Fodor's Review:
Coconut palms grow through the roof of this open-air thatched restaurant, flickering candlelight illuminates colorful local murals, waves lap the white sand, and the warm waitstaff provides just the right level of service. Jean-François Bellanger's superbly presented dishes fuse French culinary preparations with island ingredients. Top choices include pan-seared snapper medallions served with roasted sweet potato in a saffron white-wine curry; tuna tartare accented by tapenade with molasses drizzle and guacamole; and chicken stuffed with creole vegetables in mango-kiwi sauce. The kitchen can be uneven, the wine list is merely serviceable, and the buzzing happy-hour bar traffic lingering well into dinnertime can detract from the otherwise romantic atmosphere. Nonetheless, Coconut Grove straddles the line between casual beachfront boîte and elegant eatery with aplomb.

Great overall!

We overheard some people around the pool at our hotel talking about the Coconut Grove Restaurant, and one couple saying it was their favorite, so that night we decided to try it ourselves. Great location, outdoor on the water, the food was indeed very good. The only dounsize to our evening is that the staff don't smile that much and it took a while before they warmed up - I guess they might have had a bad day. In any case, we highly recommend this restaurant for dinner.
