Casa Xabi

Casa Xabi is the perfect dinner spot! Amazing service and vibes. Delicious food from appetizers, to main course, to desserts. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back.

Outstanding! The shrimp in garlic and the croquetas, the rib eye, and the sliced peppers were absolutely fantastic! The chef came out and personally made sure we had a great experience.Highly recommend!

Wow! Ok, disclaimer, if you're not familiar with basque cooking or interested in going out of your comfort zone, you might not appreciate this place as much as we did.My father in law grew up in Donostia and we had to give this place a try when we saw it. The wines are reasonably priced and they even serve txakoli which is a favorite from the region (order a bottle if you're here).We got the corvina (fish) and the chuletón (steak) with a green salad, fries, and piquillo peppers on the side for a group of 4, it was plenty. This cut of steak is usually a little chewier/fatty and cooked rare - beware if you're expecting a run of the mill sirloin. It is so tasty though if you know what you're in for.The fish was simple and great. The basque like simple ingredients, allowing oil, garlic, and salt to bring out the flavors of the food naturally. The peppers, wow! Please get these! Such a tasty side. The green salad was refreshing too.The cheesecake left something to be desired but we are big fans of the Leku version, which is much creamier/undercooked on the inside. Fun fact, my father in law doesn't even know where this comes from as he never remembers it from his days in Spain. All together a fabulous meal and great service. We will be back!

My mom grew up in Spain, and even though we've lived in Miami for 25 years now she still loves to go out to Spanish restaurants. I googled some near us and Casa Xabi came up. We decided to go. My mom is very picky and she loved everything. From the ambiance, the music, the food, it was like going back to Spain for a moment. The waitress Liz was also very accommodating and even made a terrific wine choice for my mother. Will definitely come back!

Fantastic! Very authentic Spanish food. Everyone we have recommended to go there loves the place. First of all, the service is amazing. Very friendly and professional. And the food is incredible. The owner's wife is the chef and she is top notch. Anything you order is great. A couple of recommendations include the ensaladilla rusa, the croquetas, the jarrete de cordero, the arroz ibérico and the chipirones rellenos. The place is low key and cozy with a bar and outdoor seating. It's packed on the weekends because it's as good as any of the exquisite restaurants in Spain. Highly recommended.

Qué buen restaurante Vasco en Miami! Realmente me senti en una terrazita en España.Pedimos todo para compartir, todo salio super rapido y estaba delicioso.Mis favoritos fueron las croqueatas, el pulpo y el arroz ibérico.Lo que si no recomiendo es el postre de membrillo, parece mas un appetizer que un poste

I wanted to try Casa Xabi since it's recent opening. But truly, I expected a little more.It was a bit of a disappointment, at least for us. We ordered the octopus appetizer, and it came, I would say, undercooked. (They call it al dente), which may be okay for pasta, but a little tough for octopus. Main dishes were arroz de bogavante and the Corvina. The corvina needed more seasoning... had no flavor. Arroz de bogavante, I think, had like caramelized onions that overwhelmed the delicate flavor of the bogavante. For dessert, we had the cheesecake, and it was delicious... light and airy. It's probably the best thing we had here.The service I have to say was excellent. Very attentive and efficient. I will try coming here again for a second chance.

Disappointing.The restaurant is located in Coconut Grove, with tables at the sidewalk and an air-conditioned dining room with a view of the kitchen. We ordered a txacolí, a fresh young Basque wine that was appropriately priced and at the right temperature. We also had "matrimonio": three pieces of toasted bread with grated fresh tomato, an anchovy filet in oil, and anchovy filet in vinegar. It was quite delicious. We ordered a tortilla, wich was minuscule, around 3/4" high and maybe 3" across. The tortilla was somehow prepared in a pan that did not have enough olive oil, and tasted faintly of burnt egg as a result. Simple dishes require very precise execution, which Casa Xabi is unfortunately lacking. The same problem could be seen in the French fries, which were very soggy, and the salad, this time too acidic. The cheesecake, however, was perhaps the big disappointment. Instead of the the soft and creamy center Basque cheesecakes are known for, this one was tough and overcooked. The fruit compote and fresh strawberries were not able to help it. To top it all of, services was unattentive and just not nice, in spite of the chef walking around the dining room.In summary, excellent wines and interesting menu, but execution is lacking for prices at the higher end.

Service was incredible, Mariana was so kind and wonderful. The food was also incredible. Best restaurant in the grove in a while.

Exceptional experience! The service, food, and wine are all outstanding. Our servers were truly amazing, offering personalized recommendations based on our preferences. And what a wonderful touch - when we mentioned it was a birthday celebration, they warmly shook our hands and wished me a happy birthday! We can't wait to return. The food is divine - don't miss the tortilla de bacalao and solomillo, absolute perfection in every bite!
