Recoveco

"You’ve met the ingredients listed on Recoveco's menu before—things like chicken, grouper, shrimp, and celery. But this seasonal South Miami restaurant puts them underneath a microscope, tuning every detail of the dish to surprising, painstaking perfection. The grouper eats more like a ribeye. The chicken is so crunchy it could start a fire by rubbing its pieces together. There are restaurants where you can go on autopilot and hand your brain off to a couple of dirty martinis and old faithful entrees. Recoveco isn’t one of them. So save this place for a night when you feel capable of appreciating every globule of oil and individual finger lime pulp." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino

"Committing to an entree at Recoveco is an excruciating exercise in decision anxiety. But if you’re already set on steak, rest assured you’ve made a good decision. Like everything Recoveco does, this is a familiar dish executed with a level of precision and creativity that resets the neurons in your brain that are in charge of the word “steak.” It’s hard to decide who the real star of the dish is: the gorgeous ribeye or the rich red banana au poivre—an au poivre riff we've never seen before (and can't wait to see again)." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino

"Newcomer Recoveco in South Miami, led by former Alter sous chefs Maria Teresa Gallina and Nicolas Martinez, has quickly garnered plenty of buzz for its concise, hyper-seasonal, locally inspired menu. Standout dishes include beef tongue with sesame and chimichurri, Pennsylvania golden chicken with green mango sauce, and chilled royal red shrimp. Desserts like fig leaf and cucumber, featuring ingredients from the chef’s backyard, add a personal touch to the menu." - Olee Fowler, Eater Staff
