In Argentina, Diego Maradona isn’t just a soccer player, he’s a saint. At 1986 Steakhouse, his face watches over the dining room like a religious icon, reminding you that within here, futbol and fire are at the forefront of Argentinian culture. The brand new establishment brings an upscale modern edge to classic Argentinian tradition in the heart of Coconut Grove. Centered around live-fire cooking and traditional asado culture, it brings an inviting energy where friends and family can connect on a deeper level.

The restaurant’s signature tagline is “defined by fire,” and they mean it. Each dish brings a rich smokiness that only a charcoal grill can deliver. If meat’s not your thing, don’t fret, as the menu features reinvented salads, seafoods, poultry and a Kaluga caviar service if you’re feeling like a World Cup winner.
