"Alejandro Vigil, celebrated as the “Messi of Wines,” has opened Casa Vigil in Upper Buena Vista, bringing his Michelin-starred Argentine restaurant to the U.S. The two-story establishment, designed for wine enthusiasts, offers a menu by chef Cesar Gonzalez Aznar that includes a five-course tasting with wine pairings and à la carte dishes. Inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, Casa Vigil features distinct areas like La Cava with over 700 wine labels, El Patio, and the newly debuted rooftop terrace, El Cielo. The venue also focuses on wine education led by sommelier Miguel Martinez and will soon introduce a market selling wines." - Juliana Accioly
"Casa Vigil Miami marks the second outpost of its restaurant in Mendoza, Argentina, which blends Mediterranean and Basque cuisine with Argentine influences. For lunch, guests can choose from starters like “El Tomate” with clarified tomato water, anchovy, and basil, as well as main dishes such as the costilla with mashed potatoes and demi-glace. For dinner, Casa Vigil offers two menu options at $45 or $60. The latter provides a discounted version of the restaurant’s popular five-course tasting menu with offerings like wagyu carpaccio with foie micuit and Parmigiano-Reggiano; rack of lamb with carrots milhojas; and black rice with calamari, parsley, and garlic aioli. Casa Vigil’s wine list is curated by chef-owner Mikel Goikolea, whom the Michelin guide calls “the Messi of Wines.”" - Juliana Accioly

"Casa Vigil is a restaurant originally from Argentina. Its Miami location is inside the Upper Buena Vista complex, and while it has an impressive and extensive wine list, it doesn’t have many other attractive qualities to go along with that wine. The food here is under seasoned and ineffective. A single (and forgettable) empanada will cost you around $10. You won’t be able to find a single grain of salt on the tomato salad. And the confusingly bad ribeye milanesa is just a regular ribeye with a fried exterior shell that slides off when you slice into it, revealing a sad, grey steak. Plus, the housemade potato chips that come with it are so floppy they wave like a flag in the breeze. Add to that a painfully generic pop soundtrack, bad cocktails, and you’ve got a restaurant you can comfortably ignore for now." - Ryan Pfeffer
