Location Location Location...makes food taste better..food is average to below average. Location enhances the experience. Actually brought the 2 stars up to 3 stars. Had the goat cheese flatbread...it was flat...well..go enjoy the location.

Tons of places to eat and drink in the Grove. This is one of them. Lots of outside seating which is where we always like to sit. The server was good and the selection of beers was good. The food was enjoyable but nothing to get excited about. Not disappointing, not exceptional. One of our party had their order botched and the manager was kind enough to apologize and give us a free dessert for the table. I left town and my friends said they came back for breakfast as it was highly recommended. Apparently the breakfast here is excellent as my friends did say it was quite good. Go again? Sure. Recommend you try it? Absolutely.

Friendly Staff Great Portion of food - I had the Mediterranean Salad - YUMMY! My S/O had the Duck Salad - Also YUMMY! Heart of Coconut Grove And if you check in - you get either a free desert or Appetizer!! I had a very enjoyable dinner!

This place is just good. The location is really great as it's in a quiter part of coconut grove. Most exciting about this place is that they offer an eggs and caviar option which I think is incredible. That said, I opted for eggs and Brie which was fantastic. The sesame bagel and potatoes were excellent. I think there are little fried onions shreds in it which tasted great. Bottom line a worthwhile stop for breakfast. The only minorly annoy thing was they charged $1.25 for an extra side of cream cheese.

Went here for brunch on a Tuesday. Got the eggs with cheese, potatos and maple ham ..usual breakfast food along with a YUMMY fruit plate. The food was devine, as well as the fresh fruit. Sat outside, calm setting on this particular time and day. Service was great and very attentive! 4 instead of 5...well even for the Grove I believe the price is a tad steep

Excellent breakfast of Nutella Stuffed French Toast and a side a Greek Yogurt. Wonderful sidewalk atmosphere. Where the ball got dropped is my waitress disappeared after I was served and it took me flagging down several others to get my check. If my server had gone on break or whatever -- you would think that they would have this covered -- but no one seemed like they could be bothered.

Lunch, people. Lunch. I see a lot of inconsistency/complaints about brunch, happy hour, etc. Avoid all that drama by stopping by around 12:30 on a Tuesday and going to town on the lunch menu. Odds are, there won't be many people in the restaurant so you can get attentive service in the back room (which resembles one of the many parlors I will one day have in Chateau Johnree). You can order something savory that's not egg-based and end the meal with something sweet that's not a pancake. And, most importantly, you can actually enjoy your meal and experience at this Coconut Grove staple. #belikeme As one might surmise, I came for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon and sat my perky (I really should have a workout tape) nalgas on a velour throne and proceeded to pretend to listen to my lunch mate but, in reality, I just stared at myself in the adjacent mirror. Sounds perfect, right? It gets better. Our waiter was friendly and a little goofy. He tried a bit too hard but his heart was entirely in the right place. In the nearly year since I moved to Miami, I have experienced more d@amn-now-I-have-to-CUT-you service than I have in my entire life. If a waiter wants to crack wise and do his best to make my dining experience a pleasant one? Go for it. Unfortunately, he's in the minority. Jokes cracked, buttocks rested, Arnold Palmer ordered (the best lunch time beverage) and reflection looked at, it was time to decide on food. Let me let you in on a secret: for lunch, go light savory and end light sweet. It's not 'plastics' but I promise you the advice will take you far. Listening to my own advice, I opted for the grilled chicken sandwich. It was of a fairly-large size and came adorned with honey mustard, bacon and swiss cheese. Instead of fries, I chose a side of black beans to go with the sandwich. BAM! I win. I always win. Not only was the meal big enough to sate my appetite, it tasted great, was meal-time appropriate (there's an etiquette to eating) and made me consider the next time I would come to GS to have it again. But, that's not where the story ends. You have to end on a light sweet note, remember? Good. Now, remember this: lemon ricotta donuts with blackberry dipping sauce. ... If I have to say anything else after that last sentence, you're not listening or trying very hard. Crazy. Good. Share because you're in public but don't really share by eating the majority of the donuts before your friend can. Sorry, friend. And, that's how you win at eating at GS. Are you looking at my bum?

Sometimes, when my friends are having a bad week, when they really need a turn in their life, when they really really need a pick me up, I bring them to Green Street and make them order breakfast (served until at least 2PM, every day, by the way) The breakfast potatoes, they are life changing. Life. Changing. Yea yea yea, Green Street has great cocktails, appetizers, fine food, awesome decor and hot waiters, but those breakfast potatoes, they are therapy. Coupled with a tomato, goat cheese and onion omelette and you have a $12 slice of heaven, right there on your massive cocoanut grove-emblazoned plate. Couple that slice of heaven with an iced cappuccino, and you will be ready for anything, even if it's just non-stop gabbing about your hot waiter.

It was my first time in Miami and I was the first one to arrive that day. My friend was able to take me out and show me around a little bit that night. Thursdays happen to be college night at The Grove. We stopped here since Fat Tuesday was kinda dead. I love their comfy couches and people watching. I didn't have any food, but they do give you some spicy nuts and crackers to munch on. The ambiance is great!

In a nut shell, Good food, large portions but service is poor. Food: price is reasonable (25$ for girlfriend and I) portions were large. Food was slightly above average. Service: sucked. Brought out dirty water cup. Had 3 different servers come up to us but they never checked back. Had to flag them down for condiments and the bill.

Got a chance to try this place out. Very good. Didn't have a long wait, got seated right away. The giant chairs they have freak me out a bit, but that's just me. Food came out fast, I had the orange chicken which was cooked really well. The skin could have been a tad bit crisper, but I'm nitpicking. The meat was tender so I don't have any complaints. Friends had no complaints about their food either, so all is good. We had the Tempura Banana desert, which was really good. I was already full to begin with, but I managed to find room for this. It was a good combo of warm/cold/sweet/and FRIED. Can't go wrong with fried. The waiter was friendly and came around to refill waters/bread as needed. Gave us some suggestions on what to do while in Florida and was generally a nice guy. If you're in Miami, grab a bite here, the food is good!

OK service. Went to visit Miami to watch a Dolphins vs. Jets game on Sunday and a friend of ours suggested this place to us. He told us they have the BEST french toast so the four of us went. We ordered half of french toast and an omelette. Honestly, I didn't think it was "the best". It was good, but I've had better. Good prices though! They have cool seats and you can sit outside/inside. I would recommend it to my friends... They have other stuff on the menu as well, so I would most likely go back if I get the chance.

Large portions and great people watching are the highlights at Greenstreet cafe. Quality of food at Breakfast was good but not great. Although we didn't try it, the nutella stuffed french toast looked quite tasty.

I went back to GreenStreet a couple of weeks ago and it'd been YEARS since my last visit. I'm not sure why I hadn't gone back, but it probably has something to do with the fact that I rarely leave Brickell. I remember thinking in the past that the food at GreenStreet was phenomenal. I think my palette is much more refined than it once was. I arrived at GreenStreet on the Saturday of the Coconut Grove Arts Festival expecting to wait a million years for a table. As expected, we waited a million years for a table. Once we sat down, we ordered the truffle brie wrapped in puff pastry since our server enthusiastically announced that it was the best item on the menu. It was...underwhelming. I then had the goat cheese salad and added chicken. I expected the salad to be much more flavorful than it was. My friend ordered the lasagna which she didn't seem too enthusiastic about. Overall, our visit to GreenStreet was pleasant, since the outdoor seating area provides excellent people-watching and the weather outside that day was perfect. In my humble opinion, if you're looking for a place to relax outside with friends and enjoy the lovely atmosphere, GreenStreet is your place. If you're expecting an out-of-this-world culinary experience, go elsewhere. PS I can't believe they still only have one women's bathroom stall, someone has GOT to do something about that!!!!!

I love this place. Especially, because I get to bring my dog. I had the lasagna and it was delicious . My boyfriend had the blacken dolphin and according to him was great. The ambiance was also great. The waiter was on point with the services. The reason for the four stars was because yamile(our waiter)was refilling my wine all the time and you can't go wrong with that.
Love this place! tried going to lulu's around 11 but they said they were closed and only serving drinks. We were starving so we came to greenstreet to see what was on the menu and order some food. They have a late night menu which we opted to get the calamri and flat bread pizza.. both were really good and at a good price. The place was also really upbeat and had a lot of people which i liked. Cool, fun and trendy place to go to and chill out, drink and grub. Im a fan of green street and i know you will be too :)

Came here during the Coconut Grove Art Show. We sat outside cause the weather was perfect to be outdoors and enjoying a meal. We started off with some calamari and it was just ok. in my opinion it had to much breading and should use a different type other than Italian bread crumbs. Then I had a Blue Cheese Burger with sauteed onions and mushrooms that was cooked perfectly. I got it with shoe string french fries. My friends had the Fig Salad with grilled chicken strips( large portion) and one other person had the same burger as I did but he got it with grilled veges. it took awhile for the food but I guess it was because of the Art Show. The waitress we had was attentive to our table filling the glasses of water and checking to see how our food was and if we needed anything else.I will definitely eat here again.

After passing by this often crowded corner so many times I decided to try it for once. My girlfriend and I had a series of yummy dishes. We started with the Truffle Brie baked in Puff Pastry served with crispy toasts. It was melt in your mouth good! After that I had the Goat Cheese Pizza and my girlfriend had the blackened dolphin. The pizza had a delicious thin crispy crust and a generous coating of goat cheese along with arugula and sun dried tomatoes. The blackened dolphin was moist, flaky and perfectly spicy. This was impressive as most restaurants over cook and dry out their blackened fish. The fish was served with the largest asparagus spears I've ever seen - very tasty! Service was prompt and polite.

Yelp led me astray on this one. We did not enjoy our experience and won't go back. When we called to see if they were open on New Year's Day, the hostess was extremely rude. Ok, maybe we caught her in a bad moment... We arrived as a party of 6 and one baby, and they tried to seat us at a 4 top. Weird, no. Ok, ordering. My friend ordered the eggs Benedict (listed on the menu) and the waiter said they only serve that on weekends, which it wasn't. It doesn't say that anywhere on the menu and it's mixed in with other menu items. He said he could see if he could do it. Weird. I asked if the turkey sausage came in links or patties and after glancing at all the other tables he said he had no clue. I ordered it anyways and they brought regular sausage, which I figured out after taking a bite. Ugh. THEN, we had the baby carrier on our 7th chair (they knew we were a party of 7 when we sat down) and half way during our breakfast, they came and said they needed the chair and could the baby please sit on the floor? Seriously?? So rude. All in all, not a good experience. One star because the food was fine (and yelp doesn't let you give 0).

I love the food here. And the furniture. And the drinks. And the staff...it's just a little pricey but it's coconut grove so thats to be expected. We come here for birthday dinners with friends because it's close and delicious, and when you arder a birthday dessert you get a giant firecracker roman candle thing. Sparks everywhere. Once had someone try to blow it out and shot sparks across the table... not a wise choice but made for quite the awesome photo. The staff is really friendly and accommodating, and the place is packed all day. The bar is really well stocked too. Highly recommend any pasta dish here. I love the chicken fettuccine alfredo here.

Keith P.
By far, one of the best breakfast places I have ever been to in Miami! My friend and I have been whenever we want to get breakfast, and their food is definitely a good way to start your day! I highly recommend that you try their spinach and feta omelette (it's my favorite) together with their breakfast potatoes-- amazingly crisp! Are you looking to satisfy your sweet tooth? Order Steve's Banana pancakes! They are huge and half an order should be a good meal, but if you are extremely hungry get the full order. I think it is one of my more favorite breakfast nooks because they offer you outdoor seating which faces the Grove-- good scenery!

Phantameo!! A.k.a. Overrated. GreenStreet Cafe is a staple of Coconut Grove, it is considered one of the known restaurants in this town. Naturally, this place has its clientele and really doesn't need to lure people in. Expect the service to be meh. Waiters wearing nothing but black, with a chip on their shoulder just because they believe their in the "it" spot. Food is also meh. Seriously overpriced for a burger, pizza, or any other food you can probably make yourself. In short, this place is ONLY good for people watching. Expect them dressed in all sorts of ways from shorts & flip flops to high heels & dresses. Although owned by the same company, I'd much rather go next door to Lulu's.

Good ole Greenstreet! Never, ever ceases to please a hungry soul. Whether it be breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or late-night eats, Greenstreet hits the spot. It really is my got-to place when I get hungry at odd hours since they are basically open all day and night. I honestly can't recall having a bad meal there, ever.

Grant P.
Green Street is one of those places that garners this reaction: Friend: "Let's go to Green Street." You: "OMG YES!!!" The food is great, the atmosphere of a sidewalk cafe doesn't really get much better, and the drinks are good too. This place is great for any meal. A quiet lunch, a nice dinner with friends, a night cap at the bar, or a Sunday Brunch--you could even do all of that in the same 24 hour period if you wanted.

I have never written a bad review since I've joined yelped but I've never been treated this way going out to eat. This places was recommended to me by a friend so me and my husband decided to check it out. The wait was an hour to an hour and a half which is fine with me I mean it is sunday and the brunch group is pretty thick. So we grabbed a waiting table and waited for the waiter to take out beverage order... 30 minutes goes by and the server never stops at our table.... Everyone else's but not our table.... 15 more minutes passes by and another server see us and ask if we have been helped . We tell him no and he takes out beverage order and said the server would be bringing my mimosa..... I never got my mimosa. It's not until my friend flagged down the waiter that I asked to speak to a manager. When the manager finally came to our table I kindly told her the situation as to how we have been sitting there for more than an hour being completely ignored while she served every table but ours.. The manager kindly apologies and gave us a complementary round of beverages that never made it to our table. Eventually we gave up on this place and left. I will never set foot in this establishment again.

Here we go.... The little entourage of hostesses is terrible. They all have bad attitudes and clearly don't want to be here on a Sunday...(get a new job, ladies)...they told me, with a perfect eye roll, that there was a 2 hour wait...We waited in bar area, the bartender outside, Rebecca, was great. Super helpful, despite being the only bartender for 30+ people. Then we got seated, after an hour and a half (not complaining, because I was enjoying my mimosas outside) ...our waiter wasn't very present. He forgot our drinks, our food was super late. Luckily, GreenStreet Cafe has incredible food, it's worth the wait on a lazy Sunday but the staff needs to go. I don't want to feel like an inconvenience when I'm dining out.

I met a a friend at GSC for brunch on a sunny Saturday morning. It was jammed with locals and tourists -- including loads of families with kids. The brunch menu goes in two directions -- either big, lovely omelets accompanied by crispy hash browns and toast or fancy pancakes and french toast. The goat cheese and spinach omelet was huge and I ate every bite of the omelet + half a toasted baguette and a huge mound of potatoes. The place is cute and definitely could be a go to breakfast spot if you live in the Grove or at a nearby hotel, but I suspect there are equally tasty breakfast places in every neighborhood. In short GSC is good, but is not worth driving more than a few minutes to. Doesn't that sound like a pretty good definition of three stars? .
Ahi tuna salad is very good. Watch out for the goat cheese pizza - while tasty, it can be overcooked. I would also get rid of those posters containing close-ups of miserable people. Not appetizing or tasteful.

Went for dinner at 8 on a Sunday night. Only 2 other couples sitting inside, though the place was packed outside/in the bar area. It seemed because it was so bare inside, staff forgot to come back in... we waited 10+ minutes for anyone to come to our table, after we'd been seated. Once he got there though, the waiter consistently came back and was friendly. As for the food: the hummus lacked any flavor at all, I'd suggest a different appetizer. The salmon was delicious, and the lobster ravioli was good, although the sauce really overwhelmed the lobster itself. Our drinks were all delicious, the raspberry lemon drop was my favorite. The tres leches cake was also delicious. Overall, I'd go back just to repeat the salmon, lemon drop and cake! And I'd like to try some other appetizers and entrees, the place is worth checking out. It's very cute inside as well, a great date spot.

very disappointed with GreenStreet. definitely not what it usto be. the portions have gotten smaller and the quality of the food has gone down tremendously. Im allergic to MSG and just discovered that they put MSG on everything!!! Salad dressings, chicken, pizza, calamari. You are basically paying to get sick. Horrible! Very disappointing!

How have I waited so long and not gone to this Coconut Grove staple? Its ok, it was worth the wait! The only reason I did not give this place a full 5 stars was that the service was not so good at the time. We waited a long time for someone to come to our table just to get our drinks, only to have another waiter realize we had not been helped. When our waiter finally did arrive to take our order, it took a very long time to get any follow up. We ordered hazelnut syrup, this was not provided. When trying to remind our server of this, couldnt find him and it took him a really long time to come by again to check on us. Same thing for requesting the check, getting the check, and getting it paid. I finally had to stand up and walk to the front service to pay my bill, only to be intercepted by my waiter. And then another wait to sign my card... that aside, the food was very good! Highly recommend Steve's Banana Pancakes and the Jamaican Jerk eggs. I would also like to point out that breakfast potatoes are pretty standard and are nothing to be excited for usually...but here...they stand out! I want to go again just to repeat the exact items I ordered ...but I will be sure to get a different waiter.

Had their chocolate french toast. It's not on the menu so you have to specifically ask for it. It was nice that real semisweet chocolate bars were inside the french toast but I was hoping that it would be dipped in chocolate. It was okay.

Nice place to have some drinks and apps. Dont leave until you try the fries! SOOO GOOD!!! Can get pricey but the food is definitely worth it, specially if you have the fries! I had the lamb burger with goat cheese with fries....it was good but I would have preferred the good ole angus...next time...because I will definitely be back ....for more fries. If you have friends/family in town definitely stop buy for drinks and people watching...they wont forget it...or the fries. truffle fries. The End.

Last night I went to GreenStreet Cafe with a large group to celebrate a friend's birthday. So often when we go out to other restaurants, the service is lousy and figuring out checks is a mess. Earlier in the week a reservation was made at GreenStreet Cafe for 20 people; however, a couple of days later we were told the reservation could only be kept if everyone ordered from a fixed, pre-determined menu - which is not what we wanted to do. We decided to go to GreenStreet Cafe anyway but anticipated having some issues as a group of 20 people without a reservation. When we arrived, the restaurant seemed to be fairly busy (Saturday 8pm). Even so, the staff managed to put together tables to seat 20 people with minimal wait time. As more friends trickled in, GreenStreet Cafe allowed us to add more tables and chairs to accommodate our growing group. We were fortunate to have Justin as our waiter for the evening. Justin was absolutely wonderful. He had a great attitude and was very responsive. I can't say enough good things about Justin because I was so impressed with the service. I will definitely be going back to GreenStreet Cafe and asking to sit in Justin's section :)

Awful service! Went for Brunch they told us they would text us when the table is ready. When I arrived to the table they messed up and the table was not available. Then the staff particularly the Manager became very rude telling me and my kids to go back outside. My 7 year old crying and they wouldn't even bring us an OJ to calm her down.

Went here tonight for date night with my boyfriend. We were looking for something casual. There was no wait, and we asked to sit outside. The waiter was great, super nice and friendly. The food came out quickly and the flatbread was delicious...super thin and crispy crust. Just as our entrees came out, I started to get bitten by bugs. The waiter immediately escorted us to a table inside and moved all our food and drinks inside and was very nice about it! Good food, good service, I'll be back!

This was my first time in green street and it was delicious food but the service was awful. The hostesses were great and very professional but the server barely paid attention to our table and it took more than 30 minutes to get our food. The managers were all over the place and seem like they have no idea what they are doing. There was a bad smell coming from what seemed to be the staff room and the restaurant was not very clean or taken care of. I don't plan on returning.

I've been hearing about this place forever and I finally got to check it out for brunch. There was some good, some bad but overall it was a decent experience. This place gets very packed and most of the seating is outdoors, and it being Miami in January, it was very hot. There were no fans in sight except for one right above our table that was grimy and disgusting, and I'm sure if we had asked them to turn it on, it would have blown nasty black stuff all over our food. So we sat in the heat instead. If I had seen the menu before going, I might have suggested another place because it is the most unremarkable thing. It's like they took a Denny's menu and upgraded the quality. (Who goes out to brunch to order continental breakfast?!) I ordered a ham and cheese omelette and a Heavenly Street, which was a raspberry flavored champagne cocktail. That was delicious. The omelette was equally great, also a very healthy portion. It came with potatoes and toast. I ordered white, I got wheat. Why even ask then? The "potatoes" are nothing more than cubed fries. They're good but nothing spectacular. We asked the server for ketchup a couple of times. When she brought it out, she gave us one tiny cup of it, even though there were 5 of us and almost all of us had fries. Even though the food is great, I'm not totally convinced I would ever go back here. I can get a decent cheese omelette wherever.

So disappointing. This is my first negative review as a Yelper. I've been to Greenstreet many times, and for the most part I'd rate them 3.5 to 4 stars. Today's brunch was horrible. Our party of 4 were welcomed by the waiter within an acceptable timeframe..he took our drink order, brought water and then vanished, never to be seen again. We asked another server, Maria, to come to our rescue. She was the bright spot...friendly, attentive and apologetic. We once again ordered our drinks and placed our food orders. Given they were slammed, let's overlook that it took 30 minutes to get our food...basically egg dishes. To a person, each of our egg dishes were significantly over cooked...and cold. It almost seemed like they had been pre-cooked hours earlier. When you order a cheese omelette and the cheese is not gooey...it's a bad sign. The potatoes...oh the potatoes. I've always said there's nothing better than French fries that are hot out of a fryer,...and nothing worse than cold fries. The same goes for home fries. Today's home fries were cold, chewy and overcooked. On the good side, I wasn't tempted to eat them..thus maintaining a New Years resolution. The atmosphere was great...but for breakfast/brunch we'll be finding other venues.

Food was good , but service i do not want to remember, after almost 15 minutes , we had water and bread over the table, them another 15 minutes to order a botle of wine, the fried calamary we order to start was served in another table , so wait time was longer than 25 minutes and not only that , we order a second bottle of wine, but never was served , we ask for the ticket and they charged for the wine we never received, so the server noticed that and she ask if we still want it , she never apologized for tthe horrible service we received. I will never want to go back.

This place is always a must for late night dining. We started out with the caramelized onion flat bread and a strawberry lychee martini. The cocktail was great. I found myself drinking most of her first drink and ordering a set for the both of us.the flatbread had great flavor but it seemed to dry overall. It was in need of some oil or sauce to be complete. Next we shared the lobster ravioli. It was tasty with a really good sauce. The pasta was creamy and cooked to perfection but was lacking enough lobster. Overall I love this place. You just have to try everything and see what works for you.

I LOVE this place!!! I've taken all my friends & co-workers here. The food is amazing & the service is great. My only complaint is that the hostesses can sometimes be snarky. But overall I love the place. I've been coming here for years now. My friends even make jokes that I should possibly become part owner. Whenever people in Coconut Grove ask me where they should go eat. I immediately send them here. GreenStreet has tons of variety. I've tried several things on the menu & have yet to be dissapointed. This is definitely a staple here in Coconut Grove. The quality is great & the service fast. If I decided to move out of the state this is definitely a place I would miss. Also, if you are ever in the inside bar.. Amy is the best!!! I've had times when I've had a pick up order & I got there a few minutes before it was done. Amy immediately is accomdating. She'll let me know of all the delicious drinks on the menu that I should try while waiting. I have immediately spent more money, because of her. It was money well spent. Because she made me never want to leave & just hang out with everyone else there. Great atmosphere!

Owney's BottomLine: Outdoor seating, great brunch and beautiful people. F' yeah! My girlfriend and I had a pretty stressful week with work so we were elated to find this gem for a fantastic brunch. I ordered the scrambled eggs with jerk spice with homefries, a side of chorizo and added a cappuccino. This hit the spot and dinning outside in such perfect weather made this even better. She got the chocalate french toast which may have been to rich/sweet for her. She enjoyed it, but it wasnt her favorite. I enjoyed it, but it did require a strong sweet tooth. Keep in mind the portions are significant and you will get full.

The best choice for a Grove sidewalk seat, we love this place. Our cheerful server, Justin, was more than helpful with vegan modifications. Fig salad - no cheese - perfect balance of flavors, not overdone. As always, it was AWESOME.

This place really is great a bit noisy if you eat inside. The place is very fresh the only reason for the 3 stars is the price felt to high and I was only there for breakfast and the food was basic things noting extravagant

I absolutely love the red couches outside, and the huge red couch inside! A great breakfast spot that also doubles as a great place for drinks for girls night out! The decorations are very cool! Tasty food, but some of it can be a little pricy. Definitely a staple of the grove and always has a fun night. Usually good for large groups, but once our waiter completely messed up splitting the bill among multiple cards and had a bad attitude about it. But other waiters have been decent.

Not good for lunch! We originally intended to come here for brunch, but we were running late and when we got there the waitress said they were going to stop breakfast in about 10 minutes, so we just went with lunch. Bad choice. All three of us ordered pastas. We had the penne tetrazzini and the linguine with shrimp. They were very mediocre and very salty! Way too salty. We ordered the humus appetizer which tasted bland. We will be going back for breakfast / brunch but as far as lunch goes, go somewhere else.

My husband and I went here for brunch it was delicious! I had the Nutella waffles and it was hard to not order another one. Try it if you have a sweet tooth like I do. My husband ordered their scrambled eggs with salsa, which he loved! I tried it and it was, but not as good as my waffles. He also ordered a jack and coke and surprising it wasn't a small cup and it was strong. I was very impressed.

This review is strictly for Sunday brunch. Pet friendly. Great location. Long wait but great service. Very interesting people watching. Three words, red velvet pancakes! One more word: Perfection.

Great brunch place. Love the ambiance. Perfect place for a bloody mary and a burger on a Sunday!

Great place for the blueberry pancakes if you like a sweet breakfast or the jerk scrambled eggs if you want some spice. Top it off with a Bloody Maria and you have the perfect breakfast.

I absolutely love this place! My boyfriend and I have gone a handful of times and always enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, great food, and classy details. I have tried their omelettes, potatoes, pancakes, nutella french toast, mushroom sandwhich, lattes, and so on. All mouth watering. The presentation is great and it tastes great!

This has been one of my favorite restaurants for at least three years now. We eat there a few times each month. The food is consistently good and, in fact, the food has been improving lately. However, I am upset that they got rid of the mixed berry cobbler. I've eaten it for dessert regularly and it was something most restaurants don't offer as opposed to the brownie with vanilla ice cream (which I also enjoy by the way). Management, if you're reading this: I'm not happy about that decision!! P.S. shout out to vlad our server who ran half a block to bring us our forgotten leftovers.

A great decent place for just a regular breakfast. Nothing fancy, food was good. Exactly what you are looking for after a long night and do not want to think too much about what you are eating. Had a delish omlet with some good potatoes and a nice glass og oj. perfect in every way and exactly what I was looking for.

Went last night for an early dinner with friends and it was just ok. We had the calamari appetizer, greek salad, Penne Tetrazzini and Penne Bolognese. My Greek salad was nothing special, My one friend had to put salt on her Tetrazzini and her husband cleaned the plate of his bolognese. They do have happy hour twice a day, every day at 5-7 and 11-12 or 1. The mojitos were decent but overall there menu and food wasnt really exciting. Probably would not go out of my way to eat there again.

love the food, always fresh and yummy!!! Service has declined a little bit, but it's still good. Can't beat brunch there! one of our favorites are the jerk Casar chicken salad, not on the menu, but they always make it for us.

I love Greenstreet. Great food and location. I have been going there with friends and family for years. But I have to say, after eating there tonight and getting up charged $2.50 for adding cheese and $1.50 to add nuts - all this to a $15 salad (now $19), I think they have become too expensive. Sorry Greenstreet, but you lost a star and I think my visits will become less frequent. I hope you consider making your food more affordable!

Don't understand how other restaurants fail, yet this place continues. My husband owned a restaurant for 20 years and still scratches his head over this place. Last time we went was for breakfast. Seriously, scrambled eggs with potato cubes and bland toast, with a tasteless cup of coffee. The absolute worst part of this experience is the noise from the trucks coming down Commodore Plaza to make their morning deliveries. Not only can you not carry on a conversation (had to ask the waitress to hold on until the idling truck moved on), but you're breathing in diesel fumes with every mouthful. Diesel and eggs is not my idea of a good morning meal. Forget about the pigeons or the gross brick sidewalk that can't be pressure-washed since the sidewalk is really the only place to eat (unless you want to eat in the crypt). Service is fine, but I always think the waitstaff has alterior motives for working there (like maybe finding a lead to a better job?)

Great place for breakfast, as long as you have time to wait as there is often a line. French toast is the dish to get, and just a half order is plenty unless you are absolutely starving. Iv'e had it many times and it is always good, fluffy and substantial at the same time. So be prepared for a wait if it's on the weekend, and avoid the dinner menu (as others have said it's not bad, just over priced and nothing special). Outside is a fun place to people watch and the inside in interesting also, with creepy little figures adorning the walls/ceiling -anyone remember the 80's horror movie The Gate? Picture those creepy little demons things and you get the idea.

A Grove classic on the corner with sidewalk couches and coffee tables to better watch the passers by. The menu is nothing to jump up and down about, but the food is good (except for the lamb burger, baaad, can't recommend it except maybe for your doggies - they do allow pets). All in all, a solid choice for brunch or evening appetizers.

GreenStreet Cafe is located in the grove where senior frogs used to be For some reason I always get more excited about coming to this place than when I actually arrive but not to say I don't have a good time because I've never had a bad time here. The food is good, good size for your buck the last time I went here I had a duck salad that I really enjoyed and some good drinks. The service has always been really, really good to me. I always see good looking people here. This place has a very laid back vibe, you look around and see everyone just chilling out in their own element talking enjoying themselves. It has really funky decor that I like because I like funky interesting stuff but if you've read some of the reviews on this place you'll notice something come up again, and again that would be the furniture being a tad icky and in some need of some TLC. I know when I go to a place one of the things I don't want to have to worry about is getting lice or some sort of secretion stick to me especially when the place is ment for kicking back and enjoying yourself. To me greenstreet is a meet up place to start your night or more so for me a early afternoon get together place to enjoy nice Miami weather.

Way to many people in one area at night. I did like the couches outside however.

Great spot for outside dining, especially with friends or on a date. It's a sexy spot with velvet sofas and tables where you can share a meal. Food portions are generous for the price, the decor is very cozy and there is plenty of outside dining space. I had the pasta with chicken in pink sauce, prepared well but a tad bland. They should try the same dish with a spicy arrabiata sauce and WOW! Or add some spice. But it was good. a little salt took it to the right level. Drinks are made strong so make sure if it's not to your liking tell them. some bartenders mistake a good drink for lots of alcohol. The wings are AMAAAAAZING. Not sloppy and drenched in sauce. Nice meaty and neat with a blackened outside and just the right amount of heat. Salads and fries also great! Can't go wrong with this spot.

Stop thinking Miami is a rude city. It is when you drive. I am not sure what happens to drivers behind a wheel, but GreenStreet is a great example of how people in Miami are really nice. The service was really great. People were nice and helpful and the bloody marys are awesome. I really liked the french fries as well. I really like how you can wait on the couches and watch Coconut Grove go by and I think the food is really decent. Still not a fan of the artichoke. It needs some seasoning. Go for drinks, brunch and a nice leisure day a Miami. ;)
An ideal place for small group dinners, evening drinks and dates! We have always enjoyed this place for the outside seating, tables for meals, and actual couches along the side walk for drinks. Plus the main bar is outside but well covered, so weather is never an issue for some type of outdoor eating/drinking. My friend who is an avid scotch drinker has always been pleased with the selections, as a gin drinker I always enjoy trying the varieties the bar has. Smoking cigarettes and cigars is allowed on the sidewalk area. The menu, like most Miami restaurants, has a large selection or meat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes, so everyone will be happy. Though some of the dishes have rather small portions. There is a weekend brunch menu that I enjoy, fairly basic, but always well prepared. Plus, there is the added perk of being able to sit outside on a quiet morning across the street from a park, and on slow moving early morning streets. Note, even when we go in groups of 7 or 8, for drinks or food, the service is always top notch and the meals always come out at the same time. Kudos to the kitchen.

So I think a lot of people like it here because its a place to see and be seen--especially on Sunday mornings--but I actually like it for the food and atmosphere also. It's a popular brunch spot for good reason; the breakfast food (pancakes--my favorite, omelets, coffee, fruit smoothies) is excellent and served in big portions. It's also just a cool place to sit outside and relax and take in a nice morning. Inside isn't bad either, but its dark and I kid you not I've gone with several people who think the decor is weird, especially the "creepy" little man sculptures all over the place. Green Street is also not bad for lunch; burgers are decent and some of the sandwiches (fish wrap, cajun chicken) are quite good. Never been for dinner, but at night it can turn into a pretty good spot to go out. It seems like it used to get more crowded and crazy at night back when I was in high school a few years ago (especially on Thursdays), but it's still nice to grab a few drinks and chill on those red couches. All in all, a solid place in the Grove.

Great date place, the couches are fun and it gives great place to just talk and enjoy Miami. I went around 10p and enjoyed some drinks (recommend the Mojito) and calamari as an appetizer - both were great.

Greenstreet is your go to place for a good meal or a place to meet up for a drink. It has a lot of outdoor seating which is great when the weather is nice. I've only had the salads and brunch but both were great and very satisfying. Fun place, and very laid back.

Alex B.
The breakfast I had was great. I tried the scrambled eggs with salsa. It wasn't spicy at all like the menu said, still very good. The onion bagel with chive cream cheese was good too. The service is usually pretty bad but I go back because of the food.

Do you all remember that Miami weekend three-weeks ago, first week of October it was 65 degrees, sun shining, blue sky, puffy white clouds and a nice comforting breeze to bring it all together on this Sunday morning. It is wonderful when a plan comes together. GF and I went to mass down the road, feeling rather glorious and happy to be alive, we decided to take in the Grove all it had to offer. The many dogs weren't even fighting. Lycra bound cyclist zipping by. The fortunate gray-haired types "cruising" in their rolling steel sculptures of Italian decadence. No sweating going on today. How about that mainstay the Green Street Cafe. Appropriately enough it was pajama day and the staff was looking comfy. We paid a few bucks to park next door, approached the hostess stand and noticed at least 20 parties ahead of us had the same culinary desire this day. No problem -this is where properly run restaurants show their true colors-table after table of happy customer were being turned, we had no problem in standing around for 15-20 minutes (again no sweating), even the fans were off. Plus the smell of home fries kept us engaged and eyeing tables that were about to clear out. The beautiful hostess calls out our name and we declare ourselves front and center. A few parties before us could not be found (aww) so we wanted to reward the hostess for their persistence. Great two-top table in the middle of the action (again dogs at peace with each other). Incredibly friendly server with a phenomenal disposition and personality. We knew what we wanted two orders of Eggs Benedict 8.5/10, Cafe con Leches -nice Lavazza brand coffee used, HOME FRIES, golden brown, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Although there was a long line at hostess stand we never felt rushed. It was nice flow. Had an extra shot of espresso to take on the rest of Cocowalk. Later had a pitcher of Mimosa across the street.

I love going to GreenStreet for Brunch. I like to sit outside on a nice cool Miami morning! (during fall, winter and early spring of course) The french toast with the maple syrup is one of my favorite. I know it's always swamped during the weekend, but can the service get better and more consistent? I am not a hard person to please when it come to service, all you need to do is come check on us if we need refill on the coffee, water or juice, is that too much to ask? I guess I am a sucker or it's because it's close to my house or maybe for the mediocre service......yes I will go back to eat there.

Seated in the corner across from a french restaurant, both restaurants compete for customer servers on standby by the street calling to people walking by. Eventually it was decided the green st cafe because they served pasta. I ordered the linguini and clams in red wine sauce. The pasta and sauce were good, there were plenty of clams in the pasta six with shells and the rest without I thought it was a nice touch and I was surprised to fish more and more clams out of the pasta.

We were a group of six persons that waited for over 90 minutes to be seated. As the hostess guided us to our table, she was told that the manager gave away our table to a 'regular' customer, and that unfortunately, we would have to simply wait for another table. I was shocked that management could be so discourteous and unprofessional. Furthermore, to be so bold to tell customers this, as if they didn't matter. The employees who were aware of what had happened were visibly embarrassed and dumfounded by the managers' action. The assistant manager offered free Mimosa's, then increased his offer to 50% off the tab. The truth is, even if it were free, we would not have stayed. Obviously, we will never ever go back there.

GreenStreet Cafe is a Coconut Grove staple that's been around for ages. The location is excellent for people watching and is popular for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour. I frequently go for breakfast/brunch on the weekends and will often have drinks with friends on the "lounge" side at night. I find the the food and service to be consistently good, although I would like to see them change up the menu from time to time.

Great place for brunch. I love the chocolate french toast!! The chocolate is inside the bread rather than just some source on the surface. My boyfriend ordered egg benedict, which was pretty good! Tables are outside and alone the street but not very noisy. Enjoyed a breakfast with sunshine in Miami was an wonderful experience especially for an escaper from the cold Philly. Price was fair, smoothy was fine too!

Well take 2 Ginkgo biloba and call me in the morning. I've been by here and even eaten here a time or two in the evening yet never knew they served such a good breakfast nor the name of the place. Eggs Florentine, blue berry pancakes and a mimosa. Ah. Finally a great breakfast close to home. I can ride my bicycle here and after a breakfast like that will need to ride much farther to work it off. Eat inside with comfortable seating and a/c or enjoy the fresh air outside and watch the people walking around. A menu for everyone with a cheap and simple eggs and toast to the breakfast budge and diet breaker that I had and more.

Karen H.
I am a bit biased as I have been coming to eat here since the late 90's but I love this place. I have eaten various items on their breakfast/brunch and lunch menu and I have never been disappointment, food quality is very consistently good. The service for the most part is OKAY but I have had my occurrences of slow/poor service; I'm usually not in a hurry as I am catching up with friends/family or I bring a newspaper. The location and environment are great...I always sit outside. Overall my favorite place for brunch in Miami.
Green Street is pretty cool. Its open air, which is great, but if you want to soke up some AC, the inside has a really unique baroque sort of decor. The food was good, decently priced and the service was very good. I haven't been here for breakfast/brunch yet, but I hear it is awesome. Thursday and Friday nights are fun at Green Street too (generally). Update: Went here for brunch this weekend, very reasonably priced but nothing spectacular about the food, its sort of hard to mess up eggs. Its nice to sit outside and people watch in the Grove.

GreenStreet gets 4 stars for their affordable, generously portioned, good-ass breakfast. It was my first experience here and it was a very satisfying one. I also had their new mexican soup which I recommend heavily because it was that good. I had a ham and cheese omelette which was pretty big and came with potatoes and toast. I sampled some of my friends' plates and they were all good as well. Their Bloody Mary was yummy and strong. A+ choice for a hangover.

HUEVOS RANCHEROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (eggs with salsa as its written on the menu) I could not get enough! SO MUCH food and I ate EVERY bite!!!!! I arrived to a long line and a FULL house. I gave my name and worried that I would not sit down in time to eat and my stomach would actually, eat itself. I started to walk up to the hostess to ask "How long will ..." "NICOLE" She called my name! I was seated immediately! I have been here before on a "diet" or for a meeting (BAH) so, never really got to enjoy a real, stick-to-your-ribs breakfast BUT, this time it was different. The service was quick, the waitress, friendly and the food came out hot and Fresh! I ordered the huevos rancheros with an everything bagel which comes automatically with tiny potatoes. The food was spectacular, I have been randomly texting friends with HUEVOS RANCHEROS all week since saturday. They were that good and I dont care how crazy I seem. LOVE!

Green Street... How I would love to love this place for brunch, but I dont. Bottom line probably the most overrated brunch in Miami. The eggs benedict are subpar and the breakfast in general is just average yet there is always an hour wait and people seem to rave about this place like it is the second coming. I strongly feel that people just like to sit out there on Sunday morning just to be seen looking fabulous on a busy corner. It gets 3 stars because I do enjoy their lunch menue. Good paninis and great burgers.

Great scenery, and phenomenal brunch. Everything I've had on the brunch menu has been very satisfying. Only downside is the wait, but, a mimosa at the bar fixes all that! :)

Every time I stay in Coconut Grove I go here for breakfast! I've never sat inside because it's been great weather every time I'm in Miami. Great breakfast, great service. I love getting egg whites "jerk" style. And it helps that it's very reasonable prices.

Two different sides to this place... a) Sunday morning brunch: This place is wonderful for brunch; on a nice day you can sit outside and enjoy the warm sun. They make excellent omelettes and serve great mimosas. A little pricey, but very enjoyable. Watch out for people passing by with VERY large animals... aka, dogs, snakes, etc. b) Thurs/Fri/Sat night hangout: This is the people-watching place. When the Grove is packed, Greenstreet is out of out hand! You can't get a table, they even have guardrails up to keep you out of the street. But, on a quieter weekend evening, you can sit, have a nice bottle of wine, and enjoy some simple appetizers: fruit and cheese platter, the mediterranean platter with humus and pita, or a well-portioned salad. The wine selection is good and reasonably priced so you can even enjoy a bottle. Really enjoyable without the meat market crowd.

Marilyn E.
Great place for Sunday brunch, people watching and mimosas, I loved the outdoor seating. The food was good especially the mushroom pizza, we had an excellent waitress named Stephanie she was on top of her game! Considering it was packed she gets 5 stars! I love great service, food and ambiance.

I have had several business breakfasts here, and this is a lovely place, with a nice menu varitey for breakfast, excellent service, great people watching, and generally good vibe. I highly recommend it..... I had the banana pancakes and were perfect- cafe con leche, also perfect, wIfi while I waited and the best waiter ever

Come with an appetite, time, and a desire for al fresco. During Sunday brunch, you'll be in for a wait, but well worth it. The time you wait for table is made up by how fast you're served. They gave a generous portion of nova (salmon) eggs benedict with potatoes --delicious. The pancakes looked amazing, but I don't think it would have fit on our bistro table or our stomachs. Seating is outside and the tables are close enough to hold conversations with others, if you like that sort of thing. Lastly, this place is pup friendly...Lily and Pixie approve.

This place is extremely over hyped. The brunch fair was like bad room service. The eggs Benedict were horrible from the sauce to the potatoes. The fruit salad was old and slimy. The OJ was NOT fresh squeezed. This was my first and last time.

GreenStreet Cafe is a good crowd pleaser. They've got something for everyone, even someone who is vegan and gluten-free. There are enough items on the menu for a vegan who is also sans gluten not to feel too boxed in by limited options. We went for breakfast so this will color this review. The potatoes are fried in peanut oil so they're 'safe', The generous fruit plate and melon plates are also a good choice. The tomato, grits, oatmeal with cranberries or raisins and museli to the same tune were also lovely. They didn't have soy milk for the coffee (they normally do and their soy lattes are AMAZING!) but the coffee was still great. Omnivore friends said their eggs were "perfect". The omelete also seemed to please.The service was fast which is typical. We didn't have to wait for a table of 4 which per past experience is a little unusual. Everything was clean and done simply but well. I wouldn't go for myself but it's a good restaurant for groups with mixed dietary needs.

If you've never been to Green Street and you live in Miami, you are living under a sad, sad rock. Green Street is the perfect place for breakfast, lunch, weekend crunch (crunk brunch), dinner and drinks! My favorites are the omelettes, mimosas (obviously), the goat cheese salad, and the tofu vegetable stirfry. The best time to go in my opinion is a sunday at noon. Expect a wait but it will be packed with cyclists, see or be seen types, families, hungover partiers... You name it, they're there. Night time is also a favorite. Half priced bottles of wine on mondays and great happy hour specials. Their mediterranean plate is to die for, too, and great for a monday night post-gym monday funday that is a must for my girl friend and I! Any day, any time, any company, green street is f-amazing! I am flabbergasted that its rated with 3.5 stars overall. Don't let that discourage you-- GO!

I didn't get a great impression of this place. Service was extremely slow and our table was dirty when we sat down until 7 min later that someone finally came to clean it. No even a hello. Drinks were Ok. Nothing special. Food is also OK. Overrated. There are a bunch of better places to spend this kind of money. Bah.

GreenStreet cafe is a good place to have lunch, specially if you like people watching....sitting outside always makes for a great lunch date. It's also a really good place if you are a vegetarian, they have some great appetizers like the lentil salad and the grilled asparagus, and some great salads and veggie wraps for entrees. If you go and their soup of the day is Ginger-Carrot YOU MUST TRY A BOWL!! its delicious...but for the most part, its nothing out of this world, the prices are really steep for what they offer, and if you sit inside for whatever reason the service tends to be slower. Also it feels stuffy in there because of the velvet decor. Overall its probably one of the best places to eat at the Grove, but I probably wouldn't go there more than twice a year.

Jacob C.
This place is really great...and super laid back. I love going here and sitting out at the tables on the sidewalk and have some drinks and food. The food quality at GreenStreet is really good...and it is a nice alternative when you want to get something a little healthier after a late night in the grove instead of fast food or something else that isn't too healthy for you. They have a really good drink special on Wednesday's...$5 Dewars 12 or Black Label. Give this place a try if you want a place to get a good bite to eat with good drinks thats really laid back and you can enjoy the ambiance of the grove.

Because I've only been here for breakfast, I can't say anything about their lunch or dinner offerings. However, I must say that their breakfast is great. Its not too pricey, and decent portions. Everything they do, they do pretty well, though I haven't been overwhelmed or had a "Wow" moment while eating there. The eggs benedict was good, the sauce wasn't broken(unlike another grove breakfast spot), but it wasnt anything extraordinary. The banana pancakes were pretty good, though for a full order, they give you only one small PACKAGE of syrup. 2 things. Packaged syrup? Even IHOP has warm syrup that they bring out. And as much as I love a great pancake, if you dont have enough syrup, whats the point. If I'm paying 9 dollars for pancakes, you could at least give me enough syrup to put on them...and not charge $1.25 for another serving of it. Shameful, really. Despite it all, what makes this place stand out is the ambience. There's something hugely satisfying about sitting outdoors on a weekend morning watching the world wake up. Its just a beautiful place to be in the morning and eating a decent meal. If you have an opportunity, take a loved one and head out there one morning. You won't be sorry.

horrible!!! disgusting and greasy! everything is terrible here! smell , look/style deco... I can't still understand why there is so much people at this place ! how people can write positive review on this crappy place! I had a Cajun Chicken Breast on a Bun .... my Gosh... the chicken was dry and tasted like old , the "homemade" CajunBlend was, in fact, from a plastic bottle or a can... The waiter had a horrible smell like he didn;t took a shower for 3 days... I went to the toilet... yeark!!!!!! and the smell inside the restaurant was a mixe between old water and chlorox and urine ... was my worst experience. Prices are ok , but still expensive for what you have to try to eat! In the Grove you have better place with real kitchen and chef , like Jaguar , Le Bouchon or George's . Greenstreet Cafe is a blurry copy of News Cafe

Green Street is a dirty little place with numerous Board of Health violations; check out the channel 10 news website for the facts. The lamb burger though is excellent and it's a good place for people watching outdoors; this place is focal point in the grove based on the geometry of the streets but offset from Coco Walk. The place is dark at night. Like dinning in the dark. Guests, if you want to see the menu, bring a flashlight--"for reals." Come on--install some lighting and show off your food and service. Make it happy. The interior of the place really needs a good bleaching to kill all the bacteria and some remodeling, including the use of light fixtures rated at more than 5 watts/hour. Did I mention it was dirty? Every time I eat there I remember the Russian Roulette scene in the movie The Deer Hunter. "Maow!!! Maow!!!" Disturbing. :0) It has free WiFi, which is very cool.

Green Street gets an average rating from me because I can think of 10 better restaurants I'd rather eat at for the same price or less. Plus, the menu is so generic that there really is nothing to differentiate it or justify the cost.

It's late, it's Sunday night, we had the munchies, and an urge to be in a place that's a ALIVE with people - the night never ends at Greenstreet... Or just maybe you won't remember how it ended. Either way big red chairs at Greenstreet saved our night as we enjoyed some wine and savory hummus w/ warm pita while watching over the late night shenanigans in Coconut Grove.

It's very refreshing to know that their are waitresses that genuinely care about the quality of my outing. I would definitely recommend coming here because it's a lot of fun and the staff is dedicated to making sure that you have a memorable experience.

Went to Greenstreet last week for the first time and I would have to say that overall I had a great experience. I was surprised at how packed this place was on a weekday during the day. The food recommended by my waitress, Rebecca, was phenomenal. I am in love with the Nutella french toast!!! The only reason I didn't give a rating of 5 stars was because the food took a little longer than expected but our waitress was on top of it the whole time and kept us laughing while we waited. We will definitely be coming back for the Cinnamon pancakes. Great place to eat!!!

I honestly don't understand the hype about this place. The breakfast is alright- plus it's terribly overpriced. Food is not creative nor imaginative. Though our waiter was really nice it couldn't save this place from suffering the crime of most Miami hyped eateries. Pros: outdoor seating, pet friendly. Cons: overpriced fare, bland food, no fans- it's south florida for chrissakes!

My daughter wanted to celebrate her birthday here with her friends so I took her. Since it was weeknight there were plenty of tables inside. The people were very friendly and attentive. The appetizers, drinks, food and desserts were great. All the plates of food that we ordered were great. You can't go wrong with any of their plates. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Have lived in the grove for 5+ years and greenstreet is always a favorite for drinks, dinner, and brunch. One Tuesday, my friends and I had a hankering for Indian food and decided to get a drink first at green street. Much to our dismay, Bombay darbar was closed (typically closed on Tuesday). While at the bar deciding what to do next and voicing our disappointment, the bartender suggested an off menu dinner item that must be included on the menu. Chicken piccata with the curry sauce (from the ravioli) over basmati rice. It was to die for. Dined again late last night and asked the waitor to see if the chef would accommodate this meal again, to which he happily complied. Our waitor suggested that if we post on yelp our chances of this delicious chicken dish may become a regular item on the menu. Please green street owner(s) add this deliciousness :)

I went there a couple nights ago with my mom and had such a great experience. Our food was delicious. I had the short ribs and my mom had the salmon. I never eat salmon but the sauce they put on it make it's amazing. We also shared the Brie starter which was so good. We experienced great customer service from Justin. He had such a good personality and was very knowledgable about the menu. It was my first time actually dining there and I'll definitely be back!

Mediocrity, a term we have all gotten used to. Also a term this place has gotten more than comfortable with. Falling into what I call the "tar pit" that most restaurants fall into, Greenstreet charges premium prices for mediocre food and service. The drinks are pricey and easily beat anywhere in the grove. I know that the grove is up and coming but it's still a questionable place to chill. A bus trip from UM, expect the whole area to flood with drunk and horny college students Tuesday-Saturday after 9pm. My suggestion? Screw it, why try with Greenstreet

Brought the whole family here for Brunch on Memorial Day. They gave us a wait time of 45 minutes but we were seated in about 15 minutes. The server was attentive and gave good recommendations.. The food was tasty and well prepared. No real complaints.. the only drawback is pricing.. we spent about $22 per person.. which is a bit pricey for breakfast.

Whether you want brunch or dinner, Greenstreet is a failsafe in miami. Their french toast is one of the best in town and their salmon is cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is vibrant and the wait staff is quick and friendly. If you have to wait anytime at all it is worth it.

I've lived in the Grove for over a decade and this place has been a staple. Menu hasn't changed much in that time. Staff of course has turned over a bit. The current staff is a bit hit or miss. The food is good, omelettes drenched in butter, french toast nice and crispy, don't expect healthy in terms of preparation but do expect good in terms of taste. The level of butter used is sure to get your arteries screaming but maybe that's why people love it so much. Drinks are the real reason I love this place. The Bloody Mary's are some of the best I've had. Some say it's the best breakfast in the Grove, expect a long wait on Sunday's and holidays. Friendly atmosphere from the bar staff inside they take the time to get to know you, when you pull up a bar stool it's like coming home.

Located in the middle of the Grove, all outdoor seating. A friend and I stopped in for Happy Hour and dinner. I had been here before for breakfast which was very good. We decided to sit in the lounge area outside which was nice other than they really need to clean or get new furniture. From the weather and being outside the couches were stained badly. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. They do not have a great happy hour. Basically no food just beer specials and two dollars off wine by the glass and well drinks for I believe $6. I ordered a couple of glasses of wine and my friend ordered vodka and pineapple which she said tasted like water. I would have sent it back asking for more vodka please. Happy hour does not mean, skimp on the alcohol. As I looked at the menu, nothing was really sparking my interest. Burgers, pizza, wraps, salads and pasta dishes were basically it. I found their prices to be high. It felt like the beach prices. I ordered a salmon salad at $16. Once we received our food, my salmon was fresh, grilled with nice seasonings, fresh lettuce and very good dressing. I enjoyed my salad very much. We enjoyed our dinner, and service was great. Although my salad was very good, it is not a place I would come out of my way to come to. Mainly for me because of their menu selection and prices. I have never been a fan of the Grove. Most restaurants here are high priced and food is average at best.

If I could have 10 stars on this place I would. Where should I begin? Breakfast: I'm a regular there and usually have bagel with cream cheese and a side of potatoes. coffee in a to go cup and a diet coke.....this is AMAZING!! There chocolate chip pancakes are FIRE and scrambled eggs with ham, out of this world. Lunch: My favorite chicken wrap with fries!!!!!!!!! Those thin slice fries you just want more and more. Dinner: I usually have the Penne chicken pasta. Really good, it comes in a pink sauce which is incredible. I go there at least once a week and every time I go my expectations are met. Alex the manager is always greeting customers while still running the restaurant to the max. He is really friendly and always makes sure the customer is happy. Justin is an amazing waiter. I get there he already knows exactly what I want. My husband was impressed one morning when we arrived, he thought that something was up because no had welcomed us at the table but it was that Justin saw us come in and when he came to welcome us he had already in hand my diet coke, coffee in a to go cup and two glasses of water!!!!! 10 stars for Justin. Overall this place is my ultimate favorite. I can live off of GREENSTREET my whole life. I enjoy this place sooooooo much I purchased the shirts that the waiters and waitresses wear!!!

The food was great, but Justin, our server, was extremely kind, provided us with excellent customer service and gave us a detailed description of the entrees, which really pushed the dining experienced over the top. He is a real pro!!! We had not visited the restaurant for a while, but we will definitely be back soon.

Great food, location, and service, cant really think of anything negative to say, would likely give this 4.5 stars, only because the food was delicious, but wasnt wow, but still a great and tasty meal! SEATING: Relaxing place to have a meal or a couple of drinks with a small group of friends. They have both outdoor or indoor seating, with either regular tables or velvet couches to sit on. The outdoor seating was nice but table was rather small, but still managed to fit all 4 of our entrees though. STAFF: The waiter was very attentive as well as helpful with recommendations. He even picked up when we mentioned it was my hubby's birthday and put in a surprise for him without us requesting it, which was super nice of him. DRINKS: My hubby has been on a quest to find a good mojito for quite sometime, and always ends up disappointed, but not here, he was really pleased with his mojito here! They also have Happy Hour twice a day, and different specials for each day (e.g., Monday, it was 1/2 off bottles of wine). APPETIZERS: We got the fried calamari which was the perfect combination of crispy but not heavy or greasy feeling. ENTREES: We each got one of the day's specials as well as a salad. The prices were a bit high, but not outrageous ($16-23), with the quality of the meals well worth the price range. We shared a goat cheese salad, which came with fried goat cheese, it was a good dish to share rather than as a single person's meal. I got the New Zealand lamb, which was very tender, well-seasoned and flavorful without being too salty, and paired well with their mashed potatoes. My husband got the NY steak, which was also very tender and flavorful but wasnt too bloody, which was perfect. Lastly, we got the lobster ravioli, which I thought was a reasonable price ($16), comparable to new england restaurants for a similar dish. It came in a creamy pink sauce that wasnt overly rich. LOCATION: The location looked really fun too, definitely want to come back again to check out all the various shops around!

I went here to eat on a Friday night with my boyfriend. We were seated right away and thankfully the weather was nice outside. As a mushroom lover, I ordered the Mushroom Triangoli and was pleasantly surprised! So delicious! My boyfriend had the Lamburger, one of his all-time favorites. What made everything perfect was our waiter, Zac. He was so funny, friendly an on top of things and made our experience that much better! We will definitely ask for him in the future.

I don't spend a lot of time in the Grove, so was glad to discover a GreenStreet with some friends. It was very nice to able to walk into a bar and get a table outside at 10PM on a Saturday night. We mostly had drinks, so I'll have to update the review after trying more menu options. We ordered in time for the dinner menu. I think they start the late night menu around 11, but time gets hazy after our veggie pizza and cocktails. As you may imagine from my previous sentence, the drinks were poured well and our server was really attentive (and friendly).

Great drinks. Great service. Our waitress , Chelsea , takes the best care of us. She always knows our order and has a smile on her face. We only like to sit in her section because the service is unbeatable. She is always on top of it and takes amazing care of us. I strongly recommend. Ask for Chelsea. You won't be sorry.

Love the inside ambiance and outside seating. Food is fine, however pretension billows throughout the place. I live in the neighborhood, if I didn't I'd skip this place, however since I'm here I have enjoyed it on rare occasions. I prefer several other grove breakfast spots alot more.

Waiting with 4 people for a table for 15 mins, got a text that my table was ready. As I approach the hostess, someone arrives with 5 peole, they give my table for that person right away because they had a 5 people table ready, then they kept me waiting for another 5 min and offered me a table in the sun or wait another 5 mins. I decided not to wait and not to come back.

The ambiance is above par, cuisine when prepared and delivered as ordered is quite delicious, service is not consistent. I have been here numerous times and have had a vastly different experience each time. Twice for brunch the server was changed mid shift which caused my party's order to be forgotten. A few times service has been exceptional and the kitchen doesn't prepare the meat the right temperature. If the balance between service and food preparation was in sync this place could be a 10.

Gayle M.
The service was really a pleasure. I made a menu observation to the waiter, which could be construed as a complaint. What impressed me was the excellent way in which this was handled by the waiter, Dwight and Manager, Sean. Absolute professionals with their first-rate customer service. They both remained calm and pleasant throughout our discussion with no defensiveness. The food was very good -- I had the smoked dolphin with mashed potatoes (potatoes were great !). Oh yes, the flatbread was a light and tasty "pizza-like" concoction; light on the cheese with caramelized onions that made it delish ! I have gone to GreenStreet for years and always pleased with service and food. Glad they're still around.

***WARNING - POSSIBLE TRIGGERS AHEAD*** Came here for lunch the other day and was scanning over the menu wondering what to get. Then I saw IT, one of the worst triggers I could ever encounter, and all of a sudden was transported back to my own personal hell. I was surrounded by a massive crowd of people tossing their hideous "boo's" and jeers and cat-calls my way. The shame was intense. The feelings, dreadful. I started shaking like a leaf (yeah, my leaves shake, that's right). My palms grew sweaty and clammy and I grasped blindly for the linen napkin. My boss looked across the table to me and said "What the hell, Ian?" I stabbed my finger toward the menu and mouthed two words: "Chicken Tetrazzini." You see, I am no stranger to the day-time tabloid talk show, and the reference brought me back to that horrible day when I was tricked by my girlfriend, my mistress, my ex-wife and my incestuous cousin (I only did that once, geez, lay off with the judgment) who all happened to be pregnant with my bastard love-children into appearing on the Laura show. I thought I was going for a job interview but was instead led onstage to an ambush. It was horrible. I was held down in a chair by two beefy Mexican-looking fellows and slapped repeatedly. Unable to physically defend myself I could only shake my head and weakly mutter "aye dios, por favor el culo." I was suddenly stirred from my miserable memories by the waiter dropping some warm bread off at our table. I looked up and stared directly into his beady eyes and with only one small quiver of my lower lip stated "I'll have the chicken tetrazzini." My friends, it was fabulous. Have you guys ever had chicken tetrazzini before? That's some good shizz.

Yay! I am a fan, that summarizes it pretty much. While hanging out in one of my favorite area in Miami (Coconut Grove), we made our way to this place for a light, middle of the day lunch; recommended by a friend. Parking is fairly easy on-street and there are a lot of outdoor seating. I had the salmon salad with was great. It is hard to give me a culinary orgasm (pardon my french) with a salad but at the same time it is very easy to make an horrible one. All green produce were fresh and organic while the salmon was also very high quality and cook to perfection. I like mine very grilled on the outside and pink/rare on the inside. This hits the spot. Add to that beautiful and trendy people walking around, friendly staff and good ambiance. That's about all the ingredients you need for a wonderful lunch.

In the memory book of my life, GreenStreet is in the chapter filled with blurry nights and alcohol. I'd never really tried this place in the daylight, and much less sampled it's food. I had always heard that brunch here was a must-try... so this Sunday, I tried it. We were a group of 5.5 (a small dog was involved) and we were seated in about 20 minutes after meeting at 12:30p - which was surprising because I heard the wait can be a pain. Ordered the standard mimosas while waiting in the big red velvet couches along the sidewalk. Brunch was banana chocolate pancakes. Go ahead and sing along to the Jack Johnson song - because that's how happy it made me. Service was great - we were never rushed, and they didn't mind splitting the check 5 ways. It was a very leisurely afternoon, in the shade but still enjoying the beautiful weather. Glad to add GreenStreet to a more grown-up chapter in my life. :)

They say pride is hard to swallow but disappointment has much more lasting and unappealing aftertaste. And that's what I got served at Green Street a big old portion of disappointment to go along with my duck salad and Mediterranean plate appetizer. I recently came for lunch but I was sadly surprised to find the menu has changed and not for the best. Some familiar favorites are gone and in their places there seems to be nothing. These changes have more than ever before cemented Green Street as a place for cocktails and mediocre food.

Laura S.
Greenstreet Cafe is fantastic! Four of us went last night for dinner. The service was very attentive and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the pesto ravioli, which I loved. My entire party raved about their entrees. The decor is also fabulous, they have red velvet loveseats, inside and out. I will be returning to Greenstreet Cafe as soon as possible.

I had lunch here yesterday... and dinner...as well as brunch a couple of weeks ago and the verdict is in. Don't come here unless it's for drinks, brunch or want to people watch! The food is just blah. I've never been happy with any meal other than breakfast. The banana chocolate pancakes hit the spot. The potatoes are great and eggs with jerk spice - tasty. If you decide to stop by on a weekend for brunch, don't show up hungry! Everyone in town comes here for breakfast/brunch and there's always a long wait. So put your name on the list and go for a stroll or order a Bloody Mary, sit on one of their comfy couches and sip... Slowly.

I love the location first of all. Right on a busy corner in the Grove you see all these red velvet couches and cute little lamps, it looks so inviting! I usually go for drinks but the other day I went for lunch and was actually impressed. We sat at the outside bar and I split a salad (added chicken) with my girlfriend and it filled us both up and we were quite pleased! They didn't charge for extra tomato's or extra dressing (gotta appreciate that now-a-days!) It was the Mesclun Endive Salad which has apples and ohh its just too good to pass up! I had no idea this would prove to be a good spot to dine, but now I must try it for dinner :0)

Celia M.
One of my favorite places to have breakfast by far! Not only is it around ten minutes from my house but they always have a table ready and I've never had to wait. Definitely try Steve's Banana Pancakes, and any of their breakfast platters with their small, yet fulfilling potatoes, and toast. The staff is always accommodating and friendly. Although the Grove is resting in peace due to the influx of Midtown and Brickell, this place is always oozing with locals and tourists. It's a big hit in my book!

I wish there was a - star. It wasn't my choice to eat at this restaurant. I want to let you all know how this place is run. I'm happy that they're all honest, but their honesty just upset me. I will never go back to Green Street on a Sunday. Actually,I may never go back. We waited for over and hour and half for Sunday brunch. The hostess walked us to our table and realized that her manager had just sat people at our table. She explains what happened. The manager gave our table away to customers that dine there often. Apparently he was instructed by the owner to seat weekly customers first. Really?? This is the worst customer service. He should have lied. It may have been better. He tried to backpedal by offering us 50% off our bill and we would have to wait for the next 6 person table. Well.. He's has lost our business and we take our party of 6 to Lulu's. There wasn't a wait, the food is amazing and the service was wonderful. Thanks to our server Christina and the servers that made sure our coffee and water was always filled to the top. GreenStreet- get a need a new manager and tell your owner how business should be done. Btw, I won't be dining at either of these restaurants again. GreenStreet and Lulu's are the same owner. Never again! I'm disgusted with the way they handle customers.

Megan D.
I could sit here all day...the food is always good, the drinks are always spot-on. If I'm gonna do an entree, it's gonna be their salmon salad for lunch/dinner...brunch: eggs benedict - hands down. They have mimosa options that make my heart sing - anything with St. Germain in it makes me a happy girl, so gimme a Heavenly Street at my outdoor brunch table and I'm set. I'm all about people watching, and that corner is PERFECT for it.

Gustavo A. L.
My approach to this place is cautious enthusiasm, riding the coat tails of an excellent location, the have capitalized by making the place unique. Lazy Sunday afternoons in glorious Miami weather are priceless and usually very enjoyable here - the locals never dissapoint providing and endless source of entertainment, just watching them is pretty amusing in itself. Green Street - please don't let your popularity go to your head - good old fashioned customer service never goes out of style no matter how "hot" you are - but sometimes we encounter the informal server who feels insecure about their chosen mean to earn a living and in turn project it to the patrons.... Wrong ! I'll keep coming and updating the reviews so... we'll see... for now - 4 stars is appropriate reward for good food, and good location, oh yeah and reasonable prices in tourist trap coconut grove.

Good brunch and happy hour, terrible everything else. Unless its Whiskey Wednesday, Vodka Thursday or FREE champagne for ladies on Fridays then I won't go. You will see the occasional athlete here (definitely belonging to the Heat franchise) but the tables are so smooshed together that you'll only catch a glimpse from afar. The service is pretty slow and the drinks are pretty pricey but go for HH and you won't be disappointed.

Drew H.
I've been here for breakfast before which is REALLY good but also overpriced for what it is. I went here last night for drinks for the first time which were also way overpriced. The atmosphere is really cool with the giant sofas outside and dim lighting, The only reason I gave it a 3 and not a 4 was because how much they overcharge. I guess if you went here to drink happy hour would be a must. On Wednesday Nights they have a Johnnie Walker promotion: Black $4.50 Gold $7 Green $8 Blue $16

OMG. I had such high hopes for this restaurant-- the ambiance upon arrival is fantastic- the outdoor patio and such....and I had heard the food was very good. That said, suffice it to say I experienced truly some of the worst service EVER in my life here. I second what J.D. wrote when he/she said the people working there are like zombies. Truly. Our waitress had the personality of a plate. It took probably 10 minutes to get our drink order. One person in our party had arrived before us- she is pregnant and had asked for a certain soup to be brought out ASAP because she was feeling nauseous. After we arrived, it took another 10 minutes for her soup to arrive and......drumroll please.....it was cold!!! I took the soup up to the Droids working the front desk, told them what happened and it was as if I said, "hello. the sky is blue." NO REACTION. Probably no pulse. There appeared to be a "manager" figure walking around chumming it up with all the wait-staff-- a guy in a suit who appeared to be about 25 and clearly thinking he's the Ultimate Ladies Man. He never visited our table with all the problems we had. It seriously took over 45 minutes for our food to arrive and every time we asked our Stepford Waitress a question, she looked like she was lapsing into a coma. It PAINED me to leave her a tip. What a horrible joke of a restaurant. ;-(

After so many people telling me to try Greenstreet, I finally visited. And all I can say it... It was just ok. There's nothing special about the brunch here. The food took forever, the restaurant is really crowded and uncomfortable. Just wasn't what I expected for such a popular place.

This place is def a relaxing chill spot in coconut grove. I'm really a fan of those mod cool vintage red couches outside and the seating. This place is a chill atmosphere and always a good time! I've tried a few appetizers the hummus and some others.. it's decent food... Wed nights they have whiskey nights. It's Great to come with a group of friends on a relaxing night. Also, monday nights its half off bottle of wines which is a super good deal great idea for a date!! Out of all the spots in the grove this is def one of my fav places... :)

What better way to start your Sunday than with a bubbly brunch? A low key, outdoor/indoor cafe, this popular place is the go-to spot for brunch on the weekends. Adorned with funky chandeliers, and plush velvet couches, this lovely locale is amongst my favorites for breakfast. The prices are fair, the food is great, and the ambiance is fantastic. Like "Cheers" its a type of place where everybody knows your name.

I haven't been here in years but haven't forgotten how good the food is. Took advantage that I was meeting my brother at the grove to have lunch here. I had the lamb burger and he fish with rice and beans. Both things were outstanding. My burger was very savory and juicy. My brother's fish was soft and flaky and the rice and beans were very good. There is a reason why this place a big following and is one of the few places at the grove where you not onlu find turists but locals as well.

Dear GreenStreet, You are the Grove staple of my life. On you, I know I can count on not to be disappointed. So when the BF said he was starving on our way home yesterday, I knew EXACTLY where I wanted to eat. The weather was absolutely beautiful yesterday and for an August afternoon there was a nice, crisp breeze. So of course, I opted to sit on one of the couches outside, facing Main Highway for the people watching. Our waitress promptly came up to us and asked us what we wanted to drink. A wine menu quickly followed and she made some great suggestions. I went with a Malbec, and the BF had a Pinot Noir. We took some time to just enjoy the wine before we even opened the menus to satisfy our grumbling stomachs. Finally, I had to order before I passed out. LOL I decided to go with the Veal Scallopinis in a Porcini mushroom sauce. At first, I was a bit taken aback, because it was not the flavor that I was expecting. I had only ever had the Veal Scallopinis at Tango's down south, and they use a Marsala sauce. So I think my palate was confused. But the more I tried it, the more delicious it became. The creamy mushroom sauce was just delectable, and the crisp, thin french fries that were served as a side were just perfect drenched in this sauce. The BF ordered the Mushroom Triangoli dish with the same Porcini mushroom sauce. They were like little blue raviolis filled with mushrooms and topped with the creamy sauce. This was very tasty as well. However, I feel like I noticed a hint of "freezer" taste to it... Maybe it was me. The BF didn't say anything. But I tasted something just slightly off... GreenStreet, you always come through. We definitely enjoyed our dinner very much and the atmosphere was just perfect. I even like your new 24 @ 24 promotion (It's 24 different bottles of wine at the price of $24/bottle). :) Great touch. Thanks for everything. Best Regards, SabrinaAnna*

I think this is becoming my new favorite brunch spot. Town is great with the $15 unlimited mimosas but the food here was outstanding. I have been before and have had the pasta which was great but this time we tried the Nutella filled French Toast which was to die for! The Grove Goddess is also delicious. There is a bit of a wait but well worth it. I love the outdoor seating and decor of the restaurant.

Had dinner here on a Monday night. The environment was great. Love good outdoor dining. Had the hummus appetizer, very good considering it was just good ol' plain hummus. I had vegetable lasagna, delicious although I would have preferred less focus on the eggplant. My wife had the goat cheese pizza (and I had it again for lunch the next day) Good portions, enough for leftovers and a great place to meet up have dinner or drinks and enjoy what seems like a great little neighborhood.

I've been to Greenstreet with friends, but we always hang by the bar. It was only last week that I decided to have dinner there with a friend, and I have to say nomnomnom!! Datpasta.jpg It was so good! I remember looking at the menu and seeing an unrecognizable name on the list, with the ingredients "mushroom" and "a creamy sauce" (that's what she said). That's when I stopped reading and decided to order that, and ordered some chicken with it. It was amazing! The most delicious pasta I've had in a while. (I have no idea if the fact I was starving had anything to do with this). The portions were big, so I couldn't finish the whole meal. I took half with me when i went to visit a friend, and I had to have her try some (she ate the whole thing). It was that good. P.s. I found the name of the meal it was the " Mushroom Triangoli, filled with mushrooms, creamy porcini sauce" Try it, you won't regret it. (Unless you don't like mushrooms, in which case you might regret it, but then why would you even order it if you know you don't like mushrooms? I mean seriously...)

This became our group's favorite bar at night during our weekend stay nearby. Great atmosphere, they played this music track that had such classic hits (Aerosmith, Journey, etc.), friendly waitstaff and trendy interior (such cute Victorian chairs!), not too crowded, mixed crowd. Only downside was drinks could get a bit pricey ($10/shot), but well worth price for such an enjoyable time. Highly recommend!

It's about time I updated my review, as somehow I've ended up at Greenstreet almost weekly as of late. You can't beat the outstanding outdoor seating and red velvet benches (although they could use a good scrubdown). Prices are definitely inflated ... but it's the Grove, and with this place, it's all about location. They have happy hour from 5-7, M-F, decent prices on drinks (no food on happy hour), but I've found the mixed drinks to be pretty watered down. In terms of the menu, I'm all about the salads, and they're nice enough to make them into a wrap for me from time to time. I especially recommend the fig salad - perfect mix of sweet & savory with the figs and the aged cheese. Yum! I like this place, but honestly, there's nothing particularly exceptional about it (except for their brunch - which is outstanding). The places are a little too high, and for happy hour, I'd rather do Lulu's, right across the way, since they include food for their HH. But, Greenstreet is a staple, and an extremely pleasant place to while away an afternoon or evening in the Grove. PS: They are dog friendly, LOVE it! They give you snack mix when you sit down, which, while nice, is addictive. :)

Came here for brunch and was very very satisfied. I'm not usually a breakfast/brunch person, but this place has turned me into a changed man. I got the cream cheese, spinach, chicken omlett with breakfast potatoes and it was amazing. I've never had an omlet that has made me say O-M-G, but this one did. The cream cheese went perfectly with the chicken and spinach. Loved the ambiance as we sat outside in Coconut Grove. Service was super fast and friendly. A little on the expensive side, but well worth it.

This is probably my favorite place to go in The Grove. I love the food, I love the location, and I love the memories. The last time I went was right after the King Mango Strut this past year. At first I was kinda annoyed because they were so crowded that day that they sat us next to some really loud music, but then I realized it was King Mango Strut Day and started jammin' out to the loud music instead. Eventually my ears grew accustomed to the decibels. I've been here a few times and not once have I been disappointed. The service has always been great, even when it's insanely crowded. The food has always tasted delicious, even when I ordered plain pasta with nothing on it on my anniversary dinner because I had to get surgery a couple of days after. Weird, but true! My favorite thing to order here is the Pear and Endive salad with bleu cheese and walnuts- very refreshing! I feel ashamed because I keep hearing about how awesome their breakfast food is, yet I have never ordered it. I promise I will one day! Five stars for Green Street!

My fave!!! Whiskey Wednesday is the best! Also, great breakfast and they serve until 2:45pm. The wings are very yummy, and all the bartenders and servers are very friendly. You may even catch a celebrity or athlete dining.

Went for brunch on a Sunday with a group of six. It took quite a wait to be seated because it was full to capacity. The wait was worth it because you can order from the bar and stand to view the relaxed atmosphere of the Grove. The food was great, our waiter named Randy provided us with excellent service. Two of us kept taking pictures and the entire event was fun. My sister invited me as an extended birthday celebration and I am very grateful that she did. The company, conversation, and ambiance was very much to my liking.

We drove all the way down from Miami Shores to check this place out for breakfast. What a DISAPPOINTMENT! I ordered scrambled eggs with salsa. Well, the salsa came from a jar, the eggs from a carton...YUCH! I expect such a place to serve shell eggs and not be lazy and make salsa from SCRATCH....how many ingredients are there in Salsa, three or four only? Come on...!

Greenstreet has been a staple in the Coconut Grove for years. I was first introduced to this place a few years back while training for a run with my running group, who would rewarded themselves to Sunday brunch after a long run. The people in the group told me that they knew the chef, who was french, and that everything there was really good. So, I accepted the invitation still sweaty and tired from my morning run. It turned out that I wasn't the only one. On Sundays it is common to see people gathering for brunch after there morning workouts. The droves of bikers and runners venture out to this spot especially the people who have raced that day, and not to mention the walkers who also join in with their dogs. This spot has a great friendly environment and to be outside enjoying the day relaxing with a nice cup of coffee or a mimosa is a great end to my week. After that first day, I have been back, once for dinner, once for lunch, and once for drinks at night. I really have to stress that the food isn't phenomenal any other time than breakfast. I feel like the menu has a typical Italian cuisine with the typical meat entrees that every other restaurant offers in Miami. Drinks at happy hour or for a stop off before the clubs on the weekend is a better choice is your not going for brunch. Thursdays is college night and the rest of the weekend it seems to always be a good spot to chill and have a cocktail with some friends. The wait in the comfy sofa chairs and benches outside is a plus too. They at least make your wait enjoyable because sometimes on a Sunday when the wait can be over an hour, you need a good seat. So, go around lunchtime, get a mimosa or bellini at the bar and relax to take in the scene in at the Grove. The inside dining room is also interesting option, if the day is not the best weather to sit outside (which is where I prefer to sit), the non conventional seats and tables inside provide an interesting feel. It almost reminds me of a library, with the dark wood and the plush chairs. The service is always great. I have eaten there so many times and tried everything with no disappointments. I usually stick to any of the egg omelets or the banana pancakes. The apple turkey sausage is another item on the menu that I add to my brunch which is also a good addition. Of all the places that have come and go over the years in the Grove, this place has always stayed packed and in business. For me, it is one of the best places to have brunch on a Sunday in Miami.

Came here for brunch this morning with my best friends and it was amazing. The weather was close to perfect, so we decided to sit outside and enjoy it. I ordered a mimosa and the two egg meal, that comes with potatoes and toast. To top everything off, we decided to share their banana/chocolate chip pancakes. All the food was great, the atmosphere was awesome and the service was just as good. After brunch, we continued to take advantage of the weather and decided to check out some of the boutiques in the area. Definitely planning to come here again for brunch. You can park in either the pay-to-park street parking or in one of the many lots in the Grove. This place gets really packed, so plan to wait a bit for a table. However, there are great couches outside where you can lounge and have a cocktail.

A Grove staple, this place has probably the BEST brunch around. I love Green Street because everything is good. Food, drinks, atmosphere, service - it's got it all. You want a delicious place to enjoy a fresh lunch? Green Street. Looking for spot to meet up with the girls for a late night drink? Green Street. Need to take your in-laws to brunch? Green Street. Green Street has both indoor and outdoor seating. Tables provide you the sit-down feel, whereas comfy couches give you a spot to grab a casual drink. The outdoor bar is the perfect spot to grab a mimosa while you wait for your table. If you prefer to sit inside, you'll enjoy quirky decor, including a room full of books and throne-like chairs. To be honest, I've only had a few things on their menu, but that's not because it's limiting - it's just that their french toast is the only thing I need to make me happy! The best I've found in Miami! But my friends all swear by their omelets! And their potatoes are a fantastic and flavorful side that pairs with almost every dish. The bartenders know how to make a cocktail - everything is good! And their iced cappuccinos are not a bad way to cool down on a warm Miami day!

Coconut grove is a surprisingly quaint and economical place to enjoy dinner. It was wonderful to eat outside in January. Our server did a nice job of checking in with our table. I ordered the salmon with penne in a vodka Creme sauce. It was wonderful. I had expected a salmon filet with a side of penne, but instead my salmon was shredded and mixed in with the sauce. Everything was piping hot and my portion was so large I only are half. It was great! Only negative, my friend tried the classic burger and said it was nothing to rave about. The bun was a bit hard on the outside. Overall, my food was great and I would definitely go back!

Great restaurant! Great food, service, drinks, music, atmosphere! Awesome furniture to relax & chat w/friends. Big TVs for hanging to watch sports. All menus offer a variety. A MUST!!!
This is my favorite place for Sunday brunch in all of Miami. This is one of those spots that you always go back to because you want to try everything on the menu. Thats probably why most of the people that you find there are locals. Top picks: The smoothies (both mango and berry) are awesome, the chocolate french toast is insanely good, and the banana with chocolate chip pancakes are a must. Oh yea, the omelette's are pretty good too!

Great spot to sit outside and people watch. They've got a bunch of outdoor seating, they serve brunch too, I've never been for dinner but I have been there in the evening for drinks. Odd thing is, they're right next door to Senor Frogs(very lame) and the awnings that hang over Green Street say Senor Frogs on them. So, if you don't know, you think it's all Senor Frogs. They must fix that. The manager proudly parks his/her vintage Vespa Sprint right outside the place on the corner of Commodore Plz and Main Hwy. Very cool. Big props for that!

Eeh. I know that most people come here at night for drinks, and the location and ambiance is great, but I went here for breakfast, and it was only okay. I am a breakfast food person. You know, the kind that orders off of Denny's breakfast menu all day long. The food was mediocre; IHOP does better pancakes. When I go out, I want to eat something I can't do at home, or I want it done better. Next time, I'd stay home.

Green Street is the only reason that I still go to the Grove. I love the fact that it has indoor seating (for the extremely hot days) and outdoor seating for a nice open air dining experience with plenty of people watching. All of the brunch items here are pretty good. My favorites are the pancakes, eggs benedict, and my most recent discovery which is the goat cheese and spinach omelette. The service here is pretty good and the ambiance is great. I've also come for lunch and liked it as well. I had the blackened dolphin wrap. It was very tasty and fresh. Green Street also tends to get full on some weeknights but I've kind of outgrown the crowd. It's comprised of a lot of college/UM students and the guys who can't seem to shake the college mentality.

I was going to be in Miami for 2 days and heard that Joe's Stone Crab was the one place I had to check out, especially if I could eat on company money. Well, shortly after we landed, my coworker and I checked into our hotels and made a bee-line for Joe's. To our dismay, they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, which is the only two days we would be there... Since he had been to Miami before and this was my first time, he suggested that we check out Coconut Grove for some other eats. After getting a little bit lost, mainly because I left my GPS in my room, we found parking in a small $6 lot next to GreenStreet. We hung out there another good 5 minutes admiring the dark gray Aston Martin Vantage that we parked next to. In short, GreenStreet didn't have the crab legs we were craving, but it had a tasty-looking menu and very nice atmosphere. We initially sat outside but requested to move inside when the mosquitoes found me. The decor is very interesting and not what you would expect - dark red velvet seats and strange figurines all over the ceiling. What we ordered: * Warm goat cheese salad - split this between 2 of us as appetizer. first time I've ever had fried goat cheese and the salad dressing was a perfect complement. * Salmon with fennel sauce - fresh and a good size. slightly too dry around the outside where they blackened a very pretty grill pattern. * [some fish I can't remember] and lemon butter - this was their special for the day and I was offered to try a bite off my coworker's plate. wow I have never had anything lemony-er...the sauce is clearly made with some lemon concentrate or something because it was more sour than sucking on a fresh lemon. no idea how he ate all of it without getting sick.

I always end up finishing the night with my friends at this lounge. We always have a great time. We always get our favorite server Stephanie which makes the ambiance of the night even better. The drinks are great and my favorite which I highly recommend is the Mojito. The music is hip and its also great for people watching. They also have great specials on scotches on Wednesday which they call Whiskey Wednesday. This place is great for groups and even for a nice romantic night out. I definitely recommended this restaurant as a lounge.

Things seem to be changing here..and not for the better... (breakfast review) There are many great things about this place, namely the location and outside dining. Service is usually very friendly and the food is good; however, the portions seem to have shrunk and the quality isn't as good as I remember. Also, prices have increased. The outside tables could use an update as well. Things are looking a little dated here, especially compared to it's newer younger sister, lulu across the street. Will return but might think about checking another option instead next time.

Splitting a bottle of wine and picking at the Mediterranean Platter with big sunglasses and sundresses kind of reminded me of my days at University of Miami where I was carefree with money and a little bit of a spoiled snob on Daddy's dime. However, um, those days are over now. Thank god I wasn't picking up the tab because these days, I'm envious of how much money the busboy is making. I'm only half kidding. Good solid times, good food, good wine, good company, as always.

Green Street Cafe is a place to go to be seen and for drinks. While Green Street Cafe is always packed and full of people, the surrounding restaurants like Lulu were dead on a Tuesday night. It's a little supply and demand, and Green Street is always in demand. I suppose that's why I keep going, feels like a good night out. Went there for dinner and had the veggie lasagna, it was good, but never went past the wow factor. I have eaten there before and it has been most of the same.This restaurant has made themselves a Coconut Grove staple, while in reality not providing quality food.

This is a solid brunch place - a treat to spend some lazy late-morning girl time. If there's a wait, you can lounge on the cushy couches outside and grab any of their tasty drinks (Watermelon lemonade, frozen cappuccino, etc). The service is decent, as is the food. We had the cheese & mushroom omelet, bagel with everything, banana pancakes, and eggs to order. The pancakes were pretty fabulous, but the waitress asked if we wanted "Real Maple Syrup." Looking puzzled, she informed us that the default for the pancakes is artificially-flavored sugar syrup. Not cool Green Street. Not cool. The eggs & omelet were fine, but the potatoes stunk. Breakfast potatoes are one of my favorite things, but I left over half of these behind. Would I go back? Yes. But I'd try the grits instead of the potatoes as a side.

Elena I.
I loooooove this place! Very reasonably priced and their Eggs Benedict are truly the best I have ever had. If you order Steve's pancakes, make sure to tell them to add some chocolate chips as they really, really add that extra little something to the flapjacks. Oh, and their veggie omelet is also the best I've had. Dinner is great too. Great selection and large variety. I believe Monday nights you get 1/2 off wine bottles and I am always up for that!

Ambiance: Outdoors; busy in groups Food: Good Drinks: Didn't drink; full bar available We decided to go see a movie in the nearby Paragon Theater and have dinner near by. GreenStreet provides a street corner, outdoor ambience allows for smokers (cigarette and cigar) to be able to eat and drink. I am very anti-smoking, but thankfully the outdoor environment allows for clear air when the wind blows. The bar area is wooden with tall comfortable stools. The area is lightly lit with a wide variety of liquor selection. They run a special of free house champagne for ladies during the their first happy hour. They have a second happy hour from 11:30 pm to close (with last call at 3:00 am). As a scotch drinker, their prices are reasonable and they have a "basic" selection. I ordered the Blackend Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi) which was a good portion size and very filling . Bottom Line: Recommended

Went to Green Street with my boss after work to talk and hang out, and to use his groupon that was about to expire... we got there right during shift change so by the time we actually got someone to take our order 3 people had been to the table saying they were going to be right with us. Our order consisted of salsa, & hummus and two drinks I want to give green street more stars but i can't reach into my pocket and give out a 4 for stuff i can make at home. granted some might say well look at what you ordered, simple stuff, to which i would say hey if its on the menu it better be something better than what i can do myself otherwise why is it on the menu? Everything was ok. I would go back again, but this time i would sit inside, or at least away from the corner outdoor seating and order something that maybe i wouldn't make at home to really get a feel for this place

Although me and my friends always try to go to new places, somehow we always ended up spending our weekends here. Great place to seat have some drinks and catch up with friends and family.Their fries and burger are pretty good also I would've loved to give this place 5 stars by sometimes the male waiters tend to forget you exists, so be patient. Anyhow i love this place is cute, great location and you are always gonna have a great time.

Alex S.
My girlfriend loves GreenStreet and I think a lot of women do for that matter, but I just don't get it. It's pricy, the food's pretty good, but not worth it. The drinks are expensive, and the tables are cracked or chipped, they are too close together, and the floor inside is uneven. The bathrooms are cramped, and it just doesn't look nice enough to justify the price. If you are a lady, read the ladies' reviews, I'm sure they're great. But as a man, I can find a much better place to hang out in the grove just a stone's throw away. I will say, the service has been pretty good every time I've been, and they do drink specials that make it worthwhile on occasion.

Lots of good times and good memories come from Greenstreet. When I first moved to Miami in 2002 I landed in the Grove, stranger in a strange land. Greenstreet was a place I could go and read a book and not feel like a lonely loser. Then when I made friends and starting going out socially, Greenstreet was one of the stops on our bar-hop. Seven years later you can catch me there most Friday evenings having free champagne (ladies only!) from 5-8. The food is good too. And breakfast on the weekends is so awesome it's almost impossible to get a table. I love the bolognese and the cheese plate! One creepy thing I learned whilst a Grove native (and confirmed by a bartendar on staff) is that the owner has closed-circuit camera's running from the restaurant/bar directly into his home. But I guess that's just "quality control."

Barry M.
We have to give this 5 stars because for the little that we ate, it was awesome. Fresh outside seating even in August!!! Warm fresh rye rolls, just out of the oven. Goat cheese tomato pizza that my wife and I shared. I can't say anything bad about the pizza, thin crust, warm, easy to knife and fork or just fold. Fresh ground pepper and cheese offered for pizza. Not greasy. For this I award 5 stars because the little we asked for was served excellently. Service was impeccable...very friendly staff.

Christine I.
A Coconut Grove staple, this quaint corner restaurant is one of my all time favorites. Not only are their red plush outdoor couches fun to sit in, but their food is amazing! My personal favorite is the Mediterranean platter for dinner and their goat cheese and tomato omelet for brunch. I have dreams about that omelet! If you get seated right away, the service is usually fast and you get to enjoy a beautiful meal on an active sidewalk corner. The perfect start or end to any day!

Janine R.
I can't believe I've never written a review on this famed Miami spot. Greenstreet cafe is definitely a place for locals to gather on either Whiskey Wednesdays or ladies night on Thursdays. If you plan on meeting up with friends and lounging out, I recommend coming here and hanging out by the infamous red sofas. Besides having great drink specials, the food is decent and their brunch seems to be the talk of town. The service is usually good, unless you piss off one of the waitresses on hand. It gets really busy on Wednesday and Thursday nights as well as Saturday and Sunday mornings. Greenstreet Cafe is one of those places that you know you can come to and just have a fun night.

After a three year hiatus from GS, I came here for an early Mother's Day dinner so my husband could try it out. I didn't remember much about it since it had been so long, but I did remember leaving with a less than stellar impression after an average brunch experience. Luckily, Green Street redeemed itself with great service and much more palatable food! We started off with some hummus and pita bread, which was plentiful and satisfying. As an entree, I had the Shrimp Pasta - to DIE for (could've done with a little more shrimp, though)! My husband opted for (surprise, surprise), their cheesburger which he devoured with no complaints. And as an added bonus, we got a free dessert just for checking in on Yelp! The waiter suggested the Tiramisu, and by this time I couldn't even tell you how good it was because I was just so ridiculously stuffed and content. So yeah, if you haven't made an inference by now, I'll just spell it out for you - t r y t h i s p l a c e o u t! Happy eating!

I've been living in Miami way too long to actually never come here. The day was gorgeous yesterday so we decided to take the girls (aka, our two yorkies) out for brunch and since GreenStreet has outdoor seating and allows dogs, off we went. The wait when we got there was about 45 minutes, which was okay-- They have a bunch of old-fashioned couches lined up the street where you can sit and wait. We waited maybe 20 minutes--- their service is very quick so people finished eating rather fast. The one thing I didn't like was that the tables are pretty close together and there were way too many big dogs, so I had to watch mine more than I normally would- not that this is Greenstreet's fault-- but I want other owners of smaller dogs to be aware. The food came out very fast. We literally sat down and were out in 30 mins tops. The manager was standing by us, giving orders to the hostesses and busboys via radio... While it was annoying to hear him, it was clear that he had the place in check, which was demonstrated in their quick service. I also found the bill to be pretty cheap, at $27 for 2. I will probably be back to GreenStreet to try their pancakes or french toast which I didn't get to-- but next time I will definitely leave the pups at home.

Let me start off by telling you that the french toast at this place is deeeeelicious!!!!!! And if you like chocolate then the chocolate french toast is for you. I staying in miami with my sister for a couple days and this place was right outside of her building and i got breakfast from here two days in a row. It might be a bit pricey but it is def worth going.

Classic Coconut Grove institution. Food is ok and the service can be slow at times but this place to me is the real Miami. If you're a true native, you're here all of the time. Great spot to watch the games. Brings back so many great memories of hell raising in my youth.

I haven't been here for a while, but had a "power breakfast" at Greenstreet's last week. Normally I don't do power breakfasts, but it was a nice day and we had a table outside. This is a great breakfast and weekend brunch spot as you can do some serious people watching. My friend had the french toast and it was a very generous portion - even he couldn't finish it. The food is good, the service is good and the ambiance is classic Grove. What's not to like??

I've been punched in the face twice in my life. One was when I bet a midget he couldn't do it (I'm 6'3"), and the other was the great punch I felt when I had some pancakes at GreenStreet Cafe. They were banana pancakes. They were so delicious. It's a little strange that I had to ask for "real" maple syrup though. A condiment like that should be standard fare at any place that prides itself in breakfast and doesn't rhyme with Jenny's. I made a joke to the waitress about how "Steve's banana pancakes" take on a whole new meaning if you add a strategically placed pause. She laughed, and even though I noted it was forced laughter at my borderline sexual harassment, I appreciate that sort of go-getter attitude for a bigger tip. The pancakes tasted like world peace and legalized prostitution. The syrup, on the other hand, tasted like violence and mortgage fraud. I wasn't aware that I had to special-order the maple syrup until after I had the taste of assets and liabilities in my mouth. The palatableness of the pancakes evened things out though, so I was still able to enjoy things. I pointed out the riotous zing of high-fructose corn syrup to the waitress and she was willing to bring out a whole new batch of pancakes with maple syrup and not charge me for the syrup. I declined because I was in a hurry to be late for work for the third time that week, but I welcomed the effort. At night the place takes on a whole new atmosphere. I always think to myself, "if I want to see someone with a popped collar and a visor, GreenStreet is the place to go." I'm never let down. There's no single place on earth where you'll find more IDs with the names Chad, Rusty, Hunter, Tucker, Chase, Todd, Logan, Grayson, Ian, Dean, and Casey. The only exception being a John Mayer concert. Or a frat party. If I remember correctly though, you'll find 2-for-1 specials on beers after 11, so that's cool. I've only munched on nachos at night in that spot. They serve Guinness, so you know the bar is good. Guinness can make anything special. It's like glitter. If you have a packet of glitter there's nothing you can't fix. Does your niece have an art project due in her kindergarten class tomorrow morning? Glitter. Is the party not lively enough? Glitter. Did someone poop in the wall urinal again? Glitter. Is Mariah Carey's career stagnating? Glitter: The film. The possibilities are endless indeed. If you've got time in the morning for breakfast that isn't in a cardboard box with a navy man who hasn't been promoted to rear admiral in over 46 fucking years, give GreenStreet a shot. PEOPLE WHO WOULD ENJOY IT: Pancake lovers; breakfast lovers in general; all of UM. PEOPLE WHO WOULD NOT ENJOY IT: All of FIU.

I absolutely LOVE this place! We have Sunday brunch here every Sunday. We love Amy and Emily at the bar. They always greet you with a smile and great service. The managers are also always very pleasant and come say hello and make sure everything is ok. I decided to go for lunch since I have never really been there except for brunch. The food was amazing. I started with a cup of the zuchini/basil soup which was so delicious. I learned that they don't use cream but chicken stock so it's low fat (bonus!) For an entree I had the fig salad and substituted the cheese with goat cheese. Probably one of the best salads I have had. Only down side is that it didn't come with a protein like chicken or fish, but you can easily add that. For dessert, I highly recommend the tres leches...HMMMMMMM! I left very happy and with a full tummy! :)

I didn't want to like this place. I was secretly hoping it wasn't that good so I could throw it in friend's faces when they talked about it. I was wrong, at least about breakfast. Came here on a Sunday morning with the Big Girl and we were not disappointed. I ordered an omelet with bacon & goat cheese. BG got the pancakes. Both items were spectacular, The service was on point and always eager to help in any way possible. I cannot wait to try their lunch/dinner menu. I will then update the review. My only knock was that they offer free Wi-Fi but it was not working at the time. These things do happen, so I can let it slide.

Despite gorging on Christmas Eve, Christmas morning found me hungry and searching for breakfast. GreenStreet was its usual buzzing self. I was torn between two and three stars for the following reasons: Our server was excellent, he picked up our table when we were literally left abandoned in the middle of the dining room with no one to help us. The mimosas were great, juice with no pulp and there was no cheap Brut to be tasted! Steve's Banana pancakes! Served just a little bit warmer, would have been perfection! As far as the two star stuff, it goes a little something like this: 3 egg dishes not cooked to order and all of which that came out cold. When we approached the runner about it, she was quite snappish so we cut our losses and sucked it up. Needless to say, I'm still in search of my "go to" breakfast spot.

During the day, it's a nice relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy your lunch during a perfect day at a perfect corner. At night, it's the same except it's night time (and it's dinner, not lunch, and it's wine/beer/liquor, not iced tea). Wow, I'm a genius. I could have said that in much simpler terms. What I'm trying to say here is that this is a great place no matter what time! One thing though, if you're going at night, don't say "I'll go for a bit" because you'd be lying. If you're with good company, you won't notice the time go by because there's nothing better than sitting outside on a COUCH! P.S. What's up with the scooter that's always outside? Anyone know?!

LOVE coming here for drinks at night! The couches, the music, the vibe....I love it! Definitely recommend it for a date night or night out with friends. Now, the food here....eh...I'm not too much of a fan of it to be honest with you. I think its just okay and i find it to be slightly overrated. I find the breakfast to be too expensive for what it is and the mimosas are WAY overpriced, IMO. The last few times I've eaten here I've been left wanting more.....so now I just come here to drink...and that's fine by me...liquid diets rock!

Probably a fun spot at night for drinks but I would say don't go for a meal. My cheeseburger came served with a surprising little slice of wax paper deftly hidden between patty and cheese. That means A: they use frozen burgers or gross processed, packaged cheese B: the cooks are not paying any attention to anything. And C: they are trying to get you to choke to death. Unapologetic waitress added insult to injury.

GreenStreet is a great place for 2 completely seperate and unique purposes: "see and be seen" brunches any day of the week, and nighttime cocktails. I'll go in chronological order, since it make the most sense... Brunch: it's often hard to find a place that serves a good brunch Monday-Saturday (and Sunday too), but GreenStreet totally fits the bill. They offer a variety of things to order...from the sweet pancakes, to savory omelletes. My personal fav is the scrambled eggs with jerk spices, and a side of fruit. It's the perfect combination of spicey, savory and sweet! Drinks: lounge on fancy, yet comfy sofas lining the front of the restaurant with a refreshing cocktail in hand and chat it up with local social butterflies. It has the feeling of an upscale lounge, but with no cover or bouncer to annoy you.

Overpriced but pretty tasty breakfast. The french toast is thick and yummy! The half order is enough to fill you up. I also opted for the fried potatoes as a side and glad I did. They have a decent coffee/fu fu coffee drink selection. I bought a take-out salad from here once, it was good but way overpriced. This place can get busy at breakfast time and there is usually a bit of a wait. It has nice outdoor seating with plenty of available people watching. The inside is sort of odd. The decor and vibe is a little strange, I prefer to sit outside. Overall a cute place and if it keeps the Grove alive I'll keep supporting it. Definitely go here for breakfast or brunch.

I've been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner on different occasions. This place is a great place to come and chill with friends, and grab a bite to eat or a drink. Every time I have been here, the staff is great and very attentive, the quality of the food is pretty good and the prices really aren't that bad compared to other places in the area and compared to what you get in Miami.

5 stars all the way thanks to the incredible service from Giulian on 3/25/12. I have been a regular at GreenStreet for years and wasn't too fond of a late lunch-early dinner experience a few years ago. I have continued going and I have been extremely pleased everytime. I am glad I gave this restaurant a chance again after that negative experience years ago. Giulian was a great server, so much so that I just had to write a review. Their quality of food and service has been consistent the last couple of years, just like what I used to experience when I first started visiting this establishment. Thanks, Giulian!

Next to South Beach, Coconut Grove is the place to be in Miami. Unfortunately, that means the restaurant scene is littered with tourist-traps. As such, my expectations were low when I stopped here for a late lunch. This place has good sidewalk appeal, featuring indoor/outdoor dining in a lively area. To my surprise, I found it to have good food, fast service and reasonable prices as well.

Awesome food. Great outdoor atmosphere. I had the lamb chops. Super tender and tasty. Not the biggest chops but they give you 4 of them so it's plenty of food. Get the mash potatoes. They are super tasty as well.

We ate at the GreenStreet Cafe a few weeks ago during a trip to Miami. After reading the many positive reviews on Yelp I decided we should go here for breakfast. We were seated outside on a very pleasant December day and promptly greeted by our server. My wife and I ordered two eggs over easy with hash browns, bacon and toast. I also had an orange juice. The food arrived quickly and was served hot. With hungry appetites we dug in and the food was great. Our eggs were well cooked, the bacon was delicious, and the toast was good too. Their orange juice tasted fresh squeezed, which is always a plus, and was excellent. If I had to find some thing to complain about I would say the eggs were not particularly season. I had to salt and pepper them quite a lot before they started tasting good to me. But at least they were well cooked. The staff kept an eye on us throughout our meal and was quick to bring us anything additional we needed and kept our drinks filled. I wish there were more places like GreenStreet Cafe in my neighborhood, this cafe was superb.

I did not put in my comments yet? What? The Green Man must comment on Green Street... The name says it all, or does it. Never really could figure this one out, since it sits in the corner of Main and Commodore Plaza... The food is Mediterranean and has items like hummus, fig leaves and olives as starters; then moves into listings like chicken pasta and salmon salad for main dishes. All good. The best times to come are early on the weekend for breakfast. I note early, because it does get full, very full. Fresh juice, coffee and basic selection of eggs, anyway you can imagine them. Items are served to order and accompanied by house potatoes. I also like the lox here, as well as my favorite, Eggs benedict. The other best time must be happy hour. Once the 3 o'clock hour has passed, they are pulling out the dark red velvet couches and lounges and transform the sidewalk into a true happy place. People watching gets really close up. The bar behind, facing Main, is now open as well and the perfect late lunch or early evening can proceed. Along Commodore there are tables lining the sidewalk for great outdoor seating. Even during light sprinkles, this area stays pretty dry. There are a bar and more tables inside, I have never seen. Greenstreet is the place to sit outside, enjoy good food and drink and take in the full flavor of the Grove. Lookout for happy hours and other specials.

Great Breakfast place. We arrived around 9am and the place was swarming with people our hostess was great and accommodating with our group of six. We didn't have to wait much for a table. We sat inside. The inside area if very eclectic with a library and big red comfy chairs. I have to agree with everyone that steve's pancake and the chocolate french toast were delicious. Our waitress Carolina was great. Wonderful to go before your outing in the grove.

I love this place!!! I've been coming here for years and used to come Monday nights a long, long time ago when they had 1/2 price bottles of wine. Food is still fantastic, service is good and the outside seating area is great for people watching. My favorite is the blackened mahi with garlic mashed potatoes. Never had to wait for a table and have always had a blast with my husband or group of friends. I've never come for brunch, but will one day when I get up early enough to get there. The only star I would take away is for their abbreviated wine list. They used to have much more variety and now they do not. Definitely a must if you are in the area and want a delicious meal.

I'd come here again more for the ambiance than the food. I like the brunch atmosphere on a busy street corner where you can people watch. (Happy, ambulatory young people, unlike the 85+ population wheeled around with O2 tanks here in Boca). We got here around 2:15 and waited about 5 min on the plush red sofas outside before getting seated. Shared the chocolate french toast, eggs benedict, and zucchini soup. eggs benedict was meh. french toast was good but the blobs of nutella inside were too thick. Server was super friendly and portions were huge (half portion was more than enough for two, and i can eat a LOT for a tiny person). Zuccini soup was pureed, which was unexpected. Tasted more like creamed cauliflower.

I'm surprised nobody has reviewed this place yet. Green Street Cafe has a reputation in Miami for serving hearty and healthy fare - hence the word "Green" in its name! It is a site of many "green" organizations' meetings (probably also because it's in the greenest part of Miami - the Grove). Additionally there was an "art" market going on when I was there on Sunday - I'm not sure yet if it happens every Sundays. I met a friendly artist by the entrance who was painting on wood canvas. He hails from Las Vegas and calls Miami his second home. Anyways, enough of the greenery - I came here for last Sunday brunch because I've heard from several folks that it was better than Deli Lane. And my verdict? It's neck to neck, with everything at Green Street Cafe being a dollar and few cents more. I had the Nova Benedict, which is similar to the salmon benedict at Deli Lane. It was good, but for the benedict itself, I would rather go with Deli Lane - even though Green Street's benedict was much bigger and heavier. But it was the flavor of the salmon benedict at Deli Lane that won me over - with spinach, not so heavy on the sauce, etc. However, the sides of the potatoes that came with the benedicts - Green Street's proved to be better. What about the other selections? Their menu is big and other plates that went by my table looked good. While I would continue to go to Deli Lane for the benedict, I definitely would come back to Green Street Cafe for brunch to sample out the other goods! The service was slow though, but when other staff members noticed, they tried to accommodate us despite their busy schedule - so I know bad service is not an acceptable standard at this restaurant. And kudos to the friendly hostess that knows how to sign! Note: there's a city-owned parking lot around the corner of this place so don't fret about finding parking (even though it isn't free).

I have been here for lunch a handful of times and I wish the food is as good as the atmosphere. Yes the outdoor seating is great and the red couches are plush and comfy, but the food doesn't match it. The one good thing on the menu are the jalapeno poppers. They have a good combo of sweet and spicy going on. The guac is outright bland and tasteless. The penne tetrazzinni is the same; the pink sauce needs a lot more zest. I tried their famous mojito and I don't know why it's famous.

I've always had mixed feelings about GreenStreet; I wouldn't suggest the place but I don't mind going there. The turkey panini is great for lunch, enough to share between 2 people because it comes with a big side dish. The brunches a good but doesn't seem to have enough selections. However, $14 for a turkey sandwich is a bit pricey, maybe that's why I'm ambivalent about this place.

Green Street is one of those places that have great curb appeal and great food to back it up. You'll be impressed by the outdoor decore, which is comfy for people watching and eating. The portions are filling and the service is on point. Definitely would come here more often if it wasn't for the 2700 mile commute.

greenstreet is one of the best go-to places in all of miami! the indoor area is nice but outdoor seating is what its all about. the bar area is great with nice plush red couches and tv (for sports fans). its full at all hours, brunch, lunch, dinner, late night drinks, and somehow there is never a long wait, dont know how they do it. i almost always bump into someone i know here... since its so popular. ive been going here for years and it never gets old. the burgers and hummus are awesome. but the pasta and salads are also reallly good. i also really enjoy the zucchini soup. breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and they do it well!! the prices are reasonable for the serving size and quality of food. basically you cant go wrong.

Dear Green Street, God i love your breakfast menu! The goat cheese and tomatoe omelette is decadent and delicious. My BF always has an egg white feta and spinach omelette and always cleans his plate! Lunch and dinner menus are just as good. The salads are enormous and great. All dressings are made in house, i love that! The pizza is awesome as is peppercorn steak. The service has recently taken a dive, i hate to say. As a a regular of over 5 years now, i have noticed. Which surprises me since i know what a psycho Silvano can be. Get it together and i will bring you the full 5 starts you are capable of earning. Love, M

For me, this place is fresh alternative to my normal Brickell and SoBe Brunch locations. It offers the same things as my normal stand-bys -- mimosas, late breakfast, outdoor seating, people watching and retail shops close by for that post-mimosa-buzz-induced shopping spree. While there appears to be many folks waiting to be seated -- even before noon -- we only had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated outside. I like that they offer different kinds of pancakes and waffles including, whole wheat. They also offer different kinds of eggs. Not too many places offer scrambled eggs with different kinds of cheeses. I made the mistake of ordering the scrambled eggs with goat cheese. It just didn't work. It wasn't Green Street's fault -- it is just NOT a good combination (and I still cringe thinking about it). I love how they accomodated our request for a bottle a champagne with a side of orange juice (great way to save $ on mimosas -- make 'em yourself). Overall -- a nice change of pace from South Beach and Brickell -- good service -- but nothing on the menu that causes me to day dream.

was looking forward to trying this breakfast spot being new to miami... ordered the pancakes and was very disappointed that with the pancakes they serve Smuckers breakfast syrup.... which when you read the ingredients is corn syrup , high fructose corn syrup..... i expect that at a Dennys or McDonalds... and with coffee... non dairy creamer....... expected better quality.......

I had to post how bad we were treated. The food was OK. Awesome location. But for me human values come first . the waitress looked like they just woke up with a hangover . made us wait more than 10 min for one order. After 10 min she asked me if I could move because somebody wanted our table really bad. I was very disappointed. I decline and said that was wrong. And she explain that it should not be a big deal. I stayed because I did not want to make a big deal. But I will not come back .. The power of the consumer is in writing reviews and not coming back back or recommending. Some places are amazing but the staff is horrible.

Had breakfast with friends yesterday. Have been there many times but I was impressed yesterday by both the service and the food. The waiter was very friendly and knew the menu really well so he made a few recommendations. I had an omelette with vegetables and a cappuccino. It was really good! All my friends were also happy with their plates. Great place to go and sit outside. Great location and great service. Congratulations!!

Been coming here for years. BUT...about 2 months ago they changed their Bloody Mary mix. This combined with a horrible pepper around the top of the glass, makes it something I will never order again. The have a new bartender team that needs to go back to bartending school.

I have only been here once and that was for dinner but I found it to be delicious and definitely worth visiting again. It has an awesome atmosphere that was nice but casual at the same time. I had the lobster ravioli (OMG YUM!!!) and shared the brownie with ice cream for dessert. After reading the reviews it looks like I need to try out the brunch some time for sure. If you are nearby I would definitely say try this place out!!

This neat (not so little) cafe in Coconut Grove was the perfect place to grab a leisurely pre-cruise departure breakfast. It's located just a little bit off CoCo Walk and boasts an enormous L shaped patio where patrons can bask in the sun while feasting on an interesting and tasty menu. My omelet was delicious (spinach & feta egg whites only), and the coffee was fresh, but the homefries/breakfast potatoes looked like a frozen kind and were a bit disappointing. That said, the meal was good and the locale even better. If I lived in Miami, I'd eat here often!

The local 'see and be seen' corner hotspot of the Grove has always been a favorite of mine. I have been going to Greenstreets for around 25 years for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is consistently good after all theses years. However, the wait staff varies. Recently, the weather was gorgeous outside and I had an out of town guest I wanted to take to the Grove. I havent been here in a very long time and was curious to see any changes. The one change was the wait staff. We had a pleasant server named Jessica. Cute, petite and friendly server who was always making sure we had drinks and attentive to our needs. I am definately going back next week with a friend for her birthday and I hope Jessica will be our server!

grabbed lunch here the other day was able to get a seat outdoors so was very pleased food is ok although i couldn't believe the tuna salad was a scoop of canned tuna and not a seared tuna type salad (taught me to read the menu more carefully from now on) service is sufficient don't think i'll go back there, nothing all that special
Good service, incredible burger. Free drink refills, too. That's rare at a place as chic as this.

I'd only been to GreenStreet at night for drinks a few times, and found it pretty ordinary. Then I went for brunch. I consider myself to be a bit of a junk-food connoisseur, and must say their cheeseburger is on my top 3 list for best in Miami. Though a bit pricey (I believe it was about $15 for the burger with fries and a glass of water), it was definitely worth every bite. Yum.

My boyfriend and I went for brunch. Fresh squeezed OJ and watermelon lemonade were great. He said the coffee was awful. He got eggs benedict, I got salmon benedict. Ham seemed like pre-sliced processed meat. My egg was basically cooked through (I mean, hard-boiled by accident) so back it went. It came back on the wheat toast they'd forgotten the first time instead of the english muffin. Oops. Hollandaise was somehow off. All of this could be potentially forgiven - but we were really bothered by the line on the menu under pancakes that said "Real maple syrup available for $1.25 extra." If you are known for brunch, you get points off for serving corn syrup - and more points off for announcing it. I could be convinced to give this another try, but only under duress.

While surrounding restaurants are constantly undergoing transformation under new ownership, GreenStreet continues to stand strong and has done so for almost more than two decades. This says a lot about a place always filled with locals, politicians, and pets are also welcomed. I've been coming here for more than 10 years for birthdays, football games or simply dinner or a drink and I have never been disappointed. My boyfriend and I visited for breakfast this weekend. We arrived early, about 9am. You should too if you can, it gets really crowded after 10am and you are more likely to wait. I had a delicious omelet with mushrooms and goat cheese. My better half went for the egg whites with spinach and feta which I tried and almost made me feel guilty for ordering eggs. Well, almost. Come hungry, they are very splendid with portions; my wheat toast appeared to be super sized. Luckily, my man likes to spread jelly and have as desert so no bread was wasted here. We sat at the small, round outdoor tables and though crowded, it was not noisy and was bright with the morning sunlight. Plus sitting outside means taking pleasure in people watching and table side pets like the little poodle whose owner had sat in his own chair. If you are a bag lady like me, a hook under the outside tables holds your bag. You can also sit in the red velvet like comfortable couches, it's signature seating at this Coconut Grove staple.

I love this place! I've only been here at night. It gets pretty busy on Friday nights. People just lounge around on the red couches with drinks or grab something to eat on their regular tables outside. Inside they have a bar and more couches. The services there is very good, our waiter was very attentive. This is definately a locals hangout.

Yeah, only went there in the evening. So my opinion is valid only when considering nightlife, but I was not impressed. The layout was ineffective. Everyone was crowded up at the outdoor bar, but the inside had huge vacant spaces and the bathroom line was long.

greenstreet is this little oasis of coolneighborhoodieness in the overly touristy grove area. it's been around since the early 80's (i believe) and started with just a few tables. they've expanded since with tables wrapping around both sides of the building and a few rooms inside as well. the standard seating outside is mixed with segafredo-esque seating (ie. awesome antique wooden chairs & loves seats with red cloth). the food is pretty f-ing good. however, over the past few years they've been skimping a bit. for example, their crab cake evolution... 6 years ago... 2 juicy, almost no-filler crab cakes adorned with a huge side salad with house dressing. 4 years ago... 1 huge crab cake with some more filler and a medium side salad 2 years ago... 1 decent size crab cake with a sprig of side salad w/little to no dressing that was pretty much just garnish and even with their (d)evolution of their crab cake, it's still a great little place. their french fries are a masterpiece. burgers are a delight and brunch is usually exceptional (minus the wait). during brunch on the weekends, expect to wait 30 min minimum. also expect to see "The Tribe of the Loud Pants" (also known as the cyclists who like to grab some tasty food after riding in their bright colored cycling gear. i'm convinced it's their unofficial hangout.) feel free to bring your dogs, i do. and bring an empty stomach. only reason they didn't get 5 stars is cause i'm jaded about the crab cakes and their extensive wine list shrunk a bit. :(

I don't know why, but I like this place. The food isn't great, but it's not bad. Same for the service, but whenever I eat here (or even just meet for drinks), I have a great time. Be warned, if you come at the most popular times, this place gets packed and LOUD.

Great atmosphere and good food held back by tiny tables and high prices if you go for lunch. I go here a lot b/c it's has a great atmosphere out on their patio. It's right on a corner in the grove and it has tons of shaded outdoor seating where you can people watch and just enjoy the day. The only thing that would make the patio better is if some of the tables were farther apart (I can almost always bump into the table behind me by leaning back a little in my chair) and if the tables themselves were slightly bigger. There 4 top tables are the size many restaurant's use for 2 tops. I've never had a bad meal here either and for dinner the prices are reasonable, but since it has the same menu for lunch, the lunch is a bit pricey ($14 and up). I have been here once for brunch and I enjoyed it thoroughly, the portions were huge, and everything was under $10 I believe. Worth stopping by if you're hungry in the Grove.

Wow! There are some serious mixed reviews here. Well, I'll put my two cents in. I've been here a few times after doing my long runs on Saturday morning. I've only ordered the wheat blueberry pancakes and I have to say it is ABSOLUTELY DE-LISH! I'm actually running a 10K in the Grove this weekend and all I can think about is my reward....the pancakes. I'm hooked. The few times I've been, I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes. The outside seating is fabulous and great for people watching and the service has been good. Not great, but good. The reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I haven't been in the evening and I haven't tried anything else on the menu. I can't seem to get away from the pancakes. I like that fact that they're not super greasy and they give you a decent portion. Happy Eating!

There is better brunch out there. If you're looking for location, they have better places out there. If you're looking for food or unlimited mimosas, you can check out another place too.. The drinks were expensive, the brunch was old and burnt. I don't get it?

I don't want to be mean but the people that worked here seemed like spaced out zombies that had no clue. The host was arrogant. Our waiter didn't know anything that we were inquiring about and served us a soup that had heavy cream in it when we specifically stated that if the soup had heavy cream in it we didn't want it.... My omelette was disgusting and the potatoes on the side were like rubber. Very disappointed in this place.

Out of all the overpriced and overrated places to eat at in the grove, I find myself having a hard time staying away from here. I guess that must mean this place isn't overrated. Every morning when it is time to eat breakfast, my mind taunts me with memories of the deliciously scrumptious chocolate french toast. Since they only serve it on the weekends, and I work some weekends, I can only get this occasionally! Maybe it is for the best, because if not, I might look quite a bit different with a daily dose of chocolate french toast. Let me tell you about the french toast: Big slices of bread, with a delightfully flavored, custardy center surrounded by perfectly crisped edges. You know--that perfect crisp only rivaled by french toast sticks at a fast food place. All this perfection is presented with a dallop of the most incredible chocolate spread, holding slices of the toast together. Top this with a little natural maple syrup---and you have mouth heaven. If you aren't drooling by now, I don't know what to tell you. Try it out, and just see if you can keep yourself from thinking about every morning. For those that don't have as strong of a sweet tooth as me, there are other more savory options. The bagels are good, and I head they get them fresh from the aptly named outrageous bagels. The breakfast plates are all good. I've tried the caviar, lox, and salsa omlettes, and they never dissapoint (as long as I get my french toast fix). This has to be my favorite place in the grove. Take out is OK, but, the restaurant has some nice outdoor seating, as well as interesting looking indoor decor.

INCREDIBLE! probably the most delicious brunch of my life. me and the hubby had eggs, bacon, toast, potatoes, and red velvet pancakes. everything was perfect, I have absolutely no complaints. will definitely come back for more!

Atmosphere is definitely what makes GreenStreet a great spot. The outdoor seating is prime people watching territory and a great way to relax after a long day in the office or to chit chat with a friend over breakfast or lunch. Everything I have tried from the guacamole to salmon salad to penne pasta is great and always tastes fresh and light. Despite all the full tables, the service was quick and attentive, unlike a lot of the other restaurant service found in the grove. From reading other reviews, it seems like they have great brunch so I will have to go check that soon.

After taking our cute dogs to the park, we decided to stop by this restaurant. Loved the couches , very original idea. The atmosphere is so Miami...laid back...nice breeze...yummy food! Pros: happy hour from 5-7 girls drink free champagne! Extensive menu with good Vegetarian options! Fresh water for our pets! double plus!!! Service so nice and friendly! Menu items tried: Fish wrap with french fries, Goat cheese Salad and Goat cheese pizza. All three choices were really good..or so everyone said. My wrap was just right, tasted fresh and was just the right amount. Overall, a great evening! I gotta start hanging out in the Grove more often.

In Miami's Coconut Grove village for four days, we couldn't help noticing that this place was almost always crowded. That seemed to be a review in itself, so we took a chance for brunch one weekend morning, despite some not-so-promising customer experiences posted here on Yelp. Well, meh. I had to send my eggs back twice (runny whites), and my sausage back once (ordered pork, got turkey), but the waitress was charming and sincere. So, OK. But nothing was wonderful, not even the hot chocolate or the OJ. Husband had some lox that was "fine." Portions were unremarkable; prices a bit high for what is offered. The location is great, and the seating arrangements -- spilling up and down two intersecting sidewalks -- is generous and inviting for eating al fresco,. If only the food and the presentation were better. It's hard to have a good restaurant if the food is only "meh," even with other strong attributes.

Greenstreet: a nice introduction for brunch and people watching in Miami. The ambiance sets up for people watching during brunch or late evening when folks are ramping up to party. Upon the recommendation of a friend, we decided to hit this place up for brunch. We tickled our palette with an Herb Tomato Omelet, a stack of cakes, some Chocolate French Toast, satisfying OJ, and the obvious Cuban Coffee. Not being from Florida (let alone Miami), it was great to enjoy brunch in a chill environment. Our waitress did forget a few items, but a friendly reminder remedied the situation. The chocolate french toast combined with the cuban coffee (espresso) made for a great filler. I was highly impressed with the Dyson Hand Dryer ... the only location I've seen this in is Virgin America Terminals. If Greenstreet's attention to detail reaches the bathrooms, you know you have a great establishment.

If you like to people watch in Miami, and you like to do it with REAL Miamians surrounded by REAL latinas, latinos, northeast transplants while sipping on good drinks in a breezy setting in cozy Coconut Grove, come here. Get drinks you are familiar with, they make um good and strong. Sit outside in their comfy seats and just enjoy it. Early evening is nice. That's it.

This joint is a home run for great people watching in the Grove. The martinis are epic, so are the bloody mary's. I only had a cheese and bread sampler plate here this trip and it was fab.

It's been a couple of years since I have found this restaurant. I love breakfast there. To seat outside early in the morning, with a French baguette (not super easy to find in Miami), some eggs and a cappuccino will get you the feeling you are in right place in the right time. I love to start my Fridays like this. On the weekend the place is full, so it's worth showing up early. The egg plates are big and the fruit one too. One time I had to make some arrangements and ended up meeting the manager who impressed me with his positive can-do attitude. All and all one of my favorite breakfast and brunch places in Miami.

Just an alright place despite the location and great outdoor seating. We came by for a drink and a snack. Their mojito was average by regular standards but in south Florida I would hope for more. We originally want their chorizo pizza to share, but the waitress said they were out of chorizo. She said they were doing pepperoni instead, "which is the same as choizo". That is just sacrilegious to say to any customer. They are nothing alike! Instead we ordered their "classic margarita" pizza. Unfortunately, that apparently meant a cheese pizza. We were expecting fresh mozzarella and basil. We got dried up basil flakes and a just shreaded mozzarella. The other big issue we had was when we found out from the table next to us that they had half off bottles of wine. For some reason the waitress failed to mention that to us. Well hopefully your experience goes better than ours!

I've been here countless times, all good experiences. If you haven't been to Greenstreet then you haven't really seen the Grove. It's a Grove staple as many places have come and gone over the years and this one seems to have that certain "je ne sais quoi" that has kept it open and thriving over the years. This place has great outdoor seating, very friendly servers, one of the best breakfasts in town, and a full bar. Noteworthy items on the menu are the: banana pancakes, French toast, lamburger,and fig salad. You really can't go wrong... they must be doing something right!

As a bar, Greenstreet is good with plenty of outdoor seating for great people watching in coconut grove. Other than the nightly specials and happy hour though, you will not leave with a small tab unless you know the owner (which half of the people who go there do). As a restaurant, Greenstreet has its moments, i.e. sunday breakfast/brunch. Otherwise it is just so-so in the food department though i do like the lamburger and goat cheese salad. We're all ready and waiting for the revival of Coconut Grove as a popular hangout spot in Miami so that new and better places can usurp Greenstreet from the top of the list of bars in the Grove. The fact that tesame guy opened a nearly identical restaurant across the street makes me less inclined to go to either for some reason.

The food was okay but way over priced. While we were eating there was a big roach that ran across the wall right in front of us. We informed them about it and they killed it over top of our table. Nasty! The bathrooms were nasty. They made us split the bill on our own, taking us forever to find who got what. The tip says optional but the guy came back and said that it may say it but it's not optional at all. So at this point we just wanted to get out of this place.

I am tempted to give this place 5 stars but I've only been here once...so far. A great spot in Coconut grove with plenty of outdoor seating. It was breakfast time so I ordered some french toast and oj. It was really good. Wasn't able to finish it so don't worry about getting small portions. The service was also really good. The guy recognized that I was in a bit of a rush and didn't forget about me. A must go.

GreenStreet Cafe is one of those places that are good, but that you forget about because there's nothing really enticing you to coming back. For example the food was fresh, portions were pretty decent, and prices weren't too high, but nothing I tried stuck out as being incredible. I ordered the mushroom tagliatelle, which was very tasty, but also incredibly rich. Everyone else at my table had pasta or a salad. Again I think everyone was satisfied, but not blown away. The ambiance was nice. I love eating outside, but they lit ticki torches at one point and the wind started blowing smoke at our table. The really one good thing I liked about GreenStreet Cafe was our waiter. He was pretty funny. As a whole, I think I'd come back to GreenStreet if I was in the area and was at a loss of where to eat, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

I would say good but not great. Had the cinnamon roll pancakes and everything was good, as expected. My husband had an omelet and said it was dry and a little burned. It is a good location and easy to find.

I've obviously been here a number of times since my initial review. We've made it a regular weekend brunch place because I'm in love with their Bloody Mary's and I think they do have a great breakfast. The docked star is for inconsistencies in both their food and service. Although I've yet to have a bad order of Eggs Benedict here, their Omelets seem to suffer a different fate. They often come out looking like they've spent a little too long on the griddle, but are pretty tasty nonetheless to those of you who may not mind a little browning on your eggs. Service is pretty inconsistent, especially on weekdays when they seem to be understaffed, you can end up being seated fairly quickly only to wait 40 minutes for your actual food to come out. I've had the same experience with dinner when ordering a salad and a pizza, only to wait for an hour to get my food. Considering the downfalls I listed in my review, more often than not, the servers are very friendly and polite and they can't really help the understaffed kitchen. The food is also pretty decent when the eggs aren't brown (as Andy said, these are attributed to Chickens with brown ears) and the benedict never disappoint.

I LOVE MIAMI! and GreenStreet Cafe just adds to the love. Located in the beautiful Coconut Grove neighborhood, GreenStreet Cafe offers indoor and outdoor seating. We went here for breakfast and chose to sit outside because of the great weather and inviting atmosphere. The breakfast menu has a unique variety of pancakes, french toast, and egg selections. It was so hard to choose! My husband and I couldn't decide between sweet and savory, so we ended up to sharing. He selected red velvet pancakes and I got scramble eggs with onions and nova, home fried potatoes, and whole grain toast. Both were outstanding in their own way, and needless to say there were no leftovers. This restaurant is dog friendly, so if you have a furry friend, bring them along for the experience. We will definitely be going back next time we road trip down to Miami to try lunch!

This is one of the best places I went to on my trip. Our experience was definitely not typical, but showcased the cafe at it's finest. I almost want to give it that 5th star, but can't quite. We came on a Sunday morning, slightly overcast. It was pretty sunny, so we elected for an outside table. It was about a 25 minute wait. Next time I'll use yelp to reserve ahead. We got seated at a place way too small for our group. That was a ding against them. They put together another table quickly and sat us down with more room. Generally the drinks and breakfasts in general were well received. Orders were Red Ladies, Mimosas, Bellinis, eggs and caviar, eggs benedict, fruit salad, omelet, muffins, bagels, and a few other things I can't recall. There was nothing that was less then well made. It began raining partway through. It was uncomfortable at first, but then the heavens came down, and it was soaked all over. The waiters scrambled to get everyone inside. We ended up soaked, but we were already finished with our food. They comp our meal anyway, but we really wanted to pay. Everything was outstanding, the service was great, and I generally don't hold places accountable for acts of nature. The fact they comped the meal was very professional, a sign of a place that values customers. I know not everyone will have our experience, but I would recommend, and I will come back next time I am in town.

We came here as our last stop on our bar/restauarant crawl in Coconut Grove. What attracted us there were these red couches that you can lounge on outside right by the street. They had (fake) candles lit up so it was very romantic/intimate. They also had music in the background. The staff was very friendly. They also had a great late night menu that we ordered from. We all got a few Blue Moons and a pizza that was pretty good. Could have been a bit crispier but overall was very yummy. It was a great place for a last stop to sit and chat and enjoy the outdoors!

Rebecca C.
I absolutely loved and adored the food and location. They are central to the Grove, have such great people watching, and cute royalty chairs to sit on outside. The menu is splattered with goat cheese, Yum! I ordered the goat cheese pizza, my friend the goat cheese salad. The pizza was one of the best I've had yet and even better as leftovers. However, they lost a star for a few minor reasons: nothing on the menu was under $15, which seems high even for the Grove to me and I wish the happy hour had more, not just free champagne for ladies on Fridays. Overall, the best part of GreenStreet: they are pet friendly and vegetarian friendly.

Finally got around to going to Greenstreet and was not disappointed. Service was excellent food (omelets) was solid and the people watching is great. Really a perfect place for outdoor dining now that the weather is turning. Added entertainment by watching passing traffic perform the infamous stunts so typical of Miami drivers.

Adriana J.
I can get why people come here during the day--food isn't too shabby (yummy breakfast options, better than lunch in my opinion) and my favorite part: dogs are welcome. But why it's so packed at night is beyond me. Don't get me wrong--the vibe is kinda cool with its wicker chairs and loungey feel but overall? There's nothing too special about it and the cocktails are pretty mean on your wallet. Between sitting indoor and outdoor, opt for outdoor because it is nicer and again, if there's pups around, you get breakfast AND aw-factor.

Nice atmosphere. Food is average at best. Boring menu. "Jamaican" wings did not have the slightest hint of flavor. Go to LuLu for food and Green Street for drinks. It's too bad they can't walk the drinks across the street to LuLu.

I've been a yelp member for a long time and have never felt the need to write a review until today. It dawned on me today that I've gone to way to many restaurants lately and have not been satisfied with the service I've received. Dwight was my server at greenstreet tonight and made me feel at home. So much so, that before leaving I said these exact words "Dwight, you are the best server I've had in a long time". Everyone in Miami knows greenstreet has reliably great food, but Dwight made the evening extra special. I will always request him as our server. I'm sure the rest of the servers are great as well, but this is just an experience I wanted to share because it deserved recognition. If you ever see this Dwight, thank for sharing your personal homemade snickers with us!!

Too bad your hostess is so bad, Green Street. I was out with my mom, and we were looking for a place we hadn't tried before. Green Street looked interesting. The hostess and 2 waitresses were crowded up at the podium/hostess stand. We stood. And waited. We picked up a menu and started looking at it. Meanwhile, the hostess and the 2 waitresses stood there giggling and discussing guys -- seriously, that's what they were discussing. After probably 2 minutes of looking at the menu, my mom said, "Well, we're not going to get acknowledged, let's check out the Indian place down the block." WHOA! All of a sudden the hostess is asking to seat us, how many in our party, we have room, don't go. . . I politely responded, "No thank you. . . gracias." Then, as we're walking away, I hear the hostess make a nasty dig about my responding in Spanish. No, sweetheart, it's not that I don't think you can speak English -- I don't think you can do your job and should be fired, along with the 2 cackling waitresses that are more interested in discussing their dates than doing their job. AVOID. And for the record, my Spanish is just fine.

**4 1/2 Stars ** Truth is- I have always wanted to hate GreenStreet. Whether it's the anti-establishment part of me that is irked by the massive amounts of people that either check-in here or present it as the Grove/Gables brunch place to see or be seen OR the reason for my deduction of 1/2 a star- the not-so-spectacular lunch/dinner menu. I have always very confidently marched right past GreenStreet each and every Sunday morning towards Calamari where I would happily enjoy their fantastic brunch buffet. Here's the thing- I diet 6 days a week and eventually the stuffing my face at Calamari on Sundays was beginning to catch up to me. So what to do?!!? I'm a brunch-loving girl and needed a new place to sit outside and enjoy my most favorite Sunday pastime where I don't gorge myself like a pig! So the next Sunday I reluctantly give my name to the hostess and was actually pleasantly surprised when the wait I was quoted was 20 min or less! Considering the crowd gathered that was a huge win. The host stand is excellently ran at GS and both this visit and subsequent visits, I have been seated quickly and always within my quoted wait time- which I very much appreciate. So now that I'm seated we will get on to the service and the food. The service is IMPECCABLE. The servers have always been incredibly attentive and accommodating to my picky palate. The food for Brunch is very good- My personal faves are the Lox Platter with a Multi-Grain bagel and either the Scrambled Eggs (sub egg-whites) with Caviar or with Lox and Onion. Yum!! Get them to replace the potatoes that come with the Scrambled eggs with Grits with American Cheese--Double YUM!!! Also bonus points for having a variety of interesting and potent Brunch beverages aside from the traditional and boring Mimosa and Bloody Mary. With that being said- if you aren't going to GS for Brunch then I would be wary as the other menus aren't bad but they are just average. You won't be in for the great experience above. So in conclusion, I am proud to say that I have very much repented from my GreenStreet Brunch hating ways into a loyal GreenStreet Groupie.

The best thing about this place is the location and their ample outdoor seating. It's quite nice to sit outside on a cool day people-watching on Main. I imagine it'd be nice to have brunch there but I've only been for lunch and drinks/apps. Their tuna tataki and flatbreads are light and flavorful, but I'd steer clear of the more fatty dishes like their truffle fries which come out soggy and dense. The service is ok- they tend to lurk around the tables but don't actually interact much with guests.

This is my favorite restaurant in Miami... period. Maybe it is because I have been going here with my family since I was a tot and all the memories I have there. The food is delicious whether you are ordering breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Its really good! My favorite things to order there are ANY of their pancakes, watermelon lemonade, and their Ceasar salad with sliced jerked chicken. They have the BEST Ceasar salad that I've ever tried in Miami.. Its a really popular place so if you are a large group or are going during their happy hour and pretty much any meal time during the wkend.. expect a 30min-1hr wait for a table. If you can, go on a random Tuesday for any meal of the day to get a great experience..

Goat Cheese Lamb Burger. That's all you need to know. Seriously though, it's one mean burger. And will leave you craving for more. The staff at Green Street is always friendly. On weekends, the place does get busy, so prepare to wait if you come here for brunch.

one of the best places in Miami to get a lamb plate whether it's for lunch or dinner. The Lamburger w/ goat cheese is one of the best burgers Ive ever eaten, when I go for lunch that's what I usually get. For dinner, the lamb chops with brussel sprouts is a must try. For appetizer my norm is flatbread with tomato and goat cheese, my kids love it too. I go to GreenStreet Cafe often, the best waiters are Zac and Dwight, I usually ask for either or, they are both on top of their game. Best thing is especially being a Miami Heat fan is seeing Lebron James or Erik Spoelstra and the coaching staff which I have seen a couple good times in the past dining! GreenStreet Cafe is a must if your in Coconut Grove and top 5 restaurants in Miami, for quality and bang for your buck.

Been going here since I was a kid. Great Sunday brunch. Fabulous ambiance. Great for families. Dog-friendly.

Good flat bread and martinis. This is as much as I remember regarding the food. What I can't forget is that when I went to the bathroom there was someone drunk in the womans restroom, and the place was a mess, I think the manager and security were trying to take him out. Maybe the martinis are too strong for some people. Overall I would love to come back, very nice environment besides the WC event

It was a fantastic place to have brunch in Miami! We came here on Sunday morning, and the lady said that we need to wait at least 45mins, but we waited for just like 20mins. I ordered original French toast with strawberries, and wow, it was so good. A friend of mine ordered fine herb and tomato omelette, which was very flavorful! I couldn't stop eating her side potatoes from her plate. My bf got a cheese ham omelette, and it was great too. They were welcoming and friendly. It took a little while to get our food, but I understood. It was Sunday morning and the place was totally packed.

Five days out of the week you will find me and my husband slanty eyed and not so bushy tailed at 5:30am in the gym, but on the one day we spoil our selfs with guiltless edible delights you will spot us noshing out at Green Street. Banana Nutella filled French toast with a stack of pancakes that looks and tastes like a yummy cinnamon roll, that's our uber delish "cheat day" meal and boy o' boy is it totally worth it. This place is a local fave and a great people watching spot for our little one. The fans and coverage outside make S.Miami's chew before you breathe hot humid summers somewhat tolerable. There is seating inside too. Not to mention...but to mention, the virgin bloody mary's (breast feeding mama here) are the bomb diggity'! Parking can be a bit of a pickle because this place gets packed but the earlier you come the more likely you'll find a better spot to not only park but sit. If you haven't tried out Green Street give it a shot, it won't disappoint.

Vanessa V.
Yes, everyone comes here for brunch. Yes, it's almost always packed on weekends. Why? Because the food is good! You've probably already heard about the Nutella french toast. Yes, it's good, very good. But what I really want to talk about is the cinnamon roll pancake. BEST pancake I've ever had in my LIFE!! Perfect mix of flavors, fluffy, and just enough icing to cover them. Order it, you won't be disappointed! Another good breakfast option is the omelettes. They're a very good size portion, enough to share actually, as long as you order some sides. I recommend the truffle french fries for a side. They're thin, crispy and topped with chopped herbs. I have yet to come for lunch or dinner, but I hope to soon.

GreenStreet never disappoints. I've been coming here for years. Happy hour, dinner, brunch etc. Their food is always on point and they have great happy hour deals. Salads are great, pasta is delicious as if their flat breads. They have a great ambiance outdoors. Especially by the bar for happy hour. Now if you want to go for brunch on the weekend get ready for a wait. It's usually slammed! It's a great routine place to always come back to with great food, drinks and environment.

Ehhhhh... Came her for lunch last week because my friend works down the street. I had my dog with me so we wanted somewhere we could sit outside. It's good to go and people watch... I'll give them that. When we arrived we sat and received our menus quickly. I had to ask for a bowl for some water for my dog since they didn't notice he was there and drinking water from my appetizer plate. We ordered 2 beers, hummus, and our food. The waiter didn't really explain anything on the menu or elaborate on our choices. The hummus arrived quickly but our beers took about 15 minutes. I had the blackened dolphin and mashed potatoes. It was good but I don't think it was worth $15. My friend ordered the veggie omelette. When it arrives he noticed that it had mushrooms... He had to send it back because he is allergic to mushrooms! It would have been nice to know what exactly was in it prior to ordering it. They didn't even apologize. All in all, the food is good but a bit pricey for what it is. The service could be a little better too.
Greenstreet's ok. I had been here for nighttime outings but had yet to try the brunch/breakfast until yesterday. The menu is a bit bland and mostly offers American staples of egg scrambles, omelettes and French toast. The outdoor setting is definitely a plus, and plenty of tables were available. However, I was rather put off by the service I received. Our waitress was unable to offer our friend a choice of cheese recommendation to go with his omelette despite asking him if he wanted cheese, citing her own personal preference that cheese shouldn't go with omelettes. She then made a face when I put ketchup on my eggs with nova and onion, making a comment about ketchup and salmon. I personally enjoy ketchup with my eggs...and would prefer not to receive judgmental comments when I'm trying to enjoy my breakfast. So there's that. Overall, I might come back if friends insisted on coming. I wouldn't suggest it unless I had a friend who only enjoyed simple breakfast dishes and wanted to sit outside. There are much better brunch establishments everywhere in Miami with greater variety of dishes and pleasant waitstaff.

We went on Friday night at 8pm for dinner. The outdoor bar and seating area was just about full. However, the side outdoor as well as the inside was empty to our surprise. Jennifer was our waitress and she was awesome with serving, knowledge and suggestions. We started with the peach infused bourbon and the ginger infused vodka cocktails which were amazing. The calamari was a good portion to share with a light tempura coating served with a very tasty remoulaude. The large skirt steak was seasoned well and perfectly cooked medium. But the highlight was the porcini ravioli cooked in a cream sauce with pieces of tender and tasty porcinis. The overall service was excellent. We used the $6 flat fee parking lot just to the west which had ample open spots. Note that the resto uses white cotton napkins so you will get covered in white lint if you are wearing black clothes.

The best puppy-friendly restaurant ever! We celebrated our Pomeranian's 2nd birthday here with a brunch, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming to our pooch! He even sat on his own chair at our table! Our Waiter was awesome, and so were all the others who came to say hi and wish him a happy birthday! I've also been here other times without the dog, and the service and food has always been consistent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

I went here for brunch with my family. We made a reservation so we didn't have to wait. The service was really good. The waitress was attentive. I got an ice latte which tasted very yummy. It's made with non-fat milk. I got the goat cheese and tomato omelette, and added spinach. It was delicious and there was plentiful helpings of all ingredients. It came with potatoes and I got the cinnamon raisin bread. My family got the coconut crusted French toast to share. It was incredible. I've tried a lot of French toasts over the years, and this was one of the best. There was a nice crisp on the outside, and good flavor throughout. If you like coconut, this is a must. The French toast is on the sweeter side. Everyone was happy with their meals, so you can't go wrong with what you get.

Came here for brunch with a friend and our dog. Friendly staff brought water bowls for our dog as we sat at our outdoor table.

I've been here MANY times for late night drinks or whiskey Wednesday's (let's be realistic, who hasn't?) This was my first time sitting down for a meal. I wouldn't say the place was empty, but there definitely was plenty of available tables. The waiter was attentive and friendly. The food was good, but nothing memorable. We were sitting outside and at one point it started to rain. We had to move inside and that's when the experience started to go downhill. We carried out entrees inside and opted to sit at the bar since we were just about finished with our meals and looking for the check. It took a while for our waiter up get back to us, and it wasn't even busy. Overall: the food was good, the service was good, the atmosphere was good. Not great. I'll be back for drinks, and maybe next time I'll try their brunch. I won't be running back for dinner.

We stumbled upon this place during a late brunch hour because of the bustling crowd and fun atmosphere (plus the menu beat most places on the block. It has everything you could possible want). The brunch Bloody Mary was delicious; just the right amount of spice and tang and they garnish it with a piece of cheese and a cherry tomato (umm yes please, and thank you for making your bloody unique) For our meal we decided to split a burger and a steak which was superb and cooked very well. I just want to say that on top of the burger being phenomenal, when I cut it in half to split it, it didn't fall apart. Spectacular. In addition to an entree, one can also choose a side which is included, from a pretty decent selection (for example we both felt like being "skinny" and ordered Bok Choy instead of fries). Our waiter was so great too - just the right amount of follow ups and jokes and made our experience that much better. Will definitely be back soon!

This is my go-to brunch place. I came here with my boyfriend and we were seated rather quickly. Their wait usually ends up being shorter than what they tell you. Although I would recommend making a reservation if you have a large group. To dog owners: This place is also very dog friendly if you sit outside- they have many fans so you won't feel the heat too badly. I ordered the red velvet pancakes with a side of potatoes and my boyfriend ordered the cinnamon role pancake. They both tasted absolutely delicious- warm and fluffy straight from the pan. I definitely recommend Green Street to anyone looking for a delicious brunch with excellent service for a reasonable price.

I only had some wine and small bites around dinner time here, including the ceviche and the chicken wings. It wasn't mind blowing food, but the place itself is worth a try at least once in your Miami lifetime. The outdoor seating is definitely a must. With comfy, classic looking couches, wooden chairs and tables; and giant fans to supply the much needed breeze on a Miami's July afternoon. The inside is very nice too. Nicely decorated, with brown and dark-ish tones accentuated by candle lights. A good option, if people watching outside is not entertaining enough to keep you from running inside to your best friend this time around: the AC. I'm not dying to go back for dinner. But reading other yelpers, I would be willing to catch up with a friend over brunch here.

Probably my favorite brunch place in Miami thus far! I think the menus simplicity is what makes this place truly unique. I started with the caramel macchiato which was outstanding and my boyfriend started with a mimosa with freshly squeezed OJ. We got the eggs Benedict and scrambled eggs with salsa and cheese. We had the coconut crusted French toast as the grand finally and it didn't let us down. Everything was DELICIOUS. No complaints at all!

Went for brunch. The food was decent and our waitress knew the menu in and out. The place was packed and it took a while to get served. However while we waited, we took part in their various Bloody Mary's. I must say. Best Bloody Mary's I've had in Miami so far. Hands down. The spices was just right and flawless each time. Vegetables were fresh and delicious. Would definitely return solely for the bloody Mary's. All of my friends and I decided at that point to stick with the Bloody Mary's and had several rounds. Was perfect every time.

It was okay. I got the Nutella French toast. I asked the waiter what his favorite was and went with what he said. The problem was it was so loud inside I couldn't hear what he said. I'm not a very big chocolate person so it was too much sweetness for me early in the morning. It's my fault for not being able to hear what he said. The fruit was very good and they coffee was good. We will probably go back at some point but I will make sure to sit outside so it's not so noisy and I won't order the Nutella French toast. The location is nice and the ambience has a great feel.

I've been looking for a really great place to have brunch in. THIS is that place. I had the Nutella stuffed French toast and potatoes and my boyfriend (not a big fan of pancakes) had the red velvet pancakes and fell in love. We've had red velvet pancakes in other places before, but never as amazing as this place. My Nutella stuffed French toast was perfect, and made better by the strawberries and blueberries it was topped with. The service was amazing! Our waiter was kind and attentive. He made our experience a great one. All in all, I loved it. And I highly recommend it to anyone that loves a good brunch!

I'm never disappointed when going to Greenstreet Cafe. I've come here for brunch and dinner and they're both great. Despite the Miami weather, eating outside is really nice. For brunch, I recommend the Nutella Filled French Toast. If you're a chocolate freak like me, you'll definitely enjoy it. I've also had regular pancakes, which were great as well. When you're here for brunch, don't forget a mimosa! You can't brunch without a mimosa! The lunch and dinner menu are pretty much the same. When I go for dinner, I usually get the tomato fresco angel hair pasta. You'd think since it's pasta, it'll be heavy and make you feel gross, fear not- it's light and delicious! I recommend coming to GreenStreet at anytime of the day. They have a great happy hour! Monday-Friday from 5-7, and another one 11 pm-close! If you go on a Wednesday (whiskey Wednesday) or Thursday night, try to get there early if you want a table. Consider yourself warned!

This place is pretty good. I went on Friday morning with my sister and nephew. I wish I would've known they were pet friendly . A bit too pricey though, and VERY HOT OUTSIDE. Please add some more fans. Our waiter was very friendly. Food was good as well we had thecinnamon pancakes and a veggie omelette with an ice coffee.,& service was amazing. I will definitely be coming back to this location :-) Thanks

Great Service, Food, Atmosphere! Reason for the 4 stars is it took the waiters a little to figure out who was going to help out the table of 3 people?! Not that busy; however, enough for them to be confused?

Great spot, great staff, great food! I feel like it's hard to find a brunch place that has unique options, but there was a lot ok the menu I regret that I couldn't try bc I won't be able to try it elsewhere. As for the staff, they were exceedingly kind and charismatic. Definitely would come back here!

The food is very delicious, hands down best French toast ever. I love the system they have for calling you, I was told it was going to be 45 minute to an hour wait so I had the chance to walk around because they call you and text you when the table is ready. The one down side was the wait for the food, I had to wait close to an hour for my food after ordering. That was little upsetting not especially since I didn't order anything big and complicated, but besides this I would definitely recommend this place for brunch!

The banana pancakes are to die for: fluffy, freshly made. Turkey apple sausage can go with anything. The apple juice could be a better quality. Egg omelette had plenty of mushrooms as I requested. Good food, okay service.

My favorite brunch/lunch spot! Service, food & cocktails have been amazing every single time. I love this spot even more because of its awesome location in front of the Barnacle State Park where you can take a nice little stroll with a beautiful waterfront view to walk off all that yummy food. Personal brunch time favorites: Nutella French Toast, Coconut Crusted French Toast, & Grove Goddess (prosecco & watermelon cocktail) Lunch/Dinner favorites: Lobster Ravioli & Mojitos Everything always tastes really fresh from their food down to their cocktails with real fruit mixers. The menu changes from time to time and between brunch, lunch & dinner but they are so great that at any time of the day they have accomodated it so that I could have my favorite drink or dish even if it's not on the menu. They sure know how to make you feel special and very well attended to.

I have come to GreenStreet cafe for the last 5 yrs.... I am so greatfull and please to let my friends and colleagues know that it's the best place for Happy hour and dinner. I want to go on record that waitress Marjorie provided the best service possible to me and my wife. We always look to be serviced by her. She is excellent! And this is great business for the establishment. Keep up the great work....
1st thing mentioned in reviews: people watching. A great place to sit outside on a sunny & breezy day and look at the Coconut Grove commotion. Also: you can use the "Make an Online Reservation" OpenTable function on the Yelp app to save a spot at this busy place. We did it on our way there and it was helpful! They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner but I've heard brunch is the best time to go. I was referred here by friends raving about their Nutella French Toast, a crowd favorite it seems. However I was starving and craving some protein, so I got a pasta dish with chicken in it. The Penne Tetrazzini was heavy but delicious (no pine nuts were to be found though). My friends got the Red Velvet Pancakes and Omelette, which were good. I'm definitely coming back to try their French toast. Good place to bring out of town guests or have a nice brunch with friends.

Had the blueberry and granola pancakes for breakfast and they were delicious! Only reason I'm not giving this full 5 stars is because it's a bit pricey for just two pancakes with no eggs or anything on the side. Tried my friend's Nutella French Toast and MAN is that worth it! SO GOOD

Grecia P.
Started off with a Bloody Mary, which was good, but would be nice if it had a few more condiments... maybe a stick of chorizo, or cocktail onions, extra olives... then tried the Straberry mojito and it was delicious. While sipping on our cocktails we decided to have the brie wrapped in a pastry with a honey glaze and that was delicious, but I would suggest that they no longer serve it with those crackers because they are too hard and simply just not good. Overall it was a nice experience and we might return.

After spending much time here I can honestly say the food is phenomenal and atmosphere is charming. The flexible dinner menu and combined with the full bar and barista makes it completely worth the price if you come here knowing what you want. Along with dinner this is the perfect choice for a quick sit down breakfast with friends -during the weekdays.. That being said, I would feel as if I am doing you a disservice if I did not tell you to steer clear of this restaurant's busy hours -weekend brunch, for two reasons: The first and most forgivable reason is the disorganization of staff. This makes for a long time to be seated and long hungry wait for your food. When you are seated finally, there is a strong possibility you will be seated outside. If so expect to sweet under the sun and beg for your water to be refilled. The second is the most prominent reason to stay away from the brunch hours. The general manager present normally this time is EASILY flustered and consonantly out of line in front of guest. As hard as it is for me to say this about another person, I must say, he is very unprofessional and borderline mentally unstable. My unadorned recommendation is straightforward: If you are looking to impress your significant other on a date, come to this restaurant for quite candlelight dinner, try the Penne Tetrazzini or Sylvano's Linguine, and order a bottle of Chianti which pairs perfectly. As far as going here for brunch, dine at your own risk. Edit: A sincere apology from the owner and manager, not more then two hours after posting this review, compelled me to add another star. Willingness to improve means a lot and this review will change as my opinions change with my next visit.

This is a review from 2008 so it may be a bit outdated. The decor of this place is very cool. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. If I recall a lot of the furniture didn't match but that made it cooler. The food was healthy portion sizes but I recall the prices were a bit on the high side. I remember the food really being good. It's not a place to go if you are in hurry so don't expect super fast service.

This is THE PLACE, according to locals and YELP. I totally understand when a place is busy. I get that. BUT, we waiting 10-15 minutes for my cappuccino AND IT WAS COLD!!! I also asked if they could add 2 sugars when making it: Evgenia, our waitress pointed to the sugar packets on the table and told me I could do it myself. Thaaaaanks.... Then 45 minutes later our food came. My lox Benedict came out "crusty" looking. OBVIOUSLY, it had been sitting out for quite a while... While we just sat and sat.... I sent it back and the waitress said, they must have LOST my ticket?? Then I over heard her apologizing to the table next to us again complaint about the kitchen. I do not wish to wait 15 mins for COLD hot beverage Nor do I wish to wait 45 mins for COLD hot entrees. Obviously , This is NOT THE PLACE !!!! Never again, Thanks but no thanks

I hadn't been to Greenstreet lately, but had delicious memoriew from prior brunches as well an Elite event a little while back. Remembering they're pet friendly and wanting to share Mother's Day with my mom and fur child, I called to verify that pups were still welcome and drove here. Despite a full outside area - including a couple of other four legged families - our waiter Aaron was a superstar. A lot of pet friendly spots will just bring you a water bowl. We asked, and were told they could grill a side of chicken which was brought on an actual plate. My pup would also give Green Street Five Stars! As far as human food, my mom and I shared Spaghetti Bolognese and Chicken Linguini on a pesto sauce. Both portions were generous, and my favorite was the spaghetti bolognese. The marinara was nicely balanced with the sweet taste of pine nuts and al dente pasta. The chicken in the linguini was also lean and fresh. Dessert was a fluffy, sweet key lime pie with whipped cream and a latte to close out. Besides Aaron, the other wait staff was very pleasant and fast, bringing our plates in a timely manner, photographing us and one even telling us about their fur baby. Great food and service, Green Street! Thanks for helping us have an excellent Mother's Day!

You can't go to the Grove and miss the Green Street Cafe. After hearing the name mentioned over the years, a brunch catch-up brought me here and I was satisfied. For a place that I thought would be just a cute cafe, it turned out to exceed my expectations with an eyebrow raise. I like that they offer alcoholic brunch beverages, it's keeping it classy. The coconut crusted french toast was my highlight, and the omelets were made to order. I would definitely come back to try the lunch menu. Besides the food, there was a downside in my visit that I cannot ignore. We got there and asked for a table for four, the projected wait time was thirty minutes, okay fine. Our group was so consumed in talk that we didn't realize how much time we had killed. We had stood around for almost an hour, not getting any word regarding our table being ready. So, after noting the time, we went to the host inquiring, they asked if we ever received a text, uhm no. Finally, we are seated walking by three empty clean tables. The staff just came off as un-enthused that they had an actual job to do. We were clearly standing right in plain sight, as they clumped together talking amongst themselves. It's a good thing that I was in good company, who made me forget about my hunger pains. The atmosphere is cute and cozy and very the Grove. On a sunny day, it's a good atmosphere.

Went for Sunday breakfast and we were less than impressed. The food was cold, there was a hair in the sausages, the Nutella french toast sounds better than it tasted. Have definitely had a better Bloody Mary. Won't come back for breakfast/brunch.

I've been coming years to this place and the food has never changed. It's always top quality and fresh. The service is nice and on the servers are on top of their game. Mother's Day and special holidays it's a mission and the waiting time for a party over three can be up to two hours wait. I decided to bring my mom today for her special day and boy was it hectic. He had some bumps on the road with dirty silver wear but as long as the food is god and the service it's A quality I don't care about the small details, besides silver wear can easily be replaced . Out of all managers in different restaurants who just wait around and overlook the employees this manager is the opposite. Sean at Green Street was constantly in the move. He was sitting people, even getting tables ready and interacting with clients to make sure they were happy in this busy day. The food was amazing as always, we had the churrasco with Basmati and the meat lasagna we had it accompanied with a fresh delicious house salad and four watermelon tequila Martines for me. Mom had to top it off their vanilla bean cheesecake with a scoop of ice cream for her diabetic heart. Everything was smooth and flawless and we were treated like nothing less than royalty. I always come back here, I always love eating here, now I just have to bring AK here so we can have the same experience.

Beautiful location and ambiance. Food is phenomenal, especially the nutella stuffed french toast. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Service is a little slow and hostesses were less than amused to be there. Seating can be very limited and awkward. The food is good enough to somewhat overlook it but it is still an issue. They definitely need to be more organized.

We needed to kill some time in the morning and the Yelp reviews led us here, and we're glad it did. The Nutella stuffed French Toast is as advertised, awesome. Another hidden gem, if your 8 and 10 year olds don't already have cavities, are the Cinnamon Swirl pancakes. They promised to clean their rooms and wash the car if I would bring them back here again. I had the scrambled eggs with mushrooms, onions and peppers....again, it was worth every penny. The potatoes that come with the eggs were season and cooked to perfection.....and don't sleep in the Coconut Crusted French Toast, another solid dish worth trying. My only two knocks are that the service was a bit slow and the coffee of the day was nothing short of awful, but the fresh squeezed OJ I replaced it with made up for it. Definitely coming back, early and often!!

So I'm not really sure why this place has so many good reviews. Perhaps this is the best the area had to offer? This restaurant was mediocre at best. A group of six of us showed up for brunch and we were told we'd have to wait an hour. Now, I don't like waiting, but a wait at brunch is normally a sign of good things to come, so I settled into a comfy couch and waited. Sadly, I was sorely mistaken about the food. I make better brunch at home. Everything was lukewarm when it came out and there was nothing special to it at all. The only food at the table that looked ok was the Nutella French toast. Mind you, this is AFTER we waited an hour to be seated and then another 30 minutes for our food to come out. The only good things about this place were the drinks and the outdoor seating. So check the place out if you just want to have a drink and sit outside, but if you actually want warm, decent tasting brunch food, go elsewhere.

The ambience in this place is always great! Definitely a great spot to have breakfast or brunch but this time I tried lunch - the shrimp scampi pasta. It left much to be desired, it was watery and not full of flavor. The shrimp were cooked nicely. Another thing that is great about this place is that on Wednesday is Johnny Walker black label drinks for $5! You really can't beat that.
Incredible nutritious food! Beautiful decor. Great service. No wonder there was a 90 min wait the other day. Would be worth the wait.

I live in downtown Miami and I've been a customer at GreenStreet Cafe twice now. Good food is a MUST for me, a priority if you will. GreenStreet Cafe has yet to disappoint me, the food, staff and atmosphere are simply amazing. I highly recommend heading over to the Cafe if you are looking for a satisfying breakfast/meal.

German M.
LOVED IT! I came here on Sunday for brunch and left very pleased. I had the spinach and feta omelette with their oven roasted potatoes -- these potatoes are the best ones I've had, delicious. A must try here is the nutella stuffed french toast (avoiding the thought of the number of calories you are eating): so flavorsome! The server was very attentive and didn't even noticed him as I was too busy devouring my food. GreenStreet is very affordable -- I think the drinks I had were more expensive than the food so watch out! And the only bad aspect of coming here on the weekend is the wait time -- had to wait 45 mins but you can walk around and they text you when your table is ready. They are not that organized as they gave my table to someone else and I had to wait 15 more mins. However, if you are patient and go there knowing this, you'll do just fine.

This is the all round perfect place to eat and be social.. Something about the layout of the place, the menu, and even the staff makes green street a staple as has been for years... Breakfast, lunch, dinner ,happy hour, late night and or simply drinks you can't go wrong.. I could write for days but it's one of those places you that if you haven't been to or heard about you need to go to... That's as real as it gets.. If your a newbie try their breakfast /brunch and you will see what I mean.. There will be a wait 9/10 times but it's worth it and you can have a nice drink at the bar while you wait... I'll never steer ya wrong.. Go see!!! A Coconut grove staple...

Great restaurant. We had a salad with pecan's and figs. Hubby loved it. Bit too sweet for me but it was fresh and gorgeous. Best vegetarian lasagna had in a long time and the hubby had a steak dish he raved about. Service is friendly and the drinks spot on. Only thing did not warm up to was all the pictures of the Native Indians on the wall looking very sad. And not one of the servers could tell me the relevance to the actual restaurant.

A must go to in the Grove. The staple for brunch, but wait is sometimes too much. Also great on Whiskey Wednesdays. Lamb burger is great, as well as all their pizza options.
Really good food here, the service or the server took a little while to even get to us but I think that was only because she didn't even know we were sat, the host just pretty much told us to sit anywhere and didn't give us menus but that did not derail us from enjoying the food because it was really just that good! And our server was quite good once she realized we were hers. Would come back to eat here again!

The overall experience was great. This place has an amazing breakfast and brunch dishes and vibes. However, it is very American traditional food, so don't expect diversity from it. Staff members are friendly and nice. One thing is that this place is extremely packed, expect around 10-20mins wait. Also, if you're here, try any dishes with potatoes, they're well cooked and delicious. Lastly, great environment to hangout with your fellows, it's definitely worth a try.

So....where do I begin??? The Bloody Mary was the highlight of my experience, not because it was the greatest but because the alcohol masked the mediocrity. The waiter, Efrain, actually asked my husband to hand him my dirty plate! The table was not really clean when we sat-some crumbs left over from the previous guest, but I overlooked it....then I started to look at the floor around me, which was filled with garbage: receipts, sugar packets, napkin rings and other detritus. And then I got my Coconut Crusted French Toast! All I can say, is that I made better French Toast at 15 than the chef at his restaurant! Not sure if he or she ever heard of the word 'custard' which was totally lacking in my dish. What I had, instead was a 3 inch thick piece of bread: dry and taste free. My side of potatoes were more tasty if only because they tasked like bullion and I like salt! But I don't go out to eat for bullion. And last but not least: the trash that accumulated on my table, (the aforementioned items that other patrons felt fit to discard in the floor) stayed there throughout our stay-Efrain never felt compelled to clear it off, or our dirty glasses.

CINNAMON ROLL PANCAKES. I feel like just ending the review there. I mean that's more than enough reason to go. It's a pancake that tastes like a cinnamon roll. It's amazing. So so good. Mimosas are good too :). My friends had omelets and said they were delicious along with the potatoes that were the best part supposedly. Only not five stars because parking is a mission and it's $10. Service is great and outside is ideal but inside is super cute with brick walls and books!

I had not been to the Grove in years, and it has definitely changed. I'm not sure if it was due to Spring Break, but Thursdays in the Grove is not what it used to be. Which, i actually prefer... i'm way past the crowded bars scene era. So GreenStreet... We ordered our drinks at the bar inside, which was entirely empty. Obviously, service was great since we were the only patrons inside. We proceeded to a table outside. All tables were full and some people at the bar. A friend soon joined and it took about 10 minutes to flag down the server for a drink. The poor girl was the only one serving the outdoor area, or it seemed. Service was quite slow and terrible. We ordered some food from the late night menu... Not sure if it's because it came out late, but food wasn't hot, just warm. * Chicken Fingers - meh. Nothing great about them, thick batter. * Hummus - good. Came with some pita, I would have liked them to be toasted, but whatever. * Goat Cheese Flat Bread - better than I expected. Menu should indicate it comes with roasted red peppers.

The bar is on a corner and is very lively. The lights hanging on top the bar are unique and looks like a dungeon. There's plenty of seating along the bar and there's alot of red velvety sofa chairs. Very chic and comfy! The menu has unique drinks, the usual cocktails, sangria, beer, wine, and a decent selection on draft. I tried Mango Rush with shipwreck Mango rum and pineapple juice. Sweet and juicy, well mixed. I saw a food menu too but we had just ate so couldn't stomach any more food. On a Friday night, it wasn't extremely crowded or loud. The parking is either parallel on the street or at a lot nearby. Usually there's a flat rate for the whole night.
Changing my review because the owner gave apology for long wait and hold the situation professionally. Good management is important.

It's OK, definitely overrated. 2.5 Stars Pros: Atompshere is very upbeat and hip. Good place for brunch and people watching. The inside is very beautiful and the bathrooms are artistic as well. The outside is more popular to just soak in the air and admire the neighborhood. The wait staff is very friendly. Cons: Very poor/disorganized level of service from the Host staff. We were quoted an hour and our name was put into the ipad. We waited in the bar area and noticed many other newcommers around us- on the waiting list as well. After an hour passed not only were we not called/paged, the host staff started coming around and personally picking groups of people that had just put their name in- to go to a table. We went up to ask what was going on and the host told us their ipad went down so they just started choosing people- literally. The food was mediocre at best and the menu was very limited. I don't like coming to a restaurant and waiting over the quoted time as the hosts are choosing what people they'd like to sit over the ones who have been waiting all this time. It's unprofessional and biased. 3 stars is very high for a place with ok food and bad service. Location and atmosphere is all they have to offer.

This place was very delicious. The French toasts are the best I've ever tasted and the omelet plates are huge and very filling-which I think is good according to the price. However I do think the orange juice which is always fresh and tasty is a bit pricy for 3-4oz. The place is beautiful, nice for a romantic date or an all girls day!

One word: UGH. I could not get out of this place fast enough. I'll just present some facts to you about my experience, and let you draw whatever conclusions you so desire. Got here around 9 AM on a Sunday, and waited over an hour for a table in the blistering heat of a June day in Miami. Went inside to order a drink at the bar in the hopes that the air conditioning would provide relief. It was shotty at best, and barely did anything since this place is packed like sardines with your typical Coconut Grove types. While standing at the bar, I waited about 10 minutes to be served, then another 5 to receive my two drinks, which cost me $20. The four of us were finally seated and waited another ridiculous amount of time to be served. 3 out of our 4 dishes arrived at once, within a reasonable amount of time. However, while the three of us with food tried to wait to start, the food was clearly not coming any time soon. Checked with the waiter twice, both times receiving some stuttered dumbfounded reply. Meanwhile, I reach the middle of my whole wheat pancake to find raw runny dough. Finally, after the three of us had our food for 20 minutes, we told the waiter that we had to leave and forget the fourth dish, and take back my uncooked pancake. The only time we were served appropriately was when given our check. Thankfully my pancake nor the missing fourth dish was included in that bill. Do yourself a favor and don't ever go here.

We dropped in last night for late night happy hour which is 11p to close. It was full but we found a little table by the bar. Loud music, maybe too loud, but still yummy drinks and the caramelized onion flatbread pizza was crazy crazy gooood! The mango martini is my new fave drink I discovered here a few weeks ago :) Highly recommend!

Ah, Green Street. Hands down, THEE place to people watch in the Grove. The place I drink champagne on a Friday nights until I just about fall over - for FREE (ladies special only). I can't tell you how many good times I've had here over the last 2 years - it's the go-to spot for my whole crew to hang out, discuss what we are doing for the weekend (and beyond) and shake off our hectic work week. The service is always great and the food is very basic, good and consistent. I usually end up ordering the margarita pizza or the mediterranian plate (grape leaves, generous pile of hummus and tabouli, pita) - always yummy. The calamari is just OK - not the best I've had, but still pretty tasty. A friend of mine orders the Bolognese pasta often and she always says it's very good too. I almost forgot about the Blue Moon beer specials - $3 a beer on Fridays... It's Friday and I'm headed over there tonight!

I am in a hard place. Wahhh! This place was good but quite pricy. I wanna give 3/5 stars because of the pricing, but I think that's silly of me because touristy areas are not going to be cheeeeeap :3 I'macheapladymeep! ANYWAY, the food makes it worth a 4/5. I love that they give you some sort of spicy baresque peanut mixture before you get your food. Yum! Swallow that stuff up! I ordered a veggie pizza that was vegan (cheeseless :D) without having to ask. The hostess asked me!!! (Do you want cheese? Nay!) I was glad to have that option. ^.^ It was a really good sized pizza! Nice place... open late... yay & yay! : )

This place might as well have a "Runners Welcome, Mimosas Flowing" banner as you approach the hostess stand on a Saturday morning-they are a favorite for early morning runners on Saturday- and my Team in Training team and alumni are no exception. We always get seated quickly ( even at times when the number of people in our party can go from 4 - 15), the service never suffers due to the overflow of orders and diet specific alterations to meals-and- you get eat a hearty breakfast for under 10.00, while sitting out on grand ave people watching and enjoying the Miami weather. Everyday they serve breakfast till 2pm- but on Saturdays and Sundays they do offer Eggs Benedict which do not disappoint. Not to mention their banana chocolate pancakes, or french toast - their pancake and french toast orders are gargantuan! I usually order their one egg ( which really looks like two) and it comes with a side of toast and their breakfast potatoes for 4.99. STEAL! the mimosas however, are 8.00 a flute- I would like to see a different pricing for that someday-your drink shouldn't cost more than your entire plate of food! They also have alot of a la carte items, as well as a full lunch/dinner menu after 12. I have never gone for anything other than breakfast- eventually I will. Other than that-this is a staple of my Saturday mornings in the grove with teammates- failthful service, and never disappointing.

Came out for a late lunch and received impeccable service. We decided to sit outside on the sidewalk to enjoy the weather along with the food. We were told we can sit anywhere we liked and the server promptly came out. He suggested the watermelon lemonade and brought out some bread. The lemonade was very good and after the bread was finished, he asked if we wanted some more. I really appreciate a waiter who checks up on the table every few minutes and this waiter was on point. As I ordered the blackened fish wrap he suggested I get it medium due to the cooking length possibly drying out the blackened fish. I took his suggestion and the wrap was great. I got the fries with the wrap and they were very good as well. Great service and great food at a price that won't break the bank.

Pretty good. Not bad. I've had better and I've had worse. It wasn't all that but I didn't feel like I got ripped off. The waiter spoke fluent enough English and that's always a plus. But honestly, I could take it or leave it. I probably won't miss it if I never eat there again.

GreenStreet Cafe is a must visit when you are in Coconut Grove. Food: I have only been there for Brunch multiple times on the weekends and it is one of the best (if not the best) places in Miami for Brunch. I have never been disappointed by the food at all. My favorite is the Spinach and Feta omelet with their potatoes. Very good! My wife always orders the Banana Pancakes and they are to die for. Fluffy, sweet, but not too sweet and overall delicious. Service: During Brunch the service is good. Have never had any complaints about it. Servers always have a smile on their face and are very helpful. Sometimes they seem to get sidetracked because of the amount of tables they are waiting but overall no complaints. At night the bar scene is pretty good. I have only ordered drinks by the outside bar and the bartender is quick and serves good drinks. Price is typical of what you would expect to find.

Great place for get togethers with friends especially for those who like a lounge type atmosphere with cool house music playing softly in the background. Their outdoor seating area is great ie., red velvet sofa's on the side walk definately a great way to spend time to relax, enjoy your company of friends, people watch and enjoy some drinks/ cocktails/ beer/ wine, etc. Try the Mango Mojito cant go wrong! The food offered there is good as well

If you haven't been here, you should go, not because its very good, more because its an institution. But the food is not amazing, and the staff is pretty bad all around. It's more about location and people watching than anything.

Sunday brunch at Green St is for all, young couples, yuppie families with dogs and small children...two-leggeds and four-leggeds! I've been to Green St for brunch twice now, and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience this time around. First time was "meh" and not worth an update. Had the nova benedict for brunch, this time I did not get toast with it. But it was completely delicious! Not your typical Hollandaise sauce, the potatoes were fried with onions this time around...very very tasty! I loved it and polished off ALL my food. My dining companion had a vegetable omelette which she says is her favorite at Green St. Waiter was very attentive, he came by to make sure her coffee was always refilled and warm. I was surprised, especially since it is SuperBowl weekend and it was crazy all around. I suppose one could get pleasantly surprised the second time around...:) Tip-bits: Heaters outside are on when it's cooler or chilly out Parking is $6 at the lot beside , self-park

This was a great find in the Grove. After wandering a bit and looking for a place to enjoy a glass of wine, the huge sidewalk patio and late hours (even on a Wednesday) brought us to Green Street. I ended up here 2 nights in a row. They have a good and reasonably-priced wine and draught beer selection. Although it was late, I can never resist food, so we checked out their Chorizo flatbread pizza - Chorizo on half bc I don't love meat. It was awesome and the perfect amount of food for a snack over a glass of wine. The service was good even though it was busy. I will definitely be back to Green Street the next time I'm in the Grove.

I would confidently say that this is the best place for a great breakfast in the Gables, and an even better Brunch on weekends. There is no shortage of outdoor seating so you can enjoy great food in the shaded outdoors of beautiful Coco Walk. My ideal breakfast here is starting off with a Mimosa.. or two, and ordering the delicious herb omelet with sauteed potatoes on the side. Green Street also houses my most favorite bagels in the world. They are always so fresh and crusty on the outside, mmm, it really hits home for me. Conclusion : The food is always delicious and amazing, the location and appearance are as good as it gets, AND you can have yourself a nice drink at breakfast without getting any looks! A+

Went to greenstreets last night! no big deal, usual spot in the grove.. one of the more relaxed places to hang out, sit down, if you can get a table or red velet couch and have a drink. The service is great, this one girl Alex is really the best, just dont be rude or crazy with her. They have tons of spicy bar munchies and if youre extra speical they give you some bruschetta on the casa. They had a sam adams beer sampling which i enjoyed so much i bought a beer! then some sambuca and threw some coffee beans in it.. started having alot of fun with coffee beans.. The food menu is not too extensive, but its definitely a great place for lunch or better yet brunch on the weekend! a must go in the grove for sure... the music was a step above the rest of the grove as well...

Got here at 11 was told wait was 30 minutes long. after patiently waiting until 12 was told we couldnt sit because kitchen was backed up. waited to be seated until 1215, and ordered pancakes and they had run out. Didn't even offer to invite me back, apologize, anything, they just lost me as a customer. go to lulus across the street instead. they wasted half of my sunday and the food wasnt even worth it.

my friend asked me to meet him here for a little biz talk last night, i had never been to green street before, didnt even notice it and this is kinda embarrassing as ive biked on main hwy at least eight hundred times. i really like their seating area outside, like liz t says, awesome antique wooden chairs ... i like that. i did not come in at all but it seemed like it was dark inside. about the service. i guess im picky, and i know this. im spoiled and potentially rude but i dont like it when a server seats you and says "hihowareyouwouldyoulikesomethingtodrink?" i like it when they respond. i usually respond "im good, how about yourself?" as soon as i hear 'how are you?' but rarely i get an answer. i know, im spoiled. its my bad education. i am aware. we ordered a few beers, oh yeah, all of their beers are only $4.50 after 10pm and wells are $6. so i had a few guinness draught and my friend had a few heinekens. we also shared a pizza margarita. pretty good pizza actually... and only 12$ overall, my experience was ok, i would come back for the food and inexpensive beers and hopefully i will get more attentive/personalized service and i will bump my rating up another star making it 4 solid stars.

I love the ravioli here. I've had the pesto ravioli several times and it is consistently good. The drinks are also tasty, yet strong. Great location with pleasant outdoor seating. And I love that they give a discount to locals (for take-out, at least).

Best restaurant in the Grove. Location is perfect. Food is good and consistent. No matter when you go, there are people there. The ambiance is great. It is truly a Grove staple. My favorite times to go are for dinner and drinks and weekend brunch. Be prepared to wait for those weekend brunches though, it gets packed; just sit back and wait at one of the many seating areas, order a bottle of champagne and drink some mimosas. Whiskey Wednesday's are fun. And any Friday or Saturday night is great too.

Can't stop raving about how perfect everything was on my plate. I had the cinnamon roll pancakes with cream on top scramble eggs with potatoes & while wheat toast & a Mimosa! Everything was so flavorful & the portions are so huge you can share. My boyfriend is an omelet lover & not only did he not speak during brunch he devour his omelet in 10 mins flat. I wish there was a higher star to give beaches this place would be the one getting extra brownie points for there perfection. Thank you !!!

I've seen the crowds and thought this place would be awesome. If you walk in, it's a very cool restaurant. It's a great place to come people watch as well. I have a friend who lives in the Grove so we could walk here.The food was actually decent. Not as awesome as I hoped though. My wife loved her french toast, she will likely rate this place 4 or 5 stars. I kept it at 3 because the food was a bit bland for my taste. The service was good enough.

Came for a Sunday Brunch was told that wait was 45 mins to an hour. 30 mins later we received a phone call and a text that our table was ready. We sat down, waiter was friendly and helpful, and the menu was full of delicious choices. We started off with mimosas and ordered cinamon roll pancakes and an omelet and it was delicious. Restraunt was a little loud for a brunch but what can you expect at a restaurant this famous. Love the experience and food I will be back.

I enjoyed dining at GreenStreet. We were able to obtain a table albeit near the bar quite easily on a busy weekday night without a reservation. Our server was prompt cheerful and attentive. Hummus appetizer was plentiful and the pita was soft and warm. With dinner I enjoyed a delightful wheat ale called Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' (7.5% alc.) Chicken curry ravioli was excellent. The curry was not overpowering and the topping of apples raisins and almonds is culinary genius. The ambience was great. An eclectic mix of ambient music and plenty of fans to keep the stifling mid-June Miami night air moving. The sidewalk is a constant show of Coconut Groveites (including a city commissioner and his wife). Would've gotten 5 stars except for: a little too dim to easily read menu, cigarette smoke wafting from bar to dining area, and a suspicious drifter continually walking back and forth eyeing my daughter's and other women's purses. Despite these issues I would return based on the food

Luis M.
Food is fantastic! Every time I come here I always order the Nutella French Toast, it's great. GreenStreet has a diverse selection for breakfast choices ranging from French toast, to omelets. I feel very comfortable eating outside because of the fresh air. The service is great, I almost always get the same waitress and she is just the sweetest person. Patient and with a positive attitude. GreenStreet definitely deserves these five stars.

We ended up here since there was an exorbitant waiting period for LoKal. Service was exceptional. Our waiter, Willie, was very attentive to our needs and we were a group of six. As for the food it was very good. I had the Lamb Burger which was good, but different. It's a popular item but I prefer a great burger instead. Wife had the Greek Salad which she said was good, but not exceptional. We were there for dinner and next time will take advantage of their brunch. Overall a really good eatery, will be back.

"I'll have the SaLmon and your cheapest pink wine" she said with her Miami girl accent. But seriously I know everyone comes here for Brunch but you're missing out on their great lunch. I love their blackened Salmon over a bed of spinach, cranberries and balsamic...delish and light.

Cindy M.
Not bad... Not great. My food arrived a bit cold so that was a bit displeasing. And my potatoes were kind of over cooked. Nutella French toast were not as big a deal for me. Also, the menu is a bit bland/boring. Nothing really made my mouth water as I tried to chose what to eat. But, I'd like to go once more and give them the benefit of the doubt since others seem to enjoy the place so much. Maybe it was just a bad day when I went.

A friend and I had dinner here on Saturday, Easter Eve. We arrived at around 10 p.m., were seated right away, and our server was Justin, who I remember as being a manager from Lulu across the street during one of my visits there a few months ago. Justin was easy to remember, as he has one of those amazing, always cheerful and outgoing personalities that one doesn't often find in the restaurant or customer service business. We ordered the hummus to share, my dining companion had the lamb chops and I ordered the blackened dolphin. Everything we tried was very good (though the sweet potato fries I ordered with my dolphin could've been a bit more flavorful) and service was spot on all night. We split the check evenly, and with the food mentioned above and a Corona, our bills came to about $34 each before tip. A few weeks prior to the meal described above, I'd stopped here at GreenStreet with a buddy of mine for drinks at around 11 p.m. on a Friday night. We were here for about an hour, I had 2 Magic Hat drafts and he had an iced tea, and our total with tax was under $8! Let me repeat...Late on a Friday night at one of the more trendy places in the Grove, and I paid $3.50 per draft. Compare that with nearby Bice at Cocowalk where they charge more than that for a soft drink!

In town for the weekend and we didn't feel like paying $100 for breakfast at the Ritz so we walked down to this area for breakfast. We called ahead on Saturday morning and had no problem getting them to save us a table outside. Hubby ordered nova benedict with a side of bacon. I ordered egg white omelette with veggies, raisin toast and fruit. First of all, our food took about 25 minutes to come out. When we told our waitress, she stated that "they lost the ticket". The nova benedict had been sitting out for a long time before it was brought out.. The hollondaise had congealed and looked pretty gross. We had to send it back. The omelette was overcooked, even for myself who likes her eggs well done. Really the only thing I was impressed with was the fruit bowl. The small size was a huge portion and had plenty of variety. I dunno. Maybe they were cooking our food for 25 minutes straight?? Kind of tasted like it.. Needless to say I don't think I'll be tempted to come back here. Maybe next time I'll try one of the plethora of other highly rated restaurants in the area. Next!

I've lived in Miami about 27 years and when I first use to come here it was pretty decent, now it's way over priced and the quality and service do not add up to what you're paying. A watermelon lemonade is $4 and it's the smallest cup ever. The waitress took forever to bring us water. Total and complete lack of attention towards the customer. The eating utensils were completely dirty and old and even had rust around the edges near the handle. And when we first arrived there wasn't even a hostess to greet and seat us, we had to wander and find someone to help us. Never coming here again. Complete disappointment!!

Kay B.
One of my friends and mine's favorite spot!! If it was closer to school we would probably go there weekly. Well we kinda already do. Haven't been disappointed yet. I have had a veggie omelette and added go cheese, they are very hefty on their cheese portions. The cinnamon roll pancakes are to die for. I have also tried The salmon dip appetizer which was pretty good. But the best thing they have on the menu is probably the goat cheese ravioli! Delicious. I've also tried the Lamb burger which was good even though I'm not a big burger fan. And the pastry crested brie appetizer is also scrumptious. The only downside to this restaurant is the service can be a little slow. The restaurant could be not even half empty and still takes 30 minutes to get your food. Still going to give it five stars though

I have been here a few times but please avoid this place on a Sunday especially if you are in the mood for brunch. We were a party of 2 and it took us 1hr 15 mins to get a table and another 35 mins to get a pancake and scrambles eggs. Poor service as the waiters and kitchen is overworked. Avoid the place after 10:30am!!! Not worth the wait

So I went to this place for a friends birthday lunch. It was both of our first time to go there. It was so delicious !! I can honestly say that what you pay for is what you get. The only bad thing is that I didn't like the homemade watermelon lemonade it was super sour and unable to drink . Over then that it has a beautiful atmosphere great music, service , and lastly great food! Dessert the Nutella French toast is the best thing there

I've heard so many great things about this place, but when I finally went for the first time the other day i was impressed. Pretty sure it was what u ordered- a boring turkey sandwhich. Meanwhile everything that everyone ordered around me looked great. I deff have to come back to have breakfast!

The food here is great, my favorite is the nutella french toast. I don't go often because the wait time is terrible for brunch, and you cannot make reservations on the weekend which is a big boooo for me. The mimosas are really good too as well as the omelets. The service is good overall, a bit slow most likely due to how busy this location is. Please open another location in broward!

Gaby B.
Greenstreet is A-ok in my book. Food is good (albeit a little pricey for what it is). Brunch is really good, what can I say I'm a sucker for a nutella french toast. What I really love about GreenStreet is that they have a drink special every night of the week. Mondays 1/2 off wine bottles , Tuesdays I'm not sure, Wednesdays - whiskey wed ( all whiskeys are 5$) great deal and super fun, it gets packed. Thursdays its mojitos and Fridays happy hour & girls drink free champagne 4-7. Definitely a place worth checking out if you're in the area. Also they serve brunch everyday until 3 I believe.

While originally I was upset at a bartender about his demanding for a tip, lying about price, and language, when a tip is determined by the customer, the owner contacted me and after a conversation identified that the change will take place. It did. While I did continue to go to the bar and restaurant and brought a lot of business to this location I will avoid those that seem "fake" behind the bar or plainly rude to customers. There are two others I wish I could name that are awesome, I think one is Cuban but explained that many think he is Turkish, great example of an employee who is deserving of a tip and a raise, lol the other guy... I hope he no longer works there because the place is awesome. Judge their character if they seem fake, and get rude, I would walk away without thinking twice. If they are awesome leave an awesome tip, that's how the system works, it's not a guarantee.

The food was decent. The people watching was great. The service was pretty slow considering it was noon on a Monday. I had the herb omelette with tomatoes. It looked dry and overcooked from the outside but actually was very tasty and moist on the inside. If you are in Coconut Grove, definitily check out this spot. And give yourself plenty of time since you'll probably be waiting for your drinks and food for a bit.

Came here on a Wednesday night, summer time never having been to the Grove before... Everyone is very young. Not just college age but very young college aged great, I was 18 once and I loooooved a good spot to go! So if you're 18-20 this is perfect! At the ripe age of 24 they didn't give a crap about me being of age as I patiently waited my turn to order shots and under aged kids cut me off and brushed against me. No problem, until the bartender told me I wasn't in line and started to take orders of people who came after me. A GOOD bartender pays attention to the order of people showing up to the bar, maybe I'm used to that from the wynwood, south beach, midtown bars I normally go to.. But this bartender blew me off for a 19 (guessing by looks) year old guy.. I was pissed and went back outside and around the corner. Found a bar stool to just sit down on and catch my breath and get over it- literally one second later I'm asked what I'd like! I was blown away! The new bartender didn't know what a Vegas bomb was but worked with me and accommodated me. He was amazing!! Great music and cool vibe minus my initial experience but I won't be back this summer.

The best thing about GreenStreet is the outside seating in a very nice area, plenty of people to see and be seen by. This end of the street is actually a little busier than the Grand St end. I stopped here with a couple of my colleagues for dinner and sat on a low rise area where we could see everyone. Had their calamari, hummus and flatbread apps. Wasn't happy that they don't have Guinness on tap, but they had it in a bottle. Dinner was great too, everything on the menu is a good choice. I love their salmon salad and penne bolognese. People eat late in Miami so don't be surprised if they are packed at 9pm.

Had breakfast here with my husband and we fell in loveeee with the food. The service was great! The eggs were cooked to perfection, and my bread and nice and warm... And of course the Nutella Fench Toast (you must try) was amazingg! I also got inspired by this recipe and made it at home :P

Excellent and very plush outdoor seating gives you a sense that you're in a luxurious den enjoying a delicious supper. All that was missing was a fire pit and a cigar if you ask me! I enjoyed a few appetizers and our waitress was excellent. Only distraction was the pigeons that are actively checking in on you as much as the waitress. Do God's work and throw em a few crumbs for a few mins of peace and expect them to check in again.

A staple for breakfast in the Grove. Everyone's been here at least once. I really like the decor inside, there's old books and wrought iron and bricks everywhere. They have awesome mimosas, but they're $9.00! My favorite is the Nutella Filled French Toast and the Goat Cheese Omelette (I get it with mushrooms but it comes with tomatoes). What I really like is they don't skimp on the Nutella or the Goat Cheese. I didn't like the grits, they were too thick. And they don't have a kids' menu for breakfast. Parking is tough, and the lot next door is $6.00 even during the week.

I've been coming here for years and what I love most is the consistency. People are friendly, the staff is always on point and it's great food. When going for lunch, I highly recommend the salads. Based on your palate, they have an amazing variety. Brunch which is my personal favorite is always a treat with favorites like Nutella stuffed French toast, delicious omelets and the best Bloody Mary in town. If you're looking for a spot to have dinner or light bites, they've had some great stuff on the menu for years but also new additions like a artichoke spinach dip with truffle! Yum! I have to note this place is great for people watching or a gathering with friends or family as well as "date night". Head over and if you live in the Grove ask about the Grove discount! Owner Silvano has done a GREAT job and his management team including new addition Sean rock! I'm a local and working in the media I come across so many places regularly which don't "get it". Green Street does! Salud!

Stumbled upon this place with a good friend and co worker by my a recommendation that the brunch was good but came way too late for brunch and wanted to give dinner a try. Our server Dwight was funny and sweet. Probably one of the nicest server in Miami and very attentive. The food was good and drinks were ok. The atmosphere was kind of chill and service was excellent. What we had.. My drink; Lychee strawberry martini (2/5) - it was ehh..way too strong.. A good drink is where there is a right amount of alcohol and mix that you don't taste the alcohol but know its not watered down. His drink: Asian equation (2/5) - same as above Shared app: chorizo Mac and cheese (4/5) Delicious and had a nice kick to it. It could of been more cheesier in my opinion but I enjoyed it My main course: catch of the day red snapper (5/5) I thought it was really fresh and well prepared and the sauce was not overpowering. I did not find it oily at all. His main course: lasagna (4/5) it was really good but I have to take a star off that it was kind of burnt but tasted homemade Dessert: Nutella stuffed French toast ala mode with syrup on the side (you have to ask for it ala mode and with syrup...totally worth it) (5/5) it was like the best of two world brunch item for dessert. Really hit the sweet spot. Our server must of read our minds as we were enjoying our entree actually he saw our drinks were empty and brought out my friend a nice cold beer and me a Chardonnay which was what I was thinking of wanting to go with our meal. Overall (4/5) will be back for brunch and will ask for Dwight again. He's such a funny sweet server.

Excellent local restaurant! Solid, consistent, friendly-- highly recommended. I tend to eat out a lot. So when I find a place that has good food, with a great environment at a fair price, I tend to go back .... often. GreenStreet is one of those places. And some of the staff deserve extra credit including the hard-working day manager Nick; and awesome bartenders Amy, Rebecca & Emily.

My brother lives in the Coconut Groove area and suggested that we eat at this restaurant for brunch. We arrived around 12:00pm on Sunday and it was apparent this was the brunch "hot spot". We went to the hostess and were told we had a 15-20 minute wait. We didn't mind, 80 degree weather and outside sitting chairs with shade--no problemo! After our wait, we were escorted to two small round tables outside. I am not sure how big the tables are inside but trying to put plates on small round tables for 6 people was not fun. Our server came out and seemed a little nonchalant and got straight to taking our order. Our food was amazing and fresh---I think we almost ordered everything on the menu. My husband got the cinnamon roll and this was really good (he got a few other things but this really stood out on my taste buds). I got pancakes with fresh fruit, bacon and eggs. It was all delicious. I have to give this place a four because one our waiter was nonchalant--not sure if this is Miami culture or if he was over the crowd. Two: I asked the waiter to bring me milk when our food came out and he told me to "remind him" . I didn't remind him, kinda think it's his job to remember my order--but who am I--needless to say I never got my milk. Three my order of hash browns ended up on my dad's plate. And four the tables were small and trying to fit all of our food on the conjoined tables was a hassle. Never the less, the food was amazing esp for just brunch food, I like the cute location and set up, and my brother is a regular. If I am ever back in the area I will def. come back. But hopefully I get another waiter!

Went here on a trip to Miami! Found Coconut Grove to be enchanting. Green Street Cafe was perfect for what we were looking for , just some appetizers and drinks. Very impressed with it, quality and service. There was four of us, and we went there after being out on the boat all day, let us sit outside, we were casually dressed and they didn't have a problem with it.

It's a two hour wait every weekend morning for a reason--best brunch in Miami. One of few places in Miami that lives up to its hype. There's simply no where else you can find such an elaborate menu, from the gourmet coffees, to the choice of breads, hearty omelettes and pancakes to fulfill whatever brunch mood you're in--sweet or savory Not only does it all taste amazing, it's perfectly priced and gives huge portions! The vibe and outdoor seating is just a bonus. If only the entire population of Greater Miami wasn't also aware of how great a spot this is....

Service is a tad slow. But besides that, overall it's worth coming back. Mimosas are great with the natural squeezed orange juice. Had the cheeseburger, taste was excellent. The lobster ravioli is also very good.

We had the ceviche and the truffle spinach dip as an appetizer. The ceviche was delish with octopus and Sciaenidae fish. The dip was done well and was tasty. For dinner we had duck salad and skirt steak. The duck salad was great and would recommend this. The skirt steak and the sauce were fabulous and was seasoned well. The vegetables were done just right and complimented the steak. The location was great and if you are seated outdoors it is great people watching. The ambiance inside is cozy, fun and just a great place for dinner. My server was knowledgable and friendly. I would recommend coming for dinner to anyone who is in the area.
I go to law school up in Jersey and Greenstreet brunch is always my first stop when I come home for the holidays. Your bartenders Amy and Emily are awesome! I've never seen a better bartending team work so well together behind such a small bar. I also had the pleasure of meeting the manager Nick today and he was just as pleasant as Amy and Emily. Congratulations for having them on your team! Keep it up!

This is one of my favorite places for breakfast. the goat cheese and tomato omelet or the nutella filled french toast are to DIE for !!!. Don't forget to try the watermelon lemonade and the cappuccino with cinnamon.. i have never been disappointed..

After sitting and waiting for a ridiculous amount of time on both breakfast occasions, I've found that the wait really isn't worth it. I think people must be in love with the outdoor seating area, which of course is nice, but the food is so generic it could be the same food as Denny's. Just really not worth the hype surrounding it, seems like a tourist trap.

Had to return and update my review because it just seemed so... Out of date! After my initial review the restaurant owner was gracious enough to contact me via Yelp and extend an invitation to come back and give the restaurant another try. I suppose he was certain that my experience may have been unique, I assume, but nevertheless after several months I decided to give it another chance. Boy, it didn't disappoint. From the get go the staff was very kind and attentive. It was early morning on a weekday so there wasn't the large bustling crowds you find on the weekends, which was a welcomed change in my book. Food was served mighty fast and tasted fresh. I had the goat cheese omelette, and man, it was just bursting with bold flavors. I paired it with their mimosa for the one-two combination. Boom! Loved it. This dude is most definitely going back. Hell, I might just make it my go-to spot for morning meetings over breakfast. A very special thank you to Sylvano for clearly appreciating his customers, even when it's just someone like lil 'ol me.

First time being here. We came here for brunch, but we all ordered from the lunch menu. The pasta is delicious. Two of us got the chicken tetrazzini and a lobster ravioli. Both were so good! The spinach dip was amazing, but the chips were soggy from the humidity. I wish they had more fans outside, especially since it's summer time. We were melting! I ordered a mimosa and they talked me into the strawberry one. Didn't particularly enjoy it, but one is enough for a good buzz. Our server, Jennifer was super nice and helpful with the menu. I would definitely go again and give their breakfast menu a try.

Cool, inviting, upbeat atmosphere. Fair service (can't be very slow at times). Right in the heart of Coconut Grove. And, honestly one of the best yellowtail snapper fillets I've ever had, and I eat fish constantly. The sauce the fish came drenched in was amazing. I can't comment on the rest of the menu, but this dish wowed me!

GREENSTREET is my favorite restaurants in the grove area. They are open until 3 AM Wednesday-Saturday. The manager, Shawn, is super sweet and likes to get to know his customers. If you're looking at the late night menu, the flatbread pizzas are all excellent! The speciality cocktails are all good, but the best one is the raspberry lemon drop martini. Fast service, nice waiters, nothing bad to say about this place.

Green street is known for brunch and they are very good at it. They are a bit pricey but it's good food. Downside to green street the wait time on a Sunday is ridiculous.

Greenstreet attracts most of its customers because of its location and atmosphere... It has a really upbeat and young vibe and is located right in the heart of Coconut Grove... It gets a big crowd on the weekends and on its special Whiskey Wednesdays... The food is not extraordinary but they have a good selection of salad, pizza, and other modern American dishes. They are known for their brunch where they offer a delicious menu of anything from Spinach Feta Omelette to Red Velvet Pancakes to Nutella French Toast. Their dishes are tasty and come in big portions

I have a love hate relationship with greenstreet, I love their cinnamon roll pancakes, but I hate their service. I hadn't been back for a year due to a mistake of theirs last year where they charged my credit card twice, took me weeks back and forth with management to try to get things sorted out until I resorted to just do a chargeback with my card. I went again yesterday for breakfast with the family. The server was just rude, he was an older gentleman and maybe due to the heat and humidity outside he was just not in a good mood but hey that's not my fault. A family member was cut on her finger with a piece of glass on her chair, the server said he'd let management know, I'm still waiting to see a manager come to apologize, it was a small cut but her two year old baby was with her and it could have cut him instead, not acceptable. I am not THAT in love with their food to make up for the repeat service woes I've experienced with their restaurant. Don't even bother ordering the iced latte or mocchachino unless you're into coffee that's more like dirty water. Sorry but they just won't be seeing me waiting 30 minutes + to eat there again.

Food and drinks are incredibly overpriced. We had 4 mixed drinks, hummus, a cheeseburger and a salad and spent $110 + tip. The $$ price rating yelp gives this place is underrated. Both rounds of drinks took about 15-20 minutes to receive and the were only mildly busy. The first round were margaritas and they were probably the worst margaritas I've ever tried. The second round was a purple dragon, which was pretty good. The food was tasty but expensive
I deleted my previously scathing review because we went back after a year and got a very friendly and professional apology from the owner (apparently the manager we'd had an issue with was let go). Green Street's been a staple of my family's for 15+ years. My dad used to go daily! The salads, the pancakes, the sandwiches, the drinks, everything's great. None of us live in Miami anymore, but when we're back in town, we always go there for brunch.

Ok so the brunch here is amazing. The eggs are so yummy and the nutella french toast is to die for. The only but here is the wait. HOLY COW! You have to get there early if you want to wait an hour , if you get there at 10 or 11 the wait is about 3 hours long. Are they out of their mind? So if you have a whole day to kill come here food is great anyway.

Sunday Brunch: French toast are amazing, the lamburger was good but I was expecting better. Bloody Maria was amazing and I hate Bloody Marys. Strawberry Lychee Martini is also phenomenal.

The positive: far and away the best location in the Grove for outdoor seating and people watching. The negative: The food does not live up to the ambience. In fact, you're being served what is essentially diner style fare. Worse yet, they seem to have grown too big for their own good. At any given time the unhelpful hostess is likely to tell you that your wait will be 45 minutes even though in reality it is likely to be less than 15 minutes. Not sure why they do this but if it's meant to make the place more attractive it's weird we had the opposite effect on us. The verdict: If you happen to score a seat without a wait when you're thirsty for a decent Mojito this is a good place to visit. If you're looking for a nice breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner place keep looking to move on.

I just want to compliment your manager Nick. I am a regular and can always tell when Nick is on duty because the restaurant is running so smoothly. Nick does a great job managing the restaurant and especially keeping the servers and customers happy and satisfied. Thank you Nick for always making my Greenstreet visit an enjoyable one!

Derek was awesome!! We sat at the bar, and Derek was our bartender. He was fantastic. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best experience possible. I ordered a macallan on the rocks. He offered, based on a previous drink, to cedar smoke my scotch. I agreed, and this was the best decision I could have made. It was delicious. Many props to Derek.

I don't have images to attached to each experience I've had at green street because my plate is usually devoured within the matter of milliseconds...no kidding ! I always come here on Sunday's usually with a tight night of friends as it is not the place for large groups and I actually dig that the most of this place; I love this little spot in the grove. Try their eggs Benedict, still happens to be my favorite dish here... they do it so well!

One more Coconut Grove disappointment.... We were a party of 5 on a Saturday night. We arrived at 8pm, with the place still half empty and were seated right away. Our waiter was really nice and knowledgeable, giving us good suggestions and demonstrating he knew well the menu. We ordered and our drinks and appetizers arrived promptly and were all very good. Unfortunately that's when everything started going down hill. About the time our appetizers arrived we noticed the restaurant starting to get really full, and by the time our entrees arrived the place was packed. Our food arrived, although we waited for it a little bit longer than we would have liked, and two people had ordered burgers, both medium rare. One was more towards done and the other was clearly overcooked. The waiter apologized and said he would take it back and return with another one really quick. Well, we tried eating very slow to wait for our friend that had no food, but by the time her burger came back we had all finished eating. What came back? Another overcooked burger..... What's the point of asking how you want your meat done if you're not going to do it? My friend decided to eat it anyway. The waiter was mortified and said he would bring the manager to talk to us. He came back three times to ask if the manager had stopped by but of course he hadn't. He offered to get us dessert on the house and two of us said, sure, just bring us a scoop of vanilla ice-cream each. 5 min later another waiter just stops by and puts two bowls of ice-cream at the table and leaves.... with no spoons!!! We spend 10 min trying to get any waiter's attention to ask for spoons and when one of us finally walks in and asks one of them for spoons she comes out and brings just one. When we ask for a second one she rolls her eyes and acts like we're being super demanding and brings back another spoon and practically throws it on the table. Bottom line... the food is ok, nothing to write home about but don't expect great service, especially when the place is full, they clearly don't give a damn.

This is a great place for early morning coffee and breakfast. The staff is friendly and efficient, the food is served in large portions and the outdoor seating allows for people watching. I lounged here over breakfast for an obscene amount of time (as is my habit) and was never hurried or bothered. My server just kept refilling my water, refreshing my coffee and smiling. I will definitely return.

Was in town for a wedding, exploring the area and the crowd of people waiting outside brought us in. We grabbed a couple cocktails at the bar-ambiance was great. Ended up coming back a couple days later for lunch on our way out of town. Food was fantastic, we filled up on the salmon dip so I wasn't able to eat as much of my sandwich and fries as I would have liked. But would definitely recommend. Delish!

I've been to lots of places all around the world; while drinks and prices may vary slightly, it's still essentially the same business. Personality is the only reason to visit a bar more than once, and between Emily and Rebecca, Greenstreet Cafe fills its quota by the boatload! Merry Christmas girls!

This was the worst service I have ever experienced. The front of house staff was completely incompetent and the manager couldn't be trusted to manage a Subway Shop. We waited for an hour and a half. They closed the kitchen all because of a small community parade that had been going on for 30 years. I guess that an established restaurant with years of experience had no plan for the annual event. Here is some advice even a child could figure out. Either don't promise tables until after the event or make it clear there is a time limit for how long you can sit. I'd stay away since this total incompetence would signal horrible management any day.

greenstreet is a little gem in the grove. very yummy food and reasonably priced (steak and eggs only $12!) steak was cooked perfectly. eggs were overdone but scrambled usually are for me. they have the best bloody Mary's, get a blushing geisha. spicy and delicious but not overpowering. only problem is that they're always packed!went at noon on a Friday and had to 45 minutes for a table. maybe make a reservation if they take them.

Service is always on point here. The food is great, trying a non brunch item today for the first time. I usually eat French toast or eggs/omelette or pancakes. The signature drinks are delicious too! Today I'm trying the lamb burger with a side of asparagus. Hope it's as good as everything else on the menu. The only downside is the wait - usually 45min to an hour on Sunday afternoons. But they are just so busy! We bring the dog and sit outside, lots of good people watching and coco walk is around the corner!

Great food, noisy area, does not take reservations, usually pretty good service. I've come for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner and it is almost always the same good service and good food. They allow dogs which is a plus for me, not for everyone. ** If you want to come for Sunday brunch, prepare to wait at least one hour to be seated!**

Isaac G.
Just sat down. The place smells bad. Tables are dirty. Ask the bus boy to clean up the table and he used a dirty towel which he used for alreay many other tables, to simply smear the leftover food on our table. Got up and left the place. Oh yeah - the menues were filthy as well.

I love this place. They do everything right from food to drinks to decor i love it. I used to frequent this place quite a bit sadly i moved north. But i have such fond memories of this place. Food. Its tasty and looks pretty, they have a great brunch, lunch is great and not as packed and there dinner is very yummy with a healthy-ish bar menu. They are always packed. But are well staffed I never had an issue with the service, They have a great bar scene at night which is so much fun, met my fiance here over a bottle of wine. Speaking of wine they have an excellent wine selection. I love the huge chairs in red velvet, that is a romantic touch great for canoodling i mean you can fit three people in one chair! Its a fun place full of beautiful people check it out.

I enjoyed the ambiance here. Lovely red velvet, high back, tufted chairs lined the brick sidewalk. The patio seating area was also covered by rectangular umbrellas. Definitely a great venue to chill and enjoy the beautiful Miami weather. It was a pleasant surprise on a Monday night to learn that this restaurant offers 1/2 off every bottle of wine (Mondays only). Quite naturally, I used this opportunity to taste their coveted Barolo Pio Cesare. It's normally $93 but the Monday special cut that in half, which made it well worth the splurge. Next, I decided to get their Jamaican chicken wings to complement the hearty wine. In my mind, these wings were supposed to be "jerk" seasoned and a bit spicy. In reality, they we basically blackened wings with no real flavor profile. Seven wings come in an order for $9. More than $1/wing is not good when the wings aren't good. At least the wine and ambiance carried the night.

I've been a customer at Greenstreet for a while now and the food is always consistent. We came for Mother's Day yesterday so a wait was expected. I think anyone who decides to dine out on major holidays better be prepared for some bumps in the road. No worries. I had the Eggs Benedict with a side of bacon, of course. Everyone's orders came out perfect and delicious, including my favorite, their Bloody Mary. Service is always good, food delicious. BLOODY MARY BRO -TPK

Had Brunch at Greenstreet again during the Mango Strut Parade , also known as the busiest day of the year and let me tell you I've never seen a bar so busy in my life. Not once was I waiting to be served. I don't know what these bar tenders are on but Amy and Emily were on FIRE! I can honestly say they are the best bartending duo I have eevr seen. Also, who ever was managing that morning deserves an award cause Greenstreet was insanely packed. I've been in the business for 6 years and the Mango Strut parade is a managers nightmare I'm sure. I love Greenstreet. Best brunch spot in Miami.

Bob B.
Many times here, and food good on all visits - although the brunch/breakfasts are to me the best. Great atmosphere at the abundant outdoor seating , including the big outdoor bar and novel red velvet settees and heat lamps. Tonight a puff pastry wrapped Brie, and crispy thin chorizo pizza. Took forever for food to come out, but the 2 bartenders were very gracious and comped a few nice tap beers. Read the other reviews on the brunch food and excellent cocktails for grown-ups. Excellent people watching location at a busy intersection. Pup friendly. It's a nice quick drive from the airport and South Beach, and worth it for a much nicer experience and more subtle but upscale environment.

Stopped by last Saturday for brunch. GreenStreet was packed, and we were told the wait would be between 45 minutes and an hour. My bestie and I didn't mind and walked over to the bar to indulge in some bellinis. We ended up having 3 bellinis each before we were seated, but the bar tender was lovely and the weather in the outside bar was spectacular so we didn't mind. Once seated, our waiter quickly came to take our order, the menu had so many delicious options that we had to ask for more time about 3 times. We couldn't make up our minds! Finally I opted for the Fig salad, while my friends had a cheeseburger and a fried portabella mushroom sandwich. HOLY cheezus, the fried portabella sandwich was AMAZING! And I'm actually already planning a return to GreenStreet JUST for that dish. The service was excellent and the food was really good. I definitely recommend for brunch!

A few months ago, for some reason, this spot had some sort of CRAZY hype. Almost everyone I knew was "instagramming" their Nutella french toasts from here and hashtagging brunch time and all that typical stuff. Although it is a great brunch spot, it would just get so so full on the weekends and I am not a fan of waiting 1hr + to be seated :-( ...especially when I'm starving! So i wouldn't go much, buuuuuut...... Now that their hype has died down a bit, I've decided to frequent this spot for brunch. Our wait time was 20-30 minutes, but we ended up waiting less than 15 mins. We were told that they would text us when our table was ready. They first sent a text with our wait time and a link; we were monitoring how many parties we had ahead of us with a link we were given. When we received the text, we showed it to the hostess and were directed to a table. Our server wasn't much of a talker but he was nice. I ordered the scrambles eggs with jerk spices and my fellow foodie best friend ordered a feta cheese and spinach omelet. Both of our meals came with potatoes and our choice of bread. I asked the server to add sausage to my entree, and apparently their was a miscommunication of some sort because my eggs came with pieces of sausage cooked in it. I didn't mind or tell the server- for what? the eggs were still delicious! We also ordered the Nutella-stuffed french toast to share. We loved our meals, as usual. I love their eggs with jerk spices!! I look forward to making more stops here for brunch since their meals are great and their wait time is now reasonable!

GreenStreet has remained pretty solid throughout the years. There's definitely nothing exciting about sitting indoors, all the action is happening outside. Seating is adequate, but fills up fast with large groups who are most likely going to set-up camp for the evening. Whiskey Wednesdays are a great deal - you can't beat $5 Black Label.

Excellent spot for brunch, lunch and dinner with beautiful outside and inside seating and delicious food. To top it off, the service is always perfect even when it's a busy, rainy day like it was today. John (server) and Shawn (manager) made our daughter's birthday brunch a memorable one, with exceptional service and accommodation. We will continue going back to Greenstreet for years to come!

Sydney M.
I have a love/hate relationship with Greenstreet. The food is typically delicious, don't get me started on their truffle fries, but the service is always horrible. I know that I night they're a popular hotspot... And for that reason you'd think they would know to have more people working! Getting the check and then getting the check back is always impossible... And once my water glass is empty it stays that way for the rest of the night. Nightlife is always fun, especially whiskey Wednesday, but just know that if you go for food, it will taste great but the service will be lackluster.

Four of us stopped here for lunch and drinks on a Saturday. The wait was enjoyable on the comfortable couches and I even got my shoes shined while enjoying the great people watching. Lunch was excellent! Lamb burger was cooked to perfection and endive salad was just the right portion. Spinach dip was delectable but authentic chips would be a great addition. Excellent choice in Grove.

This local breakfast-brunch restaurant is absolutely the best!!! Starting with the atmosphere where you feel like everyone is on vacation at all times. The place is super clean, staff is super professional and the food is outstanding. I kept going back and not wanting to go anywhere else because their food is so good. I had the Nutella French toast which is perfect dor the Nutella lover. But then I tried the Coconut Crusted French Toast and fell in love. Their potatoes are so good, not to mention that my Iced Caramel Macchiatto was to die for.

My best friend and I stopped by Greenstreet a few weekends ago and had an amazing experience. The restaurant provides a chic and warm environment, as well comfortable outside seating with friendly staff. Our waiter Efrain, was very courteous, friendly and his knowledge of the menu was amazing. The fact that he was well groomed, and attractive only adds to the dining experience. The menu was explained in detail as he walked us through the menu, and made recommendations. Efrain introduced us to a variety of bubbly's and kept our glasses full , he suggested the eggs benedict with the Nutella stuffed French toast which were right on the mark, and asked several times if we were satisfied with our meal. Needless to say, we were extremely well fed, and his attention to our meal and our pleasure in it, was outstanding. The food was delicious and a great value for the price, I also have to admit that it is great service; which nowadays is so hard to find, that will keep me going back to Greenstreet.

Coconut Grove is easily one of my favorite neighborhoods in Miami. It's hip and chic in equal measure, with... sounds silly, but great landscaping. Lots of green and close to the water. To be cool and attractive here is a feat in itself. And GreenStreet is probably the prettiest cafe in all of the Grove. Am-bee-aaaaance, dahling. Go and over a cocktail--they're superb anytime outside of peak hours. And brunch. Brunch hard my friends. Just brace yourself for, well, bracing service, on-the-whole.

Great Cafe for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and even late hanging in Coconut Grove. The staff is always friendly and professional. I love to sit outside and enjoy Their food, my favorite dishes are The Goat Cheese Bruscheta, The Greek Salad and their Calamari appetizer. It is a perfect place to meet with friends and hand in the grove. I been going to Greenstreet for such a long time and never get tired. It is like my backyard in the Grove.

Was referred to this place by some locals and it was yummy! Wasn't worth the $50 for two people but it was standard. I got the spinach & feta omelette and it was yummy. The man got herbs and tomato omelet and it was very flavorful. Very nice waitress and fast service considering how large this restaurant is.

The waiter was attentive, despite being spread quite thin across 6 tables. The tables next to us were moved together to accommodate a teacher and 12 students, one of which was the son of a very famous basketball player. The kids were really loud, which drastically lowered the value of my experience, however that isn't really the restaurants fault. We ordered the Salmon Penne, which isn't on their menu anymore, but to my pleasure the chef said he would make it. Food was hot and delicious as remembered, the waiter was polite, and besides the unnecessary shouting, it was a nice lunch. If you like Salmon, ask the chef to make the Penne for you, it's coated in a delicious cream sauce and as usual is a huge portion.

I visited this place for Sunday Brunch because of the reviews. I arrived at 12noon and it was a 2 hour wait. I was shocked but decided to wait around and see. They will text you when a table becomes available. We were sitting outside waiting on the comfy couch and after 30minutes I learned I could order take-out from the inside bar and eat on the comfy couches that also had a table in the front.. Well we did just that and it was still perfect because the weather was perfect. I had scramble eggs, pancakes and it was ALL delicious.. I totally recommend this place.. Its a fun, happy chic atmosphere. A perfect outdoor eating when the weather is good.. I will be returning but I will arrive at 10am to try and get a table

Honestly if I could give this place more than just five stars I would. Not only is the service fantastic, but the food is delicious, perfectly prices, and well-portioned. Sometimes the wait is long but with the app they use it tells you the wait time and exactly how many people are ahead of, which is perfect since the location is beautiful and allows you to walk around without being worried that you will miss your table since the app is on your phone. This has become my usual go to brunch location. PS. Dogs allowed (always a plus).

My husband and I are having an absolutely amaze experience here! I ordered the curry chicken ravioli which was fabulous. The taste with the raisins for added sweetness was absolutely delicious, as was my peach Bellini. Julio ordered the classic cheeseburger which he is enjoying, and we loved the French fries so much we ordered an extra side! Our waiter has been friendly and attentive despite the fact that he is extremely busy. He was very helpful to us as an indecisive couple in making our meal selections. We will definitely be back for breakfast!

My first review has to be on one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The restaurant that started making me a big foodie 4 years ago.... Greenstreet Cafe! Ambiance is everything with me when it comes to my restaurants and greenstreet is the definition of great ambiance. There restaurant is set up like a french bistro with plenty of greenery from the grove. Always sit outside (unless theres a hurricane), it makes the food much better and there are alot of people to watch The brunch is legendary, soft buttery french toast, great omelette selections (goat cheese and tomato!) and the banana and blueberry pancakes. Even the free bread is great! The Chorizo Mac and Cheese is a must for an appetizer! The Truffle Fries and Tuna Tartare are favorites as well. For Lunch/Dinner: I suggest the Lamburger, Skirt Steak, Lamb Chops, Sylvano's Linguini, Linguini w/ clams as well the various salads. Greenstreet will never get old to me. The food is consistently great and the service is even better. Dont hesitate to give me a shoutout when you see me stuffing my face at this wonderful place

I had been wanting to visit this place for quite some time now and all was well except for one thing, there was a curly hair in our nutella french toast ! Yikes ! They were nice enough to take it off our bill & give us 2 free mimosas. However, the food tasted great, especially the cinnamon pancakes! I would go back just for those. The mimosas were delicious and overall i really enjoyed myself.

Love the brunch, just hate the long wait at times (especially on weekends). Nutella stuffed french toast is a must try, and I like to keep it simple with just an omelet or scrambled eggs, and the potatoes and toast it comes with.

I've only ever sat outside here - the weather has (luckily - so far) always permitted it, and the ambiance outside is great, either for a ladies' night, or a date night. Food isn't particularly fancy, but it *is* delicious - and the portions are sizeable. Not the fastest service in Miami, but given how popular they always seem to be, they do a very reasonable job. Definitely worth going to if you're in the Grove!

A great spot for drinks and people-watching and a Coconut Grove staple. It's worth a visit to hangout with friends.

Green Street has delicious food but after my experience last night, I will never return. The customer service that I received was horribly unprofessional. When I showed the bartender my legitimate identification he refused to serve me. After showing multiple other forms of identification to prove that I was not using a fake ID and that I am truly 21, they still refused, saying things like "this doesn't even look like your picture" or "if you are from a Southern state, then why don't you have a Southern accent?" When I finally spoke to the manager and explained the situation, she was even more rude and unprofessional than the bartenders. Other employees were huddled around the door to the kitchen watching and I felt very uncomfortable. The manager put me into tears because of her rudeness and hostile attitude. I had been attacked for doing nothing wrong. Needless to say, Green Street is notorious for serving minors. It seems ironic that they would refuse to serve me when I am legally of age and had the proper identification to prove it.

I love the vibe at Greenstreet and their Brunch is awesome! I do wish they had more gluten free options (everything seems to have bread involved or flour of some sort) and I also wish they'd offer more salad dressings that weren't just Balsamic Vinegar. But aside from this, cool hang out spot with good food that's just moderately overpriced. If things were a few dollars cheaper I'd be here more often.

I'm sorry to give this place an "OK" rating. after all the wonderful reviews, i was slightly disappointed on the service i received last Saturday morning for brunch. We were a group of 8 and were advised that splitting checks was not allowed. What? who does that? Our waiter was the worst. we all basically the same meal, eggs with potatoes. Took foooooorever. Waiter never came by to check on us, coffee or water was never refilled. Very overpriced for eggs and potatoes. sad to say I would not be returning.

My husband and I come to this restaurant a lot of time for their famous Happy hours on Wednesday that they offer $5 whiskey, you ant beat that price. I been wanting to try their brunch but every time we decide to do so the wait is almost an hour long. But today we arrived around 2pm and we only waited 20mins. I order veggie omelette that came with potatoes and toast And it was great , but my husband eggs Benedict didn't taste that good, specially when it came to the hollandaise sauce it was pure mayo. Not to many restaurant could make Hollandaise sauce the right way, it was sad that they couldn't get it right. We both order a latte and it was horrible water down coffee. I will continue coming for their Happy Hours but not some much for the food. :(

Nice outdoor seating venue with good atmosphere! i hadn't had lamb in a while, so I got the lamb chops. They were perfect! Paired with grilled asparagus, TASTY! Friends got Chicken Picatta and Skirt steak and they were impressed as well. Decent wine selection, although lacking on beer selection, mainly domestics. Kick up the craft notch and impress a few more folks guys! All in all a great place and i would recommend to anyone!

This is a great place to bring your out of town guests. They get a good view of the Miami Scene from the comfort of a very nice outdoor eating area. My favorites are the lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberry compote and the goat cheese salad.

Best restaurant in the Grove. Location is perfect. Food is good and consistent. No matter when you go, there are people there. The ambiance is great. It is truly a Grove staple. My favorite times to go are for dinner and drinks and weekend brunch. Be prepared to wait for those weekend brunches though, it gets packed; just sit back and wait at one of the many seating areas, order a bottle of champagne and drink some mimosas. Whiskey Wednesday's are fun. And any Friday or Saturday night is great too.

I've been looking for a really great place to have brunch in. THIS is that place. I had the Nutella stuffed French toast and potatoes and my boyfriend (not a big fan of pancakes) had the red velvet pancakes and fell in love. We've had red velvet pancakes in other places before, but never as amazing as this place. My Nutella stuffed French toast was perfect, and made better by the strawberries and blueberries it was topped with. The service was amazing! Our waiter was kind and attentive. He made our experience a great one. All in all, I loved it. And I highly recommend it to anyone that loves a good brunch!

Five days out of the week you will find me and my husband slanty eyed and not so bushy tailed at 5:30am in the gym, but on the one day we spoil our selfs with guiltless edible delights you will spot us noshing out at Green Street. Banana Nutella filled French toast with a stack of pancakes that looks and tastes like a yummy cinnamon roll, that's our uber delish "cheat day" meal and boy o' boy is it totally worth it. This place is a local fave and a great people watching spot for our little one. The fans and coverage outside make S.Miami's chew before you breathe hot humid summers somewhat tolerable. There is seating inside too. Not to mention...but to mention, the virgin bloody mary's (breast feeding mama here) are the bomb diggity'! Parking can be a bit of a pickle because this place gets packed but the earlier you come the more likely you'll find a better spot to not only park but sit. If you haven't tried out Green Street give it a shot, it won't disappoint.

Yes, everyone comes here for brunch. Yes, it's almost always packed on weekends. Why? Because the food is good! You've probably already heard about the Nutella french toast. Yes, it's good, very good. But what I really want to talk about is the cinnamon roll pancake. BEST pancake I've ever had in my LIFE!! Perfect mix of flavors, fluffy, and just enough icing to cover them. Order it, you won't be disappointed! Another good breakfast option is the omelettes. They're a very good size portion, enough to share actually, as long as you order some sides. I recommend the truffle french fries for a side. They're thin, crispy and topped with chopped herbs. I have yet to come for lunch or dinner, but I hope to soon.

Ehhhhh... Came her for lunch last week because my friend works down the street. I had my dog with me so we wanted somewhere we could sit outside. It's good to go and people watch... I'll give them that. When we arrived we sat and received our menus quickly. I had to ask for a bowl for some water for my dog since they didn't notice he was there and drinking water from my appetizer plate. We ordered 2 beers, hummus, and our food. The waiter didn't really explain anything on the menu or elaborate on our choices. The hummus arrived quickly but our beers took about 15 minutes. I had the blackened dolphin and mashed potatoes. It was good but I don't think it was worth $15. My friend ordered the veggie omelette. When it arrives he noticed that it had mushrooms... He had to send it back because he is allergic to mushrooms! It would have been nice to know what exactly was in it prior to ordering it. They didn't even apologize. All in all, the food is good but a bit pricey for what it is. The service could be a little better too.
Greenstreet's ok. I had been here for nighttime outings but had yet to try the brunch/breakfast until yesterday. The menu is a bit bland and mostly offers American staples of egg scrambles, omelettes and French toast. The outdoor setting is definitely a plus, and plenty of tables were available. However, I was rather put off by the service I received. Our waitress was unable to offer our friend a choice of cheese recommendation to go with his omelette despite asking him if he wanted cheese, citing her own personal preference that cheese shouldn't go with omelettes. She then made a face when I put ketchup on my eggs with nova and onion, making a comment about ketchup and salmon. I personally enjoy ketchup with my eggs...and would prefer not to receive judgmental comments when I'm trying to enjoy my breakfast. So there's that. Overall, I might come back if friends insisted on coming. I wouldn't suggest it unless I had a friend who only enjoyed simple breakfast dishes and wanted to sit outside. There are much better brunch establishments everywhere in Miami with greater variety of dishes and pleasant waitstaff.

We went on Friday night at 8pm for dinner. The outdoor bar and seating area was just about full. However, the side outdoor as well as the inside was empty to our surprise. Jennifer was our waitress and she was awesome with serving, knowledge and suggestions. We started with the peach infused bourbon and the ginger infused vodka cocktails which were amazing. The calamari was a good portion to share with a light tempura coating served with a very tasty remoulaude. The large skirt steak was seasoned well and perfectly cooked medium. But the highlight was the porcini ravioli cooked in a cream sauce with pieces of tender and tasty porcinis. The overall service was excellent. We used the $6 flat fee parking lot just to the west which had ample open spots. Note that the resto uses white cotton napkins so you will get covered in white lint if you are wearing black clothes.

I went here for brunch with my family. We made a reservation so we didn't have to wait. The service was really good. The waitress was attentive. I got an ice latte which tasted very yummy. It's made with non-fat milk. I got the goat cheese and tomato omelette, and added spinach. It was delicious and there was plentiful helpings of all ingredients. It came with potatoes and I got the cinnamon raisin bread. My family got the coconut crusted French toast to share. It was incredible. I've tried a lot of French toasts over the years, and this was one of the best. There was a nice crisp on the outside, and good flavor throughout. If you like coconut, this is a must. The French toast is on the sweeter side. Everyone was happy with their meals, so you can't go wrong with what you get.

Came here for brunch with a friend and our dog. Friendly staff brought water bowls for our dog as we sat at our outdoor table. Food was beyond amazing I strongly suggest the French toast with banana and Nutella it's incredible I also had the Pina Colada :) best one ever :) friendly staff and great service, affordable pricing.

I've been here MANY times for late night drinks or whiskey Wednesday's (let's be realistic, who hasn't?) This was my first time sitting down for a meal. I wouldn't say the place was empty, but there definitely was plenty of available tables. The waiter was attentive and friendly. The food was good, but nothing memorable. We were sitting outside and at one point it started to rain. We had to move inside and that's when the experience started to go downhill. We carried out entrees inside and opted to sit at the bar since we were just about finished with our meals and looking for the check. It took a while for our waiter up get back to us, and it wasn't even busy. Overall: the food was good, the service was good, the atmosphere was good. Not great. I'll be back for drinks, and maybe next time I'll try their brunch. I won't be running back for dinner.

We stumbled upon this place during a late brunch hour because of the bustling crowd and fun atmosphere (plus the menu beat most places on the block. It has everything you could possible want). The brunch Bloody Mary was delicious; just the right amount of spice and tang and they garnish it with a piece of cheese and a cherry tomato (umm yes please, and thank you for making your bloody unique) For our meal we decided to split a burger and a steak which was superb and cooked very well. I just want to say that on top of the burger being phenomenal, when I cut it in half to split it, it didn't fall apart. Spectacular. In addition to an entree, one can also choose a side which is included, from a pretty decent selection (for example we both felt like being "skinny" and ordered Bok Choy instead of fries). Our waiter was so great too - just the right amount of follow ups and jokes and made our experience that much better. Will definitely be back soon!

I'm never disappointed when going to Greenstreet Cafe. I've come here for brunch and dinner and they're both great. Despite the Miami weather, eating outside is really nice. For brunch, I recommend the Nutella Filled French Toast. If you're a chocolate freak like me, you'll definitely enjoy it. I've also had regular pancakes, which were great as well. When you're here for brunch, don't forget a mimosa! You can't brunch without a mimosa! The lunch and dinner menu are pretty much the same. When I go for dinner, I usually get the tomato fresco angel hair pasta. You'd think since it's pasta, it'll be heavy and make you feel gross, fear not- it's light and delicious! I recommend coming to GreenStreet at anytime of the day. They have a great happy hour! Monday-Friday from 5-7, and another one 11 pm-close! If you go on a Wednesday (whiskey Wednesday) or Thursday night, try to get there early if you want a table. Consider yourself warned!

This place is pretty good. I went on Friday morning with my sister and nephew. I wish I would've known they were pet friendly . A bit too pricey though, and VERY HOT OUTSIDE. Please add some more fans. Our waiter was very friendly. Food was good as well we had thecinnamon pancakes and a veggie omelette with an ice coffee.,& service was amazing. I will definitely be coming back to this location :-) Thanks

Great spot, great staff, great food! I feel like it's hard to find a brunch place that has unique options, but there was a lot ok the menu I regret that I couldn't try bc I won't be able to try it elsewhere. As for the staff, they were exceedingly kind and charismatic. Definitely would come back here!

The food is very delicious, hands down best French toast ever. I love the system they have for calling you, I was told it was going to be 45 minute to an hour wait so I had the chance to walk around because they call you and text you when the table is ready. The one down side was the wait for the food, I had to wait close to an hour for my food after ordering. That was little upsetting not especially since I didn't order anything big and complicated, but besides this I would definitely recommend this place for brunch!

The banana pancakes are to die for: fluffy, freshly made. Turkey apple sausage can go with anything. The apple juice could be a better quality. Egg omelette had plenty of mushrooms as I requested. Good food, okay service.

My favorite brunch/lunch spot! Service, food & cocktails have been amazing every single time. I love this spot even more because of its awesome location in front of the Barnacle State Park where you can take a nice little stroll with a beautiful waterfront view to walk off all that yummy food. Personal brunch time favorites: Nutella French Toast, Coconut Crusted French Toast, & Grove Goddess (prosecco & watermelon cocktail) Lunch/Dinner favorites: Lobster Ravioli & Mojitos Everything always tastes really fresh from their food down to their cocktails with real fruit mixers. The menu changes from time to time and between brunch, lunch & dinner but they are so great that at any time of the day they have accomodated it so that I could have my favorite drink or dish even if it's not on the menu. They sure know how to make you feel special and very well attended to.
1st thing mentioned in reviews: people watching. A great place to sit outside on a sunny & breezy day and look at the Coconut Grove commotion. Also: you can use the "Make an Online Reservation" OpenTable function on the Yelp app to save a spot at this busy place. We did it on our way there and it was helpful! They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner but I've heard brunch is the best time to go. I was referred here by friends raving about their Nutella French Toast, a crowd favorite it seems. However I was starving and craving some protein, so I got a pasta dish with chicken in it. The Penne Tetrazzini was heavy but delicious (no pine nuts were to be found though). My friends got the Red Velvet Pancakes and Omelette, which were good. I'm definitely coming back to try their French toast. Good place to bring out of town guests or have a nice brunch with friends.

After spending much time here I can honestly say the food is phenomenal and atmosphere is charming. The flexible dinner menu and combined with the full bar and barista makes it completely worth the price if you come here knowing what you want. Along with dinner this is the perfect choice for a quick sit down breakfast with friends -during the weekdays.. That being said, I would feel as if I am doing you a disservice if I did not tell you to steer clear of this restaurant's busy hours -weekend brunch, for two reasons: The first and most forgivable reason is the disorganization of staff. This makes for a long time to be seated and long hungry wait for your food. When you are seated finally, there is a strong possibility you will be seated outside. If so expect to sweet under the sun and beg for your water to be refilled. The second is the most prominent reason to stay away from the brunch hours. The general manager present normally this time is EASILY flustered and consonantly out of line in front of guest. As hard as it is for me to say this about another person, I must say, he is very unprofessional and borderline mentally unstable. My unadorned recommendation is straightforward: If you are looking to impress your significant other on a date, come to this restaurant for quite candlelight dinner, try the Penne Tetrazzini or Sylvano's Linguine, and order a bottle of Chianti which pairs perfectly. As far as going here for brunch, dine at your own risk. Edit: A sincere apology from the owner and manager, not more then two hours after posting this review, compelled me to add another star. Willingness to improve means a lot and this review will change as my opinions change with my next visit.

This is a review from 2008 so it may be a bit outdated. The decor of this place is very cool. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. If I recall a lot of the furniture didn't match but that made it cooler. The food was healthy portion sizes but I recall the prices were a bit on the high side. I remember the food really being good. It's not a place to go if you are in hurry so don't expect super fast service.

It was a fantastic place to have brunch in Miami! We came here on Sunday morning, and the lady said that we need to wait at least 45mins, but we waited for just like 20mins. I ordered original French toast with strawberries, and wow, it was so good. A friend of mine ordered fine herb and tomato omelette, which was very flavorful! I couldn't stop eating her side potatoes from her plate. My bf got a cheese ham omelette, and it was great too. They were welcoming and friendly. It took a little while to get our food, but I understood. It was Sunday morning and the place was totally packed.

Probably my favorite brunch place in Miami thus far! I think the menus simplicity is what makes this place truly unique. I started with the caramel macchiato which was outstanding and my boyfriend started with a mimosa with freshly squeezed OJ. We got the eggs Benedict and scrambled eggs with salsa and cheese. We had the coconut crusted French toast as the grand finally and it didn't let us down. Everything was DELICIOUS. No complaints at all!

This is THE PLACE, according to locals and YELP. I totally understand when a place is busy. I get that. BUT, we waiting 10-15 minutes for my cappuccino AND IT WAS COLD!!! I also asked if they could add 2 sugars when making it: Evgenia, our waitress pointed to the sugar packets on the table and told me I could do it myself. Thaaaaanks.... Then 45 minutes later our food came. My lox Benedict came out "crusty" looking. OBVIOUSLY, it had been sitting out for quite a while... While we just sat and sat.... I sent it back and the waitress said, they must have LOST my ticket?? Then I over heard her apologizing to the table next to us again complaint about the kitchen. I do not wish to wait 15 mins for COLD hot beverage Nor do I wish to wait 45 mins for COLD hot entrees. Obviously , This is NOT THE PLACE !!!! Never again, Thanks but no thanks

I hadn't been to Greenstreet lately, but had delicious memoriew from prior brunches as well an Elite event a little while back. Remembering they're pet friendly and wanting to share Mother's Day with my mom and fur child, I called to verify that pups were still welcome and drove here. Despite a full outside area - including a couple of other four legged families - our waiter Aaron was a superstar. A lot of pet friendly spots will just bring you a water bowl. We asked, and were told they could grill a side of chicken which was brought on an actual plate. My pup would also give Green Street Five Stars! As far as human food, my mom and I shared Spaghetti Bolognese and Chicken Linguini on a pesto sauce. Both portions were generous, and my favorite was the spaghetti bolognese. The marinara was nicely balanced with the sweet taste of pine nuts and al dente pasta. The chicken in the linguini was also lean and fresh. Dessert was a fluffy, sweet key lime pie with whipped cream and a latte to close out. Besides Aaron, the other wait staff was very pleasant and fast, bringing our plates in a timely manner, photographing us and one even telling us about their fur baby. Great food and service, Green Street! Thanks for helping us have an excellent Mother's Day!

You can't go to the Grove and miss the Green Street Cafe. After hearing the name mentioned over the years, a brunch catch-up brought me here and I was satisfied. For a place that I thought would be just a cute cafe, it turned out to exceed my expectations with an eyebrow raise. I like that they offer alcoholic brunch beverages, it's keeping it classy. The coconut crusted french toast was my highlight, and the omelets were made to order. I would definitely come back to try the lunch menu. Besides the food, there was a downside in my visit that I cannot ignore. We got there and asked for a table for four, the projected wait time was thirty minutes, okay fine. Our group was so consumed in talk that we didn't realize how much time we had killed. We had stood around for almost an hour, not getting any word regarding our table being ready. So, after noting the time, we went to the host inquiring, they asked if we ever received a text, uhm no. Finally, we are seated walking by three empty clean tables. The staff just came off as un-enthused that they had an actual job to do. We were clearly standing right in plain sight, as they clumped together talking amongst themselves. It's a good thing that I was in good company, who made me forget about my hunger pains. The atmosphere is cute and cozy and very the Grove. On a sunny day, it's a good atmosphere.

Went for Sunday breakfast and we were less than impressed. The food was cold, there was a hair in the sausages, the Nutella french toast sounds better than it tasted. Have definitely had a better Bloody Mary. Won't come back for breakfast/brunch.

I've been coming years to this place and the food has never changed. It's always top quality and fresh. The service is nice and on the servers are on top of their game. Mother's Day and special holidays it's a mission and the waiting time for a party over three can be up to two hours wait. I decided to bring my mom today for her special day and boy was it hectic. He had some bumps on the road with dirty silver wear but as long as the food is god and the service it's A quality I don't care about the small details, besides silver wear can easily be replaced . Out of all managers in different restaurants who just wait around and overlook the employees this manager is the opposite. Sean at Green Street was constantly in the move. He was sitting people, even getting tables ready and interacting with clients to make sure they were happy in this busy day. The food was amazing as always, we had the churrasco with Basmati and the meat lasagna we had it accompanied with a fresh delicious house salad and four watermelon tequila Martines for me. Mom had to top it off their vanilla bean cheesecake with a scoop of ice cream for her diabetic heart. Everything was smooth and flawless and we were treated like nothing less than royalty. I always come back here, I always love eating here, now I just have to bring AK here so we can have the same experience.

Beautiful location and ambiance. Food is phenomenal, especially the nutella stuffed french toast. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Service is a little slow and hostesses were less than amused to be there. Seating can be very limited and awkward. The food is good enough to somewhat overlook it but it is still an issue. They definitely need to be more organized.

Just had breakfast there. Haven't been in like 10 years. I had the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. My friend had the Coconut Crusted French Toast. So affordable. So delicious. Such a lovely setting.

We needed to kill some time in the morning and the Yelp reviews led us here, and we're glad it did. The Nutella stuffed French Toast is as advertised, awesome. Another hidden gem, if your 8 and 10 year olds don't already have cavities, are the Cinnamon Swirl pancakes. They promised to clean their rooms and wash the car if I would bring them back here again. I had the scrambled eggs with mushrooms, onions and peppers....again, it was worth every penny. The potatoes that come with the eggs were season and cooked to perfection.....and don't sleep in the Coconut Crusted French Toast, another solid dish worth trying. My only two knocks are that the service was a bit slow and the coffee of the day was nothing short of awful, but the fresh squeezed OJ I replaced it with made up for it. Definitely coming back, early and often!!

So I'm not really sure why this place has so many good reviews. Perhaps this is the best the area had to offer? This restaurant was mediocre at best. A group of six of us showed up for brunch and we were told we'd have to wait an hour. Now, I don't like waiting, but a wait at brunch is normally a sign of good things to come, so I settled into a comfy couch and waited. Sadly, I was sorely mistaken about the food. I make better brunch at home. Everything was lukewarm when it came out and there was nothing special to it at all. The only food at the table that looked ok was the Nutella French toast. Mind you, this is AFTER we waited an hour to be seated and then another 30 minutes for our food to come out. The only good things about this place were the drinks and the outdoor seating. So check the place out if you just want to have a drink and sit outside, but if you actually want warm, decent tasting brunch food, go elsewhere.

The ambience in this place is always great! Definitely a great spot to have breakfast or brunch but this time I tried lunch - the shrimp scampi pasta. It left much to be desired, it was watery and not full of flavor. The shrimp were cooked nicely. Another thing that is great about this place is that on Wednesday is Johnny Walker black label drinks for $5! You really can't beat that.
Incredible nutritious food! Beautiful decor. Great service. No wonder there was a 90 min wait the other day. Would be worth the wait.

I live in downtown Miami and I've been a customer at GreenStreet Cafe twice now. Good food is a MUST for me, a priority if you will. GreenStreet Cafe has yet to disappoint me, the food, staff and atmosphere are simply amazing. I highly recommend heading over to the Cafe if you are looking for a satisfying breakfast/meal.

LOVED IT! I came here on Sunday for brunch and left very pleased. I had the spinach and feta omelette with their oven roasted potatoes -- these potatoes are the best ones I've had, delicious. A must try here is the nutella stuffed french toast (avoiding the thought of the number of calories you are eating): so flavorsome! The server was very attentive and didn't even noticed him as I was too busy devouring my food. GreenStreet is very affordable -- I think the drinks I had were more expensive than the food so watch out! And the only bad aspect of coming here on the weekend is the wait time -- had to wait 45 mins but you can walk around and they text you when your table is ready. They are not that organized as they gave my table to someone else and I had to wait 15 more mins. However, if you are patient and go there knowing this, you'll do just fine.

The overall experience was great. This place has an amazing breakfast and brunch dishes and vibes. However, it is very American traditional food, so don't expect diversity from it. Staff members are friendly and nice. One thing is that this place is extremely packed, expect around 10-20mins wait. Also, if you're here, try any dishes with potatoes, they're well cooked and delicious. Lastly, great environment to hangout with your fellows, it's definitely worth a try.

I wish we ended up going across the street to the other breakfast spot. The menu was pretty boring and we came all the way out from South Beach to have breakfast. Not worth my ass falling asleep on the scooter for it.

So....where do I begin??? The Bloody Mary was the highlight of my experience, not because it was the greatest but because the alcohol masked the mediocrity. The waiter, Efrain, actually asked my husband to hand him my dirty plate! The table was not really clean when we sat-some crumbs left over from the previous guest, but I overlooked it....then I started to look at the floor around me, which was filled with garbage: receipts, sugar packets, napkin rings and other detritus. And then I got my Coconut Crusted French Toast! All I can say, is that I made better French Toast at 15 than the chef at his restaurant! Not sure if he or she ever heard of the word 'custard' which was totally lacking in my dish. What I had, instead was a 3 inch thick piece of bread: dry and taste free. My side of potatoes were more tasty if only because they tasked like bullion and I like salt! But I don't go out to eat for bullion. And last but not least: the trash that accumulated on my table, (the aforementioned items that other patrons felt fit to discard in the floor) stayed there throughout our stay-Efrain never felt compelled to clear it off, or our dirty glasses.

CINNAMON ROLL PANCAKES. I feel like just ending the review there. I mean that's more than enough reason to go. It's a pancake that tastes like a cinnamon roll. It's amazing. So so good. Mimosas are good too :). My friends had omelets and said they were delicious along with the potatoes that were the best part supposedly. Only not five stars because parking is a mission and it's $10. Service is great and outside is ideal but inside is super cute with brick walls and books!

I had not been to the Grove in years, and it has definitely changed. I'm not sure if it was due to Spring Break, but Thursdays in the Grove is not what it used to be. Which, i actually prefer... i'm way past the crowded bars scene era. So GreenStreet... We ordered our drinks at the bar inside, which was entirely empty. Obviously, service was great since we were the only patrons inside. We proceeded to a table outside. All tables were full and some people at the bar. A friend soon joined and it took about 10 minutes to flag down the server for a drink. The poor girl was the only one serving the outdoor area, or it seemed. Service was quite slow and terrible. We ordered some food from the late night menu... Not sure if it's because it came out late, but food wasn't hot, just warm. * Chicken Fingers - meh. Nothing great about them, thick batter. * Hummus - good. Came with some pita, I would have liked them to be toasted, but whatever. * Goat Cheese Flat Bread - better than I expected. Menu should indicate it comes with roasted red peppers.

The bar is on a corner and is very lively. The lights hanging on top the bar are unique and looks like a dungeon. There's plenty of seating along the bar and there's alot of red velvety sofa chairs. Very chic and comfy! The menu has unique drinks, the usual cocktails, sangria, beer, wine, and a decent selection on draft. I tried Mango Rush with shipwreck Mango rum and pineapple juice. Sweet and juicy, well mixed. I saw a food menu too but we had just ate so couldn't stomach any more food. On a Friday night, it wasn't extremely crowded or loud. The parking is either parallel on the street or at a lot nearby. Usually there's a flat rate for the whole night.
Changing my review because the owner gave apology for long wait and hold the situation professionally. Good management is important.

It's OK, definitely overrated. 2.5 Stars Pros: Atompshere is very upbeat and hip. Good place for brunch and people watching. The inside is very beautiful and the bathrooms are artistic as well. The outside is more popular to just soak in the air and admire the neighborhood. The wait staff is very friendly. Cons: Very poor/disorganized level of service from the Host staff. We were quoted an hour and our name was put into the ipad. We waited in the bar area and noticed many other newcommers around us- on the waiting list as well. After an hour passed not only were we not called/paged, the host staff started coming around and personally picking groups of people that had just put their name in- to go to a table. We went up to ask what was going on and the host told us their ipad went down so they just started choosing people- literally. The food was mediocre at best and the menu was very limited. I don't like coming to a restaurant and waiting over the quoted time as the hosts are choosing what people they'd like to sit over the ones who have been waiting all this time. It's unprofessional and biased. 3 stars is very high for a place with ok food and bad service. Location and atmosphere is all they have to offer.

This place was very delicious. The French toasts are the best I've ever tasted and the omelet plates are huge and very filling-which I think is good according to the price. However I do think the orange juice which is always fresh and tasty is a bit pricy for 3-4oz. The place is beautiful, nice for a romantic date or an all girls day!

Greenstreet has the best brunch! It's definitely the best idea to share plates so you can taste everything! I love ordering the omelets & Nutella filled french toast, so good! Also have to try their frozen cappuccino drinks, yum!

One word: UGH. I could not get out of this place fast enough. I'll just present some facts to you about my experience, and let you draw whatever conclusions you so desire. Got here around 9 AM on a Sunday, and waited over an hour for a table in the blistering heat of a June day in Miami. Went inside to order a drink at the bar in the hopes that the air conditioning would provide relief. It was shotty at best, and barely did anything since this place is packed like sardines with your typical Coconut Grove types. While standing at the bar, I waited about 10 minutes to be served, then another 5 to receive my two drinks, which cost me $20. The four of us were finally seated and waited another ridiculous amount of time to be served. 3 out of our 4 dishes arrived at once, within a reasonable amount of time. However, while the three of us with food tried to wait to start, the food was clearly not coming any time soon. Checked with the waiter twice, both times receiving some stuttered dumbfounded reply. Meanwhile, I reach the middle of my whole wheat pancake to find raw runny dough. Finally, after the three of us had our food for 20 minutes, we told the waiter that we had to leave and forget the fourth dish, and take back my uncooked pancake. The only time we were served appropriately was when given our check. Thankfully my pancake nor the missing fourth dish was included in that bill. Do yourself a favor and don't ever go here.

Can't stop raving about how perfect everything was on my plate. I had the cinnamon roll pancakes with cream on top scramble eggs with potatoes & while wheat toast & a Mimosa! Everything was so flavorful & the portions are so huge you can share. My boyfriend is an omelet lover & not only did he not speak during brunch he devour his omelet in 10 mins flat. I wish there was a higher star to give beaches this place would be the one getting extra brownie points for there perfection. Thank you !!!

I've seen the crowds and thought this place would be awesome. If you walk in, it's a very cool restaurant. It's a great place to come people watch as well. I have a friend who lives in the Grove so we could walk here.The food was actually decent. Not as awesome as I hoped though. My wife loved her french toast, she will likely rate this place 4 or 5 stars. I kept it at 3 because the food was a bit bland for my taste. The service was good enough.

Came for a Sunday Brunch was told that wait was 45 mins to an hour. 30 mins later we received a phone call and a text that our table was ready. We sat down, waiter was friendly and helpful, and the menu was full of delicious choices. We started off with mimosas and ordered cinamon roll pancakes and an omelet and it was delicious. Restraunt was a little loud for a brunch but what can you expect at a restaurant this famous. Love the experience and food I will be back.

I enjoyed dining at GreenStreet. We were able to obtain a table albeit near the bar quite easily on a busy weekday night without a reservation. Our server was prompt cheerful and attentive. Hummus appetizer was plentiful and the pita was soft and warm. With dinner I enjoyed a delightful wheat ale called Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' (7.5% alc.) Chicken curry ravioli was excellent. The curry was not overpowering and the topping of apples raisins and almonds is culinary genius. The ambience was great. An eclectic mix of ambient music and plenty of fans to keep the stifling mid-June Miami night air moving. The sidewalk is a constant show of Coconut Groveites (including a city commissioner and his wife). Would've gotten 5 stars except for: a little too dim to easily read menu, cigarette smoke wafting from bar to dining area, and a suspicious drifter continually walking back and forth eyeing my daughter's and other women's purses. Despite these issues I would return based on the food

Luis M.
Food is fantastic! Every time I come here I always order the Nutella French Toast, it's great. GreenStreet has a diverse selection for breakfast choices ranging from French toast, to omelets. I feel very comfortable eating outside because of the fresh air. The service is great, I almost always get the same waitress and she is just the sweetest person. Patient and with a positive attitude. GreenStreet definitely deserves these five stars.

We ended up here since there was an exorbitant waiting period for LoKal. Service was exceptional. Our waiter, Willie, was very attentive to our needs and we were a group of six. As for the food it was very good. I had the Lamb Burger which was good, but different. It's a popular item but I prefer a great burger instead. Wife had the Greek Salad which she said was good, but not exceptional. We were there for dinner and next time will take advantage of their brunch. Overall a really good eatery, will be back.

"I'll have the SaLmon and your cheapest pink wine" she said with her Miami girl accent. But seriously I know everyone comes here for Brunch but you're missing out on their great lunch. I love their blackened Salmon over a bed of spinach, cranberries and balsamic...delish and light.

Cindy M.
Not bad... Not great. My food arrived a bit cold so that was a bit displeasing. And my potatoes were kind of over cooked. Nutella French toast were not as big a deal for me. Also, the menu is a bit bland/boring. Nothing really made my mouth water as I tried to chose what to eat. But, I'd like to go once more and give them the benefit of the doubt since others seem to enjoy the place so much. Maybe it was just a bad day when I went.

A friend and I had dinner here on Saturday, Easter Eve. We arrived at around 10 p.m., were seated right away, and our server was Justin, who I remember as being a manager from Lulu across the street during one of my visits there a few months ago. Justin was easy to remember, as he has one of those amazing, always cheerful and outgoing personalities that one doesn't often find in the restaurant or customer service business. We ordered the hummus to share, my dining companion had the lamb chops and I ordered the blackened dolphin. Everything we tried was very good (though the sweet potato fries I ordered with my dolphin could've been a bit more flavorful) and service was spot on all night. We split the check evenly, and with the food mentioned above and a Corona, our bills came to about $34 each before tip. A few weeks prior to the meal described above, I'd stopped here at GreenStreet with a buddy of mine for drinks at around 11 p.m. on a Friday night. We were here for about an hour, I had 2 Magic Hat drafts and he had an iced tea, and our total with tax was under $8! Let me repeat...Late on a Friday night at one of the more trendy places in the Grove, and I paid $3.50 per draft. Compare that with nearby Bice at Cocowalk where they charge more than that for a soft drink!

In town for the weekend and we didn't feel like paying $100 for breakfast at the Ritz so we walked down to this area for breakfast. We called ahead on Saturday morning and had no problem getting them to save us a table outside. Hubby ordered nova benedict with a side of bacon. I ordered egg white omelette with veggies, raisin toast and fruit. First of all, our food took about 25 minutes to come out. When we told our waitress, she stated that "they lost the ticket". The nova benedict had been sitting out for a long time before it was brought out.. The hollondaise had congealed and looked pretty gross. We had to send it back. The omelette was overcooked, even for myself who likes her eggs well done. Really the only thing I was impressed with was the fruit bowl. The small size was a huge portion and had plenty of variety. I dunno. Maybe they were cooking our food for 25 minutes straight?? Kind of tasted like it.. Needless to say I don't think I'll be tempted to come back here. Maybe next time I'll try one of the plethora of other highly rated restaurants in the area. Next!

I've lived in Miami about 27 years and when I first use to come here it was pretty decent, now it's way over priced and the quality and service do not add up to what you're paying. A watermelon lemonade is $4 and it's the smallest cup ever. The waitress took forever to bring us water. Total and complete lack of attention towards the customer. The eating utensils were completely dirty and old and even had rust around the edges near the handle. And when we first arrived there wasn't even a hostess to greet and seat us, we had to wander and find someone to help us. Never coming here again. Complete disappointment!!

One of my friends and mine's favorite spot!! If it was closer to school we would probably go there weekly. Well we kinda already do. Haven't been disappointed yet. I have had a veggie omelette and added go cheese, they are very hefty on their cheese portions. The cinnamon roll pancakes are to die for. I have also tried The salmon dip appetizer which was pretty good. But the best thing they have on the menu is probably the goat cheese ravioli! Delicious. I've also tried the Lamb burger which was good even though I'm not a big burger fan. And the pastry crested brie appetizer is also scrumptious. The only downside to this restaurant is the service can be a little slow. The restaurant could be not even half empty and still takes 30 minutes to get your food. Still going to give it five stars though

I have been here a few times but please avoid this place on a Sunday especially if you are in the mood for brunch. We were a party of 2 and it took us 1hr 15 mins to get a table and another 35 mins to get a pancake and scrambles eggs. Poor service as the waiters and kitchen is overworked. Avoid the place after 10:30am!!! Not worth the wait

So I went to this place for a friends birthday lunch. It was both of our first time to go there. It was so delicious !! I can honestly say that what you pay for is what you get. The only bad thing is that I didn't like the homemade watermelon lemonade it was super sour and unable to drink . Over then that it has a beautiful atmosphere great music, service , and lastly great food! Dessert the Nutella French toast is the best thing there

The food here is great, my favorite is the nutella french toast. I don't go often because the wait time is terrible for brunch, and you cannot make reservations on the weekend which is a big boooo for me. The mimosas are really good too as well as the omelets. The service is good overall, a bit slow most likely due to how busy this location is. Please open another location in broward!

Greenstreet is A-ok in my book. Food is good (albeit a little pricey for what it is). Brunch is really good, what can I say I'm a sucker for a nutella french toast. What I really love about GreenStreet is that they have a drink special every night of the week. Mondays 1/2 off wine bottles , Tuesdays I'm not sure, Wednesdays - whiskey wed ( all whiskeys are 5$) great deal and super fun, it gets packed. Thursdays its mojitos and Fridays happy hour & girls drink free champagne 4-7. Definitely a place worth checking out if you're in the area. Also they serve brunch everyday until 3 I believe.

While originally I was upset at a bartender about his demanding for a tip, lying about price, and language, when a tip is determined by the customer, the owner contacted me and after a conversation identified that the change will take place. It did. While I did continue to go to the bar and restaurant and brought a lot of business to this location I will avoid those that seem "fake" behind the bar or plainly rude to customers. There are two others I wish I could name that are awesome, I think one is Cuban but explained that many think he is Turkish, great example of an employee who is deserving of a tip and a raise, lol the other guy... I hope he no longer works there because the place is awesome. Judge their character if they seem fake, and get rude, I would walk away without thinking twice. If they are awesome leave an awesome tip, that's how the system works, it's not a guarantee.

The food was decent. The people watching was great. The service was pretty slow considering it was noon on a Monday. I had the herb omelette with tomatoes. It looked dry and overcooked from the outside but actually was very tasty and moist on the inside. If you are in Coconut Grove, definitily check out this spot. And give yourself plenty of time since you'll probably be waiting for your drinks and food for a bit.

Came here on a Wednesday night, summer time never having been to the Grove before... Everyone is very young. Not just college age but very young college aged great, I was 18 once and I loooooved a good spot to go! So if you're 18-20 this is perfect! At the ripe age of 24 they didn't give a crap about me being of age as I patiently waited my turn to order shots and under aged kids cut me off and brushed against me. No problem, until the bartender told me I wasn't in line and started to take orders of people who came after me. A GOOD bartender pays attention to the order of people showing up to the bar, maybe I'm used to that from the wynwood, south beach, midtown bars I normally go to.. But this bartender blew me off for a 19 (guessing by looks) year old guy.. I was pissed and went back outside and around the corner. Found a bar stool to just sit down on and catch my breath and get over it- literally one second later I'm asked what I'd like! I was blown away! The new bartender didn't know what a Vegas bomb was but worked with me and accommodated me. He was amazing!! Great music and cool vibe minus my initial experience but I won't be back this summer.

The best thing about GreenStreet is the outside seating in a very nice area, plenty of people to see and be seen by. This end of the street is actually a little busier than the Grand St end. I stopped here with a couple of my colleagues for dinner and sat on a low rise area where we could see everyone. Had their calamari, hummus and flatbread apps. Wasn't happy that they don't have Guinness on tap, but they had it in a bottle. Dinner was great too, everything on the menu is a good choice. I love their salmon salad and penne bolognese. People eat late in Miami so don't be surprised if they are packed at 9pm.

Excellent and very plush outdoor seating gives you a sense that you're in a luxurious den enjoying a delicious supper. All that was missing was a fire pit and a cigar if you ask me! I enjoyed a few appetizers and our waitress was excellent. Only distraction was the pigeons that are actively checking in on you as much as the waitress. Do God's work and throw em a few crumbs for a few mins of peace and expect them to check in again.

A staple for breakfast in the Grove. Everyone's been here at least once. I really like the decor inside, there's old books and wrought iron and bricks everywhere. They have awesome mimosas, but they're $9.00! My favorite is the Nutella Filled French Toast and the Goat Cheese Omelette (I get it with mushrooms but it comes with tomatoes). What I really like is they don't skimp on the Nutella or the Goat Cheese. I didn't like the grits, they were too thick. And they don't have a kids' menu for breakfast. Parking is tough, and the lot next door is $6.00 even during the week.

I've been coming here for years and what I love most is the consistency. People are friendly, the staff is always on point and it's great food. When going for lunch, I highly recommend the salads. Based on your palate, they have an amazing variety. Brunch which is my personal favorite is always a treat with favorites like Nutella stuffed French toast, delicious omelets and the best Bloody Mary in town. If you're looking for a spot to have dinner or light bites, they've had some great stuff on the menu for years but also new additions like a artichoke spinach dip with truffle! Yum! I have to note this place is great for people watching or a gathering with friends or family as well as "date night". Head over and if you live in the Grove ask about the Grove discount! Owner Silvano has done a GREAT job and his management team including new addition Sean rock! I'm a local and working in the media I come across so many places regularly which don't "get it". Green Street does! Salud!

Stumbled upon this place with a good friend and co worker by my a recommendation that the brunch was good but came way too late for brunch and wanted to give dinner a try. Our server Dwight was funny and sweet. Probably one of the nicest server in Miami and very attentive. The food was good and drinks were ok. The atmosphere was kind of chill and service was excellent. What we had.. My drink; Lychee strawberry martini (2/5) - it was ehh..way too strong.. A good drink is where there is a right amount of alcohol and mix that you don't taste the alcohol but know its not watered down. His drink: Asian equation (2/5) - same as above Shared app: chorizo Mac and cheese (4/5) Delicious and had a nice kick to it. It could of been more cheesier in my opinion but I enjoyed it My main course: catch of the day red snapper (5/5) I thought it was really fresh and well prepared and the sauce was not overpowering. I did not find it oily at all. His main course: lasagna (4/5) it was really good but I have to take a star off that it was kind of burnt but tasted homemade Dessert: Nutella stuffed French toast ala mode with syrup on the side (you have to ask for it ala mode and with syrup...totally worth it) (5/5) it was like the best of two world brunch item for dessert. Really hit the sweet spot. Our server must of read our minds as we were enjoying our entree actually he saw our drinks were empty and brought out my friend a nice cold beer and me a Chardonnay which was what I was thinking of wanting to go with our meal. Overall (4/5) will be back for brunch and will ask for Dwight again. He's such a funny sweet server.

Excellent local restaurant! Solid, consistent, friendly-- highly recommended. I tend to eat out a lot. So when I find a place that has good food, with a great environment at a fair price, I tend to go back .... often. GreenStreet is one of those places. And some of the staff deserve extra credit including the hard-working day manager Nick; and awesome bartenders Amy, Rebecca & Emily.

My brother lives in the Coconut Groove area and suggested that we eat at this restaurant for brunch. We arrived around 12:00pm on Sunday and it was apparent this was the brunch "hot spot". We went to the hostess and were told we had a 15-20 minute wait. We didn't mind, 80 degree weather and outside sitting chairs with shade--no problemo! After our wait, we were escorted to two small round tables outside. I am not sure how big the tables are inside but trying to put plates on small round tables for 6 people was not fun. Our server came out and seemed a little nonchalant and got straight to taking our order. Our food was amazing and fresh---I think we almost ordered everything on the menu. My husband got the cinnamon roll and this was really good (he got a few other things but this really stood out on my taste buds). I got pancakes with fresh fruit, bacon and eggs. It was all delicious. I have to give this place a four because one our waiter was nonchalant--not sure if this is Miami culture or if he was over the crowd. Two: I asked the waiter to bring me milk when our food came out and he told me to "remind him" . I didn't remind him, kinda think it's his job to remember my order--but who am I--needless to say I never got my milk. Three my order of hash browns ended up on my dad's plate. And four the tables were small and trying to fit all of our food on the conjoined tables was a hassle. Never the less, the food was amazing esp for just brunch food, I like the cute location and set up, and my brother is a regular. If I am ever back in the area I will def. come back. But hopefully I get another waiter!

Went here on a trip to Miami! Found Coconut Grove to be enchanting. Green Street Cafe was perfect for what we were looking for , just some appetizers and drinks. Very impressed with it, quality and service. There was four of us, and we went there after being out on the boat all day, let us sit outside, we were casually dressed and they didn't have a problem with it.

It's a two hour wait every weekend morning for a reason--best brunch in Miami. One of few places in Miami that lives up to its hype. There's simply no where else you can find such an elaborate menu, from the gourmet coffees, to the choice of breads, hearty omelettes and pancakes to fulfill whatever brunch mood you're in--sweet or savory Not only does it all taste amazing, it's perfectly priced and gives huge portions! The vibe and outdoor seating is just a bonus. If only the entire population of Greater Miami wasn't also aware of how great a spot this is....

Service is a tad slow. But besides that, overall it's worth coming back. Mimosas are great with the natural squeezed orange juice. Had the cheeseburger, taste was excellent. The lobster ravioli is also very good.

We had the ceviche and the truffle spinach dip as an appetizer. The ceviche was delish with octopus and Sciaenidae fish. The dip was done well and was tasty. For dinner we had duck salad and skirt steak. The duck salad was great and would recommend this. The skirt steak and the sauce were fabulous and was seasoned well. The vegetables were done just right and complimented the steak. The location was great and if you are seated outdoors it is great people watching. The ambiance inside is cozy, fun and just a great place for dinner. My server was knowledgable and friendly. I would recommend coming for dinner to anyone who is in the area.
After sitting and waiting for a ridiculous amount of time on both breakfast occasions, I've found that the wait really isn't worth it. I think people must be in love with the outdoor seating area, which of course is nice, but the food is so generic it could be the same food as Denny's. Just really not worth the hype surrounding it, seems like a tourist trap.

I go to law school up in Jersey and Greenstreet brunch is always my first stop when I come home for the holidays. Your bartenders Amy and Emily are awesome! I've never seen a better bartending team work so well together behind such a small bar. I also had the pleasure of meeting the manager Nick today and he was just as pleasant as Amy and Emily. Congratulations for having them on your team! Keep it up!

This is one of my favorite places for breakfast. the goat cheese and tomato omelet or the nutella filled french toast are to DIE for !!!. Don't forget to try the watermelon lemonade and the cappuccino with cinnamon.. i have never been disappointed..

Had to return and update my review because it just seemed so... Out of date! After my initial review the restaurant owner was gracious enough to contact me via Yelp and extend an invitation to come back and give the restaurant another try. I suppose he was certain that my experience may have been unique, I assume, but nevertheless after several months I decided to give it another chance. Boy, it didn't disappoint. From the get go the staff was very kind and attentive. It was early morning on a weekday so there wasn't the large bustling crowds you find on the weekends, which was a welcomed change in my book. Food was served mighty fast and tasted fresh. I had the goat cheese omelette, and man, it was just bursting with bold flavors. I paired it with their mimosa for the one-two combination. Boom! Loved it. This dude is most definitely going back. Hell, I might just make it my go-to spot for morning meetings over breakfast. A very special thank you to Sylvano for clearly appreciating his customers, even when it's just someone like lil 'ol me.

First time being here. We came here for brunch, but we all ordered from the lunch menu. The pasta is delicious. Two of us got the chicken tetrazzini and a lobster ravioli. Both were so good! The spinach dip was amazing, but the chips were soggy from the humidity. I wish they had more fans outside, especially since it's summer time. We were melting! I ordered a mimosa and they talked me into the strawberry one. Didn't particularly enjoy it, but one is enough for a good buzz. Our server, Jennifer was super nice and helpful with the menu. I would definitely go again and give their breakfast menu a try.

Cool, inviting, upbeat atmosphere. Fair service (can't be very slow at times). Right in the heart of Coconut Grove. And, honestly one of the best yellowtail snapper fillets I've ever had, and I eat fish constantly. The sauce the fish came drenched in was amazing. I can't comment on the rest of the menu, but this dish wowed me!

GREENSTREET is my favorite restaurants in the grove area. They are open until 3 AM Wednesday-Saturday. The manager, Shawn, is super sweet and likes to get to know his customers. If you're looking at the late night menu, the flatbread pizzas are all excellent! The speciality cocktails are all good, but the best one is the raspberry lemon drop martini. Fast service, nice waiters, nothing bad to say about this place.

Green street is known for brunch and they are very good at it. They are a bit pricey but it's good food. Downside to green street the wait time on a Sunday is ridiculous.

Greenstreet attracts most of its customers because of its location and atmosphere... It has a really upbeat and young vibe and is located right in the heart of Coconut Grove... It gets a big crowd on the weekends and on its special Whiskey Wednesdays... The food is not extraordinary but they have a good selection of salad, pizza, and other modern American dishes. They are known for their brunch where they offer a delicious menu of anything from Spinach Feta Omelette to Red Velvet Pancakes to Nutella French Toast. Their dishes are tasty and come in big portions

I have a love hate relationship with greenstreet, I love their cinnamon roll pancakes, but I hate their service. I hadn't been back for a year due to a mistake of theirs last year where they charged my credit card twice, took me weeks back and forth with management to try to get things sorted out until I resorted to just do a chargeback with my card. I went again yesterday for breakfast with the family. The server was just rude, he was an older gentleman and maybe due to the heat and humidity outside he was just not in a good mood but hey that's not my fault. A family member was cut on her finger with a piece of glass on her chair, the server said he'd let management know, I'm still waiting to see a manager come to apologize, it was a small cut but her two year old baby was with her and it could have cut him instead, not acceptable. I am not THAT in love with their food to make up for the repeat service woes I've experienced with their restaurant. Don't even bother ordering the iced latte or mocchachino unless you're into coffee that's more like dirty water. Sorry but they just won't be seeing me waiting 30 minutes + to eat there again.

Food and drinks are incredibly overpriced. We had 4 mixed drinks, hummus, a cheeseburger and a salad and spent $110 + tip. The $$ price rating yelp gives this place is underrated. Both rounds of drinks took about 15-20 minutes to receive and the were only mildly busy. The first round were margaritas and they were probably the worst margaritas I've ever tried. The second round was a purple dragon, which was pretty good. The food was tasty but expensive
I deleted my previously scathing review because we went back after a year and got a very friendly and professional apology from the owner (apparently the manager we'd had an issue with was let go). Green Street's been a staple of my family's for 15+ years. My dad used to go daily! The salads, the pancakes, the sandwiches, the drinks, everything's great. None of us live in Miami anymore, but when we're back in town, we always go there for brunch.

Ok so the brunch here is amazing. The eggs are so yummy and the nutella french toast is to die for. The only but here is the wait. HOLY COW! You have to get there early if you want to wait an hour , if you get there at 10 or 11 the wait is about 3 hours long. Are they out of their mind? So if you have a whole day to kill come here food is great anyway.

It was okay. I got the Nutella French toast. I asked the waiter what his favorite was and went with what he said. The problem was it was so loud inside I couldn't hear what he said. I'm not a very big chocolate person so it was too much sweetness for me early in the morning. It's my fault for not being able to hear what he said. The fruit was very good and they coffee was good. We will probably go back at some point but I will make sure to sit outside so it's not so noisy and I won't order the Nutella French toast. The location is nice and the ambience has a great feel.

Started off with a Bloody Mary, which was good, but would be nice if it had a few more condiments... maybe a stick of chorizo, or cocktail onions, extra olives... then tried the Straberry mojito and it was delicious. While sipping on our cocktails we decided to have the brie wrapped in a pastry with a honey glaze and that was delicious, but I would suggest that they no longer serve it with those crackers because they are too hard and simply just not good. Overall it was a nice experience and we might return.

This is the all round perfect place to eat and be social.. Something about the layout of the place, the menu, and even the staff makes green street a staple as has been for years... Breakfast, lunch, dinner ,happy hour, late night and or simply drinks you can't go wrong.. I could write for days but it's one of those places you that if you haven't been to or heard about you need to go to... That's as real as it gets.. If your a newbie try their breakfast /brunch and you will see what I mean.. There will be a wait 9/10 times but it's worth it and you can have a nice drink at the bar while you wait... I'll never steer ya wrong.. Go see!!! A Coconut grove staple...

All around great experience! Our server was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgable of the menu. Went for breakfast and sat outside which had plenty of fans to keep the customer's cool in this August heat. I had the coconut crusted french toast which melts in your mouth!

Tee S.
Great restaurant. We had a salad with pecan's and figs. Hubby loved it. Bit too sweet for me but it was fresh and gorgeous. Best vegetarian lasagna had in a long time and the hubby had a steak dish he raved about. Service is friendly and the drinks spot on. Only thing did not warm up to was all the pictures of the Native Indians on the wall looking very sad. And not one of the servers could tell me the relevance to the actual restaurant.

The best puppy-friendly restaurant ever! We celebrated our Pomeranian's 2nd birthday here with a brunch, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming to our pooch! He even sat on his own chair at our table! Our Waiter was awesome, and so were all the others who came to say hi and wish him a happy birthday! I've also been here other times without the dog, and the service and food has always been consistent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!
(5)
Nicole S.
This is my go-to brunch place. I came here with my boyfriend and we were seated rather quickly. Their wait usually ends up being shorter than what they tell you. Although I would recommend making a reservation if you have a large group. To dog owners: This place is also very dog friendly if you sit outside- they have many fans so you won't feel the heat too badly. I ordered the red velvet pancakes with a side of potatoes and my boyfriend ordered the cinnamon role pancake. They both tasted absolutely delicious- warm and fluffy straight from the pan. I definitely recommend Green Street to anyone looking for a delicious brunch with excellent service for a reasonable price.

Rocio P.
I only had some wine and small bites around dinner time here, including the ceviche and the chicken wings. It wasn't mind blowing food, but the place itself is worth a try at least once in your Miami lifetime. The outdoor seating is definitely a must. With comfy, classic looking couches, wooden chairs and tables; and giant fans to supply the much needed breeze on a Miami's July afternoon. The inside is very nice too. Nicely decorated, with brown and dark-ish tones accentuated by candle lights. A good option, if people watching outside is not entertaining enough to keep you from running inside to your best friend this time around: the AC. I'm not dying to go back for dinner. But reading other yelpers, I would be willing to catch up with a friend over brunch here.

Fran N.
Really good food here, the service or the server took a little while to even get to us but I think that was only because she didn't even know we were sat, the host just pretty much told us to sit anywhere and didn't give us menus but that did not derail us from enjoying the food because it was really just that good! And our server was quite good once she realized we were hers. Would come back to eat here again!

Had the blueberry and granola pancakes for breakfast and they were delicious! Only reason I'm not giving this full 5 stars is because it's a bit pricey for just two pancakes with no eggs or anything on the side. Tried my friend's Nutella French Toast and MAN is that worth it! SO GOOD

I have come to GreenStreet cafe for the last 5 yrs.... I am so greatfull and please to let my friends and colleagues know that it's the best place for Happy hour and dinner. I want to go on record that waitress Marjorie provided the best service possible to me and my wife. We always look to be serviced by her. She is excellent! And this is great business for the establishment. Keep up the great work....

I am in a hard place. Wahhh! This place was good but quite pricy. I wanna give 3/5 stars because of the pricing, but I think that's silly of me because touristy areas are not going to be cheeeeeap :3 I'macheapladymeep! ANYWAY, the food makes it worth a 4/5. I love that they give you some sort of spicy baresque peanut mixture before you get your food. Yum! Swallow that stuff up! I ordered a veggie pizza that was vegan (cheeseless :D) without having to ask. The hostess asked me!!! (Do you want cheese? Nay!) I was glad to have that option. ^.^ It was a really good sized pizza! Nice place... open late... yay & yay! : )

I love the ravioli here. I've had the pesto ravioli several times and it is consistently good. The drinks are also tasty, yet strong. Great location with pleasant outdoor seating. And I love that they give a discount to locals (for take-out, at least).

GreenStreet never disappoints. I've been coming here for years. Happy hour, dinner, brunch etc. Their food is always on point and they have great happy hour deals. Salads are great, pasta is delicious as if their flat breads. They have a great ambiance outdoors. Especially by the bar for happy hour. Now if you want to go for brunch on the weekend get ready for a wait. It's usually slammed! It's a great routine place to always come back to with great food, drinks and environment.

Went for brunch. The food was decent and our waitress knew the menu in and out. The place was packed and it took a while to get served. However while we waited, we took part in their various Bloody Mary's. I must say. Best Bloody Mary's I've had in Miami so far. Hands down. The spices was just right and flawless each time. Vegetables were fresh and delicious. Would definitely return solely for the bloody Mary's. All of my friends and I decided at that point to stick with the Bloody Mary's and had several rounds. Was perfect every time.

A must go to in the Grove. The staple for brunch, but wait is sometimes too much. Also great on Whiskey Wednesdays. Lamb burger is great, as well as all their pizza options.
We got the best table outdoors, right on the corner. Started w/ Mediterranean platter. I've eaten better hummus, it was Ok. The main course for lunch included for our table Salmon salad which was delicious, fish wraps & chicken wrap.

Sunday Brunch: French toast are amazing, the lamburger was good but I was expecting better. Bloody Maria was amazing and I hate Bloody Marys. Strawberry Lychee Martini is also phenomenal.

Phil J.
The positive: far and away the best location in the Grove for outdoor seating and people watching. The negative: The food does not live up to the ambience. In fact, you're being served what is essentially diner style fare. Worse yet, they seem to have grown too big for their own good. At any given time the unhelpful hostess is likely to tell you that your wait will be 45 minutes even though in reality it is likely to be less than 15 minutes. Not sure why they do this but if it's meant to make the place more attractive it's weird we had the opposite effect on us. The verdict: If you happen to score a seat without a wait when you're thirsty for a decent Mojito this is a good place to visit. If you're looking for a nice breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner place keep looking to move on.

I just want to compliment your manager Nick. I am a regular and can always tell when Nick is on duty because the restaurant is running so smoothly. Nick does a great job managing the restaurant and especially keeping the servers and customers happy and satisfied. Thank you Nick for always making my Greenstreet visit an enjoyable one!

Derek was awesome!! We sat at the bar, and Derek was our bartender. He was fantastic. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best experience possible. I ordered a macallan on the rocks. He offered, based on a previous drink, to cedar smoke my scotch. I agreed, and this was the best decision I could have made. It was delicious. Many props to Derek.

I don't have images to attached to each experience I've had at green street because my plate is usually devoured within the matter of milliseconds...no kidding ! I always come here on Sunday's usually with a tight night of friends as it is not the place for large groups and I actually dig that the most of this place; I love this little spot in the grove. Try their eggs Benedict, still happens to be my favorite dish here... they do it so well!

One more Coconut Grove disappointment.... We were a party of 5 on a Saturday night. We arrived at 8pm, with the place still half empty and were seated right away. Our waiter was really nice and knowledgeable, giving us good suggestions and demonstrating he knew well the menu. We ordered and our drinks and appetizers arrived promptly and were all very good. Unfortunately that's when everything started going down hill. About the time our appetizers arrived we noticed the restaurant starting to get really full, and by the time our entrees arrived the place was packed. Our food arrived, although we waited for it a little bit longer than we would have liked, and two people had ordered burgers, both medium rare. One was more towards done and the other was clearly overcooked. The waiter apologized and said he would take it back and return with another one really quick. Well, we tried eating very slow to wait for our friend that had no food, but by the time her burger came back we had all finished eating. What came back? Another overcooked burger..... What's the point of asking how you want your meat done if you're not going to do it? My friend decided to eat it anyway. The waiter was mortified and said he would bring the manager to talk to us. He came back three times to ask if the manager had stopped by but of course he hadn't. He offered to get us dessert on the house and two of us said, sure, just bring us a scoop of vanilla ice-cream each. 5 min later another waiter just stops by and puts two bowls of ice-cream at the table and leaves.... with no spoons!!! We spend 10 min trying to get any waiter's attention to ask for spoons and when one of us finally walks in and asks one of them for spoons she comes out and brings just one. When we ask for a second one she rolls her eyes and acts like we're being super demanding and brings back another spoon and practically throws it on the table. Bottom line... the food is ok, nothing to write home about but don't expect great service, especially when the place is full, they clearly don't give a damn.

This is a great place for early morning coffee and breakfast. The staff is friendly and efficient, the food is served in large portions and the outdoor seating allows for people watching. I lounged here over breakfast for an obscene amount of time (as is my habit) and was never hurried or bothered. My server just kept refilling my water, refreshing my coffee and smiling. I will definitely return.

Was in town for a wedding, exploring the area and the crowd of people waiting outside brought us in. We grabbed a couple cocktails at the bar-ambiance was great. Ended up coming back a couple days later for lunch on our way out of town. Food was fantastic, we filled up on the salmon dip so I wasn't able to eat as much of my sandwich and fries as I would have liked. But would definitely recommend. Delish!

I've been to lots of places all around the world; while drinks and prices may vary slightly, it's still essentially the same business. Personality is the only reason to visit a bar more than once, and between Emily and Rebecca, Greenstreet Cafe fills its quota by the boatload! Merry Christmas girls!

This was the worst service I have ever experienced. The front of house staff was completely incompetent and the manager couldn't be trusted to manage a Subway Shop. We waited for an hour and a half. They closed the kitchen all because of a small community parade that had been going on for 30 years. I guess that an established restaurant with years of experience had no plan for the annual event. Here is some advice even a child could figure out. Either don't promise tables until after the event or make it clear there is a time limit for how long you can sit. I'd stay away since this total incompetence would signal horrible management any day.

greenstreet is a little gem in the grove. very yummy food and reasonably priced (steak and eggs only $12!) steak was cooked perfectly. eggs were overdone but scrambled usually are for me. they have the best bloody Mary's, get a blushing geisha. spicy and delicious but not overpowering. only problem is that they're always packed!went at noon on a Friday and had to 45 minutes for a table. maybe make a reservation if they take them.

Service is always on point here. The food is great, trying a non brunch item today for the first time. I usually eat French toast or eggs/omelette or pancakes. The signature drinks are delicious too! Today I'm trying the lamb burger with a side of asparagus. Hope it's as good as everything else on the menu. The only downside is the wait - usually 45min to an hour on Sunday afternoons. But they are just so busy! We bring the dog and sit outside, lots of good people watching and coco walk is around the corner!

Great food, noisy area, does not take reservations, usually pretty good service. I've come for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner and it is almost always the same good service and good food. They allow dogs which is a plus for me, not for everyone. ** If you want to come for Sunday brunch, prepare to wait at least one hour to be seated!**

Just sat down. The place smells bad. Tables are dirty. Ask the bus boy to clean up the table and he used a dirty towel which he used for alreay many other tables, to simply smear the leftover food on our table. Got up and left the place. Oh yeah - the menues were filthy as well.

I love this place. They do everything right from food to drinks to decor i love it. I used to frequent this place quite a bit sadly i moved north. But i have such fond memories of this place. Food. Its tasty and looks pretty, they have a great brunch, lunch is great and not as packed and there dinner is very yummy with a healthy-ish bar menu. They are always packed. But are well staffed I never had an issue with the service, They have a great bar scene at night which is so much fun, met my fiance here over a bottle of wine. Speaking of wine they have an excellent wine selection. I love the huge chairs in red velvet, that is a romantic touch great for canoodling i mean you can fit three people in one chair! Its a fun place full of beautiful people check it out.

I enjoyed the ambiance here. Lovely red velvet, high back, tufted chairs lined the brick sidewalk. The patio seating area was also covered by rectangular umbrellas. Definitely a great venue to chill and enjoy the beautiful Miami weather. It was a pleasant surprise on a Monday night to learn that this restaurant offers 1/2 off every bottle of wine (Mondays only). Quite naturally, I used this opportunity to taste their coveted Barolo Pio Cesare. It's normally $93 but the Monday special cut that in half, which made it well worth the splurge. Next, I decided to get their Jamaican chicken wings to complement the hearty wine. In my mind, these wings were supposed to be "jerk" seasoned and a bit spicy. In reality, they we basically blackened wings with no real flavor profile. Seven wings come in an order for $9. More than $1/wing is not good when the wings aren't good. At least the wine and ambiance carried the night.

I've been a customer at Greenstreet for a while now and the food is always consistent. We came for Mother's Day yesterday so a wait was expected. I think anyone who decides to dine out on major holidays better be prepared for some bumps in the road. No worries. I had the Eggs Benedict with a side of bacon, of course. Everyone's orders came out perfect and delicious, including my favorite, their Bloody Mary. Service is always good, food delicious. BLOODY MARY BRO -TPK

Had Brunch at Greenstreet again during the Mango Strut Parade , also known as the busiest day of the year and let me tell you I've never seen a bar so busy in my life. Not once was I waiting to be served. I don't know what these bar tenders are on but Amy and Emily were on FIRE! I can honestly say they are the best bartending duo I have eevr seen. Also, who ever was managing that morning deserves an award cause Greenstreet was insanely packed. I've been in the business for 6 years and the Mango Strut parade is a managers nightmare I'm sure. I love Greenstreet. Best brunch spot in Miami.

Bob B.
Many times here, and food good on all visits - although the brunch/breakfasts are to me the best. Great atmosphere at the abundant outdoor seating , including the big outdoor bar and novel red velvet settees and heat lamps. Tonight a puff pastry wrapped Brie, and crispy thin chorizo pizza. Took forever for food to come out, but the 2 bartenders were very gracious and comped a few nice tap beers. Read the other reviews on the brunch food and excellent cocktails for grown-ups. Excellent people watching location at a busy intersection. Pup friendly. It's a nice quick drive from the airport and South Beach, and worth it for a much nicer experience and more subtle but upscale environment.

Stopped by last Saturday for brunch. GreenStreet was packed, and we were told the wait would be between 45 minutes and an hour. My bestie and I didn't mind and walked over to the bar to indulge in some bellinis. We ended up having 3 bellinis each before we were seated, but the bar tender was lovely and the weather in the outside bar was spectacular so we didn't mind. Once seated, our waiter quickly came to take our order, the menu had so many delicious options that we had to ask for more time about 3 times. We couldn't make up our minds! Finally I opted for the Fig salad, while my friends had a cheeseburger and a fried portabella mushroom sandwich. HOLY cheezus, the fried portabella sandwich was AMAZING! And I'm actually already planning a return to GreenStreet JUST for that dish. The service was excellent and the food was really good. I definitely recommend for brunch!

A few months ago, for some reason, this spot had some sort of CRAZY hype. Almost everyone I knew was "instagramming" their Nutella french toasts from here and hashtagging brunch time and all that typical stuff. Although it is a great brunch spot, it would just get so so full on the weekends and I am not a fan of waiting 1hr + to be seated :-( ...especially when I'm starving! So i wouldn't go much, buuuuuut...... Now that their hype has died down a bit, I've decided to frequent this spot for brunch. Our wait time was 20-30 minutes, but we ended up waiting less than 15 mins. We were told that they would text us when our table was ready. They first sent a text with our wait time and a link; we were monitoring how many parties we had ahead of us with a link we were given. When we received the text, we showed it to the hostess and were directed to a table. Our server wasn't much of a talker but he was nice. I ordered the scrambles eggs with jerk spices and my fellow foodie best friend ordered a feta cheese and spinach omelet. Both of our meals came with potatoes and our choice of bread. I asked the server to add sausage to my entree, and apparently their was a miscommunication of some sort because my eggs came with pieces of sausage cooked in it. I didn't mind or tell the server- for what? the eggs were still delicious! We also ordered the Nutella-stuffed french toast to share. We loved our meals, as usual. I love their eggs with jerk spices!! I look forward to making more stops here for brunch since their meals are great and their wait time is now reasonable!

The restaurant have some amazing outdoor seating. It was right on the street. The service was a little slow however if the waiter was very nice and polite. The food was okay.

GreenStreet has remained pretty solid throughout the years. There's definitely nothing exciting about sitting indoors, all the action is happening outside. Seating is adequate, but fills up fast with large groups who are most likely going to set-up camp for the evening. Whiskey Wednesdays are a great deal - you can't beat $5 Black Label.

Excellent spot for brunch, lunch and dinner with beautiful outside and inside seating and delicious food. To top it off, the service is always perfect even when it's a busy, rainy day like it was today. John (server) and Shawn (manager) made our daughter's birthday brunch a memorable one, with exceptional service and accommodation. We will continue going back to Greenstreet for years to come!

I have a love/hate relationship with Greenstreet. The food is typically delicious, don't get me started on their truffle fries, but the service is always horrible. I know that I night they're a popular hotspot... And for that reason you'd think they would know to have more people working! Getting the check and then getting the check back is always impossible... And once my water glass is empty it stays that way for the rest of the night. Nightlife is always fun, especially whiskey Wednesday, but just know that if you go for food, it will taste great but the service will be lackluster.

Four of us stopped here for lunch and drinks on a Saturday. The wait was enjoyable on the comfortable couches and I even got my shoes shined while enjoying the great people watching. Lunch was excellent! Lamb burger was cooked to perfection and endive salad was just the right portion. Spinach dip was delectable but authentic chips would be a great addition. Excellent choice in Grove.

This local breakfast-brunch restaurant is absolutely the best!!! Starting with the atmosphere where you feel like everyone is on vacation at all times. The place is super clean, staff is super professional and the food is outstanding. I kept going back and not wanting to go anywhere else because their food is so good. I had the Nutella French toast which is perfect dor the Nutella lover. But then I tried the Coconut Crusted French Toast and fell in love. Their potatoes are so good, not to mention that my Iced Caramel Macchiatto was to die for.

My best friend and I stopped by Greenstreet a few weekends ago and had an amazing experience. The restaurant provides a chic and warm environment, as well comfortable outside seating with friendly staff. Our waiter Efrain, was very courteous, friendly and his knowledge of the menu was amazing. The fact that he was well groomed, and attractive only adds to the dining experience. The menu was explained in detail as he walked us through the menu, and made recommendations. Efrain introduced us to a variety of bubbly's and kept our glasses full , he suggested the eggs benedict with the Nutella stuffed French toast which were right on the mark, and asked several times if we were satisfied with our meal. Needless to say, we were extremely well fed, and his attention to our meal and our pleasure in it, was outstanding. The food was delicious and a great value for the price, I also have to admit that it is great service; which nowadays is so hard to find, that will keep me going back to Greenstreet.

Coconut Grove is easily one of my favorite neighborhoods in Miami. It's hip and chic in equal measure, with... sounds silly, but great landscaping. Lots of green and close to the water. To be cool and attractive here is a feat in itself. And GreenStreet is probably the prettiest cafe in all of the Grove. Am-bee-aaaaance, dahling. Go and over a cocktail--they're superb anytime outside of peak hours. And brunch. Brunch hard my friends. Just brace yourself for, well, bracing service, on-the-whole.

Great Cafe for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and even late hanging in Coconut Grove. The staff is always friendly and professional. I love to sit outside and enjoy Their food, my favorite dishes are The Goat Cheese Bruscheta, The Greek Salad and their Calamari appetizer. It is a perfect place to meet with friends and hand in the grove. I been going to Greenstreet for such a long time and never get tired. It is like my backyard in the Grove.

Was referred to this place by some locals and it was yummy! Wasn't worth the $50 for two people but it was standard. I got the spinach & feta omelette and it was yummy. The man got herbs and tomato omelet and it was very flavorful. Very nice waitress and fast service considering how large this restaurant is.

The waiter was attentive, despite being spread quite thin across 6 tables. The tables next to us were moved together to accommodate a teacher and 12 students, one of which was the son of a very famous basketball player. The kids were really loud, which drastically lowered the value of my experience, however that isn't really the restaurants fault. We ordered the Salmon Penne, which isn't on their menu anymore, but to my pleasure the chef said he would make it. Food was hot and delicious as remembered, the waiter was polite, and besides the unnecessary shouting, it was a nice lunch. If you like Salmon, ask the chef to make the Penne for you, it's coated in a delicious cream sauce and as usual is a huge portion.

I visited this place for Sunday Brunch because of the reviews. I arrived at 12noon and it was a 2 hour wait. I was shocked but decided to wait around and see. They will text you when a table becomes available. We were sitting outside waiting on the comfy couch and after 30minutes I learned I could order take-out from the inside bar and eat on the comfy couches that also had a table in the front.. Well we did just that and it was still perfect because the weather was perfect. I had scramble eggs, pancakes and it was ALL delicious.. I totally recommend this place.. Its a fun, happy chic atmosphere. A perfect outdoor eating when the weather is good.. I will be returning but I will arrive at 10am to try and get a table

Honestly if I could give this place more than just five stars I would. Not only is the service fantastic, but the food is delicious, perfectly prices, and well-portioned. Sometimes the wait is long but with the app they use it tells you the wait time and exactly how many people are ahead of, which is perfect since the location is beautiful and allows you to walk around without being worried that you will miss your table since the app is on your phone. This has become my usual go to brunch location. PS. Dogs allowed (always a plus).

My husband and I are having an absolutely amaze experience here! I ordered the curry chicken ravioli which was fabulous. The taste with the raisins for added sweetness was absolutely delicious, as was my peach Bellini. Julio ordered the classic cheeseburger which he is enjoying, and we loved the French fries so much we ordered an extra side! Our waiter has been friendly and attentive despite the fact that he is extremely busy. He was very helpful to us as an indecisive couple in making our meal selections. We will definitely be back for breakfast!

My first review has to be on one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The restaurant that started making me a big foodie 4 years ago.... Greenstreet Cafe! Ambiance is everything with me when it comes to my restaurants and greenstreet is the definition of great ambiance. There restaurant is set up like a french bistro with plenty of greenery from the grove. Always sit outside (unless theres a hurricane), it makes the food much better and there are alot of people to watch The brunch is legendary, soft buttery french toast, great omelette selections (goat cheese and tomato!) and the banana and blueberry pancakes. Even the free bread is great! The Chorizo Mac and Cheese is a must for an appetizer! The Truffle Fries and Tuna Tartare are favorites as well. For Lunch/Dinner: I suggest the Lamburger, Skirt Steak, Lamb Chops, Sylvano's Linguini, Linguini w/ clams as well the various salads. Greenstreet will never get old to me. The food is consistently great and the service is even better. Dont hesitate to give me a shoutout when you see me stuffing my face at this wonderful place

I had been wanting to visit this place for quite some time now and all was well except for one thing, there was a curly hair in our nutella french toast ! Yikes ! They were nice enough to take it off our bill & give us 2 free mimosas. However, the food tasted great, especially the cinnamon pancakes! I would go back just for those. The mimosas were delicious and overall i really enjoyed myself.

Love the brunch, just hate the long wait at times (especially on weekends). Nutella stuffed french toast is a must try, and I like to keep it simple with just an omelet or scrambled eggs, and the potatoes and toast it comes with.

I've only ever sat outside here - the weather has (luckily - so far) always permitted it, and the ambiance outside is great, either for a ladies' night, or a date night. Food isn't particularly fancy, but it *is* delicious - and the portions are sizeable. Not the fastest service in Miami, but given how popular they always seem to be, they do a very reasonable job. Definitely worth going to if you're in the Grove!

Green Street has delicious food but after my experience last night, I will never return. The customer service that I received was horribly unprofessional. When I showed the bartender my legitimate identification he refused to serve me. After showing multiple other forms of identification to prove that I was not using a fake ID and that I am truly 21, they still refused, saying things like "this doesn't even look like your picture" or "if you are from a Southern state, then why don't you have a Southern accent?" When I finally spoke to the manager and explained the situation, she was even more rude and unprofessional than the bartenders. Other employees were huddled around the door to the kitchen watching and I felt very uncomfortable. The manager put me into tears because of her rudeness and hostile attitude. I had been attacked for doing nothing wrong. Needless to say, Green Street is notorious for serving minors. It seems ironic that they would refuse to serve me when I am legally of age and had the proper identification to prove it.

I love the vibe at Greenstreet and their Brunch is awesome! I do wish they had more gluten free options (everything seems to have bread involved or flour of some sort) and I also wish they'd offer more salad dressings that weren't just Balsamic Vinegar. But aside from this, cool hang out spot with good food that's just moderately overpriced. If things were a few dollars cheaper I'd be here more often.

I'm sorry to give this place an "OK" rating. after all the wonderful reviews, i was slightly disappointed on the service i received last Saturday morning for brunch. We were a group of 8 and were advised that splitting checks was not allowed. What? who does that? Our waiter was the worst. we all basically the same meal, eggs with potatoes. Took foooooorever. Waiter never came by to check on us, coffee or water was never refilled. Very overpriced for eggs and potatoes. sad to say I would not be returning.

My husband and I come to this restaurant a lot of time for their famous Happy hours on Wednesday that they offer $5 whiskey, you ant beat that price. I been wanting to try their brunch but every time we decide to do so the wait is almost an hour long. But today we arrived around 2pm and we only waited 20mins. I order veggie omelette that came with potatoes and toast And it was great , but my husband eggs Benedict didn't taste that good, specially when it came to the hollandaise sauce it was pure mayo. Not to many restaurant could make Hollandaise sauce the right way, it was sad that they couldn't get it right. We both order a latte and it was horrible water down coffee. I will continue coming for their Happy Hours but not some much for the food. :(

Nice outdoor seating venue with good atmosphere! i hadn't had lamb in a while, so I got the lamb chops. They were perfect! Paired with grilled asparagus, TASTY! Friends got Chicken Picatta and Skirt steak and they were impressed as well. Decent wine selection, although lacking on beer selection, mainly domestics. Kick up the craft notch and impress a few more folks guys! All in all a great place and i would recommend to anyone!

This is a great place to bring your out of town guests. They get a good view of the Miami Scene from the comfort of a very nice outdoor eating area. My favorites are the lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberry compote and the goat cheese salad.

I had to post how bad we were treated. The food was OK. Awesome location. But for me human values come first . the waitress looked like they just woke up with a hangover . made us wait more than 10 min for one order. After 10 min she asked me if I could move because somebody wanted our table really bad. I was very disappointed. I decline and said that was wrong. And she explain that it should not be a big deal. I stayed because I did not want to make a big deal. But I will not come back .. The power of the consumer is in writing reviews and not coming back back or recommending. Some places are amazing but the staff is horrible.

Had breakfast with friends yesterday. Have been there many times but I was impressed yesterday by both the service and the food. The waiter was very friendly and knew the menu really well so he made a few recommendations. I had an omelette with vegetables and a cappuccino. It was really good! All my friends were also happy with their plates. Great place to go and sit outside. Great location and great service. Congratulations!!

Been coming here for years. BUT...about 2 months ago they changed their Bloody Mary mix. This combined with a horrible pepper around the top of the glass, makes it something I will never order again. The have a new bartender team that needs to go back to bartending school.

I have only been here once and that was for dinner but I found it to be delicious and definitely worth visiting again. It has an awesome atmosphere that was nice but casual at the same time. I had the lobster ravioli (OMG YUM!!!) and shared the brownie with ice cream for dessert. After reading the reviews it looks like I need to try out the brunch some time for sure. If you are nearby I would definitely say try this place out!!

I have never written a bad review since I've joined yelped but I've never been treated this way going out to eat. This places was recommended to me by a friend so me and my husband decided to check it out. The wait was an hour to an hour and a half which is fine with me I mean it is sunday and the brunch group is pretty thick. So we grabbed a waiting table and waited for the waiter to take out beverage order... 30 minutes goes by and the server never stops at our table.... Everyone else's but not our table.... 15 more minutes passes by and another server see us and ask if we have been helped . We tell him no and he takes out beverage order and said the server would be bringing my mimosa..... I never got my mimosa. It's not until my friend flagged down the waiter that I asked to speak to a manager. When the manager finally came to our table I kindly told her the situation as to how we have been sitting there for more than an hour being completely ignored while she served every table but ours.. The manager kindly apologies and gave us a complementary round of beverages that never made it to our table. Eventually we gave up on this place and left. I will never set foot in this establishment again.

Here we go.... The little entourage of hostesses is terrible. They all have bad attitudes and clearly don't want to be here on a Sunday...(get a new job, ladies)...they told me, with a perfect eye roll, that there was a 2 hour wait...We waited in bar area, the bartender outside, Rebecca, was great. Super helpful, despite being the only bartender for 30+ people. Then we got seated, after an hour and a half (not complaining, because I was enjoying my mimosas outside) ...our waiter wasn't very present. He forgot our drinks, our food was super late. Luckily, GreenStreet Cafe has incredible food, it's worth the wait on a lazy Sunday but the staff needs to go. I don't want to feel like an inconvenience when I'm dining out.

I met a a friend at GSC for brunch on a sunny Saturday morning. It was jammed with locals and tourists -- including loads of families with kids. The brunch menu goes in two directions -- either big, lovely omelets accompanied by crispy hash browns and toast or fancy pancakes and french toast. The goat cheese and spinach omelet was huge and I ate every bite of the omelet + half a toasted baguette and a huge mound of potatoes. The place is cute and definitely could be a go to breakfast spot if you live in the Grove or at a nearby hotel, but I suspect there are equally tasty breakfast places in every neighborhood. In short GSC is good, but is not worth driving more than a few minutes to. Doesn't that sound like a pretty good definition of three stars? .
Ahi tuna salad is very good. Watch out for the goat cheese pizza - while tasty, it can be overcooked. I would also get rid of those posters containing close-ups of miserable people. Not appetizing or tasteful.

Went for dinner at 8 on a Sunday night. Only 2 other couples sitting inside, though the place was packed outside/in the bar area. It seemed because it was so bare inside, staff forgot to come back in... we waited 10+ minutes for anyone to come to our table, after we'd been seated. Once he got there though, the waiter consistently came back and was friendly. As for the food: the hummus lacked any flavor at all, I'd suggest a different appetizer. The salmon was delicious, and the lobster ravioli was good, although the sauce really overwhelmed the lobster itself. Our drinks were all delicious, the raspberry lemon drop was my favorite. The tres leches cake was also delicious. Overall, I'd go back just to repeat the salmon, lemon drop and cake! And I'd like to try some other appetizers and entrees, the place is worth checking out. It's very cute inside as well, a great date spot.

very disappointed with GreenStreet. definitely not what it usto be. the portions have gotten smaller and the quality of the food has gone down tremendously. Im allergic to MSG and just discovered that they put MSG on everything!!! Salad dressings, chicken, pizza, calamari. You are basically paying to get sick. Horrible! Very disappointing!

How have I waited so long and not gone to this Coconut Grove staple? Its ok, it was worth the wait! The only reason I did not give this place a full 5 stars was that the service was not so good at the time. We waited a long time for someone to come to our table just to get our drinks, only to have another waiter realize we had not been helped. When our waiter finally did arrive to take our order, it took a very long time to get any follow up. We ordered hazelnut syrup, this was not provided. When trying to remind our server of this, couldnt find him and it took him a really long time to come by again to check on us. Same thing for requesting the check, getting the check, and getting it paid. I finally had to stand up and walk to the front service to pay my bill, only to be intercepted by my waiter. And then another wait to sign my card... that aside, the food was very good! Highly recommend Steve's Banana Pancakes and the Jamaican Jerk eggs. I would also like to point out that breakfast potatoes are pretty standard and are nothing to be excited for usually...but here...they stand out! I want to go again just to repeat the exact items I ordered ...but I will be sure to get a different waiter.

Had their chocolate french toast. It's not on the menu so you have to specifically ask for it. It was nice that real semisweet chocolate bars were inside the french toast but I was hoping that it would be dipped in chocolate. It was okay.

Nice place to have some drinks and apps. Dont leave until you try the fries! SOOO GOOD!!! Can get pricey but the food is definitely worth it, specially if you have the fries! I had the lamb burger with goat cheese with fries....it was good but I would have preferred the good ole angus...next time...because I will definitely be back ....for more fries. If you have friends/family in town definitely stop buy for drinks and people watching...they wont forget it...or the fries. truffle fries. The End.

Last night I went to GreenStreet Cafe with a large group to celebrate a friend's birthday. So often when we go out to other restaurants, the service is lousy and figuring out checks is a mess. Earlier in the week a reservation was made at GreenStreet Cafe for 20 people; however, a couple of days later we were told the reservation could only be kept if everyone ordered from a fixed, pre-determined menu - which is not what we wanted to do. We decided to go to GreenStreet Cafe anyway but anticipated having some issues as a group of 20 people without a reservation. When we arrived, the restaurant seemed to be fairly busy (Saturday 8pm). Even so, the staff managed to put together tables to seat 20 people with minimal wait time. As more friends trickled in, GreenStreet Cafe allowed us to add more tables and chairs to accommodate our growing group. We were fortunate to have Justin as our waiter for the evening. Justin was absolutely wonderful. He had a great attitude and was very responsive. I can't say enough good things about Justin because I was so impressed with the service. I will definitely be going back to GreenStreet Cafe and asking to sit in Justin's section :)

Awful service! Went for Brunch they told us they would text us when the table is ready. When I arrived to the table they messed up and the table was not available. Then the staff particularly the Manager became very rude telling me and my kids to go back outside. My 7 year old crying and they wouldn't even bring us an OJ to calm her down.

Went here tonight for date night with my boyfriend. We were looking for something casual. There was no wait, and we asked to sit outside. The waiter was great, super nice and friendly. The food came out quickly and the flatbread was delicious...super thin and crispy crust. Just as our entrees came out, I started to get bitten by bugs. The waiter immediately escorted us to a table inside and moved all our food and drinks inside and was very nice about it! Good food, good service, I'll be back!

How is it even possible that a restaurant with a french owner can't properly prepare brie? it was a cold gelatinous mess on first pass, a gritty scrambled egg like mess on the second, needless to say we were unwilling to chance a third...we left, never to return!

This was my first time in green street and it was delicious food but the service was awful. The hostesses were great and very professional but the server barely paid attention to our table and it took more than 30 minutes to get our food. The managers were all over the place and seem like they have no idea what they are doing. There was a bad smell coming from what seemed to be the staff room and the restaurant was not very clean or taken care of. I don't plan on returning.

I've been hearing about this place forever and I finally got to check it out for brunch. There was some good, some bad but overall it was a decent experience. This place gets very packed and most of the seating is outdoors, and it being Miami in January, it was very hot. There were no fans in sight except for one right above our table that was grimy and disgusting, and I'm sure if we had asked them to turn it on, it would have blown nasty black stuff all over our food. So we sat in the heat instead. If I had seen the menu before going, I might have suggested another place because it is the most unremarkable thing. It's like they took a Denny's menu and upgraded the quality. (Who goes out to brunch to order continental breakfast?!) I ordered a ham and cheese omelette and a Heavenly Street, which was a raspberry flavored champagne cocktail. That was delicious. The omelette was equally great, also a very healthy portion. It came with potatoes and toast. I ordered white, I got wheat. Why even ask then? The "potatoes" are nothing more than cubed fries. They're good but nothing spectacular. We asked the server for ketchup a couple of times. When she brought it out, she gave us one tiny cup of it, even though there were 5 of us and almost all of us had fries. Even though the food is great, I'm not totally convinced I would ever go back here. I can get a decent cheese omelette wherever.

So disappointing. This is my first negative review as a Yelper. I've been to Greenstreet many times, and for the most part I'd rate them 3.5 to 4 stars. Today's brunch was horrible. Our party of 4 were welcomed by the waiter within an acceptable timeframe..he took our drink order, brought water and then vanished, never to be seen again. We asked another server, Maria, to come to our rescue. She was the bright spot...friendly, attentive and apologetic. We once again ordered our drinks and placed our food orders. Given they were slammed, let's overlook that it took 30 minutes to get our food...basically egg dishes. To a person, each of our egg dishes were significantly over cooked...and cold. It almost seemed like they had been pre-cooked hours earlier. When you order a cheese omelette and the cheese is not gooey...it's a bad sign. The potatoes...oh the potatoes. I've always said there's nothing better than French fries that are hot out of a fryer,...and nothing worse than cold fries. The same goes for home fries. Today's home fries were cold, chewy and overcooked. On the good side, I wasn't tempted to eat them..thus maintaining a New Years resolution. The atmosphere was great...but for breakfast/brunch we'll be finding other venues.

Food was good , but service i do not want to remember, after almost 15 minutes , we had water and bread over the table, them another 15 minutes to order a botle of wine, the fried calamary we order to start was served in another table , so wait time was longer than 25 minutes and not only that , we order a second bottle of wine, but never was served , we ask for the ticket and they charged for the wine we never received, so the server noticed that and she ask if we still want it , she never apologized for tthe horrible service we received. I will never want to go back.

Excellent service for families, I was there this morning my son broke a glass and they were as nice as anybody can be. The food fuel me for the rest of the day, and I am writing this review because of that. Excellent french bread, baguettes and omelets. I liked it a lot...

This place is always a must for late night dining. We started out with the caramelized onion flat bread and a strawberry lychee martini. The cocktail was great. I found myself drinking most of her first drink and ordering a set for the both of us.the flatbread had great flavor but it seemed to dry overall. It was in need of some oil or sauce to be complete. Next we shared the lobster ravioli. It was tasty with a really good sauce. The pasta was creamy and cooked to perfection but was lacking enough lobster. Overall I love this place. You just have to try everything and see what works for you.

I LOVE this place!!! I've taken all my friends & co-workers here. The food is amazing & the service is great. My only complaint is that the hostesses can sometimes be snarky. But overall I love the place. I've been coming here for years now. My friends even make jokes that I should possibly become part owner. Whenever people in Coconut Grove ask me where they should go eat. I immediately send them here. GreenStreet has tons of variety. I've tried several things on the menu & have yet to be dissapointed. This is definitely a staple here in Coconut Grove. The quality is great & the service fast. If I decided to move out of the state this is definitely a place I would miss. Also, if you are ever in the inside bar.. Amy is the best!!! I've had times when I've had a pick up order & I got there a few minutes before it was done. Amy immediately is accomdating. She'll let me know of all the delicious drinks on the menu that I should try while waiting. I have immediately spent more money, because of her. It was money well spent. Because she made me never want to leave & just hang out with everyone else there. Great atmosphere!

Owney's BottomLine: Outdoor seating, great brunch and beautiful people. F' yeah! My girlfriend and I had a pretty stressful week with work so we were elated to find this gem for a fantastic brunch. I ordered the scrambled eggs with jerk spice with homefries, a side of chorizo and added a cappuccino. This hit the spot and dinning outside in such perfect weather made this even better. She got the chocalate french toast which may have been to rich/sweet for her. She enjoyed it, but it wasnt her favorite. I enjoyed it, but it did require a strong sweet tooth. Keep in mind the portions are significant and you will get full.

This place really is great a bit noisy if you eat inside. The place is very fresh the only reason for the 3 stars is the price felt to high and I was only there for breakfast and the food was basic things noting extravagant

I absolutely love the red couches outside, and the huge red couch inside! A great breakfast spot that also doubles as a great place for drinks for girls night out! The decorations are very cool! Tasty food, but some of it can be a little pricy. Definitely a staple of the grove and always has a fun night. Usually good for large groups, but once our waiter completely messed up splitting the bill among multiple cards and had a bad attitude about it. But other waiters have been decent.

Trina C.
Not good for lunch! We originally intended to come here for brunch, but we were running late and when we got there the waitress said they were going to stop breakfast in about 10 minutes, so we just went with lunch. Bad choice. All three of us ordered pastas. We had the penne tetrazzini and the linguine with shrimp. They were very mediocre and very salty! Way too salty. We ordered the humus appetizer which tasted bland. We will be going back for breakfast / brunch but as far as lunch goes, go somewhere else.

My husband and I went here for brunch it was delicious! I had the Nutella waffles and it was hard to not order another one. Try it if you have a sweet tooth like I do. My husband ordered their scrambled eggs with salsa, which he loved! I tried it and it was, but not as good as my waffles. He also ordered a jack and coke and surprising it wasn't a small cup and it was strong. I was very impressed.

This review is strictly for Sunday brunch. Pet friendly. Great location. Long wait but great service. Very interesting people watching. Three words, red velvet pancakes! One more word: Perfection.

Great brunch place. Love the ambiance. Perfect place for a bloody mary and a burger on a Sunday!

Great place for the blueberry pancakes if you like a sweet breakfast or the jerk scrambled eggs if you want some spice. Top it off with a Bloody Maria and you have the perfect breakfast.

I absolutely love this place! My boyfriend and I have gone a handful of times and always enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, great food, and classy details. I have tried their omelettes, potatoes, pancakes, nutella french toast, mushroom sandwhich, lattes, and so on. All mouth watering. The presentation is great and it tastes great!

This has been one of my favorite restaurants for at least three years now. We eat there a few times each month. The food is consistently good and, in fact, the food has been improving lately. However, I am upset that they got rid of the mixed berry cobbler. I've eaten it for dessert regularly and it was something most restaurants don't offer as opposed to the brownie with vanilla ice cream (which I also enjoy by the way). Management, if you're reading this: I'm not happy about that decision!! P.S. shout out to vlad our server who ran half a block to bring us our forgotten leftovers.

Always good, always reliable. GreenStreet always delivers. I usually go for the Caesar salad with jerk chicken, but I don't think I've ever ordered a dish here that I didn't like.

Liza was my waitress and she was awesome. She checked up on us and made sure that our drinks were always full. It's very refreshing to know that their are waitresses that genuinely care about the quality of my outing. I would definitely recommend coming here because it's a lot of fun and the staff is dedicated to making sure that you have a memorable experience.

Went to Greenstreet last week for the first time and I would have to say that overall I had a great experience. I was surprised at how packed this place was on a weekday during the day. The food recommended by my waitress, Rebecca, was phenomenal. I am in love with the Nutella french toast!!! The only reason I didn't give a rating of 5 stars was because the food took a little longer than expected but our waitress was on top of it the whole time and kept us laughing while we waited. We will definitely be coming back for the Cinnamon pancakes. Great place to eat!!!

I honestly don't understand the hype about this place. The breakfast is alright- plus it's terribly overpriced. Food is not creative nor imaginative. Though our waiter was really nice it couldn't save this place from suffering the crime of most Miami hyped eateries. Pros: outdoor seating, pet friendly. Cons: overpriced fare, bland food, no fans- it's south florida for chrissakes!

My daughter wanted to celebrate her birthday here with her friends so I took her. Since it was weeknight there were plenty of tables inside. The people were very friendly and attentive. The appetizers, drinks, food and desserts were great. All the plates of food that we ordered were great. You can't go wrong with any of their plates. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Have lived in the grove for 5+ years and greenstreet is always a favorite for drinks, dinner, and brunch. One Tuesday, my friends and I had a hankering for Indian food and decided to get a drink first at green street. Much to our dismay, Bombay darbar was closed (typically closed on Tuesday). While at the bar deciding what to do next and voicing our disappointment, the bartender suggested an off menu dinner item that must be included on the menu. Chicken piccata with the curry sauce (from the ravioli) over basmati rice. It was to die for. Dined again late last night and asked the waitor to see if the chef would accommodate this meal again, to which he happily complied. Our waitor suggested that if we post on yelp our chances of this delicious chicken dish may become a regular item on the menu. Please green street owner(s) add this deliciousness :)

I went there a couple nights ago with my mom and had such a great experience. Our food was delicious. I had the short ribs and my mom had the salmon. I never eat salmon but the sauce they put on it make it's amazing. We also shared the Brie starter which was so good. We experienced great customer service from Justin. He had such a good personality and was very knowledgable about the menu. It was my first time actually dining there and I'll definitely be back!

Mediocrity, a term we have all gotten used to. Also a term this place has gotten more than comfortable with. Falling into what I call the "tar pit" that most restaurants fall into, Greenstreet charges premium prices for mediocre food and service. The drinks are pricey and easily beat anywhere in the grove. I know that the grove is up and coming but it's still a questionable place to chill. A bus trip from UM, expect the whole area to flood with drunk and horny college students Tuesday-Saturday after 9pm. My suggestion? Screw it, why try with Greenstreet

Brought the whole family here for Brunch on Memorial Day. They gave us a wait time of 45 minutes but we were seated in about 15 minutes. The server was attentive and gave good recommendations.. The food was tasty and well prepared. No real complaints.. the only drawback is pricing.. we spent about $22 per person.. which is a bit pricey for breakfast.

Located in the middle of the Grove, all outdoor seating. A friend and I stopped in for Happy Hour and dinner. I had been here before for breakfast which was very good. We decided to sit in the lounge area outside which was nice other than they really need to clean or get new furniture. From the weather and being outside the couches were stained badly. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. They do not have a great happy hour. Basically no food just beer specials and two dollars off wine by the glass and well drinks for I believe $6. I ordered a couple of glasses of wine and my friend ordered vodka and pineapple which she said tasted like water. I would have sent it back asking for more vodka please. Happy hour does not mean, skimp on the alcohol. As I looked at the menu, nothing was really sparking my interest. Burgers, pizza, wraps, salads and pasta dishes were basically it. I found their prices to be high. It felt like the beach prices. I ordered a salmon salad at $16. Once we received our food, my salmon was fresh, grilled with nice seasonings, fresh lettuce and very good dressing. I enjoyed my salad very much. We enjoyed our dinner, and service was great. Although my salad was very good, it is not a place I would come out of my way to come to. Mainly for me because of their menu selection and prices. I have never been a fan of the Grove. Most restaurants here are high priced and food is average at best.

If I could have 10 stars on this place I would. Where should I begin? Breakfast: I'm a regular there and usually have bagel with cream cheese and a side of potatoes. coffee in a to go cup and a diet coke.....this is AMAZING!! There chocolate chip pancakes are FIRE and scrambled eggs with ham, out of this world. Lunch: My favorite chicken wrap with fries!!!!!!!!! Those thin slice fries you just want more and more. Dinner: I usually have the Penne chicken pasta. Really good, it comes in a pink sauce which is incredible. I go there at least once a week and every time I go my expectations are met. Alex the manager is always greeting customers while still running the restaurant to the max. He is really friendly and always makes sure the customer is happy. Justin is an amazing waiter. I get there he already knows exactly what I want. My husband was impressed one morning when we arrived, he thought that something was up because no had welcomed us at the table but it was that Justin saw us come in and when he came to welcome us he had already in hand my diet coke, coffee in a to go cup and two glasses of water!!!!! 10 stars for Justin. Overall this place is my ultimate favorite. I can live off of GREENSTREET my whole life. I enjoy this place sooooooo much I purchased the shirts that the waiters and waitresses wear!!!

The food was great, but Justin, our server, was extremely kind, provided us with excellent customer service and gave us a detailed description of the entrees, which really pushed the dining experienced over the top. He is a real pro!!! We had not visited the restaurant for a while, but we will definitely be back soon.

Whether you want brunch or dinner, Greenstreet is a failsafe in miami. Their french toast is one of the best in town and their salmon is cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is vibrant and the wait staff is quick and friendly. If you have to wait anytime at all it is worth it.

I've lived in the Grove for over a decade and this place has been a staple. Menu hasn't changed much in that time. Staff of course has turned over a bit. The current staff is a bit hit or miss. The food is good, omelettes drenched in butter, french toast nice and crispy, don't expect healthy in terms of preparation but do expect good in terms of taste. The level of butter used is sure to get your arteries screaming but maybe that's why people love it so much. Drinks are the real reason I love this place. The Bloody Mary's are some of the best I've had. Some say it's the best breakfast in the Grove, expect a long wait on Sunday's and holidays. Friendly atmosphere from the bar staff inside they take the time to get to know you, when you pull up a bar stool it's like coming home.

Tons of places to eat and drink in the Grove. This is one of them. Lots of outside seating which is where we always like to sit. The server was good and the selection of beers was good. The food was enjoyable but nothing to get excited about. Not disappointing, not exceptional. One of our party had their order botched and the manager was kind enough to apologize and give us a free dessert for the table. I left town and my friends said they came back for breakfast as it was highly recommended. Apparently the breakfast here is excellent as my friends did say it was quite good. Go again? Sure. Recommend you try it? Absolutely.

Lunch, people. Lunch. I see a lot of inconsistency/complaints about brunch, happy hour, etc. Avoid all that drama by stopping by around 12:30 on a Tuesday and going to town on the lunch menu. Odds are, there won't be many people in the restaurant so you can get attentive service in the back room (which resembles one of the many parlors I will one day have in Chateau Johnree). You can order something savory that's not egg-based and end the meal with something sweet that's not a pancake. And, most importantly, you can actually enjoy your meal and experience at this Coconut Grove staple. #belikeme As one might surmise, I came for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon and sat my perky (I really should have a workout tape) nalgas on a velour throne and proceeded to pretend to listen to my lunch mate but, in reality, I just stared at myself in the adjacent mirror. Sounds perfect, right? It gets better. Our waiter was friendly and a little goofy. He tried a bit too hard but his heart was entirely in the right place. In the nearly year since I moved to Miami, I have experienced more d@amn-now-I-have-to-CUT-you service than I have in my entire life. If a waiter wants to crack wise and do his best to make my dining experience a pleasant one? Go for it. Unfortunately, he's in the minority. Jokes cracked, buttocks rested, Arnold Palmer ordered (the best lunch time beverage) and reflection looked at, it was time to decide on food. Let me let you in on a secret: for lunch, go light savory and end light sweet. It's not 'plastics' but I promise you the advice will take you far. Listening to my own advice, I opted for the grilled chicken sandwich. It was of a fairly-large size and came adorned with honey mustard, bacon and swiss cheese. Instead of fries, I chose a side of black beans to go with the sandwich. BAM! I win. I always win. Not only was the meal big enough to sate my appetite, it tasted great, was meal-time appropriate (there's an etiquette to eating) and made me consider the next time I would come to GS to have it again. But, that's not where the story ends. You have to end on a light sweet note, remember? Good. Now, remember this: lemon ricotta donuts with blackberry dipping sauce. ... If I have to say anything else after that last sentence, you're not listening or trying very hard. Crazy. Good. Share because you're in public but don't really share by eating the majority of the donuts before your friend can. Sorry, friend. And, that's how you win at eating at GS. Are you looking at my bum?

Sometimes, when my friends are having a bad week, when they really need a turn in their life, when they really really need a pick me up, I bring them to Green Street and make them order breakfast (served until at least 2PM, every day, by the way) The breakfast potatoes, they are life changing. Life. Changing. Yea yea yea, Green Street has great cocktails, appetizers, fine food, awesome decor and hot waiters, but those breakfast potatoes, they are therapy. Coupled with a tomato, goat cheese and onion omelette and you have a $12 slice of heaven, right there on your massive cocoanut grove-emblazoned plate. Couple that slice of heaven with an iced cappuccino, and you will be ready for anything, even if it's just non-stop gabbing about your hot waiter.

This place is just good. The location is really great as it's in a quiter part of coconut grove. Most exciting about this place is that they offer an eggs and caviar option which I think is incredible. That said, I opted for eggs and Brie which was fantastic. The sesame bagel and potatoes were excellent. I think there are little fried onions shreds in it which tasted great. Bottom line a worthwhile stop for breakfast. The only minorly annoy thing was they charged $1.25 for an extra side of cream cheese.

Went here for brunch on a Tuesday. Got the eggs with cheese, potatos and maple ham ..usual breakfast food along with a YUMMY fruit plate. The food was devine, as well as the fresh fruit. Sat outside, calm setting on this particular time and day. Service was great and very attentive! 4 instead of 5...well even for the Grove I believe the price is a tad steep

Excellent breakfast of Nutella Stuffed French Toast and a side a Greek Yogurt. Wonderful sidewalk atmosphere. Where the ball got dropped is my waitress disappeared after I was served and it took me flagging down several others to get my check. If my server had gone on break or whatever -- you would think that they would have this covered -- but no one seemed like they could be bothered.

It was my first time in Miami and I was the first one to arrive that day. My friend was able to take me out and show me around a little bit that night. Thursdays happen to be college night at The Grove. We stopped here since Fat Tuesday was kinda dead. I love their comfy couches and people watching. I didn't have any food, but they do give you some spicy nuts and crackers to munch on. The ambiance is great!

In a nut shell, Good food, large portions but service is poor. Food: price is reasonable (25$ for girlfriend and I) portions were large. Food was slightly above average. Service: sucked. Brought out dirty water cup. Had 3 different servers come up to us but they never checked back. Had to flag them down for condiments and the bill.

Got a chance to try this place out. Very good. Didn't have a long wait, got seated right away. The giant chairs they have freak me out a bit, but that's just me. Food came out fast, I had the orange chicken which was cooked really well. The skin could have been a tad bit crisper, but I'm nitpicking. The meat was tender so I don't have any complaints. Friends had no complaints about their food either, so all is good. We had the Tempura Banana desert, which was really good. I was already full to begin with, but I managed to find room for this. It was a good combo of warm/cold/sweet/and FRIED. Can't go wrong with fried. The waiter was friendly and came around to refill waters/bread as needed. Gave us some suggestions on what to do while in Florida and was generally a nice guy. If you're in Miami, grab a bite here, the food is good!

OK service. Went to visit Miami to watch a Dolphins vs. Jets game on Sunday and a friend of ours suggested this place to us. He told us they have the BEST french toast so the four of us went. We ordered half of french toast and an omelette. Honestly, I didn't think it was "the best". It was good, but I've had better. Good prices though! They have cool seats and you can sit outside/inside. I would recommend it to my friends... They have other stuff on the menu as well, so I would most likely go back if I get the chance.

Large portions and great people watching are the highlights at Greenstreet cafe. Quality of food at Breakfast was good but not great. Although we didn't try it, the nutella stuffed french toast looked quite tasty.

I went back to GreenStreet a couple of weeks ago and it'd been YEARS since my last visit. I'm not sure why I hadn't gone back, but it probably has something to do with the fact that I rarely leave Brickell. I remember thinking in the past that the food at GreenStreet was phenomenal. I think my palette is much more refined than it once was. I arrived at GreenStreet on the Saturday of the Coconut Grove Arts Festival expecting to wait a million years for a table. As expected, we waited a million years for a table. Once we sat down, we ordered the truffle brie wrapped in puff pastry since our server enthusiastically announced that it was the best item on the menu. It was...underwhelming. I then had the goat cheese salad and added chicken. I expected the salad to be much more flavorful than it was. My friend ordered the lasagna which she didn't seem too enthusiastic about. Overall, our visit to GreenStreet was pleasant, since the outdoor seating area provides excellent people-watching and the weather outside that day was perfect. In my humble opinion, if you're looking for a place to relax outside with friends and enjoy the lovely atmosphere, GreenStreet is your place. If you're expecting an out-of-this-world culinary experience, go elsewhere. PS I can't believe they still only have one women's bathroom stall, someone has GOT to do something about that!!!!!

I love this place. Especially, because I get to bring my dog. I had the lasagna and it was delicious . My boyfriend had the blacken dolphin and according to him was great. The ambiance was also great. The waiter was on point with the services. The reason for the four stars was because yamile(our waiter)was refilling my wine all the time and you can't go wrong with that.
Love this place! tried going to lulu's around 11 but they said they were closed and only serving drinks. We were starving so we came to greenstreet to see what was on the menu and order some food. They have a late night menu which we opted to get the calamri and flat bread pizza.. both were really good and at a good price. The place was also really upbeat and had a lot of people which i liked. Cool, fun and trendy place to go to and chill out, drink and grub. Im a fan of green street and i know you will be too :)

Came here during the Coconut Grove Art Show. We sat outside cause the weather was perfect to be outdoors and enjoying a meal. We started off with some calamari and it was just ok. in my opinion it had to much breading and should use a different type other than Italian bread crumbs. Then I had a Blue Cheese Burger with sauteed onions and mushrooms that was cooked perfectly. I got it with shoe string french fries. My friends had the Fig Salad with grilled chicken strips( large portion) and one other person had the same burger as I did but he got it with grilled veges. it took awhile for the food but I guess it was because of the Art Show. The waitress we had was attentive to our table filling the glasses of water and checking to see how our food was and if we needed anything else.I will definitely eat here again.

After passing by this often crowded corner so many times I decided to try it for once. My girlfriend and I had a series of yummy dishes. We started with the Truffle Brie baked in Puff Pastry served with crispy toasts. It was melt in your mouth good! After that I had the Goat Cheese Pizza and my girlfriend had the blackened dolphin. The pizza had a delicious thin crispy crust and a generous coating of goat cheese along with arugula and sun dried tomatoes. The blackened dolphin was moist, flaky and perfectly spicy. This was impressive as most restaurants over cook and dry out their blackened fish. The fish was served with the largest asparagus spears I've ever seen - very tasty! Service was prompt and polite.

Outer seating? Check. Great ambiance? Check. Strong drinks? Check. Good food? Check. Wonderful service? Check. Will I be coming again? Yes. Their pizza is delicious! Though skip the chips and salsa as the salsa has no spice to it (maybe a personal preference?)

Yelp led me astray on this one. We did not enjoy our experience and won't go back. When we called to see if they were open on New Year's Day, the hostess was extremely rude. Ok, maybe we caught her in a bad moment... We arrived as a party of 6 and one baby, and they tried to seat us at a 4 top. Weird, no. Ok, ordering. My friend ordered the eggs Benedict (listed on the menu) and the waiter said they only serve that on weekends, which it wasn't. It doesn't say that anywhere on the menu and it's mixed in with other menu items. He said he could see if he could do it. Weird. I asked if the turkey sausage came in links or patties and after glancing at all the other tables he said he had no clue. I ordered it anyways and they brought regular sausage, which I figured out after taking a bite. Ugh. THEN, we had the baby carrier on our 7th chair (they knew we were a party of 7 when we sat down) and half way during our breakfast, they came and said they needed the chair and could the baby please sit on the floor? Seriously?? So rude. All in all, not a good experience. One star because the food was fine (and yelp doesn't let you give 0).

I love the food here. And the furniture. And the drinks. And the staff...it's just a little pricey but it's coconut grove so thats to be expected. We come here for birthday dinners with friends because it's close and delicious, and when you arder a birthday dessert you get a giant firecracker roman candle thing. Sparks everywhere. Once had someone try to blow it out and shot sparks across the table... not a wise choice but made for quite the awesome photo. The staff is really friendly and accommodating, and the place is packed all day. The bar is really well stocked too. Highly recommend any pasta dish here. I love the chicken fettuccine alfredo here.

Keith P.
By far, one of the best breakfast places I have ever been to in Miami! My friend and I have been whenever we want to get breakfast, and their food is definitely a good way to start your day! I highly recommend that you try their spinach and feta omelette (it's my favorite) together with their breakfast potatoes-- amazingly crisp! Are you looking to satisfy your sweet tooth? Order Steve's Banana pancakes! They are huge and half an order should be a good meal, but if you are extremely hungry get the full order. I think it is one of my more favorite breakfast nooks because they offer you outdoor seating which faces the Grove-- good scenery!

Adalberto M.
Phantameo!! A.k.a. Overrated. GreenStreet Cafe is a staple of Coconut Grove, it is considered one of the known restaurants in this town. Naturally, this place has its clientele and really doesn't need to lure people in. Expect the service to be meh. Waiters wearing nothing but black, with a chip on their shoulder just because they believe their in the "it" spot. Food is also meh. Seriously overpriced for a burger, pizza, or any other food you can probably make yourself. In short, this place is ONLY good for people watching. Expect them dressed in all sorts of ways from shorts & flip flops to high heels & dresses. Although owned by the same company, I'd much rather go next door to Lulu's.

Good ole Greenstreet! Never, ever ceases to please a hungry soul. Whether it be breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or late-night eats, Greenstreet hits the spot. It really is my got-to place when I get hungry at odd hours since they are basically open all day and night. I honestly can't recall having a bad meal there, ever.

Grant P.
Green Street is one of those places that garners this reaction: Friend: "Let's go to Green Street." You: "OMG YES!!!" The food is great, the atmosphere of a sidewalk cafe doesn't really get much better, and the drinks are good too. This place is great for any meal. A quiet lunch, a nice dinner with friends, a night cap at the bar, or a Sunday Brunch--you could even do all of that in the same 24 hour period if you wanted.

There is better brunch out there. If you're looking for location, they have better places out there. If you're looking for food or unlimited mimosas, you can check out another place too.. The drinks were expensive, the brunch was old and burnt. I don't get it?

I don't want to be mean but the people that worked here seemed like spaced out zombies that had no clue. The host was arrogant. Our waiter didn't know anything that we were inquiring about and served us a soup that had heavy cream in it when we specifically stated that if the soup had heavy cream in it we didn't want it.... My omelette was disgusting and the potatoes on the side were like rubber. Very disappointed in this place.

Out of all the overpriced and overrated places to eat at in the grove, I find myself having a hard time staying away from here. I guess that must mean this place isn't overrated. Every morning when it is time to eat breakfast, my mind taunts me with memories of the deliciously scrumptious chocolate french toast. Since they only serve it on the weekends, and I work some weekends, I can only get this occasionally! Maybe it is for the best, because if not, I might look quite a bit different with a daily dose of chocolate french toast. Let me tell you about the french toast: Big slices of bread, with a delightfully flavored, custardy center surrounded by perfectly crisped edges. You know--that perfect crisp only rivaled by french toast sticks at a fast food place. All this perfection is presented with a dallop of the most incredible chocolate spread, holding slices of the toast together. Top this with a little natural maple syrup---and you have mouth heaven. If you aren't drooling by now, I don't know what to tell you. Try it out, and just see if you can keep yourself from thinking about every morning. For those that don't have as strong of a sweet tooth as me, there are other more savory options. The bagels are good, and I head they get them fresh from the aptly named outrageous bagels. The breakfast plates are all good. I've tried the caviar, lox, and salsa omlettes, and they never dissapoint (as long as I get my french toast fix). This has to be my favorite place in the grove. Take out is OK, but, the restaurant has some nice outdoor seating, as well as interesting looking indoor decor.

Atmosphere is definitely what makes GreenStreet a great spot. The outdoor seating is prime people watching territory and a great way to relax after a long day in the office or to chit chat with a friend over breakfast or lunch. Everything I have tried from the guacamole to salmon salad to penne pasta is great and always tastes fresh and light. Despite all the full tables, the service was quick and attentive, unlike a lot of the other restaurant service found in the grove. From reading other reviews, it seems like they have great brunch so I will have to go check that soon.

After taking our cute dogs to the park, we decided to stop by this restaurant. Loved the couches , very original idea. The atmosphere is so Miami...laid back...nice breeze...yummy food! Pros: happy hour from 5-7 girls drink free champagne! Extensive menu with good Vegetarian options! Fresh water for our pets! double plus!!! Service so nice and friendly! Menu items tried: Fish wrap with french fries, Goat cheese Salad and Goat cheese pizza. All three choices were really good..or so everyone said. My wrap was just right, tasted fresh and was just the right amount. Overall, a great evening! I gotta start hanging out in the Grove more often.

In Miami's Coconut Grove village for four days, we couldn't help noticing that this place was almost always crowded. That seemed to be a review in itself, so we took a chance for brunch one weekend morning, despite some not-so-promising customer experiences posted here on Yelp. Well, meh. I had to send my eggs back twice (runny whites), and my sausage back once (ordered pork, got turkey), but the waitress was charming and sincere. So, OK. But nothing was wonderful, not even the hot chocolate or the OJ. Husband had some lox that was "fine." Portions were unremarkable; prices a bit high for what is offered. The location is great, and the seating arrangements -- spilling up and down two intersecting sidewalks -- is generous and inviting for eating al fresco,. If only the food and the presentation were better. It's hard to have a good restaurant if the food is only "meh," even with other strong attributes.

Awesome brunch, wait and be rewarded on sundays. Drink some coffee or a mimosa and relax while you wait.

Greenstreet: a nice introduction for brunch and people watching in Miami. The ambiance sets up for people watching during brunch or late evening when folks are ramping up to party. Upon the recommendation of a friend, we decided to hit this place up for brunch. We tickled our palette with an Herb Tomato Omelet, a stack of cakes, some Chocolate French Toast, satisfying OJ, and the obvious Cuban Coffee. Not being from Florida (let alone Miami), it was great to enjoy brunch in a chill environment. Our waitress did forget a few items, but a friendly reminder remedied the situation. The chocolate french toast combined with the cuban coffee (espresso) made for a great filler. I was highly impressed with the Dyson Hand Dryer ... the only location I've seen this in is Virgin America Terminals. If Greenstreet's attention to detail reaches the bathrooms, you know you have a great establishment.

If you like to people watch in Miami, and you like to do it with REAL Miamians surrounded by REAL latinas, latinos, northeast transplants while sipping on good drinks in a breezy setting in cozy Coconut Grove, come here. Get drinks you are familiar with, they make um good and strong. Sit outside in their comfy seats and just enjoy it. Early evening is nice. That's it.

This joint is a home run for great people watching in the Grove. The martinis are epic, so are the bloody mary's. I only had a cheese and bread sampler plate here this trip and it was fab.

It's been a couple of years since I have found this restaurant. I love breakfast there. To seat outside early in the morning, with a French baguette (not super easy to find in Miami), some eggs and a cappuccino will get you the feeling you are in right place in the right time. I love to start my Fridays like this. On the weekend the place is full, so it's worth showing up early. The egg plates are big and the fruit one too. One time I had to make some arrangements and ended up meeting the manager who impressed me with his positive can-do attitude. All and all one of my favorite breakfast and brunch places in Miami.

Just an alright place despite the location and great outdoor seating. We came by for a drink and a snack. Their mojito was average by regular standards but in south Florida I would hope for more. We originally want their chorizo pizza to share, but the waitress said they were out of chorizo. She said they were doing pepperoni instead, "which is the same as choizo". That is just sacrilegious to say to any customer. They are nothing alike! Instead we ordered their "classic margarita" pizza. Unfortunately, that apparently meant a cheese pizza. We were expecting fresh mozzarella and basil. We got dried up basil flakes and a just shreaded mozzarella. The other big issue we had was when we found out from the table next to us that they had half off bottles of wine. For some reason the waitress failed to mention that to us. Well hopefully your experience goes better than ours!

I've been here countless times, all good experiences. If you haven't been to Greenstreet then you haven't really seen the Grove. It's a Grove staple as many places have come and gone over the years and this one seems to have that certain "je ne sais quoi" that has kept it open and thriving over the years. This place has great outdoor seating, very friendly servers, one of the best breakfasts in town, and a full bar. Noteworthy items on the menu are the: banana pancakes, French toast, lamburger,and fig salad. You really can't go wrong... they must be doing something right!

As a bar, Greenstreet is good with plenty of outdoor seating for great people watching in coconut grove. Other than the nightly specials and happy hour though, you will not leave with a small tab unless you know the owner (which half of the people who go there do). As a restaurant, Greenstreet has its moments, i.e. sunday breakfast/brunch. Otherwise it is just so-so in the food department though i do like the lamburger and goat cheese salad. We're all ready and waiting for the revival of Coconut Grove as a popular hangout spot in Miami so that new and better places can usurp Greenstreet from the top of the list of bars in the Grove. The fact that tesame guy opened a nearly identical restaurant across the street makes me less inclined to go to either for some reason.

The food was okay but way over priced. While we were eating there was a big roach that ran across the wall right in front of us. We informed them about it and they killed it over top of our table. Nasty! The bathrooms were nasty. They made us split the bill on our own, taking us forever to find who got what. The tip says optional but the guy came back and said that it may say it but it's not optional at all. So at this point we just wanted to get out of this place.

I am tempted to give this place 5 stars but I've only been here once...so far. A great spot in Coconut grove with plenty of outdoor seating. It was breakfast time so I ordered some french toast and oj. It was really good. Wasn't able to finish it so don't worry about getting small portions. The service was also really good. The guy recognized that I was in a bit of a rush and didn't forget about me. A must go.

GreenStreet Cafe is one of those places that are good, but that you forget about because there's nothing really enticing you to coming back. For example the food was fresh, portions were pretty decent, and prices weren't too high, but nothing I tried stuck out as being incredible. I ordered the mushroom tagliatelle, which was very tasty, but also incredibly rich. Everyone else at my table had pasta or a salad. Again I think everyone was satisfied, but not blown away. The ambiance was nice. I love eating outside, but they lit ticki torches at one point and the wind started blowing smoke at our table. The really one good thing I liked about GreenStreet Cafe was our waiter. He was pretty funny. As a whole, I think I'd come back to GreenStreet if I was in the area and was at a loss of where to eat, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

I would say good but not great. Had the cinnamon roll pancakes and everything was good, as expected. My husband had an omelet and said it was dry and a little burned. It is a good location and easy to find.

I've obviously been here a number of times since my initial review. We've made it a regular weekend brunch place because I'm in love with their Bloody Mary's and I think they do have a great breakfast. The docked star is for inconsistencies in both their food and service. Although I've yet to have a bad order of Eggs Benedict here, their Omelets seem to suffer a different fate. They often come out looking like they've spent a little too long on the griddle, but are pretty tasty nonetheless to those of you who may not mind a little browning on your eggs. Service is pretty inconsistent, especially on weekdays when they seem to be understaffed, you can end up being seated fairly quickly only to wait 40 minutes for your actual food to come out. I've had the same experience with dinner when ordering a salad and a pizza, only to wait for an hour to get my food. Considering the downfalls I listed in my review, more often than not, the servers are very friendly and polite and they can't really help the understaffed kitchen. The food is also pretty decent when the eggs aren't brown (as Andy said, these are attributed to Chickens with brown ears) and the benedict never disappoint.

I LOVE MIAMI! and GreenStreet Cafe just adds to the love. Located in the beautiful Coconut Grove neighborhood, GreenStreet Cafe offers indoor and outdoor seating. We went here for breakfast and chose to sit outside because of the great weather and inviting atmosphere. The breakfast menu has a unique variety of pancakes, french toast, and egg selections. It was so hard to choose! My husband and I couldn't decide between sweet and savory, so we ended up to sharing. He selected red velvet pancakes and I got scramble eggs with onions and nova, home fried potatoes, and whole grain toast. Both were outstanding in their own way, and needless to say there were no leftovers. This restaurant is dog friendly, so if you have a furry friend, bring them along for the experience. We will definitely be going back next time we road trip down to Miami to try lunch!

This is one of the best places I went to on my trip. Our experience was definitely not typical, but showcased the cafe at it's finest. I almost want to give it that 5th star, but can't quite. We came on a Sunday morning, slightly overcast. It was pretty sunny, so we elected for an outside table. It was about a 25 minute wait. Next time I'll use yelp to reserve ahead. We got seated at a place way too small for our group. That was a ding against them. They put together another table quickly and sat us down with more room. Generally the drinks and breakfasts in general were well received. Orders were Red Ladies, Mimosas, Bellinis, eggs and caviar, eggs benedict, fruit salad, omelet, muffins, bagels, and a few other things I can't recall. There was nothing that was less then well made. It began raining partway through. It was uncomfortable at first, but then the heavens came down, and it was soaked all over. The waiters scrambled to get everyone inside. We ended up soaked, but we were already finished with our food. They comp our meal anyway, but we really wanted to pay. Everything was outstanding, the service was great, and I generally don't hold places accountable for acts of nature. The fact they comped the meal was very professional, a sign of a place that values customers. I know not everyone will have our experience, but I would recommend, and I will come back next time I am in town.

We came here as our last stop on our bar/restauarant crawl in Coconut Grove. What attracted us there were these red couches that you can lounge on outside right by the street. They had (fake) candles lit up so it was very romantic/intimate. They also had music in the background. The staff was very friendly. They also had a great late night menu that we ordered from. We all got a few Blue Moons and a pizza that was pretty good. Could have been a bit crispier but overall was very yummy. It was a great place for a last stop to sit and chat and enjoy the outdoors!

Rebecca C.
I absolutely loved and adored the food and location. They are central to the Grove, have such great people watching, and cute royalty chairs to sit on outside. The menu is splattered with goat cheese, Yum! I ordered the goat cheese pizza, my friend the goat cheese salad. The pizza was one of the best I've had yet and even better as leftovers. However, they lost a star for a few minor reasons: nothing on the menu was under $15, which seems high even for the Grove to me and I wish the happy hour had more, not just free champagne for ladies on Fridays. Overall, the best part of GreenStreet: they are pet friendly and vegetarian friendly.

Marty C.
Finally got around to going to Greenstreet and was not disappointed. Service was excellent food (omelets) was solid and the people watching is great. Really a perfect place for outdoor dining now that the weather is turning. Added entertainment by watching passing traffic perform the infamous stunts so typical of Miami drivers.

Adriana J.
I can get why people come here during the day--food isn't too shabby (yummy breakfast options, better than lunch in my opinion) and my favorite part: dogs are welcome. But why it's so packed at night is beyond me. Don't get me wrong--the vibe is kinda cool with its wicker chairs and loungey feel but overall? There's nothing too special about it and the cocktails are pretty mean on your wallet. Between sitting indoor and outdoor, opt for outdoor because it is nicer and again, if there's pups around, you get breakfast AND aw-factor.

Nice atmosphere. Food is average at best. Boring menu. "Jamaican" wings did not have the slightest hint of flavor. Go to LuLu for food and Green Street for drinks. It's too bad they can't walk the drinks across the street to LuLu.

**4 1/2 Stars ** Truth is- I have always wanted to hate GreenStreet. Whether it's the anti-establishment part of me that is irked by the massive amounts of people that either check-in here or present it as the Grove/Gables brunch place to see or be seen OR the reason for my deduction of 1/2 a star- the not-so-spectacular lunch/dinner menu. I have always very confidently marched right past GreenStreet each and every Sunday morning towards Calamari where I would happily enjoy their fantastic brunch buffet. Here's the thing- I diet 6 days a week and eventually the stuffing my face at Calamari on Sundays was beginning to catch up to me. So what to do?!!? I'm a brunch-loving girl and needed a new place to sit outside and enjoy my most favorite Sunday pastime where I don't gorge myself like a pig! So the next Sunday I reluctantly give my name to the hostess and was actually pleasantly surprised when the wait I was quoted was 20 min or less! Considering the crowd gathered that was a huge win. The host stand is excellently ran at GS and both this visit and subsequent visits, I have been seated quickly and always within my quoted wait time- which I very much appreciate. So now that I'm seated we will get on to the service and the food. The service is IMPECCABLE. The servers have always been incredibly attentive and accommodating to my picky palate. The food for Brunch is very good- My personal faves are the Lox Platter with a Multi-Grain bagel and either the Scrambled Eggs (sub egg-whites) with Caviar or with Lox and Onion. Yum!! Get them to replace the potatoes that come with the Scrambled eggs with Grits with American Cheese--Double YUM!!! Also bonus points for having a variety of interesting and potent Brunch beverages aside from the traditional and boring Mimosa and Bloody Mary. With that being said- if you aren't going to GS for Brunch then I would be wary as the other menus aren't bad but they are just average. You won't be in for the great experience above. So in conclusion, I am proud to say that I have very much repented from my GreenStreet Brunch hating ways into a loyal GreenStreet Groupie.

The best thing about this place is the location and their ample outdoor seating. It's quite nice to sit outside on a cool day people-watching on Main. I imagine it'd be nice to have brunch there but I've only been for lunch and drinks/apps. Their tuna tataki and flatbreads are light and flavorful, but I'd steer clear of the more fatty dishes like their truffle fries which come out soggy and dense. The service is ok- they tend to lurk around the tables but don't actually interact much with guests.

I've been a yelp member for a long time and have never felt the need to write a review until today. It dawned on me today that I've gone to way to many restaurants lately and have not been satisfied with the service I've received. Dwight was my server at greenstreet tonight and made me feel at home. So much so, that before leaving I said these exact words "Dwight, you are the best server I've had in a long time". Everyone in Miami knows greenstreet has reliably great food, but Dwight made the evening extra special. I will always request him as our server. I'm sure the rest of the servers are great as well, but this is just an experience I wanted to share because it deserved recognition. If you ever see this Dwight, thank for sharing your personal homemade snickers with us!!

Too bad your hostess is so bad, Green Street. I was out with my mom, and we were looking for a place we hadn't tried before. Green Street looked interesting. The hostess and 2 waitresses were crowded up at the podium/hostess stand. We stood. And waited. We picked up a menu and started looking at it. Meanwhile, the hostess and the 2 waitresses stood there giggling and discussing guys -- seriously, that's what they were discussing. After probably 2 minutes of looking at the menu, my mom said, "Well, we're not going to get acknowledged, let's check out the Indian place down the block." WHOA! All of a sudden the hostess is asking to seat us, how many in our party, we have room, don't go. . . I politely responded, "No thank you. . . gracias." Then, as we're walking away, I hear the hostess make a nasty dig about my responding in Spanish. No, sweetheart, it's not that I don't think you can speak English -- I don't think you can do your job and should be fired, along with the 2 cackling waitresses that are more interested in discussing their dates than doing their job. AVOID. And for the record, my Spanish is just fine.

This is my favorite restaurant in Miami... period. Maybe it is because I have been going here with my family since I was a tot and all the memories I have there. The food is delicious whether you are ordering breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Its really good! My favorite things to order there are ANY of their pancakes, watermelon lemonade, and their Ceasar salad with sliced jerked chicken. They have the BEST Ceasar salad that I've ever tried in Miami.. Its a really popular place so if you are a large group or are going during their happy hour and pretty much any meal time during the wkend.. expect a 30min-1hr wait for a table. If you can, go on a random Tuesday for any meal of the day to get a great experience..

Goat Cheese Lamb Burger. That's all you need to know. Seriously though, it's one mean burger. And will leave you craving for more. The staff at Green Street is always friendly. On weekends, the place does get busy, so prepare to wait if you come here for brunch.

one of the best places in Miami to get a lamb plate whether it's for lunch or dinner. The Lamburger w/ goat cheese is one of the best burgers Ive ever eaten, when I go for lunch that's what I usually get. For dinner, the lamb chops with brussel sprouts is a must try. For appetizer my norm is flatbread with tomato and goat cheese, my kids love it too. I go to GreenStreet Cafe often, the best waiters are Zac and Dwight, I usually ask for either or, they are both on top of their game. Best thing is especially being a Miami Heat fan is seeing Lebron James or Erik Spoelstra and the coaching staff which I have seen a couple good times in the past dining! GreenStreet Cafe is a must if your in Coconut Grove and top 5 restaurants in Miami, for quality and bang for your buck.

Great food, location, and service, cant really think of anything negative to say, would likely give this 4.5 stars, only because the food was delicious, but wasnt wow, but still a great and tasty meal! SEATING: Relaxing place to have a meal or a couple of drinks with a small group of friends. They have both outdoor or indoor seating, with either regular tables or velvet couches to sit on. The outdoor seating was nice but table was rather small, but still managed to fit all 4 of our entrees though. STAFF: The waiter was very attentive as well as helpful with recommendations. He even picked up when we mentioned it was my hubby's birthday and put in a surprise for him without us requesting it, which was super nice of him. DRINKS: My hubby has been on a quest to find a good mojito for quite sometime, and always ends up disappointed, but not here, he was really pleased with his mojito here! They also have Happy Hour twice a day, and different specials for each day (e.g., Monday, it was 1/2 off bottles of wine). APPETIZERS: We got the fried calamari which was the perfect combination of crispy but not heavy or greasy feeling. ENTREES: We each got one of the day's specials as well as a salad. The prices were a bit high, but not outrageous ($16-23), with the quality of the meals well worth the price range. We shared a goat cheese salad, which came with fried goat cheese, it was a good dish to share rather than as a single person's meal. I got the New Zealand lamb, which was very tender, well-seasoned and flavorful without being too salty, and paired well with their mashed potatoes. My husband got the NY steak, which was also very tender and flavorful but wasnt too bloody, which was perfect. Lastly, we got the lobster ravioli, which I thought was a reasonable price ($16), comparable to new england restaurants for a similar dish. It came in a creamy pink sauce that wasnt overly rich. LOCATION: The location looked really fun too, definitely want to come back again to check out all the various shops around!

I went here to eat on a Friday night with my boyfriend. We were seated right away and thankfully the weather was nice outside. As a mushroom lover, I ordered the Mushroom Triangoli and was pleasantly surprised! So delicious! My boyfriend had the Lamburger, one of his all-time favorites. What made everything perfect was our waiter, Zac. He was so funny, friendly an on top of things and made our experience that much better! We will definitely ask for him in the future.

I don't spend a lot of time in the Grove, so was glad to discover a GreenStreet with some friends. It was very nice to able to walk into a bar and get a table outside at 10PM on a Saturday night. We mostly had drinks, so I'll have to update the review after trying more menu options. We ordered in time for the dinner menu. I think they start the late night menu around 11, but time gets hazy after our veggie pizza and cocktails. As you may imagine from my previous sentence, the drinks were poured well and our server was really attentive (and friendly).

Great drinks. Great service. Our waitress , Chelsea , takes the best care of us. She always knows our order and has a smile on her face.

Good flat bread and martinis. This is as much as I remember regarding the food. What I can't forget is that when I went to the bathroom there was someone drunk in the womans restroom, and the place was a mess, I think the manager and security were trying to take him out. Maybe the martinis are too strong for some people. Overall I would love to come back, very nice environment besides the WC event

Love the inside ambiance and outside seating. Food is fine, however pretension billows throughout the place. I live in the neighborhood, if I didn't I'd skip this place, however since I'm here I have enjoyed it on rare occasions. I prefer several other grove breakfast spots alot more.

Waiting with 4 people for a table for 15 mins, got a text that my table was ready. As I approach the hostess, someone arrives with 5 peole, they give my table for that person right away because they had a 5 people table ready, then they kept me waiting for another 5 min and offered me a table in the sun or wait another 5 mins. I decided not to wait and not to come back.

The ambiance is above par, cuisine when prepared and delivered as ordered is quite delicious, service is not consistent. I have been here numerous times and have had a vastly different experience each time. Twice for brunch the server was changed mid shift which caused my party's order to be forgotten. A few times service has been exceptional and the kitchen doesn't prepare the meat the right temperature. If the balance between service and food preparation was in sync this place could be a 10.

Gayle M.
The service was really a pleasure. I made a menu observation to the waiter, which could be construed as a complaint. What impressed me was the excellent way in which this was handled by the waiter, Dwight and Manager, Sean. Absolute professionals with their first-rate customer service. They both remained calm and pleasant throughout our discussion with no defensiveness. The food was very good -- I had the smoked dolphin with mashed potatoes (potatoes were great !). Oh yes, the flatbread was a light and tasty "pizza-like" concoction; light on the cheese with caramelized onions that made it delish ! I have gone to GreenStreet for years and always pleased with service and food. Glad they're still around.

***WARNING - POSSIBLE TRIGGERS AHEAD*** Came here for lunch the other day and was scanning over the menu wondering what to get. Then I saw IT, one of the worst triggers I could ever encounter, and all of a sudden was transported back to my own personal hell. I was surrounded by a massive crowd of people tossing their hideous "boo's" and jeers and cat-calls my way. The shame was intense. The feelings, dreadful. I started shaking like a leaf (yeah, my leaves shake, that's right). My palms grew sweaty and clammy and I grasped blindly for the linen napkin. My boss looked across the table to me and said "What the hell, Ian?" I stabbed my finger toward the menu and mouthed two words: "Chicken Tetrazzini." You see, I am no stranger to the day-time tabloid talk show, and the reference brought me back to that horrible day when I was tricked by my girlfriend, my mistress, my ex-wife and my incestuous cousin (I only did that once, geez, lay off with the judgment) who all happened to be pregnant with my bastard love-children into appearing on the Laura show. I thought I was going for a job interview but was instead led onstage to an ambush. It was horrible. I was held down in a chair by two beefy Mexican-looking fellows and slapped repeatedly. Unable to physically defend myself I could only shake my head and weakly mutter "aye dios, por favor el culo." I was suddenly stirred from my miserable memories by the waiter dropping some warm bread off at our table. I looked up and stared directly into his beady eyes and with only one small quiver of my lower lip stated "I'll have the chicken tetrazzini." My friends, it was fabulous. Have you guys ever had chicken tetrazzini before? That's some good shizz.

Yay! I am a fan, that summarizes it pretty much. While hanging out in one of my favorite area in Miami (Coconut Grove), we made our way to this place for a light, middle of the day lunch; recommended by a friend. Parking is fairly easy on-street and there are a lot of outdoor seating. I had the salmon salad with was great. It is hard to give me a culinary orgasm (pardon my french) with a salad but at the same time it is very easy to make an horrible one. All green produce were fresh and organic while the salmon was also very high quality and cook to perfection. I like mine very grilled on the outside and pink/rare on the inside. This hits the spot. Add to that beautiful and trendy people walking around, friendly staff and good ambiance. That's about all the ingredients you need for a wonderful lunch.

In the memory book of my life, GreenStreet is in the chapter filled with blurry nights and alcohol. I'd never really tried this place in the daylight, and much less sampled it's food. I had always heard that brunch here was a must-try... so this Sunday, I tried it. We were a group of 5.5 (a small dog was involved) and we were seated in about 20 minutes after meeting at 12:30p - which was surprising because I heard the wait can be a pain. Ordered the standard mimosas while waiting in the big red velvet couches along the sidewalk. Brunch was banana chocolate pancakes. Go ahead and sing along to the Jack Johnson song - because that's how happy it made me. Service was great - we were never rushed, and they didn't mind splitting the check 5 ways. It was a very leisurely afternoon, in the shade but still enjoying the beautiful weather. Glad to add GreenStreet to a more grown-up chapter in my life. :)

They say pride is hard to swallow but disappointment has much more lasting and unappealing aftertaste. And that's what I got served at Green Street a big old portion of disappointment to go along with my duck salad and Mediterranean plate appetizer. I recently came for lunch but I was sadly surprised to find the menu has changed and not for the best. Some familiar favorites are gone and in their places there seems to be nothing. These changes have more than ever before cemented Green Street as a place for cocktails and mediocre food.

Greenstreet Cafe is fantastic! Four of us went last night for dinner. The service was very attentive and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the pesto ravioli, which I loved. My entire party raved about their entrees. The decor is also fabulous, they have red velvet loveseats, inside and out. I will be returning to Greenstreet Cafe as soon as possible.

I had lunch here yesterday... and dinner...as well as brunch a couple of weeks ago and the verdict is in. Don't come here unless it's for drinks, brunch or want to people watch! The food is just blah. I've never been happy with any meal other than breakfast. The banana chocolate pancakes hit the spot. The potatoes are great and eggs with jerk spice - tasty. If you decide to stop by on a weekend for brunch, don't show up hungry! Everyone in town comes here for breakfast/brunch and there's always a long wait. So put your name on the list and go for a stroll or order a Bloody Mary, sit on one of their comfy couches and sip... Slowly.

I love the location first of all. Right on a busy corner in the Grove you see all these red velvet couches and cute little lamps, it looks so inviting! I usually go for drinks but the other day I went for lunch and was actually impressed. We sat at the outside bar and I split a salad (added chicken) with my girlfriend and it filled us both up and we were quite pleased! They didn't charge for extra tomato's or extra dressing (gotta appreciate that now-a-days!) It was the Mesclun Endive Salad which has apples and ohh its just too good to pass up! I had no idea this would prove to be a good spot to dine, but now I must try it for dinner :0)

One of my favorite places to have breakfast by far! Not only is it around ten minutes from my house but they always have a table ready and I've never had to wait. Definitely try Steve's Banana Pancakes, and any of their breakfast platters with their small, yet fulfilling potatoes, and toast. The staff is always accommodating and friendly. Although the Grove is resting in peace due to the influx of Midtown and Brickell, this place is always oozing with locals and tourists. It's a big hit in my book!

I wish there was a - star. It wasn't my choice to eat at this restaurant. I want to let you all know how this place is run. I'm happy that they're all honest, but their honesty just upset me. I will never go back to Green Street on a Sunday. Actually,I may never go back. We waited for over and hour and half for Sunday brunch. The hostess walked us to our table and realized that her manager had just sat people at our table. She explains what happened. The manager gave our table away to customers that dine there often. Apparently he was instructed by the owner to seat weekly customers first. Really?? This is the worst customer service. He should have lied. It may have been better. He tried to backpedal by offering us 50% off our bill and we would have to wait for the next 6 person table. Well.. He's has lost our business and we take our party of 6 to Lulu's. There wasn't a wait, the food is amazing and the service was wonderful. Thanks to our server Christina and the servers that made sure our coffee and water was always filled to the top. GreenStreet- get a need a new manager and tell your owner how business should be done. Btw, I won't be dining at either of these restaurants again. GreenStreet and Lulu's are the same owner. Never again! I'm disgusted with the way they handle customers.

I could sit here all day...the food is always good, the drinks are always spot-on. If I'm gonna do an entree, it's gonna be their salmon salad for lunch/dinner...brunch: eggs benedict - hands down. They have mimosa options that make my heart sing - anything with St. Germain in it makes me a happy girl, so gimme a Heavenly Street at my outdoor brunch table and I'm set. I'm all about people watching, and that corner is PERFECT for it.

My approach to this place is cautious enthusiasm, riding the coat tails of an excellent location, the have capitalized by making the place unique. Lazy Sunday afternoons in glorious Miami weather are priceless and usually very enjoyable here - the locals never dissapoint providing and endless source of entertainment, just watching them is pretty amusing in itself. Green Street - please don't let your popularity go to your head - good old fashioned customer service never goes out of style no matter how "hot" you are - but sometimes we encounter the informal server who feels insecure about their chosen mean to earn a living and in turn project it to the patrons.... Wrong ! I'll keep coming and updating the reviews so... we'll see... for now - 4 stars is appropriate reward for good food, and good location, oh yeah and reasonable prices in tourist trap coconut grove.

Good brunch and happy hour, terrible everything else. Unless its Whiskey Wednesday, Vodka Thursday or FREE champagne for ladies on Fridays then I won't go. You will see the occasional athlete here (definitely belonging to the Heat franchise) but the tables are so smooshed together that you'll only catch a glimpse from afar. The service is pretty slow and the drinks are pretty pricey but go for HH and you won't be disappointed.

I've been here for breakfast before which is REALLY good but also overpriced for what it is. I went here last night for drinks for the first time which were also way overpriced. The atmosphere is really cool with the giant sofas outside and dim lighting, The only reason I gave it a 3 and not a 4 was because how much they overcharge. I guess if you went here to drink happy hour would be a must. On Wednesday Nights they have a Johnnie Walker promotion: Black $4.50 Gold $7 Green $8 Blue $16

OMG. I had such high hopes for this restaurant-- the ambiance upon arrival is fantastic- the outdoor patio and such....and I had heard the food was very good. That said, suffice it to say I experienced truly some of the worst service EVER in my life here. I second what J.D. wrote when he/she said the people working there are like zombies. Truly. Our waitress had the personality of a plate. It took probably 10 minutes to get our drink order. One person in our party had arrived before us- she is pregnant and had asked for a certain soup to be brought out ASAP because she was feeling nauseous. After we arrived, it took another 10 minutes for her soup to arrive and......drumroll please.....it was cold!!! I took the soup up to the Droids working the front desk, told them what happened and it was as if I said, "hello. the sky is blue." NO REACTION. Probably no pulse. There appeared to be a "manager" figure walking around chumming it up with all the wait-staff-- a guy in a suit who appeared to be about 25 and clearly thinking he's the Ultimate Ladies Man. He never visited our table with all the problems we had. It seriously took over 45 minutes for our food to arrive and every time we asked our Stepford Waitress a question, she looked like she was lapsing into a coma. It PAINED me to leave her a tip. What a horrible joke of a restaurant. ;-(

First time visit - disappointed with Rebecca's service. Never introduced herself. Gave someone else the meal ticket to process / four people at the table only catered to one guest at our table. great location. Going to try again with another server and see if it was just a bad day..

After so many people telling me to try Greenstreet, I finally visited. And all I can say it... It was just ok. There's nothing special about the brunch here. The food took forever, the restaurant is really crowded and uncomfortable. Just wasn't what I expected for such a popular place.

This place is def a relaxing chill spot in coconut grove. I'm really a fan of those mod cool vintage red couches outside and the seating. This place is a chill atmosphere and always a good time! I've tried a few appetizers the hummus and some others.. it's decent food... Wed nights they have whiskey nights. It's Great to come with a group of friends on a relaxing night. Also, monday nights its half off bottle of wines which is a super good deal great idea for a date!! Out of all the spots in the grove this is def one of my fav places... :)

What better way to start your Sunday than with a bubbly brunch? A low key, outdoor/indoor cafe, this popular place is the go-to spot for brunch on the weekends. Adorned with funky chandeliers, and plush velvet couches, this lovely locale is amongst my favorites for breakfast. The prices are fair, the food is great, and the ambiance is fantastic. Like "Cheers" its a type of place where everybody knows your name.

I haven't been here in years but haven't forgotten how good the food is. Took advantage that I was meeting my brother at the grove to have lunch here. I had the lamb burger and he fish with rice and beans. Both things were outstanding. My burger was very savory and juicy. My brother's fish was soft and flaky and the rice and beans were very good. There is a reason why this place a big following and is one of the few places at the grove where you not onlu find turists but locals as well.

Had dinner here on a Monday night. The environment was great. Love good outdoor dining. Had the hummus appetizer, very good considering it was just good ol' plain hummus. I had vegetable lasagna, delicious although I would have preferred less focus on the eggplant. My wife had the goat cheese pizza (and I had it again for lunch the next day) Good portions, enough for leftovers and a great place to meet up have dinner or drinks and enjoy what seems like a great little neighborhood.

Dear GreenStreet, You are the Grove staple of my life. On you, I know I can count on not to be disappointed. So when the BF said he was starving on our way home yesterday, I knew EXACTLY where I wanted to eat. The weather was absolutely beautiful yesterday and for an August afternoon there was a nice, crisp breeze. So of course, I opted to sit on one of the couches outside, facing Main Highway for the people watching. Our waitress promptly came up to us and asked us what we wanted to drink. A wine menu quickly followed and she made some great suggestions. I went with a Malbec, and the BF had a Pinot Noir. We took some time to just enjoy the wine before we even opened the menus to satisfy our grumbling stomachs. Finally, I had to order before I passed out. LOL I decided to go with the Veal Scallopinis in a Porcini mushroom sauce. At first, I was a bit taken aback, because it was not the flavor that I was expecting. I had only ever had the Veal Scallopinis at Tango's down south, and they use a Marsala sauce. So I think my palate was confused. But the more I tried it, the more delicious it became. The creamy mushroom sauce was just delectable, and the crisp, thin french fries that were served as a side were just perfect drenched in this sauce. The BF ordered the Mushroom Triangoli dish with the same Porcini mushroom sauce. They were like little blue raviolis filled with mushrooms and topped with the creamy sauce. This was very tasty as well. However, I feel like I noticed a hint of "freezer" taste to it... Maybe it was me. The BF didn't say anything. But I tasted something just slightly off... GreenStreet, you always come through. We definitely enjoyed our dinner very much and the atmosphere was just perfect. I even like your new 24 @ 24 promotion (It's 24 different bottles of wine at the price of $24/bottle). :) Great touch. Thanks for everything. Best Regards, SabrinaAnna*

I think this is becoming my new favorite brunch spot. Town is great with the $15 unlimited mimosas but the food here was outstanding. I have been before and have had the pasta which was great but this time we tried the Nutella filled French Toast which was to die for! The Grove Goddess is also delicious. There is a bit of a wait but well worth it. I love the outdoor seating and decor of the restaurant.

Pretty good to great food. Cinnabon pancakes are a must. The tomatoes and goat cheese omelet is also pretty great. And I hear the french toast is great from my sister. Good breakfast place for friends and families. Not intimate/romantic.

I've been to Greenstreet with friends, but we always hang by the bar. It was only last week that I decided to have dinner there with a friend, and I have to say nomnomnom!! Datpasta.jpg It was so good! I remember looking at the menu and seeing an unrecognizable name on the list, with the ingredients "mushroom" and "a creamy sauce" (that's what she said). That's when I stopped reading and decided to order that, and ordered some chicken with it. It was amazing! The most delicious pasta I've had in a while. (I have no idea if the fact I was starving had anything to do with this). The portions were big, so I couldn't finish the whole meal. I took half with me when i went to visit a friend, and I had to have her try some (she ate the whole thing). It was that good. P.s. I found the name of the meal it was the " Mushroom Triangoli, filled with mushrooms, creamy porcini sauce" Try it, you won't regret it. (Unless you don't like mushrooms, in which case you might regret it, but then why would you even order it if you know you don't like mushrooms? I mean seriously...)

This became our group's favorite bar at night during our weekend stay nearby. Great atmosphere, they played this music track that had such classic hits (Aerosmith, Journey, etc.), friendly waitstaff and trendy interior (such cute Victorian chairs!), not too crowded, mixed crowd. Only downside was drinks could get a bit pricey ($10/shot), but well worth price for such an enjoyable time. Highly recommend!

It's about time I updated my review, as somehow I've ended up at Greenstreet almost weekly as of late. You can't beat the outstanding outdoor seating and red velvet benches (although they could use a good scrubdown). Prices are definitely inflated ... but it's the Grove, and with this place, it's all about location. They have happy hour from 5-7, M-F, decent prices on drinks (no food on happy hour), but I've found the mixed drinks to be pretty watered down. In terms of the menu, I'm all about the salads, and they're nice enough to make them into a wrap for me from time to time. I especially recommend the fig salad - perfect mix of sweet & savory with the figs and the aged cheese. Yum! I like this place, but honestly, there's nothing particularly exceptional about it (except for their brunch - which is outstanding). The places are a little too high, and for happy hour, I'd rather do Lulu's, right across the way, since they include food for their HH. But, Greenstreet is a staple, and an extremely pleasant place to while away an afternoon or evening in the Grove. PS: They are dog friendly, LOVE it! They give you snack mix when you sit down, which, while nice, is addictive. :)

Came here for brunch and was very very satisfied. I'm not usually a breakfast/brunch person, but this place has turned me into a changed man. I got the cream cheese, spinach, chicken omlett with breakfast potatoes and it was amazing. I've never had an omlet that has made me say O-M-G, but this one did. The cream cheese went perfectly with the chicken and spinach. Loved the ambiance as we sat outside in Coconut Grove. Service was super fast and friendly. A little on the expensive side, but well worth it.

This is probably my favorite place to go in The Grove. I love the food, I love the location, and I love the memories. The last time I went was right after the King Mango Strut this past year. At first I was kinda annoyed because they were so crowded that day that they sat us next to some really loud music, but then I realized it was King Mango Strut Day and started jammin' out to the loud music instead. Eventually my ears grew accustomed to the decibels. I've been here a few times and not once have I been disappointed. The service has always been great, even when it's insanely crowded. The food has always tasted delicious, even when I ordered plain pasta with nothing on it on my anniversary dinner because I had to get surgery a couple of days after. Weird, but true! My favorite thing to order here is the Pear and Endive salad with bleu cheese and walnuts- very refreshing! I feel ashamed because I keep hearing about how awesome their breakfast food is, yet I have never ordered it. I promise I will one day! Five stars for Green Street!

Went for brunch on a Sunday with a group of six. It took quite a wait to be seated because it was full to capacity. The wait was worth it because you can order from the bar and stand to view the relaxed atmosphere of the Grove. The food was great, our waiter named Randy provided us with excellent service. Two of us kept taking pictures and the entire event was fun. My sister invited me as an extended birthday celebration and I am very grateful that she did. The company, conversation, and ambiance was very much to my liking.

We drove all the way down from Miami Shores to check this place out for breakfast. What a DISAPPOINTMENT! I ordered scrambled eggs with salsa. Well, the salsa came from a jar, the eggs from a carton...YUCH! I expect such a place to serve shell eggs and not be lazy and make salsa from SCRATCH....how many ingredients are there in Salsa, three or four only? Come on...!

Great spot to sit outside and people watch. They've got a bunch of outdoor seating, they serve brunch too, I've never been for dinner but I have been there in the evening for drinks. Odd thing is, they're right next door to Senor Frogs(very lame) and the awnings that hang over Green Street say Senor Frogs on them. So, if you don't know, you think it's all Senor Frogs. They must fix that. The manager proudly parks his/her vintage Vespa Sprint right outside the place on the corner of Commodore Plz and Main Hwy. Very cool. Big props for that!

Greenstreet has been a staple in the Coconut Grove for years. I was first introduced to this place a few years back while training for a run with my running group, who would rewarded themselves to Sunday brunch after a long run. The people in the group told me that they knew the chef, who was french, and that everything there was really good. So, I accepted the invitation still sweaty and tired from my morning run. It turned out that I wasn't the only one. On Sundays it is common to see people gathering for brunch after there morning workouts. The droves of bikers and runners venture out to this spot especially the people who have raced that day, and not to mention the walkers who also join in with their dogs. This spot has a great friendly environment and to be outside enjoying the day relaxing with a nice cup of coffee or a mimosa is a great end to my week. After that first day, I have been back, once for dinner, once for lunch, and once for drinks at night. I really have to stress that the food isn't phenomenal any other time than breakfast. I feel like the menu has a typical Italian cuisine with the typical meat entrees that every other restaurant offers in Miami. Drinks at happy hour or for a stop off before the clubs on the weekend is a better choice is your not going for brunch. Thursdays is college night and the rest of the weekend it seems to always be a good spot to chill and have a cocktail with some friends. The wait in the comfy sofa chairs and benches outside is a plus too. They at least make your wait enjoyable because sometimes on a Sunday when the wait can be over an hour, you need a good seat. So, go around lunchtime, get a mimosa or bellini at the bar and relax to take in the scene in at the Grove. The inside dining room is also interesting option, if the day is not the best weather to sit outside (which is where I prefer to sit), the non conventional seats and tables inside provide an interesting feel. It almost reminds me of a library, with the dark wood and the plush chairs. The service is always great. I have eaten there so many times and tried everything with no disappointments. I usually stick to any of the egg omelets or the banana pancakes. The apple turkey sausage is another item on the menu that I add to my brunch which is also a good addition. Of all the places that have come and go over the years in the Grove, this place has always stayed packed and in business. For me, it is one of the best places to have brunch on a Sunday in Miami.

Came here for brunch this morning with my best friends and it was amazing. The weather was close to perfect, so we decided to sit outside and enjoy it. I ordered a mimosa and the two egg meal, that comes with potatoes and toast. To top everything off, we decided to share their banana/chocolate chip pancakes. All the food was great, the atmosphere was awesome and the service was just as good. After brunch, we continued to take advantage of the weather and decided to check out some of the boutiques in the area. Definitely planning to come here again for brunch. You can park in either the pay-to-park street parking or in one of the many lots in the Grove. This place gets really packed, so plan to wait a bit for a table. However, there are great couches outside where you can lounge and have a cocktail.

A Grove staple, this place has probably the BEST brunch around. I love Green Street because everything is good. Food, drinks, atmosphere, service - it's got it all. You want a delicious place to enjoy a fresh lunch? Green Street. Looking for spot to meet up with the girls for a late night drink? Green Street. Need to take your in-laws to brunch? Green Street. Green Street has both indoor and outdoor seating. Tables provide you the sit-down feel, whereas comfy couches give you a spot to grab a casual drink. The outdoor bar is the perfect spot to grab a mimosa while you wait for your table. If you prefer to sit inside, you'll enjoy quirky decor, including a room full of books and throne-like chairs. To be honest, I've only had a few things on their menu, but that's not because it's limiting - it's just that their french toast is the only thing I need to make me happy! The best I've found in Miami! But my friends all swear by their omelets! And their potatoes are a fantastic and flavorful side that pairs with almost every dish. The bartenders know how to make a cocktail - everything is good! And their iced cappuccinos are not a bad way to cool down on a warm Miami day!

Coconut grove is a surprisingly quaint and economical place to enjoy dinner. It was wonderful to eat outside in January. Our server did a nice job of checking in with our table. I ordered the salmon with penne in a vodka Creme sauce. It was wonderful. I had expected a salmon filet with a side of penne, but instead my salmon was shredded and mixed in with the sauce. Everything was piping hot and my portion was so large I only are half. It was great! Only negative, my friend tried the classic burger and said it was nothing to rave about. The bun was a bit hard on the outside. Overall, my food was great and I would definitely go back!

Shannon S.
Great restaurant! Great food, service, drinks, music, atmosphere! Awesome furniture to relax & chat w/friends. Big TVs for hanging to watch sports. All menus offer a variety. A MUST!!!
This is my favorite place for Sunday brunch in all of Miami. This is one of those spots that you always go back to because you want to try everything on the menu. Thats probably why most of the people that you find there are locals. Top picks: The smoothies (both mango and berry) are awesome, the chocolate french toast is insanely good, and the banana with chocolate chip pancakes are a must. Oh yea, the omelette's are pretty good too!

I was going to be in Miami for 2 days and heard that Joe's Stone Crab was the one place I had to check out, especially if I could eat on company money. Well, shortly after we landed, my coworker and I checked into our hotels and made a bee-line for Joe's. To our dismay, they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, which is the only two days we would be there... Since he had been to Miami before and this was my first time, he suggested that we check out Coconut Grove for some other eats. After getting a little bit lost, mainly because I left my GPS in my room, we found parking in a small $6 lot next to GreenStreet. We hung out there another good 5 minutes admiring the dark gray Aston Martin Vantage that we parked next to. In short, GreenStreet didn't have the crab legs we were craving, but it had a tasty-looking menu and very nice atmosphere. We initially sat outside but requested to move inside when the mosquitoes found me. The decor is very interesting and not what you would expect - dark red velvet seats and strange figurines all over the ceiling. What we ordered: * Warm goat cheese salad - split this between 2 of us as appetizer. first time I've ever had fried goat cheese and the salad dressing was a perfect complement. * Salmon with fennel sauce - fresh and a good size. slightly too dry around the outside where they blackened a very pretty grill pattern. * [some fish I can't remember] and lemon butter - this was their special for the day and I was offered to try a bite off my coworker's plate. wow I have never had anything lemony-er...the sauce is clearly made with some lemon concentrate or something because it was more sour than sucking on a fresh lemon. no idea how he ate all of it without getting sick.

Eeh. I know that most people come here at night for drinks, and the location and ambiance is great, but I went here for breakfast, and it was only okay. I am a breakfast food person. You know, the kind that orders off of Denny's breakfast menu all day long. The food was mediocre; IHOP does better pancakes. When I go out, I want to eat something I can't do at home, or I want it done better. Next time, I'd stay home.

Green Street is the only reason that I still go to the Grove. I love the fact that it has indoor seating (for the extremely hot days) and outdoor seating for a nice open air dining experience with plenty of people watching. All of the brunch items here are pretty good. My favorites are the pancakes, eggs benedict, and my most recent discovery which is the goat cheese and spinach omelette. The service here is pretty good and the ambiance is great. I've also come for lunch and liked it as well. I had the blackened dolphin wrap. It was very tasty and fresh. Green Street also tends to get full on some weeknights but I've kind of outgrown the crowd. It's comprised of a lot of college/UM students and the guys who can't seem to shake the college mentality.

Julie J.
I always end up finishing the night with my friends at this lounge. We always have a great time. We always get our favorite server Stephanie which makes the ambiance of the night even better. The drinks are great and my favorite which I highly recommend is the Mojito. The music is hip and its also great for people watching. They also have great specials on scotches on Wednesday which they call Whiskey Wednesday. This place is great for groups and even for a nice romantic night out. I definitely recommended this restaurant as a lounge.

Juan S.
Things seem to be changing here..and not for the better... (breakfast review) There are many great things about this place, namely the location and outside dining. Service is usually very friendly and the food is good; however, the portions seem to have shrunk and the quality isn't as good as I remember. Also, prices have increased. The outside tables could use an update as well. Things are looking a little dated here, especially compared to it's newer younger sister, lulu across the street. Will return but might think about checking another option instead next time.

Splitting a bottle of wine and picking at the Mediterranean Platter with big sunglasses and sundresses kind of reminded me of my days at University of Miami where I was carefree with money and a little bit of a spoiled snob on Daddy's dime. However, um, those days are over now. Thank god I wasn't picking up the tab because these days, I'm envious of how much money the busboy is making. I'm only half kidding. Good solid times, good food, good wine, good company, as always.

Green Street Cafe is a place to go to be seen and for drinks. While Green Street Cafe is always packed and full of people, the surrounding restaurants like Lulu were dead on a Tuesday night. It's a little supply and demand, and Green Street is always in demand. I suppose that's why I keep going, feels like a good night out. Went there for dinner and had the veggie lasagna, it was good, but never went past the wow factor. I have eaten there before and it has been most of the same.This restaurant has made themselves a Coconut Grove staple, while in reality not providing quality food.

This is a solid brunch place - a treat to spend some lazy late-morning girl time. If there's a wait, you can lounge on the cushy couches outside and grab any of their tasty drinks (Watermelon lemonade, frozen cappuccino, etc). The service is decent, as is the food. We had the cheese & mushroom omelet, bagel with everything, banana pancakes, and eggs to order. The pancakes were pretty fabulous, but the waitress asked if we wanted "Real Maple Syrup." Looking puzzled, she informed us that the default for the pancakes is artificially-flavored sugar syrup. Not cool Green Street. Not cool. The eggs & omelet were fine, but the potatoes stunk. Breakfast potatoes are one of my favorite things, but I left over half of these behind. Would I go back? Yes. But I'd try the grits instead of the potatoes as a side.

Elena I.
I loooooove this place! Very reasonably priced and their Eggs Benedict are truly the best I have ever had. If you order Steve's pancakes, make sure to tell them to add some chocolate chips as they really, really add that extra little something to the flapjacks. Oh, and their veggie omelet is also the best I've had. Dinner is great too. Great selection and large variety. I believe Monday nights you get 1/2 off wine bottles and I am always up for that!

Ambiance: Outdoors; busy in groups Food: Good Drinks: Didn't drink; full bar available We decided to go see a movie in the nearby Paragon Theater and have dinner near by. GreenStreet provides a street corner, outdoor ambience allows for smokers (cigarette and cigar) to be able to eat and drink. I am very anti-smoking, but thankfully the outdoor environment allows for clear air when the wind blows. The bar area is wooden with tall comfortable stools. The area is lightly lit with a wide variety of liquor selection. They run a special of free house champagne for ladies during the their first happy hour. They have a second happy hour from 11:30 pm to close (with last call at 3:00 am). As a scotch drinker, their prices are reasonable and they have a "basic" selection. I ordered the Blackend Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi) which was a good portion size and very filling . Bottom Line: Recommended

Went to Green Street with my boss after work to talk and hang out, and to use his groupon that was about to expire... we got there right during shift change so by the time we actually got someone to take our order 3 people had been to the table saying they were going to be right with us. Our order consisted of salsa, & hummus and two drinks I want to give green street more stars but i can't reach into my pocket and give out a 4 for stuff i can make at home. granted some might say well look at what you ordered, simple stuff, to which i would say hey if its on the menu it better be something better than what i can do myself otherwise why is it on the menu? Everything was ok. I would go back again, but this time i would sit inside, or at least away from the corner outdoor seating and order something that maybe i wouldn't make at home to really get a feel for this place

Although me and my friends always try to go to new places, somehow we always ended up spending our weekends here. Great place to seat have some drinks and catch up with friends and family.Their fries and burger are pretty good also I would've loved to give this place 5 stars by sometimes the male waiters tend to forget you exists, so be patient. Anyhow i love this place is cute, great location and you are always gonna have a great time.

Alex S.
My girlfriend loves GreenStreet and I think a lot of women do for that matter, but I just don't get it. It's pricy, the food's pretty good, but not worth it. The drinks are expensive, and the tables are cracked or chipped, they are too close together, and the floor inside is uneven. The bathrooms are cramped, and it just doesn't look nice enough to justify the price. If you are a lady, read the ladies' reviews, I'm sure they're great. But as a man, I can find a much better place to hang out in the grove just a stone's throw away. I will say, the service has been pretty good every time I've been, and they do drink specials that make it worthwhile on occasion.

Lots of good times and good memories come from Greenstreet. When I first moved to Miami in 2002 I landed in the Grove, stranger in a strange land. Greenstreet was a place I could go and read a book and not feel like a lonely loser. Then when I made friends and starting going out socially, Greenstreet was one of the stops on our bar-hop. Seven years later you can catch me there most Friday evenings having free champagne (ladies only!) from 5-8. The food is good too. And breakfast on the weekends is so awesome it's almost impossible to get a table. I love the bolognese and the cheese plate! One creepy thing I learned whilst a Grove native (and confirmed by a bartendar on staff) is that the owner has closed-circuit camera's running from the restaurant/bar directly into his home. But I guess that's just "quality control."

We have to give this 5 stars because for the little that we ate, it was awesome. Fresh outside seating even in August!!! Warm fresh rye rolls, just out of the oven. Goat cheese tomato pizza that my wife and I shared. I can't say anything bad about the pizza, thin crust, warm, easy to knife and fork or just fold. Fresh ground pepper and cheese offered for pizza. Not greasy. For this I award 5 stars because the little we asked for was served excellently. Service was impeccable...very friendly staff.

A Coconut Grove staple, this quaint corner restaurant is one of my all time favorites. Not only are their red plush outdoor couches fun to sit in, but their food is amazing! My personal favorite is the Mediterranean platter for dinner and their goat cheese and tomato omelet for brunch. I have dreams about that omelet! If you get seated right away, the service is usually fast and you get to enjoy a beautiful meal on an active sidewalk corner. The perfect start or end to any day!

I can't believe I've never written a review on this famed Miami spot. Greenstreet cafe is definitely a place for locals to gather on either Whiskey Wednesdays or ladies night on Thursdays. If you plan on meeting up with friends and lounging out, I recommend coming here and hanging out by the infamous red sofas. Besides having great drink specials, the food is decent and their brunch seems to be the talk of town. The service is usually good, unless you piss off one of the waitresses on hand. It gets really busy on Wednesday and Thursday nights as well as Saturday and Sunday mornings. Greenstreet Cafe is one of those places that you know you can come to and just have a fun night.

After a three year hiatus from GS, I came here for an early Mother's Day dinner so my husband could try it out. I didn't remember much about it since it had been so long, but I did remember leaving with a less than stellar impression after an average brunch experience. Luckily, Green Street redeemed itself with great service and much more palatable food! We started off with some hummus and pita bread, which was plentiful and satisfying. As an entree, I had the Shrimp Pasta - to DIE for (could've done with a little more shrimp, though)! My husband opted for (surprise, surprise), their cheesburger which he devoured with no complaints. And as an added bonus, we got a free dessert just for checking in on Yelp! The waiter suggested the Tiramisu, and by this time I couldn't even tell you how good it was because I was just so ridiculously stuffed and content. So yeah, if you haven't made an inference by now, I'll just spell it out for you - t r y t h i s p l a c e o u t! Happy eating!

Probably a fun spot at night for drinks but I would say don't go for a meal. My cheeseburger came served with a surprising little slice of wax paper deftly hidden between patty and cheese. That means A: they use frozen burgers or gross processed, packaged cheese B: the cooks are not paying any attention to anything. And C: they are trying to get you to choke to death. Unapologetic waitress added insult to injury.

I've been living in Miami way too long to actually never come here. The day was gorgeous yesterday so we decided to take the girls (aka, our two yorkies) out for brunch and since GreenStreet has outdoor seating and allows dogs, off we went. The wait when we got there was about 45 minutes, which was okay-- They have a bunch of old-fashioned couches lined up the street where you can sit and wait. We waited maybe 20 minutes--- their service is very quick so people finished eating rather fast. The one thing I didn't like was that the tables are pretty close together and there were way too many big dogs, so I had to watch mine more than I normally would- not that this is Greenstreet's fault-- but I want other owners of smaller dogs to be aware. The food came out very fast. We literally sat down and were out in 30 mins tops. The manager was standing by us, giving orders to the hostesses and busboys via radio... While it was annoying to hear him, it was clear that he had the place in check, which was demonstrated in their quick service. I also found the bill to be pretty cheap, at $27 for 2. I will probably be back to GreenStreet to try their pancakes or french toast which I didn't get to-- but next time I will definitely leave the pups at home.

Let me start off by telling you that the french toast at this place is deeeeelicious!!!!!! And if you like chocolate then the chocolate french toast is for you. I staying in miami with my sister for a couple days and this place was right outside of her building and i got breakfast from here two days in a row. It might be a bit pricey but it is def worth going.

Classic Coconut Grove institution. Food is ok and the service can be slow at times but this place to me is the real Miami. If you're a true native, you're here all of the time. Great spot to watch the games. Brings back so many great memories of hell raising in my youth.

I haven't been here for a while, but had a "power breakfast" at Greenstreet's last week. Normally I don't do power breakfasts, but it was a nice day and we had a table outside. This is a great breakfast and weekend brunch spot as you can do some serious people watching. My friend had the french toast and it was a very generous portion - even he couldn't finish it. The food is good, the service is good and the ambiance is classic Grove. What's not to like??

I've been punched in the face twice in my life. One was when I bet a midget he couldn't do it (I'm 6'3"), and the other was the great punch I felt when I had some pancakes at GreenStreet Cafe. They were banana pancakes. They were so delicious. It's a little strange that I had to ask for "real" maple syrup though. A condiment like that should be standard fare at any place that prides itself in breakfast and doesn't rhyme with Jenny's. I made a joke to the waitress about how "Steve's banana pancakes" take on a whole new meaning if you add a strategically placed pause. She laughed, and even though I noted it was forced laughter at my borderline sexual harassment, I appreciate that sort of go-getter attitude for a bigger tip. The pancakes tasted like world peace and legalized prostitution. The syrup, on the other hand, tasted like violence and mortgage fraud. I wasn't aware that I had to special-order the maple syrup until after I had the taste of assets and liabilities in my mouth. The palatableness of the pancakes evened things out though, so I was still able to enjoy things. I pointed out the riotous zing of high-fructose corn syrup to the waitress and she was willing to bring out a whole new batch of pancakes with maple syrup and not charge me for the syrup. I declined because I was in a hurry to be late for work for the third time that week, but I welcomed the effort. At night the place takes on a whole new atmosphere. I always think to myself, "if I want to see someone with a popped collar and a visor, GreenStreet is the place to go." I'm never let down. There's no single place on earth where you'll find more IDs with the names Chad, Rusty, Hunter, Tucker, Chase, Todd, Logan, Grayson, Ian, Dean, and Casey. The only exception being a John Mayer concert. Or a frat party. If I remember correctly though, you'll find 2-for-1 specials on beers after 11, so that's cool. I've only munched on nachos at night in that spot. They serve Guinness, so you know the bar is good. Guinness can make anything special. It's like glitter. If you have a packet of glitter there's nothing you can't fix. Does your niece have an art project due in her kindergarten class tomorrow morning? Glitter. Is the party not lively enough? Glitter. Did someone poop in the wall urinal again? Glitter. Is Mariah Carey's career stagnating? Glitter: The film. The possibilities are endless indeed. If you've got time in the morning for breakfast that isn't in a cardboard box with a navy man who hasn't been promoted to rear admiral in over 46 fucking years, give GreenStreet a shot. PEOPLE WHO WOULD ENJOY IT: Pancake lovers; breakfast lovers in general; all of UM. PEOPLE WHO WOULD NOT ENJOY IT: All of FIU.

LOVE coming here for drinks at night! The couches, the music, the vibe....I love it! Definitely recommend it for a date night or night out with friends. Now, the food here....eh...I'm not too much of a fan of it to be honest with you. I think its just okay and i find it to be slightly overrated. I find the breakfast to be too expensive for what it is and the mimosas are WAY overpriced, IMO. The last few times I've eaten here I've been left wanting more.....so now I just come here to drink...and that's fine by me...liquid diets rock!

I absolutely LOVE this place! We have Sunday brunch here every Sunday. We love Amy and Emily at the bar. They always greet you with a smile and great service. The managers are also always very pleasant and come say hello and make sure everything is ok. I decided to go for lunch since I have never really been there except for brunch. The food was amazing. I started with a cup of the zuchini/basil soup which was so delicious. I learned that they don't use cream but chicken stock so it's low fat (bonus!) For an entree I had the fig salad and substituted the cheese with goat cheese. Probably one of the best salads I have had. Only down side is that it didn't come with a protein like chicken or fish, but you can easily add that. For dessert, I highly recommend the tres leches...HMMMMMMM! I left very happy and with a full tummy! :)

One of the few places in Miami open for breakfast! It was packed! The breakfast has great options and everything was great and large portions. Lots of inside outside seating. Haven't been there for other meals...so can only comment on the breakfast! And I will definitely return!

I didn't want to like this place. I was secretly hoping it wasn't that good so I could throw it in friend's faces when they talked about it. I was wrong, at least about breakfast. Came here on a Sunday morning with the Big Girl and we were not disappointed. I ordered an omelet with bacon & goat cheese. BG got the pancakes. Both items were spectacular, The service was on point and always eager to help in any way possible. I cannot wait to try their lunch/dinner menu. I will then update the review. My only knock was that they offer free Wi-Fi but it was not working at the time. These things do happen, so I can let it slide.

Despite gorging on Christmas Eve, Christmas morning found me hungry and searching for breakfast. GreenStreet was its usual buzzing self. I was torn between two and three stars for the following reasons: Our server was excellent, he picked up our table when we were literally left abandoned in the middle of the dining room with no one to help us. The mimosas were great, juice with no pulp and there was no cheap Brut to be tasted! Steve's Banana pancakes! Served just a little bit warmer, would have been perfection! As far as the two star stuff, it goes a little something like this: 3 egg dishes not cooked to order and all of which that came out cold. When we approached the runner about it, she was quite snappish so we cut our losses and sucked it up. Needless to say, I'm still in search of my "go to" breakfast spot.

During the day, it's a nice relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy your lunch during a perfect day at a perfect corner. At night, it's the same except it's night time (and it's dinner, not lunch, and it's wine/beer/liquor, not iced tea). Wow, I'm a genius. I could have said that in much simpler terms. What I'm trying to say here is that this is a great place no matter what time! One thing though, if you're going at night, don't say "I'll go for a bit" because you'd be lying. If you're with good company, you won't notice the time go by because there's nothing better than sitting outside on a COUCH! P.S. What's up with the scooter that's always outside? Anyone know?!

GreenStreet is a great place for 2 completely seperate and unique purposes: "see and be seen" brunches any day of the week, and nighttime cocktails. I'll go in chronological order, since it make the most sense... Brunch: it's often hard to find a place that serves a good brunch Monday-Saturday (and Sunday too), but GreenStreet totally fits the bill. They offer a variety of things to order...from the sweet pancakes, to savory omelletes. My personal fav is the scrambled eggs with jerk spices, and a side of fruit. It's the perfect combination of spicey, savory and sweet! Drinks: lounge on fancy, yet comfy sofas lining the front of the restaurant with a refreshing cocktail in hand and chat it up with local social butterflies. It has the feeling of an upscale lounge, but with no cover or bouncer to annoy you.

Overpriced but pretty tasty breakfast. The french toast is thick and yummy! The half order is enough to fill you up. I also opted for the fried potatoes as a side and glad I did. They have a decent coffee/fu fu coffee drink selection. I bought a take-out salad from here once, it was good but way overpriced. This place can get busy at breakfast time and there is usually a bit of a wait. It has nice outdoor seating with plenty of available people watching. The inside is sort of odd. The decor and vibe is a little strange, I prefer to sit outside. Overall a cute place and if it keeps the Grove alive I'll keep supporting it. Definitely go here for breakfast or brunch.

I've been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner on different occasions. This place is a great place to come and chill with friends, and grab a bite to eat or a drink. Every time I have been here, the staff is great and very attentive, the quality of the food is pretty good and the prices really aren't that bad compared to other places in the area and compared to what you get in Miami.

5 stars all the way thanks to the incredible service from Giulian on 3/25/12. I have been a regular at GreenStreet for years and wasn't too fond of a late lunch-early dinner experience a few years ago. I have continued going and I have been extremely pleased everytime. I am glad I gave this restaurant a chance again after that negative experience years ago. Giulian was a great server, so much so that I just had to write a review. Their quality of food and service has been consistent the last couple of years, just like what I used to experience when I first started visiting this establishment. Thanks, Giulian!

Next to South Beach, Coconut Grove is the place to be in Miami. Unfortunately, that means the restaurant scene is littered with tourist-traps. As such, my expectations were low when I stopped here for a late lunch. This place has good sidewalk appeal, featuring indoor/outdoor dining in a lively area. To my surprise, I found it to have good food, fast service and reasonable prices as well.

Awesome food. Great outdoor atmosphere. I had the lamb chops. Super tender and tasty. Not the biggest chops but they give you 4 of them so it's plenty of food. Get the mash potatoes. They are super tasty as well.

We ate at the GreenStreet Cafe a few weeks ago during a trip to Miami. After reading the many positive reviews on Yelp I decided we should go here for breakfast. We were seated outside on a very pleasant December day and promptly greeted by our server. My wife and I ordered two eggs over easy with hash browns, bacon and toast. I also had an orange juice. The food arrived quickly and was served hot. With hungry appetites we dug in and the food was great. Our eggs were well cooked, the bacon was delicious, and the toast was good too. Their orange juice tasted fresh squeezed, which is always a plus, and was excellent. If I had to find some thing to complain about I would say the eggs were not particularly season. I had to salt and pepper them quite a lot before they started tasting good to me. But at least they were well cooked. The staff kept an eye on us throughout our meal and was quick to bring us anything additional we needed and kept our drinks filled. I wish there were more places like GreenStreet Cafe in my neighborhood, this cafe was superb.

I did not put in my comments yet? What? The Green Man must comment on Green Street... The name says it all, or does it. Never really could figure this one out, since it sits in the corner of Main and Commodore Plaza... The food is Mediterranean and has items like hummus, fig leaves and olives as starters; then moves into listings like chicken pasta and salmon salad for main dishes. All good. The best times to come are early on the weekend for breakfast. I note early, because it does get full, very full. Fresh juice, coffee and basic selection of eggs, anyway you can imagine them. Items are served to order and accompanied by house potatoes. I also like the lox here, as well as my favorite, Eggs benedict. The other best time must be happy hour. Once the 3 o'clock hour has passed, they are pulling out the dark red velvet couches and lounges and transform the sidewalk into a true happy place. People watching gets really close up. The bar behind, facing Main, is now open as well and the perfect late lunch or early evening can proceed. Along Commodore there are tables lining the sidewalk for great outdoor seating. Even during light sprinkles, this area stays pretty dry. There are a bar and more tables inside, I have never seen. Greenstreet is the place to sit outside, enjoy good food and drink and take in the full flavor of the Grove. Lookout for happy hours and other specials.

Great Breakfast place. We arrived around 9am and the place was swarming with people our hostess was great and accommodating with our group of six. We didn't have to wait much for a table. We sat inside. The inside area if very eclectic with a library and big red comfy chairs. I have to agree with everyone that steve's pancake and the chocolate french toast were delicious. Our waitress Carolina was great. Wonderful to go before your outing in the grove.

I love this place!!! I've been coming here for years and used to come Monday nights a long, long time ago when they had 1/2 price bottles of wine. Food is still fantastic, service is good and the outside seating area is great for people watching. My favorite is the blackened mahi with garlic mashed potatoes. Never had to wait for a table and have always had a blast with my husband or group of friends. I've never come for brunch, but will one day when I get up early enough to get there. The only star I would take away is for their abbreviated wine list. They used to have much more variety and now they do not. Definitely a must if you are in the area and want a delicious meal.

I'd come here again more for the ambiance than the food. I like the brunch atmosphere on a busy street corner where you can people watch. (Happy, ambulatory young people, unlike the 85+ population wheeled around with O2 tanks here in Boca). We got here around 2:15 and waited about 5 min on the plush red sofas outside before getting seated. Shared the chocolate french toast, eggs benedict, and zucchini soup. eggs benedict was meh. french toast was good but the blobs of nutella inside were too thick. Server was super friendly and portions were huge (half portion was more than enough for two, and i can eat a LOT for a tiny person). Zuccini soup was pureed, which was unexpected. Tasted more like creamed cauliflower.

I'm surprised nobody has reviewed this place yet. Green Street Cafe has a reputation in Miami for serving hearty and healthy fare - hence the word "Green" in its name! It is a site of many "green" organizations' meetings (probably also because it's in the greenest part of Miami - the Grove). Additionally there was an "art" market going on when I was there on Sunday - I'm not sure yet if it happens every Sundays. I met a friendly artist by the entrance who was painting on wood canvas. He hails from Las Vegas and calls Miami his second home. Anyways, enough of the greenery - I came here for last Sunday brunch because I've heard from several folks that it was better than Deli Lane. And my verdict? It's neck to neck, with everything at Green Street Cafe being a dollar and few cents more. I had the Nova Benedict, which is similar to the salmon benedict at Deli Lane. It was good, but for the benedict itself, I would rather go with Deli Lane - even though Green Street's benedict was much bigger and heavier. But it was the flavor of the salmon benedict at Deli Lane that won me over - with spinach, not so heavy on the sauce, etc. However, the sides of the potatoes that came with the benedicts - Green Street's proved to be better. What about the other selections? Their menu is big and other plates that went by my table looked good. While I would continue to go to Deli Lane for the benedict, I definitely would come back to Green Street Cafe for brunch to sample out the other goods! The service was slow though, but when other staff members noticed, they tried to accommodate us despite their busy schedule - so I know bad service is not an acceptable standard at this restaurant. And kudos to the friendly hostess that knows how to sign! Note: there's a city-owned parking lot around the corner of this place so don't fret about finding parking (even though it isn't free).

I have been here for lunch a handful of times and I wish the food is as good as the atmosphere. Yes the outdoor seating is great and the red couches are plush and comfy, but the food doesn't match it. The one good thing on the menu are the jalapeno poppers. They have a good combo of sweet and spicy going on. The guac is outright bland and tasteless. The penne tetrazzinni is the same; the pink sauce needs a lot more zest. I tried their famous mojito and I don't know why it's famous.

I've always had mixed feelings about GreenStreet; I wouldn't suggest the place but I don't mind going there. The turkey panini is great for lunch, enough to share between 2 people because it comes with a big side dish. The brunches a good but doesn't seem to have enough selections. However, $14 for a turkey sandwich is a bit pricey, maybe that's why I'm ambivalent about this place.

Green Street is one of those places that have great curb appeal and great food to back it up. You'll be impressed by the outdoor decore, which is comfy for people watching and eating.

greenstreet is one of the best go-to places in all of miami! the indoor area is nice but outdoor seating is what its all about. the bar area is great with nice plush red couches and tv (for sports fans). its full at all hours, brunch, lunch, dinner, late night drinks, and somehow there is never a long wait, dont know how they do it. i almost always bump into someone i know here... since its so popular. ive been going here for years and it never gets old. the burgers and hummus are awesome. but the pasta and salads are also reallly good. i also really enjoy the zucchini soup. breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and they do it well!! the prices are reasonable for the serving size and quality of food. basically you cant go wrong.

Dear Green Street, God i love your breakfast menu! The goat cheese and tomatoe omelette is decadent and delicious. My BF always has an egg white feta and spinach omelette and always cleans his plate! Lunch and dinner menus are just as good. The salads are enormous and great. All dressings are made in house, i love that! The pizza is awesome as is peppercorn steak. The service has recently taken a dive, i hate to say. As a a regular of over 5 years now, i have noticed. Which surprises me since i know what a psycho Silvano can be. Get it together and i will bring you the full 5 starts you are capable of earning. Love, M

For me, this place is fresh alternative to my normal Brickell and SoBe Brunch locations. It offers the same things as my normal stand-bys -- mimosas, late breakfast, outdoor seating, people watching and retail shops close by for that post-mimosa-buzz-induced shopping spree. While there appears to be many folks waiting to be seated -- even before noon -- we only had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated outside. I like that they offer different kinds of pancakes and waffles including, whole wheat. They also offer different kinds of eggs. Not too many places offer scrambled eggs with different kinds of cheeses. I made the mistake of ordering the scrambled eggs with goat cheese. It just didn't work. It wasn't Green Street's fault -- it is just NOT a good combination (and I still cringe thinking about it). I love how they accomodated our request for a bottle a champagne with a side of orange juice (great way to save $ on mimosas -- make 'em yourself). Overall -- a nice change of pace from South Beach and Brickell -- good service -- but nothing on the menu that causes me to day dream.

was looking forward to trying this breakfast spot being new to miami... ordered the pancakes and was very disappointed that with the pancakes they serve Smuckers breakfast syrup.... which when you read the ingredients is corn syrup , high fructose corn syrup..... i expect that at a Dennys or McDonalds... and with coffee... non dairy creamer....... expected better quality.......

Went last night for an early dinner with friends and it was just ok. We had the calamari appetizer, greek salad, Penne Tetrazzini and Penne Bolognese. My Greek salad was nothing special, My one friend had to put salt on her Tetrazzini and her husband cleaned the plate of his bolognese. They do have happy hour twice a day, every day at 5-7 and 11-12 or 1. The mojitos were decent but overall there menu and food wasnt really exciting. Probably would not go out of my way to eat there again.

I love Greenstreet. Great food and location. I have been going there with friends and family for years. But I have to say, after eating there tonight and getting up charged $2.50 for adding cheese and $1.50 to add nuts - all this to a $15 salad (now $19), I think they have become too expensive. Sorry Greenstreet, but you lost a star and I think my visits will become less frequent. I hope you consider making your food more affordable!

Don't understand how other restaurants fail, yet this place continues. My husband owned a restaurant for 20 years and still scratches his head over this place. Last time we went was for breakfast. Seriously, scrambled eggs with potato cubes and bland toast, with a tasteless cup of coffee. The absolute worst part of this experience is the noise from the trucks coming down Commodore Plaza to make their morning deliveries. Not only can you not carry on a conversation (had to ask the waitress to hold on until the idling truck moved on), but you're breathing in diesel fumes with every mouthful. Diesel and eggs is not my idea of a good morning meal. Forget about the pigeons or the gross brick sidewalk that can't be pressure-washed since the sidewalk is really the only place to eat (unless you want to eat in the crypt). Service is fine, but I always think the waitstaff has alterior motives for working there (like maybe finding a lead to a better job?)

Great place for breakfast, as long as you have time to wait as there is often a line. French toast is the dish to get, and just a half order is plenty unless you are absolutely starving. Iv'e had it many times and it is always good, fluffy and substantial at the same time. So be prepared for a wait if it's on the weekend, and avoid the dinner menu (as others have said it's not bad, just over priced and nothing special). Outside is a fun place to people watch and the inside in interesting also, with creepy little figures adorning the walls/ceiling -anyone remember the 80's horror movie The Gate? Picture those creepy little demons things and you get the idea.

A Grove classic on the corner with sidewalk couches and coffee tables to better watch the passers by. The menu is nothing to jump up and down about, but the food is good (except for the lamb burger, baaad, can't recommend it except maybe for your doggies - they do allow pets). All in all, a solid choice for brunch or evening appetizers.

Stop thinking Miami is a rude city. It is when you drive. I am not sure what happens to drivers behind a wheel, but GreenStreet is a great example of how people in Miami are really nice. The service was really great. People were nice and helpful and the bloody marys are awesome. I really liked the french fries as well. I really like how you can wait on the couches and watch Coconut Grove go by and I think the food is really decent. Still not a fan of the artichoke. It needs some seasoning. Go for drinks, brunch and a nice leisure day a Miami. ;)
GreenStreet Cafe is located in the grove where senior frogs used to be For some reason I always get more excited about coming to this place than when I actually arrive but not to say I don't have a good time because I've never had a bad time here. The food is good, good size for your buck the last time I went here I had a duck salad that I really enjoyed and some good drinks. The service has always been really, really good to me. I always see good looking people here. This place has a very laid back vibe, you look around and see everyone just chilling out in their own element talking enjoying themselves. It has really funky decor that I like because I like funky interesting stuff but if you've read some of the reviews on this place you'll notice something come up again, and again that would be the furniture being a tad icky and in some need of some TLC. I know when I go to a place one of the things I don't want to have to worry about is getting lice or some sort of secretion stick to me especially when the place is ment for kicking back and enjoying yourself. To me greenstreet is a meet up place to start your night or more so for me a early afternoon get together place to enjoy nice Miami weather.

Way to many people in one area at night. I did like the couches outside however.

Great spot for outside dining, especially with friends or on a date. It's a sexy spot with velvet sofas and tables where you can share a meal. Food portions are generous for the price, the decor is very cozy and there is plenty of outside dining space. I had the pasta with chicken in pink sauce, prepared well but a tad bland. They should try the same dish with a spicy arrabiata sauce and WOW! Or add some spice. But it was good. a little salt took it to the right level. Drinks are made strong so make sure if it's not to your liking tell them. some bartenders mistake a good drink for lots of alcohol. The wings are AMAAAAAZING. Not sloppy and drenched in sauce. Nice meaty and neat with a blackened outside and just the right amount of heat. Salads and fries also great! Can't go wrong with this spot.

An ideal place for small group dinners, evening drinks and dates! We have always enjoyed this place for the outside seating, tables for meals, and actual couches along the side walk for drinks. Plus the main bar is outside but well covered, so weather is never an issue for some type of outdoor eating/drinking. My friend who is an avid scotch drinker has always been pleased with the selections, as a gin drinker I always enjoy trying the varieties the bar has. Smoking cigarettes and cigars is allowed on the sidewalk area. The menu, like most Miami restaurants, has a large selection or meat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes, so everyone will be happy. Though some of the dishes have rather small portions. There is a weekend brunch menu that I enjoy, fairly basic, but always well prepared. Plus, there is the added perk of being able to sit outside on a quiet morning across the street from a park, and on slow moving early morning streets. Note, even when we go in groups of 7 or 8, for drinks or food, the service is always top notch and the meals always come out at the same time. Kudos to the kitchen.

So I think a lot of people like it here because its a place to see and be seen--especially on Sunday mornings--but I actually like it for the food and atmosphere also. It's a popular brunch spot for good reason; the breakfast food (pancakes--my favorite, omelets, coffee, fruit smoothies) is excellent and served in big portions. It's also just a cool place to sit outside and relax and take in a nice morning. Inside isn't bad either, but its dark and I kid you not I've gone with several people who think the decor is weird, especially the "creepy" little man sculptures all over the place. Green Street is also not bad for lunch; burgers are decent and some of the sandwiches (fish wrap, cajun chicken) are quite good. Never been for dinner, but at night it can turn into a pretty good spot to go out. It seems like it used to get more crowded and crazy at night back when I was in high school a few years ago (especially on Thursdays), but it's still nice to grab a few drinks and chill on those red couches. All in all, a solid place in the Grove.

Great date place, the couches are fun and it gives great place to just talk and enjoy Miami. I went around 10p and enjoyed some drinks (recommend the Mojito) and calamari as an appetizer - both were great.

Greenstreet is your go to place for a good meal or a place to meet up for a drink. It has a lot of outdoor seating which is great when the weather is nice. I've only had the salads and brunch but both were great and very satisfying. Fun place, and very laid back.

The breakfast I had was great. I tried the scrambled eggs with salsa. It wasn't spicy at all like the menu said, still very good. The onion bagel with chive cream cheese was good too. The service is usually pretty bad but I go back because of the food.

Great place for Sunday brunch, people watching and mimosas, I loved the outdoor seating. The food was good especially the mushroom pizza, we had an excellent waitress named Stephanie she was on top of her game! Considering it was packed she gets 5 stars! I love great service, food and ambiance.

I have had several business breakfasts here, and this is a lovely place, with a nice menu varitey for breakfast, excellent service, great people watching, and generally good vibe. I highly recommend it..... I had the banana pancakes and were perfect- cafe con leche, also perfect, wIfi while I waited and the best waiter ever

Come with an appetite, time, and a desire for al fresco. During Sunday brunch, you'll be in for a wait, but well worth it. The time you wait for table is made up by how fast you're served. They gave a generous portion of nova (salmon) eggs benedict with potatoes --delicious. The pancakes looked amazing, but I don't think it would have fit on our bistro table or our stomachs. Seating is outside and the tables are close enough to hold conversations with others, if you like that sort of thing. Lastly, this place is pup friendly...Lily and Pixie approve.

Do you all remember that Miami weekend three-weeks ago, first week of October it was 65 degrees, sun shining, blue sky, puffy white clouds and a nice comforting breeze to bring it all together on this Sunday morning. It is wonderful when a plan comes together. GF and I went to mass down the road, feeling rather glorious and happy to be alive, we decided to take in the Grove all it had to offer. The many dogs weren't even fighting. Lycra bound cyclist zipping by. The fortunate gray-haired types "cruising" in their rolling steel sculptures of Italian decadence. No sweating going on today. How about that mainstay the Green Street Cafe. Appropriately enough it was pajama day and the staff was looking comfy. We paid a few bucks to park next door, approached the hostess stand and noticed at least 20 parties ahead of us had the same culinary desire this day. No problem -this is where properly run restaurants show their true colors-table after table of happy customer were being turned, we had no problem in standing around for 15-20 minutes (again no sweating), even the fans were off. Plus the smell of home fries kept us engaged and eyeing tables that were about to clear out. The beautiful hostess calls out our name and we declare ourselves front and center. A few parties before us could not be found (aww) so we wanted to reward the hostess for their persistence. Great two-top table in the middle of the action (again dogs at peace with each other). Incredibly friendly server with a phenomenal disposition and personality. We knew what we wanted two orders of Eggs Benedict 8.5/10, Cafe con Leches -nice Lavazza brand coffee used, HOME FRIES, golden brown, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Although there was a long line at hostess stand we never felt rushed. It was nice flow. Had an extra shot of espresso to take on the rest of Cocowalk. Later had a pitcher of Mimosa across the street.

I love going to GreenStreet for Brunch. I like to sit outside on a nice cool Miami morning! (during fall, winter and early spring of course) The french toast with the maple syrup is one of my favorite. I know it's always swamped during the weekend, but can the service get better and more consistent? I am not a hard person to please when it come to service, all you need to do is come check on us if we need refill on the coffee, water or juice, is that too much to ask? I guess I am a sucker or it's because it's close to my house or maybe for the mediocre service......yes I will go back to eat there.

Seated in the corner across from a french restaurant, both restaurants compete for customer servers on standby by the street calling to people walking by. Eventually it was decided the green st cafe because they served pasta. I ordered the linguini and clams in red wine sauce. The pasta and sauce were good, there were plenty of clams in the pasta six with shells and the rest without I thought it was a nice touch and I was surprised to fish more and more clams out of the pasta.

We were a group of six persons that waited for over 90 minutes to be seated. As the hostess guided us to our table, she was told that the manager gave away our table to a 'regular' customer, and that unfortunately, we would have to simply wait for another table. I was shocked that management could be so discourteous and unprofessional. Furthermore, to be so bold to tell customers this, as if they didn't matter. The employees who were aware of what had happened were visibly embarrassed and dumfounded by the managers' action. The assistant manager offered free Mimosa's, then increased his offer to 50% off the tab. The truth is, even if it were free, we would not have stayed. Obviously, we will never ever go back there.

GreenStreet Cafe is a Coconut Grove staple that's been around for ages. The location is excellent for people watching and is popular for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour. I frequently go for breakfast/brunch on the weekends and will often have drinks with friends on the "lounge" side at night. I find the the food and service to be consistently good, although I would like to see them change up the menu from time to time.

Great place for brunch. I love the chocolate french toast!! The chocolate is inside the bread rather than just some source on the surface. My boyfriend ordered egg benedict, which was pretty good! Tables are outside and alone the street but not very noisy. Enjoyed a breakfast with sunshine in Miami was an wonderful experience especially for an escaper from the cold Philly. Price was fair, smoothy was fine too!

Well take 2 Ginkgo biloba and call me in the morning. I've been by here and even eaten here a time or two in the evening yet never knew they served such a good breakfast nor the name of the place. Eggs Florentine, blue berry pancakes and a mimosa. Ah. Finally a great breakfast close to home. I can ride my bicycle here and after a breakfast like that will need to ride much farther to work it off. Eat inside with comfortable seating and a/c or enjoy the fresh air outside and watch the people walking around. A menu for everyone with a cheap and simple eggs and toast to the breakfast budge and diet breaker that I had and more.

I am a bit biased as I have been coming to eat here since the late 90's but I love this place. I have eaten various items on their breakfast/brunch and lunch menu and I have never been disappointment, food quality is very consistently good. The service for the most part is OKAY but I have had my occurrences of slow/poor service; I'm usually not in a hurry as I am catching up with friends/family or I bring a newspaper. The location and environment are great...I always sit outside. Overall my favorite place for brunch in Miami.
Green Street is pretty cool. Its open air, which is great, but if you want to soke up some AC, the inside has a really unique baroque sort of decor. The food was good, decently priced and the service was very good. I haven't been here for breakfast/brunch yet, but I hear it is awesome. Thursday and Friday nights are fun at Green Street too (generally). Update: Went here for brunch this weekend, very reasonably priced but nothing spectacular about the food, its sort of hard to mess up eggs. Its nice to sit outside and people watch in the Grove.

GreenStreet gets 4 stars for their affordable, generously portioned, good-ass breakfast. It was my first experience here and it was a very satisfying one. I also had their new mexican soup which I recommend heavily because it was that good. I had a ham and cheese omelette which was pretty big and came with potatoes and toast. I sampled some of my friends' plates and they were all good as well. Their Bloody Mary was yummy and strong. A+ choice for a hangover.

HUEVOS RANCHEROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (eggs with salsa as its written on the menu) I could not get enough! SO MUCH food and I ate EVERY bite!!!!! I arrived to a long line and a FULL house. I gave my name and worried that I would not sit down in time to eat and my stomach would actually, eat itself. I started to walk up to the hostess to ask "How long will ..." "NICOLE" She called my name! I was seated immediately! I have been here before on a "diet" or for a meeting (BAH) so, never really got to enjoy a real, stick-to-your-ribs breakfast BUT, this time it was different. The service was quick, the waitress, friendly and the food came out hot and Fresh! I ordered the huevos rancheros with an everything bagel which comes automatically with tiny potatoes. The food was spectacular, I have been randomly texting friends with HUEVOS RANCHEROS all week since saturday. They were that good and I dont care how crazy I seem. LOVE!

Green Street... How I would love to love this place for brunch, but I dont. Bottom line probably the most overrated brunch in Miami. The eggs benedict are subpar and the breakfast in general is just average yet there is always an hour wait and people seem to rave about this place like it is the second coming. I strongly feel that people just like to sit out there on Sunday morning just to be seen looking fabulous on a busy corner. It gets 3 stars because I do enjoy their lunch menue. Good paninis and great burgers.

Brian M.
Great scenery, and phenomenal brunch. Everything I've had on the brunch menu has been very satisfying. Only downside is the wait, but, a mimosa at the bar fixes all that! :)

Every time I stay in Coconut Grove I go here for breakfast! I've never sat inside because it's been great weather every time I'm in Miami. Great breakfast, great service. I love getting egg whites "jerk" style. And it helps that it's very reasonable prices.

Two different sides to this place... a) Sunday morning brunch: This place is wonderful for brunch; on a nice day you can sit outside and enjoy the warm sun. They make excellent omelettes and serve great mimosas. A little pricey, but very enjoyable. Watch out for people passing by with VERY large animals... aka, dogs, snakes, etc. b) Thurs/Fri/Sat night hangout: This is the people-watching place. When the Grove is packed, Greenstreet is out of out hand! You can't get a table, they even have guardrails up to keep you out of the street. But, on a quieter weekend evening, you can sit, have a nice bottle of wine, and enjoy some simple appetizers: fruit and cheese platter, the mediterranean platter with humus and pita, or a well-portioned salad. The wine selection is good and reasonably priced so you can even enjoy a bottle. Really enjoyable without the meat market crowd.

This place is extremely over hyped. The brunch fair was like bad room service. The eggs Benedict were horrible from the sauce to the potatoes. The fruit salad was old and slimy. The OJ was NOT fresh squeezed. This was my first and last time.

GreenStreet Cafe is a good crowd pleaser. They've got something for everyone, even someone who is vegan and gluten-free. There are enough items on the menu for a vegan who is also sans gluten not to feel too boxed in by limited options. We went for breakfast so this will color this review. The potatoes are fried in peanut oil so they're 'safe', The generous fruit plate and melon plates are also a good choice. The tomato, grits, oatmeal with cranberries or raisins and museli to the same tune were also lovely. They didn't have soy milk for the coffee (they normally do and their soy lattes are AMAZING!) but the coffee was still great. Omnivore friends said their eggs were "perfect". The omelete also seemed to please.The service was fast which is typical. We didn't have to wait for a table of 4 which per past experience is a little unusual. Everything was clean and done simply but well. I wouldn't go for myself but it's a good restaurant for groups with mixed dietary needs.

If you've never been to Green Street and you live in Miami, you are living under a sad, sad rock. Green Street is the perfect place for breakfast, lunch, weekend crunch (crunk brunch), dinner and drinks! My favorites are the omelettes, mimosas (obviously), the goat cheese salad, and the tofu vegetable stirfry. The best time to go in my opinion is a sunday at noon. Expect a wait but it will be packed with cyclists, see or be seen types, families, hungover partiers... You name it, they're there. Night time is also a favorite. Half priced bottles of wine on mondays and great happy hour specials. Their mediterranean plate is to die for, too, and great for a monday night post-gym monday funday that is a must for my girl friend and I! Any day, any time, any company, green street is f-amazing! I am flabbergasted that its rated with 3.5 stars overall. Don't let that discourage you-- GO!

I didn't get a great impression of this place. Service was extremely slow and our table was dirty when we sat down until 7 min later that someone finally came to clean it. No even a hello. Drinks were Ok. Nothing special. Food is also OK. Overrated. There are a bunch of better places to spend this kind of money. Bah.

GreenStreet cafe is a good place to have lunch, specially if you like people watching....sitting outside always makes for a great lunch date. It's also a really good place if you are a vegetarian, they have some great appetizers like the lentil salad and the grilled asparagus, and some great salads and veggie wraps for entrees. If you go and their soup of the day is Ginger-Carrot YOU MUST TRY A BOWL!! its delicious...but for the most part, its nothing out of this world, the prices are really steep for what they offer, and if you sit inside for whatever reason the service tends to be slower. Also it feels stuffy in there because of the velvet decor. Overall its probably one of the best places to eat at the Grove, but I probably wouldn't go there more than twice a year.

Because I've only been here for breakfast, I can't say anything about their lunch or dinner offerings. However, I must say that their breakfast is great. Its not too pricey, and decent portions. Everything they do, they do pretty well, though I haven't been overwhelmed or had a "Wow" moment while eating there. The eggs benedict was good, the sauce wasn't broken(unlike another grove breakfast spot), but it wasnt anything extraordinary. The banana pancakes were pretty good, though for a full order, they give you only one small PACKAGE of syrup. 2 things. Packaged syrup? Even IHOP has warm syrup that they bring out. And as much as I love a great pancake, if you dont have enough syrup, whats the point. If I'm paying 9 dollars for pancakes, you could at least give me enough syrup to put on them...and not charge $1.25 for another serving of it. Shameful, really. Despite it all, what makes this place stand out is the ambience. There's something hugely satisfying about sitting outdoors on a weekend morning watching the world wake up. Its just a beautiful place to be in the morning and eating a decent meal. If you have an opportunity, take a loved one and head out there one morning. You won't be sorry.

horrible!!! disgusting and greasy! everything is terrible here! smell , look/style deco... I can't still understand why there is so much people at this place ! how people can write positive review on this crappy place! I had a Cajun Chicken Breast on a Bun .... my Gosh... the chicken was dry and tasted like old , the "homemade" CajunBlend was, in fact, from a plastic bottle or a can... The waiter had a horrible smell like he didn;t took a shower for 3 days... I went to the toilet... yeark!!!!!! and the smell inside the restaurant was a mixe between old water and chlorox and urine ... was my worst experience. Prices are ok , but still expensive for what you have to try to eat! In the Grove you have better place with real kitchen and chef , like Jaguar , Le Bouchon or George's . Greenstreet Cafe is a blurry copy of News Cafe

Green Street is a dirty little place with numerous Board of Health violations; check out the channel 10 news website for the facts. The lamb burger though is excellent and it's a good place for people watching outdoors; this place is focal point in the grove based on the geometry of the streets but offset from Coco Walk. The place is dark at night. Like dinning in the dark. Guests, if you want to see the menu, bring a flashlight--"for reals." Come on--install some lighting and show off your food and service. Make it happy. The interior of the place really needs a good bleaching to kill all the bacteria and some remodeling, including the use of light fixtures rated at more than 5 watts/hour. Did I mention it was dirty? Every time I eat there I remember the Russian Roulette scene in the movie The Deer Hunter. "Maow!!! Maow!!!" Disturbing. :0) It has free WiFi, which is very cool.

Green Street gets an average rating from me because I can think of 10 better restaurants I'd rather eat at for the same price or less. Plus, the menu is so generic that there really is nothing to differentiate it or justify the cost.

Jacob C.
This place is really great...and super laid back. I love going here and sitting out at the tables on the sidewalk and have some drinks and food. The food quality at GreenStreet is really good...and it is a nice alternative when you want to get something a little healthier after a late night in the grove instead of fast food or something else that isn't too healthy for you. They have a really good drink special on Wednesday's...$5 Dewars 12 or Black Label. Give this place a try if you want a place to get a good bite to eat with good drinks thats really laid back and you can enjoy the ambiance of the grove.

It's late, it's Sunday night, we had the munchies, and an urge to be in a place that's a ALIVE with people - the night never ends at Greenstreet... Or just maybe you won't remember how it ended. Either way big red chairs at Greenstreet saved our night as we enjoyed some wine and savory hummus w/ warm pita while watching over the late night shenanigans in Coconut Grove.

This neat (not so little) cafe in Coconut Grove was the perfect place to grab a leisurely pre-cruise departure breakfast. It's located just a little bit off CoCo Walk and boasts an enormous L shaped patio where patrons can bask in the sun while feasting on an interesting and tasty menu. My omelet was delicious (spinach & feta egg whites only), and the coffee was fresh, but the homefries/breakfast potatoes looked like a frozen kind and were a bit disappointing. That said, the meal was good and the locale even better. If I lived in Miami, I'd eat here often!

The local 'see and be seen' corner hotspot of the Grove has always been a favorite of mine. I have been going to Greenstreets for around 25 years for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is consistently good after all theses years. However, the wait staff varies. Recently, the weather was gorgeous outside and I had an out of town guest I wanted to take to the Grove. I havent been here in a very long time and was curious to see any changes. The one change was the wait staff. We had a pleasant server named Jessica. Cute, petite and friendly server who was always making sure we had drinks and attentive to our needs. I am definately going back next week with a friend for her birthday and I hope Jessica will be our server!

This is my absolute favorite place to have breakfast. Outdoor seating a must. The French Toast are spectacular. Lunch and dinner are great here too. You can never go wrong. But I definitely like it for the breakfast. The French Toast are just awesome! Not a bad place to have drinks too. And the prices are super reasonable. My favorite all around, everyday restaurant in Coconut Grove.

grabbed lunch here the other day was able to get a seat outdoors so was very pleased food is ok although i couldn't believe the tuna salad was a scoop of canned tuna and not a seared tuna type salad (taught me to read the menu more carefully from now on) service is sufficient don't think i'll go back there, nothing all that special
Good service, incredible burger. Free drink refills, too. That's rare at a place as chic as this.

I'd only been to GreenStreet at night for drinks a few times, and found it pretty ordinary. Then I went for brunch. I consider myself to be a bit of a junk-food connoisseur, and must say their cheeseburger is on my top 3 list for best in Miami. Though a bit pricey (I believe it was about $15 for the burger with fries and a glass of water), it was definitely worth every bite. Yum.

My boyfriend and I went for brunch. Fresh squeezed OJ and watermelon lemonade were great. He said the coffee was awful. He got eggs benedict, I got salmon benedict. Ham seemed like pre-sliced processed meat. My egg was basically cooked through (I mean, hard-boiled by accident) so back it went. It came back on the wheat toast they'd forgotten the first time instead of the english muffin. Oops. Hollandaise was somehow off. All of this could be potentially forgiven - but we were really bothered by the line on the menu under pancakes that said "Real maple syrup available for $1.25 extra." If you are known for brunch, you get points off for serving corn syrup - and more points off for announcing it. I could be convinced to give this another try, but only under duress.

While surrounding restaurants are constantly undergoing transformation under new ownership, GreenStreet continues to stand strong and has done so for almost more than two decades. This says a lot about a place always filled with locals, politicians, and pets are also welcomed. I've been coming here for more than 10 years for birthdays, football games or simply dinner or a drink and I have never been disappointed. My boyfriend and I visited for breakfast this weekend. We arrived early, about 9am. You should too if you can, it gets really crowded after 10am and you are more likely to wait. I had a delicious omelet with mushrooms and goat cheese. My better half went for the egg whites with spinach and feta which I tried and almost made me feel guilty for ordering eggs. Well, almost. Come hungry, they are very splendid with portions; my wheat toast appeared to be super sized. Luckily, my man likes to spread jelly and have as desert so no bread was wasted here. We sat at the small, round outdoor tables and though crowded, it was not noisy and was bright with the morning sunlight. Plus sitting outside means taking pleasure in people watching and table side pets like the little poodle whose owner had sat in his own chair. If you are a bag lady like me, a hook under the outside tables holds your bag. You can also sit in the red velvet like comfortable couches, it's signature seating at this Coconut Grove staple.

I love this place! I've only been here at night. It gets pretty busy on Friday nights. People just lounge around on the red couches with drinks or grab something to eat on their regular tables outside. Inside they have a bar and more couches. The services there is very good, our waiter was very attentive. This is definately a locals hangout.

Yeah, only went there in the evening. So my opinion is valid only when considering nightlife, but I was not impressed. The layout was ineffective. Everyone was crowded up at the outdoor bar, but the inside had huge vacant spaces and the bathroom line was long.

excellent place to hangout, great locals spot, drinks are mixed generously, spot to go on a date, many wine specials, excellent food, beautiful outdoor seating, conveniently located to other bars, only thing is that the interior decorations are a little off, little white plastic men hanging from the walls and ceilings.

greenstreet is this little oasis of coolneighborhoodieness in the overly touristy grove area. it's been around since the early 80's (i believe) and started with just a few tables. they've expanded since with tables wrapping around both sides of the building and a few rooms inside as well. the standard seating outside is mixed with segafredo-esque seating (ie. awesome antique wooden chairs & loves seats with red cloth). the food is pretty f-ing good. however, over the past few years they've been skimping a bit. for example, their crab cake evolution... 6 years ago... 2 juicy, almost no-filler crab cakes adorned with a huge side salad with house dressing. 4 years ago... 1 huge crab cake with some more filler and a medium side salad 2 years ago... 1 decent size crab cake with a sprig of side salad w/little to no dressing that was pretty much just garnish and even with their (d)evolution of their crab cake, it's still a great little place. their french fries are a masterpiece. burgers are a delight and brunch is usually exceptional (minus the wait). during brunch on the weekends, expect to wait 30 min minimum. also expect to see "The Tribe of the Loud Pants" (also known as the cyclists who like to grab some tasty food after riding in their bright colored cycling gear. i'm convinced it's their unofficial hangout.) feel free to bring your dogs, i do. and bring an empty stomach. only reason they didn't get 5 stars is cause i'm jaded about the crab cakes and their extensive wine list shrunk a bit. :(

I don't know why, but I like this place. The food isn't great, but it's not bad. Same for the service, but whenever I eat here (or even just meet for drinks), I have a great time. Be warned, if you come at the most popular times, this place gets packed and LOUD.

Great atmosphere and good food held back by tiny tables and high prices if you go for lunch. I go here a lot b/c it's has a great atmosphere out on their patio. It's right on a corner in the grove and it has tons of shaded outdoor seating where you can people watch and just enjoy the day. The only thing that would make the patio better is if some of the tables were farther apart (I can almost always bump into the table behind me by leaning back a little in my chair) and if the tables themselves were slightly bigger. There 4 top tables are the size many restaurant's use for 2 tops. I've never had a bad meal here either and for dinner the prices are reasonable, but since it has the same menu for lunch, the lunch is a bit pricey ($14 and up). I have been here once for brunch and I enjoyed it thoroughly, the portions were huge, and everything was under $10 I believe. Worth stopping by if you're hungry in the Grove.

Good breakfast.. I've been here once, and liked it.. Although I thought it was uncomfortable..

One of the wonderful outdoor eateries in the "Grove"...this place is happening for breakfast, lunch, dinner and after dinner. We love having a late breakfast there....lounging outside watching the world move by. The service is quite good and the food is always fresh and well made. Other than the dogs barking at each other, this spot is great.

Wow! There are some serious mixed reviews here. Well, I'll put my two cents in. I've been here a few times after doing my long runs on Saturday morning. I've only ordered the wheat blueberry pancakes and I have to say it is ABSOLUTELY DE-LISH! I'm actually running a 10K in the Grove this weekend and all I can think about is my reward....the pancakes. I'm hooked. The few times I've been, I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes. The outside seating is fabulous and great for people watching and the service has been good. Not great, but good. The reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I haven't been in the evening and I haven't tried anything else on the menu. I can't seem to get away from the pancakes. I like that fact that they're not super greasy and they give you a decent portion. Happy Eating!

Ah, Green Street. Hands down, THEE place to people watch in the Grove. The place I drink champagne on a Friday nights until I just about fall over - for FREE (ladies special only). I can't tell you how many good times I've had here over the last 2 years - it's the go-to spot for my whole crew to hang out, discuss what we are doing for the weekend (and beyond) and shake off our hectic work week. The service is always great and the food is very basic, good and consistent. I usually end up ordering the margarita pizza or the mediterranian plate (grape leaves, generous pile of hummus and tabouli, pita) - always yummy. The calamari is just OK - not the best I've had, but still pretty tasty. A friend of mine orders the Bolognese pasta often and she always says it's very good too. I almost forgot about the Blue Moon beer specials - $3 a beer on Fridays... It's Friday and I'm headed over there tonight!

We dropped in last night for late night happy hour which is 11p to close. It was full but we found a little table by the bar. Loud music, maybe too loud, but still yummy drinks and the caramelized onion flatbread pizza was crazy crazy gooood! The mango martini is my new fave drink I discovered here a few weeks ago :) Highly recommend!

This place might as well have a "Runners Welcome, Mimosas Flowing" banner as you approach the hostess stand on a Saturday morning-they are a favorite for early morning runners on Saturday- and my Team in Training team and alumni are no exception. We always get seated quickly ( even at times when the number of people in our party can go from 4 - 15), the service never suffers due to the overflow of orders and diet specific alterations to meals-and- you get eat a hearty breakfast for under 10.00, while sitting out on grand ave people watching and enjoying the Miami weather. Everyday they serve breakfast till 2pm- but on Saturdays and Sundays they do offer Eggs Benedict which do not disappoint. Not to mention their banana chocolate pancakes, or french toast - their pancake and french toast orders are gargantuan! I usually order their one egg ( which really looks like two) and it comes with a side of toast and their breakfast potatoes for 4.99. STEAL! the mimosas however, are 8.00 a flute- I would like to see a different pricing for that someday-your drink shouldn't cost more than your entire plate of food! They also have alot of a la carte items, as well as a full lunch/dinner menu after 12. I have never gone for anything other than breakfast- eventually I will. Other than that-this is a staple of my Saturday mornings in the grove with teammates- failthful service, and never disappointing.

Came out for a late lunch and received impeccable service. We decided to sit outside on the sidewalk to enjoy the weather along with the food. We were told we can sit anywhere we liked and the server promptly came out. He suggested the watermelon lemonade and brought out some bread. The lemonade was very good and after the bread was finished, he asked if we wanted some more. I really appreciate a waiter who checks up on the table every few minutes and this waiter was on point. As I ordered the blackened fish wrap he suggested I get it medium due to the cooking length possibly drying out the blackened fish. I took his suggestion and the wrap was great. I got the fries with the wrap and they were very good as well. Great service and great food at a price that won't break the bank.

Pretty good. Not bad. I've had better and I've had worse. It wasn't all that but I didn't feel like I got ripped off. The waiter spoke fluent enough English and that's always a plus. But honestly, I could take it or leave it. I probably won't miss it if I never eat there again.

Hello Sunday brunch I love you! Incredible food, mimosas, gorgeous people, outdoor seating...seriously what else could you want!! Great place to bring your dog but be prepared to wait as the word is out this is the place to be on Sundays!!

GreenStreet Cafe is a must visit when you are in Coconut Grove. Food: I have only been there for Brunch multiple times on the weekends and it is one of the best (if not the best) places in Miami for Brunch. I have never been disappointed by the food at all. My favorite is the Spinach and Feta omelet with their potatoes. Very good! My wife always orders the Banana Pancakes and they are to die for. Fluffy, sweet, but not too sweet and overall delicious. Service: During Brunch the service is good. Have never had any complaints about it. Servers always have a smile on their face and are very helpful. Sometimes they seem to get sidetracked because of the amount of tables they are waiting but overall no complaints. At night the bar scene is pretty good. I have only ordered drinks by the outside bar and the bartender is quick and serves good drinks. Price is typical of what you would expect to find.

Great place for get togethers with friends especially for those who like a lounge type atmosphere with cool house music playing softly in the background. Their outdoor seating area is great ie., red velvet sofa's on the side walk definately a great way to spend time to relax, enjoy your company of friends, people watch and enjoy some drinks/ cocktails/ beer/ wine, etc. Try the Mango Mojito cant go wrong! The food offered there is good as well

If you haven't been here, you should go, not because its very good, more because its an institution. But the food is not amazing, and the staff is pretty bad all around. It's more about location and people watching than anything.

Sunday brunch at Green St is for all, young couples, yuppie families with dogs and small children...two-leggeds and four-leggeds! I've been to Green St for brunch twice now, and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience this time around. First time was "meh" and not worth an update. Had the nova benedict for brunch, this time I did not get toast with it. But it was completely delicious! Not your typical Hollandaise sauce, the potatoes were fried with onions this time around...very very tasty! I loved it and polished off ALL my food. My dining companion had a vegetable omelette which she says is her favorite at Green St. Waiter was very attentive, he came by to make sure her coffee was always refilled and warm. I was surprised, especially since it is SuperBowl weekend and it was crazy all around. I suppose one could get pleasantly surprised the second time around...:) Tip-bits: Heaters outside are on when it's cooler or chilly out Parking is $6 at the lot beside , self-park

This was a great find in the Grove. After wandering a bit and looking for a place to enjoy a glass of wine, the huge sidewalk patio and late hours (even on a Wednesday) brought us to Green Street. I ended up here 2 nights in a row. They have a good and reasonably-priced wine and draught beer selection. Although it was late, I can never resist food, so we checked out their Chorizo flatbread pizza - Chorizo on half bc I don't love meat. It was awesome and the perfect amount of food for a snack over a glass of wine. The service was good even though it was busy. I will definitely be back to Green Street the next time I'm in the Grove.

I would confidently say that this is the best place for a great breakfast in the Gables, and an even better Brunch on weekends. There is no shortage of outdoor seating so you can enjoy great food in the shaded outdoors of beautiful Coco Walk. My ideal breakfast here is starting off with a Mimosa.. or two, and ordering the delicious herb omelet with sauteed potatoes on the side. Green Street also houses my most favorite bagels in the world. They are always so fresh and crusty on the outside, mmm, it really hits home for me. Conclusion : The food is always delicious and amazing, the location and appearance are as good as it gets, AND you can have yourself a nice drink at breakfast without getting any looks! A+

Went to greenstreets last night! no big deal, usual spot in the grove.. one of the more relaxed places to hang out, sit down, if you can get a table or red velet couch and have a drink. The service is great, this one girl Alex is really the best, just dont be rude or crazy with her. They have tons of spicy bar munchies and if youre extra speical they give you some bruschetta on the casa. They had a sam adams beer sampling which i enjoyed so much i bought a beer! then some sambuca and threw some coffee beans in it.. started having alot of fun with coffee beans.. The food menu is not too extensive, but its definitely a great place for lunch or better yet brunch on the weekend! a must go in the grove for sure... the music was a step above the rest of the grove as well...

Got here at 11 was told wait was 30 minutes long. after patiently waiting until 12 was told we couldnt sit because kitchen was backed up. waited to be seated until 1215, and ordered pancakes and they had run out. Didn't even offer to invite me back, apologize, anything, they just lost me as a customer. go to lulus across the street instead. they wasted half of my sunday and the food wasnt even worth it.

my friend asked me to meet him here for a little biz talk last night, i had never been to green street before, didnt even notice it and this is kinda embarrassing as ive biked on main hwy at least eight hundred times. i really like their seating area outside, like liz t says, awesome antique wooden chairs ... i like that. i did not come in at all but it seemed like it was dark inside. about the service. i guess im picky, and i know this. im spoiled and potentially rude but i dont like it when a server seats you and says "hihowareyouwouldyoulikesomethingtodrink?" i like it when they respond. i usually respond "im good, how about yourself?" as soon as i hear 'how are you?' but rarely i get an answer. i know, im spoiled. its my bad education. i am aware. we ordered a few beers, oh yeah, all of their beers are only $4.50 after 10pm and wells are $6. so i had a few guinness draught and my friend had a few heinekens. we also shared a pizza margarita. pretty good pizza actually... and only 12$ overall, my experience was ok, i would come back for the food and inexpensive beers and hopefully i will get more attentive/personalized service and i will bump my rating up another star making it 4 solid stars.

Tons of places to eat and drink in the Grove. This is one of them. Lots of outside seating which is where we always like to sit. The server was good and the selection of beers was good. The food was enjoyable but nothing to get excited about. Not disappointing, not exceptional. One of our party had their order botched and the manager was kind enough to apologize and give us a free dessert for the table. I left town and my friends said they came back for breakfast as it was highly recommended. Apparently the breakfast here is excellent as my friends did say it was quite good. Go again? Sure. Recommend you try it? Absolutely.

Friendly Staff Great Portion of food - I had the Mediterranean Salad - YUMMY! My S/O had the Duck Salad - Also YUMMY! Heart of Coconut Grove And if you check in - you get either a free desert or Appetizer!! I had a very enjoyable dinner!

Just went this time for a pre-dinner drink outside with friends. Love the vibe. Decently quick service with a smile. Looking forward to returning
(4)Lee H.
This place is just good. The location is really great as it's in a quiter part of coconut grove. Most exciting about this place is that they offer an eggs and caviar option which I think is incredible. That said, I opted for eggs and Brie which was fantastic. The sesame bagel and potatoes were excellent. I think there are little fried onions shreds in it which tasted great. Bottom line a worthwhile stop for breakfast. The only minorly annoy thing was they charged $1.25 for an extra side of cream cheese.

Use to be better, had breakfast there was quite unimpressed.

Went here for brunch on a Tuesday. Got the eggs with cheese, potatos and maple ham ..usual breakfast food along with a YUMMY fruit plate. The food was devine, as well as the fresh fruit. Sat outside, calm setting on this particular time and day. Service was great and very attentive! 4 instead of 5...well even for the Grove I believe the price is a tad steep
(4)Jack H.
Excellent breakfast of Nutella Stuffed French Toast and a side a Greek Yogurt. Wonderful sidewalk atmosphere. Where the ball got dropped is my waitress disappeared after I was served and it took me flagging down several others to get my check. If my server had gone on break or whatever -- you would think that they would have this covered -- but no one seemed like they could be bothered.
(3)Johnny T.
Lunch, people. Lunch. I see a lot of inconsistency/complaints about brunch, happy hour, etc. Avoid all that drama by stopping by around 12:30 on a Tuesday and going to town on the lunch menu. Odds are, there won't be many people in the restaurant so you can get attentive service in the back room (which resembles one of the many parlors I will one day have in Chateau Johnree). You can order something savory that's not egg-based and end the meal with something sweet that's not a pancake. And, most importantly, you can actually enjoy your meal and experience at this Coconut Grove staple. #belikeme As one might surmise, I came for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon and sat my perky (I really should have a workout tape) nalgas on a velour throne and proceeded to pretend to listen to my lunch mate but, in reality, I just stared at myself in the adjacent mirror. Sounds perfect, right? It gets better. Our waiter was friendly and a little goofy. He tried a bit too hard but his heart was entirely in the right place. In the nearly year since I moved to Miami, I have experienced more d@amn-now-I-have-to-CUT-you service than I have in my entire life. If a waiter wants to crack wise and do his best to make my dining experience a pleasant one? Go for it. Unfortunately, he's in the minority. Jokes cracked, buttocks rested, Arnold Palmer ordered (the best lunch time beverage) and reflection looked at, it was time to decide on food. Let me let you in on a secret: for lunch, go light savory and end light sweet. It's not 'plastics' but I promise you the advice will take you far. Listening to my own advice, I opted for the grilled chicken sandwich. It was of a fairly-large size and came adorned with honey mustard, bacon and swiss cheese. Instead of fries, I chose a side of black beans to go with the sandwich. BAM! I win. I always win. Not only was the meal big enough to sate my appetite, it tasted great, was meal-time appropriate (there's an etiquette to eating) and made me consider the next time I would come to GS to have it again. But, that's not where the story ends. You have to end on a light sweet note, remember? Good. Now, remember this: lemon ricotta donuts with blackberry dipping sauce. ... If I have to say anything else after that last sentence, you're not listening or trying very hard. Crazy. Good. Share because you're in public but don't really share by eating the majority of the donuts before your friend can. Sorry, friend. And, that's how you win at eating at GS. Are you looking at my bum?

Great place for breakfast, Coffee, Brunch Or dinner even for drinks Service is Fast, waiters are friendly and fast. Portions are kind on the bigger side. They have plenty of healthy alternatives .

Sometimes, when my friends are having a bad week, when they really need a turn in their life, when they really really need a pick me up, I bring them to Green Street and make them order breakfast (served until at least 2PM, every day, by the way) The breakfast potatoes, they are life changing. Life. Changing. Yea yea yea, Green Street has great cocktails, appetizers, fine food, awesome decor and hot waiters, but those breakfast potatoes, they are therapy. Coupled with a tomato, goat cheese and onion omelette and you have a $12 slice of heaven, right there on your massive cocoanut grove-emblazoned plate. Couple that slice of heaven with an iced cappuccino, and you will be ready for anything, even if it's just non-stop gabbing about your hot waiter.
(5)Dung N.
It was my first time in Miami and I was the first one to arrive that day. My friend was able to take me out and show me around a little bit that night. Thursdays happen to be college night at The Grove. We stopped here since Fat Tuesday was kinda dead. I love their comfy couches and people watching. I didn't have any food, but they do give you some spicy nuts and crackers to munch on. The ambiance is great!
(4)Lew B.
Awesome spot for breakfast. Great location, great decor. The food is incredible. Generous portions prepared to order. Cinnamon roll pancakes. Are you kidding me? The best pancakes I've ever had in 44 years of life.
(5)Adam E.
In a nut shell, Good food, large portions but service is poor. Food: price is reasonable (25$ for girlfriend and I) portions were large. Food was slightly above average. Service: sucked. Brought out dirty water cup. Had 3 different servers come up to us but they never checked back. Had to flag them down for condiments and the bill.
(3)Anthony B.
Got a chance to try this place out. Very good. Didn't have a long wait, got seated right away. The giant chairs they have freak me out a bit, but that's just me. Food came out fast, I had the orange chicken which was cooked really well. The skin could have been a tad bit crisper, but I'm nitpicking. The meat was tender so I don't have any complaints. Friends had no complaints about their food either, so all is good. We had the Tempura Banana desert, which was really good. I was already full to begin with, but I managed to find room for this. It was a good combo of warm/cold/sweet/and FRIED. Can't go wrong with fried. The waiter was friendly and came around to refill waters/bread as needed. Gave us some suggestions on what to do while in Florida and was generally a nice guy. If you're in Miami, grab a bite here, the food is good!
(4)S S.
OK service. Went to visit Miami to watch a Dolphins vs. Jets game on Sunday and a friend of ours suggested this place to us. He told us they have the BEST french toast so the four of us went. We ordered half of french toast and an omelette. Honestly, I didn't think it was "the best". It was good, but I've had better. Good prices though! They have cool seats and you can sit outside/inside. I would recommend it to my friends... They have other stuff on the menu as well, so I would most likely go back if I get the chance.
(4)Adam P.
Large portions and great people watching are the highlights at Greenstreet cafe. Quality of food at Breakfast was good but not great. Although we didn't try it, the nutella stuffed french toast looked quite tasty.
(3)Stephanie G.
I went back to GreenStreet a couple of weeks ago and it'd been YEARS since my last visit. I'm not sure why I hadn't gone back, but it probably has something to do with the fact that I rarely leave Brickell. I remember thinking in the past that the food at GreenStreet was phenomenal. I think my palette is much more refined than it once was. I arrived at GreenStreet on the Saturday of the Coconut Grove Arts Festival expecting to wait a million years for a table. As expected, we waited a million years for a table. Once we sat down, we ordered the truffle brie wrapped in puff pastry since our server enthusiastically announced that it was the best item on the menu. It was...underwhelming. I then had the goat cheese salad and added chicken. I expected the salad to be much more flavorful than it was. My friend ordered the lasagna which she didn't seem too enthusiastic about. Overall, our visit to GreenStreet was pleasant, since the outdoor seating area provides excellent people-watching and the weather outside that day was perfect. In my humble opinion, if you're looking for a place to relax outside with friends and enjoy the lovely atmosphere, GreenStreet is your place. If you're expecting an out-of-this-world culinary experience, go elsewhere. PS I can't believe they still only have one women's bathroom stall, someone has GOT to do something about that!!!!!
(3)Lory T.
I love this place. Especially, because I get to bring my dog. I had the lasagna and it was delicious . My boyfriend had the blacken dolphin and according to him was great. The ambiance was also great. The waiter was on point with the services. The reason for the four stars was because yamile(our waiter)was refilling my wine all the time and you can't go wrong with that.
(4)Stefanie C.
I have heard great things about their brunch. Sadly their dinner does not compare. I ordered the "blackened dolphin." It was incredibly dry and very bland. The veggies were ok but cooked heavy in oil and butter. My bf got the fish of the day (snapper) with a side of sautéed spinach. His fish was just as boring as mine and the spinach was drenched in oil. Thank goodness for our wonderful waiter or I would have left really unhappy. Our waiter was so sweet and attentive. He made our experience go from horrible to decent. Ill be back to try their brunch but definitely never for dinner.
(2)Gaby S.
Love this place! tried going to lulu's around 11 but they said they were closed and only serving drinks. We were starving so we came to greenstreet to see what was on the menu and order some food. They have a late night menu which we opted to get the calamri and flat bread pizza.. both were really good and at a good price. The place was also really upbeat and had a lot of people which i liked. Cool, fun and trendy place to go to and chill out, drink and grub. Im a fan of green street and i know you will be too :)
(4)Jorge M.
Came here during the Coconut Grove Art Show. We sat outside cause the weather was perfect to be outdoors and enjoying a meal. We started off with some calamari and it was just ok. in my opinion it had to much breading and should use a different type other than Italian bread crumbs. Then I had a Blue Cheese Burger with sauteed onions and mushrooms that was cooked perfectly. I got it with shoe string french fries. My friends had the Fig Salad with grilled chicken strips( large portion) and one other person had the same burger as I did but he got it with grilled veges. it took awhile for the food but I guess it was because of the Art Show. The waitress we had was attentive to our table filling the glasses of water and checking to see how our food was and if we needed anything else.I will definitely eat here again.
(3)Tom L.
After passing by this often crowded corner so many times I decided to try it for once. My girlfriend and I had a series of yummy dishes. We started with the Truffle Brie baked in Puff Pastry served with crispy toasts. It was melt in your mouth good! After that I had the Goat Cheese Pizza and my girlfriend had the blackened dolphin. The pizza had a delicious thin crispy crust and a generous coating of goat cheese along with arugula and sun dried tomatoes. The blackened dolphin was moist, flaky and perfectly spicy. This was impressive as most restaurants over cook and dry out their blackened fish. The fish was served with the largest asparagus spears I've ever seen - very tasty! Service was prompt and polite.
(4)Virginia M.
Outer seating? Check. Great ambiance? Check. Strong drinks? Check. Good food? Check. Wonderful service? Check. Will I be coming again? Yes. Their pizza is delicious! Though skip the chips and salsa as the salsa has no spice to it (maybe a personal preference?)
(4)Alejandra S.
Very long wait for Sunday brunch and the food was just ok. Don't get what the big deal is about.
(3)Emily C.
Yelp led me astray on this one. We did not enjoy our experience and won't go back. When we called to see if they were open on New Year's Day, the hostess was extremely rude. Ok, maybe we caught her in a bad moment... We arrived as a party of 6 and one baby, and they tried to seat us at a 4 top. Weird, no. Ok, ordering. My friend ordered the eggs Benedict (listed on the menu) and the waiter said they only serve that on weekends, which it wasn't. It doesn't say that anywhere on the menu and it's mixed in with other menu items. He said he could see if he could do it. Weird. I asked if the turkey sausage came in links or patties and after glancing at all the other tables he said he had no clue. I ordered it anyways and they brought regular sausage, which I figured out after taking a bite. Ugh. THEN, we had the baby carrier on our 7th chair (they knew we were a party of 7 when we sat down) and half way during our breakfast, they came and said they needed the chair and could the baby please sit on the floor? Seriously?? So rude. All in all, not a good experience. One star because the food was fine (and yelp doesn't let you give 0).
(1)Danielle L.
This place is so gross! They brought our food with a hair in it and then didn't even comp the meal off the bill. Terrible etiquette and customer service. How could you charge someone for food with a hair in it?! So unsanitary. Definitely will not be back.
(1)Jocelyn P.
I love the food here. And the furniture. And the drinks. And the staff...it's just a little pricey but it's coconut grove so thats to be expected. We come here for birthday dinners with friends because it's close and delicious, and when you arder a birthday dessert you get a giant firecracker roman candle thing. Sparks everywhere. Once had someone try to blow it out and shot sparks across the table... not a wise choice but made for quite the awesome photo. The staff is really friendly and accommodating, and the place is packed all day. The bar is really well stocked too. Highly recommend any pasta dish here. I love the chicken fettuccine alfredo here.
(4)Keith P.
By far, one of the best breakfast places I have ever been to in Miami! My friend and I have been whenever we want to get breakfast, and their food is definitely a good way to start your day! I highly recommend that you try their spinach and feta omelette (it's my favorite) together with their breakfast potatoes-- amazingly crisp! Are you looking to satisfy your sweet tooth? Order Steve's Banana pancakes! They are huge and half an order should be a good meal, but if you are extremely hungry get the full order. I think it is one of my more favorite breakfast nooks because they offer you outdoor seating which faces the Grove-- good scenery!
(4)Adalberto M.
Phantameo!! A.k.a. Overrated. GreenStreet Cafe is a staple of Coconut Grove, it is considered one of the known restaurants in this town. Naturally, this place has its clientele and really doesn't need to lure people in. Expect the service to be meh. Waiters wearing nothing but black, with a chip on their shoulder just because they believe their in the "it" spot. Food is also meh. Seriously overpriced for a burger, pizza, or any other food you can probably make yourself. In short, this place is ONLY good for people watching. Expect them dressed in all sorts of ways from shorts & flip flops to high heels & dresses. Although owned by the same company, I'd much rather go next door to Lulu's.
(2)Kristen S.
Good ole Greenstreet! Never, ever ceases to please a hungry soul. Whether it be breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or late-night eats, Greenstreet hits the spot. It really is my got-to place when I get hungry at odd hours since they are basically open all day and night. I honestly can't recall having a bad meal there, ever.
(5)Grant P.
Green Street is one of those places that garners this reaction: Friend: "Let's go to Green Street." You: "OMG YES!!!" The food is great, the atmosphere of a sidewalk cafe doesn't really get much better, and the drinks are good too. This place is great for any meal. A quiet lunch, a nice dinner with friends, a night cap at the bar, or a Sunday Brunch--you could even do all of that in the same 24 hour period if you wanted.

I have never written a bad review since I've joined yelped but I've never been treated this way going out to eat. This places was recommended to me by a friend so me and my husband decided to check it out. The wait was an hour to an hour and a half which is fine with me I mean it is sunday and the brunch group is pretty thick. So we grabbed a waiting table and waited for the waiter to take out beverage order... 30 minutes goes by and the server never stops at our table.... Everyone else's but not our table.... 15 more minutes passes by and another server see us and ask if we have been helped . We tell him no and he takes out beverage order and said the server would be bringing my mimosa..... I never got my mimosa. It's not until my friend flagged down the waiter that I asked to speak to a manager. When the manager finally came to our table I kindly told her the situation as to how we have been sitting there for more than an hour being completely ignored while she served every table but ours.. The manager kindly apologies and gave us a complementary round of beverages that never made it to our table. Eventually we gave up on this place and left. I will never set foot in this establishment again.

I love coming here and sitting at the bar with my friends! Your bartenders Amy and Emily are fantastic and the manager Nick always takes care of the customers. Very impressed with the way they work together to make the best dining experience possible! I will continue coming as a regular multiple times s week!

Great food and service. Very loud, but very welcoming at the same time. Heat outside was unbearable plus mosquitos, eat inside. Probably much better during cool months to sit outside.

Here we go.... The little entourage of hostesses is terrible. They all have bad attitudes and clearly don't want to be here on a Sunday...(get a new job, ladies)...they told me, with a perfect eye roll, that there was a 2 hour wait...We waited in bar area, the bartender outside, Rebecca, was great. Super helpful, despite being the only bartender for 30+ people. Then we got seated, after an hour and a half (not complaining, because I was enjoying my mimosas outside) ...our waiter wasn't very present. He forgot our drinks, our food was super late. Luckily, GreenStreet Cafe has incredible food, it's worth the wait on a lazy Sunday but the staff needs to go. I don't want to feel like an inconvenience when I'm dining out.

I met a a friend at GSC for brunch on a sunny Saturday morning. It was jammed with locals and tourists -- including loads of families with kids. The brunch menu goes in two directions -- either big, lovely omelets accompanied by crispy hash browns and toast or fancy pancakes and french toast. The goat cheese and spinach omelet was huge and I ate every bite of the omelet + half a toasted baguette and a huge mound of potatoes. The place is cute and definitely could be a go to breakfast spot if you live in the Grove or at a nearby hotel, but I suspect there are equally tasty breakfast places in every neighborhood. In short GSC is good, but is not worth driving more than a few minutes to. Doesn't that sound like a pretty good definition of three stars? .

Went to Greenstreet yesterday afternoon for a late (important to note; read on) lunch with my brother and his fiancé. Never was a huge fan, but it had been a while since I'd ben and since it was suggested, just sucked it up and went....My experience is exactly why my instinct generally dictates my actions. 1. The service was ridiculously SLOW. It was rainy and nearly 3pm. The Grove thrives on walking traffic; there were maybe 30% of tables filled in the back room and a few others watching world cup at bar. 2. Had to ask for bread plates and place settings. 3. We ordered 2 salads and a lasagna. You'd think they had to go pick the greens themselves as long as it took. No exaggeration; took 52 minutes to get our food with a less than half full restaurant and the simplest of dishes ordered 4. When the food FINALLY arrives my salmon and my future sister in law's chicken were both COLD. Cah-learly they had prepared our proteins first and just had it sitting in the window. When waitress comes by to ask 'how is everything', I tell her and she admits what happens with no offer to fix it. Space cadet... 5. HAIR IN FOOD. There was a hair in my sister's salad and we had to,of course, take it back. i, too, lost my appetite and stopped eating 6. Very warm. They keep the door opens I guess to keep a breezy feel, but if you choose to do so, you must not be cheap on the A/C. We are in the midst of hurricane season in miami. it is hot and humid. Up the air. Had to request to turn the air up. We were literally forming sweat beads on our forehead (salmon too cold; restaurant too warm...go figure) 6. Now to the food....MEDIOCRE AT BEST. Had the service and temperature of BOTH THE FOOD AND THE ESTABLISHMENT been to standards; I would have excused the basic food as an off day, but uhhh never again. Lesson Learned: Stick to your gut. Subpar Food. Subpar Service. No clue how they are still in business.

Ahi tuna salad is very good. Watch out for the goat cheese pizza - while tasty, it can be overcooked. I would also get rid of those posters containing close-ups of miserable people. Not appetizing or tasteful.

Went for dinner at 8 on a Sunday night. Only 2 other couples sitting inside, though the place was packed outside/in the bar area. It seemed because it was so bare inside, staff forgot to come back in... we waited 10+ minutes for anyone to come to our table, after we'd been seated. Once he got there though, the waiter consistently came back and was friendly. As for the food: the hummus lacked any flavor at all, I'd suggest a different appetizer. The salmon was delicious, and the lobster ravioli was good, although the sauce really overwhelmed the lobster itself. Our drinks were all delicious, the raspberry lemon drop was my favorite. The tres leches cake was also delicious. Overall, I'd go back just to repeat the salmon, lemon drop and cake! And I'd like to try some other appetizers and entrees, the place is worth checking out. It's very cute inside as well, a great date spot.

very disappointed with GreenStreet. definitely not what it usto be. the portions have gotten smaller and the quality of the food has gone down tremendously. Im allergic to MSG and just discovered that they put MSG on everything!!! Salad dressings, chicken, pizza, calamari. You are basically paying to get sick. Horrible! Very disappointing!

How have I waited so long and not gone to this Coconut Grove staple? Its ok, it was worth the wait! The only reason I did not give this place a full 5 stars was that the service was not so good at the time. We waited a long time for someone to come to our table just to get our drinks, only to have another waiter realize we had not been helped. When our waiter finally did arrive to take our order, it took a very long time to get any follow up. We ordered hazelnut syrup, this was not provided. When trying to remind our server of this, couldnt find him and it took him a really long time to come by again to check on us. Same thing for requesting the check, getting the check, and getting it paid. I finally had to stand up and walk to the front service to pay my bill, only to be intercepted by my waiter. And then another wait to sign my card... that aside, the food was very good! Highly recommend Steve's Banana Pancakes and the Jamaican Jerk eggs. I would also like to point out that breakfast potatoes are pretty standard and are nothing to be excited for usually...but here...they stand out! I want to go again just to repeat the exact items I ordered ...but I will be sure to get a different waiter.

Had their chocolate french toast. It's not on the menu so you have to specifically ask for it. It was nice that real semisweet chocolate bars were inside the french toast but I was hoping that it would be dipped in chocolate. It was okay.
(3)Monica R.
Nice place to have some drinks and apps. Dont leave until you try the fries! SOOO GOOD!!! Can get pricey but the food is definitely worth it, specially if you have the fries! I had the lamb burger with goat cheese with fries....it was good but I would have preferred the good ole angus...next time...because I will definitely be back ....for more fries. If you have friends/family in town definitely stop buy for drinks and people watching...they wont forget it...or the fries. truffle fries. The End.

Last night I went to GreenStreet Cafe with a large group to celebrate a friend's birthday. So often when we go out to other restaurants, the service is lousy and figuring out checks is a mess. Earlier in the week a reservation was made at GreenStreet Cafe for 20 people; however, a couple of days later we were told the reservation could only be kept if everyone ordered from a fixed, pre-determined menu - which is not what we wanted to do. We decided to go to GreenStreet Cafe anyway but anticipated having some issues as a group of 20 people without a reservation. When we arrived, the restaurant seemed to be fairly busy (Saturday 8pm). Even so, the staff managed to put together tables to seat 20 people with minimal wait time. As more friends trickled in, GreenStreet Cafe allowed us to add more tables and chairs to accommodate our growing group. We were fortunate to have Justin as our waiter for the evening. Justin was absolutely wonderful. He had a great attitude and was very responsive. I can't say enough good things about Justin because I was so impressed with the service. I will definitely be going back to GreenStreet Cafe and asking to sit in Justin's section :)

Awful service! Went for Brunch they told us they would text us when the table is ready. When I arrived to the table they messed up and the table was not available. Then the staff particularly the Manager became very rude telling me and my kids to go back outside. My 7 year old crying and they wouldn't even bring us an OJ to calm her down.
(1)Brooke B.
Went here tonight for date night with my boyfriend. We were looking for something casual. There was no wait, and we asked to sit outside. The waiter was great, super nice and friendly. The food came out quickly and the flatbread was delicious...super thin and crispy crust. Just as our entrees came out, I started to get bitten by bugs. The waiter immediately escorted us to a table inside and moved all our food and drinks inside and was very nice about it! Good food, good service, I'll be back!
(5)Julian H.
Drove all the way from Kendall for their Brie Puff Pastry and Meat Lasagne and they were out of BOTH. I was so upset and our server did nothing about it. Such a shame and waste of time..
(1)She Wolf B.
How is it even possible that a restaurant with a french owner can't properly prepare brie? it was a cold gelatinous mess on first pass, a gritty scrambled egg like mess on the second, needless to say we were unwilling to chance a third...we left, never to return!
(1)Leyna O.
This was my first time in green street and it was delicious food but the service was awful. The hostesses were great and very professional but the server barely paid attention to our table and it took more than 30 minutes to get our food. The managers were all over the place and seem like they have no idea what they are doing. There was a bad smell coming from what seemed to be the staff room and the restaurant was not very clean or taken care of. I don't plan on returning.

I've been hearing about this place forever and I finally got to check it out for brunch. There was some good, some bad but overall it was a decent experience. This place gets very packed and most of the seating is outdoors, and it being Miami in January, it was very hot. There were no fans in sight except for one right above our table that was grimy and disgusting, and I'm sure if we had asked them to turn it on, it would have blown nasty black stuff all over our food. So we sat in the heat instead. If I had seen the menu before going, I might have suggested another place because it is the most unremarkable thing. It's like they took a Denny's menu and upgraded the quality. (Who goes out to brunch to order continental breakfast?!) I ordered a ham and cheese omelette and a Heavenly Street, which was a raspberry flavored champagne cocktail. That was delicious. The omelette was equally great, also a very healthy portion. It came with potatoes and toast. I ordered white, I got wheat. Why even ask then? The "potatoes" are nothing more than cubed fries. They're good but nothing spectacular. We asked the server for ketchup a couple of times. When she brought it out, she gave us one tiny cup of it, even though there were 5 of us and almost all of us had fries. Even though the food is great, I'm not totally convinced I would ever go back here. I can get a decent cheese omelette wherever.
(3)Steve C.
So disappointing. This is my first negative review as a Yelper. I've been to Greenstreet many times, and for the most part I'd rate them 3.5 to 4 stars. Today's brunch was horrible. Our party of 4 were welcomed by the waiter within an acceptable timeframe..he took our drink order, brought water and then vanished, never to be seen again. We asked another server, Maria, to come to our rescue. She was the bright spot...friendly, attentive and apologetic. We once again ordered our drinks and placed our food orders. Given they were slammed, let's overlook that it took 30 minutes to get our food...basically egg dishes. To a person, each of our egg dishes were significantly over cooked...and cold. It almost seemed like they had been pre-cooked hours earlier. When you order a cheese omelette and the cheese is not gooey...it's a bad sign. The potatoes...oh the potatoes. I've always said there's nothing better than French fries that are hot out of a fryer,...and nothing worse than cold fries. The same goes for home fries. Today's home fries were cold, chewy and overcooked. On the good side, I wasn't tempted to eat them..thus maintaining a New Years resolution. The atmosphere was great...but for breakfast/brunch we'll be finding other venues.

Very tasty fresh dolphin. Good service - better people watching. Get the artichoke and enjoy
(4)Odalys A.
Food was good , but service i do not want to remember, after almost 15 minutes , we had water and bread over the table, them another 15 minutes to order a botle of wine, the fried calamary we order to start was served in another table , so wait time was longer than 25 minutes and not only that , we order a second bottle of wine, but never was served , we ask for the ticket and they charged for the wine we never received, so the server noticed that and she ask if we still want it , she never apologized for tthe horrible service we received. I will never want to go back.
(2)Diego A.
Excellent service for families, I was there this morning my son broke a glass and they were as nice as anybody can be. The food fuel me for the rest of the day, and I am writing this review because of that. Excellent french bread, baguettes and omelets. I liked it a lot...
(4)Aaron W.
This place is always a must for late night dining. We started out with the caramelized onion flat bread and a strawberry lychee martini. The cocktail was great. I found myself drinking most of her first drink and ordering a set for the both of us.the flatbread had great flavor but it seemed to dry overall. It was in need of some oil or sauce to be complete. Next we shared the lobster ravioli. It was tasty with a really good sauce. The pasta was creamy and cooked to perfection but was lacking enough lobster. Overall I love this place. You just have to try everything and see what works for you.
(4)Evelyn L.
I LOVE this place!!! I've taken all my friends & co-workers here. The food is amazing & the service is great. My only complaint is that the hostesses can sometimes be snarky. But overall I love the place. I've been coming here for years now. My friends even make jokes that I should possibly become part owner. Whenever people in Coconut Grove ask me where they should go eat. I immediately send them here. GreenStreet has tons of variety. I've tried several things on the menu & have yet to be dissapointed. This is definitely a staple here in Coconut Grove. The quality is great & the service fast. If I decided to move out of the state this is definitely a place I would miss. Also, if you are ever in the inside bar.. Amy is the best!!! I've had times when I've had a pick up order & I got there a few minutes before it was done. Amy immediately is accomdating. She'll let me know of all the delicious drinks on the menu that I should try while waiting. I have immediately spent more money, because of her. It was money well spent. Because she made me never want to leave & just hang out with everyone else there. Great atmosphere!
(5)Gabriel S.
Owney's BottomLine: Outdoor seating, great brunch and beautiful people. F' yeah! My girlfriend and I had a pretty stressful week with work so we were elated to find this gem for a fantastic brunch. I ordered the scrambled eggs with jerk spice with homefries, a side of chorizo and added a cappuccino. This hit the spot and dinning outside in such perfect weather made this even better. She got the chocalate french toast which may have been to rich/sweet for her. She enjoyed it, but it wasnt her favorite. I enjoyed it, but it did require a strong sweet tooth. Keep in mind the portions are significant and you will get full.
(4)William G.
The best choice for a Grove sidewalk seat, we love this place. Our cheerful server, Justin, was more than helpful with vegan modifications. Fig salad - no cheese - perfect balance of flavors, not overdone. As always, it was AWESOME.
(5)George H.
This place really is great a bit noisy if you eat inside. The place is very fresh the only reason for the 3 stars is the price felt to high and I was only there for breakfast and the food was basic things noting extravagant
(3)Stacy A.
I absolutely love the red couches outside, and the huge red couch inside! A great breakfast spot that also doubles as a great place for drinks for girls night out! The decorations are very cool! Tasty food, but some of it can be a little pricy. Definitely a staple of the grove and always has a fun night. Usually good for large groups, but once our waiter completely messed up splitting the bill among multiple cards and had a bad attitude about it. But other waiters have been decent.
(4)Trina C.
Not good for lunch! We originally intended to come here for brunch, but we were running late and when we got there the waitress said they were going to stop breakfast in about 10 minutes, so we just went with lunch. Bad choice. All three of us ordered pastas. We had the penne tetrazzini and the linguine with shrimp. They were very mediocre and very salty! Way too salty. We ordered the humus appetizer which tasted bland. We will be going back for breakfast / brunch but as far as lunch goes, go somewhere else.
(2)Millie G.
My husband and I went here for brunch it was delicious! I had the Nutella waffles and it was hard to not order another one. Try it if you have a sweet tooth like I do. My husband ordered their scrambled eggs with salsa, which he loved! I tried it and it was, but not as good as my waffles. He also ordered a jack and coke and surprising it wasn't a small cup and it was strong. I was very impressed.
(5)Joanna R.
This review is strictly for Sunday brunch. Pet friendly. Great location. Long wait but great service. Very interesting people watching. Three words, red velvet pancakes! One more word: Perfection.
(5)Andres C.
Great brunch place. Love the ambiance. Perfect place for a bloody mary and a burger on a Sunday!
(4)Stephen L.
Great place for the blueberry pancakes if you like a sweet breakfast or the jerk scrambled eggs if you want some spice. Top it off with a Bloody Maria and you have the perfect breakfast.
(5)Oriana O.
I absolutely love this place! My boyfriend and I have gone a handful of times and always enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, great food, and classy details. I have tried their omelettes, potatoes, pancakes, nutella french toast, mushroom sandwhich, lattes, and so on. All mouth watering. The presentation is great and it tastes great!
(5)Joshua M.
This has been one of my favorite restaurants for at least three years now. We eat there a few times each month. The food is consistently good and, in fact, the food has been improving lately. However, I am upset that they got rid of the mixed berry cobbler. I've eaten it for dessert regularly and it was something most restaurants don't offer as opposed to the brownie with vanilla ice cream (which I also enjoy by the way). Management, if you're reading this: I'm not happy about that decision!! P.S. shout out to vlad our server who ran half a block to bring us our forgotten leftovers.
(4)April W.
A great decent place for just a regular breakfast. Nothing fancy, food was good. Exactly what you are looking for after a long night and do not want to think too much about what you are eating. Had a delish omlet with some good potatoes and a nice glass og oj. perfect in every way and exactly what I was looking for.
(4)Danielle H.
Went last night for an early dinner with friends and it was just ok. We had the calamari appetizer, greek salad, Penne Tetrazzini and Penne Bolognese. My Greek salad was nothing special, My one friend had to put salt on her Tetrazzini and her husband cleaned the plate of his bolognese. They do have happy hour twice a day, every day at 5-7 and 11-12 or 1. The mojitos were decent but overall there menu and food wasnt really exciting. Probably would not go out of my way to eat there again.
(3)Olga T.
love the food, always fresh and yummy!!! Service has declined a little bit, but it's still good. Can't beat brunch there! one of our favorites are the jerk Casar chicken salad, not on the menu, but they always make it for us.
(4)Ryan G.
I love Greenstreet. Great food and location. I have been going there with friends and family for years. But I have to say, after eating there tonight and getting up charged $2.50 for adding cheese and $1.50 to add nuts - all this to a $15 salad (now $19), I think they have become too expensive. Sorry Greenstreet, but you lost a star and I think my visits will become less frequent. I hope you consider making your food more affordable!
(3)Melodee R.
Don't understand how other restaurants fail, yet this place continues. My husband owned a restaurant for 20 years and still scratches his head over this place. Last time we went was for breakfast. Seriously, scrambled eggs with potato cubes and bland toast, with a tasteless cup of coffee. The absolute worst part of this experience is the noise from the trucks coming down Commodore Plaza to make their morning deliveries. Not only can you not carry on a conversation (had to ask the waitress to hold on until the idling truck moved on), but you're breathing in diesel fumes with every mouthful. Diesel and eggs is not my idea of a good morning meal. Forget about the pigeons or the gross brick sidewalk that can't be pressure-washed since the sidewalk is really the only place to eat (unless you want to eat in the crypt). Service is fine, but I always think the waitstaff has alterior motives for working there (like maybe finding a lead to a better job?)
(1)Greg C.
Great place for breakfast, as long as you have time to wait as there is often a line. French toast is the dish to get, and just a half order is plenty unless you are absolutely starving. Iv'e had it many times and it is always good, fluffy and substantial at the same time. So be prepared for a wait if it's on the weekend, and avoid the dinner menu (as others have said it's not bad, just over priced and nothing special). Outside is a fun place to people watch and the inside in interesting also, with creepy little figures adorning the walls/ceiling -anyone remember the 80's horror movie The Gate? Picture those creepy little demons things and you get the idea.
(3)Melanie E.
A Grove classic on the corner with sidewalk couches and coffee tables to better watch the passers by. The menu is nothing to jump up and down about, but the food is good (except for the lamb burger, baaad, can't recommend it except maybe for your doggies - they do allow pets). All in all, a solid choice for brunch or evening appetizers.
(4)Marie M.
GreenStreet Cafe is located in the grove where senior frogs used to be For some reason I always get more excited about coming to this place than when I actually arrive but not to say I don't have a good time because I've never had a bad time here. The food is good, good size for your buck the last time I went here I had a duck salad that I really enjoyed and some good drinks. The service has always been really, really good to me. I always see good looking people here. This place has a very laid back vibe, you look around and see everyone just chilling out in their own element talking enjoying themselves. It has really funky decor that I like because I like funky interesting stuff but if you've read some of the reviews on this place you'll notice something come up again, and again that would be the furniture being a tad icky and in some need of some TLC. I know when I go to a place one of the things I don't want to have to worry about is getting lice or some sort of secretion stick to me especially when the place is ment for kicking back and enjoying yourself. To me greenstreet is a meet up place to start your night or more so for me a early afternoon get together place to enjoy nice Miami weather.
(4)Jacob R.
Way to many people in one area at night. I did like the couches outside however.
(2)Lisa C.
Great spot for outside dining, especially with friends or on a date. It's a sexy spot with velvet sofas and tables where you can share a meal. Food portions are generous for the price, the decor is very cozy and there is plenty of outside dining space. I had the pasta with chicken in pink sauce, prepared well but a tad bland. They should try the same dish with a spicy arrabiata sauce and WOW! Or add some spice. But it was good. a little salt took it to the right level. Drinks are made strong so make sure if it's not to your liking tell them. some bartenders mistake a good drink for lots of alcohol. The wings are AMAAAAAZING. Not sloppy and drenched in sauce. Nice meaty and neat with a blackened outside and just the right amount of heat. Salads and fries also great! Can't go wrong with this spot.
(4)Jennifer F.
Stop thinking Miami is a rude city. It is when you drive. I am not sure what happens to drivers behind a wheel, but GreenStreet is a great example of how people in Miami are really nice. The service was really great. People were nice and helpful and the bloody marys are awesome. I really liked the french fries as well. I really like how you can wait on the couches and watch Coconut Grove go by and I think the food is really decent. Still not a fan of the artichoke. It needs some seasoning. Go for drinks, brunch and a nice leisure day a Miami. ;)
(3)Kendall B.
When I wake up hung-over, there are two things that I always crave: (1) a large glass of ice water; and (2) an omlette from Greenstreet. In my opinion, Greenstreet serves the best all around (and most reasonably priced) breakfast in the Miami area. Of course there are incredible brunches at the Biltmore and various South Beach hotels, but those are like $60 per person and unfeasible for every day (for a college kid no less!). Greenstreet on the other hand, will only cost you about $10 for breakfast and it is incredible...the omlettes especially! They are 3 egg omlettes cooked to perfection (not runny) served with your choice of grits, tomatoes, or home fries. I don't care if you are on a diet or don't normally order potatoes, but you MUST try these home fries because they are the best I have EVER tasted! You also get your choice of a toasted French baguette (my personal favorite), English muffin, rye toast, or bagel. It is a very substantial amount of food for the price. However, the best part about Greenstreet is that breakfast is conveniently served every day until 2:45 in the afternoon, which allows me some time to sleep off my hangover. But for those of you who can't kick the hangover before getting there, Greenstreet supposedly makes some of the best Bloody Marys to help beat it. I wouldn't know personally because I'm not a Bloody Mary fan, but look around on a Saturday or Sunday morning and almost everyone is sipping either a coffee or Bloody Mary so they are popular. If you find yourself getting to Greenstreet past the breakfast hour, don't worry because they also have delicious salads. My favorite is the Roman Salad with spring mix, feta, and cherry tomatoes, tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette. I always ask for grilled jerk chicken on top too, which is really my favorite part of any salad I order there. The chicken is thinly sliced down on a diagonal and is always served warm. They have regular grilled chicken too but I encourage you to get the jerk because the spice rub is so flavorful. Also, this is a restaurant that you don't have to ask for dressing on the side because their salads are dressed to perfection...always. Another one of my favorite things at Greenstreet are the chips with guacamole and salsa, which are great to start. The chips are homemade and lightly salted, and the guacamole has a terrific lemony flavor (there is always tension at the table when it comes down to who will eat the last few chips). For a hot entrée, the Mushroom Triangole is very good. It is mushroom filled ravoli served in a creamy porcini sauce...yumm! The Chicken Vegetable Tofu Stir-Fry is also awesome and a really unique spin on stir-fry because the sauce it not your typical brown soy based sauce, but instead a light curry flavored sauce. Make sure that your hungry though because the portion is huge!! Basically, the only thing that I would not order from Greenstreet is the Chicken Provencial because the tomato sauce is not very authentic or homemade tasting, but everything else that I have tried here has been great. As for the atmosphere of the place, on a nice day it could not be better. Greenstreet has a lot of outdoor seating on a nice corner in Coconut Grove so it is prime for people watching and enjoying the weather. There are large umbrellas to provide shade and the tables are comfortable. The inside of the place is much smaller and feels more like a library or a study with the large bookcases that adorn the walls (its cozy), but I prefer to sit outside so try to go on a nice day or night. If you do go at night you'll find that Greenstreet also has a great bar scene, and they are known for the red velvet couches lining the sidewalk that bring the lounge atmosphere outdoors. The mojitos are great and all drinks are half off after 11, so it's very cheap (like $5 a drink). Overall, Greenstreet is one of my favorite places to go in Miami because you can stay all day there and have something going on (I once did stay for 8 hours straight with a group of friends, ordering breakfast, then drinks, and then lunch and it was a blast!!). Ohhh and on top of it all, the service is great so you cannot go wrong!!

An ideal place for small group dinners, evening drinks and dates! We have always enjoyed this place for the outside seating, tables for meals, and actual couches along the side walk for drinks. Plus the main bar is outside but well covered, so weather is never an issue for some type of outdoor eating/drinking. My friend who is an avid scotch drinker has always been pleased with the selections, as a gin drinker I always enjoy trying the varieties the bar has. Smoking cigarettes and cigars is allowed on the sidewalk area. The menu, like most Miami restaurants, has a large selection or meat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes, so everyone will be happy. Though some of the dishes have rather small portions. There is a weekend brunch menu that I enjoy, fairly basic, but always well prepared. Plus, there is the added perk of being able to sit outside on a quiet morning across the street from a park, and on slow moving early morning streets. Note, even when we go in groups of 7 or 8, for drinks or food, the service is always top notch and the meals always come out at the same time. Kudos to the kitchen.
(5)Brad A.
So I think a lot of people like it here because its a place to see and be seen--especially on Sunday mornings--but I actually like it for the food and atmosphere also. It's a popular brunch spot for good reason; the breakfast food (pancakes--my favorite, omelets, coffee, fruit smoothies) is excellent and served in big portions. It's also just a cool place to sit outside and relax and take in a nice morning. Inside isn't bad either, but its dark and I kid you not I've gone with several people who think the decor is weird, especially the "creepy" little man sculptures all over the place. Green Street is also not bad for lunch; burgers are decent and some of the sandwiches (fish wrap, cajun chicken) are quite good. Never been for dinner, but at night it can turn into a pretty good spot to go out. It seems like it used to get more crowded and crazy at night back when I was in high school a few years ago (especially on Thursdays), but it's still nice to grab a few drinks and chill on those red couches. All in all, a solid place in the Grove.

Great date place, the couches are fun and it gives great place to just talk and enjoy Miami. I went around 10p and enjoyed some drinks (recommend the Mojito) and calamari as an appetizer - both were great.

Greenstreet is your go to place for a good meal or a place to meet up for a drink. It has a lot of outdoor seating which is great when the weather is nice. I've only had the salads and brunch but both were great and very satisfying. Fun place, and very laid back.
(4)Alex B.
The breakfast I had was great. I tried the scrambled eggs with salsa. It wasn't spicy at all like the menu said, still very good. The onion bagel with chive cream cheese was good too. The service is usually pretty bad but I go back because of the food.

Do you all remember that Miami weekend three-weeks ago, first week of October it was 65 degrees, sun shining, blue sky, puffy white clouds and a nice comforting breeze to bring it all together on this Sunday morning. It is wonderful when a plan comes together. GF and I went to mass down the road, feeling rather glorious and happy to be alive, we decided to take in the Grove all it had to offer. The many dogs weren't even fighting. Lycra bound cyclist zipping by. The fortunate gray-haired types "cruising" in their rolling steel sculptures of Italian decadence. No sweating going on today. How about that mainstay the Green Street Cafe. Appropriately enough it was pajama day and the staff was looking comfy. We paid a few bucks to park next door, approached the hostess stand and noticed at least 20 parties ahead of us had the same culinary desire this day. No problem -this is where properly run restaurants show their true colors-table after table of happy customer were being turned, we had no problem in standing around for 15-20 minutes (again no sweating), even the fans were off. Plus the smell of home fries kept us engaged and eyeing tables that were about to clear out. The beautiful hostess calls out our name and we declare ourselves front and center. A few parties before us could not be found (aww) so we wanted to reward the hostess for their persistence. Great two-top table in the middle of the action (again dogs at peace with each other). Incredibly friendly server with a phenomenal disposition and personality. We knew what we wanted two orders of Eggs Benedict 8.5/10, Cafe con Leches -nice Lavazza brand coffee used, HOME FRIES, golden brown, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Although there was a long line at hostess stand we never felt rushed. It was nice flow. Had an extra shot of espresso to take on the rest of Cocowalk. Later had a pitcher of Mimosa across the street.

I love going to GreenStreet for Brunch. I like to sit outside on a nice cool Miami morning! (during fall, winter and early spring of course) The french toast with the maple syrup is one of my favorite. I know it's always swamped during the weekend, but can the service get better and more consistent? I am not a hard person to please when it come to service, all you need to do is come check on us if we need refill on the coffee, water or juice, is that too much to ask? I guess I am a sucker or it's because it's close to my house or maybe for the mediocre service......yes I will go back to eat there.
(4)Nicole L.
Seated in the corner across from a french restaurant, both restaurants compete for customer servers on standby by the street calling to people walking by. Eventually it was decided the green st cafe because they served pasta. I ordered the linguini and clams in red wine sauce. The pasta and sauce were good, there were plenty of clams in the pasta six with shells and the rest without I thought it was a nice touch and I was surprised to fish more and more clams out of the pasta.
(3)Ray F.
We were a group of six persons that waited for over 90 minutes to be seated. As the hostess guided us to our table, she was told that the manager gave away our table to a 'regular' customer, and that unfortunately, we would have to simply wait for another table. I was shocked that management could be so discourteous and unprofessional. Furthermore, to be so bold to tell customers this, as if they didn't matter. The employees who were aware of what had happened were visibly embarrassed and dumfounded by the managers' action. The assistant manager offered free Mimosa's, then increased his offer to 50% off the tab. The truth is, even if it were free, we would not have stayed. Obviously, we will never ever go back there.

GreenStreet Cafe is a Coconut Grove staple that's been around for ages. The location is excellent for people watching and is popular for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour. I frequently go for breakfast/brunch on the weekends and will often have drinks with friends on the "lounge" side at night. I find the the food and service to be consistently good, although I would like to see them change up the menu from time to time.
(4)Sara X.
Great place for brunch. I love the chocolate french toast!! The chocolate is inside the bread rather than just some source on the surface. My boyfriend ordered egg benedict, which was pretty good! Tables are outside and alone the street but not very noisy. Enjoyed a breakfast with sunshine in Miami was an wonderful experience especially for an escaper from the cold Philly. Price was fair, smoothy was fine too!
(4)Torrey R.
Well take 2 Ginkgo biloba and call me in the morning. I've been by here and even eaten here a time or two in the evening yet never knew they served such a good breakfast nor the name of the place. Eggs Florentine, blue berry pancakes and a mimosa. Ah. Finally a great breakfast close to home. I can ride my bicycle here and after a breakfast like that will need to ride much farther to work it off. Eat inside with comfortable seating and a/c or enjoy the fresh air outside and watch the people walking around. A menu for everyone with a cheap and simple eggs and toast to the breakfast budge and diet breaker that I had and more.
(4)Karen H.
I am a bit biased as I have been coming to eat here since the late 90's but I love this place. I have eaten various items on their breakfast/brunch and lunch menu and I have never been disappointment, food quality is very consistently good. The service for the most part is OKAY but I have had my occurrences of slow/poor service; I'm usually not in a hurry as I am catching up with friends/family or I bring a newspaper. The location and environment are great...I always sit outside. Overall my favorite place for brunch in Miami.

GreenStreet is *thee* patio café of Coconut Grove. Disagree with me? Fine! Go ahead and take it up with the hoards of local lunchers crammed into the lush, umbrella-canopied porch almost every day of the week. It's actually so popular that the owner felt the need to expand his empire across Commodore Plaza into the old Mambo's spot which is now Lulu's. Finally, that corner of Main Highway is all his. His! BWHAHAHAAHA! Don't *F* with the power of the GS! For the all the drunkos reading this, they've got two-for-one mojito happy hour on Tuesdays and Whiskey Wednesdays which has recently become pretty popular amongst the college-sect. But it isn't the drink menu - although their watermelon lemonade and just-right Bloody Marys are pretty stellar - that keeps the crowds thick (as in masses, not fat asses...although eating here too often can bring on the chunk). It's their egg Benedict, French toast, solid burgers, and pastas that all come in Cheesecake Factory-size portions that preserve this place's title as the ultimate people-watching spot in the Grove. My favorite thing here, though, is their large, hearty salads like the Fig that comes with aged cheese and caramelized pecans. I also always get side of jerk chicken to plop on top of that leafy sucker, because, well, it's awesome, and a bowl of their low fat zucchini basil soup - it's souperific! Or souper-sonic. Okay, I can't believe I just typed that. Now I'm going to jump into a bathtub full of piranhas...in 3D.

Green Street is pretty cool. Its open air, which is great, but if you want to soke up some AC, the inside has a really unique baroque sort of decor. The food was good, decently priced and the service was very good. I haven't been here for breakfast/brunch yet, but I hear it is awesome. Thursday and Friday nights are fun at Green Street too (generally). Update: Went here for brunch this weekend, very reasonably priced but nothing spectacular about the food, its sort of hard to mess up eggs. Its nice to sit outside and people watch in the Grove.
(4)Jor-El G.
GreenStreet gets 4 stars for their affordable, generously portioned, good-ass breakfast. It was my first experience here and it was a very satisfying one. I also had their new mexican soup which I recommend heavily because it was that good. I had a ham and cheese omelette which was pretty big and came with potatoes and toast. I sampled some of my friends' plates and they were all good as well. Their Bloody Mary was yummy and strong. A+ choice for a hangover.
(4)Cristy M.
Best bloody Mary in town and the Egg whites with Jerk Spices were Delish'
(4)Josh M.
Very good breakfast location. The outside seating is shaded and they have plenty of fans.
(5)Nicole H.
HUEVOS RANCHEROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (eggs with salsa as its written on the menu) I could not get enough! SO MUCH food and I ate EVERY bite!!!!! I arrived to a long line and a FULL house. I gave my name and worried that I would not sit down in time to eat and my stomach would actually, eat itself. I started to walk up to the hostess to ask "How long will ..." "NICOLE" She called my name! I was seated immediately! I have been here before on a "diet" or for a meeting (BAH) so, never really got to enjoy a real, stick-to-your-ribs breakfast BUT, this time it was different. The service was quick, the waitress, friendly and the food came out hot and Fresh! I ordered the huevos rancheros with an everything bagel which comes automatically with tiny potatoes. The food was spectacular, I have been randomly texting friends with HUEVOS RANCHEROS all week since saturday. They were that good and I dont care how crazy I seem. LOVE!
(4)Joy I.
Mediterranean plate is a good light lunch.
(3)Gabriel P.
Green Street... How I would love to love this place for brunch, but I dont. Bottom line probably the most overrated brunch in Miami. The eggs benedict are subpar and the breakfast in general is just average yet there is always an hour wait and people seem to rave about this place like it is the second coming. I strongly feel that people just like to sit out there on Sunday morning just to be seen looking fabulous on a busy corner. It gets 3 stars because I do enjoy their lunch menue. Good paninis and great burgers.
(3)Brian M.
Great scenery, and phenomenal brunch. Everything I've had on the brunch menu has been very satisfying. Only downside is the wait, but, a mimosa at the bar fixes all that! :)
(4)Thea S.
Their breakfast potatoes are unforgettable. The rest of the breakfast I've had has been good. Not mindblowing, but good.
(4)Saira T.
Every time I stay in Coconut Grove I go here for breakfast! I've never sat inside because it's been great weather every time I'm in Miami. Great breakfast, great service. I love getting egg whites "jerk" style. And it helps that it's very reasonable prices.
(5)Christina C.
Two different sides to this place... a) Sunday morning brunch: This place is wonderful for brunch; on a nice day you can sit outside and enjoy the warm sun. They make excellent omelettes and serve great mimosas. A little pricey, but very enjoyable. Watch out for people passing by with VERY large animals... aka, dogs, snakes, etc. b) Thurs/Fri/Sat night hangout: This is the people-watching place. When the Grove is packed, Greenstreet is out of out hand! You can't get a table, they even have guardrails up to keep you out of the street. But, on a quieter weekend evening, you can sit, have a nice bottle of wine, and enjoy some simple appetizers: fruit and cheese platter, the mediterranean platter with humus and pita, or a well-portioned salad. The wine selection is good and reasonably priced so you can even enjoy a bottle. Really enjoyable without the meat market crowd.
(3)Marilyn E.
Great place for Sunday brunch, people watching and mimosas, I loved the outdoor seating. The food was good especially the mushroom pizza, we had an excellent waitress named Stephanie she was on top of her game! Considering it was packed she gets 5 stars! I love great service, food and ambiance.
(4)Estercita S.
I have had several business breakfasts here, and this is a lovely place, with a nice menu varitey for breakfast, excellent service, great people watching, and generally good vibe. I highly recommend it..... I had the banana pancakes and were perfect- cafe con leche, also perfect, wIfi while I waited and the best waiter ever
(4)Lourdes W.
Come with an appetite, time, and a desire for al fresco. During Sunday brunch, you'll be in for a wait, but well worth it. The time you wait for table is made up by how fast you're served. They gave a generous portion of nova (salmon) eggs benedict with potatoes --delicious. The pancakes looked amazing, but I don't think it would have fit on our bistro table or our stomachs. Seating is outside and the tables are close enough to hold conversations with others, if you like that sort of thing. Lastly, this place is pup friendly...Lily and Pixie approve.
(4)Alice C.
This place is extremely over hyped. The brunch fair was like bad room service. The eggs Benedict were horrible from the sauce to the potatoes. The fruit salad was old and slimy. The OJ was NOT fresh squeezed. This was my first and last time.
(1)Christie K.
Just learned that the offending cigar smoking idiot was asked to leave!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now, I can resume my thrice weekly visits.
(5)Agustina P.
Not only is the decor really fun, but the service is great and the food is even better!
(5)Brian W.
Everything was hot and fresh! Very good!!
(4)Chris T.
GreenStreet Cafe is a good crowd pleaser. They've got something for everyone, even someone who is vegan and gluten-free. There are enough items on the menu for a vegan who is also sans gluten not to feel too boxed in by limited options. We went for breakfast so this will color this review. The potatoes are fried in peanut oil so they're 'safe', The generous fruit plate and melon plates are also a good choice. The tomato, grits, oatmeal with cranberries or raisins and museli to the same tune were also lovely. They didn't have soy milk for the coffee (they normally do and their soy lattes are AMAZING!) but the coffee was still great. Omnivore friends said their eggs were "perfect". The omelete also seemed to please.The service was fast which is typical. We didn't have to wait for a table of 4 which per past experience is a little unusual. Everything was clean and done simply but well. I wouldn't go for myself but it's a good restaurant for groups with mixed dietary needs.

Excellent breakfast place!
(3)Alexi L.
If you've never been to Green Street and you live in Miami, you are living under a sad, sad rock. Green Street is the perfect place for breakfast, lunch, weekend crunch (crunk brunch), dinner and drinks! My favorites are the omelettes, mimosas (obviously), the goat cheese salad, and the tofu vegetable stirfry. The best time to go in my opinion is a sunday at noon. Expect a wait but it will be packed with cyclists, see or be seen types, families, hungover partiers... You name it, they're there. Night time is also a favorite. Half priced bottles of wine on mondays and great happy hour specials. Their mediterranean plate is to die for, too, and great for a monday night post-gym monday funday that is a must for my girl friend and I! Any day, any time, any company, green street is f-amazing! I am flabbergasted that its rated with 3.5 stars overall. Don't let that discourage you-- GO!
(5)A S.
I didn't get a great impression of this place. Service was extremely slow and our table was dirty when we sat down until 7 min later that someone finally came to clean it. No even a hello. Drinks were Ok. Nothing special. Food is also OK. Overrated. There are a bunch of better places to spend this kind of money. Bah.
(2)Eloisa G.
Great food, good service, nice ambiance, laid back vibe and good people watching. Great breakfast! Green Street is pretty darn consistently good!
(4)Cat F.
This is my fav Sunday morning treat. Nothing yummier than a mimosa and a veggie omlet. Great service, great people, great ambiance, GREAT ALL AROUND. LOVE IT-everyone should visit :)
(5)Paula E.
GreenStreet cafe is a good place to have lunch, specially if you like people watching....sitting outside always makes for a great lunch date. It's also a really good place if you are a vegetarian, they have some great appetizers like the lentil salad and the grilled asparagus, and some great salads and veggie wraps for entrees. If you go and their soup of the day is Ginger-Carrot YOU MUST TRY A BOWL!! its delicious...but for the most part, its nothing out of this world, the prices are really steep for what they offer, and if you sit inside for whatever reason the service tends to be slower. Also it feels stuffy in there because of the velvet decor. Overall its probably one of the best places to eat at the Grove, but I probably wouldn't go there more than twice a year.
(3)Jacob C.
This place is really great...and super laid back. I love going here and sitting out at the tables on the sidewalk and have some drinks and food. The food quality at GreenStreet is really good...and it is a nice alternative when you want to get something a little healthier after a late night in the grove instead of fast food or something else that isn't too healthy for you. They have a really good drink special on Wednesday's...$5 Dewars 12 or Black Label. Give this place a try if you want a place to get a good bite to eat with good drinks thats really laid back and you can enjoy the ambiance of the grove.
(4)Daniel L.
Because I've only been here for breakfast, I can't say anything about their lunch or dinner offerings. However, I must say that their breakfast is great. Its not too pricey, and decent portions. Everything they do, they do pretty well, though I haven't been overwhelmed or had a "Wow" moment while eating there. The eggs benedict was good, the sauce wasn't broken(unlike another grove breakfast spot), but it wasnt anything extraordinary. The banana pancakes were pretty good, though for a full order, they give you only one small PACKAGE of syrup. 2 things. Packaged syrup? Even IHOP has warm syrup that they bring out. And as much as I love a great pancake, if you dont have enough syrup, whats the point. If I'm paying 9 dollars for pancakes, you could at least give me enough syrup to put on them...and not charge $1.25 for another serving of it. Shameful, really. Despite it all, what makes this place stand out is the ambience. There's something hugely satisfying about sitting outdoors on a weekend morning watching the world wake up. Its just a beautiful place to be in the morning and eating a decent meal. If you have an opportunity, take a loved one and head out there one morning. You won't be sorry.
(3)Lauren b.
horrible!!! disgusting and greasy! everything is terrible here! smell , look/style deco... I can't still understand why there is so much people at this place ! how people can write positive review on this crappy place! I had a Cajun Chicken Breast on a Bun .... my Gosh... the chicken was dry and tasted like old , the "homemade" CajunBlend was, in fact, from a plastic bottle or a can... The waiter had a horrible smell like he didn;t took a shower for 3 days... I went to the toilet... yeark!!!!!! and the smell inside the restaurant was a mixe between old water and chlorox and urine ... was my worst experience. Prices are ok , but still expensive for what you have to try to eat! In the Grove you have better place with real kitchen and chef , like Jaguar , Le Bouchon or George's . Greenstreet Cafe is a blurry copy of News Cafe
(1)Tony G.
Green Street is a dirty little place with numerous Board of Health violations; check out the channel 10 news website for the facts. The lamb burger though is excellent and it's a good place for people watching outdoors; this place is focal point in the grove based on the geometry of the streets but offset from Coco Walk. The place is dark at night. Like dinning in the dark. Guests, if you want to see the menu, bring a flashlight--"for reals." Come on--install some lighting and show off your food and service. Make it happy. The interior of the place really needs a good bleaching to kill all the bacteria and some remodeling, including the use of light fixtures rated at more than 5 watts/hour. Did I mention it was dirty? Every time I eat there I remember the Russian Roulette scene in the movie The Deer Hunter. "Maow!!! Maow!!!" Disturbing. :0) It has free WiFi, which is very cool.
(2)Naomi C.
Green Street gets an average rating from me because I can think of 10 better restaurants I'd rather eat at for the same price or less. Plus, the menu is so generic that there really is nothing to differentiate it or justify the cost.
(3)nicholas b.
I could live without there lunch and dinners, but there breakfast is hard to beat and the pricing pretty good. Is it me or is there always flies flying around at the outside tables. Actually do enjoy this place and have been here many times.
(4)Andy E.
It's late, it's Sunday night, we had the munchies, and an urge to be in a place that's a ALIVE with people - the night never ends at Greenstreet... Or just maybe you won't remember how it ended. Either way big red chairs at Greenstreet saved our night as we enjoyed some wine and savory hummus w/ warm pita while watching over the late night shenanigans in Coconut Grove.
(3)David S.
Always good, always reliable. GreenStreet always delivers. I usually go for the Caesar salad with jerk chicken, but I don't think I've ever ordered a dish here that I didn't like.
(5)Joseph G.
Liza was my waitress and she was awesome. She checked up on us and made sure that our drinks were always full. It's very refreshing to know that their are waitresses that genuinely care about the quality of my outing. I would definitely recommend coming here because it's a lot of fun and the staff is dedicated to making sure that you have a memorable experience.
(5)Misael N.
Great food great service. Must try the Nutella French toast !
(4)Luis D.
Went to Greenstreet last week for the first time and I would have to say that overall I had a great experience. I was surprised at how packed this place was on a weekday during the day. The food recommended by my waitress, Rebecca, was phenomenal. I am in love with the Nutella french toast!!! The only reason I didn't give a rating of 5 stars was because the food took a little longer than expected but our waitress was on top of it the whole time and kept us laughing while we waited. We will definitely be coming back for the Cinnamon pancakes. Great place to eat!!!
(4)Carrie R.
I honestly don't understand the hype about this place. The breakfast is alright- plus it's terribly overpriced. Food is not creative nor imaginative. Though our waiter was really nice it couldn't save this place from suffering the crime of most Miami hyped eateries. Pros: outdoor seating, pet friendly. Cons: overpriced fare, bland food, no fans- it's south florida for chrissakes!
(2)Enrique C.
My daughter wanted to celebrate her birthday here with her friends so I took her. Since it was weeknight there were plenty of tables inside. The people were very friendly and attentive. The appetizers, drinks, food and desserts were great. All the plates of food that we ordered were great. You can't go wrong with any of their plates. I highly recommend this restaurant.
(4)P S.
Have lived in the grove for 5+ years and greenstreet is always a favorite for drinks, dinner, and brunch. One Tuesday, my friends and I had a hankering for Indian food and decided to get a drink first at green street. Much to our dismay, Bombay darbar was closed (typically closed on Tuesday). While at the bar deciding what to do next and voicing our disappointment, the bartender suggested an off menu dinner item that must be included on the menu. Chicken piccata with the curry sauce (from the ravioli) over basmati rice. It was to die for. Dined again late last night and asked the waitor to see if the chef would accommodate this meal again, to which he happily complied. Our waitor suggested that if we post on yelp our chances of this delicious chicken dish may become a regular item on the menu. Please green street owner(s) add this deliciousness :)
(5)Y L.
I went there a couple nights ago with my mom and had such a great experience. Our food was delicious. I had the short ribs and my mom had the salmon. I never eat salmon but the sauce they put on it make it's amazing. We also shared the Brie starter which was so good. We experienced great customer service from Justin. He had such a good personality and was very knowledgable about the menu. It was my first time actually dining there and I'll definitely be back!
(5)John O.
Mediocrity, a term we have all gotten used to. Also a term this place has gotten more than comfortable with. Falling into what I call the "tar pit" that most restaurants fall into, Greenstreet charges premium prices for mediocre food and service. The drinks are pricey and easily beat anywhere in the grove. I know that the grove is up and coming but it's still a questionable place to chill. A bus trip from UM, expect the whole area to flood with drunk and horny college students Tuesday-Saturday after 9pm. My suggestion? Screw it, why try with Greenstreet
(2)Monica C.
My friends and I had breakfast here. The food was good, and the prices were reasonable. Service was okay. The restaurant has a warm, comfy atmosphere.
(4)Sylvia S.
Love this place. Great atmosphere and happy hour specials
(5)Robin C.
Absolutely love this place. The food is always beyond expectations, the service is excellent and the atmosphere is great. I often choose GreenStreet Cafe for special occasions. It never disappoints.
(5)Ralph G.
Brought the whole family here for Brunch on Memorial Day. They gave us a wait time of 45 minutes but we were seated in about 15 minutes. The server was attentive and gave good recommendations.. The food was tasty and well prepared. No real complaints.. the only drawback is pricing.. we spent about $22 per person.. which is a bit pricey for breakfast.
(4)Vivian Y.
Whether you want brunch or dinner, Greenstreet is a failsafe in miami. Their french toast is one of the best in town and their salmon is cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is vibrant and the wait staff is quick and friendly. If you have to wait anytime at all it is worth it.
(5)Nini H.
I've lived in the Grove for over a decade and this place has been a staple. Menu hasn't changed much in that time. Staff of course has turned over a bit. The current staff is a bit hit or miss. The food is good, omelettes drenched in butter, french toast nice and crispy, don't expect healthy in terms of preparation but do expect good in terms of taste. The level of butter used is sure to get your arteries screaming but maybe that's why people love it so much. Drinks are the real reason I love this place. The Bloody Mary's are some of the best I've had. Some say it's the best breakfast in the Grove, expect a long wait on Sunday's and holidays. Friendly atmosphere from the bar staff inside they take the time to get to know you, when you pull up a bar stool it's like coming home.
(3)MICHELLE C.
Located in the middle of the Grove, all outdoor seating. A friend and I stopped in for Happy Hour and dinner. I had been here before for breakfast which was very good. We decided to sit in the lounge area outside which was nice other than they really need to clean or get new furniture. From the weather and being outside the couches were stained badly. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. They do not have a great happy hour. Basically no food just beer specials and two dollars off wine by the glass and well drinks for I believe $6. I ordered a couple of glasses of wine and my friend ordered vodka and pineapple which she said tasted like water. I would have sent it back asking for more vodka please. Happy hour does not mean, skimp on the alcohol. As I looked at the menu, nothing was really sparking my interest. Burgers, pizza, wraps, salads and pasta dishes were basically it. I found their prices to be high. It felt like the beach prices. I ordered a salmon salad at $16. Once we received our food, my salmon was fresh, grilled with nice seasonings, fresh lettuce and very good dressing. I enjoyed my salad very much. We enjoyed our dinner, and service was great. Although my salad was very good, it is not a place I would come out of my way to come to. Mainly for me because of their menu selection and prices. I have never been a fan of the Grove. Most restaurants here are high priced and food is average at best.

If I could have 10 stars on this place I would. Where should I begin? Breakfast: I'm a regular there and usually have bagel with cream cheese and a side of potatoes. coffee in a to go cup and a diet coke.....this is AMAZING!! There chocolate chip pancakes are FIRE and scrambled eggs with ham, out of this world. Lunch: My favorite chicken wrap with fries!!!!!!!!! Those thin slice fries you just want more and more. Dinner: I usually have the Penne chicken pasta. Really good, it comes in a pink sauce which is incredible. I go there at least once a week and every time I go my expectations are met. Alex the manager is always greeting customers while still running the restaurant to the max. He is really friendly and always makes sure the customer is happy. Justin is an amazing waiter. I get there he already knows exactly what I want. My husband was impressed one morning when we arrived, he thought that something was up because no had welcomed us at the table but it was that Justin saw us come in and when he came to welcome us he had already in hand my diet coke, coffee in a to go cup and two glasses of water!!!!! 10 stars for Justin. Overall this place is my ultimate favorite. I can live off of GREENSTREET my whole life. I enjoy this place sooooooo much I purchased the shirts that the waiters and waitresses wear!!!
(5)Jeanie S.
Great service if you get there around 7:30-8 and really great food! I love the pasta they have.
(5)Beatriz G.
The food was great, but Justin, our server, was extremely kind, provided us with excellent customer service and gave us a detailed description of the entrees, which really pushed the dining experienced over the top. He is a real pro!!! We had not visited the restaurant for a while, but we will definitely be back soon.
(5)Claudia O.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Miami! Consistently good and awesome ambiance! Love the service!
(5)Jennifer T.
Great food, location, and service, cant really think of anything negative to say, would likely give this 4.5 stars, only because the food was delicious, but wasnt wow, but still a great and tasty meal! SEATING: Relaxing place to have a meal or a couple of drinks with a small group of friends. They have both outdoor or indoor seating, with either regular tables or velvet couches to sit on. The outdoor seating was nice but table was rather small, but still managed to fit all 4 of our entrees though. STAFF: The waiter was very attentive as well as helpful with recommendations. He even picked up when we mentioned it was my hubby's birthday and put in a surprise for him without us requesting it, which was super nice of him. DRINKS: My hubby has been on a quest to find a good mojito for quite sometime, and always ends up disappointed, but not here, he was really pleased with his mojito here! They also have Happy Hour twice a day, and different specials for each day (e.g., Monday, it was 1/2 off bottles of wine). APPETIZERS: We got the fried calamari which was the perfect combination of crispy but not heavy or greasy feeling. ENTREES: We each got one of the day's specials as well as a salad. The prices were a bit high, but not outrageous ($16-23), with the quality of the meals well worth the price range. We shared a goat cheese salad, which came with fried goat cheese, it was a good dish to share rather than as a single person's meal. I got the New Zealand lamb, which was very tender, well-seasoned and flavorful without being too salty, and paired well with their mashed potatoes. My husband got the NY steak, which was also very tender and flavorful but wasnt too bloody, which was perfect. Lastly, we got the lobster ravioli, which I thought was a reasonable price ($16), comparable to new england restaurants for a similar dish. It came in a creamy pink sauce that wasnt overly rich. LOCATION: The location looked really fun too, definitely want to come back again to check out all the various shops around!

I went here to eat on a Friday night with my boyfriend. We were seated right away and thankfully the weather was nice outside. As a mushroom lover, I ordered the Mushroom Triangoli and was pleasantly surprised! So delicious! My boyfriend had the Lamburger, one of his all-time favorites. What made everything perfect was our waiter, Zac. He was so funny, friendly an on top of things and made our experience that much better! We will definitely ask for him in the future.

I don't spend a lot of time in the Grove, so was glad to discover a GreenStreet with some friends. It was very nice to able to walk into a bar and get a table outside at 10PM on a Saturday night. We mostly had drinks, so I'll have to update the review after trying more menu options. We ordered in time for the dinner menu. I think they start the late night menu around 11, but time gets hazy after our veggie pizza and cocktails. As you may imagine from my previous sentence, the drinks were poured well and our server was really attentive (and friendly).

Great drinks. Great service. Our waitress , Chelsea , takes the best care of us. She always knows our order and has a smile on her face. We only like to sit in her section because the service is unbeatable. She is always on top of it and takes amazing care of us. I strongly recommend. Ask for Chelsea. You won't be sorry.
(5)Michael C.
Love the inside ambiance and outside seating. Food is fine, however pretension billows throughout the place. I live in the neighborhood, if I didn't I'd skip this place, however since I'm here I have enjoyed it on rare occasions. I prefer several other grove breakfast spots alot more.

Waiting with 4 people for a table for 15 mins, got a text that my table was ready. As I approach the hostess, someone arrives with 5 peole, they give my table for that person right away because they had a 5 people table ready, then they kept me waiting for another 5 min and offered me a table in the sun or wait another 5 mins. I decided not to wait and not to come back.
(1)Sarah C.
Best brunch in South Miami, great people watching and love the mimosas!
(4)Julio G.
I went here. Was "a-ok" which in my book means that I paid for food but did not love it. Its hot there. Our waiter ignored us. The tuna was good, but our cheese plate was kind of melting while we were trying to eat it.
(3)Sergio M.
Casual chic with plenty of outdoor seating and an extensive tapas and drinks menu. Great place for Happy Hour and just chilling....
(4)Milli M.
This is my favorite place to have breakfast in all Miami! Try the spinach and feta omelet and the French toast!! It's a must if you are in the Grove!
(5)Brett S.
The ambiance is above par, cuisine when prepared and delivered as ordered is quite delicious, service is not consistent. I have been here numerous times and have had a vastly different experience each time. Twice for brunch the server was changed mid shift which caused my party's order to be forgotten. A few times service has been exceptional and the kitchen doesn't prepare the meat the right temperature. If the balance between service and food preparation was in sync this place could be a 10.
(3)Gayle M.
The service was really a pleasure. I made a menu observation to the waiter, which could be construed as a complaint. What impressed me was the excellent way in which this was handled by the waiter, Dwight and Manager, Sean. Absolute professionals with their first-rate customer service. They both remained calm and pleasant throughout our discussion with no defensiveness. The food was very good -- I had the smoked dolphin with mashed potatoes (potatoes were great !). Oh yes, the flatbread was a light and tasty "pizza-like" concoction; light on the cheese with caramelized onions that made it delish ! I have gone to GreenStreet for years and always pleased with service and food. Glad they're still around.

***WARNING - POSSIBLE TRIGGERS AHEAD*** Came here for lunch the other day and was scanning over the menu wondering what to get. Then I saw IT, one of the worst triggers I could ever encounter, and all of a sudden was transported back to my own personal hell. I was surrounded by a massive crowd of people tossing their hideous "boo's" and jeers and cat-calls my way. The shame was intense. The feelings, dreadful. I started shaking like a leaf (yeah, my leaves shake, that's right). My palms grew sweaty and clammy and I grasped blindly for the linen napkin. My boss looked across the table to me and said "What the hell, Ian?" I stabbed my finger toward the menu and mouthed two words: "Chicken Tetrazzini." You see, I am no stranger to the day-time tabloid talk show, and the reference brought me back to that horrible day when I was tricked by my girlfriend, my mistress, my ex-wife and my incestuous cousin (I only did that once, geez, lay off with the judgment) who all happened to be pregnant with my bastard love-children into appearing on the Laura show. I thought I was going for a job interview but was instead led onstage to an ambush. It was horrible. I was held down in a chair by two beefy Mexican-looking fellows and slapped repeatedly. Unable to physically defend myself I could only shake my head and weakly mutter "aye dios, por favor el culo." I was suddenly stirred from my miserable memories by the waiter dropping some warm bread off at our table. I looked up and stared directly into his beady eyes and with only one small quiver of my lower lip stated "I'll have the chicken tetrazzini." My friends, it was fabulous. Have you guys ever had chicken tetrazzini before? That's some good shizz.

Yay! I am a fan, that summarizes it pretty much. While hanging out in one of my favorite area in Miami (Coconut Grove), we made our way to this place for a light, middle of the day lunch; recommended by a friend. Parking is fairly easy on-street and there are a lot of outdoor seating. I had the salmon salad with was great. It is hard to give me a culinary orgasm (pardon my french) with a salad but at the same time it is very easy to make an horrible one. All green produce were fresh and organic while the salmon was also very high quality and cook to perfection. I like mine very grilled on the outside and pink/rare on the inside. This hits the spot. Add to that beautiful and trendy people walking around, friendly staff and good ambiance. That's about all the ingredients you need for a wonderful lunch.

In the memory book of my life, GreenStreet is in the chapter filled with blurry nights and alcohol. I'd never really tried this place in the daylight, and much less sampled it's food. I had always heard that brunch here was a must-try... so this Sunday, I tried it. We were a group of 5.5 (a small dog was involved) and we were seated in about 20 minutes after meeting at 12:30p - which was surprising because I heard the wait can be a pain. Ordered the standard mimosas while waiting in the big red velvet couches along the sidewalk. Brunch was banana chocolate pancakes. Go ahead and sing along to the Jack Johnson song - because that's how happy it made me. Service was great - we were never rushed, and they didn't mind splitting the check 5 ways. It was a very leisurely afternoon, in the shade but still enjoying the beautiful weather. Glad to add GreenStreet to a more grown-up chapter in my life. :)
(4)Maria A.
They say pride is hard to swallow but disappointment has much more lasting and unappealing aftertaste. And that's what I got served at Green Street a big old portion of disappointment to go along with my duck salad and Mediterranean plate appetizer. I recently came for lunch but I was sadly surprised to find the menu has changed and not for the best. Some familiar favorites are gone and in their places there seems to be nothing. These changes have more than ever before cemented Green Street as a place for cocktails and mediocre food.
(3)Laura S.
Greenstreet Cafe is fantastic! Four of us went last night for dinner. The service was very attentive and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the pesto ravioli, which I loved. My entire party raved about their entrees. The decor is also fabulous, they have red velvet loveseats, inside and out. I will be returning to Greenstreet Cafe as soon as possible.
(5)Karen C.
Banana Pancakes...fabulous!!! The ambiance and the food are great! Try a grove goddess...
(4)Elizabeth M.
I had lunch here yesterday... and dinner...as well as brunch a couple of weeks ago and the verdict is in. Don't come here unless it's for drinks, brunch or want to people watch! The food is just blah. I've never been happy with any meal other than breakfast. The banana chocolate pancakes hit the spot. The potatoes are great and eggs with jerk spice - tasty. If you decide to stop by on a weekend for brunch, don't show up hungry! Everyone in town comes here for breakfast/brunch and there's always a long wait. So put your name on the list and go for a stroll or order a Bloody Mary, sit on one of their comfy couches and sip... Slowly.
(2)AshleyMarie O.
I love the location first of all. Right on a busy corner in the Grove you see all these red velvet couches and cute little lamps, it looks so inviting! I usually go for drinks but the other day I went for lunch and was actually impressed. We sat at the outside bar and I split a salad (added chicken) with my girlfriend and it filled us both up and we were quite pleased! They didn't charge for extra tomato's or extra dressing (gotta appreciate that now-a-days!) It was the Mesclun Endive Salad which has apples and ohh its just too good to pass up! I had no idea this would prove to be a good spot to dine, but now I must try it for dinner :0)
(4)Celia M.
One of my favorite places to have breakfast by far! Not only is it around ten minutes from my house but they always have a table ready and I've never had to wait. Definitely try Steve's Banana Pancakes, and any of their breakfast platters with their small, yet fulfilling potatoes, and toast. The staff is always accommodating and friendly. Although the Grove is resting in peace due to the influx of Midtown and Brickell, this place is always oozing with locals and tourists. It's a big hit in my book!
(5)Candice C.
I wish there was a - star. It wasn't my choice to eat at this restaurant. I want to let you all know how this place is run. I'm happy that they're all honest, but their honesty just upset me. I will never go back to Green Street on a Sunday. Actually,I may never go back. We waited for over and hour and half for Sunday brunch. The hostess walked us to our table and realized that her manager had just sat people at our table. She explains what happened. The manager gave our table away to customers that dine there often. Apparently he was instructed by the owner to seat weekly customers first. Really?? This is the worst customer service. He should have lied. It may have been better. He tried to backpedal by offering us 50% off our bill and we would have to wait for the next 6 person table. Well.. He's has lost our business and we take our party of 6 to Lulu's. There wasn't a wait, the food is amazing and the service was wonderful. Thanks to our server Christina and the servers that made sure our coffee and water was always filled to the top. GreenStreet- get a need a new manager and tell your owner how business should be done. Btw, I won't be dining at either of these restaurants again. GreenStreet and Lulu's are the same owner. Never again! I'm disgusted with the way they handle customers.
(1)Megan D.
I could sit here all day...the food is always good, the drinks are always spot-on. If I'm gonna do an entree, it's gonna be their salmon salad for lunch/dinner...brunch: eggs benedict - hands down. They have mimosa options that make my heart sing - anything with St. Germain in it makes me a happy girl, so gimme a Heavenly Street at my outdoor brunch table and I'm set. I'm all about people watching, and that corner is PERFECT for it.
(5)Gustavo A. L.
My approach to this place is cautious enthusiasm, riding the coat tails of an excellent location, the have capitalized by making the place unique. Lazy Sunday afternoons in glorious Miami weather are priceless and usually very enjoyable here - the locals never dissapoint providing and endless source of entertainment, just watching them is pretty amusing in itself. Green Street - please don't let your popularity go to your head - good old fashioned customer service never goes out of style no matter how "hot" you are - but sometimes we encounter the informal server who feels insecure about their chosen mean to earn a living and in turn project it to the patrons.... Wrong ! I'll keep coming and updating the reviews so... we'll see... for now - 4 stars is appropriate reward for good food, and good location, oh yeah and reasonable prices in tourist trap coconut grove.
(4)Nik I.
Good brunch and happy hour, terrible everything else. Unless its Whiskey Wednesday, Vodka Thursday or FREE champagne for ladies on Fridays then I won't go. You will see the occasional athlete here (definitely belonging to the Heat franchise) but the tables are so smooshed together that you'll only catch a glimpse from afar. The service is pretty slow and the drinks are pretty pricey but go for HH and you won't be disappointed.
(3)Drew H.
I've been here for breakfast before which is REALLY good but also overpriced for what it is. I went here last night for drinks for the first time which were also way overpriced. The atmosphere is really cool with the giant sofas outside and dim lighting, The only reason I gave it a 3 and not a 4 was because how much they overcharge. I guess if you went here to drink happy hour would be a must. On Wednesday Nights they have a Johnnie Walker promotion: Black $4.50 Gold $7 Green $8 Blue $16
(3)Kelly O.
OMG. I had such high hopes for this restaurant-- the ambiance upon arrival is fantastic- the outdoor patio and such....and I had heard the food was very good. That said, suffice it to say I experienced truly some of the worst service EVER in my life here. I second what J.D. wrote when he/she said the people working there are like zombies. Truly. Our waitress had the personality of a plate. It took probably 10 minutes to get our drink order. One person in our party had arrived before us- she is pregnant and had asked for a certain soup to be brought out ASAP because she was feeling nauseous. After we arrived, it took another 10 minutes for her soup to arrive and......drumroll please.....it was cold!!! I took the soup up to the Droids working the front desk, told them what happened and it was as if I said, "hello. the sky is blue." NO REACTION. Probably no pulse. There appeared to be a "manager" figure walking around chumming it up with all the wait-staff-- a guy in a suit who appeared to be about 25 and clearly thinking he's the Ultimate Ladies Man. He never visited our table with all the problems we had. It seriously took over 45 minutes for our food to arrive and every time we asked our Stepford Waitress a question, she looked like she was lapsing into a coma. It PAINED me to leave her a tip. What a horrible joke of a restaurant. ;-(
(1)Melinda J.
First time visit - disappointed with Rebecca's service. Never introduced herself. Gave someone else the meal ticket to process / four people at the table only catered to one guest at our table. great location. Going to try again with another server and see if it was just a bad day..
(1)Crystal Z.
After so many people telling me to try Greenstreet, I finally visited. And all I can say it... It was just ok. There's nothing special about the brunch here. The food took forever, the restaurant is really crowded and uncomfortable. Just wasn't what I expected for such a popular place.
(3)Chimichanga C.
This place is def a relaxing chill spot in coconut grove. I'm really a fan of those mod cool vintage red couches outside and the seating. This place is a chill atmosphere and always a good time! I've tried a few appetizers the hummus and some others.. it's decent food... Wed nights they have whiskey nights. It's Great to come with a group of friends on a relaxing night. Also, monday nights its half off bottle of wines which is a super good deal great idea for a date!! Out of all the spots in the grove this is def one of my fav places... :)
(4)Nicole C.
What better way to start your Sunday than with a bubbly brunch? A low key, outdoor/indoor cafe, this popular place is the go-to spot for brunch on the weekends. Adorned with funky chandeliers, and plush velvet couches, this lovely locale is amongst my favorites for breakfast. The prices are fair, the food is great, and the ambiance is fantastic. Like "Cheers" its a type of place where everybody knows your name.
(4)Lester M.
I haven't been here in years but haven't forgotten how good the food is. Took advantage that I was meeting my brother at the grove to have lunch here. I had the lamb burger and he fish with rice and beans. Both things were outstanding. My burger was very savory and juicy. My brother's fish was soft and flaky and the rice and beans were very good. There is a reason why this place a big following and is one of the few places at the grove where you not onlu find turists but locals as well.
(4)Rosabel T.
Best place I been to so far. Great vibe and atmosphere. Lamb chops are amazing. Staff is awesome.
(5)Xiomara P.
Incredibly long wait... And wasn't overly impressed by their menu in any way, but what I ordered( pancakes and sausage) were really delicious
(3)Sabrina Anna C.
Dear GreenStreet, You are the Grove staple of my life. On you, I know I can count on not to be disappointed. So when the BF said he was starving on our way home yesterday, I knew EXACTLY where I wanted to eat. The weather was absolutely beautiful yesterday and for an August afternoon there was a nice, crisp breeze. So of course, I opted to sit on one of the couches outside, facing Main Highway for the people watching. Our waitress promptly came up to us and asked us what we wanted to drink. A wine menu quickly followed and she made some great suggestions. I went with a Malbec, and the BF had a Pinot Noir. We took some time to just enjoy the wine before we even opened the menus to satisfy our grumbling stomachs. Finally, I had to order before I passed out. LOL I decided to go with the Veal Scallopinis in a Porcini mushroom sauce. At first, I was a bit taken aback, because it was not the flavor that I was expecting. I had only ever had the Veal Scallopinis at Tango's down south, and they use a Marsala sauce. So I think my palate was confused. But the more I tried it, the more delicious it became. The creamy mushroom sauce was just delectable, and the crisp, thin french fries that were served as a side were just perfect drenched in this sauce. The BF ordered the Mushroom Triangoli dish with the same Porcini mushroom sauce. They were like little blue raviolis filled with mushrooms and topped with the creamy sauce. This was very tasty as well. However, I feel like I noticed a hint of "freezer" taste to it... Maybe it was me. The BF didn't say anything. But I tasted something just slightly off... GreenStreet, you always come through. We definitely enjoyed our dinner very much and the atmosphere was just perfect. I even like your new 24 @ 24 promotion (It's 24 different bottles of wine at the price of $24/bottle). :) Great touch. Thanks for everything. Best Regards, SabrinaAnna*
(4)Kristen M.
I think this is becoming my new favorite brunch spot. Town is great with the $15 unlimited mimosas but the food here was outstanding. I have been before and have had the pasta which was great but this time we tried the Nutella filled French Toast which was to die for! The Grove Goddess is also delicious. There is a bit of a wait but well worth it. I love the outdoor seating and decor of the restaurant.
(4)Samaa M.
Pretty good to great food. Cinnabon pancakes are a must. The tomatoes and goat cheese omelet is also pretty great. And I hear the french toast is great from my sister. Good breakfast place for friends and families. Not intimate/romantic.
(4)Annie S.
Great environment, drink deals, and the best beet and goat cheese salad in the city! They have indoor and outdoor seating and its just lovely!
(4)Crystal L.
Great place for brunch after a hangover. Loved the French toast!
(4)Laura B.
One of my new favorite spots! We came here because of waiting a while, my boyfriend and I didn't receive any service at the restaurant across the street. & I'm glad that we did! The service was excellent and the food delicious! Definitely recomend!
(5)Denny H.
Had dinner here on a Monday night. The environment was great. Love good outdoor dining. Had the hummus appetizer, very good considering it was just good ol' plain hummus. I had vegetable lasagna, delicious although I would have preferred less focus on the eggplant. My wife had the goat cheese pizza (and I had it again for lunch the next day) Good portions, enough for leftovers and a great place to meet up have dinner or drinks and enjoy what seems like a great little neighborhood.
(4)Aurora E.
I've been to Greenstreet with friends, but we always hang by the bar. It was only last week that I decided to have dinner there with a friend, and I have to say nomnomnom!! Datpasta.jpg It was so good! I remember looking at the menu and seeing an unrecognizable name on the list, with the ingredients "mushroom" and "a creamy sauce" (that's what she said). That's when I stopped reading and decided to order that, and ordered some chicken with it. It was amazing! The most delicious pasta I've had in a while. (I have no idea if the fact I was starving had anything to do with this). The portions were big, so I couldn't finish the whole meal. I took half with me when i went to visit a friend, and I had to have her try some (she ate the whole thing). It was that good. P.s. I found the name of the meal it was the " Mushroom Triangoli, filled with mushrooms, creamy porcini sauce" Try it, you won't regret it. (Unless you don't like mushrooms, in which case you might regret it, but then why would you even order it if you know you don't like mushrooms? I mean seriously...)
(4)Elle B.
This became our group's favorite bar at night during our weekend stay nearby. Great atmosphere, they played this music track that had such classic hits (Aerosmith, Journey, etc.), friendly waitstaff and trendy interior (such cute Victorian chairs!), not too crowded, mixed crowd. Only downside was drinks could get a bit pricey ($10/shot), but well worth price for such an enjoyable time. Highly recommend!
(4)Hannah S.
It's about time I updated my review, as somehow I've ended up at Greenstreet almost weekly as of late. You can't beat the outstanding outdoor seating and red velvet benches (although they could use a good scrubdown). Prices are definitely inflated ... but it's the Grove, and with this place, it's all about location. They have happy hour from 5-7, M-F, decent prices on drinks (no food on happy hour), but I've found the mixed drinks to be pretty watered down. In terms of the menu, I'm all about the salads, and they're nice enough to make them into a wrap for me from time to time. I especially recommend the fig salad - perfect mix of sweet & savory with the figs and the aged cheese. Yum! I like this place, but honestly, there's nothing particularly exceptional about it (except for their brunch - which is outstanding). The places are a little too high, and for happy hour, I'd rather do Lulu's, right across the way, since they include food for their HH. But, Greenstreet is a staple, and an extremely pleasant place to while away an afternoon or evening in the Grove. PS: They are dog friendly, LOVE it! They give you snack mix when you sit down, which, while nice, is addictive. :)
(4)Izzat A.
Came here for brunch and was very very satisfied. I'm not usually a breakfast/brunch person, but this place has turned me into a changed man. I got the cream cheese, spinach, chicken omlett with breakfast potatoes and it was amazing. I've never had an omlet that has made me say O-M-G, but this one did. The cream cheese went perfectly with the chicken and spinach. Loved the ambiance as we sat outside in Coconut Grove. Service was super fast and friendly. A little on the expensive side, but well worth it.
(5)Ana Cristina P.
This is probably my favorite place to go in The Grove. I love the food, I love the location, and I love the memories. The last time I went was right after the King Mango Strut this past year. At first I was kinda annoyed because they were so crowded that day that they sat us next to some really loud music, but then I realized it was King Mango Strut Day and started jammin' out to the loud music instead. Eventually my ears grew accustomed to the decibels. I've been here a few times and not once have I been disappointed. The service has always been great, even when it's insanely crowded. The food has always tasted delicious, even when I ordered plain pasta with nothing on it on my anniversary dinner because I had to get surgery a couple of days after. Weird, but true! My favorite thing to order here is the Pear and Endive salad with bleu cheese and walnuts- very refreshing! I feel ashamed because I keep hearing about how awesome their breakfast food is, yet I have never ordered it. I promise I will one day! Five stars for Green Street!
(5)LaShawn M.
My fave!!! Whiskey Wednesday is the best! Also, great breakfast and they serve until 2:45pm. The wings are very yummy, and all the bartenders and servers are very friendly. You may even catch a celebrity or athlete dining.
(5)Ale R.
Always a wonderful atmosphere + it is always a pleasant experience. Food is delish!
(5)Ana M.
Went for brunch on a Sunday with a group of six. It took quite a wait to be seated because it was full to capacity. The wait was worth it because you can order from the bar and stand to view the relaxed atmosphere of the Grove. The food was great, our waiter named Randy provided us with excellent service. Two of us kept taking pictures and the entire event was fun. My sister invited me as an extended birthday celebration and I am very grateful that she did. The company, conversation, and ambiance was very much to my liking.
(5)John C.
We drove all the way down from Miami Shores to check this place out for breakfast. What a DISAPPOINTMENT! I ordered scrambled eggs with salsa. Well, the salsa came from a jar, the eggs from a carton...YUCH! I expect such a place to serve shell eggs and not be lazy and make salsa from SCRATCH....how many ingredients are there in Salsa, three or four only? Come on...!
(1)Jessica S.
Greenstreet has been a staple in the Coconut Grove for years. I was first introduced to this place a few years back while training for a run with my running group, who would rewarded themselves to Sunday brunch after a long run. The people in the group told me that they knew the chef, who was french, and that everything there was really good. So, I accepted the invitation still sweaty and tired from my morning run. It turned out that I wasn't the only one. On Sundays it is common to see people gathering for brunch after there morning workouts. The droves of bikers and runners venture out to this spot especially the people who have raced that day, and not to mention the walkers who also join in with their dogs. This spot has a great friendly environment and to be outside enjoying the day relaxing with a nice cup of coffee or a mimosa is a great end to my week. After that first day, I have been back, once for dinner, once for lunch, and once for drinks at night. I really have to stress that the food isn't phenomenal any other time than breakfast. I feel like the menu has a typical Italian cuisine with the typical meat entrees that every other restaurant offers in Miami. Drinks at happy hour or for a stop off before the clubs on the weekend is a better choice is your not going for brunch. Thursdays is college night and the rest of the weekend it seems to always be a good spot to chill and have a cocktail with some friends. The wait in the comfy sofa chairs and benches outside is a plus too. They at least make your wait enjoyable because sometimes on a Sunday when the wait can be over an hour, you need a good seat. So, go around lunchtime, get a mimosa or bellini at the bar and relax to take in the scene in at the Grove. The inside dining room is also interesting option, if the day is not the best weather to sit outside (which is where I prefer to sit), the non conventional seats and tables inside provide an interesting feel. It almost reminds me of a library, with the dark wood and the plush chairs. The service is always great. I have eaten there so many times and tried everything with no disappointments. I usually stick to any of the egg omelets or the banana pancakes. The apple turkey sausage is another item on the menu that I add to my brunch which is also a good addition. Of all the places that have come and go over the years in the Grove, this place has always stayed packed and in business. For me, it is one of the best places to have brunch on a Sunday in Miami.
(4)Lourdes D.
Came here for brunch this morning with my best friends and it was amazing. The weather was close to perfect, so we decided to sit outside and enjoy it. I ordered a mimosa and the two egg meal, that comes with potatoes and toast. To top everything off, we decided to share their banana/chocolate chip pancakes. All the food was great, the atmosphere was awesome and the service was just as good. After brunch, we continued to take advantage of the weather and decided to check out some of the boutiques in the area. Definitely planning to come here again for brunch. You can park in either the pay-to-park street parking or in one of the many lots in the Grove. This place gets really packed, so plan to wait a bit for a table. However, there are great couches outside where you can lounge and have a cocktail.
(5)Elizabeth T.
A Grove staple, this place has probably the BEST brunch around. I love Green Street because everything is good. Food, drinks, atmosphere, service - it's got it all. You want a delicious place to enjoy a fresh lunch? Green Street. Looking for spot to meet up with the girls for a late night drink? Green Street. Need to take your in-laws to brunch? Green Street. Green Street has both indoor and outdoor seating. Tables provide you the sit-down feel, whereas comfy couches give you a spot to grab a casual drink. The outdoor bar is the perfect spot to grab a mimosa while you wait for your table. If you prefer to sit inside, you'll enjoy quirky decor, including a room full of books and throne-like chairs. To be honest, I've only had a few things on their menu, but that's not because it's limiting - it's just that their french toast is the only thing I need to make me happy! The best I've found in Miami! But my friends all swear by their omelets! And their potatoes are a fantastic and flavorful side that pairs with almost every dish. The bartenders know how to make a cocktail - everything is good! And their iced cappuccinos are not a bad way to cool down on a warm Miami day!
(5)Sara W.
Coconut grove is a surprisingly quaint and economical place to enjoy dinner. It was wonderful to eat outside in January. Our server did a nice job of checking in with our table. I ordered the salmon with penne in a vodka Creme sauce. It was wonderful. I had expected a salmon filet with a side of penne, but instead my salmon was shredded and mixed in with the sauce. Everything was piping hot and my portion was so large I only are half. It was great! Only negative, my friend tried the classic burger and said it was nothing to rave about. The bun was a bit hard on the outside. Overall, my food was great and I would definitely go back!
(4)Shannon S.
Great restaurant! Great food, service, drinks, music, atmosphere! Awesome furniture to relax & chat w/friends. Big TVs for hanging to watch sports. All menus offer a variety. A MUST!!!

Worst place ever award goes to green street café: service is horrible and so is the food. Seriously, you call yourself a restaurant? the management, servers and hostess are all incompetent fools. The only thing that makes sense there is the bartender (Bloody Mary) ... but it's lacks everything else. It's really sad when the manager requests for you to go to another restaurant because they don't have the skill or the capacity to help a party of 11 people and made us wait 2 hours for a table. They even offered a gift certificate to make-up for it and I rejected because even if the food was free I would not eat there or set foot in the place ever again. Yelp, please add the convince of giving negative stars.

This is my favorite place for Sunday brunch in all of Miami. This is one of those spots that you always go back to because you want to try everything on the menu. Thats probably why most of the people that you find there are locals. Top picks: The smoothies (both mango and berry) are awesome, the chocolate french toast is insanely good, and the banana with chocolate chip pancakes are a must. Oh yea, the omelette's are pretty good too!

Skip it. Go to Peacock Cafe..trust me on this one, Greenstreet has gone down hill..

Great spot to sit outside and people watch. They've got a bunch of outdoor seating, they serve brunch too, I've never been for dinner but I have been there in the evening for drinks. Odd thing is, they're right next door to Senor Frogs(very lame) and the awnings that hang over Green Street say Senor Frogs on them. So, if you don't know, you think it's all Senor Frogs. They must fix that. The manager proudly parks his/her vintage Vespa Sprint right outside the place on the corner of Commodore Plz and Main Hwy. Very cool. Big props for that!

Best Bloody Mary's! Really great food too

Eeh. I know that most people come here at night for drinks, and the location and ambiance is great, but I went here for breakfast, and it was only okay. I am a breakfast food person. You know, the kind that orders off of Denny's breakfast menu all day long. The food was mediocre; IHOP does better pancakes. When I go out, I want to eat something I can't do at home, or I want it done better. Next time, I'd stay home.

Green Street is the only reason that I still go to the Grove. I love the fact that it has indoor seating (for the extremely hot days) and outdoor seating for a nice open air dining experience with plenty of people watching. All of the brunch items here are pretty good. My favorites are the pancakes, eggs benedict, and my most recent discovery which is the goat cheese and spinach omelette. The service here is pretty good and the ambiance is great. I've also come for lunch and liked it as well. I had the blackened dolphin wrap. It was very tasty and fresh. Green Street also tends to get full on some weeknights but I've kind of outgrown the crowd. It's comprised of a lot of college/UM students and the guys who can't seem to shake the college mentality.

I was going to be in Miami for 2 days and heard that Joe's Stone Crab was the one place I had to check out, especially if I could eat on company money. Well, shortly after we landed, my coworker and I checked into our hotels and made a bee-line for Joe's. To our dismay, they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, which is the only two days we would be there... Since he had been to Miami before and this was my first time, he suggested that we check out Coconut Grove for some other eats. After getting a little bit lost, mainly because I left my GPS in my room, we found parking in a small $6 lot next to GreenStreet. We hung out there another good 5 minutes admiring the dark gray Aston Martin Vantage that we parked next to. In short, GreenStreet didn't have the crab legs we were craving, but it had a tasty-looking menu and very nice atmosphere. We initially sat outside but requested to move inside when the mosquitoes found me. The decor is very interesting and not what you would expect - dark red velvet seats and strange figurines all over the ceiling. What we ordered: * Warm goat cheese salad - split this between 2 of us as appetizer. first time I've ever had fried goat cheese and the salad dressing was a perfect complement. * Salmon with fennel sauce - fresh and a good size. slightly too dry around the outside where they blackened a very pretty grill pattern. * [some fish I can't remember] and lemon butter - this was their special for the day and I was offered to try a bite off my coworker's plate. wow I have never had anything lemony-er...the sauce is clearly made with some lemon concentrate or something because it was more sour than sucking on a fresh lemon. no idea how he ate all of it without getting sick.

I always end up finishing the night with my friends at this lounge. We always have a great time. We always get our favorite server Stephanie which makes the ambiance of the night even better. The drinks are great and my favorite which I highly recommend is the Mojito. The music is hip and its also great for people watching. They also have great specials on scotches on Wednesday which they call Whiskey Wednesday. This place is great for groups and even for a nice romantic night out. I definitely recommended this restaurant as a lounge.
(5)Juan S.
Things seem to be changing here..and not for the better... (breakfast review) There are many great things about this place, namely the location and outside dining. Service is usually very friendly and the food is good; however, the portions seem to have shrunk and the quality isn't as good as I remember. Also, prices have increased. The outside tables could use an update as well. Things are looking a little dated here, especially compared to it's newer younger sister, lulu across the street. Will return but might think about checking another option instead next time.
(3)Hesham E.
I think I found my new favorite breakfast spot and, best of all, they serve breakfast thru 2pm everyday! The eggs here are fantastic; had them scrambled with cheddar cheese and a little bit of tobasco.
(4)Nic B.
Splitting a bottle of wine and picking at the Mediterranean Platter with big sunglasses and sundresses kind of reminded me of my days at University of Miami where I was carefree with money and a little bit of a spoiled snob on Daddy's dime. However, um, those days are over now. Thank god I wasn't picking up the tab because these days, I'm envious of how much money the busboy is making. I'm only half kidding. Good solid times, good food, good wine, good company, as always.
(4)Elizabeth P.
Green Street Cafe is a place to go to be seen and for drinks. While Green Street Cafe is always packed and full of people, the surrounding restaurants like Lulu were dead on a Tuesday night. It's a little supply and demand, and Green Street is always in demand. I suppose that's why I keep going, feels like a good night out. Went there for dinner and had the veggie lasagna, it was good, but never went past the wow factor. I have eaten there before and it has been most of the same.This restaurant has made themselves a Coconut Grove staple, while in reality not providing quality food.
(3)Sheila S.
This is a solid brunch place - a treat to spend some lazy late-morning girl time. If there's a wait, you can lounge on the cushy couches outside and grab any of their tasty drinks (Watermelon lemonade, frozen cappuccino, etc). The service is decent, as is the food. We had the cheese & mushroom omelet, bagel with everything, banana pancakes, and eggs to order. The pancakes were pretty fabulous, but the waitress asked if we wanted "Real Maple Syrup." Looking puzzled, she informed us that the default for the pancakes is artificially-flavored sugar syrup. Not cool Green Street. Not cool. The eggs & omelet were fine, but the potatoes stunk. Breakfast potatoes are one of my favorite things, but I left over half of these behind. Would I go back? Yes. But I'd try the grits instead of the potatoes as a side.
(3)Elena I.
I loooooove this place! Very reasonably priced and their Eggs Benedict are truly the best I have ever had. If you order Steve's pancakes, make sure to tell them to add some chocolate chips as they really, really add that extra little something to the flapjacks. Oh, and their veggie omelet is also the best I've had. Dinner is great too. Great selection and large variety. I believe Monday nights you get 1/2 off wine bottles and I am always up for that!
(5)Alex H.
Ambiance: Outdoors; busy in groups Food: Good Drinks: Didn't drink; full bar available We decided to go see a movie in the nearby Paragon Theater and have dinner near by. GreenStreet provides a street corner, outdoor ambience allows for smokers (cigarette and cigar) to be able to eat and drink. I am very anti-smoking, but thankfully the outdoor environment allows for clear air when the wind blows. The bar area is wooden with tall comfortable stools. The area is lightly lit with a wide variety of liquor selection. They run a special of free house champagne for ladies during the their first happy hour. They have a second happy hour from 11:30 pm to close (with last call at 3:00 am). As a scotch drinker, their prices are reasonable and they have a "basic" selection. I ordered the Blackend Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi) which was a good portion size and very filling . Bottom Line: Recommended
(4)Kaleena S.
Went to Green Street with my boss after work to talk and hang out, and to use his groupon that was about to expire... we got there right during shift change so by the time we actually got someone to take our order 3 people had been to the table saying they were going to be right with us. Our order consisted of salsa, & hummus and two drinks I want to give green street more stars but i can't reach into my pocket and give out a 4 for stuff i can make at home. granted some might say well look at what you ordered, simple stuff, to which i would say hey if its on the menu it better be something better than what i can do myself otherwise why is it on the menu? Everything was ok. I would go back again, but this time i would sit inside, or at least away from the corner outdoor seating and order something that maybe i wouldn't make at home to really get a feel for this place
(3)Lorena C.
Although me and my friends always try to go to new places, somehow we always ended up spending our weekends here. Great place to seat have some drinks and catch up with friends and family.Their fries and burger are pretty good also I would've loved to give this place 5 stars by sometimes the male waiters tend to forget you exists, so be patient. Anyhow i love this place is cute, great location and you are always gonna have a great time.
(4)Alex S.
My girlfriend loves GreenStreet and I think a lot of women do for that matter, but I just don't get it. It's pricy, the food's pretty good, but not worth it. The drinks are expensive, and the tables are cracked or chipped, they are too close together, and the floor inside is uneven. The bathrooms are cramped, and it just doesn't look nice enough to justify the price. If you are a lady, read the ladies' reviews, I'm sure they're great. But as a man, I can find a much better place to hang out in the grove just a stone's throw away. I will say, the service has been pretty good every time I've been, and they do drink specials that make it worthwhile on occasion.
(2)Jessica A.
Lots of good times and good memories come from Greenstreet. When I first moved to Miami in 2002 I landed in the Grove, stranger in a strange land. Greenstreet was a place I could go and read a book and not feel like a lonely loser. Then when I made friends and starting going out socially, Greenstreet was one of the stops on our bar-hop. Seven years later you can catch me there most Friday evenings having free champagne (ladies only!) from 5-8. The food is good too. And breakfast on the weekends is so awesome it's almost impossible to get a table. I love the bolognese and the cheese plate! One creepy thing I learned whilst a Grove native (and confirmed by a bartendar on staff) is that the owner has closed-circuit camera's running from the restaurant/bar directly into his home. But I guess that's just "quality control."
(4)Barry M.
We have to give this 5 stars because for the little that we ate, it was awesome. Fresh outside seating even in August!!! Warm fresh rye rolls, just out of the oven. Goat cheese tomato pizza that my wife and I shared. I can't say anything bad about the pizza, thin crust, warm, easy to knife and fork or just fold. Fresh ground pepper and cheese offered for pizza. Not greasy. For this I award 5 stars because the little we asked for was served excellently. Service was impeccable...very friendly staff.
(5)Christine I.
A Coconut Grove staple, this quaint corner restaurant is one of my all time favorites. Not only are their red plush outdoor couches fun to sit in, but their food is amazing! My personal favorite is the Mediterranean platter for dinner and their goat cheese and tomato omelet for brunch. I have dreams about that omelet! If you get seated right away, the service is usually fast and you get to enjoy a beautiful meal on an active sidewalk corner. The perfect start or end to any day!
(4)Janine R.
I can't believe I've never written a review on this famed Miami spot. Greenstreet cafe is definitely a place for locals to gather on either Whiskey Wednesdays or ladies night on Thursdays. If you plan on meeting up with friends and lounging out, I recommend coming here and hanging out by the infamous red sofas. Besides having great drink specials, the food is decent and their brunch seems to be the talk of town. The service is usually good, unless you piss off one of the waitresses on hand. It gets really busy on Wednesday and Thursday nights as well as Saturday and Sunday mornings. Greenstreet Cafe is one of those places that you know you can come to and just have a fun night.
(4)Barry B.
I have eaten at Greenstreet several times and have always enjoyed the food! My favorite waiter is Dwight. He is friendly, courteous and makes us feel at home creating a great dining experience!
(5)Michel P.
Great food and service! And a delicious bloody mary:)
(5)Jan N.
After a three year hiatus from GS, I came here for an early Mother's Day dinner so my husband could try it out. I didn't remember much about it since it had been so long, but I did remember leaving with a less than stellar impression after an average brunch experience. Luckily, Green Street redeemed itself with great service and much more palatable food! We started off with some hummus and pita bread, which was plentiful and satisfying. As an entree, I had the Shrimp Pasta - to DIE for (could've done with a little more shrimp, though)! My husband opted for (surprise, surprise), their cheesburger which he devoured with no complaints. And as an added bonus, we got a free dessert just for checking in on Yelp! The waiter suggested the Tiramisu, and by this time I couldn't even tell you how good it was because I was just so ridiculously stuffed and content. So yeah, if you haven't made an inference by now, I'll just spell it out for you - t r y t h i s p l a c e o u t! Happy eating!
(4)Ashley H.
Love this place! Great atmosphere and great food. An excellent treat after a long hard day at work. PS: please bring back the lamb chops as a special. they are easily one of my favorite meals...ever.

not what it used to be, way too hyped up, but people keep going there. menu is plain, food is not good anymore, service is very slow. miami has way better restaurants to offer....
(1)Janelle F.
I've been living in Miami way too long to actually never come here. The day was gorgeous yesterday so we decided to take the girls (aka, our two yorkies) out for brunch and since GreenStreet has outdoor seating and allows dogs, off we went. The wait when we got there was about 45 minutes, which was okay-- They have a bunch of old-fashioned couches lined up the street where you can sit and wait. We waited maybe 20 minutes--- their service is very quick so people finished eating rather fast. The one thing I didn't like was that the tables are pretty close together and there were way too many big dogs, so I had to watch mine more than I normally would- not that this is Greenstreet's fault-- but I want other owners of smaller dogs to be aware. The food came out very fast. We literally sat down and were out in 30 mins tops. The manager was standing by us, giving orders to the hostesses and busboys via radio... While it was annoying to hear him, it was clear that he had the place in check, which was demonstrated in their quick service. I also found the bill to be pretty cheap, at $27 for 2. I will probably be back to GreenStreet to try their pancakes or french toast which I didn't get to-- but next time I will definitely leave the pups at home.
(4)Elizabeth M.
Let me start off by telling you that the french toast at this place is deeeeelicious!!!!!! And if you like chocolate then the chocolate french toast is for you. I staying in miami with my sister for a couple days and this place was right outside of her building and i got breakfast from here two days in a row. It might be a bit pricey but it is def worth going.
(4)Franky A.
Classic Coconut Grove institution. Food is ok and the service can be slow at times but this place to me is the real Miami. If you're a true native, you're here all of the time. Great spot to watch the games. Brings back so many great memories of hell raising in my youth.
(4)Margot B.
I haven't been here for a while, but had a "power breakfast" at Greenstreet's last week. Normally I don't do power breakfasts, but it was a nice day and we had a table outside. This is a great breakfast and weekend brunch spot as you can do some serious people watching. My friend had the french toast and it was a very generous portion - even he couldn't finish it. The food is good, the service is good and the ambiance is classic Grove. What's not to like??
(4)Orlando D.
I've been punched in the face twice in my life. One was when I bet a midget he couldn't do it (I'm 6'3"), and the other was the great punch I felt when I had some pancakes at GreenStreet Cafe. They were banana pancakes. They were so delicious. It's a little strange that I had to ask for "real" maple syrup though. A condiment like that should be standard fare at any place that prides itself in breakfast and doesn't rhyme with Jenny's. I made a joke to the waitress about how "Steve's banana pancakes" take on a whole new meaning if you add a strategically placed pause. She laughed, and even though I noted it was forced laughter at my borderline sexual harassment, I appreciate that sort of go-getter attitude for a bigger tip. The pancakes tasted like world peace and legalized prostitution. The syrup, on the other hand, tasted like violence and mortgage fraud. I wasn't aware that I had to special-order the maple syrup until after I had the taste of assets and liabilities in my mouth. The palatableness of the pancakes evened things out though, so I was still able to enjoy things. I pointed out the riotous zing of high-fructose corn syrup to the waitress and she was willing to bring out a whole new batch of pancakes with maple syrup and not charge me for the syrup. I declined because I was in a hurry to be late for work for the third time that week, but I welcomed the effort. At night the place takes on a whole new atmosphere. I always think to myself, "if I want to see someone with a popped collar and a visor, GreenStreet is the place to go." I'm never let down. There's no single place on earth where you'll find more IDs with the names Chad, Rusty, Hunter, Tucker, Chase, Todd, Logan, Grayson, Ian, Dean, and Casey. The only exception being a John Mayer concert. Or a frat party. If I remember correctly though, you'll find 2-for-1 specials on beers after 11, so that's cool. I've only munched on nachos at night in that spot. They serve Guinness, so you know the bar is good. Guinness can make anything special. It's like glitter. If you have a packet of glitter there's nothing you can't fix. Does your niece have an art project due in her kindergarten class tomorrow morning? Glitter. Is the party not lively enough? Glitter. Did someone poop in the wall urinal again? Glitter. Is Mariah Carey's career stagnating? Glitter: The film. The possibilities are endless indeed. If you've got time in the morning for breakfast that isn't in a cardboard box with a navy man who hasn't been promoted to rear admiral in over 46 fucking years, give GreenStreet a shot. PEOPLE WHO WOULD ENJOY IT: Pancake lovers; breakfast lovers in general; all of UM. PEOPLE WHO WOULD NOT ENJOY IT: All of FIU.
(5)Madeline M.
GreenStreets is consistant and always a treat when I visit. Had the Ceasar Salad w Jerk Chicken yesterday, one of my favorites... The crowd is always eclectic & on a sunny bright day it's always a special treat... Kudos to you GreenStreet Cafe...
(5)Jessica A.
I absolutely LOVE this place! We have Sunday brunch here every Sunday. We love Amy and Emily at the bar. They always greet you with a smile and great service. The managers are also always very pleasant and come say hello and make sure everything is ok. I decided to go for lunch since I have never really been there except for brunch. The food was amazing. I started with a cup of the zuchini/basil soup which was so delicious. I learned that they don't use cream but chicken stock so it's low fat (bonus!) For an entree I had the fig salad and substituted the cheese with goat cheese. Probably one of the best salads I have had. Only down side is that it didn't come with a protein like chicken or fish, but you can easily add that. For dessert, I highly recommend the tres leches...HMMMMMMM! I left very happy and with a full tummy! :)
(5)Dianna R.
One of the few places in Miami open for breakfast! It was packed! The breakfast has great options and everything was great and large portions. Lots of inside outside seating. Haven't been there for other meals...so can only comment on the breakfast! And I will definitely return!
(4)Enrique C.
I didn't want to like this place. I was secretly hoping it wasn't that good so I could throw it in friend's faces when they talked about it. I was wrong, at least about breakfast. Came here on a Sunday morning with the Big Girl and we were not disappointed. I ordered an omelet with bacon & goat cheese. BG got the pancakes. Both items were spectacular, The service was on point and always eager to help in any way possible. I cannot wait to try their lunch/dinner menu. I will then update the review. My only knock was that they offer free Wi-Fi but it was not working at the time. These things do happen, so I can let it slide.
(4)Vanessa S.
Despite gorging on Christmas Eve, Christmas morning found me hungry and searching for breakfast. GreenStreet was its usual buzzing self. I was torn between two and three stars for the following reasons: Our server was excellent, he picked up our table when we were literally left abandoned in the middle of the dining room with no one to help us. The mimosas were great, juice with no pulp and there was no cheap Brut to be tasted! Steve's Banana pancakes! Served just a little bit warmer, would have been perfection! As far as the two star stuff, it goes a little something like this: 3 egg dishes not cooked to order and all of which that came out cold. When we approached the runner about it, she was quite snappish so we cut our losses and sucked it up. Needless to say, I'm still in search of my "go to" breakfast spot.
(3)M. S.
During the day, it's a nice relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy your lunch during a perfect day at a perfect corner. At night, it's the same except it's night time (and it's dinner, not lunch, and it's wine/beer/liquor, not iced tea). Wow, I'm a genius. I could have said that in much simpler terms. What I'm trying to say here is that this is a great place no matter what time! One thing though, if you're going at night, don't say "I'll go for a bit" because you'd be lying. If you're with good company, you won't notice the time go by because there's nothing better than sitting outside on a COUCH! P.S. What's up with the scooter that's always outside? Anyone know?!
(5)Christie A.
LOVE coming here for drinks at night! The couches, the music, the vibe....I love it! Definitely recommend it for a date night or night out with friends. Now, the food here....eh...I'm not too much of a fan of it to be honest with you. I think its just okay and i find it to be slightly overrated. I find the breakfast to be too expensive for what it is and the mimosas are WAY overpriced, IMO. The last few times I've eaten here I've been left wanting more.....so now I just come here to drink...and that's fine by me...liquid diets rock!
(3)Remy L.
Went there a few times. The brunch and lunch are delicious. The location is fantastic. We love their choice if salads.
(4)Luke F.
Probably a fun spot at night for drinks but I would say don't go for a meal. My cheeseburger came served with a surprising little slice of wax paper deftly hidden between patty and cheese. That means A: they use frozen burgers or gross processed, packaged cheese B: the cooks are not paying any attention to anything. And C: they are trying to get you to choke to death. Unapologetic waitress added insult to injury.
(1)Ross B.
This is cant-miss restaurant and is very reliable.
(4)Vanessa G.
GreenStreet is a great place for 2 completely seperate and unique purposes: "see and be seen" brunches any day of the week, and nighttime cocktails. I'll go in chronological order, since it make the most sense... Brunch: it's often hard to find a place that serves a good brunch Monday-Saturday (and Sunday too), but GreenStreet totally fits the bill. They offer a variety of things to order...from the sweet pancakes, to savory omelletes. My personal fav is the scrambled eggs with jerk spices, and a side of fruit. It's the perfect combination of spicey, savory and sweet! Drinks: lounge on fancy, yet comfy sofas lining the front of the restaurant with a refreshing cocktail in hand and chat it up with local social butterflies. It has the feeling of an upscale lounge, but with no cover or bouncer to annoy you.
(4)Ashley V.
Overpriced but pretty tasty breakfast. The french toast is thick and yummy! The half order is enough to fill you up. I also opted for the fried potatoes as a side and glad I did. They have a decent coffee/fu fu coffee drink selection. I bought a take-out salad from here once, it was good but way overpriced. This place can get busy at breakfast time and there is usually a bit of a wait. It has nice outdoor seating with plenty of available people watching. The inside is sort of odd. The decor and vibe is a little strange, I prefer to sit outside. Overall a cute place and if it keeps the Grove alive I'll keep supporting it. Definitely go here for breakfast or brunch.
(4)Philip S.
I've been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner on different occasions. This place is a great place to come and chill with friends, and grab a bite to eat or a drink. Every time I have been here, the staff is great and very attentive, the quality of the food is pretty good and the prices really aren't that bad compared to other places in the area and compared to what you get in Miami.
(4)Alex C.
5 stars all the way thanks to the incredible service from Giulian on 3/25/12. I have been a regular at GreenStreet for years and wasn't too fond of a late lunch-early dinner experience a few years ago. I have continued going and I have been extremely pleased everytime. I am glad I gave this restaurant a chance again after that negative experience years ago. Giulian was a great server, so much so that I just had to write a review. Their quality of food and service has been consistent the last couple of years, just like what I used to experience when I first started visiting this establishment. Thanks, Giulian!
(5)Dan d.
Next to South Beach, Coconut Grove is the place to be in Miami. Unfortunately, that means the restaurant scene is littered with tourist-traps. As such, my expectations were low when I stopped here for a late lunch. This place has good sidewalk appeal, featuring indoor/outdoor dining in a lively area. To my surprise, I found it to have good food, fast service and reasonable prices as well.
(4)Dave L.
Awesome food. Great outdoor atmosphere. I had the lamb chops. Super tender and tasty. Not the biggest chops but they give you 4 of them so it's plenty of food. Get the mash potatoes. They are super tasty as well.
(5)Sam S.
We ate at the GreenStreet Cafe a few weeks ago during a trip to Miami. After reading the many positive reviews on Yelp I decided we should go here for breakfast. We were seated outside on a very pleasant December day and promptly greeted by our server. My wife and I ordered two eggs over easy with hash browns, bacon and toast. I also had an orange juice. The food arrived quickly and was served hot. With hungry appetites we dug in and the food was great. Our eggs were well cooked, the bacon was delicious, and the toast was good too. Their orange juice tasted fresh squeezed, which is always a plus, and was excellent. If I had to find some thing to complain about I would say the eggs were not particularly season. I had to salt and pepper them quite a lot before they started tasting good to me. But at least they were well cooked. The staff kept an eye on us throughout our meal and was quick to bring us anything additional we needed and kept our drinks filled. I wish there were more places like GreenStreet Cafe in my neighborhood, this cafe was superb.
(4)Tyler K.
Extremely good food! Salmon filet was awesome! Wish it was bigger, though. Friendly staff, good atmosphere!

Always love coming here for my eggs Benedict and mimosas! always a great atmosphere and great service! lunch is great too!
(5)Sebastian E.
I did not put in my comments yet? What? The Green Man must comment on Green Street... The name says it all, or does it. Never really could figure this one out, since it sits in the corner of Main and Commodore Plaza... The food is Mediterranean and has items like hummus, fig leaves and olives as starters; then moves into listings like chicken pasta and salmon salad for main dishes. All good. The best times to come are early on the weekend for breakfast. I note early, because it does get full, very full. Fresh juice, coffee and basic selection of eggs, anyway you can imagine them. Items are served to order and accompanied by house potatoes. I also like the lox here, as well as my favorite, Eggs benedict. The other best time must be happy hour. Once the 3 o'clock hour has passed, they are pulling out the dark red velvet couches and lounges and transform the sidewalk into a true happy place. People watching gets really close up. The bar behind, facing Main, is now open as well and the perfect late lunch or early evening can proceed. Along Commodore there are tables lining the sidewalk for great outdoor seating. Even during light sprinkles, this area stays pretty dry. There are a bar and more tables inside, I have never seen. Greenstreet is the place to sit outside, enjoy good food and drink and take in the full flavor of the Grove. Lookout for happy hours and other specials.
(4)Arly J.
Great Breakfast place. We arrived around 9am and the place was swarming with people our hostess was great and accommodating with our group of six. We didn't have to wait much for a table. We sat inside. The inside area if very eclectic with a library and big red comfy chairs. I have to agree with everyone that steve's pancake and the chocolate french toast were delicious. Our waitress Carolina was great. Wonderful to go before your outing in the grove.
(4)Yvette G.
I love this place!!! I've been coming here for years and used to come Monday nights a long, long time ago when they had 1/2 price bottles of wine. Food is still fantastic, service is good and the outside seating area is great for people watching. My favorite is the blackened mahi with garlic mashed potatoes. Never had to wait for a table and have always had a blast with my husband or group of friends. I've never come for brunch, but will one day when I get up early enough to get there. The only star I would take away is for their abbreviated wine list. They used to have much more variety and now they do not. Definitely a must if you are in the area and want a delicious meal.
(5)Irene C.
I'd come here again more for the ambiance than the food. I like the brunch atmosphere on a busy street corner where you can people watch. (Happy, ambulatory young people, unlike the 85+ population wheeled around with O2 tanks here in Boca). We got here around 2:15 and waited about 5 min on the plush red sofas outside before getting seated. Shared the chocolate french toast, eggs benedict, and zucchini soup. eggs benedict was meh. french toast was good but the blobs of nutella inside were too thick. Server was super friendly and portions were huge (half portion was more than enough for two, and i can eat a LOT for a tiny person). Zuccini soup was pureed, which was unexpected. Tasted more like creamed cauliflower.

I'm surprised nobody has reviewed this place yet. Green Street Cafe has a reputation in Miami for serving hearty and healthy fare - hence the word "Green" in its name! It is a site of many "green" organizations' meetings (probably also because it's in the greenest part of Miami - the Grove). Additionally there was an "art" market going on when I was there on Sunday - I'm not sure yet if it happens every Sundays. I met a friendly artist by the entrance who was painting on wood canvas. He hails from Las Vegas and calls Miami his second home. Anyways, enough of the greenery - I came here for last Sunday brunch because I've heard from several folks that it was better than Deli Lane. And my verdict? It's neck to neck, with everything at Green Street Cafe being a dollar and few cents more. I had the Nova Benedict, which is similar to the salmon benedict at Deli Lane. It was good, but for the benedict itself, I would rather go with Deli Lane - even though Green Street's benedict was much bigger and heavier. But it was the flavor of the salmon benedict at Deli Lane that won me over - with spinach, not so heavy on the sauce, etc. However, the sides of the potatoes that came with the benedicts - Green Street's proved to be better. What about the other selections? Their menu is big and other plates that went by my table looked good. While I would continue to go to Deli Lane for the benedict, I definitely would come back to Green Street Cafe for brunch to sample out the other goods! The service was slow though, but when other staff members noticed, they tried to accommodate us despite their busy schedule - so I know bad service is not an acceptable standard at this restaurant. And kudos to the friendly hostess that knows how to sign! Note: there's a city-owned parking lot around the corner of this place so don't fret about finding parking (even though it isn't free).

I have been here for lunch a handful of times and I wish the food is as good as the atmosphere. Yes the outdoor seating is great and the red couches are plush and comfy, but the food doesn't match it. The one good thing on the menu are the jalapeno poppers. They have a good combo of sweet and spicy going on. The guac is outright bland and tasteless. The penne tetrazzinni is the same; the pink sauce needs a lot more zest. I tried their famous mojito and I don't know why it's famous.
(3)Jennifer R.
I've always had mixed feelings about GreenStreet; I wouldn't suggest the place but I don't mind going there. The turkey panini is great for lunch, enough to share between 2 people because it comes with a big side dish. The brunches a good but doesn't seem to have enough selections. However, $14 for a turkey sandwich is a bit pricey, maybe that's why I'm ambivalent about this place.

Great brunch options, big portions and service. Saturday or Sunday works best.
(5)Derek P.
Green Street is one of those places that have great curb appeal and great food to back it up. You'll be impressed by the outdoor decore, which is comfy for people watching and eating. The portions are filling and the service is on point. Definitely would come here more often if it wasn't for the 2700 mile commute.

greenstreet is one of the best go-to places in all of miami! the indoor area is nice but outdoor seating is what its all about. the bar area is great with nice plush red couches and tv (for sports fans). its full at all hours, brunch, lunch, dinner, late night drinks, and somehow there is never a long wait, dont know how they do it. i almost always bump into someone i know here... since its so popular. ive been going here for years and it never gets old. the burgers and hummus are awesome. but the pasta and salads are also reallly good. i also really enjoy the zucchini soup. breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and they do it well!! the prices are reasonable for the serving size and quality of food. basically you cant go wrong.
(5)Melissa S.
Dear Green Street, God i love your breakfast menu! The goat cheese and tomatoe omelette is decadent and delicious. My BF always has an egg white feta and spinach omelette and always cleans his plate! Lunch and dinner menus are just as good. The salads are enormous and great. All dressings are made in house, i love that! The pizza is awesome as is peppercorn steak. The service has recently taken a dive, i hate to say. As a a regular of over 5 years now, i have noticed. Which surprises me since i know what a psycho Silvano can be. Get it together and i will bring you the full 5 starts you are capable of earning. Love, M

For me, this place is fresh alternative to my normal Brickell and SoBe Brunch locations. It offers the same things as my normal stand-bys -- mimosas, late breakfast, outdoor seating, people watching and retail shops close by for that post-mimosa-buzz-induced shopping spree. While there appears to be many folks waiting to be seated -- even before noon -- we only had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated outside. I like that they offer different kinds of pancakes and waffles including, whole wheat. They also offer different kinds of eggs. Not too many places offer scrambled eggs with different kinds of cheeses. I made the mistake of ordering the scrambled eggs with goat cheese. It just didn't work. It wasn't Green Street's fault -- it is just NOT a good combination (and I still cringe thinking about it). I love how they accomodated our request for a bottle a champagne with a side of orange juice (great way to save $ on mimosas -- make 'em yourself). Overall -- a nice change of pace from South Beach and Brickell -- good service -- but nothing on the menu that causes me to day dream.
(4)David C.
was looking forward to trying this breakfast spot being new to miami... ordered the pancakes and was very disappointed that with the pancakes they serve Smuckers breakfast syrup.... which when you read the ingredients is corn syrup , high fructose corn syrup..... i expect that at a Dennys or McDonalds... and with coffee... non dairy creamer....... expected better quality.......
(2)Armando O.
Great food and ambiance. Service is great. Make sure to ask for Emily and Amy at the outside bar, they are sure to put a smile on your face.
(4)Rick M.
Late night dessert and coffee before calling it a night. Was a good finally to a great evenning.
(4)Ricardo M.
I had to post how bad we were treated. The food was OK. Awesome location. But for me human values come first . the waitress looked like they just woke up with a hangover . made us wait more than 10 min for one order. After 10 min she asked me if I could move because somebody wanted our table really bad. I was very disappointed. I decline and said that was wrong. And she explain that it should not be a big deal. I stayed because I did not want to make a big deal. But I will not come back .. The power of the consumer is in writing reviews and not coming back back or recommending. Some places are amazing but the staff is horrible.
(1)j d.
Had breakfast with friends yesterday. Have been there many times but I was impressed yesterday by both the service and the food. The waiter was very friendly and knew the menu really well so he made a few recommendations. I had an omelette with vegetables and a cappuccino. It was really good! All my friends were also happy with their plates. Great place to go and sit outside. Great location and great service. Congratulations!!
(5)Larry S.
Been coming here for years. BUT...about 2 months ago they changed their Bloody Mary mix. This combined with a horrible pepper around the top of the glass, makes it something I will never order again. The have a new bartender team that needs to go back to bartending school.
(5)Meghan S.
I have only been here once and that was for dinner but I found it to be delicious and definitely worth visiting again. It has an awesome atmosphere that was nice but casual at the same time. I had the lobster ravioli (OMG YUM!!!) and shared the brownie with ice cream for dessert. After reading the reviews it looks like I need to try out the brunch some time for sure. If you are nearby I would definitely say try this place out!!
(4)Laura M.
Love this place! Great service, French toast and omelets
(5)David U.
Delicious food, nice cocktails, and reasonable prices in a lovely setting. I had the zucchini and basil soup with the mahi-mahi wrap. Outstanding fish preparation. Truly, enjoyed it.
(5)Liam D.
This neat (not so little) cafe in Coconut Grove was the perfect place to grab a leisurely pre-cruise departure breakfast. It's located just a little bit off CoCo Walk and boasts an enormous L shaped patio where patrons can bask in the sun while feasting on an interesting and tasty menu. My omelet was delicious (spinach & feta egg whites only), and the coffee was fresh, but the homefries/breakfast potatoes looked like a frozen kind and were a bit disappointing. That said, the meal was good and the locale even better. If I lived in Miami, I'd eat here often!
(4)Kim L.
The local 'see and be seen' corner hotspot of the Grove has always been a favorite of mine. I have been going to Greenstreets for around 25 years for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is consistently good after all theses years. However, the wait staff varies. Recently, the weather was gorgeous outside and I had an out of town guest I wanted to take to the Grove. I havent been here in a very long time and was curious to see any changes. The one change was the wait staff. We had a pleasant server named Jessica. Cute, petite and friendly server who was always making sure we had drinks and attentive to our needs. I am definately going back next week with a friend for her birthday and I hope Jessica will be our server!
(4)adrian s.
This is my absolute favorite place to have breakfast. Outdoor seating a must. The French Toast are spectacular. Lunch and dinner are great here too. You can never go wrong. But I definitely like it for the breakfast. The French Toast are just awesome! Not a bad place to have drinks too. And the prices are super reasonable. My favorite all around, everyday restaurant in Coconut Grove.
(4)Gina P.
Great service. Waitress suggested the specials and they were amazing. Her name is allie. Owner of restaurant personally took photo of me and my wife and made sure everything was up to par. Greenstreet will defenitly see us again
(4)Agnes F.
grabbed lunch here the other day was able to get a seat outdoors so was very pleased food is ok although i couldn't believe the tuna salad was a scoop of canned tuna and not a seared tuna type salad (taught me to read the menu more carefully from now on) service is sufficient don't think i'll go back there, nothing all that special
(3)Max J.
Green Street is what would happen if Alice in wonderland and Tim Burton had a ugly child with each other. That's not to say that the place is a bad one. Just the opposite. Large high backed foux red suede chairs are all over the inside and outside on the street. It's a great place to go and have a semi quiet drink. Their Manhattan's are quite good, for a quick mix, and beers come fast after ordering. There are the "street vendors" you'll have to put up with while drinking outside; but they will pass if you ignore them. I however did not, and ended up petting some guys snake.... No really he had a python around his neck. Go here if you're tired of fighting for a drink in town and want to enjoy a talk with a good friend or significant other. This was a great option for me because im a old man trapped in a 20 year olds body. 3 stars because the chairs are cute, the drinks are good, and the location works for anyone in Coconut Grove. I would like to see a bit more control of the colorful street vendors coming up to your table, and a bit more theme to their décor other then the cool chairs outside. Perhaps some really seasonal premium cocktails would be a nice touch.
(3)Steve G.
Good service, incredible burger. Free drink refills, too. That's rare at a place as chic as this.
(4)Jim R.
Great location on the corner we had grape leaves and drinks. Price right for the area.
(4)david g.
What a killer spot! Great food, fun servers and excellent people watching. Had a lunch and dinner there prior to and after a triathlon. Very accomodating of large parties and a couple of picky eaters. Interesting menu with some standouts - lentil salad, salmon with a fennel sauce. Great vibe to the place all the time.
(5)Joseph Q.
One of my favorite spots in all of Miami. Great food, fun staff, very clean and well kept dining area with plenty of liveliness around the bar at night. A+ every time!!!
(5)Crissy B.
I'd only been to GreenStreet at night for drinks a few times, and found it pretty ordinary. Then I went for brunch. I consider myself to be a bit of a junk-food connoisseur, and must say their cheeseburger is on my top 3 list for best in Miami. Though a bit pricey (I believe it was about $15 for the burger with fries and a glass of water), it was definitely worth every bite. Yum.
(4)Ricardo B.
Always a safe good bet in the grove. Service is hit or miss but their food is consistently good. Place is always jumping too. Anything on their lunch and dinner menus is good.
(4)Lindsay N.
Ordered a salad and the lettuce was old so I asked for another and the second time around was better. The hamburger was a just a regular sisco burger nothing to rave about. Ok place but there's better choices in that area.
(3)Caribbean Cruisine C.
Thanks to comfortable seating (indoors and outdoors), great Bloody Marys and omelettes, this is one of the most popular brunch spots among Coonut Grove locals.
(3)Matt W.
Perfect location in the Grove, lots of outside seating, great choice of malts, vodkas, etc. Always crowded whether for lunch, dinner or just drinks compared to that other place on the other side of the street ;)
(4)Rachel S.
My boyfriend and I went for brunch. Fresh squeezed OJ and watermelon lemonade were great. He said the coffee was awful. He got eggs benedict, I got salmon benedict. Ham seemed like pre-sliced processed meat. My egg was basically cooked through (I mean, hard-boiled by accident) so back it went. It came back on the wheat toast they'd forgotten the first time instead of the english muffin. Oops. Hollandaise was somehow off. All of this could be potentially forgiven - but we were really bothered by the line on the menu under pancakes that said "Real maple syrup available for $1.25 extra." If you are known for brunch, you get points off for serving corn syrup - and more points off for announcing it. I could be convinced to give this another try, but only under duress.
(2)Yeleny S.
While surrounding restaurants are constantly undergoing transformation under new ownership, GreenStreet continues to stand strong and has done so for almost more than two decades. This says a lot about a place always filled with locals, politicians, and pets are also welcomed. I've been coming here for more than 10 years for birthdays, football games or simply dinner or a drink and I have never been disappointed. My boyfriend and I visited for breakfast this weekend. We arrived early, about 9am. You should too if you can, it gets really crowded after 10am and you are more likely to wait. I had a delicious omelet with mushrooms and goat cheese. My better half went for the egg whites with spinach and feta which I tried and almost made me feel guilty for ordering eggs. Well, almost. Come hungry, they are very splendid with portions; my wheat toast appeared to be super sized. Luckily, my man likes to spread jelly and have as desert so no bread was wasted here. We sat at the small, round outdoor tables and though crowded, it was not noisy and was bright with the morning sunlight. Plus sitting outside means taking pleasure in people watching and table side pets like the little poodle whose owner had sat in his own chair. If you are a bag lady like me, a hook under the outside tables holds your bag. You can also sit in the red velvet like comfortable couches, it's signature seating at this Coconut Grove staple.
(4)Diana L.
I love this place! I've only been here at night. It gets pretty busy on Friday nights. People just lounge around on the red couches with drinks or grab something to eat on their regular tables outside. Inside they have a bar and more couches. The services there is very good, our waiter was very attentive. This is definately a locals hangout.
(5)Michael M.
Yeah, only went there in the evening. So my opinion is valid only when considering nightlife, but I was not impressed. The layout was ineffective. Everyone was crowded up at the outdoor bar, but the inside had huge vacant spaces and the bathroom line was long.
(3)Jav M.
too many DBs and middle -aged adolencents hanging out and getting drunk .... the food is okay... and it's a chill place to hang out on a Sunday afternoon.... but other than that.... I do NOT reccomend.
(2)Liz T.
greenstreet is this little oasis of coolneighborhoodieness in the overly touristy grove area. it's been around since the early 80's (i believe) and started with just a few tables. they've expanded since with tables wrapping around both sides of the building and a few rooms inside as well. the standard seating outside is mixed with segafredo-esque seating (ie. awesome antique wooden chairs & loves seats with red cloth). the food is pretty f-ing good. however, over the past few years they've been skimping a bit. for example, their crab cake evolution... 6 years ago... 2 juicy, almost no-filler crab cakes adorned with a huge side salad with house dressing. 4 years ago... 1 huge crab cake with some more filler and a medium side salad 2 years ago... 1 decent size crab cake with a sprig of side salad w/little to no dressing that was pretty much just garnish and even with their (d)evolution of their crab cake, it's still a great little place. their french fries are a masterpiece. burgers are a delight and brunch is usually exceptional (minus the wait). during brunch on the weekends, expect to wait 30 min minimum. also expect to see "The Tribe of the Loud Pants" (also known as the cyclists who like to grab some tasty food after riding in their bright colored cycling gear. i'm convinced it's their unofficial hangout.) feel free to bring your dogs, i do. and bring an empty stomach. only reason they didn't get 5 stars is cause i'm jaded about the crab cakes and their extensive wine list shrunk a bit. :(
(4)Justin P.
I don't know why, but I like this place. The food isn't great, but it's not bad. Same for the service, but whenever I eat here (or even just meet for drinks), I have a great time. Be warned, if you come at the most popular times, this place gets packed and LOUD.
(3)Ryan C.
Great atmosphere and good food held back by tiny tables and high prices if you go for lunch. I go here a lot b/c it's has a great atmosphere out on their patio. It's right on a corner in the grove and it has tons of shaded outdoor seating where you can people watch and just enjoy the day. The only thing that would make the patio better is if some of the tables were farther apart (I can almost always bump into the table behind me by leaning back a little in my chair) and if the tables themselves were slightly bigger. There 4 top tables are the size many restaurant's use for 2 tops. I've never had a bad meal here either and for dinner the prices are reasonable, but since it has the same menu for lunch, the lunch is a bit pricey ($14 and up). I have been here once for brunch and I enjoyed it thoroughly, the portions were huge, and everything was under $10 I believe. Worth stopping by if you're hungry in the Grove.
(3)Brittany E.
Good breakfast.. I've been here once, and liked it.. Although I thought it was uncomfortable..
(4)Ruby D.
One of the wonderful outdoor eateries in the "Grove"...this place is happening for breakfast, lunch, dinner and after dinner. We love having a late breakfast there....lounging outside watching the world move by. The service is quite good and the food is always fresh and well made. Other than the dogs barking at each other, this spot is great.
(4)Stephanie V.
Great place to eat brunch and people watch. Delicious omelets, french toast and baguettes. The downside is the wait on weekend mornings.
(4)V K.
excellent place to hangout, great locals spot, drinks are mixed generously, spot to go on a date, many wine specials, excellent food, beautiful outdoor seating, conveniently located to other bars, only thing is that the interior decorations are a little off, little white plastic men hanging from the walls and ceilings.
(4)Opinionated L.
Wow! There are some serious mixed reviews here. Well, I'll put my two cents in. I've been here a few times after doing my long runs on Saturday morning. I've only ordered the wheat blueberry pancakes and I have to say it is ABSOLUTELY DE-LISH! I'm actually running a 10K in the Grove this weekend and all I can think about is my reward....the pancakes. I'm hooked. The few times I've been, I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes. The outside seating is fabulous and great for people watching and the service has been good. Not great, but good. The reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I haven't been in the evening and I haven't tried anything else on the menu. I can't seem to get away from the pancakes. I like that fact that they're not super greasy and they give you a decent portion. Happy Eating!
(4)Agatha C.
There is better brunch out there. If you're looking for location, they have better places out there. If you're looking for food or unlimited mimosas, you can check out another place too.. The drinks were expensive, the brunch was old and burnt. I don't get it?
(2)Maria M.
My bf and I eat here at least once a week. Great food, ambiance and people watching. Chelsea is the best she always takes great care of us. My favorite restaurant in Coconut Grove.
(5)H. D.
I don't want to be mean but the people that worked here seemed like spaced out zombies that had no clue. The host was arrogant. Our waiter didn't know anything that we were inquiring about and served us a soup that had heavy cream in it when we specifically stated that if the soup had heavy cream in it we didn't want it.... My omelette was disgusting and the potatoes on the side were like rubber. Very disappointed in this place.
(1)Martha S.
Out of all the overpriced and overrated places to eat at in the grove, I find myself having a hard time staying away from here. I guess that must mean this place isn't overrated. Every morning when it is time to eat breakfast, my mind taunts me with memories of the deliciously scrumptious chocolate french toast. Since they only serve it on the weekends, and I work some weekends, I can only get this occasionally! Maybe it is for the best, because if not, I might look quite a bit different with a daily dose of chocolate french toast. Let me tell you about the french toast: Big slices of bread, with a delightfully flavored, custardy center surrounded by perfectly crisped edges. You know--that perfect crisp only rivaled by french toast sticks at a fast food place. All this perfection is presented with a dallop of the most incredible chocolate spread, holding slices of the toast together. Top this with a little natural maple syrup---and you have mouth heaven. If you aren't drooling by now, I don't know what to tell you. Try it out, and just see if you can keep yourself from thinking about every morning. For those that don't have as strong of a sweet tooth as me, there are other more savory options. The bagels are good, and I head they get them fresh from the aptly named outrageous bagels. The breakfast plates are all good. I've tried the caviar, lox, and salsa omlettes, and they never dissapoint (as long as I get my french toast fix). This has to be my favorite place in the grove. Take out is OK, but, the restaurant has some nice outdoor seating, as well as interesting looking indoor decor.
(5)Karla R.
INCREDIBLE! probably the most delicious brunch of my life. me and the hubby had eggs, bacon, toast, potatoes, and red velvet pancakes. everything was perfect, I have absolutely no complaints. will definitely come back for more!
(5)Cassie G.
Atmosphere is definitely what makes GreenStreet a great spot. The outdoor seating is prime people watching territory and a great way to relax after a long day in the office or to chit chat with a friend over breakfast or lunch. Everything I have tried from the guacamole to salmon salad to penne pasta is great and always tastes fresh and light. Despite all the full tables, the service was quick and attentive, unlike a lot of the other restaurant service found in the grove. From reading other reviews, it seems like they have great brunch so I will have to go check that soon.
(4)J R.
Great food. Service is speedy. Can see why it is packed on weekends. Get there early for seating.
(4)Sabrina L.
After taking our cute dogs to the park, we decided to stop by this restaurant. Loved the couches , very original idea. The atmosphere is so Miami...laid back...nice breeze...yummy food! Pros: happy hour from 5-7 girls drink free champagne! Extensive menu with good Vegetarian options! Fresh water for our pets! double plus!!! Service so nice and friendly! Menu items tried: Fish wrap with french fries, Goat cheese Salad and Goat cheese pizza. All three choices were really good..or so everyone said. My wrap was just right, tasted fresh and was just the right amount. Overall, a great evening! I gotta start hanging out in the Grove more often.
(4)Christine M.
In Miami's Coconut Grove village for four days, we couldn't help noticing that this place was almost always crowded. That seemed to be a review in itself, so we took a chance for brunch one weekend morning, despite some not-so-promising customer experiences posted here on Yelp. Well, meh. I had to send my eggs back twice (runny whites), and my sausage back once (ordered pork, got turkey), but the waitress was charming and sincere. So, OK. But nothing was wonderful, not even the hot chocolate or the OJ. Husband had some lox that was "fine." Portions were unremarkable; prices a bit high for what is offered. The location is great, and the seating arrangements -- spilling up and down two intersecting sidewalks -- is generous and inviting for eating al fresco,. If only the food and the presentation were better. It's hard to have a good restaurant if the food is only "meh," even with other strong attributes.
(2)Bin G.
Awesome brunch, wait and be rewarded on sundays. Drink some coffee or a mimosa and relax while you wait.
(4)Mark L.
Greenstreet: a nice introduction for brunch and people watching in Miami. The ambiance sets up for people watching during brunch or late evening when folks are ramping up to party. Upon the recommendation of a friend, we decided to hit this place up for brunch. We tickled our palette with an Herb Tomato Omelet, a stack of cakes, some Chocolate French Toast, satisfying OJ, and the obvious Cuban Coffee. Not being from Florida (let alone Miami), it was great to enjoy brunch in a chill environment. Our waitress did forget a few items, but a friendly reminder remedied the situation. The chocolate french toast combined with the cuban coffee (espresso) made for a great filler. I was highly impressed with the Dyson Hand Dryer ... the only location I've seen this in is Virgin America Terminals. If Greenstreet's attention to detail reaches the bathrooms, you know you have a great establishment.
(4)Andrew S.
If you like to people watch in Miami, and you like to do it with REAL Miamians surrounded by REAL latinas, latinos, northeast transplants while sipping on good drinks in a breezy setting in cozy Coconut Grove, come here. Get drinks you are familiar with, they make um good and strong. Sit outside in their comfy seats and just enjoy it. Early evening is nice. That's it.
(4)Steve C.
This joint is a home run for great people watching in the Grove. The martinis are epic, so are the bloody mary's. I only had a cheese and bread sampler plate here this trip and it was fab.
(4)Maira O.
It's been a couple of years since I have found this restaurant. I love breakfast there. To seat outside early in the morning, with a French baguette (not super easy to find in Miami), some eggs and a cappuccino will get you the feeling you are in right place in the right time. I love to start my Fridays like this. On the weekend the place is full, so it's worth showing up early. The egg plates are big and the fruit one too. One time I had to make some arrangements and ended up meeting the manager who impressed me with his positive can-do attitude. All and all one of my favorite breakfast and brunch places in Miami.
(5)Richard P.
Just an alright place despite the location and great outdoor seating. We came by for a drink and a snack. Their mojito was average by regular standards but in south Florida I would hope for more. We originally want their chorizo pizza to share, but the waitress said they were out of chorizo. She said they were doing pepperoni instead, "which is the same as choizo". That is just sacrilegious to say to any customer. They are nothing alike! Instead we ordered their "classic margarita" pizza. Unfortunately, that apparently meant a cheese pizza. We were expecting fresh mozzarella and basil. We got dried up basil flakes and a just shreaded mozzarella. The other big issue we had was when we found out from the table next to us that they had half off bottles of wine. For some reason the waitress failed to mention that to us. Well hopefully your experience goes better than ours!
(2)Diana G.
I've been here countless times, all good experiences. If you haven't been to Greenstreet then you haven't really seen the Grove. It's a Grove staple as many places have come and gone over the years and this one seems to have that certain "je ne sais quoi" that has kept it open and thriving over the years. This place has great outdoor seating, very friendly servers, one of the best breakfasts in town, and a full bar. Noteworthy items on the menu are the: banana pancakes, French toast, lamburger,and fig salad. You really can't go wrong... they must be doing something right!
(4)Jordan K.
As a bar, Greenstreet is good with plenty of outdoor seating for great people watching in coconut grove. Other than the nightly specials and happy hour though, you will not leave with a small tab unless you know the owner (which half of the people who go there do). As a restaurant, Greenstreet has its moments, i.e. sunday breakfast/brunch. Otherwise it is just so-so in the food department though i do like the lamburger and goat cheese salad. We're all ready and waiting for the revival of Coconut Grove as a popular hangout spot in Miami so that new and better places can usurp Greenstreet from the top of the list of bars in the Grove. The fact that tesame guy opened a nearly identical restaurant across the street makes me less inclined to go to either for some reason.
(3)Tori S.
Loved the lobster ravioli!! And, great spot for people watching Bathrooms were a little gross
(4)Heather B.
The food was okay but way over priced. While we were eating there was a big roach that ran across the wall right in front of us. We informed them about it and they killed it over top of our table. Nasty! The bathrooms were nasty. They made us split the bill on our own, taking us forever to find who got what. The tip says optional but the guy came back and said that it may say it but it's not optional at all. So at this point we just wanted to get out of this place.
(1)Brett H.
I am tempted to give this place 5 stars but I've only been here once...so far. A great spot in Coconut grove with plenty of outdoor seating. It was breakfast time so I ordered some french toast and oj. It was really good. Wasn't able to finish it so don't worry about getting small portions. The service was also really good. The guy recognized that I was in a bit of a rush and didn't forget about me. A must go.
(4)Alison M.
GreenStreet Cafe is one of those places that are good, but that you forget about because there's nothing really enticing you to coming back. For example the food was fresh, portions were pretty decent, and prices weren't too high, but nothing I tried stuck out as being incredible. I ordered the mushroom tagliatelle, which was very tasty, but also incredibly rich. Everyone else at my table had pasta or a salad. Again I think everyone was satisfied, but not blown away. The ambiance was nice. I love eating outside, but they lit ticki torches at one point and the wind started blowing smoke at our table. The really one good thing I liked about GreenStreet Cafe was our waiter. He was pretty funny. As a whole, I think I'd come back to GreenStreet if I was in the area and was at a loss of where to eat, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.
(3)Cara A.
I would say good but not great. Had the cinnamon roll pancakes and everything was good, as expected. My husband had an omelet and said it was dry and a little burned. It is a good location and easy to find.

I've obviously been here a number of times since my initial review. We've made it a regular weekend brunch place because I'm in love with their Bloody Mary's and I think they do have a great breakfast. The docked star is for inconsistencies in both their food and service. Although I've yet to have a bad order of Eggs Benedict here, their Omelets seem to suffer a different fate. They often come out looking like they've spent a little too long on the griddle, but are pretty tasty nonetheless to those of you who may not mind a little browning on your eggs. Service is pretty inconsistent, especially on weekdays when they seem to be understaffed, you can end up being seated fairly quickly only to wait 40 minutes for your actual food to come out. I've had the same experience with dinner when ordering a salad and a pizza, only to wait for an hour to get my food. Considering the downfalls I listed in my review, more often than not, the servers are very friendly and polite and they can't really help the understaffed kitchen. The food is also pretty decent when the eggs aren't brown (as Andy said, these are attributed to Chickens with brown ears) and the benedict never disappoint.

I LOVE MIAMI! and GreenStreet Cafe just adds to the love. Located in the beautiful Coconut Grove neighborhood, GreenStreet Cafe offers indoor and outdoor seating. We went here for breakfast and chose to sit outside because of the great weather and inviting atmosphere. The breakfast menu has a unique variety of pancakes, french toast, and egg selections. It was so hard to choose! My husband and I couldn't decide between sweet and savory, so we ended up to sharing. He selected red velvet pancakes and I got scramble eggs with onions and nova, home fried potatoes, and whole grain toast. Both were outstanding in their own way, and needless to say there were no leftovers. This restaurant is dog friendly, so if you have a furry friend, bring them along for the experience. We will definitely be going back next time we road trip down to Miami to try lunch!

This is one of the best places I went to on my trip. Our experience was definitely not typical, but showcased the cafe at it's finest. I almost want to give it that 5th star, but can't quite. We came on a Sunday morning, slightly overcast. It was pretty sunny, so we elected for an outside table. It was about a 25 minute wait. Next time I'll use yelp to reserve ahead. We got seated at a place way too small for our group. That was a ding against them. They put together another table quickly and sat us down with more room. Generally the drinks and breakfasts in general were well received. Orders were Red Ladies, Mimosas, Bellinis, eggs and caviar, eggs benedict, fruit salad, omelet, muffins, bagels, and a few other things I can't recall. There was nothing that was less then well made. It began raining partway through. It was uncomfortable at first, but then the heavens came down, and it was soaked all over. The waiters scrambled to get everyone inside. We ended up soaked, but we were already finished with our food. They comp our meal anyway, but we really wanted to pay. Everything was outstanding, the service was great, and I generally don't hold places accountable for acts of nature. The fact they comped the meal was very professional, a sign of a place that values customers. I know not everyone will have our experience, but I would recommend, and I will come back next time I am in town.

We came here as our last stop on our bar/restauarant crawl in Coconut Grove. What attracted us there were these red couches that you can lounge on outside right by the street. They had (fake) candles lit up so it was very romantic/intimate. They also had music in the background. The staff was very friendly. They also had a great late night menu that we ordered from. We all got a few Blue Moons and a pizza that was pretty good. Could have been a bit crispier but overall was very yummy. It was a great place for a last stop to sit and chat and enjoy the outdoors!
(4)Rebecca C.
I absolutely loved and adored the food and location. They are central to the Grove, have such great people watching, and cute royalty chairs to sit on outside. The menu is splattered with goat cheese, Yum! I ordered the goat cheese pizza, my friend the goat cheese salad. The pizza was one of the best I've had yet and even better as leftovers. However, they lost a star for a few minor reasons: nothing on the menu was under $15, which seems high even for the Grove to me and I wish the happy hour had more, not just free champagne for ladies on Fridays. Overall, the best part of GreenStreet: they are pet friendly and vegetarian friendly.
(4)Sara D.
We got the best table outdoors, right on the corner. Started w/ Mediterranean platter. I've eaten better hummus, it was Ok. The main course for lunch included for our table Salmon salad which was delicious, fish wraps & chicken wrap.
(3)J O.
Where do I start..... The manager yelling (what seemed to be the manager) over my table or the food that was disgusting. I guess you can't have everything. What an amazing locations Green Street is but what a shame the food and service isn't up to par.
(1)Scarlett W.
had a nice, interesting fig salad here the other day. crowded and messy though, maybe seemed a tad unclean, but it was very busy. Service not the best, but all in all, a nice experience.
(3)Marty C.
Finally got around to going to Greenstreet and was not disappointed. Service was excellent food (omelets) was solid and the people watching is great. Really a perfect place for outdoor dining now that the weather is turning. Added entertainment by watching passing traffic perform the infamous stunts so typical of Miami drivers.
(4)Adriana J.
I can get why people come here during the day--food isn't too shabby (yummy breakfast options, better than lunch in my opinion) and my favorite part: dogs are welcome. But why it's so packed at night is beyond me. Don't get me wrong--the vibe is kinda cool with its wicker chairs and loungey feel but overall? There's nothing too special about it and the cocktails are pretty mean on your wallet. Between sitting indoor and outdoor, opt for outdoor because it is nicer and again, if there's pups around, you get breakfast AND aw-factor.
(3)Lauren C.
Nice atmosphere. Food is average at best. Boring menu. "Jamaican" wings did not have the slightest hint of flavor. Go to LuLu for food and Green Street for drinks. It's too bad they can't walk the drinks across the street to LuLu.

I've been a yelp member for a long time and have never felt the need to write a review until today. It dawned on me today that I've gone to way to many restaurants lately and have not been satisfied with the service I've received. Dwight was my server at greenstreet tonight and made me feel at home. So much so, that before leaving I said these exact words "Dwight, you are the best server I've had in a long time". Everyone in Miami knows greenstreet has reliably great food, but Dwight made the evening extra special. I will always request him as our server. I'm sure the rest of the servers are great as well, but this is just an experience I wanted to share because it deserved recognition. If you ever see this Dwight, thank for sharing your personal homemade snickers with us!!

Too bad your hostess is so bad, Green Street. I was out with my mom, and we were looking for a place we hadn't tried before. Green Street looked interesting. The hostess and 2 waitresses were crowded up at the podium/hostess stand. We stood. And waited. We picked up a menu and started looking at it. Meanwhile, the hostess and the 2 waitresses stood there giggling and discussing guys -- seriously, that's what they were discussing. After probably 2 minutes of looking at the menu, my mom said, "Well, we're not going to get acknowledged, let's check out the Indian place down the block." WHOA! All of a sudden the hostess is asking to seat us, how many in our party, we have room, don't go. . . I politely responded, "No thank you. . . gracias." Then, as we're walking away, I hear the hostess make a nasty dig about my responding in Spanish. No, sweetheart, it's not that I don't think you can speak English -- I don't think you can do your job and should be fired, along with the 2 cackling waitresses that are more interested in discussing their dates than doing their job. AVOID. And for the record, my Spanish is just fine.

**4 1/2 Stars ** Truth is- I have always wanted to hate GreenStreet. Whether it's the anti-establishment part of me that is irked by the massive amounts of people that either check-in here or present it as the Grove/Gables brunch place to see or be seen OR the reason for my deduction of 1/2 a star- the not-so-spectacular lunch/dinner menu. I have always very confidently marched right past GreenStreet each and every Sunday morning towards Calamari where I would happily enjoy their fantastic brunch buffet. Here's the thing- I diet 6 days a week and eventually the stuffing my face at Calamari on Sundays was beginning to catch up to me. So what to do?!!? I'm a brunch-loving girl and needed a new place to sit outside and enjoy my most favorite Sunday pastime where I don't gorge myself like a pig! So the next Sunday I reluctantly give my name to the hostess and was actually pleasantly surprised when the wait I was quoted was 20 min or less! Considering the crowd gathered that was a huge win. The host stand is excellently ran at GS and both this visit and subsequent visits, I have been seated quickly and always within my quoted wait time- which I very much appreciate. So now that I'm seated we will get on to the service and the food. The service is IMPECCABLE. The servers have always been incredibly attentive and accommodating to my picky palate. The food for Brunch is very good- My personal faves are the Lox Platter with a Multi-Grain bagel and either the Scrambled Eggs (sub egg-whites) with Caviar or with Lox and Onion. Yum!! Get them to replace the potatoes that come with the Scrambled eggs with Grits with American Cheese--Double YUM!!! Also bonus points for having a variety of interesting and potent Brunch beverages aside from the traditional and boring Mimosa and Bloody Mary. With that being said- if you aren't going to GS for Brunch then I would be wary as the other menus aren't bad but they are just average. You won't be in for the great experience above. So in conclusion, I am proud to say that I have very much repented from my GreenStreet Brunch hating ways into a loyal GreenStreet Groupie.

Good food and people watching in the grove. Great location. We went for dinner and had a great time. Looking forward to trying the brunch.
(4)Michael H.
Average food, huge portions, sidewalk seating, lackadaisical service. Not a bad place just not a great place.
(3)Fran E.
The best thing about this place is the location and their ample outdoor seating. It's quite nice to sit outside on a cool day people-watching on Main. I imagine it'd be nice to have brunch there but I've only been for lunch and drinks/apps. Their tuna tataki and flatbreads are light and flavorful, but I'd steer clear of the more fatty dishes like their truffle fries which come out soggy and dense. The service is ok- they tend to lurk around the tables but don't actually interact much with guests.
(3)Michell D.
This is my favorite restaurant in Miami... period. Maybe it is because I have been going here with my family since I was a tot and all the memories I have there. The food is delicious whether you are ordering breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Its really good! My favorite things to order there are ANY of their pancakes, watermelon lemonade, and their Ceasar salad with sliced jerked chicken. They have the BEST Ceasar salad that I've ever tried in Miami.. Its a really popular place so if you are a large group or are going during their happy hour and pretty much any meal time during the wkend.. expect a 30min-1hr wait for a table. If you can, go on a random Tuesday for any meal of the day to get a great experience..
(4)Alex F.
Goat Cheese Lamb Burger. That's all you need to know. Seriously though, it's one mean burger. And will leave you craving for more. The staff at Green Street is always friendly. On weekends, the place does get busy, so prepare to wait if you come here for brunch.
(4)Heidi M.
Love it for Brunch! GREAT Eggs Benedict and pancakes the size of 9 inch plates! The breakfast potatoes are crispy fried and delicious! The lunch and dinner menus are also good :)
(5)Carlos H.
one of the best places in Miami to get a lamb plate whether it's for lunch or dinner. The Lamburger w/ goat cheese is one of the best burgers Ive ever eaten, when I go for lunch that's what I usually get. For dinner, the lamb chops with brussel sprouts is a must try. For appetizer my norm is flatbread with tomato and goat cheese, my kids love it too. I go to GreenStreet Cafe often, the best waiters are Zac and Dwight, I usually ask for either or, they are both on top of their game. Best thing is especially being a Miami Heat fan is seeing Lebron James or Erik Spoelstra and the coaching staff which I have seen a couple good times in the past dining! GreenStreet Cafe is a must if your in Coconut Grove and top 5 restaurants in Miami, for quality and bang for your buck.
(5)Rachel P.
Pet friendly Great food A little on the pricey side Good for people watching Long waits on Sunday for brunch, so go early..
(4)Carolina H.
Been going here since I was a kid. Great Sunday brunch. Fabulous ambiance. Great for families. Dog-friendly. A place to go when you have the time to sit back and relax on a beautiful weekend afternoon. Perfect location for Grove residents (if you are not a Grove resident, I assume it would be difficult to find parking :-/ ).
(5)Myriam V.
Good flat bread and martinis. This is as much as I remember regarding the food. What I can't forget is that when I went to the bathroom there was someone drunk in the womans restroom, and the place was a mess, I think the manager and security were trying to take him out. Maybe the martinis are too strong for some people. Overall I would love to come back, very nice environment besides the WC event
(4)Summer S.
It was a fantastic place to have brunch in Miami! We came here on Sunday morning, and the lady said that we need to wait at least 45mins, but we waited for just like 20mins. I ordered original French toast with strawberries, and wow, it was so good. A friend of mine ordered fine herb and tomato omelette, which was very flavorful! I couldn't stop eating her side potatoes from her plate. My bf got a cheese ham omelette, and it was great too. They were welcoming and friendly. It took a little while to get our food, but I understood. It was Sunday morning and the place was totally packed.
(4)Hikari G.
Five days out of the week you will find me and my husband slanty eyed and not so bushy tailed at 5:30am in the gym, but on the one day we spoil our selfs with guiltless edible delights you will spot us noshing out at Green Street. Banana Nutella filled French toast with a stack of pancakes that looks and tastes like a yummy cinnamon roll, that's our uber delish "cheat day" meal and boy o' boy is it totally worth it. This place is a local fave and a great people watching spot for our little one. The fans and coverage outside make S.Miami's chew before you breathe hot humid summers somewhat tolerable. There is seating inside too. Not to mention...but to mention, the virgin bloody mary's (breast feeding mama here) are the bomb diggity'! Parking can be a bit of a pickle because this place gets packed but the earlier you come the more likely you'll find a better spot to not only park but sit. If you haven't tried out Green Street give it a shot, it won't disappoint.
(5)Vanessa V.
Yes, everyone comes here for brunch. Yes, it's almost always packed on weekends. Why? Because the food is good! You've probably already heard about the Nutella french toast. Yes, it's good, very good. But what I really want to talk about is the cinnamon roll pancake. BEST pancake I've ever had in my LIFE!! Perfect mix of flavors, fluffy, and just enough icing to cover them. Order it, you won't be disappointed! Another good breakfast option is the omelettes. They're a very good size portion, enough to share actually, as long as you order some sides. I recommend the truffle french fries for a side. They're thin, crispy and topped with chopped herbs. I have yet to come for lunch or dinner, but I hope to soon.
(4)Suzzett G A.
It was an amazing breakfast spot. Saw good reviews. It was our first time here. It was very pleasant staff wAs wonderful the food was great. Cesar was our service. We will def come back when we visit Miami again.
(5)Bernardette S.
GreenStreet never disappoints. I've been coming here for years. Happy hour, dinner, brunch etc. Their food is always on point and they have great happy hour deals. Salads are great, pasta is delicious as if their flat breads. They have a great ambiance outdoors. Especially by the bar for happy hour. Now if you want to go for brunch on the weekend get ready for a wait. It's usually slammed! It's a great routine place to always come back to with great food, drinks and environment.
(4)Jessica P.
Ehhhhh... Came her for lunch last week because my friend works down the street. I had my dog with me so we wanted somewhere we could sit outside. It's good to go and people watch... I'll give them that. When we arrived we sat and received our menus quickly. I had to ask for a bowl for some water for my dog since they didn't notice he was there and drinking water from my appetizer plate. We ordered 2 beers, hummus, and our food. The waiter didn't really explain anything on the menu or elaborate on our choices. The hummus arrived quickly but our beers took about 15 minutes. I had the blackened dolphin and mashed potatoes. It was good but I don't think it was worth $15. My friend ordered the veggie omelette. When it arrives he noticed that it had mushrooms... He had to send it back because he is allergic to mushrooms! It would have been nice to know what exactly was in it prior to ordering it. They didn't even apologize. All in all, the food is good but a bit pricey for what it is. The service could be a little better too.
(3)Kimberly K.
What a wonderful place to dine when you're starving at 11pm and craving some real, GOOD food. My friends and I ate family style because there was just too much we wanted from the menu. We started off with the truffle spinach dip because... Umm hello? truffle all day every day! How could I resist, I wouldn't shut up about it until we ordered it, and boy was it worth it. There was an instant truffle kick to each bite, like BAM holy gooey spinach and cheesey truffle oil goodness! Plenty for 3 people. I chose a seared tuna salad and the quality of the tuna won me over. This was my absolute favorite dish, perfect for someone on a strict diet to get abs! I mostly enjoyed the tiny, sweet baby peppers in this salad that mixed things up aside from usual salads. They were very unique. Moving on... The blackened dolphin entree was seasoned to perfection, served with roasted asparagus still maintained with its crispyness! And the belly bombing lobster ravioli was no joke... Plenty of leftovers to take home with this one! We finished off with a dessert and their watermelon lemonade cocktail. YOU MUST TRY THIS COCKTAIL! Incredibly refreshing with our flawlessly crafted creme brûlée! I ate 75% of it, despite my full stomach and sharing with two other people haha. I only wish the strawberries they gave us weren't all filled with leaves... What gives?! Giving us the butts of fresh strawberries haha.
(5)Elaine Z.
Greenstreet's ok. I had been here for nighttime outings but had yet to try the brunch/breakfast until yesterday. The menu is a bit bland and mostly offers American staples of egg scrambles, omelettes and French toast. The outdoor setting is definitely a plus, and plenty of tables were available. However, I was rather put off by the service I received. Our waitress was unable to offer our friend a choice of cheese recommendation to go with his omelette despite asking him if he wanted cheese, citing her own personal preference that cheese shouldn't go with omelettes. She then made a face when I put ketchup on my eggs with nova and onion, making a comment about ketchup and salmon. I personally enjoy ketchup with my eggs...and would prefer not to receive judgmental comments when I'm trying to enjoy my breakfast. So there's that. Overall, I might come back if friends insisted on coming. I wouldn't suggest it unless I had a friend who only enjoyed simple breakfast dishes and wanted to sit outside. There are much better brunch establishments everywhere in Miami with greater variety of dishes and pleasant waitstaff.
(3)Michele L.
We went on Friday night at 8pm for dinner. The outdoor bar and seating area was just about full. However, the side outdoor as well as the inside was empty to our surprise. Jennifer was our waitress and she was awesome with serving, knowledge and suggestions. We started with the peach infused bourbon and the ginger infused vodka cocktails which were amazing. The calamari was a good portion to share with a light tempura coating served with a very tasty remoulaude. The large skirt steak was seasoned well and perfectly cooked medium. But the highlight was the porcini ravioli cooked in a cream sauce with pieces of tender and tasty porcinis. The overall service was excellent. We used the $6 flat fee parking lot just to the west which had ample open spots. Note that the resto uses white cotton napkins so you will get covered in white lint if you are wearing black clothes.
(5)Wendy P.
The best puppy-friendly restaurant ever! We celebrated our Pomeranian's 2nd birthday here with a brunch, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming to our pooch! He even sat on his own chair at our table! Our Waiter was awesome, and so were all the others who came to say hi and wish him a happy birthday! I've also been here other times without the dog, and the service and food has always been consistent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!
(5)Nicole S.
I went here for brunch with my family. We made a reservation so we didn't have to wait. The service was really good. The waitress was attentive. I got an ice latte which tasted very yummy. It's made with non-fat milk. I got the goat cheese and tomato omelette, and added spinach. It was delicious and there was plentiful helpings of all ingredients. It came with potatoes and I got the cinnamon raisin bread. My family got the coconut crusted French toast to share. It was incredible. I've tried a lot of French toasts over the years, and this was one of the best. There was a nice crisp on the outside, and good flavor throughout. If you like coconut, this is a must. The French toast is on the sweeter side. Everyone was happy with their meals, so you can't go wrong with what you get.
(5)Jeanette R.
Came here for brunch with a friend and our dog. Friendly staff brought water bowls for our dog as we sat at our outdoor table. Food was beyond amazing I strongly suggest the French toast with banana and Nutella it's incredible I also had the Pina Colada :) best one ever :) friendly staff and great service, affordable pricing.
(5)Kelly N.
I've been here MANY times for late night drinks or whiskey Wednesday's (let's be realistic, who hasn't?) This was my first time sitting down for a meal. I wouldn't say the place was empty, but there definitely was plenty of available tables. The waiter was attentive and friendly. The food was good, but nothing memorable. We were sitting outside and at one point it started to rain. We had to move inside and that's when the experience started to go downhill. We carried out entrees inside and opted to sit at the bar since we were just about finished with our meals and looking for the check. It took a while for our waiter up get back to us, and it wasn't even busy. Overall: the food was good, the service was good, the atmosphere was good. Not great. I'll be back for drinks, and maybe next time I'll try their brunch. I won't be running back for dinner.
(3)Jane B.
We stumbled upon this place during a late brunch hour because of the bustling crowd and fun atmosphere (plus the menu beat most places on the block. It has everything you could possible want). The brunch Bloody Mary was delicious; just the right amount of spice and tang and they garnish it with a piece of cheese and a cherry tomato (umm yes please, and thank you for making your bloody unique) For our meal we decided to split a burger and a steak which was superb and cooked very well. I just want to say that on top of the burger being phenomenal, when I cut it in half to split it, it didn't fall apart. Spectacular. In addition to an entree, one can also choose a side which is included, from a pretty decent selection (for example we both felt like being "skinny" and ordered Bok Choy instead of fries). Our waiter was so great too - just the right amount of follow ups and jokes and made our experience that much better. Will definitely be back soon!
(4)Nicole S.
This is my go-to brunch place. I came here with my boyfriend and we were seated rather quickly. Their wait usually ends up being shorter than what they tell you. Although I would recommend making a reservation if you have a large group. To dog owners: This place is also very dog friendly if you sit outside- they have many fans so you won't feel the heat too badly. I ordered the red velvet pancakes with a side of potatoes and my boyfriend ordered the cinnamon role pancake. They both tasted absolutely delicious- warm and fluffy straight from the pan. I definitely recommend Green Street to anyone looking for a delicious brunch with excellent service for a reasonable price.
(5)Rocio P.
I only had some wine and small bites around dinner time here, including the ceviche and the chicken wings. It wasn't mind blowing food, but the place itself is worth a try at least once in your Miami lifetime. The outdoor seating is definitely a must. With comfy, classic looking couches, wooden chairs and tables; and giant fans to supply the much needed breeze on a Miami's July afternoon. The inside is very nice too. Nicely decorated, with brown and dark-ish tones accentuated by candle lights. A good option, if people watching outside is not entertaining enough to keep you from running inside to your best friend this time around: the AC. I'm not dying to go back for dinner. But reading other yelpers, I would be willing to catch up with a friend over brunch here.
(4)Hershell C.
We were looking for somewhere to have breakfast and I think we found it.. Food was great..
(4)Cristie H.
Probably my favorite brunch place in Miami thus far! I think the menus simplicity is what makes this place truly unique. I started with the caramel macchiato which was outstanding and my boyfriend started with a mimosa with freshly squeezed OJ. We got the eggs Benedict and scrambled eggs with salsa and cheese. We had the coconut crusted French toast as the grand finally and it didn't let us down. Everything was DELICIOUS. No complaints at all!
(5)Jer R.
Went for brunch. The food was decent and our waitress knew the menu in and out. The place was packed and it took a while to get served. However while we waited, we took part in their various Bloody Mary's. I must say. Best Bloody Mary's I've had in Miami so far. Hands down. The spices was just right and flawless each time. Vegetables were fresh and delicious. Would definitely return solely for the bloody Mary's. All of my friends and I decided at that point to stick with the Bloody Mary's and had several rounds. Was perfect every time.
(3)Ashley R.
It was okay. I got the Nutella French toast. I asked the waiter what his favorite was and went with what he said. The problem was it was so loud inside I couldn't hear what he said. I'm not a very big chocolate person so it was too much sweetness for me early in the morning. It's my fault for not being able to hear what he said. The fruit was very good and they coffee was good. We will probably go back at some point but I will make sure to sit outside so it's not so noisy and I won't order the Nutella French toast. The location is nice and the ambience has a great feel.
(3)Sugey Z.
I've been looking for a really great place to have brunch in. THIS is that place. I had the Nutella stuffed French toast and potatoes and my boyfriend (not a big fan of pancakes) had the red velvet pancakes and fell in love. We've had red velvet pancakes in other places before, but never as amazing as this place. My Nutella stuffed French toast was perfect, and made better by the strawberries and blueberries it was topped with. The service was amazing! Our waiter was kind and attentive. He made our experience a great one. All in all, I loved it. And I highly recommend it to anyone that loves a good brunch!
(5)Alessandra P.
I'm never disappointed when going to Greenstreet Cafe. I've come here for brunch and dinner and they're both great. Despite the Miami weather, eating outside is really nice. For brunch, I recommend the Nutella Filled French Toast. If you're a chocolate freak like me, you'll definitely enjoy it. I've also had regular pancakes, which were great as well. When you're here for brunch, don't forget a mimosa! You can't brunch without a mimosa! The lunch and dinner menu are pretty much the same. When I go for dinner, I usually get the tomato fresco angel hair pasta. You'd think since it's pasta, it'll be heavy and make you feel gross, fear not- it's light and delicious! I recommend coming to GreenStreet at anytime of the day. They have a great happy hour! Monday-Friday from 5-7, and another one 11 pm-close! If you go on a Wednesday (whiskey Wednesday) or Thursday night, try to get there early if you want a table. Consider yourself warned!
(5)Eve S.
This place is pretty good. I went on Friday morning with my sister and nephew. I wish I would've known they were pet friendly . A bit too pricey though, and VERY HOT OUTSIDE. Please add some more fans. Our waiter was very friendly. Food was good as well we had thecinnamon pancakes and a veggie omelette with an ice coffee.,& service was amazing. I will definitely be coming back to this location :-) Thanks
(4)Annie F.
Great Service, Food, Atmosphere! Reason for the 4 stars is it took the waiters a little to figure out who was going to help out the table of 3 people?! Not that busy; however, enough for them to be confused?
(4)Carolina E.
Great spot, great staff, great food! I feel like it's hard to find a brunch place that has unique options, but there was a lot ok the menu I regret that I couldn't try bc I won't be able to try it elsewhere. As for the staff, they were exceedingly kind and charismatic. Definitely would come back here!
(5)Kelly M.
The food is very delicious, hands down best French toast ever. I love the system they have for calling you, I was told it was going to be 45 minute to an hour wait so I had the chance to walk around because they call you and text you when the table is ready. The one down side was the wait for the food, I had to wait close to an hour for my food after ordering. That was little upsetting not especially since I didn't order anything big and complicated, but besides this I would definitely recommend this place for brunch!
(4)Assel U.
The banana pancakes are to die for: fluffy, freshly made. Turkey apple sausage can go with anything. The apple juice could be a better quality. Egg omelette had plenty of mushrooms as I requested. Good food, okay service.
(4)Alejandra M.
My favorite brunch/lunch spot! Service, food & cocktails have been amazing every single time. I love this spot even more because of its awesome location in front of the Barnacle State Park where you can take a nice little stroll with a beautiful waterfront view to walk off all that yummy food. Personal brunch time favorites: Nutella French Toast, Coconut Crusted French Toast, & Grove Goddess (prosecco & watermelon cocktail) Lunch/Dinner favorites: Lobster Ravioli & Mojitos Everything always tastes really fresh from their food down to their cocktails with real fruit mixers. The menu changes from time to time and between brunch, lunch & dinner but they are so great that at any time of the day they have accomodated it so that I could have my favorite drink or dish even if it's not on the menu. They sure know how to make you feel special and very well attended to.
(5)VicFer F.
I have come to GreenStreet cafe for the last 5 yrs.... I am so greatfull and please to let my friends and colleagues know that it's the best place for Happy hour and dinner. I want to go on record that waitress Marjorie provided the best service possible to me and my wife. We always look to be serviced by her. She is excellent! And this is great business for the establishment. Keep up the great work....
(5)Neal R.
First time here. I came with my brother and friend, and I loved every single minute of it! We went in the late afternoon, and it was nice to dine outside. It was like dining in France - imagine being on the Champs-Elysées! The staff cared about serving us when we needed to be: our waitress Caithleen was very friendly! However, she wasn't the only one who attended us. Another brought us menus, and another brought us the food. I don't think I saw that kind of customer dedication at any other sit-down restaurant. The food itself was presented very well, and had superb taste. For our appetizer, we had the Truffle Brie Puff Pastry with the usual bread and butter. My brother had the Curry Chicken Ravioli; my friend had the Sylvano's Linguini (chicken linguini with pesto); and I had the Aged Goat Cheese Ravioli. My dish had a nice texture and bold flavor. For dessert, Caithleen recommended the Raspberry S'mores: chocolate mousse on a graham cracker crust, topped with a marshmallow brûlée. One thing that I have to complain about, though, is that they don't have any iced tea flavors: just regular unsweetened, but was able to make up for it with some honey. Other than that, I can't wait to come back! I would like to try making my first date here: at night on the soft red couches outside. I recommend this place a lot!

1st thing mentioned in reviews: people watching. A great place to sit outside on a sunny & breezy day and look at the Coconut Grove commotion. Also: you can use the "Make an Online Reservation" OpenTable function on the Yelp app to save a spot at this busy place. We did it on our way there and it was helpful! They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner but I've heard brunch is the best time to go. I was referred here by friends raving about their Nutella French Toast, a crowd favorite it seems. However I was starving and craving some protein, so I got a pasta dish with chicken in it. The Penne Tetrazzini was heavy but delicious (no pine nuts were to be found though). My friends got the Red Velvet Pancakes and Omelette, which were good. I'm definitely coming back to try their French toast. Good place to bring out of town guests or have a nice brunch with friends.

Love the new emphasis on craft cocktails! Maria prepared a spot on Manhattan that will bring me back every time I'm in town! Thanks! :-)

Had the blueberry and granola pancakes for breakfast and they were delicious! Only reason I'm not giving this full 5 stars is because it's a bit pricey for just two pancakes with no eggs or anything on the side. Tried my friend's Nutella French Toast and MAN is that worth it! SO GOOD
(4)Grecia P.
Started off with a Bloody Mary, which was good, but would be nice if it had a few more condiments... maybe a stick of chorizo, or cocktail onions, extra olives... then tried the Straberry mojito and it was delicious. While sipping on our cocktails we decided to have the brie wrapped in a pastry with a honey glaze and that was delicious, but I would suggest that they no longer serve it with those crackers because they are too hard and simply just not good. Overall it was a nice experience and we might return.

After spending much time here I can honestly say the food is phenomenal and atmosphere is charming. The flexible dinner menu and combined with the full bar and barista makes it completely worth the price if you come here knowing what you want. Along with dinner this is the perfect choice for a quick sit down breakfast with friends -during the weekdays.. That being said, I would feel as if I am doing you a disservice if I did not tell you to steer clear of this restaurant's busy hours -weekend brunch, for two reasons: The first and most forgivable reason is the disorganization of staff. This makes for a long time to be seated and long hungry wait for your food. When you are seated finally, there is a strong possibility you will be seated outside. If so expect to sweet under the sun and beg for your water to be refilled. The second is the most prominent reason to stay away from the brunch hours. The general manager present normally this time is EASILY flustered and consonantly out of line in front of guest. As hard as it is for me to say this about another person, I must say, he is very unprofessional and borderline mentally unstable. My unadorned recommendation is straightforward: If you are looking to impress your significant other on a date, come to this restaurant for quite candlelight dinner, try the Penne Tetrazzini or Sylvano's Linguine, and order a bottle of Chianti which pairs perfectly. As far as going here for brunch, dine at your own risk. Edit: A sincere apology from the owner and manager, not more then two hours after posting this review, compelled me to add another star. Willingness to improve means a lot and this review will change as my opinions change with my next visit.

This is a review from 2008 so it may be a bit outdated. The decor of this place is very cool. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. If I recall a lot of the furniture didn't match but that made it cooler. The food was healthy portion sizes but I recall the prices were a bit on the high side. I remember the food really being good. It's not a place to go if you are in hurry so don't expect super fast service.
(4)Marian P.
Deliciousss brunch! I come here for the whole wheat pancakes and my husband loves the egg benedicts! However, BE READY TO WAIT about an hour for your table and 20-30 mins for your food!

This is THE PLACE, according to locals and YELP. I totally understand when a place is busy. I get that. BUT, we waiting 10-15 minutes for my cappuccino AND IT WAS COLD!!! I also asked if they could add 2 sugars when making it: Evgenia, our waitress pointed to the sugar packets on the table and told me I could do it myself. Thaaaaanks.... Then 45 minutes later our food came. My lox Benedict came out "crusty" looking. OBVIOUSLY, it had been sitting out for quite a while... While we just sat and sat.... I sent it back and the waitress said, they must have LOST my ticket?? Then I over heard her apologizing to the table next to us again complaint about the kitchen. I do not wish to wait 15 mins for COLD hot beverage Nor do I wish to wait 45 mins for COLD hot entrees. Obviously , This is NOT THE PLACE !!!! Never again, Thanks but no thanks

I've been here more than a few times at all times of the day and still haven't found ANYTHING wrong with this place! It's perfect for a good meal with a great atmosphere.

Best place around for breakfast! To be honest, it's not even worth trying another spot. Enjoy!

I hadn't been to Greenstreet lately, but had delicious memoriew from prior brunches as well an Elite event a little while back. Remembering they're pet friendly and wanting to share Mother's Day with my mom and fur child, I called to verify that pups were still welcome and drove here. Despite a full outside area - including a couple of other four legged families - our waiter Aaron was a superstar. A lot of pet friendly spots will just bring you a water bowl. We asked, and were told they could grill a side of chicken which was brought on an actual plate. My pup would also give Green Street Five Stars! As far as human food, my mom and I shared Spaghetti Bolognese and Chicken Linguini on a pesto sauce. Both portions were generous, and my favorite was the spaghetti bolognese. The marinara was nicely balanced with the sweet taste of pine nuts and al dente pasta. The chicken in the linguini was also lean and fresh. Dessert was a fluffy, sweet key lime pie with whipped cream and a latte to close out. Besides Aaron, the other wait staff was very pleasant and fast, bringing our plates in a timely manner, photographing us and one even telling us about their fur baby. Great food and service, Green Street! Thanks for helping us have an excellent Mother's Day!

You can't go to the Grove and miss the Green Street Cafe. After hearing the name mentioned over the years, a brunch catch-up brought me here and I was satisfied. For a place that I thought would be just a cute cafe, it turned out to exceed my expectations with an eyebrow raise. I like that they offer alcoholic brunch beverages, it's keeping it classy. The coconut crusted french toast was my highlight, and the omelets were made to order. I would definitely come back to try the lunch menu. Besides the food, there was a downside in my visit that I cannot ignore. We got there and asked for a table for four, the projected wait time was thirty minutes, okay fine. Our group was so consumed in talk that we didn't realize how much time we had killed. We had stood around for almost an hour, not getting any word regarding our table being ready. So, after noting the time, we went to the host inquiring, they asked if we ever received a text, uhm no. Finally, we are seated walking by three empty clean tables. The staff just came off as un-enthused that they had an actual job to do. We were clearly standing right in plain sight, as they clumped together talking amongst themselves. It's a good thing that I was in good company, who made me forget about my hunger pains. The atmosphere is cute and cozy and very the Grove. On a sunny day, it's a good atmosphere.

Went for Sunday breakfast and we were less than impressed. The food was cold, there was a hair in the sausages, the Nutella french toast sounds better than it tasted. Have definitely had a better Bloody Mary. Won't come back for breakfast/brunch.
(2)Hilda H.
I've been coming years to this place and the food has never changed. It's always top quality and fresh. The service is nice and on the servers are on top of their game. Mother's Day and special holidays it's a mission and the waiting time for a party over three can be up to two hours wait. I decided to bring my mom today for her special day and boy was it hectic. He had some bumps on the road with dirty silver wear but as long as the food is god and the service it's A quality I don't care about the small details, besides silver wear can easily be replaced . Out of all managers in different restaurants who just wait around and overlook the employees this manager is the opposite. Sean at Green Street was constantly in the move. He was sitting people, even getting tables ready and interacting with clients to make sure they were happy in this busy day. The food was amazing as always, we had the churrasco with Basmati and the meat lasagna we had it accompanied with a fresh delicious house salad and four watermelon tequila Martines for me. Mom had to top it off their vanilla bean cheesecake with a scoop of ice cream for her diabetic heart. Everything was smooth and flawless and we were treated like nothing less than royalty. I always come back here, I always love eating here, now I just have to bring AK here so we can have the same experience.
(5)Ashley D.
Beautiful location and ambiance. Food is phenomenal, especially the nutella stuffed french toast. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Service is a little slow and hostesses were less than amused to be there. Seating can be very limited and awkward. The food is good enough to somewhat overlook it but it is still an issue. They definitely need to be more organized.
(4)Katrella S.
I enjoyed my veggie omelette with jerk seasoning. This is my first trip here but definitely not the last. The truffle fries are so good. The service was on point and really deserved the tip they got. Loving this place and the food is good.
(5)V S.
Just had breakfast there. Haven't been in like 10 years. I had the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. My friend had the Coconut Crusted French Toast. So affordable. So delicious. Such a lovely setting. Loveseats under the sun and all. Very nice! I wonder what it'll be like at night. Will have to Come again to find out.... :-)
(4)Marlon F.
We needed to kill some time in the morning and the Yelp reviews led us here, and we're glad it did. The Nutella stuffed French Toast is as advertised, awesome. Another hidden gem, if your 8 and 10 year olds don't already have cavities, are the Cinnamon Swirl pancakes. They promised to clean their rooms and wash the car if I would bring them back here again. I had the scrambled eggs with mushrooms, onions and peppers....again, it was worth every penny. The potatoes that come with the eggs were season and cooked to perfection.....and don't sleep in the Coconut Crusted French Toast, another solid dish worth trying. My only two knocks are that the service was a bit slow and the coffee of the day was nothing short of awful, but the fresh squeezed OJ I replaced it with made up for it. Definitely coming back, early and often!!
(4)Jordan P.
So I'm not really sure why this place has so many good reviews. Perhaps this is the best the area had to offer? This restaurant was mediocre at best. A group of six of us showed up for brunch and we were told we'd have to wait an hour. Now, I don't like waiting, but a wait at brunch is normally a sign of good things to come, so I settled into a comfy couch and waited. Sadly, I was sorely mistaken about the food. I make better brunch at home. Everything was lukewarm when it came out and there was nothing special to it at all. The only food at the table that looked ok was the Nutella French toast. Mind you, this is AFTER we waited an hour to be seated and then another 30 minutes for our food to come out. The only good things about this place were the drinks and the outdoor seating. So check the place out if you just want to have a drink and sit outside, but if you actually want warm, decent tasting brunch food, go elsewhere.
(2)JoCat R.
The ambience in this place is always great! Definitely a great spot to have breakfast or brunch but this time I tried lunch - the shrimp scampi pasta. It left much to be desired, it was watery and not full of flavor. The shrimp were cooked nicely. Another thing that is great about this place is that on Wednesday is Johnny Walker black label drinks for $5! You really can't beat that.
(3)Shannon H.
I have not eaten anything here besides brunch, despite the numerous times I have been here. Whether you choose to eat inside or out, there is something to be said about the quirky casual vibe of GreenStreet. The food goes right along with it. I cannot begin to list how many entrées on their brunch menu I have tried; however, I can say that every time I order the applewood bacon and a watermelon lemonade. My mouth is watering just writing this. Hopefully I will be back in town to grab brunch here again soon.
(4)Yuliya M.
Incredible nutritious food! Beautiful decor. Great service. No wonder there was a 90 min wait the other day. Would be worth the wait.
(5)Maurice C.
I live in downtown Miami and I've been a customer at GreenStreet Cafe twice now. Good food is a MUST for me, a priority if you will. GreenStreet Cafe has yet to disappoint me, the food, staff and atmosphere are simply amazing. I highly recommend heading over to the Cafe if you are looking for a satisfying breakfast/meal.
(5)German M.
LOVED IT! I came here on Sunday for brunch and left very pleased. I had the spinach and feta omelette with their oven roasted potatoes -- these potatoes are the best ones I've had, delicious. A must try here is the nutella stuffed french toast (avoiding the thought of the number of calories you are eating): so flavorsome! The server was very attentive and didn't even noticed him as I was too busy devouring my food. GreenStreet is very affordable -- I think the drinks I had were more expensive than the food so watch out! And the only bad aspect of coming here on the weekend is the wait time -- had to wait 45 mins but you can walk around and they text you when your table is ready. They are not that organized as they gave my table to someone else and I had to wait 15 more mins. However, if you are patient and go there knowing this, you'll do just fine.
(4)Michael M.
This is the all round perfect place to eat and be social.. Something about the layout of the place, the menu, and even the staff makes green street a staple as has been for years... Breakfast, lunch, dinner ,happy hour, late night and or simply drinks you can't go wrong.. I could write for days but it's one of those places you that if you haven't been to or heard about you need to go to... That's as real as it gets.. If your a newbie try their breakfast /brunch and you will see what I mean.. There will be a wait 9/10 times but it's worth it and you can have a nice drink at the bar while you wait... I'll never steer ya wrong.. Go see!!! A Coconut grove staple...
(5)Kate M.
All around great experience! Our server was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgable of the menu. Went for breakfast and sat outside which had plenty of fans to keep the customer's cool in this August heat. I had the coconut crusted french toast which melts in your mouth!
(5)Tee S.
Great restaurant. We had a salad with pecan's and figs. Hubby loved it. Bit too sweet for me but it was fresh and gorgeous. Best vegetarian lasagna had in a long time and the hubby had a steak dish he raved about. Service is friendly and the drinks spot on. Only thing did not warm up to was all the pictures of the Native Indians on the wall looking very sad. And not one of the servers could tell me the relevance to the actual restaurant.
(4)Francisco S.
A must go to in the Grove. The staple for brunch, but wait is sometimes too much. Also great on Whiskey Wednesdays. Lamb burger is great, as well as all their pizza options.
(4)Mark M.
God-awful café con leche. (In Miami! Any hole-in-the-wall here does better.) Eggs fair. Great bread. Noticeably amateurish though very friendly service. Yuppie (does anybody still use that word? None other comes to mind) slash tourist clientèle. (Saw not one patron smile in my 45 minutes here.) Reminiscent of NYC's Saloon, long-time stalwart of Lincoln Center, where locals would only go if they were hosting out-of-towners. Far from bad, but doubt I'll be inclined to return.
(3)Fran N.
Really good food here, the service or the server took a little while to even get to us but I think that was only because she didn't even know we were sat, the host just pretty much told us to sit anywhere and didn't give us menus but that did not derail us from enjoying the food because it was really just that good! And our server was quite good once she realized we were hers. Would come back to eat here again!
(4)Rakesh M.
Always great for brunch. Everything on the menu is very tasty. The French toasts are a personal favorite. The drinks are also great. The service is always friendly.
(5)Tram L.
The overall experience was great. This place has an amazing breakfast and brunch dishes and vibes. However, it is very American traditional food, so don't expect diversity from it. Staff members are friendly and nice. One thing is that this place is extremely packed, expect around 10-20mins wait. Also, if you're here, try any dishes with potatoes, they're well cooked and delicious. Lastly, great environment to hangout with your fellows, it's definitely worth a try.
(4)Duval V.
GreenStreet Cafe, always an option.
(5)Hilary J.
I wish we ended up going across the street to the other breakfast spot. The menu was pretty boring and we came all the way out from South Beach to have breakfast. Not worth my ass falling asleep on the scooter for it.
(2)Claudia L.
So....where do I begin??? The Bloody Mary was the highlight of my experience, not because it was the greatest but because the alcohol masked the mediocrity. The waiter, Efrain, actually asked my husband to hand him my dirty plate! The table was not really clean when we sat-some crumbs left over from the previous guest, but I overlooked it....then I started to look at the floor around me, which was filled with garbage: receipts, sugar packets, napkin rings and other detritus. And then I got my Coconut Crusted French Toast! All I can say, is that I made better French Toast at 15 than the chef at his restaurant! Not sure if he or she ever heard of the word 'custard' which was totally lacking in my dish. What I had, instead was a 3 inch thick piece of bread: dry and taste free. My side of potatoes were more tasty if only because they tasked like bullion and I like salt! But I don't go out to eat for bullion. And last but not least: the trash that accumulated on my table, (the aforementioned items that other patrons felt fit to discard in the floor) stayed there throughout our stay-Efrain never felt compelled to clear it off, or our dirty glasses.

Another great lunch! Breakfast for lunch this time. The vegetable omelet was delicious, and there was plenty to go around! The great and friendly service keeps me coming back on a weekly basis!
(4)Stephanie P.
CINNAMON ROLL PANCAKES. I feel like just ending the review there. I mean that's more than enough reason to go. It's a pancake that tastes like a cinnamon roll. It's amazing. So so good. Mimosas are good too :). My friends had omelets and said they were delicious along with the potatoes that were the best part supposedly. Only not five stars because parking is a mission and it's $10. Service is great and outside is ideal but inside is super cute with brick walls and books!
(4)Chiyon Y.
I had not been to the Grove in years, and it has definitely changed. I'm not sure if it was due to Spring Break, but Thursdays in the Grove is not what it used to be. Which, i actually prefer... i'm way past the crowded bars scene era. So GreenStreet... We ordered our drinks at the bar inside, which was entirely empty. Obviously, service was great since we were the only patrons inside. We proceeded to a table outside. All tables were full and some people at the bar. A friend soon joined and it took about 10 minutes to flag down the server for a drink. The poor girl was the only one serving the outdoor area, or it seemed. Service was quite slow and terrible. We ordered some food from the late night menu... Not sure if it's because it came out late, but food wasn't hot, just warm. * Chicken Fingers - meh. Nothing great about them, thick batter. * Hummus - good. Came with some pita, I would have liked them to be toasted, but whatever. * Goat Cheese Flat Bread - better than I expected. Menu should indicate it comes with roasted red peppers.
(2)Van N.
Great foods and service! Love the Vegetable & Goat Cheese Pizzas! Others in our party enjoyed their Lamburger, Salmon & Chicken Salads. Definitely will return!
(5)Dani L.
Awesomeee have always loved this place. By far whisky wednesdays is the day to come ! Also for breakfast and brunch. You can never go wrong with the tomato flat bread and smoked salmon dip!
(5)Linda L.
The bar is on a corner and is very lively. The lights hanging on top the bar are unique and looks like a dungeon. There's plenty of seating along the bar and there's alot of red velvety sofa chairs. Very chic and comfy! The menu has unique drinks, the usual cocktails, sangria, beer, wine, and a decent selection on draft. I tried Mango Rush with shipwreck Mango rum and pineapple juice. Sweet and juicy, well mixed. I saw a food menu too but we had just ate so couldn't stomach any more food. On a Friday night, it wasn't extremely crowded or loud. The parking is either parallel on the street or at a lot nearby. Usually there's a flat rate for the whole night.
(5)Marqus R.
My experiences at GreenStreet are rather limited, but good ones. Though it has indoor dinning and they claim it as being a café, it's really more set up as a swanky street side patio lounge; being a little more street posh elegant than a café. The variety dishes offer on their menu are rather decent, but since I usually go for what is out of the norm ordinary, I went for the Lamburger which came covered with a delicious flavor to the lamb, enhancing to the flavor of the lamb, goat cheese topping. In speaking with the other patrons present, I found most of them to be regular repeat customers of GreenStreet, all of whom applauded the food, particularly their breakfasts. What I particularly like about GreenStreet is the easy going laid back street side atmosphere of the place, and of course, their big patio covered sidewalk side bar. All in all, a really great place to grab a meal or drink, relax and sort of soak up the culture and vibes of what is Coconut Grove.
(4)Natalie S.
Changing my review because the owner gave apology for long wait and hold the situation professionally. Good management is important.
(4)Kearstin E.
It's OK, definitely overrated. 2.5 Stars Pros: Atompshere is very upbeat and hip. Good place for brunch and people watching. The inside is very beautiful and the bathrooms are artistic as well. The outside is more popular to just soak in the air and admire the neighborhood. The wait staff is very friendly. Cons: Very poor/disorganized level of service from the Host staff. We were quoted an hour and our name was put into the ipad. We waited in the bar area and noticed many other newcommers around us- on the waiting list as well. After an hour passed not only were we not called/paged, the host staff started coming around and personally picking groups of people that had just put their name in- to go to a table. We went up to ask what was going on and the host told us their ipad went down so they just started choosing people- literally. The food was mediocre at best and the menu was very limited. I don't like coming to a restaurant and waiting over the quoted time as the hosts are choosing what people they'd like to sit over the ones who have been waiting all this time. It's unprofessional and biased. 3 stars is very high for a place with ok food and bad service. Location and atmosphere is all they have to offer.
(3)Greg B.
Fantastic organic Bloody Mary's and the blueberry granola pancakes are tops. A wonderful spot to start the day.
(4)Maria M.
This place was very delicious. The French toasts are the best I've ever tasted and the omelet plates are huge and very filling-which I think is good according to the price. However I do think the orange juice which is always fresh and tasty is a bit pricy for 3-4oz. The place is beautiful, nice for a romantic date or an all girls day!
(5)Jessica P.
Greenstreet has the best brunch! It's definitely the best idea to share plates so you can taste everything! I love ordering the omelets & Nutella filled french toast, so good! Also have to try their frozen cappuccino drinks, yum!
(5)Melissa M.
One word: UGH. I could not get out of this place fast enough. I'll just present some facts to you about my experience, and let you draw whatever conclusions you so desire. Got here around 9 AM on a Sunday, and waited over an hour for a table in the blistering heat of a June day in Miami. Went inside to order a drink at the bar in the hopes that the air conditioning would provide relief. It was shotty at best, and barely did anything since this place is packed like sardines with your typical Coconut Grove types. While standing at the bar, I waited about 10 minutes to be served, then another 5 to receive my two drinks, which cost me $20. The four of us were finally seated and waited another ridiculous amount of time to be served. 3 out of our 4 dishes arrived at once, within a reasonable amount of time. However, while the three of us with food tried to wait to start, the food was clearly not coming any time soon. Checked with the waiter twice, both times receiving some stuttered dumbfounded reply. Meanwhile, I reach the middle of my whole wheat pancake to find raw runny dough. Finally, after the three of us had our food for 20 minutes, we told the waiter that we had to leave and forget the fourth dish, and take back my uncooked pancake. The only time we were served appropriately was when given our check. Thankfully my pancake nor the missing fourth dish was included in that bill. Do yourself a favor and don't ever go here.
(1)Erik-Lizzie D.
We dropped in last night for late night happy hour which is 11p to close. It was full but we found a little table by the bar. Loud music, maybe too loud, but still yummy drinks and the caramelized onion flatbread pizza was crazy crazy gooood! The mango martini is my new fave drink I discovered here a few weeks ago :) Highly recommend!
(4)Elizabeth R.
Ah, Green Street. Hands down, THEE place to people watch in the Grove. The place I drink champagne on a Friday nights until I just about fall over - for FREE (ladies special only). I can't tell you how many good times I've had here over the last 2 years - it's the go-to spot for my whole crew to hang out, discuss what we are doing for the weekend (and beyond) and shake off our hectic work week. The service is always great and the food is very basic, good and consistent. I usually end up ordering the margarita pizza or the mediterranian plate (grape leaves, generous pile of hummus and tabouli, pita) - always yummy. The calamari is just OK - not the best I've had, but still pretty tasty. A friend of mine orders the Bolognese pasta often and she always says it's very good too. I almost forgot about the Blue Moon beer specials - $3 a beer on Fridays... It's Friday and I'm headed over there tonight!
(4)Megan S.
I am in a hard place. Wahhh! This place was good but quite pricy. I wanna give 3/5 stars because of the pricing, but I think that's silly of me because touristy areas are not going to be cheeeeeap :3 I'macheapladymeep! ANYWAY, the food makes it worth a 4/5. I love that they give you some sort of spicy baresque peanut mixture before you get your food. Yum! Swallow that stuff up! I ordered a veggie pizza that was vegan (cheeseless :D) without having to ask. The hostess asked me!!! (Do you want cheese? Nay!) I was glad to have that option. ^.^ It was a really good sized pizza! Nice place... open late... yay & yay! : )
(4)Michelle Z.
This place might as well have a "Runners Welcome, Mimosas Flowing" banner as you approach the hostess stand on a Saturday morning-they are a favorite for early morning runners on Saturday- and my Team in Training team and alumni are no exception. We always get seated quickly ( even at times when the number of people in our party can go from 4 - 15), the service never suffers due to the overflow of orders and diet specific alterations to meals-and- you get eat a hearty breakfast for under 10.00, while sitting out on grand ave people watching and enjoying the Miami weather. Everyday they serve breakfast till 2pm- but on Saturdays and Sundays they do offer Eggs Benedict which do not disappoint. Not to mention their banana chocolate pancakes, or french toast - their pancake and french toast orders are gargantuan! I usually order their one egg ( which really looks like two) and it comes with a side of toast and their breakfast potatoes for 4.99. STEAL! the mimosas however, are 8.00 a flute- I would like to see a different pricing for that someday-your drink shouldn't cost more than your entire plate of food! They also have alot of a la carte items, as well as a full lunch/dinner menu after 12. I have never gone for anything other than breakfast- eventually I will. Other than that-this is a staple of my Saturday mornings in the grove with teammates- failthful service, and never disappointing.
(4)Christian L.
Came out for a late lunch and received impeccable service. We decided to sit outside on the sidewalk to enjoy the weather along with the food. We were told we can sit anywhere we liked and the server promptly came out. He suggested the watermelon lemonade and brought out some bread. The lemonade was very good and after the bread was finished, he asked if we wanted some more. I really appreciate a waiter who checks up on the table every few minutes and this waiter was on point. As I ordered the blackened fish wrap he suggested I get it medium due to the cooking length possibly drying out the blackened fish. I took his suggestion and the wrap was great. I got the fries with the wrap and they were very good as well. Great service and great food at a price that won't break the bank.

Ok food, not great Good service not best Great location Expensive
(3)Gabe H.
Pretty good. Not bad. I've had better and I've had worse. It wasn't all that but I didn't feel like I got ripped off. The waiter spoke fluent enough English and that's always a plus. But honestly, I could take it or leave it. I probably won't miss it if I never eat there again.
(3)Talisha M.
Hello Sunday brunch I love you! Incredible food, mimosas, gorgeous people, outdoor seating...seriously what else could you want!! Great place to bring your dog but be prepared to wait as the word is out this is the place to be on Sundays!!
(5)Wilson H.
GreenStreet Cafe is a must visit when you are in Coconut Grove. Food: I have only been there for Brunch multiple times on the weekends and it is one of the best (if not the best) places in Miami for Brunch. I have never been disappointed by the food at all. My favorite is the Spinach and Feta omelet with their potatoes. Very good! My wife always orders the Banana Pancakes and they are to die for. Fluffy, sweet, but not too sweet and overall delicious. Service: During Brunch the service is good. Have never had any complaints about it. Servers always have a smile on their face and are very helpful. Sometimes they seem to get sidetracked because of the amount of tables they are waiting but overall no complaints. At night the bar scene is pretty good. I have only ordered drinks by the outside bar and the bartender is quick and serves good drinks. Price is typical of what you would expect to find.

Great place for get togethers with friends especially for those who like a lounge type atmosphere with cool house music playing softly in the background. Their outdoor seating area is great ie., red velvet sofa's on the side walk definately a great way to spend time to relax, enjoy your company of friends, people watch and enjoy some drinks/ cocktails/ beer/ wine, etc. Try the Mango Mojito cant go wrong! The food offered there is good as well

If you haven't been here, you should go, not because its very good, more because its an institution. But the food is not amazing, and the staff is pretty bad all around. It's more about location and people watching than anything.

Sunday brunch at Green St is for all, young couples, yuppie families with dogs and small children...two-leggeds and four-leggeds! I've been to Green St for brunch twice now, and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience this time around. First time was "meh" and not worth an update. Had the nova benedict for brunch, this time I did not get toast with it. But it was completely delicious! Not your typical Hollandaise sauce, the potatoes were fried with onions this time around...very very tasty! I loved it and polished off ALL my food. My dining companion had a vegetable omelette which she says is her favorite at Green St. Waiter was very attentive, he came by to make sure her coffee was always refilled and warm. I was surprised, especially since it is SuperBowl weekend and it was crazy all around. I suppose one could get pleasantly surprised the second time around...:) Tip-bits: Heaters outside are on when it's cooler or chilly out Parking is $6 at the lot beside , self-park

This was a great find in the Grove. After wandering a bit and looking for a place to enjoy a glass of wine, the huge sidewalk patio and late hours (even on a Wednesday) brought us to Green Street. I ended up here 2 nights in a row. They have a good and reasonably-priced wine and draught beer selection. Although it was late, I can never resist food, so we checked out their Chorizo flatbread pizza - Chorizo on half bc I don't love meat. It was awesome and the perfect amount of food for a snack over a glass of wine. The service was good even though it was busy. I will definitely be back to Green Street the next time I'm in the Grove.

I would confidently say that this is the best place for a great breakfast in the Gables, and an even better Brunch on weekends. There is no shortage of outdoor seating so you can enjoy great food in the shaded outdoors of beautiful Coco Walk. My ideal breakfast here is starting off with a Mimosa.. or two, and ordering the delicious herb omelet with sauteed potatoes on the side. Green Street also houses my most favorite bagels in the world. They are always so fresh and crusty on the outside, mmm, it really hits home for me. Conclusion : The food is always delicious and amazing, the location and appearance are as good as it gets, AND you can have yourself a nice drink at breakfast without getting any looks! A+

Went to greenstreets last night! no big deal, usual spot in the grove.. one of the more relaxed places to hang out, sit down, if you can get a table or red velet couch and have a drink. The service is great, this one girl Alex is really the best, just dont be rude or crazy with her. They have tons of spicy bar munchies and if youre extra speical they give you some bruschetta on the casa. They had a sam adams beer sampling which i enjoyed so much i bought a beer! then some sambuca and threw some coffee beans in it.. started having alot of fun with coffee beans.. The food menu is not too extensive, but its definitely a great place for lunch or better yet brunch on the weekend! a must go in the grove for sure... the music was a step above the rest of the grove as well...

Got here at 11 was told wait was 30 minutes long. after patiently waiting until 12 was told we couldnt sit because kitchen was backed up. waited to be seated until 1215, and ordered pancakes and they had run out. Didn't even offer to invite me back, apologize, anything, they just lost me as a customer. go to lulus across the street instead. they wasted half of my sunday and the food wasnt even worth it.
(1)Joseluis A.
my friend asked me to meet him here for a little biz talk last night, i had never been to green street before, didnt even notice it and this is kinda embarrassing as ive biked on main hwy at least eight hundred times. i really like their seating area outside, like liz t says, awesome antique wooden chairs ... i like that. i did not come in at all but it seemed like it was dark inside. about the service. i guess im picky, and i know this. im spoiled and potentially rude but i dont like it when a server seats you and says "hihowareyouwouldyoulikesomethingtodrink?" i like it when they respond. i usually respond "im good, how about yourself?" as soon as i hear 'how are you?' but rarely i get an answer. i know, im spoiled. its my bad education. i am aware. we ordered a few beers, oh yeah, all of their beers are only $4.50 after 10pm and wells are $6. so i had a few guinness draught and my friend had a few heinekens. we also shared a pizza margarita. pretty good pizza actually... and only 12$ overall, my experience was ok, i would come back for the food and inexpensive beers and hopefully i will get more attentive/personalized service and i will bump my rating up another star making it 4 solid stars.
(3)Menaka M.
I love the ravioli here. I've had the pesto ravioli several times and it is consistently good. The drinks are also tasty, yet strong. Great location with pleasant outdoor seating. And I love that they give a discount to locals (for take-out, at least).
(5)B B.
4 Stars for breakfast. Great food Good service Great ambiance on a beautiful S Florida day. Ham and Cheese Omelette and Noble Platter were good. Bagel was a little suspect but the wheat toast saved the day. Cheers via mimosa!!
(4)Adrian R.
Happy hour at the bar is awesome! Curtis the bartender is very pleasant & makes the best drinks, I recommend
(5)Kris F.
Best restaurant in the Grove. Location is perfect. Food is good and consistent. No matter when you go, there are people there. The ambiance is great. It is truly a Grove staple. My favorite times to go are for dinner and drinks and weekend brunch. Be prepared to wait for those weekend brunches though, it gets packed; just sit back and wait at one of the many seating areas, order a bottle of champagne and drink some mimosas. Whiskey Wednesday's are fun. And any Friday or Saturday night is great too.
(4)Stephanie S.
Can't stop raving about how perfect everything was on my plate. I had the cinnamon roll pancakes with cream on top scramble eggs with potatoes & while wheat toast & a Mimosa! Everything was so flavorful & the portions are so huge you can share. My boyfriend is an omelet lover & not only did he not speak during brunch he devour his omelet in 10 mins flat. I wish there was a higher star to give beaches this place would be the one getting extra brownie points for there perfection. Thank you !!!
(5)Alden K.
I've seen the crowds and thought this place would be awesome. If you walk in, it's a very cool restaurant. It's a great place to come people watch as well. I have a friend who lives in the Grove so we could walk here.The food was actually decent. Not as awesome as I hoped though. My wife loved her french toast, she will likely rate this place 4 or 5 stars. I kept it at 3 because the food was a bit bland for my taste. The service was good enough.
(3)Anthony H.
Came for a Sunday Brunch was told that wait was 45 mins to an hour. 30 mins later we received a phone call and a text that our table was ready. We sat down, waiter was friendly and helpful, and the menu was full of delicious choices. We started off with mimosas and ordered cinamon roll pancakes and an omelet and it was delicious. Restraunt was a little loud for a brunch but what can you expect at a restaurant this famous. Love the experience and food I will be back.
(5)Mark D.
I enjoyed dining at GreenStreet. We were able to obtain a table albeit near the bar quite easily on a busy weekday night without a reservation. Our server was prompt cheerful and attentive. Hummus appetizer was plentiful and the pita was soft and warm. With dinner I enjoyed a delightful wheat ale called Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' (7.5% alc.) Chicken curry ravioli was excellent. The curry was not overpowering and the topping of apples raisins and almonds is culinary genius. The ambience was great. An eclectic mix of ambient music and plenty of fans to keep the stifling mid-June Miami night air moving. The sidewalk is a constant show of Coconut Groveites (including a city commissioner and his wife). Would've gotten 5 stars except for: a little too dim to easily read menu, cigarette smoke wafting from bar to dining area, and a suspicious drifter continually walking back and forth eyeing my daughter's and other women's purses. Despite these issues I would return based on the food
(4)Luis M.
Food is fantastic! Every time I come here I always order the Nutella French Toast, it's great. GreenStreet has a diverse selection for breakfast choices ranging from French toast, to omelets. I feel very comfortable eating outside because of the fresh air. The service is great, I almost always get the same waitress and she is just the sweetest person. Patient and with a positive attitude. GreenStreet definitely deserves these five stars.
(5)Alex A.
We ended up here since there was an exorbitant waiting period for LoKal. Service was exceptional. Our waiter, Willie, was very attentive to our needs and we were a group of six. As for the food it was very good. I had the Lamb Burger which was good, but different. It's a popular item but I prefer a great burger instead. Wife had the Greek Salad which she said was good, but not exceptional. We were there for dinner and next time will take advantage of their brunch. Overall a really good eatery, will be back.
(4)James B.
Green Street is definitely one of the best restaurants in the Grove hands down. Try to pancake assortment. Delicious. Had bacon pancakes this morning. Wish they had more bacon lol. Wonderful.
(4)Sunem N.
"I'll have the SaLmon and your cheapest pink wine" she said with her Miami girl accent. But seriously I know everyone comes here for Brunch but you're missing out on their great lunch. I love their blackened Salmon over a bed of spinach, cranberries and balsamic...delish and light.
(5)Cindy M.
Not bad... Not great. My food arrived a bit cold so that was a bit displeasing. And my potatoes were kind of over cooked. Nutella French toast were not as big a deal for me. Also, the menu is a bit bland/boring. Nothing really made my mouth water as I tried to chose what to eat. But, I'd like to go once more and give them the benefit of the doubt since others seem to enjoy the place so much. Maybe it was just a bad day when I went.

A friend and I had dinner here on Saturday, Easter Eve. We arrived at around 10 p.m., were seated right away, and our server was Justin, who I remember as being a manager from Lulu across the street during one of my visits there a few months ago. Justin was easy to remember, as he has one of those amazing, always cheerful and outgoing personalities that one doesn't often find in the restaurant or customer service business. We ordered the hummus to share, my dining companion had the lamb chops and I ordered the blackened dolphin. Everything we tried was very good (though the sweet potato fries I ordered with my dolphin could've been a bit more flavorful) and service was spot on all night. We split the check evenly, and with the food mentioned above and a Corona, our bills came to about $34 each before tip. A few weeks prior to the meal described above, I'd stopped here at GreenStreet with a buddy of mine for drinks at around 11 p.m. on a Friday night. We were here for about an hour, I had 2 Magic Hat drafts and he had an iced tea, and our total with tax was under $8! Let me repeat...Late on a Friday night at one of the more trendy places in the Grove, and I paid $3.50 per draft. Compare that with nearby Bice at Cocowalk where they charge more than that for a soft drink!
(4)April A.
In town for the weekend and we didn't feel like paying $100 for breakfast at the Ritz so we walked down to this area for breakfast. We called ahead on Saturday morning and had no problem getting them to save us a table outside. Hubby ordered nova benedict with a side of bacon. I ordered egg white omelette with veggies, raisin toast and fruit. First of all, our food took about 25 minutes to come out. When we told our waitress, she stated that "they lost the ticket". The nova benedict had been sitting out for a long time before it was brought out.. The hollondaise had congealed and looked pretty gross. We had to send it back. The omelette was overcooked, even for myself who likes her eggs well done. Really the only thing I was impressed with was the fruit bowl. The small size was a huge portion and had plenty of variety. I dunno. Maybe they were cooking our food for 25 minutes straight?? Kind of tasted like it.. Needless to say I don't think I'll be tempted to come back here. Maybe next time I'll try one of the plethora of other highly rated restaurants in the area. Next!
(2)Vane M.
I've lived in Miami about 27 years and when I first use to come here it was pretty decent, now it's way over priced and the quality and service do not add up to what you're paying. A watermelon lemonade is $4 and it's the smallest cup ever. The waitress took forever to bring us water. Total and complete lack of attention towards the customer. The eating utensils were completely dirty and old and even had rust around the edges near the handle. And when we first arrived there wasn't even a hostess to greet and seat us, we had to wander and find someone to help us. Never coming here again. Complete disappointment!!
(1)Kay B.
One of my friends and mine's favorite spot!! If it was closer to school we would probably go there weekly. Well we kinda already do. Haven't been disappointed yet. I have had a veggie omelette and added go cheese, they are very hefty on their cheese portions. The cinnamon roll pancakes are to die for. I have also tried The salmon dip appetizer which was pretty good. But the best thing they have on the menu is probably the goat cheese ravioli! Delicious. I've also tried the Lamb burger which was good even though I'm not a big burger fan. And the pastry crested brie appetizer is also scrumptious. The only downside to this restaurant is the service can be a little slow. The restaurant could be not even half empty and still takes 30 minutes to get your food. Still going to give it five stars though
(5)K D.
Good for brunch. Make a reservation, there is a always a wait.
(4)Kaiser A.
I have been here a few times but please avoid this place on a Sunday especially if you are in the mood for brunch. We were a party of 2 and it took us 1hr 15 mins to get a table and another 35 mins to get a pancake and scrambles eggs. Poor service as the waiters and kitchen is overworked. Avoid the place after 10:30am!!! Not worth the wait
(1)Ligia F.
So I went to this place for a friends birthday lunch. It was both of our first time to go there. It was so delicious !! I can honestly say that what you pay for is what you get. The only bad thing is that I didn't like the homemade watermelon lemonade it was super sour and unable to drink . Over then that it has a beautiful atmosphere great music, service , and lastly great food! Dessert the Nutella French toast is the best thing there
(5)Amanda F.
I've heard so many great things about this place, but when I finally went for the first time the other day i was impressed. Pretty sure it was what u ordered- a boring turkey sandwhich. Meanwhile everything that everyone ordered around me looked great. I deff have to come back to have breakfast!
(3)Simone C.
Friendly and patient staff, delicious food, nice atmosphere. THE COCONUT FRENCH TOAST IS A MUST!!
(5)Ariadna P.
The food here is great, my favorite is the nutella french toast. I don't go often because the wait time is terrible for brunch, and you cannot make reservations on the weekend which is a big boooo for me. The mimosas are really good too as well as the omelets. The service is good overall, a bit slow most likely due to how busy this location is. Please open another location in broward!
(4)Gaby B.
Greenstreet is A-ok in my book. Food is good (albeit a little pricey for what it is). Brunch is really good, what can I say I'm a sucker for a nutella french toast. What I really love about GreenStreet is that they have a drink special every night of the week. Mondays 1/2 off wine bottles , Tuesdays I'm not sure, Wednesdays - whiskey wed ( all whiskeys are 5$) great deal and super fun, it gets packed. Thursdays its mojitos and Fridays happy hour & girls drink free champagne 4-7. Definitely a place worth checking out if you're in the area. Also they serve brunch everyday until 3 I believe.
(3)Tyler W.
While originally I was upset at a bartender about his demanding for a tip, lying about price, and language, when a tip is determined by the customer, the owner contacted me and after a conversation identified that the change will take place. It did. While I did continue to go to the bar and restaurant and brought a lot of business to this location I will avoid those that seem "fake" behind the bar or plainly rude to customers. There are two others I wish I could name that are awesome, I think one is Cuban but explained that many think he is Turkish, great example of an employee who is deserving of a tip and a raise, lol the other guy... I hope he no longer works there because the place is awesome. Judge their character if they seem fake, and get rude, I would walk away without thinking twice. If they are awesome leave an awesome tip, that's how the system works, it's not a guarantee.
(3)Ryan I.
The food was decent. The people watching was great. The service was pretty slow considering it was noon on a Monday. I had the herb omelette with tomatoes. It looked dry and overcooked from the outside but actually was very tasty and moist on the inside. If you are in Coconut Grove, definitily check out this spot. And give yourself plenty of time since you'll probably be waiting for your drinks and food for a bit.
(4)John G.
I have been coming here regularly for a few years however, after witnessing the manager tear into her employees while I was eating I might have to rethink my Saturday morning spot.
(2)Tiffany N.
Came here on a Wednesday night, summer time never having been to the Grove before... Everyone is very young. Not just college age but very young college aged great, I was 18 once and I loooooved a good spot to go! So if you're 18-20 this is perfect! At the ripe age of 24 they didn't give a crap about me being of age as I patiently waited my turn to order shots and under aged kids cut me off and brushed against me. No problem, until the bartender told me I wasn't in line and started to take orders of people who came after me. A GOOD bartender pays attention to the order of people showing up to the bar, maybe I'm used to that from the wynwood, south beach, midtown bars I normally go to.. But this bartender blew me off for a 19 (guessing by looks) year old guy.. I was pissed and went back outside and around the corner. Found a bar stool to just sit down on and catch my breath and get over it- literally one second later I'm asked what I'd like! I was blown away! The new bartender didn't know what a Vegas bomb was but worked with me and accommodated me. He was amazing!! Great music and cool vibe minus my initial experience but I won't be back this summer.
(3)Antonius M.
Breakfast here is amazing. Staff is really nice and fast. Definitely one of the best spots in coconut grove. Good food good drinks and good vibes.
(5)Keith S.
The best thing about GreenStreet is the outside seating in a very nice area, plenty of people to see and be seen by. This end of the street is actually a little busier than the Grand St end. I stopped here with a couple of my colleagues for dinner and sat on a low rise area where we could see everyone. Had their calamari, hummus and flatbread apps. Wasn't happy that they don't have Guinness on tap, but they had it in a bottle. Dinner was great too, everything on the menu is a good choice. I love their salmon salad and penne bolognese. People eat late in Miami so don't be surprised if they are packed at 9pm.
(4)Andrea B.
Had breakfast here with my husband and we fell in loveeee with the food. The service was great! The eggs were cooked to perfection, and my bread and nice and warm... And of course the Nutella Fench Toast (you must try) was amazingg! I also got inspired by this recipe and made it at home :P
(5)Tod M.
Wow whiskey Wednesday rocks.. Derrick and his team are the best in the grove!! Always come here !
(5)Des M.
Good ambience, we got there at 8 for brunch before it gets really busy, we are not in a rush but you will wait a bit for your food, my bf ordered the Nutella french toast, it was good but i wouldn't eat it myself lol, too sweet for me, if you are a chocolate lover, you would def love that, i ordered steak and eggs and loved it, will def come back to try their other stuff..
(4)Rosa M.
Celebrating out firsts breakfast of 2015. As always best Bloody Mary and best ambiance of Miami. Great weather and beautiful people. Fantastic food. I love this place Happy New Year
(5)Johnnie E.
Excellent and very plush outdoor seating gives you a sense that you're in a luxurious den enjoying a delicious supper. All that was missing was a fire pit and a cigar if you ask me! I enjoyed a few appetizers and our waitress was excellent. Only distraction was the pigeons that are actively checking in on you as much as the waitress. Do God's work and throw em a few crumbs for a few mins of peace and expect them to check in again.
(4)Jessica F.
A staple for breakfast in the Grove. Everyone's been here at least once. I really like the decor inside, there's old books and wrought iron and bricks everywhere. They have awesome mimosas, but they're $9.00! My favorite is the Nutella Filled French Toast and the Goat Cheese Omelette (I get it with mushrooms but it comes with tomatoes). What I really like is they don't skimp on the Nutella or the Goat Cheese. I didn't like the grits, they were too thick. And they don't have a kids' menu for breakfast. Parking is tough, and the lot next door is $6.00 even during the week.
(4)Liza S.
I've been coming here for years and what I love most is the consistency. People are friendly, the staff is always on point and it's great food. When going for lunch, I highly recommend the salads. Based on your palate, they have an amazing variety. Brunch which is my personal favorite is always a treat with favorites like Nutella stuffed French toast, delicious omelets and the best Bloody Mary in town. If you're looking for a spot to have dinner or light bites, they've had some great stuff on the menu for years but also new additions like a artichoke spinach dip with truffle! Yum! I have to note this place is great for people watching or a gathering with friends or family as well as "date night". Head over and if you live in the Grove ask about the Grove discount! Owner Silvano has done a GREAT job and his management team including new addition Sean rock! I'm a local and working in the media I come across so many places regularly which don't "get it". Green Street does! Salud!
(5)Tina V.
Stumbled upon this place with a good friend and co worker by my a recommendation that the brunch was good but came way too late for brunch and wanted to give dinner a try. Our server Dwight was funny and sweet. Probably one of the nicest server in Miami and very attentive. The food was good and drinks were ok. The atmosphere was kind of chill and service was excellent. What we had.. My drink; Lychee strawberry martini (2/5) - it was ehh..way too strong.. A good drink is where there is a right amount of alcohol and mix that you don't taste the alcohol but know its not watered down. His drink: Asian equation (2/5) - same as above Shared app: chorizo Mac and cheese (4/5) Delicious and had a nice kick to it. It could of been more cheesier in my opinion but I enjoyed it My main course: catch of the day red snapper (5/5) I thought it was really fresh and well prepared and the sauce was not overpowering. I did not find it oily at all. His main course: lasagna (4/5) it was really good but I have to take a star off that it was kind of burnt but tasted homemade Dessert: Nutella stuffed French toast ala mode with syrup on the side (you have to ask for it ala mode and with syrup...totally worth it) (5/5) it was like the best of two world brunch item for dessert. Really hit the sweet spot. Our server must of read our minds as we were enjoying our entree actually he saw our drinks were empty and brought out my friend a nice cold beer and me a Chardonnay which was what I was thinking of wanting to go with our meal. Overall (4/5) will be back for brunch and will ask for Dwight again. He's such a funny sweet server.
(4)Liam C.
Excellent local restaurant! Solid, consistent, friendly-- highly recommended. I tend to eat out a lot. So when I find a place that has good food, with a great environment at a fair price, I tend to go back .... often. GreenStreet is one of those places. And some of the staff deserve extra credit including the hard-working day manager Nick; and awesome bartenders Amy, Rebecca & Emily.
(4)Jerica D.
My brother lives in the Coconut Groove area and suggested that we eat at this restaurant for brunch. We arrived around 12:00pm on Sunday and it was apparent this was the brunch "hot spot". We went to the hostess and were told we had a 15-20 minute wait. We didn't mind, 80 degree weather and outside sitting chairs with shade--no problemo! After our wait, we were escorted to two small round tables outside. I am not sure how big the tables are inside but trying to put plates on small round tables for 6 people was not fun. Our server came out and seemed a little nonchalant and got straight to taking our order. Our food was amazing and fresh---I think we almost ordered everything on the menu. My husband got the cinnamon roll and this was really good (he got a few other things but this really stood out on my taste buds). I got pancakes with fresh fruit, bacon and eggs. It was all delicious. I have to give this place a four because one our waiter was nonchalant--not sure if this is Miami culture or if he was over the crowd. Two: I asked the waiter to bring me milk when our food came out and he told me to "remind him" . I didn't remind him, kinda think it's his job to remember my order--but who am I--needless to say I never got my milk. Three my order of hash browns ended up on my dad's plate. And four the tables were small and trying to fit all of our food on the conjoined tables was a hassle. Never the less, the food was amazing esp for just brunch food, I like the cute location and set up, and my brother is a regular. If I am ever back in the area I will def. come back. But hopefully I get another waiter!
(4)Therese D.
Went here on a trip to Miami! Found Coconut Grove to be enchanting. Green Street Cafe was perfect for what we were looking for , just some appetizers and drinks. Very impressed with it, quality and service. There was four of us, and we went there after being out on the boat all day, let us sit outside, we were casually dressed and they didn't have a problem with it.
(4)Alessandra G.
It's a two hour wait every weekend morning for a reason--best brunch in Miami. One of few places in Miami that lives up to its hype. There's simply no where else you can find such an elaborate menu, from the gourmet coffees, to the choice of breads, hearty omelettes and pancakes to fulfill whatever brunch mood you're in--sweet or savory Not only does it all taste amazing, it's perfectly priced and gives huge portions! The vibe and outdoor seating is just a bonus. If only the entire population of Greater Miami wasn't also aware of how great a spot this is....
(5)Billy S.
Service is a tad slow. But besides that, overall it's worth coming back. Mimosas are great with the natural squeezed orange juice. Had the cheeseburger, taste was excellent. The lobster ravioli is also very good.
(5)Barbara C.
We had the ceviche and the truffle spinach dip as an appetizer. The ceviche was delish with octopus and Sciaenidae fish. The dip was done well and was tasty. For dinner we had duck salad and skirt steak. The duck salad was great and would recommend this. The skirt steak and the sauce were fabulous and was seasoned well. The vegetables were done just right and complimented the steak. The location was great and if you are seated outdoors it is great people watching. The ambiance inside is cozy, fun and just a great place for dinner. My server was knowledgable and friendly. I would recommend coming for dinner to anyone who is in the area.
(4)DShanna M.
I'm in town working and staying nearby. I decided to go grab a bite to eat and decided to try Green Street Café. Sat at the bar. Javier was the bartender on. He was friendly and attentive but not obtrusive. Best service I've had in Miami thus far. Lamb chops were amazing. I also recommend the asparagus.would definitely visit again
(5)Fabian R.
I go to law school up in Jersey and Greenstreet brunch is always my first stop when I come home for the holidays. Your bartenders Amy and Emily are awesome! I've never seen a better bartending team work so well together behind such a small bar. I also had the pleasure of meeting the manager Nick today and he was just as pleasant as Amy and Emily. Congratulations for having them on your team! Keep it up!
(5)Joshua G.
This is one of my favorite places for breakfast. the goat cheese and tomato omelet or the nutella filled french toast are to DIE for !!!. Don't forget to try the watermelon lemonade and the cappuccino with cinnamon.. i have never been disappointed..
(4)Gonzalo C.
I have just found out the corner stones of this restaurant are no longer employees.....more posts to come.
(2)Madeline O.
After sitting and waiting for a ridiculous amount of time on both breakfast occasions, I've found that the wait really isn't worth it. I think people must be in love with the outdoor seating area, which of course is nice, but the food is so generic it could be the same food as Denny's. Just really not worth the hype surrounding it, seems like a tourist trap.
(2)Amil D.
Had to return and update my review because it just seemed so... Out of date! After my initial review the restaurant owner was gracious enough to contact me via Yelp and extend an invitation to come back and give the restaurant another try. I suppose he was certain that my experience may have been unique, I assume, but nevertheless after several months I decided to give it another chance. Boy, it didn't disappoint. From the get go the staff was very kind and attentive. It was early morning on a weekday so there wasn't the large bustling crowds you find on the weekends, which was a welcomed change in my book. Food was served mighty fast and tasted fresh. I had the goat cheese omelette, and man, it was just bursting with bold flavors. I paired it with their mimosa for the one-two combination. Boom! Loved it. This dude is most definitely going back. Hell, I might just make it my go-to spot for morning meetings over breakfast. A very special thank you to Sylvano for clearly appreciating his customers, even when it's just someone like lil 'ol me.
(5)Astrid B.
First time being here. We came here for brunch, but we all ordered from the lunch menu. The pasta is delicious. Two of us got the chicken tetrazzini and a lobster ravioli. Both were so good! The spinach dip was amazing, but the chips were soggy from the humidity. I wish they had more fans outside, especially since it's summer time. We were melting! I ordered a mimosa and they talked me into the strawberry one. Didn't particularly enjoy it, but one is enough for a good buzz. Our server, Jennifer was super nice and helpful with the menu. I would definitely go again and give their breakfast menu a try.

Cool, inviting, upbeat atmosphere. Fair service (can't be very slow at times). Right in the heart of Coconut Grove. And, honestly one of the best yellowtail snapper fillets I've ever had, and I eat fish constantly. The sauce the fish came drenched in was amazing. I can't comment on the rest of the menu, but this dish wowed me!

GREENSTREET is my favorite restaurants in the grove area. They are open until 3 AM Wednesday-Saturday. The manager, Shawn, is super sweet and likes to get to know his customers. If you're looking at the late night menu, the flatbread pizzas are all excellent! The speciality cocktails are all good, but the best one is the raspberry lemon drop martini. Fast service, nice waiters, nothing bad to say about this place.
(5)Arianne A.
Green street is known for brunch and they are very good at it. They are a bit pricey but it's good food. Downside to green street the wait time on a Sunday is ridiculous.
(4)Patricia N.
Greenstreet attracts most of its customers because of its location and atmosphere... It has a really upbeat and young vibe and is located right in the heart of Coconut Grove... It gets a big crowd on the weekends and on its special Whiskey Wednesdays... The food is not extraordinary but they have a good selection of salad, pizza, and other modern American dishes. They are known for their brunch where they offer a delicious menu of anything from Spinach Feta Omelette to Red Velvet Pancakes to Nutella French Toast. Their dishes are tasty and come in big portions

I have a love hate relationship with greenstreet, I love their cinnamon roll pancakes, but I hate their service. I hadn't been back for a year due to a mistake of theirs last year where they charged my credit card twice, took me weeks back and forth with management to try to get things sorted out until I resorted to just do a chargeback with my card. I went again yesterday for breakfast with the family. The server was just rude, he was an older gentleman and maybe due to the heat and humidity outside he was just not in a good mood but hey that's not my fault. A family member was cut on her finger with a piece of glass on her chair, the server said he'd let management know, I'm still waiting to see a manager come to apologize, it was a small cut but her two year old baby was with her and it could have cut him instead, not acceptable. I am not THAT in love with their food to make up for the repeat service woes I've experienced with their restaurant. Don't even bother ordering the iced latte or mocchachino unless you're into coffee that's more like dirty water. Sorry but they just won't be seeing me waiting 30 minutes + to eat there again.
(3)Alex N.
Food and drinks are incredibly overpriced. We had 4 mixed drinks, hummus, a cheeseburger and a salad and spent $110 + tip. The $$ price rating yelp gives this place is underrated. Both rounds of drinks took about 15-20 minutes to receive and the were only mildly busy. The first round were margaritas and they were probably the worst margaritas I've ever tried. The second round was a purple dragon, which was pretty good. The food was tasty but expensive
(2)Dee C.
My fiancé and I really enjoyed our brunch here although it wasn't like the other places I've been to for brunch where they have bottomless mimosas or sangria the food makes up for it.. The steak and eggs with the potatoes were delicious and so were my Nutella stuffed French toast! I will definitely we coming here again with my friends.. Only negative is that there are no reservations and we had to wait and hour and half to finally get a table.. But it was worth the wait!!
(5)Sarah T.
I deleted my previously scathing review because we went back after a year and got a very friendly and professional apology from the owner (apparently the manager we'd had an issue with was let go). Green Street's been a staple of my family's for 15+ years. My dad used to go daily! The salads, the pancakes, the sandwiches, the drinks, everything's great. None of us live in Miami anymore, but when we're back in town, we always go there for brunch.
(4)Ana G.
Ok so the brunch here is amazing. The eggs are so yummy and the nutella french toast is to die for. The only but here is the wait. HOLY COW! You have to get there early if you want to wait an hour , if you get there at 10 or 11 the wait is about 3 hours long. Are they out of their mind? So if you have a whole day to kill come here food is great anyway.
(4)Ernesto M.
Sunday Brunch: French toast are amazing, the lamburger was good but I was expecting better. Bloody Maria was amazing and I hate Bloody Marys. Strawberry Lychee Martini is also phenomenal.
(4)Phil J.
The positive: far and away the best location in the Grove for outdoor seating and people watching. The negative: The food does not live up to the ambience. In fact, you're being served what is essentially diner style fare. Worse yet, they seem to have grown too big for their own good. At any given time the unhelpful hostess is likely to tell you that your wait will be 45 minutes even though in reality it is likely to be less than 15 minutes. Not sure why they do this but if it's meant to make the place more attractive it's weird we had the opposite effect on us. The verdict: If you happen to score a seat without a wait when you're thirsty for a decent Mojito this is a good place to visit. If you're looking for a nice breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner place keep looking to move on.
(3)Elisa C.
I just want to compliment your manager Nick. I am a regular and can always tell when Nick is on duty because the restaurant is running so smoothly. Nick does a great job managing the restaurant and especially keeping the servers and customers happy and satisfied. Thank you Nick for always making my Greenstreet visit an enjoyable one!
(5)Allison C.
Derek was awesome!! We sat at the bar, and Derek was our bartender. He was fantastic. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best experience possible. I ordered a macallan on the rocks. He offered, based on a previous drink, to cedar smoke my scotch. I agreed, and this was the best decision I could have made. It was delicious. Many props to Derek.
(5)Sophie D.
Solid restraunt in the grove but not my fav.. Cool location but no place to park.. Atmosphere is chillin but idk theres something off about it the food is average service average. I got the shortrib pizza which i was expecting to be outstanding but i dont know it was just alright. But you cant go wrong with their truffle fries!!!
(3)Jose B.
I love this place , it's perfect for any occasion , romantic at night, for lunch, for brunch , breakfast , awesome location right on the corner , cool night live , good for some drinks , cool , cool place, totally recommend .
(5)Cary B.
Ordered the salmon salad. Salmon was ok lettuce was yesterday or the day before but used to that eating out as most restaurants suck when it comes to serving rotten salad. But what really topped it off was the HAIR in my salad. That sucks won't eat here again.
(1)Y A.
I don't have images to attached to each experience I've had at green street because my plate is usually devoured within the matter of milliseconds...no kidding ! I always come here on Sunday's usually with a tight night of friends as it is not the place for large groups and I actually dig that the most of this place; I love this little spot in the grove. Try their eggs Benedict, still happens to be my favorite dish here... they do it so well!

One more Coconut Grove disappointment.... We were a party of 5 on a Saturday night. We arrived at 8pm, with the place still half empty and were seated right away. Our waiter was really nice and knowledgeable, giving us good suggestions and demonstrating he knew well the menu. We ordered and our drinks and appetizers arrived promptly and were all very good. Unfortunately that's when everything started going down hill. About the time our appetizers arrived we noticed the restaurant starting to get really full, and by the time our entrees arrived the place was packed. Our food arrived, although we waited for it a little bit longer than we would have liked, and two people had ordered burgers, both medium rare. One was more towards done and the other was clearly overcooked. The waiter apologized and said he would take it back and return with another one really quick. Well, we tried eating very slow to wait for our friend that had no food, but by the time her burger came back we had all finished eating. What came back? Another overcooked burger..... What's the point of asking how you want your meat done if you're not going to do it? My friend decided to eat it anyway. The waiter was mortified and said he would bring the manager to talk to us. He came back three times to ask if the manager had stopped by but of course he hadn't. He offered to get us dessert on the house and two of us said, sure, just bring us a scoop of vanilla ice-cream each. 5 min later another waiter just stops by and puts two bowls of ice-cream at the table and leaves.... with no spoons!!! We spend 10 min trying to get any waiter's attention to ask for spoons and when one of us finally walks in and asks one of them for spoons she comes out and brings just one. When we ask for a second one she rolls her eyes and acts like we're being super demanding and brings back another spoon and practically throws it on the table. Bottom line... the food is ok, nothing to write home about but don't expect great service, especially when the place is full, they clearly don't give a damn.
(1)Rose H.
This is a great place for early morning coffee and breakfast. The staff is friendly and efficient, the food is served in large portions and the outdoor seating allows for people watching. I lounged here over breakfast for an obscene amount of time (as is my habit) and was never hurried or bothered. My server just kept refilling my water, refreshing my coffee and smiling. I will definitely return.
(5)Guelsy D.
Eggs Benedict. Nutella French toast. Amazing! Sangria is very good. Service was great, wait time wasn't too bad.
(5)Kristin G.
Was in town for a wedding, exploring the area and the crowd of people waiting outside brought us in. We grabbed a couple cocktails at the bar-ambiance was great. Ended up coming back a couple days later for lunch on our way out of town. Food was fantastic, we filled up on the salmon dip so I wasn't able to eat as much of my sandwich and fries as I would have liked. But would definitely recommend. Delish!
(4)Jaime F.
I've been to lots of places all around the world; while drinks and prices may vary slightly, it's still essentially the same business. Personality is the only reason to visit a bar more than once, and between Emily and Rebecca, Greenstreet Cafe fills its quota by the boatload! Merry Christmas girls!
(5)Jon A.
This was the worst service I have ever experienced. The front of house staff was completely incompetent and the manager couldn't be trusted to manage a Subway Shop. We waited for an hour and a half. They closed the kitchen all because of a small community parade that had been going on for 30 years. I guess that an established restaurant with years of experience had no plan for the annual event. Here is some advice even a child could figure out. Either don't promise tables until after the event or make it clear there is a time limit for how long you can sit. I'd stay away since this total incompetence would signal horrible management any day.
(1)Susi R.
I must say my food was delicious, after bringing my plate incorrectly the first time. Service was beyond terrible, waiter was not attentive & rude.
(2)Alberto R.
The wait is atrocious as always. Surroundings are A+ on a sunny day. Food is awesome. Nothing more to say.
(5)Heather P.
greenstreet is a little gem in the grove. very yummy food and reasonably priced (steak and eggs only $12!) steak was cooked perfectly. eggs were overdone but scrambled usually are for me. they have the best bloody Mary's, get a blushing geisha. spicy and delicious but not overpowering. only problem is that they're always packed!went at noon on a Friday and had to 45 minutes for a table. maybe make a reservation if they take them.
(4)John P.
I always enjoy visiting Greenstreet which has become an institution in Coconut Grove. Their breakfast/brunch is what they are known for. Excellent choices on their menu cater to just about anyone. Outside seating a must...service could be better. JC IS MY FAVORITE SERVER!
(5)Dany C.
Always go here and sit at the outside bar. There's a bartender named Derrick that always makes sure our drinks our full and he always suggests great new selections of craft beer. Happy to come here often!
(5)Fatima L.
Service is always on point here. The food is great, trying a non brunch item today for the first time. I usually eat French toast or eggs/omelette or pancakes. The signature drinks are delicious too! Today I'm trying the lamb burger with a side of asparagus. Hope it's as good as everything else on the menu. The only downside is the wait - usually 45min to an hour on Sunday afternoons. But they are just so busy! We bring the dog and sit outside, lots of good people watching and coco walk is around the corner!
(5)Tatiana E.
Great food, noisy area, does not take reservations, usually pretty good service. I've come for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner and it is almost always the same good service and good food. They allow dogs which is a plus for me, not for everyone. ** If you want to come for Sunday brunch, prepare to wait at least one hour to be seated!**
(4)Isaac G.
Just sat down. The place smells bad. Tables are dirty. Ask the bus boy to clean up the table and he used a dirty towel which he used for alreay many other tables, to simply smear the leftover food on our table. Got up and left the place. Oh yeah - the menues were filthy as well.
(1)Lea N.
I stopped in on a Sunday morning for breakfast with a friend. The food was very delicious! The service was great! Was surprised that it was quite pricey and everything seemed to have an up charge. Heck ... bacon was extra and the sliced were quite measly given the fee.
(4)Mike A.
I want to add another star. The owner has reached out to me and will address the concern's I had over our visit. I can't wait to go back and check out the changes.
(3)Jennel K.
Great place for brunch. If you don't want to wait then I recommend you go early Saturday morning and even earlier Sunday morning. The Nutella French toast are amazing but my favorite are the potatoes and crispy onions served with breakfast .
(4)Natalie I.
I love this place. They do everything right from food to drinks to decor i love it. I used to frequent this place quite a bit sadly i moved north. But i have such fond memories of this place. Food. Its tasty and looks pretty, they have a great brunch, lunch is great and not as packed and there dinner is very yummy with a healthy-ish bar menu. They are always packed. But are well staffed I never had an issue with the service, They have a great bar scene at night which is so much fun, met my fiance here over a bottle of wine. Speaking of wine they have an excellent wine selection. I love the huge chairs in red velvet, that is a romantic touch great for canoodling i mean you can fit three people in one chair! Its a fun place full of beautiful people check it out.
(5)Vicente C.
I love having breakfast at Green Street or LuLu's across the street! The nutella french toast is out of this world good! And the service is excellent! One of the Must go restaurants of Miami!
(5)Arthur D.
I enjoyed the ambiance here. Lovely red velvet, high back, tufted chairs lined the brick sidewalk. The patio seating area was also covered by rectangular umbrellas. Definitely a great venue to chill and enjoy the beautiful Miami weather. It was a pleasant surprise on a Monday night to learn that this restaurant offers 1/2 off every bottle of wine (Mondays only). Quite naturally, I used this opportunity to taste their coveted Barolo Pio Cesare. It's normally $93 but the Monday special cut that in half, which made it well worth the splurge. Next, I decided to get their Jamaican chicken wings to complement the hearty wine. In my mind, these wings were supposed to be "jerk" seasoned and a bit spicy. In reality, they we basically blackened wings with no real flavor profile. Seven wings come in an order for $9. More than $1/wing is not good when the wings aren't good. At least the wine and ambiance carried the night.
(3)Tiffany A.
Really enjoyed the appetizer spinach dip! Very good. Service was great. Sangria pitcher was well worth the price and tastes great. My main course which was the short ribs were tasty and delicious! Will dine there again. Good food service.
(4)Teresa P.
I've been a customer at Greenstreet for a while now and the food is always consistent. We came for Mother's Day yesterday so a wait was expected. I think anyone who decides to dine out on major holidays better be prepared for some bumps in the road. No worries. I had the Eggs Benedict with a side of bacon, of course. Everyone's orders came out perfect and delicious, including my favorite, their Bloody Mary. Service is always good, food delicious. BLOODY MARY BRO -TPK
(5)Christopher R.
Had Brunch at Greenstreet again during the Mango Strut Parade , also known as the busiest day of the year and let me tell you I've never seen a bar so busy in my life. Not once was I waiting to be served. I don't know what these bar tenders are on but Amy and Emily were on FIRE! I can honestly say they are the best bartending duo I have eevr seen. Also, who ever was managing that morning deserves an award cause Greenstreet was insanely packed. I've been in the business for 6 years and the Mango Strut parade is a managers nightmare I'm sure. I love Greenstreet. Best brunch spot in Miami.
(5)Bob B.
Many times here, and food good on all visits - although the brunch/breakfasts are to me the best. Great atmosphere at the abundant outdoor seating , including the big outdoor bar and novel red velvet settees and heat lamps. Tonight a puff pastry wrapped Brie, and crispy thin chorizo pizza. Took forever for food to come out, but the 2 bartenders were very gracious and comped a few nice tap beers. Read the other reviews on the brunch food and excellent cocktails for grown-ups. Excellent people watching location at a busy intersection. Pup friendly. It's a nice quick drive from the airport and South Beach, and worth it for a much nicer experience and more subtle but upscale environment.
(5)Rosario P.
Stopped by last Saturday for brunch. GreenStreet was packed, and we were told the wait would be between 45 minutes and an hour. My bestie and I didn't mind and walked over to the bar to indulge in some bellinis. We ended up having 3 bellinis each before we were seated, but the bar tender was lovely and the weather in the outside bar was spectacular so we didn't mind. Once seated, our waiter quickly came to take our order, the menu had so many delicious options that we had to ask for more time about 3 times. We couldn't make up our minds! Finally I opted for the Fig salad, while my friends had a cheeseburger and a fried portabella mushroom sandwich. HOLY cheezus, the fried portabella sandwich was AMAZING! And I'm actually already planning a return to GreenStreet JUST for that dish. The service was excellent and the food was really good. I definitely recommend for brunch!
(4)Albert T.
Merry Christmas! Horrendous service....what's going on here. I have been a patron of Greenstreet for over 15 years. Wrong food served twice. Where's my coffee? Sad...
(1)Ghermay W.
Ambiance and comfort is great. Amazing spot for people watching. Service can use a little lift.
(3)Krystal S.
A few months ago, for some reason, this spot had some sort of CRAZY hype. Almost everyone I knew was "instagramming" their Nutella french toasts from here and hashtagging brunch time and all that typical stuff. Although it is a great brunch spot, it would just get so so full on the weekends and I am not a fan of waiting 1hr + to be seated :-( ...especially when I'm starving! So i wouldn't go much, buuuuuut...... Now that their hype has died down a bit, I've decided to frequent this spot for brunch. Our wait time was 20-30 minutes, but we ended up waiting less than 15 mins. We were told that they would text us when our table was ready. They first sent a text with our wait time and a link; we were monitoring how many parties we had ahead of us with a link we were given. When we received the text, we showed it to the hostess and were directed to a table. Our server wasn't much of a talker but he was nice. I ordered the scrambles eggs with jerk spices and my fellow foodie best friend ordered a feta cheese and spinach omelet. Both of our meals came with potatoes and our choice of bread. I asked the server to add sausage to my entree, and apparently their was a miscommunication of some sort because my eggs came with pieces of sausage cooked in it. I didn't mind or tell the server- for what? the eggs were still delicious! We also ordered the Nutella-stuffed french toast to share. We loved our meals, as usual. I love their eggs with jerk spices!! I look forward to making more stops here for brunch since their meals are great and their wait time is now reasonable!
(5)Michael J.
The restaurant have some amazing outdoor seating. It was right on the street. The service was a little slow however if the waiter was very nice and polite. The food was okay.
(4)Katrina B.
GreenStreet has remained pretty solid throughout the years. There's definitely nothing exciting about sitting indoors, all the action is happening outside. Seating is adequate, but fills up fast with large groups who are most likely going to set-up camp for the evening. Whiskey Wednesdays are a great deal - you can't beat $5 Black Label.
(4)Jenny L.
Excellent spot for brunch, lunch and dinner with beautiful outside and inside seating and delicious food. To top it off, the service is always perfect even when it's a busy, rainy day like it was today. John (server) and Shawn (manager) made our daughter's birthday brunch a memorable one, with exceptional service and accommodation. We will continue going back to Greenstreet for years to come!
(5)Sydney M.
I have a love/hate relationship with Greenstreet. The food is typically delicious, don't get me started on their truffle fries, but the service is always horrible. I know that I night they're a popular hotspot... And for that reason you'd think they would know to have more people working! Getting the check and then getting the check back is always impossible... And once my water glass is empty it stays that way for the rest of the night. Nightlife is always fun, especially whiskey Wednesday, but just know that if you go for food, it will taste great but the service will be lackluster.
(3)Eduardo G.
Food was average. I had ceviche witch was ok. But service was slow waited 30 min for our meal.
(2)Anthony V.
Four of us stopped here for lunch and drinks on a Saturday. The wait was enjoyable on the comfortable couches and I even got my shoes shined while enjoying the great people watching. Lunch was excellent! Lamb burger was cooked to perfection and endive salad was just the right portion. Spinach dip was delectable but authentic chips would be a great addition. Excellent choice in Grove.
(4)Alex D.
This local breakfast-brunch restaurant is absolutely the best!!! Starting with the atmosphere where you feel like everyone is on vacation at all times. The place is super clean, staff is super professional and the food is outstanding. I kept going back and not wanting to go anywhere else because their food is so good. I had the Nutella French toast which is perfect dor the Nutella lover. But then I tried the Coconut Crusted French Toast and fell in love. Their potatoes are so good, not to mention that my Iced Caramel Macchiatto was to die for.
(5)Kate V.
My best friend and I stopped by Greenstreet a few weekends ago and had an amazing experience. The restaurant provides a chic and warm environment, as well comfortable outside seating with friendly staff. Our waiter Efrain, was very courteous, friendly and his knowledge of the menu was amazing. The fact that he was well groomed, and attractive only adds to the dining experience. The menu was explained in detail as he walked us through the menu, and made recommendations. Efrain introduced us to a variety of bubbly's and kept our glasses full , he suggested the eggs benedict with the Nutella stuffed French toast which were right on the mark, and asked several times if we were satisfied with our meal. Needless to say, we were extremely well fed, and his attention to our meal and our pleasure in it, was outstanding. The food was delicious and a great value for the price, I also have to admit that it is great service; which nowadays is so hard to find, that will keep me going back to Greenstreet.
(5)Lacey C.
Coconut Grove is easily one of my favorite neighborhoods in Miami. It's hip and chic in equal measure, with... sounds silly, but great landscaping. Lots of green and close to the water. To be cool and attractive here is a feat in itself. And GreenStreet is probably the prettiest cafe in all of the Grove. Am-bee-aaaaance, dahling. Go and over a cocktail--they're superb anytime outside of peak hours. And brunch. Brunch hard my friends. Just brace yourself for, well, bracing service, on-the-whole.
(3)Yvonne R.
Great Cafe for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and even late hanging in Coconut Grove. The staff is always friendly and professional. I love to sit outside and enjoy Their food, my favorite dishes are The Goat Cheese Bruscheta, The Greek Salad and their Calamari appetizer. It is a perfect place to meet with friends and hand in the grove. I been going to Greenstreet for such a long time and never get tired. It is like my backyard in the Grove.
(4)Angie W.
Just had breakfast here but the Nutella French toast was mighty tasty. Good coffee and eggs too.
(4)Natalie M.
Was referred to this place by some locals and it was yummy! Wasn't worth the $50 for two people but it was standard. I got the spinach & feta omelette and it was yummy. The man got herbs and tomato omelet and it was very flavorful. Very nice waitress and fast service considering how large this restaurant is.
(4)Miah P.
The waiter was attentive, despite being spread quite thin across 6 tables. The tables next to us were moved together to accommodate a teacher and 12 students, one of which was the son of a very famous basketball player. The kids were really loud, which drastically lowered the value of my experience, however that isn't really the restaurants fault. We ordered the Salmon Penne, which isn't on their menu anymore, but to my pleasure the chef said he would make it. Food was hot and delicious as remembered, the waiter was polite, and besides the unnecessary shouting, it was a nice lunch. If you like Salmon, ask the chef to make the Penne for you, it's coated in a delicious cream sauce and as usual is a huge portion.
(4)Stacie B.
I visited this place for Sunday Brunch because of the reviews. I arrived at 12noon and it was a 2 hour wait. I was shocked but decided to wait around and see. They will text you when a table becomes available. We were sitting outside waiting on the comfy couch and after 30minutes I learned I could order take-out from the inside bar and eat on the comfy couches that also had a table in the front.. Well we did just that and it was still perfect because the weather was perfect. I had scramble eggs, pancakes and it was ALL delicious.. I totally recommend this place.. Its a fun, happy chic atmosphere. A perfect outdoor eating when the weather is good.. I will be returning but I will arrive at 10am to try and get a table
(4)Miley M.
Honestly if I could give this place more than just five stars I would. Not only is the service fantastic, but the food is delicious, perfectly prices, and well-portioned. Sometimes the wait is long but with the app they use it tells you the wait time and exactly how many people are ahead of, which is perfect since the location is beautiful and allows you to walk around without being worried that you will miss your table since the app is on your phone. This has become my usual go to brunch location. PS. Dogs allowed (always a plus).
(5)Vanessa M.
My husband and I are having an absolutely amaze experience here! I ordered the curry chicken ravioli which was fabulous. The taste with the raisins for added sweetness was absolutely delicious, as was my peach Bellini. Julio ordered the classic cheeseburger which he is enjoying, and we loved the French fries so much we ordered an extra side! Our waiter has been friendly and attentive despite the fact that he is extremely busy. He was very helpful to us as an indecisive couple in making our meal selections. We will definitely be back for breakfast!
(5)Charity Z.
Love having breakfast here, great spot to enjoy brunch. I especially enjoyed the Mimosa. The food is pretty good,abit pricey for breakfast,but overall a great experience,love to people watch
(4)Akie S.
My first review has to be on one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The restaurant that started making me a big foodie 4 years ago.... Greenstreet Cafe! Ambiance is everything with me when it comes to my restaurants and greenstreet is the definition of great ambiance. There restaurant is set up like a french bistro with plenty of greenery from the grove. Always sit outside (unless theres a hurricane), it makes the food much better and there are alot of people to watch The brunch is legendary, soft buttery french toast, great omelette selections (goat cheese and tomato!) and the banana and blueberry pancakes. Even the free bread is great! The Chorizo Mac and Cheese is a must for an appetizer! The Truffle Fries and Tuna Tartare are favorites as well. For Lunch/Dinner: I suggest the Lamburger, Skirt Steak, Lamb Chops, Sylvano's Linguini, Linguini w/ clams as well the various salads. Greenstreet will never get old to me. The food is consistently great and the service is even better. Dont hesitate to give me a shoutout when you see me stuffing my face at this wonderful place
(5)Ana F.
I had been wanting to visit this place for quite some time now and all was well except for one thing, there was a curly hair in our nutella french toast ! Yikes ! They were nice enough to take it off our bill & give us 2 free mimosas. However, the food tasted great, especially the cinnamon pancakes! I would go back just for those. The mimosas were delicious and overall i really enjoyed myself.
(4)Yannick W.
Delicious french toast...the coconut crusted one and the nutella one!
(4)Priscilla C.
Love the brunch, just hate the long wait at times (especially on weekends). Nutella stuffed french toast is a must try, and I like to keep it simple with just an omelet or scrambled eggs, and the potatoes and toast it comes with.
(4)Mel A.
I've only ever sat outside here - the weather has (luckily - so far) always permitted it, and the ambiance outside is great, either for a ladies' night, or a date night. Food isn't particularly fancy, but it *is* delicious - and the portions are sizeable. Not the fastest service in Miami, but given how popular they always seem to be, they do a very reasonable job. Definitely worth going to if you're in the Grove!
(4)Daniel T.
A great spot for drinks and people-watching and a Coconut Grove staple. It's worth a visit to hangout with friends.
(4)Betsy M.
Green Street has delicious food but after my experience last night, I will never return. The customer service that I received was horribly unprofessional. When I showed the bartender my legitimate identification he refused to serve me. After showing multiple other forms of identification to prove that I was not using a fake ID and that I am truly 21, they still refused, saying things like "this doesn't even look like your picture" or "if you are from a Southern state, then why don't you have a Southern accent?" When I finally spoke to the manager and explained the situation, she was even more rude and unprofessional than the bartenders. Other employees were huddled around the door to the kitchen watching and I felt very uncomfortable. The manager put me into tears because of her rudeness and hostile attitude. I had been attacked for doing nothing wrong. Needless to say, Green Street is notorious for serving minors. It seems ironic that they would refuse to serve me when I am legally of age and had the proper identification to prove it.
(1)Marilu F.
I love the vibe at Greenstreet and their Brunch is awesome! I do wish they had more gluten free options (everything seems to have bread involved or flour of some sort) and I also wish they'd offer more salad dressings that weren't just Balsamic Vinegar. But aside from this, cool hang out spot with good food that's just moderately overpriced. If things were a few dollars cheaper I'd be here more often.
(3)Felicia R.
I'm sorry to give this place an "OK" rating. after all the wonderful reviews, i was slightly disappointed on the service i received last Saturday morning for brunch. We were a group of 8 and were advised that splitting checks was not allowed. What? who does that? Our waiter was the worst. we all basically the same meal, eggs with potatoes. Took foooooorever. Waiter never came by to check on us, coffee or water was never refilled. Very overpriced for eggs and potatoes. sad to say I would not be returning.

My husband and I come to this restaurant a lot of time for their famous Happy hours on Wednesday that they offer $5 whiskey, you ant beat that price. I been wanting to try their brunch but every time we decide to do so the wait is almost an hour long. But today we arrived around 2pm and we only waited 20mins. I order veggie omelette that came with potatoes and toast And it was great , but my husband eggs Benedict didn't taste that good, specially when it came to the hollandaise sauce it was pure mayo. Not to many restaurant could make Hollandaise sauce the right way, it was sad that they couldn't get it right. We both order a latte and it was horrible water down coffee. I will continue coming for their Happy Hours but not some much for the food. :(

Nice outdoor seating venue with good atmosphere! i hadn't had lamb in a while, so I got the lamb chops. They were perfect! Paired with grilled asparagus, TASTY! Friends got Chicken Picatta and Skirt steak and they were impressed as well. Decent wine selection, although lacking on beer selection, mainly domestics. Kick up the craft notch and impress a few more folks guys! All in all a great place and i would recommend to anyone!

This is a great place to bring your out of town guests. They get a good view of the Miami Scene from the comfort of a very nice outdoor eating area. My favorites are the lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberry compote and the goat cheese salad.

4 Stars for breakfast. Great food Good service Great ambiance on a beautiful S Florida day. Ham and Cheese Omelette and Noble Platter were good. Bagel was a little suspect but the wheat toast saved the day. Cheers via mimosa!!

Happy hour at the bar is awesome! Curtis the bartender is very pleasant & makes the best drinks, I recommend

Best restaurant in the Grove. Location is perfect. Food is good and consistent. No matter when you go, there are people there. The ambiance is great. It is truly a Grove staple. My favorite times to go are for dinner and drinks and weekend brunch. Be prepared to wait for those weekend brunches though, it gets packed; just sit back and wait at one of the many seating areas, order a bottle of champagne and drink some mimosas. Whiskey Wednesday's are fun. And any Friday or Saturday night is great too.

I've been looking for a really great place to have brunch in. THIS is that place. I had the Nutella stuffed French toast and potatoes and my boyfriend (not a big fan of pancakes) had the red velvet pancakes and fell in love. We've had red velvet pancakes in other places before, but never as amazing as this place. My Nutella stuffed French toast was perfect, and made better by the strawberries and blueberries it was topped with. The service was amazing! Our waiter was kind and attentive. He made our experience a great one. All in all, I loved it. And I highly recommend it to anyone that loves a good brunch!

Five days out of the week you will find me and my husband slanty eyed and not so bushy tailed at 5:30am in the gym, but on the one day we spoil our selfs with guiltless edible delights you will spot us noshing out at Green Street. Banana Nutella filled French toast with a stack of pancakes that looks and tastes like a yummy cinnamon roll, that's our uber delish "cheat day" meal and boy o' boy is it totally worth it. This place is a local fave and a great people watching spot for our little one. The fans and coverage outside make S.Miami's chew before you breathe hot humid summers somewhat tolerable. There is seating inside too. Not to mention...but to mention, the virgin bloody mary's (breast feeding mama here) are the bomb diggity'! Parking can be a bit of a pickle because this place gets packed but the earlier you come the more likely you'll find a better spot to not only park but sit. If you haven't tried out Green Street give it a shot, it won't disappoint.

Yes, everyone comes here for brunch. Yes, it's almost always packed on weekends. Why? Because the food is good! You've probably already heard about the Nutella french toast. Yes, it's good, very good. But what I really want to talk about is the cinnamon roll pancake. BEST pancake I've ever had in my LIFE!! Perfect mix of flavors, fluffy, and just enough icing to cover them. Order it, you won't be disappointed! Another good breakfast option is the omelettes. They're a very good size portion, enough to share actually, as long as you order some sides. I recommend the truffle french fries for a side. They're thin, crispy and topped with chopped herbs. I have yet to come for lunch or dinner, but I hope to soon.
(4)Suzzett G A.
It was an amazing breakfast spot. Saw good reviews. It was our first time here. It was very pleasant staff wAs wonderful the food was great. Cesar was our service. We will def come back when we visit Miami again.

Ehhhhh... Came her for lunch last week because my friend works down the street. I had my dog with me so we wanted somewhere we could sit outside. It's good to go and people watch... I'll give them that. When we arrived we sat and received our menus quickly. I had to ask for a bowl for some water for my dog since they didn't notice he was there and drinking water from my appetizer plate. We ordered 2 beers, hummus, and our food. The waiter didn't really explain anything on the menu or elaborate on our choices. The hummus arrived quickly but our beers took about 15 minutes. I had the blackened dolphin and mashed potatoes. It was good but I don't think it was worth $15. My friend ordered the veggie omelette. When it arrives he noticed that it had mushrooms... He had to send it back because he is allergic to mushrooms! It would have been nice to know what exactly was in it prior to ordering it. They didn't even apologize. All in all, the food is good but a bit pricey for what it is. The service could be a little better too.

What a wonderful place to dine when you're starving at 11pm and craving some real, GOOD food. My friends and I ate family style because there was just too much we wanted from the menu. We started off with the truffle spinach dip because... Umm hello? truffle all day every day! How could I resist, I wouldn't shut up about it until we ordered it, and boy was it worth it. There was an instant truffle kick to each bite, like BAM holy gooey spinach and cheesey truffle oil goodness! Plenty for 3 people. I chose a seared tuna salad and the quality of the tuna won me over. This was my absolute favorite dish, perfect for someone on a strict diet to get abs! I mostly enjoyed the tiny, sweet baby peppers in this salad that mixed things up aside from usual salads. They were very unique. Moving on... The blackened dolphin entree was seasoned to perfection, served with roasted asparagus still maintained with its crispyness! And the belly bombing lobster ravioli was no joke... Plenty of leftovers to take home with this one! We finished off with a dessert and their watermelon lemonade cocktail. YOU MUST TRY THIS COCKTAIL! Incredibly refreshing with our flawlessly crafted creme brûlée! I ate 75% of it, despite my full stomach and sharing with two other people haha. I only wish the strawberries they gave us weren't all filled with leaves... What gives?! Giving us the butts of fresh strawberries haha.

Greenstreet's ok. I had been here for nighttime outings but had yet to try the brunch/breakfast until yesterday. The menu is a bit bland and mostly offers American staples of egg scrambles, omelettes and French toast. The outdoor setting is definitely a plus, and plenty of tables were available. However, I was rather put off by the service I received. Our waitress was unable to offer our friend a choice of cheese recommendation to go with his omelette despite asking him if he wanted cheese, citing her own personal preference that cheese shouldn't go with omelettes. She then made a face when I put ketchup on my eggs with nova and onion, making a comment about ketchup and salmon. I personally enjoy ketchup with my eggs...and would prefer not to receive judgmental comments when I'm trying to enjoy my breakfast. So there's that. Overall, I might come back if friends insisted on coming. I wouldn't suggest it unless I had a friend who only enjoyed simple breakfast dishes and wanted to sit outside. There are much better brunch establishments everywhere in Miami with greater variety of dishes and pleasant waitstaff.

We went on Friday night at 8pm for dinner. The outdoor bar and seating area was just about full. However, the side outdoor as well as the inside was empty to our surprise. Jennifer was our waitress and she was awesome with serving, knowledge and suggestions. We started with the peach infused bourbon and the ginger infused vodka cocktails which were amazing. The calamari was a good portion to share with a light tempura coating served with a very tasty remoulaude. The large skirt steak was seasoned well and perfectly cooked medium. But the highlight was the porcini ravioli cooked in a cream sauce with pieces of tender and tasty porcinis. The overall service was excellent. We used the $6 flat fee parking lot just to the west which had ample open spots. Note that the resto uses white cotton napkins so you will get covered in white lint if you are wearing black clothes.

I went here for brunch with my family. We made a reservation so we didn't have to wait. The service was really good. The waitress was attentive. I got an ice latte which tasted very yummy. It's made with non-fat milk. I got the goat cheese and tomato omelette, and added spinach. It was delicious and there was plentiful helpings of all ingredients. It came with potatoes and I got the cinnamon raisin bread. My family got the coconut crusted French toast to share. It was incredible. I've tried a lot of French toasts over the years, and this was one of the best. There was a nice crisp on the outside, and good flavor throughout. If you like coconut, this is a must. The French toast is on the sweeter side. Everyone was happy with their meals, so you can't go wrong with what you get.
(5)Jeanette R.
Came here for brunch with a friend and our dog. Friendly staff brought water bowls for our dog as we sat at our outdoor table. Food was beyond amazing I strongly suggest the French toast with banana and Nutella it's incredible I also had the Pina Colada :) best one ever :) friendly staff and great service, affordable pricing.
(5)Kelly N.
I've been here MANY times for late night drinks or whiskey Wednesday's (let's be realistic, who hasn't?) This was my first time sitting down for a meal. I wouldn't say the place was empty, but there definitely was plenty of available tables. The waiter was attentive and friendly. The food was good, but nothing memorable. We were sitting outside and at one point it started to rain. We had to move inside and that's when the experience started to go downhill. We carried out entrees inside and opted to sit at the bar since we were just about finished with our meals and looking for the check. It took a while for our waiter up get back to us, and it wasn't even busy. Overall: the food was good, the service was good, the atmosphere was good. Not great. I'll be back for drinks, and maybe next time I'll try their brunch. I won't be running back for dinner.
(3)Jane B.
We stumbled upon this place during a late brunch hour because of the bustling crowd and fun atmosphere (plus the menu beat most places on the block. It has everything you could possible want). The brunch Bloody Mary was delicious; just the right amount of spice and tang and they garnish it with a piece of cheese and a cherry tomato (umm yes please, and thank you for making your bloody unique) For our meal we decided to split a burger and a steak which was superb and cooked very well. I just want to say that on top of the burger being phenomenal, when I cut it in half to split it, it didn't fall apart. Spectacular. In addition to an entree, one can also choose a side which is included, from a pretty decent selection (for example we both felt like being "skinny" and ordered Bok Choy instead of fries). Our waiter was so great too - just the right amount of follow ups and jokes and made our experience that much better. Will definitely be back soon!
(4)Alessandra P.
I'm never disappointed when going to Greenstreet Cafe. I've come here for brunch and dinner and they're both great. Despite the Miami weather, eating outside is really nice. For brunch, I recommend the Nutella Filled French Toast. If you're a chocolate freak like me, you'll definitely enjoy it. I've also had regular pancakes, which were great as well. When you're here for brunch, don't forget a mimosa! You can't brunch without a mimosa! The lunch and dinner menu are pretty much the same. When I go for dinner, I usually get the tomato fresco angel hair pasta. You'd think since it's pasta, it'll be heavy and make you feel gross, fear not- it's light and delicious! I recommend coming to GreenStreet at anytime of the day. They have a great happy hour! Monday-Friday from 5-7, and another one 11 pm-close! If you go on a Wednesday (whiskey Wednesday) or Thursday night, try to get there early if you want a table. Consider yourself warned!
(5)Eve S.
This place is pretty good. I went on Friday morning with my sister and nephew. I wish I would've known they were pet friendly . A bit too pricey though, and VERY HOT OUTSIDE. Please add some more fans. Our waiter was very friendly. Food was good as well we had thecinnamon pancakes and a veggie omelette with an ice coffee.,& service was amazing. I will definitely be coming back to this location :-) Thanks
(4)Annie F.
Great Service, Food, Atmosphere! Reason for the 4 stars is it took the waiters a little to figure out who was going to help out the table of 3 people?! Not that busy; however, enough for them to be confused?
(4)Carolina E.
Great spot, great staff, great food! I feel like it's hard to find a brunch place that has unique options, but there was a lot ok the menu I regret that I couldn't try bc I won't be able to try it elsewhere. As for the staff, they were exceedingly kind and charismatic. Definitely would come back here!
(5)Kelly M.
The food is very delicious, hands down best French toast ever. I love the system they have for calling you, I was told it was going to be 45 minute to an hour wait so I had the chance to walk around because they call you and text you when the table is ready. The one down side was the wait for the food, I had to wait close to an hour for my food after ordering. That was little upsetting not especially since I didn't order anything big and complicated, but besides this I would definitely recommend this place for brunch!
(4)Assel U.
The banana pancakes are to die for: fluffy, freshly made. Turkey apple sausage can go with anything. The apple juice could be a better quality. Egg omelette had plenty of mushrooms as I requested. Good food, okay service.
(4)Alejandra M.
My favorite brunch/lunch spot! Service, food & cocktails have been amazing every single time. I love this spot even more because of its awesome location in front of the Barnacle State Park where you can take a nice little stroll with a beautiful waterfront view to walk off all that yummy food. Personal brunch time favorites: Nutella French Toast, Coconut Crusted French Toast, & Grove Goddess (prosecco & watermelon cocktail) Lunch/Dinner favorites: Lobster Ravioli & Mojitos Everything always tastes really fresh from their food down to their cocktails with real fruit mixers. The menu changes from time to time and between brunch, lunch & dinner but they are so great that at any time of the day they have accomodated it so that I could have my favorite drink or dish even if it's not on the menu. They sure know how to make you feel special and very well attended to.
(5)Neal R.
First time here. I came with my brother and friend, and I loved every single minute of it! We went in the late afternoon, and it was nice to dine outside. It was like dining in France - imagine being on the Champs-Elysées! The staff cared about serving us when we needed to be: our waitress Caithleen was very friendly! However, she wasn't the only one who attended us. Another brought us menus, and another brought us the food. I don't think I saw that kind of customer dedication at any other sit-down restaurant. The food itself was presented very well, and had superb taste. For our appetizer, we had the Truffle Brie Puff Pastry with the usual bread and butter. My brother had the Curry Chicken Ravioli; my friend had the Sylvano's Linguini (chicken linguini with pesto); and I had the Aged Goat Cheese Ravioli. My dish had a nice texture and bold flavor. For dessert, Caithleen recommended the Raspberry S'mores: chocolate mousse on a graham cracker crust, topped with a marshmallow brûlée. One thing that I have to complain about, though, is that they don't have any iced tea flavors: just regular unsweetened, but was able to make up for it with some honey. Other than that, I can't wait to come back! I would like to try making my first date here: at night on the soft red couches outside. I recommend this place a lot!
(5)Lana N.
1st thing mentioned in reviews: people watching. A great place to sit outside on a sunny & breezy day and look at the Coconut Grove commotion. Also: you can use the "Make an Online Reservation" OpenTable function on the Yelp app to save a spot at this busy place. We did it on our way there and it was helpful! They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner but I've heard brunch is the best time to go. I was referred here by friends raving about their Nutella French Toast, a crowd favorite it seems. However I was starving and craving some protein, so I got a pasta dish with chicken in it. The Penne Tetrazzini was heavy but delicious (no pine nuts were to be found though). My friends got the Red Velvet Pancakes and Omelette, which were good. I'm definitely coming back to try their French toast. Good place to bring out of town guests or have a nice brunch with friends.
(4)Todd A.
Love the new emphasis on craft cocktails! Maria prepared a spot on Manhattan that will bring me back every time I'm in town! Thanks! :-)
(5)Robert K.
After spending much time here I can honestly say the food is phenomenal and atmosphere is charming. The flexible dinner menu and combined with the full bar and barista makes it completely worth the price if you come here knowing what you want. Along with dinner this is the perfect choice for a quick sit down breakfast with friends -during the weekdays.. That being said, I would feel as if I am doing you a disservice if I did not tell you to steer clear of this restaurant's busy hours -weekend brunch, for two reasons: The first and most forgivable reason is the disorganization of staff. This makes for a long time to be seated and long hungry wait for your food. When you are seated finally, there is a strong possibility you will be seated outside. If so expect to sweet under the sun and beg for your water to be refilled. The second is the most prominent reason to stay away from the brunch hours. The general manager present normally this time is EASILY flustered and consonantly out of line in front of guest. As hard as it is for me to say this about another person, I must say, he is very unprofessional and borderline mentally unstable. My unadorned recommendation is straightforward: If you are looking to impress your significant other on a date, come to this restaurant for quite candlelight dinner, try the Penne Tetrazzini or Sylvano's Linguine, and order a bottle of Chianti which pairs perfectly. As far as going here for brunch, dine at your own risk. Edit: A sincere apology from the owner and manager, not more then two hours after posting this review, compelled me to add another star. Willingness to improve means a lot and this review will change as my opinions change with my next visit.
(3)Stuart B.
This is a review from 2008 so it may be a bit outdated. The decor of this place is very cool. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. If I recall a lot of the furniture didn't match but that made it cooler. The food was healthy portion sizes but I recall the prices were a bit on the high side. I remember the food really being good. It's not a place to go if you are in hurry so don't expect super fast service.
(4)Marian P.
Deliciousss brunch! I come here for the whole wheat pancakes and my husband loves the egg benedicts! However, BE READY TO WAIT about an hour for your table and 20-30 mins for your food!
(4)Summer S.
It was a fantastic place to have brunch in Miami! We came here on Sunday morning, and the lady said that we need to wait at least 45mins, but we waited for just like 20mins. I ordered original French toast with strawberries, and wow, it was so good. A friend of mine ordered fine herb and tomato omelette, which was very flavorful! I couldn't stop eating her side potatoes from her plate. My bf got a cheese ham omelette, and it was great too. They were welcoming and friendly. It took a little while to get our food, but I understood. It was Sunday morning and the place was totally packed.
(4)Hershell C.
We were looking for somewhere to have breakfast and I think we found it.. Food was great..
(4)Cristie H.
Probably my favorite brunch place in Miami thus far! I think the menus simplicity is what makes this place truly unique. I started with the caramel macchiato which was outstanding and my boyfriend started with a mimosa with freshly squeezed OJ. We got the eggs Benedict and scrambled eggs with salsa and cheese. We had the coconut crusted French toast as the grand finally and it didn't let us down. Everything was DELICIOUS. No complaints at all!
(5)PaulSEGAL ..
This is THE PLACE, according to locals and YELP. I totally understand when a place is busy. I get that. BUT, we waiting 10-15 minutes for my cappuccino AND IT WAS COLD!!! I also asked if they could add 2 sugars when making it: Evgenia, our waitress pointed to the sugar packets on the table and told me I could do it myself. Thaaaaanks.... Then 45 minutes later our food came. My lox Benedict came out "crusty" looking. OBVIOUSLY, it had been sitting out for quite a while... While we just sat and sat.... I sent it back and the waitress said, they must have LOST my ticket?? Then I over heard her apologizing to the table next to us again complaint about the kitchen. I do not wish to wait 15 mins for COLD hot beverage Nor do I wish to wait 45 mins for COLD hot entrees. Obviously , This is NOT THE PLACE !!!! Never again, Thanks but no thanks

I've been here more than a few times at all times of the day and still haven't found ANYTHING wrong with this place! It's perfect for a good meal with a great atmosphere.

I hadn't been to Greenstreet lately, but had delicious memoriew from prior brunches as well an Elite event a little while back. Remembering they're pet friendly and wanting to share Mother's Day with my mom and fur child, I called to verify that pups were still welcome and drove here. Despite a full outside area - including a couple of other four legged families - our waiter Aaron was a superstar. A lot of pet friendly spots will just bring you a water bowl. We asked, and were told they could grill a side of chicken which was brought on an actual plate. My pup would also give Green Street Five Stars! As far as human food, my mom and I shared Spaghetti Bolognese and Chicken Linguini on a pesto sauce. Both portions were generous, and my favorite was the spaghetti bolognese. The marinara was nicely balanced with the sweet taste of pine nuts and al dente pasta. The chicken in the linguini was also lean and fresh. Dessert was a fluffy, sweet key lime pie with whipped cream and a latte to close out. Besides Aaron, the other wait staff was very pleasant and fast, bringing our plates in a timely manner, photographing us and one even telling us about their fur baby. Great food and service, Green Street! Thanks for helping us have an excellent Mother's Day!

You can't go to the Grove and miss the Green Street Cafe. After hearing the name mentioned over the years, a brunch catch-up brought me here and I was satisfied. For a place that I thought would be just a cute cafe, it turned out to exceed my expectations with an eyebrow raise. I like that they offer alcoholic brunch beverages, it's keeping it classy. The coconut crusted french toast was my highlight, and the omelets were made to order. I would definitely come back to try the lunch menu. Besides the food, there was a downside in my visit that I cannot ignore. We got there and asked for a table for four, the projected wait time was thirty minutes, okay fine. Our group was so consumed in talk that we didn't realize how much time we had killed. We had stood around for almost an hour, not getting any word regarding our table being ready. So, after noting the time, we went to the host inquiring, they asked if we ever received a text, uhm no. Finally, we are seated walking by three empty clean tables. The staff just came off as un-enthused that they had an actual job to do. We were clearly standing right in plain sight, as they clumped together talking amongst themselves. It's a good thing that I was in good company, who made me forget about my hunger pains. The atmosphere is cute and cozy and very the Grove. On a sunny day, it's a good atmosphere.
(3)Dinorah V.
Went for Sunday breakfast and we were less than impressed. The food was cold, there was a hair in the sausages, the Nutella french toast sounds better than it tasted. Have definitely had a better Bloody Mary. Won't come back for breakfast/brunch.
(2)Hilda H.
I've been coming years to this place and the food has never changed. It's always top quality and fresh. The service is nice and on the servers are on top of their game. Mother's Day and special holidays it's a mission and the waiting time for a party over three can be up to two hours wait. I decided to bring my mom today for her special day and boy was it hectic. He had some bumps on the road with dirty silver wear but as long as the food is god and the service it's A quality I don't care about the small details, besides silver wear can easily be replaced . Out of all managers in different restaurants who just wait around and overlook the employees this manager is the opposite. Sean at Green Street was constantly in the move. He was sitting people, even getting tables ready and interacting with clients to make sure they were happy in this busy day. The food was amazing as always, we had the churrasco with Basmati and the meat lasagna we had it accompanied with a fresh delicious house salad and four watermelon tequila Martines for me. Mom had to top it off their vanilla bean cheesecake with a scoop of ice cream for her diabetic heart. Everything was smooth and flawless and we were treated like nothing less than royalty. I always come back here, I always love eating here, now I just have to bring AK here so we can have the same experience.
(5)Ashley D.
Beautiful location and ambiance. Food is phenomenal, especially the nutella stuffed french toast. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Service is a little slow and hostesses were less than amused to be there. Seating can be very limited and awkward. The food is good enough to somewhat overlook it but it is still an issue. They definitely need to be more organized.
(4)Katrella S.
I enjoyed my veggie omelette with jerk seasoning. This is my first trip here but definitely not the last. The truffle fries are so good. The service was on point and really deserved the tip they got. Loving this place and the food is good.
(5)V S.
Just had breakfast there. Haven't been in like 10 years. I had the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. My friend had the Coconut Crusted French Toast. So affordable. So delicious. Such a lovely setting. Loveseats under the sun and all. Very nice! I wonder what it'll be like at night. Will have to Come again to find out.... :-)
(4)Marlon F.
We needed to kill some time in the morning and the Yelp reviews led us here, and we're glad it did. The Nutella stuffed French Toast is as advertised, awesome. Another hidden gem, if your 8 and 10 year olds don't already have cavities, are the Cinnamon Swirl pancakes. They promised to clean their rooms and wash the car if I would bring them back here again. I had the scrambled eggs with mushrooms, onions and peppers....again, it was worth every penny. The potatoes that come with the eggs were season and cooked to perfection.....and don't sleep in the Coconut Crusted French Toast, another solid dish worth trying. My only two knocks are that the service was a bit slow and the coffee of the day was nothing short of awful, but the fresh squeezed OJ I replaced it with made up for it. Definitely coming back, early and often!!
(4)Jordan P.
So I'm not really sure why this place has so many good reviews. Perhaps this is the best the area had to offer? This restaurant was mediocre at best. A group of six of us showed up for brunch and we were told we'd have to wait an hour. Now, I don't like waiting, but a wait at brunch is normally a sign of good things to come, so I settled into a comfy couch and waited. Sadly, I was sorely mistaken about the food. I make better brunch at home. Everything was lukewarm when it came out and there was nothing special to it at all. The only food at the table that looked ok was the Nutella French toast. Mind you, this is AFTER we waited an hour to be seated and then another 30 minutes for our food to come out. The only good things about this place were the drinks and the outdoor seating. So check the place out if you just want to have a drink and sit outside, but if you actually want warm, decent tasting brunch food, go elsewhere.
(2)JoCat R.
The ambience in this place is always great! Definitely a great spot to have breakfast or brunch but this time I tried lunch - the shrimp scampi pasta. It left much to be desired, it was watery and not full of flavor. The shrimp were cooked nicely. Another thing that is great about this place is that on Wednesday is Johnny Walker black label drinks for $5! You really can't beat that.
(3)Shannon H.
I have not eaten anything here besides brunch, despite the numerous times I have been here. Whether you choose to eat inside or out, there is something to be said about the quirky casual vibe of GreenStreet. The food goes right along with it. I cannot begin to list how many entrées on their brunch menu I have tried; however, I can say that every time I order the applewood bacon and a watermelon lemonade. My mouth is watering just writing this. Hopefully I will be back in town to grab brunch here again soon.
(4)Yuliya M.
Incredible nutritious food! Beautiful decor. Great service. No wonder there was a 90 min wait the other day. Would be worth the wait.
(5)Maurice C.
I live in downtown Miami and I've been a customer at GreenStreet Cafe twice now. Good food is a MUST for me, a priority if you will. GreenStreet Cafe has yet to disappoint me, the food, staff and atmosphere are simply amazing. I highly recommend heading over to the Cafe if you are looking for a satisfying breakfast/meal.
(5)German M.
LOVED IT! I came here on Sunday for brunch and left very pleased. I had the spinach and feta omelette with their oven roasted potatoes -- these potatoes are the best ones I've had, delicious. A must try here is the nutella stuffed french toast (avoiding the thought of the number of calories you are eating): so flavorsome! The server was very attentive and didn't even noticed him as I was too busy devouring my food. GreenStreet is very affordable -- I think the drinks I had were more expensive than the food so watch out! And the only bad aspect of coming here on the weekend is the wait time -- had to wait 45 mins but you can walk around and they text you when your table is ready. They are not that organized as they gave my table to someone else and I had to wait 15 more mins. However, if you are patient and go there knowing this, you'll do just fine.
(4)Tram L.
The overall experience was great. This place has an amazing breakfast and brunch dishes and vibes. However, it is very American traditional food, so don't expect diversity from it. Staff members are friendly and nice. One thing is that this place is extremely packed, expect around 10-20mins wait. Also, if you're here, try any dishes with potatoes, they're well cooked and delicious. Lastly, great environment to hangout with your fellows, it's definitely worth a try.
(4)Duval V.
GreenStreet Cafe, always an option.
(5)Hilary J.
I wish we ended up going across the street to the other breakfast spot. The menu was pretty boring and we came all the way out from South Beach to have breakfast. Not worth my ass falling asleep on the scooter for it.
(2)Claudia L.
So....where do I begin??? The Bloody Mary was the highlight of my experience, not because it was the greatest but because the alcohol masked the mediocrity. The waiter, Efrain, actually asked my husband to hand him my dirty plate! The table was not really clean when we sat-some crumbs left over from the previous guest, but I overlooked it....then I started to look at the floor around me, which was filled with garbage: receipts, sugar packets, napkin rings and other detritus. And then I got my Coconut Crusted French Toast! All I can say, is that I made better French Toast at 15 than the chef at his restaurant! Not sure if he or she ever heard of the word 'custard' which was totally lacking in my dish. What I had, instead was a 3 inch thick piece of bread: dry and taste free. My side of potatoes were more tasty if only because they tasked like bullion and I like salt! But I don't go out to eat for bullion. And last but not least: the trash that accumulated on my table, (the aforementioned items that other patrons felt fit to discard in the floor) stayed there throughout our stay-Efrain never felt compelled to clear it off, or our dirty glasses.

Another great lunch! Breakfast for lunch this time. The vegetable omelet was delicious, and there was plenty to go around! The great and friendly service keeps me coming back on a weekly basis!

CINNAMON ROLL PANCAKES. I feel like just ending the review there. I mean that's more than enough reason to go. It's a pancake that tastes like a cinnamon roll. It's amazing. So so good. Mimosas are good too :). My friends had omelets and said they were delicious along with the potatoes that were the best part supposedly. Only not five stars because parking is a mission and it's $10. Service is great and outside is ideal but inside is super cute with brick walls and books!

I had not been to the Grove in years, and it has definitely changed. I'm not sure if it was due to Spring Break, but Thursdays in the Grove is not what it used to be. Which, i actually prefer... i'm way past the crowded bars scene era. So GreenStreet... We ordered our drinks at the bar inside, which was entirely empty. Obviously, service was great since we were the only patrons inside. We proceeded to a table outside. All tables were full and some people at the bar. A friend soon joined and it took about 10 minutes to flag down the server for a drink. The poor girl was the only one serving the outdoor area, or it seemed. Service was quite slow and terrible. We ordered some food from the late night menu... Not sure if it's because it came out late, but food wasn't hot, just warm. * Chicken Fingers - meh. Nothing great about them, thick batter. * Hummus - good. Came with some pita, I would have liked them to be toasted, but whatever. * Goat Cheese Flat Bread - better than I expected. Menu should indicate it comes with roasted red peppers.
(2)Van N.
Great foods and service! Love the Vegetable & Goat Cheese Pizzas! Others in our party enjoyed their Lamburger, Salmon & Chicken Salads. Definitely will return!
(5)Dani L.
Awesomeee have always loved this place. By far whisky wednesdays is the day to come ! Also for breakfast and brunch. You can never go wrong with the tomato flat bread and smoked salmon dip!
(5)Linda L.
The bar is on a corner and is very lively. The lights hanging on top the bar are unique and looks like a dungeon. There's plenty of seating along the bar and there's alot of red velvety sofa chairs. Very chic and comfy! The menu has unique drinks, the usual cocktails, sangria, beer, wine, and a decent selection on draft. I tried Mango Rush with shipwreck Mango rum and pineapple juice. Sweet and juicy, well mixed. I saw a food menu too but we had just ate so couldn't stomach any more food. On a Friday night, it wasn't extremely crowded or loud. The parking is either parallel on the street or at a lot nearby. Usually there's a flat rate for the whole night.

My experiences at GreenStreet are rather limited, but good ones. Though it has indoor dinning and they claim it as being a café, it's really more set up as a swanky street side patio lounge; being a little more street posh elegant than a café. The variety dishes offer on their menu are rather decent, but since I usually go for what is out of the norm ordinary, I went for the Lamburger which came covered with a delicious flavor to the lamb, enhancing to the flavor of the lamb, goat cheese topping. In speaking with the other patrons present, I found most of them to be regular repeat customers of GreenStreet, all of whom applauded the food, particularly their breakfasts. What I particularly like about GreenStreet is the easy going laid back street side atmosphere of the place, and of course, their big patio covered sidewalk side bar. All in all, a really great place to grab a meal or drink, relax and sort of soak up the culture and vibes of what is Coconut Grove.

Changing my review because the owner gave apology for long wait and hold the situation professionally. Good management is important.

It's OK, definitely overrated. 2.5 Stars Pros: Atompshere is very upbeat and hip. Good place for brunch and people watching. The inside is very beautiful and the bathrooms are artistic as well. The outside is more popular to just soak in the air and admire the neighborhood. The wait staff is very friendly. Cons: Very poor/disorganized level of service from the Host staff. We were quoted an hour and our name was put into the ipad. We waited in the bar area and noticed many other newcommers around us- on the waiting list as well. After an hour passed not only were we not called/paged, the host staff started coming around and personally picking groups of people that had just put their name in- to go to a table. We went up to ask what was going on and the host told us their ipad went down so they just started choosing people- literally. The food was mediocre at best and the menu was very limited. I don't like coming to a restaurant and waiting over the quoted time as the hosts are choosing what people they'd like to sit over the ones who have been waiting all this time. It's unprofessional and biased. 3 stars is very high for a place with ok food and bad service. Location and atmosphere is all they have to offer.
(3)Greg B.
Fantastic organic Bloody Mary's and the blueberry granola pancakes are tops. A wonderful spot to start the day.
(4)Maria M.
This place was very delicious. The French toasts are the best I've ever tasted and the omelet plates are huge and very filling-which I think is good according to the price. However I do think the orange juice which is always fresh and tasty is a bit pricy for 3-4oz. The place is beautiful, nice for a romantic date or an all girls day!
(5)Jessica P.
Greenstreet has the best brunch! It's definitely the best idea to share plates so you can taste everything! I love ordering the omelets & Nutella filled french toast, so good! Also have to try their frozen cappuccino drinks, yum!
(5)Melissa M.
One word: UGH. I could not get out of this place fast enough. I'll just present some facts to you about my experience, and let you draw whatever conclusions you so desire. Got here around 9 AM on a Sunday, and waited over an hour for a table in the blistering heat of a June day in Miami. Went inside to order a drink at the bar in the hopes that the air conditioning would provide relief. It was shotty at best, and barely did anything since this place is packed like sardines with your typical Coconut Grove types. While standing at the bar, I waited about 10 minutes to be served, then another 5 to receive my two drinks, which cost me $20. The four of us were finally seated and waited another ridiculous amount of time to be served. 3 out of our 4 dishes arrived at once, within a reasonable amount of time. However, while the three of us with food tried to wait to start, the food was clearly not coming any time soon. Checked with the waiter twice, both times receiving some stuttered dumbfounded reply. Meanwhile, I reach the middle of my whole wheat pancake to find raw runny dough. Finally, after the three of us had our food for 20 minutes, we told the waiter that we had to leave and forget the fourth dish, and take back my uncooked pancake. The only time we were served appropriately was when given our check. Thankfully my pancake nor the missing fourth dish was included in that bill. Do yourself a favor and don't ever go here.
(1)Stephanie S.
Can't stop raving about how perfect everything was on my plate. I had the cinnamon roll pancakes with cream on top scramble eggs with potatoes & while wheat toast & a Mimosa! Everything was so flavorful & the portions are so huge you can share. My boyfriend is an omelet lover & not only did he not speak during brunch he devour his omelet in 10 mins flat. I wish there was a higher star to give beaches this place would be the one getting extra brownie points for there perfection. Thank you !!!
(5)Alden K.
I've seen the crowds and thought this place would be awesome. If you walk in, it's a very cool restaurant. It's a great place to come people watch as well. I have a friend who lives in the Grove so we could walk here.The food was actually decent. Not as awesome as I hoped though. My wife loved her french toast, she will likely rate this place 4 or 5 stars. I kept it at 3 because the food was a bit bland for my taste. The service was good enough.
(3)Anthony H.
Came for a Sunday Brunch was told that wait was 45 mins to an hour. 30 mins later we received a phone call and a text that our table was ready. We sat down, waiter was friendly and helpful, and the menu was full of delicious choices. We started off with mimosas and ordered cinamon roll pancakes and an omelet and it was delicious. Restraunt was a little loud for a brunch but what can you expect at a restaurant this famous. Love the experience and food I will be back.
(5)Mark D.
I enjoyed dining at GreenStreet. We were able to obtain a table albeit near the bar quite easily on a busy weekday night without a reservation. Our server was prompt cheerful and attentive. Hummus appetizer was plentiful and the pita was soft and warm. With dinner I enjoyed a delightful wheat ale called Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' (7.5% alc.) Chicken curry ravioli was excellent. The curry was not overpowering and the topping of apples raisins and almonds is culinary genius. The ambience was great. An eclectic mix of ambient music and plenty of fans to keep the stifling mid-June Miami night air moving. The sidewalk is a constant show of Coconut Groveites (including a city commissioner and his wife). Would've gotten 5 stars except for: a little too dim to easily read menu, cigarette smoke wafting from bar to dining area, and a suspicious drifter continually walking back and forth eyeing my daughter's and other women's purses. Despite these issues I would return based on the food
(4)Luis M.
Food is fantastic! Every time I come here I always order the Nutella French Toast, it's great. GreenStreet has a diverse selection for breakfast choices ranging from French toast, to omelets. I feel very comfortable eating outside because of the fresh air. The service is great, I almost always get the same waitress and she is just the sweetest person. Patient and with a positive attitude. GreenStreet definitely deserves these five stars.
(5)Alex A.
We ended up here since there was an exorbitant waiting period for LoKal. Service was exceptional. Our waiter, Willie, was very attentive to our needs and we were a group of six. As for the food it was very good. I had the Lamb Burger which was good, but different. It's a popular item but I prefer a great burger instead. Wife had the Greek Salad which she said was good, but not exceptional. We were there for dinner and next time will take advantage of their brunch. Overall a really good eatery, will be back.
(4)James B.
Green Street is definitely one of the best restaurants in the Grove hands down. Try to pancake assortment. Delicious. Had bacon pancakes this morning. Wish they had more bacon lol. Wonderful.
(4)Sunem N.
"I'll have the SaLmon and your cheapest pink wine" she said with her Miami girl accent. But seriously I know everyone comes here for Brunch but you're missing out on their great lunch. I love their blackened Salmon over a bed of spinach, cranberries and balsamic...delish and light.
(5)Cindy M.
Not bad... Not great. My food arrived a bit cold so that was a bit displeasing. And my potatoes were kind of over cooked. Nutella French toast were not as big a deal for me. Also, the menu is a bit bland/boring. Nothing really made my mouth water as I tried to chose what to eat. But, I'd like to go once more and give them the benefit of the doubt since others seem to enjoy the place so much. Maybe it was just a bad day when I went.

A friend and I had dinner here on Saturday, Easter Eve. We arrived at around 10 p.m., were seated right away, and our server was Justin, who I remember as being a manager from Lulu across the street during one of my visits there a few months ago. Justin was easy to remember, as he has one of those amazing, always cheerful and outgoing personalities that one doesn't often find in the restaurant or customer service business. We ordered the hummus to share, my dining companion had the lamb chops and I ordered the blackened dolphin. Everything we tried was very good (though the sweet potato fries I ordered with my dolphin could've been a bit more flavorful) and service was spot on all night. We split the check evenly, and with the food mentioned above and a Corona, our bills came to about $34 each before tip. A few weeks prior to the meal described above, I'd stopped here at GreenStreet with a buddy of mine for drinks at around 11 p.m. on a Friday night. We were here for about an hour, I had 2 Magic Hat drafts and he had an iced tea, and our total with tax was under $8! Let me repeat...Late on a Friday night at one of the more trendy places in the Grove, and I paid $3.50 per draft. Compare that with nearby Bice at Cocowalk where they charge more than that for a soft drink!
(4)April A.
In town for the weekend and we didn't feel like paying $100 for breakfast at the Ritz so we walked down to this area for breakfast. We called ahead on Saturday morning and had no problem getting them to save us a table outside. Hubby ordered nova benedict with a side of bacon. I ordered egg white omelette with veggies, raisin toast and fruit. First of all, our food took about 25 minutes to come out. When we told our waitress, she stated that "they lost the ticket". The nova benedict had been sitting out for a long time before it was brought out.. The hollondaise had congealed and looked pretty gross. We had to send it back. The omelette was overcooked, even for myself who likes her eggs well done. Really the only thing I was impressed with was the fruit bowl. The small size was a huge portion and had plenty of variety. I dunno. Maybe they were cooking our food for 25 minutes straight?? Kind of tasted like it.. Needless to say I don't think I'll be tempted to come back here. Maybe next time I'll try one of the plethora of other highly rated restaurants in the area. Next!
(2)Vane M.
I've lived in Miami about 27 years and when I first use to come here it was pretty decent, now it's way over priced and the quality and service do not add up to what you're paying. A watermelon lemonade is $4 and it's the smallest cup ever. The waitress took forever to bring us water. Total and complete lack of attention towards the customer. The eating utensils were completely dirty and old and even had rust around the edges near the handle. And when we first arrived there wasn't even a hostess to greet and seat us, we had to wander and find someone to help us. Never coming here again. Complete disappointment!!
(1)Kay B.
One of my friends and mine's favorite spot!! If it was closer to school we would probably go there weekly. Well we kinda already do. Haven't been disappointed yet. I have had a veggie omelette and added go cheese, they are very hefty on their cheese portions. The cinnamon roll pancakes are to die for. I have also tried The salmon dip appetizer which was pretty good. But the best thing they have on the menu is probably the goat cheese ravioli! Delicious. I've also tried the Lamb burger which was good even though I'm not a big burger fan. And the pastry crested brie appetizer is also scrumptious. The only downside to this restaurant is the service can be a little slow. The restaurant could be not even half empty and still takes 30 minutes to get your food. Still going to give it five stars though
(5)K D.
Good for brunch. Make a reservation, there is a always a wait.
(4)Kaiser A.
I have been here a few times but please avoid this place on a Sunday especially if you are in the mood for brunch. We were a party of 2 and it took us 1hr 15 mins to get a table and another 35 mins to get a pancake and scrambles eggs. Poor service as the waiters and kitchen is overworked. Avoid the place after 10:30am!!! Not worth the wait
(1)Ligia F.
So I went to this place for a friends birthday lunch. It was both of our first time to go there. It was so delicious !! I can honestly say that what you pay for is what you get. The only bad thing is that I didn't like the homemade watermelon lemonade it was super sour and unable to drink . Over then that it has a beautiful atmosphere great music, service , and lastly great food! Dessert the Nutella French toast is the best thing there
(5)Amanda F.
I've heard so many great things about this place, but when I finally went for the first time the other day i was impressed. Pretty sure it was what u ordered- a boring turkey sandwhich. Meanwhile everything that everyone ordered around me looked great. I deff have to come back to have breakfast!
(3)Simone C.
Friendly and patient staff, delicious food, nice atmosphere. THE COCONUT FRENCH TOAST IS A MUST!!
(5)Ariadna P.
The food here is great, my favorite is the nutella french toast. I don't go often because the wait time is terrible for brunch, and you cannot make reservations on the weekend which is a big boooo for me. The mimosas are really good too as well as the omelets. The service is good overall, a bit slow most likely due to how busy this location is. Please open another location in broward!
(4)Gaby B.
Greenstreet is A-ok in my book. Food is good (albeit a little pricey for what it is). Brunch is really good, what can I say I'm a sucker for a nutella french toast. What I really love about GreenStreet is that they have a drink special every night of the week. Mondays 1/2 off wine bottles , Tuesdays I'm not sure, Wednesdays - whiskey wed ( all whiskeys are 5$) great deal and super fun, it gets packed. Thursdays its mojitos and Fridays happy hour & girls drink free champagne 4-7. Definitely a place worth checking out if you're in the area. Also they serve brunch everyday until 3 I believe.
(3)Tyler W.
While originally I was upset at a bartender about his demanding for a tip, lying about price, and language, when a tip is determined by the customer, the owner contacted me and after a conversation identified that the change will take place. It did. While I did continue to go to the bar and restaurant and brought a lot of business to this location I will avoid those that seem "fake" behind the bar or plainly rude to customers. There are two others I wish I could name that are awesome, I think one is Cuban but explained that many think he is Turkish, great example of an employee who is deserving of a tip and a raise, lol the other guy... I hope he no longer works there because the place is awesome. Judge their character if they seem fake, and get rude, I would walk away without thinking twice. If they are awesome leave an awesome tip, that's how the system works, it's not a guarantee.
(3)Ryan I.
The food was decent. The people watching was great. The service was pretty slow considering it was noon on a Monday. I had the herb omelette with tomatoes. It looked dry and overcooked from the outside but actually was very tasty and moist on the inside. If you are in Coconut Grove, definitily check out this spot. And give yourself plenty of time since you'll probably be waiting for your drinks and food for a bit.
(4)John G.
I have been coming here regularly for a few years however, after witnessing the manager tear into her employees while I was eating I might have to rethink my Saturday morning spot.
(2)Tiffany N.
Came here on a Wednesday night, summer time never having been to the Grove before... Everyone is very young. Not just college age but very young college aged great, I was 18 once and I loooooved a good spot to go! So if you're 18-20 this is perfect! At the ripe age of 24 they didn't give a crap about me being of age as I patiently waited my turn to order shots and under aged kids cut me off and brushed against me. No problem, until the bartender told me I wasn't in line and started to take orders of people who came after me. A GOOD bartender pays attention to the order of people showing up to the bar, maybe I'm used to that from the wynwood, south beach, midtown bars I normally go to.. But this bartender blew me off for a 19 (guessing by looks) year old guy.. I was pissed and went back outside and around the corner. Found a bar stool to just sit down on and catch my breath and get over it- literally one second later I'm asked what I'd like! I was blown away! The new bartender didn't know what a Vegas bomb was but worked with me and accommodated me. He was amazing!! Great music and cool vibe minus my initial experience but I won't be back this summer.
(3)Antonius M.
Breakfast here is amazing. Staff is really nice and fast. Definitely one of the best spots in coconut grove. Good food good drinks and good vibes.
(5)Keith S.
The best thing about GreenStreet is the outside seating in a very nice area, plenty of people to see and be seen by. This end of the street is actually a little busier than the Grand St end. I stopped here with a couple of my colleagues for dinner and sat on a low rise area where we could see everyone. Had their calamari, hummus and flatbread apps. Wasn't happy that they don't have Guinness on tap, but they had it in a bottle. Dinner was great too, everything on the menu is a good choice. I love their salmon salad and penne bolognese. People eat late in Miami so don't be surprised if they are packed at 9pm.
(4)Andrea B.
Had breakfast here with my husband and we fell in loveeee with the food. The service was great! The eggs were cooked to perfection, and my bread and nice and warm... And of course the Nutella Fench Toast (you must try) was amazingg! I also got inspired by this recipe and made it at home :P
(5)Tod M.
Wow whiskey Wednesday rocks.. Derrick and his team are the best in the grove!! Always come here !
(5)Des M.
Good ambience, we got there at 8 for brunch before it gets really busy, we are not in a rush but you will wait a bit for your food, my bf ordered the Nutella french toast, it was good but i wouldn't eat it myself lol, too sweet for me, if you are a chocolate lover, you would def love that, i ordered steak and eggs and loved it, will def come back to try their other stuff..
(4)Rosa M.
Celebrating out firsts breakfast of 2015. As always best Bloody Mary and best ambiance of Miami. Great weather and beautiful people. Fantastic food. I love this place Happy New Year
(5)Johnnie E.
Excellent and very plush outdoor seating gives you a sense that you're in a luxurious den enjoying a delicious supper. All that was missing was a fire pit and a cigar if you ask me! I enjoyed a few appetizers and our waitress was excellent. Only distraction was the pigeons that are actively checking in on you as much as the waitress. Do God's work and throw em a few crumbs for a few mins of peace and expect them to check in again.
(4)Jessica F.
A staple for breakfast in the Grove. Everyone's been here at least once. I really like the decor inside, there's old books and wrought iron and bricks everywhere. They have awesome mimosas, but they're $9.00! My favorite is the Nutella Filled French Toast and the Goat Cheese Omelette (I get it with mushrooms but it comes with tomatoes). What I really like is they don't skimp on the Nutella or the Goat Cheese. I didn't like the grits, they were too thick. And they don't have a kids' menu for breakfast. Parking is tough, and the lot next door is $6.00 even during the week.
(4)Liza S.
I've been coming here for years and what I love most is the consistency. People are friendly, the staff is always on point and it's great food. When going for lunch, I highly recommend the salads. Based on your palate, they have an amazing variety. Brunch which is my personal favorite is always a treat with favorites like Nutella stuffed French toast, delicious omelets and the best Bloody Mary in town. If you're looking for a spot to have dinner or light bites, they've had some great stuff on the menu for years but also new additions like a artichoke spinach dip with truffle! Yum! I have to note this place is great for people watching or a gathering with friends or family as well as "date night". Head over and if you live in the Grove ask about the Grove discount! Owner Silvano has done a GREAT job and his management team including new addition Sean rock! I'm a local and working in the media I come across so many places regularly which don't "get it". Green Street does! Salud!
(5)Tina V.
Stumbled upon this place with a good friend and co worker by my a recommendation that the brunch was good but came way too late for brunch and wanted to give dinner a try. Our server Dwight was funny and sweet. Probably one of the nicest server in Miami and very attentive. The food was good and drinks were ok. The atmosphere was kind of chill and service was excellent. What we had.. My drink; Lychee strawberry martini (2/5) - it was ehh..way too strong.. A good drink is where there is a right amount of alcohol and mix that you don't taste the alcohol but know its not watered down. His drink: Asian equation (2/5) - same as above Shared app: chorizo Mac and cheese (4/5) Delicious and had a nice kick to it. It could of been more cheesier in my opinion but I enjoyed it My main course: catch of the day red snapper (5/5) I thought it was really fresh and well prepared and the sauce was not overpowering. I did not find it oily at all. His main course: lasagna (4/5) it was really good but I have to take a star off that it was kind of burnt but tasted homemade Dessert: Nutella stuffed French toast ala mode with syrup on the side (you have to ask for it ala mode and with syrup...totally worth it) (5/5) it was like the best of two world brunch item for dessert. Really hit the sweet spot. Our server must of read our minds as we were enjoying our entree actually he saw our drinks were empty and brought out my friend a nice cold beer and me a Chardonnay which was what I was thinking of wanting to go with our meal. Overall (4/5) will be back for brunch and will ask for Dwight again. He's such a funny sweet server.
(4)Liam C.
Excellent local restaurant! Solid, consistent, friendly-- highly recommended. I tend to eat out a lot. So when I find a place that has good food, with a great environment at a fair price, I tend to go back .... often. GreenStreet is one of those places. And some of the staff deserve extra credit including the hard-working day manager Nick; and awesome bartenders Amy, Rebecca & Emily.
(4)Jerica D.
My brother lives in the Coconut Groove area and suggested that we eat at this restaurant for brunch. We arrived around 12:00pm on Sunday and it was apparent this was the brunch "hot spot". We went to the hostess and were told we had a 15-20 minute wait. We didn't mind, 80 degree weather and outside sitting chairs with shade--no problemo! After our wait, we were escorted to two small round tables outside. I am not sure how big the tables are inside but trying to put plates on small round tables for 6 people was not fun. Our server came out and seemed a little nonchalant and got straight to taking our order. Our food was amazing and fresh---I think we almost ordered everything on the menu. My husband got the cinnamon roll and this was really good (he got a few other things but this really stood out on my taste buds). I got pancakes with fresh fruit, bacon and eggs. It was all delicious. I have to give this place a four because one our waiter was nonchalant--not sure if this is Miami culture or if he was over the crowd. Two: I asked the waiter to bring me milk when our food came out and he told me to "remind him" . I didn't remind him, kinda think it's his job to remember my order--but who am I--needless to say I never got my milk. Three my order of hash browns ended up on my dad's plate. And four the tables were small and trying to fit all of our food on the conjoined tables was a hassle. Never the less, the food was amazing esp for just brunch food, I like the cute location and set up, and my brother is a regular. If I am ever back in the area I will def. come back. But hopefully I get another waiter!
(4)Therese D.
Went here on a trip to Miami! Found Coconut Grove to be enchanting. Green Street Cafe was perfect for what we were looking for , just some appetizers and drinks. Very impressed with it, quality and service. There was four of us, and we went there after being out on the boat all day, let us sit outside, we were casually dressed and they didn't have a problem with it.
(4)Alessandra G.
It's a two hour wait every weekend morning for a reason--best brunch in Miami. One of few places in Miami that lives up to its hype. There's simply no where else you can find such an elaborate menu, from the gourmet coffees, to the choice of breads, hearty omelettes and pancakes to fulfill whatever brunch mood you're in--sweet or savory Not only does it all taste amazing, it's perfectly priced and gives huge portions! The vibe and outdoor seating is just a bonus. If only the entire population of Greater Miami wasn't also aware of how great a spot this is....
(5)Billy S.
Service is a tad slow. But besides that, overall it's worth coming back. Mimosas are great with the natural squeezed orange juice. Had the cheeseburger, taste was excellent. The lobster ravioli is also very good.
(5)Barbara C.
We had the ceviche and the truffle spinach dip as an appetizer. The ceviche was delish with octopus and Sciaenidae fish. The dip was done well and was tasty. For dinner we had duck salad and skirt steak. The duck salad was great and would recommend this. The skirt steak and the sauce were fabulous and was seasoned well. The vegetables were done just right and complimented the steak. The location was great and if you are seated outdoors it is great people watching. The ambiance inside is cozy, fun and just a great place for dinner. My server was knowledgable and friendly. I would recommend coming for dinner to anyone who is in the area.
(4)DShanna M.
I'm in town working and staying nearby. I decided to go grab a bite to eat and decided to try Green Street Café. Sat at the bar. Javier was the bartender on. He was friendly and attentive but not obtrusive. Best service I've had in Miami thus far. Lamb chops were amazing. I also recommend the asparagus.would definitely visit again
(5)Madeline O.
After sitting and waiting for a ridiculous amount of time on both breakfast occasions, I've found that the wait really isn't worth it. I think people must be in love with the outdoor seating area, which of course is nice, but the food is so generic it could be the same food as Denny's. Just really not worth the hype surrounding it, seems like a tourist trap.
(2)Fabian R.
I go to law school up in Jersey and Greenstreet brunch is always my first stop when I come home for the holidays. Your bartenders Amy and Emily are awesome! I've never seen a better bartending team work so well together behind such a small bar. I also had the pleasure of meeting the manager Nick today and he was just as pleasant as Amy and Emily. Congratulations for having them on your team! Keep it up!
(5)Joshua G.
This is one of my favorite places for breakfast. the goat cheese and tomato omelet or the nutella filled french toast are to DIE for !!!. Don't forget to try the watermelon lemonade and the cappuccino with cinnamon.. i have never been disappointed..
(4)Gonzalo C.
I have just found out the corner stones of this restaurant are no longer employees.....more posts to come.
(2)Amil D.
Had to return and update my review because it just seemed so... Out of date! After my initial review the restaurant owner was gracious enough to contact me via Yelp and extend an invitation to come back and give the restaurant another try. I suppose he was certain that my experience may have been unique, I assume, but nevertheless after several months I decided to give it another chance. Boy, it didn't disappoint. From the get go the staff was very kind and attentive. It was early morning on a weekday so there wasn't the large bustling crowds you find on the weekends, which was a welcomed change in my book. Food was served mighty fast and tasted fresh. I had the goat cheese omelette, and man, it was just bursting with bold flavors. I paired it with their mimosa for the one-two combination. Boom! Loved it. This dude is most definitely going back. Hell, I might just make it my go-to spot for morning meetings over breakfast. A very special thank you to Sylvano for clearly appreciating his customers, even when it's just someone like lil 'ol me.

First time being here. We came here for brunch, but we all ordered from the lunch menu. The pasta is delicious. Two of us got the chicken tetrazzini and a lobster ravioli. Both were so good! The spinach dip was amazing, but the chips were soggy from the humidity. I wish they had more fans outside, especially since it's summer time. We were melting! I ordered a mimosa and they talked me into the strawberry one. Didn't particularly enjoy it, but one is enough for a good buzz. Our server, Jennifer was super nice and helpful with the menu. I would definitely go again and give their breakfast menu a try.

Cool, inviting, upbeat atmosphere. Fair service (can't be very slow at times). Right in the heart of Coconut Grove. And, honestly one of the best yellowtail snapper fillets I've ever had, and I eat fish constantly. The sauce the fish came drenched in was amazing. I can't comment on the rest of the menu, but this dish wowed me!

GREENSTREET is my favorite restaurants in the grove area. They are open until 3 AM Wednesday-Saturday. The manager, Shawn, is super sweet and likes to get to know his customers. If you're looking at the late night menu, the flatbread pizzas are all excellent! The speciality cocktails are all good, but the best one is the raspberry lemon drop martini. Fast service, nice waiters, nothing bad to say about this place.
(5)Arianne A.
Green street is known for brunch and they are very good at it. They are a bit pricey but it's good food. Downside to green street the wait time on a Sunday is ridiculous.
(4)Patricia N.
Greenstreet attracts most of its customers because of its location and atmosphere... It has a really upbeat and young vibe and is located right in the heart of Coconut Grove... It gets a big crowd on the weekends and on its special Whiskey Wednesdays... The food is not extraordinary but they have a good selection of salad, pizza, and other modern American dishes. They are known for their brunch where they offer a delicious menu of anything from Spinach Feta Omelette to Red Velvet Pancakes to Nutella French Toast. Their dishes are tasty and come in big portions

I have a love hate relationship with greenstreet, I love their cinnamon roll pancakes, but I hate their service. I hadn't been back for a year due to a mistake of theirs last year where they charged my credit card twice, took me weeks back and forth with management to try to get things sorted out until I resorted to just do a chargeback with my card. I went again yesterday for breakfast with the family. The server was just rude, he was an older gentleman and maybe due to the heat and humidity outside he was just not in a good mood but hey that's not my fault. A family member was cut on her finger with a piece of glass on her chair, the server said he'd let management know, I'm still waiting to see a manager come to apologize, it was a small cut but her two year old baby was with her and it could have cut him instead, not acceptable. I am not THAT in love with their food to make up for the repeat service woes I've experienced with their restaurant. Don't even bother ordering the iced latte or mocchachino unless you're into coffee that's more like dirty water. Sorry but they just won't be seeing me waiting 30 minutes + to eat there again.
(3)Alex N.
Food and drinks are incredibly overpriced. We had 4 mixed drinks, hummus, a cheeseburger and a salad and spent $110 + tip. The $$ price rating yelp gives this place is underrated. Both rounds of drinks took about 15-20 minutes to receive and the were only mildly busy. The first round were margaritas and they were probably the worst margaritas I've ever tried. The second round was a purple dragon, which was pretty good. The food was tasty but expensive
(2)Dee C.
My fiancé and I really enjoyed our brunch here although it wasn't like the other places I've been to for brunch where they have bottomless mimosas or sangria the food makes up for it.. The steak and eggs with the potatoes were delicious and so were my Nutella stuffed French toast! I will definitely we coming here again with my friends.. Only negative is that there are no reservations and we had to wait and hour and half to finally get a table.. But it was worth the wait!!
(5)Sarah T.
I deleted my previously scathing review because we went back after a year and got a very friendly and professional apology from the owner (apparently the manager we'd had an issue with was let go). Green Street's been a staple of my family's for 15+ years. My dad used to go daily! The salads, the pancakes, the sandwiches, the drinks, everything's great. None of us live in Miami anymore, but when we're back in town, we always go there for brunch.
(4)Ana G.
Ok so the brunch here is amazing. The eggs are so yummy and the nutella french toast is to die for. The only but here is the wait. HOLY COW! You have to get there early if you want to wait an hour , if you get there at 10 or 11 the wait is about 3 hours long. Are they out of their mind? So if you have a whole day to kill come here food is great anyway.
(4)Ashley R.
It was okay. I got the Nutella French toast. I asked the waiter what his favorite was and went with what he said. The problem was it was so loud inside I couldn't hear what he said. I'm not a very big chocolate person so it was too much sweetness for me early in the morning. It's my fault for not being able to hear what he said. The fruit was very good and they coffee was good. We will probably go back at some point but I will make sure to sit outside so it's not so noisy and I won't order the Nutella French toast. The location is nice and the ambience has a great feel.
(3)Grecia P.
Started off with a Bloody Mary, which was good, but would be nice if it had a few more condiments... maybe a stick of chorizo, or cocktail onions, extra olives... then tried the Straberry mojito and it was delicious. While sipping on our cocktails we decided to have the brie wrapped in a pastry with a honey glaze and that was delicious, but I would suggest that they no longer serve it with those crackers because they are too hard and simply just not good. Overall it was a nice experience and we might return.
(4)Michael M.
This is the all round perfect place to eat and be social.. Something about the layout of the place, the menu, and even the staff makes green street a staple as has been for years... Breakfast, lunch, dinner ,happy hour, late night and or simply drinks you can't go wrong.. I could write for days but it's one of those places you that if you haven't been to or heard about you need to go to... That's as real as it gets.. If your a newbie try their breakfast /brunch and you will see what I mean.. There will be a wait 9/10 times but it's worth it and you can have a nice drink at the bar while you wait... I'll never steer ya wrong.. Go see!!! A Coconut grove staple...
(5)Kate M.
All around great experience! Our server was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgable of the menu. Went for breakfast and sat outside which had plenty of fans to keep the customer's cool in this August heat. I had the coconut crusted french toast which melts in your mouth!
(5)Tee S.
Great restaurant. We had a salad with pecan's and figs. Hubby loved it. Bit too sweet for me but it was fresh and gorgeous. Best vegetarian lasagna had in a long time and the hubby had a steak dish he raved about. Service is friendly and the drinks spot on. Only thing did not warm up to was all the pictures of the Native Indians on the wall looking very sad. And not one of the servers could tell me the relevance to the actual restaurant.
(4)Wendy P.
The best puppy-friendly restaurant ever! We celebrated our Pomeranian's 2nd birthday here with a brunch, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming to our pooch! He even sat on his own chair at our table! Our Waiter was awesome, and so were all the others who came to say hi and wish him a happy birthday! I've also been here other times without the dog, and the service and food has always been consistent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!
(5)Nicole S.
This is my go-to brunch place. I came here with my boyfriend and we were seated rather quickly. Their wait usually ends up being shorter than what they tell you. Although I would recommend making a reservation if you have a large group. To dog owners: This place is also very dog friendly if you sit outside- they have many fans so you won't feel the heat too badly. I ordered the red velvet pancakes with a side of potatoes and my boyfriend ordered the cinnamon role pancake. They both tasted absolutely delicious- warm and fluffy straight from the pan. I definitely recommend Green Street to anyone looking for a delicious brunch with excellent service for a reasonable price.
(5)Rocio P.
I only had some wine and small bites around dinner time here, including the ceviche and the chicken wings. It wasn't mind blowing food, but the place itself is worth a try at least once in your Miami lifetime. The outdoor seating is definitely a must. With comfy, classic looking couches, wooden chairs and tables; and giant fans to supply the much needed breeze on a Miami's July afternoon. The inside is very nice too. Nicely decorated, with brown and dark-ish tones accentuated by candle lights. A good option, if people watching outside is not entertaining enough to keep you from running inside to your best friend this time around: the AC. I'm not dying to go back for dinner. But reading other yelpers, I would be willing to catch up with a friend over brunch here.
(4)Fran N.
Really good food here, the service or the server took a little while to even get to us but I think that was only because she didn't even know we were sat, the host just pretty much told us to sit anywhere and didn't give us menus but that did not derail us from enjoying the food because it was really just that good! And our server was quite good once she realized we were hers. Would come back to eat here again!
(4)Rakesh M.
Always great for brunch. Everything on the menu is very tasty. The French toasts are a personal favorite. The drinks are also great. The service is always friendly.
(5)Patricia M.
Had the blueberry and granola pancakes for breakfast and they were delicious! Only reason I'm not giving this full 5 stars is because it's a bit pricey for just two pancakes with no eggs or anything on the side. Tried my friend's Nutella French Toast and MAN is that worth it! SO GOOD
(4)VicFer F.
I have come to GreenStreet cafe for the last 5 yrs.... I am so greatfull and please to let my friends and colleagues know that it's the best place for Happy hour and dinner. I want to go on record that waitress Marjorie provided the best service possible to me and my wife. We always look to be serviced by her. She is excellent! And this is great business for the establishment. Keep up the great work....
(5)John I.
Best place around for breakfast! To be honest, it's not even worth trying another spot. Enjoy!
(5)Ross B.
This is cant-miss restaurant and is very reliable.
(4)Megan S.
I am in a hard place. Wahhh! This place was good but quite pricy. I wanna give 3/5 stars because of the pricing, but I think that's silly of me because touristy areas are not going to be cheeeeeap :3 I'macheapladymeep! ANYWAY, the food makes it worth a 4/5. I love that they give you some sort of spicy baresque peanut mixture before you get your food. Yum! Swallow that stuff up! I ordered a veggie pizza that was vegan (cheeseless :D) without having to ask. The hostess asked me!!! (Do you want cheese? Nay!) I was glad to have that option. ^.^ It was a really good sized pizza! Nice place... open late... yay & yay! : )
(4)Menaka M.
I love the ravioli here. I've had the pesto ravioli several times and it is consistently good. The drinks are also tasty, yet strong. Great location with pleasant outdoor seating. And I love that they give a discount to locals (for take-out, at least).
(5)Bernardette S.
GreenStreet never disappoints. I've been coming here for years. Happy hour, dinner, brunch etc. Their food is always on point and they have great happy hour deals. Salads are great, pasta is delicious as if their flat breads. They have a great ambiance outdoors. Especially by the bar for happy hour. Now if you want to go for brunch on the weekend get ready for a wait. It's usually slammed! It's a great routine place to always come back to with great food, drinks and environment.
(4)Jer R.
Went for brunch. The food was decent and our waitress knew the menu in and out. The place was packed and it took a while to get served. However while we waited, we took part in their various Bloody Mary's. I must say. Best Bloody Mary's I've had in Miami so far. Hands down. The spices was just right and flawless each time. Vegetables were fresh and delicious. Would definitely return solely for the bloody Mary's. All of my friends and I decided at that point to stick with the Bloody Mary's and had several rounds. Was perfect every time.
(3)Francisco S.
A must go to in the Grove. The staple for brunch, but wait is sometimes too much. Also great on Whiskey Wednesdays. Lamb burger is great, as well as all their pizza options.
(4)Mark M.
God-awful café con leche. (In Miami! Any hole-in-the-wall here does better.) Eggs fair. Great bread. Noticeably amateurish though very friendly service. Yuppie (does anybody still use that word? None other comes to mind) slash tourist clientèle. (Saw not one patron smile in my 45 minutes here.) Reminiscent of NYC's Saloon, long-time stalwart of Lincoln Center, where locals would only go if they were hosting out-of-towners. Far from bad, but doubt I'll be inclined to return.
(3)Sara D.
We got the best table outdoors, right on the corner. Started w/ Mediterranean platter. I've eaten better hummus, it was Ok. The main course for lunch included for our table Salmon salad which was delicious, fish wraps & chicken wrap.
(3)J O.
Where do I start..... The manager yelling (what seemed to be the manager) over my table or the food that was disgusting. I guess you can't have everything. What an amazing locations Green Street is but what a shame the food and service isn't up to par.
(1)Scarlett W.
had a nice, interesting fig salad here the other day. crowded and messy though, maybe seemed a tad unclean, but it was very busy. Service not the best, but all in all, a nice experience.
(3)Ernesto M.
Sunday Brunch: French toast are amazing, the lamburger was good but I was expecting better. Bloody Maria was amazing and I hate Bloody Marys. Strawberry Lychee Martini is also phenomenal.
(4)Phil J.
The positive: far and away the best location in the Grove for outdoor seating and people watching. The negative: The food does not live up to the ambience. In fact, you're being served what is essentially diner style fare. Worse yet, they seem to have grown too big for their own good. At any given time the unhelpful hostess is likely to tell you that your wait will be 45 minutes even though in reality it is likely to be less than 15 minutes. Not sure why they do this but if it's meant to make the place more attractive it's weird we had the opposite effect on us. The verdict: If you happen to score a seat without a wait when you're thirsty for a decent Mojito this is a good place to visit. If you're looking for a nice breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner place keep looking to move on.
(3)Elisa C.
I just want to compliment your manager Nick. I am a regular and can always tell when Nick is on duty because the restaurant is running so smoothly. Nick does a great job managing the restaurant and especially keeping the servers and customers happy and satisfied. Thank you Nick for always making my Greenstreet visit an enjoyable one!
(5)Allison C.
Derek was awesome!! We sat at the bar, and Derek was our bartender. He was fantastic. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best experience possible. I ordered a macallan on the rocks. He offered, based on a previous drink, to cedar smoke my scotch. I agreed, and this was the best decision I could have made. It was delicious. Many props to Derek.
(5)Sophie D.
Solid restraunt in the grove but not my fav.. Cool location but no place to park.. Atmosphere is chillin but idk theres something off about it the food is average service average. I got the shortrib pizza which i was expecting to be outstanding but i dont know it was just alright. But you cant go wrong with their truffle fries!!!
(3)Jose B.
I love this place , it's perfect for any occasion , romantic at night, for lunch, for brunch , breakfast , awesome location right on the corner , cool night live , good for some drinks , cool , cool place, totally recommend .
(5)Cary B.
Ordered the salmon salad. Salmon was ok lettuce was yesterday or the day before but used to that eating out as most restaurants suck when it comes to serving rotten salad. But what really topped it off was the HAIR in my salad. That sucks won't eat here again.
(1)Y A.
I don't have images to attached to each experience I've had at green street because my plate is usually devoured within the matter of milliseconds...no kidding ! I always come here on Sunday's usually with a tight night of friends as it is not the place for large groups and I actually dig that the most of this place; I love this little spot in the grove. Try their eggs Benedict, still happens to be my favorite dish here... they do it so well!
(5)Andre G.
One more Coconut Grove disappointment.... We were a party of 5 on a Saturday night. We arrived at 8pm, with the place still half empty and were seated right away. Our waiter was really nice and knowledgeable, giving us good suggestions and demonstrating he knew well the menu. We ordered and our drinks and appetizers arrived promptly and were all very good. Unfortunately that's when everything started going down hill. About the time our appetizers arrived we noticed the restaurant starting to get really full, and by the time our entrees arrived the place was packed. Our food arrived, although we waited for it a little bit longer than we would have liked, and two people had ordered burgers, both medium rare. One was more towards done and the other was clearly overcooked. The waiter apologized and said he would take it back and return with another one really quick. Well, we tried eating very slow to wait for our friend that had no food, but by the time her burger came back we had all finished eating. What came back? Another overcooked burger..... What's the point of asking how you want your meat done if you're not going to do it? My friend decided to eat it anyway. The waiter was mortified and said he would bring the manager to talk to us. He came back three times to ask if the manager had stopped by but of course he hadn't. He offered to get us dessert on the house and two of us said, sure, just bring us a scoop of vanilla ice-cream each. 5 min later another waiter just stops by and puts two bowls of ice-cream at the table and leaves.... with no spoons!!! We spend 10 min trying to get any waiter's attention to ask for spoons and when one of us finally walks in and asks one of them for spoons she comes out and brings just one. When we ask for a second one she rolls her eyes and acts like we're being super demanding and brings back another spoon and practically throws it on the table. Bottom line... the food is ok, nothing to write home about but don't expect great service, especially when the place is full, they clearly don't give a damn.
(1)Rose H.
This is a great place for early morning coffee and breakfast. The staff is friendly and efficient, the food is served in large portions and the outdoor seating allows for people watching. I lounged here over breakfast for an obscene amount of time (as is my habit) and was never hurried or bothered. My server just kept refilling my water, refreshing my coffee and smiling. I will definitely return.
(5)Guelsy D.
Eggs Benedict. Nutella French toast. Amazing! Sangria is very good. Service was great, wait time wasn't too bad.
(5)Kristin G.
Was in town for a wedding, exploring the area and the crowd of people waiting outside brought us in. We grabbed a couple cocktails at the bar-ambiance was great. Ended up coming back a couple days later for lunch on our way out of town. Food was fantastic, we filled up on the salmon dip so I wasn't able to eat as much of my sandwich and fries as I would have liked. But would definitely recommend. Delish!
(4)Jaime F.
I've been to lots of places all around the world; while drinks and prices may vary slightly, it's still essentially the same business. Personality is the only reason to visit a bar more than once, and between Emily and Rebecca, Greenstreet Cafe fills its quota by the boatload! Merry Christmas girls!
(5)Jon A.
This was the worst service I have ever experienced. The front of house staff was completely incompetent and the manager couldn't be trusted to manage a Subway Shop. We waited for an hour and a half. They closed the kitchen all because of a small community parade that had been going on for 30 years. I guess that an established restaurant with years of experience had no plan for the annual event. Here is some advice even a child could figure out. Either don't promise tables until after the event or make it clear there is a time limit for how long you can sit. I'd stay away since this total incompetence would signal horrible management any day.
(1)Susi R.
I must say my food was delicious, after bringing my plate incorrectly the first time. Service was beyond terrible, waiter was not attentive & rude.
(2)Alberto R.
The wait is atrocious as always. Surroundings are A+ on a sunny day. Food is awesome. Nothing more to say.
(5)Heather P.
greenstreet is a little gem in the grove. very yummy food and reasonably priced (steak and eggs only $12!) steak was cooked perfectly. eggs were overdone but scrambled usually are for me. they have the best bloody Mary's, get a blushing geisha. spicy and delicious but not overpowering. only problem is that they're always packed!went at noon on a Friday and had to 45 minutes for a table. maybe make a reservation if they take them.
(4)John P.
I always enjoy visiting Greenstreet which has become an institution in Coconut Grove. Their breakfast/brunch is what they are known for. Excellent choices on their menu cater to just about anyone. Outside seating a must...service could be better. JC IS MY FAVORITE SERVER!
(5)Dany C.
Always go here and sit at the outside bar. There's a bartender named Derrick that always makes sure our drinks our full and he always suggests great new selections of craft beer. Happy to come here often!
(5)Fatima L.
Service is always on point here. The food is great, trying a non brunch item today for the first time. I usually eat French toast or eggs/omelette or pancakes. The signature drinks are delicious too! Today I'm trying the lamb burger with a side of asparagus. Hope it's as good as everything else on the menu. The only downside is the wait - usually 45min to an hour on Sunday afternoons. But they are just so busy! We bring the dog and sit outside, lots of good people watching and coco walk is around the corner!
(5)Tatiana E.
Great food, noisy area, does not take reservations, usually pretty good service. I've come for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner and it is almost always the same good service and good food. They allow dogs which is a plus for me, not for everyone. ** If you want to come for Sunday brunch, prepare to wait at least one hour to be seated!**
(4)Isaac G.
Just sat down. The place smells bad. Tables are dirty. Ask the bus boy to clean up the table and he used a dirty towel which he used for alreay many other tables, to simply smear the leftover food on our table. Got up and left the place. Oh yeah - the menues were filthy as well.
(1)Lea N.
I stopped in on a Sunday morning for breakfast with a friend. The food was very delicious! The service was great! Was surprised that it was quite pricey and everything seemed to have an up charge. Heck ... bacon was extra and the sliced were quite measly given the fee.
(4)Mike A.
I want to add another star. The owner has reached out to me and will address the concern's I had over our visit. I can't wait to go back and check out the changes.
(3)Jennel K.
Great place for brunch. If you don't want to wait then I recommend you go early Saturday morning and even earlier Sunday morning. The Nutella French toast are amazing but my favorite are the potatoes and crispy onions served with breakfast .
(4)Natalie I.
I love this place. They do everything right from food to drinks to decor i love it. I used to frequent this place quite a bit sadly i moved north. But i have such fond memories of this place. Food. Its tasty and looks pretty, they have a great brunch, lunch is great and not as packed and there dinner is very yummy with a healthy-ish bar menu. They are always packed. But are well staffed I never had an issue with the service, They have a great bar scene at night which is so much fun, met my fiance here over a bottle of wine. Speaking of wine they have an excellent wine selection. I love the huge chairs in red velvet, that is a romantic touch great for canoodling i mean you can fit three people in one chair! Its a fun place full of beautiful people check it out.
(5)Vicente C.
I love having breakfast at Green Street or LuLu's across the street! The nutella french toast is out of this world good! And the service is excellent! One of the Must go restaurants of Miami!
(5)Arthur D.
I enjoyed the ambiance here. Lovely red velvet, high back, tufted chairs lined the brick sidewalk. The patio seating area was also covered by rectangular umbrellas. Definitely a great venue to chill and enjoy the beautiful Miami weather. It was a pleasant surprise on a Monday night to learn that this restaurant offers 1/2 off every bottle of wine (Mondays only). Quite naturally, I used this opportunity to taste their coveted Barolo Pio Cesare. It's normally $93 but the Monday special cut that in half, which made it well worth the splurge. Next, I decided to get their Jamaican chicken wings to complement the hearty wine. In my mind, these wings were supposed to be "jerk" seasoned and a bit spicy. In reality, they we basically blackened wings with no real flavor profile. Seven wings come in an order for $9. More than $1/wing is not good when the wings aren't good. At least the wine and ambiance carried the night.
(3)Tiffany A.
Really enjoyed the appetizer spinach dip! Very good. Service was great. Sangria pitcher was well worth the price and tastes great. My main course which was the short ribs were tasty and delicious! Will dine there again. Good food service.
(4)Teresa P.
I've been a customer at Greenstreet for a while now and the food is always consistent. We came for Mother's Day yesterday so a wait was expected. I think anyone who decides to dine out on major holidays better be prepared for some bumps in the road. No worries. I had the Eggs Benedict with a side of bacon, of course. Everyone's orders came out perfect and delicious, including my favorite, their Bloody Mary. Service is always good, food delicious. BLOODY MARY BRO -TPK
(5)Christopher R.
Had Brunch at Greenstreet again during the Mango Strut Parade , also known as the busiest day of the year and let me tell you I've never seen a bar so busy in my life. Not once was I waiting to be served. I don't know what these bar tenders are on but Amy and Emily were on FIRE! I can honestly say they are the best bartending duo I have eevr seen. Also, who ever was managing that morning deserves an award cause Greenstreet was insanely packed. I've been in the business for 6 years and the Mango Strut parade is a managers nightmare I'm sure. I love Greenstreet. Best brunch spot in Miami.
(5)Bob B.
Many times here, and food good on all visits - although the brunch/breakfasts are to me the best. Great atmosphere at the abundant outdoor seating , including the big outdoor bar and novel red velvet settees and heat lamps. Tonight a puff pastry wrapped Brie, and crispy thin chorizo pizza. Took forever for food to come out, but the 2 bartenders were very gracious and comped a few nice tap beers. Read the other reviews on the brunch food and excellent cocktails for grown-ups. Excellent people watching location at a busy intersection. Pup friendly. It's a nice quick drive from the airport and South Beach, and worth it for a much nicer experience and more subtle but upscale environment.
(5)Rosario P.
Stopped by last Saturday for brunch. GreenStreet was packed, and we were told the wait would be between 45 minutes and an hour. My bestie and I didn't mind and walked over to the bar to indulge in some bellinis. We ended up having 3 bellinis each before we were seated, but the bar tender was lovely and the weather in the outside bar was spectacular so we didn't mind. Once seated, our waiter quickly came to take our order, the menu had so many delicious options that we had to ask for more time about 3 times. We couldn't make up our minds! Finally I opted for the Fig salad, while my friends had a cheeseburger and a fried portabella mushroom sandwich. HOLY cheezus, the fried portabella sandwich was AMAZING! And I'm actually already planning a return to GreenStreet JUST for that dish. The service was excellent and the food was really good. I definitely recommend for brunch!
(4)Albert T.
Merry Christmas! Horrendous service....what's going on here. I have been a patron of Greenstreet for over 15 years. Wrong food served twice. Where's my coffee? Sad...
(1)Ghermay W.
Ambiance and comfort is great. Amazing spot for people watching. Service can use a little lift.
(3)Krystal S.
A few months ago, for some reason, this spot had some sort of CRAZY hype. Almost everyone I knew was "instagramming" their Nutella french toasts from here and hashtagging brunch time and all that typical stuff. Although it is a great brunch spot, it would just get so so full on the weekends and I am not a fan of waiting 1hr + to be seated :-( ...especially when I'm starving! So i wouldn't go much, buuuuuut...... Now that their hype has died down a bit, I've decided to frequent this spot for brunch. Our wait time was 20-30 minutes, but we ended up waiting less than 15 mins. We were told that they would text us when our table was ready. They first sent a text with our wait time and a link; we were monitoring how many parties we had ahead of us with a link we were given. When we received the text, we showed it to the hostess and were directed to a table. Our server wasn't much of a talker but he was nice. I ordered the scrambles eggs with jerk spices and my fellow foodie best friend ordered a feta cheese and spinach omelet. Both of our meals came with potatoes and our choice of bread. I asked the server to add sausage to my entree, and apparently their was a miscommunication of some sort because my eggs came with pieces of sausage cooked in it. I didn't mind or tell the server- for what? the eggs were still delicious! We also ordered the Nutella-stuffed french toast to share. We loved our meals, as usual. I love their eggs with jerk spices!! I look forward to making more stops here for brunch since their meals are great and their wait time is now reasonable!
(5)Michael J.
The restaurant have some amazing outdoor seating. It was right on the street. The service was a little slow however if the waiter was very nice and polite. The food was okay.
(4)Katrina B.
GreenStreet has remained pretty solid throughout the years. There's definitely nothing exciting about sitting indoors, all the action is happening outside. Seating is adequate, but fills up fast with large groups who are most likely going to set-up camp for the evening. Whiskey Wednesdays are a great deal - you can't beat $5 Black Label.
(4)Jenny L.
Excellent spot for brunch, lunch and dinner with beautiful outside and inside seating and delicious food. To top it off, the service is always perfect even when it's a busy, rainy day like it was today. John (server) and Shawn (manager) made our daughter's birthday brunch a memorable one, with exceptional service and accommodation. We will continue going back to Greenstreet for years to come!

I have a love/hate relationship with Greenstreet. The food is typically delicious, don't get me started on their truffle fries, but the service is always horrible. I know that I night they're a popular hotspot... And for that reason you'd think they would know to have more people working! Getting the check and then getting the check back is always impossible... And once my water glass is empty it stays that way for the rest of the night. Nightlife is always fun, especially whiskey Wednesday, but just know that if you go for food, it will taste great but the service will be lackluster.

Food was average. I had ceviche witch was ok. But service was slow waited 30 min for our meal.

Four of us stopped here for lunch and drinks on a Saturday. The wait was enjoyable on the comfortable couches and I even got my shoes shined while enjoying the great people watching. Lunch was excellent! Lamb burger was cooked to perfection and endive salad was just the right portion. Spinach dip was delectable but authentic chips would be a great addition. Excellent choice in Grove.

This local breakfast-brunch restaurant is absolutely the best!!! Starting with the atmosphere where you feel like everyone is on vacation at all times. The place is super clean, staff is super professional and the food is outstanding. I kept going back and not wanting to go anywhere else because their food is so good. I had the Nutella French toast which is perfect dor the Nutella lover. But then I tried the Coconut Crusted French Toast and fell in love. Their potatoes are so good, not to mention that my Iced Caramel Macchiatto was to die for.

My best friend and I stopped by Greenstreet a few weekends ago and had an amazing experience. The restaurant provides a chic and warm environment, as well comfortable outside seating with friendly staff. Our waiter Efrain, was very courteous, friendly and his knowledge of the menu was amazing. The fact that he was well groomed, and attractive only adds to the dining experience. The menu was explained in detail as he walked us through the menu, and made recommendations. Efrain introduced us to a variety of bubbly's and kept our glasses full , he suggested the eggs benedict with the Nutella stuffed French toast which were right on the mark, and asked several times if we were satisfied with our meal. Needless to say, we were extremely well fed, and his attention to our meal and our pleasure in it, was outstanding. The food was delicious and a great value for the price, I also have to admit that it is great service; which nowadays is so hard to find, that will keep me going back to Greenstreet.

Coconut Grove is easily one of my favorite neighborhoods in Miami. It's hip and chic in equal measure, with... sounds silly, but great landscaping. Lots of green and close to the water. To be cool and attractive here is a feat in itself. And GreenStreet is probably the prettiest cafe in all of the Grove. Am-bee-aaaaance, dahling. Go and over a cocktail--they're superb anytime outside of peak hours. And brunch. Brunch hard my friends. Just brace yourself for, well, bracing service, on-the-whole.
(3)Yvonne R.
Great Cafe for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and even late hanging in Coconut Grove. The staff is always friendly and professional. I love to sit outside and enjoy Their food, my favorite dishes are The Goat Cheese Bruscheta, The Greek Salad and their Calamari appetizer. It is a perfect place to meet with friends and hand in the grove. I been going to Greenstreet for such a long time and never get tired. It is like my backyard in the Grove.

Just had breakfast here but the Nutella French toast was mighty tasty. Good coffee and eggs too.
(4)Natalie M.
Was referred to this place by some locals and it was yummy! Wasn't worth the $50 for two people but it was standard. I got the spinach & feta omelette and it was yummy. The man got herbs and tomato omelet and it was very flavorful. Very nice waitress and fast service considering how large this restaurant is.
(4)Miah P.
The waiter was attentive, despite being spread quite thin across 6 tables. The tables next to us were moved together to accommodate a teacher and 12 students, one of which was the son of a very famous basketball player. The kids were really loud, which drastically lowered the value of my experience, however that isn't really the restaurants fault. We ordered the Salmon Penne, which isn't on their menu anymore, but to my pleasure the chef said he would make it. Food was hot and delicious as remembered, the waiter was polite, and besides the unnecessary shouting, it was a nice lunch. If you like Salmon, ask the chef to make the Penne for you, it's coated in a delicious cream sauce and as usual is a huge portion.

I visited this place for Sunday Brunch because of the reviews. I arrived at 12noon and it was a 2 hour wait. I was shocked but decided to wait around and see. They will text you when a table becomes available. We were sitting outside waiting on the comfy couch and after 30minutes I learned I could order take-out from the inside bar and eat on the comfy couches that also had a table in the front.. Well we did just that and it was still perfect because the weather was perfect. I had scramble eggs, pancakes and it was ALL delicious.. I totally recommend this place.. Its a fun, happy chic atmosphere. A perfect outdoor eating when the weather is good.. I will be returning but I will arrive at 10am to try and get a table
(4)Miley M.
Honestly if I could give this place more than just five stars I would. Not only is the service fantastic, but the food is delicious, perfectly prices, and well-portioned. Sometimes the wait is long but with the app they use it tells you the wait time and exactly how many people are ahead of, which is perfect since the location is beautiful and allows you to walk around without being worried that you will miss your table since the app is on your phone. This has become my usual go to brunch location. PS. Dogs allowed (always a plus).
(5)Vanessa M.
My husband and I are having an absolutely amaze experience here! I ordered the curry chicken ravioli which was fabulous. The taste with the raisins for added sweetness was absolutely delicious, as was my peach Bellini. Julio ordered the classic cheeseburger which he is enjoying, and we loved the French fries so much we ordered an extra side! Our waiter has been friendly and attentive despite the fact that he is extremely busy. He was very helpful to us as an indecisive couple in making our meal selections. We will definitely be back for breakfast!
(5)Charity Z.
Love having breakfast here, great spot to enjoy brunch. I especially enjoyed the Mimosa. The food is pretty good,abit pricey for breakfast,but overall a great experience,love to people watch

My first review has to be on one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The restaurant that started making me a big foodie 4 years ago.... Greenstreet Cafe! Ambiance is everything with me when it comes to my restaurants and greenstreet is the definition of great ambiance. There restaurant is set up like a french bistro with plenty of greenery from the grove. Always sit outside (unless theres a hurricane), it makes the food much better and there are alot of people to watch The brunch is legendary, soft buttery french toast, great omelette selections (goat cheese and tomato!) and the banana and blueberry pancakes. Even the free bread is great! The Chorizo Mac and Cheese is a must for an appetizer! The Truffle Fries and Tuna Tartare are favorites as well. For Lunch/Dinner: I suggest the Lamburger, Skirt Steak, Lamb Chops, Sylvano's Linguini, Linguini w/ clams as well the various salads. Greenstreet will never get old to me. The food is consistently great and the service is even better. Dont hesitate to give me a shoutout when you see me stuffing my face at this wonderful place
(5)Ana F.
I had been wanting to visit this place for quite some time now and all was well except for one thing, there was a curly hair in our nutella french toast ! Yikes ! They were nice enough to take it off our bill & give us 2 free mimosas. However, the food tasted great, especially the cinnamon pancakes! I would go back just for those. The mimosas were delicious and overall i really enjoyed myself.
(4)Yannick W.
Delicious french toast...the coconut crusted one and the nutella one!
(4)Priscilla C.
Love the brunch, just hate the long wait at times (especially on weekends). Nutella stuffed french toast is a must try, and I like to keep it simple with just an omelet or scrambled eggs, and the potatoes and toast it comes with.
(4)Mel A.
I've only ever sat outside here - the weather has (luckily - so far) always permitted it, and the ambiance outside is great, either for a ladies' night, or a date night. Food isn't particularly fancy, but it *is* delicious - and the portions are sizeable. Not the fastest service in Miami, but given how popular they always seem to be, they do a very reasonable job. Definitely worth going to if you're in the Grove!
(4)Daniel T.
A great spot for drinks and people-watching and a Coconut Grove staple. It's worth a visit to hangout with friends.
(4)Betsy M.
Green Street has delicious food but after my experience last night, I will never return. The customer service that I received was horribly unprofessional. When I showed the bartender my legitimate identification he refused to serve me. After showing multiple other forms of identification to prove that I was not using a fake ID and that I am truly 21, they still refused, saying things like "this doesn't even look like your picture" or "if you are from a Southern state, then why don't you have a Southern accent?" When I finally spoke to the manager and explained the situation, she was even more rude and unprofessional than the bartenders. Other employees were huddled around the door to the kitchen watching and I felt very uncomfortable. The manager put me into tears because of her rudeness and hostile attitude. I had been attacked for doing nothing wrong. Needless to say, Green Street is notorious for serving minors. It seems ironic that they would refuse to serve me when I am legally of age and had the proper identification to prove it.
(1)Marilu F.
I love the vibe at Greenstreet and their Brunch is awesome! I do wish they had more gluten free options (everything seems to have bread involved or flour of some sort) and I also wish they'd offer more salad dressings that weren't just Balsamic Vinegar. But aside from this, cool hang out spot with good food that's just moderately overpriced. If things were a few dollars cheaper I'd be here more often.
(3)Felicia R.
I'm sorry to give this place an "OK" rating. after all the wonderful reviews, i was slightly disappointed on the service i received last Saturday morning for brunch. We were a group of 8 and were advised that splitting checks was not allowed. What? who does that? Our waiter was the worst. we all basically the same meal, eggs with potatoes. Took foooooorever. Waiter never came by to check on us, coffee or water was never refilled. Very overpriced for eggs and potatoes. sad to say I would not be returning.
(2)Laura D.
My husband and I come to this restaurant a lot of time for their famous Happy hours on Wednesday that they offer $5 whiskey, you ant beat that price. I been wanting to try their brunch but every time we decide to do so the wait is almost an hour long. But today we arrived around 2pm and we only waited 20mins. I order veggie omelette that came with potatoes and toast And it was great , but my husband eggs Benedict didn't taste that good, specially when it came to the hollandaise sauce it was pure mayo. Not to many restaurant could make Hollandaise sauce the right way, it was sad that they couldn't get it right. We both order a latte and it was horrible water down coffee. I will continue coming for their Happy Hours but not some much for the food. :(
(3)Patrick F.
Nice outdoor seating venue with good atmosphere! i hadn't had lamb in a while, so I got the lamb chops. They were perfect! Paired with grilled asparagus, TASTY! Friends got Chicken Picatta and Skirt steak and they were impressed as well. Decent wine selection, although lacking on beer selection, mainly domestics. Kick up the craft notch and impress a few more folks guys! All in all a great place and i would recommend to anyone!
(4)Hadassah I.
This is a great place to bring your out of town guests. They get a good view of the Miami Scene from the comfort of a very nice outdoor eating area. My favorites are the lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberry compote and the goat cheese salad.
(4)Ricardo M.
I had to post how bad we were treated. The food was OK. Awesome location. But for me human values come first . the waitress looked like they just woke up with a hangover . made us wait more than 10 min for one order. After 10 min she asked me if I could move because somebody wanted our table really bad. I was very disappointed. I decline and said that was wrong. And she explain that it should not be a big deal. I stayed because I did not want to make a big deal. But I will not come back .. The power of the consumer is in writing reviews and not coming back back or recommending. Some places are amazing but the staff is horrible.
(1)j d.
Had breakfast with friends yesterday. Have been there many times but I was impressed yesterday by both the service and the food. The waiter was very friendly and knew the menu really well so he made a few recommendations. I had an omelette with vegetables and a cappuccino. It was really good! All my friends were also happy with their plates. Great place to go and sit outside. Great location and great service. Congratulations!!
(5)Larry S.
Been coming here for years. BUT...about 2 months ago they changed their Bloody Mary mix. This combined with a horrible pepper around the top of the glass, makes it something I will never order again. The have a new bartender team that needs to go back to bartending school.
(5)Meghan S.
I have only been here once and that was for dinner but I found it to be delicious and definitely worth visiting again. It has an awesome atmosphere that was nice but casual at the same time. I had the lobster ravioli (OMG YUM!!!) and shared the brownie with ice cream for dessert. After reading the reviews it looks like I need to try out the brunch some time for sure. If you are nearby I would definitely say try this place out!!
(4)Sabrina G.
I have never written a bad review since I've joined yelped but I've never been treated this way going out to eat. This places was recommended to me by a friend so me and my husband decided to check it out. The wait was an hour to an hour and a half which is fine with me I mean it is sunday and the brunch group is pretty thick. So we grabbed a waiting table and waited for the waiter to take out beverage order... 30 minutes goes by and the server never stops at our table.... Everyone else's but not our table.... 15 more minutes passes by and another server see us and ask if we have been helped . We tell him no and he takes out beverage order and said the server would be bringing my mimosa..... I never got my mimosa. It's not until my friend flagged down the waiter that I asked to speak to a manager. When the manager finally came to our table I kindly told her the situation as to how we have been sitting there for more than an hour being completely ignored while she served every table but ours.. The manager kindly apologies and gave us a complementary round of beverages that never made it to our table. Eventually we gave up on this place and left. I will never set foot in this establishment again.
(1)Ingrid D.
I love coming here and sitting at the bar with my friends! Your bartenders Amy and Emily are fantastic and the manager Nick always takes care of the customers. Very impressed with the way they work together to make the best dining experience possible! I will continue coming as a regular multiple times s week!
(5)Zuli Z.
Great food and service. Very loud, but very welcoming at the same time. Heat outside was unbearable plus mosquitos, eat inside. Probably much better during cool months to sit outside.
(4)Jen T.
Here we go.... The little entourage of hostesses is terrible. They all have bad attitudes and clearly don't want to be here on a Sunday...(get a new job, ladies)...they told me, with a perfect eye roll, that there was a 2 hour wait...We waited in bar area, the bartender outside, Rebecca, was great. Super helpful, despite being the only bartender for 30+ people. Then we got seated, after an hour and a half (not complaining, because I was enjoying my mimosas outside) ...our waiter wasn't very present. He forgot our drinks, our food was super late. Luckily, GreenStreet Cafe has incredible food, it's worth the wait on a lazy Sunday but the staff needs to go. I don't want to feel like an inconvenience when I'm dining out.
(3)Charles S.
I met a a friend at GSC for brunch on a sunny Saturday morning. It was jammed with locals and tourists -- including loads of families with kids. The brunch menu goes in two directions -- either big, lovely omelets accompanied by crispy hash browns and toast or fancy pancakes and french toast. The goat cheese and spinach omelet was huge and I ate every bite of the omelet + half a toasted baguette and a huge mound of potatoes. The place is cute and definitely could be a go to breakfast spot if you live in the Grove or at a nearby hotel, but I suspect there are equally tasty breakfast places in every neighborhood. In short GSC is good, but is not worth driving more than a few minutes to. Doesn't that sound like a pretty good definition of three stars? .
(3)Britt A.
Went to Greenstreet yesterday afternoon for a late (important to note; read on) lunch with my brother and his fiancé. Never was a huge fan, but it had been a while since I'd ben and since it was suggested, just sucked it up and went....My experience is exactly why my instinct generally dictates my actions. 1. The service was ridiculously SLOW. It was rainy and nearly 3pm. The Grove thrives on walking traffic; there were maybe 30% of tables filled in the back room and a few others watching world cup at bar. 2. Had to ask for bread plates and place settings. 3. We ordered 2 salads and a lasagna. You'd think they had to go pick the greens themselves as long as it took. No exaggeration; took 52 minutes to get our food with a less than half full restaurant and the simplest of dishes ordered 4. When the food FINALLY arrives my salmon and my future sister in law's chicken were both COLD. Cah-learly they had prepared our proteins first and just had it sitting in the window. When waitress comes by to ask 'how is everything', I tell her and she admits what happens with no offer to fix it. Space cadet... 5. HAIR IN FOOD. There was a hair in my sister's salad and we had to,of course, take it back. i, too, lost my appetite and stopped eating 6. Very warm. They keep the door opens I guess to keep a breezy feel, but if you choose to do so, you must not be cheap on the A/C. We are in the midst of hurricane season in miami. it is hot and humid. Up the air. Had to request to turn the air up. We were literally forming sweat beads on our forehead (salmon too cold; restaurant too warm...go figure) 6. Now to the food....MEDIOCRE AT BEST. Had the service and temperature of BOTH THE FOOD AND THE ESTABLISHMENT been to standards; I would have excused the basic food as an off day, but uhhh never again. Lesson Learned: Stick to your gut. Subpar Food. Subpar Service. No clue how they are still in business.
(2)Jon L.
Ahi tuna salad is very good. Watch out for the goat cheese pizza - while tasty, it can be overcooked. I would also get rid of those posters containing close-ups of miserable people. Not appetizing or tasteful.
(3)Tiffany H.
Went for dinner at 8 on a Sunday night. Only 2 other couples sitting inside, though the place was packed outside/in the bar area. It seemed because it was so bare inside, staff forgot to come back in... we waited 10+ minutes for anyone to come to our table, after we'd been seated. Once he got there though, the waiter consistently came back and was friendly. As for the food: the hummus lacked any flavor at all, I'd suggest a different appetizer. The salmon was delicious, and the lobster ravioli was good, although the sauce really overwhelmed the lobster itself. Our drinks were all delicious, the raspberry lemon drop was my favorite. The tres leches cake was also delicious. Overall, I'd go back just to repeat the salmon, lemon drop and cake! And I'd like to try some other appetizers and entrees, the place is worth checking out. It's very cute inside as well, a great date spot.
(4)C G.
very disappointed with GreenStreet. definitely not what it usto be. the portions have gotten smaller and the quality of the food has gone down tremendously. Im allergic to MSG and just discovered that they put MSG on everything!!! Salad dressings, chicken, pizza, calamari. You are basically paying to get sick. Horrible! Very disappointing!
(1)Joann C.
How have I waited so long and not gone to this Coconut Grove staple? Its ok, it was worth the wait! The only reason I did not give this place a full 5 stars was that the service was not so good at the time. We waited a long time for someone to come to our table just to get our drinks, only to have another waiter realize we had not been helped. When our waiter finally did arrive to take our order, it took a very long time to get any follow up. We ordered hazelnut syrup, this was not provided. When trying to remind our server of this, couldnt find him and it took him a really long time to come by again to check on us. Same thing for requesting the check, getting the check, and getting it paid. I finally had to stand up and walk to the front service to pay my bill, only to be intercepted by my waiter. And then another wait to sign my card... that aside, the food was very good! Highly recommend Steve's Banana Pancakes and the Jamaican Jerk eggs. I would also like to point out that breakfast potatoes are pretty standard and are nothing to be excited for usually...but here...they stand out! I want to go again just to repeat the exact items I ordered ...but I will be sure to get a different waiter.
(4)Eriko M.
Had their chocolate french toast. It's not on the menu so you have to specifically ask for it. It was nice that real semisweet chocolate bars were inside the french toast but I was hoping that it would be dipped in chocolate. It was okay.
(3)Monica R.
Nice place to have some drinks and apps. Dont leave until you try the fries! SOOO GOOD!!! Can get pricey but the food is definitely worth it, specially if you have the fries! I had the lamb burger with goat cheese with fries....it was good but I would have preferred the good ole angus...next time...because I will definitely be back ....for more fries. If you have friends/family in town definitely stop buy for drinks and people watching...they wont forget it...or the fries. truffle fries. The End.

Last night I went to GreenStreet Cafe with a large group to celebrate a friend's birthday. So often when we go out to other restaurants, the service is lousy and figuring out checks is a mess. Earlier in the week a reservation was made at GreenStreet Cafe for 20 people; however, a couple of days later we were told the reservation could only be kept if everyone ordered from a fixed, pre-determined menu - which is not what we wanted to do. We decided to go to GreenStreet Cafe anyway but anticipated having some issues as a group of 20 people without a reservation. When we arrived, the restaurant seemed to be fairly busy (Saturday 8pm). Even so, the staff managed to put together tables to seat 20 people with minimal wait time. As more friends trickled in, GreenStreet Cafe allowed us to add more tables and chairs to accommodate our growing group. We were fortunate to have Justin as our waiter for the evening. Justin was absolutely wonderful. He had a great attitude and was very responsive. I can't say enough good things about Justin because I was so impressed with the service. I will definitely be going back to GreenStreet Cafe and asking to sit in Justin's section :)
(5)Jorge M.
Awful service! Went for Brunch they told us they would text us when the table is ready. When I arrived to the table they messed up and the table was not available. Then the staff particularly the Manager became very rude telling me and my kids to go back outside. My 7 year old crying and they wouldn't even bring us an OJ to calm her down.
(1)Brooke B.
Went here tonight for date night with my boyfriend. We were looking for something casual. There was no wait, and we asked to sit outside. The waiter was great, super nice and friendly. The food came out quickly and the flatbread was delicious...super thin and crispy crust. Just as our entrees came out, I started to get bitten by bugs. The waiter immediately escorted us to a table inside and moved all our food and drinks inside and was very nice about it! Good food, good service, I'll be back!
(5)Julian H.
Drove all the way from Kendall for their Brie Puff Pastry and Meat Lasagne and they were out of BOTH. I was so upset and our server did nothing about it. Such a shame and waste of time..
(1)She Wolf B.
How is it even possible that a restaurant with a french owner can't properly prepare brie? it was a cold gelatinous mess on first pass, a gritty scrambled egg like mess on the second, needless to say we were unwilling to chance a third...we left, never to return!
(1)Leyna O.
This was my first time in green street and it was delicious food but the service was awful. The hostesses were great and very professional but the server barely paid attention to our table and it took more than 30 minutes to get our food. The managers were all over the place and seem like they have no idea what they are doing. There was a bad smell coming from what seemed to be the staff room and the restaurant was not very clean or taken care of. I don't plan on returning.
(1)Ana M.
I've been hearing about this place forever and I finally got to check it out for brunch. There was some good, some bad but overall it was a decent experience. This place gets very packed and most of the seating is outdoors, and it being Miami in January, it was very hot. There were no fans in sight except for one right above our table that was grimy and disgusting, and I'm sure if we had asked them to turn it on, it would have blown nasty black stuff all over our food. So we sat in the heat instead. If I had seen the menu before going, I might have suggested another place because it is the most unremarkable thing. It's like they took a Denny's menu and upgraded the quality. (Who goes out to brunch to order continental breakfast?!) I ordered a ham and cheese omelette and a Heavenly Street, which was a raspberry flavored champagne cocktail. That was delicious. The omelette was equally great, also a very healthy portion. It came with potatoes and toast. I ordered white, I got wheat. Why even ask then? The "potatoes" are nothing more than cubed fries. They're good but nothing spectacular. We asked the server for ketchup a couple of times. When she brought it out, she gave us one tiny cup of it, even though there were 5 of us and almost all of us had fries. Even though the food is great, I'm not totally convinced I would ever go back here. I can get a decent cheese omelette wherever.
(3)Steve C.
So disappointing. This is my first negative review as a Yelper. I've been to Greenstreet many times, and for the most part I'd rate them 3.5 to 4 stars. Today's brunch was horrible. Our party of 4 were welcomed by the waiter within an acceptable timeframe..he took our drink order, brought water and then vanished, never to be seen again. We asked another server, Maria, to come to our rescue. She was the bright spot...friendly, attentive and apologetic. We once again ordered our drinks and placed our food orders. Given they were slammed, let's overlook that it took 30 minutes to get our food...basically egg dishes. To a person, each of our egg dishes were significantly over cooked...and cold. It almost seemed like they had been pre-cooked hours earlier. When you order a cheese omelette and the cheese is not gooey...it's a bad sign. The potatoes...oh the potatoes. I've always said there's nothing better than French fries that are hot out of a fryer,...and nothing worse than cold fries. The same goes for home fries. Today's home fries were cold, chewy and overcooked. On the good side, I wasn't tempted to eat them..thus maintaining a New Years resolution. The atmosphere was great...but for breakfast/brunch we'll be finding other venues.

Very tasty fresh dolphin. Good service - better people watching. Get the artichoke and enjoy
(4)Odalys A.
Food was good , but service i do not want to remember, after almost 15 minutes , we had water and bread over the table, them another 15 minutes to order a botle of wine, the fried calamary we order to start was served in another table , so wait time was longer than 25 minutes and not only that , we order a second bottle of wine, but never was served , we ask for the ticket and they charged for the wine we never received, so the server noticed that and she ask if we still want it , she never apologized for tthe horrible service we received. I will never want to go back.
(2)Diego A.
Excellent service for families, I was there this morning my son broke a glass and they were as nice as anybody can be. The food fuel me for the rest of the day, and I am writing this review because of that. Excellent french bread, baguettes and omelets. I liked it a lot...
(4)Aaron W.
This place is always a must for late night dining. We started out with the caramelized onion flat bread and a strawberry lychee martini. The cocktail was great. I found myself drinking most of her first drink and ordering a set for the both of us.the flatbread had great flavor but it seemed to dry overall. It was in need of some oil or sauce to be complete. Next we shared the lobster ravioli. It was tasty with a really good sauce. The pasta was creamy and cooked to perfection but was lacking enough lobster. Overall I love this place. You just have to try everything and see what works for you.
(4)Evelyn L.
I LOVE this place!!! I've taken all my friends & co-workers here. The food is amazing & the service is great. My only complaint is that the hostesses can sometimes be snarky. But overall I love the place. I've been coming here for years now. My friends even make jokes that I should possibly become part owner. Whenever people in Coconut Grove ask me where they should go eat. I immediately send them here. GreenStreet has tons of variety. I've tried several things on the menu & have yet to be dissapointed. This is definitely a staple here in Coconut Grove. The quality is great & the service fast. If I decided to move out of the state this is definitely a place I would miss. Also, if you are ever in the inside bar.. Amy is the best!!! I've had times when I've had a pick up order & I got there a few minutes before it was done. Amy immediately is accomdating. She'll let me know of all the delicious drinks on the menu that I should try while waiting. I have immediately spent more money, because of her. It was money well spent. Because she made me never want to leave & just hang out with everyone else there. Great atmosphere!
(5)Gabriel S.
Owney's BottomLine: Outdoor seating, great brunch and beautiful people. F' yeah! My girlfriend and I had a pretty stressful week with work so we were elated to find this gem for a fantastic brunch. I ordered the scrambled eggs with jerk spice with homefries, a side of chorizo and added a cappuccino. This hit the spot and dinning outside in such perfect weather made this even better. She got the chocalate french toast which may have been to rich/sweet for her. She enjoyed it, but it wasnt her favorite. I enjoyed it, but it did require a strong sweet tooth. Keep in mind the portions are significant and you will get full.
(4)William G.
The best choice for a Grove sidewalk seat, we love this place. Our cheerful server, Justin, was more than helpful with vegan modifications. Fig salad - no cheese - perfect balance of flavors, not overdone. As always, it was AWESOME.
(5)George H.
This place really is great a bit noisy if you eat inside. The place is very fresh the only reason for the 3 stars is the price felt to high and I was only there for breakfast and the food was basic things noting extravagant
(3)Stacy A.
I absolutely love the red couches outside, and the huge red couch inside! A great breakfast spot that also doubles as a great place for drinks for girls night out! The decorations are very cool! Tasty food, but some of it can be a little pricy. Definitely a staple of the grove and always has a fun night. Usually good for large groups, but once our waiter completely messed up splitting the bill among multiple cards and had a bad attitude about it. But other waiters have been decent.
(4)Trina C.
Not good for lunch! We originally intended to come here for brunch, but we were running late and when we got there the waitress said they were going to stop breakfast in about 10 minutes, so we just went with lunch. Bad choice. All three of us ordered pastas. We had the penne tetrazzini and the linguine with shrimp. They were very mediocre and very salty! Way too salty. We ordered the humus appetizer which tasted bland. We will be going back for breakfast / brunch but as far as lunch goes, go somewhere else.

My husband and I went here for brunch it was delicious! I had the Nutella waffles and it was hard to not order another one. Try it if you have a sweet tooth like I do. My husband ordered their scrambled eggs with salsa, which he loved! I tried it and it was, but not as good as my waffles. He also ordered a jack and coke and surprising it wasn't a small cup and it was strong. I was very impressed.

This review is strictly for Sunday brunch. Pet friendly. Great location. Long wait but great service. Very interesting people watching. Three words, red velvet pancakes! One more word: Perfection.
(5)Andres C.
Great brunch place. Love the ambiance. Perfect place for a bloody mary and a burger on a Sunday!
(4)Stephen L.
Great place for the blueberry pancakes if you like a sweet breakfast or the jerk scrambled eggs if you want some spice. Top it off with a Bloody Maria and you have the perfect breakfast.
(5)Oriana O.
I absolutely love this place! My boyfriend and I have gone a handful of times and always enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, great food, and classy details. I have tried their omelettes, potatoes, pancakes, nutella french toast, mushroom sandwhich, lattes, and so on. All mouth watering. The presentation is great and it tastes great!

This has been one of my favorite restaurants for at least three years now. We eat there a few times each month. The food is consistently good and, in fact, the food has been improving lately. However, I am upset that they got rid of the mixed berry cobbler. I've eaten it for dessert regularly and it was something most restaurants don't offer as opposed to the brownie with vanilla ice cream (which I also enjoy by the way). Management, if you're reading this: I'm not happy about that decision!! P.S. shout out to vlad our server who ran half a block to bring us our forgotten leftovers.
(4)David S.
Always good, always reliable. GreenStreet always delivers. I usually go for the Caesar salad with jerk chicken, but I don't think I've ever ordered a dish here that I didn't like.
(5)Joseph G.
Liza was my waitress and she was awesome. She checked up on us and made sure that our drinks were always full. It's very refreshing to know that their are waitresses that genuinely care about the quality of my outing. I would definitely recommend coming here because it's a lot of fun and the staff is dedicated to making sure that you have a memorable experience.
(5)Misael N.
Great food great service. Must try the Nutella French toast !
(4)Luis D.
Went to Greenstreet last week for the first time and I would have to say that overall I had a great experience. I was surprised at how packed this place was on a weekday during the day. The food recommended by my waitress, Rebecca, was phenomenal. I am in love with the Nutella french toast!!! The only reason I didn't give a rating of 5 stars was because the food took a little longer than expected but our waitress was on top of it the whole time and kept us laughing while we waited. We will definitely be coming back for the Cinnamon pancakes. Great place to eat!!!
(4)Carrie R.
I honestly don't understand the hype about this place. The breakfast is alright- plus it's terribly overpriced. Food is not creative nor imaginative. Though our waiter was really nice it couldn't save this place from suffering the crime of most Miami hyped eateries. Pros: outdoor seating, pet friendly. Cons: overpriced fare, bland food, no fans- it's south florida for chrissakes!
(2)Enrique C.
My daughter wanted to celebrate her birthday here with her friends so I took her. Since it was weeknight there were plenty of tables inside. The people were very friendly and attentive. The appetizers, drinks, food and desserts were great. All the plates of food that we ordered were great. You can't go wrong with any of their plates. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Have lived in the grove for 5+ years and greenstreet is always a favorite for drinks, dinner, and brunch. One Tuesday, my friends and I had a hankering for Indian food and decided to get a drink first at green street. Much to our dismay, Bombay darbar was closed (typically closed on Tuesday). While at the bar deciding what to do next and voicing our disappointment, the bartender suggested an off menu dinner item that must be included on the menu. Chicken piccata with the curry sauce (from the ravioli) over basmati rice. It was to die for. Dined again late last night and asked the waitor to see if the chef would accommodate this meal again, to which he happily complied. Our waitor suggested that if we post on yelp our chances of this delicious chicken dish may become a regular item on the menu. Please green street owner(s) add this deliciousness :)
(5)Y L.
I went there a couple nights ago with my mom and had such a great experience. Our food was delicious. I had the short ribs and my mom had the salmon. I never eat salmon but the sauce they put on it make it's amazing. We also shared the Brie starter which was so good. We experienced great customer service from Justin. He had such a good personality and was very knowledgable about the menu. It was my first time actually dining there and I'll definitely be back!
(5)John O.
Mediocrity, a term we have all gotten used to. Also a term this place has gotten more than comfortable with. Falling into what I call the "tar pit" that most restaurants fall into, Greenstreet charges premium prices for mediocre food and service. The drinks are pricey and easily beat anywhere in the grove. I know that the grove is up and coming but it's still a questionable place to chill. A bus trip from UM, expect the whole area to flood with drunk and horny college students Tuesday-Saturday after 9pm. My suggestion? Screw it, why try with Greenstreet
(2)Monica C.
My friends and I had breakfast here. The food was good, and the prices were reasonable. Service was okay. The restaurant has a warm, comfy atmosphere.
(4)Sylvia S.
Love this place. Great atmosphere and happy hour specials
(5)Robin C.
Absolutely love this place. The food is always beyond expectations, the service is excellent and the atmosphere is great. I often choose GreenStreet Cafe for special occasions. It never disappoints.
(5)Ralph G.
Brought the whole family here for Brunch on Memorial Day. They gave us a wait time of 45 minutes but we were seated in about 15 minutes. The server was attentive and gave good recommendations.. The food was tasty and well prepared. No real complaints.. the only drawback is pricing.. we spent about $22 per person.. which is a bit pricey for breakfast.
(4)MICHELLE C.
Located in the middle of the Grove, all outdoor seating. A friend and I stopped in for Happy Hour and dinner. I had been here before for breakfast which was very good. We decided to sit in the lounge area outside which was nice other than they really need to clean or get new furniture. From the weather and being outside the couches were stained badly. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. They do not have a great happy hour. Basically no food just beer specials and two dollars off wine by the glass and well drinks for I believe $6. I ordered a couple of glasses of wine and my friend ordered vodka and pineapple which she said tasted like water. I would have sent it back asking for more vodka please. Happy hour does not mean, skimp on the alcohol. As I looked at the menu, nothing was really sparking my interest. Burgers, pizza, wraps, salads and pasta dishes were basically it. I found their prices to be high. It felt like the beach prices. I ordered a salmon salad at $16. Once we received our food, my salmon was fresh, grilled with nice seasonings, fresh lettuce and very good dressing. I enjoyed my salad very much. We enjoyed our dinner, and service was great. Although my salad was very good, it is not a place I would come out of my way to come to. Mainly for me because of their menu selection and prices. I have never been a fan of the Grove. Most restaurants here are high priced and food is average at best.

If I could have 10 stars on this place I would. Where should I begin? Breakfast: I'm a regular there and usually have bagel with cream cheese and a side of potatoes. coffee in a to go cup and a diet coke.....this is AMAZING!! There chocolate chip pancakes are FIRE and scrambled eggs with ham, out of this world. Lunch: My favorite chicken wrap with fries!!!!!!!!! Those thin slice fries you just want more and more. Dinner: I usually have the Penne chicken pasta. Really good, it comes in a pink sauce which is incredible. I go there at least once a week and every time I go my expectations are met. Alex the manager is always greeting customers while still running the restaurant to the max. He is really friendly and always makes sure the customer is happy. Justin is an amazing waiter. I get there he already knows exactly what I want. My husband was impressed one morning when we arrived, he thought that something was up because no had welcomed us at the table but it was that Justin saw us come in and when he came to welcome us he had already in hand my diet coke, coffee in a to go cup and two glasses of water!!!!! 10 stars for Justin. Overall this place is my ultimate favorite. I can live off of GREENSTREET my whole life. I enjoy this place sooooooo much I purchased the shirts that the waiters and waitresses wear!!!
(5)Jeanie S.
Great service if you get there around 7:30-8 and really great food! I love the pasta they have.
(5)Beatriz G.
The food was great, but Justin, our server, was extremely kind, provided us with excellent customer service and gave us a detailed description of the entrees, which really pushed the dining experienced over the top. He is a real pro!!! We had not visited the restaurant for a while, but we will definitely be back soon.
(5)Claudia O.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Miami! Consistently good and awesome ambiance! Love the service!
(5)Vivian Y.
Whether you want brunch or dinner, Greenstreet is a failsafe in miami. Their french toast is one of the best in town and their salmon is cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is vibrant and the wait staff is quick and friendly. If you have to wait anytime at all it is worth it.
(5)Nini H.
I've lived in the Grove for over a decade and this place has been a staple. Menu hasn't changed much in that time. Staff of course has turned over a bit. The current staff is a bit hit or miss. The food is good, omelettes drenched in butter, french toast nice and crispy, don't expect healthy in terms of preparation but do expect good in terms of taste. The level of butter used is sure to get your arteries screaming but maybe that's why people love it so much. Drinks are the real reason I love this place. The Bloody Mary's are some of the best I've had. Some say it's the best breakfast in the Grove, expect a long wait on Sunday's and holidays. Friendly atmosphere from the bar staff inside they take the time to get to know you, when you pull up a bar stool it's like coming home.
(3)Laura M.
Love this place! Great service, French toast and omelets
(5)Belinda B.
Location Location Location...makes food taste better..food is average to below average. Location enhances the experience. Actually brought the 2 stars up to 3 stars. Had the goat cheese flatbread...it was flat...well..go enjoy the location.
(3)Bill B.
Tons of places to eat and drink in the Grove. This is one of them. Lots of outside seating which is where we always like to sit. The server was good and the selection of beers was good. The food was enjoyable but nothing to get excited about. Not disappointing, not exceptional. One of our party had their order botched and the manager was kind enough to apologize and give us a free dessert for the table. I left town and my friends said they came back for breakfast as it was highly recommended. Apparently the breakfast here is excellent as my friends did say it was quite good. Go again? Sure. Recommend you try it? Absolutely.
(3)Mona K.
Friendly Staff Great Portion of food - I had the Mediterranean Salad - YUMMY! My S/O had the Duck Salad - Also YUMMY! Heart of Coconut Grove And if you check in - you get either a free desert or Appetizer!! I had a very enjoyable dinner!
(5)Ben A.
Just went this time for a pre-dinner drink outside with friends. Love the vibe. Decently quick service with a smile. Looking forward to returning
(4)Johnny T.
Lunch, people. Lunch. I see a lot of inconsistency/complaints about brunch, happy hour, etc. Avoid all that drama by stopping by around 12:30 on a Tuesday and going to town on the lunch menu. Odds are, there won't be many people in the restaurant so you can get attentive service in the back room (which resembles one of the many parlors I will one day have in Chateau Johnree). You can order something savory that's not egg-based and end the meal with something sweet that's not a pancake. And, most importantly, you can actually enjoy your meal and experience at this Coconut Grove staple. #belikeme As one might surmise, I came for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon and sat my perky (I really should have a workout tape) nalgas on a velour throne and proceeded to pretend to listen to my lunch mate but, in reality, I just stared at myself in the adjacent mirror. Sounds perfect, right? It gets better. Our waiter was friendly and a little goofy. He tried a bit too hard but his heart was entirely in the right place. In the nearly year since I moved to Miami, I have experienced more d@amn-now-I-have-to-CUT-you service than I have in my entire life. If a waiter wants to crack wise and do his best to make my dining experience a pleasant one? Go for it. Unfortunately, he's in the minority. Jokes cracked, buttocks rested, Arnold Palmer ordered (the best lunch time beverage) and reflection looked at, it was time to decide on food. Let me let you in on a secret: for lunch, go light savory and end light sweet. It's not 'plastics' but I promise you the advice will take you far. Listening to my own advice, I opted for the grilled chicken sandwich. It was of a fairly-large size and came adorned with honey mustard, bacon and swiss cheese. Instead of fries, I chose a side of black beans to go with the sandwich. BAM! I win. I always win. Not only was the meal big enough to sate my appetite, it tasted great, was meal-time appropriate (there's an etiquette to eating) and made me consider the next time I would come to GS to have it again. But, that's not where the story ends. You have to end on a light sweet note, remember? Good. Now, remember this: lemon ricotta donuts with blackberry dipping sauce. ... If I have to say anything else after that last sentence, you're not listening or trying very hard. Crazy. Good. Share because you're in public but don't really share by eating the majority of the donuts before your friend can. Sorry, friend. And, that's how you win at eating at GS. Are you looking at my bum?
(4)Mitzy R.
Great place for breakfast, Coffee, Brunch Or dinner even for drinks Service is Fast, waiters are friendly and fast. Portions are kind on the bigger side. They have plenty of healthy alternatives .
(4)Caro D.
Sometimes, when my friends are having a bad week, when they really need a turn in their life, when they really really need a pick me up, I bring them to Green Street and make them order breakfast (served until at least 2PM, every day, by the way) The breakfast potatoes, they are life changing. Life. Changing. Yea yea yea, Green Street has great cocktails, appetizers, fine food, awesome decor and hot waiters, but those breakfast potatoes, they are therapy. Coupled with a tomato, goat cheese and onion omelette and you have a $12 slice of heaven, right there on your massive cocoanut grove-emblazoned plate. Couple that slice of heaven with an iced cappuccino, and you will be ready for anything, even if it's just non-stop gabbing about your hot waiter.
(5)Lee H.
This place is just good. The location is really great as it's in a quiter part of coconut grove. Most exciting about this place is that they offer an eggs and caviar option which I think is incredible. That said, I opted for eggs and Brie which was fantastic. The sesame bagel and potatoes were excellent. I think there are little fried onions shreds in it which tasted great. Bottom line a worthwhile stop for breakfast. The only minorly annoy thing was they charged $1.25 for an extra side of cream cheese.
(4)Ari K.
Use to be better, had breakfast there was quite unimpressed.
(3)I O.
Went here for brunch on a Tuesday. Got the eggs with cheese, potatos and maple ham ..usual breakfast food along with a YUMMY fruit plate. The food was devine, as well as the fresh fruit. Sat outside, calm setting on this particular time and day. Service was great and very attentive! 4 instead of 5...well even for the Grove I believe the price is a tad steep
(4)Jack H.
Excellent breakfast of Nutella Stuffed French Toast and a side a Greek Yogurt. Wonderful sidewalk atmosphere. Where the ball got dropped is my waitress disappeared after I was served and it took me flagging down several others to get my check. If my server had gone on break or whatever -- you would think that they would have this covered -- but no one seemed like they could be bothered.
(3)Dung N.
It was my first time in Miami and I was the first one to arrive that day. My friend was able to take me out and show me around a little bit that night. Thursdays happen to be college night at The Grove. We stopped here since Fat Tuesday was kinda dead. I love their comfy couches and people watching. I didn't have any food, but they do give you some spicy nuts and crackers to munch on. The ambiance is great!
(4)Lew B.
Awesome spot for breakfast. Great location, great decor. The food is incredible. Generous portions prepared to order. Cinnamon roll pancakes. Are you kidding me? The best pancakes I've ever had in 44 years of life.
(5)Adam E.
In a nut shell, Good food, large portions but service is poor. Food: price is reasonable (25$ for girlfriend and I) portions were large. Food was slightly above average. Service: sucked. Brought out dirty water cup. Had 3 different servers come up to us but they never checked back. Had to flag them down for condiments and the bill.
(3)Anthony B.
Got a chance to try this place out. Very good. Didn't have a long wait, got seated right away. The giant chairs they have freak me out a bit, but that's just me. Food came out fast, I had the orange chicken which was cooked really well. The skin could have been a tad bit crisper, but I'm nitpicking. The meat was tender so I don't have any complaints. Friends had no complaints about their food either, so all is good. We had the Tempura Banana desert, which was really good. I was already full to begin with, but I managed to find room for this. It was a good combo of warm/cold/sweet/and FRIED. Can't go wrong with fried. The waiter was friendly and came around to refill waters/bread as needed. Gave us some suggestions on what to do while in Florida and was generally a nice guy. If you're in Miami, grab a bite here, the food is good!
(4)S S.
OK service. Went to visit Miami to watch a Dolphins vs. Jets game on Sunday and a friend of ours suggested this place to us. He told us they have the BEST french toast so the four of us went. We ordered half of french toast and an omelette. Honestly, I didn't think it was "the best". It was good, but I've had better. Good prices though! They have cool seats and you can sit outside/inside. I would recommend it to my friends... They have other stuff on the menu as well, so I would most likely go back if I get the chance.
(4)Adam P.
Large portions and great people watching are the highlights at Greenstreet cafe. Quality of food at Breakfast was good but not great. Although we didn't try it, the nutella stuffed french toast looked quite tasty.
(3)Stephanie G.
I went back to GreenStreet a couple of weeks ago and it'd been YEARS since my last visit. I'm not sure why I hadn't gone back, but it probably has something to do with the fact that I rarely leave Brickell. I remember thinking in the past that the food at GreenStreet was phenomenal. I think my palette is much more refined than it once was. I arrived at GreenStreet on the Saturday of the Coconut Grove Arts Festival expecting to wait a million years for a table. As expected, we waited a million years for a table. Once we sat down, we ordered the truffle brie wrapped in puff pastry since our server enthusiastically announced that it was the best item on the menu. It was...underwhelming. I then had the goat cheese salad and added chicken. I expected the salad to be much more flavorful than it was. My friend ordered the lasagna which she didn't seem too enthusiastic about. Overall, our visit to GreenStreet was pleasant, since the outdoor seating area provides excellent people-watching and the weather outside that day was perfect. In my humble opinion, if you're looking for a place to relax outside with friends and enjoy the lovely atmosphere, GreenStreet is your place. If you're expecting an out-of-this-world culinary experience, go elsewhere. PS I can't believe they still only have one women's bathroom stall, someone has GOT to do something about that!!!!!
(3)Lory T.
I love this place. Especially, because I get to bring my dog. I had the lasagna and it was delicious . My boyfriend had the blacken dolphin and according to him was great. The ambiance was also great. The waiter was on point with the services. The reason for the four stars was because yamile(our waiter)was refilling my wine all the time and you can't go wrong with that.
(4)Stefanie C.
I have heard great things about their brunch. Sadly their dinner does not compare. I ordered the "blackened dolphin." It was incredibly dry and very bland. The veggies were ok but cooked heavy in oil and butter. My bf got the fish of the day (snapper) with a side of sautéed spinach. His fish was just as boring as mine and the spinach was drenched in oil. Thank goodness for our wonderful waiter or I would have left really unhappy. Our waiter was so sweet and attentive. He made our experience go from horrible to decent. Ill be back to try their brunch but definitely never for dinner.
(2)Gaby S.
Love this place! tried going to lulu's around 11 but they said they were closed and only serving drinks. We were starving so we came to greenstreet to see what was on the menu and order some food. They have a late night menu which we opted to get the calamri and flat bread pizza.. both were really good and at a good price. The place was also really upbeat and had a lot of people which i liked. Cool, fun and trendy place to go to and chill out, drink and grub. Im a fan of green street and i know you will be too :)
(4)Jorge M.
Came here during the Coconut Grove Art Show. We sat outside cause the weather was perfect to be outdoors and enjoying a meal. We started off with some calamari and it was just ok. in my opinion it had to much breading and should use a different type other than Italian bread crumbs. Then I had a Blue Cheese Burger with sauteed onions and mushrooms that was cooked perfectly. I got it with shoe string french fries. My friends had the Fig Salad with grilled chicken strips( large portion) and one other person had the same burger as I did but he got it with grilled veges. it took awhile for the food but I guess it was because of the Art Show. The waitress we had was attentive to our table filling the glasses of water and checking to see how our food was and if we needed anything else.I will definitely eat here again.
(3)Tom L.
After passing by this often crowded corner so many times I decided to try it for once. My girlfriend and I had a series of yummy dishes. We started with the Truffle Brie baked in Puff Pastry served with crispy toasts. It was melt in your mouth good! After that I had the Goat Cheese Pizza and my girlfriend had the blackened dolphin. The pizza had a delicious thin crispy crust and a generous coating of goat cheese along with arugula and sun dried tomatoes. The blackened dolphin was moist, flaky and perfectly spicy. This was impressive as most restaurants over cook and dry out their blackened fish. The fish was served with the largest asparagus spears I've ever seen - very tasty! Service was prompt and polite.
(4)Virginia M.
Outer seating? Check. Great ambiance? Check. Strong drinks? Check. Good food? Check. Wonderful service? Check. Will I be coming again? Yes. Their pizza is delicious! Though skip the chips and salsa as the salsa has no spice to it (maybe a personal preference?)
(4)Alejandra S.
Very long wait for Sunday brunch and the food was just ok. Don't get what the big deal is about.
(3)Emily C.
Yelp led me astray on this one. We did not enjoy our experience and won't go back. When we called to see if they were open on New Year's Day, the hostess was extremely rude. Ok, maybe we caught her in a bad moment... We arrived as a party of 6 and one baby, and they tried to seat us at a 4 top. Weird, no. Ok, ordering. My friend ordered the eggs Benedict (listed on the menu) and the waiter said they only serve that on weekends, which it wasn't. It doesn't say that anywhere on the menu and it's mixed in with other menu items. He said he could see if he could do it. Weird. I asked if the turkey sausage came in links or patties and after glancing at all the other tables he said he had no clue. I ordered it anyways and they brought regular sausage, which I figured out after taking a bite. Ugh. THEN, we had the baby carrier on our 7th chair (they knew we were a party of 7 when we sat down) and half way during our breakfast, they came and said they needed the chair and could the baby please sit on the floor? Seriously?? So rude. All in all, not a good experience. One star because the food was fine (and yelp doesn't let you give 0).
(1)Danielle L.
This place is so gross! They brought our food with a hair in it and then didn't even comp the meal off the bill. Terrible etiquette and customer service. How could you charge someone for food with a hair in it?! So unsanitary. Definitely will not be back.
(1)Jocelyn P.
I love the food here. And the furniture. And the drinks. And the staff...it's just a little pricey but it's coconut grove so thats to be expected. We come here for birthday dinners with friends because it's close and delicious, and when you arder a birthday dessert you get a giant firecracker roman candle thing. Sparks everywhere. Once had someone try to blow it out and shot sparks across the table... not a wise choice but made for quite the awesome photo. The staff is really friendly and accommodating, and the place is packed all day. The bar is really well stocked too. Highly recommend any pasta dish here. I love the chicken fettuccine alfredo here.
(4)Keith P.
By far, one of the best breakfast places I have ever been to in Miami! My friend and I have been whenever we want to get breakfast, and their food is definitely a good way to start your day! I highly recommend that you try their spinach and feta omelette (it's my favorite) together with their breakfast potatoes-- amazingly crisp! Are you looking to satisfy your sweet tooth? Order Steve's Banana pancakes! They are huge and half an order should be a good meal, but if you are extremely hungry get the full order. I think it is one of my more favorite breakfast nooks because they offer you outdoor seating which faces the Grove-- good scenery!
(4)Adalberto M.
Phantameo!! A.k.a. Overrated. GreenStreet Cafe is a staple of Coconut Grove, it is considered one of the known restaurants in this town. Naturally, this place has its clientele and really doesn't need to lure people in. Expect the service to be meh. Waiters wearing nothing but black, with a chip on their shoulder just because they believe their in the "it" spot. Food is also meh. Seriously overpriced for a burger, pizza, or any other food you can probably make yourself. In short, this place is ONLY good for people watching. Expect them dressed in all sorts of ways from shorts & flip flops to high heels & dresses. Although owned by the same company, I'd much rather go next door to Lulu's.
(2)Kristen S.
Good ole Greenstreet! Never, ever ceases to please a hungry soul. Whether it be breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or late-night eats, Greenstreet hits the spot. It really is my got-to place when I get hungry at odd hours since they are basically open all day and night. I honestly can't recall having a bad meal there, ever.
(5)Grant P.
Green Street is one of those places that garners this reaction: Friend: "Let's go to Green Street." You: "OMG YES!!!" The food is great, the atmosphere of a sidewalk cafe doesn't really get much better, and the drinks are good too. This place is great for any meal. A quiet lunch, a nice dinner with friends, a night cap at the bar, or a Sunday Brunch--you could even do all of that in the same 24 hour period if you wanted.
(5)Agatha C.
There is better brunch out there. If you're looking for location, they have better places out there. If you're looking for food or unlimited mimosas, you can check out another place too.. The drinks were expensive, the brunch was old and burnt. I don't get it?
(2)Maria M.
My bf and I eat here at least once a week. Great food, ambiance and people watching. Chelsea is the best she always takes great care of us. My favorite restaurant in Coconut Grove.
(5)H. D.
I don't want to be mean but the people that worked here seemed like spaced out zombies that had no clue. The host was arrogant. Our waiter didn't know anything that we were inquiring about and served us a soup that had heavy cream in it when we specifically stated that if the soup had heavy cream in it we didn't want it.... My omelette was disgusting and the potatoes on the side were like rubber. Very disappointed in this place.
(1)Martha S.
Out of all the overpriced and overrated places to eat at in the grove, I find myself having a hard time staying away from here. I guess that must mean this place isn't overrated. Every morning when it is time to eat breakfast, my mind taunts me with memories of the deliciously scrumptious chocolate french toast. Since they only serve it on the weekends, and I work some weekends, I can only get this occasionally! Maybe it is for the best, because if not, I might look quite a bit different with a daily dose of chocolate french toast. Let me tell you about the french toast: Big slices of bread, with a delightfully flavored, custardy center surrounded by perfectly crisped edges. You know--that perfect crisp only rivaled by french toast sticks at a fast food place. All this perfection is presented with a dallop of the most incredible chocolate spread, holding slices of the toast together. Top this with a little natural maple syrup---and you have mouth heaven. If you aren't drooling by now, I don't know what to tell you. Try it out, and just see if you can keep yourself from thinking about every morning. For those that don't have as strong of a sweet tooth as me, there are other more savory options. The bagels are good, and I head they get them fresh from the aptly named outrageous bagels. The breakfast plates are all good. I've tried the caviar, lox, and salsa omlettes, and they never dissapoint (as long as I get my french toast fix). This has to be my favorite place in the grove. Take out is OK, but, the restaurant has some nice outdoor seating, as well as interesting looking indoor decor.
(5)Karla R.
INCREDIBLE! probably the most delicious brunch of my life. me and the hubby had eggs, bacon, toast, potatoes, and red velvet pancakes. everything was perfect, I have absolutely no complaints. will definitely come back for more!
(5)Cassie G.
Atmosphere is definitely what makes GreenStreet a great spot. The outdoor seating is prime people watching territory and a great way to relax after a long day in the office or to chit chat with a friend over breakfast or lunch. Everything I have tried from the guacamole to salmon salad to penne pasta is great and always tastes fresh and light. Despite all the full tables, the service was quick and attentive, unlike a lot of the other restaurant service found in the grove. From reading other reviews, it seems like they have great brunch so I will have to go check that soon.
(4)J R.
Great food. Service is speedy. Can see why it is packed on weekends. Get there early for seating.
(4)Sabrina L.
After taking our cute dogs to the park, we decided to stop by this restaurant. Loved the couches , very original idea. The atmosphere is so Miami...laid back...nice breeze...yummy food! Pros: happy hour from 5-7 girls drink free champagne! Extensive menu with good Vegetarian options! Fresh water for our pets! double plus!!! Service so nice and friendly! Menu items tried: Fish wrap with french fries, Goat cheese Salad and Goat cheese pizza. All three choices were really good..or so everyone said. My wrap was just right, tasted fresh and was just the right amount. Overall, a great evening! I gotta start hanging out in the Grove more often.

In Miami's Coconut Grove village for four days, we couldn't help noticing that this place was almost always crowded. That seemed to be a review in itself, so we took a chance for brunch one weekend morning, despite some not-so-promising customer experiences posted here on Yelp. Well, meh. I had to send my eggs back twice (runny whites), and my sausage back once (ordered pork, got turkey), but the waitress was charming and sincere. So, OK. But nothing was wonderful, not even the hot chocolate or the OJ. Husband had some lox that was "fine." Portions were unremarkable; prices a bit high for what is offered. The location is great, and the seating arrangements -- spilling up and down two intersecting sidewalks -- is generous and inviting for eating al fresco,. If only the food and the presentation were better. It's hard to have a good restaurant if the food is only "meh," even with other strong attributes.

Awesome brunch, wait and be rewarded on sundays. Drink some coffee or a mimosa and relax while you wait.

Greenstreet: a nice introduction for brunch and people watching in Miami. The ambiance sets up for people watching during brunch or late evening when folks are ramping up to party. Upon the recommendation of a friend, we decided to hit this place up for brunch. We tickled our palette with an Herb Tomato Omelet, a stack of cakes, some Chocolate French Toast, satisfying OJ, and the obvious Cuban Coffee. Not being from Florida (let alone Miami), it was great to enjoy brunch in a chill environment. Our waitress did forget a few items, but a friendly reminder remedied the situation. The chocolate french toast combined with the cuban coffee (espresso) made for a great filler. I was highly impressed with the Dyson Hand Dryer ... the only location I've seen this in is Virgin America Terminals. If Greenstreet's attention to detail reaches the bathrooms, you know you have a great establishment.

If you like to people watch in Miami, and you like to do it with REAL Miamians surrounded by REAL latinas, latinos, northeast transplants while sipping on good drinks in a breezy setting in cozy Coconut Grove, come here. Get drinks you are familiar with, they make um good and strong. Sit outside in their comfy seats and just enjoy it. Early evening is nice. That's it.

This joint is a home run for great people watching in the Grove. The martinis are epic, so are the bloody mary's. I only had a cheese and bread sampler plate here this trip and it was fab.

It's been a couple of years since I have found this restaurant. I love breakfast there. To seat outside early in the morning, with a French baguette (not super easy to find in Miami), some eggs and a cappuccino will get you the feeling you are in right place in the right time. I love to start my Fridays like this. On the weekend the place is full, so it's worth showing up early. The egg plates are big and the fruit one too. One time I had to make some arrangements and ended up meeting the manager who impressed me with his positive can-do attitude. All and all one of my favorite breakfast and brunch places in Miami.

Just an alright place despite the location and great outdoor seating. We came by for a drink and a snack. Their mojito was average by regular standards but in south Florida I would hope for more. We originally want their chorizo pizza to share, but the waitress said they were out of chorizo. She said they were doing pepperoni instead, "which is the same as choizo". That is just sacrilegious to say to any customer. They are nothing alike! Instead we ordered their "classic margarita" pizza. Unfortunately, that apparently meant a cheese pizza. We were expecting fresh mozzarella and basil. We got dried up basil flakes and a just shreaded mozzarella. The other big issue we had was when we found out from the table next to us that they had half off bottles of wine. For some reason the waitress failed to mention that to us. Well hopefully your experience goes better than ours!

I've been here countless times, all good experiences. If you haven't been to Greenstreet then you haven't really seen the Grove. It's a Grove staple as many places have come and gone over the years and this one seems to have that certain "je ne sais quoi" that has kept it open and thriving over the years. This place has great outdoor seating, very friendly servers, one of the best breakfasts in town, and a full bar. Noteworthy items on the menu are the: banana pancakes, French toast, lamburger,and fig salad. You really can't go wrong... they must be doing something right!
(4)Jordan K.
As a bar, Greenstreet is good with plenty of outdoor seating for great people watching in coconut grove. Other than the nightly specials and happy hour though, you will not leave with a small tab unless you know the owner (which half of the people who go there do). As a restaurant, Greenstreet has its moments, i.e. sunday breakfast/brunch. Otherwise it is just so-so in the food department though i do like the lamburger and goat cheese salad. We're all ready and waiting for the revival of Coconut Grove as a popular hangout spot in Miami so that new and better places can usurp Greenstreet from the top of the list of bars in the Grove. The fact that tesame guy opened a nearly identical restaurant across the street makes me less inclined to go to either for some reason.
(3)Tori S.
Loved the lobster ravioli!! And, great spot for people watching Bathrooms were a little gross
(4)Heather B.
The food was okay but way over priced. While we were eating there was a big roach that ran across the wall right in front of us. We informed them about it and they killed it over top of our table. Nasty! The bathrooms were nasty. They made us split the bill on our own, taking us forever to find who got what. The tip says optional but the guy came back and said that it may say it but it's not optional at all. So at this point we just wanted to get out of this place.
(1)Brett H.
I am tempted to give this place 5 stars but I've only been here once...so far. A great spot in Coconut grove with plenty of outdoor seating. It was breakfast time so I ordered some french toast and oj. It was really good. Wasn't able to finish it so don't worry about getting small portions. The service was also really good. The guy recognized that I was in a bit of a rush and didn't forget about me. A must go.
(4)Alison M.
GreenStreet Cafe is one of those places that are good, but that you forget about because there's nothing really enticing you to coming back. For example the food was fresh, portions were pretty decent, and prices weren't too high, but nothing I tried stuck out as being incredible. I ordered the mushroom tagliatelle, which was very tasty, but also incredibly rich. Everyone else at my table had pasta or a salad. Again I think everyone was satisfied, but not blown away. The ambiance was nice. I love eating outside, but they lit ticki torches at one point and the wind started blowing smoke at our table. The really one good thing I liked about GreenStreet Cafe was our waiter. He was pretty funny. As a whole, I think I'd come back to GreenStreet if I was in the area and was at a loss of where to eat, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.
(3)Cara A.
I would say good but not great. Had the cinnamon roll pancakes and everything was good, as expected. My husband had an omelet and said it was dry and a little burned. It is a good location and easy to find.
(3)Elizabeth S.
I've obviously been here a number of times since my initial review. We've made it a regular weekend brunch place because I'm in love with their Bloody Mary's and I think they do have a great breakfast. The docked star is for inconsistencies in both their food and service. Although I've yet to have a bad order of Eggs Benedict here, their Omelets seem to suffer a different fate. They often come out looking like they've spent a little too long on the griddle, but are pretty tasty nonetheless to those of you who may not mind a little browning on your eggs. Service is pretty inconsistent, especially on weekdays when they seem to be understaffed, you can end up being seated fairly quickly only to wait 40 minutes for your actual food to come out. I've had the same experience with dinner when ordering a salad and a pizza, only to wait for an hour to get my food. Considering the downfalls I listed in my review, more often than not, the servers are very friendly and polite and they can't really help the understaffed kitchen. The food is also pretty decent when the eggs aren't brown (as Andy said, these are attributed to Chickens with brown ears) and the benedict never disappoint.

I LOVE MIAMI! and GreenStreet Cafe just adds to the love. Located in the beautiful Coconut Grove neighborhood, GreenStreet Cafe offers indoor and outdoor seating. We went here for breakfast and chose to sit outside because of the great weather and inviting atmosphere. The breakfast menu has a unique variety of pancakes, french toast, and egg selections. It was so hard to choose! My husband and I couldn't decide between sweet and savory, so we ended up to sharing. He selected red velvet pancakes and I got scramble eggs with onions and nova, home fried potatoes, and whole grain toast. Both were outstanding in their own way, and needless to say there were no leftovers. This restaurant is dog friendly, so if you have a furry friend, bring them along for the experience. We will definitely be going back next time we road trip down to Miami to try lunch!
(5)Daniel Q.
This is one of the best places I went to on my trip. Our experience was definitely not typical, but showcased the cafe at it's finest. I almost want to give it that 5th star, but can't quite. We came on a Sunday morning, slightly overcast. It was pretty sunny, so we elected for an outside table. It was about a 25 minute wait. Next time I'll use yelp to reserve ahead. We got seated at a place way too small for our group. That was a ding against them. They put together another table quickly and sat us down with more room. Generally the drinks and breakfasts in general were well received. Orders were Red Ladies, Mimosas, Bellinis, eggs and caviar, eggs benedict, fruit salad, omelet, muffins, bagels, and a few other things I can't recall. There was nothing that was less then well made. It began raining partway through. It was uncomfortable at first, but then the heavens came down, and it was soaked all over. The waiters scrambled to get everyone inside. We ended up soaked, but we were already finished with our food. They comp our meal anyway, but we really wanted to pay. Everything was outstanding, the service was great, and I generally don't hold places accountable for acts of nature. The fact they comped the meal was very professional, a sign of a place that values customers. I know not everyone will have our experience, but I would recommend, and I will come back next time I am in town.
(4)Danielle S.
We came here as our last stop on our bar/restauarant crawl in Coconut Grove. What attracted us there were these red couches that you can lounge on outside right by the street. They had (fake) candles lit up so it was very romantic/intimate. They also had music in the background. The staff was very friendly. They also had a great late night menu that we ordered from. We all got a few Blue Moons and a pizza that was pretty good. Could have been a bit crispier but overall was very yummy. It was a great place for a last stop to sit and chat and enjoy the outdoors!
(4)Rebecca C.
I absolutely loved and adored the food and location. They are central to the Grove, have such great people watching, and cute royalty chairs to sit on outside. The menu is splattered with goat cheese, Yum! I ordered the goat cheese pizza, my friend the goat cheese salad. The pizza was one of the best I've had yet and even better as leftovers. However, they lost a star for a few minor reasons: nothing on the menu was under $15, which seems high even for the Grove to me and I wish the happy hour had more, not just free champagne for ladies on Fridays. Overall, the best part of GreenStreet: they are pet friendly and vegetarian friendly.
(4)Marty C.
Finally got around to going to Greenstreet and was not disappointed. Service was excellent food (omelets) was solid and the people watching is great. Really a perfect place for outdoor dining now that the weather is turning. Added entertainment by watching passing traffic perform the infamous stunts so typical of Miami drivers.
(4)Adriana J.
I can get why people come here during the day--food isn't too shabby (yummy breakfast options, better than lunch in my opinion) and my favorite part: dogs are welcome. But why it's so packed at night is beyond me. Don't get me wrong--the vibe is kinda cool with its wicker chairs and loungey feel but overall? There's nothing too special about it and the cocktails are pretty mean on your wallet. Between sitting indoor and outdoor, opt for outdoor because it is nicer and again, if there's pups around, you get breakfast AND aw-factor.
(3)Lauren C.
Nice atmosphere. Food is average at best. Boring menu. "Jamaican" wings did not have the slightest hint of flavor. Go to LuLu for food and Green Street for drinks. It's too bad they can't walk the drinks across the street to LuLu.

**4 1/2 Stars ** Truth is- I have always wanted to hate GreenStreet. Whether it's the anti-establishment part of me that is irked by the massive amounts of people that either check-in here or present it as the Grove/Gables brunch place to see or be seen OR the reason for my deduction of 1/2 a star- the not-so-spectacular lunch/dinner menu. I have always very confidently marched right past GreenStreet each and every Sunday morning towards Calamari where I would happily enjoy their fantastic brunch buffet. Here's the thing- I diet 6 days a week and eventually the stuffing my face at Calamari on Sundays was beginning to catch up to me. So what to do?!!? I'm a brunch-loving girl and needed a new place to sit outside and enjoy my most favorite Sunday pastime where I don't gorge myself like a pig! So the next Sunday I reluctantly give my name to the hostess and was actually pleasantly surprised when the wait I was quoted was 20 min or less! Considering the crowd gathered that was a huge win. The host stand is excellently ran at GS and both this visit and subsequent visits, I have been seated quickly and always within my quoted wait time- which I very much appreciate. So now that I'm seated we will get on to the service and the food. The service is IMPECCABLE. The servers have always been incredibly attentive and accommodating to my picky palate. The food for Brunch is very good- My personal faves are the Lox Platter with a Multi-Grain bagel and either the Scrambled Eggs (sub egg-whites) with Caviar or with Lox and Onion. Yum!! Get them to replace the potatoes that come with the Scrambled eggs with Grits with American Cheese--Double YUM!!! Also bonus points for having a variety of interesting and potent Brunch beverages aside from the traditional and boring Mimosa and Bloody Mary. With that being said- if you aren't going to GS for Brunch then I would be wary as the other menus aren't bad but they are just average. You won't be in for the great experience above. So in conclusion, I am proud to say that I have very much repented from my GreenStreet Brunch hating ways into a loyal GreenStreet Groupie.
(4)Alex S.
Good food and people watching in the grove. Great location. We went for dinner and had a great time. Looking forward to trying the brunch.
(4)Michael H.
Average food, huge portions, sidewalk seating, lackadaisical service. Not a bad place just not a great place.
(3)Fran E.
The best thing about this place is the location and their ample outdoor seating. It's quite nice to sit outside on a cool day people-watching on Main. I imagine it'd be nice to have brunch there but I've only been for lunch and drinks/apps. Their tuna tataki and flatbreads are light and flavorful, but I'd steer clear of the more fatty dishes like their truffle fries which come out soggy and dense. The service is ok- they tend to lurk around the tables but don't actually interact much with guests.
(3)Michael M.
I've been a yelp member for a long time and have never felt the need to write a review until today. It dawned on me today that I've gone to way to many restaurants lately and have not been satisfied with the service I've received. Dwight was my server at greenstreet tonight and made me feel at home. So much so, that before leaving I said these exact words "Dwight, you are the best server I've had in a long time". Everyone in Miami knows greenstreet has reliably great food, but Dwight made the evening extra special. I will always request him as our server. I'm sure the rest of the servers are great as well, but this is just an experience I wanted to share because it deserved recognition. If you ever see this Dwight, thank for sharing your personal homemade snickers with us!!

Too bad your hostess is so bad, Green Street. I was out with my mom, and we were looking for a place we hadn't tried before. Green Street looked interesting. The hostess and 2 waitresses were crowded up at the podium/hostess stand. We stood. And waited. We picked up a menu and started looking at it. Meanwhile, the hostess and the 2 waitresses stood there giggling and discussing guys -- seriously, that's what they were discussing. After probably 2 minutes of looking at the menu, my mom said, "Well, we're not going to get acknowledged, let's check out the Indian place down the block." WHOA! All of a sudden the hostess is asking to seat us, how many in our party, we have room, don't go. . . I politely responded, "No thank you. . . gracias." Then, as we're walking away, I hear the hostess make a nasty dig about my responding in Spanish. No, sweetheart, it's not that I don't think you can speak English -- I don't think you can do your job and should be fired, along with the 2 cackling waitresses that are more interested in discussing their dates than doing their job. AVOID. And for the record, my Spanish is just fine.
(1)Michell D.
This is my favorite restaurant in Miami... period. Maybe it is because I have been going here with my family since I was a tot and all the memories I have there. The food is delicious whether you are ordering breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Its really good! My favorite things to order there are ANY of their pancakes, watermelon lemonade, and their Ceasar salad with sliced jerked chicken. They have the BEST Ceasar salad that I've ever tried in Miami.. Its a really popular place so if you are a large group or are going during their happy hour and pretty much any meal time during the wkend.. expect a 30min-1hr wait for a table. If you can, go on a random Tuesday for any meal of the day to get a great experience..
(4)Alex F.
Goat Cheese Lamb Burger. That's all you need to know. Seriously though, it's one mean burger. And will leave you craving for more. The staff at Green Street is always friendly. On weekends, the place does get busy, so prepare to wait if you come here for brunch.
(4)Heidi M.
Love it for Brunch! GREAT Eggs Benedict and pancakes the size of 9 inch plates! The breakfast potatoes are crispy fried and delicious! The lunch and dinner menus are also good :)
(5)Carlos H.
one of the best places in Miami to get a lamb plate whether it's for lunch or dinner. The Lamburger w/ goat cheese is one of the best burgers Ive ever eaten, when I go for lunch that's what I usually get. For dinner, the lamb chops with brussel sprouts is a must try. For appetizer my norm is flatbread with tomato and goat cheese, my kids love it too. I go to GreenStreet Cafe often, the best waiters are Zac and Dwight, I usually ask for either or, they are both on top of their game. Best thing is especially being a Miami Heat fan is seeing Lebron James or Erik Spoelstra and the coaching staff which I have seen a couple good times in the past dining! GreenStreet Cafe is a must if your in Coconut Grove and top 5 restaurants in Miami, for quality and bang for your buck.
(5)Jennifer T.
Great food, location, and service, cant really think of anything negative to say, would likely give this 4.5 stars, only because the food was delicious, but wasnt wow, but still a great and tasty meal! SEATING: Relaxing place to have a meal or a couple of drinks with a small group of friends. They have both outdoor or indoor seating, with either regular tables or velvet couches to sit on. The outdoor seating was nice but table was rather small, but still managed to fit all 4 of our entrees though. STAFF: The waiter was very attentive as well as helpful with recommendations. He even picked up when we mentioned it was my hubby's birthday and put in a surprise for him without us requesting it, which was super nice of him. DRINKS: My hubby has been on a quest to find a good mojito for quite sometime, and always ends up disappointed, but not here, he was really pleased with his mojito here! They also have Happy Hour twice a day, and different specials for each day (e.g., Monday, it was 1/2 off bottles of wine). APPETIZERS: We got the fried calamari which was the perfect combination of crispy but not heavy or greasy feeling. ENTREES: We each got one of the day's specials as well as a salad. The prices were a bit high, but not outrageous ($16-23), with the quality of the meals well worth the price range. We shared a goat cheese salad, which came with fried goat cheese, it was a good dish to share rather than as a single person's meal. I got the New Zealand lamb, which was very tender, well-seasoned and flavorful without being too salty, and paired well with their mashed potatoes. My husband got the NY steak, which was also very tender and flavorful but wasnt too bloody, which was perfect. Lastly, we got the lobster ravioli, which I thought was a reasonable price ($16), comparable to new england restaurants for a similar dish. It came in a creamy pink sauce that wasnt overly rich. LOCATION: The location looked really fun too, definitely want to come back again to check out all the various shops around!
(5)Sarah C.
I went here to eat on a Friday night with my boyfriend. We were seated right away and thankfully the weather was nice outside. As a mushroom lover, I ordered the Mushroom Triangoli and was pleasantly surprised! So delicious! My boyfriend had the Lamburger, one of his all-time favorites. What made everything perfect was our waiter, Zac. He was so funny, friendly an on top of things and made our experience that much better! We will definitely ask for him in the future.
(5)Lena C.
I don't spend a lot of time in the Grove, so was glad to discover a GreenStreet with some friends. It was very nice to able to walk into a bar and get a table outside at 10PM on a Saturday night. We mostly had drinks, so I'll have to update the review after trying more menu options. We ordered in time for the dinner menu. I think they start the late night menu around 11, but time gets hazy after our veggie pizza and cocktails. As you may imagine from my previous sentence, the drinks were poured well and our server was really attentive (and friendly).
(4)Christine H.
Great drinks. Great service. Our waitress , Chelsea , takes the best care of us. She always knows our order and has a smile on her face. We only like to sit in her section because the service is unbeatable. She is always on top of it and takes amazing care of us. I strongly recommend. Ask for Chelsea. You won't be sorry.
(5)Rachel P.
Pet friendly Great food A little on the pricey side Good for people watching Long waits on Sunday for brunch, so go early..
(4)Carolina H.
Been going here since I was a kid. Great Sunday brunch. Fabulous ambiance. Great for families. Dog-friendly. A place to go when you have the time to sit back and relax on a beautiful weekend afternoon. Perfect location for Grove residents (if you are not a Grove resident, I assume it would be difficult to find parking :-/ ).
(5)Myriam V.
Good flat bread and martinis. This is as much as I remember regarding the food. What I can't forget is that when I went to the bathroom there was someone drunk in the womans restroom, and the place was a mess, I think the manager and security were trying to take him out. Maybe the martinis are too strong for some people. Overall I would love to come back, very nice environment besides the WC event
(4)Michael C.
Love the inside ambiance and outside seating. Food is fine, however pretension billows throughout the place. I live in the neighborhood, if I didn't I'd skip this place, however since I'm here I have enjoyed it on rare occasions. I prefer several other grove breakfast spots alot more.
(3)Claudio L.
Waiting with 4 people for a table for 15 mins, got a text that my table was ready. As I approach the hostess, someone arrives with 5 peole, they give my table for that person right away because they had a 5 people table ready, then they kept me waiting for another 5 min and offered me a table in the sun or wait another 5 mins. I decided not to wait and not to come back.
(1)Sarah C.
Best brunch in South Miami, great people watching and love the mimosas!
(4)Julio G.
I went here. Was "a-ok" which in my book means that I paid for food but did not love it. Its hot there. Our waiter ignored us. The tuna was good, but our cheese plate was kind of melting while we were trying to eat it.
(3)Sergio M.
Casual chic with plenty of outdoor seating and an extensive tapas and drinks menu. Great place for Happy Hour and just chilling....
(4)Milli M.
This is my favorite place to have breakfast in all Miami! Try the spinach and feta omelet and the French toast!! It's a must if you are in the Grove!
(5)Brett S.
The ambiance is above par, cuisine when prepared and delivered as ordered is quite delicious, service is not consistent. I have been here numerous times and have had a vastly different experience each time. Twice for brunch the server was changed mid shift which caused my party's order to be forgotten. A few times service has been exceptional and the kitchen doesn't prepare the meat the right temperature. If the balance between service and food preparation was in sync this place could be a 10.
(3)Gayle M.
The service was really a pleasure. I made a menu observation to the waiter, which could be construed as a complaint. What impressed me was the excellent way in which this was handled by the waiter, Dwight and Manager, Sean. Absolute professionals with their first-rate customer service. They both remained calm and pleasant throughout our discussion with no defensiveness. The food was very good -- I had the smoked dolphin with mashed potatoes (potatoes were great !). Oh yes, the flatbread was a light and tasty "pizza-like" concoction; light on the cheese with caramelized onions that made it delish ! I have gone to GreenStreet for years and always pleased with service and food. Glad they're still around.
(4)Ian G.
***WARNING - POSSIBLE TRIGGERS AHEAD*** Came here for lunch the other day and was scanning over the menu wondering what to get. Then I saw IT, one of the worst triggers I could ever encounter, and all of a sudden was transported back to my own personal hell. I was surrounded by a massive crowd of people tossing their hideous "boo's" and jeers and cat-calls my way. The shame was intense. The feelings, dreadful. I started shaking like a leaf (yeah, my leaves shake, that's right). My palms grew sweaty and clammy and I grasped blindly for the linen napkin. My boss looked across the table to me and said "What the hell, Ian?" I stabbed my finger toward the menu and mouthed two words: "Chicken Tetrazzini." You see, I am no stranger to the day-time tabloid talk show, and the reference brought me back to that horrible day when I was tricked by my girlfriend, my mistress, my ex-wife and my incestuous cousin (I only did that once, geez, lay off with the judgment) who all happened to be pregnant with my bastard love-children into appearing on the Laura show. I thought I was going for a job interview but was instead led onstage to an ambush. It was horrible. I was held down in a chair by two beefy Mexican-looking fellows and slapped repeatedly. Unable to physically defend myself I could only shake my head and weakly mutter "aye dios, por favor el culo." I was suddenly stirred from my miserable memories by the waiter dropping some warm bread off at our table. I looked up and stared directly into his beady eyes and with only one small quiver of my lower lip stated "I'll have the chicken tetrazzini." My friends, it was fabulous. Have you guys ever had chicken tetrazzini before? That's some good shizz.
(4)Arnaud S.
Yay! I am a fan, that summarizes it pretty much. While hanging out in one of my favorite area in Miami (Coconut Grove), we made our way to this place for a light, middle of the day lunch; recommended by a friend. Parking is fairly easy on-street and there are a lot of outdoor seating. I had the salmon salad with was great. It is hard to give me a culinary orgasm (pardon my french) with a salad but at the same time it is very easy to make an horrible one. All green produce were fresh and organic while the salmon was also very high quality and cook to perfection. I like mine very grilled on the outside and pink/rare on the inside. This hits the spot. Add to that beautiful and trendy people walking around, friendly staff and good ambiance. That's about all the ingredients you need for a wonderful lunch.
(4)Christine P.
In the memory book of my life, GreenStreet is in the chapter filled with blurry nights and alcohol. I'd never really tried this place in the daylight, and much less sampled it's food. I had always heard that brunch here was a must-try... so this Sunday, I tried it. We were a group of 5.5 (a small dog was involved) and we were seated in about 20 minutes after meeting at 12:30p - which was surprising because I heard the wait can be a pain. Ordered the standard mimosas while waiting in the big red velvet couches along the sidewalk. Brunch was banana chocolate pancakes. Go ahead and sing along to the Jack Johnson song - because that's how happy it made me. Service was great - we were never rushed, and they didn't mind splitting the check 5 ways. It was a very leisurely afternoon, in the shade but still enjoying the beautiful weather. Glad to add GreenStreet to a more grown-up chapter in my life. :)
(4)Maria A.
They say pride is hard to swallow but disappointment has much more lasting and unappealing aftertaste. And that's what I got served at Green Street a big old portion of disappointment to go along with my duck salad and Mediterranean plate appetizer. I recently came for lunch but I was sadly surprised to find the menu has changed and not for the best. Some familiar favorites are gone and in their places there seems to be nothing. These changes have more than ever before cemented Green Street as a place for cocktails and mediocre food.
(3)Laura S.
Greenstreet Cafe is fantastic! Four of us went last night for dinner. The service was very attentive and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the pesto ravioli, which I loved. My entire party raved about their entrees. The decor is also fabulous, they have red velvet loveseats, inside and out. I will be returning to Greenstreet Cafe as soon as possible.
(5)Karen C.
Banana Pancakes...fabulous!!! The ambiance and the food are great! Try a grove goddess...
(4)Elizabeth M.
I had lunch here yesterday... and dinner...as well as brunch a couple of weeks ago and the verdict is in. Don't come here unless it's for drinks, brunch or want to people watch! The food is just blah. I've never been happy with any meal other than breakfast. The banana chocolate pancakes hit the spot. The potatoes are great and eggs with jerk spice - tasty. If you decide to stop by on a weekend for brunch, don't show up hungry! Everyone in town comes here for breakfast/brunch and there's always a long wait. So put your name on the list and go for a stroll or order a Bloody Mary, sit on one of their comfy couches and sip... Slowly.
(2)AshleyMarie O.
I love the location first of all. Right on a busy corner in the Grove you see all these red velvet couches and cute little lamps, it looks so inviting! I usually go for drinks but the other day I went for lunch and was actually impressed. We sat at the outside bar and I split a salad (added chicken) with my girlfriend and it filled us both up and we were quite pleased! They didn't charge for extra tomato's or extra dressing (gotta appreciate that now-a-days!) It was the Mesclun Endive Salad which has apples and ohh its just too good to pass up! I had no idea this would prove to be a good spot to dine, but now I must try it for dinner :0)
(4)Celia M.
One of my favorite places to have breakfast by far! Not only is it around ten minutes from my house but they always have a table ready and I've never had to wait. Definitely try Steve's Banana Pancakes, and any of their breakfast platters with their small, yet fulfilling potatoes, and toast. The staff is always accommodating and friendly. Although the Grove is resting in peace due to the influx of Midtown and Brickell, this place is always oozing with locals and tourists. It's a big hit in my book!

I wish there was a - star. It wasn't my choice to eat at this restaurant. I want to let you all know how this place is run. I'm happy that they're all honest, but their honesty just upset me. I will never go back to Green Street on a Sunday. Actually,I may never go back. We waited for over and hour and half for Sunday brunch. The hostess walked us to our table and realized that her manager had just sat people at our table. She explains what happened. The manager gave our table away to customers that dine there often. Apparently he was instructed by the owner to seat weekly customers first. Really?? This is the worst customer service. He should have lied. It may have been better. He tried to backpedal by offering us 50% off our bill and we would have to wait for the next 6 person table. Well.. He's has lost our business and we take our party of 6 to Lulu's. There wasn't a wait, the food is amazing and the service was wonderful. Thanks to our server Christina and the servers that made sure our coffee and water was always filled to the top. GreenStreet- get a need a new manager and tell your owner how business should be done. Btw, I won't be dining at either of these restaurants again. GreenStreet and Lulu's are the same owner. Never again! I'm disgusted with the way they handle customers.

I could sit here all day...the food is always good, the drinks are always spot-on. If I'm gonna do an entree, it's gonna be their salmon salad for lunch/dinner...brunch: eggs benedict - hands down. They have mimosa options that make my heart sing - anything with St. Germain in it makes me a happy girl, so gimme a Heavenly Street at my outdoor brunch table and I'm set. I'm all about people watching, and that corner is PERFECT for it.

My approach to this place is cautious enthusiasm, riding the coat tails of an excellent location, the have capitalized by making the place unique. Lazy Sunday afternoons in glorious Miami weather are priceless and usually very enjoyable here - the locals never dissapoint providing and endless source of entertainment, just watching them is pretty amusing in itself. Green Street - please don't let your popularity go to your head - good old fashioned customer service never goes out of style no matter how "hot" you are - but sometimes we encounter the informal server who feels insecure about their chosen mean to earn a living and in turn project it to the patrons.... Wrong ! I'll keep coming and updating the reviews so... we'll see... for now - 4 stars is appropriate reward for good food, and good location, oh yeah and reasonable prices in tourist trap coconut grove.

Good brunch and happy hour, terrible everything else. Unless its Whiskey Wednesday, Vodka Thursday or FREE champagne for ladies on Fridays then I won't go. You will see the occasional athlete here (definitely belonging to the Heat franchise) but the tables are so smooshed together that you'll only catch a glimpse from afar. The service is pretty slow and the drinks are pretty pricey but go for HH and you won't be disappointed.

I've been here for breakfast before which is REALLY good but also overpriced for what it is. I went here last night for drinks for the first time which were also way overpriced. The atmosphere is really cool with the giant sofas outside and dim lighting, The only reason I gave it a 3 and not a 4 was because how much they overcharge. I guess if you went here to drink happy hour would be a must. On Wednesday Nights they have a Johnnie Walker promotion: Black $4.50 Gold $7 Green $8 Blue $16

OMG. I had such high hopes for this restaurant-- the ambiance upon arrival is fantastic- the outdoor patio and such....and I had heard the food was very good. That said, suffice it to say I experienced truly some of the worst service EVER in my life here. I second what J.D. wrote when he/she said the people working there are like zombies. Truly. Our waitress had the personality of a plate. It took probably 10 minutes to get our drink order. One person in our party had arrived before us- she is pregnant and had asked for a certain soup to be brought out ASAP because she was feeling nauseous. After we arrived, it took another 10 minutes for her soup to arrive and......drumroll please.....it was cold!!! I took the soup up to the Droids working the front desk, told them what happened and it was as if I said, "hello. the sky is blue." NO REACTION. Probably no pulse. There appeared to be a "manager" figure walking around chumming it up with all the wait-staff-- a guy in a suit who appeared to be about 25 and clearly thinking he's the Ultimate Ladies Man. He never visited our table with all the problems we had. It seriously took over 45 minutes for our food to arrive and every time we asked our Stepford Waitress a question, she looked like she was lapsing into a coma. It PAINED me to leave her a tip. What a horrible joke of a restaurant. ;-(
(1)Melinda J.
First time visit - disappointed with Rebecca's service. Never introduced herself. Gave someone else the meal ticket to process / four people at the table only catered to one guest at our table. great location. Going to try again with another server and see if it was just a bad day..
(1)Crystal Z.
After so many people telling me to try Greenstreet, I finally visited. And all I can say it... It was just ok. There's nothing special about the brunch here. The food took forever, the restaurant is really crowded and uncomfortable. Just wasn't what I expected for such a popular place.
(3)Chimichanga C.
This place is def a relaxing chill spot in coconut grove. I'm really a fan of those mod cool vintage red couches outside and the seating. This place is a chill atmosphere and always a good time! I've tried a few appetizers the hummus and some others.. it's decent food... Wed nights they have whiskey nights. It's Great to come with a group of friends on a relaxing night. Also, monday nights its half off bottle of wines which is a super good deal great idea for a date!! Out of all the spots in the grove this is def one of my fav places... :)
(4)Nicole C.
What better way to start your Sunday than with a bubbly brunch? A low key, outdoor/indoor cafe, this popular place is the go-to spot for brunch on the weekends. Adorned with funky chandeliers, and plush velvet couches, this lovely locale is amongst my favorites for breakfast. The prices are fair, the food is great, and the ambiance is fantastic. Like "Cheers" its a type of place where everybody knows your name.
(4)Lester M.
I haven't been here in years but haven't forgotten how good the food is. Took advantage that I was meeting my brother at the grove to have lunch here. I had the lamb burger and he fish with rice and beans. Both things were outstanding. My burger was very savory and juicy. My brother's fish was soft and flaky and the rice and beans were very good. There is a reason why this place a big following and is one of the few places at the grove where you not onlu find turists but locals as well.
(4)Rosabel T.
Best place I been to so far. Great vibe and atmosphere. Lamb chops are amazing. Staff is awesome.
(5)Xiomara P.
Incredibly long wait... And wasn't overly impressed by their menu in any way, but what I ordered( pancakes and sausage) were really delicious
(3)Denny H.
Had dinner here on a Monday night. The environment was great. Love good outdoor dining. Had the hummus appetizer, very good considering it was just good ol' plain hummus. I had vegetable lasagna, delicious although I would have preferred less focus on the eggplant. My wife had the goat cheese pizza (and I had it again for lunch the next day) Good portions, enough for leftovers and a great place to meet up have dinner or drinks and enjoy what seems like a great little neighborhood.

Dear GreenStreet, You are the Grove staple of my life. On you, I know I can count on not to be disappointed. So when the BF said he was starving on our way home yesterday, I knew EXACTLY where I wanted to eat. The weather was absolutely beautiful yesterday and for an August afternoon there was a nice, crisp breeze. So of course, I opted to sit on one of the couches outside, facing Main Highway for the people watching. Our waitress promptly came up to us and asked us what we wanted to drink. A wine menu quickly followed and she made some great suggestions. I went with a Malbec, and the BF had a Pinot Noir. We took some time to just enjoy the wine before we even opened the menus to satisfy our grumbling stomachs. Finally, I had to order before I passed out. LOL I decided to go with the Veal Scallopinis in a Porcini mushroom sauce. At first, I was a bit taken aback, because it was not the flavor that I was expecting. I had only ever had the Veal Scallopinis at Tango's down south, and they use a Marsala sauce. So I think my palate was confused. But the more I tried it, the more delicious it became. The creamy mushroom sauce was just delectable, and the crisp, thin french fries that were served as a side were just perfect drenched in this sauce. The BF ordered the Mushroom Triangoli dish with the same Porcini mushroom sauce. They were like little blue raviolis filled with mushrooms and topped with the creamy sauce. This was very tasty as well. However, I feel like I noticed a hint of "freezer" taste to it... Maybe it was me. The BF didn't say anything. But I tasted something just slightly off... GreenStreet, you always come through. We definitely enjoyed our dinner very much and the atmosphere was just perfect. I even like your new 24 @ 24 promotion (It's 24 different bottles of wine at the price of $24/bottle). :) Great touch. Thanks for everything. Best Regards, SabrinaAnna*

I think this is becoming my new favorite brunch spot. Town is great with the $15 unlimited mimosas but the food here was outstanding. I have been before and have had the pasta which was great but this time we tried the Nutella filled French Toast which was to die for! The Grove Goddess is also delicious. There is a bit of a wait but well worth it. I love the outdoor seating and decor of the restaurant.
(4)Samaa M.
Pretty good to great food. Cinnabon pancakes are a must. The tomatoes and goat cheese omelet is also pretty great. And I hear the french toast is great from my sister. Good breakfast place for friends and families. Not intimate/romantic.
(4)Annie S.
Great environment, drink deals, and the best beet and goat cheese salad in the city! They have indoor and outdoor seating and its just lovely!
(4)Crystal L.
Great place for brunch after a hangover. Loved the French toast!
(4)Laura B.
One of my new favorite spots! We came here because of waiting a while, my boyfriend and I didn't receive any service at the restaurant across the street. & I'm glad that we did! The service was excellent and the food delicious! Definitely recomend!
(5)Aurora E.
I've been to Greenstreet with friends, but we always hang by the bar. It was only last week that I decided to have dinner there with a friend, and I have to say nomnomnom!! Datpasta.jpg It was so good! I remember looking at the menu and seeing an unrecognizable name on the list, with the ingredients "mushroom" and "a creamy sauce" (that's what she said). That's when I stopped reading and decided to order that, and ordered some chicken with it. It was amazing! The most delicious pasta I've had in a while. (I have no idea if the fact I was starving had anything to do with this). The portions were big, so I couldn't finish the whole meal. I took half with me when i went to visit a friend, and I had to have her try some (she ate the whole thing). It was that good. P.s. I found the name of the meal it was the " Mushroom Triangoli, filled with mushrooms, creamy porcini sauce" Try it, you won't regret it. (Unless you don't like mushrooms, in which case you might regret it, but then why would you even order it if you know you don't like mushrooms? I mean seriously...)
(4)Elle B.
This became our group's favorite bar at night during our weekend stay nearby. Great atmosphere, they played this music track that had such classic hits (Aerosmith, Journey, etc.), friendly waitstaff and trendy interior (such cute Victorian chairs!), not too crowded, mixed crowd. Only downside was drinks could get a bit pricey ($10/shot), but well worth price for such an enjoyable time. Highly recommend!
(4)Hannah S.
It's about time I updated my review, as somehow I've ended up at Greenstreet almost weekly as of late. You can't beat the outstanding outdoor seating and red velvet benches (although they could use a good scrubdown). Prices are definitely inflated ... but it's the Grove, and with this place, it's all about location. They have happy hour from 5-7, M-F, decent prices on drinks (no food on happy hour), but I've found the mixed drinks to be pretty watered down. In terms of the menu, I'm all about the salads, and they're nice enough to make them into a wrap for me from time to time. I especially recommend the fig salad - perfect mix of sweet & savory with the figs and the aged cheese. Yum! I like this place, but honestly, there's nothing particularly exceptional about it (except for their brunch - which is outstanding). The places are a little too high, and for happy hour, I'd rather do Lulu's, right across the way, since they include food for their HH. But, Greenstreet is a staple, and an extremely pleasant place to while away an afternoon or evening in the Grove. PS: They are dog friendly, LOVE it! They give you snack mix when you sit down, which, while nice, is addictive. :)
(4)Izzat A.
Came here for brunch and was very very satisfied. I'm not usually a breakfast/brunch person, but this place has turned me into a changed man. I got the cream cheese, spinach, chicken omlett with breakfast potatoes and it was amazing. I've never had an omlet that has made me say O-M-G, but this one did. The cream cheese went perfectly with the chicken and spinach. Loved the ambiance as we sat outside in Coconut Grove. Service was super fast and friendly. A little on the expensive side, but well worth it.
(5)Ana Cristina P.
This is probably my favorite place to go in The Grove. I love the food, I love the location, and I love the memories. The last time I went was right after the King Mango Strut this past year. At first I was kinda annoyed because they were so crowded that day that they sat us next to some really loud music, but then I realized it was King Mango Strut Day and started jammin' out to the loud music instead. Eventually my ears grew accustomed to the decibels. I've been here a few times and not once have I been disappointed. The service has always been great, even when it's insanely crowded. The food has always tasted delicious, even when I ordered plain pasta with nothing on it on my anniversary dinner because I had to get surgery a couple of days after. Weird, but true! My favorite thing to order here is the Pear and Endive salad with bleu cheese and walnuts- very refreshing! I feel ashamed because I keep hearing about how awesome their breakfast food is, yet I have never ordered it. I promise I will one day! Five stars for Green Street!
(5)LaShawn M.
My fave!!! Whiskey Wednesday is the best! Also, great breakfast and they serve until 2:45pm. The wings are very yummy, and all the bartenders and servers are very friendly. You may even catch a celebrity or athlete dining.
(5)Ale R.
Always a wonderful atmosphere + it is always a pleasant experience. Food is delish!
(5)Ana M.
Went for brunch on a Sunday with a group of six. It took quite a wait to be seated because it was full to capacity. The wait was worth it because you can order from the bar and stand to view the relaxed atmosphere of the Grove. The food was great, our waiter named Randy provided us with excellent service. Two of us kept taking pictures and the entire event was fun. My sister invited me as an extended birthday celebration and I am very grateful that she did. The company, conversation, and ambiance was very much to my liking.
(5)John C.
We drove all the way down from Miami Shores to check this place out for breakfast. What a DISAPPOINTMENT! I ordered scrambled eggs with salsa. Well, the salsa came from a jar, the eggs from a carton...YUCH! I expect such a place to serve shell eggs and not be lazy and make salsa from SCRATCH....how many ingredients are there in Salsa, three or four only? Come on...!
(1)Marcos R.
Great spot to sit outside and people watch. They've got a bunch of outdoor seating, they serve brunch too, I've never been for dinner but I have been there in the evening for drinks. Odd thing is, they're right next door to Senor Frogs(very lame) and the awnings that hang over Green Street say Senor Frogs on them. So, if you don't know, you think it's all Senor Frogs. They must fix that. The manager proudly parks his/her vintage Vespa Sprint right outside the place on the corner of Commodore Plz and Main Hwy. Very cool. Big props for that!
(3)Ashley C.
Best Bloody Mary's! Really great food too

Greenstreet has been a staple in the Coconut Grove for years. I was first introduced to this place a few years back while training for a run with my running group, who would rewarded themselves to Sunday brunch after a long run. The people in the group told me that they knew the chef, who was french, and that everything there was really good. So, I accepted the invitation still sweaty and tired from my morning run. It turned out that I wasn't the only one. On Sundays it is common to see people gathering for brunch after there morning workouts. The droves of bikers and runners venture out to this spot especially the people who have raced that day, and not to mention the walkers who also join in with their dogs. This spot has a great friendly environment and to be outside enjoying the day relaxing with a nice cup of coffee or a mimosa is a great end to my week. After that first day, I have been back, once for dinner, once for lunch, and once for drinks at night. I really have to stress that the food isn't phenomenal any other time than breakfast. I feel like the menu has a typical Italian cuisine with the typical meat entrees that every other restaurant offers in Miami. Drinks at happy hour or for a stop off before the clubs on the weekend is a better choice is your not going for brunch. Thursdays is college night and the rest of the weekend it seems to always be a good spot to chill and have a cocktail with some friends. The wait in the comfy sofa chairs and benches outside is a plus too. They at least make your wait enjoyable because sometimes on a Sunday when the wait can be over an hour, you need a good seat. So, go around lunchtime, get a mimosa or bellini at the bar and relax to take in the scene in at the Grove. The inside dining room is also interesting option, if the day is not the best weather to sit outside (which is where I prefer to sit), the non conventional seats and tables inside provide an interesting feel. It almost reminds me of a library, with the dark wood and the plush chairs. The service is always great. I have eaten there so many times and tried everything with no disappointments. I usually stick to any of the egg omelets or the banana pancakes. The apple turkey sausage is another item on the menu that I add to my brunch which is also a good addition. Of all the places that have come and go over the years in the Grove, this place has always stayed packed and in business. For me, it is one of the best places to have brunch on a Sunday in Miami.
(4)Lourdes D.
Came here for brunch this morning with my best friends and it was amazing. The weather was close to perfect, so we decided to sit outside and enjoy it. I ordered a mimosa and the two egg meal, that comes with potatoes and toast. To top everything off, we decided to share their banana/chocolate chip pancakes. All the food was great, the atmosphere was awesome and the service was just as good. After brunch, we continued to take advantage of the weather and decided to check out some of the boutiques in the area. Definitely planning to come here again for brunch. You can park in either the pay-to-park street parking or in one of the many lots in the Grove. This place gets really packed, so plan to wait a bit for a table. However, there are great couches outside where you can lounge and have a cocktail.
(5)Elizabeth T.
A Grove staple, this place has probably the BEST brunch around. I love Green Street because everything is good. Food, drinks, atmosphere, service - it's got it all. You want a delicious place to enjoy a fresh lunch? Green Street. Looking for spot to meet up with the girls for a late night drink? Green Street. Need to take your in-laws to brunch? Green Street. Green Street has both indoor and outdoor seating. Tables provide you the sit-down feel, whereas comfy couches give you a spot to grab a casual drink. The outdoor bar is the perfect spot to grab a mimosa while you wait for your table. If you prefer to sit inside, you'll enjoy quirky decor, including a room full of books and throne-like chairs. To be honest, I've only had a few things on their menu, but that's not because it's limiting - it's just that their french toast is the only thing I need to make me happy! The best I've found in Miami! But my friends all swear by their omelets! And their potatoes are a fantastic and flavorful side that pairs with almost every dish. The bartenders know how to make a cocktail - everything is good! And their iced cappuccinos are not a bad way to cool down on a warm Miami day!
(5)Sara W.
Coconut grove is a surprisingly quaint and economical place to enjoy dinner. It was wonderful to eat outside in January. Our server did a nice job of checking in with our table. I ordered the salmon with penne in a vodka Creme sauce. It was wonderful. I had expected a salmon filet with a side of penne, but instead my salmon was shredded and mixed in with the sauce. Everything was piping hot and my portion was so large I only are half. It was great! Only negative, my friend tried the classic burger and said it was nothing to rave about. The bun was a bit hard on the outside. Overall, my food was great and I would definitely go back!
(4)Shannon S.
Great restaurant! Great food, service, drinks, music, atmosphere! Awesome furniture to relax & chat w/friends. Big TVs for hanging to watch sports. All menus offer a variety. A MUST!!!
(5)Victor P.
Worst place ever award goes to green street café: service is horrible and so is the food. Seriously, you call yourself a restaurant? the management, servers and hostess are all incompetent fools. The only thing that makes sense there is the bartender (Bloody Mary) ... but it's lacks everything else. It's really sad when the manager requests for you to go to another restaurant because they don't have the skill or the capacity to help a party of 11 people and made us wait 2 hours for a table. They even offered a gift certificate to make-up for it and I rejected because even if the food was free I would not eat there or set foot in the place ever again. Yelp, please add the convince of giving negative stars.
(1)Alex R.
This is my favorite place for Sunday brunch in all of Miami. This is one of those spots that you always go back to because you want to try everything on the menu. Thats probably why most of the people that you find there are locals. Top picks: The smoothies (both mango and berry) are awesome, the chocolate french toast is insanely good, and the banana with chocolate chip pancakes are a must. Oh yea, the omelette's are pretty good too!
(5)Ashley E.
Skip it. Go to Peacock Cafe..trust me on this one, Greenstreet has gone down hill..
(1)Amaryllia L.
I was going to be in Miami for 2 days and heard that Joe's Stone Crab was the one place I had to check out, especially if I could eat on company money. Well, shortly after we landed, my coworker and I checked into our hotels and made a bee-line for Joe's. To our dismay, they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, which is the only two days we would be there... Since he had been to Miami before and this was my first time, he suggested that we check out Coconut Grove for some other eats. After getting a little bit lost, mainly because I left my GPS in my room, we found parking in a small $6 lot next to GreenStreet. We hung out there another good 5 minutes admiring the dark gray Aston Martin Vantage that we parked next to. In short, GreenStreet didn't have the crab legs we were craving, but it had a tasty-looking menu and very nice atmosphere. We initially sat outside but requested to move inside when the mosquitoes found me. The decor is very interesting and not what you would expect - dark red velvet seats and strange figurines all over the ceiling. What we ordered: * Warm goat cheese salad - split this between 2 of us as appetizer. first time I've ever had fried goat cheese and the salad dressing was a perfect complement. * Salmon with fennel sauce - fresh and a good size. slightly too dry around the outside where they blackened a very pretty grill pattern. * [some fish I can't remember] and lemon butter - this was their special for the day and I was offered to try a bite off my coworker's plate. wow I have never had anything lemony-er...the sauce is clearly made with some lemon concentrate or something because it was more sour than sucking on a fresh lemon. no idea how he ate all of it without getting sick.
(4)Michelle C.
Eeh. I know that most people come here at night for drinks, and the location and ambiance is great, but I went here for breakfast, and it was only okay. I am a breakfast food person. You know, the kind that orders off of Denny's breakfast menu all day long. The food was mediocre; IHOP does better pancakes. When I go out, I want to eat something I can't do at home, or I want it done better. Next time, I'd stay home.
(3)Joseph C.
Green Street is the only reason that I still go to the Grove. I love the fact that it has indoor seating (for the extremely hot days) and outdoor seating for a nice open air dining experience with plenty of people watching. All of the brunch items here are pretty good. My favorites are the pancakes, eggs benedict, and my most recent discovery which is the goat cheese and spinach omelette. The service here is pretty good and the ambiance is great. I've also come for lunch and liked it as well. I had the blackened dolphin wrap. It was very tasty and fresh. Green Street also tends to get full on some weeknights but I've kind of outgrown the crowd. It's comprised of a lot of college/UM students and the guys who can't seem to shake the college mentality.
(4)Julie J.
I always end up finishing the night with my friends at this lounge. We always have a great time. We always get our favorite server Stephanie which makes the ambiance of the night even better. The drinks are great and my favorite which I highly recommend is the Mojito. The music is hip and its also great for people watching. They also have great specials on scotches on Wednesday which they call Whiskey Wednesday. This place is great for groups and even for a nice romantic night out. I definitely recommended this restaurant as a lounge.
(5)Juan S.
Things seem to be changing here..and not for the better... (breakfast review) There are many great things about this place, namely the location and outside dining. Service is usually very friendly and the food is good; however, the portions seem to have shrunk and the quality isn't as good as I remember. Also, prices have increased. The outside tables could use an update as well. Things are looking a little dated here, especially compared to it's newer younger sister, lulu across the street. Will return but might think about checking another option instead next time.
(3)Hesham E.
I think I found my new favorite breakfast spot and, best of all, they serve breakfast thru 2pm everyday! The eggs here are fantastic; had them scrambled with cheddar cheese and a little bit of tobasco.
(4)Nic B.
Splitting a bottle of wine and picking at the Mediterranean Platter with big sunglasses and sundresses kind of reminded me of my days at University of Miami where I was carefree with money and a little bit of a spoiled snob on Daddy's dime. However, um, those days are over now. Thank god I wasn't picking up the tab because these days, I'm envious of how much money the busboy is making. I'm only half kidding. Good solid times, good food, good wine, good company, as always.
(4)Elizabeth P.
Green Street Cafe is a place to go to be seen and for drinks. While Green Street Cafe is always packed and full of people, the surrounding restaurants like Lulu were dead on a Tuesday night. It's a little supply and demand, and Green Street is always in demand. I suppose that's why I keep going, feels like a good night out. Went there for dinner and had the veggie lasagna, it was good, but never went past the wow factor. I have eaten there before and it has been most of the same.This restaurant has made themselves a Coconut Grove staple, while in reality not providing quality food.
(3)Sheila S.
This is a solid brunch place - a treat to spend some lazy late-morning girl time. If there's a wait, you can lounge on the cushy couches outside and grab any of their tasty drinks (Watermelon lemonade, frozen cappuccino, etc). The service is decent, as is the food. We had the cheese & mushroom omelet, bagel with everything, banana pancakes, and eggs to order. The pancakes were pretty fabulous, but the waitress asked if we wanted "Real Maple Syrup." Looking puzzled, she informed us that the default for the pancakes is artificially-flavored sugar syrup. Not cool Green Street. Not cool. The eggs & omelet were fine, but the potatoes stunk. Breakfast potatoes are one of my favorite things, but I left over half of these behind. Would I go back? Yes. But I'd try the grits instead of the potatoes as a side.
(3)Elena I.
I loooooove this place! Very reasonably priced and their Eggs Benedict are truly the best I have ever had. If you order Steve's pancakes, make sure to tell them to add some chocolate chips as they really, really add that extra little something to the flapjacks. Oh, and their veggie omelet is also the best I've had. Dinner is great too. Great selection and large variety. I believe Monday nights you get 1/2 off wine bottles and I am always up for that!
(5)Alex H.
Ambiance: Outdoors; busy in groups Food: Good Drinks: Didn't drink; full bar available We decided to go see a movie in the nearby Paragon Theater and have dinner near by. GreenStreet provides a street corner, outdoor ambience allows for smokers (cigarette and cigar) to be able to eat and drink. I am very anti-smoking, but thankfully the outdoor environment allows for clear air when the wind blows. The bar area is wooden with tall comfortable stools. The area is lightly lit with a wide variety of liquor selection. They run a special of free house champagne for ladies during the their first happy hour. They have a second happy hour from 11:30 pm to close (with last call at 3:00 am). As a scotch drinker, their prices are reasonable and they have a "basic" selection. I ordered the Blackend Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi) which was a good portion size and very filling . Bottom Line: Recommended
(4)Kaleena S.
Went to Green Street with my boss after work to talk and hang out, and to use his groupon that was about to expire... we got there right during shift change so by the time we actually got someone to take our order 3 people had been to the table saying they were going to be right with us. Our order consisted of salsa, & hummus and two drinks I want to give green street more stars but i can't reach into my pocket and give out a 4 for stuff i can make at home. granted some might say well look at what you ordered, simple stuff, to which i would say hey if its on the menu it better be something better than what i can do myself otherwise why is it on the menu? Everything was ok. I would go back again, but this time i would sit inside, or at least away from the corner outdoor seating and order something that maybe i wouldn't make at home to really get a feel for this place
(3)Lorena C.
Although me and my friends always try to go to new places, somehow we always ended up spending our weekends here. Great place to seat have some drinks and catch up with friends and family.Their fries and burger are pretty good also I would've loved to give this place 5 stars by sometimes the male waiters tend to forget you exists, so be patient. Anyhow i love this place is cute, great location and you are always gonna have a great time.
(4)Alex S.
My girlfriend loves GreenStreet and I think a lot of women do for that matter, but I just don't get it. It's pricy, the food's pretty good, but not worth it. The drinks are expensive, and the tables are cracked or chipped, they are too close together, and the floor inside is uneven. The bathrooms are cramped, and it just doesn't look nice enough to justify the price. If you are a lady, read the ladies' reviews, I'm sure they're great. But as a man, I can find a much better place to hang out in the grove just a stone's throw away. I will say, the service has been pretty good every time I've been, and they do drink specials that make it worthwhile on occasion.

Lots of good times and good memories come from Greenstreet. When I first moved to Miami in 2002 I landed in the Grove, stranger in a strange land. Greenstreet was a place I could go and read a book and not feel like a lonely loser. Then when I made friends and starting going out socially, Greenstreet was one of the stops on our bar-hop. Seven years later you can catch me there most Friday evenings having free champagne (ladies only!) from 5-8. The food is good too. And breakfast on the weekends is so awesome it's almost impossible to get a table. I love the bolognese and the cheese plate! One creepy thing I learned whilst a Grove native (and confirmed by a bartendar on staff) is that the owner has closed-circuit camera's running from the restaurant/bar directly into his home. But I guess that's just "quality control."

We have to give this 5 stars because for the little that we ate, it was awesome. Fresh outside seating even in August!!! Warm fresh rye rolls, just out of the oven. Goat cheese tomato pizza that my wife and I shared. I can't say anything bad about the pizza, thin crust, warm, easy to knife and fork or just fold. Fresh ground pepper and cheese offered for pizza. Not greasy. For this I award 5 stars because the little we asked for was served excellently. Service was impeccable...very friendly staff.

A Coconut Grove staple, this quaint corner restaurant is one of my all time favorites. Not only are their red plush outdoor couches fun to sit in, but their food is amazing! My personal favorite is the Mediterranean platter for dinner and their goat cheese and tomato omelet for brunch. I have dreams about that omelet! If you get seated right away, the service is usually fast and you get to enjoy a beautiful meal on an active sidewalk corner. The perfect start or end to any day!

I can't believe I've never written a review on this famed Miami spot. Greenstreet cafe is definitely a place for locals to gather on either Whiskey Wednesdays or ladies night on Thursdays. If you plan on meeting up with friends and lounging out, I recommend coming here and hanging out by the infamous red sofas. Besides having great drink specials, the food is decent and their brunch seems to be the talk of town. The service is usually good, unless you piss off one of the waitresses on hand. It gets really busy on Wednesday and Thursday nights as well as Saturday and Sunday mornings. Greenstreet Cafe is one of those places that you know you can come to and just have a fun night.

After a three year hiatus from GS, I came here for an early Mother's Day dinner so my husband could try it out. I didn't remember much about it since it had been so long, but I did remember leaving with a less than stellar impression after an average brunch experience. Luckily, Green Street redeemed itself with great service and much more palatable food! We started off with some hummus and pita bread, which was plentiful and satisfying. As an entree, I had the Shrimp Pasta - to DIE for (could've done with a little more shrimp, though)! My husband opted for (surprise, surprise), their cheesburger which he devoured with no complaints. And as an added bonus, we got a free dessert just for checking in on Yelp! The waiter suggested the Tiramisu, and by this time I couldn't even tell you how good it was because I was just so ridiculously stuffed and content. So yeah, if you haven't made an inference by now, I'll just spell it out for you - t r y t h i s p l a c e o u t! Happy eating!

Love this place! Great atmosphere and great food. An excellent treat after a long hard day at work. PS: please bring back the lamb chops as a special. they are easily one of my favorite meals...ever.

not what it used to be, way too hyped up, but people keep going there. menu is plain, food is not good anymore, service is very slow. miami has way better restaurants to offer....
(1)Remy L.
Went there a few times. The brunch and lunch are delicious. The location is fantastic. We love their choice if salads.
(4)Luke F.
Probably a fun spot at night for drinks but I would say don't go for a meal. My cheeseburger came served with a surprising little slice of wax paper deftly hidden between patty and cheese. That means A: they use frozen burgers or gross processed, packaged cheese B: the cooks are not paying any attention to anything. And C: they are trying to get you to choke to death. Unapologetic waitress added insult to injury.

I've been living in Miami way too long to actually never come here. The day was gorgeous yesterday so we decided to take the girls (aka, our two yorkies) out for brunch and since GreenStreet has outdoor seating and allows dogs, off we went. The wait when we got there was about 45 minutes, which was okay-- They have a bunch of old-fashioned couches lined up the street where you can sit and wait. We waited maybe 20 minutes--- their service is very quick so people finished eating rather fast. The one thing I didn't like was that the tables are pretty close together and there were way too many big dogs, so I had to watch mine more than I normally would- not that this is Greenstreet's fault-- but I want other owners of smaller dogs to be aware. The food came out very fast. We literally sat down and were out in 30 mins tops. The manager was standing by us, giving orders to the hostesses and busboys via radio... While it was annoying to hear him, it was clear that he had the place in check, which was demonstrated in their quick service. I also found the bill to be pretty cheap, at $27 for 2. I will probably be back to GreenStreet to try their pancakes or french toast which I didn't get to-- but next time I will definitely leave the pups at home.
(4)Elizabeth M.
Let me start off by telling you that the french toast at this place is deeeeelicious!!!!!! And if you like chocolate then the chocolate french toast is for you. I staying in miami with my sister for a couple days and this place was right outside of her building and i got breakfast from here two days in a row. It might be a bit pricey but it is def worth going.
(4)Franky A.
Classic Coconut Grove institution. Food is ok and the service can be slow at times but this place to me is the real Miami. If you're a true native, you're here all of the time. Great spot to watch the games. Brings back so many great memories of hell raising in my youth.
(4)Barry B.
I have eaten at Greenstreet several times and have always enjoyed the food! My favorite waiter is Dwight. He is friendly, courteous and makes us feel at home creating a great dining experience!
(5)Michel P.
Great food and service! And a delicious bloody mary:)
(5)Margot B.
I haven't been here for a while, but had a "power breakfast" at Greenstreet's last week. Normally I don't do power breakfasts, but it was a nice day and we had a table outside. This is a great breakfast and weekend brunch spot as you can do some serious people watching. My friend had the french toast and it was a very generous portion - even he couldn't finish it. The food is good, the service is good and the ambiance is classic Grove. What's not to like??

I've been punched in the face twice in my life. One was when I bet a midget he couldn't do it (I'm 6'3"), and the other was the great punch I felt when I had some pancakes at GreenStreet Cafe. They were banana pancakes. They were so delicious. It's a little strange that I had to ask for "real" maple syrup though. A condiment like that should be standard fare at any place that prides itself in breakfast and doesn't rhyme with Jenny's. I made a joke to the waitress about how "Steve's banana pancakes" take on a whole new meaning if you add a strategically placed pause. She laughed, and even though I noted it was forced laughter at my borderline sexual harassment, I appreciate that sort of go-getter attitude for a bigger tip. The pancakes tasted like world peace and legalized prostitution. The syrup, on the other hand, tasted like violence and mortgage fraud. I wasn't aware that I had to special-order the maple syrup until after I had the taste of assets and liabilities in my mouth. The palatableness of the pancakes evened things out though, so I was still able to enjoy things. I pointed out the riotous zing of high-fructose corn syrup to the waitress and she was willing to bring out a whole new batch of pancakes with maple syrup and not charge me for the syrup. I declined because I was in a hurry to be late for work for the third time that week, but I welcomed the effort. At night the place takes on a whole new atmosphere. I always think to myself, "if I want to see someone with a popped collar and a visor, GreenStreet is the place to go." I'm never let down. There's no single place on earth where you'll find more IDs with the names Chad, Rusty, Hunter, Tucker, Chase, Todd, Logan, Grayson, Ian, Dean, and Casey. The only exception being a John Mayer concert. Or a frat party. If I remember correctly though, you'll find 2-for-1 specials on beers after 11, so that's cool. I've only munched on nachos at night in that spot. They serve Guinness, so you know the bar is good. Guinness can make anything special. It's like glitter. If you have a packet of glitter there's nothing you can't fix. Does your niece have an art project due in her kindergarten class tomorrow morning? Glitter. Is the party not lively enough? Glitter. Did someone poop in the wall urinal again? Glitter. Is Mariah Carey's career stagnating? Glitter: The film. The possibilities are endless indeed. If you've got time in the morning for breakfast that isn't in a cardboard box with a navy man who hasn't been promoted to rear admiral in over 46 fucking years, give GreenStreet a shot. PEOPLE WHO WOULD ENJOY IT: Pancake lovers; breakfast lovers in general; all of UM. PEOPLE WHO WOULD NOT ENJOY IT: All of FIU.

GreenStreets is consistant and always a treat when I visit. Had the Ceasar Salad w Jerk Chicken yesterday, one of my favorites... The crowd is always eclectic & on a sunny bright day it's always a special treat... Kudos to you GreenStreet Cafe...
(5)Christie A.
LOVE coming here for drinks at night! The couches, the music, the vibe....I love it! Definitely recommend it for a date night or night out with friends. Now, the food here....eh...I'm not too much of a fan of it to be honest with you. I think its just okay and i find it to be slightly overrated. I find the breakfast to be too expensive for what it is and the mimosas are WAY overpriced, IMO. The last few times I've eaten here I've been left wanting more.....so now I just come here to drink...and that's fine by me...liquid diets rock!
(3)Jessica A.
I absolutely LOVE this place! We have Sunday brunch here every Sunday. We love Amy and Emily at the bar. They always greet you with a smile and great service. The managers are also always very pleasant and come say hello and make sure everything is ok. I decided to go for lunch since I have never really been there except for brunch. The food was amazing. I started with a cup of the zuchini/basil soup which was so delicious. I learned that they don't use cream but chicken stock so it's low fat (bonus!) For an entree I had the fig salad and substituted the cheese with goat cheese. Probably one of the best salads I have had. Only down side is that it didn't come with a protein like chicken or fish, but you can easily add that. For dessert, I highly recommend the tres leches...HMMMMMMM! I left very happy and with a full tummy! :)
(5)Dianna R.
One of the few places in Miami open for breakfast! It was packed! The breakfast has great options and everything was great and large portions. Lots of inside outside seating. Haven't been there for other meals...so can only comment on the breakfast! And I will definitely return!
(4)Enrique C.
I didn't want to like this place. I was secretly hoping it wasn't that good so I could throw it in friend's faces when they talked about it. I was wrong, at least about breakfast. Came here on a Sunday morning with the Big Girl and we were not disappointed. I ordered an omelet with bacon & goat cheese. BG got the pancakes. Both items were spectacular, The service was on point and always eager to help in any way possible. I cannot wait to try their lunch/dinner menu. I will then update the review. My only knock was that they offer free Wi-Fi but it was not working at the time. These things do happen, so I can let it slide.
(4)Vanessa S.
Despite gorging on Christmas Eve, Christmas morning found me hungry and searching for breakfast. GreenStreet was its usual buzzing self. I was torn between two and three stars for the following reasons: Our server was excellent, he picked up our table when we were literally left abandoned in the middle of the dining room with no one to help us. The mimosas were great, juice with no pulp and there was no cheap Brut to be tasted! Steve's Banana pancakes! Served just a little bit warmer, would have been perfection! As far as the two star stuff, it goes a little something like this: 3 egg dishes not cooked to order and all of which that came out cold. When we approached the runner about it, she was quite snappish so we cut our losses and sucked it up. Needless to say, I'm still in search of my "go to" breakfast spot.
(3)M. S.
During the day, it's a nice relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy your lunch during a perfect day at a perfect corner. At night, it's the same except it's night time (and it's dinner, not lunch, and it's wine/beer/liquor, not iced tea). Wow, I'm a genius. I could have said that in much simpler terms. What I'm trying to say here is that this is a great place no matter what time! One thing though, if you're going at night, don't say "I'll go for a bit" because you'd be lying. If you're with good company, you won't notice the time go by because there's nothing better than sitting outside on a COUCH! P.S. What's up with the scooter that's always outside? Anyone know?!
(5)Vanessa G.
GreenStreet is a great place for 2 completely seperate and unique purposes: "see and be seen" brunches any day of the week, and nighttime cocktails. I'll go in chronological order, since it make the most sense... Brunch: it's often hard to find a place that serves a good brunch Monday-Saturday (and Sunday too), but GreenStreet totally fits the bill. They offer a variety of things to order...from the sweet pancakes, to savory omelletes. My personal fav is the scrambled eggs with jerk spices, and a side of fruit. It's the perfect combination of spicey, savory and sweet! Drinks: lounge on fancy, yet comfy sofas lining the front of the restaurant with a refreshing cocktail in hand and chat it up with local social butterflies. It has the feeling of an upscale lounge, but with no cover or bouncer to annoy you.
(4)Ashley V.
Overpriced but pretty tasty breakfast. The french toast is thick and yummy! The half order is enough to fill you up. I also opted for the fried potatoes as a side and glad I did. They have a decent coffee/fu fu coffee drink selection. I bought a take-out salad from here once, it was good but way overpriced. This place can get busy at breakfast time and there is usually a bit of a wait. It has nice outdoor seating with plenty of available people watching. The inside is sort of odd. The decor and vibe is a little strange, I prefer to sit outside. Overall a cute place and if it keeps the Grove alive I'll keep supporting it. Definitely go here for breakfast or brunch.
(4)Philip S.
I've been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner on different occasions. This place is a great place to come and chill with friends, and grab a bite to eat or a drink. Every time I have been here, the staff is great and very attentive, the quality of the food is pretty good and the prices really aren't that bad compared to other places in the area and compared to what you get in Miami.
(4)Alex C.
5 stars all the way thanks to the incredible service from Giulian on 3/25/12. I have been a regular at GreenStreet for years and wasn't too fond of a late lunch-early dinner experience a few years ago. I have continued going and I have been extremely pleased everytime. I am glad I gave this restaurant a chance again after that negative experience years ago. Giulian was a great server, so much so that I just had to write a review. Their quality of food and service has been consistent the last couple of years, just like what I used to experience when I first started visiting this establishment. Thanks, Giulian!
(5)Dan d.
Next to South Beach, Coconut Grove is the place to be in Miami. Unfortunately, that means the restaurant scene is littered with tourist-traps. As such, my expectations were low when I stopped here for a late lunch. This place has good sidewalk appeal, featuring indoor/outdoor dining in a lively area. To my surprise, I found it to have good food, fast service and reasonable prices as well.
(4)Dave L.
Awesome food. Great outdoor atmosphere. I had the lamb chops. Super tender and tasty. Not the biggest chops but they give you 4 of them so it's plenty of food. Get the mash potatoes. They are super tasty as well.
(5)Sam S.
We ate at the GreenStreet Cafe a few weeks ago during a trip to Miami. After reading the many positive reviews on Yelp I decided we should go here for breakfast. We were seated outside on a very pleasant December day and promptly greeted by our server. My wife and I ordered two eggs over easy with hash browns, bacon and toast. I also had an orange juice. The food arrived quickly and was served hot. With hungry appetites we dug in and the food was great. Our eggs were well cooked, the bacon was delicious, and the toast was good too. Their orange juice tasted fresh squeezed, which is always a plus, and was excellent. If I had to find some thing to complain about I would say the eggs were not particularly season. I had to salt and pepper them quite a lot before they started tasting good to me. But at least they were well cooked. The staff kept an eye on us throughout our meal and was quick to bring us anything additional we needed and kept our drinks filled. I wish there were more places like GreenStreet Cafe in my neighborhood, this cafe was superb.
(4)Tyler K.
Extremely good food! Salmon filet was awesome! Wish it was bigger, though. Friendly staff, good atmosphere!

Always love coming here for my eggs Benedict and mimosas! always a great atmosphere and great service! lunch is great too!
(5)Sebastian E.
I did not put in my comments yet? What? The Green Man must comment on Green Street... The name says it all, or does it. Never really could figure this one out, since it sits in the corner of Main and Commodore Plaza... The food is Mediterranean and has items like hummus, fig leaves and olives as starters; then moves into listings like chicken pasta and salmon salad for main dishes. All good. The best times to come are early on the weekend for breakfast. I note early, because it does get full, very full. Fresh juice, coffee and basic selection of eggs, anyway you can imagine them. Items are served to order and accompanied by house potatoes. I also like the lox here, as well as my favorite, Eggs benedict. The other best time must be happy hour. Once the 3 o'clock hour has passed, they are pulling out the dark red velvet couches and lounges and transform the sidewalk into a true happy place. People watching gets really close up. The bar behind, facing Main, is now open as well and the perfect late lunch or early evening can proceed. Along Commodore there are tables lining the sidewalk for great outdoor seating. Even during light sprinkles, this area stays pretty dry. There are a bar and more tables inside, I have never seen. Greenstreet is the place to sit outside, enjoy good food and drink and take in the full flavor of the Grove. Lookout for happy hours and other specials.
(4)Arly J.
Great Breakfast place. We arrived around 9am and the place was swarming with people our hostess was great and accommodating with our group of six. We didn't have to wait much for a table. We sat inside. The inside area if very eclectic with a library and big red comfy chairs. I have to agree with everyone that steve's pancake and the chocolate french toast were delicious. Our waitress Carolina was great. Wonderful to go before your outing in the grove.
(4)Yvette G.
I love this place!!! I've been coming here for years and used to come Monday nights a long, long time ago when they had 1/2 price bottles of wine. Food is still fantastic, service is good and the outside seating area is great for people watching. My favorite is the blackened mahi with garlic mashed potatoes. Never had to wait for a table and have always had a blast with my husband or group of friends. I've never come for brunch, but will one day when I get up early enough to get there. The only star I would take away is for their abbreviated wine list. They used to have much more variety and now they do not. Definitely a must if you are in the area and want a delicious meal.
(5)Irene C.
I'd come here again more for the ambiance than the food. I like the brunch atmosphere on a busy street corner where you can people watch. (Happy, ambulatory young people, unlike the 85+ population wheeled around with O2 tanks here in Boca). We got here around 2:15 and waited about 5 min on the plush red sofas outside before getting seated. Shared the chocolate french toast, eggs benedict, and zucchini soup. eggs benedict was meh. french toast was good but the blobs of nutella inside were too thick. Server was super friendly and portions were huge (half portion was more than enough for two, and i can eat a LOT for a tiny person). Zuccini soup was pureed, which was unexpected. Tasted more like creamed cauliflower.
(3)Jordan N.
I'm surprised nobody has reviewed this place yet. Green Street Cafe has a reputation in Miami for serving hearty and healthy fare - hence the word "Green" in its name! It is a site of many "green" organizations' meetings (probably also because it's in the greenest part of Miami - the Grove). Additionally there was an "art" market going on when I was there on Sunday - I'm not sure yet if it happens every Sundays. I met a friendly artist by the entrance who was painting on wood canvas. He hails from Las Vegas and calls Miami his second home. Anyways, enough of the greenery - I came here for last Sunday brunch because I've heard from several folks that it was better than Deli Lane. And my verdict? It's neck to neck, with everything at Green Street Cafe being a dollar and few cents more. I had the Nova Benedict, which is similar to the salmon benedict at Deli Lane. It was good, but for the benedict itself, I would rather go with Deli Lane - even though Green Street's benedict was much bigger and heavier. But it was the flavor of the salmon benedict at Deli Lane that won me over - with spinach, not so heavy on the sauce, etc. However, the sides of the potatoes that came with the benedicts - Green Street's proved to be better. What about the other selections? Their menu is big and other plates that went by my table looked good. While I would continue to go to Deli Lane for the benedict, I definitely would come back to Green Street Cafe for brunch to sample out the other goods! The service was slow though, but when other staff members noticed, they tried to accommodate us despite their busy schedule - so I know bad service is not an acceptable standard at this restaurant. And kudos to the friendly hostess that knows how to sign! Note: there's a city-owned parking lot around the corner of this place so don't fret about finding parking (even though it isn't free).
(4)Krupa H.
I have been here for lunch a handful of times and I wish the food is as good as the atmosphere. Yes the outdoor seating is great and the red couches are plush and comfy, but the food doesn't match it. The one good thing on the menu are the jalapeno poppers. They have a good combo of sweet and spicy going on. The guac is outright bland and tasteless. The penne tetrazzinni is the same; the pink sauce needs a lot more zest. I tried their famous mojito and I don't know why it's famous.
(3)Jennifer R.
I've always had mixed feelings about GreenStreet; I wouldn't suggest the place but I don't mind going there. The turkey panini is great for lunch, enough to share between 2 people because it comes with a big side dish. The brunches a good but doesn't seem to have enough selections. However, $14 for a turkey sandwich is a bit pricey, maybe that's why I'm ambivalent about this place.
(3)Keno C.
Great brunch options, big portions and service. Saturday or Sunday works best.
(5)Derek P.
Green Street is one of those places that have great curb appeal and great food to back it up. You'll be impressed by the outdoor decore, which is comfy for people watching and eating. The portions are filling and the service is on point. Definitely would come here more often if it wasn't for the 2700 mile commute.
(4)jen r.
greenstreet is one of the best go-to places in all of miami! the indoor area is nice but outdoor seating is what its all about. the bar area is great with nice plush red couches and tv (for sports fans). its full at all hours, brunch, lunch, dinner, late night drinks, and somehow there is never a long wait, dont know how they do it. i almost always bump into someone i know here... since its so popular. ive been going here for years and it never gets old. the burgers and hummus are awesome. but the pasta and salads are also reallly good. i also really enjoy the zucchini soup. breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and they do it well!! the prices are reasonable for the serving size and quality of food. basically you cant go wrong.
(5)Melissa S.
Dear Green Street, God i love your breakfast menu! The goat cheese and tomatoe omelette is decadent and delicious. My BF always has an egg white feta and spinach omelette and always cleans his plate! Lunch and dinner menus are just as good. The salads are enormous and great. All dressings are made in house, i love that! The pizza is awesome as is peppercorn steak. The service has recently taken a dive, i hate to say. As a a regular of over 5 years now, i have noticed. Which surprises me since i know what a psycho Silvano can be. Get it together and i will bring you the full 5 starts you are capable of earning. Love, M
(4)Cynthia M.
For me, this place is fresh alternative to my normal Brickell and SoBe Brunch locations. It offers the same things as my normal stand-bys -- mimosas, late breakfast, outdoor seating, people watching and retail shops close by for that post-mimosa-buzz-induced shopping spree. While there appears to be many folks waiting to be seated -- even before noon -- we only had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated outside. I like that they offer different kinds of pancakes and waffles including, whole wheat. They also offer different kinds of eggs. Not too many places offer scrambled eggs with different kinds of cheeses. I made the mistake of ordering the scrambled eggs with goat cheese. It just didn't work. It wasn't Green Street's fault -- it is just NOT a good combination (and I still cringe thinking about it). I love how they accomodated our request for a bottle a champagne with a side of orange juice (great way to save $ on mimosas -- make 'em yourself). Overall -- a nice change of pace from South Beach and Brickell -- good service -- but nothing on the menu that causes me to day dream.
(4)David C.
was looking forward to trying this breakfast spot being new to miami... ordered the pancakes and was very disappointed that with the pancakes they serve Smuckers breakfast syrup.... which when you read the ingredients is corn syrup , high fructose corn syrup..... i expect that at a Dennys or McDonalds... and with coffee... non dairy creamer....... expected better quality.......
(2)Armando O.
Great food and ambiance. Service is great. Make sure to ask for Emily and Amy at the outside bar, they are sure to put a smile on your face.
(4)Rick M.
Late night dessert and coffee before calling it a night. Was a good finally to a great evenning.
(4)April W.
A great decent place for just a regular breakfast. Nothing fancy, food was good. Exactly what you are looking for after a long night and do not want to think too much about what you are eating. Had a delish omlet with some good potatoes and a nice glass og oj. perfect in every way and exactly what I was looking for.
(4)Danielle H.
Went last night for an early dinner with friends and it was just ok. We had the calamari appetizer, greek salad, Penne Tetrazzini and Penne Bolognese. My Greek salad was nothing special, My one friend had to put salt on her Tetrazzini and her husband cleaned the plate of his bolognese. They do have happy hour twice a day, every day at 5-7 and 11-12 or 1. The mojitos were decent but overall there menu and food wasnt really exciting. Probably would not go out of my way to eat there again.
(3)Olga T.
love the food, always fresh and yummy!!! Service has declined a little bit, but it's still good. Can't beat brunch there! one of our favorites are the jerk Casar chicken salad, not on the menu, but they always make it for us.
(4)Ryan G.
I love Greenstreet. Great food and location. I have been going there with friends and family for years. But I have to say, after eating there tonight and getting up charged $2.50 for adding cheese and $1.50 to add nuts - all this to a $15 salad (now $19), I think they have become too expensive. Sorry Greenstreet, but you lost a star and I think my visits will become less frequent. I hope you consider making your food more affordable!
(3)Melodee R.
Don't understand how other restaurants fail, yet this place continues. My husband owned a restaurant for 20 years and still scratches his head over this place. Last time we went was for breakfast. Seriously, scrambled eggs with potato cubes and bland toast, with a tasteless cup of coffee. The absolute worst part of this experience is the noise from the trucks coming down Commodore Plaza to make their morning deliveries. Not only can you not carry on a conversation (had to ask the waitress to hold on until the idling truck moved on), but you're breathing in diesel fumes with every mouthful. Diesel and eggs is not my idea of a good morning meal. Forget about the pigeons or the gross brick sidewalk that can't be pressure-washed since the sidewalk is really the only place to eat (unless you want to eat in the crypt). Service is fine, but I always think the waitstaff has alterior motives for working there (like maybe finding a lead to a better job?)
(1)Greg C.
Great place for breakfast, as long as you have time to wait as there is often a line. French toast is the dish to get, and just a half order is plenty unless you are absolutely starving. Iv'e had it many times and it is always good, fluffy and substantial at the same time. So be prepared for a wait if it's on the weekend, and avoid the dinner menu (as others have said it's not bad, just over priced and nothing special). Outside is a fun place to people watch and the inside in interesting also, with creepy little figures adorning the walls/ceiling -anyone remember the 80's horror movie The Gate? Picture those creepy little demons things and you get the idea.
(3)Melanie E.
A Grove classic on the corner with sidewalk couches and coffee tables to better watch the passers by. The menu is nothing to jump up and down about, but the food is good (except for the lamb burger, baaad, can't recommend it except maybe for your doggies - they do allow pets). All in all, a solid choice for brunch or evening appetizers.
(4)Jennifer F.
Stop thinking Miami is a rude city. It is when you drive. I am not sure what happens to drivers behind a wheel, but GreenStreet is a great example of how people in Miami are really nice. The service was really great. People were nice and helpful and the bloody marys are awesome. I really liked the french fries as well. I really like how you can wait on the couches and watch Coconut Grove go by and I think the food is really decent. Still not a fan of the artichoke. It needs some seasoning. Go for drinks, brunch and a nice leisure day a Miami. ;)
(3)Kendall B.
When I wake up hung-over, there are two things that I always crave: (1) a large glass of ice water; and (2) an omlette from Greenstreet. In my opinion, Greenstreet serves the best all around (and most reasonably priced) breakfast in the Miami area. Of course there are incredible brunches at the Biltmore and various South Beach hotels, but those are like $60 per person and unfeasible for every day (for a college kid no less!). Greenstreet on the other hand, will only cost you about $10 for breakfast and it is incredible...the omlettes especially! They are 3 egg omlettes cooked to perfection (not runny) served with your choice of grits, tomatoes, or home fries. I don't care if you are on a diet or don't normally order potatoes, but you MUST try these home fries because they are the best I have EVER tasted! You also get your choice of a toasted French baguette (my personal favorite), English muffin, rye toast, or bagel. It is a very substantial amount of food for the price. However, the best part about Greenstreet is that breakfast is conveniently served every day until 2:45 in the afternoon, which allows me some time to sleep off my hangover. But for those of you who can't kick the hangover before getting there, Greenstreet supposedly makes some of the best Bloody Marys to help beat it. I wouldn't know personally because I'm not a Bloody Mary fan, but look around on a Saturday or Sunday morning and almost everyone is sipping either a coffee or Bloody Mary so they are popular. If you find yourself getting to Greenstreet past the breakfast hour, don't worry because they also have delicious salads. My favorite is the Roman Salad with spring mix, feta, and cherry tomatoes, tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette. I always ask for grilled jerk chicken on top too, which is really my favorite part of any salad I order there. The chicken is thinly sliced down on a diagonal and is always served warm. They have regular grilled chicken too but I encourage you to get the jerk because the spice rub is so flavorful. Also, this is a restaurant that you don't have to ask for dressing on the side because their salads are dressed to perfection...always. Another one of my favorite things at Greenstreet are the chips with guacamole and salsa, which are great to start. The chips are homemade and lightly salted, and the guacamole has a terrific lemony flavor (there is always tension at the table when it comes down to who will eat the last few chips). For a hot entrée, the Mushroom Triangole is very good. It is mushroom filled ravoli served in a creamy porcini sauce...yumm! The Chicken Vegetable Tofu Stir-Fry is also awesome and a really unique spin on stir-fry because the sauce it not your typical brown soy based sauce, but instead a light curry flavored sauce. Make sure that your hungry though because the portion is huge!! Basically, the only thing that I would not order from Greenstreet is the Chicken Provencial because the tomato sauce is not very authentic or homemade tasting, but everything else that I have tried here has been great. As for the atmosphere of the place, on a nice day it could not be better. Greenstreet has a lot of outdoor seating on a nice corner in Coconut Grove so it is prime for people watching and enjoying the weather. There are large umbrellas to provide shade and the tables are comfortable. The inside of the place is much smaller and feels more like a library or a study with the large bookcases that adorn the walls (its cozy), but I prefer to sit outside so try to go on a nice day or night. If you do go at night you'll find that Greenstreet also has a great bar scene, and they are known for the red velvet couches lining the sidewalk that bring the lounge atmosphere outdoors. The mojitos are great and all drinks are half off after 11, so it's very cheap (like $5 a drink). Overall, Greenstreet is one of my favorite places to go in Miami because you can stay all day there and have something going on (I once did stay for 8 hours straight with a group of friends, ordering breakfast, then drinks, and then lunch and it was a blast!!). Ohhh and on top of it all, the service is great so you cannot go wrong!!

GreenStreet Cafe is located in the grove where senior frogs used to be For some reason I always get more excited about coming to this place than when I actually arrive but not to say I don't have a good time because I've never had a bad time here. The food is good, good size for your buck the last time I went here I had a duck salad that I really enjoyed and some good drinks. The service has always been really, really good to me. I always see good looking people here. This place has a very laid back vibe, you look around and see everyone just chilling out in their own element talking enjoying themselves. It has really funky decor that I like because I like funky interesting stuff but if you've read some of the reviews on this place you'll notice something come up again, and again that would be the furniture being a tad icky and in some need of some TLC. I know when I go to a place one of the things I don't want to have to worry about is getting lice or some sort of secretion stick to me especially when the place is ment for kicking back and enjoying yourself. To me greenstreet is a meet up place to start your night or more so for me a early afternoon get together place to enjoy nice Miami weather.
(4)Jacob R.
Way to many people in one area at night. I did like the couches outside however.
(2)Lisa C.
Great spot for outside dining, especially with friends or on a date. It's a sexy spot with velvet sofas and tables where you can share a meal. Food portions are generous for the price, the decor is very cozy and there is plenty of outside dining space. I had the pasta with chicken in pink sauce, prepared well but a tad bland. They should try the same dish with a spicy arrabiata sauce and WOW! Or add some spice. But it was good. a little salt took it to the right level. Drinks are made strong so make sure if it's not to your liking tell them. some bartenders mistake a good drink for lots of alcohol. The wings are AMAAAAAZING. Not sloppy and drenched in sauce. Nice meaty and neat with a blackened outside and just the right amount of heat. Salads and fries also great! Can't go wrong with this spot.

An ideal place for small group dinners, evening drinks and dates! We have always enjoyed this place for the outside seating, tables for meals, and actual couches along the side walk for drinks. Plus the main bar is outside but well covered, so weather is never an issue for some type of outdoor eating/drinking. My friend who is an avid scotch drinker has always been pleased with the selections, as a gin drinker I always enjoy trying the varieties the bar has. Smoking cigarettes and cigars is allowed on the sidewalk area. The menu, like most Miami restaurants, has a large selection or meat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes, so everyone will be happy. Though some of the dishes have rather small portions. There is a weekend brunch menu that I enjoy, fairly basic, but always well prepared. Plus, there is the added perk of being able to sit outside on a quiet morning across the street from a park, and on slow moving early morning streets. Note, even when we go in groups of 7 or 8, for drinks or food, the service is always top notch and the meals always come out at the same time. Kudos to the kitchen.

So I think a lot of people like it here because its a place to see and be seen--especially on Sunday mornings--but I actually like it for the food and atmosphere also. It's a popular brunch spot for good reason; the breakfast food (pancakes--my favorite, omelets, coffee, fruit smoothies) is excellent and served in big portions. It's also just a cool place to sit outside and relax and take in a nice morning. Inside isn't bad either, but its dark and I kid you not I've gone with several people who think the decor is weird, especially the "creepy" little man sculptures all over the place. Green Street is also not bad for lunch; burgers are decent and some of the sandwiches (fish wrap, cajun chicken) are quite good. Never been for dinner, but at night it can turn into a pretty good spot to go out. It seems like it used to get more crowded and crazy at night back when I was in high school a few years ago (especially on Thursdays), but it's still nice to grab a few drinks and chill on those red couches. All in all, a solid place in the Grove.
(4)John H.
Great date place, the couches are fun and it gives great place to just talk and enjoy Miami. I went around 10p and enjoyed some drinks (recommend the Mojito) and calamari as an appetizer - both were great.
(4)Jessica P.
Greenstreet is your go to place for a good meal or a place to meet up for a drink. It has a lot of outdoor seating which is great when the weather is nice. I've only had the salads and brunch but both were great and very satisfying. Fun place, and very laid back.
(4)Alex B.
The breakfast I had was great. I tried the scrambled eggs with salsa. It wasn't spicy at all like the menu said, still very good. The onion bagel with chive cream cheese was good too. The service is usually pretty bad but I go back because of the food.
(4)Marilyn E.
Great place for Sunday brunch, people watching and mimosas, I loved the outdoor seating. The food was good especially the mushroom pizza, we had an excellent waitress named Stephanie she was on top of her game! Considering it was packed she gets 5 stars! I love great service, food and ambiance.
(4)Estercita S.
I have had several business breakfasts here, and this is a lovely place, with a nice menu varitey for breakfast, excellent service, great people watching, and generally good vibe. I highly recommend it..... I had the banana pancakes and were perfect- cafe con leche, also perfect, wIfi while I waited and the best waiter ever
(4)Lourdes W.
Come with an appetite, time, and a desire for al fresco. During Sunday brunch, you'll be in for a wait, but well worth it. The time you wait for table is made up by how fast you're served. They gave a generous portion of nova (salmon) eggs benedict with potatoes --delicious. The pancakes looked amazing, but I don't think it would have fit on our bistro table or our stomachs. Seating is outside and the tables are close enough to hold conversations with others, if you like that sort of thing. Lastly, this place is pup friendly...Lily and Pixie approve.

Do you all remember that Miami weekend three-weeks ago, first week of October it was 65 degrees, sun shining, blue sky, puffy white clouds and a nice comforting breeze to bring it all together on this Sunday morning. It is wonderful when a plan comes together. GF and I went to mass down the road, feeling rather glorious and happy to be alive, we decided to take in the Grove all it had to offer. The many dogs weren't even fighting. Lycra bound cyclist zipping by. The fortunate gray-haired types "cruising" in their rolling steel sculptures of Italian decadence. No sweating going on today. How about that mainstay the Green Street Cafe. Appropriately enough it was pajama day and the staff was looking comfy. We paid a few bucks to park next door, approached the hostess stand and noticed at least 20 parties ahead of us had the same culinary desire this day. No problem -this is where properly run restaurants show their true colors-table after table of happy customer were being turned, we had no problem in standing around for 15-20 minutes (again no sweating), even the fans were off. Plus the smell of home fries kept us engaged and eyeing tables that were about to clear out. The beautiful hostess calls out our name and we declare ourselves front and center. A few parties before us could not be found (aww) so we wanted to reward the hostess for their persistence. Great two-top table in the middle of the action (again dogs at peace with each other). Incredibly friendly server with a phenomenal disposition and personality. We knew what we wanted two orders of Eggs Benedict 8.5/10, Cafe con Leches -nice Lavazza brand coffee used, HOME FRIES, golden brown, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Although there was a long line at hostess stand we never felt rushed. It was nice flow. Had an extra shot of espresso to take on the rest of Cocowalk. Later had a pitcher of Mimosa across the street.

ask Aubrey (the marketing director) to get you a BAMF cocktail (actual name). so. friggin. good!
(5)Gaie C.
I love going to GreenStreet for Brunch. I like to sit outside on a nice cool Miami morning! (during fall, winter and early spring of course) The french toast with the maple syrup is one of my favorite. I know it's always swamped during the weekend, but can the service get better and more consistent? I am not a hard person to please when it come to service, all you need to do is come check on us if we need refill on the coffee, water or juice, is that too much to ask? I guess I am a sucker or it's because it's close to my house or maybe for the mediocre service......yes I will go back to eat there.
(4)Nicole L.
Seated in the corner across from a french restaurant, both restaurants compete for customer servers on standby by the street calling to people walking by. Eventually it was decided the green st cafe because they served pasta. I ordered the linguini and clams in red wine sauce. The pasta and sauce were good, there were plenty of clams in the pasta six with shells and the rest without I thought it was a nice touch and I was surprised to fish more and more clams out of the pasta.
(3)Ray F.
We were a group of six persons that waited for over 90 minutes to be seated. As the hostess guided us to our table, she was told that the manager gave away our table to a 'regular' customer, and that unfortunately, we would have to simply wait for another table. I was shocked that management could be so discourteous and unprofessional. Furthermore, to be so bold to tell customers this, as if they didn't matter. The employees who were aware of what had happened were visibly embarrassed and dumfounded by the managers' action. The assistant manager offered free Mimosa's, then increased his offer to 50% off the tab. The truth is, even if it were free, we would not have stayed. Obviously, we will never ever go back there.
(1)Stephen D.
GreenStreet Cafe is a Coconut Grove staple that's been around for ages. The location is excellent for people watching and is popular for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour. I frequently go for breakfast/brunch on the weekends and will often have drinks with friends on the "lounge" side at night. I find the the food and service to be consistently good, although I would like to see them change up the menu from time to time.
(4)Sara X.
Great place for brunch. I love the chocolate french toast!! The chocolate is inside the bread rather than just some source on the surface. My boyfriend ordered egg benedict, which was pretty good! Tables are outside and alone the street but not very noisy. Enjoyed a breakfast with sunshine in Miami was an wonderful experience especially for an escaper from the cold Philly. Price was fair, smoothy was fine too!
(4)Torrey R.
Well take 2 Ginkgo biloba and call me in the morning. I've been by here and even eaten here a time or two in the evening yet never knew they served such a good breakfast nor the name of the place. Eggs Florentine, blue berry pancakes and a mimosa. Ah. Finally a great breakfast close to home. I can ride my bicycle here and after a breakfast like that will need to ride much farther to work it off. Eat inside with comfortable seating and a/c or enjoy the fresh air outside and watch the people walking around. A menu for everyone with a cheap and simple eggs and toast to the breakfast budge and diet breaker that I had and more.
(4)Karen H.
I am a bit biased as I have been coming to eat here since the late 90's but I love this place. I have eaten various items on their breakfast/brunch and lunch menu and I have never been disappointment, food quality is very consistently good. The service for the most part is OKAY but I have had my occurrences of slow/poor service; I'm usually not in a hurry as I am catching up with friends/family or I bring a newspaper. The location and environment are great...I always sit outside. Overall my favorite place for brunch in Miami.
(5)Elyse W.
GreenStreet is *thee* patio café of Coconut Grove. Disagree with me? Fine! Go ahead and take it up with the hoards of local lunchers crammed into the lush, umbrella-canopied porch almost every day of the week. It's actually so popular that the owner felt the need to expand his empire across Commodore Plaza into the old Mambo's spot which is now Lulu's. Finally, that corner of Main Highway is all his. His! BWHAHAHAAHA! Don't *F* with the power of the GS! For the all the drunkos reading this, they've got two-for-one mojito happy hour on Tuesdays and Whiskey Wednesdays which has recently become pretty popular amongst the college-sect. But it isn't the drink menu - although their watermelon lemonade and just-right Bloody Marys are pretty stellar - that keeps the crowds thick (as in masses, not fat asses...although eating here too often can bring on the chunk). It's their egg Benedict, French toast, solid burgers, and pastas that all come in Cheesecake Factory-size portions that preserve this place's title as the ultimate people-watching spot in the Grove. My favorite thing here, though, is their large, hearty salads like the Fig that comes with aged cheese and caramelized pecans. I also always get side of jerk chicken to plop on top of that leafy sucker, because, well, it's awesome, and a bowl of their low fat zucchini basil soup - it's souperific! Or souper-sonic. Okay, I can't believe I just typed that. Now I'm going to jump into a bathtub full of piranhas...in 3D.

Green Street is pretty cool. Its open air, which is great, but if you want to soke up some AC, the inside has a really unique baroque sort of decor. The food was good, decently priced and the service was very good. I haven't been here for breakfast/brunch yet, but I hear it is awesome. Thursday and Friday nights are fun at Green Street too (generally). Update: Went here for brunch this weekend, very reasonably priced but nothing spectacular about the food, its sort of hard to mess up eggs. Its nice to sit outside and people watch in the Grove.
(4)Jor-El G.
GreenStreet gets 4 stars for their affordable, generously portioned, good-ass breakfast. It was my first experience here and it was a very satisfying one. I also had their new mexican soup which I recommend heavily because it was that good. I had a ham and cheese omelette which was pretty big and came with potatoes and toast. I sampled some of my friends' plates and they were all good as well. Their Bloody Mary was yummy and strong. A+ choice for a hangover.
(4)Cristy M.
Best bloody Mary in town and the Egg whites with Jerk Spices were Delish'
(4)Josh M.
Very good breakfast location. The outside seating is shaded and they have plenty of fans.
(5)Nicole H.
HUEVOS RANCHEROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (eggs with salsa as its written on the menu) I could not get enough! SO MUCH food and I ate EVERY bite!!!!! I arrived to a long line and a FULL house. I gave my name and worried that I would not sit down in time to eat and my stomach would actually, eat itself. I started to walk up to the hostess to ask "How long will ..." "NICOLE" She called my name! I was seated immediately! I have been here before on a "diet" or for a meeting (BAH) so, never really got to enjoy a real, stick-to-your-ribs breakfast BUT, this time it was different. The service was quick, the waitress, friendly and the food came out hot and Fresh! I ordered the huevos rancheros with an everything bagel which comes automatically with tiny potatoes. The food was spectacular, I have been randomly texting friends with HUEVOS RANCHEROS all week since saturday. They were that good and I dont care how crazy I seem. LOVE!
(4)Joy I.
Mediterranean plate is a good light lunch.
(3)Gabriel P.
Green Street... How I would love to love this place for brunch, but I dont. Bottom line probably the most overrated brunch in Miami. The eggs benedict are subpar and the breakfast in general is just average yet there is always an hour wait and people seem to rave about this place like it is the second coming. I strongly feel that people just like to sit out there on Sunday morning just to be seen looking fabulous on a busy corner. It gets 3 stars because I do enjoy their lunch menue. Good paninis and great burgers.
(3)Brian M.
Great scenery, and phenomenal brunch. Everything I've had on the brunch menu has been very satisfying. Only downside is the wait, but, a mimosa at the bar fixes all that! :)
(4)Thea S.
Their breakfast potatoes are unforgettable. The rest of the breakfast I've had has been good. Not mindblowing, but good.
(4)Saira T.
Every time I stay in Coconut Grove I go here for breakfast! I've never sat inside because it's been great weather every time I'm in Miami. Great breakfast, great service. I love getting egg whites "jerk" style. And it helps that it's very reasonable prices.
(5)Christina C.
Two different sides to this place... a) Sunday morning brunch: This place is wonderful for brunch; on a nice day you can sit outside and enjoy the warm sun. They make excellent omelettes and serve great mimosas. A little pricey, but very enjoyable. Watch out for people passing by with VERY large animals... aka, dogs, snakes, etc. b) Thurs/Fri/Sat night hangout: This is the people-watching place. When the Grove is packed, Greenstreet is out of out hand! You can't get a table, they even have guardrails up to keep you out of the street. But, on a quieter weekend evening, you can sit, have a nice bottle of wine, and enjoy some simple appetizers: fruit and cheese platter, the mediterranean platter with humus and pita, or a well-portioned salad. The wine selection is good and reasonably priced so you can even enjoy a bottle. Really enjoyable without the meat market crowd.
(3)Alice C.
This place is extremely over hyped. The brunch fair was like bad room service. The eggs Benedict were horrible from the sauce to the potatoes. The fruit salad was old and slimy. The OJ was NOT fresh squeezed. This was my first and last time.
(1)Christie K.
Just learned that the offending cigar smoking idiot was asked to leave!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now, I can resume my thrice weekly visits.
(5)Agustina P.
Not only is the decor really fun, but the service is great and the food is even better!
(5)Brian W.
Everything was hot and fresh! Very good!!
(4)Chris T.
GreenStreet Cafe is a good crowd pleaser. They've got something for everyone, even someone who is vegan and gluten-free. There are enough items on the menu for a vegan who is also sans gluten not to feel too boxed in by limited options. We went for breakfast so this will color this review. The potatoes are fried in peanut oil so they're 'safe', The generous fruit plate and melon plates are also a good choice. The tomato, grits, oatmeal with cranberries or raisins and museli to the same tune were also lovely. They didn't have soy milk for the coffee (they normally do and their soy lattes are AMAZING!) but the coffee was still great. Omnivore friends said their eggs were "perfect". The omelete also seemed to please.The service was fast which is typical. We didn't have to wait for a table of 4 which per past experience is a little unusual. Everything was clean and done simply but well. I wouldn't go for myself but it's a good restaurant for groups with mixed dietary needs.

Excellent breakfast place!
(3)Alexi L.
If you've never been to Green Street and you live in Miami, you are living under a sad, sad rock. Green Street is the perfect place for breakfast, lunch, weekend crunch (crunk brunch), dinner and drinks! My favorites are the omelettes, mimosas (obviously), the goat cheese salad, and the tofu vegetable stirfry. The best time to go in my opinion is a sunday at noon. Expect a wait but it will be packed with cyclists, see or be seen types, families, hungover partiers... You name it, they're there. Night time is also a favorite. Half priced bottles of wine on mondays and great happy hour specials. Their mediterranean plate is to die for, too, and great for a monday night post-gym monday funday that is a must for my girl friend and I! Any day, any time, any company, green street is f-amazing! I am flabbergasted that its rated with 3.5 stars overall. Don't let that discourage you-- GO!
(5)A S.
I didn't get a great impression of this place. Service was extremely slow and our table was dirty when we sat down until 7 min later that someone finally came to clean it. No even a hello. Drinks were Ok. Nothing special. Food is also OK. Overrated. There are a bunch of better places to spend this kind of money. Bah.
(2)Eloisa G.
Great food, good service, nice ambiance, laid back vibe and good people watching. Great breakfast! Green Street is pretty darn consistently good!
(4)Cat F.
This is my fav Sunday morning treat. Nothing yummier than a mimosa and a veggie omlet. Great service, great people, great ambiance, GREAT ALL AROUND. LOVE IT-everyone should visit :)
(5)Paula E.
GreenStreet cafe is a good place to have lunch, specially if you like people watching....sitting outside always makes for a great lunch date. It's also a really good place if you are a vegetarian, they have some great appetizers like the lentil salad and the grilled asparagus, and some great salads and veggie wraps for entrees. If you go and their soup of the day is Ginger-Carrot YOU MUST TRY A BOWL!! its delicious...but for the most part, its nothing out of this world, the prices are really steep for what they offer, and if you sit inside for whatever reason the service tends to be slower. Also it feels stuffy in there because of the velvet decor. Overall its probably one of the best places to eat at the Grove, but I probably wouldn't go there more than twice a year.
(3)Daniel L.
Because I've only been here for breakfast, I can't say anything about their lunch or dinner offerings. However, I must say that their breakfast is great. Its not too pricey, and decent portions. Everything they do, they do pretty well, though I haven't been overwhelmed or had a "Wow" moment while eating there. The eggs benedict was good, the sauce wasn't broken(unlike another grove breakfast spot), but it wasnt anything extraordinary. The banana pancakes were pretty good, though for a full order, they give you only one small PACKAGE of syrup. 2 things. Packaged syrup? Even IHOP has warm syrup that they bring out. And as much as I love a great pancake, if you dont have enough syrup, whats the point. If I'm paying 9 dollars for pancakes, you could at least give me enough syrup to put on them...and not charge $1.25 for another serving of it. Shameful, really. Despite it all, what makes this place stand out is the ambience. There's something hugely satisfying about sitting outdoors on a weekend morning watching the world wake up. Its just a beautiful place to be in the morning and eating a decent meal. If you have an opportunity, take a loved one and head out there one morning. You won't be sorry.
(3)Lauren b.
horrible!!! disgusting and greasy! everything is terrible here! smell , look/style deco... I can't still understand why there is so much people at this place ! how people can write positive review on this crappy place! I had a Cajun Chicken Breast on a Bun .... my Gosh... the chicken was dry and tasted like old , the "homemade" CajunBlend was, in fact, from a plastic bottle or a can... The waiter had a horrible smell like he didn;t took a shower for 3 days... I went to the toilet... yeark!!!!!! and the smell inside the restaurant was a mixe between old water and chlorox and urine ... was my worst experience. Prices are ok , but still expensive for what you have to try to eat! In the Grove you have better place with real kitchen and chef , like Jaguar , Le Bouchon or George's . Greenstreet Cafe is a blurry copy of News Cafe
(1)Tony G.
Green Street is a dirty little place with numerous Board of Health violations; check out the channel 10 news website for the facts. The lamb burger though is excellent and it's a good place for people watching outdoors; this place is focal point in the grove based on the geometry of the streets but offset from Coco Walk. The place is dark at night. Like dinning in the dark. Guests, if you want to see the menu, bring a flashlight--"for reals." Come on--install some lighting and show off your food and service. Make it happy. The interior of the place really needs a good bleaching to kill all the bacteria and some remodeling, including the use of light fixtures rated at more than 5 watts/hour. Did I mention it was dirty? Every time I eat there I remember the Russian Roulette scene in the movie The Deer Hunter. "Maow!!! Maow!!!" Disturbing. :0) It has free WiFi, which is very cool.
(2)Naomi C.
Green Street gets an average rating from me because I can think of 10 better restaurants I'd rather eat at for the same price or less. Plus, the menu is so generic that there really is nothing to differentiate it or justify the cost.
(3)Jacob C.
This place is really great...and super laid back. I love going here and sitting out at the tables on the sidewalk and have some drinks and food. The food quality at GreenStreet is really good...and it is a nice alternative when you want to get something a little healthier after a late night in the grove instead of fast food or something else that isn't too healthy for you. They have a really good drink special on Wednesday's...$5 Dewars 12 or Black Label. Give this place a try if you want a place to get a good bite to eat with good drinks thats really laid back and you can enjoy the ambiance of the grove.
(4)nicholas b.
I could live without there lunch and dinners, but there breakfast is hard to beat and the pricing pretty good. Is it me or is there always flies flying around at the outside tables. Actually do enjoy this place and have been here many times.
(4)Andy E.
It's late, it's Sunday night, we had the munchies, and an urge to be in a place that's a ALIVE with people - the night never ends at Greenstreet... Or just maybe you won't remember how it ended. Either way big red chairs at Greenstreet saved our night as we enjoyed some wine and savory hummus w/ warm pita while watching over the late night shenanigans in Coconut Grove.
(3)David U.
Delicious food, nice cocktails, and reasonable prices in a lovely setting. I had the zucchini and basil soup with the mahi-mahi wrap. Outstanding fish preparation. Truly, enjoyed it.
(5)Liam D.
This neat (not so little) cafe in Coconut Grove was the perfect place to grab a leisurely pre-cruise departure breakfast. It's located just a little bit off CoCo Walk and boasts an enormous L shaped patio where patrons can bask in the sun while feasting on an interesting and tasty menu. My omelet was delicious (spinach & feta egg whites only), and the coffee was fresh, but the homefries/breakfast potatoes looked like a frozen kind and were a bit disappointing. That said, the meal was good and the locale even better. If I lived in Miami, I'd eat here often!
(4)Kim L.
The local 'see and be seen' corner hotspot of the Grove has always been a favorite of mine. I have been going to Greenstreets for around 25 years for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is consistently good after all theses years. However, the wait staff varies. Recently, the weather was gorgeous outside and I had an out of town guest I wanted to take to the Grove. I havent been here in a very long time and was curious to see any changes. The one change was the wait staff. We had a pleasant server named Jessica. Cute, petite and friendly server who was always making sure we had drinks and attentive to our needs. I am definately going back next week with a friend for her birthday and I hope Jessica will be our server!
(4)adrian s.
This is my absolute favorite place to have breakfast. Outdoor seating a must. The French Toast are spectacular. Lunch and dinner are great here too. You can never go wrong. But I definitely like it for the breakfast. The French Toast are just awesome! Not a bad place to have drinks too. And the prices are super reasonable. My favorite all around, everyday restaurant in Coconut Grove.
(4)Gina P.
Great service. Waitress suggested the specials and they were amazing. Her name is allie. Owner of restaurant personally took photo of me and my wife and made sure everything was up to par. Greenstreet will defenitly see us again
(4)Agnes F.
grabbed lunch here the other day was able to get a seat outdoors so was very pleased food is ok although i couldn't believe the tuna salad was a scoop of canned tuna and not a seared tuna type salad (taught me to read the menu more carefully from now on) service is sufficient don't think i'll go back there, nothing all that special
(3)Max J.
Green Street is what would happen if Alice in wonderland and Tim Burton had a ugly child with each other. That's not to say that the place is a bad one. Just the opposite. Large high backed foux red suede chairs are all over the inside and outside on the street. It's a great place to go and have a semi quiet drink. Their Manhattan's are quite good, for a quick mix, and beers come fast after ordering. There are the "street vendors" you'll have to put up with while drinking outside; but they will pass if you ignore them. I however did not, and ended up petting some guys snake.... No really he had a python around his neck. Go here if you're tired of fighting for a drink in town and want to enjoy a talk with a good friend or significant other. This was a great option for me because im a old man trapped in a 20 year olds body. 3 stars because the chairs are cute, the drinks are good, and the location works for anyone in Coconut Grove. I would like to see a bit more control of the colorful street vendors coming up to your table, and a bit more theme to their décor other then the cool chairs outside. Perhaps some really seasonal premium cocktails would be a nice touch.

Good service, incredible burger. Free drink refills, too. That's rare at a place as chic as this.

Great location on the corner we had grape leaves and drinks. Price right for the area.

What a killer spot! Great food, fun servers and excellent people watching. Had a lunch and dinner there prior to and after a triathlon. Very accomodating of large parties and a couple of picky eaters. Interesting menu with some standouts - lentil salad, salmon with a fennel sauce. Great vibe to the place all the time.

One of my favorite spots in all of Miami. Great food, fun staff, very clean and well kept dining area with plenty of liveliness around the bar at night. A+ every time!!!

I'd only been to GreenStreet at night for drinks a few times, and found it pretty ordinary. Then I went for brunch. I consider myself to be a bit of a junk-food connoisseur, and must say their cheeseburger is on my top 3 list for best in Miami. Though a bit pricey (I believe it was about $15 for the burger with fries and a glass of water), it was definitely worth every bite. Yum.

Always a safe good bet in the grove. Service is hit or miss but their food is consistently good. Place is always jumping too. Anything on their lunch and dinner menus is good.
(4)Lindsay N.
Ordered a salad and the lettuce was old so I asked for another and the second time around was better. The hamburger was a just a regular sisco burger nothing to rave about. Ok place but there's better choices in that area.

Thanks to comfortable seating (indoors and outdoors), great Bloody Marys and omelettes, this is one of the most popular brunch spots among Coonut Grove locals.
(3)Matt W.
Perfect location in the Grove, lots of outside seating, great choice of malts, vodkas, etc. Always crowded whether for lunch, dinner or just drinks compared to that other place on the other side of the street ;)

My boyfriend and I went for brunch. Fresh squeezed OJ and watermelon lemonade were great. He said the coffee was awful. He got eggs benedict, I got salmon benedict. Ham seemed like pre-sliced processed meat. My egg was basically cooked through (I mean, hard-boiled by accident) so back it went. It came back on the wheat toast they'd forgotten the first time instead of the english muffin. Oops. Hollandaise was somehow off. All of this could be potentially forgiven - but we were really bothered by the line on the menu under pancakes that said "Real maple syrup available for $1.25 extra." If you are known for brunch, you get points off for serving corn syrup - and more points off for announcing it. I could be convinced to give this another try, but only under duress.

While surrounding restaurants are constantly undergoing transformation under new ownership, GreenStreet continues to stand strong and has done so for almost more than two decades. This says a lot about a place always filled with locals, politicians, and pets are also welcomed. I've been coming here for more than 10 years for birthdays, football games or simply dinner or a drink and I have never been disappointed. My boyfriend and I visited for breakfast this weekend. We arrived early, about 9am. You should too if you can, it gets really crowded after 10am and you are more likely to wait. I had a delicious omelet with mushrooms and goat cheese. My better half went for the egg whites with spinach and feta which I tried and almost made me feel guilty for ordering eggs. Well, almost. Come hungry, they are very splendid with portions; my wheat toast appeared to be super sized. Luckily, my man likes to spread jelly and have as desert so no bread was wasted here. We sat at the small, round outdoor tables and though crowded, it was not noisy and was bright with the morning sunlight. Plus sitting outside means taking pleasure in people watching and table side pets like the little poodle whose owner had sat in his own chair. If you are a bag lady like me, a hook under the outside tables holds your bag. You can also sit in the red velvet like comfortable couches, it's signature seating at this Coconut Grove staple.

I love this place! I've only been here at night. It gets pretty busy on Friday nights. People just lounge around on the red couches with drinks or grab something to eat on their regular tables outside. Inside they have a bar and more couches. The services there is very good, our waiter was very attentive. This is definately a locals hangout.
(5)Michael M.
Yeah, only went there in the evening. So my opinion is valid only when considering nightlife, but I was not impressed. The layout was ineffective. Everyone was crowded up at the outdoor bar, but the inside had huge vacant spaces and the bathroom line was long.
(3)Jav M.
too many DBs and middle -aged adolencents hanging out and getting drunk .... the food is okay... and it's a chill place to hang out on a Sunday afternoon.... but other than that.... I do NOT reccomend.
(2)Stephanie V.
Great place to eat brunch and people watch. Delicious omelets, french toast and baguettes. The downside is the wait on weekend mornings.
(4)V K.
excellent place to hangout, great locals spot, drinks are mixed generously, spot to go on a date, many wine specials, excellent food, beautiful outdoor seating, conveniently located to other bars, only thing is that the interior decorations are a little off, little white plastic men hanging from the walls and ceilings.

greenstreet is this little oasis of coolneighborhoodieness in the overly touristy grove area. it's been around since the early 80's (i believe) and started with just a few tables. they've expanded since with tables wrapping around both sides of the building and a few rooms inside as well. the standard seating outside is mixed with segafredo-esque seating (ie. awesome antique wooden chairs & loves seats with red cloth). the food is pretty f-ing good. however, over the past few years they've been skimping a bit. for example, their crab cake evolution... 6 years ago... 2 juicy, almost no-filler crab cakes adorned with a huge side salad with house dressing. 4 years ago... 1 huge crab cake with some more filler and a medium side salad 2 years ago... 1 decent size crab cake with a sprig of side salad w/little to no dressing that was pretty much just garnish and even with their (d)evolution of their crab cake, it's still a great little place. their french fries are a masterpiece. burgers are a delight and brunch is usually exceptional (minus the wait). during brunch on the weekends, expect to wait 30 min minimum. also expect to see "The Tribe of the Loud Pants" (also known as the cyclists who like to grab some tasty food after riding in their bright colored cycling gear. i'm convinced it's their unofficial hangout.) feel free to bring your dogs, i do. and bring an empty stomach. only reason they didn't get 5 stars is cause i'm jaded about the crab cakes and their extensive wine list shrunk a bit. :(
(4)Justin P.
I don't know why, but I like this place. The food isn't great, but it's not bad. Same for the service, but whenever I eat here (or even just meet for drinks), I have a great time. Be warned, if you come at the most popular times, this place gets packed and LOUD.
(3)Ryan C.
Great atmosphere and good food held back by tiny tables and high prices if you go for lunch. I go here a lot b/c it's has a great atmosphere out on their patio. It's right on a corner in the grove and it has tons of shaded outdoor seating where you can people watch and just enjoy the day. The only thing that would make the patio better is if some of the tables were farther apart (I can almost always bump into the table behind me by leaning back a little in my chair) and if the tables themselves were slightly bigger. There 4 top tables are the size many restaurant's use for 2 tops. I've never had a bad meal here either and for dinner the prices are reasonable, but since it has the same menu for lunch, the lunch is a bit pricey ($14 and up). I have been here once for brunch and I enjoyed it thoroughly, the portions were huge, and everything was under $10 I believe. Worth stopping by if you're hungry in the Grove.
(3)Brittany E.
Good breakfast.. I've been here once, and liked it.. Although I thought it was uncomfortable..
(4)Ruby D.
One of the wonderful outdoor eateries in the "Grove"...this place is happening for breakfast, lunch, dinner and after dinner. We love having a late breakfast there....lounging outside watching the world move by. The service is quite good and the food is always fresh and well made. Other than the dogs barking at each other, this spot is great.
(4)Opinionated L.
Wow! There are some serious mixed reviews here. Well, I'll put my two cents in. I've been here a few times after doing my long runs on Saturday morning. I've only ordered the wheat blueberry pancakes and I have to say it is ABSOLUTELY DE-LISH! I'm actually running a 10K in the Grove this weekend and all I can think about is my reward....the pancakes. I'm hooked. The few times I've been, I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes. The outside seating is fabulous and great for people watching and the service has been good. Not great, but good. The reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I haven't been in the evening and I haven't tried anything else on the menu. I can't seem to get away from the pancakes. I like that fact that they're not super greasy and they give you a decent portion. Happy Eating!

Ah, Green Street. Hands down, THEE place to people watch in the Grove. The place I drink champagne on a Friday nights until I just about fall over - for FREE (ladies special only). I can't tell you how many good times I've had here over the last 2 years - it's the go-to spot for my whole crew to hang out, discuss what we are doing for the weekend (and beyond) and shake off our hectic work week. The service is always great and the food is very basic, good and consistent. I usually end up ordering the margarita pizza or the mediterranian plate (grape leaves, generous pile of hummus and tabouli, pita) - always yummy. The calamari is just OK - not the best I've had, but still pretty tasty. A friend of mine orders the Bolognese pasta often and she always says it's very good too. I almost forgot about the Blue Moon beer specials - $3 a beer on Fridays... It's Friday and I'm headed over there tonight!
(4)Erik-Lizzie D.
We dropped in last night for late night happy hour which is 11p to close. It was full but we found a little table by the bar. Loud music, maybe too loud, but still yummy drinks and the caramelized onion flatbread pizza was crazy crazy gooood! The mango martini is my new fave drink I discovered here a few weeks ago :) Highly recommend!

This place might as well have a "Runners Welcome, Mimosas Flowing" banner as you approach the hostess stand on a Saturday morning-they are a favorite for early morning runners on Saturday- and my Team in Training team and alumni are no exception. We always get seated quickly ( even at times when the number of people in our party can go from 4 - 15), the service never suffers due to the overflow of orders and diet specific alterations to meals-and- you get eat a hearty breakfast for under 10.00, while sitting out on grand ave people watching and enjoying the Miami weather. Everyday they serve breakfast till 2pm- but on Saturdays and Sundays they do offer Eggs Benedict which do not disappoint. Not to mention their banana chocolate pancakes, or french toast - their pancake and french toast orders are gargantuan! I usually order their one egg ( which really looks like two) and it comes with a side of toast and their breakfast potatoes for 4.99. STEAL! the mimosas however, are 8.00 a flute- I would like to see a different pricing for that someday-your drink shouldn't cost more than your entire plate of food! They also have alot of a la carte items, as well as a full lunch/dinner menu after 12. I have never gone for anything other than breakfast- eventually I will. Other than that-this is a staple of my Saturday mornings in the grove with teammates- failthful service, and never disappointing.

Came out for a late lunch and received impeccable service. We decided to sit outside on the sidewalk to enjoy the weather along with the food. We were told we can sit anywhere we liked and the server promptly came out. He suggested the watermelon lemonade and brought out some bread. The lemonade was very good and after the bread was finished, he asked if we wanted some more. I really appreciate a waiter who checks up on the table every few minutes and this waiter was on point. As I ordered the blackened fish wrap he suggested I get it medium due to the cooking length possibly drying out the blackened fish. I took his suggestion and the wrap was great. I got the fries with the wrap and they were very good as well. Great service and great food at a price that won't break the bank.

Ok food, not great Good service not best Great location Expensive
(3)Gabe H.
Pretty good. Not bad. I've had better and I've had worse. It wasn't all that but I didn't feel like I got ripped off. The waiter spoke fluent enough English and that's always a plus. But honestly, I could take it or leave it. I probably won't miss it if I never eat there again.
(3)Talisha M.
Hello Sunday brunch I love you! Incredible food, mimosas, gorgeous people, outdoor seating...seriously what else could you want!! Great place to bring your dog but be prepared to wait as the word is out this is the place to be on Sundays!!
(5)Wilson H.
GreenStreet Cafe is a must visit when you are in Coconut Grove. Food: I have only been there for Brunch multiple times on the weekends and it is one of the best (if not the best) places in Miami for Brunch. I have never been disappointed by the food at all. My favorite is the Spinach and Feta omelet with their potatoes. Very good! My wife always orders the Banana Pancakes and they are to die for. Fluffy, sweet, but not too sweet and overall delicious. Service: During Brunch the service is good. Have never had any complaints about it. Servers always have a smile on their face and are very helpful. Sometimes they seem to get sidetracked because of the amount of tables they are waiting but overall no complaints. At night the bar scene is pretty good. I have only ordered drinks by the outside bar and the bartender is quick and serves good drinks. Price is typical of what you would expect to find.
(4)Edgar V.
Great place for get togethers with friends especially for those who like a lounge type atmosphere with cool house music playing softly in the background. Their outdoor seating area is great ie., red velvet sofa's on the side walk definately a great way to spend time to relax, enjoy your company of friends, people watch and enjoy some drinks/ cocktails/ beer/ wine, etc. Try the Mango Mojito cant go wrong! The food offered there is good as well
(4)T O.
If you haven't been here, you should go, not because its very good, more because its an institution. But the food is not amazing, and the staff is pretty bad all around. It's more about location and people watching than anything.

Sunday brunch at Green St is for all, young couples, yuppie families with dogs and small children...two-leggeds and four-leggeds! I've been to Green St for brunch twice now, and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience this time around. First time was "meh" and not worth an update. Had the nova benedict for brunch, this time I did not get toast with it. But it was completely delicious! Not your typical Hollandaise sauce, the potatoes were fried with onions this time around...very very tasty! I loved it and polished off ALL my food. My dining companion had a vegetable omelette which she says is her favorite at Green St. Waiter was very attentive, he came by to make sure her coffee was always refilled and warm. I was surprised, especially since it is SuperBowl weekend and it was crazy all around. I suppose one could get pleasantly surprised the second time around...:) Tip-bits: Heaters outside are on when it's cooler or chilly out Parking is $6 at the lot beside , self-park

This was a great find in the Grove. After wandering a bit and looking for a place to enjoy a glass of wine, the huge sidewalk patio and late hours (even on a Wednesday) brought us to Green Street. I ended up here 2 nights in a row. They have a good and reasonably-priced wine and draught beer selection. Although it was late, I can never resist food, so we checked out their Chorizo flatbread pizza - Chorizo on half bc I don't love meat. It was awesome and the perfect amount of food for a snack over a glass of wine. The service was good even though it was busy. I will definitely be back to Green Street the next time I'm in the Grove.
(4)Michael M.
I would confidently say that this is the best place for a great breakfast in the Gables, and an even better Brunch on weekends. There is no shortage of outdoor seating so you can enjoy great food in the shaded outdoors of beautiful Coco Walk. My ideal breakfast here is starting off with a Mimosa.. or two, and ordering the delicious herb omelet with sauteed potatoes on the side. Green Street also houses my most favorite bagels in the world. They are always so fresh and crusty on the outside, mmm, it really hits home for me. Conclusion : The food is always delicious and amazing, the location and appearance are as good as it gets, AND you can have yourself a nice drink at breakfast without getting any looks! A+

Went to greenstreets last night! no big deal, usual spot in the grove.. one of the more relaxed places to hang out, sit down, if you can get a table or red velet couch and have a drink. The service is great, this one girl Alex is really the best, just dont be rude or crazy with her. They have tons of spicy bar munchies and if youre extra speical they give you some bruschetta on the casa. They had a sam adams beer sampling which i enjoyed so much i bought a beer! then some sambuca and threw some coffee beans in it.. started having alot of fun with coffee beans.. The food menu is not too extensive, but its definitely a great place for lunch or better yet brunch on the weekend! a must go in the grove for sure... the music was a step above the rest of the grove as well...

Got here at 11 was told wait was 30 minutes long. after patiently waiting until 12 was told we couldnt sit because kitchen was backed up. waited to be seated until 1215, and ordered pancakes and they had run out. Didn't even offer to invite me back, apologize, anything, they just lost me as a customer. go to lulus across the street instead. they wasted half of my sunday and the food wasnt even worth it.

my friend asked me to meet him here for a little biz talk last night, i had never been to green street before, didnt even notice it and this is kinda embarrassing as ive biked on main hwy at least eight hundred times. i really like their seating area outside, like liz t says, awesome antique wooden chairs ... i like that. i did not come in at all but it seemed like it was dark inside. about the service. i guess im picky, and i know this. im spoiled and potentially rude but i dont like it when a server seats you and says "hihowareyouwouldyoulikesomethingtodrink?" i like it when they respond. i usually respond "im good, how about yourself?" as soon as i hear 'how are you?' but rarely i get an answer. i know, im spoiled. its my bad education. i am aware. we ordered a few beers, oh yeah, all of their beers are only $4.50 after 10pm and wells are $6. so i had a few guinness draught and my friend had a few heinekens. we also shared a pizza margarita. pretty good pizza actually... and only 12$ overall, my experience was ok, i would come back for the food and inexpensive beers and hopefully i will get more attentive/personalized service and i will bump my rating up another star making it 4 solid stars.
