overpriced gables restaurant – After a long awaited Valentine' Day dinner it came to our suprised that the restaurant had a set menu for Valentine's Day. The portions were so small I could not see it on my plate. It was totally overpriced. Left restaurant, paid bill and ended up eating elsewhere because I was still hungry. Thanks but no thanks, I will not visit this restaurant again.

Gourmet food every step of the way – The staff will be more than happy to recommend a fantastic wine to go with your meal and their recommendations are good or you can peruse their extensive list. We started with the fish ceviche appetizer which was fantastically good. I had the Pan Seared Salmon Fillet. It was perfect. My friend had the Braised veal cheeks: fall-apart tender and not oversauced. The meals couldn't have been more perfect.

Excellent food and great wines! – Have enjoyed many dinners at CACAO's -the wild boar is a must, and the veal is superb! The tiradito trio to begin with is delicious - and for wines - try their South African selections - Great ambiance and elegant decor - great place to enjoy dinner with a group of friends-

This is ART!! – I was chosen in my company to select the restaurant where we would celebrate our VP Hollyday supper. Fortunately I chose Cacao. I am convinced that this is one of the best restaurants in Miami, not alone the food is fabulous,and creative, the service is exceptional and the environment welcoming . Thanks to Cacao I score a point with the Company and, more important still, enjoyed a magnificent dinner

Very disappointed – I strongly believe that the place is not worth the money and the time. Not only is super expensive but also service is very lousy. Our waiter was clueless and inattentive. He seemed surprised that we actually needed additional water beyond the initial pouring. He forgot what we'd ordered. Sadly, the food was no better than the service. The chef has a frustrating tendency to overload dishes, so called re-invented Latin American, with an overwhelming number of flavors. To me everything tasted simply like to... read more

"A Taste Bud Extravaganza." – After indulging at what Cacao had to offer, only one word best describes my memory of the place: Mesmerizing. The intricate fashion of how the food was prepared was absolutely fascinating. So many eclectic recipes combined in each plate create a burst of flavor that make up a taste bud extravaganza. A reservation is of the utmost importance because of the rising fame that the name Cacao is commanding. The posh decor and chic surroundings create a tremendously attractive ambiance for the upscale ... read more
