Barton G the Restaurant				Write a Review
1427 West Ave	American, Contemporary	$$$$	South Beach
The swank, attractive surroundings; swank, attractive crowd; thoughtful wine list; alluring fare; and countless titillating details make Barton G the most daringly and delightfully different restaurant to open in Miami Beach since the respective debuts of China Grill and Tantra -- and this one...

Bourbon Steak, A Michael Mina Restaurant				Write a Review
19999 W Country Club Dr	Asian Other, Contemporary, Steakhouse	$$$$	North Dade
Bourbon Steak is a contemporary American steak house, and as such does not serve the style of cuisine traditionally associated with the uppermost echelon of establishments. Yet when à la carte entrée accompaniments include butter-poached lobster tail, grilled foie gras, and roasted... More >>

Chef Allen's Restaurant				3 User Reviews
19088 NE 29th Ave	Contemporary	$$$$	North Dade
Chef/owner Allen Susser has achieved national recognition as one of the founders of New World cuisine, which he now refers to as "Palm Tree Cuisine," a cross-cultural connection of landscapes linked by tropicality -- Latin America, the Pacific Rim, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean. Chef... More >>

Domo Japones				Write a Review
4000 NE 2nd Ave	Japanese/Sushi	$$$$	Miami/Central Dade
This hip and stylish new Design District entry is crowded with a cocktail of chic scenesters fizzed with local folks, but sushi/nigiri/sashimi selections and “Japanese bistro fare” are the real scene-stealers. Chef Timon Balloo’s menu weaves local, organic, and distinctive... More >>

Escopazzo				Write a Review
1311 Washington Ave	Italian	$$$$	South Beach
Though owner Pino Bodoni hails from a Roman restaurateur family, this isn’t Mama’s home cucina -- and it sure ain’t your mom’s Italian-American spaghetti and meatballs, either. Bodoni’s inventive wife/chef Giancarla does turn out a mean authentic tagliatelle Bolognese,... More >>

Hiro Japanese Restaurant and Sushi & Yakitori Bar				2 User Reviews
3007 NE 163rd St	Japanese/Sushi	$$	North Beaches
Soothing jazz soundtracks and late-night hours (till 3:30 a.m.) make Hiro appealing for cocktail-hour snacks and after-movie munchies, but grilled yakitori and fresh sushi rolls are appropriate for mealtimes, too. Don't pass up the spider roll (made with soft-shell crab) or the salmon, scallion,... More >>

Ideas Restaurant				1 User Reviews
2833 Bird Ave	Spanish	$$$$	Coconut Grove/Key Biscayne
Chef Alvaro Beade hails from Valladolid, in the Spanish province of Castilla y León, and many of Idea’s foodstuffs are imported from here as well -- most notably Mediterranean seafoods such as calamarilike cuttlefish, lubina (sea bass), and dorada (sea bream), the last cooked in a... More >>

Il Migliore Trattoria				Write a Review
2576 NE Miami Gardens Dr	Italian	$$$	North Dade
This quaintly appointed Tuscan-style trattoria is a gem. The menu and cuisine are as elemental as can be, chef/owner Neal Cooper favoring fresh, quality ingredients over complicated cooking techniques. Actually there’s no cooking involved when it comes to cold appetizers of prosciutto,... More >>

Joe Allen				Write a Review
1787 Purdy Ave	American	$$$	South Beach
Despite being located just a Manolo Blahnik’s throw from the bustle, hustle, and flow of Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road, Joe Allen is more about grits than glitz. The square dining room with a long bar at the entrance is comfortable and casual rather than intimidating, and designed to within... More >>

La Marea				1 User Reviews
1220 Ocean Dr	Mediterranean	$$$$	South Beach
The new, improved Tides has really revived with the arrival of Italian chef Pietro Rota and his clean, uncomplicated Mediterranean fare. Take the open ravioli appetizer, an ethereal sheet of pasta draped over creamed potato mousseline so smooth that from here on out, regular mashed potatoes... More >>

The Mahogany Grille				5 User Reviews
2190 NW 183rd St	Southern/Soul Food	$$	North Dade
Mahogany Grille is neither a sports bar nor a funky chitterlings joint, but a handsome soul food restaurant with warm, namesake wooden accents and fresh flowers on white linen tablecloths -- the idea being that the humble nature of the cuisine shouldn’t preclude it from being eaten in... More >>

Maison d'Azur				Write a Review
660 Washington Ave	French, Seafood	$$$$	South Beach
This fantastic seafood brasserie takes its name and cue from the Côte d’Azur, and it is so understatedly chic that it’s easy to imagine the Riviera coast twinkling below. The main indoor room echoes a timeless, romantic brasserie, with wood floors, arched windows, and... More >>

Michael�s Genuine Food & Drink				2 User Reviews
130 NE 40th St	Contemporary	$$$$	Miami/Central Dade
Like all great American cooking, new and old, chef/owner Michael Schwartz’s food comes from heart, not haute. It also comes from hearth, as in a wood-fired vidalia onion, its soft, sweet, translucent rings smokily roasted and cupped around ground lamb scrambled with apricots and Moroccan... More >>

Michy's				Write a Review
6927 Biscayne Blvd	Contemporary	$$$	North Dade
Miami’s hottest chef, Michelle Bernstein, is literally sweating it out over a hot stove in her modest 50-seat restaurant on a not-yet-up-and-coming stretch of Biscayne Boulevard. Michy’s is like the classical European restaurants of yesteryear, when everything was made from scratch.... More >>

North One 10				Write a Review
11052 Biscayne Blvd	American, Contemporary	$$$$	North Dade
Cream-colored brick walls conspire with blond woods, amber-colored glass, a very low ceiling, and little else, to form a refreshingly unpretentious -- or just plain dull -- ambiance, depending upon personal taste in such matters. Most would agree the overall effect is cozy, and anyone... More >>

The Oceanaire Seafood Room				2 User Reviews
900 S. Miami Ave	Seafood	$$$$	Miami/Central Dade
When Joe’s Stone Crab premiered on South Beach in 1913, it was the first classic American seafood house in the Miami area. Ninety-four years later, with the opening of the Oceanaire Seafood Room in Mary Brickell Village, we finally have our second. With its elegantly sweeping curves,... More >>

Ortanique on the Mile				1 User Reviews
278 Miracle Mile	Caribbean, Contemporary	$$	Coral Gables
Named after the rare ortanique, a tropical citrus fruit, the restaurant is elegant in an islandy kind of way. Some of the signature dishes from the creative Caribbean palette include: pumpkin bisque with pepper sherry sauce, jerk chicken penne, conch fritters, snapper escovitche, and grilled... More >>

Pascal's on Ponce				1 User Reviews
2611 Ponce de Leon Blvd	French	$$$$	Coral Gables
This modest 16-table, 55-seat room hasn’t changed much since celebrated chef Pascal Oudin first opened the doors to his place in 2000. The space is well lighted and conspicuously clean -- the walls freshly painted, linens neatly pressed, nosegays of unblemished roses blooming upon each... More >>

Prime One Twelve				Write a Review
112 Ocean Dr	American, Steakhouse	$$$$	South Beach
There’s much more than just beef at this inventive New American steak house. Noncarnivores can also dine happily on creative "chef’s composition" entrées featuring poultry or seafood (like wild salmon -- incomparably better than farmed fish -- with a lemon nage); or on... More >>

Rosa Mexicano				3 User Reviews
900 S Miami Ave	Mexican	$$	Miami/Central Dade
Miami folks in 2007 are in the same place New Yorkers were in ’84: hungering for the clean, complex flavors that characterize real Mexican cooking. Just like back then, Rosa Mexicano comes through for its new hometown. The spicily colored dining room is stylish but has a franchised feel... More >>

Sardinia Enoteca Ristorante				1 User Reviews
1801 Purdy Ave	Italian	$$$	South Beach
Get off to a rousing start by assembling your own personalized antipasti platter from among meats (coppa, bresaola, prosciutto di parma), vegetables (braised fennel, roast beets, assortment of olives with wild fennel flowers), and cheeses (Gorgonzola, Taleggio), presented upon gorgeously... More >>

Su-Shin Izakaya				Write a Review
159 Aragon Ave	Japanese/Sushi	$$$	Coral Gables
Not just a sushi joint, this bustling lunch-and-dinner spot in downtown Coral Gables offers daily specials -- scribbled in Kanji and English on blackboards that run the length of the east wall -- depending on what's fresh. A treasure on the regular menu is the spicy kimuchi ramen, a fiery... More >>

Talula				Write a Review
210 23rd St	Contemporary	$$$$	South Beach
When Talula opened in June 2003, its culinary style could have been labeled “cutting-edge comfort food” (chef/owners Frank Randazzo and Andrea Curto-Randazzo call it “creative American cuisine”). Influences remain the same -- some dishes based on Asian ingredients, others... More >>

Timo Restaurant & Bar				Write a Review
17624 Collins Ave	American, Contemporary, Greek/Mediterranean	$$$	North Beaches
Owners Tim Andriola and Rodrigo Martinez are, respectively, chef and general manager, and both talented at what they do. The two were working on premises shortly after Timó opened and are still doing likewise today. This place is consistent -- consistently fine. The casually upscale... More >>

La Quebradita				Write a Review
702 N Krome Ave	Mexican	$$	South Miami/Kendall/South Dade
