single dish I’ve tried has been an absolute banger. The flavors are fresh, vibrant, and totally unforgettable. And don’t even get me started on the desserts, they’re SO delicious and unique. But what really sets Jaguar apart for me is the service. Let’s be real, Miami isn’t exactly famous for great service. But Jaguar breaks that mold every time. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure we’re taken care of. We’re never left waiting long for a refill or a check-in. If you're looking for a spot that delivers incredible food, top-notch service, and a consistently great experience, Jaguar is 100% worth your time
