Celestial Nights at Cielo

Recently attending their 1-Year Anniversary Party, I realized that Cielo Restaurant & Supper Club has singled-handedly revived the once thriving Coconut Grove.

The venue itself is gorgeous, but unlike some South Beach restaurants whose decor overpowers the food, the 'Supper Club' is not to be underestimated. I enjoyed their Grilled Salmon Napolean dish off the new, revamped menu and let's just say it was worth the waiting for my entire 10-person party to be present to then finally be seated. This salmon was stacked with tomatoes, spinach, and an added wonton crunch to make a great dish.

Since I was attending during a big event for Cielo, media covered the place with flashes going off everywhere, music blared to set the atmosphere, and a few celebrities were present in Cielo's private wine room. However, I've been there plenty of other times and I can truly say it's always hosting a beautiful, elite crowd.

Reservations are recommended, however you can always enjoy the bar options while you wait for your table. ;)

You know, I have never heard of this restaurant before. Thanks for the info. I will definitely check this out. I love grilled Salmon served with vegetables.

Your welcome. Heads up, Thursday nights get extremely packed so if you want a nice, quiet dinner, go on Friday or Saturday. Let me know how it goes :)
