Mayfair Grill

"Chef Giorgio Rapicavoli’s new take on this Coconut Grove restaurant inside Mayfair House Hotel & Garden runs its happy hour Monday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The menu features $10 cocktails like the Sea Basilica (made with Dos Hombres mezcal and watermelon purée) and the King of Miami (featuring Espolon reposado and mango liqueur). Wine pours are $10, beers are $5, and Rapicavoli’s bar bites include wood-grilled dates with whipped sheep’s milk cheese, black truffle croquetas, and yellowfin tuna crudo." - Eater Staff

"We’ve already visited this Argentine-Italian restaurant inside the beautiful Mayfair House Hotel. And there’s no need to rush here. " - mariana trabanino, virginia otazo

"The Mayfair House Hotel & Garden is easily one of the most impressive spaces in Coconut Grove. But its namesake restaurant doesn’t quite live up to the beautiful atrium it calls home. The former Southwestern restaurant revamped its menu. It now leans Argentine with grilled everything—meats, bread, dates, and prawns—plus some pasta. They no longer use the oven at all (hence, the potted plant living inside it). But Mayfair Grill still needs work. Most of the food lacks seasoning and details slip. Clams arrive unopened, there’s zero trace of jalapeno in the jalapeno pesto pasta, and sauces are watery. Just about every flavor falls flat. Like that oven plant, this restaurant has a chance to grow in its unique environment. But it’s not there yet." - Virginia Otazo

"The new Mayfair Grill also opened this year as a wood-fired concept inspired by the flavors of the Sonoran desert, which is pretty uncommon for Miami." - Olee Fowler

"Following the major revamp of the longstanding Mayfair House Hotel & Garden (formerly the Mayfair Hotel & Spa), the team behind Lost Boy Co., Tropezon, and Fox’s Lounge have opened up the hotel’s namesake Mayfair Grill restaurant serving up wood-fired cuisine with flavors inspired by the American Southwest by chef Sean Bernal. The menu is expansive with dishes like fire-roasted squash, aguachile, wood-oven cheese, braised lamb Shank, and Navajo breads. Upstairs the rooftop is now home to Sipsip, a pool rum bar that pays homage to the Caribbean, serving items such as conch ceviche, fried oyster sliders, smoked fish dip, and lobster rolls." - Olee Fowler
